Three Kingdoms

Huang Cheng's slightly naive face was replaced with a smile. Huang Cheng didn't know the situation of the Xianbei cavalry in pacifying the county, but he understood that he needed to boost morale at this critical moment and let everyone see that he was still It's relaxing, and you can laugh, and use this to strengthen the soldiers' confidence and courage to persevere.

Huang Cheng raised his long sword high, waved it in the air, and then slammed it on the ground, attracting the attention of the soldiers.

Huang Cheng patrolled slowly for a week, took a deep breath, and shouted in a slightly hoarse voice: "Soldiers! Today we are here, facing enemies several times more than us! Today we are here Here, we want to tell these barbarians that the time for them to come and go freely is over! We are here today to announce to the world that in the land of Bingzhou, we Han people are back!"

All the soldiers held their breath and listened carefully to every word Huang Cheng said.

Huang Cheng's face turned red and the veins on his neck popped out. He pointed his long knife at the Xianbei people on the other side of the river and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Tell them! We Han people are back!"

Suddenly all the soldiers were flapping their weapons and howling along with Huang Cheng.

Huang Cheng looked very heroic and confident, but in fact he did not have much confidence in his heart. He noticed that not to mention the soldiers who were killed and injured in the battle with the Xianbei cavalry in front of the formation, only those soldiers who had not directly The archers and crossbowmen involved in melee combat have also begun to expose some problems.

Because of long-term use of bows, some archers' fingers have been cut by the bow strings and are dripping with blood. Some crossbowmen have broken strings or damaged parts during use, and some of them can no longer be used. Keep shooting...

The smile on Huang Cheng's face didn't change much. He glanced behind him secretly, but still didn't see any smoke. Then he squinted his eyes slightly, turned to look at the other side of the river, and stopped looking back.

Huang Cheng knew very well that although he had repelled three or four attacks by the Xianbei people, his disadvantage had not changed. There would be no sign of reinforcements for a while. Whether they could arrive in time was still unknown. , so now, the only one you can rely on is yourself.

If you want to continue to hold on, even until the final reinforcements arrive, the morale of your soldiers is very important. The Xianbei people will launch a more ferocious attack next, and if they lose their slightly advantageous position here, they will definitely be annihilated.

Although there may only be a few people who survive in the end, at least it is better than being hacked to death by the Xianbei people from behind during the escape. In other words, at least even if they die, they still have the backbone of the Han people!

The Xianbei Dadang household on the other side of the river frowned a little. Although he was far away, he didn't understand much of the Han language and didn't understand what the Han soldiers were shouting. However, Da Dang household knew in his heart that after several consecutive cavalry charges, Under the blow, the opponent's morale became even higher. On the other hand, the cavalry on their side were unable to attack for a long time and suffered casualties all over the place. It was inevitable that they would become impatient and lose morale.

This damn river beach!

Although there is not much water in autumn and it is not fast, it is soft mud after all, and the horses cannot go fast. In addition, the corpses of dead people and horses are crowded on the road. The thick blood and yellow mud combine together. Not to mention cavalry, even infantry will slip if they step on it accidentally...

No wonder the damn Han people put their battlefield choices here!

All cunning Han people deserve to die!

But no matter how happy you are, you are still just this person!

Just when Danghu was about to continue giving orders, a fast horse came from the north. In order not to collide with the Xianbei troops in formation, it even went around the shoal on one side. The horse's hooves stirred up waves in the shallow water. The splash of water immediately attracted the attention of most people.

"Dadanghu! The Han people are attacking Pingding! Please send reinforcements quickly!" The cavalryman who came to report the news got off his horse and knelt down in front of Dangdanghu. He was covered in dust, but sweat broke out into mud ditches on his face. His face was panicked, and it was obvious that the situation was not good.

"What?!" Da Danghu rushed forward and grabbed the cavalryman who reported the news, "How many Han people are there?"

"About a thousand riders, close to about two thousand..."

Da Danghu felt that the blood vessels on his forehead were about to burst. He gritted his teeth and said with a voice from between his teeth: "There are only two thousand Han people. When I left Pingding, there were at least four thousand people left there. You still have the nerve to ask for reinforcements?!"

The cavalryman who reported the news looked a little helpless and said: "There were not many Han people at the beginning. Hanlu, the leader of the Qianqiu, thought... so he led a group of troops to fight, but he was ambushed..."

When Da Danghu heard this, his eyes felt a little dark, and his body couldn't help but swayed twice. The guards behind him quickly stepped forward to help him.

Should we continue fighting or retreat?

Da Danghu pushed away the support of his guards, took a few deep breaths, tried his best to calm down, and weighed the pros and cons.

If we want to continue fighting, yes, that's right, it is almost certain that it will only take two or three more attacks at most to drag down the Han army on the other side of the river alive, and then cut off the skull of the Han army leader. punch bowl...

But in this way, if Pingding County in the rear is attacked by the Han, not only will the troops be lost, but more importantly, all the materials collected during this period will be in vain...

If he retreats, his pursuit will be an outright shame. He uses five thousand cavalry to attack eight hundred infantry. Although there are terrain restrictions, those trolls who are used to taking quotes out of context will not care about this. He must have grasped the difference in numbers and emphasized the inability of his commander to achieve success.

Besides, no matter how you put it, the corpses in front of you really can't be regarded as any achievement of yours.

what to do?

Dadanghu stared fiercely at the other side of the river. If his gaze could be lethal, he would have poked hundreds of holes in the body of the Han man who was on the other side of the river...

At this time, the Xianbei cavalry, who had been preparing to charge, pulled their horses and stood quietly in front of the formation, waiting for orders, but they never heard the order, so they couldn't help but feel a little restless.

"...Withdraw! Return to the army first and kill the Han cavalry coming from behind, and then pursue these two-legged Han dogs!" Dadanghu looked into the distance, as if he had discovered something. After a brief moment of anger and impulse, he calmed down and The order to retreat was given.

Although retreating is embarrassing, it seems to be nothing compared with those supplies. I will spend the winter this year, and I still have hope if I save the supplies. If I don't bring back the supplies, even if I take all the five or six hundred Han soldiers today What's the use of chopping it into minced meat?

The Xianbei people's front team changed to the rear team, leaving the corpses on the ground, hurriedly turning their horses' heads, and left. They seemed to be a little discouraged as they walked, and everyone was a little listless...

Although they didn't understand why the Xianbei cavalry retreated, the joy of escaping from death was mixed with the joy of final victory. Huang Cheng's soldiers excitedly raised their weapons, stamped their feet vigorously, slapped their blades, and roared. Cheers from the heart...

Huang Changchang breathed a long sigh of relief, and sat down regardless of the mud and blood on the ground. Looking back, layers of smoke and dust seemed to be rising in the distance...

There is a new joke that is very popular recently...

May I ask why Zhao Yun can fight 7 in and 7 out at Changbanpo to defeat the generals and steal the Qinghong Sword, and also make Cao Cao kneel down?

a: Because he wears white armor, a white hat, and a white cloak

b: Because he is holding the baby, he has an invincible protective buff.

c: Because his surname is Zhao...

We only discuss jokes...

Guo Jia has the final say as to whether the incident is true or false...
