"Liangxiang and Changping are, logically speaking, empty."

Zhang Chun also thinks so in his heart.

But when he thought about it deeply, he felt that something was wrong, what was wrong, he couldn't say, things didn't seem to be that simple.

Zhang Ju's eyes lit up, and he muttered: "The troops of Liangxiang and Changping are concentrated in Yuyang, which is also an opportunity for us, the terrain of Liangxiang is not good for attack, and Changping is different." ”

Zhang Chun asked: "General Zhang is saying that we will attack Changping in the second half of the night?" ”

"That's right!"

Zhang Ju continued: "You take my order, go to see Wuyan of Wuhuan, gather the remaining main force of cavalry, rush to Changping overnight, take the Han army by surprise, and maybe successfully attack Zhuojun, if we miss this opportunity, we may be pressed by the Han army at the northern foot of Yanshan Mountain, unable to advance." ”

Zhang Chun thought about it for a while, if they wanted to achieve great things, they had to break through the barrier of Yanshan, otherwise they could only be thieves in the northern part of Youzhou.

He temporarily let go of the feeling that something was wrong and promised, "Okay! ”

With that, Zhang Chun walked out of the camp.

The cavalry that had fled and returned had not yet rested before he was mobilized by him.

Uyan is the leader of a tribe in Wuhuan.

Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun rebelled and rebelled, and united with Qiu Liju to attack Youzhou, so Wuyan was subject to Zhang Ju and the others.

In the second half of the night of the day, Wuyan received Zhang Ju's order to gather the main cavalry force to attack Changping, and had to take out more than 2,000 cavalry from the tribe to meet Zhang Chun.

It takes a certain amount of time to get from the camp to Changping.

The infantry was too slow, the cavalry was fast, and the time of the sneak attack could be shortened, and the main force of the sneak attack was all cavalry.

Wuyan and Zhang Chun met up and soon came to the north of the Changping camp.

"Do it!"

Zhang Chun ordered directly.

The cavalry galloped and rushed to the Changping camp.

By this time it was already dawn and light appeared from the eastern sky, and they threw away all their torches, drew their knives, raised their guns and spears, and approached the camp quickly.

As soon as they got closer, they were discovered by the scouts sent out by Yang Zhao.

At this time, Yang Zhao stayed in the Changping camp, surrounded by infantry, and everyone looked nervously to the north, understanding that what was going to be fought was a very critical battle, but how it would be fought was still unknown.

"County Commander, the enemy is coming!"

The scout came back and said.

Yang Zhao said loudly: "All ready, the bed crossbow will go first!" ”

Changping had ten bed crossbows, which he divided into two batches of five each, all of which were moved to the camp before they were moved.

After a while, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came from the north, and both the soldiers in the camp and the ambush soldiers outside were holding their weapons in their hands and waiting for battle.

The enemy's cavalry, getting closer.

"Put!"

Yang Zhao said loudly.

Sou!

The sharp sound of breaking the air was very obvious in the continuous sound of horses' hooves, and soon the mournful screams of the war horses and the screams of the knights were heard.

Zhang Chun ignored all other factors, and only felt that Changping's defense must be very weak, and the barracks were absolutely empty, so he wanted to fight a quick battle, rushed directly in, and washed the camp here.

The cavalry charged so fast that it collided with the shaft of the three-bow crossbow.

The sharp iron blades of the arrow shafts broke through the bodies of more than a dozen war horses.

The horses and knights in front fell, and the cavalry in the rear couldn't control their speed and all crashed into it, but this was not over, and the second batch of arrows whistled and fired, and the speed was equally fast.

The enemy's front cavalry suddenly fell into confusion.

Wu Yan, who was in front of the cavalry, had only heard of the bed crossbow and had not seen the real thing, urging the cavalry to continue the charge, rushing forward desperately, and using the number of people to resist the power of the bed crossbow.

Ten bed crossbows, after all, the number is still a little less.

Shooting in turns, only five arrows were shot out at a time, the deterrent effect was far less than before, and the range of damage was not large, and the enemy's cavalry forced a charge, and finally walked within two hundred paces of the camp.

Yang Zhao thought about this situation, and also came up with countermeasures, shouting: "Archer, go!" ”

Infantry against cavalry, the most effective is long-range weapons.

The three-bow bed crossbow continued to shoot in turns.

The archers in the camp ran forward and drew their bows, and when the enemy walked into the effective range of the bows and arrows, Yang Zhao said in a loud voice: "Shoot!" ”

The archers stand behind the horses and draw their bows to shoot arrows.

Arrows swept through like locusts and charged the enemy cavalry in the front row.

The cavalry of Wuhuan and the rebels did not have armor like Yang Zhao's Xuanjia elite cavalry, they did not have battle armor, and they came in the rain of arrows, and more than 200 people were shot down.

In the camp of Changping, there were 2,000 archers.

Yang Zhao changed the way the archers fought and used round shooting, that is, two thousand people were divided into two batches, and after the first batch of shots, the gap between the arrows was changed, and the second group quickly drew the bow to fill it.

The second batch of arrows has been shot, and the first batch has completed the exchange of arrows and the drawing of bows, supplemental shooting.

Two thousand archers took turns firing, and there was basically no pause in the rain of arrows, plus the bed crossbow continued to shoot, and the enemy cavalry in the front row suffered heavy casualties, and knights continued to fall.

"Spear, poke out!"

Soon another cavalry approached the camp before the rejection of the horse, Yang Zhao ordered the soldiers with spears to step forward, and the tip of the spear pierced through the gap in the rejection of the horse and stabbed the enemy's war horse.

The spear stabbed and twitched, the horse fell, and the knight also fell, dying at the tip of the spear.

Bows and arrows and spears worked together to hold off the cavalry's attacks again and again.

Yang Zhao saw that the battle was almost going on, and said loudly: "Wave the flag and let the ambush soldiers do it." ”

The military flag in the camp immediately danced.

This is a signal for them to contact the ambush soldiers on the mountain.

This is the Qianshui River Valley, and the two sides are not very high mountains, but the river valley on this side is relatively open and looks like a peaceful place.

The ambush soldiers led by Fang Rui hid on the mountain next to the river valley.

As early as three days ago, they had prepared a sufficient number of stones on the mountain, and when they saw the military flag waving in the barracks, Fang Rui ordered: "Push the stones down." ”

Soldiers in ambush, pushing stones placed on the edge of the mountain.

The mountains on both sides, there were not too many trees to block them, and the stones were pushed down, and the speed of the tumbling suddenly accelerated, making a "boom" sound, and smashed towards the cavalry below.

Bang!

The first stone, crashing into the cavalry, fell among the cavalry.

Herod!

The war horse screamed.

Then the people screamed.

Immediately afterwards, other stones rushed in one after another, and although the casualties caused were not large, they were easy to cause confusion among the enemy's cavalry, so that the rear army of the cavalry could not quickly support the strong attack of the front army.

It is also possible to temporarily block the back of the valley with stones.

"Ambush, there is an ambush on the mountain!"

The enemy's cavalry, seeing the stones rolling down, exclaimed.

Seeing this, Zhang Chun, who was in command of the rear army, frowned, and the feeling that something was wrong came to his heart again.

They seem to have done something wrong.

"General, bed crossbow...... There is also a bed crossbow in front. ”

A cavalryman rode back from the front, and said eagerly: "Changping's troops, not only have they not decreased, but they seem to have strengthened, Wuyan has attacked several times and can't attack it, and the bed crossbow of Liangxiang has also appeared in Changping, we seem to have been tricked again!" ”
