Whether it is appropriate to lead an army directly down from a high place depends on the specific situation at the time.
If the army below has been well prepared, surrounded on all sides, and has many defenses, then the army above is the fat on the chopping block.
But at this time, Ji Ling and others were exhausted, their morale was low, and their engines could hardly fire.
But Zhang Liao and Gao Shun had already arrived here to repair, waiting for Ji Ling to throw himself into the trap - it was expected that the place where he fled must be on higher ground, and it couldn't be the north side where the water was rushing, and
We should also try to avoid Pengcheng...
Although it is surrounded by the Tongshan Mountains, there are not many places that meet this condition!
Zhang Liao just chose the most likely place and gambled to win a big victory...
When Ji Ling saw Zhang Liao, Gao Shun was here, and the soldiers under his command were not in such bad shape that they had lost the city... He was completely sure that this was the enemy's conspiracy!
He directly threw Wei Xu in his hand to the ground and died. Hou Cheng on the side wanted to escape, but was killed by the soldiers beside Ji Ling.
Seeing Zhang Liao's unmoved look, Ji Ling also knew that these two idiots really didn't know anything about it. They just pulled out such a big trick, so it wouldn't be unfair to kill them!
"Don't panic, form a formation to defend against the enemy! The bandits are far fewer than our army!" Ji Ling shouted.
This is true. Zhang Liao only has 5,000 people here, and Ji Ling has nearly 20,000 drowned rats...
However, when Gao Shun, who was dressed in gray armor, led the trapped camp in silence without shouting or drums, and rushed down the gentle slope, Ji Ling was still shocked - the weirdness of the trapped camp had long since dawned on Ji Ling.
Been taught.
Ji Ling commanded the troops to change their formations and formed an array to meet the enemy, and at the same time retreated to the main position in the army.
Ji Ling was confident that he could defeat Gao Shun when it came to personal force, but if he was trapped among those eight hundred ghostly soldiers, not even Ji Ling, Lu Bu would not be able to escape alive!
If it were replaced by 800 ordinary soldiers, with Lu Bu's bravery, when he was in good condition, even if the armor suppressed the effect, but he rushed into it and slashed left and right, he could easily kill the opponent until the formation collapsed, and then the remaining soldiers would be defeated.
What comes down is the lamb for the slaughter.
But Gao Shun's Eight Hundred Traps camp is different. There is no such thing as a collapse. He will always make the best choice for the collective and will not be affected by individual emotions - unless it affects Gao Shun himself.
Even when individual soldiers are injured, they will choose to retreat in time for treatment based on the extent of the injury and the situation of the battle, or simply rush forward to assist friendly forces and die together with the enemy...
At this time, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun led 3,000 Bingzhou wolf cavalry, 1,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, and 800 trapped troops. The other infantry had already been sent out to search and rescue the people.
When attacking Ji Ling's military formation, the two of them chose to take the trap camp as the vanguard without hesitation. Even the wolf cavalry and the iron cavalry charged behind the trap camp...
"The ambition to be trapped in the battle will lead to death or life." Gao Shun muttered in a low voice.
During the charge, Hao Meng was not around, so probably no one else knew that Gao Shun had actually "shouted" the slogan.
I saw soldiers in black helmets and black armor rushing into the military formation where Ji Ling had not yet set up their formation. They immediately formed a group of three and charged into the enemy formation one by one!
This is the "trap situation" that only applies to the trapped camp. Gao Shun will judge based on the situation whether to go into a group of three, a group of nine, or a group of eighteen. The essence of this is to break into the enemy's formation and order
The opponent's formation cannot be formed.
It is especially effective against non-dense arrays.
Essentially, it is a method of fighting in which one does not follow the rules, but only develops a small formation to join forces to fight the enemy, and then "drills" into the enemy's formation, forcing the opponent to become disorganized as well.
There is also no structure in the battle. In a battle based only on small teams fighting, no army can beat the trapped camp. Therefore, in a battle formation with less than a thousand people, Gao Shun is invincible!
Only Gao Shun's trapped camp can use this method of warfare. Ordinary troops are scattered in groups of three or five among the enemy's troops. They are so long that Dubbo cannot accept orders from each other, fearing that his own morale will collapse first.
Only Gao Shun's trapped camp did not have a single low-level general. They were all Ji Zao soldiers. They were controlled by him in real time and could not be disrupted at all when they dispersed the enemy's formation.
Moreover, the trapping camp saves time in training this series of changes, and fully trains the special fighting method of the team to attack and kill, and everyone sacrifices needlessly, just for the result, so that the effect of the "trapped momentum" can be maximized.
Ji Ling's army had no time to form a formation at this time, and was directly trapped by groups of black armors, seeping in like sand...
"Array, stay calm and array! Don't fight with those monsters!" Ji Ling's roar did not receive much response.
If you can overlook it, you will find that within the scope of the eight hundred formations infiltrating, the Huainan Army's formation changes are completely blocked!
However, neither the Huainan Army nor the old Nanyang troops could ignore casualties like the trapped camp, so naturally they could not take up formations when attacked by the trapped camp.
From a bird's eye view, it looks like Ji Ling's army was invaded by a "virus", became sluggish, and was quickly killed and injured...
It was just when the opponent's formation failed that the cavalry led by Zhang Liao rushed straight in!
The Xiliang cavalry was guarding the two wings, and the Bingzhou cavalry broke into the enemy formation directly. In the past six months in Xuzhou, the Xiliang cavalry had been very "fat" and had restored its true character as a heavy cavalry. Not only did it wear thick armor, the "war horse" also looked stronger.
, just slower.
However, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry is still a strong attacker. The infantry who are "trapped" in the trapped camp and unable to form a formation are vulnerable to the cavalry.
Zhang Liao didn't even need to consider accidentally injuring friendly troops trapped in the formation, because avoiding cavalry was part of their training, and... if they were really accidentally injured, "they" wouldn't care. Even if their companions fell under the iron hooves of friendly forces, they would kill the enemy alone.
The movements will not be messy!
Even some injured soldiers in the battle will throw down the enemy and get involved under the iron hoof together, forcing them to make a loss.
Like a hot knife cutting through oil, the cavalry led by Zhang Liao was directly embedded in it. The Huainan Army relied entirely on their lives to weaken the cavalry's momentum.
Ji Ling's handsome flag gradually moved backwards, obviously not wanting to collide with Zhang Liao!
Commander's flag - a device that assists the leading generals in commanding and can function as a "signal tower".
When Zhang Xun was fighting outside the city of Qu'a before, he chose to build a high platform and command with flags from behind. Not only because he was afraid of fighting Lu Bu head-on, but also because it was difficult to communicate with his subordinates simply by relying on his armor to cover the signal.
Tens of thousands of troops.
At this time, if you still need to lead the troops and generals to command, you will need a commander's flag. Around the commander's flag, the contact range of the commander's armor will become larger.
However, in this case, Shuai Qi will also expose the position of the coach!
Ji Ling wanted to retreat, but as long as he could regroup, he might not be able to fight against the mere four or five thousand cavalry. However, Zhang Liao came all the way to the commander's flag.
Even Zhang Liao, who usually looks gentle and elegant, is like a wild horse when he enters the battlefield. His command relies entirely on the stream of consciousness, completely ignoring the disengagement of the army.
, in order to quickly approach the commander's flag, Zhang Liao's cavalry was stretched out one by one.
In the end, with only a few dozen cavalry around him, Zhang Liao fought his way to Ji Ling, and his bodyguards fought hand-to-hand. Instead, the two armies faced each other head-on. It was a typical case of a lone army going deep...
However, at this time, Ji Ling's troops were exhausted and their horses were exhausted. They were rushed by the cavalry and were thrown into disarray. They were all killed by Zhang Liao!
