On the white cloud road, the dust is flying. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoIf you look at the sky from a bird's-eye view at this time, you will see that the road has made a 90-degree bend around a mountain that stands on the ground. And at both ends of this big bend, the Liang and Han armies with completely different colors of clothing and armor are urgently deployed.

The dust and fog in the sky made the red sunset not very clear, and the surroundings seemed to be shrouded in a layer of light and mist.

The wind blew on everyone's faces from the side, and both sides were affected, but there was no one facing the wind and no one going against the wind, so it was a seemingly fair showdown. The reason why it seems fair is in the number of people. At present, the conquest army under Zhang Jun has 1,000 heavy cavalry in the left battalion of the Longxiang Army, 1,500 heavy infantry in the right battalion of the Hujie Army, and 3,000 in the Crane Army, with a total strength of 5,500 people. The Han army on the opposite side had 6,000 people, and they were also complete with horses, infantry, and bows, of course, Zhang Jun would not tell them that he still had more than 1,000 light horsemen around the back, and the retreat had been blocked.

There is a lot of smoke and dust, but no one cares about the soldiers who are accustomed to a hundred battles in the yellow sand. In the first encounter, the Liang army had the upper hand, and the Han army lost some light cavalry and foot soldiers who were exploring the way, but they did not hurt their muscles and bones.

Zhang Jun rode a war horse and stood on the dirt slope. He put his hand on the pergola, looked at the strict array of the Han army, and knew that this was a difficult bone to gnaw. It is always difficult to take advantage of everything in war, and if you have the upper hand before the battle, then the enemy will turn around and run, and the fool will continue to fight hard.

The current situation, to be honest, Zhang Jun is still very satisfied, because the generals on the opposite side are not weak, and he has given him the illusion that he may win, and even if he fails, he will not be defeated, so the Han army will definitely fight with him in a dignified manner. This is exactly what Zhang Jun hopes for - to use a battle to solve the belonging west of Taoshui!

In the Han army's array, Cao Wenzhu, the general of Lintao City, was also looking at the Han army opposite. Because the middle is two miles apart, it is impossible to see very clearly with the naked eye, but for those with enough battlefield experience, this distance is just right. Erlidi will neither be caught off guard by the assault, nor will it not have enough time to adjust the formation.

I saw that the Liang army on the opposite side was a big formation in front and behind, and the diameter was estimated to be two or three miles. These formations are extremely poorly dynamic, but they are highly defensive. Cao Wenzhu intuitively judged that the Liang army should not take the initiative to attack, but should defend on the spot and wait for himself to fight.

He was originally a Han in Kwantung, and was a general of the Great Jin Dynasty in his early years, and later Liu Yao captured Chang'an, and he was also captured, so he became a general of the Huns. Later, after several battles, he slowly accumulated meritorious deeds and walked to the position of the general of the first army, and he was comfortable under the hands of Assassin Shi Hu Yanyu.

There are battles between Han and Liang almost every year, big or small, mainly in Longxi County of Han State and Jincheng, Guangwu County, Jinxing County of Liangzhou to fight back and forth, the Han army won more and lost less, but in fact, in addition to being able to capture some people's grain and grass, it is not much cheaper.

But this year's situation seems to be a little different, first from last winter to this spring, Liangzhou took the initiative to attack, and then followed by summer as soon as it came, which is not quite in line with the habits of the Han people. People are like this, since they have done something to betray their ancestors and abandon their ancestors, they will desperately belittle their original caste, and they can't wait to lift the alien race to the sky. Under the long-term psychological suggestion, Cao Wenzhu also deeply felt that the Han people were too cowardly, and only the Xiongnu were worthy of ruling this land.

According to the available information, this time the Liang army attacked in two directions, but it is still unknown whether it is the main force coming from the direction of Jincheng or the main force in front of it. But no matter what, Cao Wenzhu is confident of winning. He has fought many times with the elite Chinese army of the Liang army, and he knows too well what level the enemy is. With the same strength, he was confident that he would crush the men and horses on the opposite side.

In this way, the two commanders, who were convinced that they could win, looked at each other for a long time before returning to the army.

Zhang Jun's art of war formations were all learned from books, and he was suspected of talking about war on paper. But he is familiar with these conventional camps in actual combat, and he can roughly judge what the other party's transfer is about, and he feels that it is enough to do so.

In fact, he is completely modeled after the path of the American army in World War II to build a conquest army, no matter what conspiracy you have, I rely on powerful equipment to push all the way through, and the enemy has to give up other small actions and be forced to confront himself head-on.

In the previous battles against the defenders of Zaohan, the formation of the conquest army was with bows and crossbows in front, infantry in the back, and cavalry on both wings, and this time was no exception. The infantry in the middle, the cavalry on both wings, and the crane army were deployed forward, while Zhang Jun was in charge of the bow and crossbow army in front.

Wang Meng, Hu Shuo, Li Yi and the owners of the various armies all came to the Chinese army, looking at the enemy soldiers in the distance, and there were many discussions.

"Everyone, ......" Zhang Jun spoke, and everyone turned their heads one after another, and he said: "I can see it at a glance, and the enemy army is nothing more than that." It is not the Chinese army of the Huns, so it is not sure to deal with some people who have betrayed their ancestors and abandoned their ancestors. We've come so far, we're just waiting to win. ”

"Hahahaha······" The crowd burst into laughter.

Zhang Jun continued: "After a while, the Pontus Governor and Li Yi led the Crane Control Army to suppress it first. This time, we will use the tactics of taking turns to shoot progressively, and first experiment with the effect of bow and crossbow coordination. Our crossbow has a long range, so let's talk about a few more rounds. Wang Meng, you can test the attack from both wings at the same time and see the situation. For the rest of the ministries, I sent heralds to herald the campaign. ”

Hu Shuo saw that he didn't have his own share, and his big eyes were quite unwilling.

Seeing this, Zhang Jun laughed and said: "If the other side can't help beating, the whole army will charge and kill them all in one go!" ”

"Order!" Wang Meng, Hu Shuo and Li Yi hugged their fists.

Zhang Jun waved his hand and said: "There is nothing more to say, the brave wins when you meet on a narrow road." You will return to their respective battalions and prepare for battle. ”

On the high flagpole of the Chinese army, the flags embroidered with the totems of the dragon, tiger and crane were blown "crackling" in the wind. Zhang Jun took a deep breath, tightened the brand-new gauntlet on his hand, pressed the handle of the knife on his waist, brushed the ground out, and shouted: "Control the Crane Army, advance!" ”

"Woo woo······"

Suddenly, the low horn sound of the Chinese army sounded, and the various units of the Crane Control Army began to move forward slowly, spreading like a tide.

"Huh?"

Cao Wenzhu frowned at first, and when he saw that the two armies in a defensive formation actually took the initiative to attack, his eyebrows relaxed, and he immediately looked around to the left and right, pointing at the Crane Control Army that was rushing forward and said with a smile: "The Liang army is just like this, I can't even understand the most basic battle formation method, our army will win this battle!" ”

On the side, many lieutenant generals also echoed their words, and for a while, Zhang Jun's conquest army was no different from the local chicken and tile dog in their eyes······

Cao Wenzhu ordered: "The archers come forward, and when the enemy enters the firing range, they will shoot fiercely, and they will not let them underestimate our big Huns." ”

The Han army here has begun to beat. The Liang army is still advancing steadily. Just when Cao Wenzhu looked at Liang Jun with a disdainful expression, he found that they had stopped about ten steps away from a stone's throw away.

"Is it cowardice?" Cao Wenzhu thought so in his heart, and before he could taunt again, he heard a sudden "buzz" sound on the opposite side. When I looked up again, a relaxed smile instantly froze on my face, replaced by widening eyes and a long mouth······

I saw arrows flying in the air, and before the Han army could react, it fell into the Han army's archer formation like a torrential rain.

"Ahh

"My eyes ······"

"It hurts to death! Help me! ”

A wail sounded, and the archers of the Han army were cut down to the ground in pieces like wheat, and after this round of attacks, they lost thirty percent.

"Stand on the shield!"

didn't have time to think about why the Liang army's bow and crossbow had such a long range, Cao Wenzhu only roared, and quickly hid behind the sword and shield hand. Some of the lieutenants who were still talking and laughing were a little late in reacting, and in the blink of an eye they were nailed to the ground by the second round of arrow rain, and many of them were densely covered with feathers, like a big bird.

"The bow of this Liang army not only shoots far, but how can it shoot ······ Is it that fast? ”

As soon as the battle began, Cao Wenzhu was defeated, which was completely different from the battle in his experience.

"Knock knock ······" The sound of the drums continued to sound, and the Crane Army continued to advance in a neat pace, not only shooting in rows and rows, but also advancing after firing. It's like a layer upon layer of waves, constantly rolling, as if there is no end. The closer you are, the more lethal the arrows become. Even if the Han army cowered behind the shield array, it was inevitable that they would be injured.

"General, it's not a way to go on like this, you have to rush out and get close!" A lieutenant general of the Han army held a large shield and shouted as he retreated.

Of course, Cao Wenzhu knew what to do, but he also drew his saber and shouted: "Sons, rush up with a certain family and hack this group of kings to death······ VIII. ······ Egg! ”

Seeing that the Han army on the opposite side moved, of course Zhang Jun would not let the Crane Army fight in close combat, he raised his hand violently and shouted: "Retreat!" ”

The retreat of the Crane Control Army was not reflexive, but constantly backwards while taking turns shooting. At this time, the horse team of the Han army also sorted, they raised their scimitars, shouted in a disorderly manner, and rushed forward.

Wang Meng had been paying attention to the movements of the cavalry on the opposite side, and when he saw that they wanted to attack the crane army where the Metropolitan Governor was located, he lifted the iron halberd, lifted the horse's belly, and took the lead in moving forward, and the heavy cavalry followed on the left and right, and more horses' hooves rumbled. The horse's hooves gradually accelerated, and Wang Meng led his men to jog forward.

One hundred and fifty steps, Wang Meng shouted: "Kill! "Immediately sprint forward. A large force of horsemen slammed diagonally into the opposite center like a torrent.

The Han army is not a weak brigade, and Cao Wenzhu is not a mediocre general. When he saw the cavalry of the Liang army rushing over, he immediately ordered the foot soldiers to stop and line up on the spot. As a general, the most important thing is to judge the situation and do it knowing that it cannot be done, which will only bury the whole army. Although it was very unwilling to watch the crossbowmen of the two armies in front of him calmly retreat, there was no other way, he could only hope that the horse team under his command could defeat Liangcai!

The archers in front of the Han army had long been killed and wounded, the foot soldiers were dense and the spear formation was protruding, the spears in the back row stretched out from the world, and the front of the phalanx was densely packed like hedgehogs. At this time, the cavalry of the Han army also came up, although it was lightly armed, but it could not be underestimated.

But Wang Meng didn't say a word, took off the crossbow machine on the saddle and raised his hand to shoot. The 1,000 subordinates behind also followed suit, and before the Han cavalry could rush to the front, they first ushered in a rain of locusts and arrows. Suddenly, the sound of falling horses and screams rang out, and the Han army's horse team turned over on their backs, leaking a huge gap.

Wang Meng seized the opportunity, penetrated through, and ······ Insert the emptiness in the middle, and go straight to the Han army foot soldiers!

"Whoosh!" With a sound on the ground, the throwing gun in his hand was taken off, and he saw a soldier with a spear in front of him screaming miserably. The heavy spear, which had borrowed the speed of a war horse, slammed into the soldier's chest, and the man was knocked backwards by the force, knocking over two people in a row. Between the lightning and flint, Wang Meng had already rushed into the enemy formation, and an iron halberd was danced up and down by him, and blood was splashed everywhere the blade reached. The heavy riders behind pulled out their hand knives on their backs, skillfully supported the blade with their left hand, and crossed to one side, only to hear a "click" sound, one head fell down, and blood splashed out like a spring.

The heavy cavalry was almost invincible in the path of the charge, and in addition to slashing, there was also a frantic rush and trampling. There are Han troops who stab with spears and slash with ring knives, but they have no effect except for drawing a spark on Long Xiangjun's body.

In this way, the spear array of the Han army immediately faltered, Shao Tian collapsed, and countless foot soldiers rushed backwards.

"Grand Governor, General Wang has broken through the middle lane and entered the battle!" A pro-soldier report.

Zhang Jun was already on a tall horse at this time, and he could see the scene in the middle, there was a lot of commotion over there, and a large number of Han army infantry camps had already broken up. He was a little dumbfounded for a while, it was less than a cup of tea to start the war, Wang Meng really deserved its name, this is too fierce······

Moreover, the guy did not stop at all, the heavy cavalry in front of them was rampaging in the formation, and the light cavalry of the Han army could only chase after them after regrouping.

At this time, there is no need to hold it anymore, as the so-called "take advantage of your illness, I want your life", Zhang Jun directly ordered: "The whole army will attack!" ”

"Order!" A herald picked up the command flag and galloped away.

Hu Shuo, who had long been unable to bear it, roared excitedly after receiving the order, and ran forward with his own slap knife, for fear that he would run slowly and have no head. The subordinates behind him also roared and strode forward, what kind of general there is, what kind of soldier there is, this style can be inherited.

Wang Meng led a thousand heavy cavalry from the left battalion of the Longxiang army to connect the three-layer infantry phalanx of the Han army, but Cao Wenzhu was not without soldiers and horses available, he constantly arranged for the soldiers to delay Wang Meng's footsteps, and as soon as the horse speed of the Longxiang army slowed down, he immediately organized his subordinates to besiege.

This is an experienced general, even if he is defeated, but once he seizes the opportunity, he may turn the tables at any time.

The power of heavy cavalry lies in the unstoppable ability of the charge, and if trapped and without speed, the heavy armor can become a deadly drag. Wang Meng was about to lead his subordinates out from the flank, when he suddenly heard a fierce man on the opposite side shouting: "Where to go!" And he came up with a spear in his hand.

"Look for death!" Wang Meng also roared and rode his horse to meet him.
