The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

Liu Han chose Zhao Yun because Zhao Yun had never been defeated in his life and was one of the few blessed generals.

Jia Xu is right, there must be monsters when things go wrong. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao must have someone to rely on if they dare to look for trouble so openly.

"It can't be that you won a battle two days ago and drank some horse urine and drifted off, right? How many taels?"

Thinking about it, I think it's unlikely. If it were Yuan Shao, maybe... probably... maybe... not all could be saved... but it's impossible for Cao Cao!

Putting aside his thoughts, Liu Han watched Zhao Yun's cavalry make a tentative attack on the coalition forces.

"Array up!"

Cao Cao gave an order, and the front row of sword and shield soldiers of the coalition army moved out of the way. Immediately, iron carts came out of the formation. There were iron thorns in front of the carts, and there were three-foot-high grimace shields on them, with fierce faces and fangs. On the shields were There are many iron thorns three feet high.

In an instant, an iron wall was formed in front of the coalition battle formation.

Zhao Yun's cavalry's stray shots did no harm to them, so he immediately ordered: "Charge!"

Since it can't cause effective damage, try to break through head-on!

Although the Han army's cavalry was small in number, it caused quite a stir. The coalition forces hiding behind the chariots clung tightly to the chariots, preparing to receive the cavalry's impact. There were two spearmen and a company in the middle of each chariot. Pole soldier.

"Fifty steps..."

"Thirty steps..."

"Close!"

"咴儿咴儿"

When the war horse encountered the iron spikes in front of the chariot, it instinctively kicked to avoid being hurt. The cavalry in the front row tried hard to control the war horse.

"Do it!"

Following an order, two long spears suddenly stretched out from the gap between the spikes and a connecting rod with heavy objects tied to them hit the cavalry. The cavalry in the front row of the Han army was immediately severely injured.

"withdraw!"

The cavalry suffered heavy losses and was unable to break into the enemy's battle formation. It was not known whether the enemy had any backup plans. Continuing to attack would only increase casualties. Zhao Yun decisively gave the order to retreat.

"Lord, Yun..."

"It's okay, go down and rest first."

A thousand cavalrymen suffered half casualties, and the price paid for the exploratory attack was a bit high.

"Wen He, it seems that this is the method they rely on. I have to say, it's a bit interesting."

"Lord..."

Jia Xu didn't think of a good way to crack it for a while.

"Withdraw troops."

"Here."

Seeing the defeat of the Han army, the coalition forces cheered, especially Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who burst into laughter. The Han army had always been suppressing them, but today the tide finally turned, and I could express the frustration that had accumulated in my heart for many days. The Han army was repelled by them head-on.

"Hahaha... Meng De, Liu Han is here too?!"

When did Yuan Shao go from Luoyang to Jizhou to before, was he not disgraced by Liu Han? This time he once again regained the pride that belonged to the Fourth Generation and the Three Dukes from Liu Han.

I lost to you before, not because I was too weak, but because you had no martial ethics and took advantage of me to sneak attack when I was weak. Now that I am fully prepared, you are still no match for me!

"Yes!"

Cao Cao also lamented that he had been defeated for days, his army was short of food, and its morale was low. He urgently needed a victory to stabilize the morale of the army. "This victory comes at the right time!"

"Mengde, since the Han army has been defeated, why not us..."

Yuan Shao wanted to take the opportunity to pursue and expand the victory, but Xu You quickly stopped him: "My lord, you can't!"

Xun You also quickly persuaded: "General Yuan, we can't pursue him."

"Ok?"

"Brother Benchu, it is really not appropriate to pursue him now."

"Oh? Why did Meng De say this?"

"Brother Benchu, this victory depends entirely on the car formation, but it is not as fast as the cavalry, and it cannot attack the camp. Liu Han is just a tentative attack this time, and there is not much loss. If I wait for the pursuit Out of touch with the chariot…”

Next, Cao Cao didn't need to say much, Yuan Shao also knew what would happen. With Liu Han's keen insight into fighters, the advantage he had finally established would be gone. "Ming Jin withdraws his troops! We will fight again tomorrow!"

Han army camp.

One person is short-term and two are long-term. Tian Feng, Jia Xu, Liu Ye, Wang Chang and others all gathered together to discuss ways to break the coalition's chariot formation.

"Use car formations to establish a defense in a short period of time, and then use spearmen and special weapons to shoot down the cavalry rushing into the formation and kill them. Once the cavalry loses its speed advantage, it becomes a target."

"Obviously, the coalition forces want to use this to erase our advantage in cavalry."

"The advantages are obvious, but so are the disadvantages. The chariot lacks mobility and can only defend, not attack."

"..."

The counselors were discussing in full swing, and Liu Han walked in.

"Lord."

"Lord."

"Lord."

Liu Han motioned for everyone to sit down, "Is there any way to break the situation?"

"This……"

Everyone looked at each other, and Tian Feng stood up and said: "My lord... I thought that chariots can be used to defeat chariots, but chariots take a few days to make."

Liu Han did not answer, obviously dissatisfied. Using chariots against chariots could indeed restrain the enemy, but the two sides were still in a strategic stalemate and could not break the situation.

"What do other people think?"

"My lord, I thought we could remodel the Thunderbolt chariot. Back then, Mr. Wenhe used siege crossbows and other methods to deal with Yuan Shao's battle formation. This time we can still use this method to deal with his chariot. Moreover, the chariot is inconvenient to move, so it is a live weapon." target."

"good."

"good idea!"

Others followed suit.

Liu Han looked at Jia Xu: "Wen He, do you have a way to break the situation?"

The method of defeating the enemy, the method of defeating the situation, is just one word, but it is a thousand miles different!

"Haha... My lord, last time the coalition attacked the grain road, they must have wanted to take advantage of our grain. My lord deliberately lengthened the grain road to give them a chance to take action. Now they have almost touched the location of the grain warehouse, and the decisive battle is approaching."

The battle involves people, but also logistics.

The most important thing in logistics is food and grass. Once the food and grass are exhausted, the army will collapse without a fight.

Dongjun is now in the hands of the Han army, and the supplies south of the Yellow River are stationed in Wuchao. The reason is simple. It is not far or close to Guandu, which is just right.

"In this case, we can start planning around the Wuchao Granary."

Liu Han set the tone for the strategic decisive battle, and Jia Xu also pointed out the key points of the decisive battle. Everyone began to shift their attention, no longer focusing on the chariot, but looking towards the battlefield towards Wuchao.

"All the grain and grass in Wuchao Granary have been replaced by hay."

"Wuchao still needs to be heavily guarded and cannot be detected by the coalition forces."

"Also, a group of elite troops should be hidden around Wuchao. Once a fire breaks out, they must immediately cooperate with the garrison to surround and kill the enemy."

"Yes, the grain and grass can be transferred in batches. One part can be placed in Yan County, which will not be a problem if Yang Feng and Zhang Xiu are here. The other part can be transferred to Aocang, and the rest can be transported to Daying."

"You can ask Mr. Lu to cooperate and mobilize the people to take action at night."

"The question is...who should be sent to garrison Wuchao?"

"You have to choose a military commander that they can take for granted..."

"Li Yan...how?"

"Li Yan?" (End of chapter)
