Only by clenching your fist tightly will you be more powerful when punching out.
Tang Yi understood this truth very well, so he made the wisest decision at the first time.
Soon, 1,500 tiger soldiers gathered around Tang Yi.
Enemy troops from three sides are slowly approaching the county town not far away, and they will form an encirclement there in about a quarter of an hour.
Judging from the feedback from subordinates, the situation is not optimistic. Not to mention whether the opponent's military appearance is clean and tidy, whether it is an elite force or a ragtag group, the number of people on the opponent's side is actually very scary.
The number of enemy troops in these three groups is estimated to exceed 10,000, and their momentum is very large.
Even now, Tang Yi is still not too worried about Zhao Yun.
In the land of Bingzhou, it is a joke to say that anyone can organize a more elite soldier than Zhao Yun.
That proves that Zhao Yun, the general of Bingzhou, and Guo Jia, the great military advisor, have neglected their duties to the point of losing their minds.
Therefore, these encircling armies are and can only be a group of improvised rebel armies or civilians.
Not to mention three times, the number of soldiers already exceeds five times that of Zhao Yun's soldiers. Zhao Yun can already kill the opponent's shit in a field battle without worrying about the possibility of the opponent gaining momentum.
Moreover, although that county is just an ordinary county with weak hardware conditions, it still has some innate advantages. With Zhao Yun's military skills, he should have his own way of blocking the enemy.
Taking advantage of the fact that the other party has not yet encircled the county, Tang Yi now has two choices.
It's nothing more than retreating and watching the changes, or going on to defend the enemy with Zhao Yun.
Tang Yi chose the latter.
But she did not choose to return to Shangdang. Instead, she led the Huben battalion to stand on the official road a few kilometers away from the county seat and wait and see what happened.
Shangdang County in the east is the only gap in the encirclement. The enemy troops who appear from nowhere will naturally not let this place go. It seems that these people do not intend to let anyone escape from the county, even if they pay a greater price. , and also want to eat all of Zhao Yun.
Tang Yi sneered a little, where did these people get their confidence?
The original attackers in the county suddenly changed their roles and became defenders. Zhao Yun did not expect this to happen, so his reaction was a bit slow. When the opponent completed the encirclement, there was still no major movement in the county.
At least Tang Yi has no way of knowing.
Tang Yi was thinking about major events in the county before deciding. He guessed that Zhao Yun had not yet had time to appease the soldiers and civilians, so he sympathized with his plight.
Even if you don't have to worry about winning or losing, thinking about it will still make you a little anxious.
The rebels obviously would not ignore the more than a thousand cavalry troops on Tang Yi's side, so at the same time as they completed the encirclement, a roughly equal number of infantrymen pressed towards her along the road.
At the same time, loud shouts of killing came, and it seemed that the siege had begun again.
Only this time the defender was replaced by Zhao Yun.
Although Tang Yi didn't pay much attention to the enemy, she still felt a little bit dry in her heart, which proved that she actually felt that something was wrong about this matter.
She ordered softly: "Send the detective horse out to see what these people are like."
"Here!"
In an instant, several war horses came out of the queue, and one rider, Juechen, rushed towards the opponent.
The mission of these horse scouts is very simple. Take a look at the opponent from a distance, whether the equipment is standard and unified, whether the military appearance is neat, what the status of the soldiers is, and whether there are different organized arms cooperating with each other. Based on these things, you can basically judge the enemy. The quality of the army must be well known when responding to the enemy.
Whether it was from Guo Jia's secret letter or from Feng Jia, the chief secretary of Shangdang, they paid no attention to the rebel who appeared in Shangdang County.
Judging only from the available information, this rebel is indeed not qualified to attract any attention from Zhao Yun and Tang Yi.
Then the question becomes, including the thousands of enemy troops in the county, the total number of enemies is close to 40,000. Where did they come from? Why has no one discovered such a powerful force?
Tan Ma quickly came to report that they were a ragtag group of people with all kinds of equipment. The battle formation was even more scattered and they didn't even have decent standard armor.
However, they did have yellow scarves tied on their arms, but they were tied on both their left and right arms. They were different from the elite Yellow Turban Army soldiers they had seen before.
That's just a group of stragglers.
Tang Yi thought silently and issued an order: "Everyone gather and prepare to charge. Don't be reluctant to fight. Kill as many as you can. After two waves of charges, return here."
When the numbers of the enemy and ourselves are balanced, the neat cavalry facing these rabble can smash the opponent's formation into pieces with just one charge. After breaking up the opponent's formation, they can turn around and complete the second wave of charge. Back to where you were.
After the soldiers responsible for resisting the Huben camp on the other side broke away from their original army order, they were nothing more than a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered in front of Tang Yi.
Everyone in the Huben camp looked excited, thinking that after holding back for so long, there was a battle to fight.
The formation charged forward, like a sharp long arrow, and the arrow at the front of the long arrow, Tang Yi, dressed in military uniform and holding a long spear, looked domineering and unparalleled.
The distance between the two sides gradually narrowed. At this time, the Huben camp did not start charging with all its strength, and its speed was between jogging and brisk walking.
About one kilometer is the distance at which the war horse can achieve maximum impact when the two sides come into contact.
Now this is called a warm-up.
Finally, at a certain moment, Tang Yi raised the spear in his hand, and a clear shout resounded throughout the audience: "Charge!"
"kill!"
The war horse began to speed up and attack, getting faster and faster.
The bodies of the soldiers of the Huben Camp undulated slightly as the horses ran, but they were extremely stable. Only the white air constantly spurting out from the nose of the horses could prove how violent the attack was.
The distance between the two sides shortened instantly, and the soldiers of Huben Camp could clearly see the clothes of the rebels and even the slightly frightened expressions on their faces.
However, the soldiers of Huben Camp didn't know if it was an illusion in their own eyes. The expressions on those people's faces didn't seem to be fear, but... indifference?
Tang Yi looked stern, feeling that things were not simple.
However, as the saying goes, there is no turning back when the bow is fired. It is already too late to stop the horse now!
Tang Yi's face turned fierce and he shouted loudly: "Kill!"
The horse under the seat is a little faster.
The rebels had stopped long ago. When the soldiers in the front row saw the cavalry charging towards them, there was no trace of panic on their faces. They unhurriedly lifted up the door panels from behind.
No, it's a giant shield! A powerful weapon against light cavalry, the giant shield!
At the same time, all the infantry formations that had just seemed scattered took a big step towards the center.
As a result, what was just a pile of scattered sand suddenly turned into a condensed battle formation.
Not only that, those long spears that came out of nowhere stuck out from the gaps in the giant shield, pointing diagonally toward the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, like the spikes on a porcupine!
The number of long branches is simply outrageous!
Tang Yi felt a thump in her heart, knowing that she had been plotted by the other party.
However, she was not too worried about the situation of the Huben Camp. Even with this simple horse-rejection, it still had a limited impact on the charge of the Huben Camp. After all, these people were not heavy armored troops whose light cavalry were afraid of the news. They were indeed wearing The commoners could at most block the wave in front, and the following cavalry could still kill all the infantry.
What she is thinking now is, if this is the case here, what about Zhao Yun in the county?
The eyes of the leading rebels holding shields revealed ferocity, waiting for the huge impact that was about to be transmitted from the shields.
However, what confused them was that the impact did not arrive as promised, and it turned dark.
They looked up suddenly and saw a horse leaping over their heads and trampling on the soldiers behind them.
The huge weight and impact instantly caused the soldiers in the back row to let out extremely miserable howls. Along with the horrifying sound of broken muscles and bones, the battle between the two sides finally broke out!
Just as the warriors raised their shields and held their swords in a daze, huge impacts followed one after another!
Don’t underestimate Huben Camp!
All the soldiers of the Huben Army shouted the word "kill" in their mouths and charged towards the enemy without fear of death.
After crossing the front row of shield soldiers, they are still cutting melons and vegetables against these people!
However, the temporary change of formations of these rebel troops did bring unexpected losses to the Huben camp. In just this moment, more than 200 cavalrymen were blocked with shields and long spears, and were killed on the spot!
Tang Yi used the impact of the war horse to knock down several enemy soldiers in front of her. She opened and closed the spear in her hand, and with one sweep, a group of enemies flew out, instantly forming a vacuum around her.
"Don't be obsessed with fighting, charge!"
Tang Yi roared angrily, clamped the horse's belly, and continued to rush forward. The spear in her hand was like a swimming dragon. When the ordinary rebels came into contact, they were all killed by the huge impact. No one was killed on the spot. Her nemesis.
The Tigers and Ben troops from the rear were chasing after them. They were all men with outstanding fighting ability. They rode into the formation one by one as if they were in a deserted place. The amazing thing is that in such a chaotic environment, they can still maintain such order. The charge formation was actually not too messy.
On the other hand, the formations of the rebels were instantly scattered by the formation of more than a thousand people, and they could hardly organize any effective counterattacks and attacks. Under the high mobility of the war horses, they could only helplessly resist.
In just a quarter of an hour, Tang Yi and his Huben battalion "walked" around the enemy's battle formation.
In this battle, it was roughly estimated that the enemy's losses were twice as much as our own, and the casualties in the first section of the Huben Battalion actually reached 500!
If it were a battle between regular armies, the ratio of battle losses between the two sides would be completely acceptable, but these people are just a group of stragglers and rebels!
The Huben battalion turned around and prepared to charge again.
But as the commander-in-chief, Tang Yi hesitated at this moment.
