Not long after, the Xiliang army came out of the camp one after another, laughing at the 10,000 soldiers on the opposite side without hesitation. Zhang Ji saw that the enemy army was small, so he left 50,000 to guard the camp, and dispatched 100,000 troops, ten to one.
, cavalry versus infantry, it is even difficult to win!
The two armies faced off, Zhang Ji gave a ferocious smile and ordered: "Tread those ten thousand men into a pulp, then attack Sun Jian's left wing and intercept him in the middle. We can decide in one battle and turn Sun Menghu into a dead tiger."
!kill!"
"Hahahaha... General Shengming! Kill!"
"kill!"
…[
No wonder Zhang Ji was so angry. The Xiliang army had been in battle for a long time, fighting Chencang and Xiqiang. They were all bloody battles. After entering Luoyang, they went out to attack civilians every day as a training exercise. There were few days without blood. At this time, facing
The approximately 10,000 spearmen were not afraid at all. The light cavalry might be stabbed off their horses, but they were heavy cavalry, and their spears would only be broken if they faced them. The only danger was their exposed eyes. Although the Sun Army was very
Damn it, the hand crossbow is very accurate, but it can hurt a few people!
The cavalry charged, and the ground shook. The Xiliang cavalry were lancers, and their spears were longer than those of the infantry. If they faced them, they would be killed, trampled on, and massacred. Cheng Pu fired urgently and retreated steadily.
These sights made the Xiliang army even more excited, and their bloodthirsty eyes gradually turned red. The next moment, the poor enemy infantry would howl miserably from their horses and die under the spears. The scattered arrows were useless at all.
It feels like scratching an itch on the body without affecting the impact speed.
Ah! Plop!
…
Continuous screams and the sound of falling were heard. The Xiliang army began to suffer casualties. Those in front fell down and those behind hit them. The hateful Southern Barbarians have dug so many horse traps. This horse trap is very easy to dig.
, it can be done a moment before the confrontation, a soldier can dig a hole in just two clicks, and there are only a few small holes left in the place where the Sun Army retreated, a little bigger than a horse's hoof. It is only a foot deep, and once the horse's hoof steps on it, it will inevitably break the horse's leg.
, and there were also several white diggers left behind...
Zhang Ji looked at the soldiers coldly and asked, "Can this prevent you from being trampled on?"
Cheng Pu's admiration for Ye Feng was like a surging river at this time, and he no longer had any objection to Ye Feng's previous request to dig holes with farm tools. Why didn't he think of digging so many holes before? What kind of trenches are there to resist horses?
They are worse than pits! This is the effect of ten thousand people digging pits. What if a hundred thousand people dig pits? If the battlefield is full of pits like this, why bother fighting? The cavalry will not dare to move!
The pit blocked the high-speed advance of the cavalry, causing a certain degree of casualties. However, to make up for the overall situation, the Xiliang army lost only one or two thousand cavalry, and the rear army continued to press forward.
"Withdraw! Withdraw into the mountains and forests!"
Cheng Pu was worried. If this situation continues, the rear army will be driven out before it has time to retreat. The loss will not be huge. But it is too late to dig a hole now. It depends on whose legs are faster and whose life is better.
.
"General, there are all kinds of traps ahead! I don't know how many there are."
"Oh?" Cheng Pu was overjoyed but unbelievable at the soldier's report. He rode his horse to the front and saw potholes all over the mountains and plains. The soil was fresh and it looked like it had been dug recently.
"Okay! Okay! We are saved, send the order, discard everything except weapons, and retreat at full speed!"
"promise!"
The horses of Xiliang Army had thousands of digging holes under them. They could only curse: hateful farm tools!
I never thought that these inconspicuous farm tools would become the nemesis of the cavalry, but I have to admit that the small pits dug by these farm tools are much more hateful than the trenches that are two feet wide and several feet deep. The horses' legs were snapped along the way. The soldiers were all
I'm afraid, I don't dare to charge. I'll kill someone! Besides, what's a cavalry without horses? Even if you're lucky enough to survive, you'll be relegated to the logistics department. You'll have to pack up your war gear and clean the horse pens every day. You'll never have the chance to burn, kill, and loot again.
No chance to gain military honors!
Cheng Pu withdrew and ran into the mountains. Zhang Ji was trembling in the face of the small pit. He really wanted to give up this army, but experience told him that this would not work. These people would definitely harass him from behind as soon as he left. Sun Jian's headquarters had
Chariots and horses are not so easy to defeat. Once the battle reaches a stalemate, these people press on from behind...the gain outweighs the loss.
No matter what, you have to kill these 10,000 people first. Will it be okay once you enter the mountain? It’s only 10,000 people. Even if I don’t charge, how can you withstand the slaughter of 100,000 soldiers and horses! As for the horse trap in front of you, hehe, I don’t need to charge.
Then proceed carefully, how many casualties can be caused?[
…
The people on the mountain looked at Zhang Ji's army and horses moving forward cautiously. Ye Feng looked back at Guo Jiaqi and said: "Fengxiao, this strategy doesn't seem to have much effect."
Guo Jia curled up his lips and said, "My lord, how many of Cheng Pu's 10,000 soldiers would have been able to retreat into the mountain without these traps?"
"Oh, but compared with what you originally said...you said these horse traps can cost the lives of ten thousand cavalry."
The disdain in Guo Jia's eyes was even more obvious: "My lord, can I, the Overlord of Qianjun, defeat this cavalry who is extremely cautious and unable to sprint?"
Xun Yu said: "Of course you can!"
"If the enemy is defeated, they will have to withdraw from here. Can they still be so leisurely and cautious in advancing?"
"...The enemy can either fill it up now, but they can't give up the pursuit to do this farmer's business, or they can fill it up with corpses when they retreat... I admire the filial piety plan!"
"My lord is too proud. If my lord's overlord army is not here, if it is not for brother Wen Ruo's turtle shell, no matter how good the strategy is, it will be useless."
"Hahahaha...get ready to fight!"
Most of the Xiliang cavalry passed through the horse pit formation and advanced towards the top of the mountain. They could not be allowed to come up easily. Once they rushed to the top of the mountain, they would be able to dive down the mountain, which would be much more powerful than on the plains. Ye Feng was at this time
Occupy the top of the hill and fight while retreating. Even if the enemy troops occupy the top of the hill and huddle together, they will not be able to form an impact. Give up the hilltop and lead the enemy by the nose and retreat to the hillside behind. In this way, you can get out of the strike range of the catapult. You cannot
The charging cavalry is still a piece of cake in front of the Overlord's army.
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry mainly has very good defense, which can reach 5,000, and average attack power, less than 3,000. The most effective attack is to launch a large-scale attack. In this way, the attack power can be doubled, reaching around 6,700, or 7,000, which is better than that of Overlord.
The armies are evenly matched, but this is impossible to happen in this situation. Going up the mountain against the trend, it would be good if the armored war horses can climb up, and the impact is nothing.
Whoosh!
With a wave of Ye Feng's hand, the Overlord Army stood neatly in front of everyone. In order to maximize the effect of Xun Wenruo's turtle shell, the Overlord Army first lined up in a row to facilitate shooting. When the enemy troops came up, they lined up in a semicircle, that is,
Yanyue Formation, guarding Xun Yu.
The battle in the mountains was not conducive to horses. In order to prevent the horses from being injured, everyone including the Yezhao Jade Lion stayed in the formation. Zhao Yun and Ye Fengfen stood in front of the formation, waiting for the Xiliang army to come and die.
Absolute defense within a hundred steps. As long as the defensive shield still has energy, it will not be harmed. The nightmare of the Xiliang Army has arrived!
