The Rhapsody of Mounted Blade Players

However, after Jian Yong came over and told Liu Bei what he thought, Liu Bei persuaded the counselor who had just joined his army to calm down. They would never lose this battle.

Just as Liu Bei and Jian Yong were talking, Hao DaDa led an army and appeared in Huang Zhong's sight.

Seeing the enemy's appearance, Huang Zhong immediately ordered his soldiers to stop advancing and then begin to form formation.

As Hao DaDaDou looked at the well-equipped rebel army in front of him, he began to have some bad feelings. After all, even the imperial officers and soldiers he had encountered before did not have such elite equipment!

However, although he was a little unsure, Hao Daudao did not show it. Instead, he pretended to be nonchalant and directly ordered his recruits to attack.

This is also his usual practice in fighting. Let the newly joined Yellow Turban soldiers fight the first battle. Most of these newcomers have relatives in the army as hostages, and they dare not disobey orders.

After these new recruits have exhausted the enemy's physical strength and arrows, he will send in veterans who have fought several battles.

If the opponent is overwhelmed by the impact of those veterans, Hao Daudao will seize the opportunity and let his four thousand elite troops come forward to completely defeat the enemy.

He had defeated many opponents with this move before, so he didn't plan to change his style of play this time.

As a result, more than five thousand new soldiers who had just joined the Yellow Turban Army were soon sent to the battlefield. Li Daniu was one of them. He was carrying a sharpened stick in his hand and his clothes were in tatters. , a typical refugee image, but because he was relatively tall, he was incorporated into the combat troops by Hao DaDa, and became the first cannon fodder to go into battle in this battle.

Li Daniu naturally knew that these new recruits who did not even have a decent weapon in their hands were cannon fodder, but he did not dare to run because his wife and child less than three years old were also abducted into the Yellow Turban Army. , was assigned to the logistics force, and was usually responsible for helping with cooking, picking up materials, and building camps. Although he was a little tired, at least his life was not in danger.

However, if he, Li Daniu, dared to become a deserter, his wife and son would definitely not end well. So this time, he knew that the outcome of these cannon fodders going to war would be disastrous, but he did not dare to escape secretly, and could only follow the group at the front. A small leader of the Yellow Turban Army bravely charged together.

But just after they rushed out hundreds of meters away, loud noises suddenly came from the enemy troops on the opposite side who were still thousands of meters away from them, followed by waves of roars, Li Daniu Then he watched helplessly as many of his companions around him were blown into pieces by the sudden explosion.

"No, those enemies know magic!" Li Daniu, who had never seen artillery before, couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw this.

In fact, not to mention him, even the small leader of the Yellow Turban Army not far in front of him who was originally leading the charge was frightened by the scene in front of him.

Huang Zhong and the others didn't care whether these Yellow Turban thieves were scared out of their wits. The ten [-]mm field guns in the team were still firing high-explosive bombs, killing and injuring those in the distance in large swaths. Yellow Turban Thief.

After only two rounds of shelling, the Yellow Turban recruits, who had already killed hundreds of people, could no longer withstand it, and retreated towards the rear, crying and howling with fear on their faces.

If it were in the past, the first batch of cannon fodder sent up retreated so quickly, Hao Dadan would have had to kill dozens of Li Liwei who took the lead in escaping. But this time, having witnessed the whole process from behind, he also knew that it was no wonder that the new recruits under his command were not up to par. It was really because the enemy's magic was so powerful!

That's right, Hao Budao also regarded the shells fired by the artillery as some kind of powerful sorcery. It's no wonder that he guessed so. After all, Zhang Jiao, who claimed to be General Tiangong, was said to have mastered many powerful sorceries. Of course, in the Yellow Turban Army's own propaganda, it was the magic that their Tiangong general learned from the immortals.

It is precisely because the Yellow Turban Army itself is promoting these mysterious things, so now Hao Dadao, a half-way monk of the Yellow Turban Army Qu Shuai, when he saw this incomprehensible scene in front of him, he naturally regarded it as... witchcraft.

After discovering that this rebel army had mastered such a powerful sorcery, Hao Dadan immediately wanted to retreat. After all, he knew very well how much weight he had. He wanted to bully the new recruits and those who had just been recruited by the imperial court. There is no problem with the rebel armies of local tyrants everywhere, but facing this kind of super-standard opponent who has mastered terrible magic, it is simply a matter of death.

However, in order to allow himself to retreat safely, Hao DaDaNaturally would not directly order the withdrawal of troops. After all, the army had just been defeated for a while. If he directly ordered the withdrawal of troops, the originally good retreat might turn into a big rout. After all, he had a large number of troops. Some of them are just civilians who have just been brought in. They have never received any decent military training, so it is impossible to expect these guys to have any military qualities. They usually fight smoothly, but once they encounter such a defeat, they will quickly lose their shape. Bilu.

So after thinking for a while, Hao boldly ordered to mix the recruits who had just retreated with his approximately [-] more capable veterans, and then divided the more than [-] people into two teams, one from the left and one from the left. The two wings launched a pincer attack on the enemy. After these two armies entangled the main force of the enemy, he would lead four thousand elite troops in the army to charge towards the enemy's center, directly killing the enemy commander and breaking through. Remove the opponent's magic.

In addition, the logistics troops retreated first, so that the old and weak would not have time to escape after their own side was defeated.

The number of about [-] old and weak people is indeed a huge drag on this army, but no one will say that these old and weak people should be abandoned, because many of the Yellow Turban Army soldiers have relatives there. Among this logistics force!

At this time, Hao boldly ordered the logistics force to retreat first, which also slightly restored the morale of the soldiers. Later, even if it was to protect their relatives, they would have enough time to retreat to a safe place. These Yellow Turban Army The soldiers will resist for a while longer and will not be defeated so easily.

And just when the logistics troops began to pack up and prepare to retreat, Huang Zhong had already commanded two thousand rebel soldiers to press forward.

Upon seeing this, Hao Daring quickly ordered his men to attack according to the original plan. After he gave the last order, he immediately called a man who was [-]% similar to him in body shape and appearance to continue to stay in the original place as his substitute. The land helped him command the army to attack. And he himself took the original dozens of old brothers, either dressed as women or old men, and quickly blended into the logistics team one by one, preparing to evacuate quietly together.

On the other side, Huang Zhong saw the enemy army hurriedly launched an attack. He calmly asked his soldiers to stop advancing, and then first let the twenty artillery vehicles advancing with the soldiers fire one after another, bombarding those who were attacking. enemy.

Although these small-caliber artillery mounted on artillery carts are far less powerful than field artillery, they have a faster rate of fire, so the damage they cause to enemy soldiers is greater, especially as the enemy soldiers charge more and more. Soon, after those small-caliber artillery started firing shotgun shells, they wiped out a large area.

At this time, the rebel soldiers equipped with flintlock rifles also began to shoot in an orderly manner under the orders of the officers, and the rounds of bullets fired continued to kill the approaching enemy troops.

Finally, when they were still more than thirty meters away from the front of Huang Zhong's rebel formation, the more than [-] Yellow Turban soldiers were defeated.

To be honest, under such intensive firepower, it is already very good for these poorly equipped and poorly trained Yellow Turban soldiers to perform like this. After all, during this charge, these Yellow Turban soldiers were under fire from artillery and rifles. At least more than [-] people were killed in the battle. Such huge casualties may not be able to withstand even the officers and soldiers of the imperial court!

These Yellow Turban soldiers went above and beyond to cover the evacuation of their relatives.

Just when these attacking troops began to collapse, the four thousand elite men under Hao DaDa, who were originally supposed to attack together, actually began to flee under the leadership of the stand-in.

Obviously the stand-in didn't want to die in vain, so after seeing how terrifying the fighting power of this rebel army was, with more than [-] of our own troops rushing forward but not even being able to injure a single enemy, he knew that this battle was impossible to fight at all, so he had better start as soon as possible. Run away!

When Huang Zhong saw that the enemy army began to flee so quickly, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. He thought that he had beaten the enemy too hard and frightened these yellow scarf thieves who had never seen the world!

After being surprised, Huang Zhong decided to lead the only one hundred cavalry in the army to pursue the fleeing enemy troops, especially the elite old thieves among them. If these guys were not annihilated, then as long as a period of time passed, These old thieves will come back again with a group of people under the leadership of the Yellow Turban Army Commander.

Hearing that Huang Zhong said that he wanted to pursue the enemy, Liu, Guan, and Zhang immediately expressed their intention to follow. As for Xu Shu, who had just transferred from a ranger to a military advisor, he had already put on his armor and was ready. The horses were ready and stood beside Huang Zhong, making all preparations for an attack.

So in the end, the infantry of the rebel army could only be handed over to the counselor Jian Yong for command.

Fortunately, there is no danger at this time. Jian Yong only needs to command the troops to follow his own cavalry troops, press up little by little, and try to help capture as many enemy troops as possible. After all, those who fall behind will definitely join. The newly recruited cannon fodder of the Yellow Turban Army does not need to be killed. They only need to be captured and slightly transformed before they can become civilians again.

And Huang Zhong, together with the four generals Xu Shu, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, had already started galloping on horseback, chasing the enemy's elite old thieves.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" In order to avoid accidentally injuring the cannon fodder of the Yellow Turban Army recruits on the road, Huang Zhong was shouting loudly while riding his horse in pursuit.
