The World of Yellow Sky

"Order the whole army to meet the enemy with a tortoise shell array! Order Cheng Lian to look for an opportunity to break the right cavalry of the Han army first."

"Mobilize 500 Wuhuan Tuqi to support the right army, and go out with the Xiaoqi battalion."

"Bai forgive you to lead a thousand bows and crossbows, rush to help the front army, and shoot the horns for me!"

……

At this time, countless large shields stood up in the army formation, halberds protruded from the gaps, and the archers phalanx quickly assembled behind the infantry phalanx, and the entire formation wrapped itself like a giant tortoise.

The black soldiers of the Han army rushed forward slowly like a river.

The distance between the two armies is rapidly shortening, and they are rapidly approaching...two miles...one mile...half a mile...

"Ugh——"

A high-pitched and passionate horn sounded suddenly in the formation of the Han army, and just after the sound of the horn, thousands of soldiers of the Han army rushed forward like a flood that broke the embankment. surge forward.

"Archers raise their bows and prepare to throw!!!"

Holding the Yanling Saber in his hand, Bai Rao shouted angrily.

"call out--"

A strange wooden whistle sounded. This is a wooden whistle specially made by the Yellow Turban Army for long-range troops such as bow soldiers, in order to distinguish it from the whistle of ordinary infantry.

"Tiger!"

A thousand archers of the Yellow Turban Army roared in unison when they heard the whistle, pulled out their arrows together, and put them on their longbows.

"call out--"

The whistle didn't make the archers of the Yellow Turban Army wait any longer. Just when most of them drew their longbows, the whistle sounded.

Thousands of feathered arrows flew out almost simultaneously, and a large number of feathered arrows were stimulated. A rain of arrows like locusts swept up from the phalanx of archers of the Yellow Turban Army, towards the front line of the Han army that was charging. He shot away fiercely.

"Ugh——"

"Raise your shield!"

The horn sounded in the formation of the Han army, and countless generals shouted at the same time, reminding the soldiers in the front row to raise their shields, and they knew that they had stepped into the range of the archers of the Yellow Turban Army.

Numerous soldiers of the Han army raised their large shields and walked forward slowly. Arrows rained like locusts one after another. The sound of starting and howling sounded from the formation of the Han army, and the momentum of the Han army's charge was stopped.

But still no one stopped. They all knew that staying in place would only become a live target for bows and crossbows, and only by stepping forward and breaking through the formation of the Yellow Turban Army could they survive.

"Whoever can win Xu An's head will be made Marquis of Qianhu!"

Han Meng looked fierce and shouted angrily.

The two armies were separated by forty steps, and the archers of the Han army's front formation finally entered the range. The well-trained Han army archers immediately opened their bows and released arrows. From time to time, someone fell down.

The two armies were separated by [-] steps, at this moment Xu An's big flag on the pole-cart suddenly waved, the Yellow Turbans marched forward, and the sound of war drums suddenly became excited.

"Hoo----" "Hoo----"

Before the golden stage, sharp wooden whistles sounded one after another.

Leading the personal guards to charge at the front, Han Meng's eyes sharpened. He saw a gap in the shield formation of the Yellow Turban Army. The army's army array projectile.

At this time, why would the shield soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army deliberately let go of the gap? Isn't this a chance for the Han army's archers to kill?

"Lay the shield flat, top the shield!"

Han Meng stopped in his tracks, and shouted sharply, years of experience made him something very wrong.

The guards beside him immediately put down their shields when they heard Han Meng's order, and surrounded Han Meng.

And more county soldiers of the Han army continued to rush forward.

"call out----"

At this moment, behind the shield formation of the Yellow Turban Army, a large number of crossbow arrows were fired and shot forward. Countless people were on the way to charge, holding their shields, defending against the sudden attack of the Han army throwing feather arrows overhead. fell to the ground.

The wailing sounded one after another in the formation of the Han army, and the two guards in front of Han Meng were also knocked to the ground by the crossbow arrows. At such a short distance, the penetrating power of the strong crossbow is no joke.

"How brave!"

Han Meng yelled angrily, if he relaxed a little, the Yellow Turban Army's arrow rain might have shot him into a hedgehog.

"Rush forward, the first to break the formation will be rewarded with a hundred gold and promoted to three levels!"

At the same time as Han Meng shouted, the sound of loud drums suddenly sounded in the formation of the Han army.

"mighty!!"

The generals of the Han army raised their weapons high, shouting at the top of their lungs.

"Mighty!!!" Hundreds of soldiers of the Han army shouted in unison and charged towards the formation of the Yellow Turban Army, and the fiery red straight line turned into a curved line in an instant.

The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army lined up behind the fence, about two or three meters away, and the spears in the hands of the soldiers in the front just hit the fence.

And the fence was deeply pierced into the ground by the Yellow Turban Army, probably reaching the chest and abdomen of ordinary people.

The soldiers of the Han army were undoubtedly blocked by the fence. A few brave soldiers wanted to break through the formation, but they managed to climb over the fence with their vigorous skills, but they died soon after. Under the spear in the hands of the soldiers.

However, the fence is just a fence after all, not a camp wall, and the fences and obstacles set up by the Han army against the Yellow Turban Army have long been prepared.

The fences in some places were smashed by the turbulent crowd, and the warriors of the Han army who carried the bumper rushed up and easily broke the wooden fence in front of them.

In a blink of an eye, the fiery red wave collided with the Yellow Turban Army's phalanx, and huge waves rose in response.

……

"What a Han Meng!"

Xu An's complexion changed slightly. Han Meng is worthy of being a famous general in history. It was only the first wave of shock. The soldiers under his command were not forbidden soldiers, but just ordinary county soldiers, but Xu An's men were well-trained and well-equipped. The Yellow Turban Army's pawn formations all felt strenuous, and gaps were even opened in several military formations.

And Jiao Chu on the other side was not to be outdone, not wanting to fall behind Han Meng, and the Yellow Turban Army soldiers on the other side were also fiercely attacked by the Han army.

Although the soldiers under Han Meng and Jiao Chu's command were county soldiers, they were trained by themselves, and they were not comparable to those with loose armaments.

However, even if they were stronger than ordinary county soldiers, and there were two generals Han Meng and Jiao Chu in command, they could only put some pressure on the Yellow Turban Army's pawn formation, and they would not be broken and defeated.

You know, even if you are as brave as Sun Jian, there is no way you can break through the Yellow Turban Army's pawn formation with your own strength.

Chapter 391 The Battle of Zhangshui ([-])

What Xu An really cared about was that it wasn't Han Meng and Jiao Touch, the soldiers under their command were just the first wave of the Han army's offensive.

Behind them, followed by Jiang Qi and Zhang Nan's sharp soldiers of the Han army, as well as the Xiyuan imperial army who have not yet attacked.

The combat effectiveness of the Xiyuan Forbidden Army is unquestionable. The middle and lower rank officers and even ordinary soldiers of the Xiyuan Forbidden Army are all selected from the elite of the army from all over the country, and equipped with strong armor and sharp blades to form an army.

It can even be called the most powerful army in the entire world today, especially the upper barracks with the best equipment and soldiers. Xu An has only the yellow angels and the trapped camp, and he may be able to compete with him.

It had been more than half an hour since the battle, and Xu An's face was no longer calm, and he looked a little gloomy. He was no longer sitting on the beard chair, but was standing next to the watchtower.

Xu An carefully observed the movement of the Han army with a binoculars.

Those who are in the situation of soldiers, thunder and wind move, come later and come first, clutch and back, changeable, and use light to control the enemy.

And Lu Zhi is the master of the four styles of military strategists.

Lu Zhi's use of tactics has almost reached the point of perfection, without a telescope to observe the details, but Lu Zhi still has an extremely terrifying grasp of the situation.

Although the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were well-trained, under Lu Zhi's command, the Han Army still gained the advantage little by little.

The refusal horses, roadblocks and fences on the periphery of the Yellow Turban Army's position have basically been cleaned up by the Han army.

Chen Shiqi quarter (8.45 am).

Under the leadership of Gong Du and Zhou Cang, the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army repelled the Han army's offensive again.

Just before that, Lu Zhi invested some of the sharp soldiers of the Han army in the formation. Even though Xu An had already discovered it and sent troops to help, the sharp soldiers of the Han army still broke through several formations of the Yellow Turban soldiers in succession.

Although the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army are well-trained and well-armed, compared with the sharp soldiers of the Han Army, there is still a certain gap.

After all, the contrasting arms of the sharp soldiers of the Han army were the yellow angels of the Yellow Turban Army.

The elite soldiers of the Han army were all tall and brave men who could wear heavy armor, which covered almost all important parts of their bodies. Ordinary knives and guns could not even break through their armor.

In the seventh year of Guanghe, the appearance of the sharp soldiers of the Han army represented death and fear. No matter how hard the ordinary soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army fought, it was difficult to defeat these well-trained, martial arts, and heavy-duty soldiers. Armor, a sharp soldier of the Han army with a sharp blade.

Only the yellow angels who also wear the iron armor captured from the Han army, who are not afraid of death, and use their lives for their lives, can barely block the attack of the Han army's sharp fighters.

Of course, the current yellow angels under Xu An are definitely more powerful than the yellow angels under Guanghe Qinian Zhang Jiao. The current yellow angels are wearing two layers of armor, one layer of iron armor and one layer of leather. A, in terms of training, the drills of the military array have also surpassed the sharp soldiers of the Han army.

Basically, the yellow angels practice five times a day, leaving two days of rest and preparation time every seven days, and the rest of the time is spent in hard training.

The blessing of belief brings almost infinite power to people. They are not afraid of death. As long as the belief in their hearts does not collapse, they will not know what is fear and what is fear.

During the battle of Guangzong, the yellow angels had already proved their piety. More than two thousand yellow angels fought to the last person in order to give the retreating army some points, and none of them surrendered.

The current Yellow Angels, Wan Quan, can fight against the most elite upper barracks under Lu Zhi's command. Although their weapons may be lacking, their fighting will is far stronger than the upper barracks of the Xiyuan Forbidden Army.

No matter how brave and well-trained the soldiers in the barracks are, they are still the army of the feudal era in the final analysis. They are loyal to the emperor, but they will also have fear and fear in the fight.

This is the difference between them and the Yellow Angels, and it is also the point that determines the upper limit of their combat power.

Xu An had a panoramic view of the situation on the battlefield. After all, there were not many sharp soldiers in the Han army. Lu Zhi led the main force of the Han army in Jizhou with a total of 3000 county soldiers. The threat of Jizhou expanded its army, but the Jizhou army only had more than [-] sharp soldiers.

Since the fierce battle, the front formation of the Yellow Turban Army has been completely entangled with the front formation of the Han Army. Under the impact of the Han Army, the original solid position of the Yellow Turban Army has become criss-crossed.

Combat in the plains is not as complicated as in the mountains, and it is not as complicated as the hilly areas. It pays attention to tactics and strategic layout.

There was really nothing fancy about the two sides fighting, sword against sword, gun against gun, army against army, and the intensity of the fighting was far higher than that of other terrain battles.

What we are looking at now is only the commanding ability of the generals of the two armies, as well as the combat power of the soldiers. Whoever has the most outstanding commanding ability, the most elite soldiers under his command, and the bravest general will be able to gain an advantage.

Xu An glanced at Lu Zhi's position again. More than [-] Xiyuan Forbidden Army remained standing still, and only [-] soldiers from Jizhou County were engaged in the battle.

The Xiaoqi Battalion led by Cheng Lian, Wei Yue, Hao Meng, and Cao Xing had no way to expand its advantage. Lu Zhi arranged thousands of crossbowmen on the two wings to cooperate with the cavalry, just like a hedgehog, making Xiaoqi Battalion helpless start.

The shooting range of the cavalry bow is much lower than that of the infantry bow, and if elite cavalry is used to shoot against infantry archers, even if the Yellow Turban Army has a lot of cavalry, the consumption is unbearable.

Lu Zhi's location was about a mile away. Xu An thought for a while, but made up his mind.

Compared with the Han army led by Lu Zhi, Xu An's Yellow Turban Army is actually at a disadvantage. Although Xu Anzang has a backup, he still needs to expand his advantage as much as possible.

As the Yellow Turban Army marched forward, a turquoise flag was slowly raised on Xu An's telescoping cart.

"Green flag!"

The orderly who had been watching the movements on the pole-cart, when he saw the turquoise flag, immediately turned around and shouted to Gong Du who was directing the march of the soldiers battalion.

Gong Du had just retreated from the battle formation with his personal guards just now, and the assault of the sharp soldiers of the Han army was repulsed. Gong Du, who had fought for a long time, naturally felt a little exhausted.

Hearing the call of the messenger behind him, Gong couldn't help but tremble, and suddenly turned his head to look at the lookout cart.

……

"Go, go, kill"

Zhang Nan held up the long pole and broadsword, pointing at the front like an angry bear and roaring angrily.

At this time, Zhang Nan's armor was pierced with several feathered arrows, and there were several marks of knives, slashes and guns on it. The armor was covered with blood, which looked extremely hideous.

"Shh! Shh!"

Several whistling sounds pierced the air, and seven or eight throwing hatchets were suddenly thrown out by the guards beside Zhang Nan. Almost at the same time, the infantry archers of the Han army also poured out their arrows out.

The screams came from the formation of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, and the original strict formation of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army was also destroyed.

"kill!!"

Zhang Nanhu roared, separated the two incoming long spears, and at the same time, the long knife in front of him quickly slashed forward. Right in front of him, two soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who couldn't dodge were cut by him immediately. fell on the ground.

The formation of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army was already in chaos because of Zhang Nan's intrusion. Behind Zhang Nan, two guards in heavy armor, one on the left and one on the right, also rushed into the formation holding a ring-sword Among them, the gap in the Yellow Turban Army's military formation was opened even larger.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The fiery red banners waved, and the passionate marching drums sounded.

"kill!!!"

The sharp soldiers of the Han army roared, waving their weapons and rushing up from the gap opened by Zhang Nan!

……

Lu Zhi put his hands on the armrests of the watch bucket, and he saw that Zhang Nan led the sharp soldiers and broke through the three formations of the Yellow Turban soldiers in a row.

It's just that Zhang Nan's advance didn't make Lu Zhi feel a little bit of joy. Zhang Nan was in the middle of a fierce battle, and he might not have seen it too clearly, but Lu Zhi could see it very clearly when he was on the pole.

A messenger holding a command flag drove the dismounted horse to gallop towards Zhang Nan's position in the front line. The order he carried was exactly the order for Zhang Nan not to continue marching.

Except for Zhang Nan's trilogy, the rest of the ministries were still in fierce battle, and only Zhang Nan's trilogy broke into the formation of the Yellow Turban Army's soldiers.
