Chapter 54: The Choice

The five hundred infantry led by Han Yu held the formation, and they ran unhurriedly in the direction of the bank of the Xingcheng River.

As for the rebel soldiers who began to disperse, Han Yu didn't even glance at them.

Chasing down the rebel infantry was Zhao Yun and Gongsun Da's business, and the most important thing he needed to do now was to form up and block the rebel soldiers on the west bank of the river on the opposite side of the river, so as not to let them cross the river easily.

As for military merits, Han Yu is not worried, as long as he does what he should do, he believes that Gongsun Xu will not forget him.

At this time, victory is the most crucial, if the rebel soldiers cross the river and successfully destroy Gongsun Xu's plan, let alone the war exploits, he will not have the face to go back to see Gongsun Xu.

Seeing that General Zhao Yun commanded nearly 100 cavalry on the bank of the river to continuously assemble to his side, Han Yu did not go over to greet Zhao Yun, and directly led the infantry to the east bank of the Xingcheng River.

Han Yu saw that his men were about to reach the riverbank, and he shouted to his subordinates, "The front army is assembled by the river. The sword and shield men were at the front, and the pikemen followed. Crossbowmen took positions in the third and fourth rows as much as possible, and then the archers. You must pay close attention to the movements of the rebel cavalry on the other side, and you must not allow the rebels to cross the river successfully. ”

Seeing that the former generals under his command commanded his soldiers to arrange the formation in an orderly manner, Han Yu continued to shout loudly: "The rear army obeys orders, rests in place, and is ready for battle at any time. ”

Han Yu was distributed according to the front army and the rear army, and he did not consider the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the front army and the rear army.

On such a riverbank, as long as the cavalry and infantry of the rebels could not fly across the river at once, then they would not be the opponents of the soldiers on the shore at all, and even if they shot arrows, they would be subdued.

As for letting the soldiers of the rear army rest in place, it is more of a strategy and tactic.

Although the rebels crossed the river at the place where he was stationed, when the enemy wanted to cross the river, he did not necessarily cross the river from this place.

He had to set aside a mobile army to maintain his strength, and at that time, he would need these people on top, and as long as the rebels crossed the river, these people would attack in line with the rebels crossing the river.

Han Yu, the infantry of the rebels, was not worried, these infantry had already fled in fright, and there was absolutely no possibility of reflexively attacking them.

As for the fact that some of Han Yu's troops were rebels, Han Yu was not even worried. According to his arrangement, even if someone wants to make trouble, they can't set off any waves.

Dividing line ――――――――――

Zhang was so anxious, he never thought that the situation would develop to such a point.

Sending their henchmen upstream to clear the enemy army had been successful, but they missed the best opportunity to cross the river.

A large number of Han soldiers appeared on the opposite side of the riverbank, and they were almost at the riverbank, ready to wait for them to cross the river.

And he and Chak's infantry had been disabled at this time, and if they didn't cross the river to rescue, his infantry would have been killed by the Han soldiers sooner or later.

Crossing the river and fighting with the Han army on the opposite side, he still took advantage of the fact that the cavalry on Gongsun Zhan's side had not yet killed, and found a place to cross the river upstream, and Zhang Ye's heart was tangled.

Zhang Ye looked at the sudden reinforcements over there, his heart was a little confused, and he also had some more timidity.

Zhang Ye couldn't pay attention to it in his heart, and he asked solemnly: "Chak, you have also seen the current situation, now we have two choices, one is to cross the river immediately now, and take advantage of the Han soldiers' foothold to kill back." The second is that we ran upstream along the Xingcheng River, found a river crossing point and crossed the river quickly, and returned as fast as possible. What do you think should be done? ”

Although Zhang Ye proposed the choice project, he still preferred the second option in his heart, after all, it would be relatively safe to use the second option, which was nothing more than that some soldiers would die when crossing the river, and they would definitely be able to ignore the Han army's infantry and retreat from Xingcheng.

Retreating from this side of the Xingcheng River, at most, thousands of infantry will die, and they will definitely not be punished in comparison, and it is also the safest plan.

And with the first plan, the most likely thing is that he and Chack will bury their bones in Xingcheng River and come to the end of the army.

But what! The first option also has certain advantages, as long as their side starts to cross the river, their infantry will see hope and will organize a formation to fight the Han army.

In terms of total numbers and cavalry numbers, they still have the upper hand, and if they fight, they may even turn defeat into victory.

Judging from the current situation, there is no way to promote the other side.

If there was a huge problem on the side of the promotion of the adults, then Gongsun Zhan's old dog's troops would have been killed a long time ago.

Chack had been staring angrily at the situation on the other side of the river, his eyes red as he saw his soldiers fleeing in formation.

After listening to Zhang Ye's analysis, he gritted his teeth and said: "Kill the past, let's kill the past now." There are only so many enemies, and as long as we can get ashore, victory will be ours. ”

After Chack finished speaking to Zhang Ye, he didn't even look at Zhang Ye's iron-clad face, and he shouted loudly: "Good men of Wuhuan, cross the river with me, let's cross the river and kill his dog, go and kill him." ”

Chack didn't have much thought about the infantry on the other side, but he couldn't face defeat, let alone flee back from the Xingcheng River.

There were no giant trees floating downstream, and the river had receded to where it had been before, and he was going to cross the river to kill the damned Han soldiers with dignity.

Unlike before, now that the water level of the river has been lowered, there is not much danger when crossing the river, at least they don't have to worry about drowning directly or being hit by the giant trees roaring down from above.

Although there was an infantry team from the Han army, compared to the cavalry under him, they were still not enough, and he led his men to defeat those Han soldiers.

The number of cavalry under him and Zhang Ye is higher than the number of infantry led by Han Yu, and there are hundreds of infantry, he divides the infantry and cavalry into two places to cross the river together, and Han Yu's side is bound to divide the troops, so that their pressure is much less, and there is a great hope of crossing the Xingcheng River.

Chak led the Wuhuan Iron Cavalry to take the lead in crossing the river, and they had already made up their minds to cross the Xingcheng River in one go.

Zhang Ye looked at Chak, who was directing the crossing of the river, and his face seemed to be smeared with ashes from the bottom of the pot.

At this time, it is definitely not a good thing to force the river to cross the river like this, and those infantry on the opposite side of the river bank will definitely reach the east bank of the Xingcheng River one step ahead of them.

There was a world of difference between archery on the shore and archery on horseback in the water, and the cavalry that had gathered to attack could withdraw at any time to defend it, and it was absolutely worthless for them to force their attacks.

However, now that Chack has begun to command his cavalry to cross the river, he must be prepared for the second wave of river crossings, and even more so to guard against the possibility of Gongsun Zhan's troops appearing at any time......
