Chapter 392 Unparalleled Riding and Shooting

Ma Chao and Pang De led 6,000 Xiliang iron cavalry to disperse the attacking Yellow Turban army. For a while, the pressure on the Han troops defending the city was greatly reduced, but the Yellow Turban attacking force was extremely frustrated.

Xu He saw Xiliang iron cavalry in the middle of the army from a distance, and he couldn't help being very annoyed.

"Zhou Su, you led 30,000 infantry to attack and surrounded and wiped out the enemy cavalry!"

Xu He, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, also had a vicious vision, and he could see the threat of the Xiliang iron cavalry at a glance. The Xiliang iron cavalry remained outside the city as a mobile force, which was quite troublesome for the Yellow Turbans to attack the city. It can be said that as long as this Xiliang iron cavalry can be eliminated, even if it is two for one, it will definitely not suffer.

"promise!"

Zhou Su pulled out the ring-shou knife and shouted: "Follow me."

Beside Xu He, the 30,000 Yellow Turban infantry who hadn't been dispatched immediately followed Zhou Sushuaiqi and marched forward quickly.

The 30,000 pawns are really extraordinary. They spread their wings like wild geese, and quickly encircled the 6,000 Xiliang iron cavalry with a strong force. Liang Tieqi was completely smashed.

Seeing this, Ma Chao turned around and shouted: "The whole army retreats, draw the bow and string it!"

The six thousand Xiliang iron cavalry heard Ma Chao's order and retreated immediately, but instead of fighting the enemy, they retreated. Xiliang iron cavalry all had four legs, so the retreat speed was naturally fast, and the iron cavalry flew backward like a gust of wind.

Zhou Su frowned, if these Xiliang iron cavalry fought with him with real swords and guns, the 30,000 army would not be able to do anything to them.

"Damn it! Brazen Xiliang thieves, if we have the ability, let's fight head-to-head. What kind of skill is hiding?" Zhou Su shouted loudly.

Ma Chao laughed: "Okay, since that's the case, do as you wish."

After finishing speaking, Ma Chao ordered: "The whole army goes forward and fires around!"

"promise!"

The six thousand Xiliang iron cavalry shouted in unison, the shouts were like thunder, and then only the six thousand Xiliang iron cavalry galloped forward, their horseshoes trampled heavily on the ground, smoke and dust billowed everywhere, the power of the iron cavalry's charging was indeed very powerful have to.

Seeing Xiliang cavalry charging head-on, Zhou Su did not dare to underestimate him.

"The sword and shield hand is in front, and the spearman is in the back, forming an array to block the enemy."

The 30,000 yellow turban soldiers immediately lined up when they heard Zhou Su's order, their swords and shields erected their large shields in unison, and the entire row of large shields immediately formed a uniform shield wall.

Behind the shield wall is a row of spearmen, and the yellow turban bandits who have obtained the weapons of the officers and soldiers have also become popular. This large formation is quite deterrent.

However, just as the Xiliang iron cavalry reached a hundred paces away, they suddenly bent their bows and released their arrows.

Riding and shooting!

Whoosh whoosh!

Only 6,000 arrows shot out in volley and fell from the sky, forming a dense rain curtain, covering thousands of yellow scarf thieves.

Search!

The sharp carved feather arrow passed through the gap between the shields, and shot at the wrist of a sword and shield hand with great force, and immediately shot through the wrist. The sword and shield hand turned pale, and said "ah!" The large shield was thrown on the ground, and the other hand held the wrist, and blood overflowed from between the fingers.

He threw the shield on the ground, and the yellow turban thieves behind were unlucky, dense arrows rained down, the screams of the yellow turban thieves continued, and more than a thousand people were killed or injured in an instant.

Zhou Su's face was furious: "Damn it! Archer, where is the archer? Let the arrow go!"

The archers among the yellow turban thieves hastily bent their bows and set up arrows, and thousands of arrows also flew out.

But the six thousand Xiliang iron cavalry shot out with one arrow, and they retreated immediately without greed for merit. Almost all the arrows of the yellow turban archers hit the open space, and the Xiliang iron cavalry who turned and retreated splashed a cloud of smoke and dust.

Although there were a lot of yellow turban archers, they were insufficiently trained and their accuracy was limited. They only had a 60% hit rate when shooting stationary targets, and almost missed when shooting high-speed moving targets. The Xiliang iron cavalry retreated calmly.

Zhou Su was furious, and kept ordering the archers in the army to shoot, but the Xiliang iron cavalry was as cunning as a flexible loach, always wandering around the edge of the coverage of the yellow turban archers, constantly wandering, all of a sudden Arrows, but the Xiliang iron cavalry did not suffer any losses.

"Surround the enemy army, ride and shoot!"

Thousands of yellow turban archers shot continuously, and their shoulders were unavoidable. You must know that even the well-trained elite archers of the Han army can only shoot more than a dozen arrows in a row.

The Xiliang iron cavalry made a comeback, and after reaching a distance of a hundred paces, they opened their bows and shot again, causing more than a thousand casualties, but Zhou Su was helpless.

Under the leadership of Ma Chao, the Xiliang iron cavalry is like a group of agile and agile hungry wolves, while the 30,000 yellow scarf thieves under Zhou Su's command are like a slow-moving scalper. Go up to take a bite, but the scalper's strength gradually weakens.

Six thousand iron cavalry from Xiliang surrounded the thirty thousand yellow turban thieves, from time to time they rushed forward to bite them, one round of arrows killed or injured more than a thousand yellow turban thieves, Zhou Su was furious.

"Damn Xiliang iron cavalry, you have no guts!"

Ma Chao stared at the formation of the Yellow Turban Bandits, and suddenly had an idea in his mind.

"Brother Lingming, although the enemy army is large in scale, the commanding skills of the enemy generals are far inferior. The 30,000 yellow turban thieves can't move freely, and there are often loopholes. You lead 3,000 iron cavalry to divide the troops, and you and I surround the two armies. , the enemy army must be more difficult to operate, when the time comes to find the opportunity to take the opportunity to enter, how about it?"

Pang De quite agreed: "Okay, let these yellow scarf thieves see the majesty of our Xiliang iron cavalry."

After all, Pound roared, and the 6,000 Xiliang iron cavalry split into two, and followed Ma Chao and Pound respectively.

"Damn it! The whole army has set up a circular defense, strictly guarding against death."

Seeing the Xiliang iron cavalry suddenly split up and wander around the formation, Zhou Su felt a headache. However, the mobility of the Xiliang cavalry far exceeded that of the infantry, and they could not directly send troops to pursue them, so they had to order the army to guard against death.

Pound and Ma Chao each led an army to surround them, and the Yellow Turbans naturally had to respond accordingly, but the Yellow Turbans inevitably made mistakes when they moved, and many Yellow Turbans even bumped into each other.

The ancient army did not have modern means of communication, so a system of golden drum flags was derived. Beating the battle drum means attacking, ringing gold means retreating, and flagging is a more complicated set of plans to control the army.

And to judge the command level of a general, it depends on what level he can give orders.
