C95 (1/2)
”Hurry up!”
No matter how powerful the Arrows s were, they were unable to stop the xanthopanax from attacking. There were simply too many xanthopanax s, and they did not care about the deaths and injuries of the few hundred people. Soon after, over a thousand ladders reached the city walls, and the Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves s began climbing up one by one.
”Smash the rocks. Smash the rocks.”
”Push the ladder. Push the ladder away.”
The officers on the wall shouted, and the soldiers and village men hurriedly threw rocks after rocks. Not long later, the ladder was pushed open and the xanthopanax soldiers who had already climbed up the ladder stood in the air, staring blankly as they fell.
”Reporting to General, cavalry of Youzhou is here.”
Just as the xanthopanax was about to attack the city, the Pingyu opened up and over ten thousand cavalrymen came out. The riders purposely showed off their power and roared, causing the dust to fly off their horses hooves as they pounced towards xanthopanax who was attacking the city.
”Dang, dang, dang, dang …”
In the array of xanthopanax, there was the sound of an urgent gong. It was summoning the soldiers who were attacking the city, quickly retreat back to your own array. As if they had heard the general amnesty, the xanthopanax soldiers immediately ran back. Especially those soldiers who had climbed halfway down the stairs, they immediately jumped down, even if they had to break their legs.
Peng Tuo immediately followed Zhang Banxian's instructions and released the Long Spear Array. Over thirty thousand Lance Soldier were lined up in six rows around the big array, forming a huge hedgehog formation. Although they couldn't do anything to the cavalry, if the cavalry tried to charge up, the casualties would be too great.
”Howl, howl, howl …”
However, Peng Tuo did not expect that the cavalry army did not attack, but only surrounded them and kept walking around, constantly shouting and shouting. The dust that was swept up had almost drowned out all of the soldiers of xanthopanax. It could be seen that these cavalrymen were looking for opportunities, or looking for loopholes, to attack.
The two sides remained in a deadlock.
At this time, Peng Tuo began to feel that it was a pity for the original exorcism. If it wasn't for them having a huge battle with the imperial government, there would still be more than two thousand cavalrymen left. They wouldn't be in such a passive situation. Now, he didn't even have two hundred cavalrymen. Seeing those cavalrymen flaunting their might, he felt so angry that his teeth were itching.
Yan Yang said. The sun was blazing like fire.
Huang Shao brought over fifty thousand blade and shield soldiers and over ten thousand carts of food and supplies, and slowly walked along the official road of Yan Yang. It was already afternoon, and the convoy could finally be considered to be out of Pingjing County. Huang Shao let out a long breath, as if he had escaped from a cage. Even though the weather was hot, Huang Shao's heart felt very refreshed.
”Let's speed up. When we arrive at Silent County, I'll let you all have a good rest.”
Those soldiers were also infected by the high-ranking officer, so they moved even faster. They had been walking for most of the day and were exhausted, but the thought of escaping danger brought strength to their legs. In fact, they had arrived at Hanyang, which was at least three days' journey away from Shou County.
However, their happiness came too early. Even if it was today, they wouldn't be able to escape. Just as Huang Shao was cheering for the Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves, the excited Huang Shao suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet trembling, and turned to look.
”Heavens …”
It was a cavalry unit! A huge cavalry unit!
Rows after rows of cavalrymen, like demons from hell, suddenly emerged from the ground. More than twenty thousand cavalrymen formed a long fan shape, densely packed into the wilderness, extending all the way to the end of the horizon, quickly surrounding the xanthopanax. It was as if they wanted to catch all the xanthopanax soldiers in one fell swoop.
”Kill …”
Tens of thousands of iron hooves kicked up dust all over the sky, the formation was dense and murderous, the twenty thousand sabers shined coldly in the sunlight, it was so dazzling, so dazzling, and filled with a suffocating atmosphere.
Huang Shao's mind was a total blank, he did not know what to do, even if he wanted to queue up, there was no time. In the open plains, when the infantry encountered the cavalry soldiers, they would only be able to survive if they formed a concentrated formation and risked their lives. If they turned around to escape, they would only be seeking their own deaths, their legs would never be faster than four legs.
”Run, quick …”
Not waiting for Huang Shao to awaken from his shock, the soldiers under him had already become a mess. The soldiers threw down their swords, wood shield s, even the carriage and cows, and started to run, as if their parents were missing two legs, and escaped like a madman, as if everything in front of them was safe.
In the blink of an eye, all of the fifty thousand soldiers dispersed, leaving only the hundred personal guards by Huang Shao's side. Regardless of whether or not Huang Shao was willing, the personal guards all pulled Huang Shao's horse, bringing him running forward.
What was unbelievable was that Zhang Jean's family also ran around randomly. The xanthopanax soldiers who were in charge of them had long since escaped, but they actually followed the soldiers. I really don't know how such a smart Zhang Jean could have such a big family of idiots.
On the other hand, Xun Yu and Xun You were much calmer. Seeing xanthopanax fleeing in panic, they stood on the same spot as him. They looked at the approaching tens of thousands of horse hooves and could not help but feel fear. If you run around like the xanthopanax, those cavalrymen wouldn't need their sabers to trample you to the ground.
