Chapter 1898 The sky is dead and the yellow sky does not stand
Runan.
Under the clear blue sky under the clear sun, more than 10,000 Yellow Turban soldiers spread out in a huge array. If you look at it from a distance, it seems a bit imposing, but when you get closer, you will see that these Yellow Turban thieves are ragged and even There was not a single decent shirt, and even the yellow scarves tied randomly were mostly gray, black and dirty, just like the flags above their heads, dilapidated and dilapidated.
?Standing on the hillside, Liu Pi looked into the distance. After a long time, he lowered his gaze, turned his head slightly, and looked at his men. They were all dirty and shriveled, with sallow complexions and thin muscles, dirty and long beards and hair, weapons of varying lengths and shorts, and even some dung forks and the like...
"The sky is dead, the yellow sky is about to stand" is like the strong wine brewed in my hometown, spicy but tasty.
??The dream of the Yellow Turban sweeping the world was like a drunken state. When drunk, it was natural to sing and laugh, but after waking up, there was only fatigue and pain.
Liu Pi also wanted to say that his surname was Liu, and he was also the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan, but no one endorsed him, so no one recognized him so far, just like no one recognized the Yellow Turban Thief back then.
Why?
Liu Pi still hasn''t figured it out yet.
Liu Pi and Yuan Shu hooked up for a while, and it was okay at that time. Liu Pi also thought that he was on the right track due to luck, but later he discovered that Yuan Shu actually just wanted to use him. After all, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao fought against each other back then. In the Runan area of ??Nanyang, some people support Yuan Shu, and naturally some people support Yuan Shao. Liu Pi and Gong Du are the swords Yuan Shu uses to deal with those who support Yuan Shao.
?However, the good times did not last long, and Yuan Shu suddenly burst like a colorful bubble, taking with him the hope of clearing Liu Pi''s name and falling into the abyss.
Because the Nanyang area in Runan has been corrupted for a long time, and neither Liu Pi nor Gong Du are good at managing people''s livelihood, in fact, the farming and mulberry economy is very poor. Most of the time, they go to the wilds to collect, fish and hunt. , living a primitive and helpless life.
The result is like this, still can’t escape...
??Only this time, it was not the imperial troops commanded by the great Fu Song of the Han Dynasty, but the subordinates of that hussar general.
“I didn’t expect it...” Gong Du beside him frowned, “We walked around in circles in the mountains, creating a maze, and we were still able to find us... We are really quite capable... What’s that guy’s name?” 』
“What should I call Xu? I’m not sure...” Liu Pi looked at the smoke and dust rising in the distance, and then gritted his teeth and said, “If you catch up, you’ll catch up, and we’ll just have a fight!” Don''t be afraid, there are many of us! After defeating this guy, we will go over the mountain to the south to join Liu Jingsheng..."
"Liu Jingzhou..." Gong Du repeated in a low voice, and then sighed.
Liu Biao has always expressed his intention to surrender to Liu Pi and Gong, but Liu Pi and Gong have never made up their minds. After all, they heard that Liu Biao was old and frail, and if he surrendered, what if Liu Biao fell ill the next year?
Of course, he also considered surrendering to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao seemed to look down upon him and did not send anyone to recruit him to surrender, so Liu Pi and Gongdu delayed it until today.
The smoke is getting closer.
??The Yellow Turban soldiers under the hillside also began to commotion. Some people couldn''t help shouting loudly, and then the queue was shaken and scattered, "Big Han Hussars!" The Hussars'' troops are coming! 』
Liu Pi suddenly shouted angrily: "What a fart!" What happened to Qiusi? It''s not the same as having one head and two hands? Where are the big and small Qushuai? Anyone who makes any more noise will be **** chopped! 』
Gong Du looked at Liu Pi roaring, but sighed in his heart. Back then, the Yellow Turban Warriors were so majestic and majestic under the influence of Heaven and Earth, but now...
?A tall knight in armor first appeared in the field of vision, then stretched out his arm and pointed towards it, as if he was arranging something.
?Behind the tall knight, a flag fluttered and trembled, with a big "Xu" character on it.
??These are the men and horses of the Han hussar general...
??This hussar general swept through the northern Guanzhong like a storm, and then suppressed Li Guo and other ferocious Xiliang soldiers into submission. I heard that he even defeated Yuan Shao and suppressed Cao Cao so much that he did not dare to move...
??If ordinary Yellow Turban soldiers can surrender to the hussars, they will naturally have a better future, but for Liu Pi and Gong Du, it is indeed a dead end.
I heard that when the Han Hussars were still marching to the north, they killed all the leaders of the Baibo Army who surrendered, and later exiled all the leaders of the Black Mountain Army...
Before Gong Du could think any more, Liu Pi on the side had already drawn his sword, raised it high and shouted: "Don''t be afraid, no matter how strong the horse is, they are still human beings!" This guy despises our army, so he brought two thousand men and horses, and we have twenty thousand! We are ten times better than them! ten times! Do you understand? These guys gave us their heads! Cheer up, everyone! It’s scary to have a fart, huh? ! 』
Gong Du took a look and sighed slightly. Liu Pi''s speaking momentum was quite good. If his legs were less shaking, the effect might be better...
『The sky is dead, the yellow sky must stand! 』
Liu Pi didn''t know what Gong Du was thinking behind him, so he let out a heart-rending roar.
Following Liu Pi''s roar, the chaotic war drums sounded, and then gradually merged together. The yellow scarf soldiers in formation also joined in unevenly, and finally gathered into a more uniform roar, "The sky is dead, Huang Tiandang is standing." ! 』
Liu Pi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that success had inspired the remaining weak morale.
??When Xu Huang and Huang Zhong joined forces to attack the Runan area, both Liu Pi and Gong knew that something was wrong and they could not hold on.
Over the years, Nongsang has not recovered, let alone repaired the city wall. The dilapidated city wall is like a bunny girl''s hole-in-the-wall costume. Not only cannot it resist the invasion, but it is more likely to inspire the desire to attack...
So Liu Pi and Gong Du made a plan and simply escaped from the golden cicada, leaving some of the mess to Xu Huang and Huang Zhong, and then fled with their relatively strong soldiers. However, things did not develop as Liu Pi and Gong Du expected. , although Huang Zhong stayed in Runan, Xu Huang chased him.
??Just two thousand men and horses, do you want to defeat me?
Liu Pi also felt a kind of anger rising in his heart. This is so disrespectful! But this is fine, no matter how the hussars can get used to fighting, the disadvantage in terms of numbers is real. I just take advantage of this God-given opportunity to win a small victory, which can also improve the morale of my men and save this period of time. The momentum of decadence.
Thinking of this, Liu Pi once again reviewed his lineup and was convinced that his soldiers had prepared the best formation to fight against the hussars.
The entire formation of the Yellow Turban Soldiers relies on the mountain. The front row is three rows of well-trained spearmen. After all, there are not many other soldiers in the Yellow Turban Soldiers, but the number of spearmen is absolutely sufficient. As for some of the pikes among the spears, Regarding the pitchfork, Liu Pi chose to ignore it.
??Lance restrains cavalry. Even though Liu Pi has not learned any systematic military knowledge, after so many years, he has some understanding of it. If the cavalry attacks the spear formation head-on, they will probably die miserably.
In order to prevent the cavalry from circling and attacking sideways, pike arrays were also arranged on both sides of the phalanx, but the number of people on the front was slightly smaller.
?These spears, whether long or short, were pointed at the hussars and horses like hedgehogs, which seemed to make Liu Pi feel somewhat reassured.
Behind the pikemen in the front, there are a few archers.
Because arrows are also a kind of consumable that is difficult for Liu Pi and Gong to produce, and not everyone can be qualified as an archer, there are not many archers at the moment, and they are scattered here and there. Two or three rows. Although the number of archers is not large, Liu Pi does not expect to rely entirely on archers to kill the enemy. As long as he can slightly disrupt the footsteps and formations of the hussars and horses, and give some support to the front row of spearmen, it will be enough. .
Behind the archers is the main force of the Yellow Turbans. They are mixed groups, all holding knives, guns and shields. Some of them are holding big yellow crossbows captured in the battle. These Yellow Turban soldiers are undoubtedly Veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles have enough experience and are good at melee combat, so even if the hussars break through the front line and reach the middle position, there is no need to be afraid. These experienced Yellow Turban veterans can also make these hussars eat. No need to walk around.
Moreover, Liu Pi also has a personal guard of about 500 people. These personal guards are truly equipped with armor. They are more elite and tough than ordinary Yellow Turban soldiers. They can go into battle at any time at the most appropriate time and exert their best performance to the hussars. The unexpected effect of the men and horses... Facing such a well-prepared and foolproof array in Liu Pi''s eyes, the hussars and horses in the distance seemed to be careless or simply disdainful. It didn''t take long for them to adjust before a low sound sounded. The sound of horns!
Liu Pi''s heart couldn''t help but feel high. This was the clarion call for the hussars to send out troops!
?These guys are coming!
It’s coming for real!
Everyone, hold on! Hold on! Liu Pi shouted, "Stand still!" Archers! Prepare! 』
?The hussars on the opposite side separated part of their horses, and then began to move forward, and then followed, and it seemed that another part of them slowly moved forward, but at a slightly slower speed...
What are you going to prepare for? Liu Pi stared, knowing that the person named Xu opposite must have a purpose for doing this, but for a moment he couldn''t figure out what the purpose was.
The galloping war horses quickly shortened the distance between the two armies. Before Liu Pi could come up with a plan, he saw that the hussars at the front had already made an angle and headed towards the left wing of Liu Pi and others'' Yellow Turban formation. Coming at a gallop.
This is also normal.
The frontal defense force is strong, which even a fool can see. The cavalry attacked the left and right wings first, which was also expected by Liu Pi.
Well done! 』
Liu Pi yelled, and then ordered the pikemen on the left wing to gather and compress to resist the cavalry attack. He also mobilized some people from the main army in the middle to support them. The greatest killing effect of the hussar.
??However, Liu Pi did not dare to mobilize the pikemen array directly in front to turn, because Liu Pi was afraid that if the formation in front was rotated, cracks in the formation would appear due to the movement, exposing the joints.
The hussars and horsemen were getting closer and closer, and the noisy hoofbeats were deafening.
Liu Pi stared wide-eyed, watching the hussars and horses getting closer and closer, and then suddenly found that there seemed to be something more on the sides of the approximately five to six hundred hussars and cavalry horses than the average cavalry, shaking up and down...
Quiver!
That’s an extra quiver!
"not good! Liu Pi shouted, "Archers come forward!" Come forward! Projectile! Projectile! 』
??The first batch of hussars to rush out did not want to charge into the formation directly at all, but wanted to use cavalry shooting to tear apart the formation and erode the overall morale!
Liu Pi stood at a high place and could naturally see more or less clearly, but the Yellow Turban soldiers arrayed below had extremely narrow vision among the crowd. He could only see the heads of the people in front, and at most he could see one or two more. The lice and fleas were just crawling around, so when the hussars began to mount and shoot, many Yellow Turban soldiers did not defend themselves accordingly...
The hussars loaded their bows and arrows uniformly, and fired continuously at the left formation of the densely packed Yellow Turban pikemen!
The arrows soared into the air and whizzed down amidst the sound of rolling horses'' hooves!
I don’t know when the hussars and horses have changed from the longitudinal direction to the horizontal direction. Starting from the left wing, arrows rained down one after another, spreading all the way to the front array of the Yellow Turban formation...
The Yellow Turban soldiers have no armor at all, and since they are all spearmen in front, there is naturally no shield. When arrows are thrown, as long as they are hit by an arrow, they will definitely let out a miserable cry and blood will spray everywhere. , the only thing that can be relied on is the blessing of the God of Luck on the battlefield.
The archers Liu Pi ordered hurriedly fought back in a hurry. However, for the Yellow Turban soldiers, whose daily training was almost zero, shooting at fixed targets was more or less adequate, but moving targets like hussars and horses were immediately exposed. Due to its weakness, most of the arrows shot landed behind the horse''s buttocks, as if it was a farewell to the hussars...
By the time the small leader of the Yellow Turban Archers realized something was wrong and ordered to adjust the angle, the hussars had already passed the range of the Yellow Turban Archers calmly and began to carry out long-range attacks on the Yellow Turban Soldiers in the center. In desperation, the little boss could only let the archers move again and hurried up to catch up.
The yellow turban spearmen array in front of the central formation, because their view was blocked by their own people, so they only knew that a group of hussars were heading to the left, and then they unexpectedly came over after a short time, raining arrows. Next, amidst the screams, a thought couldn''t help but pop out, "What''s wrong with our left wing? Isn''t it possible to stop these cavalry at all?" 』
?Hundreds of yellow scarf spearmen were shot and fell to the ground screaming, causing chaos in the array.
The hussars did not stop because of this, but brought the roar of death all the way to the right wing of the Yellow Turban soldiers...
『Left wing! There are cavalry on the left wing! ” Gong Du saw that Liu Pi’s attention was also led by these hussars, staring all the way to the right, and even ignored the second group of hussars, and couldn’t help but jump to his feet and yelled.
After almost all the attention of the Yellow Turban soldiers was drawn to the right wing, the second batch of hussars arrived!
broken!
Fell into a trap!
Liu Pi suddenly felt cold sweat on his palms. He felt that the hussars were definitely going to break through on the left wing, so he quickly ordered the soldiers in the center to rush to the left wing to set up defenses!
However, what Liu Pi and Gong didn''t expect was that the second team of hussars did not charge directly into the formation. Instead, they took advantage of the gap between the Yellow Turban archers being mobilized to get close to the Yellow Turban soldiers'' array, and then threw There were black **** one by one!
What is that? ! 』
Liu Pi''s eyes widened, but the next moment there was an earth-shattering sound, like a thunderbolt from the blue, booming in the Yellow Turban array!
天雷! It''s thunder! 』
『They know magic, magic...』
If you pay careful attention, in fact, the actual lethality of the things thrown by the hussars is not much. Except for a few that happened to fall into the crowd and knocked down a few, the rest just breathed fire, listened to the sound, and watched the smoke. , after all, how much gunpowder can be held in a small jar?
If they were ordinary soldiers, they might still have some ability to think under the panic. However, these Yellow Turban soldiers basically did not have any decent training. Secondly, they had been brainwashed by the "Taiping Sutra" for a long time and formed a habit of thinking. A set of inherent concepts of gods and ghosts. When seeing such a situation, the thoughts in the past naturally started to swirl, and there was an uproar, and the legs were weak and the hands were soft.
The left wing suddenly collapsed!
Liu Pi saw something was wrong and turned back to Gong Du.
Gong Du was silent, nodded towards Liu Pi, turned around and walked down the hillside with an iron rod in hand, then raised the iron rod in his hand high, "Kill!" Go ahead and kill him! 』
??Neither Liu Pi nor Gong expected that the battlefield would collapse so quickly, but since the situation is now like this, there is no way out except to fight hard!
?Blood splattered everywhere, and people fell on their backs.
Gong Du was more or less a veteran on the battlefield. He did not directly go up against the retreating crowd. Instead, he deviated slightly to get out of the way of the chaotic soldiers. He burst into flames in the crowd and swept across the oncoming soldiers with his stick. On the hussars'' hoofs, there was a "click" and the war horse''s legs were broken!
??The huge inertia caused the horses and cavalry to fall over, while the yellow turban veterans following Gong Du howled and rushed forward, and blood sprayed out immediately!
Gong Du saw another opportunity and knocked another hussar off his horse with a stick. He bent down to avoid the two thrusting carbines, and then hit another hussar with an iron stick. On the belly of a war horse…
One after another of hussars were intercepted, and the momentum of the entire attack was temporarily suppressed. Liu Pi, who was on the hillside, felt a little relieved and loudly ordered people to collect the defeated troops and prepare to reorganize.
??However, the next moment, the low trumpet sound, like the whisper of death, sounded on the battlefield again!
