Chapter 100: Low-level confrontation
This time, Zhang Fei brought 8,000 soldiers and horses, a full 3,000 thickened version of the rattan shield that was made overnight, and he swore that this time, if Wei Yan dared to come out with that army of soldiers and horses again, he would definitely make him look good. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The battle formation of the Guanzhong army is a few years of continuous training and actual combat tempering, some like Li Jing's six-flower array in the early Tang Dynasty, but it is different, Li Jing's six-flower array is a cavalry-based formation, and the Guanzhong battle array may not be as exquisite as the six-flower array, but it is suitable for cavalry and infantry, but it does not mean that it is invincible.
Zhuge Liang is a formation, after listening to Zhang Fei's narration, you can roughly guess that this formation is probably a simplified formation created on the basis of gossip, of course, simple does not mean useless, after all, the more complex the formation training and cooperation, the more difficult it is to cooperate, and once there is a mistake or omission somewhere, it is likely to cause the formation to fail to operate, but this kind of formation after continuous simplification is not difficult, the warrior is easy to learn, and the power that can be exerted by multiple trainings is stronger than those fine formations.
Zhang Fei knew that Zhuge Liang was more powerful in this regard, so he went to ask Zhuge Liang for advice, and Zhuge Liang also gave him a reply, in fact, Zhang Fei's reaction that day was also good, using a spear to resist the opponent's killing array, but the individual combat power of the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong was too strong, and the sword of chopping horses was enough for Feng Li, and the spear and gun of ordinary soldiers were made of wood, and they could be easily cut off.
Even if Zhuge Liang can come up with a cracked formation in such a short period of time, it is difficult to practice it well, but gossip, for Zhuge Liang, it has been thoroughly studied, it is not difficult to break it, between life and death, as long as you find the right one, you can solve it easily, but the disgusting place of simplifying the formation is here, after eliminating a lot of essence for the sake of conciseness, although the power is weak, but the same shortcomings are also weak.
Judging from Zhang Fei's description, even if Zhang Fei can find the two doors of life and death, for this simplified formation, at most it is only to separate the opponent, after all, although the formation is simple, it is a large formation with a small formation, and a small formation with a smaller formation, even if the large formation is broken, the small formation can still operate freely, not every small soldier understands this, don't look at Zhang Fei's recklessness, but he is from an authentic wealthy family, and he has that foundation, and ordinary soldiers do not have it.
The suspicious Zhuge Liang taught Zhang Fei another method, the shield array, no matter how he changed, the shield was surrounded, and then the weapon was stabbed inside, simple and rude but effective, of course, the premise is that there are enough troops.
However, since Guanzhong pursued the policy of elite soldiers, there are no several times the number of troops, and they really dare not fight with the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong.
However, when Zhang Fei rushed to Deyang with his troops, Pang Tong hung out the war-free card, strictly guarded against it, and did not engage Zhang Fei at all, making Zhang Fei feel as uncomfortable as if he had punched hard and hit the cotton, and the whole person's spirit was not good.
"Shi Yuan, even if the elite is not out, our army's strength is still above Zhang Fei, why not eat this force before its main force arrives? As long as General Zhang engages the enemy head-on with the generals of Shuzhong, I will lead the elite men to attack from the flank, and I will definitely be able to break Zhang Fei. Wei Yan watched Zhang Fei scolding there from the city tower, and greeted Pang Tong and Wei Yanzu over and over again with foul language, and Wei Yan said with a somewhat ugly face.
"Calm down, calm down!" Pang Tong soothed: "The more anxious he is, the more we can't be anxious, don't you smell a drum, then decline, three and exhaustion, although you don't have to wait three times for so long, but also consume his vigor first, General Zhang Ren, I will let you order the elite of the 10,000 infantry army, repair it well, and go out of the city tomorrow to engage in battle, and let me see what kind of combat power the Jingzhou army trained by Kong Ming has?" ”
"Whoa!" When Zhang Ren heard this, he gave his hand to lead the way.
"It's just that looking at this thing is so arrogant, it's infuriating!" Wei Yan glared at Zhang Fei, who was scolding under the city, and said unhappily, this thing is afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past, and he is scolding there from three hundred steps, but his voice is extremely loud, and he can hear it clearly from such a distance, which makes Wei Yan extremely annoyed in his heart, but he is helpless, three hundred steps away, even if a crossbow can shoot through, it is useless for a character like Zhang Fei, not to mention that in addition to the Zhangba snake spear, this cargo also carries a shield.
"Hey~" Pang Tong smiled when he heard this, this can be regarded as a range advantage, if you want to scold people, Pang Tong has never lost anyone, even if Lu Bu's father and daughter were at the beginning, it was the father and daughter who forcibly interrupted themselves with huge profits, otherwise, Pang Tong had the confidence to vomit blood without swearing words, although Zhang Fei scolded rudely, but there were only a few words back and forth, the key is that people's voices can be heard, but even if Pang Tong tears off his voice, the voice is estimated to be unbearable, so he can only be poisoned by Zhang Fei's noise here.
"Let him scold, when he gets tired of scolding, he will naturally stop." Pang Tong pursed his lips and walked straight down the royal city, if you want to talk about endurance, Pang Tong didn't have it originally, but since Jingzhou was taken away by Lu Lingqi, the kind of days when there is no way to redress grievances and have nowhere to talk about reason have passed for two years, and there is no way to bear it, the endurance exercised in that environment, the little bit of gas that Zhang Fei is sending now, is just pediatric.
"Shiyuan, when did you become so open-minded?" Wei Yan looked at Pang Tong with an indifferent face in puzzlement, and said with sincere admiration.
"You won't understand." Glancing at Wei Yan with pity, Pang Tong sighed, did not explain, shook his head and left, leaving Wei Yan at a loss, well, why did he start discriminating against people again?
Turned his head to glance at Zhang Ren, but saw Zhang Ren turn his head to look at Zhang Fei's military formation, thinking about how to break the enemy tomorrow.
Shook his head helplessly, turned his head to arrange his elite preparations, although Zhang Ren will deal with Zhang Fei head-on tomorrow, but the elite of Guanzhong he brought will not be idle, and he will attack from the flanks to avoid the opponent's rattan shield.
Early the next morning, Zhang Fei came to scold again with his men and horses, but before he could speak, he saw the gate of Deyang County open, and Zhang Ren rushed out of the city with his men and horses and lined up outside the city gate.
"Huh?" Seeing this, Zhang Fei saw that the banner of the person who came turned out to be his own family, not Wei Yan, and then looked at the other party's soldiers and horses, although the number of soldiers and horses was much more than Wei Yan's elite soldiers in Guanzhong, but only looking at the spirit, compared with Wei Yan's elite, this army was completely a group of rabble.
"Who's that?" Zhang Fei turned his head to look at a Shu general who had surrendered and asked.
"General Hui, this person is the former general of Shuzhong, General Zhang Ren, who is as famous as General Yan." When the Shu general heard this, he hurriedly replied.
"Zhang Ren? I've heard of him, but I don't know how martial arts are. Zhang Fei nodded, he had naturally heard of the generals who were on a par with Yan Yan, but he measured an opponent's ability, in addition to leading troops, the more important thing was to see how the opponent's own martial arts were.
"Skilled in guns and horses, martial arts are not under General Yan Yan." General Shu replied.
In fact, the two used to work together for Liu Zhang, but they were of different generations, Zhang Ren naturally never fought with Yan Yan, but none of the generals in Shu were their opponents, so they often tied the two, as for who was higher and who was lower, no one knew, so he could only use this ambiguous answer to be perfunctory.
"Then it's going to see how he's done." Zhang Fei glanced at the opponent's military formation, urged the war horse under his crotch, and the black cone trotted in front of the two armies. ”
"The two armies are fighting, fighting in the military formation, you and I are the commanders of the three armies, how can we emulate the brave warrior?" Zhang Ren doesn't have Wei Yan's armor to protect himself, his martial arts are not bad, but he is a line worse than Wei Yan.
"Haha, you claim to be a famous general in Shuzhong, it turns out that the so-called famous general in Shu is just a gutless bandit." Zhang Fei couldn't help sneering when he saw that Zhang Ren refused to fight.
"It turns out that Liu Xuande's famous generals are all such brave and ruthless people, so I can rest assured!" Zhang Ren was not annoyed, but replied lukewarmly.
"How daring, see how I break your military formation!" Zhang Fei snorted coldly with a dark face, and raised the eight snake spears in his hand, and the soldiers in the rear began to move slowly with Zhang Fei's movements.
It seems to return to the most primitive stage of the battle, after entering the firing range, the archers on both sides began to release arrows to the opponent's camp, the cold arrow clusters swept through the void, fell overwhelmingly, and were blocked by the vine shield, someone fell to the ground with an arrow, screaming and rolling, but the surrounding soldiers walked over indifferently, without the slightest mercy, and saw the arrow array formed by the elite crossbow in the pass, this pure bow and arrow at this time, it seems that people are a little unmotivated.
"Platoon gun! Stab! As the two armies began to make contact, the shouting and killing gradually became intense, and a spear stabbed out fiercely, but it was blocked by the opponent's rattan shield, but the whistling arrow cluster lost the protection of the rattan shield, and the battle line gradually lengthened with the contact between the two sides, and the two soldiers and horses began to enter the melee.
Zhang Fei is like a sharp blade, with his own guards constantly tearing a gap in the opponent's military formation, Zhang Ren is in command, constantly commanding the soldiers to quickly make up for Zhang Fei's tearing hole, shouting and killing accompanied by the splash of blood, as time goes by, more and more intense, Zhang Fei several conflicts, relying on bravery, come and go freely in the enemy formation, although Zhang Ren's Shu army is not as elite as Wei Yan's soldiers and horses, but this army he has commanded for a long time, mobilized like an arm command, although the momentum is suppressed by Zhang Fei, but it is extremely tenacious, Zhang Fei tried to break through the encirclement several times to capture the flag, but failed, but almost let himself be encircled, and then he didn't dare to rush into battle again.
Just when the battle between the two sides was raging, the gate of Deyang County was opened again, and Wei Yan led the audience to fight obliquely. (To be continued.) )
