It was the 1,000-strong bow army led by Huang Zhong who caused a fire to the Yellow Turban Army.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Huang Zhong took his 1,000 men and horses and sneaked to a bare hill near the Yellow Turban Army camp.

Originally, this hill was also covered with trees, but Guan Hai cut down all the trees on it in order to prevent the camp from being attacked by the enemy.

The bow used by Huang Zhong's thousand men and horses is not an ordinary bow, but a medieval British longbow made by Li Yi through the manufacturing process of the bow and arrow of later generations exchanged through the "Three Kingdoms 2018 System". This is one of the most powerful bows and arrows in human history.

In the 13th century, England vigorously developed the bow and arrow army, and gradually changed the bow to replace the crossbow with the longbow.

The English longbow was made from elm, stick and basil wood, and later mainly from yew wood. The best yew wood is not grown in England, but is imported from Italy and Spain. The length of the longbow is 6 feet, and the length of the arrow is 3 feet. The middle of the bow is 1.5 inches wide and tapers toward the ends. The ends of the bow are upholstered with horns. The front part of the bow frame is round, and the back is flat.

The longbow has twice the range of the crossbow (up to 400 yards, with an effective range of nearly 250 yards) and has a much higher rate of archery (10 to 12 arrows per minute). In the hands of skilled British soldiers, the longbow had a significantly higher hit rate than the crossbow.

And it also has the advantage of being lighter, easier to master, and suitable for skirmishers or salvos. At the time, it was the most effective and versatile individual weapon on the battlefield.

The disadvantage of the longbow is that the bow is too hard, the technical requirements are high, and it must be mastered by long-trained archers.

But these are not too harsh conditions for Li Yi's personal guard iron cavalry, who is already good at shooting. Under the leadership of Huang Zhong, it only took half a month for them to master this way of shooting with a strong bow.

And tonight's battle. It was the first time they had used this type of bow and arrow to go into battle.

With the advantage of being located on a high ground and the advantage of launching downwind, Huang Zhong expanded the range of his strongbow troops to five hundred meters, that is, more than a mile away.

Of course, this is also because there are companies and battalions of the Yellow Turban Army everywhere under the mountain, and there is no need to pay attention to any shooting accuracy at all. All you need to do is shoot the rockets one by one.

Under the command of Huang Zhong, a thousand strong bow troops caused great chaos in the camp of the Guanhai army.

………………

"Don't run away, pass on my orders, prepare to fight back, violators will be killed!" Guan Hai kicked over a minion who had run in front of him, and grabbed another one.

He was cut out solidly, and there were officials and soldiers, heroes, people, and many colleagues who died under his sword.

The killing of officers and soldiers is to resist; Kill Haoqiang for revenge; Kill the people for plunder; Killing fellow people is for self-preservation and fighting for power!

Therefore, he has always been very prestigious in the army. Not to mention the minions, even Sima Ju, Xu He, Wu Ba and Guan Cheng are very generous, they all value him very much, not only promised him a heavy reward to participate in the grand event, but also shared a lot of very confidential information with him.

However, at the moment of life and death, who cares about this? No one paid attention to Guan Hai, even the little minion who was grabbed by his neck. They all struggled hard, leaving the only coat to his Qu Shuai. Without looking back, he ran into the depths of the darkness, only his bare buttocks, slightly reflecting the firelight, like a firefly flying away.

"Stop! I'm your Qu Shuai! Listen to my orders and kill back! There are only 1,800 cavalry outside, and the cavalry of the Northern Frontier Army is just that! Kill them. Duchang will surrender, and when the time comes, you can have fun in the city, and then let's fight the world together and build a peaceful world that will never starve! ”

Guan Hai roared like crazy, and the war knife in his hand was already stained with blood. Several disobedient minions died under his sword. However, the rout did not end, and the only effect of Guan Hai's actions was to empty a large chunk around him, and at the same time, make the panic real.

The routs avoided this madman-like killing god from a distance, and shouted as they fled: "The hussar general is here, it's the hussar general!" ”

"There are a lot of cavalry, like evil spirits!"

"The thieves are finished, don't send them to death with you!"

"Don't take weapons, the soldiers and horses of the hussar general are the army of benevolence and righteousness, only kill thieves, not good people!"

"Run...... Run! ”

……

Guan Hai only felt a heat in his throat, and a smell of blood lingered in his throat.

He finally remembered that the camp was not full of minions who had followed him for many years, but also many ordinary people who had just been coerced in.

According to the normal law, these new recruits are reluctant at first, but over time, these victims will become just like the former perpetrators, accustomed to looting, to fighting, to slaughter......

People are very adaptable.

However, Guan Hai's time to raise troops this time is too short, and the results of the battle are only a county town in Zhuxu, and the emotions of these victims are not very stable, and they yearn for a peaceful life day and night, rather than wielding knives and guns to create a peaceful world.

Usually there will be nothing to do, these people drag their families with them, they can't escape far if they want to, and they can't escape if they do, but now, when the thief army under the banner of the Yellow Turban is facing annihilation, scattering and fleeing is their only choice.

The most important thing is that there are an unknown number of spies among these people!

Damn Li Pengfei, he is so scheming, before the surprise attack, he also arranged spies, which is obviously not a way to live!

Guan Hai swallowed the blood that gushed into his throat in one gulp, turned over and returned to the camp, he hadn't lost yet, and he couldn't admit defeat!

He became a yellow turban from this spring. Before that, he was a bandit with his brother Guan Cheng, and once wandered between Taishan thieves and Qingzhou thieves.

After nearly ten years of banditry career, many of his minions are the first batch of victims of the disaster, and after nearly ten years of banditry career, they have all changed from honest and harmless people to murderous bandits.

There were 3,000 people in this team, and even if some were scattered in the turmoil, the rest would be enough to fight the cavalry of the Northern Frontier.

Sima Ju's intelligence source was very reliable, and he began to feel uneasy, and sent people to infiltrate various counties in Yanzhou to verify them separately. Intelligence shows that Li Yi brought only about 6,000 cavalry to Mount Tai, and Gongsun Zhan still has 10,000 cavalry.

And it is obvious that it is impossible for Li Yi to send all these cavalry to Duchang City, because the number of troops is large, the target is big, and I am afraid that before he arrives in Duchang City, he will already be surrounded by Sima Ju's men and horses.

Although most of them were homeless, Sima Ju's men had gathered hundreds of thousands of people after all, and there were nearly 300,000 young and strong people who were really able to fight. With so many people, if they are surrounded, it is really impossible to escape.

With Li Yi's current status, he will never come in person, let alone send too many people to come.

As long as Li Yi himself does not come in person, no matter how powerful the soldiers in the northern Xinjiang are, what is there to fear?

Guan Hai's intelligence sources are indeed very accurate, and the cavalry that launched the battle of the assault camp was only 2,000 people.

Li Yi sent a total of 3,000 cavalry to Beihai to rescue Kong Rong, of which Huang Zhong's 1,000 sniper archery troops had other tasks and did not participate in the assault on the Yellow Turban Army camp. Only Tai Shici's 1,000 cavalry and Wei Yan's 1,000 cavalry really participated in the assault.

Two thousand against fifty thousand, completely not relying on the response of the city, this plan seems crazy, but Tai Shi Ci is enthusiastic, if you want to fight, you should fight this kind of big battle to be majestic enough, and the credit is also great.

In the ordinary army, the generals and colonels may have a lot of objections, but in the Northern Xinjiang Army, such a thing will never occur.

The Northern Xinjiang Army is this style, followed by a domineering lord, what battle do they dare not fight?

An army of 50,000 thieves? It's just a rabble of local chickens and dogs, and it's flat with a wave of your hand.

"Let's start bursting, don't give them a chance to regroup!"

After observing for a while, he determined the chaos of the enemy army, Tai Shi Ci couldn't hold it anymore, he jumped his horse and crossed the fence first.

"Uh......h Woo...... Woo! ”

The herald sounded the horn, and the two thousand light horsemen, under the command of Tai Shi Ci and Wei Yan, were divided into forty squads in units of fifty people, half of which chased behind the main general Tai Shi Ci, and the other half followed Wei Yan, forming two sharp arrows and advancing into the depths of the enemy camp.

Some of the squads were armed with torches and knives, and the other were armed with bows and arrows.

The bearer draws his arrow, lights it on the torch in his companion's hand, and then fires his bow and arrows, sending countless burning meteors into the depths of the sky, turning into a rain of meteors and fire, bringing a new round of disaster.

The wind fuels the fire, the fire borrows the power of the wind, and the raging fire illuminates the sky, like a red sun rising on the ground.

The fire began to spread to the depths of the company camp, and on the side of the continuous sea of fire, there were thieves running wolf and people who were being coerced into the gang.

On the other side, teams of ghostly cavalry loomed in the firelight. I can't see any flags, and the only one who can identify the other party is the black clothes and black armor.

"Hussar guards!" The panic intensified further.

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the first year of Zhongping, Li Yi's achievements that shocked the world have always been accompanied by the shadow of his personal guard iron horse, this personal guard iron horse is black clothes and black armor.

Ping the Yellow Turban, Ding Liaodong, defeated Liaodong Zhuhu, conquered the Xianbei steppe, this iron cavalry has always been active in the most dangerous places on the battlefield, with the blood of the enemy to forge their immortal prestige.

Because of the appearance of this legendary cavalry, the resistance of the Yellow Turban Army was very weak, and among the few recers, there were only a small number of outlaw bandits, most of whom were routs who were stunned by the darkness and fire, and could not distinguish between things and collide.

These people could not form an effective resistance, and a few of them died under the swords and lances, and many more did not even see the faces of the iron horsemen of the northern frontier.

The hussar guard's archery skills are not ordinarily exquisite, and even in the dark of night, they are frighteningly accurate. The minions don't have the privilege of wearing armor like Guan Hai, the commander of the Qu Army, and the feather arrows that pose a mortal threat to the regular army are shot at them one by one.
