Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 947 Information Difference and Time Difference

  Whether they can accurately shoot three waves of arrows for effective strikes before the battle is a big difference between elite cavalry and ordinary cavalry.

Not everyone can become a cavalry as long as they can ride a horse. There is still a long way to go. It is precisely because of this that even if other states and counties of the Han Dynasty get horses, they can still only form a small cavalry team. , the most fundamental reason is this.

   Really have this condition, can be recruited and directly used as cavalry, and only Xiliang and Bingzhou are two states. It is very interesting that in these two states and counties, Hu people occupy a certain proportion...

However, whether it is Xiliang or Bingzhou, there are still a few who can even equip men and horses with armor. When Feiqian's cavalry appeared in the eyes of Guo Si and others, many old Xiliang soldiers couldn't help but exclaimed "Flying Bear! Flying Bear Army!"

Yes, the Flying Bear Army under Dong Zhuo is such a heavy cavalry with men and horses. However, Fei Qian is not a full-scale heavy cavalry, because even if it is selected repeatedly, the Bingzhou war horse is still one size smaller. Now It can only be said that half iron armor and half leather armor, but this form still has a great deterrent power!

After three waves of arrows, the cavalry in the first and second rows had already inserted their bows back into the cloth bags on one side, and lifted up their spears, holding them weakly and holding them under their armpits, like a hedgehog general The thorns stick out one after another, layer upon layer, making people feel hairy just looking at it!

   Behind the first two rows of cavalry, they were basically holding ring swords. The blades shone with a cold light, and they could be seen to be made of high-quality steel at a glance.

In addition to the weapons for the main battle, these elite cavalrymen of Fei Qian are also equipped with throwing weapons such as small iron halberds or small axes, and some have prepared two swords, and some even have It's three!

In fact, in the cold sword battle, the ring head knife is a slashing weapon, but it is also a relatively heavy weapon, but no matter how good the quality is, it may be damaged or dropped in a fierce battle. Therefore, in order to It is better to carry out continuous combat, and carrying spare weapons has become the only choice. After all, it is not always possible to find a handy weapon from the side on the battlefield. Sometimes it takes a little time, and often you can Save your life.

It can be said that since the Han Dynasty, it is the Han people in these two areas who have fought one after another on the impoverished land of the Han family, fighting to the death, and bringing the civilization of the Han people from this corner of the Yellow River Basin. Expand westward to the Western Regions, and march northward to Mobei!

   This Han family bearing is still extremely powerful, and the Han family cavalry at this moment is still generous and vigorous!

  Six hundred cavalrymen crashed straight into the soldiers led by Guo Bang like a crumbling mountain, especially Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao.

Under the altar, there was still a sea of ​​flames and people rushing like water, but Guo Si no longer had the relaxed posture he had just shown. When he saw the armored cavalry rushing in, he couldn't help showing a terrified expression on his face, his eyes widened. It was so round, it was like being splashed all over by a basin of ice water in the face of the cold winter, and even the spear that was waving in his hand stopped involuntarily.

   The next moment, these soldiers of Guo Si had completely collapsed amidst the screams and screams.

In order to rescue Guo Bang, who was surrounded by the crowd, these soldiers did not form any decent battle formation at all, they just rushed to the middle in a chaotic manner, and now they were rushed from behind by Fei Qian's six hundred cavalry, plus Zhao Yun And Zhang Liao, two fierce generals, how can they fight back?

The heavy armored cavalry is not considered invincible in the cold weapon era, and there are many restrictions on its use. It can even be said that it is an expensive and cost-effective type of arms. Places, especially in such small-scale battles, are first-class in terms of deterrence and combat effectiveness.

If you want to defeat such heavy cavalry like iron cans, you can't easily penetrate them with guns, and you can't penetrate them with knives. Ordinary attacks are useless at all. The only way is to form an array according to the terrain, and then use strong bows and crossbows, and then Coupled with the horse-repelling array, long knives and spears, the speed of these moving fortresses will be slowed down, and then a certain effect will be achieved.

Of course, when using heavy cavalry, there are of course many restrictions, such as concentrating the strength of heavy cavalry as much as possible, and cooperating with other arms, ranged soldiers suppress the opponent's firepower, infantry and light cavalry are contained on the wings, etc. It doesn't mean that as long as there is one type of heavy cavalry, it can sweep the world.

In the era of cold weapons, a large-scale battle still has to rely on the system to fight. Although fighting against heavy cavalry has always required heavy losses. The fundamental reason why the cavalry has not been able to be used on a large scale is that the cost is too high. Even if they win a big battle, they often suffer a lot of losses, especially war horses, which are easily lost due to injuries. .

In addition, if the terrain is really uneven, the heavy cavalry is not flexible enough in the mountains and forests, so the heavy cavalry that can be invincible in Guanzhong, Hebei and Henan, often becomes the best in the southeast hilly area with dense water networks. target, so it cannot become an absolutely invincible existence.

  But now, no matter whether it is a long spear or a long knife, or a strong bow and crossbow, Guo Bang has nothing in front of him. The only thing that can be regarded as a favorable location is...

  Guo Bang quickly jumped off the canopy cart, and then ran towards the altar, beckoning his soldiers to move closer to it, trying to form a defensive line on the altar, to somewhat resist the surprise attack of these heavy cavalrymen like Fei Qian.

Zhang Liao seems to have an innately keen sense of the so-called command of the enemy army. Even among thousands of armies, he seems to be able to find the correct marching direction, and he can also confront the enemy's central army head-on and find the enemy. The figure of the military commander, so although there are many people and various people near the altar, Zhang Liao still saw the figure of Guo Si fleeing in a hurry, and immediately waved his spear, and after sweeping out of a safe area, he shouted violently Let the personal guards cover, and then immediately took out the bow and arrow, and shot three arrows in a row without saying a word!

On the battlefield, I'm afraid the most fearful thing is to meet a general like Zhang Liao, who is tyrannical in close combat and unable to fight, but when he wants to escape, the long-range bow and arrow are so ruthless and accurate that he can't even run away. It's tricky...

Guo Si had just stood on the steps of the altar, half turned around, and prepared to call for his men to line up to block the impact of some Feiqian cavalry, and then to give him some chance to escape, but he saw a few black lights out of the corner of his eye, and immediately All the cold hairs exploded, and he twisted his body violently!

If God can give Guo Bang another chance, Guo Bang will definitely not put on heavy armor in the brocade robe just for the sake of being chic and beautiful. I agree, I will never allow it, let alone bring a thousand people to this damned place...

  But there is no good medicine for regret in this world, and Zhang Liao's arrow had already arrived when he heard the scream of the wind.

The three sharp spiked arrows were pierced almost side by side in a small fan. Although Guo Si twisted away as hard as he could, he still couldn't completely dodge. A spiked arrow cut through his waist and ribs. The strength caused the arrow to pass through with a pool of blood, and it was nailed to the steps of the altar. The wings of the arrow with blood beads kept trembling, as if it would break through the air in the next moment !

  Guo Si let out a scream and fell to the ground.

   "General!"

As soon as Guo Bang fell to the ground, the Xiliang soldiers who were already a little flustered immediately went crazy, and Fei Qian yelled "Guo Si is dead" without losing the opportunity, which made the Xiliang soldiers who had lost their command completely Lost fighting spirit, not to mention gathering up to fight against Fei Qian's heavy cavalry...

By the time Guo Si barely suppressed the severe pain and stood up again, the entire Xiliang soldier system had completely collapsed. A dozen or even a few cavalrymen could chase down hundreds of Xiliang soldiers. On the entire altar, there were only Guo Bang and less than twenty guards around him.

Guo Si propped himself up on a spear, barely stood, then looked at the surrounding cavalry, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Who are you waiting for? What do you want?" Although Guo Si was already aware of the desperate situation, Guo Si I still want to work harder, maybe I can negotiate and negotiate to win a chance of survival...

   "I am Fei Ziyuan, Fei Qian, here to borrow the head of the general..." Fei Qian did not shy away from it, and under the protection of Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun, he said loudly.

   "Haha, haha..." Guo Bang looked up to the sky and laughed miserably, then raised his spear, pointed at Fei Qian and said, "...Here is a certain head, if you have one, take it yourself!"

   "Good!" Fei Qian nodded calmly.

   "Someone took it for the prince!" Zhang Liao was eager to move forward.

   Fei Qian hurriedly grabbed Zhang Liao, then smiled at Guo Si, and suddenly raised his voice and said: "Everyone has it, bow and shoot! Give General Guo a ride!"

  Guo Bang's eyes widened suddenly, he pointed at Fei Qian and shouted angrily, "Ru...Ru..."

   Feiqian smiled, of course he knew what Guo Bang was thinking, or what he wanted to say, but basically he didn't take it seriously and didn't care.

  Why bother when you can get it easily? Like in a TV movie, at the last moment, with an automatic rifle in hand and bullets in it, just move your finger, you have to put down the gun and engage in dangerous hand-to-hand combat with the enemy? What kind of stupid behavior is this? Are those directors not smart enough themselves or do they think the audience is not smart enough?

  Fei Qian waved his hand casually, and the dense rain of arrows blocked all Guo Si's unfinished words, and buried under the arrows together with his personal guards.

"Remember!" Fei Qian said seriously to Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun, and at the same time to the cavalry around him, "Your lives are always precious! Fighting head-on, licking blood on the blade, each depends on its own ability But don’t take the risk you shouldn’t take! A certain brought you out, and also brought you home!”

   Everyone, including Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun, paused for a moment, and then responded with a loud bang.

   "Take the head! Let's go!" Fei Qian ordered.

  Actually, what Cai Cai said just now was not only for Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun, but also for Fei Qian himself.

The current situation is actually not optimistic. Although Guo Si has been awarded the title, Fan Chou and others are coming to the east of Chang'an, and Li Jue is in Xinfeng to the west of Chang'an, just one road away from Fei Qian. Weishui only!

There is nothing wrong with the fact that there were no instant messaging tools in the Han Dynasty, but the death of Guo Si, or the fact that Fei Qian sneaked into Chang'an cannot be hidden forever, maybe in a few days, maybe tomorrow, in the East and West Li Jue and others may get the news, so will they put down their swords and guns just because a Guo Si died?

  Think about it and know that this is impossible, especially after Li Jue has tasted the sweetness of power.

  So Chang'an is not like Pang Shu, Pangxi, or Chong Shao and others imagined, after getting rid of the chief culprit, everything will be successful in one fell swoop...

  Before Qianqian came to Chiyang, Feiqian and Xu Shu had discussed it over and over again.

What is certain is that Li Jue is leading a large force in Xinfeng, waiting for Fei Qian or Huangfusong to take the bait, maybe with the assistance of Ma Teng and Han Sui, but even if Ma Teng's people want to rush to Xinfeng, they may It is only cavalry, and the infantry must still be walking slowly towards Chang'an in the Wuzhang Plain in the west. This means that there is a vacuum period of troops in Chang'an for a short period of time. Guo Si, then it means that in a short period of time, the Xiliang soldiers in Chang'an City will have no leader!

Of course, Guo Si might not necessarily announce the information about the Xiliang soldiers to everyone in the ruling and opposition parties, so those anti-Xiliang alliance people in Chang'an may not know it well. For them, since the net has been laid, So it's good to get one...

  Perhaps in the thinking of these anti-Xiliang alliance people in Chang'an, the Xiliang people are already in danger, and they seem to be on the verge of collapse, and they can be easily overthrown with just a little more force.

   Such time difference and information difference create an opportunity for Fei Qian to act, but the safe time of such an opportunity is also very short, so now Fei Qian must race against time!

   Now, Guo Bang died in front of his eyes, and his head was put in the wooden box. Having reached this step, it means that Fei Qian's plan is half successful!

  The south of Chiyang is the Jingshui, crossing the Jingshui is Wulingyuan, which is where the Mausoleum of Chang'an City is located, and opposite the Mausoleum, south of the Weishui Bridge, is today's capital of Han!

  Big man, Chang'an!
