Chapter 387: Divine Arrow Meets the Enemy
"General Yan, Zhang Yuanqin is leading a large army to come, are we temporarily withdrawing from the siege of Baima, retreating to the ferry to line up, and waiting for the reinforcements from the lord to arrive. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" General Jiang Qi reminded.
According to common sense, Yan Liang lost the support of Yuan Shao's main force on the north bank, and in the face of Zhang Yuan's superior forces that were suddenly killed, he should have temporarily retreated.
Yan Liang didn't.
In his eagle eyes, there was a trace of excitement, and he asked: "In the Zhang thief army, there can be cavalry,"
Yan Liang's vanguard army has 5,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry, and he is not afraid of Zhang Yuan's more infantry, but he is a little afraid of Zhang Yuan's 5,000 cavalry.
"General, the scouts did not find cavalry in the enemy army, and the enemies killed were all infantry."
Without cavalry, that's easy.
Yan Liang's face turned hideous again, he laughed fiercely, and raised his spear, "Jiang Qi, you lead five thousand infantry to continue to surround Baima, and this general will lead the cavalry to defeat the Zhang thief, and add another great achievement." ”
Yan Liang is not only a famous general in Hebei, but also the first cavalry general in Hebei, among the five thousand iron cavalry under his command, there are nearly more than 1,000 horsemen.
He learned that Zhang Yuan did not bring cavalry, this was to rely on 5,000 iron cavalry to destroy Zhang Yuan's more than 20,000 infantry troops in one fell swoop.
Five thousand iron cavalry soldiers, their blood was boiling, and they were full of meritorious service, and they killed Yan Liang all the way to the southwest.
In less than half a time, Zhang Jun in front came into view, and the two armies met seven miles south of White Horse City.
Li Yun was heavy, and the heavens and the earth were full of rolling murderous aura.
Under the huge "Zhang" word battle flag, Zhang Yuan immediately slashed his sword, standing proudly like an iron tower.
Nearly 20,000 soldiers of the infantry army stood solemnly, and the 1,000 elite soldiers at the forefront were strange soldiers led by Ji Chang.
Zhang Yuan's strategy was to feint to attack Yanjin and lure Yuan Shao's main force in Liyang to the west, so that Yan Liang's department in Baima lost its backing.
Then, Zhang Yuan rushed to the white horse with a light army, starry night, and came to break Yan Liang's vanguard army.
His goal has been achieved, and Yan Liang's iron cavalry soldiers are really fierce.
And the strange soldiers led by Ji Chang are all good archers, different from Hua Rong's Divine Arrow Battalion, this army is equipped with the latest type of heavy crossbow made by Mo Zhai.
Zhang Yuan named this heavy crossbow regiment the "Broken Army" battalion.
At this moment, a thousand crossbowmen of the broken army, who first put the big shield of half a person, were all laid on the ground in front of them, and the heavy crossbows were all hidden behind them, almost the same as ordinary foot soldiers.
"Husband, the enemy army is all iron cavalry, and the art of war is only combined with the formation of big shield hands and spear and knife men, and it seems that it is a bit against the art of war to put the crossbowmen at the front." The Lian Rouge beside him frowned and said.
The corners of Zhang Yuan's mouth raised a mysterious sneer, "Don't worry, this broken military camp is for the husband to let Ji Chang train secretly a long time ago, just for today's use, today, is the time for them to show their might." ”
Seeing that her husband was so confident, although there were still doubts between her eyebrows, she didn't say much, only clenched the big knife and stood tightly beside Zhang Yuan.
A few hundred paces away, Yuan's army had stopped advancing
Yan Liang pulled his horse and crossed his sword, standing in the iron cavalry of the Yuan army like a killing god, and glanced at the Zhang army's lineup from a distance, and his hideous face unconsciously sneered with disdain.
"Zhang Yuan, a traitor, really didn't bring cavalry, do you think that in the face of my Hebei Iron Cavalry, just with a large number of soldiers, you can stop it, joke."
After the disdainful taunt, the war knife in Yan Liang's hand slowly raised and slashed towards Zhang Jun, "Hebei's iron cavalry warriors, follow the general to kill the enemy, destroy Zhang Thief, raise the prestige of my Hebei warriors, and make immortal achievements for the Lord, kill me,"
Woo woo ~ ~
The horn of slaughter sounded, and in the Yuan army's array, five thousand iron horsemen shouted in unison, making the heavens and the earth change color.
Yan Liang pinched the horse's belly, like black lightning, and killed first.
The five thousand iron horsemen behind him, like a torrent bursting the embankment, surged out without a trace of hesitation.
Five thousand iron horsemen, running to form a conical impact formation, a huge military formation, stepping on the broken hooves of horses, surging towards Zhang's army.
Da-da-da-da.
The rumbling sound of iron hooves, like the drums of tens of thousands of wars, was beating at the same time.
The dust raised by the horses' hooves filled the air in an instant, and the momentum of the cavalry shook as if the whole earth was about to be torn apart.
Among the 5,000 iron cavalry, there are 1,000 heavily armored iron cavalry, charging at the forefront, almost like an indestructible blade, and like an invulnerable copper wall.
The momentum of the enemy cavalry was so great that more than 20,000 soldiers and soldiers of Zhang, who had been through a hundred battles, also changed their expressions, and their palms were already sweating.
Without the cover of cavalry, pure infantry seems to be inherently fearful in the face of enemy cavalry onslaught, even for the battle-hardened elite.
In the mind of Rouge, unconsciously emerged, the scene when his father Liu Bao led the Hun iron cavalry and destroyed the withering and decaying.
As a horseman, she knew the power of this kind of heavy riding and light riding when it combined to attack, and she could not be afraid in her heart, and she could even hear the sound of her own heartbeat.
She glanced back at her husband, the face that she once hated the most, but now she loves the most, has always been as quiet as water, without a trace of waves.
It's as if everything is under his control.
Zhang Yuan took a breath lightly, and his eyes fell on Ji Chang's body in front of the formation.
"Ji Chang, this battle is up to you, let the Hebei cavalry be terrified of your broken military camp from now on."
The cold light in Ji Chang's eyes was as sharp as his arrows, and his eyes were staring at the enemy cavalry that was pressing Li on the opposite side.
In front of the formation, standing on his left and right was the thousand-broken military camp he had carefully built.
Although he is good at bowing, he is also good at crossbows, and he is proficient in training crossbowmen, and this thousand-heavy crossbowman was secretly formed by him for half a year under the instruction of Zhang Yuan.
Today, it's finally time to come in handy.
Back then, Yuan Shao used the first crossbowman to break Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteousness, and Zhang Yuan will use the crossbow to deal with Yuan Shao's Youhe Iron Cavalry today.
Ji Chang's heart was full of blood, and he had been longing for this battle for a long time, and he wanted to use a great victory. to prove that he is not only a marksman who can use a bow, but also a general who can train elite soldiers.
In his thoughts, the earthquake under his feet trembled more violently, and the enemy cavalry had rushed to more than 400 paces away.
Ji Chang's eyes froze, he raised the star bow in his hand, and shouted: "Break the army, crossbowmen, assemble in formation." ”
A thousand crossbowmen of the Broken Army received the order, and hurriedly raised the large shield placed on the ground, and an iron wall was formed in an instant, blocking the front of the main formation.
In the formation of the broken army, the front row is a wooden shield with many people, and in the back row, the eight-stone crossbow, the six-stone crossbow, the five-stone crossbow and the four-stone crossbow are arranged one by one.
The arrows were wound, and the arrows flowing in the cold light, like the fangs of death, stared at the surging enemy horsemen.
A few seconds later, the 1,000-heavy armored iron cavalry in the front row of Yuan's army had galloped to 300 paces away, stirring the dust and fog of the heavens and the earth, as if the end of the world was about to come.
