The chariot formation in Zhou Yu's cognition has a defensive effect on the cavalry.

Therefore, Zhou Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhang Fei's car formation, and he even thought about whether to set up a car formation, but the chariot couldn't be built for a while.

But Zhou Yu also knew the weakness of the car formation, he could only defend, and the attack was weak, and sooner or later he would be broken by the cavalry. But now it is the right choice to delay time with the car formation.

Moreover, the chariot formation blocked the cavalry, even if it dragged on for time, it was estimated that it would suffer heavy losses, which was also in line with Zhou Yu's purpose of weakening Liu Beijun.

Therefore, in Zhou Yu's cognition, Zhang Fei led a military vehicle formation to block the road, even if it delayed time, it was inevitable that there would be heavy casualties.

However, Zhou Yu saw that Zhang Fei not only stopped Cao Ren's cavalry, but also because Cao Ren's division of troops caused the cavalry impact force to be unable to work together, the two teams of cavalry each had a decline in combat power after the war.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Fei did not simply rely on the chariot formation to stop the enemy, but arranged three hundred crossbowmen to shoot arrows in a row behind the chariot array, using archery to kill and injure the enemy.

Unfortunately, there were too few archers and crossbowmen, and the arrows fired were sparse, and the cavalry could swim quickly, and the crossbowmen could only harass the cavalry, but could not effectively kill the cavalry.

Zhou Yu complained about Liu Bei at that time, saying that since there was such a way to kill the enemy, he should have told himself that if he allocated a thousand crossbowmen to help shoot, half of the thousand cavalry could be considered lucky.

Liu Bei just smiled, and Zhang Fei's three hundred crossbowmen were not used to kill the enemy, but to force the cavalry to stay away from each other, so as not to reunite and form a joint force.

Zhou Yu had never fought in the north after all, and he didn't know how powerful the cavalry would be once they joined forces, and since they had already paid casualties for them to divide their troops, they must not be allowed to join forces again.

The distance between the two cavalry teams slowly became longer, and the cavalry with weakened impact could not cause continuous impact on the vehicle formation, and its power was also weakened a lot.

However, Zhang Fei's car formation was not in the best state after all, and occasionally some of the impacts were damaged and some of the cavalry drilled into the formation.

And at this time, the power of the Mandarin Duck Array was reflected.

The wolf soldiers quickly stepped forward to block the way of the cavalry, and together with the shield soldiers, they formed a simple antler, preventing the cavalry from expanding quickly through the breach.

And the long knife soldiers don't cut people at this time, just cut off the horse's feet This year, horses are important strategic materials, and they can kill people and definitely not hurt horses, Cao Jun has never seen such a shameless soldier, he doesn't hurt people, he deliberately rushes to cut off the horse's feet.

The cavalry who rushed into the gap was in a hurry for a while, either dropping their horses, or retreating from their horses, plus there were people behind them who shot crossbows and cold arrows from time to time, or someone with a short knife to kill nearby, and the gap that was finally broken through was blocked again.

Of course, Zhang Feijun's casualties were not small, mainly shield soldiers and wolf soldiers, and they wanted to block the cavalry as soon as possible, which was equivalent to using shields and long bamboo poles to withstand the impact of the cavalry, which was no better than the consequences of Ling Tong's soldiers using spears to harden them.

But these losses, in the eyes of Zhou Yu and Zhang Fei, are all acceptable, if the cavalry is allowed to break through the gap, it will be the real heavy casualties.

In this way, although Zhang Feijun suffered some losses, he was still stubbornly delaying time under the impact of the hard-top cavalry.

Zhou Yu was surprised, and then looked at Guan Yujun's attack now, Guan Yujun's attack is nothing special, it is an ordinary attack on the walled city, but the speed is much faster than the Jiangdong Army's attack.

Don't forget, Guan Yu only has 3,000 people, while Zhou Yu used to attack the walled city, arranging at least 5,000 people.

In this regard, Zhou Yu had some conclusions in his heart.

Although it was very unhappy, whether it was the quality of the soldiers or the command ability of the generals, the Jiangdong Army was probably not as good as the army brought by Liu Bei.

But fortunately, there should not be many soldiers like Liu Bei, and there are even fewer generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, which is the only consolation.

And now the situation on the battlefield is already obvious.

Cao Ren's cavalry was blocked out of the car formation and couldn't pass, Niu Jin's strategy army seemed to have just sent troops when they realized that the situation on the battlefield was unfavorable, and they were also temporarily blocked by Zhang Xi on the east side of the main battlefield, and now the question is when Guan Yu will be able to capture Cao Yong's camp.

At this time, Zhou Yu couldn't care about intriguing with Liu Bei, so he immediately ordered Lu Meng to lead the army to attack, and attacked Guan Yu on both sides, striving to quickly break through Cao Yong's camp.

At the same time, he ordered Chen Wu and Pan Zhang, each with 500 people, to quickly detour behind Niu Jin, and strive to occupy Niu Jin's walled city before Niu Jin returned to the army. If the Niujin camp is prepared, it will also threaten the Niujin army from the flank, and prevent him from quickly reinforcing the central battlefield.

After doing this, Zhou Yu smiled and beckoned Liu Bei and Xu Shu to return to the military tent.

The arrangement has been made, and the rest is a matter of time, and the two walled cities outside Gangneung City can no longer be a threat.

What Zhou Yu has to do now is to fool Liu Bei before Zhang Yuanchang, the discerning guy comes back.

"Xiang Wen Xuande has a good way to govern the army, and the second general of Guan Zhang under the account has the courage of ten thousand people, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation!" Zhou Yu smiled all over his face and put a high hat on Liu Bei.

Liu Bei hurriedly said modestly, "Don't dare, the army is strictly governed, the soldiers are like gods, the Chibi fire, the burning Cao Cao fled from the wind, he is really a hero in the world!" ”

Tout each other, whoever is serious is a fool.

Zhou Yu also smiled, didn't take it seriously, and started his own flickering.

"In the past, it was all about the ability of the navy and the plan of fire attack." Zhou Yu paused for a moment before continuing, "I, the generals of Jiangdong, it can be said that it is difficult to meet opponents in the vertical and horizontal rivers, but this land battle is attacking the city. But it is ashamed that the Jiangdong soldiers are far less than those under the command of Xuande Gong. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Hey, all the governors are all under the command of tigers and wolves, the generals are brave, the soldiers use their lives, and they are only Jiangling, but it takes some time, how can you be vain?!" ”

Zhou Yu also shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said, "This is not Yu's presumptuous words, but the truth." Jiangdong soldiers have been in the south for a long time, and they are accustomed to fighting by water, fighting on the ground, and they are even more helpless in the face of cavalry, which makes Cao Ren famous. Today, the public soldiers of Xuande are different from my Jiangdong, but they can restrain Cao Ren'er. This is not the incompetence of our Jiangdong soldiers, but the fact is that our Jiangdong generals are not accustomed to land warfare and have no command. ”

This is Zhou Yu's true words, and it is also Zhou Yu's biggest experience after watching the war today.

The soldiers of Jiangdong are not weak in combat or have problems with training, but no one can command them to attack the city.

Even if it is Zhou Yu, his land combat experience is basically fought with those princes in Jiangdong, and it is no problem to attack the city normally, but when he encounters cavalry, Zhou Yu has no choice.

I don't have any experience with cavalry, especially how to use infantry against cavalry.

But Liu Bei is different, he fought all the way from the north to the south, although he often failed, but he really has seen all kinds of troops, and he has encountered any enemy, and he has been beaten so many times, and he has long been beaten out of experience.

Zhou Yu really told the truth, recognizing the shortcomings of his army and finding ways to correct them, which is also the quality that an excellent commander should have.

It's just that Zhou Yu told the truth, and Liu Bei didn't know what Zhou Yu was going to do.

For the sake of caution, Liu Bei did not talk easily, but sat silently, waiting for Zhou Yu to continue.

Zhou Yu was also not polite, and continued, "My Jiangdong generals have no experience in land warfare, so Yu asks Xuande Gong to remember the righteousness of the alliance, and temporarily lend Guan Zhang Er General to Yu, and after pacifying Nanjun, Yu will return himself. Xuande Gong, I don't know if it's okay?! ”

What?!

Do you want to borrow my second brother and third brother?!

What does this mean?!

If it was just a simple loan, for the sake of the alliance, Liu Bei would not be unable to agree.

But. Zhou Yu, the borrowed general, is he really just taking a fancy to the leadership ability of the second and third brothers? !

Or do you have something else on your mind?!

For example, transfer the second and third brothers away, and then make it easier to attack yourself or Jiang Xia?!

Liu Bei looked at Xu Shu beside him, trying to get some reference and help from Xu Shu's side.

Xu Shu thought for a while, shook his head slightly at Liu Bei, and then continued to stand aside without speaking, pretending to be a master.

After Liu Bei got the suggestion, he turned his head to Zhou Yu and said with a smile, "Governor Meng values my second brother and third brother, and I thank you here, this matter is very important, and I need to discuss it with the generals, and I will reply to the governor after discussion." ”

Zhou Yu looked at Liu Bei, and then at Xu Shu who was standing behind Liu Bei. Just now, Xu Shu shook his head slightly, and Zhou Yu couldn't see it.

As soon as Xu Shu shook his head, Liu Bei dragged out time. Zhou Yu can't see that there is a problem.

However, Zhou Yu didn't care too much about Xu Shu, thinking that it was just a civilian official brought by Liu Bei to counsel the military aircraft, so he skipped Xu Shu at the moment and said to Liu Bei, "Duke Xuande is a hero in the world, a lord of one party, why do you need to discuss everything with your subordinates?!" Moreover, Yu is just borrowing generals, not borrowing soldiers, can't Xuande Gong even agree to such a trivial matter, so, how can I say the love of alliance? ! ”

Yes, this is an agitation, and Liu Bei was put on the shelf, which made Liu Bei a little difficult to step down.

Liu Bei is not very easy to speak, so Xu Shu has to come forward at this time.

"The governor is wrong to say this!" Xu Shu hurriedly opened his mouth and said, "My lord and Guan Zhang, the two generals, although they are called monarchs and ministers, are really brothers, and this matter is known to the world. The governor wants to use my lord's brother to break Cao, but he does not allow my lord to consult with his brother, which is against human feelings. ”

Zhou Yu paused for a moment, I really didn't expect that this civil official could be so sharp-tongued? !

He turned his head to look at Xu Shu at the moment, then got up and arched his hand, and asked, "I haven't asked Mr. Daming yet." ”

"Don't dare, a certain Yingchuan Xu Shu, Xu Yuan Zhiye!" Xu Shu returned the salute and introduced himself.

Zhou Yu probably walked in his mind, as if he remembered, this is what the intelligence said, Liu Bei's number two strategist in the army.

Zhou Yu didn't care too much.

First, Xu Shu is not famous, and Jiang Dongfang does not have much information to describe him.

In the two, some people become the number two person, but they may not necessarily have the ability, but they may also be seniority. Zhou Yu probably thought so about Xu Shu, thinking that he was just Jian Yong and Sun Qian.

After all, Liu Bei already has a Zhuge Liang and a Zhang Xi, and he can't be like this, just find a strategist who has the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, right? !
