The World of Yellow Sky

He never wanted to be an official or general, never thought about ascending to any high position.

Unlike the proud and ambitious Han Zheng, he never had that kind of thought. He just wanted to live his life in peace.

But the clan pushed him to this position, and he couldn't resist. As an individual, it was really hard for him to refuse the clan's request.

The Son of Heaven represents the sky, and the Son of Heaven is the heaven of all people in the world.

And the clan in this era is also heaven, another heaven.

He was born in the Han family and enjoyed wealth, but this wealth also came with a price.

When the clan needs them, they have no way to resist. They enjoy the benefits brought by the clan, so naturally they are not qualified to say no.

The battle has reached a fever pitch, and the soldiers on both sides are like crazy demons, desperately slashing their weapons at the enemies ahead. They come from all directions, and come to this battlefield to fight with those they have never lived before. Fighting to the death, many of them don't even know why they are fighting this battle, and what they are fighting for.

The sound of fighting in front gradually subsided, Han Qing looked ahead calmly, those soldiers who followed him from Yingchuan all the way to Pengcheng fell in front of him.

The nine retainers sent by the clan to protect him were all killed, and he couldn't even find their bodies.

In front of them are swarms of ferocious generals of the Han army.

But beside him, there were only four or five personal guards still guarding him.

The others either fled or died...

look up.

The black warriors of the Han army are swarming in with cold sharp knives in their hands.

The dense and hasty footsteps sounded like a signal from the underworld envoy urging him to die.

The cries of the waves were higher than the waves, like thunder resounding from the nine heavens.

Han Qing slowly raised the ring head knife in his hand and looked ahead, he was ready to die.

Although there were too many deviations from what he had expected, the outcome has been decided by now.

"kill!

! ”

Han Qing held the ring-shou knife and roared angrily. He brought the last few guards who could still stand beside him, and wanted to launch a final charge.

But at this moment, a dull sound of hooves suddenly appeared behind him.

Han Qing felt that the place he was standing on seemed to be shaking, and he had the illusion of being unstable.

Those murderous soldiers of the Han army who were less than three or four steps away in front of the Tals seemed to have been cast with a slowing spell. All movements were slowed down, and the ring-shoulders and spears in their hands were frozen. In mid-air.

All of their faces were full of fear.

Han Qing was sure that he was not mistaken, and he had already woken up from the slap of the spear before.

Originally, the eyes of the soldiers of the Han army who were rushing straight were all focused on him, but now the eyes of the soldiers of the Han army were all above him.

Not far away, Cheng Yu's expression changed drastically, and his eyes were full of fear.

The situation is complicated, but all of this actually only happened in the blink of an eye.

Han Qing raised his head subconsciously and looked up.

A shadow just appeared above his head at this moment, blocking all his vision.

Han Qing saw the scene in front of him clearly, it was a pure white war horse leaping high above his head.

And on the back of the war horse, a general in bright silver armor leaned back slightly, holding the reins and holding a gun, sitting on the saddle.

"Whoosh-" "Whoosh-" "Whoosh-"

Han Qing's expression changed slightly, he recognized the source of the sound, it was the sound made when the arrow pierced the air, sharp and hasty.

More than a dozen sharp arrows shot towards Han Qing in a hurry, and a few of them almost brushed past Han Qing's helmet, and shot fiercely into the formation of the Han army in front of him.

The few Han soldiers holding long spears in the front did not react at all, and were directly shot down to the ground by the flying feather arrows.

And in the next moment, the war horse had already fallen into the crowd of the Han army.

Han Qing was still immersed in the previous scene, but what happened next made Han Qing completely stunned.

The white rainbow appeared, and in an instant, countless spears bloomed. It was obviously a simple and unpretentious long spear, which was as nimble as a dragon in the hands of the silver-armored warrior.

Wherever spears and dragons go, spears, spears and halberds are cut off endlessly, and soldiers and military academies are all invincible.

"Get out of the way!"

The sound of horseshoes sounded again behind him, followed by a loud shout.

The horseshoes sounded like thunder, and Han Qing even felt a little delusional, feeling that this section of the city wall might collapse because of such a vibration.

Han Qing subconsciously retreated towards the crenel on one side of the city wall, and several personal guards moved closer to the side without the slightest hesitation.

In the next moment, more than a dozen cavalry came galloping on their horses. They drove their horses and charged towards the broken Han army formation on the city wall with their lances in hand.

"ended……"

Han Qing stared blankly at everything in front of him.

Those cavalrymen all had ochre-yellow marks on their bodies, which were the marks of the Ming army.

These cavalry who rushed up the city wall and arrived at the critical moment were the cavalry of the Ming army.

Han Qing rubbed his eyes, he couldn't believe it.

The soldiers of the Han army who had driven him into a desperate situation were running away on the city wall like a bereaved dog.

The cavalry of the Ming army were like sheep among wolves, and killing the Han army was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.

"Can't go back!"

"Those who quit without permission, die!"

Cheng Yu's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. He held the ring head knife and beheaded several retreating generals one after another, but no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't save the defeat.

The defeat is like a mountain falling.

Cheng Yu's eyes were about to split open, and he growled like a wounded beast, trying his best to stop the defeated army.

But at this moment, he felt a coldness, the hand holding the ring head knife froze in place, and a long gun was already resting on his neck.

Cheng Yu's body was stiff, and he turned his head slowly, raised his head and followed the spear, looking directly at the owner of the spear.

A pair of cold, emotionless eyes appeared in front of his eyes.

"Who are you?"

Cheng Yu's eyes flickered. He had heard that there were so many fighting generals in the Ming army, and that the brave ones were unstoppable. Among the thousands of troops, he could take the head of a general. He wanted to know who this person was who made his plan fall short.

"Chang Shan."

"Zhao Zilong."

…………

"stop------"

The unique whistle of the Ming army resounded over the walls of Pengcheng.

Tai Shici was refreshed, this was the signal he had agreed with Zhao Yun, he looked up to the city wall, and he saw a swaying ochre-yellow banner.

"Enter the city!"

Taishi Ci jumped on his horse and swung his whip, and galloped out first, shouting orders loudly.

Following Tai Shici's order, the continuous sound of whistles sounded one after another in the cavalry formation of the Ming army.

More than [-] cavalrymen of the Ming army outside the city rode their horses and swung their whips, and followed Tai Shici towards Pengcheng at a fast gallop.

These horses are only used for transportation, they are actually infantry, and there is no need to save horsepower at this time.

In an instant, the sound of rumbling horseshoes sounded outside Pengcheng, and they rushed towards the center of Pengcheng.

There was a huge noise outside the city, so it was impossible to hide it from the eyes and ears of everyone in the city.

On the city wall, except for those Han troops who had already fled, the rest of the generals all abandoned their troops and knelt down and chose to surrender.

Cheng Yu looked at the group of cavalry who were galloping outside the city, and he knew that everything was over.

Cheng Yu's heart turned a thousand times, he let out a long sigh, closed his eyes, and dropped the weapon in his hand.

He didn't kneel on the ground, but his actions also meant that he gave up any unnecessary resistance.

He had tried his best, but it was all to no avail.

The destruction of the city is not a crime of war, but the transfer of people's hearts, the change of destiny, and the general situation is difficult...

That being the case, there is no need to disobey the destiny.

Whether Cheng Yu surrendered or gave up resistance, in fact, could no longer affect Pengcheng's ending.

Tai Shici had already led people into the city. He left [-] soldiers and horses and handed them over to Zhao Yun to take over the defense of the north gate. Simon.

Although Pengcheng is broken, everything is not over.

Liu Xie is not in Pengcheng, and the main force of the Han army is in the southwest.

Now that the Han army has set up a company battalion, they can help each other, support each other, and gain a favorable location.

Then after their central Pengcheng is disintegrated, they will surely suffer the consequences.

The southwestern battalion of the Han army was connected with Pengcheng, and Tai Shici's purpose of continuing to march was to drive the rout of Pengcheng to attack the southwest battalion of the Han army.

Chapter 895

Sun Jing's eyes were serious. Although his face was normal, his heart was extremely heavy.

Just two quarters of an hour ago, he had just received the news that the Jiuli Mountain camp had been broken and that Ji Ling was alive or dead.

He immediately sent a team to Pengcheng, just to stabilize Pengcheng and defend the four villages.

Jiuli Mountain was lost, the northern barrier was lost, and Pengcheng was the first to bear the brunt. Sun Jing couldn't understand what happened to those Xiangyongs.

Facing the Ming army's attack, it might be difficult to stabilize those Xiangyong with the thousands of regular troops under Cheng Yu's command.

He also received the news that the Ming army sent two ten thousand cavalry. One cavalry seemed to be preparing to attack Beizhai, while the other seemed to want to go around to the west of the Southwest Company Battalion and cut off their way back.

Facing the situation that the Ming army might cut off his retreat, he had no solution.

Cavalry is the king of field battles. If you want to win cavalry with infantry in field battles, the quality requirements for infantry are extremely high.

And even if you win, it's useless, because there is no way to pursue it.

If an army has only pure infantry facing cavalry in field battles, it will often be defeated by the cavalry in mobile warfare, and will be slaughtered by the chasing cavalry after the final collapse.

Although the shooting range of the step bow is farther than that of the riding bow, the maneuverability of the riding bow is several times higher than that of the step archer. If the level of training is not enough, many times when the riding bow has already shot a round and runs away, The infantry archer only shot a counterattack arrow and missed.

Relying on crossbows and tight formations, the infantry can last for a while, preventing the cavalry from attacking, but these require physical strength. Once the infantry is exhausted, the cavalry can easily defeat the infantry at this time.

In the Battle of Shuofang, the reason why Xu An was able to defeat the Southern Huns was because Xu An pushed the Southern Huns to a desperate situation by encircling them from all sides.

In order to protect the old, weak, women and children among the tribe, the Southern Huns could only put all their eggs in one basket and fight the Yellow Turban Army at that time.

And at that time, Xu An was not only infantry, Xu An held two cavalry in his hands, the Xiaoqi Battalion and the Duliao Battalion.

In order to win the battle of Shuofang, Xu An concentrated all the Jiawei weapons under his command at that time, and replaced the equipment of the Xiaoqi Battalion and Du Liao Battalion with the best equipment in the entire Yellow Turban Army, and even handed over some of the Yellow Angels. Armed himself.

However, now Sun Jing has only three thousand cavalry in total, and even if he adds the orderly soldiers and the other generals' personal guard cavalry, he can only gather more than five thousand cavalry at most.

The [-]-odd cavalry that were pieced together were about the same combat power as the Xiaoqi Battalion in the Shuofang Battle.

But their opponent was not the Southern Huns who didn't even have a few pairs of iron armor, but the elite cavalry of the Ming army who wore sleeve armor and arm armor with iron rings on their arms.

The Ming army occupied the horse farms in the north, completely monopolized the source of war horses, and even went to the western regions to continuously improve the horse breeds in the north.

According to the report of the embroidered clothes envoy, the Ming army now has an elite cavalry with both men and horses wearing heavy armor. It's even more terrifying.

Most of the cavalry vests of the tiger and leopard cavalry protect the vital points, and the rest are joint protection, while the knights wear cavalry double armor and ordinary iron armor underneath.

But the armor worn by the heavy armored cavalry in the Ming army today is similar in appearance to the armor of the Yellow Angel.

War horses are not only fortified at key positions, but also like wearing horse clothes, wearing a vest.

The people and horses are well equipped, like moving iron towers.

The pressure the Ming army put on him was like a mountain.

Make bricks without straw.
