Chapter 1537: Breaking the Army and Riding Hard
Zhang Liao, who commanded 102, plus Guo Jia, who had an intelligence of 101, and Han Xin, who commanded 103, may win if they have mental arithmetic or unintentional.
But Han Xin, who has been promoted to 105 commanders, has become infinitely perfect in commanding the army, and his control of timing and fighters has reached a terrifying level.
Therefore, even if Zhang Liao has an advantage in all aspects, Han Xin can still be the last to come first and turn passive into active.
In short, even if Zhang Liao had 40,000 iron cavalry, it would be difficult to defeat Han Xin's 80,000 army.
"General, Han Xin's shield array is simply a turtle shell, and Han Xin seems to have the ability to predict the prophet, no matter how Xu Huang and Yu Ban change their positions, whether it is flat or vertical shooting, he can always make the best adjustment to the shield array in advance."
After hearing the report of his subordinates, Zhang Liao's face suddenly sank like iron, he naturally witnessed all this, so far the Qin army has shot no less than 200,000 arrows, but under Han Xin's continuous adjustment, the Han army shot is probably less than 500 people.
After pondering for a while, Zhang Liao said lightly: "Order Xu Huang and Yu Ban to change their positions and continue to release arrows until they see that all the arrows are shot." β
"No."
Zhang Liao naturally knew that it was useless to continue to release arrows, but he didn't know how to break the formation, and if he wanted to break the formation by force, he had to consume the opponent's physical strength first.
Zhang Liao has already observed, although this formation is not a Longmen formation, but it also has a restraint effect on the cavalry, a forced attack may be a defeat for both sides, and first consume the opponent's physical strength, when it turns into a tired army, in order to minimize casualties.
On the battlefield, the fierce battle was still going on, but Guo Jia, who was staring at the battlefield, frowned and said: "Our army has no way to break the formation for the time being, and the Korean army has no way to get rid of our army, but if it drags on like this, it will be beneficial to our army and not good for Han Xin." β
Zhang Liao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then frowned and asked, "What does the military advisor mean is that Han Xin is deliberately delaying time?" He's waiting for reinforcements? β
"It's possible."
"But where did he get reinforcements? It's useless for the infantry to come, as for the cavalry, the cavalry of the Korean army is here, and Yuan Shao's side, there are also our people staring at it. β
The look of doubt in Guo Jia's eyes flashed, and after a little contemplation, he said: "I don't know, anyway, let's solve the war, so as not to have too many dreams at night." β
"Understood."
On the plain battlefield, the Qin army's iron cavalry was still surrounding the Han army and constantly firing arrows, and they also returned halfway to replenish the arrows twice, and the total number of arrows shot was even as high as 500,000, but under Han Xin's calm and orderly command, the Han army only paid more than 1,000 casualties.
"Woo ......"
The horn of withdrawal sounded, and the Qin army's iron cavalry immediately retreated, and all the generals of the Han army cheered when they saw this, but Han Xin was the only one with a solemn face.
"Lord, the Qin army has withdrawn, why are you unhappy?" Zhang He asked suspiciously.
Han Xin said in a deep voice: "The Qin army is not retreating, but is about to launch a general attack. β
"What?"
All the generals were shocked, they saw that the Qin army had not dared to come to the formation, and thought that the eight broken army formations had frightened the Qin army, but they didn't arrive first and they still had to fight hard in the end.
"You have to prepare to fight hard, get through it, the sea and the sky are wide, if you can't get through, the whole army will be wiped out." Han Xin said in a deep voice.
Zhang He and the other generals immediately looked stunned when they heard this, it was the first time they had seen Han Xin show such a solemn expression.
Han Xin thought that even if there was no way to break the formation, Zhang Liao would try to break the formation first, but he didn't expect him to be so cautious that he didn't even try, and was ready to directly break the formation violently, which also made Han Xin's plan to take the lead come to naught.
Han Xin knew that even if he relied on a big defense, he might be able to remain undefeated, but it would be extremely difficult to defeat the Qin army, and as long as the Han army did not retreat into the city for a day, or could not defeat the Qin army, the danger of the entire army would still exist.
"Hopefully that trick will work."
Han Xin said secretly, and then shouted and ordered: "Quickly clear the arrows and prepare for a decisive battle." β
"No."
The Qin army shot 500,000 arrows into the Han army's formation, although it did not cause many casualties to Han Xin, but so many arrows remained in the formation, which would inevitably slow down the operation speed of the large array.
Therefore, before the decisive battle, Han Xin of course had to clean up these arrows, and these arrows could also be used to attack the Qin army in turn.
Soon, the 40,000 Qin army iron cavalry regrouped, Zhang Liao looked at the formation that had become a little distorted in the distance, and said with a light smile: "I was shot by our army's strong crossbow for two hours, and the Korean army in the formation must be exhausted at this time, and it is an excellent time to break through this formation in one fell swoop." β
A sentry suddenly came to report: "General Qiyu, the Korean army is cleaning up the arrows. β
"We can't let Han Xin finish cleaning up, pass the order, and attack the whole army."
"Kill ......"
With Zhang Liao's order, the 40,000 Qin cavalry roared and rushed out, and its momentum could be described as earth-shattering, as if even a mountain could be directly shattered.
The soldiers of the Han army in the formation, when they saw this scene, they were immediately pale with fright, they followed Han Xin's southern expedition to the north, and they had also seen many big scenes, but it was the first time that so many cavalry charged together.
Soon, Qin Cai finally entered the range of the Han army's bow and crossbow, and Han Xin decisively ordered: "Shoot the arrows in three stages." β
The Han army has been suppressed by the Qin army's strong crossbows, but the Korean army's crossbowmen have not fired arrows so far because of the range problem, and the soldiers are naturally holding their breath in their hearts, and now that the Qin cavalry has finally entered their range, they naturally suppressed and let go of their hands and feet to shoot.
Whoosh ......
The Han army instantly fired thousands of arrows, and the dense rain of arrows like raindrops shrouded the Qin cavalry together, but the Qin army did not have the slightest trace of arrogance to dodge.
At the forefront of the army, Zhang Liao held high the Qingtian Hook Sickle and shouted: "The momentum of breaking the army, there is advance but no retreat." β
"The momentum of breaking the army, there is no advance or retreat."
"Breaking the Army......
After four or five years, the cavalry formed by Zhang Liao finally returned to Zhang Liao's hands after being full of countless honors.
Although the heavy cavalry in the Qin army does not know a single broken barracks, the broken barracks are still the strongest team in the Qin army, and they have been expanded to a full 5,000 people.
Five thousand heavy horsemen, armed to the teeth, did not have the slightest cowardice in the face of this rain of arrows, as if they had long been accustomed to it.
The endless rain of arrows fell, and after hitting the heavy armor of the broken army's heavy cavalry, it made a tinkling sound, but it could not break the heavy armor, but was directly bounced to the side, and the broken army camp continued to charge against the rain of arrows.
"The momentum of breaking the army, there is no advance or retreat."
"Kill ......," Zhang Liao roared.
