Chapter 221 The Battle of Hulao Pass (25)

clatter!clatter!clatter! 200 meters!clatter!clatter!clatter! 100 metres!clatter!clatter!clatter!The distance between the two armies was only the last 50 meters.At this moment, Zhao Lei raised his rainstorm gun and roared loudly at the Yangzhou army behind him: "Yangzhou army, launch a volley! Shoot these Xiliang soldiers who are chasing them to death, they all deserve to die!"

When the Xiliang army was about to catch up to the front of the Yangzhou army, they saw thousands of arrows shooting towards their front door like snowflakes flying all over the sky.Seeing this scene, Lu Bu immediately reined in the reins and stopped the mount from moving forward, while he swung Fang Tian's painted halberd to block, pushing away all the flying arrows one by one.However, other soldiers of the Xiliang Army did not have such good martial arts and reactions. Some soldiers of the Xiliang Army who rushed to the front were shot into hedgehogs, and their bodies were covered from head to toe with flying arrows. up.Seeing the situation ahead, the soldiers at the back stopped in their tracks, feeling fear in their hearts.At this moment, Lu Bu roared again, "What are you afraid of? Does this attack scare you? The soldiers of the Xiliang Army are all brave. Are we afraid of Zhao Lei's gang of mobs? Come on!"

Encouraged by Lu Bu, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army mustered up their courage again and rushed towards the Yangzhou Army.

Seeing that under such a powerful wave of arrows, not only did the Xiliang Army's morale not panic, but instead pursued them again, Zhao Lei was somewhat surprised.However, Zhao Lei didn't have time to waste time with the Xiliang Army. If Li Jue's troops came back, they would really be surrounded.So Zhao Lei ordered again: "Cavalry prepare, shoot! Infantry prepare, scatter!"

This time, after hearing Zhao Lei's order, the soldiers in the Yangzhou Army divided into two formations. The cavalry stood at the back of the formation, while the infantry formed a trapezoidal formation and started the second wave of shooting .

"Wen Hou, here, what kind of tactics is Zhao Lei using?" Zhang Ji followed Lu Bu, looking at the formation of the Yangzhou Army in front of him, he felt very strange. Zhang Ji had never seen these formations and tactics in military books. Pass.

I saw that the infantry of the Yangzhou Army began to scatter here at this time. Different from the previous volley, the bows and arrows scattered were dense and covered a large area. They could not only attack the front army of the Xiliang Army, but also attack the central army. s position.The cavalry in the rear began to cross and run left and right, 50 meters back and forth. While running, each cavalry also shot towards Lu Bu's army with bows and arrows.With the impact of cavalry, the power of bows and arrows is greater than that of infantry.Under such a high-intensity blow, the Xiliang Army suffered serious losses both in confidence and in numbers.

At this time, Zhang Ji pushed aside the flying arrows and shouted at Lu Bu: "Hou Wen, it seems that Zhao Lei has prepared to prevent us from chasing. If this continues, our losses will be great."

Hearing Zhang Ji's words, Lu Bu gritted his teeth, raised Fang Tian's painted halberd and slammed it forcefully on the ground, making a small hole in the ground to express his extreme dissatisfaction and anger.When he was young, he said slowly: "Retreat! It is not appropriate to chase too much!"''

After Lu Bu gave the order, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army finally breathed a sigh of relief.Under the blow of Zhao Lei's arrow rain.Everyone retreated towards Hulaoguan with a heart like an arrow, and the speed of this retreat was much faster than the speed of their pursuit.

After seeing Lu Bu's army retreat, the atmosphere on Zhao Lei's side also relaxed a lot.Zhao Yun said to Zhao Lei at this moment: "Brother, fortunately Lu Bu has retreated. If he dares to charge up again, I'm afraid we will have to fight these Xiliang troops head-on. In the previous shooting, the bows and arrows we brought were almost gone. Almost finished!"

Zhao Lei waved his hand and said with a smile: "I don't care about bows and arrows, as long as you have money, you can make them. However, the combat effectiveness and coordination of an army cannot be cultivated by money. Today I saw that Yangzhou soldiers have such I am very happy with the good cooperation and combat effectiveness. But it is just a fluke for us to win the Xiliang Army this time, because we won by relying on my bow and arrow array. The cavalry of the Xiliang Army is still very good in terms of combat effectiveness Strong, their cavalry did not have any casualties under our powerful arrow rain attack, most of the dead were some infantry. Therefore, it is imperative to form a cavalry as strong as the Xiliang Army. " Zhao Lei said.

"Isn't our army's stone barracks just a type of cavalry?" Zhao Yun asked after hearing what Zhao Lei said.

"No, although the Shi Junying led by Wen Yuan is a cavalry unit, they are also the special forces of our Yangzhou Army. This kind of soldier is good at all kinds of battles. The cavalry I want to form is just cavalry. Fight on the plains. If we want to conquer the Central Plains in the future, it is absolutely impossible without an excellent cavalry." Zhao Lei sighed, although the Yangzhou Army won the victory today, the bravery of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry still left a deep impression on Zhao Lei impression.

"But we are located in Yangzhou, and there are so many navy troops in the south of the Yangtze River! It may not be easy to train cavalry on a large scale!" Zhao Yun said.

"So, this task still has a long way to go!" Zhao Lei sighed, and continued: "Okay, the Xiliang army has retreated, so let's retreat too! Order to detour back to the camp to avoid chasing Yuan Shao later. meet Li Jue."

"No!" Zhao Yun said, and Zhao Yun waved his hand, signaling the army to detour.

Zhao Lei looked up at this moment, the sunset in the sky had already set halfway up the mountainside, and today's battle at Hulao Pass lasted a whole day.When the battle was over, Zhao Lei realized that his whole body was sore and sleepy.However, he suddenly thought of Lin Chun who had sacrificed for himself today, and the sorrow he had suppressed in his heart flooded his heart again. He ordered to speed up the march and ordered the army to return to the camp as soon as possible to meet the baptism of grief.
