Chapter Seventy-Four: Luring the Enemy Deeper
"Guo Taiqu is handsome, he has admired his name for a long time, and when I saw it today, he was really a fierce general."
In fact, Liu Zheng didn't know much about Mrs. Guo, but he remembered that Mrs. Guo was the leader of the White Wave Army. After the defeat of the Yellow Turban Uprising. The White Bo Army is also a relatively well-known remnant of the Yellow Turban.
Although he had heard Mrs. Guo's name for a long time. But I have never seen Mrs. Guo herself, and now that I have seen Mrs. Guo, it is the first time I have seen this man, a very burly man with a full beard and a beard.
"Everywhere, I'm just a farmer."
When Mrs. Guo heard Liu Zheng's compliments, she also seemed more humble, saying that she was a farmer, which was normal, after all, a large part of the Yellow Turban Army was a farmer before, and there were few disciples from large families.
The children of large families will not follow the Yellow Turban Army to make an uprising because they are poor and have no food to eat because of poverty.
Liu Zheng's name, Guo Tai has naturally heard of it, especially Liu Zheng, who has been in the limelight recently, is unique in the Yellow Turban Army camp.
The person who can defeat with thousands of soldiers and horses, and Zhonglang's general Huangfu Song, can naturally get the respect of Mrs. Guo.
This made them feel stronger than the original Bocai Daqu Shuai, after all, although Bocai had also trapped Zhu Jun for a while, he did not kill Zhu Jun, but was killed by Huangfu Song and others in the end.
"Okay, let's not talk about this yet, don't forget that we still have five thousand Dong Zhuo's pursuers behind us, presumably it shouldn't be far from here, we must arrange it as soon as possible, and prepare to ambush those Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses!"
Yang Feng brought Liu Zheng over here to join Guo Tai, in fact, the main reason was to use Guo Tai's soldiers and horses to launch a counterattack against Hu Chi'er, who was chasing behind.
When Mrs. Guo heard that there were still pursuers, she looked stunned at the moment, and Yang Feng didn't have much time, so he pulled Mrs. Guo to explain to Mrs. Guo, and at the same time immediately ordered his men and horses to start the defense.
Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses walked quickly to the periphery of the village, hiding nearby, and when Yang Feng and Guo Tai and Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses fought, Liu Zheng burst out from the flank, which could not only greatly hit the confidence of Dong Zhuo's men and horses, but also directly disperse the enemy's position with the charge of cavalry.
inflicted the biggest blow on Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses.
The three parties discussed and immediately began to deploy.
It didn't take long for Hu Chi'er's soldiers and horses, who were slowly chasing from the rear, to finally appear nearby.
Hu Chi'er appeared on the outskirts of the village with 5,000 recruits. Although these 5,000 soldiers and horses wore the uniforms of the officers and soldiers, they were equipped with all kinds of equipment.
But there was still a noticeable gap between their marching speed and some of the veterans. Discipline is poor, and there is no uniformity in scheduling, and there are some states that look like stragglers.
After all, this is not the elite soldiers and horses under Dong Zhuo, such a state can also be understood, the soldiers and horses under Niu Fu in history can't even beat the Baibo Army, it is conceivable that the soldiers and horses trained by Niu Fu are not much stronger.
However, the soldiers and horses immediately showed crazy joy when they discovered the village.
They pursued the Yellow Turban remnants and found a large number of Yellow Turban remnants, which meant that a lot of credit was waiting for them.
In the face of these Yellow Turban remnants, Hu Chi'er never thought that his men would lose to them, and with more than the opponent's manpower, Hu Chi'er would only feel that it would be easy for the 5,000 people under his command to deal with the Yellow Turban remnants in this small village.
Therefore, without any detection, he directly ordered the front striker to charge and began to surround the entire small village.
Among the 5,000 men and horses, 2,000 men and horses, who stood at the forefront and acted as the vanguard, quickly rushed towards the small village.
Seeing that the five thousand soldiers and horses were about to rush to the vicinity of the village, Yang Feng, Guo Tai and others who were hiding in the village also began to move and decided to counterattack.
But Liu Zheng, who was hiding in the rear, immediately changed his mind after seeing this situation.
Originally, their plan was that Yang Feng and Guo Tai would fight with these Hu Chi'er soldiers and horses first, and then Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses would rush out when the battle was fierce.
This can hit Hu Chi'er's wave of recruits to the greatest extent.
But Liu Zheng knew that if he acted according to such a plan, Yang Feng and Guo Tai's men and horses would definitely fight with Hu Chi'er's men and horses, and there would be certain losses.
At that time, Hu Chi'er, these recruits, may not necessarily be defeated by one blow, but will have a calm time to escape.
If Liu Zheng launched an attack in advance at this time, the men and horses under Hu Chi'er's command would be in chaos, and the morale of the army would be directly dispersed, but it would be able to hit Hu Chi'er's men and horses to a greater extent, so that Yang Feng and Guo Tai's soldiers and horses would only need to chase and kill the people who fled.
Moreover, the reason why Yang Feng led Hu Chi'er's 5,000 men and horses to the village where Guo Tai temporarily lived was also the idea of discounting and luring the enemy to go deeper.
As long as Hu Chi'er's 5,000 new troops were defeated, Hu Chi'er's soldiers and horses had no reinforcements, and they could not run back to Wuyang City to seek support in a short time.
Once dispersed, there would not even be many people who could escape back to Wuyang City.
So after thinking about it, Liu Zheng immediately ordered to charge.
Seven hundred cavalry launched a surprise attack directly from Hu Chi'er's rear, and the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came out on the battlefield.
Hu Chi'er didn't know what was happening, but he only heard the neighing of an army of war horses from behind him.
He reacted, and when he turned his head to look at the rear, Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses had already been killed.
At the beginning, when he heard the neighing of war horses, Hu Chi'er only thought that his reinforcements were coming, after all, the entire Yingchuan region could have hundreds of cavalry, and it seemed that only Dong Zhuo had them, but when he thought about it, he didn't seem to seek support.
If you look closely, the outfits of these cavalrymen do not look like Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is a heavy armored cavalry. In addition to the thick armor on the cavalry, even the war horses are wrapped in a layer of iron armor.
Although this will greatly affect the mobility of the war horse, it will also increase the safety of the war horse and increase the impact at the same time. A cavalry charge can directly inflict heavy losses on the enemy's infantry to a large extent, leaving them defenseless.
But these cavalry that appeared in front of him, although they also had some iron armor in their performance, most of them were placed on top of the war horses, but they were the cavalry on the war horses, with light bodies and nothing else except the weapons in their hands.
On top of that, most of these cavalrymen were bandaged with a yellow turban.
People can recognize at a glance that these people are the Yellow Turban Army!
Yellow Turban Cavalry!
Hu Chi'er was stunned at the first sight of these cavalrymen.
The Yellow Turbans also have cavalry?
