Chapter 180 The plan is successful
The Yellow Turban soldiers behind followed and rushed up, without even having time to discover the abnormality of their boss, so they followed him to the underworld.
In just a few breaths, more than a dozen people were killed or injured in the Yellow Turban Pioneer.
What's even more terrifying is that none of Liu Anjun was injured!
However, at this time, the Yellow Turban also discovered something wrong. The soldiers behind suddenly stopped, but were rushed to the ground by the unknown soldiers behind him, and then trampled to death by several people.
This situation continued until the deputy general in the rear found that the situation was wrong and ordered everyone to stop the attack.
It was too dark and the deputy general was not sure what was going on. He could only let several people throw the lit torches to the city gate to check.
Finally seeing what was going on, the deputy general was shocked. Seeing the neatly arranged shields under the city gate and the spear tips emitting cold light behind the shield, the deputy general didn't know how to attack to break through the military formation.
In desperation, he had to run to report the situation to Zhang Liang and wait for Zhang Liang to report it.
"Idiot! Don't we have shields too?" Zhang Liang cursed in anger, "Like them, let the shield soldiers be in front and the spears behind. No matter how much the price they pay, they will be pushed into Linping County tonight!"
"Yes, but we don't have many spears..." the deputy general questioned in a low voice.
The main weapon in the Yellow Turban Army is the standard ring-headed sword snatched from the official army. It is not that the spear was not snatched, but that these untrained Yellow Turban Army are more accustomed to using the easy-to-get-headed sword, so the weapons assigned are mostly ring-headed swords.
As for the spear, Zhang Liang only brought some symbolically to deal with the emergencies.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Liang cursed again: "Baoshi, the city gate is so small that it can accommodate many people to fight. If the people in front die, just take their spears and hand them over to the ones behind!"
"No!" The deputy general took the order and left.
After preparing for a quarter of an hour, the Yellow Turban shield soldiers slowly advanced with wooden escapes, and the spear soldiers followed closely behind.
But because they have not been trained in advance, their formation is extremely loose, and it is even more difficult to keep the formation moving forward.
From time to time, someone will bump into someone else, and the person who is hit will bump into another because of his unstable body. In this way, the shield soldier formation, which is originally a one-shaped shape, is twisted into an S-shaped shape.
This situation did not change until the two armies fought.
In addition, these spear soldiers were basically fighting with spears for the first time, and the commander didn't even give them the chance to sharpen their guns in the face of battle, so they were called to fight in a hurry.
How to accurately make the spear tip pass through the shield and it is difficult for them to do it, and it can be of much use?
Therefore, the Yellow Turban inevitably suffered a great loss in the first wave of confrontation. The shield soldier at the front was almost dead before he even had a round.
Their injuries not only came from the enemy in front, but also from the friendly forces who did not find the right gap in panic in the rear, but inserted the tip of the spear on them.
The spear soldiers behind him looked pierced by themselves and turned around in disbelief. They stared at their shield soldiers until their death. Then they looked at the tip of the spear stained with blood, and their hearts were broken.
He actually killed his companion!
Just in such a daze, a little cold light flashed in front of him, and he was also penetrated by the tip of the spear stabbed from the enemy's large shield.
The deputy general really didn't expect his soldiers to be so unbearable. He didn't know much about this formation, so he only arranged a row of shield soldiers, and behind them were several rows of spear soldiers.
Seeing this, he had to recall the soldiers and make arrangements.
Fortunately, the thief army under the city gate did not seem to plan to leave the city, which also gave them the opportunity to retreat calmly.
However... the deputy general felt something important seemed to have passed through his head, but he couldn't remember what it was when he thought about it.
Then he organized the next wave of attacks, and the deputy general who had worked hard to think finally got his head open.
"Yes! Why didn't they go out of the city? Didn't they say that the thief wanted to break through and we came to kill us?" Thinking of this, the deputy general left the soldiers who were still preparing to attack and hurried to meet Zhang Liang.
"General, general! Are all our soldiers gathered here?"
Seeing this waste, Zhang Liang said this impolitely, and replied impatiently: "So what? I can tell you that the opportunity is rare tonight. If you can't get the city gate, you'll wait tomorrow! What did you just say?"
When Zhang Liang said this, that terrible thought also passed through his mind, and his hair all over his body exploded in an instant.
The deputy general looked at Zhang Liang solemnly and sighed: "Our soldiers are all gathered here, the other three gates..."
Before the deputy general could finish his words, Zhang Liang quickly shouted to the other two deputy generals in the army: "Cheng Xu, Zhao Jin! You two can quickly surround the second gate in the southwest!"
After saying that, Zhang Liang said to the deputy general in front of him: "You are here. If you can't take this gate tonight, come to see you tomorrow! Everyone else, follow me to the north gate!"
After giving the order, Zhang Liang whipped hard on the horse's back and galloped away.
However, at this time, at the North Gate, the five thousand crossbow cavalry trained by Liu An and the one thousand crossbow cavalry brought by Xiahou Lan, a total of 6,000 cavalry were passing through the North Gate in an orderly manner under the leadership of Lu Bu and Xiahou Lan.
It’s not that they don’t want to be fast, but they really have bad vision at night and the city gate is not big. There are so many people going out that they can’t speed up for a while.
Rapid speeding up will only cause stampede.
Liu An originally only extracted two thousand war horses, plus the one thousand brought by Xiahou Lan, which was enough for training.
The reason why there is no extraction at once is because the consumption of war horses is too high, ten times or even more than one soldier.
Putting it in the system can save you countless food and grass.
It was not until the previous hour of the operation that Liu An extracted another three thousand horses and filled all the crossbows.
The system-drawn crossbows brings a bucket of sixty crossbow arrows.
In addition, since Liu An's plan took shape in his mind, he asked the blacksmiths from Linping County to help cast system-style crossbow arrows. Now each crossbow driver has been assigned 70 crossbow arrows, which is enough to be used in a short period of time.
Zhang Liang, who was riding his horse from the east gate to the north gate, calmed down halfway, slowly slowed down his horse speed, and integrated into the progressive army.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Whether it is to avenge your second brother or realize your grand achievements, you must be alive to see it.
If you miss your life in the middle of the journey, what's the point?
That's why Zhang Liang, who was extremely cautious in his life, rushed to the north gate with his troops. He was greeted by countless sounds of breaking through the air, and the sounds of puffing and puffing were endless.
The infantry around Zhang Liang also fell down or screamed in pain in this puffing sound, but in a moment the dense soldiers around him became much thinner.
Fortunately, perhaps because of the late night, they did not continue. With the increasingly dull sound of horse hooves, the shadowy figures in the dark left.
But at this time, the gate of the north gate had also been completely closed.
The figures that had just left were obviously cavalrymen. Under the darkness, Zhang Liang's sight disappeared in his sight for a moment.
He still can't figure out what the other party is going to do. Since there are cavalry, why didn't he break through the siege soon? Why didn't he suppress his own side with the advantage of cavalry?
Zhang Liang felt that he was not smart enough. He was calm and had no choice but to win. After experiencing this incident tonight, Zhang Liang, who wanted to cherish his life, suddenly felt bad.
Back to the East Gate, the battle here has ended.
Zhang Liang learned from the deputy general that a quarter of an hour ago, the bandit army wiped out a wave of soldiers on its own. Before the next round of attack was organized, the bandit army suddenly retreated into the city completely and closed the city gate. The soldiers who went to stop were all killed by spears stabbed out of the cracks in the door.
Liu An was still standing on the top of the city, and the sound of drums and gongs in his ears stopped, and he returned to the quiet that he should have at night, but his heart could not be calm for a long time.
The plan was successful.
He, Liu An, completed the cavalry's breakthrough plan without any effort.
And tomorrow is the beginning of the counterattack!
Chapter completed!
