Text Chapter 817 The Might of the Zhang Family's Army

"Huh!"

When the military order was issued, the 10,000 light cavalry on the left and right flanks all made a move, that is, they raised their bows and waited, and were ready to fire their bows and arrows at any time.

The sound of the enemy's footsteps was getting closer and closer, and he felt that he had reached within three hundred and fifty paces, which was within the range of the bow and arrow of the Zhang family's light cavalry.

"Attack!" Feeling that the time was ripe, Zhang Chao said decisively. Then, the 20,000 cavalry on the left and right flanks began to move, as if it were a moving forest, and the movements of the whole team were uniform and well-coordinated.

"Woooo

Suddenly, the sound of bows and arrows breaking through the air sounded, and then it rained down like raindrops into the ranks of the Rus' army that was moving in the distance.

"Ahhhhh

Ye Senin, who was in the ranks, did not expect that the Celestial Empire army would have the ability to deal with himself while dealing with Allah, and he was immediately a little dumbfounded, and instinctively made an order for the army to retreat.

After all, it was a dark night, and the range of vision was very limited, and without knowing how many enemies there were, any military order might not be correct.

After receiving the order, the Rus' army retreated sharply, and the 20,000 Zhangjia light cavalry, after chasing for about a mile, stopped, began to form a formation, and retreated. Although there is a good start, they all know that this is not the end, but the beginning, they will face several times the enemy tonight, and it will also be a fatal fight.

Yesenin led his troops and retreated, only to stop when other reinforcements came behind him. After that, it was a light loss, and under the combination of short-handed soldiers, the result of losing more than 10,000 soldiers was obtained, which made Ye Sening angry and anxious.

From the results of counting the losses, he had already come to the conclusion that the other side would not have too many people, and it would be twenty or thirty thousand people. Come to think of it, while facing the Allah Division, the Celestial Empire should not have more strength to deal with itself.

But it was these two or thirty thousand horses, not to mention that he was forced to retreat, and the loss was so huge, Ye Sening felt ashamed.

"Regroup the troops and horses, when encountering the opponent's archers, don't be afraid, rush forward, their number is not too much, as long as we rush up, the victory will definitely be ours." Cheering up the soldiers, Ye Senin regained his morale after converging the main force of 200,000 infantry from behind him.

Yesenin didn't believe that the Celestial Empire still had much power to deal with him. Even if he encounters the main force of the enemy, he will not retreat, he wants to entangle the other party, no matter what, tonight's battle is a life-and-death battle between you and me, and the winner may have the entire northeast front, as for the loser, then who will pay attention?

Yesenin, who did not intend to retreat, was in line with the idea of attacking the army in one go. It's just that when their army stepped forward, they still encountered the cavalry archers just now. The Rus' army, which had been prepared for this reason, opened their swords with shield soldiers, and slowly advanced with those bows and arrows.

In the face of the shield hand, the advantage of the Zhang family's light cavalry was stifled, and they had to retreat while shooting, and the one-mile distance that was originally pressed was quickly relinquished.

Feeling that the archers of the Celestial Empire were retreating, Ye Senin was even more confident, he first affirmed his strategy, and the next thing he needed to do was to keep moving forward, and then unite with General Allah's troops.

Retreating again and again, when the light cavalry of the Zhang family had retreated to the original position, Zhang Chao, who was dressed in white armor, said to Xu Chu, the chief of the guard on the side: "Pass the order, prepare to open fire." ”

Zhang Chao, who knew that his troops were too small, could only borrow other means if he wanted to deal with an enemy several times his size. And the black-coated cannon is one of his dependencies, he wants to use artillery fire to blow up the enemy's morale, he wants to use artillery fire to bombard the enemy who is far superior to his own number of many times.

"Boom, boom!"

Under the cover of the shield bearer, the Rus' army was striding forward, and when the morale was greatly shaken, suddenly bursts of fire struck, and then fell in the army, producing one wave of qi after another. Under the effect of such an attack, the shield soldiers who were guarding the front were bombed and killed one after another, and the Rus' army, which was originally full of morale, became frightened under the artillery fire.

The ten black-clothed cannons played their due power, and when they saw the enemy troops begin to retreat under the attack and the formation became chaotic, the face of the head of the guard, Xu Chu, became excited. But only Zhang Chao, the joy was just a flash.

He knew that ten black-coated cannons that could not shoot coherently did not really hurt the enemy, but at most they had the power to deter the enemy. And to really kill the enemy, you still need to rely on the most elite Zhangjia heavy cavalry.

"Come on, set up. Zhang's heavy cavalry attack! ”

The geese travel in the Xuanxiang array.

The crossbowmen were in the front and retreated after shooting, the cavalry was on the flanks, the halberds were in the center, and the spears were in the rear. This array is particular about wave after wave of attacks.

This is the most direct attack method of the Zhang family's heavy cavalry.

Cavalry archers bow shooting, artillery bombardment, heavy cavalry raids, these are the three steps that Zhang Chao prepared for Ye Senin.

If it was daytime, Zhang Chao might not have the courage to do it, after all, with 50,000 against more than five times the enemy, even if Zhang Jiajun is in the elite, it is difficult to do it. But this is the dark night, neither side knows the reality of the other party, so no one knows how many troops there are, as long as the Zhang Jiajun is brave enough to deter the other party in the shortest time, it may be able to defeat the enemy.

The heavy cavalry moved, and like a sharp knife, they plunged straight into the heart of the enemy.

If the cavalry led by Lu Bu is considered an iron cavalry, then the heavy cavalry of the Zhang family is an iron cavalry among the iron cavalry.

If the army led by Lu Bu is indeed the elite, then the heavy cavalry of the Zhang family is the elite of the elite.

With this elite, with their undefeated history, Zhang Chao is full of confidence.

In the darkness, I saw a mighty army of heroes enter the somewhat chaotic lineup of the Rus' army, and then there was a cold light, and one figure after another fell in the darkness, like wheat that had been harvested.

Zhang's heavy cavalry, the soldiers are out, no one is invincible!

Zhang's heavy cavalry, the front of the soldiers, the direction of the cover.

In the sound of war drums, ten black-clothed cannons continued to advance, and Zhangjia's heavy cavalry also continued to advance because of the extension of artillery fire.

There is the power of cannons in front, the bow and crossbow of the Zhangjia light cavalry on the side, and the iron-blooded front of the Zhangjia heavy cavalry in the front.

In the dark night, I didn't know how many people there were, only the rumbling sound in my ears and the noisy camp in my eyes.

Unable to figure out the situation, the only thing Ye Sening could do was to retreat and retreat, hoping to avoid the opponent's sharpness.

In this way, Yesenin's army retreated and retreated, leaving countless corpses on the ground, and it is not too much to describe it as a river of blood.

And at this time, in the rear of Yesenin's army, a corps of 200,000 troops was also launching a fierce attack, and without black-clothed artillery, they used bundled explosives to open the way, and after several loud noises, they launched their attack path.

The rear army of 150,000 people guarded important things such as grain, grass, ordnance, and quilts for the winter, and these things were so important on the battlefield. And now, suddenly faced with such an attack, they can only resist to the death.

It's just that with mental calculation or unintentionality, plus the advantage of troops, the first army rushed into the big camp in less than half an hour.

Faced with a mountain of grain, grass and clothing, an army of troops did not hesitate to burn it. Although these things are also what they need, they really can't care about so much at the moment, and it is impossible to have enough time to snatch them. Once it is dawn, when Ye Senin's main army is only facing 50,000 cavalry of the Zhang family's army, I am afraid that the time for a counterattack will come.

The thing was ignited, forming a sky-high fire, which made the retreating Yesenin notice it for the first time.

"It's not good, someone is attacking our granary, come on, retreat, retreat." Knowing the importance of those things, Ye Sening hurriedly retreated in surprise and quickly headed towards the rear camp.

As soon as the army retreated, this gave Zhang Jiajun the best chance to attack, and immediately took advantage of the victory, and the damage caused was several times greater than before.

The fire burned, and at the same time, it also alarmed Allah, who was fighting against the Lu Bu cavalry army.

At this time, he also got the news that a large number of Celestial Empire infantry army also began to attack his base camp, which was the 100,000 infantry army led by Hou Cheng.

Fearing that the same thing would happen to him, Allah did not dare to fight in love, and hurriedly began to retreat with the sergeant, and at the same time ordered the herald to make an order for the army to hold on.

Allah led an army of 500,000, and all he needed to face was Lu Bu's 80,000 cavalry, Wen Chou's 90,000 cavalry, and Hou Cheng's 100,000 infantry. If he has the courage to attack, there is a good chance that he will turn defeat into victory. It's just that Ye Sening's experience is there, and his courage is gone, but he has the upper hand with caution.

Allah retreated to the barracks with his limited cavalry and began to defend himself. After Lu Bu and Wen Chou came to the front of the battle with their respective cavalry, they first shouted and cursed, and when they did not see the slightest reaction after a quarter of an hour, they disappeared into the darkness again. But what everyone didn't know was that they were not hiding at all, but relying on the speed of the cavalry to rush towards Yesenin's department. They want to help Emperor Zhang Chao to deal with the enemy army that has been like a frightened bird.
