King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 854 Xu Huang VS Zhang He
"Humph! Formation!" Xu Huang, who was stationed in Yiyang, had already received the news that Zhang Xi's army was dispatched. Xu Huang was no different from Zhang Yun in terms of formation. , just waiting for Zhang Yun's army to appear.

On the horizon, Zhang He's army came at a high speed. The cavalry was first, followed by the archers and infantry. Seeing Xu Huang arrayed there, Zhang He's eyes tightened. Xu Huang's formation used the archers to restrain his own cavalry. The tactic of rushing into the formation, Zhang He used this tactic in the north for several times, but he suffered a loss in the hands of Xu Huang, not to mention that Xu Huang has more soldiers and horses than Zhang He now, and Zhang He can't use his precious cavalry to fight. Exchange the life of the enemy.

"Stop!" Zhang He raised his hand and immediately stopped the army, while the heavy infantry and archers behind him slowly stepped forward.

"Hmph! I'm defeated! You still dare to come!" Seeing that Zhang Yun was already afraid of his own tactics, Xu Huang shouted teasingly.

"Bah!" Zhang Yun immediately cursed: "When have I ever been afraid, thief, don't think you can do anything to me with this formation! Let you see the strength of my Youliao army! Ha!"

With a roar, he immediately got a response from the soldiers around him. Xu Huang didn't talk nonsense. After entanglement for so long, no one on both sides was familiar with the other, but Xu Huang did have his own formation. However, although Xu Huang is good at commanding troops, such a powerful formation has nothing to do with them. This is a restrained formation invented by Sima Yi and Jia Xu for Li Lin's usual fighting method Originally, Jia Xu thought that he would use it in the northwest, but Li Lin was not surrounded by his own troops at all, they were all a bunch of barbarians. In addition, Li Lin's temperament had undergone a huge change. They are all barbarians, and there are many cavalry, unlike when Li Lin was in the Central Plains, the cavalry under his command had a huge advantage, so this kind of formation is simply nonsense in the northwest, but facing this place, it is for Xu Huang to use Thoroughly suppressing Zhang He everywhere, if it wasn't for the cover of the mountains behind Zhang He, Xu Huang would have already hit the back of Xuanyuan Mountain and entered the hinterland of Yingchuan...

"Come in!" Xu Huang waved his hand, and the archers in front slowly stepped forward under the cover of shields. As long as they got closer to Zhang He, they would immediately fire all arrows when they were within the range.

Zhang Xi's eyes tightened and he waved his hand. The heavy infantry immediately stepped forward, and they couldn't help but screamed in heavy armor, holding up their shields. In such cold weather, these infantry were also fighting hard, but just to break the archer in front of them, so they had to Going to do it!

When Xu Huang saw that Zhang He had changed his method, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, but with one look, thousands of spearmen rushed forward, and each spearman put his spear horizontally, hiding in the crowd The side of the soldiers could not be seen from the outside at all, with their waists bent, they quickly approached the archer at the front.

"Drink! Drink! Drink!" The heavy infantry yelled and moved forward step by step. With the wind down, the archer's range had already been reached. Only two seconds after hearing the sound of "whoosh, whoosh!" Feeling the sound of "jingling", it was the arrow that hit the shield and heavy armor of the heavy infantry.

Looking at the archers under Xu Huang's command, Zhang He shook his head, muttered, and said, "You are really good apprentices of my lord!" He said this for nothing else, because the archers on the opposite side followed Li Lin's three-stage shooting. This method, plus projectiles, and a large formation of archers are all Li Lin's patents, but Sima Yi has already learned it easily and improved it, making this formation even more powerful. .

Even if heavy infantry are protected by heavy armor and thick shields, apart from the weight on their bodies, the overall formation cannot be disordered, so they can only keep their heads down and advance slowly step by step, even if the arrows have already flown to the top of their heads On the ground, he couldn't move, and there was no way to move, so after all the arrows were fired from the opposite side, one of the heavy infantry screamed, but it screamed, and he could still walk, so he had to continue walking. If he didn't die, he quickly lay down on the ground and made way for the brothers behind him. The overall situation was the most important. This was Zhang He's death order.

"Go up! Go up!" Zhang He stared at the front closely from behind. As long as the heavy infantry can open a gap in the formation, and he immediately leads the cavalry to follow behind, Xu Huang's formation will be chaotic!As long as there is a mess, you will win!Muttering non-stop in his heart, Zhang He clenched his fists tightly.

Bit by bit, they finally entered, the heavy infantry roared, and were about to sprint to attack, only to see the archers in front of Xu Huang's formation suddenly turned sideways, and sharp spears sprang out from the gaps between everyone , each of them stabbed while spinning, and the heavy infantry didn't raise their heads much in order to avoid the arrows. They couldn't react to the sudden spears. The front row reacted and wanted to retreat, but the rear The person hasn't reacted yet, and he can't retreat at all, so he can only watch the struggling spear stabbing towards him.

As a result, the spear pierced into the corpses of Zhang He's soldiers like an electric drill. The upper body was not needed at all, and the spear retreated. When it pierced a person, the speed of the spear remained undiminished, and it immediately continued to stab, and then fell. One person, the next one, the formation of heavy infantry is very dense, and the spears of Xu Huang's spearmen are more than three meters long. It is not a problem to pierce four or five people at once, but the result is a tragedy. The heavy infantry screamed, but something even more tragic happened. The archers carried their bows and arrows on their backs, quickly pulled out the steel knives at their waists, and rushed forward like tigers and wolves, while the legs of the heavy infantry Having been stabbed by a spear, he couldn't move at all, and could only be watched by these archers who had turned from archers to infantry at his head that was tightly leaking out of the heavy armor...

"Tell them to hold on, hold on! Just go in, go in!" Seeing the situation, Zhang Yun immediately roared crazily. There are not many heavy infantry in the first place, and heavy armor is so expensive. People who can play with such a heavy armor and thick shield are no ordinary people, so Zhang Yun believes that these heavy infantry soldiers under his command, Xu Huang's little tricks can't shake them at all.

"Defense!" Sure enough, after the heavy infantry in the front rows screamed and fell down, the heavy infantry behind reacted and immediately pressed their round shields against the front. The spears had reached their limit and could not go any further. The transformed infantry was no problem for these elite heavy infantry, and someone immediately shouted, "Come in!"

"Drink! Drink! Drink!" The heavy infantry marched forward in formation, and the infantry behind rushed up, and immediately put spears in the gaps in the shield, and then the infantry under Xu Huang's command turned back and immediately pounced on the shield. .

Xu Huang shrank his eyes, and said quietly: "Hmph! It really is the elite under Zhang He's command, let the infantry in front retreat! It's time to fight fiercely!"

"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!" The infantry in front immediately heard the sound of retreating drums, and then someone shouted, and everyone retreated, while the heavy infantry under Zhang He still stepped forward.

Xu Huang raised the big ax in his hand and roared angrily, "Big ax cavalry! Kill me!"

"Kill!" Just look at Xu Huang personally leading the team, and immediately rushed to kill the heavy infantry on the opposite side. Behind him was the three thousand cavalry trained by Xu Huang himself, holding a long-handled axe. Although Xu Huang did not have the ability, But everyone is also a strong person, and the momentum is so fierce.

Seeing the enemy infantry retreating back, Zhang Yun burst out laughing and shouted, "Haha! Good! Brothers, follow me!"

"Kill!" Zhang Yun's subordinates also roared angrily, and the cavalry immediately rushed out to kill.

"Drink!" Xu Huang, who rushed to the heavy infantry, gritted his teeth fiercely, let out a loud drink, and hit the big ax in his hand for a while.

"Bang!" There was a loud noise, and the thick shield of the heavy infantry couldn't bear Xu Huang's hard blow at all. The thick shield was directly blown away, and of course the soldiers behind were not spared either. fly.

"Kill!" Xu Huang screamed, and the cavalry with the big ax behind rushed up. The long-handled ax is simply a nightmare for heavy infantry. It is top-heavy, and as long as it is swung hard, followed by the impact of the horse, there is no need for knights on horseback at all. With too much force, it was enough to knock an ordinary soldier into the air, and the formation of heavy infantry once screamed again and again.

"Hmph!" Xu Huang took the time to raise his head, only to see that Zhang He had mobilized the cavalry to kill him, smiled coldly, and muttered, "Zhang He! Do you think this formation is so simple?"

Without Xu Huang's order, the moment Zhang Xi led the cavalry to launch the middle division, Xu Huang's formation had already changed. The soldiers and horses on the left and right flanks had already started and were moving forward, and Xu Huang led the cavalry to attack. With the big axe cavalry in the middle, the place where the heavy infantry was assigned to the middle did not move, as if waiting for Zhang He's leader to kill...

"Little Xu Huang! Your grandpa is here!" Zhang He roared angrily and rushed towards him.

"Good time!" Xu Huang yelled loudly, and immediately swung the big axe, heading straight for Zhang Yun who kept shouting.

"Dang!" With a crisp sound, Zhang He's long knife hit Xu Huang's big axe, and immediately bounced off.

"Damn it!" Zhang He cursed, and said in his heart, "This Xu Huang has so much strength! He's even stronger than when he was in Hedong!"

In Hedong, it was Zhang He and Gao Lan, led by Li Lin, who defeated Cao Ren's army with only three thousand cavalry battalions led by Zhang Yan, who were not so good at that time. Cao Ren was killed, and Xu Huang was killed. Prisoner, this is Xu Huang's shame, how can Xu Huang not be angry when he sees Zhang He?After following Sima Yi, Xu Huang is no longer the Xu Huang he used to be. By Sima Yi's side, Xu Huang seldom leads soldiers. After training the three thousand cavalrymen, Xu Huang is the rest. Having been studying the art of war and arranging troops, Sima Yi really let Xu Huang understand that the most important thing on the battlefield is not force, but planning...
