Chapter 229: Slap in the Face (I)

At the time of the battle, the Qiaorui Great Array stood with its back to its own battalion, and the position of the front army of the large array was only less than two miles away from its own battalion!

The reason why it is so close to the big camp is, on the one hand, that the preparation time of this big formation needs to be very long, and it can't run very far, and on the other hand, it is backed by the big camp, and the threat from the rear can be ignored!

In the big array, except for the position of the rear army where Qiao Rui is located, which has already been arranged and has not moved, the rest of the positions have changed!

Qiao Rui calculated that Lu Bu would not hesitate to attack this position after seeing his banner, so he had already arranged the rhythm of the entire large array change, and explained it to his generals in detail several times, until it was confirmed that it was correct.

In fact, when this big array was in the cloth, it was waiting for this moment!

In the middle of the big array, there are some crossbowmen! looked at the black press, but in fact, except for the row of oars and a few columns of spears in the front row, it could only cause a certain amount of damage to the cavalry, and there was no ability to resist the cavalry charging into battle! And when changing formations, the first step is for the archers to separate from the middle and move quickly towards the arrays on both sides! The platoon of oarmen in front of the formation also gave up their oars and retreated with the pikemen to both sides, revealing a gap in the middle! As a result, a large "U" shaped array was formed!

At this time, Lu Bu was only twenty or thirty steps away from them, and even if he wanted to retreat, he had no chance!

The arrays on both sides were very loosely arranged at the beginning of the formation, and the soldiers were separated by half a foot from each other, and the gap in the middle was completely accessible to the archers!

Immediately afterwards, after the archers withdrew to the two sides, the second change of formation, the position on both sides of the "U" shape, that is, the position of the archers withdrew, after a few rows of canophers turned around, the canopy stood up, and the pikemen raised the spears up, and suddenly formed an array that was difficult to break through! And the archers, lined up behind it, waiting for orders!

Although in the process of changing the formation, due to the fast speed and fierce impact of Lu Bu's cavalry, thousands of archers were slaughtered, but in Qiao Rui's opinion, the original purpose of the design of this array has been achieved! With the death of a thousand archers, he deceived Lu Bu into 7,000 cavalry, and this deal was worth it! War, it is impossible not to die!

After the two formations, a large "U" shaped array with an internal space length of more than a mile and a width of more than 100 steps, and a strong internal and external structure was completed. Most of the cavalry led by Lu Bu has penetrated deep into the "U" shaped array, although the rear of the cavalry formation has not entered, but just killing these cavalry who entered in front is a great achievement!

Qiaorui's plan succeeded! At this time, it seems that Lu Bu's only way out is to retreat! If you retreat, you must stop the whole army, which takes time, and then the whole army turns, which takes time, and finally the rear team of the whole army becomes the front team, and then slowly accelerates, and opens this death trap, which takes more time! And what happens during these hours? In the back and left and right formations, as many as 6,000 archers kept shooting arrows, and it was conservatively estimated that each person shot ten arrows, which is more than 60,000 feathered arrows! These feather arrows are enough for Lu Bu to drink a pot!

Therefore, a smug smile appeared on Qiao Rui's cold face! After this battle, it is difficult to say whether Lu Bu can save his life, even if he protects his life, his great defeat of Lu Bu is enough to ensure that he becomes a famous general of the Han Dynasty and the first general under Yuan Shu's account!

Qiao Rui yelled: "Shoot the arrows! ”

The sound of drums sounded, and dozens of big drums beat at the same time, and the sound made people's eardrums itch! This drum beat is a signal! A signal to command the archers to release their arrows, and at the same time, a signal to order Zhang Xun to attack!

Lu Bu's cavalry has been entangled, and the 10,000 foot soldiers led by Tian Fan are a tired army! They arrived at the camp at noon, and they started building the camp without stopping, and they were tired, well, yes, hungry! At this time, Zhang Xun led the 4,000 cavalry who were well-fed, well-fed, well-rested, and rushed over, what effect would it have? …,

Trap the opponent's cavalry with your own perfect array, and attack the opponent's tired infantry with your own well-replenished cavalry! After the opponent's infantry is dispersed, your own cavalry immediately returns and destroys the opponent's cavalry together with the infantry! After finishing the battle, after a short rest, immediately plunged straight into the empty defense of the lower pit! At that time, even if Xiapi cannot be captured, Liu Bei and Guan Yu will definitely be in chaos in the direction of Suiyang and Longkang, which are the main commanders! When the time comes, the soldiers will have no fighting spirit, and the Xuzhou Group will be defeated!

This is the full battle plan of the bridge! The whole battle was in a stalemate, and he Qiaorui single-handedly added a small weight to the balance of victory, which was bound to lead to a quick end to the war! Thinking of being able to shoulder such an important mission and be able to complete it, Qiao Rui was full of excitement!

After the drum beating, the archers began to release arrows, and the arrows rained down, and the knights of the Lu Bu army began to die in large numbers! At the same time, the gate on the south side of the Qiaorui camp suddenly opened, and four thousand knights, under the leadership of Zhang Xun, rushed out like flying, rolling in the rolling yellow sand, like a yellow dragon, towards the camp that Tian Fan had not yet built in the distance!

The two armies were separated by ten miles, which was roughly equivalent to a little more than four kilometers and less than five kilometers according to the distance of later generations! The speed of the light cavalry, when charging, could reach forty kilometers, which was too fast to take into account the formation, and if it was slow, it did not have too strong impact. That is to say, Zhang Xun's cavalry came out of the narrow camp gate, tidied up the queue a little, slowly accelerated, and increased to the speed of the sprint, and then rushed to the location of Tian Fanfang's foot soldiers, it would take at least ten minutes, or even a quarter of an hour!

That's enough for this time!

Tian Fan, under the escort of Guan Ping, Shi A, Wang Zi and others, watched as Lu Yi methodically arranged to go to the camp first and line up with three hundred personal soldiers!

Koji is indeed a famous general! Eight hundred soldiers who first ascended the camp, immediately lined up after he shouted! 300 soldiers armed with small swords and steel knives are in the front, 300 soldiers armed with crossbows are in the middle, and the last 200 soldiers equipped with steel knives and ordinary crossbows are in the end!

After the formation was formed, the eight hundred soldiers shouted three times in unison: "Kill, kill, kill!" ”

Tian Fan and the others only felt a fierce breath rushing to their faces! The 800 soldiers completed the formation, and immediately showed their goodness! Covered in iron armor, dark and cold, the arrows of feather arrows glittered in the sun! Eight hundred people stood still, but they were already like unsheathed swords, and it was foreseeable that those who stood in the way would surely die!

At this time, observing the power of these warriors up close, Tian Fan couldn't help but feel extremely happy to have subdued this group of fierce tigers! Ascend first and fall into battle, if it is really against the enemy, the two tigers will be injured when they fight, and that kind of loss is what Tian Fan does not want to see!

Tian Fan's three hundred personal guards were arrayed alone under the command of Ko Yi, next to Xiandeng, and the distance in the middle was only one zhang away! Although these 300 people are small, and the physical fitness of individual soldiers is not as good as the first one, but after the two small formations, no one can ignore these 300 people!

Nine thousand foot soldiers, it took less than a quarter of an hour to eat, which can be called god speed! At this time, Hao Zhao and Wei Yan had already rushed over with two thousand urgently summoned crossbowmen!

Lu Yi came to Hao Zhao and Wei Yan's side and said, "Hao Zhao and Wei Yan listen to the order!" ”

The two hurriedly clasped their fists and shouted: "The end will be!" ”

Koji nodded with satisfaction! He commanded loudly: "In a moment, each of you will lead a thousand crossbowmen and line up behind the first camp!" Remember, no one is allowed to fire an arrow without my orders! ”

The two of them clasped their fists on both sides and promised!

At this moment, the junior colonel on the lookout wood shouted: "Report to the general, the opposing cavalry has been dispatched, and there are still six miles away from us!" ”

Koji Yiban lowered his face, nodded to Tian Fan, and returned to the array that had landed first!

Looking at the cavalry less than five miles in front of him, a cold smile appeared on Koji Yi's face! Hehe, this is also considered cavalry? Even the white horse Yicong disappeared from his hands, and Zhang Xun's cavalry naturally would not be in his eyes! …,

The cavalry led by Zhang Xun is accelerating! He took a look, and saw that three miles ahead, among Tian Fan's foot soldiers, an army of about 1,000 people had been assembled, and all of them were ironclad troops!

Zhang Xun felt a little incomprehensible, why did Tian Fan's foot soldiers assemble so quickly? How is this possible? This thought flashed in his mind, and the rest was only envy, jealousy and hatred for the soldiers of Xuzhou! This is an army of 10,000 people, and there are 1,000 iron armors, oh my God......

Thinking about it, his face suddenly became much colder, and with a finger of his spear, he shouted: "The whole army is assaulted, and the ironclad army is eliminated first!" "No matter from which point of view, the Ironclad must be eliminated first! Who told them to assemble the formation first? If you form a formation, you can pose a threat to yourself, and if you form a formation, you deserve to be beaten first!

The knights looked at the ironclad army in front of them and screamed excitedly! More than 4,000 snow-bright ring-headed knives reflect brilliant brilliance under the sun!

Seeing that Zhang Xun was still two hundred and fifty steps away from the first climb, Lu Yi shouted: "Kick the crossbow, let go!" ”

Three hundred soldiers armed with crossbows, cast them immediately! Three hundred feathered arrows, with a strange roar that was enough to tickle people's eardrums, with unparalleled might, turned into a blue light, and instantly plunged into the strict riding formation!

The knights who were located in the front were immediately shot down dozens of people! The men and horses roared, and after the horses fell to the ground, more knights tripped down, and Zhang Xun's riding array couldn't help but be chaotic!

Two hundred paces away, Koji yelled: "Break the crossbow, release!" "Five hundred crossbows were immediately fired, and five hundred feather arrows once again took away hundreds of casualties! Of the five hundred feathered arrows, many flew very low! It was less than twenty centimeters away from the head of the soldier in front of him! Some of them are even more perverted, and they even fly past the ears of the soldiers in front of them! This tacit understanding and trust in the robe, as well as the crossbowman's exquisite skills, are truly amazing!

One hundred and fifty paces away, Koji yelled: "Archer, ten shots!" Spread the crossbow, kick the crossbow, and fire freely! ”

Zhang Xun's cavalry was suddenly hit to death by the dense feather arrows! More than 2,000 feather arrows fell, and the front of the cavalry formation suddenly thinned out a lot!

Zhang Xun was not worried, he yelled: "Brothers, speed up! "As long as the distance is close, the archers will not be able to fire any more arrows, and the threat will pass! Besides, after breaking through the canopy formation, the cavalry will charge, and the archers will be finished!

At this time, he noticed that there was no pikemen in this canopy formation! It's incredible! But in the blink of an eye, he threw this idea out of his mind, without a spear, it would be easier to break through, wouldn't it be better?
