A few days later, it was still a Han army camp north of Hanchang County, upstream of the ditch.

After Zhang Feijun had a certain reserve of grain, he once again launched a campaign against Zhang Lu's army to attack along the valley of the Danqu River.

The banks of the river were so steep that although there were thousands of men and horses on both sides, the front of the battle was only a dozen paces wide, and there was no room for many soldiers.

If it was a dense phalanx of spears, this width would be a row of ten people. But the brute soldiers and Danyang soldiers are the same as hammers, short knives and shields, and they need to leave a little space to slash and move, so there are only seven or eight soldiers in front of them who can meet the enemy, and only when the front is killed and falls, the people behind can rush to the replacement.

There are some shallows on the surface of the ditch next to it, and if you borrow the ten-step wide river, the river water will be about the thigh depth of the Enma Knife. However, the river is located in a mountainous area, and the current is so fast that a knee-high rapids can wash away the unstable soldiers, so the two sides did not take any risks.

In such a fighting environment, because of congestion, it is difficult for all injured soldiers to be carried back for treatment, and they are often trampled to death by both sides when they fall to the ground with minor injuries - this is also one of the reasons why Zhang Fei and Liu Bei were reluctant to attack with all their strength before.

For Liu Bei, Danyang Bing is a strategic resource that cannot be replenished. The world is already in turmoil, and it is impossible to have the opportunity to go to Guangling to recruit troops again, and the future Danyang soldiers either belong to Yuan Shu or Sun Ce Wang Lang.

The biggest difference between elite soldiers and cannon fodder is that they are good at preserving themselves on the battlefield, and they often have rich survival experience even if they are slightly injured. In this kind of life-changing battlefield where congestion does not allow treatment, Danyang soldiers are used to exchange lives with Zhang Lu, thanks to it.

But today, everything is different!

Yesterday, I tried the new gadgets provided by Li Su, and Zhang Fei was very confident!

"Kill!" Groups of Han soldiers, from north to south, followed the downhill mountain, and forced in the direction of Zhang Lujun, so that Yan Pu, the supervisor of Zhang Lujun, was a little suspicious of life.

It turned out that the offensive routine of the Han army had also changed slightly. Today, it is no longer the Danyang soldiers of the previous days who are taking the lead in the war of attrition, but the Hedong soldiers. The military attache who came to the front line to supervise the battle was also replaced by Xu Huang, who was promoted to Sima of another department because of his meritorious service in the previous Yangpingguan Campaign.

On the one hand, this is because in this kind of war of attrition, the Danyang soldiers are more loyal and valuable, and on the other hand, the weapons of the northern infantry are different from those of the southern infantry.

Hedong is close to Hebei and Hebei, so the infantry here is more accustomed to the spear phalanx, just like the "Total War of the Three Kingdoms" played by Li Su in the later generations, which rendered Yuan Shao's subordinates "Euphorbia Warrior Ye Guo Halberd Warrior".

Liu Bei's infantry, who was born in Baibo's elite, although they did not use halberds so extravagantly, they also had the skills of spear phalanx. It's just that Yangping Pass was fought too fiercely before, so they rested for two months, and at first they felt that the Hedong soldiers were not used to the mountainous terrain, so it was useless.

Recently, Zhang Fei summed up the changes in the battle situation and found that the Danyang soldiers could fight on both flanks, while the Hedong soldiers were more suitable for frontal consumption on the flat land of the river valley, so he asked Liu Bei to borrow these soldiers as reinforcements.

As soon as the tactics were changed, the exchange ratio and lethal effect of the frontier suddenly changed.

Although Zhang Lujun and Ban Yuman were more flexible, they stabbed each other in front of the river valley with the Han army, which had the advantage in the length of spears and spears, and immediately fell behind. can only rely on the fierce and fearless mad warriors and barbarians to fight for hand-to-hand combat, but if they can't kill one or two Hedong soldiers, they will be jailed into hedgehogs by random guns.

Only a small number of soldiers with particularly strong climbing ability climbed over the steep slope of at least 45 degrees or more on the side, trying to make a detour of the flank and attack the inconvenient flank of the gun formation, and save some of the decline.

"Is this Zhang Fei's new tactics after resting for a few days? actually didn't take the Danyang soldiers as the front team, it seems that they found that the Danyang soldiers are not conducive to playing in this narrow and congested environment, and it is not conducive to dense formations? It seems that our army has to temporarily retreat and disrupt the gun formation with bows and arrows."

The overseer Yan Pu was secretly worried in his heart, and immediately ordered to make arrangements.

Ban Yu is very good at using poison, not only bows and arrows can quench poison, but also shuttle darts and blow arrows. The physical damage of the latter two weapons is extremely low, because the ammunition flies too slowly, and it will not penetrate the enemy's flesh too deeply, and if it hits any part of the armor, even if it is just leather armor, it will cause no damage at all.

However, as long as they can hit the exposed parts of the skin, although these poisons cannot be directly and quickly killed, as long as the enemy is poisoned and injured, or even just paralyzed and fell to the ground, it can also play a major role.

When the Han army prioritized sparse swords and shields, the soldiers who were poisoned and paralyzed to the ground were not necessarily trampled to death by their own people. But in a dense array of guns that cannot be chaotic, the fallen person is almost equivalent to being trampled to death.

Yan Pu was in a hurry, of course, he had to make this change of formation that he thought was appropriate.

But it's not that easy to change formations.

Thousands of people were crammed into the mountain road, which was originally a military order to all move forward, but now it was going to turn the whole army backward. Even if the drum is immediately changed to Mingjin, it will take a little confusion for a while to adjust, and if you are too anxious, you will directly trample on each other.

Yan Pu is the first strategist under Zhang Lu, although he is still very young, about twenty years old, he knows a little bit about the soldiers, and in the case of the death of other generals of Zhang Lu's army, he can only be allowed to take the top.

……

"Yan Pu's long snake formation has become disjointed! Their rear team has begun to retreat, but the front team does not dare to retreat for fear of stepping on people! It's at this time to wave the flag and let the third brother attack! ”

Liu Bei, who was looking at the battlefield on the top of the hill near the rear, immediately asked his own soldiers around him to wave the command flag when he saw this, and Zhang Fei, who had already taken Zhou Tai and hundreds of elite Danyang soldiers to ambush on the warship, immediately ordered all the twenty small boats in his fleet to be lowered into the water and advance downstream!

It would have been best if Gan Ning hadn't thought that he would cut off the enemy army on land by a detour from the waterway.

If Gan Ning is on guard and dares to intercept it, then use the burning clay pot given by Boya to clean up with Gan Ning!

Be prepared.

In the turbulent current, the boat was naturally fast downstream, and within two or three minutes, it rushed to the back of the head of Zhang Lujun's long snake formation on the shore.

If you look at the formation of these thousands of soldiers as a real snake, then proportionally speaking, this is almost seven inches behind the head!

"Gan Ning didn't come to stop it, quickly shoot a swarm of bee arrows with a bed crossbow to open the way! Then rush to the beach and cut off the enemy army! ”

Each of Zhang Fei's boats was still equipped with a bed crossbow, but instead of a single huge arrow, he shot a whole pot of featherless arrows packed in a tube. The accuracy and range of this shooting method are extremely poor, and it is crooked and slanted from fifty paces away and has no lethality, but when it is fired at close range, the density of fire is extremely terrifying.

When he was quelling the rebellion in Liaodong, Guan Yu used this flexible usage when he broke the Wuhuan Difficult Cliff King in the Moon Formation, and Zhang Fei felt that the second brother's method was good, so he also used it flexibly.

"Buzz~" Several waves of arrows rained out, and the Zhang Lu soldiers, who were originally sparse because of the disjointedness on the beachhead, fell down again, even if they were not shot, they were taken aback by this momentum, and they squeezed the two people to dodge, causing more small-scale trampling chaos.

And Zhou Tai had already relied on the gap opened by this wave of firepower, washed the boat onto the pebble beach, jumped off the boat and slashed forward with a knife.

These twenty small boats can't hold too many soldiers, there are a total of 200 elite Danyang soldiers and warriors, and everyone is equipped with iron armor - because such a narrow terrain cuts off the enemy's battle, there are too many troops to give full play, but crowded on the ship there is not enough space for you to rush to the beach.

Two hundred beheadings are enough!

Zhang Fei also carried a snake spear and landed shortly after Zhou Tai stormed the beach. His snake spear had been recrafted by the best blacksmith in Nanzheng City just last month, and Liu Bei asked a merchant to buy a high-priced piece of iron from the Western Regions from Chencang. During the Han Dynasty, the fine iron in West Asia had been sold to Chang'an along the Silk Road along Longxi and Chencang.

The snake spear is not conducive to foot combat, it is a bit too long, but Zhang Feiyi is bold, and with the assistance of personal guards, he doesn't have to think about the enemy at close range, so he is not afraid at all.

Zhou Tai saw that Zhang Fei had landed, and he also took the initiative to move closer and rush to kill with Zhang Fei. He used an ancient ingot knife, which happened to cooperate with Zhang Fei's long and short, and when he encountered an enemy who pounced on Zhang Fei's approach, Zhou Tai slashed and killed with an ancient ingot knife.

The sword and spear cooperated from far and near, and they actually killed more than a dozen chaotic enemy soldiers in a few breaths, like a mainstay cutting the Yellow River, and the enemy soldiers were like waves crashing into the pillars.

"It's not good, the supervising army, the enemy has broken our army in two by storming the beach by waterway! The rear army was separated! The little school beside Yan Pu quickly discovered the problem and was shocked.

In this section of the area where Yan Pu is located, there are at least more than a thousand Zhang Lujun soldiers, but it is useless! Because the river bank is so narrow, you can only devote less than ten people to hand-to-hand combat at any one moment, so even if you have more than 1,000 people surrounded, you can't quickly break through the 200 people to intercept it.

And the main force of the Han army on the front continued to squeeze up, and with the quality of the Han soldiers, Yan Pu must have been destroyed by dumplings first.

As for Zhang Lujun's rear team, they temporarily retreated and adjusted the formation according to the order, but halfway through the adjustment, the general was dumpled by the enemy and lost his command, so the end was the same as when Zhang He was wrapped in dumplings by Zhang Fei in the ditch.

Yan Pu can be defeated under the strategy against Zhang He, which can be regarded as a little glory.

In less than half an hour, Zhang Fei led Zhou Tai to kill through at least thirty rows of the enemy's human wall! Straight and straight to the front of Yan Pu's banner array.

Yan Pu didn't have any martial arts, he was just a staff officer, and when he saw this, he hurriedly surrendered without restraint.

The banner of Yanpu was cut down, and the rear army that was cut off was even more headless and scattered like flies. Zhang Fei and Zhou Tai turned back and pursued, capturing thousands. The county fortifications around the ditch were not strong, and there was no city wall only a sharp wooden pile wall, Zhang Fei and Zhou Tai took advantage of the situation to rush and kill, and finally took the county seat of Hanchang.

Zhang Lu himself was originally stationed in Hanchang, and in the panic, he took the remnants of the army and took advantage of his own more ships to get all the descendants and horses that he could take away on the boat and fled downstream, and slipped to Danqu County.

Fortunately, Gan Ning reacted and answered halfway, and finally didn't burp directly.

Gan Ning said with relief: "Don't worry! Since I have received the grace of Liu Yuanjun, I promised him to protect you, and you will not be able to die for the time being. Today, only one county has been lost, and thousands of men and horses have been lost. In the coming day, Zhang Fei wants to sneak attack with a boat and break the formation, I will wait for him on the river! Won't let him rush over.

I have lived for twenty-one years, and I will swim in the river at the age of four, and I have been swimming for eighteen years, and no one knows better about the hydrology and water warfare here. The generals who can defeat me on the Danqu River have not yet been born in this world! ”
