Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 599 Different general skills

At this time, Huang Cheng, with some troops, had secretly taken advantage of the night to explore about eight miles outside Xianbei's camp.

Eight miles is a relatively suitable distance. If you find a small higher soil bag, you can see the fire at the camp, but it won't be noticed by Xianbei's night patrol.

Under normal circumstances, for the sake of safety, most of the night posts set up watchtowers. Large-scale and blatant enemy troops can basically be found ten miles away. I don't want to be able to go very far, otherwise the gap between them will be too big, so at night, the range of riding is mostly about three to five miles.

There are advantages to the dark night, but there are also disadvantages.

When marching at night, you can't bring too many people. If there are too many people, it will inevitably be inconvenient to command. Therefore, Huang Cheng only brought about [-] soldiers. Although these [-] soldiers may not be called fierce soldiers, they are said to be There is nothing wrong with the elite soldiers. No matter in terms of physical fitness, equipment or skills, these soldiers are far beyond ordinary peasant soldiers.

But it is a pity that it is not an easy task to form such a strong soldier. First of all, three meals a day are enough to make people unbearable. Spears, crossbows, ring swords, small round iron shields, and some odds and ends, the value of the entire equipment of such a soldier, if replaced with some ordinary equipment, at least three or five peasant soldiers can be assembled...

But relatively speaking, at some special times, the comparison between elite soldiers and peasant soldiers is simply a world of difference, just like now, without Huang Cheng's order, and without special explanation, the five hundred soldiers are like silent statues , everyone was waiting silently, under the cover of the night, if it wasn't approaching, they wouldn't even notice that there were people here.

Just like a gambler waiting for the cards to be revealed, Huang Cheng is also quietly waiting...

In the quiet night, apart from the sound of the wind in my ears, the only sound seemed to be the beating of my own heart. I was a little apprehensive, but also a little expectant.

Regrettably, after Huang Cheng and Fei Qian came to Bingzhou, they found that although they were strong in force, they could basically fight around Ma Yan and Xu Huang if they fought on foot, but if they were on horses, let alone Ma Yan, even It was very difficult for Xu Huang to catch the three axes, and the same was true for leading the cavalry. He was born in Jingxiang, and he rarely touched horses since he was a child. Although he is working hard to learn now, even compared with Xu Huang, he is still a little worse...

There is no way, maybe I can't keep up with Ma Yan and others in terms of cavalry, but in terms of infantry, no one can surpass me!

Just when Huang Cheng was a little distracted, suddenly there was a commotion in the Xianbei camp, messy figures swayed, and there were more fires. Gradually, the whole camp became chaotic, and the sound of people shouting and neighing could be heard even eight miles away. Huang Cheng thought it was quite big after hearing it...

"Haha! It's done!" Huang Cheng clapped his hands happily.If it is said that standing behind is the elite soldiers taught by myself, then those who sneaked into the Xianbei camp are the elites of my own men. Now that the Xianbei camp is suddenly in chaos, it is undoubtedly my elites who have succeeded!
"Come on! Light up the torches to build momentum!" Huang Cheng gave an order, and immediately the 500 people behind him lit the torches that had been prepared a long time ago. In fact, there were not many. There were only three torches per person, and two were made of wood. The sticks were tied and inserted in the distance behind them, and one was held by themselves, and they stood apart from each other, as if a huge team appeared here suddenly.

Naturally, Gong Jun and the others could see such a huge formation, and quickly turned their horses' heads and ran over here.

I have to say that the herds of the horses on the prairie are very good. Seeing the leading horses in front turn around, the horses in the back almost didn't have to shout anymore, and they followed suit. ...

Huang Cheng didn't say much nonsense, and on the one hand ordered Gong Jun to retreat around the edge of the formation, and on the other hand ordered his soldiers to prepare to meet the Xianbei pursuers following Gong Jun.

Although Gong Jun is pretending to be a Xianbei, he is not a Xianbei after all. The horse he is riding now is frightened, and he just knows how to run after him at a loss. Instead, they will run back with Gong Jun and others...

Huang Cheng raised his fist high and ordered the soldiers to form a dense formation. Suddenly, an inexplicable thought arose in his heart. Was the Han army also forming formations to fight against the barbarians' cavalry just like himself?

Xianbei's pursuers arrived in an instant. This army was not actually sent by the big household, but just happened to be a tribe in the camp. When Gong Jun passed by, Qian Qichang recognized some horses as Those who belonged to their own tribe subconsciously led people to chase them out, and suddenly found a large area of ​​torches in front of them, and the Xianbei cavalry who were chasing could not help slowing down their horses hesitantly...

"Throw torches! Bows and crossbows ready!" Huang Cheng ordered.

Immediately, the soldier threw the torch in his hand far away in the direction of Xianbei's chasing soldiers, and his figure suddenly became a little blurred under the cover of the night.

Xianbei Qianqichang looked at the dark figure nearby, frowned and looked at the torches in the distance, hesitated for a moment, and ordered one of the hundred commanders under his command to lead a wave of people to take a look first...

Huang Cheng had already untied the longbow from his body, and lightly pulled the bowstring to try it out. Looking at the Xianbei people looming in the firelight, he couldn't help but smile, yes, slow down the horse under unknown circumstances, Sending people to test is the best choice, but it also loses one of the strongest aspects of cavalry.

Huang Cheng couldn't learn Huang Zhong's one bow and three arrows, but Huang Cheng also had his own method. Under his feet, there were about ten arrows that were shallowly stuck in the soil and lined up.

The Xianbei cavalry also knew that it was extremely dangerous to be exposed to the light of the torches, so most of them lowered their bodies, and there were a few who thought they were agile and hung on the side of the horse's belly, using their swords in their hands to pick those horses. Scattered torches on the ground...

Huang Cheng took an arrow and set it on, took aim for a while, and then shouted loudly: "Shoot!"

The snow-white arrow feathers drew a nearly straight line in the night, and then stopped on the body of a Xianbei cavalry. The huge impact force produced by the three-stone strong bow immediately shot down the Xianbei cavalry under the horse!

But ordinary archers are not as powerful as Huang Cheng. Although some Xianbei cavalry were shot by archers, they still gritted their teeth and charged forward with arrows!

There was a "bang" sound different from bowstrings, and immediately there was a sound like fried beans, and rows of crossbow arrows shot out angrily...

　Xianbei people.

　　Later, there were two big tribes, one was Murong, the other was Tuoba...

　　It's the one in Tianlong...

　　In the north of Xianbei, a new tribe appeared, Dingling, also called Gaoche, Tiele...

　　At the place where Asia and Europe meet, there are still some remnants of the original Northern Huns...
