While Han Meng was thinking, a group of Zhao Jun cavalry suddenly appeared behind the Yan Army camp. The Zhao Jun cavalry was divided into six groups. Each group was arranged in a cone shape and rushed forward. Looking from the tower, it looked like six
Like a sharp sword.
"Oh no, it's too late. We must find a way as soon as possible!" Han Meng glanced at the heavy infantry and cavalry of the Yan Army on both sides of the block below the suspension bridge, and frowned, "The heavy infantry and heavy cavalry of the Yan Army are blocked.
The cavalry are simply indestructible, and arrows cannot hurt them at all. If I want to go out, I must defeat these steel warriors first..."
Han Meng's mind was spinning rapidly, and his eyes were wandering around the area. When he saw the pillars on the city wall used to support the gate tower, a thought quickly flashed through his mind, causing him to slap his thigh hard.
A smile appeared on his face and he shouted: "Yes, let's do it like this!"
Turning around and walking quickly down the tower, Han Meng shouted loudly: "Give me the order, quickly dismantle a thousand long wooden stakes from nearby, and select a thousand strong men to follow me out of the city!"
………………
Zhang He was still standing on the watchtower and looking out, when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind the camp. He turned around quickly and saw about 6,000 Zhao Jun cavalry coming from behind. He was slightly surprised.
, could not imagine that with the army surrounding Yecheng, there would be cavalry fighting out of the city. He immediately shouted: "The enemy is attacking! The entire army is on alert!"
Five thousand crossbowmen were reserved in the camp, half of which were archers and half of which were repeating crossbowmen. After Zhang He gave the order, they quickly assembled behind the camp and faced the incoming attackers through the wooden fence wedged deeply into the ground.
enemy.
The alarm bell on the watchtower was rung, and the 10,000 infantrymen hiding in the trenches in front of the camp remained motionless and were not affected by the enemy attack at all. Zhang He had already descended from the watchtower, mounted a horse and galloped towards the back of the camp.
go.
There is only one gate in the camp, and the rest of the area is surrounded by wooden fences. In an open space behind the camp, the archers have already filled their bows and arrows. When they see the Zhao army's cavalry quickly rushing into the shooting range, all the archers are in their army.
Under Sima's command, he began to shoot arrows into the sky. The arrows flew out at a very fast speed and fell into the group of cavalry. Arrows flew in random directions, and immediately a group of cavalry fell from their horses.
The crossbowmen all held repeating crossbows in their hands, but because the range was too close, they had to wait for the cavalry to enter the range before they could shoot. Each crossbowman was squatting on the ground, staring at the crossbow with his head sideways.
, gently closed one eye and aimed at the man who was rushing towards the camp.
The cavalry kept galloping. When the cavalry quickly rushed into the firing range, the crossbowmen immediately pulled the mechanism of the crossbow machine continuously, and the crossbow arrows in the arrow box were shot out one after another. Half of them were shot.
Horses, half of them shot people, causing the cavalry who rushed over to flip over.
The cavalry led by Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Zhang Nan, Jiang Qi, Jiang Yiqu, and Zhang Yiliu quickly merged together, twisted into a huge sharp blade, and rushed towards the Yan army camp. However, the first
A wave of more than a thousand cavalry who rushed at the front fell down in the blink of an eye under the powerful crossbows and crossbows of the Yan army, leaving behind a pile of human and animal corpses.
Seeing this situation, the six generals reined in their horses and gathered together. After the six generals looked at each other, they heard Zhang Nan say: "The Yan army's arrow array is too powerful. It is ten times more powerful than our army's hard crossbows."
times, and I have never seen those crossbowmen reloading crossbow arrows, just like the enemy crossbowmen have a steady stream of crossbow arrows, is there any way for you to break through this arrow array?"
Jiang Yiqu saw corpses scattered all over the field in front of him, most of them died under the arrows, and those who survived were almost dying. There were still some humans and animals struggling to their death, but they were killed one by one by the Yan army's crossbowmen.
Shoot him to death. He frowned and said loudly: "It seems that the Yan army has already taken precautions, otherwise we would suddenly attack.
They would not have concentrated all their troops behind the camp so quickly. If they attacked by force, they would probably suffer heavy casualties. It would be better to destroy the wooden fence of the Yan army's camp, and then use the cavalry to launch a fierce attack, even with horse hoofs.
Even if we trample these crossbowmen to death, as long as we get close, they won't be able to escape even if they want to."
Jiang Qidao: "Then how should we outsmart him?"
Lu Kuang looked at the Yan army's camp and said casually: "It is better to divide the troops and attack from the left, center and right. Once the Yan army is dispersed, the arrows will not be too dense, and it will also give us a chance."
"
Zhang Nan said: "Okay, this is a good idea. I will lead the troops to rush against the fence of the Yan army's camp from the left wing."
"I will charge from the right wing!" Zhang Wei responded.
Among the six generals, Jiang Yiqu had the highest position, so the six generals basically followed Jiang Yiqu. After listening to Zhang Nan and Zhang Wei's volunteer words, Jiang Yiqu said: "Well, you two will each lead a thousand cavalry, from the left and right.
Two wings attack
I led the remaining cavalry to collide from the center to attract the enemy's attention. Remember, we must succeed. As long as the enemy's fence is destroyed, our army can enter the enemy camp unimpeded to kill the enemy.
The arrows are all bullshit!"
Generals Zhang Nan and Zhang Wei said: "General, don't worry, we will move forward bravely and never retreat!"
Jiang Yiqu nodded solemnly, and immediately divided into two thousand cavalry and gave them to Zhang Nan and Zhang Wei, while he himself led the remaining three thousand cavalry to gather together.
"Lü Kuang, Lu Xiang, Jiang Qi." Jiang Yiqu shouted loudly.
"What are your orders, general?" Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, and Jiang Qi replied in unison.
Jiang Yi channel: "Which of you is willing to be the striker?"
Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang looked at each other. The two brothers looked very strange and took a step back unconsciously. At the same time, they pointed at Jiang Qi and said: "I think it must be Jiang Qi!"
Jiang Qi was not ambiguous. When he heard the recommendations from Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, he clasped his fists and said, "General, Jiang Qi is willing to serve as the vanguard."
Although Jiang Yiqu and Jiang Qi were both surnamed Jiang, unfortunately they were not the same family and were not related to each other at all. Jiang Yiqu knew Jiang Qi's martial prowess and was known as "Xiao Yanliang" among the Zhao army. Naturally, he was the one to take the position of forward.
Jiang Yiqu nodded heavily
He nodded and said loudly: "How magnificent! I will assign you a thousand cavalry as the vanguard. No matter what happens, you are not allowed to retreat. If you want me to rush forward violently, as long as I can break through a hole, our army will be able to kill you."
Enter the enemy camp and harvest heads as much as you like."
Jiang Qichuo clicked the spear in his hand, said "Promise", and ordered a thousand cavalry to line up in front of Jiang Yiqu, Lu Kuang, and Lu Xiang. They arranged the cavalry into an "arrow" shape, waiting for Jiang Yiqu's order.
.
Zhang Nan and Zhang Wei each led a thousand cavalry to disperse to the left and right wings, standing far away from the enemy's range, and then arranged themselves in a cone-shaped charge formation, also only waiting for Jiang Yiqu's order.
In the Yan army's camp, Zhang He had already arrived behind the camp. When he saw two army commanders commanding archers and crossbowmen respectively, and there were dead bodies outside the camp, he smiled at the two army commanders and praised:
"You did a good job. If you have achieved merit this time, I will recommend you two as captains."
The two army commanders clasped their fists happily and said, "Thank you so much, General!"
Zhang He scanned the entire battlefield and saw that Zhao Jun's cavalry only had about 5,000 people and they were divided into three directions. He sneered and said to himself: "You are so naive, you think you can break through me by doing this."
The camp you set up?"
The two army commanders under Zhang He also laughed together, and at the same time they raised their hands and said: "General, if you can't kill a chicken with a bull's knife, leave it to us two brothers. General, just watch the battle."
Zhang He glanced at the two army commanders and said: "Pan Xiang, He Ning, you two have been following me for a year or two. You just do what I teach you. After Zhao Jun suddenly attacked the camp,
Han Meng in the city will definitely come out of the city to meet him. The person commanding the enemy soldiers is Jiang Yiqu. This time I will give you two a chance to make great contributions. If you kill Jiang Yiqu, I will directly recommend you two as captains in front of the lord!
"
Pan Xiang and He Ning were generals promoted by Zhang He. They both started as soldiers. Due to their bravery in battle, they were favored by Zhang He. When the two men heard Zhang He's recommendation, they happily said: "General, don't worry, I will
The two brothers must cut off Jiang Yiqu's head."
Zhang He said "hmm" and said slowly: "Jiang Yiqu divided his troops and horses into three directions. It seems that he wants to destroy the fence of the camp. You two should know better than me what to do. I leave this to you two.
Now, I will go to the front army to command the 10,000 infantrymen. Compared with Han Meng, Jiang Yiqu, Jiang Qi, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Zhang Nan, and Zhang Wei are all mediocre people."
Pan Xiang, He Ning said: "General, don't worry, if our brothers are not victorious, come and see us!"
Zhang He said with a ferocious smile: "No! If you want to win, you must win, and you have to bring Jiang Yiqu's head to see me!"
Pan Xiang and He Ning both frowned and replied in unison: "No!"
Zhang He took another look at the situation on the battlefield, and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He turned around and got on the horse. After turning the horse's head, he galloped towards the front camp and said secretly: "Jiang Yiqu is really mediocre.
Also, if we concentrate our forces and charge fiercely, we may still be qualified to compete with me. Now we divide our forces to charge, which shows that he is not very talented. Pan Xiang and He Ning are enough to deal with him."
With a loud shout of "drive", Zhang He ran away without even looking back.
Pan Xiang and He Ning immediately divided a thousand soldiers into a team of five hundred and scattered them on both wings. The two of them took the remaining four thousand crossbowmen and stood ready, quietly waiting for the Zhao army's cavalry to proceed.
impact.
"Attention, it's still the same, alternating between far and near, half man and half horse. If the enemy gets close, let them taste the power of our army!" Pan Xiang shouted loudly.
