Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 309 Euphorbia VS Baima Yicong
Seeing Gongsun Zan leading the troops to kill, Zhang Yun immediately ordered: "Hide behind the horses! Wait for the opportunity!"

A soldier holding a halberd entered the predetermined position one after another, and another crossbowman was assigned to station on both sides to shoot and kill the incoming enemy.

The place Zhang Xi chose was quite mysterious. Overall, it was a downhill land, not steep, but obvious.

According to common sense, infantry fighting cavalry on the downhill is almost free, and the cavalry takes advantage of the slope to charge up, doubling their power.

But Zhang Xi did the opposite, because he had preset the horse-rejecting pocket array, and the number was already too large, and the arrangement was quite particular.

In the place where you enter the battle, there are not many horse refusals, which are easy to avoid, but there will be more and more funnel-shaped refusals, and eventually the invading enemy will regret coming here.

If the enemy troops are lucky enough to pass here, what awaits them is the character-shaped Resisting Horse Formation. With the help of the terrain, the speed of the cavalry cannot be slowed down. Coupled with the large number of enemy troops, turning will naturally become a problem. of wooden thorns.

If the enemy can pass here, they will enter Zhang He's halberd formation, and Zhang He is full of expectations for refusing to cooperate with the long halberd.

A few days ago, a small group of Gongsun soldiers occasionally came to attack, and they basically couldn't survive the first battle. They suffered some losses in the refusal immediately, and were shot and killed by the crossbows on both sides, and then retreated.

But this time, when Gongsun Zan came in person, Zhang Yun felt vaguely that this would be a battle to justify his name.

It is not only to test his formation ability, but also to test the combat ability of his halberd soldiers. From establishment to training, Zhang Yun has never fought a tough battle. Gongsun Zan of Youzhou is famous for his bravery. Even if the Xiliang rebels invaded, the imperial court appointed him to help out.

"A good general on the frontier, a talent in Anbang, you can say anything against it, so let you, Gongsun Zan, be a stepping stone to my fame!" Zhang He murmured, looking at the cavalry who were getting closer to the formation.

Gongsun Zan walked all the way to this point, but saw nothing unusual until he saw the enemy ahead.

"There is a refusal horse in front, be careful to control the horse!"

Gongsun Zan reminded, and at the same time he felt contemptuous: How can you not know that my Youzhou cavalry are all superb equestrian skills!
Not to mention that it is easy to avoid such a horse, this place is downhill again, if you accelerate enough, you may be able to jump over it directly.

Before entering the battle, Gongsun Zan looked around again and saw heads floating on both sides of the ramp.

"Watch out for both sides, bows and arrows are ready!"

After saying that, Gongsun Zan put the long spear in his hand away, put it in the holster, then took out the long bow, and shot an arrow at the left side.

Before Gongsun Zan could issue an order, he just took the lead and took action, and the many white horse followers behind him followed suit directly, as if Gongsun Zan's behavior was a military order.

The surroundings imitated, the army behind learned from the army before, and for a while, rounds of arrows rushed towards the sides like waves.

Before the crossbowmen of Zhang Yun's army could take action, they were the first to be suppressed by a round of arrow rain, and dozens of people were killed by arrows immediately.

Zhang Yun's crossbow counterattacked immediately. Unlike Baima Yicong's free fire, someone from Zhang Yun's side ordered a salvo.

"Get ready, let go!"

The arrows on both sides pinched each other, and the real arrows poured down like a rain of arrows. Bai Ma Yicong waved his bow to block.

All of this, Zhang Xi, who was watching the battle from a distance, saw it in his eyes.

And this kind of operation?

It has to be said that Baima Yicong's combat effectiveness is indeed extraordinary. Just the courage and tacit understanding of discovering the enemy's first attack requires countless coordinated battles to sharpen it. Looking at the sparse arrows on the left, Zhang He can see that The crossbowman on the left suffered a lot of losses.

In this round of confrontation, they actually fell into a disadvantage.

Zhang He clenched his fists and murmured, "Get into the battle! Get into the battle!"

Bai Ma Yi rode and shot from one side, and soon, as Gongsun Zan avoided a rejecting horse, he officially entered Zhang He's rejecting horse formation.

The two sides were still exchanging arrows, shooting back and forth, causing casualties to each other, but overall, Gongsun Zan suffered more casualties, because Zhang Yun's army's defense was relatively good. There were thousands of arrows in one round, [-]% hit the target, and another [-]% hit the target. There are only a few dozen people who have successfully hit the vital points. On the other hand, Baima Yicong, who is less prepared, has a relatively close hit rate and casualty rate. In order to emphasize flexibility and riding speed, they are basically wearing leather light armor. However, in the arrow rain Among them, speed is not an advantage.

Therefore, in the first round, it seemed that Zhang Yun's army was at a disadvantage, but in fact, the loss was even smaller.

After entering the horse-repelling formation, Baima Yicong's rate of fire decreased, because they had to concentrate on controlling the horses to avoid the horse-rejection, and at the same time, they also had to beware of colliding with teammates. Baima Yicong's attack was a bit out of reach.

Most of them swung bows instead of shields to block arrows.

Gongsun Zan also discovered this point, Xin Dao's opponent's methods were really dirty, using these small tricks to deal with it, obviously he didn't dare to fight head-on.

I have fought for half my life, mostly hedging, riding and shooting, and even captured a city, but I have never seen anyone who refuses a horse to attack people.

What kind of damage can this thing do?You can bypass it easily, and you can even pass it if you work hard, but what a terrible thing it is to suddenly have one in front of you during the battle!

Wait, then!When you rush over, you must kill the opponent without leaving a piece of armor!
Gongsun Zan's heart fluttered, he bypassed a refusal horse, and suddenly another one appeared in front of him...

He just wanted to rein in the horse's head to avoid it, but the horse froze for a moment. Gongsun Zan was startled and reined the horse immediately.

The front desk of the horseshoe passed by.

so close!Just as Gongsun Zan breathed a sigh of relief, he saw two war horses coming straight towards him, and the three of them wanted to go around the rejecting horse in front at the same time.

and many more!

Gongsun Zan seemed to have noticed something was wrong. There was nothing wrong with the war horses. It was the arrangement of these repelling horses that was carefully designed to lead them into crowds and eventually collide. Moreover, the slope became steeper and the speed of the cavalry continued to increase. Speed ​​up and deal with these variables. If you are a little careless, you will be turned into a hedgehog by the wooden thorns on the rejected horse.

Gongsun Zan knew that he had been fooled, but he didn't dare to order to slow down rashly.

If the speed of the front army slows down, and the rear army rushes down with the help of the slope, they will undoubtedly rush over their own front army.

No wonder they had to defend on such terrain, it turned out to be because of this!It seems to be at a disadvantage, but in fact there are other calculations.

Suddenly, there was a bang from the flanks, and then several horses neighed. It turned out that some people had collided with each other in order to avoid it, and finally hit the rejecting horse. Where to go, if you are unlucky, you will directly hang up on the rejection horse.

A single impact, like a chain reaction, made many white horses who were walking on thin ice panic, and some war horses were also frightened. If they reacted slowly, it would be a collision tragedy.

It was only then that Gongsun Zan realized that with his outstanding equestrian skills, he could easily avoid these obstacles, but the level of the white horses under his tent varies, so he may not be able to do it all.But now in a dangerous place, once there is an accident, it will be a chain reaction.

Soon, the collision incidents rose sharply, and the fallen horses and cavalrymen also blocked the narrow passage, making it even more difficult to pass.

It's like a group of people charging at full speed, rushing side by side into a narrower and narrower dead end, and the acceleration continues to accelerate, the ending can be imagined.

A burst of regret arose in Gongsun Zan's heart. The long and easy victory made him unintentionally underestimate the enemy. The opponent in front of him was different from the many battles he had fought in the past.

However, there is regret, but there is no medicine for regret. Facing the enemy army that is close at hand, Gongsun Zan has no intention of retreating. Looking at the halberd soldiers holding long halberds with malicious intentions, he seems to see ridicule and jokes on their faces. .

Gongsun Zan suddenly felt angry and had the urge to crush it.

It's obviously not enough to deal with yourself by relying on these refusal horses in front of you!

Even if the loss is greater, it is still more than enough to deal with you!
Seeing that the enemy army was within range, Gongsun Zan immediately drew his bow, aimed slightly, and with a sound of "whoosh", the arrow flew straight out.

With a golden sound of "Keng", the arrow hit a halberd soldier's forehead, but it was blocked by his helmet, but because of the huge force, the halberd soldier was shocked to the point of shock, probably at least a slight concussion.

The Baima righteous followers followed suit one after another, changed their targets, and began to shoot at the front army. Although the frequency was not high, they shot directly at close range, and many people were hit by arrows, and many of them hit vital points.

"The white horse thief is really good at shooting, so accurate!" Zhang He cursed.

Gongsun Zan once again bypassed a repelling horse, taking advantage of the short gap, moved both hands together, swapping bows for guns, all in one go.

Not only that, he was also furious, and he swung his gun fiercely, cutting off all the wooden thorns that refused to ride.

Zhang Yun didn't dare to underestimate him, he looked at Gongsun Zan who was burning with anger, slashed and destroyed the Juma along the way, and charged straight at the euphorbia warrior.

Even though he was repeatedly frustrated, he was still coming fiercely. Zhang He felt as if he was facing an enemy, and he couldn't help showing a little respect for Bai Ma Yicong in his heart.

When they defend their country and fight against foreign enemies, do they also go forward like this?

Were they also so brave and fearless when they fought against the rebels to suppress the rebellion?

It's a pity, it's a pity, if you don't want to be a scholar of the Han Dynasty, why should you be willing to be a slave of the Yuan family!

It's all because of Yuan Shi!

Kill a white horse Yicong today, and kill a pair of Yuan families in the future to pay homage!

But this is the end of the matter, let's fight!

Zhang He was also heroic, and shouted in front of the crowd: "Today is the day to defeat the white horse and become famous and make meritorious deeds!"

All of a sudden, the euphorbia warriors shouted in unison, "Make a name for yourself! Make a name for yourself..."

Gongsun Zan looked at him coldly, several long halberds were swung straight at him, some gouged his forehead, and some bent down insidiously to attack his mount. despicable.

"You idiot, you have no martial arts virtues, and you want to sneak attack!" Gongsun Zan shouted, swung his spear, and swung away the attacking halberd first, with such force that not only deflected the halberd, but also made several people around him sway. All human attacks were in vain.

When he was getting closer, Gongsun Zan turned the gun head, stabbed at the ground suddenly, and hit the body of the halberd.

With a sound of "click", the handle of the halberd made of hardwood cracked immediately. Gongsun Zan turned his hand, and the handle made a crisp sound again, breaking completely, but Gongsun Zan did not stop. He picked up the head of the halberd and spun the spear Spinning, suddenly flew into the halberd array.

There was a scream in the formation, and I don't know which unlucky person suffered the sudden disaster.

In front of Gongsun Zan, he not only defuses the halberd attack, but also counterattacks. Apart from marveling at the opponent's superb martial arts skills, Zhang Yun is more annoyed.

He killed the euphorbia fighters he personally trained, and most of them he could even name.

Baima Yicong separated some and came up with Gongsun Zan, but more of them jumped out of the horse-repelling formation, wandered around the halberd formation, and rode and shot towards the halberd formation from time to time. Although there were not many arrows, they The continuous flow made Zhang He a headache.

"The white horse thief is really hard to deal with!" Zhang He scolded.

The little bit of respect for Baima Yicong guarding the border that had just arisen suddenly disappeared, and he was once again scolded as a white horse thief.

After Baima Yicong dispersed, the Tuqi who followed him also killed them, preparing to rush forward to disperse the halberd array.

The two armies intertwined immediately, spears and halberds intertwined, and blood shot from time to time.

Zhang He immediately went off the field in person, saw the timing, and swung out his halberd with momentum like a rainbow. A sudden cavalry just blocked a long halberd, and saw a phantom coming, and before he had time to react, he suddenly felt a puff in his chest Strenched, the cavalryman let go of his spear and subconsciously grabbed at his chest, but it was in vain.

With one blow, Zhang He retracted his halberd, leaving only a bloody hole, and then went to find another target. Soon, two more cavalry entered his attack range. Judging from this posture, it seemed that they were still heading towards him. Two gunshots struck, as if they wanted to avenge their comrades?
Without further ado, Zhang Yun took a step forward, squatted down, and took a horse step. This action made the two spears go through the air, and Zhang Yun pierced the chest of the horse with a long halberd, and suddenly hit it.

The veins in Zhang He's hands popped out, the steel halberd even bent in an arc, and he pushed the horse out of the way, with a burst of wailing, he died on the spot.

Before the fallen cavalryman got up, Zhang He pierced his head with a halberd, and immediately red and white things splashed everywhere.

After this blow, Zhang Yun turned around without stopping, swung his halberd, and dangerously swung away the spear that was approaching him, and pierced the tip of the halberd into the cavalry's chest without pausing.

"One inch long, one inch strong, it's really easy!" Zhang Yun praised, and then looked at the battlefield.

There were quite a few of Gongsun Zan's cavalry, and they gradually crossed the horse-rejecting formation, and even though the damage was not much, they still surrounded them.

"Want to encircle and annihilate?"

Zhang Yun felt that Gongsun Zan still hadn't figured out the situation, and was still daydreaming. As for Gongsun Zan, who had more than a thousand cavalry, surrounded by two thousand halberd soldiers, there was still a halberd array that refused to cover the horses. Isn't it an idiot's dream?
The attacks of the halberd soldiers all rely on the advantage of the length of the halberd to kill and injure the enemy through the repelling horses, and the casualties of the halberd soldiers are mostly from the riding and shooting of the white horse Yicong, plus the suicidal attack of some sudden cavalry. array caused.

On the battlefield, the most indispensable thing is this kind of head-to-head fighting, rushing down at full speed from high places, not to mention cavalry with long spears, even a dead horse can kill several people.

Even so, it can't change the situation of general disadvantage.

The biggest trouble now is still those Baima Yicong who are flexible and skilled in archery.

Zhang He looked into the distance and immediately ordered: "Send the order! Raise the smoke!"
