Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty - Chapter 954
Chapter 954
boom!
The two wings of the euphorbia were attacked by the Liaodong cavalry at the same time. Under the order of Gongsun Kang, the Liaodong cavalry assaulted from left to right. Even the euphorbia felt that the single tree was difficult to support, like duckweed in the water, crumbling.
Although the Euphorbia was well-equipped, but the number was too small after all. Under the repeated impact of the Liaodong cavalry, naturally they suffered heavy casualties.
“Father, the euphorbia seems to be a little unsupported, what should I do?” Yuan Xi asked Yuan Shao with a slightly worried expression.
“Order the archers to reinforce the Euphorbia.” Yuan Shao said solemnly.
In the first battle that determined Hebei’s ownership, that is, the battle between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan had more cavalry than Liaodong iron cavalry. There were thousands of people in the world-famous Bai Ma Yi Cong who was unique in riding and shooting. , Plus other Youzhou Xiaoqi, there are as many as 10,000 people!
However, Qu Yi only set up eight hundred first-time soldiers, and broke Gongsun Zan and broke the myth of Baima Yicong.
Because of this, Yuan Shao attaches great importance to the construction of archers, after all, this is the nemesis of the cavalry. Although Qu Yi was killed later, the Xiandeng dead around him naturally disappeared, but to this day, Yuan Shao’s army still has a large number of archers.
Following Yuan Shao’s order, more than two thousand archers immediately stepped forward, aimed at the Liaodong iron cavalry entangled with the Euphorbia, and opened their bows and arrows.
Whoosh whoosh!
More than two thousand arrows fell from the sky, but the euphorbia was not affected much, because they were wearing thick full-body iron armor, only one face was exposed, and the area affected was small.
The Liaodong iron cavalry is different. Even people and horses are very large. Even if the arrows are not shot on people, they can always hit the horses. At a time, many horses hit arrows and hissed several times.
“Ah!” An arrow hit a knight’s chest, and he screamed and fell down!
“Aung Roar!” The war horse was racing at high speed. Suddenly an arrow was hit in the head. Naturally, he went mad under the severe pain, moved around and threw the owner off his back.
“Let it go!”
Whoosh whoosh!
Another round of arrows was shot out, and more than two hundred riders went down. With the support of the archers, the pressure on Euphorbia was greatly reduced and he was relieved.
The euphorbias withstood the fierce attack of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry in front, and forcibly contained the Liaodong Iron Cavalry’s charge, while the Yuan Jun archer took advantage of the situation. The Liaodong iron cavalry were all light cavalry, and they were large in size. Naturally, they suffered heavy casualties in front of the arrow rain of Yuan Jun’s archers.
“Hahaha, my father is really a clever calculation, and Gongsun Du doesn’t want to think about it. Even Baima Yicong is in our hands. What counts for thousands of people?” Yuan Shang laughed.
Yuan Shao also had a smile on his face, obviously very useful to Yuan Shang’s praise.
“But, I’m afraid that the Euphorbia will be severely injured after today’s war.” Yuan Xi sighed.
“What is the second brother afraid of? Anyway, the armor of the dead Euphorbia can be stripped off and used.” Yuan Shang said indifferently.
“My third brother, who doesn’t have parents? It’s a pity that so many elite soldiers died in battle.” Yuan Xi shook his head.
Among the three brothers of the Yuan family, Yuan Tan is the eldest son, and Yuan Shang is favored by Yuan Shao. Therefore, both of them have the intention to inherit Yuan Shao’s family business. After Yuan Shao’s death, the two split up, and their brother Ni Qiang attacked each other. Yuan Tan even formed an alliance with Cao Cao, his father and enemy, hoping to use Cao Cao’s hand against Yuan Shang.
On the other hand, Yuan Xi’s personality is softer, more benevolent, and doesn’t think much about the desire for power. When Cao Cao attacked Hebei, Yuan Xi was the governor of Youzhou, and Jiao Shu, the general, betrayed him and threatened Youzhou officials to surrender. Those who did not surrender were killed. As a result, Youzhou don’t drive Han Heng and said: I keep the Yuan family’s kindness and don’t surrender.
“Xie’er, how can there be a woman’s benevolence in fighting the world? Just give me more compassion later.” Yuan Shao frowned.
Yuan Xi nodded helplessly: “Yes, father, the child knows.”
Although the Liaodong cavalry suffered heavy casualties under the intensive arrow rain of Yuan Jun, the five hundred eucalyptus soldiers had been killed and injured by this time. Jiang Yiqu had to order to shrink the formation and continue to resist the siege of the Liaodong cavalry.
“No, I can’t die, I don’t want to die…”
A Liaodong iron cavalry suddenly stopped, looked at the dead people and dead horses all around, his arms couldn’t help shaking. On the other side, countless arrows shot over continuously, and it will die sooner or later.
“Go, go!”
He patted the horse under his crotch, and the horse naturally understood what the owner meant, turned around and left, leaving this place of right and wrong.
The Liaodong iron cavalry has lost nearly a thousand horses! This is 30% of the damage. Even a good soldier has reached the limit of casualties at this moment. Instead of maiming the Euphorbia, it is far from breaking into Yuan Shao’s army. These Liaodong cavalry are naturally in their hearts. Feared, they retreated.
“Damn it, don’t run!” Gongsun Kang was furious when he saw the cavalry under his command running away. But between life and death, how could these cavalry care about Gongsun Kang?
“Lord Young Master! Our army is seriously injured, and I am afraid that Yuan Shao will not be able to sack and kill Yuan Shao for a while, or else our army should retreat temporarily?” the captain of the personal soldier on the side advised.
“Retreat? This…”
Gongsunkang was in a dilemma, because his younger brother was an **** and had no fertility, so Gongsundu made it clear that he was his heir. However, Gongsun Kang is also a little afraid of his father’s character. If it’s okay to lead troops to make contributions this time, he just retreats in such a desperate way, is it worth it?
“Lord Lord, I have the green hills here, I am not afraid that there will be no firewood. If all the iron knights are folded here, the Old Lord will not be able to replace the main bus.” The captain of the soldiers persuaded.
“…Withdraw troops!” Gongsun Kang gritted his teeth.
“The prince has an order, the whole army retreats, hurry!”
Hearing these words, many Liaodong iron knights really had a long drought in the rain. They hurriedly followed Gongsunkang and retreated.
“Go, go!” The remaining nearly two thousand Liaodong cavalry hurriedly turned around and left. After all, Yuan Shaojun’s arrows were still shooting at a steady stream. It would be a miserable death to be shot at this time.
Nearly two thousand Liaodong cavalry turned around and left. Yuan Shang couldn’t help but say happily: “Father, the enemy has retreated.”
“Great!”
Yuan Shao’s spirit was lifted: “Order the whole army to press on the whole line, and absolutely cannot let the enemy army go. This time, we will defeat Gongsundu in one go!”
“Kill!”
Nearly ten thousand Chinese troops around Yuan Shao immediately shouted, and pressed towards Wen Chou and Yang Yi troops who were fighting.
“Soldiers! Our reinforcements have arrived. Kill the enemy without leaving a piece of armor!”
Wen Chou and Jiang Qi shouted loudly, and Yuan Shaojun was immediately morale high and ready to counterattack.
