Zhang Liao, who has 102 commanders, plus Guo Jia, who has 101 intelligence, can win against Han Xin, who has 103 commanders.
But Han Xin, who has been promoted to Commander 105, has become infinitely more perfect in commanding the army, and his control of timing and fighter planes has reached a terrifying level.
Therefore, even when Zhang Liao had the advantage in all aspects, Han Xin could still be the last to arrive and turn passivity into initiative.
In short, even if Zhang Liao had 40,000 cavalry, it would be difficult to defeat Han Xin's 80,000 army.
"General, Han Xin's shield formation is simply a turtle shell, and Han Xin seems to have no foresight yet. No matter how the two generals Xu Huang and Yu Jin change their positions, whether they are shooting horizontally or upward, he can always respond to the shield formation in advance.
Make the best adjustments."
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Zhang Liao's face suddenly became as heavy as iron. Naturally, he had witnessed all this with his own eyes. So far, the Qin army had fired no less than 200,000 arrows. However, under Han Xin's constant adjustments, he shot and killed
I am afraid that the number of Korean troops is less than 500.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Liao said calmly: "Instruct Xu Huang and Yu Jin to change their positions and continue to shoot arrows until all the arrows are seen."
"promise."
Zhang Liao naturally knew that it would be useless to continue firing arrows, but he did not know how to break the formation. If he broke through the formation easily, he might be tricked. If he wanted to forcefully break the formation, he would have to consume the opponent's physical energy first.
Zhang Liao has already observed that although this formation is not the Longmen formation, it also has a restraining effect on the cavalry. A forced attack may hurt both sides. Only by first consuming the opponent's physical strength and then attacking when it is reduced to fatigue can the casualties be reduced to
lowest.
On the battlefield, the fierce battle continued, but Guo Jia, who was staring at the battlefield, frowned and said: "Our army has no way to break the formation for the time being, and the Korean army has no way to get rid of our army, but if it continues like this, it will be beneficial.
Our army is not good for Han Xin."
Zhang Liao was stunned when he heard this, and then frowned and asked: "What the military advisor means is that Han Xin is deliberately delaying time? Is he waiting for reinforcements?"
"It is possible."
"But where did he get the reinforcements? It's useless even if the infantry comes. As for the cavalry, the Korean cavalry is here. Yuan Shao is also being watched by our people."
A look of doubt flashed across Guo Jia's eyes, and after a moment of reflection he said, "I don't know. Anyway, let's resolve the war to avoid a long night with too many dreams."
"clear."
On the plain battlefield, the Qin army's cavalry continued to surround the Han army and fired arrows. They also returned twice to replenish their arrows midway. The total number of arrows fired was even as many as 500,000. However, Han Xin was calm and orderly.
Under his command, the Korean army only suffered more than a thousand casualties.
"Woooo..."
The withdrawal horn sounded, and the Qin army's cavalry immediately retreated. Seeing this, all the Korean generals cheered, but Han Xin was the only one with a solemn look on his face.
"My lord, why are you unhappy after the Qin army withdrew?" Zhang He asked doubtfully.
Han Xin said solemnly: "The Qin army is not retreating, but is about to launch a general offensive."
"What?"
All the generals looked shocked. They saw that the Qin army had not dared to break into the formation. They thought that the eight-door broken army formation had frightened the Qin army, but they did not arrive first and finally had to fight hard.
"Be prepared to fight tooth and nail. If you get through it, the sky will be brighter. If you don't get through it, your entire army will be wiped out." Han Xin said solemnly.
Zhang He and other generals immediately looked stern when they heard this. This was the first time they saw Han Xin showing such a solemn expression.
Han Xin originally thought that even if there was no way to break the formation, Zhang Liao would try to break the formation first, but he didn't expect that he would be so cautious and prepare to break the formation violently without even trying. This also put Han Xin's plan to take the lead first.
Running water.
Han Xin knew that even if he relied on a large defense, it might be possible to remain undefeated, but it would be extremely difficult to defeat the Qin army. As long as the Han army did not retreat to the city for one day, or could not defeat the Qin army, the crisis of the entire army would be annihilated.
Still exist.
"I hope that trick will work."
Han Xin thought secretly, but then he shouted and ordered: "Clear the arrows quickly and prepare for a decisive battle."
"promise."
The Qin army fired 500,000 arrows into the Han army's formation. Although it did not cause many casualties to Han Xin, so many arrows remained in the formation, which would inevitably slow down the formation's operation speed.
Therefore, before the decisive battle, Han Xin must of course clear out these arrows, and these arrows can also be used to attack the Qin army.
Soon, 40,000 Qin army cavalry regrouped. Zhang Liao looked at the formation in the distance that had become somewhat distorted, and said with a smile: "After being shot by our army's powerful crossbows for two hours, the Korean army in the formation must be mentally and physically exhausted at this time."
Tired, this is the perfect opportunity to break through this formation in one fell swoop."
A scout suddenly came to report: "General, the Korean army is clearing arrows."
"We can't let Han Xin finish cleaning up, pass on the order, and attack with the whole army."
"kill……"
Following Zhang Liao's order, 40,000 Qin cavalry roared and rushed out. The momentum was so earth-shattering that it seemed like they could smash a mountain into pieces.
The Korean soldiers in the formation turned pale with fright when they saw this scene. They had followed Han Xin in his campaigns in the north and south, and had seen many big scenes, but this was the first time they saw so many cavalry charging together.
Soon, Qin Qi finally entered the range of the Korean army's crossbows, and Han Xin decisively ordered: "Fire the arrow, shoot in three steps."
The Korean army has been suppressed by the Qin army's powerful crossbows, but the Korean army's crossbowmen have not fired their arrows so far due to range issues. The soldiers are naturally suffocating in their hearts. Now that the Qin cavalry has finally entered their shooting range, they are naturally suppressed.
He let go of his arms and legs and started shooting.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
In an instant, the Korean army fired thousands of arrows, and the dense rain of arrows was like raindrops, and they all enveloped Qin Qi, but the Qin army did not even try to avoid it.
At the forefront of the army, Zhang Liao held up his blue sky hook sickle and shouted: "The army's momentum is broken. If we advance, we will never retreat."
"To break the momentum of an army, advance but never retreat."
"Breaking the military……"
After a lapse of four or five years, the cavalry in Pojunying, which was formed by Zhang Liao, finally returned to Zhang Liao's hands after being laden with numerous honors.
Although the heavy cavalry force in the Qin Army does not include Pojunying, Pojunying is still the most powerful force in the Qin Army, and has been expanded to a total of five thousand troops.
The five thousand heavy cavalrymen who were armed to the teeth showed no signs of timidity in the face of this rain of arrows, as if they had already become accustomed to it.
The endless rain of arrows fell, making a clanging sound after hitting the heavy armor of Pojun's heavy cavalry, but could not break the heavy armor. Instead, it was directly bounced to the side, while Pojun camp continued to charge despite the rain of arrows.
"To break the momentum of an army, advance but never retreat."
"Kill..." Zhang Liao roared.
