Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 924 Fighting Chang'an (10)

Ma Yan looked at the Xiliang general flag under the slope. Although he didn't know which general of Xiliang he was facing, no matter who the general in front of him was, if he wanted to capture the seemingly simple opponent he was defending The camp, relying on the strength in front of it, is simply a fool's dream.

Although the Xiliang army seems to have opened the camp and seems to have the upper hand, but Ma Yan only needs to look back at the crossbowmen who are lining up in the camp, and he is somewhat fortunate that he is not facing the people Some hairy crossbowmen...

   "Bowmen, go forward and shoot!" With an order, five hundred crossbowmen, under the cover of shield soldiers, rushed to the front of the formation and started shooting at the Xiliang soldiers down the hillside.

  When the sound of "Boom Boom Boom" sounded, the huge power of the crossbow was fully displayed!

  If it is said that the arrow is hit, some pawns can bear the pain and continue to fight, but for the crossbow, basically just one shot can make this unlucky **** quit the battle series immediately!

  Suddenly, the Xiliang army formation, which suffered a heavy setback from the crossbowmen, suddenly panicked. The banners in the army formation waved wildly, showing the tremendous pressure the Xiliang soldiers were under.

Li Meng saw the cavalry trying to charge up the **** like seedlings, and they were neatly cut to the ground by the scythe, he couldn't help shouting angrily: "Damn it! This camp is full of crossbowmen! "

   Xiliang soldiers, whether they were infantry or cavalry, their offensive momentum was suddenly blocked.

Although not all of them are crossbowmen like Li Meng said, in fact, the crossbowmen in the camp accounted for two-thirds of the troops, 500 archers, 500 crossbowmen, plus The sword and shield players and spearmen in charge of external defense, if they want to attack and enter the camp, they must at least wait until these arrows and crossbows are exhausted!

  But there is not much time left for Li Meng and Wang Fang.

  In the south of Sucheng, Fei Qian and Zhao Yunzheng came back with their cavalry...

  Zhao Yun put himself in the place of the Xiliang soldiers in Sucheng and thought about it, and found that if he was the commander of the Xiliang soldiers, he would also be extremely helpless.

  If the forces are almost equal, who would choose to go out of the city for a decisive battle instead of relying on the dominant city for defense?

  So after learning that the opponent is building a dam, do you choose to attack immediately and mindlessly, or choose to wait until the opponent's troops are weak before launching a surprise attack?

  Okay, after all the best choices, this is the current situation.

   What if you choose to stick to it and not fight?

The result is not much better. Once the dam breaks, Sucheng will not become a vast ocean, but there will be a lot of mud inside and outside the city. So by the time the terrain dries up and the battle is allowed, at least three or four days have passed. That's enough, Fei Qian and Zhao Yun went to the city behind Sucheng for a stroll and came back...

  The city behind saw Feiqian's flag, but couldn't see the Xiliang soldier's flag, so what would happen?

   Xiliang soldiers, who needed to defend on three sides, suddenly seemed to be broken through in one direction, and a large number of cavalry appeared, so what does it mean?

  By that time, I am afraid that things will be beyond the control of Xiliang soldiers in Sucheng...

  So, Xiliang soldiers in Sucheng will have to make a choice, and it seems that no matter what choice they make, the consequences will be the same.

   Zhao Yun can only rejoice that he is now on the advantageous side of Fei Qian.

If the cavalry gallops on flat ground, it can reach about 80 miles per hour, and if it gallops at full speed, it can reach 150 to 200 miles. Of course, if the horse has run at full strength for about 200 miles, it must stop to rest and recuperate. , Supplementary food, and then wait for the horse's physical strength to recover before continuing to move forward, otherwise the horse's wear and tear will be extremely high.

  Passing through Sucheng in Guanzhong, most of the ground is flat. Fei Qian and Zhao Yun led the cavalry around. Although the distance was a bit far, it was not an unacceptable distance for the cavalry.

Perhaps it was because Zhao Yun was galloping on the flat ground all the way, the rising smoke was discovered by the guards above Sucheng when it was more than 20 miles away, and the two leaders of the Xiliang soldiers panicked. The commanders were all in the north of the city, and the military marquis who stayed behind could only subconsciously order the city gate to be closed to prevent Zhao Yun's cavalry from raiding the city, while hastily sending people to inform Li Meng and Wang Fang who were ahead...

  Fei Qian saw figures swaying on Sucheng, and vaguely heard the sound of warning gongs, so he turned his head and said, "Zilong, you go first, and I will hold the line."

Zhao Yun nodded, and with one stroke of his spear, he led half of the Bingzhou cavalry, and gradually began to increase the speed of the horse. The Bingzhou cavalry dispersed into three frontal arrows of 200 cavalry each, and rolled towards Wang Fang's rear formation. over!

"Turn to the rear! Turn to the rear! Line up the spears! The spearmen step forward! Archers, the archers also turn! Back! Back!" Wang Fang anxiously dripped beads of sweat down his cheeks. Hastily issued an order, "Quick! Send someone to notify General Li Meng, and wait for the cavalry to come to help!"

However, when the two armies confront each other, in order to obtain better coordination with each other, it is also conducive to unified command and dispatch. Although most of the formations and formations have gaps before them, they are not spacious enough to turn and change at will. The infantry also had to march in order to fight effectively, and Wang Fang issued a number of orders in a hurry. With the flags in the army fluttering, a queue of pikemen collided with a queue of archers immediately. In one place, people were overwhelmed by pushing and shoving, making it even more chaotic.

In the battle formation, the pawn's field of vision is limited, and the surrounding area is blocked by comrades-in-arms, so it is impossible to know the situation outside the battle formation. Although Wang Fang's order cannot be said to be wrong, but in such a sudden situation, the ranks of the ranks Unable to coordinate with each other, the chaos began to spread involuntarily, and even affected the soldiers in the front line who were attacking the **** with arrows and crossbows...

At this time, Li Meng, who had been blocked several times behind the camp, had just seen the smoke and dust rising closer and closer in the direction of Sucheng after receiving the news of Wang Fang's request for help, and was waiting to be ordered to go. Rescue Wang Fang, when he heard soldiers around him shouting in disorder: "General! It's over! Back! Back!"

  Li Meng couldn't help being furious, and shouted: "I know someone is coming from behind Sucheng! Don't shout, come with me..."

   "No, no! General! Behind! Behind!" Several of Li Meng's personal guards also shouted eagerly.

   "The back?"

  Li Meng looked at the guards beside him pointing at the rear of his cavalry array in panic, and couldn't help but follow the guard's pointing, turned his head and looked north, his face turned pale...
