Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 583 Yanyun Iron Cavalry
"With my halberd, defeat the enemy and win, with my armor, I am invincible!"

With a burst of passionate shouts, under the command of Zhang Xi, the eight thousand halberd soldiers were like a rock-solid, calm and powerful basalt monster. Like the army.

"Form an array to defend against the enemy, neither break nor regenerate!"

Su Lie shouted loudly. The [-] Yanzhou Army seemed to have forgotten that they were now in danger, surrounded by Yuan's army, and even their lord Liu Xie was under threat from Yuan Shao. The previous panic and terror Fear disappeared in an instant, everyone held the big shield and weapon expressionlessly, and soon formed a large formation with their backs against the wall in an orderly manner under the command of the general!

At the same time, the sound of horseshoes suddenly sounded fiercely, and two thick clouds of dust rose into the air on the left and right. A young general wearing silver armor covering his face led the Yanyun iron cavalry to attack the two wings of the Yanzhou army.

This young general covered in silver armor is Tian Yu, the confidant Yuan Tan recruited in Youzhou. Although Tian Yu is not old, his martial arts skills can rank among the first-class generals in the world.

What's more commendable, his mastery and grasp of the art of war is also extremely good, especially in terms of cavalry, this Yanyun cavalry built after Gongsun Zan's white horse Yicong is his single-handed effort.

In order to facilitate the cavalry's charge and attack, Tian Yu had already demolished all the houses near the city gate. Su Lie and others naturally discovered this before, but they thought Yuan Jun demolished the houses to replenish defensive supplies. It was specially made for the cavalry charge.

Although the distance is only a few hundred feet, it is enough for light cavalry like Yanyun Iron Cavalry to launch a back-and-forth charge.

The faces of Su Lie and the others were frosty, and they did not dare to underestimate the enemy in the slightest. Any decision they make now may affect the survival of the army.

They are now standing with their backs to the city, the terrain is narrow, and it is difficult for [-] troops to exert their full strength at the same time when they are crowded together, but Yuan Jun is just the opposite. Jiao Chu and others are just leading the troops to surround them tightly to intimidate them. The real threat comes from Elites like Euphorbia Warriors and Yanyun Iron Cavalry.

"Eight thousand people, what are you afraid of? Let's see how I, Li Cunxiao, can break you!"

Li Cunxiao suddenly shouted in a muffled voice, waved Yu Wang's spear and rushed out, facing the euphorbia warrior head-on.

"Bullshit!"

Su Lie cursed angrily. It's not that he didn't know how powerful Li Cunxiao was, but fighting against eight thousand euphorbia warriors alone was beyond human power.

He did not dare to send troops to respond, otherwise the formation would be disrupted and Yuan Jun would take the opportunity to attack, the consequences would be disastrous.

The war horse under Li Cunxiao's crotch was just an ordinary war horse that he had captured after entering the city, but it was considered a rare good horse. In just a moment, one man and one horse rushed to the euphorbia warriors.

"Kill this guy for me!"

When Yuan Shang saw Li Cunxiao charging alone, he was so excited that he shouted orders to Zhang Yun.

He knew that Li Cunxiao was the most powerful general under Liu Xie, and once he was taken down, the morale of the Yanzhou army would definitely be lost.

Without Yuan Shang's instructions, Zhang He also intended to use Li Cunxiao to rectify the reputation of the Euphorbia warriors.

I saw the command flag in Zhang Yun's hand waving lightly, and 290 six of the eight thousand euphorbia soldiers were quickly separated.

Every six people form a small formation of plum blossoms, every six small formations of plum blossoms form a formation of plum blossoms, and every six formations of plum blossoms form a large formation of plum blossoms, a small formation nests a large formation, and a large formation nests a small formation. In the end, a large-scale plum blossom formation was formed to completely surround Li Cunxiao.

The way of formation is to use less to fight more, and to defeat the strong with the weak.Cooperate with each other to form a self-contained whole with defense and offense.

The Plum Blossom Formation is not an exquisite and strange formation, but its greatest advantage is that it can be simplified and done at will.

Even if one of the small formations is smashed by Li Cunxiao, it will not affect the linkage between other small formations and large formations, and it will greatly restrain those fierce generals who come to the formation relying on force.

Li Cunxiao didn't seem to know how powerful the plum blossom formation was, he just stood there foolishly waiting for the euphorbia warriors to form a formation, and he didn't seem to have thought about taking advantage of the opponent's unsteady footing to take the lead in charging into the formation.

At the same time, Tai Shici and Lu Qian respectively led two armies to confront the Yanyun iron cavalry who came from the flank!

Everyone present knew clearly how terrifying the cavalry charge was.

Fortunately, it is now in the city after all, even if a lot of houses are demolished, it is still not too spacious, which greatly limits the power storage and charge of Yanyun Iron Cavalry.

But even so, this well-trained Yanyun iron cavalry is still very terrifying when charging, the sound of the galloping horse is like thunder, and the billowing dust is like a turbulent sea.

Tai Shici and Lu Qian didn't dare to make any excuses. The two hurriedly put their sword and shield hands in front of them, kneeling one after another and erecting the big shield. Between the gap, another spearman stabbed out a long spear. The shining spear The tip exudes a gnawing light, just waiting for the Yanyun cavalry to rush up and penetrate through it.

Not only that, when the Yanyun iron cavalry charged to a distance of less than a hundred steps, the two gave an order at the same time, and the archers hiding behind bent their bows together, and shot sharp arrows towards the front!

Piercing Yang with a hundred steps is the standard for measuring a good shot. It is naturally impossible for the Yanzhou Army to have so many people with such good archery skills.

Not surprisingly, most of the arrows fell weakly due to exhaustion when they were only shot seventy or eighty steps away.

However, Tai Shici and Lu Qian were not disappointed by this. From the beginning to the end, they never imagined how much threat they could bring to Yanyun Iron Cavalry with their bows and arrows.

Even if hundreds of enemies can be shot to death, there are [-] Yanyun iron cavalry, and the damage of hundreds of people can't cause any restrictions on their charge.

On the contrary, the two ordered the soldiers to pull the bowstring when they were out of the range of the bow and arrow, in order to use the rain of arrows to break the indomitable momentum of Yanyun's iron cavalry first!
If you wait until the Yanyun cavalry is within range before drawing the bow, it will only enrage the enemy and make them rush to the front of the formation faster.

But if he shoots ahead of time when he is still out of range, Yanyun Iron Cavalry will hesitate. After all, there will be a rain of deadly arrows ahead, and no one will not be afraid and hesitate.

This kind of psychological game, even the rare elite cavalry like Yanyun Iron Cavalry will also be recruited. At the moment, the cavalry rushing to the front subconsciously pulled the reins, and the speed of the charge dropped significantly.

The cavalry behind did not know the situation in front, and they were still running very fast. There was already some panic among them. If their riding skills were not excellent, they would have almost caused a large-scale collision.

But even so, the overall charge of the Yanyun Iron Cavalry had been greatly weakened, which made Tian Yu's face turn red, and he had a deep understanding of the calmness and strength of the Yanzhou Army.
