Chapter 253, Truce(1/2)

At this time, the Jizhou cavalry, led by Zhang He, attacked the Tengjia army in a cone shape!

Under the command of Wan Lang, after the Tengjia Army formed a diamond formation, the trebuchet launched the first wave of attacks on Zhang He's cavalry. However, the trebuchet was not a modern artillery after all. Although the stone bombs were powerful and had a long attack range,

The equipment took a long time and the hit rate was also very low. Most of these stone bullets hit the back of Zhang He's cavalry, and few people were injured at all!

But when Zhang He and his cavalry entered the attack range of the crossbowmen, thousands of crossbowmen kept firing at Zhang He's cavalry.

"Boom!" A hail of arrows fell and took away the lives of hundreds of knights, but these casualties were nothing to Zhang He and the others. The cavalry quickly crossed the distance of hundreds of steps!

After Zhang He approached the 50-step range of Wanlang's army, the 4,000 cavalry divided into two groups and outflanked the Tengjia army on the left and right. These cavalry were like two long dragons running around the side of Wanlang's army.

Zhang He planned to take advantage of the mobility of the cavalry and lead his cavalry to attack from the flanks of the Tengjia Army. In general, flanks are weak points in the army. Facing an attack, it is easy for the army to collapse at the first touch. No matter if there is a gap in any military formation, the cavalry will

You can rely on mobility to destroy the enemy's overall defensive posture, break through the enemy's military formation, and then massacre the enemy!

But Zhang He was surprised to find that he and his lieutenant led the cavalry around the military formation. They wanted to attack the Tengjia Army but could not find a weak flank. It seemed that no matter which direction he attacked the military formation, he was facing Tengjia Army directly.

The spear of Army A!

Wan Lang saw the Han cavalry circling in circles and shouted: "The crossbowmen are free to shoot, shoot all the long arrows in their hands for me!"

"Boom!" Since there was no need to fire uniformly, the crossbowmen quickly followed the cavalry and kept shooting the long arrows in their hands at Zhang He and the others!

"Boom, boom, boom!" Zhang He's cavalry and horses were constantly hit by crossbow arrows. Because they were too close to the Tengjia Army, more than 200 of Zhang He's cavalry fell!

"Boom, boom, boom!" Zhang He and the others also used cavalry bows to fight back! However, the power of cavalry bows is weak, and the Wanliang army is an all-armored army. Cavalry bows with poor attack power cannot break through the defense at all, except for a few unlucky ones.

If the bow and arrow hit the face or a place that the armor did not protect, the others would not be hurt at all!

The battlefield was changing rapidly, leaving little time for Zhang He to think. Zhang He found that he could not use tricks or use bows and arrows to destroy the enemy, so he could only attack head-on.

Zhang He ignored this strange military formation and led his men to charge towards the Tengjia Army formation, hoping to rely on the impact of the horses to defeat Wan Lang's military formation!

Zhang He raised his steel gun high and shouted loudly: "Brothers, kill the thieves!"

The cavalry behind Zhang He also shouted: "Kill the thief!"

Then he used his spear to fly away the shield in front of him, letting his horse step on the soldiers of the Tengjia Army! And the cavalry following him also ran into the military formation!

Zhang He's cavalry was like a black cloud with dull thunder, crashing into the Tengjia army's formation, making waves of roars, the neighing of war horses, and the roar of soldiers.

Wan Lang immediately commanded the crossbowmen to shoot wildly at Zhang He's army!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" A dense rain of arrows shot into the galloping cavalry army. Soldiers kept falling from their horses with arrows while traveling at high speed, or their horses were hit by crossbow arrows. They fell down or ran around in pain. Among Zhang He's cavalry,

There were constant instances of people falling on their backs. However, the soldiers did not change their expressions when they saw this situation. They still followed Zhang He and galloped towards the Tengjia Army's formation!

The shield soldiers in the front row of the Tengjia army nervously held on to the shields in their hands, holding back their fear of the ferocious attack of the cavalry. They watched the cavalry rush into their shields. Countless warriors fell back under the impact of the cavalry, but

The comrades behind them tried their best to help them resist the cavalry's charge.

Although Zhang He's cavalry hit like a flood with thunderous momentum, the soldiers of Tengjia Army were against solid rocks. Their military formation was like a dam. No matter how fierce the flood was, they could do nothing against the dam made of huge rocks.

!

But after Zhang He's cavalry was prevented from advancing by the defense line, Wan Lang was overjoyed and pointed in the direction of Zhang He and shouted: "Crossbow archers, shoot them to death!"

Crossbows kept firing at Zhang He and the others. Zhang He's warriors had ceramic armor and could withstand these crossbows as long as they were not too unlucky. However, their horses did not have such ability. Facing such a dense crossbow, every horse was almost beaten.

Hit by dozens of crossbow arrows, they screamed and jumped wildly, trying to escape from this crossbow hell!

And Zhang He shouted loudly: "The army retreats!"

Each warrior quickly turned his horse's head

At this time, on the other side of the battlefield, Zhang He's lieutenant rushed to the other side of Wanlang's military formation to support Zhang He!

"Boom!" The two armies collided, making a huge and dull roar. This sound resounded throughout the battlefield. The soldiers of the Tengjia Army were shocked with a strange smell in their internal organs, and there was blood in their mouths. They could only rely on their comrades behind them.

Only then can you stand on your own feet!

After the deputy general finished charging, he immediately said: "Turn the horse's head around and continue charging later!"

Wan Lang saw this scene and said: "The crossbowmen in the fourth row behind, turn back and shoot the enemy!"

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" This wave of crossbows from the Tengjia Army hit a few unlucky guys who were running away! The two thousand cavalry quickly changed direction, let the horses run again, and then accelerated and continued to attack here!

At this time, Zou Dan led 2,000 Youzhou troops to rush towards Wan Lang's military formation. For a time, Wan Lang was besieged by the Han army from three sides, especially Zhang He and his deputy general. The two cavalry soldiers repeatedly attacked Wan Lang's army like wheels.

Formation!

At this time, both sides on the battlefield were fighting for their lives. The Tengjia Army was victorious and fiercely waved their sabers, and kept killing the Han army. Zhang He and the others also continued to attack the Tengjia Army's formation. The war horses were galloping and roaring, and they fiercely hit those who blocked them.

The military formation in front of you.

But their attack was in vain. No matter how ferocious they were, the Tengjia Army's formation still did not move at all.

Zhang He observed the battlefield and found that even though he had the advantage of cavalry, more soldiers fell on his side. He gritted his teeth and decided to attack again. If he could not break through the Tengjia Army's formation, he planned to retreat!

"Kill!" Zhang He led the cavalry to distance themselves, and then commanded his army to charge forward again! This time, Zhang He used the sharpest spear among himself. He took the lead, waving the steel spear in his hand constantly, and smashed the shield in front of him.

The Tengjia Army defeated them all, and then led their cavalry to go deeper, but a group of soldiers from the Tengjia Army stabbed Zhang He's horses with their spears at the same time!

Zhang He was thrown off his horse in an instant. The armored troops around him tried to surround and kill Zhang He, but a carp stood up and waved his spear repeatedly. The soldiers surrounding him were quickly stabbed to death by him, and Zhang He's personal soldiers also ran over immediately.

Surround Zhang He!

Wan Lang saw Zhang He coming in and said angrily: "Stab them to death with spears!" Dozens of soldiers held shields in their hands, formed a circle and stabbed them at the front with spears!"

Zhang He looked at enemies all around, so he could only lead his own soldiers to kill the soldiers close to his cavalry line, and then lead his own guards to fight out!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The sound of roaring war drums came from not far away. Zhang He found that another group of enemies had appeared. It was obviously the armored troops coming from other directions to support him!

At this time, Zhang He could only shout: "The whole army retreats!"

Liu Yu who was on the city wall also saw this situation, and he immediately said: "Quickly call for gold to withdraw the troops and let them enter Yuyang County from the west!"

"Dang, Dang, Dang!" The voice of Ming Jin withdrawing his troops came from Yuyang City.

When the Han soldiers heard the sound, they retreated like a tide, and then followed Zhang He towards the west gate of Yuyang!

At this time, Xian Yufu directed the soldiers to lower the suspension bridge, open the city gate, and welcome the supporting troops!

Naturally, Wan Lang was unwilling to suffer such a loss and led his soldiers to catch up. However, Xian Yufu had been prepared. When Wan Lang's army entered within a hundred steps of the city wall, Xian Yufu ordered the soldiers to shoot arrows and use bows and arrows to block the pursuit of the Tengjia army.

Bing, Wan Lang had no choice but to retreat after dozens of Tengjia Army soldiers were shot and wounded!

Then both sides retreated, and the battle ended like this. Wan Lang counted the wounded and found that more than 500 of his soldiers died in the battle, and the total number of lightly and seriously wounded was about 500! And there were more than 1,500 enemies left on the battlefield, and the battle loss ratio reached

One to three, this is already a very high casualty for the Tengjia Army!

Wang Yong also led the army over at this time. Seeing that the battle was over, he ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

Wan Lang, who he asked himself, asked: "Do you know the origin of this Han army?"

Wan Lang said helplessly: "They should be the vanguard of the Jizhou Army. Half of the soldiers who attacked me this time were wearing ceramic armor. We only sold this kind of equipment to Zhang Yan on a large scale, and after Zhang Yan's defeat, these

Most of the ceramic armor fell into the hands of the Jizhou Army. Liu Yu’s subordinates do not have this kind of armor! I think Huangfu Song should be arriving soon!"

Wang Yong thought for a while and said: "Since Huangfu Song is about to arrive, let's retreat to the camp. It seems that we can only wait for reinforcements from Qu Shuai!"

He had just watched the battle between Wan Lang and Huangfu Song's men. It could be said that Wan Lang was suppressed and beaten by Huangfu Song's men throughout the battle. If Wan Lang's men were not all armored heavy infantry and held the military formation, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

One of Huangfu Song's subordinates was so powerful. If he came in person, Wang Yong would not have the confidence to defeat Huangfu Song!

At the other end, Zhang He and others also entered Yuyang City! Liu Yu summoned Zhang He and other supporting generals at the governor's mansion!

Liu Yu looked at Zhang He and said strangely: "This general shouldn't be my general from Youzhou, right?"

Zhang He clasped his hands and said: "This official is a lieutenant under General Hussar. His surname is Zhang He and his given name is Junyi. He is ordered by General Hussar to support Mr. Zhou Mu! My general will arrive in Yuyang City in 2-3 days at most.

!”

Liu Yu said happily: "Brother Yizhen's support is so fast, it's really unexpected!"

Then Liu Yusong said in a tone: "Brother Youyi is in Youzhou, so I can feel relieved!"

This period of time was really torturous for him. Now that the first general of the Han Dynasty is coming, he can finally hand over the task of commanding the battle to Huangfu Song! During this period, Liu Yu found that he was really not suitable for commanding an army!

Then Liu Yu continued to ask: "We have been surrounded by the Tengjia Army during this period, and we don't know the situation outside. What is the situation in Youzhou now?"

Zhang He really doesn't know the situation in Youzhou. He has been rushing to Youzhou all the way, and he doesn't know the current situation in Youzhou!

At this time, Zou Dan came out and said: "Banshi City is still in the hands of our Youzhou Army, but it is already in danger. Lei Gong used his thunder method and blasted two holes more than one foot in Banshi City, but Colonel Yan Gang

The captain led his guards to retake the two gaps, and then blocked the two gaps again with boulders of cement. However, under the attack of the Tengjia Army's trebuchets, the two gaps were opened again. Now the entire Banshi City has been

We are in danger. Colonel Shan Jing of Gaoliu and Colonel Guan Jing of Lingqiu each lead 5,000 soldiers to support!"

Compared with other places in Youzhou, Daijun and Shanggu County have 50,000 field troops. Together with Daijun, it is very difficult to conquer these two places due to the dangerous terrain of Shanggu. This is why Huangfu Song is not worried about Daijun's defense line.

Liu Yu frowned and said, "It's Lei Fa again!"

The other generals also looked ugly when they heard Lei Gong. The Tengjia Army had a large number of iron armors and powerful trebuchets. They could understand these things and find ways to solve them.

But the only one is this thunder method. Until now, they still don’t know what it is. The unknown things are more terrifying. The only thing they know about Thunder God’s thunder method now is that this thing seems to be afraid of water. As long as there is water, they will not even look at the city.

Lei Gong used it.

Of course, this may also be their illusion. After all, Lei Gong only uses thunder magic 3-5 times! They can get very little information about thunder magic!

Zou Dan continued: "After Sun Qing of the Tengjia Army conquered Ning County, Guangning and other county towns, he now led an army of 30,000 to storm Juyong Pass. Bogui is now guarding Juyong Pass and withdrew the soldiers outside the pass in advance under his order.

, so now there are more than 10,000 soldiers in Juyongguan, and they are not worried about the Tengjia Army’s attack, and there is no news from Brother Bogui asking for help!”
