The river embankment was lined with high-level defense areas for several miles, and densely packed Jizhou troops gathered on the embankment, overlooking the plain area below.

In fact, this place is not considered a river embankment, it is still two miles away from the river beach.

If you have observed both sides of some large rivers, you will find that there is not only a distance from the river beach to the river bank, but also a high vertical height up and down. The larger the river, the greater the height.

Gao Lan's camp is located on the slope bank on the right side of the boundary bridge, and the defense area here is still one mile away from the camp, which is an extremely vast slope.

Because it is above the slope and the area is relatively large, there are many areas to defend.

First there is the plain area on the west side, and then there is the river beach in the rear. If Zhang Liao does not plan to fight with him on the west side, the Qingzhou Army may come around from the river beach on the west side and attack from behind the Jizhou Army.

Therefore, Gao Lan had a certain reason for mobilizing all the archers from the east side back to the west side defense area. In addition to dealing with the enemy's main force, he also had to prevent being stolen.

But what he didn't know was that Zhang Liao did not immediately lead the army to attack at this time, but only started to move down the west slope.

On the far side of the slope, the positions of both sides were still about three kilometers apart. The boundless Qingzhou Army moved to the left like a black cloud. Their entire formation was spread out, making it look like there were countless ants in the wilderness.

The black spots are spreading.

If Gao Lan abandons his position at this time and directly leads his army to charge downward, Zhang Liao's army will not have time to make temporary adjustments to its formation, and there is a high possibility that the brave and capable Wan Sheng army will be defeated directly.

Unfortunately, Gao Lan did not observe the enemy's situation above the bank at this time. He judged that the enemy would attack from the west, so while ordering the archers in ambush on the east side to move to the west, his general flag also began to move to the west.

, perform position changes simultaneously.

Fighter planes are inherently fleeting. By the time Gao Lan ran to the west bank, Zhang Liao's army had already begun to prepare for formation below the west bank. The distance between the two sides was only two kilometers.

distance.

"Stand in line and pay attention to the formation. You have lined up eight hundred times and still can't remember it. Do you have no brains?"

"Everyone, remember, our Wansheng Army's formation has only one formation, and that is the triangular cone formation. All the commanders and commanders of each camp should come to the top of the formation and follow me forward!"

"Hurry up."

The distance of two kilometers seems very far, but tens of thousands of people can't form a formation in a short while, so even if they are far away, they must set up the formation in advance. Under the scolding and command of officers at all levels, Wan Sheng

The army acted quickly.

Zhang Liao doesn't know any other battle formations, or in other words, if he is asked to choose one battle formation to train soldiers every day, he will and will only choose one - the triangular awl formation!

This formation is extremely common in war, but it itself is the most effective and powerful attack formation.

Under the urging of the officers, the battlefield seemed to become extremely chaotic. There was a flurry of chaos, the sounds of soldiers running quickly, the shouts of officers, the collision of armors, and the friction of weapons.

, the crunching sound of iron pieces filled the entire battlefield.

Even the sand dunes under the low slope on the west side were splashed with a lot of dust because of the soldiers crossing. Standing on the slope, Yuan Jun only saw the Qingzhou Army running back and forth, bumping around like ants, but with a

A hint of orderliness.

The yellow dust mist gradually rose, and the Jizhou Army on the slope also began to deploy their defenses. All the spear and shield bearers and sword shield bearers came to the front, and the archers began to arrange formations at the rear.

Although the slope on the west side is shorter, it extends all the way to the east and still has a certain height, which gives it some advantages.

At this moment, Zhang Liao is at the front of the team. This is the fine tradition of Wan Shengjun.

When charging, the entire Wansheng Army will be arranged into five large square formations and ten small square formations. Each small square formation is composed of two pieces, arranged into a conical formation, and is led by the leader. Each large square formation

A combination of two small square formations, led by the Army Sima and the school lieutenant, finally formed a super cone formation, with Zhang Liao at the forefront.

So if you look at the entire Wan Sheng Army from across from Zhang Liao, you will see Zhang Liao standing at the front of the team. Behind him and on both wings are countless soldiers holding spears spread out diagonally, like a pyramid, roaring towards

The enemy rushes past.

And at the pass where everyone was still forming formation, the scouts sent by Zhang Liao earlier hurried back, almost without even looking at the location of the general's flag, they ran straight to the forefront of the army and found Zhang Liao's position.

"General."

The scout captain dismounted and saw Zhang Liao checking his equipment and tying the protective gear on his legs. He knelt down on one knee and reported: "There is new enemy information."

Zhang Liao raised his head and glanced at him: "What's going on?"

"It's just as the general expected."

The scout captain replied: "The enemy ambushed a large number of archers behind the east slope. We sneaked around from the right side and climbed to a small hillside. We saw the archers of the Jizhou Army moving west."

Zhang Liao nodded. Since the glass products have not yet reached the level of complete transparency, Chen Mu selected the best East China Sea crystal and asked the craftsmen to polish eight telescopes. The four brothers Liu, Guan, Zhang and Chen each had one in their hands, and the rest were distributed to

He had several generals, and Zhang Liao had one in his hands.

He had vaguely guessed that the enemy had an ambush on the east slope, so he gave the scout captain the telescope in his hand and asked him to take a long detour through the hills and undulating wilderness on the east side to investigate the high ground.

The situation on the ground.

As a result, the scout captain happened to see the scene where Gao Lan transferred all the archers behind the slope. Human heads with long bows in their hands and quivers on their backs appeared behind the slope. They were all detected by the scouts on the hill with binoculars.

.

This is undoubtedly very important news, because the archers have been transferred, which means that there are only a few watchtowers used for reconnaissance on the eastern slope, and there is almost no defensive capability.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "General, the enemy has transferred their archers. If you send a team of troops to raid the east slope, can you go behind the enemy?"

"

When Lieutenant General Wang Hu saw Zhang Liao's smile, his little mind turned around and he suddenly had some ideas.

Zhang Liao smiled and said: "Huzi, you are quite smart."

"The general will go where he wishes!"

Wang Hu was refreshed. This was a great job. If the raid was successful, he would be able to help the frontal troops defeat Gao Lan's army, which would be their first achievement!

However, Zhang Liao shook his head and said: "I have to do this. Wang Hu, you take my place as the cone head."

"General..."

Wang Hu still wanted to say something, but he had to fight for himself after all.

But Zhang Liao said: "I'm not afraid that you will take the credit, but this matter is of great importance. If we can't disrupt the enemy's flanks in one battle, the people who attack will not only be wiped out, but also may make this battle unwinnable."

, so I must go!”

"Okay, Yui!"

Wang Hu had no choice but to accept it. In fact, he also knew that risks and rewards were directly proportional. Although if the raid could succeed, it would definitely be the first success, but this time, it would also be a narrow escape.

Because the enemy also has a watchtower, although he cannot see as far as a telescope, he will still be seen if he gets close and cannot hide well.

At that time, you will only be a small force. Once discovered, you will immediately be surrounded by a large army.

On a frontal battlefield, tens of thousands of people versus tens of thousands of people. In a real fight, the risk is actually far less dangerous than a surprise attack with a small group of troops. Because the number of people is not much different, and we cooperate with each other, you have helpers and I have helpers, so there will be no danger.

There is a huge disparity in the number of people.

As for the sneak attack of a small force, if you lead a thousand people, you may have to face the siege of thousands of people. It is difficult for two fists to defeat four people. Even if it is not noticed by the watchtower, a thousand people can attack tens of thousands of people.

When an army rushes into battle, it is no different than risking death.

Therefore, after comparing the force gap between himself and the general, Wang Hu had no choice but to give up this task, no longer asked Zhang Liao to hand over this task to him, and honestly chose to lead the team in the formation.

Zhang Liao left behind his general flag and assigned tasks to several generals under his command. Then he led his personal guards and began to shuttle through the crowd to the back row of the formation.

He doesn't have many personal guards, only 500 of them. They are the best elite soldiers in the entire Wansheng Army. Each one of them can equal one to ten, and they are very powerful.

This time, he did not plan to bring too many people with him when he raided the enemy's rear. Because the enemy also set up many watchtowers and some scattered soldiers on the east highland. If there were too many people, it would be easy to expose the target, so he naturally traveled lightly.

A little is better.

The group of people went around the back of their house, using the waist-high weeds and basil in the wilderness, the high and low slopes, or the cover of forest trees to escape from their own military formation without anyone noticing.

Even the vast majority of soldiers don't know that their general has left, because the general's flag is still there, and ordinary soldiers pay more attention to the general's flag than to a specific person.

In fact, Zhang Liao had a great risk in leaving his flag behind. If several generals such as Wang Hu, who was the leader of the cone, were beheaded by the enemy, and the flag that Wan Shengjun regarded as life was taken away or chopped down by the enemy, for those who are accustomed to beheading,

For the Wansheng Army who captured the flag, it was a devastating blow.

By then, even if Zhang Liao wins on the flank battlefield, once he fails on the front battlefield, the consequences will be catastrophic.

However, before leaving, Zhang Liao had already ordered Wang Hu not to rush into action. After the formation was set up, he would first move slowly to the west slope. After his side launched a surprise attack first to disrupt the enemy's rear formation,

Then launch the attack from the front.

After making arrangements, Zhang Liao also quickly started to circle to the east. Almost all of the five hundred people were hunkering down, trying not to be seen by the enemies on the high slope. Fortunately, due to the desolation for too long, the river on the east side of the boundary bridge

The area was covered with weeds and trees, and the enemy's attention was almost entirely on the main force, so no one noticed them.

Soon the group came to the east slope. There were several hills near the slope. There were some watchtowers above. There was a small forest under the front hill. Zhang Liao waved his hand to the guards behind him: "Here are two thousand."

Follow me, people.”

Immediately, twenty personal guards followed. It was said to be hills, but in fact it was a hill twenty or thirty meters high. Zhang Liao emerged from the woods and took the lead and started running up the mountain. The personal guards behind him quickly followed.

There were people watching from below the watchtower on the hill. Originally, these soldiers had to observe the surroundings and be careful of any movement around them.

But because the Qingzhou Army moved to the west, everyone's attention was focused on that side. The Jizhou Army near the watchtower on the east side was also watching the battlefield there. They should have been on guard at the foot of the mountain and even prepared to light up smoke at any time.

The soldiers who sent the signal were all watching the show on top of the hill.

This is obviously a fatal error.

After a while, Zhang Liao easily eliminated the Jizhou soldiers in this small hill. Not to mention lighting up the smoke, not one of them even shouted out, they were all quietly assassinated.

Next, Zhang Liao followed the same example and cleared all the watchtowers on the surrounding hills before continuing to advance with his guards.
