Yang Feng happily agreed to Zhang Liao's first proposal, but he was still worried. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info He said to Zhang Liao with a little weakness: "There are thousands of Hun cavalry under Guo Da's command, and they are very powerful, and the soldiers under my command will run away when they see the Hun cavalry rushing over, but I am afraid that they will not be able to beat it!" ”

Zhang Liao did not taunt Yang Feng, but said very seriously: "The soldiers under your command do not even have complete armor and weapons, and there are few regular soldiers who have been tempered on the battlefield, and it is normal to run away in panic when they see a large-scale cavalry charge." If you want to change this, you have to do special training. Since I promised to help you, leave the two matters of disarmament and military training to me! ”

When Yang Feng heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and treated Zhang Liao as a guest, and asked the leaders under his command to resolutely implement Zhang Liao's orders.

Wei Qi heard that Zhang Liao not only wanted to help Yang Feng streamline his troops, but also help Yang Feng train his troops, so he hurriedly found a reason and sent someone to invite Zhang Liao to Wei's house to stop this matter.

Wei Qi said: "Yang Feng is a person who is accustomed to speculation, and may not be of the same mind as the Tiance Army, if Wen Yuan teaches Yang Feng's soldiers how to fight against the cavalry, Yang Feng will fight back in the future, wouldn't he be cocooned and self-bound?" ”

Zhang Liao was very happy about Wei Qi's worries, at least proving Wei Qi's position. Zhang Liao explained to Wei Qi: "Wei is engaged and rest assured, before setting off from Xihe, General Tiance had some advice to me, including the idea of helping Yang Fengjun improve his combat effectiveness. Yang Feng stayed in Hedong, which could avoid a direct conflict between the Tiance army and the Xiliang army, and he could also do some things for the Tiance army that they wanted to do but were inconvenient. I am measured, and I will definitely not tell Yang Feng's soldiers about the vital point of the Tiance Army, I just train them how to deal with the Hun cavalry, and the cavalry of the Tiance Army and the Hun cavalry are two tactics. ”

Wei Qi saw that Zhang Liao had Lu Bu's acquiescence, so he didn't persuade him anymore. He has fulfilled his responsibilities, and Zhang Liao still has the final say on specific military affairs.

Zhang Liao's efficiency was very high, and it only took him two days to reduce the original Yang Fengbu of more than 48,000 people to only 18,000 people.

Zhang Liao first streamlined his age, and cut off all those who were under the age of 15, those who were over 30 years old, those who were physically disabled, and all women and children!

This time, half of the redundant personnel are distinguished.

Then, Zhang Liao asked the remaining half to run around Anyi City twice, and those who couldn't hold on were all cut off.

Zhang Liao originally wanted to carry out the third round of layoffs, but looking at Yang Feng's face that was so anxious that he was about to cry, he still forgot it.

If according to the selection criteria of the Tiance Army, among the 18,000 people who remained, at most 3,000 to 4,000 qualified soldiers could be selected! As for the rest, they either went to work as auxiliaries for transporting grain and grass, or as engineers for construction and construction, or as for planting and cultivating in the fields, and anyway, they had no chance of becoming real soldiers.

Because of the urgency of time, after Zhang Liao helped Yang Feng streamline the team, he immediately began to organize these 18,000 people for training.

Zhang Liao placed the five hundred cavalry he had brought with him in the distance, then divided Yang Feng's troops into eighteen phalanxes of thousand men, and personally taught them how to use shields, spears, and bows to block the cavalry as they charged.

Five hundred cavalry rushed over in the style of the Hun charge, Zhang Liao immediately asked the shield-wielding soldiers at the front of the defending thousand-man phalanx to erect the shield wall, and then let the spear-wielding soldiers rush the spear tip outward, sticking out from the gap in the shield wall, looking like a row of hedgehogs on the periphery of the military array. Behind the spear-wielding soldiers, Zhang Liao had the soldiers with bows and arrows line up in horizontal rows, diagonally facing the air, and when the cavalry rushed into the range of the bows and arrows, they would release the arrows together.

This is the simplest formation for infantry to defend against cavalry, as long as the shield wall and spear forest in front are not scattered by the cavalry, the archers behind can inflict great damage on the cavalry.

Yang Feng took his leaders to stand beside Zhang Liao, carefully observing and remembering the passwords and timing issued by Zhang Liao.

After three days of repeated practice, the soldiers under Yang Feng's command basically mastered this method of defending the cavalry charge on the spot in the field.

Zhang Liao said to Yang Feng: "Tomorrow you take 10,000 people out of the city, let's go and fight Guo Da." After the Hun cavalry appears, you will command the troops to defend in place, and the matter of dealing with the Hun cavalry will be left to me. ”

Yang Feng blinked and looked at Zhang Liao with some incredulity. "General Zhang, are you going to use 500 cavalry to fight head-on with 3,000 cavalry of the Huns?"

Zhang Liao shook his head and said: "It's not that you can't fight hard, it's just that the casualties are too big and it's not worth it." I am ready to lie in ambush behind the flanks of the Southern Huns, and when their attack on your army is blocked, rush out and surprise them! You'd better let your soldiers withstand the first wave of intimidating Hun charges, or I won't have time to save you!" ”

Zhang Liaodu helped so much that Yang Feng could no longer be the eighth king of the shrunken head, so he made up his mind and summoned the leaders of his command and held a pre-war mobilization meeting. At the meeting, Yang Feng warned these leaders that when they went out of the city to fight tomorrow, their subordinates would flee and they would be killed.

The next day, Yang Feng led an army of 10,000 to battle, and after a half-day march, approached the area of Dongyanchi in the near future.

According to Zhang Liao's deployment, Yang Feng did not rush to attack Guo Da's troops stationed in Dongyanchi, but sent people to intimidate and demand that the other party withdraw from Dongyanchi. Guo Da's troops naturally did not give in, but immediately sent people to ask Guo Da for help.

From Dongyanchi to Xie County, the fast horse can arrive in three hours. After Guo Da received the alarm, he asked Yu Fuluo to lead the cavalry to drive Yang Feng's troops.

This kind of thing is not the first time Guo Da has encountered it. The first few times, Yu Fuluo led the cavalry to rush over, scattered Yang Feng's troops, and drove them back to Anyi City to finish the work. Yang Feng was slippery like a loach, and Guo Da's military advisor Hu Cai tried several times to transfer Yang Feng out of Anyi City to solve it completely, but Yang Feng was not fooled. Guo Da thought that this time it was still Yang Feng who sent his subordinates out to harass Yanchi.

After receiving the order, Yu Fuluo was a little reluctant, but he had not yet found an opportunity to get rid of Guo Da and Hu Cai at the same time, so he could only endure and obey. The dove occupies the magpie's nest, and it depends on the opportunity, otherwise it will be impossible to steal the chickens and rice.

At this time, it was already night, because the weather was relatively warm, and the area from Xie County to Yanchi was flat, so it was more suitable for stealing camps. Yu Fuluo decided to teach Yang Feng a harsh lesson this time, otherwise it would always be endless, and it would delay his business.

After Yu Fuluo let the three thousand tribal cavalry eat and drink, he took advantage of the faint moonlight to cross the water and quickly pounced in the direction of the east salt pond.

On the side of Dongyanchi, before Zhang Liao led the cavalry to leave Yang Feng's camp, he explained to Yang Feng again: "Tonight night is very dangerous, you have to prevent Yu Fuluo from coming to steal the camp in the second half of the night, I have helped you set up the camp, as long as you command the soldiers to defend according to the training methods of the previous days, the Huns will not be able to get close at all!" As long as you hold the camp, I promise to send you 500 horses tomorrow!" ”

As soon as Yang Feng heard that there were five hundred war horses to take, he suddenly became energetic.
