Chapter 196 Zhang He's Tactics

Although the tripping rope and the barbed wire were successful in the first battle, this kind of equipment is only the first battle.

Seeing that the other party had noticed the pit and trench behind the tripping rope, Zhang Yun was not surprised at all, but just pulled out the long sword from his waist and held it up to the sky.

"Arrowers prepare!"

Thousands of bows and crossbows were opened and pulled, and the creaking sound almost overshadowed the galloping horseshoes in the distance!
The distance of two hundred feet and the obstruction of ten trenches made Tian Yu's cavalry unable to charge at all. Few knights with excellent horsemanship could ride their horses over the pit, but most of the cavalry would slow down near the pit. Pass at a constant speed.

But at this moment, the trembling hum of thousands of bow and crossbow strings sounded almost simultaneously!

It's like a huge zither playing an abrupt note between heaven and earth!
Tian Yu looked up and saw a dark cloud in the low sky not far away!
The cavalry who couldn't charge were shrouded in thousands of arrows, all they could do was hold back with their swords on the spot!

And they can block a salvo, but they can't stop the second round, the third round!
In the opponent's battle formation with only [-] infantry, feather arrows and crossbow arrows poured in as if they didn't want money!

"Damn it, is Zhang He crazy? Where did he get so many arrows in this small Bianchui town!?"

The cavalry in front were shot off their horses one after another, but this time they were the real casualties!

Tian Yu stared at this scene with wide eyes. He never thought that his cavalry had already started to suffer losses before they rushed to the opponent!
And those who had the same question as him were several school officials around Zhang He.

"General! We have limited supplies. You just fired this round and used up almost [-]% of the arrows in our city! If we continue to use them like this, how will we defend the city?"

"If you don't kill enemies, do you keep them?"

Zhang Xi glanced at the school officer beside him, and then continued to order:
"Bowmen in the rear! Keep firing arrows! Kill the enemy with all your strength!"

Under the cover of dense arrows, Tian Yu's cavalry was extremely difficult to advance, but seeing that the opponent's infantry battle formation was tens of feet away, as long as they rushed over and rushed into the opponent's battle formation, they could stop the opponent's bow The crossbowman continued to shoot, and the army could not withstand such a heavy pressure, so Tian Yu couldn't bear to retreat!

"Damn! After this battle, I will ask the general to slaughter the city!"

After cursing fiercely, Tian Yu decided that since he had already suffered such a big loss, he might as well decide the outcome in one battle, lest he would be more embarrassing if he retreated back!
"Soldiers! Let me rush into the enemy's formation! Kill them all! First enter the enemy's formation, beheading Zhang He, reward a hundred taels of money!"

Vigorously throwing the sword in his hand on the ground, Tian Yu lifted up a spear with an ordinary shape but exceptionally bright luster, and held it up high. spear.

"Everyone! Charge with me!"

The general charged himself, and Tian Yu's actions immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the soldiers around him, and the cavalry galloped one after another.

At this time, there was no tripping rope in front of them, and the trenches in front of them were all exposed. Except that the speed of passing through the trench area was slower, there were no other obstacles!
"General Zhang He! The opponent is charging!"

"it is good!"

Zhang Yun raised his sword and cut off the head of a Youzhou cavalryman who had rushed to the front. Then he flew to stand on the horse, glanced at the front of the battle formation and shouted:
"Stop the crossbow! Cavalry on both sides, start charging! Cut off the enemy formation!"

The horn sounded from the central army, located on both sides of the infantry formation, a total of [-] Jizhou cavalry began to move immediately!
At a distance of four hundred feet, charge each other horizontally!
The charge of the two not-so-large cavalry went extremely smoothly this time. There is no other reason, but because the Youzhou cavalry was hindered by the trap before, and they could not exert their full strength at this time. Although they are large in number, they can really The location where the confrontation with Jizhou soldiers and horses is not big, and most of the cavalry are still passing through obstacles at a constant speed, there is no time to support the team that is under attack in front!
As for the cavalry who had crossed the trench area, they had no time to increase their speed to the highest level, and were immediately surrounded by the infantry led by Zhang He who rushed forward and strangled them!

The front was trapped in an infantry stranglehold, but the support from the rear was blocked by the opponent's cavalry charging horizontally. The Youzhou cavalry, which could not increase its speed in the first place, took less than two quarters of an hour to send away the first to rush Zhang He's infantry formation. The lives of hundreds of cavalry!

"Five thousand cavalry, can't you take down these 3000 people? What is that guy Tian Yu doing!?"

Although Gongsun Zan in the distance couldn't see the specific situation in front of him clearly, the Pegasus detection reports coming back at any time and the continuous passing of time had already begun to disturb him.

"General, it seems that Zhang He is not as simple as we thought at first!"

A man riding a white horse with a mighty figure but only wearing ordinary school officer's armor patted his horse forward and stood beside Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan glanced sideways and frowned inadvertently.

"Yan Gang, what's your idea?"

The person who came was Yan Gang.

Because of the unfavorable guarding the secret room, Liu Bian escaped from Beiping, and was demoted by Gongsun Zan to an ordinary school official, but he still took office in Baimayi, but he was no longer the leader.

Yan Gang looked into the distance and said:
"Our army has just arrived in Jizhou, but Zhang He has been preparing here for many days. His fortifications must have been fully prepared. But seeing how he behaves, I am afraid that there are indeed not many soldiers. General Tian Yu is blocked in front , just because the strength under his command is not enough to completely wipe out the terrain advantage prepared by the opponent in advance, according to the general's opinion, the general can directly lead the army to charge, and the enemy can break through immediately!"

"As long as that is it?"

Gongsun Zan looked at Yan Gang with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"As long as that's the case!"

Yan Gang nodded heavily and said: "General, this battle is the first battle in Jizhou. We must win this battle!"

"Um……"

Gongsun Zan nodded, but did not give the order immediately. Instead, he turned to other directions and asked for other people's opinions.

Yan Gang lowered his head slightly, then retreated respectfully to his own army formation.

In the past, Gongsun Zan would definitely take his suggestion without hesitation, but now, he also knows that he has lost the other party's absolute trust.

Even so, Yan Gang is still loyal. He has a clear conscience. He also remembers all the kindness Gongsun Zan has shown him in the past. He believes that it only takes time to prove his ability and loyalty, and then regain his trust. .

As soon as he retreated to the battle formation, Yan Gang heard a familiar voice not far away.

"Everyone obeys the order. Before going out, you must first ask for instructions! If you don't obey, you will be dealt with by military law!"

Yan Gang looked up, and saw a Qianqi commander of Baima Yicong, who was staring at him. This person was the one who was defeated by Liu Bian at the beginning.

Knowing that the other party was talking about him, Yan Gang didn't talk to him, but quietly retreated to his place.
