"Beat the drums!"

Zhang Fei stared at the battle with round eyes, and saw the clusters of armor soldiers everywhere in the forward rushing bravely, and raised his hand and waved: "Hurry up and press up!" Cheer! ”

Surrounded by rumbling drums, Zhang Fei's blood was boiling, staring at all parts of the Wei army.

There is Tian Xin on the northeast flank, and the Beifu soldiers are tired soldiers, but they will definitely be able to guard this place and ensure the safety of their flanks.

Even if Cao Xiu and Xiahou Shangju attacked with 100,000 people, the Beifu soldiers could block it and protect their flanks.

The south is the river beach, although it is conducive to the knights to rush, but the east and west are long and narrow, and there are Tian Yu and Beifu soldiers to guard, how can they hold it and block the momentum of the Wei knights.

Even if you run in with three or five thousand horses, it won't damage the fundamentals.

Flanks and ventrals are safe, and you only need to face the enemy head-on...... In this kind of battle, Zhang Fei is not afraid of people!

At about eleven o'clock in the morning, the right army began to clash with the right flank position of Zhu Shuo's department, and the Wei army's bows and crossbows and slingers were in a high place, projecting from a high position.

Therefore, the Wei infantry surrounding the hills lit too many fireworks, and the northwest wind blew, interfering with the Han army's line of sight and affecting the Han army's crossbowmen.

Sima Yi climbed high and looked, and saw that Zhang Fei's headquarters was covered by green smoke, and he could barely see the swaying and rolling flags, and the dense arrows on both sides were either thrown into the smoke, or a cloud of black and pressed arrows flew from the smoke.

In terms of terrain, wind direction, attack and defense, your side should have an advantage.

Theories are just theories, and what has happened since the Battle of Hanzhong is breaking the so-called theories one after another.

Sima Yi also saw Cao Zhang's department, where more than 3,000 foot cavalry gathered under a battle flag.

The river beach outside Cao Zhang has been occupied by 20,000 cavalry led by Dai Ling and Guo Huai, and the Han scouts have been driven out by the Wei army, which has absolute cavalry superiority.

This battle was unexpected, I thought that the Beifu soldiers would advance lightly and take the initiative to attack the demoralized Zhu Shuo, but Tian Xin did not move, and still rested the physical strength of the soldiers in front of the battle, but Zhang Fei led the first attack and fought with the Wei army.

The battle line can already be divided into three roads: the north road, the middle road, and the south road, and the north road has the Beifu army and the left flank position, and now it is ready to go. If you send troops from here to flank Zhang Fei, you will inevitably be counterattacked by the Beifu soldiers, leaving the hilly position, and on the relatively flat terrain, no one can stop Tian Xin's rapid blow.

So, the vacant site on the North Road ...... It's off-limits.

Zhang Fei in the middle of the offensive is fierce, if he takes the initiative to counterattack, the defenders will be in chaos, and Zhang Fei may break through, and then the whole line will collapse.

The counterattack offensive is blocked, and it is also likely to be broken through by Zhang Fei.

The only breakthrough point for their own side is on the southbound road, where there is a flat river beach, as long as the cavalry breaks through on a large scale, then with the mobility of the cavalry, Zhang Fei will be contained.

If Zhang Fei continues to attack, he will attack Zhang Fei's back; If Zhang Fei sticks to it, then his own middle lane will be able to organize an offensive, and then drive the overall situation.

Therefore, the key point of the battle is on the southbound road.

It is necessary to break through quickly, and the longer the time is delayed, the more dangerous it will become.

It is a fatal key point for the Beifu soldiers to recuperate and join the battle, and Guan Yu is another key point to come around.

If any key factor occurs, then you only have the power to block left and right, and you have no power to take the initiative to break the game.

At that time, the only thing he could do was to hold on and wait for the rescue of Xiahou Shang and Cao Xiu.

Terrain, troops, and equipment determine the tactics, and the right tactics are used in the right place, and then it depends on whether the person who executes the tactics can succeed.

The key factor in determining victory or defeat in a war is always people.

Sima Yi has insight into the overall situation, and now that the retreat is extinct, the only change is in the southbound road, and he quietly waits and sees.

The so-called famous general, who can make the right choice at the right time, is a famous general.

So many preparations before the war collide at this moment, and the role of the famous general is to ensure that the correct tactics can be implemented.

But the famous general, compared with the peerless fighter, is more than a step behind.

For their own side, the only variable to break the game comes from the southbound road.

For the Han army, at any time and in any place, Tian Xin itself is a variable.

No matter how desperate the Han army is, they all have a spare, unconventional card to play.

The Han army has it, but the other side does not, which is a big disadvantage.

Sima Yi thought alone, quietly waiting for the development of the battle situation on the southbound road.

Cao Zhang also had an opinion, and summoned more than 100 military officials of all sizes to stand on the slope and pointed to the Liangzhou County soldiers under Guo Huai and Dai Ling, who were moving and arranging the formation, and said: "The soldiers and soldiers of Tianshui and Wudu have no fighting spirit, and they are bound to be slack off and difficult to fight for a long time. Contact and fighting with the Han army will inevitably make a noise of golden drums, but it is difficult to have casualties. ”

"Therefore, Tian Guorang will be negligent, our army has no obvious battle flag, and the monarchs will follow me to Tianshui and Wudu after the formation......"

Cao Zhang said and waved his hand knife fiercely: "If you suddenly kill, you will be able to break its flank, and then attack from both sides and break its army." ”

He looked around at everyone and said confidently: "In the past, when the Northern Expedition to Wuhuan was made, Tian Guorang was my deputy general, what kind of person this gentleman is, I know it very well." ”

Everyone was deeply inspired and eager to try, Cao Zhangjian laughed, strode down to break through, and rode vigorously on a sturdy war horse with a bright red crane-necked rabbit head.

He raised his hand and stroked the horse's mane, which was a red rabbit BMW.

First he closed his eyes and remembered the scene when his father Cao Cao gave him this horse, and then thought of the pain his father suffered when he died of illness, and then the faces of his wife and a pair of children appeared in front of him.

On the eve of Cao Cao's death, he lost his sight due to illness.

I couldn't see anything, so I sent someone to summon Cao Zhang, who was in Chang'an, and Cao Zhang was half a day late.

The difference of half a day is a lifelong regret.

I often wonder if I had arrived earlier, maybe there wouldn't have been so many things later.

Regret and remorse overlapped, washing the depths of the soul, Cao Zhang carried the Cao character and rode out on horseback, and the large and small military officials led the crowd to follow, and the big military officials led more than 100 people and dozens of horses; There were only a few dozen small military officers, and a dozen horsemen.

Judging from the marching array and formation, this is a typical rabble.

But these people only have the battle flag on Cao Zhang's back in their eyes, and they will follow Cao Zhang to the death.

When Cao Zhang's troops approached the front line, the soldiers of Tianshui County had already begun to fight, the knight battalion lined up to watch the battle, and Jiang Wei calmly observed all the details of the battle, studying the tactics of the Nanyang soldiers under Tian Yu.

Tian Yu circled the car for the array, the strong bow and crossbow in the formation led but did not fire, all of them were approaching and launched, the soldiers of Tianshui County did not dare to show their heads when they approached with a shield, and they did not rush to kill and destroy the car formation, so they continued to shoot arrows.

Bows and arrows cannot break through and destroy Tian Yu's car formation.

Fuyi General Jiang Xu, the governor of Tianshui, and the soldiers of Wudu County, his eyes were full of gloom, looking for fighters to break through.

Tianshui Haoqiang killed Ma Chao's family that year, Ma Chao also retaliated and killed Jiang Xu's family, his mother was Yang Fu's aunt, and she died at the hands of Ma Chao.

The fire of hatred was burning, and Jiang Xu waited quietly, waiting for Ma Chao's troops to join the battle.

Yang Fu rode his horse and stood beside Jiang Xu and said: "Bo Yi, Cao Zhang wants to lead the army to attack Zhang Yide's flank, and Dai Ling wants to set fire to cover the sight of the Han army. ”

Jiang Xu bowed slightly, and looked sideways at Yang Fu: "Who is suitable to accompany him?" ”

The flat land of the river beach is five or six miles wide, and there are enough gaps between the Han army arrays to break through.

There is still a one-mile-wide passage between Tian Yu's car array and Zhang Fei, not that Tian Yu does not want to block it, but that his troops are limited.

It is not that the Han army deliberately left gaps, such gaps must be preserved, and the distance between the phalanxes must be maintained in order to maintain command order and prevent chaos among the formations.

If you want to break through this gap, you will have to suffer blows from both sides, and it is very likely that the entrance will be forcibly blocked by the Han army on both sides, so the person who rushes in will become a lonely boat and will be easily surrounded and killed.

The armies under the command of Tian Yu and Zhang Fei come from different sources, so they must keep enough distance to avoid mixing together.

The distance between each other is one mile wide, which is already very close.

The people in the world who dare to break through the cracks in the array...... Not a few.

But Cao Zhang, can be counted as one.

Regardless of whether Cao Zhang wants to directly intersperse through the gaps in the Han army's array, or take a detour...... Dai Ling had 5,000 cavalry, and he had to put together a cavalry team to cooperate with Cao Zhang.

With Cao Zhang's surname Cao, if he dies in battle, Dai Ling, who does not cooperate, will be unlucky; If you almost make a contribution, you will also be unlucky when you analyze the battle after the war.

Now there is an urgent need for a brave general like Cao Zhang to make a tactical breakthrough, and without Cao Zhang, a Cao Zhang-style figure must be selected to execute.
