Chapter 64 Yang Zhai (1)
Bo Cai slashed a flying crossbow arrow with one knife, and felt the tiger's mouth hurt and his arms were numb. Suddenly, a chill came out from his heart:
This is a yellow-shoulder crossbow!
Crossbow arrows are cold weapons that effectively restrain cavalry in the infantry ordnance device of the Han Dynasty.
The yellow-shoulder crossbow is the best among crossbow arrows. The yellow-shoulder crossbow, also known as the big yellow crossbow, is a ten-stone powerful crossbow with a range of more than 400 meters and an amazing range of extremely lethality. It can be said to be a must-have weapon for robbing families and killing people and robbing people!
The yellow-shoulder crossbow has a small output and is generally used to deal with cavalry and rarely appears in direct battles between infantry and infantry. However, in order to deal with himself, Huangfu Song even took out the yellow-shoulder crossbow. Isn’t this bullying the small with the big one?
Bo Cai smiled bitterly, not knowing whether it was his own blessing or misfortune.
Unfortunately, Bocai quickly couldn't even smile bitterly. The crossbow arrows that covered the sky and the sun looked not beautiful at all, but instead made people feel scared.
The more than 30,000 Yellow Turban Army's heads were suppressed by the yellow-shouldered crossbow, let alone charging. The road ahead was covered with corpses under his command, yellow clothes were like a forest, blood flowing into a river, sharp arrows were inserted on his shoulders, chest, legs, and even dozens of arrows were caught in the body, like hedgehogs in the forest, terrible and unaware of sight. Every step forward would cost dozens of lives.
Bo Cai looked back at his team, and was furious and his heart was weeping. A hundred thousand troops went to Changshe, and the ten stops had already gone and six or seven stops. Now the more than 30,000 people had another two or three thousand casualties, but I wonder how many people there are in the Yellow Turbans on the East Road can fill it?
"Master!"
Huang Shao gritted his teeth, pulled out the arrow on his arm, pulled off a piece of clothes and bandaged it briefly, and crawled toward Bo Cai: "There are not many thieves, but the yellow-shoulder crossbow attacks very fiercely. We have been completely suppressed and cannot rush over. Once the thief army behind us catches up, we may die without a burial place!"
"What do you think?"
"There are only two ways to go now!"
Huang Shao pulled Bo Cai, and a sharp arrow flew over Bo Cai's head with a "buzzing" sound, whizzing cold wind, "First, we are divided into three groups, and we are on standby on time. The two groups pass through the woods on both sides of the road and attack directly behind the thieves. At that time, the three groups attacked each other, why worry about the thieves not breaking?"
Bo Cai looked at the bushes and dense forests on both sides, shook his head and said, "The old saying goes: Don't chase the forest and don't enter. The dense forest looks only three or five hundred steps, but the forest is full of thorns, snakes and ants lingering, the road is tortuous, and weeds are everywhere, but I don't know if it's going to take half an hour or an hour?
Now we are in a desperate situation, with tigers in front and evil wolves behind us, we don’t have anything
The most lacking is time. What's more, do you still remember? When they set off from Changshe City that day, there were more than 4,000 people, but now there are only a few people opposite. Have you counted it? I tell you, there are only more than 2,000 people.
So, where are the remaining two thousand people now? Have they set up traps in the dense forest to attract us to the trap? You said that once you step into the dense forest, your troops under you will be disbanded. Besides bending down and taking the sword, what other ways can we break out of the siege?"
Bo Cai looked at the corpses in the road ahead like a hill, patted Huang Shao on the shoulder, and sighed inwardly: "This road is not open, what is there? Just straighten it!"
Huang Shao half-squatted up and drew a few strokes on the ground, pointing to Yangdi City and said, "Master, the second is the Yangdi defender. There are still 5,000 soldiers and hundreds of war horses in Yangdi City. If we send a signal, the soldiers in the city will definitely divide their troops to help. Once the Han thieves are in chaos behind, the Han thieves will definitely care about their heads and butts.
We will break out of the encirclement and join forces with the defenders to encircle the Han thieves. Advance can completely annihilate the Han thieves to avenge the Chiefs' revenge, and retreat can return to Yangdi to reorganize. Although this plan is good, it is just..."
"Just what?"
Huang Shao's face was full of solemnity: "The last general is worried that once the Yangdi defenders leave the city, the city will be empty. If the Han thieves take the opportunity to attack the city, Yangdi will be in danger!"
Why didn’t the thieves be so brave when they were besieging Changshe? Have these thieves taken medicine?
Bo Cai shook his head and listened to the shrill screams of the soldiers under his command in the rain of arrows. His heart seemed to be cut by a knife and was covered in blood. There were bursts of flesh pain. A ferocious smile hung on the corner of his mouth again. He waved his hand and shouted: "There are only more than 4,000 thieves in front of him. Except for Wang Li and others in front of him, the rest of them were all deployed in the roads and dense forests ahead. Where can we find the personnel to grab the pass?
The brave ones win when they meet on a narrow road! Once the soldiers defeat the defense of the Han thieves, we can quickly enter Yangdi. What's more, what are you afraid of fighting on the plains? I have never been afraid of anyone in my life! It's just decided to send a signal to Liu Pi and the others!"
The flag-holding soldiers took out something from their arms and ignited it on the ground. A bunch of white fireworks soared into the sky, like lilacs and white lotus, and they would not dissipate for a long time.
...
Yangdi, Yellow Turban Temporary Command Post.
"Ship Qu!"
A yellow turban soldier ran in like a wind: "Report to General Qu, we are waiting in the city to find a signal of a general asking for help from the grove five miles away, and there seems to be activities of the Han court thieves nearby!"
Isn’t the Grand Marshal in Changshe?
Liu Pi raised his head and looked at Gong Du in confusion, then hurriedly grabbed his armor and ran out quickly.
“Shishou Qu
, Look!" The soldier pointed to the white fireworks in the air.
Liu Pi and Gong Du stood at the top of the city and looked at the white lotus-like fireworks in the air. The face became solemn. Before sending troops, the general had agreed that Hong would send troops to Huang to rescue him, and Bai was in a hurry. Now the general lit the white fireworks himself, but my army on the east side was in a desperate situation?
Liu Pi frowned and pondered for a moment, then slapped the city wall with a palm and said resolutely: "Brother Gong, now the commander is in danger, I am currently going to rescue him. But now there are only 5,000 infantry in the city, and the troops are really insufficient. I plan to lead 3,000 infantry and the remaining 100 cavalry out of the city to fight. Can you defend the city with two thousand elite soldiers?"
Gong Du smiled at the sky and said, "Don't worry, brother, just go there. If Gong is not proud of Haikou, even if the thief comes with 350,000 yuan, Gong can still defend for one day and one night with these two thousand infantrymen!"
Liu Pi nodded, clasped his clothes and shouted: "Okay, then I'll beat the drum and send troops!"
The war drums surging and the horns roars roared. The north gate of Yangdi City opened wide, and teams of strong Yellow Turban soldiers rushed out, leading to speedily under the guidance of more than a hundred knights like arrows.
...
Listening to the faint sound of drums coming from Yangdi, Zhao Yun looked back and saw a long snake galloping towards the woods under the distant city.
"Brother, Yu'er has already taken the bait. It seems that Yangdi is not far from returning to my great man!"
Wang Li nodded in Yangdi's direction, held his right hand tightly, and sneered: "Since that's the case, don't blame me for surrounding the support. Just five thousand infantrymen dared to divide their troops to rescue. Do you think we were made of mud?
Humph, Fu Xie and Ji Hong can’t seize this opportunity and give Yangdi reinforcements a blow, it’s better to buy a piece of tofu and kill him! Let’s go, the good show has begun, and we should make a comeback, let’s do it!”
"Arrow stops!"
Wang Li suddenly stood up, and his tongue burst into a lotus and shouted loudly. He said the Dharma and followed him. The forest suddenly became clear, and the crossbow arrows in the sky stopped.
"Get on the horse!"
Everyone untied the reins and the condom on the horse's mouth, patted the horse's head gently, and stood up half-kneeling. Everyone had already sat straight on the horse's back, clamped their legs gently, and rushed from the dense forest to the road, forming horns and naturally separated two rows.
"kill!"
Wang Li glanced at Zhao Yun, gently put his helmet on his head, unsheathed his sword and raised it, and the war horse Xiao Xiao generals roared like two hideous long dragons, roaring towards the Yellow Turban camp.
