I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 92 Zhang Hu: I have the final say here, everyone, follow me!
From a theoretical tactical level, using cavalry to attack an infantry phalanx head-on is tantamount to suicide.

But that's just theory.

The frontline battlefield is changing rapidly.

Suppose here, Sima Yi ordered people to continuously harass the Han army. Within five days, the Han army's formation remained motionless. What situation would Sima Yi face?
Will Zhang Yi's reinforcements defeat Zhang Hu in these five days?

Once Zhang Yi defeated Zhang Hu, the rear of Sima Yi's main force was exposed to the Han army's front.

This is the difference between practice and theory.

In theoretical battles, there is always no limit brought by time.

Sima Zhao ordered the cavalry to retreat.

Sima Zhao was not in a hurry, he had already anticipated this situation.

He is very patient and does not expect to win with just one attack. That is unrealistic.

But what happened next made Sima Zhao frown.

The Wei army was just about to withdraw, but the Han army was not going to let them go.

The Han infantry immediately retreated skillfully, and the crossbowmen waiting behind quickly switched up.

Although some of the infantry in front were injured and the replacement could not be completely completed, it was enough.

At this time, the Wei army fled about 40 meters away, which was still within the range of the crossbowmen.

A large number of crossbow arrows struck out, causing a third damage to Cao Wei's cavalry.

This was something Sima Zhao never expected.

They were already retreating, but after being hit like this, a large number of cavalry fell off their horses.

Sima Zhao roared angrily: "Sichuan dog! Despicable!"

Wei Yan, who was on the podium, saw this scene and couldn't help but said to Li Heng: "Your tactics are indeed miraculous!"

Li Heng said: "It's because our army has strong combat power, otherwise it would be impossible to use it."

It's not that Li Heng is being modest. This kind of tactic would be impossible to accomplish without a powerful army.

Historically, Li Guangbi used this infantry and crossbow coordination tactic to defeat the arrogant Shi Siming in Changshan, also because Shuofang's army itself was very strong.

Sima Zhao was so angry that he almost exploded on the spot.

At this time, the left wing of the Han army was also attacked by the Wei army's cavalry.

It's just that the Han army's left wing is not close to the river, so its defense is different from that of the right wing.

In order to avoid the enemy's oblique impact, the left wing formed a denser circular defense on the flank.

Of course, the same tactics were applied on the left wing as on the right wing, with the crossbowmen firing first and then the infantry coordinating the defense.

As soon as the two groups of cavalry went out, they lost more than 100 cavalry.

Sima Zhao forced himself to calm down.

The sound of war drums echoed across heaven and earth.

He saw the Han army's crossbowmen advancing forward.

He felt that the opportunity had come.

The crossbowmen are defenseless on their own. As long as the cavalry endures a wave of attacks, the crossbowmen will undoubtedly die.

The Wei cavalry that retreated began to reorganize and began to attack again.

The Han army's crossbow arrows once again hit the Wei army cavalry, waiting for the Wei army cavalry to approach.

The scene just now happened again. The Han infantry switched to the front, forming a deep defense to block the Wei army's attack.

Sima Zhao was furious.

Damn, can you still play like this?
As expected, Wei Jun lost dozens of horses and retreated again.

Sima Zhao no longer felt normal this time.

He saw the horror of the Han army's tactics.

Now Sima Zhao has two choices: one is to rectify the retreating cavalry and continue the attack; the other is to stop the attack.

If the attack is stopped, the Han army can reorganize its formation, collect the wounded, and rest again.

In this way, it was obviously difficult for the Wei army to achieve its tactical objectives.

What is the tactical purpose of the Wei army?
Attack quickly, break through the Han army's defenses, and completely annihilate the ten thousand Han army.

Sima Zhao was heartbroken and immediately ordered the retreating cavalry to launch a third attack without giving the Han army a chance to breathe.

But this time the Wei army's momentum had been suppressed, and even the attack became weak, and finally they retreated hastily.This is not only true for Sima Zhao on the left, but also for the cavalry on the right of the Wei army.

After only a few rounds, I couldn't fight anymore.

When the news was sent to Sima Yi, Sima Yi was also confused.

Because according to this tactical description, the cavalry cannot even harass, let alone attack.

The raid also requires getting close to the Han army. As soon as it gets close to the Han army, the Han army's crossbows will attack, and then quickly switch to infantry defense.

After this special attack, it immediately becomes defensive.

Sima Yi looked ahead with a livid face, and immediately gave orders to his left and right wings: rest their troops and wait for the opportunity to move!

What do you mean?
Fight again tomorrow!

They definitely couldn't fight today. Even if Sima Yi wanted to fight today and the cavalry fought hard, the effect would not be good.

He might even be killed.

On the second day after Sima Yi's main attack was blocked by Wei Yan, Zhang Hu's troops met Zhang Yi ten miles to the east.

When Zhang Hu heard that the Han army was coming, he immediately became excited and said, "Bring me my sword!"

Li Yu, the general, advised: "General, the governor asked us to garrison and block the Shu army. He has repeatedly told us not to go out to fight!"

"Now I have the final say here!" Zhang Hu waved his hand and said decisively, "Don't you want this military merit that was given to you in vain?"

Everyone, you look at me and I look at you!

"Pass my order and the whole army will be dispatched!" Zhang Hu stood up suddenly, his eyes flashing, "I will stew this Sichuan dog and eat it today!"

Everyone stood up, and their morale was immediately high: "I am willing to follow the general and kill the Shu dog together!"

Zhang Hu immediately dispatched with his army.

Zhang Yi originally thought that the Wei army would defend, so he was ready for a strong attack.

Unexpectedly, this Wei army not only did not defend, but also took the initiative to attack?

Damn it, is there such a good thing?
After repeatedly making sure that there were no ambush troops around, Zhang Yi reluctantly accepted the death-seeking behavior of this Wei army.

Zhang Hu felt that his life had reached the peak amidst the shouts of Wei Jun. He vowed to surpass his father and become famous in Wei Dynasty.

As soon as the result comes up.

The left wing collapses!
After the left wing collapses, the right wing collapses!
After the right wing collapses, the middle road collapses!
At noon, before Zhang Hu came to his senses, Li Yu shouted loudly: "General Zhang, we still have thousands of soldiers and horses, and we can fight the Shu dogs to the death!"

Dead fight?

Zhang Hu glanced at him and immediately shouted: "I am Zhang Wenyuan's son, let me run first!"

As a result, the undulating Wei army collapsed under the power of the Han army.

Countless people even jumped into the Wei River.

At this time, on the main battlefield, the ten-mile-long Wei army barracks were ringing with thundering war drums.

In the morning, the Wei cavalry attacked again.

But at noon, the messenger came back: "Report! Grand Governor, our army has been repulsed!"

Anger suddenly burned in Sima Yi's heart, but he still refrained from venting it. Instead, he ordered the infantry on the left and right wings to be dispatched to cooperate with the cavalry.

In the afternoon, the Wei army's left and right wings had become a combination of infantry and cavalry.

The tactics are simple and clear, but this time the cavalry no longer charges, but is responsible for harassment.

The infantry began to advance steadily, like a mighty tide.

The two sides spread out their flanking armies for two miles horizontally and entered a state of fighting.

Arrows were flying everywhere in the air, and soldiers kept falling to the ground.

Blood stained the newly green grass.

The screams came one after another.

The Wei army launched crazy attacks against the Han army many times, but was blocked every time.

The flanks of both sides were in a stalemate.

Xin Pi said to Sima Yi: "Great Governor, Guo Huai's fight is also very difficult."

Sima Yi said: "If it doesn't work today, then we will send more troops tomorrow. I don't believe the Shu army can still fight tomorrow!"
