Chapter 393 Take It Easy

If an army has followed a general for a long time, and subtly accepts the general's command style in its heart, then it will naturally be able to reach the level where the general commands the soldiers like his arms and fingers.

Why was the army of the Song Dynasty weak and repeatedly defeated by Liao, Jin and Mongolia? The lack of war horses is certainly an important reason, but the most important reason is the separation of the Song Dynasty's military command and troop control.

An army, originally trained by Zhang San, was commanded by Li Si during the battle. They were completely unaware of Li Si's command method, and they would not know how to win the battle.

And the more soldiers you command, the harder it is for orders to reach the grassroots. One person can only lead a few hundred people, and everyone can hear a shout, which is naturally convenient for commanding, but once commanding tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands Not to mention being able to make the army operate freely in accordance with military orders, let alone using his arms and fingers, he can be called a famous general.

Therefore, Liu Bang's army of 560,000 was defeated by Xiang Yu's 30,000 cavalry in the first battle, while Wang Jian led an army of 600,000 to flatten Chu.

Under the threat of 6,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, it was inevitable that Zhou Su's 30,000 army would run into flaws.

As the Xiliang iron cavalry wandered around the periphery, the yellow turban thieves didn't pay attention to their feet when they turned around. Suddenly, dozens of yellow turban thieves in the southeast corner fell to the ground, and the surrounding yellow turban thieves were also thrown by the fallen yellow turban thieves. When he stumbled, a flaw suddenly appeared among the more than 20,000 yellow scarf thieves.

Pound's eyes lit up.

"Xiliang cavalry, charge!"

Three thousand Xiliang iron cavalry followed closely behind Pound and charged suddenly. Even pawns could charge in ten seconds at a distance of one hundred steps. For Xiliang iron cavalry, it was almost an instant. rushed up.

kill!

The high-raised saber shone brightly, and fell down like a forest of swords and swords. With the help of the unity of man and horse, the saber easily tore through the armor of the yellow scarf thief, splashing a splash of blood.

Three thousand Xiliang iron cavalry slammed into the Yellow Turban bandits, like a rampaging bison breaking into it, knocking the Yellow Turban bandits off their feet.

"Okay! The whole army obeys the order and rush in to support the brothers."

Ma Chao saw that Pang De was the first to go in, unwilling to be left behind, he shouted, and the three thousand Xiliang cavalry behind him roared like a stream, and Jing Cong followed, also abruptly from the Yellow Turban army formation. crashed into it.

Two Xiliang cavalrymen cut into the Yellow Turban bandit formation like two war knives, charging wantonly. The incomparable impact force of the Xiliang cavalry easily pierced through the Yellow Turban bandit formation, charging back and forth, The yellow turban bandits suffered heavy casualties.

"Come to me!"

Zhou Su was furious and out of breath.

Xu He saw two Xiliang cavalry from a distance making up for the clouds and rain among Zhou Su's troops, and immediately became furious: "Beat the drums! The whole army attacks, and the enemy's cavalry must not be spared."

Boom boom boom!

Hundreds of war drums were sounded at the same time. Xu He had a total of 130,000 troops. Naturally, the number of war drums was also very large. Hundreds of war drums were sounded at the same time, like the roar of giant beasts, and the vibrations were like thunder. rolling.

The yellow turban thieves who were attacking the city suddenly stopped attacking the city, and jumped down from the ladder one after another, and gathered towards the 6,000 Xiliang iron cavalry. In a short time, nearly 100,000 yellow turban thieves gathered from all directions, forming a formation. A huge flow of people gathered together as if the situation was changing, and they wanted to completely crush the Xiliang iron cavalry.

"Lingming! The enemy army is gathering, you should lead the troops to withdraw quickly, I will cut off the rear myself." Ma Chao shouted at Pound.

Pang De raised his spear, killed a yellow scarf thief, and shouted: "Okay, Meng Qi, don't kill too hard, retreat as soon as possible."

"good!"

Pang De waved his spear, pulled out from the formation of the Yellow Turban bandits, and greeted, most of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry got out of the enemy's encirclement one after another relying on the high-speed mobility.

On the other hand, Ma Chao led more than a thousand iron cavalry, instead of advancing, they retreated, and the iron cavalry pointed directly at Zhou Su.

Ma Chao fought bloody battles, the armor on his body had long been stained red with blood, and he couldn't tell whether it was his own blood or the blood of the enemy army all over his body. He gritted his teeth and urged his horse forward. Unlimited, pointing directly at Zhou Su.

"Thief general, take your life!"

Ma Chao brandished the golden spear in his hand, swept away the thousands of troops, forced a bloody path out of the thousands of troops, and killed Zhou Su with all his heart.

"Son of the Ma family, I'm afraid you won't succeed?"

Zhou Su was also a mighty general under Xu He's command. Except for Sima Fear, he was invincible, so he held the ring sword in his hand and yelled at him.

"Look at the gun!"

The tiger-headed Zhan golden gun tore through the air, and in Zhou Su's eyes, it became bigger and bigger. This gun seemed to have locked all of Zhou Su's aura, making it unstoppable.

Zhou Su froze for a moment, and swung the saber with all his strength, the saber just hit the front of the gun, causing the tiger-headed Zhan golden spear to deflect slightly, while the ring-headed saber shot up into the sky with a clang.

The tiger-headed Zhan golden spear pierced Zhou Su's shoulder. Zhou Su turned over and fell off the horse in pain, and hid among the yellow scarf thieves with great pain.

Ma Chao frowned, and wanted to catch up and kill Zhou Su, but saw the yellow scarf thieves vaguely encircling his army, so he had no choice but to give up.

"Damn it!" Ma Chao snorted and shouted, "The whole army retreats, don't love to fight."

When more than a thousand Xiliang iron cavalry heard Ma Chao's order, they did not love to fight, but ordered to prohibit them. Relying on the maneuverability of their war horses, they broke out from the gap surrounded by the yellow turban thieves. When he came out, he was besieged by the Yellow Turban bandits and died in the rebellion.

The good siege plan was disturbed by this batch of damn Xiliang iron cavalry, Xu He was furious: "The whole army pursues, and the Liangzhou cavalry must not be let go!"

As soon as Xu He ordered, more than a hundred thousand yellow scarf thieves would naturally obey, and chased the Xiliang iron cavalry one after another, but how could two legs catch up with four?

More than 5,000 Xiliang cavalry walked away calmly, leaving only the backs and horse buttocks of the yellow turban thieves.

Seeing this scene, the Han army on the top of the city laughed and cheered.

Liu Ye smiled: "Meng Qi is worthy of being a general, and he has already obtained the essence of leading cavalry in battle."

Jia Xu clasped his hands and said, "General, let's order the soldiers to move the wounded soldiers and tidy up the city walls."

Liu Ye nodded: "Okay, order the defenders to organize their battle preparations and take the time to rest. But I don't think the enemy will attack the city today."

Jia Xu also nodded in agreement, and received Liu Ye's order, the Han army in Suanzao City seized the time to repair, moved the injured soldiers to the top of the city to heal their injuries, and at the same time repaired the city defense, moved the defense materials, and guarded against the yellow scarves. next attack.
