Chapter Ninety-Six: Duel!

Yilin is a common place name in Weihai County, where the terrain is flat and very suitable for growing crops, but it is a pity that there have been wars for many years, and this place has been full of barren grass. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was in such a place that 30,000 Han troops and 40,000 soldiers from Wendeng City were already separated by more than 100 meters and lined up in formation.

"Lao Zhang, this battle is not very easy to fight, the enemy's cavalry is at least more than five thousand, if the enemy uses cavalry to charge, in cooperation with the infantry to press the formation, it is difficult for us to hold on!" Ding Fu looked at the formation of the Wendeng City army in the distance, and said to Zhang Han with a somewhat solemn expression.

Hearing this, Zhang Han's face was not easy, and he said: "I can only force the other party to start an infantry battle, Lao Ding, I have three platoons of heavy infantry here, how many do you have there?" ”

Along the way, although Ding Fu and Zhang Han have not known each other for a long time, they have to say that their personalities are still right, so they come and go, and the names between the two are also extremely casual.

"The same, in the Han army, in the general conventional battalion, there is only one platoon of one hundred heavy infantry, and my three battalions here have three platoons of three hundred heavy infantry, Lao Zhang, what do you mean?" Ding Fu seemed to have thought of something or something, and said to Zhang Han, "Let our heavy infantry defend the enemy's cavalry?" ”

"Not bad!" Zhang Han nodded and said, "With the impact of cavalry, only heavy infantry can resist, unless there is cavalry that can intercept it head-on, but our cavalry is limited, although the heavy infantry is small, but each of them has amazing combat power, enough to entangle the opponent's cavalry, and then lead our cavalry to carry out auxiliary attacks, so as to force the enemy to attack with infantry!" ”

Ding Fu listened, groaned slightly, and said again: "If the heavy infantry is used in this role, then the positional battle can only rely on the light infantry, and in this way, I am afraid that there will be too many casualties!" ”

"Lao Ding, the battlefield is a place where you live and die, and when you go to the battlefield, you must have the consciousness of death!" Zhang Han said in a deep voice.

Ding Fu was a little hesitant in his heart, he knew that what Zhang Han said was right, but he gave up the heavy infantry as a major combat force, even if the infantry started a melee, I am afraid it would be difficult to win, after all, their side is mostly recruits!

"Hey, what is the enemy doing?" Just when Ding Fu was still a little difficult to decide, Zhang Han on the side suddenly said in surprise.

Ding Fu hurriedly heard the sound and looked, in the other party's camp, two thousand foot soldiers with shields in their hands, began to break away from the main formation, and came in their direction step by step, shouting in their mouths to kill! Kill! Kill! The momentum is overwhelming.

"It seems that we don't need to force it, the main general Zhang Jiao also plans to fight with us fairly, Lao Ding, let the light infantry go up, the heavy infantry, you must guard against the cavalry!" Zhang Han said.

Ding Fu's expression was solemn, and he finally nodded and said: "There is no other way, it can only be like this, but the enemy is so rampant, I want to teach them a lesson, the crossbowmen obey the order!" ”

In front of the Han army, the three thousand crossbowmen of the two regiments had already gathered here, and after hearing Ding Fu's words, all the crossbowmen instantly took an attacking posture.

"All crossbowmen, three arrows in front of the battle, throw them with your head up!" Ding Fu ordered, he was originally in charge of the archers of the Han army, and he was still very familiar with commanding crossbowmen to fight.

All the crossbowmen began to draw their bows and arrows, and as the enemy infantry advanced step by step, the atmosphere on the battlefield was already extremely solemn.

One hundred steps, ninety steps, eighty steps! "Shoot the arrows!" As the enemy's infantry entered the range of eighty paces, Ding Fu decisively ordered, and the three thousand crossbowmen fired the first arrow in an instant.

The two thousand attacking foot soldiers in the direction of Wendeng also sensed the crisis, and after the shields they were in one by one, they protected the vital points, all of them accelerated their pace, and began to charge!

"Whoosh!" The sound of breaking the air sounded, three thousand feather arrows fell from the sky, most of the feather arrows shot on the shield, and a small number of successful concentrated targets, there are always some unlucky eggs, some were killed by a direct arrow, some were first shot in the limbs that were not covered by the shield, and subconsciously moved away from the pair of cards under the pain, and then were shot by the next feather arrow!

"Shoot the arrows!" The second wave of arrows fell, taking the lives of more than a hundred Wendeng soldiers, and at this moment, the Wendeng soldiers who attacked in the first wave were only fifty steps away from the main formation of the Han army.

"Shoot the arrows! The first and second companies of the second battalion of the Ruifeng battalion are ready! Ding Fu ordered the third wave of arrow rain to be shot, and when the third wave of arrow rain fell, Ding Fu waved his hand and shouted in his mouth, "Attack!" ”

Two companies of 2,000 foot soldiers moved, they are all veterans of the Han army, have participated in several battles, in the Han army is the elite soldiers, they were the first to contact Liu Chen's new training training, with the order issued, all the soldiers lined up in a neat pace, step ahead step by step!

"Kill! Kill! Kill! The two thousand Han soldiers shouted out the roar in their hearts, and with weapons in their hands, they met the two thousand Wendeng soldiers who had been baptized by the rain of arrows!

When the two armies met, there were casualties in an instant, there was no obvious justice in this battle, just for survival, all the soldiers fought hard, they were the first to enter the battle, and they would be the most likely to be wiped out.

"Kill!" Bursts of shouts and killings sounded, and four thousand soldiers fought to the death between the tens of thousands of troops of the Han army and the Wendeng army, which was only a hundred meters wide!

"General, this Han army is really not to be underestimated, although it has not been established for a long time, but as far as this army is concerned, it can definitely be regarded as elite!" In front of the Wendeng army, **** Yi whispered to Zhang Jiao.

Hearing this, Zhang Jiao's face was also very solemn, and he said: "We all underestimate the Han army, their training methods are very set, you see, their army is a small formation of ten people, relying on each other to fight, and the lethality is extremely strong, and our warriors are too loose, relying on a momentum that is not afraid of death, if the battle continues, I am afraid that these two thousand soldiers will be defeated!" ”

Zhang Jiao's side, all the generals' faces were on one side, they hadn't paid attention to it before, and they all looked at it at the moment, that is, they knew that what Zhang Jiao said was true, the enemy himself had a small formation, all-round combat, enough to deal with attacks from all directions, it can be seen that this Han army is already quite familiar with the combat methods in the middle, even if someone dies in battle, the ten-person formation will shrink accordingly, becoming a small formation of nine people, destroying such a small formation, often their own army has to pay twice the price.

"He Jin, with you leading 2,000 troops, encircling and annihilating this Han army from the left and right sides, and at the same time you must do a good job of defensive measures, we have increased our troops, and the Han army will definitely increase our troops!" After a while, the first batch of Wendeng warriors had begun to show their defeats, and Zhang Jiao also decisively ordered a military general beside him.

"The last general commands!" The military general named He Jin answered, and then with a wave of his hand, the two thousand foot soldiers also left the main formation, followed He Jin, and joined the battle at full speed!
