The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Guan Yu didn't dare to transfer all the people away.

What's more, it was originally for setting up an ambush, and if setting up an ambush, you don't need too many soldiers and horses.

There are too many people, but it is easy to be exposed.

Therefore, 2 horses were ambushed outside the city, and when the enemy approached, they could fight out from the left and right, and directly ambushed those who came to Wancheng to support them.

Although Huang Gai was cautious, he couldn't stand that he was a vanguard and had the duty to inquire about news, so the [-] vanguards he led directly approached Wancheng.

But he hadn't gone far, when he came out of a woodland, there were already many enemy troops waiting for him on both sides of the woodland.

Chapter 1000 Two hundred 51 Ambush

Seeing the enemy, Huang Gai's face darkened.

After a quick glance, there are more than [-] people on both sides.

Under Huang Gai's command, there are only five thousand soldiers and horses.

Although these people were all the elite of Sun Jian's subordinates, with such a small number of people, they had to deal with an enemy several times his own, and Huang Gai was still a little powerless.

"Arrangement!"

Although he was worried, Huang Gai was a veteran and would not be afraid of such things.

His age, close to forty, is at the peak of a person, and he also wants to gain some military exploits and stand out from Liu Zheng's command.

Now Huang Gai is just a colonel, eager to be promoted to major general in World War I.

Under Huang Gai's words, the battle formation was quickly set up.

The five thousand soldiers and horses were divided into fifty small teams, each fighting on its own.

Previously, the troops under Liu Zheng's command were divided into teams.

A team of ten people, ten teams in groups.

A group of soldiers and horses is 100 people.

100 people are a unit, arrange a battle formation, and wait for the opponent's initiative to attack.

Although there was an ambush, Huang Gai had expected this kind of ambush a long time ago, so he was not too scared at the first moment.

On the contrary, Guan Yu's troops stationed here, although they had already set up an ambush here, because they had no experience in ambush before.

Coupled with the large number of people, it was actually not a particularly secret ambush, just waiting for the appearance of people like Huang Gai.

When Huang Gai's men really appeared, Tian Yu, the general in charge, reacted and ordered his men to attack Huang Gai.

The [-] army immediately began to run out, planning to surround Huang Gai and the others first, and then wipe out the surrounding enemies.

Huang Gai was not afraid either, and ignored the enemies who were encircling afterward, but immediately let his men and horses set up three layers of defense on the inside and three layers on the outside.

They were the vanguard and could not retreat, but he still quickly let the soldiers in the rear rush to the rear to send news to the main force of the army.

Huang Gai's task is to hold on, as long as the main force in the rear reaches here, they have nothing to be afraid of.

Anyway, the main forces of Sun Jian and Tai Shici in the rear are not too far away from the vanguard like him.

It didn't take long, in less than half an hour, Huang Gai could wait for reinforcements.

And beside him, with 5000 troops, they held on for less than half an hour. Huang Gai thought that there was no problem.

The battle begins.

Tian Yu quickly ordered the shooters under his command to shoot a round first.

Kill the spirit of these enemies.

Among the [-] ambush soldiers, not all were melee soldiers, and some were shooters. After all, the role of shooters was very important.

They can deal heavy blows from a distance, demoralizing enemy troops.

It can cause the enemy to cause casualties in a short period of time, thereby affecting the fighting spirit of the entire soldier army.

Three or four thousand archers immediately fired arrows after Tian Yu gave an order.

He quickly rushed to the sky and fell into the battle formation of Huang Gai and his men.

In the blink of an eye, there were some screams, and a few unlucky soldiers were directly shot to death, but most of those hit by arrows were only slightly injured.

Even more, they were blocked by sword and shield hands holding wooden shields.

These sword and shield players are all equipped with a wooden shield. Although the defensive power of the wooden shield is not particularly large, it can still weaken some arrows falling from the sky.

The power of the arrow, even if it can break through the wooden shield, cannot hurt the soldiers holding the wooden shield.

The first round of arrow shooting did not cause too much damage to Huang Gai's army, but only lost a few soldiers. These troops were nothing compared to a huge team of 5000 people.

But Huang Gai didn't let out a sigh of relief because this was just an appetizer before the start of the war.

The real battle will come soon.

The shooters under Tian Yu only fired two rounds.

After that, I didn't continue to do it.

This is not true, their archers only have arrows for two shots.

It was because when they fired for the third time, their infantry had already reached the front of Huang Gai's soldiers and horses. If they continued to shoot, it would be easy to cause damage to their own soldiers.

For the safety of his own soldiers, he did not continue to order shooting.

However, the same tens of thousands of infantry surrounded them, and there was no need for these shooters to continue to cause damage to Huang Gai's troops.

These pawns are enough to deal with people like Huang Gai.

The soldiers and horses of the two sides joined together at this time, and a fierce battle broke out immediately.

Huang Gai did not personally go to the front of the battlefield to fight the enemy.

Because at this time there is no need for him to play in person.

He only needs to be responsible for leading his own troops to land and prevent the enemy from attacking.

If he also went to the front to fight the enemy, then there would be no one to command the troops, and the defeat would be even faster.

With enough tacit cooperation in the battle formation, Huang Gai's men are also very active in training, so the combat power they display is much stronger than these soldiers under Tian Yu.

You can see it just by touching it.

Each of Huang Gai's soldiers had to deal with two or three people.

But it didn't lose quickly in the siege of these people.

Most of Tian Yu's soldiers are spearmen.

This is the standard configuration of the Han army.

Because the spearman's combat power on the battlefield is far stronger than that of the sword and shield hand.

After all, weapons are one inch long and one inch strong. Pikemen can restrain not only short weapons but also horses.

Increase enemy casualties.

Of course, the most important thing is that the weapons of pikemen are far easier to make than swords.

However, when these spearmen faced the battle formation under Liu Zheng's command, their combat power was not too strong.

Firstly, the troops under Liu Zheng's command completed the cooperation in the war early.

In the war, there are not only sword and shield players, but also spearmen and shooters.

If facing the pikemen alone, those sword and shield players block forward, and the skills and pikemen behind them are enough to cause damage to the enemy in the gap.

Such a battle is difficult to tell the winner in a short time.

As long as Huang Gai commanded the soldiers to check for leaks and make up for the gaps, once there was a gap that was broken through, immediately mobilize the troops from the rear to make up for it, and the enemy's attack could be blocked.

In this way, the battle did not tell the winner for a while, but it was stalemate, and half an hour passed quickly.

In half a time, Huang Gai's soldiers only killed or injured less than 2000 people.

On the contrary, those attacking enemy troops had more casualties than Huang Gai's men.

The number of people killed in battle at this moment definitely exceeded 3000.

Chapter 1000 two hundred 52 confrontation

This annoyed Tian Yu, who was in command of the troops.

"Why are these people so difficult?"

Tian Yu can also be regarded as a seasoned veteran, but he followed Liu Bei's uprising. He has known Liu Bei since the Yellow Turban Rebellion ten years ago.

Although he had always been under Gongsun Zan's command before.

It can be regarded as a military horse for many years.

This time they attacked Huang Gai, they were still in ambush, it was an ambush, they should have defeated Huang Gai quickly, but now, half an hour later, they still failed to kill all Huang Gai's soldiers and horses.

Although Tian Yu didn't think that Huang Gai's troops could cause much trouble, and the time delay would only be a toss for a while, but seeing how difficult Huang Gai's soldiers and horses were, Tian Yu had to think about the training of Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses. I got a little curious.

In this era, Liu Zheng's model of training soldiers and horses has already been passed down to Liu Bei's subordinates.

But other people couldn't imitate Liu Zheng's way of training soldiers and horses.

It's not that the quality of their soldiers and horses is not as high as that of Liu Zheng's.

It's because Liu Zheng really paid for his subordinates, and these soldiers distributed military salaries.

In addition, the three meals a day are guaranteed to be very rich, enough to raise all the soldiers under his command to be healthy and healthy.

Coupled with high-intensity training, these people's physical fitness will naturally improve, and their combat power will become more brave when they serve as soldiers.

And the money needed to achieve such an effect is not a small amount.

Liu Zheng has enough money for him to squander, but Liu Bei and others have nothing to do.

For one thing, they are not the rulers of the country.Second, they don't have enough money to allow them to vigorously distribute military salaries.

With this money, it is better to recruit more soldiers and horses to win by numbers.

This is why Liu Zheng has developed for so many years, but still only has these troops, because it adopts the elite soldier system, and there are not many people under it, but all of them are elite troops.

As for the other troops, they recruited tens of thousands of troops at every turn, so the combat power of their soldiers and horses was not considered strong, but the quantity had indeed been maintained at this stage.

Just like today, Huang Gai's mere 5000 soldiers and horses can block the 2 troops sent by Tian Yu.

As the battle continued, the soldiers and horses under Huang Gai's command were seriously injured, and Tian Yu's worries gradually lessened.

Plus this time.

Guan Yu led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to gradually arrive here.

Although Guan Yu's men are not many, but Guan Yu's men are the real elite.

With Guan Yu's soldiers and horses in charge, Huang Gai's mere manpower can't make any big waves.

Falling down over time.

Huang Gai's face also began to look sad.

It stands to reason that at this time his men are running out.

The reinforcements he was looking forward to, Sun Jian and Tai Shici's headquarters should have arrived.

But after waiting for so long, I still haven't seen it.

More than half of the soldiers and horses under him were dead or injured, so if he waited any longer, he might not be able to wait.

There were 5000 people before, and it was no problem to persist for so long, but as the number of soldiers and horses decreased, the time he persisted became less and less.

With this amount of manpower, it may not be possible to persist for a stick of incense.

If a stick of incense, time.I haven't seen my reinforcements yet.

Huang Gai may be about to die in battle.

Fortunately, Huang Gai's expectations did not fail.

After receiving Huang Gai's news, the main force following Huang Gai immediately stepped up and quickly approached Huang Gai.

But because of the sufficient distance maintained before.
