Chapter 347: Not Fighting Alone
"Asshole! Are you too arrogant?" Yan Liang's angry voice echoed throughout the battlefield.
He felt something was wrong when the old soldier mentioned the White Horse Volunteers, but he didn't expect it to come true.
As an unlucky guy, he followed Xu Rong to fight the White Lotus Sect but failed to find anyone and achieved no success. He was also sent to Youzhou to guard the border because he deserted his post without permission.
He finally caught a big fish, but the sudden appearance of White Horse disrupted his plan. All the credit went to the White Horse, and he wasted his feelings in vain.
Seeing that the Baima Yicong were about to launch a final attack, Yan Liang hurried out to stop them. It was sad to say that he, a powerful boundary-breaking warrior, was not as fast as the Baima Yicong because of the clouds.
Thinking of this, Yan Liang had a strange opinion about Zhang He. It seemed that the White Horse was not so powerful in Zhang He's hands before.
If Zhang He's white horse had been so powerful, even though they could not win, they would not have been wiped out.
Gongsun Xu was so excited that he finally remembered the friendly forces he had seen before. They were not fighting alone, so there was no need to risk Bai Ma's life.
Yes, this is no longer the era when father Gongsun Zan acted without regrets. Now they have the entire Han Dynasty backing them up!
There are about 10,000 soldiers left in Goryeo, and they have at least 15,000 soldiers on their side, plus their White Horse Volunteers, so there is no need to fight for their lives in a game that is sure to win.
Gongsun Xu looked awkwardly at Yan Liang who had fallen beside him. Previous intelligence had mentioned that Yan Liang and several others would go on the road to provide support, but he didn't expect that the first meeting would be so awkward.
"Leave the rest to us. You should return to the city for supplies first. It seems that you have also come back from a long journey." Yan Liang glanced at Gongsun Xu. He looked quite like Gongsun Zan, so he knew who he was at first glance.
Gongsun Xu nodded. It was because they had been wandering on the grassland for too long that they had long since finished using bows and arrows. Otherwise, they would not have been blindly swinging with straight swords. After all, they were defined as archers.
Although it is not used when fighting the Hu people, it can be very effective against the fragile enemies like the Goryeo in front of us.
Of course, Gongsun Xu did not expect how much lethality Bai Ma's quick arrows could have. After all, it was good enough for an arrow shot at high speed to maintain its speed, and the accuracy was not important.
The original purpose of the White Horse's bow and arrow is to disgust the opponent and weaken the opponent's morale. After all, just being beaten is not enough. If it goes on for a long time, the army will collapse. After the collapse, the White Horse will directly slaughter the opponent at a high speed in one go.
Speaking of which, this is why Gongsun Xu suddenly understood why Gongsun Zan had to equip the White Horse Volunteers with bows and arrows. It was obvious that arrows were of no use when dealing with the Hu people. When they were wandering on the grassland, they would have shot out their arrows early to reduce the weight.
It was not until he encountered an opponent like Goryeo that Gongsun Xu understood why Gongsun Zan still wanted to equip the White Horse Volunteers with bows and arrows.
It turned out that Gongsun Zan had already taken into account all possible factors. When the enemy can form a formation after being slaughtered, this is the real purpose of bows and arrows.
In fact, Gongsun Zan was just disgusted by the Western Liang cavalry during the Battle of Hulao Pass, and was afraid that the unlucky child Gongsun Xu would encounter such a lump of iron again.
Carrying some bows and arrows is an additional means of coping. After all, a desperate charge should be avoided if possible.
No matter what, the Baima Yicong are also fragile cavalry. When facing enemies in formation, it is always good to have multiple means of response.
However, in Gongsun Xu's mind, Gongsun Zan was far-sighted and worthy of being the general who founded the White Horse Volunteers, and his considerations were far more appropriate than his.
By the way, Gongsun Zan was also tricked by Huangfu Song. Just like Li Jue and others, he did not realize that legion talent was essentially the recognition of the generals by the soldiers and had nothing to do with individual strength.
So Gongsun Zan, like Li Jue, suppressed the birth of his own legion's talent. It has to be said that this is really sad news.
"General, please help us save the people of Youzhou from the dire situation!" After thinking it through, Gongsun Xu decisively asked Yan Liang to lead his troops to take action.
As long as Yan Liang can lead his men to break up the enemy's organization, the White Horse will only need one round of charge to take away all the scattered soldiers.
Because there is currently no legion in the world that can run faster than the White Horse Volunteers, forming a circle formation can make them helpless, but once the formation collapses and turns into scattered soldiers, the combat effectiveness of the White Horse will increase vertically, and the ability to chase and kill is unparalleled in the world.
After all, a lot of combat power was wasted when fighting in a group. After all, the speed was too fast and they all swung their swords instinctively, and it was common to chop the corpse dozens of times.
Normally, one strike from Bai Ma is enough to kill any non-heavy armored unit. Leather armor or paper armor is pitifully fragile in front of them.
When fighting in a group, the first blow usually kills the enemy miserably, and the body doesn't even fall down. Then dozens of subsequent blows will hit the body. In this case, except for the first blow, all subsequent attacks are overflow attacks and are meaningless.
This is also the reason why most of the enemies they killed could not leave an intact corpse. Those who were less lucky might be chopped by hundreds of swords. It was already very difficult to see a human form, let alone an intact corpse.
But once the enemy becomes a defeated remnant, the Bai Ma no longer needs to fight in a group. Thirty to fifty people can form a group to chase and kill. They don't even need to maintain a state of swiftness; normal agility is enough.
Gongsun Xu's humble attitude made Yan Liang feel a little uncomfortable. It was the first time for him to communicate with such a young man. Judging from Gongsun Xu's age, he should not be much older than his fifteen-year-old son Yan Qi.
"I understand. Leave it to me. You just wait for the harvest. Then we can go to the nearest city together to rescue." Yan Liang said unnaturally.
"Thank you very much for your kindness, General. My Gongsun family will never forget it, and the people of Youzhou will never forget it!" Gongsun Xu didn't care. How much is face worth? How much are nice words worth? If Yan Liang could kill this enemy, he, Gongsun Xu, would have no problem bragging about it.
"All soldiers listen up, attack the left and right wings!" Yan Liang roared, and the soldiers who had been AFK and doing nothing finally had a chance to show their skills.
When the White Horse Volunteers appeared, they all consciously kept their formation and stayed away from the Goryeo enemies. No one understood the White Horse Volunteers better than them, so they did not intervene to make trouble, but watched the performance of the White Horse Volunteers quietly.
Especially when the pure white swallowed up everything and quickly disappeared, leaving only the blood color representing cruelty. The strong contrast was enough to make them never forget this thrilling, efficient, swift and cruel beauty for the rest of their lives. This beauty was deeply imprinted in their minds.
This is the patron saint of Youzhou, the White Horse Volunteers!
