The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Vol 8 Chapter 166: City Head Twilight Rising Heroes

Zhao Yun penetrated the enemy's second formation, got rid of the enemy's cavalry, and returned to the formation safely.

He got off his horse, let his mounts rest for a while, and looked back at the guards who were rushing into the enemy line with him. When he went out, there were more than ten mounts. There are still seven mounts.

As Zhao Yun dismounted, the guards also dismounted.

Zhao Yun said to them, "Let's rest for a while."

The meaning of this is obvious, what is "let's rest first"? After resting for a while, he had to attack the enemy again.

The remaining seven riders agreed in unison, and no one flinched.

Zhao Yun summoned the officers in the formation and said, "I just rushed to the enemy's formation. The enemy's left formation is weak, and the right formation is strong. The right formation is bound to be the enemy of the Danyang soldiers, so it is strong, and the left formation is bound to be the enemy of the lower Pi soldiers, so I am weak. If you intend to rush to the enemy's left formation again, you will choose fifty fine armors and stand by in the formation, and when I drive away the enemy's left formation, you will send fine armors to attack and destroy them from me!"

The defending army's left formation was directly facing Zhao Yun's main formation. It was obviously the main attack force. Since it was the main attack, it should have been the strongest in combat. However, Zhang Kai put the strongest Danyang soldiers in the position because of two considerations. position on the right.

Zhang Kai's two considerations are "surprise" and "preservation of strength".

The "surprise" is to mislead Zhao Yun, making him think that the defending army's left formation is the strongest, so he makes mistakes when deploying the relative defensive force. Anyone who "preserves strength" knows that the troops who attack the enemy frontally must suffer the most casualties. Therefore, placing the Xiapi soldiers directly opposite Zhao Yun's main formation and taking on the main attack is precisely to reduce the casualties of the Danyang soldiers, and at the same time , there are Xiapi soldiers to attract the main attention of Zhao Yun's troops, and it is also beneficial that the Danyang soldiers can win relatively easily.

Not to mention "preserving strength", but only "surprise", I have to say that Zhang Kai's arrangement is a little tricky. As Zhao Yun commented, although this person has no big plans, he has small tricks.

It's just a pity that he ran into Zhao Yun, and after rushing into the battle, he tried out his painstaking arrangement.

Hearing Zhao Yun's words, one of the officers asked, "Since the enemy's left formation is weak, why didn't the colonel first break the enemy's left formation, but instead want to break the enemy's right formation?"

"It is precisely because the enemy's right formation is strong, so I will break it first. If I break its strength, the weak will be in chaos. This is one of them."

"The second one?"

"Look, please, the enemy's left formation is facing me, and the surrounding area is wide, even if I hit it, it is not easy to cause chaos, while the enemy's right formation is facing the Xiangcheng River, the area for its turnover is narrow, and the size of the area is gathered. Hundreds of soldiers, once they hit them hard, they will be in chaos. This is the other two. Moreover, if the enemy cavalry is close to the enemy's left formation, if they attack the enemy's left formation, when the fine armor comes out, they may be intercepted by the enemy cavalry and attack me. unfavorable."

It is exactly as Zhao Yun said: Although the defenders have a strong right formation and a weak left formation, there are two disadvantages in attacking the left formation, and two advantages in attacking the right formation.

The two disadvantages of attacking the left formation are: firstly, the left formation of the defenders is located in a wide area, and it is easy to make corresponding adjustments when encountering an attack; secondly, the cavalry of the defending army is close to the left formation of the defending army, Zhao Yun et al. Sure, the cavalry can gallop, but the fifty fine armors who attacked later are infantry. Once they are intercepted by the defending cavalry, let alone attack the enemy's left formation, it will be difficult to escape.

The two advantages of attacking the right front are: first, the area where the defenders are located is relatively narrow, and the area is narrow, so it is not easy to make adjustments. Once they are severely hit, the front is Zhao Yunjian's formation, which is difficult to break through, and the rear is a moat. There is no way to retreat, in this case, there will be chaos; secondly, the defending army is strong on the right, and once the right is broken, it will definitely cause panic on the left, and you can take advantage of the situation to attack it.

All the officers suddenly realized, all said: "The captain of the school sees clearly."

The officers went to select the elite warriors and lined up on the left of the formation, waiting for Zhao Yun to attack again and shake the enemy's right formation before rushing out.

At this time, the front troops of the defending army had begun to confront Zhao Yun's main formation, arrows and arrows were aimed at each other, and then the enemy's cavalry attacked the right flank of Zhao Yun's main formation.

More than 200 enemy cavalry charged with great momentum, but Zhao Yun just glanced at it lightly, and then turned his attention to the enemy's right formation again.

This is because: when he was out of the camp, Zhao Yun ordered the people in the camp to push out a lot of trucks loaded with grain, ordnance and other materials, and placed them around the formation. Although the enemy's cavalry began to charge, they still couldn't rush forward at all, and could only harass them with bows and arrows.

Outside the chariot array, the second is the shield array, the second is the spear and the second is the short soldiers, and after the short soldiers are the crossbows and bows.

The formation that Zhao Yun set up was a solid defensive formation.

The five hundred pawns in his original formation were all elites, and now the formation he has set up is solid, at least for a period of time, there is no need to worry about the position being broken. For this reason, as the main general, he does not need to command in the array at present, but can go out to attack the enemy.

Seeing that the enemy's cavalry has arrived, and seeing the enemy's left formation slowly approaching, and then seeing the enemy's right formation, it is not too far from the main formation, Zhao Yun knew: At this moment, he must race against time, otherwise he will wait for the enemy. The left formation and the right formation are all in front of him, forming a siege situation. Even if he wants to break through the enemy formation, it will not be easy.

At the moment, Zhao Yun's advisor left and right guards: "Do you have spare strength, and then attack the enemy from me?"

The remaining seven cavalry responded with a bang: "Where the captain is, it's where I'm waiting!"

Zhao Yun and the seven cavalry then assembled their armor and mounted their horses, carrying spears, carrying crossbows and knives, to the left of the formation.

The fifty elite armors selected by the officers were already sitting on the ground here to prepare for the battle. Seeing Zhao Yun waiting for him, they all stood up and saluted Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun speared the horse, looked around at the elite soldiers and said with a smile: "I will loosen the enemy's position for you first, and you can come later."

He fought back hundreds of enemies with eight cavalry, but what Zhao Yun said was light and easy, not like going to the enemy, but like doing a trivial matter. In front of a strong enemy, he can talk and laugh freely, and all the elite soldiers are infected with his Yingmai spirit, all of them are full of blood, and they all say: "No!"

Zhao Yun and the seven cavalry guards rushed out from the exit that had been opened in advance.

...

Zhang Kai was still in the tower when Zhao Yun rushed out of the formation again.

Zhang Kai sent a thousand people to aid the ferry port first, and then sent several more troops. About a thousand people left the city and joined forces outside the city to attack Zhao Yun's main formation. He dispatched troops twice before and after, and has already sent out a total of about 2,000 guards. *There are more than 3,000 soldiers, and there are only 1,000 left.

Although he wanted to lead the troops to attack and capture Zhao Yun himself, it was impossible for him to take all the remaining soldiers out of the city, so he could only take part from each section of the city wall. in the city.

Seeing that when his own formation was gradually forming an encirclement against Zhao Yun's formation, several horses galloped out from Zhao Yun's main formation. Even if he couldn't see who was in the formation, Zhang Kai could guess that it must be Zhao Yun. Rush again.

He was a little surprised and said: "Zhao Zilong is really a world tiger minister."

Zhang Kai also fought wars. He fought the Yellow Turbans with Tao Qian, and also experienced fierce battles. He knows that manpower is sometimes poor, and no matter how brave a person is, he will not be able to face a hundred or hundreds of times the enemy. He may be fighting continuously and always get tired, but Zhao Yun has repeatedly attacked his own formation, which has to make him even more amazed by the fact that Zhao Yun can run through his two formations.

He was amazed, but it also made him more and more unable to hold back. If he could capture or kill such a tiger general, what a credit!

Zhang Kailing said to the left and right: "I urge all the ministries to transfer troops, and don't delay me going out of the city!"

...

Although the defenders were strong on the right, Zhao Yun and the others were even sharper.

Rushing into the enemy's right formation, Zhao Yun attacked first, and his guards turned left and right to draw. At first, he encountered some resistance. As he got deeper into the formation, the disturbance brought to the enemy formation became bigger and bigger, and his opponent fell down. , is invincible, like entering no one.

It took less time than the last time to rush into this formation, and Zhao Yun and others have already penetrated it again.

Running through to the end of the formation, Zhao Yun folded his horse and brought his own guards back to charge.

This impact was the fourth time Zhao Yun had impacted this formation.

Almost all of the Danyang soldiers in this formation had already met him, and most of the warriors and brave generals in the formation who dared to stop Zhao Yun and others had already been beheaded. Since the brave man died, the rest of the self were no match for Zhao Yun and others. Even, many Danyang soldiers saw Zhao Yun and others galloping towards them from a distance, and without waiting for them to approach, they took the initiative to flee and give way to Zhao Yun and others.

In a moment, Zhao Yun penetrated the formation again.

One entry and one return, two shocks, finally shaken Danyang Soldier's position.

The fifty elite armors waiting in Zhao Yun's formation saw him and rushed out at the right time.

Zhao Yun and his guards also turned their horses and rushed into the enemy's line again.

Zhao Yun and others fought hard at the front, Jingjia and others shouted at the back, rushing to kill the enemy formation, flesh and blood flying, corpses everywhere, under the repeated fierce attack, Danyang soldiers could not form a line, the military orders could not be conveyed, and they collapsed. There is a strong formation of Zhao Yun's troops in front, a moat at the back, and there is no way forward or backward. The Danyang soldiers can only flee in all directions. Zhao Yun did not chase and kill the fleeing enemy, but turned his horse to the right and ordered, "Fight the enemy from me to the left formation!"

...

When Zhao Yun broke the defenders' right formation, Zhang Kai had just assembled his troops and horses before leaving the city gate.

As soon as he came out of the city, Zhang Kai was shocked when he saw that his right formation was broken.

However, he was confident that he had a large number of troops and he had already led his troops out of the city. Although Zhang Kai was startled, he did not panic. While leading his troops to the battlefield, he hurriedly issued an order: "Order the rear formation to move forward and respond to the left formation and the right formation." He ordered again, "Order the cavalry soldiers to attack Zhao Yun's formation quickly, so that they can return to help!"

Right at this moment, he suddenly heard screams from left and right.

Zhang Kai said angrily, "What's it called!"

With his left and right fingers behind him, he said, "Captain, there is a ride here!"

Zhang Kai looked back and saw the smoke billowing in the distance, but it was a cavalry that killed him. After a while, the cavalry was getting closer, and he could clearly see that the banner in front was the "Zhongjun Lieutenant". Zhang Kai's heart sank, and the secret was not good. The second batch of troops that sent out the Zhao Battalion earlier also played the "Zhongjun Lieutenant" flag, and it must be this team that came at this time. The fact that this army can now appear outside the city can only mean one thing: the troops he sent to the ferry have been defeated.

The left and right were shocked: "This is Zhao Yun's horse!"

Another humane said: "As soon as the ride arrives, the foot soldiers will be behind!"

All the left and right said in unison: "Captain, return to the city quickly!"

Zhang Kai didn't hesitate too much, and immediately made a decision: "Send the order, go back to the city!"

The front right formation was broken by Zhao Yun, the cavalry was in chaos, and Zhao Yun's reinforcements arrived at the back, and the front and back were attacked. It was the troops sent by the own army to the ferry that were destroyed, which made the situation worse, and the morale of the army must be in chaos. If you do not return to the city at this time, not only will you be defeated, but the city will also be difficult to protect.

However, it is easy to give orders, but difficult for troops to turn around.

Originally, they were advancing rapidly, but suddenly they were ordered to turn around, and the formation was inevitably chaotic.

Before Zhang Kai could sort out the formation~www.wuxiaspot.com~ that Zhao Yun's cavalry had already arrived.

The cavalry attacked the infantry, and already had the advantage, not to mention that the infantry was still in chaos, and Yan Meng, who led the cavalry back, was even more happy.

Seeing that he could not do anything, Zhang Kai had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​returning to the city. Under the desperate guard of his personal soldiers, he fought a road to the east, turned north, and then west, and fled to Xiapi County. When he was fleeing, how could he still have the arrogance to kill Zhao Yun!

...

Yan Meng led the cavalry to return to the rescue first, Huang Qian and He Yi led the infantry behind, their infantry attacked from the north, Zhao Yun led the soldiers of the formation to attack from the south, attacked twice, and Zhang Kai fled again. The defenders were devastated, with no casualties, and only a few hundred people fled.

Although there are still defenders in the city, there are not many people left. After seeing Zhang Kai's defeat with his own eyes, how can he still have fighting spirit? Descend the city.

When Zhao Yun reorganized his works and led his troops into the city, it was just dusk.

When they arrived in the city, the flag of Zhang Kai was lowered and the flag of Zhao Yun was raised. In the twilight, the four characters "Zhongjun Lieutenant" fluttered in the cold wind. ()
