Chapter 240: Zhang Liao: Who else?
Zhang Yan hurriedly integrated the whole army and gathered outside the camp.
In order to defend Yang Zhao, outside the camp, he dug ditches and built fortifications, how long he could hold it, how long he could count it, as long as there was a sign that he could not hold it, he would retreat decisively, and he didn't need to think about anything else.
Zhang Liao was in charge of the battle, leading 10,000 people to confront Zhang Yan's more than 30,000 people.
Zhang Yan arranged 30,000 people to press the formation in the rear, and brought another 30,000 people to fight, but in the face of Zhang Liao's 10,000 people, the momentum of these 30,000 people fell to zero.
Yang Zhao's prestige, they have basically heard of it.
Before the fight started, he was too scared to confront him.
"You're Zhang Yan?"
Zhang Liao raised the knife in his hand and shouted: "I have come to challenge your whole army, who dares to fight me?" ”
How dare Zhang Yan go out to fight by himself, pointed to a general, and said, "You, face the battle!" ”
The general trembled, but stiffened, lifted a spear, and rode towards Zhang Liao.
The speed of the war horse charge very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he came to Zhang Liao's face, his spear was raised, and a cold light flashed at the tip of the spear, rushing straight towards Zhang Liao, shouting: "Give me death!" ”
Clang!
Zhang Liao's knife was in front of the tip of the gun.
The force of the war horse's impact was very strong, but Zhang Liao followed all of them, his body did not shake, and then the blade turned and slashed down at the opponent.
The general raised his gun to resist.
But his wooden gun was cut off by Zhang Liao.
Bang!
This general, unable to withstand the force of this knife, was cut to the ground, the war horse under the seat was frightened, let out a mournful roar and ran around, after he fell to the ground, he endured the pain and got up and wanted to escape, but Zhang Liao's voice echoed in his ears.
"Want to go?"
Zhang Liao rode his horse, caught up with this person, and lifted the reins hard.
Sigh......
The war horse raised its front hooves and kicked the back of the general, kicking the person away on the spot, spurting blood from his mouth, and falling to the ground not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
In just a few rounds, he killed a general.
Zhang Yan swallowed his saliva, not only Yang Zhao was very strong, but his subordinate generals were also very powerful.
How can this be fought?
Seeing their own people fall from their horses, they didn't even dare to rush up to save them.
"Come again!"
Zhang Liao didn't even look at it, and the general who fell to the ground raised his knife and said imposingly.
"General Zhang's strength is very strong!"
Chen Zhi, who was watching the battle, said in admiration.
Other generals agree with this.
Jia Xu laughed and said: "The lord's subordinates, there are no generals who are not strong. ”
The other side.
"I'm coming!"
Seeing Zhang Liao so arrogant, in the Yellow Turban Army, a lieutenant couldn't help but rush out, using a big knife, shouted angrily, and killed Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao shouted: "Good coming! ”
The knife in his hand waved.
The blade flashed a cold light, blocking the opponent's knife.
Zhang Liao's knife dragged along the way, and with a speed that the other party could not predict, it directly slashed at the opponent's neck.
Burst!
Blood splattered.
The second Zhang Yan's subordinate general, blood spilled on the spot, and he couldn't even survive a round.
Zhang Liao put away his knife, looked at the enemy, and asked again: "Zhang Yan, is there anything else?" ”
Zhang Yan's face turned very red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't fight again, stick to the defense line, and wait for the enemy to come." ”
"So you yellow turbans, that's the guts? This bit of strength? ”
Zhang Liao said disdainfully: "The whole army obeys the order, kill with me!" ”
"Kill!"
There was a burst of chanting.
Zhang Liao rode his horse and took the lead.
The Qingzhou soldiers behind him quickly followed and attacked Zhang Yan's defense line here.
Zhang Yan said in a loud voice: "Archer, prepare, shoot!" ”
A large number of arrows rained down on Zhang Yan and them.
Zhang Liao flew the arrow that flew close to him and shouted, "Get on the shield!" ”
The infantry in the front row immediately raised their shields to block the rain of arrows, gradually approaching, and getting closer and closer to the ditch dug by Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan ordered everyone to retreat into the ditch, the archers hid in the ditch, and the arrows shot out one by one.
More than 30,000 people, in the face of 10,000 people attack, they did not dare to fight head-on, but just dodged and dodged to defend, which should have been a strong side, but at this time they were getting weaker and weaker.
"Spearman, up!"
Zhang Liao ordered again.
A platoon of soldiers armed with spears quickly stepped forward from the rear, stood behind the shield soldiers, and approached the edge of the ditch.
The Yellow Turban soldiers in the ditch still wanted to draw their bows and shoot arrows, but the arrows were no exception, blocked by the shields, and in the interval between their exchange of arrows, the shields parted and the spearmen moved.
A spear with a handle sticks out from behind the shield and stabs into the ditch.
The tip of the gun stabbed down.
The Yellow Turban soldier in the ditch was stabbed as soon as the arrow was replaced, and the screams echoed in the ditch.
The first row of ditches was quickly broken by Zhang Liao, and the yellow turban could not stop it at all.
"Go on!"
Zhang Liao snorted and led his troops forward.
Last night, they began to think of a way to deal with the ditches, and with an order, soldiers in the rear army immediately stepped forward with bags of dirt and simply filled in the ditches.
Zhang Liao: They continued to advance.
Soon came to the edge of the second defensive ditch, Zhang Liao was about to use the same method to break through, but when the Yellow Turban soldiers inside saw it, they were so frightened that they couldn't even pull their bows, turned around and got up and ran.
Zhang Yan said anxiously: "Quickly retreat behind the fortification and stick to the defensive line!" ”
These Yellow Turban soldiers retreated like a tide.
Zhang Liao continued to fill the ditch and culled it.
"The country let the country, the sub-scripture, and harass after the bypass!"
Yang Zhao saw that Zhang Yan was about to retreat, so he ordered.
"Yes!"
The two of them answered, and each led the charge with his troops.
Xuanjia elite cavalry, divided into two teams, from the Chinese army to the left and right sides of Zhang Yan's stronghold, like two huge black dragons, fangs and claws to pounce on the enemy, the horse's hooves trampled on the ground, the sound was loud, like a horse stepping on the mountains and rivers, shocking the enemy's heart.
Yang Zhao said again: "Shuzhi and Ziyi, each leading 5,000 troops, are ready to storm Zhang Yan's defense line, those fortifications...... Bombarded with a three-bow bed crossbow. ”
"Yes!"
Tai Shici and Chen Zhi were ordered to fight, and another 10,000 people joined Zhang Liao's attacking army.
"Prepare your bow and arrows!"
Zhang Yan saw Yang Zhao's cavalry rushing towards him, and said eagerly: "10,000 people on the left, 10,000 people on the right, go and block Yang Zhao's cavalry, try to counterattack with bows and arrows, don't let the cavalry break through the defense line!" ”
He couldn't imagine that Yang Zhao could still have so many cavalry.
Even if Yuan Shao backed the deep-rooted Yuan clan, he should not be able to take out so many cavalry.
20,000 Yellow Turban soldiers were withdrawn from the frontal battlefield.
Zhang Yan had 60,000 people, and the remaining 40,000 desperately resisted the onslaught of Zhang Liao and Chen to 20,000 people.
All the ditches were filled in by Zhang Liao, the ground was unobstructed, and the speed of the march accelerated, and it was killed under the fortification.
"Archer, shoot!"
Zhang Yan continued to chant.
The archers of the Yellow Turban Army, based on the extremely high fortification, drew their bows and shot at Yang Zhao's Qingzhou soldiers.
In order to guard against Qingzhou's assistance to Yanzhou, Zhang Yan has ordered people to make a large number of arrows in the past few months......
