Chapter 146: The Formation of Euphorbia (3)

During the continuous change of positions of the Euphorbia, the soldiers who were trapped in the camp were gradually divided into two teams, trapped between the "yin" and "yang" ends, and could not communicate with each other and provide any assistance.

What's worse is that within the yin and yang ends of the Liangyi Liuquan Array, those halberd warriors also formed a small formation, further encroaching on the soldiers who split the trapped camp.

The soldiers trapped in the camp were entangled in their hands and feet by the halberders, and gradually fell into the "quagmire". It can be said that the trend of this war is now completely controlled by Zhang He's Euphorbia, and the dominance has completely fallen into their hands.

Eventually, the entrenched sergeants were divided into individual individuals by the constantly "flowing" euphorbia, or two or three or three or four of them, but they were no longer as neatly integrated as they had been at the beginning.

There is no cooperation between each other, there is no support, and they can only fight on their own.

In terms of individual strength, these soldiers trapped in the camp are absolutely unparalleled in the world, and although Zhang He's halberd warriors are also the elite of Hebei, they are still inferior to the trapped camp in terms of individual combat effectiveness.

But the problem now is that while the halberders are dividing and trapping the camp, their own formation is not in the slightest disorder, and they can make a tight cooperation with each other.

On the side of the camp, if someone's weapon pierces the air and shows a flaw, it most likely means that he will be wounded by the enemy in the next moment, and he will be seriously injured or killed.

Although the speed is not fast, the trapped camp is indeed producing more and more casualties under the pressure of the Euphorbia.

The exquisiteness of the battle arrays and the special length of the weapons of the Euphorbia are the two killer weapons they have mastered. It stands to reason that even if the trapped camp is trapped by the enemy formation, unable to meet the battle as a whole, and forced to fight separately, if you look at the strength of their individual strength, they will not fall into disadvantage all of a sudden. However, the halberds used by the Euphorbia were as long as the spears used in the trapping camp, which was enough to give them a lot of advantages in this battle. Often, before the weapons of the trapped sergeant have not yet attacked the euphorbia's body, the halberd in the hand of the euphorbia is already capable of piercing the opponent's flesh and skin.

The situation was very dangerous, but in a matter of moments, the number of dead and wounded in the camp was close to 10%, and nearly 100 casualties were killed.

Gao Shun was stunned, and since he became an army in the camp, although he has also encountered many strong enemies, like today, it is the first time that he has immediately fallen into disadvantage at the beginning of the battle.

Trapped in the camp, this time it is not to capture the enemy's array, but to completely fall into the enemy's array.

The damage of their own side was nearly 100, while the enemy's loss was only about 50.

With the same number, the trapped camp and other armies fought together, and it actually reached a loss of one to two!

The elite of the Central Plains is not as good as it is in the face of the strong troops in the north!

If Gao Shun hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed this fact!

And Cao Cao, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, was trembling slightly at the moment, and his heart was full of worry.

It's so bad, it's unbelievably bad.

Even if Cao Cao's army skipped people, he never expected that the other party's halberd warrior would be so strong, let alone that the other party's commander Zhang He would be such a good general.

What Yan Liang, what kind of ugliness, in terms of the degree of threat, is far worse than the Zhang He in front of him, it is simply the difference between cloud and mud!

This Zhang He was not only able to arrange such a profound formation as the Liangyi Liuquan Array, but also through the use of the halberd, so that the whole army could gain an advantage in the length of weapons, thus changing the weakness of the Liangyi Liuquan Array's lack of lethality.

This person will definitely become a good general in the world in the future! Cao Cao sighed.

At this time, on the battlefield, Zhang He's halberd warrior can be said to have completely suppressed Gao Shun's trapped camp and did not give the other party a chance to fight back.

Looking at the extremely unfavorable battle situation in front of him, Cao Cao was anxious. I saw that his hands were clenched, and his nails had pierced the skin on his palms.

Although Gao Shun is also a master of leading troops, he is not perfect after all, not to mention that victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, if Gao Shun is not able to turn the tide in the end, Cao Cao cannot blame him.

However, if this battle is lost, the consequences will be unimaginable, even if he Cao Cao wants to criticize Gao Shun, it is estimated that there will be no chance.

As a bystander, Cao Cao certainly saw what the weaknesses of the Liangyi Liuquan Array set up by Zhang He were.

Lack of mobility is the biggest weakness of the Liangyi Liuquan Array, or the biggest weakness of the Liangyi Liuquan Array set up by this Euphorbia.

The weapon of the halberd is a long halberd of one zhang and five feet long, and the lack of mobility has always been a constant weakness in ancient and modern Chinese and foreign military formations that use ultra-long weapons.

Even the Macedonian phalanx, the world's most famous spear formation, has a weakness of insufficient mobility to the extreme. Because the Macedonian phalanx was armed with spears up to 18 feet (nearly 5.5 meters), the soldiers could only walk forward in the middle of the formation, and it was difficult to even move laterally, let alone retreat. Such a military formation, which is seriously lacking in mobility, even if it can become famous for a while, will not be able to escape the fate of extinction. During the Second Macedonian War, the Roman army used its speed advantage to bypass the front of the Macedonian phalanx, quickly crushing its flanks and rear, resulting in the destruction of the Macedonian phalanx, which was famous in Europe.

The length of the weapons used by the Euphorbia was not as long as that of the Macedonian phalanx, so the problems in terms of mobility were not as serious as those of the Macedonian phalanx, but the length of the halberd, which was much longer than the conventional weapons, still caused the Euphorbia to move faster.

Although the Euphorbia did not do the Macedonian phalanx, the soldiers in the formation could not even move laterally. It can be said that this Euphorbia has no problem in moving angles, and even according to the needs of the change of formation, this Euphorbia can also switch directions in different directions more dexterously. However, the fact that you can move in different directions or move deftly in a local area does not change the fact that the overall speed is not fast.

If Gao Shun had not commanded the trapping camp to attack the Euphorbia head-on, but had taken advantage of his speed to divide half of his men and horses around the two wings of the Euphorbia, and launch a flank attack at the same time, the situation would have been much better than now, and the chances of victory would have been much greater. Although the Liangyi Liuquan Array is an extremely advanced formation, because the weapons used by the halberds are all halberds, the gap between people is also relatively large. In other words, although the lethality of the Liangyi Liuquan Array launched by this Euphorbia is much greater than that of the ordinary Liangyi Liuquan Array, it is more loose in terms of formation, and if Gao Shun launches a flank attack from both the flank and the front, it is very likely to break through the enemy formation.

It's a pity that the established battle situation can no longer be changed, and the current fact is that the trapped camp is besieged by the Euphorbia, and they can't get out of the battle.

What to do, Gao Shun gritted his teeth and thought hard about countermeasures.

If he could, he really wanted to raise his gun and ride his horse, break into the enemy formation, rush straight to Zhang He, and stab him to death with a gun in his hand.

Zhang He is the commander of the Euphorbia Warriors, and he is also the commander of the whole array, as long as he dies, his formation will collapse.

But it is a pity that the so-called fighting array is compared to the combat ability of the soldier's military array. As the commanders of the military array, Gao Shun and Zhang He can sit and command how the military array should fight, but they can't fight in person, otherwise it will not be a fighting formation, but a fighting general.

Like Cao Cao invaded Xuzhou a few years ago, he fell into the camp outside Pengcheng and fought with Chen Zhi's Bai Wei soldiers, Gao Shun and Chen Zhi, as the commanders of the two armies, did not personally fight.
