Chapter 90 No One Knows the Battle Between Canals and Rivers Better than Gan Xingba

A few days later, it was still the Han army camp north of Hanchang County, upstream of Dangqu.

After Zhang Feijun had a certain reserve of grain storage, he launched another battle against Zhang Lujun to attack along the Dangqu River Valley.

The river bank is so steep that although both sides have thousands of people, the battle front is only a dozen steps wide, and it cannot accommodate many soldiers in an array.

If it is a dense spear square array, the width is only ten people in a row. However, the barbarian soldiers and Danyang soldiers use both nail hammers, short swords and shields, so there is a little room for slashing and moving, so there are only seven or eight soldiers on the front to catch the enemy. Only when the front dies and falls down, the people behind can flock to the substitute.

There are some shallows on the Dangqu River next to it. If you borrow a ten-step wide river surface, the river water will be about the depth of the Yanmadao's thigh. However, the Dangqu River is located in a mountainous area and the water flows very fast. The torrent above the knee can wash away the unstable soldiers, so both sides have no choice but to take risks.

In such a fighting environment, due to the congestion, it is difficult for any injured soldiers to be carried back for treatment. They often fall to the ground with a little injury and are trampled to death by both sides - this is also one of the reasons why Zhang Fei and Liu Bei were reluctant to attack with all their might before.

For Liu Bei, the Danyang soldiers were strategic resources that could not be supplemented. The world was already in chaos and it was impossible to have the opportunity to recruit soldiers in Guangling. The future Danyang soldiers either belonged to Yuan Shu or Sun Ce and Wang Lang.

The biggest difference between elite soldiers and cannon fodder is that they are good at saving themselves on the battlefield. They often have a life-saving experience if they are slightly injured and have rich survival experience. In this life-changing battlefield where congestion and treatment are not allowed, it is thanks to the Danyang soldiers and Zhang Lu exchange their lives.

But today, everything is different!

Yesterday I tried the new thing that Li Su provided him, and Zhang Fei was very confident!

"Kill!" Groups of Han soldiers, from north to south, followed the downhill mountain, and rushed towards the direction of Zhang Lujun, killing Zhang Lujun's army supervisor Yan Pu slightly doubted life.

It turned out that the Han army's offensive routines had also changed slightly. Today, the one who started the battle of attrition was no longer the Danyang soldiers who had been the one who had been the one who had been the one who had been promoted to Sima of another department because of his first success in the Yangping Pass.

On the one hand, this is certainly because in this war of attrition, the Danyang soldiers were more loyal and valuable, but on the other hand, the weapons of northern infantry were different from those of southern infantry.

The Hedong area is close to Hebei, so the infantry here is more accustomed to the long spear formation, just like the "Three Kingdoms of Total War" played by Li Su later appeared that Yuan Shao had "Halberds and the Halberds and Soldiers of Ye Kingdom" under his command.

Although Liu Bei's elite infantrymen who were born in Baibo were not so extravagant, they also had the skills of spear formations. However, Yangping Pass was fighting too tragically before, so they were rested for two months. In addition, at first, they felt that the Hedong soldiers were not used to the mountain terrain, so they were useless.

Recently, Zhang Fei summarized the changes in the battle situation and found that the Danyang soldiers could fight on the two wings, while the Hedong soldiers were more suitable for the front consumption of the plains of the river valley. So he asked Liu Bei to borrow these soldiers as reinforcements.

Once the tactics are changed, the exchange ratio and killing effects at the frontier will suddenly be different.

Although Zhang Lujun and Banfeng Man were more flexible, they stabbed each other with the Han army with the advantage of spear length in the front of the river valley, and immediately fell at a disadvantage. They could only rely on the fierce and fearless warriors and barbarians to advance to fight for close contact, but they could not kill one or two Hedong soldiers and would be stabbed into hedgehogs by spears.

Only a small number of soldiers with particularly strong climbing capabilities climbed over the steep slopes next to them at least forty-five degrees, trying to detour and attack the gun array toward the inconvenient flanks, regaining some decline.

"Is this the new tactic that Zhang Fei has taken a few days off? He doesn't use the Danyang soldiers as his front team. It seems that he found that the Danyang soldiers are not conducive to their performance in such a narrow and congested environment, nor is it conducive to the dense formation? It seems that our army has to retreat temporarily and disrupt the gun formation with bows, arrows, and darts."

The military supervisor Yan Pu thought to himself and immediately ordered an arrangement.

Ban Ling is good at using poison. Not only can bows and arrows be used to temper poison, but even spears and blow arrows can be used. The physical killing of the two weapons behind them is extremely low, because the ammunition is flying too slowly and will not penetrate the enemy's body too deep. If it is shot to any part of the armor, even if it is just leather armor, it will be completely harmless.

But as long as it can hit the exposed part of the skin, although these poisons cannot be fatal immediately, as long as the enemy is poisoned and injured, or even just paralyzed and fell to the ground, it can also play a major role in killing.

When the Han army took sparse swords and shields first, the soldiers who were poisoned and paralyzed and fell to the ground might not be trampled to death by their own people. However, in the dense and inconsistent gun array, the fallen people were almost trampled to death.

In a panic, Yan Pu certainly had to make this change of formation that he thought was appropriate.

But changing the array is not that easy.

Thousands of people were crowded in the mountain road. The military orders originally required all to move forward, but now they have to turn the entire army backward. Even if they beat the drum and immediately change the sound of gold, they will have to be a little confused for a while before they can adjust. If they are too anxious, they will trample on each other.

Yan Pu was the number one strategist under Zhang Lu's command. Although he was still very young, he was about twenty years old, and at least he knew a little about his troops. When the other generals of Zhang Lu's army surrendered, he could only let him take over.

...

"Yan Pu's long snake formation is out of touch! Their back team has already started to retreat, but the front team still dares to retreat for fear of stepping on people! It is at this time that we wave the flag and let the third brother attack!"

Liu Bei, who was watching the battlefield on the top of the mountain near the rear, immediately asked his personal soldiers around him to wave the order flag. Zhang Fei, who had already taken Zhou Tai and hundreds of elite Danyang soldiers to ambush the warship, immediately ordered the flag to put all the twenty small boats in his fleet down the water and rush forward along the river!

It would be best if Gan Ning didn't expect that he would detour the enemy on land from the water route.

If Gan Ning is prepared and dares to intercept, then use the burning pot given by Boya to clean up Gan Ning!

Are you prepared for any trouble?

In the turbulent water flow, the ship naturally flowed quickly. In just two or three minutes, it rushed to the back of the head of Zhang Lu's army's long snake formation on the shore.

If the formation formed by thousands of soldiers is regarded as a real snake, then in proportion, it is almost seven inches behind the head!

"Ganning didn't come to stop him. Hurry up and shoot a swarm of bees and arrows to open the way! Then rush to the beach to cut off the enemy!"

Zhang Fei was still equipped with a crossbow on each of his boats, but it was not a single huge arrow, but a pot of featherless arrows installed with a barrel. This kind of shooting method was extremely poor and the range was extremely poor. It was crooked and slanted outside fifty steps and had no lethality. However, when it was close, the firepower density was extremely terrifying.

When Guan Yu quelled the rebellion in Liaodong, when Guan Yu set up the moon formation to break through the Wuhuan Nanqiao King, he used this flexible usage. Zhang Fei thought that the second brother's method was good, so he also used it to flexibly.

"Buzz~" several waves of arrows shot out, and the soldiers Zhang Lu, who were originally sparsely disconnected on the beach, fell down again. Even if they were not shot, they were shocked by the momentum and squeezed people to avoid each other, causing more small-scale self-trampling chaos.

Zhou Tai had already relied on the gap opened by this wave of firepower to rush the boat to the pebble beach, jumped off the boat and slashed forward with a knife.

These twenty small boats cannot accommodate too many soldiers. There are a total of 200 elite Danyang soldiers and warriors, and everyone is equipped with iron armor. Because such a narrow terrain cuts off the enemy's combat, there is too much force to exert it, and instead it is squeezed on the boat and there is not enough space for you to rush to land.

Two hundred beheadings are enough!

Zhang Fei also carried a snake spear and landed shortly after Zhou Tai rushed to the beach. His snake spear was rebuilt by finding the best blacksmith in Nanzheng City last month. Liu Bei asked a merchant to buy high-priced Western Regions iron from Chen Cang. During the Han Dynasty, the good iron from the West Asian region was sold to Chang'an from Chen Cang.

The snake spear is not conducive to infantry battles, it is a bit too long, but Zhang Feiyi is very brave and has the help of his personal guards, so he does not need to consider the enemy at close range, so he is not afraid at all.

Seeing that Zhang Fei had landed, Zhou Tai took the initiative to move over and rushed with Zhang Fei. He used the ancient ingot knife, which happened to cooperate with Zhang Fei one by one. When he encountered an enemy who rushed to Zhang Fei, Zhou Tai slashed and killed with the ancient ingot knife.

The sword and spear cooperated far and near, and even killed more than a dozen chaotic enemy soldiers in a few breaths. They were like the mainstay of the mainstay that broke open the Yellow River, and the enemy soldiers were like waves hitting the mainstay and shattered.

"No, the army supervisor, the enemy's waterways broke our army into two pieces! The rear army was separated!" The small school beside Yan Pu quickly discovered the problem and was shocked.

There are at least more than 1,000 Zhang Lu soldiers in this area where Yan Pu is located, but it’s useless! Because the river bank is so narrow, you can only engage in less than ten people fighting each other at any time, so even if you have more than 1,000 people surrounded, you cannot quickly break through the two hundred behind-the-stop interception.

The main force of the Han army continued to squeeze up. With the quality of the Han army, Yan Pu must have been destroyed by making dumplings first.

As for Zhang Lujun's rear team, they temporarily retreated and adjusted the formation according to the order, and could be adjusted to halfway. The general was made of dumplings by the enemy and lost command. The outcome was the same as when Zhang He was made of dumplings by Zhang Fei in Dangqu.

It is a bit of honor that Yan Pu can be defeated by the strategy of dealing with Zhang He.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, Zhang Fei led Zhou Tai to kill at least thirty rows of people in the enemy's wall! He rushed straight to Yan Pu's flag formation.

Yan Pu had no martial arts skills, he was just a supervisor of the staff. Seeing this, he quickly surrendered without any moral integrity.

The Yan Pu flag was cut down, and the partitioned rear army even scattered like a headless fly. Zhang Fei and Zhou Tai turned around and chased, capturing and killing thousands. The fortifications of the county town around Dangqu were not strong, and there was not even a wall of sharp wooden stakes. Zhang Fei and Zhou Tai took advantage of the situation to fight and finally took down Hanchang County.

Zhang Lu himself was also stationed in Hanchang, and in a panic, he brought the remaining soldiers. He took advantage of his own ships to take away all the direct troops on the ship and fled down the river and sneaked to Dangqu County.

Fortunately, Gan Ning reacted to the response halfway, but finally didn't burp directly.

Gan Ning comforted her: "Don't worry! Since I have been kind to Liu Jun, I promised him to protect you, and you will not die for the time being. Today, I just lost one county and lost thousands of people. In the future, Zhang Fei wanted to attack with a ship and cut off the formation in the middle. I waited for him on the river surface! I would not let him rush over.
