Chapter 548: The situation changes suddenly and defeats the enemy with force

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Standing on the towering oars, Zhang He could easily see the situation of the Han army's camp.

It’s not like he didn’t see the wet cowhide on the wall of the Han army’s camp crumbling.

However, Zhang He, who was one of Yuan's generals, knew very well how tough the wet cowhide was.

During the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao dispatched hundreds of catapults.

Although the Perak Chariot used by Cao Jun at that time had the disadvantage of being able to only have a single engine, the number of hundreds of them was enough to make up for this shortcoming to a large extent.

But what about in the end?

Under the obstruction of wet cowhide, hundreds of Pili cars eventually lost their use.

It was precisely because of this knowledge that Zhang He made the move to turn the catapult.

Zhang He's move was also due to his realization that Ma Jun's improved catapult was indeed extremely powerful.

Since he has such power, Zhang He thinks why he doesn't adopt a faster attack method?

This method is also very simple.

As mentioned before, due to the terrain of Jieting, the Han army's military camp spanned several miles.

And no matter how much wet cowhide the Han army prepared, how could it completely cover the several-mile-long camp wall?

The camp wall is currently guarded by wet cowhide, and if you can't attack it for the moment, just attack somewhere else.

Following Zhang He's order, dozens of catapults began to turn and headed towards the wall of the Han army's camp in the other direction.

When the dozen catapults began to turn, Deng Ai, who noticed Zhang He's intentions, was the first to scream.

After Deng Ai's exclamation, Liu Feng's face was already ashen.

Hanging wet cowhide is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task.

Wet cowhide is not a catapult. It has its own wheels to move it.

In this case, if you want to quickly move the wet cowhide on the camp wall to another place, it will definitely waste a lot of time.

And with the moving speed of that catapult, will God give him this time?

There is no need to guess at this point, after all, the moving speed of the catapult is clearly displayed in Liu Feng's eyes.

Although the catapult is not moving very fast, its speed is slowly increasing due to the push of a large number of Wei troops.

At the current speed at which the catapult was moving, it was possible for the Wei army to pull the catapult in advance before the Han army hung the wet cowhide on another camp wall.

And without the protection of wet cowhide, how long can the Han army camp wall, which is basically a wooden structure, last with the power demonstrated by the Wei army's catapult just now?

Many speculations quickly flashed through Liu Feng's mind, but after all the speculations, Liu Feng only had one firm thought left in his mind.

We cannot allow the Wei army's catapults to be successfully transported to the other camp wall!

After this was the only thought left in his mind, Liu Feng quickly said to Ding Feng beside him:

"I heard that you have a reputation for bravery. Are you willing to bathe in blood with me today?"

Ding Feng was startled by Liu Feng's sudden inquiry.

Not only Ding Feng, but also Deng Ai and Jiang Wei on the side were also stunned by Liu Feng's inquiry.

Given the current critical situation, Liu Feng asked this obviously pointed question. How could Ding Feng and others not guess Liu Feng's intention?

Ding Feng is also a decisive person, or in other words, he never knows what fear is.

Ding Feng bowed solemnly to Liu Feng and said, "I would like to go with the general."

After hearing Ding Feng's statement, Liu Feng's face showed a rare smile.

After a while, he held the long knife at his waist and walked towards the observation tower.

And Ding Feng also followed closely behind Liu Feng.

But before Liu Feng took a few steps, his arm was tightly grasped by someone.

This person is none other than Deng Ai.

Deng Ai admonished Liu Fengjin in a persuasive tone: "The rebel army may be waiting for the general to lead his army out of the camp. General, think twice!"

Liu Feng's reaction and words reflected what he would do next.

That is to lead the army out of the camp and prevent the movement of the catapult.

Although this method could buy time for the Han army, it would undoubtedly put Liu Feng himself in great danger.

The tens of thousands of Wei troops who had just left the camp were guarding outside the camp!

Although the Han army numbered in the tens of thousands, a large part of the Han army had to shoulder the responsibility of guarding the camp and could not leave lightly. So in the end, the number of Han troops Liu Feng could bring out of the camp was only a few thousand at most.

Thousands versus tens of thousands, and the enemy general is Zhang He, who has long been famous. Obviously, the Han army has little chance of winning.

Deng Ai's stop was not only for the good of Liu Feng, but also for the good of the tens of thousands of Han troops.

Because if anything happens to Liu Feng, the morale of the Han army guarding the street pavilion will definitely suffer a huge blow.

The Lord General has the courage of the army!

Faced with Deng Ai's dissuasion, Liu Feng naturally knew what Deng Ai was thinking, but Liu Feng did not hesitate at all. He suddenly shook off Deng Ai's hand.

In fact, what Deng Ai could think of, how could Liu Feng not think of it?

But Liu Feng had a reason to lead his army out.

Liu Feng looked at Deng Ai. Under Deng Ai's gaze, he expressed the reason in his heart:

"I promised Your Majesty that I would guard the street pavilion for him!"

There was not much profound analysis, nor much exciting encouragement. Liu Feng only said such a simple sentence.

But it was this sentence that revealed Liu Feng's firm determination.

After saying this, Liu Feng turned around and walked towards the observation tower without looking back.

Soon after, a loud drum beat sounded in the Han army camp.

This loud drum sound fell into the ears of Deng Ai and Jiang Wei on the observation platform, and the moved expressions on their faces could not calm down for a long time.

But could Deng Ai and Jiang Wei behave like this because of the inspiring drums of the Han army?

It's because of Liu Feng's words, and also because of Liu Feng's determination to regard death as home.

The sudden sound of war drums in the Han army camp also attracted the attention of Zhang He who was not far away.

After seeing the gate of the Han army's camp opening, Zhang He excitedly clapped his hands.

Liu Feng is not Mi Yang after all, he fell into his trap after all!

Seeing Zhang He's excited expression, Man Chong, who was sitting next to Zhang He, understood Zhang He's entire plan today.

Zhang He first put Ma Jun's improved catapult on the field. The main purpose was to test the power of the improved catapult on the spot.

But behind this main purpose, Zhang He also prepared two plans based on different situations.

If the improved catapult was not as powerful as Ma Jun said, then Zhang He would order the more than 10,000 Wei troops who were the first to leave the camp to immediately storm the Han camp according to the original plan.

But if the improved catapult really had extraordinary power, then Zhang He would lure the Han army out of the camp by moving the catapult.

At this time, the more than 10,000 Wei troops who were the first to leave the camp had a place to use themselves.

As for what if the Han army never leaves the camp?

Then Zhang He's original move of pretending to move the catapult can become real.

No matter what the Han army did, Zhang He had corresponding plans to put the Wei army in an advantageous position.

This is Zhang He with unparalleled opportunities!

After Zhang He saw that the Han army, led by Liu Feng, was leaving the camp one after another, he smiled and said to Man Chong beside him:

"Manjun, please watch me defeat the enemy today."

After saying this, Zhang He immediately walked towards the bottom of the oar.

Looking at Zhang He's leaving figure, Man Chong's admiration for Zhang He became even deeper.

The prince did not choose the wrong person this time.

Just as Zhang He was riding his horse towards the phalanx of tens of thousands of Wei troops, Liu Feng and Ding Feng, leading three thousand Han troops, had already formed a formation outside the Han army's camp.

The moment the three thousand Han troops formed their formation, Liu Feng waved his spear and led the three thousand Han troops behind him towards the tens of thousands of Wei infantry phalanx in front of him.

Perhaps Zhang He had made arrangements in advance, and there were not many surprises when tens of thousands of Wei troops suddenly attacked thousands of Han troops.

Of course, the bigger reason why Wei Jun can perform like this is that they have a clear understanding of their own advantages.

Tens of thousands versus thousands, why panic?

But the tens of thousands of Wei troops ignored one thing.

That is the number of people in both armies, and the soldiers of both armies know it well.

So why did the Han army dare to take the initiative to attack the Wei army when they knew that their own number was smaller than that of the Wei army?

Part of the reason was that Liu Feng, the general, was not afraid of death, so the three thousand Han troops also had a mentality of looking forward to death.

But the more reason is that most of the tens of thousands of Han troops brought by Liu Feng to guard the street pavilions were from the Liangzhou army.

Ji Han doesn't pay attention to the private military system.

Even though the Liangzhou Army was deeply imprinted with Mi Yang, as long as Liu Bei was around, he could easily mobilize any army within the Han Dynasty with his prestige.

Among the many armies of the Han Army at present, which one has more meritorious service than the Liangzhou Army?

For such elites, it was impossible for Liu Bei to let Mi Yang take them to Baoxie Road and just use them as suspects.

This is another reason why Liu Bei sent three young generals from Liangzhou as deputy generals Liu Feng.

With the three young generals from Liangzhou, Liu Feng can better control this tiger and wolf army.

As for the Liangzhou Army, would they be afraid of the Wei Army, even if the Wei Army outnumbered them?

Of course this won't happen.

Because the Liangzhou Army has always fought tough battles in which the weak defeated the strong since the day it formed an army!

Two brave Han generals, Liu Feng and Ding Feng, shouted and waved their weapons as they charged into the array of tens of thousands of Wei troops.

The three thousand elite Liangzhou troops followed the two warriors step by step, raising their spears to stab the Wei army in front of them.

Soon after, three thousand Han troops and tens of thousands Wei troops were fighting each other.

Today's battle between the two armies did not use long-range weapons such as bows and arrows. From the beginning, they engaged in the most intense hand-to-hand combat.

When Zhang He was still a hundred steps away from the battlefield where the two armies were fighting, he heard bursts of killing sounds coming from that battlefield.

Among the bursts of blood-heated killing cries, there were also mixed the ferocious sounds of many weapons clashing, and the wailing sounds of many soldiers before they died.

Three sounds that would make ordinary people feel creepy, fell into Zhang He's ears, but made him seem extremely intoxicated.

For Zhang He, these three sounds have been absent for a long time.

However, when Zhang He actually came to the battlefield and saw what happened in front of him, he was so angry that he almost fell off his horse.

It turned out that the formation of tens of thousands of Wei troops was slightly unstable under the charge of three thousand Han troops.

Most of the wailing sounds of the sergeants that Zhang He heard just now came from the mouths of the fallen Wei soldiers.

Originally, the number of the Wei army was three times that of the Han army. It should be that the Han army was trapped in the siege of the Wei army and fought hard, but it was obvious that the situation on the battlefield was not like this.

If the Han army had not been too small in number, tens of thousands of Wei troops would have been defeated by the Han army.

As for why tens of thousands of Wei troops were in such a disadvantageous situation when fighting three thousand Han troops, the main reason is that most of the tens of thousands of Wei troops on the battlefield are troops transferred from Huainan.

When Cao Cao was alive, he divided Cao Wei into three major war zones.

The three war zones are mainly Guanzhong, Jingzhou and Huainan.

Because when Cao Cao was alive in this generation, Jingzhou was not captured by Sun Quan due to Mi Yang's efforts, so in the Guanzhong and Jingzhou theaters, the Wei army always faced the fierce Han army in foot combat.

In this case, no matter how many local elites the Wei army had, Cao Cao would definitely give priority to deploying Cao Wei's elites in the Guanzhong and Jingzhou theaters.

As for the Huainan War Zone?

To be honest, based on Sun Quan's performance in his previous attacks on Hefei, Cao Cao really had no reason to place Cao Wei's elite field troops in Huainan.

Also because the strategy in the Huainan Theater has always been focused on defense, most of the Wei troops in the Huainan Theater were sergeants who were good at defending cities but not good at field combat.

If they were facing ordinary enemies, the Wei army from Huainan might not be at a disadvantage.

But what they are facing now is the Liangzhou Army, which has been victorious in every battle and has continuously destroyed the elite Wei armies in Guanzhong and Jingzhou. Can this be regarded as an ordinary enemy?

This kind of Liangzhou Army is almost at the top of the world in terms of combat experience and morale.

In infantry battles, besides the number and formation being critical, the eliteness of the soldiers is even more important!

Zhang He was a famous general, so he could naturally see at a glance why tens of thousands of Wei troops were at a disadvantage.

At this moment, Zhang He's heart was filled with resentment.

If it hadn't been for the tragic defeat in Liangzhou, how could the elites in Guanzhong have been wiped out, and why would he have seen such an exasperating battle situation today!

Although Mi Yang is not in Jieting, the great contributions he has made for the Han in the past few years have already subtly changed many aspects, and are also profoundly affecting the current battle situation in Jieting.

Today's Liangzhou Army of the Han Dynasty is ranked first in the world in terms of combat power.

But Zhang He knew that now was not the time to be angry.

Although the Han army was far more elite than the Wei army, it made up for the numerical gap between the two armies to a large extent.

But Zhang He was not helpless.

After Zhang He arrived at the battlefield, he immediately took over the command of tens of thousands of Wei troops.

Soon, Zhang He used the command of flags to change the formation of tens of thousands of Wei troops.

Under Zhang He's command, tens of thousands of Wei troops were no longer concentrated together.

Thousands of Wei troops left the formation and gathered on both wings, then formed a new formation and attacked the rear of the Han army.

In infantry battles, the general's commanding skills also affect the outcome to a great extent.

In addition to commanding the Wei army to change their formations to surround the Han army, Zhang He also ordered his people to quickly turn around the camp and ask them to mobilize all the Wei troops in the camp.

Today, he opened and closed to defeat the enemy with force!

Liu Feng could not hide the changes in the Wei army's formation, but there was no fear on Liu Feng's face.

Looking at the Wei troops that were constantly surrounding him, Liu Feng spat out a mouthful of blood.

His eyes were filled with murderous intent.

He promised his father that he would guard the street pavilion for him! If you like Mi Han, please bookmark it: (www.sodu777.net) Mi Han Novel Search Network has the fastest update speed on the entire Internet.
