Chapter 244: If you want to slip away, there is no way
Yuan Yao was already annoyed and angry, he couldn't swallow this breath, and shouted angrily: "Even if the thief has a divine arrow army, this prince doesn't believe that he can stop my thousands of troops and horses, and orders the whole army, press me up, and crush Hua Rong's dog thief." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Yang Hong's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the enemy's back to the Huai River is different from the ordinary military formation, even if our army is all dispatched, I am afraid."
"Shut up"
Yuan Yao snorted and interrupted Yang Hong's persuasion, "If that thief is allowed to easily cross the Huai River and return to the capital, where is the face of this prince, you don't need to say more, press my whole army." ”
Yuan Yao was carried away by anger, and even more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, he didn't listen to persuasion at all, and Yang Hong was reprimanded, and he was helpless.
Tom tom
In the Huainan army, the drums shook the sky again.
In the earth-shattering sound of killing, nearly 30,000 Huainan infantry troops were all dispatched, and the black pressure was pressed from three directions, towards the 800 Divine Arrow Battalion.
Yuan Yao's momentum returned to arrogance, and he snorted coldly: "Zhang Yuan, you little thief, even if you have a sharpshooter army, this prince doesn't believe it, you can resist the crushing of my 30,000 army with 800 crossbowmen." ”
North Shore.
The officers and men of the three armies stationed on the shore all witnessed the power of the Divine Arrow Battalion, and they all thundered with joy.
But then, they saw tens of thousands of enemy troops, rushing towards the 800 lone army like a tide, and all the soldiers saw this picture, their faces changed, and they sweated for their comrades on the other side.
"Lord, all the enemy troops have been dispatched, and we don't have time to cross the river to support, I'm afraid that Li Dumb will be kicked in the ass, and he won't be able to stop it." Li Dingguo, who was excited and happy just now, became nervous now.
Zhang Yuan smiled and said nothing.
Gao Gong poured a sip of wine into his mouth, the wine gourd pointed to the opposite side, and said with a smile: "Fan Dayu, you can see clearly, Li Shenjiao is protected by the Huai River behind him, and the Huainan Army is not a fish, how can you kick his ass." ”
Li Dingguo's thick head was stunned, turned his head, opened his eyes wide and looked at the Divine Arrow Camp opposite, touched the back of his head, turned his eyes a few times, and suddenly his face burst out with surprise.
He finally saw the subtlety of Hua Rong's shield array.
An ordinary backwater battle, even if it is a backwater battle of the last general, will drive the army out of the shore for dozens or even hundreds of paces, and form a formation far away from the river.
This formation is no different from an ordinary infantry formation, if the opponent has cavalry, or if there are many soldiers and horses, you can surround and copy from the flanks and rear.
Zhang Yuan's secret Huarong's array, but it was not far away from the river, but with the Huai River water barrier, the moon at both ends, forming an arc-shaped semicircular array.
The rear of the semicircular array is Huaishui, forming a natural retreat, which makes it impossible for the Huainan army to copy the flank.
The side direction of the semicircle, which is different from the phalanx, must turn around when encountering an enemy attack and temporarily change the formation to deal with it.
Because ordinary soldiers and horses mainly rely on spear and knife soldiers to block enemy horses, and Hua Rong blocks enemy horses, but they all rely on crossbowmen with a super high hit rate, so there is no need to turn the direction at all, and they can directly use crossbowmen to release arrows in all directions in the formation.
Zhang Yuan was familiar with history and knew that there was a method of warfare in history, which was most suitable for forming a formation with a small number of troops, luring a strong enemy to attack, and taking the opportunity to inflict heavy casualties on the enemy.
Previously, Gao Gong offered him a plan to let Hua Rong's Divine Arrow Battalion attract Yuan Jun's attention, and Zhang Yuan had a wit, so he thought of the Divine Arrow Battalion, combined with the tactics of the Moon Array.
Now, as it turns out, he made the right decision.
Li Dingguo, who was shocked, looked at Zhang Yuan for a while, and then looked at the Divine Arrow Camp in front of him, and admired Zhang Yuan to the heart.
The earth-shattering drums sounded again, and the 800 lonely troops on the opposite bank were proud of the enemy tide 20 times.
Hua Rong stood proudly in the formation, and the enemy in front of him pounced closely, only to shout: "Release the arrow"
Boom boom
The sound of strings shook the sky, and sharp arrows like raindrops rose out of the air, like a huge net, overwhelmingly towards the rushing enemy, and pressed wildly.
Puff puff
A series of muffled sounds overshadowed the surging water of the Huai River, and the rain of arrows plucked down a large area of the enemy, splashing blood and howling miserably.
Three hundred enemy soldiers fell in a pool of blood on the spot.
The men and horses of the front team fell to the ground, which not only shocked the morale of the soldiers behind, but also slowed down their pace, and the speed of the enemy's charge immediately slowed down.
The endless rain of arrows relentlessly bombarded the crowded enemy army, shooting the 30,000-strong Huainan army into a river of blood and a mountain of corpses.
Yuan Yao made a fatal mistake, he didn't think he would go head-to-head with Zhang Jun, so the army was not equipped with a large number of shields, resulting in his soldiers having almost no means of defense, and could only rely on their flesh and blood to press forward, and one by one they became Zhang Jun's live targets.
"How can this be, just 800 shooters, just block the attack of my army of more than 10,000 people, how is this possible" Yuan Yao, who was in command of the Chinese army, his whole face was already distorted.
Yuan Yao racked his brains and couldn't figure out why his 20,000 infantry army, plus 3,000 iron cavalry, couldn't break through the infantry formation of 800 people.
If you can't break through, it's just that you have suffered heavy casualties.
There are only 800 people on the other side, even if they are all marksmen, they are not so strong.
Humiliated, frightened, and dazed with all kinds of emotional torture, Yuan Yao was about to go crazy.
Seeing that the plan was broken and his army was unfavorable, Yuan Yao, who was angry and ashamed, refused to order the withdrawal of his troops.
He still had hope that his army would be able to break through the enemy and save face for him.
He no longer had a chance.
Zhang Yuan on the north bank estimated that the time had come, and immediately ordered nearly 10,000 soldiers of the infantry army deployed on the north bank to cross the river in a big way.
Amid the earth-shattering drums of war, hundreds of bamboo rafts carrying Zhang's soldiers rushed into the Huai River and rushed towards the beachhead on the south bank.
Rafts rushed onto the river beach one after another, and thousands of Zhang troops joined the ranks of Hua Rongjun and began to counterattack the chaotic enemy army.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, now is not the time to be rash, retreat quickly, it will not be good if you don't retreat." Yang Hong shouted excitedly.
Yuan Yao's remaining hope was finally shattered, and he finally realized that if he continued to die, it would not be as simple as defeat, once he was fully attacked by Zhang Jun, his 20,000-strong army would be in danger of being annihilated.
"Give the order to go down, retreat, order the whole army to retreat." Yuan Yao shouted hoarsely.
Bell, bell, bell
In the Huainan army, the golden sound finally sounded, and the Huainan soldiers, who were shot to the point of heavy casualties and could not raise their heads, hurriedly hugged their heads and retreated.
On the north shore, every move of the enemy army could not escape Zhang Yuan's eyes.
"High drunkard, as you expected, Yuan Yao's miscellaneous pieces can't support it, and he is about to retreat in an all-round way." Zhang Yuan sneered, his eyes glancing at Gao Gong. (To be continued.) )
