Chapter 488: Zhao Yun's Tactics

When Zhao Yun and Gongsun Zan led the army to the Wuhuan camp, it was actually still the middle of the night. However, in order not to alarm the scouts sent by the Wuhuan camp, they stopped to rest more than ten miles away from the Wuhuan camp, and waited until dawn to lead the army to attack.

At that time, Gongsun Zhan saw that his army had arrived more than ten miles away from the Wuhuan camp, and the Wuhuan people had not yet discovered their own army. His opinion was to attack the Wuhuan camp again, just like Zhao Yun and Tai Shici did last time.

But Zhao Yun thought about it and didn't agree.

The reason why they disagreed was because their scout spies had already found out that the Wuhuan camp had been attacked by the New Han Army, and their vigilance had been greatly improved. The cordon of the Wuhuan camp has been released ten miles away from their camp. There are quite a lot of open and dark whistles.

Even if the scout spies of the New Han Army can quietly destroy the light and dark whistles of some Wuhuan people, no one is 100% sure that they can lead the New Han Army to sneak into the Wuhuan camp without being noticed by the Wuhuan people. Zhao Yun estimated that at most, he would sneak close to about five miles away from the Wuhuan camp, and he would definitely let the Wuhuan people notice.

And once the Wuhuan people are aware that the distance is too far, even if the Wuhuan people don't have time to set up a formation, they will have time to deal with it. At that time, it will become a forced camp of the New Han Army.

For the camp, Zhao Yun was confident that he could once again rush into the Wuhuan camp, but because the Wuhuan people had the experience of the last time, they faced more obstacles and threats to the Xinhan army that rushed into their camp than the last time. In the end, even if you can penetrate the Wuhuan camp and kill it. I'm afraid there will be too many casualties. Zhao Yun didn't want to let his New Han Army lose tens of thousands of men and horses.

Therefore, he did not agree with Gongsun Zhan's opinion. The decision is still to attack and leave. And let Gongsun Chan lead the army around to the north of the Wuhuan camp. Wait until after dawn, and then rush to kill the Wuhuan people in the north of the Wuhuan camp.

In this way, after a small break in the middle of the night, as soon as the morning dawned, Zhao Yun immediately led the army to attack the Wuhuan cavalry assembled outside the Wuhuan camp.

The cavalry of the 100,000 New Han Army instantly formed a rolling snow wave, as if it was going forward to kill the Wuhuan cavalry.

The sound of hooves and the shouts of the soldiers of the New Han Army shook the snow from some nearby trees.

Not to be outdone, the Wuhuan cavalry army. They also rushed up against the New Han Army.

However, because the Wuhuan army has not yet formed a formation, even if their military horses are several times more than the military horses of the New Han Army cavalry, in terms of momentum, they are inferior to the New Han Army. This can be seen from the impact formation of the two sides.

The charge of the 100,000 cavalry of the New Han Army was a wave. And the charge of the Wuhuan cavalry is like a sudden flow of water.

Although the two armies were separated by several miles, they were under the charge of both sides. This distance seems to be shortened in an instant.

On the vast snowfield, thousands of horses galloped. A moment of effort, the whole snowfield. It was as if they were suddenly covered in snow and dust. The officers and men at the front of the two armies were better, and they could clearly see the enemy in front of them. But the soldiers who charged behind were not very comfortable. The snow and dust stirred up by the hooves of the war horses is no less than the dust raised when galloping through the yellow sand. In addition, now the north wind is blowing wildly, blowing the snow and dust that is raised, and the overwhelming dance is so overwhelming that the cavalry soldiers can't open their eyes.

However, the cavalry soldiers behind didn't care so much at this time, just raised their weapons and rushed forward.

One mile, four hundred steps, three hundred steps......

The Wuhuan cavalry, they shouted wildly, everyone mustered up their strength, rushed up in one fell swoop, and destroyed the cavalry of the new Han army that would commit the crime. Earlier, the battalion was attacked by the cavalry of the New Han Army, although these Wuhuan cavalry soldiers realized the sharpness of the New Han Army. However, after causing so many deaths to their clansmen, these Wuhuan cavalry had a kind of excitement in their hearts to turn grief and anger into strength. Once again, facing the cavalry of the New Han Army, he knew that their forces were under an absolute superiority. They are certainly able to rise up in the hope of avenging the death of their families after the attack before the snow.

The Wuhuan people, who have tasted the pain of their relatives being killed, no longer just regard the Han people as slaves of dogs, and do not just provide them with objects of plunder. It is also an enemy that they hate and cannot destroy.

These barbarians, they never seem to reflect on how much Han blood they have stained on the hands of their ancestors for thousands of years? How many Han lives do they have in their own hands? Now, the New Han Army just let them taste the taste of being slaughtered, and they can't stand it, so they hate the Han people to the core, and they can't wipe out the Han people.

These aliens, their aggression against the Han has become a habit, and they already feel that killing the Han people is a matter of course. The abduction of the Han people as slaves is also a natural thing for them to catch and hunt those wild beasts, and they never consider what they have done to the Han people, and how many Han people hate and hate them, and they will not consider what they have done to the Han people, which is a matter of human resentment.

It is precisely in the hearts of these Wuhuan cavalrymen that more or less carry a negative feeling, so it seems that they are indomitable and vow to compete with the New Han army.

However, how could the New Han Army really be so brainless? At a glance, you can see hundreds of thousands of Wuhuan cavalry troops, but your own army is only these 100,000 horses, will you really crash into the formation of the Wuhuan cavalry?

Just when the two armies were charging, and there were still two or three hundred paces away, a rain of arrows suddenly flew out of the Xinhan army, and then the charge changed to a diagonal horizontal movement from the side.

Rushed diagonally out in the direction of the northern corner of the Wuhuan army.

Well, Zhao Yun lined up the 100,000 New Han Army early on, the first row, and divided it into several rows of men and horses. A row of soldiers is only about 10,000 horses.

10,000 horses, lined up, their formation has to be lined up for miles. The formation was set up to charge, and the war horses raised snow and dust, so that the Wuhuan people who were also in the direction of the Wuhuan camp on the same horizontal plane could hardly see how many military horses there were in this New Han army. At least at the first time, let the Wuhuan people have a visual illusion. So that they can't make a decision that is more beneficial to them in the first place.

In fact, if the Wuhuan people knew from the beginning how many horses there were in Zhao Yun's cavalry army. Then, they can adopt a strategy that is more beneficial to them. There is no need to panic at all, there is no need to charge the cavalry of the New Han Army-for-tat.

They only need to set up a good position, hold down the position, wait for the New Han army to rush up, and then surround the New Han army at once, and when the time comes, they can completely solve the problem with bows and arrows.

Under the condition of preparation, 100,000 horses attacked the cavalry formation of 600,000 or 700,000 horses. This is undoubtedly hitting a stone with an egg. No matter how strong the New Han army is, it is impossible to defeat the 600,000 or 700,000 horses of the Wuhuan people head-on with 100,000 men and horses, right? In fact, let alone defeated, when the time comes, with Zhao Yunzhi's strength, it will not be too easy to lead his 100,000 cavalry to penetrate his cavalry array.

Before, Zhao Yun and Tai Shici led the army to attack the Wuhuan camp, and they were able to quickly penetrate the 500,000 Wuhuan cavalry in front of the Wuhuan camp. This is mainly because it is not bright. In the case of a surprise attack, the enemy forces did not react. In this way, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and other generals can lead the army to break through the Wuhuan cavalry formation and enter the Wuhuan camp.

However, it is useless to say this now. Now, the Wuhuan army has rushed towards the Xinhan army.

And at this time. The forward rush of the New Han army turned into a lateral movement, at the same time. Cavalry soldiers, each armed with a strong bow. While moving sideways, he turned sideways and fired arrows at the Wuhuan cavalry who rushed up.

In an instant, the Wuhuan cavalry who charged up were hit by arrows one after another, and they were loaded into the snow with a bang one by one.

At this time, the Wuhuan cavalry suddenly saw that the cavalry of the New Han Army did not hold weapons at all, and almost all of them were armed with bows and arrows.

This change may be difficult to say precisely, but it is quite subtle.

Well, the two armies charged each other, and that formation was indeed very large, and the charging positions of the two sides were several miles wide.

Especially the Wuhuan cavalry, they finally aroused their fighting spirit, and everyone rushed forward desperately, ready to fight with the cavalry of the New Han Army.

At this time, many of the Wuhuan cavalry, they even forgot their way of fighting, forgetting that when they usually attacked the Han Chinese, they usually used their bows and arrows to shoot the Han people who had the will to resist them and might be dangerous to them. Therefore, now, they are basically drawing knives, ready to rush forward, and the cavalry of the New Han Army will have a white knife into a red knife.

But at this moment, they couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, because the momentum of the New Han Army was actually stunned, and at the same time, hundreds of thousands of bows and arrows were shot at them almost at the same time.

The momentum formed by 100,000 bows and arrows really made the charging Wuhuan cavalry feel suffocated.

Although the north wind is still blowing, and many of the bows and arrows of the New Han Army have fallen into the void due to the influence of the north wind, there are still a large number of bows and arrows that have fallen into the Wuhuan cavalry that rushed over.

And the cavalry formation of the New Han Army, after they released a meal and an arrow, the entire military formation lined up directly turned the horse's head in unison and moved to the north. And when moving northward, the soldiers of the New Han Army can shoot their horses while constantly firing arrows sideways to shoot those Wuhuan cavalry who rushed over.

If the cavalry of the New Han Army can't ride and shoot, they can't keep firing arrows to attack the Wuhuan cavalry. Then, according to the current situation, it is definitely impossible for the cavalry of the New Han Army to suddenly change from rushing forward to moving horizontally. Because, the moving military formation, not long away, will be pounced by the formation of the Wuhuan army, and will immediately intercept and kill the cavalry of the New Han Army.

However, because of the convenience of horses, the New Han Army could free its hands, just like the horseback people in the grassland, and they could also release arrows between the galloping horses. It's a completely different story.

Cavalry cavalry archery may not be able to do the same uniform volley of arrows as the infantry archers. However, because of the problem that the bows and arrows of the New Han Army were more sophisticated. These cavalrymen have also been trained in cavalry archery for several years, and the archery accuracy is also quite good. Therefore, under the continuous use of arrows, those Wuhuan cavalry who charged over were carried to the ground one after another, which directly affected the charging formation behind them, causing people to roll over on their backs and scream again and again in the formation of the Wuhuan cavalry.

Originally, the Wuhuan cavalry was quite chaotic in the charging formation, and after being hit by bows and arrows, their large array became even more chaotic.

Of course, among the Wuhuan cavalry, there were also many Wuhuan cavalry who fired arrows at the moving horses of the New Han Army.

It may be that the north wind is favorable, and the bows and arrows shot by the Wuhuan cavalry can actually shoot in the new Han army. Taking advantage of the north wind, the gap in the range of their bows and arrows was shortened a lot. However, the Wuhuan bow and arrow did little damage to the cavalry of the New Han Army.

Because, even if their bows and arrows fell on the cavalry formation of the New Han Army and hit the soldiers of the New Han Army in the military formation, they were already residual and their power was insufficient, and they were blocked by the armor of the soldiers of the New Han Army, and they could not hurt the body. Also, the officers and soldiers of the New Han Army are no longer just clothes, they are also wearing thick cotton clothes. This, the thick cotton coat, can not only protect the soldiers of the New Han Army, but also serve as a kind of protection, as if wearing a bulletproof vest inside.

Of course, this is not the most important, the most important thing is that the new Han army army formation, which is lined up in a row, has now become a long snake formation moving sideways, and it is not actually as imagined by the Wuhuan cavalry. This thin row of charging formations made more of the bows and arrows of the Wuhuan cavalry shoot into the empty space behind the billowing snow and dust.

Of course, the new Han army's combat method is still dangerous, once it can't move sideways from the big array of the Wuhuan cavalry, especially the big array when charging, it is very likely to be pounced on by the Wuhuan army, and the cavalry of the new Han army who have no time to open the distance will be intercepted and killed.

However, this attack on the Wuhuan cavalry was carefully considered by Zhao Yun. Considering that in a hurry, the Wuhuan cavalry army will definitely not be able to make an effective charge in time, and will only rush over in a swarm. In this way, just their own cavalry soldiers can shoot a group of Wuhuan cavalry charging in front with bows and arrows, which can effectively disrupt the enemy's charging formation and weaken their momentum. In this way, your own army can calmly rush by. In addition, when rushing through like this, his own cavalry can also keep firing arrows, and keep shooting and killing the Wuhuan cavalry who can still rush up. In fact, if your cavalry does not move all of them in time to kill from the north of the enemy's large array. When the time comes, they can also immediately turn the horse's head and retreat.

This is also the benefit of Zhao Yun lining up his cavalry. Because, behind the military formation, there is no longer their own military horses, and their own cavalry can turn around and flee for their lives at any time. However, in the process of escaping, because the distance with the pursuing enemy cavalry is too close, it is possible to be attacked by their bows and arrows. At this time, it depends on their own skills.

The bows and arrows of the Wuhuan cavalry are not terrible, as long as they are not shot by them, the armor and thick cotton clothes on their bodies can save their lives. In addition, they have to protect their war horses, and don't be shot and injured by them, so that with their hardy and hard-working war horses, they will definitely be able to distance themselves from the Wuhuan cavalry soon.

Zhao Yun took into account many details, and instructed the generals below to let every cavalry understand how they should deal with the situation when they were in battle.

But it is clear that Zhao Yun's plan works.

The chaotic charge of the Wuhuan cavalry, once a certain cavalry was shot by the cavalry of the New Han Army and fell to the ground, it would directly cause a series of chain reactions. It will directly cause a large area of Wuhuan cavalry to collide together.

Sometimes, that's it, seeing that the enemy is not far away, but on the contrary, they can only watch and rush in a hurry.

The snow in the snow is not too deep, but it affects the speed of the war horse a little, especially the jump of the war horse. If someone falls in front, the cavalry behind them often find it difficult to reach their intentions when they want to make the war horse jump and jump over, and the war horse will subconsciously dare not jump, so when it stops, the cavalry behind will not have time to avoid it, so that the Wuhuan cavalry will collide together and become a mess.
