Here in the Lezistan Desert, the Han Dynasty and the Kushan Army marched by day and by night. They could only march during the day when the sun just came out. Otherwise, the current weather would be too hot and not suitable for marching.
Of course, after a while, the temperature here will drop to extremely cold again.
The same was naturally true for Cao Zhang. He stayed up day and night every day and marched like crazy. After two days of marching, Cao Zhang suddenly received a piece of news in the morning.
"What? There are Han troops ahead?" Cao Zhang couldn't help being stunned, "No, didn't my father leave a long time before us? Why are we here now?"
"It may not be Sikong. According to War Eagle's reply, there are only about 20,000 people." Niu Jin quickly replied. Cao Zhang's war eagle training technology belongs to the newer generation, so the information he can collect is more accurate. Of course, it's still the same sentence.
, relying on the war eagle, one cannot tell the difference between the Kushans flying the Han flag and the Cao flag, and wearing equipment similar to that of the Han Dynasty.
"Oh, could someone be left behind?" Cao Zhang said with some confusion.
"Probably there are other orders. After all, you have asked before. This time Duke Cao wants to set up an ambush circle, so he may separate the legions and carry out attacks in waves." Niu Jin thought for a while and explained, while Cao Zhang
Hearing this, he also nodded. He remembered what Ju Lao taught him, and it seemed to be completely different from what Niu Jin said.
"Ah, I remember I hugged the giant man's thigh and came to the conclusion that after discovering the ambush circle, the army should directly attack it." Cao Zhang thought for a while and said.
Well, this is a tactic tailor-made by Han Xin for Cao Zhang. There is no way, let Cao Zhang judge the timing, tactics, etc., maybe there will be problems. It is better to be simple and crude, put on the best weapons and equipment, and inform this time
What will happen to the soldiers and the others? Then the boss takes the lead in charging, withstanding the opponent's ambush and kicking the opponent to pieces.
This can be regarded as a surprise combat method. If it can be kicked and exploded, it will be more effective than calculating fighters and tactics.
"But if the whole army is pressed, what if the other party takes the blame?" Niu Jin became more and more suspicious of where Cao Zhang found the giant man. This giant man must be sick.
"Big Brother said yes, if the number of both sides is the same, even if they are ambushed, as long as they are not in chaos and have high momentum, they will definitely be able to penetrate the other side." Cao Zhang thought for a while and said, "And it is said that after being ambushed, he can still
Keep your momentum high, charge with a roar, and set foot on the opponent's frontline in a short time, and the opponent will be in chaos."
Niu Jin is speechless. This giant guy you are looking for must want to kill you.
"What if there are different numbers of people? What if the other party has more people than you?" Niu Jin rolled his eyes and said, "In this case, didn't the other party teach you what to do?"
"He said yes, generally there will not be more people in an ambush than you. If there are more people than you, it must be part ambush and part backstabbing. At this time, you only need to catch some of them and beat them to death, and then use the momentum of victory to defeat them."
It can blow the other dog's head off with a hammer." Cao Zhang looked up at the sky and said after thinking for a moment.
"..." Niu Jin has now determined that the big guy who taught Cao Zhang must want to kill Cao Zhang. Can anyone do this kind of thing? Maybe, but can anyone do it again and again?
"Young Master, are you sure the other person is the one who defeated Zhuge Kongming?" Niu Jin finally asked after hesitating again and again.
"Of course, this big guy is very reliable. He also taught me many other things. For example, when marching and fighting, whether you receive news from friendly forces or enemy forces, you must ensure that you are in peak condition, and then
You have to deal with it again, so take a rest!" Cao Zhang said loudly, leaving Niu Jin speechless.
Because Cao Zhang followed Han Xin's tailor-made military strategy, Balak and others did not wait for the Han army on time. If they stayed at the same place the next day, they would be easily exposed, so they could only continue marching.
Naturally, Cao Zhang did not discover the opponent's identity at this time, and continued to march in the normal way of maintaining physical strength. So on the night of the second day, and close to the early morning of the third day, he caught up with Barak and others. When the two sides were ten miles away
, the scout looked at the fire and discovered the other side.
After that, both sides naturally came to a standstill. Barak and others were secretly gearing up, while Cao Zhang followed the boss's instructions and stood ready, sending a soldier to ask questions - marching at night, no matter what kind of thing they encounter, they should be the first to go.
Formation, and then sent someone to ask questions.
During this period, bows and crossbows were cocked, and swords and guns were pointed at the enemy. Before the identity was truly determined, they were treated as enemy troops. Once someone attacked the military formation, they were killed directly.
Cao Zhang has no brains. Since he believes in the big guy, he should follow the big guy's advice and send someone to ask him first.
So a scout rode over and made inquiries. Cao Zhang didn't know the secret code of the Han army, so he could only ask random questions. As a top wise man, Gumara had no problem with casual responses. At least it was difficult for ordinary scouts to find faults.
.
"It's confirmed. The scouts said that these people are Sikong's rear legion, and they were also the last legion to attack the ambush circle." Niu Jin felt much relieved after hearing this.
"Oh, let's go over and join them. Whose legion are they?" Cao Zhang asked again.
"They are the subordinates of General Cao Zhen. Because this legion has strong assault ability and can break the defense line at the last moment and give the opponent the final blow, so this legion was postponed. And you also know the shortcomings of the sharp soldiers. They are too fragile, so they are the last one."
A life-and-death battle." Niu Jin asked in quite detail before, and of course Gumara's answer was flawless.
To be precise, unless this guy's answer is challenged by a god like Jia Xu, it will be difficult to tell whether the lie told by this guy is true or false.
"It seems there is no problem. Speaking of which, have you seen my brother? I didn't expect it to be his legion." Cao Zhang nodded, thought for a few times and found no loopholes, so he had no doubts. After all, everything he said was correct.
Makes sense.
"That's not true." Niu Jin turned around and asked, and then said to Cao Zhang.
"It's normal. That guy always gets involved with Sima Zhongda. It's normal that he doesn't show up." Cao Zhang nodded and said, "Let's go, it's over."
Cao Zhang led three thousand mixed shield guards to march ahead, getting closer and closer to Balak. His own intuition had some inexplicable feelings. He looked at the Chinese character flag moving in the wind in the darkness, and the vaguely visible Cao Zhang.
I can't help but feel some other feelings.
"What's the matter, young master?" Niu Jin asked, looking at Cao Zhang who suddenly stopped. At this time, they were less than two miles away from each other. With their eyesight, they could already see the flags and soldiers on the opposite side.
"I don't know." Cao Zhang shook his head and began to recall what Ju Lao taught him, "I remember Ju Lao told me how to deal with this situation."
"Huh?" Niu Jin silently wiped his hands with cold sweat. This giant man must be sick.
Whenever you fight in the dark or in the fog, if you cannot see the opponent clearly, and there is no reliable way to verify it, and you feel like you are on a whim, wait until you are within the range of the bow and arrow, and use elite archers to shoot at the opponent's feet. If the opponent is a friendly force, it must be a shield.
Retreat outwards to be on guard, and someone will ask loudly, but if it is an enemy, a hail of arrows will cover it in an instant.
"Heavy crossbow soldiers, aim the crossbow arrow at the opponent's feet." Cao Zhang carefully ordered the elite guards behind him. These soldiers were all using crossbow machines, but the crossbow arrows were limited and could not be used easily. However, this vague feeling at the moment,
Let Cao Zhang decide to verify it.
"Bang!" Cao Zhang shot more than fifty screaming arrows under Niu Jin's fearful eyes. As the arrows shot out, a dense rain of arrows shot out from the opposite side.
"Retreat, the enemy is on the other side!" Cao Zhang raised his shield and ordered loudly. At this moment, he finally confirmed that the enemy was definitely on the other side.
"What's going on? Why was it suddenly exposed?" Gumala was confused. Didn't she perform well before, and wasn't the other party coming soon?
"I don't know, but the other party suddenly fired arrows at our army, and the soldiers were well prepared and immediately launched a counterattack." Barak replied loudly.
"You idiot from Beigui, you still want to deceive me!" Cao Zhang roared angrily. He could now guarantee that the opponent was definitely an enemy. After the opponent counterattacked, Cao Zhang finally understood why he was looking at that big flag so strangely.
Yes, Yanhan's banner, how should I say, his father will not fight this, only Liu Bei can use this thing.
Even if the Cao family flies the Han flag, it is still the black Han flag. The Yanhan flag flying on the opposite side can only be fought by Hua Xiong and a few people.
"Fire the arrow and retreat!" Cao Zhang raised his big shield and ran faster than a rabbit. Among the three types of mixed shield guards on his side, one was a full-defense shield guard, the one with heavy armor and a large shield.
With such soldiers, he withstood the first wave of arrows, and then Cao Zhang led the shield guards to counterattack with crossbows while quickly retreating, "I'll give you a gift, let go of the arrows!"
A thousand rounds of small crossbows fired at the Kushan soldiers with the sound of cracking bowstrings and the scream of the air being torn apart.
This is a newly developed version by Zhu Jun, taking into account the mid-range and long-range crossbows. Although each person can only carry twenty crossbow bolts, and a team of three people is a small team, it is so lethal that the dual talents without defensive talents can be killed with one shot.
Life, after all, this is a crossbow weighing more than 100 kilograms, not a single-shot heavy crossbow.
"Retreat, retreat, don't be reluctant to fight, just counterattack with crossbows!" Cao Zhang loudly ordered, these are more than 20,000 people in Beigui. They are really desperate. They are probably in trouble this time. "Fire tracer arrows and noise arrows.
Regardless of whether there is anyone or not, let him go first and then retreat!"
"Chase!" Barak didn't see Han Shi's movements clearly at all, and a wave of crossbow bolts came over him. Fortunately, all the guards under his command were infantry, but even if the infantry of the guards were hit by crossbows at this distance,
