Chapter 447: The Use of the Formation

Liu Chan said, turned his head to look at Zhang Fei and said, "Third uncle, bother you to go and talk to Xiahou about the old days?" ”

"Really, wouldn't it be over if you just kill it, but you have to use these strategies." Zhang Fei shook his head and said reluctantly.

Liu Chan said with a smile: "If you like to kill so much, I will fight with him directly, but if I capture Xiahou, I will order his head to be cut off." ”

"I'll go, can't I go!" Zhang Fei waved his hand again and again, urging the horse out of the military formation and coming to the front of the two armies.

"Zhang Fei!" Looking at Zhang Fei, who was urging the horse out, Xia Hou said that he immediately gritted his teeth.

Zhang Fei's wife Xiahou is Xiahou Yuan's niece and adopted daughter, Xiahou once went out to collect firewood, which was obtained by Zhang Fei, and the two have been married since then. And Xiahou said that he was the third son of Xiahou Yuan, and according to his seniority, Zhang Fei was still Xiahou's brother-in-law.

Zhang Fei looked at Xiahou in front of him and shouted, "Brother Xiahou, come out and talk about it." ”

Xiahou said that he was furious, but he still urged the horse to rush out, looked at Zhang Fei and shouted: "Shut up, who is your virtuous brother!" ”

Zhang Fei stroked his beard and said, "Naturally, it's you, my wife is your sister, you have to recognize this, right?" According to the seniority, you are still my old Zhang De's wife and brother.

Madame, he often tells me about you, when she followed me, you were still in your mother's womb, but unfortunately Madame, he didn't have a chance to see you. ”

Zhang Fei said, and looked Xiahou up and down, with a sound in his mouth, like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.

Xiahou Shang was furious when he heard this, and shouted: "You shameless person, you kidnapped my sister back then, today I have to take revenge, has the formation been laid out?" If it's arranged, it's a quick battle! ”

Xiahou said that he didn't actually recognize Xiahou, because Xiahou was 200 years old when he was obtained by Zhang Fei, and Xiahou said that he was born in 210.

Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "I'm not very old, but my anger is not small, this is not good, my old Zhang has a lot of bad things because of this temper, you have to take it as a warning." ”

Xiahou shouted: "Piff, Hugh is talking nonsense, my formation has been arranged, quickly fight me to the death." ”

"Don't worry, my soldiers and horses are here, can you still run, today's battle is either you die or I die, your sister asked me to bring some words to your mother, if you don't want to listen to it, forget it."

Zhang Fei said, and wanted to urge the horse to return to the formation.

"Wait......" Xiahou said that although he didn't know Xiahou's family, Xiahou's mother often talked about Xiahou's family, and after hearing Zhang Fei's words, she hurriedly called out to Zhang Fei: "Sister, what did he ask you to bring to my mother?" ”

Zhang Fei hurriedly turned around and continued to follow Xiahou to argue: "She said that she is very good now, let her mother and her old man not worry about ......"

What Zhang Fei said to Xiahou said was also a real person, he heard it from Xiahou's mouth, Xiahou said that he had also heard something from her mother, and he had mixed feelings in his heart for a while, but he unconsciously chatted with Zhang Fei.

"Why did this general still talk to Zhang Fei?" Xu Miao was in the rear, seeing this situation, he hurriedly urged the horse out, looked at Xiahou and shouted: "The general is coming back soon, the Han army is delaying time, now the weather is cold, the Han army is cold, waiting for the temperature to warm up, and the decisive battle should be fought quickly." ”

"Hateful!" Xiahou said that he reacted immediately when he heard this, ignored Zhang Fei, and returned to the military formation.

After returning to the military formation, Xia Hou pointed his spear and shouted at the left and right wings: "Shoot me!" ”

With Xiahou's order, the light cavalry on the left and right flanks rode out, bent their bows and arrows on their horses, and shot towards the Han army.

Seven or eight thousand cavalry on each flank ran around the Han army, riding horses and firing arrows.

However, the cavalry of the Wei army was not equipped with stirrups, and in preparation, they were not equipped with bilateral stirrups, so it was difficult to use strength on horses, so the bows and arrows used were not as powerful as foot bows, and it was difficult to shoot through leather armor. Coupled with horseback shooting, there is no accurate head, and it is completely a random shot.

The most practical tactic of light cavalry was originally to fly kites and consume the enemy little by little, but it was somewhat difficult to inflict huge casualties on the enemy in a short period of time.

The Han army was equipped with shields and formed a circle formation, and the defense was very tight, not only that, but the light cavalry phalanx in the circle also launched a counterattack under the cover of the shield soldiers.

They stayed where they were, and although they were on horses, they had stirrups, so they could draw their bows on their horses, and they used them. The light cavalry of the Wei army shot at the Han army, and the Han army was also firing back, and with the two sides firing, the Han army did not suffer many casualties, but the Wei army suffered a lot of losses.

Xu Miao watched as cavalry continued to fall from his horse, and said to Xiahou: "General, the Han army has expected that we will deploy a cone line, so arrange a circular formation defense, just now Zhang Fei deliberately delayed time, I am afraid that it is not waiting for the sun to come out, but the Han army sent troops to outflank our army's rear road, or don't fight, return to Jincheng." ”

"If the Han army really outflanks our army, it will be too late to retreat now, and it will only be attacked by the enemy." Xiahou shook his head and said: "I originally thought that the Han army had many fierce generals, and it should be able to arrange an attack formation, but I didn't expect them to defend, this is my mistake."

But now that I've set up the Cone Formation, it's an indomitable formation, and there is no means of defense, so I have to attack, or I'm sure I'll lose.

In ancient times, Xiang Yu broke the cauldron and sank the boat, Han Xin fought against the water, and today I Xiahou said that there was no way to retreat, and I could only fight to the death with the Han army. Xu Tingshi, you quickly stay away from the battlefield and find a safe place to hide. ”

Xiahou said that, and then ordered to a lieutenant general: "You go and command the light cavalry to shoot the rear army of the Shu army, and I will lead the awl army to charge, and I must defeat the Shu army today." ”

"No!" The lieutenant general took the order and left.

"Brothers, rush me!" After Xiahou finished speaking, he rushed towards the Han army with a spear.

Under the leadership of Xiahou Cheng, the awl-shaped military formation was like a sharp stab at the Han army.

In the center of the circle, Liu Chan saw this and said to Lin Xiao: "Xiahou said that he has attacked, Zhonghu, you go and press the formation!" ”

"No!" Lin Xiao gave up his hand to take the order, urged the horse to pass through the formation, and rushed to the periphery.

Xiahou said that the leader of the army was killed, he was at the forefront of the awl-shaped military formation, and he was the first sharp knife.

If the soldier at the front is a weak scholar, then this formation will not have any effect at all.

"Kill!" Rushing to the front of the Han army, Xiahou shouted loudly, stabbed the spear in his hand, picked up the shield in the hand of the soldier in front of him, and stabbed the soldier to death with a backhand.

Xiahou claimed to have killed three soldiers again, and was about to ride his horse into the formation, disrupting the Han army's formation with the awl army formation, when he suddenly heard a loud shout from inside: "Xiahou said, your opponent is me!" ”
