I have to say that although Zhai Huang, the deputy general of the Shang Water Army, always has a pleasant image of a veteran on weekdays, and does not care about assisting Wu Ji, the general who is not yet able to take the lead alone, but on the battlefield, this veteran is cunning and cunning, but it will never be inferior to Yan Mo, the deputy general of the Yanling Army.

In fact, when Zhai Huang led the army into the hinterland of his merchant army, Zhai Huang guessed that the Storm Kite was likely to surprise his Chinese army.

Because he can understand the current situation on the battlefield.

Don't look at the current situation on the battlefield, it seems that the Korean army has the advantage, while the Wei army is divided into two parts, and the situation is very disadvantageous. But in Zhai Huang's opinion, his merchant army was just caught off guard by the strange sneak attack route of the cavalry of the Storm Kite Army, so it showed a temporary disadvantage.

What about being split into two parts?

Zhai Huang could see clearly that at this time in the front army, Ran Teng, a special thousand-man general, had already exercised his temporary front-line command right that he had the right to use in an emergency, took over the front-line troops, and quickly put those Wugang cars into a self-protecting formation.

This seems to give the South Korean infantry a chance to rush in, but in fact, those South Korean infantry can't break through the Wugang chariots arranged in a square gate formation - and those Han cavalry are the same, they can't break through the Wugang chariots either.

In this case, Zhai Huang didn't need to worry about the front army at all, because the front army was enough to protect itself.

It is even very likely that the front army will launch a counteroffensive after it has stabilized.

After all, the front army of the merchant water army on the battlefield here was the three most elite thousand-man teams of their merchant water army, the Ran Teng team, Xiang Li's team, and Zhang Ming's team, and the sergeants and soldiers were particularly brave.

Perhaps the Korean sword and shield soldiers can pose some threat to the Shang Shui army in the mountains and forests, after all, the former is light infantry and is relatively more agile in complex environments. But in the current battlefield of this kind of legion, where is there any room for those light infantry to toss and move? In this kind of battlefield, any fancy killing skills are unnecessary. Just like the soldiers of the Su Wang Army, the only way they attack back and forth is shield strikes and sword swings, and there is absolutely no move like jumping up and slashing.

Because on the battlefield, a soldier often only has a split second gap to swing his blade at the enemy, and then, either the opponent dies or you die, it's as simple and rude as it gets.

Any fancy way of attacking is a self-defeating act on the battlefield.

Unless you are above the rank of general, then, when you are fighting with the enemy general, the friendly soldiers around you will subconsciously make room for you, otherwise, in the crowded battlefield want to jump up and resplit? Don't even think about it!

Therefore, in this kind of battlefield with dense soldiers, the heavy infantry has a natural advantage, because the solid armor allows him to make a mistake in a shot, and the strength of the infantry itself is also the reason why the Wei infantry is strong.

Summing up these reasons, Zhai Huang is not worried about the vanguard of the front team, he thinks that as long as the soldiers of the front army are stable, the soldiers of the Han army will definitely not be able to get any cheapness. What's more, there are still thousands of people on the front line who will take Ran Teng as the commander, and Zhai Huang still recognizes Ran Teng, a brave general of his merchant army.

Therefore, what Zhai Huang was thinking about at that time was how to eradicate this cavalry of the Storm Kite Army that disturbed the formation of his merchant army.

He knew, and thought that the Han general on the other side - he didn't know that the Han cavalry was personally led by the storm kite - could see the situation on the battlefield and make a judgment that the Korean army was not enough to defeat his merchant army, and in this case, the only way for that Han general to turn the tide of the battle was to defeat the army where the flag of his merchant army was located, and to kill the general and capture the flag.

Therefore, Zhai Huang had already guessed that the Han cavalry on the opposite side would lead the army to attack the Chinese army where he was, so he quietly ordered to line up the repeater chariots one step in advance on the path that the storm kite must pass, and at the same time, he deliberately ordered the defense line to be contracted, so that the storm kite made a wrong judgment, thinking that the Wei army's Chinese army was shrinking the formation in order to strengthen the defense.

And when the storm kite and the three hundred cavalry launched a charge towards the Chinese army, and the distance was already close at hand, Zhai Huang ordered the soldiers who deliberately blocked in front of the repeater chariot and used their bodies to hide these war weapons to retreat to both sides.

I have to say that Zhai Huang's decoy of the enemy is quite good, so much so that when the storm kite found that the Wei army was shrinking the formation when he was charging, he subconsciously thought that the Wei army was stepping up the defense, so he did not hesitate to lead three hundred cavalry to rush over.

However, when the Storm Kite Army was about to rush to the position of the middle army of the Shangshui Army, they were greeted by more than a hundred hideous repeater chariots.

"Shoot the arrows!"

With Zhai Huang's order, more than 100 repeater chariots launched a salvo, and more than 300 finger-thick crossbow arrows whizzed out.

At this time, the storm kite, which rushed to the front of the team, also stared, realizing the crisis it was about to face.

But their speed at this time, it was too late to turn the direction, the only thing he could do was to deviate the direction of the charge as much as possible, pull the reins desperately, and pull the cage cover to the north, hoping that the war horse would run north.

But unfortunately, at this time the crossbows of the Wei army had already launched a salvo.

"Puff puff puff—"

The sound of a series of sharp blades piercing through the pieces of flesh continued to sound, and in just the blink of an eye, I saw the three hundred cavalry of the Storm Kite Army turning on their backs, and there were many Korean cavalry who rushed in front, and the men and horses were pierced by the crossbow arrows of the repeater.

Storm kites are not immune to this fate.

The first crossbow bolt grazed his face, and the sharp and powerful crossbow arrow scraped a bloody mark on his face, and then shot the head of a Korean cavalryman behind him on the spot, splashing the red and white objects on the body.

The second crossbow bolt pierced the belly of the horse under the crotch of the kite, and also pierced the right leg of the kite.

But compared to the rest of the cavalry in front of the 300 cavalry, Storm Kite was lucky, because at least he escaped death, while the rest of the cavalry were killed on the spot by the Wei crossbow.

In a volley, the three hundred cavalry led by Storm Kite directly reduced most of their personnel, and only the cavalry at the rear of the team narrowly escaped.

With a "bang", the battered horses under the crotch of the violent kite collapsed to the ground, and even the violent kite was thrown down.

"General!"

The cavalry behind hurried up, and one of the cavalrymen gave up his mount to the kite, and together with the rest of the cavalry, he helped the kite onto his horse.

At this time, the violent kite looked at the Wei State crossbow chariots twenty or thirty zhang away.

It has to be said that when the crossbow arrow was scraped in the face, his heartbeat almost stopped, because at that moment, he felt the fear of death so strongly that when the second arrow pierced his horse and right leg, he didn't even feel the pain immediately, because he didn't react at all.

"That's ...... Trap crossbow?'

The kite-like swallowed.

In fact, as early as during the Battle of Shangdang, in the Battle of Hyun City, Storm Kite had already learned that the Wei army had a powerful crossbow, but the most beautiful thing in that battle that day was the heavy riding of Shangshui Pleasure Horse, which was unique for a while. As a result, powerful war weapons such as the Wei repeater crossbow were also overshadowed by the scenery of heavy horseloading, so that when the storm kite led the cavalry to charge the Chinese army of the Shang Shui Army today, trying to kill the generals and capture the flag, he could not remember that the Wei army still had such sharp weapons.

"General?"

A Korean cavalryman looked at the kite without saying a word.

The kite understood what the knight was trying to say from the knight's eyes, and the latter wanted to ask him what to do now.

But "what to do now", this question is not answered even by the storm kite himself.

He thought really well at first, leading three hundred cavalry to kill the Chinese army of the Shangshui Army, beheading the generals and capturing the flag, but he didn't expect that he had just led the army to the Chinese army of the Shangshui Army, and was taught a hard lesson by more than 100 crossbows.

Looking at his bleeding right leg, a thin layer of sweat oozed from the forehead of the violent kite.

At this time, in the middle army of the Shangshui Army, which was about twenty or thirty zhang away from the violent kite, the veteran general Zhai Huang was looking at the Han generals who were surrounded by many Han horses in the distance.

Zhai Huang didn't quite recognize that it was the violent kite in South Korea's "Beiyuan Ten Heroes", but this did not prevent him from secretly laughing at the Korean general on the other side - what age is it, and he is still trying to win a battle by charging into battle to kill the enemy general?

Why did Wu Ji, the general of the Shang Water Army, ride alone to kill the Han general Xin Zhan, and be so respected by tens of thousands of soldiers of the Shang Water Army, resulting in Wu Ji even though he is now removed from the position of general by Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, the soldiers still respect him from the bottom of their hearts as General Wu Ji?

Isn't it because it is almost rare to see such a thing as a single horse to kill an enemy general in the Central Plains battlefield?

It is no exaggeration to say that as the crossbow-making technology of the Central Plains countries has become more and more superb, the era of fierce generals has come to an end, because no matter how brave the fierce generals are, as long as they are still human, they will not be able to resist the salvo of bows and crossbows.

A while ago, Wu Ji was able to kill Han General Xin Zan alone, it was his luck, a coincidence, after all, the situation on the battlefield was very chaotic at that time, otherwise, as long as Xin Zan had a few more guards around him at that time, even if the power of riding a crossbow was not as good as a crossbow, at least he could force Wu Ji to retire, and even let Wu Ji be injured.

And right now, Storm Kite is also trying to turn the tide on the battlefield with his personal bravery, it can only be said that if it was decades earlier, he might still have a chance to achieve this feat, but now, not to mention that the Shang Shui Army has a crossbow chariot, even if it doesn't, just with the crossbow soldiers in the Shang Shui Army, the Storm Kite can taste the taste of stepping into the ghost gate with half a foot.

"General, withdraw."

Seeing that the violent kite looked at its injured thigh and did not speak, and saw that the crossbowmen in the Wei soldiers in the distance were already aiming at them, a cavalryman persuaded the violent kite.

Hearing this, the violent kite glanced at the military flag of the merchant army in the distance with nostalgic regret and a little gloomy eyes, and then gritted his teeth and chose to retreat.

Because if he doesn't leave, he won't have a chance to leave.

The injury of the storm kite meant that the Qiguan cavalry's assault on the Shang Shui army failed, as Zhai Huang judged, the soldiers of the Shang Shui army were indeed stunned at first, but after they stabilized, it was doomed that the Han army could not really defeat this army.

The main reason was that the Korean cavalry failed to give full play to their strength, because the Wei army's Wugang chariots and sword and shield soldiers severely limited the area of activity of the Korean cavalry, making it difficult for the Korean cavalry to move freely.

With the retreat of the storm kite, the Korean soldiers on the battlefield in front of Qiguan also retreated one after another, while the Wei army, after a simple reorganization of the formation, continued to attack Qiguan.

As he retreated, Storm Kite glanced back at the Shangshui soldiers who had regained their strength, and sighed secretly in his heart.

Although from the current point of view, Qi Guan has not shown the slightest sign of being captured, but in the eyes of the storm kite, in this battle, their loss is already very big.

At this time, he could only hope for reinforcements from Handan, and it was best to have the support of the three "Yanmen Shou", "Shanggu Shou", and "Beiyan Shou".

In Storm Kite's heart, it was a colleague he thought he couldn't catch up.
