Fei Qian looked at the terrain, pointed to the array of Gao Gan, turned his head and asked Zhang Xiu: "If it is handed over to you, how will you fight?" ”

"Prince!" Zhang Xiu, who was originally a little depressed, raised his head suddenly, and there was a rattle around his neck. Zhang Xiu originally thought that he was lucky enough to abandon the punishment of crimes, but he didn't expect Fei Qian to ask him how to fight, which seemed to indicate that Fei Qian was still willing to trust him and let him continue to lead the army to fight, and he couldn't believe it for a while.

"It's okay, let's talk about it." Fei Qian turned his head and did not continue to look at Zhang Xiu, nor did he have any fluctuations in attitude, as if he was saying whether to eat soup cakes or corn at night.

"Yui!" Zhang Xiu was like a tube of chicken blood, and instantly came to his senses, staring at the camp of the high-ranking cadres in front of him with blazing eyes, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "This thief is using a trick to lure the enemy again!" ”

Fei Qian neither nodded nor shook his head, but said, "Go on." ”

Zhang Xiu, who peeked at Fei Qian, suddenly beat a small drum in his heart. Right? Or is it wrong? Or is there part right and part wrong? Zhang Xiu, who didn't find any auxiliary answer from Fei Qian's face, could only continue to say according to the original idea with trepidation: "Qiyu Junhou, the Yuan army's formation, the left flank is based on the cottage, the three sides are steep, and the only flat ramp is occupied by the Yuan army's middle formation, and the right flank is far away from the other side, if we attack the right flank, we will have to go around the mountain, and this flank will inevitably be attacked......"

Zhang Xiu glanced at Fei Qian again, but still couldn't get any information from Fei Qian's face, so he had to continue to say: "If we attack the middle formation directly, on the one hand, we must be careful that the right flank attacks around the back, and on the other hand, it is equivalent to being attacked by the side of the cottage bow and arrow, and we will definitely suffer heavy losses......

"......" Fei Qian waited for a while, found that Zhang Xiu had stopped, glanced at Zhang Xiu, and said, "What else?" ”

"Huh? And also? Zhang Xiu's eyes were about to fall, and he stared at Yuan Junjun's military formation up and down carefully, and said in the future, "This...... No ......."

Fei Qian raised his eyebrows, pointed into the distance with his hand, and said, "You haven't considered the terrain of its right flank. ”

"Terrain?" When Zhang Xiu heard this, he stood up on horseback, looked at it, and said, "There is a meadow on the right wing...... Does the prince mean that there is an ambush in the meadow? ”

In front of the right flank, there is a rather large meadow, although it is already autumn, but the weeds have not yet completely withered yellow, and a large area of yellow, yellow, green and green seems to have some bright flashes......

Light?!

Is it the cold light of swords and guns?

Zhang Xiu almost blurted out, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong, the grass of the meadow is not very high, at most it is to the height of the knees, if it is really hiding soldiers, then it can only dig a pit or lie directly on the ground, but the problem is that the meadow itself is low, at a glance, the meadow is quite flat, although the range is not small, but there is no imaginary pit or traces of being overwhelmed......

"That's the water light." Fei Qian gave a direct answer, "There must be water ...... under the meadow."

"It's water!" Zhang Xiu understood in seconds, and then said angrily, "What a cunning thief!" If it weren't for the prince's insight, he would definitely be taken advantage of by it! ”

Fei Qian smiled and said in his heart, I will tell you that I didn't see it, but Gong Jun and the scouts had already surveyed the terrain here? If it weren't for the location of the mountain spring in the cottage being too good, maybe I'm thinking about some croton or something now, and then wait for half a day, wouldn't everything be over?

"Hmm......" Fei Qian hummed undeniably, and then added, "What about one more point?" ”

"......" Zhang Xiu's face wrinkled.

There is no way, although Zhang Xiu followed Zhang Ji to be born in the Xiliang Border Army, but the problem is that this soldier's knowledge is not determined by his background, and like Fei Qian, he has a theoretical foundation first, and then a lot of practice, even if it was a half bucket of water at the beginning, it is now almost full of eight points, which is naturally much stronger than Zhang Xiu.

"There are also military books in the Pingyang Lecture Martial Arts Hall, remember to go back and see more." Fei Qian didn't continue to embarrass Zhang Xiu, and raised his chin slightly, "Have you forgotten where Yuan Jun came from?" In the distance on the right flank, there must be follow-up soldiers who have arrived from the mountain road in the past few days, waiting for us......"

"I see!" Zhang Xiu was stunned.

"The left flank is a cottage, it is difficult to attack, the middle formation is concave, the defense is tight, if you really want to hit the middle formation, you will withstand attacks in three directions, and there are wet and soft meadows on the right flank, our cavalry can't use it, on the whole, this formation is quite well arranged...... "Fei Qian smiled, "but...... Obviously, this formation also has weaknesses......"

“…… The formation is too long? Zhang Xiu's eyes lit up.

In ancient wars, the so-called famous generals were not built on the basis of winning more with less every time, but on the basis that every battle that could be won must be won.

The number of soldiers on both sides is not uncommon in ancient Chinese wars, but not so many soldiers are on the front line on the battlefield, fighting flesh and blood. The vast majority of the soldiers are actually strictly speaking spectators, and they are spectators who listen to the sound at most, snorting and snorting into the battlefield, and then doing nothing, and the whole battle is won or lost.

The formation of Gao Gan makes very good use of the terrain, but in order to take advantage of these terrains, the whole formation has to be pulled apart, the left wing is high, the right wing is low, presenting a long shape, and the natural formation is longer.

Fei Qian nodded, then added, laughed twice, and said: "That's right, and the most important thing is a defense-oriented formation, so ......"

"What is the most effective against troops that cannot move in a wide area?" Fei Qian laughed twice, beckoned back, and asked Huang Xu, "Is the ballista assembled?" ”

Easy to carry and powerful two different requirements, just like two people sitting on a seesaw, one light and one heavy, to achieve balance, two people are not light or heavy......

This time from Pingyang, Fei Qian brought ten portable ballistas that had just come off the assembly line of Huang's workshop. Thanks to the good quality of the steel produced by Huang's Workshop, fasteners that originally needed to be riveted with wood can be replaced by inlays of steel parts, and they have higher strength, although the overall weight has been increased, but it is not too difficult to carry after dismantling the weight that is dispersed.

The ballista was quickly pushed up, and the black-painted ballista was stupid and inconspicuous, and it was only after the ballista was mounted that it revealed a hideous countenance.

The sword and shield hands moved aside a little to the sides, allowing the ballista to be displayed in front of the formation, and the craftsmen who accompanied the army quickly checked all ten ballista cars one by one, and then signaled to Fei Qian, indicating that they were ready.

Fei Qian waved his hand, indicating that it was time to start.

"Boom!"

Before Yuan Bing could react and see what was being pushed out on the other side, a long crossbow had already slashed across the sky between the two armies, piercing straight down with a roar!

"Ballista!" Gao Gan's pupils shrank sharply.

It's too much!

Isn't the ballista used to defend above the city, how can it appear in such a place, before the two armies face each other!

Before Gao Gan could figure out what was going on, and even thought about what he was going to do next, the whizzing crossbow had already directly penetrated the chest of a Yuan soldier, and then broke the thigh bone of a soldier behind him with a "click", and then he couldn't stop unsatisfied.

"Uproar......" Many soldiers subconsciously sounded in the battle array of Yuan Jun.

"Calm down! Steady! The non-commissioned officer of the grassroots Yuan Army subconsciously shouted loudly, maintaining the order of the battle array.

The soldiers of the Han Dynasty could not shout when they saw the crossbow guns coming, and then scatter and fall to the ground to avoid the attack, but could only close their eyes and pray to God to let the god of fate decide everything. Because once dispersed, the entire array will be dispersed, and then trying to regroup, and then the moment when the two armies face each other, is simply wishful thinking.

"Boom Boom ......"

After the test firing was over, the ballista that had determined the ruler began to shoot at the Yuan army's middle formation in an orderly manner, and one by one the crossbow guns with a sharp whistling fiercely pounced on the position of the Gaogan Chinese army.

Gao Gan immediately fell into an extremely embarrassing situation. Staying put, then it is equivalent to Fei Qian's live target, even if such a crossbow gun can't kill all the Chinese soldiers, but the damage to morale is extremely huge.

When the two armies were in a state of hand-to-hand combat, the casualties were even more tragic than at present, but at that time, all the soldiers' attention was on the enemy, and the casualties of their comrades around them were not the focus of their attention, but now it is different, completely different......

Every soldier who was killed and wounded was under the noses of everyone in the Yuan army, watching them either die happily, the blood in their stomachs flowing on the ground, or they were penetrated by the crossbow but not yet killed, dragged by the soldiers behind, screaming all the way to the back, every Yuan soldier in the middle of the formation, all felt the threat of death, no one knew whether the next one to die was himself, and no one knew how long the crossbow guns of the opposite Zhengxi army array would shoot.

Although the rate of fire of the ballista in Zhengxi is not fast, the range is extremely long, and Yuan Jun can only stand and be beaten, even if the range of the archers hidden in the cottage is doubled, it is not enough to reach half a hair of Zhengxi's array......

"Withdraw the Chinese army further, or withdraw to the camp? Or do you wait here until the ballista in the west shoots all the ballistas? Or send someone to rush up to engage the battle? Or send the right flank to attack the ballistas in front of the formation? Gao Gan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and hesitated, because no matter which option it was, it was not the most ideal answer.

The cottage is halfway up the mountain, where can you retreat? And there is no road in the middle of the mountain, and there is no better platform to line up, although it is the safest to retract the camp, it is not so easy to come out again.

To face up to a head-on battle is undoubtedly to give up your own advantages, so what's the point of having worked hard to set up this formation? It's better to directly arrange an ordinary formation at the bottom of the mountain. Besides, if you move here, the left wing does not, and the right wing may not be able to catch up, which is equivalent to going out alone, not looking for death, but what do you want to do?

Just when Gao Gan was stunned for a moment, he suddenly heard a terrible scream in his ears, and a crossbow gun flashed past him and pierced the waist and leg of one of his guards! In the scream, the blood gushing out suddenly splashed on Gao Gan's cheeks, and Gao Gan's hot facial muscles couldn't help but twitch.

This is just the beginning, when the successive crossbow guns are pierced towards the military command banner of Gao Ganzhong, even the most dull people understand the current danger, this crossbow gun is aimed at Gao Gan!

This ballista from the west can even adjust the angle, and it can still shoot at him!

This, this is really too much!

Can we still have fun together......

For a moment, Gao Gan had the urge to rush forward, but looking at the cavalry team that was already ready in the queue for the expedition to the west, Gao Gan could only grin and give up this idea.

Watching the soldiers die in the distance in front of them and watching the guards around them die is a completely different concept, the senior cadres can roar to stabilize the soldiers in front of them, and they can ask the non-commissioned officers at the grassroots level to take ordinary big-headed soldiers to hold their positions without retreating a little, but when it is their turn to face the threat of death, looking at the guards who were still penetrated and killed even if they were holding shields on the left and right, the muscles on Gao Gan's cheeks twitched, and after all, he couldn't help but order to choose the safest measure and withdraw to the camp, Give up a head-to-head confrontation with the general Fei Qian.

If it is only the casualties of his soldiers, and the senior cadres still have some confidence to insist on it, it will be regarded as combat consumption, but when they are facing a threat of life and death, they will naturally not be able to consume it......

The high-level cadres and the Chinese army retreated one after another, and the problem was not very big, because it was originally on the slope of the mountain, and it was gradually retreated, but it was bitter that the right-wing troops that were originally arranged in a distant place couldn't help but be stunned after hearing the order to collect the troops, and then they couldn't help but scold their mother.

At such a distance, the Chinese army withdrew first, and there was no cover on the right flank during the entire return journey.

"Aha, idiot! Where to run! ”

Just when Gao Gan's right flank hurriedly came in the direction of the cottage, Zhang Xiu was already shouting and rushing over with the cavalry to intercept it.

With Zhang Xiu as the arrow, and the state wolf rode up, forming a very standard and simple arrow array, the two wings hold swords and guns and shields, and the cavalry in the middle is holding bows and arrows, throwing arrows at the Yuan army in front, the feather arrows swish out, whistling through the air, and the retreating right wing Yuan army has soldiers from time to time to fall to the ground with arrows.

Zhang Xiu's laughter was particularly loud: "Quick! Fast! Fuck these idiots! ”

Zhang Xiu's spear is like a living thing, or stabbing or pumping or picking, and immediately killed the right flank of the Yuan army who retreated in a hurry to the cottage, and the Yuan army soldiers who had seen blood in Jizhou were more or less elite soldiers, but now they are like sheep, and they only dare to bleat when they see their comrades being killed, and run to the cottage with their heads stuffy, because they all know that if they can't run back to the cottage, they will all die!

Gao Gan, who fled back to the cottage, looked at the right wing that had been intercepted by Pingpo before, and suddenly realized his momentary negligence, what kind of disaster did this order to retreat cause to the right wing, his throat creaked twice, and finally screamed miserably: "Shoot!" Shoot! Shoot the Ground! ”

The archers in the cottage hurriedly shot arrows, but they couldn't shoot Zhang Xiu and the others close at all, but instead shot and killed many right-wing soldiers who had not had time to escape......

Looking at the tricolor battle flag in the distance, Gao Gan felt that his legs and feet were weak, his head was a little dizzy, and he barely held on to the wall to maintain a standing posture, he knew in his heart that this time, it was over.

What should I do, do I really want to die here?
