The last three kingdoms

Chapter 867 The Battle of Xinkou

Zhang Le came to the front line to command the battle in person, and Wudang's flying army rushed up like a tide, and launched an ant attack on the city wall of Xinkou Pass. The densely packed Shu army climbed the simple ladder, and many Shu soldiers simply He didn't even climb the ladder, and threw a flying claw directly at the top of the city, and flew up by pulling the rope.

Originally, the Wudang army's Shu soldiers were the soldiers with the most powerful individual combat ability among the Shu army. They climbed high and climbed like walking on flat ground. But on a par with them, at this moment they have used all their abilities to attack the city, and they are completely comfortable, and the city wall of Xinkou Pass is full of emergencies.

Hu Yanlang broke out in a cold sweat. He never expected that the Shu army's first attack would be so strong, and his carefully prepared defense methods would not have the desired effect. These Shu soldiers moved too fast. , Others climb such a high city wall, they have to take one step at a time, but these Shu soldiers are walking on flat ground, walking like flying, and rushing to the top of the city in three or two steps. Are these people reincarnated as monkeys?

Hu Yanlang hurriedly ordered the Xiongnu soldiers to go up and block the Shu army.Fortunately, the Huns had an advantage in numbers. Even if individual Shu soldiers broke through the city defenses and attacked the top of the city, the Huns could still squeeze them down by relying on crowd tactics.

Zhang Le was a little depressed. In terms of attacking ability, no army could compare to the Wudang Flying Army, but the siege party must be at a disadvantage. Generally, this disadvantage requires a numerical advantage. To make up for it, when the number of people defending the city exceeds the number of people attacking the city, it is generally difficult to fight such a battle.

Fu Qian also knew the strength of the Wudang Flying Army, but he repeatedly insisted that Zhao Zhuo lead the Yang'an Army to fight with Zhang Le in order to make up for the lack of Wudang Flying Army's strength, but Zhang Le was very supportive and wanted to With the strength of a single army, he took down Xinkou Pass, but he ignored the absolute superiority of the Huns in terms of military strength. Although Wudang's flying army was powerful in attack, they were unable to break through the Huns' sea defense line.

No way, Zhang Le can only let Wudang Feijun suspend the attack, re-brew the way of attack, and also take a short rest on the battlefield.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the Wudang Flying Army withdrew, the gate of Xinkou Pass was opened, and a Hun cavalry rushed out like a whirlwind, attacking the Shu army camp.

When the Wudang flying army withdrew, it was not too far away from the city. It was mainly for the convenience of the second attack. After a fierce battle, the Wudang flying army felt a little tired. Of course, this had something to do with stopping and relaxing. If the Shu army continues to launch the offensive in one go, the fighting spirit and fighting spirit of the Wudang Fei army will not be reduced in any way.

Burnout is not a terrible factor, but what is really scary is Zhang Le's underestimation of the enemy. Maybe he didn't realize that the Huns would launch a counterattack, so when Wudang Feijun retreated, Zhang Fei didn't set up a plan at all. The guard troops, and the Wudang Flying Army did not adopt any defensive formation, and the rest at this time was as leisurely as if Ma Fang Nanshan.

The sudden attack by the Huns really caught Zhang Le by surprise. Although Zhang Le had already ordered Wudang's flying army to rally and resist as soon as he saw the change in the situation, the Huns' cavalry came so fast, it was only in a blink of an eye. , has already rushed to the front of the Shu army, and rushed the Wudang Fei army to pieces.

The round of rapid attack just now did put a lot of pressure on Hu Yanlang, and also made Hu Yanlang secretly anxious. If the Shu army has been using such a tough way of attacking the city, the Huns will definitely not be able to defend it. How can they break through? When the Shu army attacked, Hu Yanlang frowned, secretly thinking about a good strategy.

After the Shu army retreated, Hu Yanlang's eyes suddenly brightened. It seemed that the Shu army was determined that the Huns would not dare to go out of the city. After retreating, the formation was very scattered without any sense of defense. When Lang got a chance, he immediately ordered to send a team of cavalry out of the city to fight back, to teach those arrogant Shu people a lesson.

For this attack, Hu Yanlang intended to catch the Shu army by surprise, so all the troops who attacked were the elite forces of the Hun cavalry. As soon as the city gate was opened, these Hun cavalry rushed at the fastest speed like wolves out of their nests. To the Shu army formation, launched an attack frantically.

Although the Wudang Flying Army reacted very quickly, they were infantry after all. No matter how fast the infantry was, they could not be compared with the cavalry.

Zhang Le's face changed drastically. He originally thought that the Huns would be overwhelmed under the strong attack of the Wudang Flying Army, but he didn't expect that the Huns would send cavalry to fight back at this time. Let the Huns find an opportunity to take advantage of.

The Shu army has no formation at all, and it is impossible to organize an effective defense at all. The Wudang Flying Army, known as the master of all victories, looks very embarrassed at this moment.

However, the Wudang Flying Army is Wudang Flying Army after all. Under such an extremely unfavorable environment, it did not completely collapse like other armies. Although it was impossible to organize a defensive formation for the entire army, the surrounded Shu army They all maintained a simple formation back to back as much as possible, struggling to fight hand-to-hand with the Huns cavalry.

The back-to-back formation is the most effective way to deal with the encirclement. If you are deeply encircled by the enemy, you must first keep calm and not panic. Once you panic, you are likely to be surrounded by the enemy. Strong people can't take care of their backs, and back to back can make up for this shortcoming. Anyone only needs to fight the enemy facing him, and he doesn't need to take care of his back at all, so that the enemy can avoid the murderous hands from behind.

The tenacity shown by the Wudang Feijun at this time was beyond the expectations of the Huns. Although they had already surrounded the Shu Army, it was easy to eat up a team of three or five people. If they wanted to eat up a dozen or even dozens The human team is quite exhausting. Wudang Feijun has a strong combat power and fights desperately. will pay the same or even a greater price.

The melee continued, and more and more troops were involved in the fight. Although the Wudang flying army fought to the death and exhausted their last drop of blood, they still could not reverse the unfavorable situation. downwind.
