Chapter 227: The Yuanmen Confrontation, Xu Huang is strategic
Trapped in the camp with heavy armor, although they are agile, they can't run, they can only move slowly towards the gate!
First, the armor is too heavy!
Second, it was inevitable to disrupt the formation, so I had to make this decision!
In infantry battles, the formation is particularly important, once the formation shows signs of disarray, it means that it is not far from rout!
After entering the land of one stone, the soldiers who were originally following behind the trapped camp, under the command of Gao Shun, took the lead in launching a decisive charge against the Youzhou battalion!
The soldiers of Xuzhou are facing a very serious problem! Without war horses, it is difficult to form an effective impact on the shield soldiers in front of the gate!
With only the impact of the infantry, it is difficult to break through the phalanx of shield soldiers!
Xu Huang has always had the ability to command troops, and after the battle of Xiangfan in history, Cao Cao did not hesitate to praise him for his style of Zhou Yafu!
After completing the transfer of military power with Han Dang, Xu Huang immediately began to work on the deployment of the battalion!
Xu Huang personally led people to arrange horses, barricades, thistles terrestris in front of the gate, and even dug a deep pit with a diameter of six feet and a depth of about one zhang every ten steps or so, the deep pit was full of barbs, sealed with a rain cloth, and covered with a layer of sand on the rain cloth, the trap was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, once accidentally fell into the pit, it would definitely die!
Xu Huang made a lot of changes to the armor of the shield soldiers, and he ordered the craftsmen to split the armor of the shield soldiers, and remove all the parts behind him, just protect the front of him!
With the armor in front of them and the back exposed, this will reduce the burden on the shield soldiers, allowing them to swing their shields more easily to block oncoming attacks!
Xu Huang also wanted to use this move to convey an obvious signal to the shield soldiers: when the battle is approaching, there is no advance or retreat, and there is no death and no life!
Xu Huang also made some adjustments to the sergeant who was in charge of the attack with a spear! He especially emphasized and corrected the posture of the soldiers holding the spear, from holding the spear in the front hand to holding the spear in the backhand, so as to reduce the chance of exposing the armpit and greatly increase the probability of survival of the soldiers!
Xu Huang ordered the soldiers armed with spears to put the spears on the shoulders of the soldiers in the front row when attacking the enemy, which saved a lot of physical strength for the soldiers and greatly increased the time for the soldiers to swing the spears and stab them!
Each soldier is tied to his shoulders with a smooth animal skin, which protects his shoulders and reduces resistance when he is stabbed with a spear!
Xu Huang ordered someone to add a row of walls inside the fence for the crossbowmen to shoot the enemy from a high position!
After the war began, after two rounds of arrow rain, Gao Shun commanded the army to the end of the trip!
The gate was close at hand, and the Xuzhou soldiers had just shown the expression of the rest of their lives, but in the next moment, the tragedy came as scheduled!
In front of the gate!
The Xuzhou soldiers who charged in front, the light ones clicked their feet, held their feet and jumped in place, and the heavy ones died tragically, and some of the Xuzhou soldiers who went out and didn't look at the yellow calendar suddenly felt a light foot in the process of charging, and the whole body fell into the pit.
After a series of screams, the Xuzhou soldiers who followed followed stopped one after another, leaned over in horror, but saw that the robes had all died in the pit, and their condition was unbearable!
Gao Shun frowned silently, with an inexplicable look that made people go to check it out!
After a long time!
The scout went and returned, and told Gao Shun what happened in front of the gate to Gao Shun!
"Gone Han Dang, come to Xu Huang again!" Gao Shun slapped his thigh heavily, suddenly had a heart to catch it, and muttered to himself: "Everyone in the world says that the soldiers in Youzhou will be fierce, and they didn't believe it before. Now it seems that I have to believe it! ”
The tragic scene in front of the gate made all the soldiers in Xuzhou stand on the spot, Rao is only a moment of effort, but the oncoming crossbow arrows will not have the slightest pity for them!
The crossbow bolt enters the body, and the pain hits!
The person who was hit by the arrow first felt a tightness in his heart, and then fell to the ground with a cry of pain, rolling all over the ground in pain!
The soldiers of Xuzhou know the power of the strong crossbow in Liaodong, and those who are hit by the arrow are either dead or disabled, and those who pull out the crossbow arrows are disabled! Whoever does not draw a crossbow bolt will die!
Most people choose the latter, they can't do it to themselves!
However, there is no shortage of ruthless people in the world, and a few people with firm minds have a horizontal heart, gritting their steel teeth, and pulling out the crossbow arrows from their bodies, and the arrows bring out large pieces of minced flesh, and blood gushes out of their bodies in an instant.
As a result of this, there are only about two, one is to bleed to death. The second is that he survived by luck and ended up with a tragic ending of lifelong disability!
Those who are in the middle of the body are not among the above!
Gao Shun saw that the soldiers were afraid of the battle, and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, looked sideways at the trapped camp that was slowly advancing, and ordered in a loud voice: "Speed up the pace and hit the gate!" ”
At a critical juncture, it is more reliable to be trapped in the camp!
After getting Gao Shun's order, the generals didn't care about the integrity of the formation, and rushed in the direction of Yuanmen!
Looking at the scattered camp, Gao Shun suddenly felt sad about the death of the rabbit and the fox, and he had vaguely guessed the result of this battle!
In the face of the Youzhou army, Gao Shun often has no choice but to act!
The appearance of the Liaodong strong crossbow is enough to make the Youzhou army invincible, and the sufficient range advantage means that the Youzhou army can take the lead in launching a long-range attack on the enemy when fighting against the enemy, and cause effective damage to the enemy!
The first strike, the second strike is controlled by others, the two armies are facing each other, and the first strike is very important!
After a long time!
Under the command of Gao Shun, seven hundred trapped warriors crashed headlong into the phalanx of Youzhou shield soldiers guarding in front of the gate!
I have to say that the elite combat power is indeed not comparable to cats and dogs!
When the trapped camp was charging into battle, it deliberately lowered its body and slammed into the phalanx composed of giant shields with its right shoulder as the axis!
The trap camp is fully armored, and a thick layer of leather armor is specially added to the right shoulder, which can be used for charging into battle!
Two armies collide!
There was a heart-rending scream in front of the gate!
Gao Shun followed the prestige, couldn't help but gasp, and then scolded: "Xu Huang is treacherous! ”
Xu Huang has made a lot of changes to Bu Dun!
When the infantry shield is defending the formation, most of the shield faces are covered with spikes, which can make the enemy throw a rat and dare not launch a frontal charge against it with flesh and blood!
Xu Huang made great changes on the original basis, he ordered people to put down all the spikes on the shield surface, and then installed a mechanism behind the shield, the improved step shield, the surface looks extremely smooth, but as long as the shield soldier twists the mechanism, the shield will immediately erect a row of hard spikes!
In order to deal with the trapped camp, Xu Huang really took great pains!
The scene in front of me corresponds to an old saying: If you can hide from the first day of junior high school, you can't hide from the fifteenth!
The trap camp dodged the catapult's catapult and the damage caused by the crossbow bolts, but in the end they fell to the seemingly most inconspicuous shieldmen!
As soon as the two sides clashed, they immediately paid an extremely heavy price when they fell into the camp!
Gao Shun made a rough estimate in the rear, and after a blow, the casualties of the trapped camp were as high as fifty!
