Chapter 166 Border Army (5)

"The formation is then fought, and the art of war is normal." The army that fights without arraying is either a scattered war tactic that transcends the times or a mob.

Zhang Shun was also very smart. After experiencing so many battles, he also had some insights into using troops. He knew very well that if he wanted to fight against the cavalry, he had to wait at least until the infantry had finished arranging the formation before he had the chance to resist the impact of the cavalry.

However, when arraying under the enemy's nose, it was obvious that the other party was not that easy to talk to. What should we do? Only by personally leading the cavalry to expel each other, stopping the other party's harassment, and delaying until Jiang He and Li Jiyu's array was completed, can there be a certain feasibility.

So, Zhang Shun immediately ordered: "Jiang He, Li Jiyu obeyed the order, and lined up the valley with his back and facing outside the valley. Jiang He was on the left, Li Jiyu was on the right, and Li Shi'an was in the front and back two formations, and he could use artillery to support the front and back two formations at any time. I led the cavalry to entangle with the enemy cavalry, and I would like to buy you time to line up. Obey the order!"

Li Jiyu and Jiang He followed the order and quickly expressed their objection. Jiang He lost the leader because he failed to dissuade the "Eight Vajra" and now he doesn't want this to happen again. And Li Jiyu himself has also played the trick of rebellion and knows the importance of the leader. If he loses Zhang Shun, he may be afraid that the rebel army, who is forcibly bonded to by Zhang Shun, would scatter in a hurry.

How could Zhang Shun not know their concerns? But the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. There were so many cavalry officers and soldiers he encountered this time, which was something that the rebels could not predict from beginning to end.

Before, when everyone learned that they were facing the border army, they felt that there were more than a thousand cavalry on the other side, and that everyone gathered their cavalry, but they didn't have to fight, but they were just worried that the losses would be too great.

As a result, the other party actually pursued two thousand elite cavalry this time. If this agent cannot be wiped out in one fell swoop, the rebels would not even be able to escape. For the sake of the present plan, no matter how many officers and soldiers on the opposite side have come to support, only by resisting the charge of the four or five hundred cavalry first and completely eating the surrounded 1,500 cavalrymen can we completely solve the threat faced by the rebels.

Zhang Shun was ruthless and thought: No wonder since ancient times, the founding monarch claimed that "the destiny is mine"! The clay pot is not broken from the well, and the general will inevitably die in front of the formation. If the founding people who raised troops did not have the destiny of heaven, they would probably die in a stinky ditch during the battles.

Now everyone says that I am the true dragon emperor, and I don’t know what kind of nature, the true dragon emperor. If the destiny is in me, I should have all the full tails, and my life should not be eliminated. If the destiny is not in me, today will be my death date!

I will die and end it all. I don’t know how Li Sanniang and Xing will survive in the future! I don’t know how Chen Changye, Xiao Qinhu, Liu Cheng and others survive in the rebel army! I don’t know what the outcome of these two or three thousand soldiers under my command will be!

It’s hateful that there is no one under my command who can take on a great responsibility. Now that I am dead, I can only be dispersed by the fallen monkey! Zhang Shun knew very well that although Liu Cheng had the greatest contribution, he had no foundation and was not close enough with him, so it would be difficult to take on a great responsibility. Although Chen Changchang was close to him and had the support of his sworn brother Xiao Qinhu, he did not have enough prestige and it was difficult to maintain his own power. After thinking about it, no one can entrust his future generations.

Since this is the case, it is just left to fate. Even if I leave a last word, it will be of no use, and it will cause me to lose my morale in vain.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun said nothing. He led the two hundred personal guards, the left Wukong and the right Jidan, all wearing heavy armor, holding weapons and rushed towards the four or five hundred officers and soldiers.

Cavalry battles are not as brainless hedging as many people imagine. Neither side is fool, and knows brainless hedging can only lead to both losses. There is only one life for a person, and no one can bear to live with this life.

So generally, both sides will repeatedly test and find positions before the final decisive victory.

This time, when the four or five hundred cavalry saw Zhang Shun and others rush out, they immediately started moving, occupying a hillside that was conducive to the charge, trying to wait for Zhang Shun and others to come to the door.

Zhang Shun is so cunning, how could he be fooled? Anyway, he rushed out to delay time. Since the other party is unwilling to take on the battle, it would be best for everyone to wait for Li Jiyu, under his command, Jiang He to complete the formation.

When the officers and soldiers on the opposite side saw that Zhang Shun did not launch an attack, they also noticed the opponent's delay, so they sent hundreds of cavalry to harass and mobilize the war. These cavalry were all good at shooting, and they rushed to Zhang Shun's team to shoot, and long-range attacks such as three-eyed guns occurred.

Zhang Shun and Ji Dan are not good at long-range shooting and cannot fight back. However, at least these cavalry under their command are still good at archery, especially the village party brought by Chen Changye. They are all from martial artists with skilled bows and horses, and their archery skills are even more skillful.

So, Zhang Shun also took the cavalry to fight back against the opponent while circled around the other side. Wukong was not good at long-range attacks, but because he hit the magistrate of Mengjin County with a stone last time. So Zhang Shun specially created some iron gills as big as goose eggs for him, and specially trained them for throwing.

Unexpectedly, the effect was pretty good. This guy was already very strong, and the distance between both sides was only ten or twenty steps, which was not particularly far. As Guang Zhang Shun saw with his own eyes, he threw the other party down from his horse and took down three cavalrymen.

The opponent's arrows were not vegetarians. During the entanglement between the two sides, Zhang Shun's cavalry was shot by the opponent and many people were knocked down. Several arrows even hit Zhang Shun. Fortunately, Zhang Shun's "silk bulletproof vest" was both rigid and soft, with excellent quality, and did not cause any damage to him.

Zhang Shun listened to the sound of arrows flying through his ears, and felt the adrenaline rise sharply, his heartbeat accelerated, and a sense of excitement rushed straight to his forehead. He wanted to lead the team immediately and rush forward to kill the other party.

Fortunately, Zhang Shun is still there. He knew clearly that if he really rushed over this time, the remaining three or four hundred people would be seized by the other party’s remaining three or four hundred people to fight with the other party, charge forward, and catch him off guard.

The two sides tangled for a while, and each suffered some losses. However, because Zhang Shun's personal guards were relatively elite and the number of people was more than that of the opponent, the opponent's hundred cavalry were at a disadvantage, and more cavalry were shot down by Zhang Shun's personal guards.

When the officer on the opposite side saw that the hundred people were at a disadvantage, he was not in a hurry to send people to help. Instead, he saw Jiang He under Zhang Shun's command from afar. Li Jiyu was about to finish the formation and felt that he could not wait any longer.

So, he ordered the division of 300 cavalrymen to harass Jiang He and Li Jiyu's troops and form a formation.
