Although Zhang Fei has a reckless personality, he is not stupid, he has been using soldiers for more than 40 years, although he cannot integrate the time, place, people and these tactics to become a top commander, but the advantages and disadvantages of each branch of the army, as well as the use of methods are clear.

The 10,000 cavalry under his command were light cavalry, and their strength lay in their mobility, and their use of guerrilla tactics and kite flying tactics were invulnerable against the enemy.

However, if you use light cavalry to attack the enemy's military formation, this is obviously to attack your own shortcomings and attack your own strengths, and it is a taboo for soldiers.

Looking at the military array opposite, Zhang Bao muttered: "The enemy army is defending in a circular formation, there are archers inside, and the range of our cavalry and horse bows is not as good as that of the Wei army, so they can't get close at all." I can't rush and I can't shoot arrows, it's really a bit difficult. ”

One of the cavalry generals muttered: "The Wei army's formation is not easy to fight, but they can't keep this formation all the time, right?" Shall they not eat or drink Lazar? We'll just spend it with them, and wait until he can't maintain his position anymore. ”

Zhang Bao said in a deep voice: "The Wei army will not be unprepared, they must have prepared a day's food, and with their energy, they can maintain the formation for a day." But there are still soldiers and horses in the city, and when the time comes, this army of soldiers and horses will be tired and unable to sustain itself, so can't the city send other soldiers and horses out? ”

"If that's the case, our trebuchets won't be able to move forward."

"Hahaha!" Zhang Fei laughed when he heard this: "Don't worry, what are we?" Hussar! The strength lies in the ability to maneuver, as long as it is used well, why should the Wei army be afraid? ”

Zhang Bao's ability to use troops is no worse than Zhang Fei's, and he already has a way in his heart, so after listening to Zhang Fei's words, he asked: "Then I don't know how my father plans to give full play to the advantages of our army?" ”

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "The Wei army has four gates, if we go to other city gates, this army formation will also have to move, they are slow, how can they outrun us?" As soon as he moves, there will be a flaw in his military formation, and then we will attack them. ”

"Father is wise!" Seeing that Zhang Fei's thoughts coincided with his own, Zhang Bao praised him.

"Boy, you still have to learn!" Zhang Fei said to Zhang Bao, and then ordered: "Let two thousand cavalry escort the trebuchet to the east gate first!" ”

The general was puzzled: "General, why don't we go with the trebuchet?" ”

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "The trebuchet is heavy, take the trebuchet with you, I'm afraid that the speed is not much faster than the Wei army's mobile army formation, and the Wei army's formation is only afraid that there will be no flaws."

Let's send someone to transport the trebuchet over first, there are still soldiers and horses here, if he dares to move, he has to release arrows to force our army back while transporting the formation, so the formation will be chaotic, and it will be in my arms, so the Wei army is only afraid that he will not dare to act rashly.

When the trebuchet passes, let's speed up, the Wei army is in a hurry, and it will definitely speed up, so that there will be a flaw in their formation, and then we can turn around and attack them. ”

"I see!" When the generals heard this, they all nodded their heads in understanding.

Afterwards, 3,000 soldiers escorted the trebuchet and the stones to the east gate.

A thousand of them dismounted from their horses, and the cavalry temporarily served as infantry, pushing trebuchets and carrying bamboo baskets with stones on their backs. Since these soldiers were responsible for escorting trebuchets and stones, they had little combat effectiveness, so Zhang Fei sent 2,000 cavalry to protect them.

"General, the Shu army has moved!"

"They have divided their forces and taken the trebuchets to the east gate."

"Are you going to attack from the east gate?"

In the circle array under the city, the Wei army quickly sensed the Han army's move.

"It is said that Zhang Fei is brave and unstrategic, and the rumors are not credible." Niu Jin's ability is not bad, and when he saw the actions of the Han army, he couldn't help frowning.

The first general said to Niu Jin: "General, the Shu army has gone to the east gate, let's hurry over!" ”

Niu Jin was embarrassed: "Zhang Fei is a ghost, the main force has not passed, our formation is a temporary formation, there has been no drill, if Zhang Fei moves, he will definitely lead his troops to intercept, our army will move the formation while releasing arrows, and the formation is bound to be chaotic." ”

The general persuaded: "Try it, if you let the Shu army move the trebuchet to the east gate, it will be troublesome." ”

Niu Jin nodded and ordered: "Okay, pass the order, and the soldiers and horses will slowly advance for me!" Don't mess up. ”

"No!"

The generals gave orders and ordered the soldiers to maintain their positions and advance slowly.

As soon as the Wei army moved, the Han army immediately noticed it, and Zhang Bao said to Zhang Fei: "Father, the Wei army has moved." ”

"Lao Tzu is not blind again!" Zhang Fei waved his hand and immediately ordered: "Let me surround the Wei army in a circle, but don't enter the shooting range of the Wei army!" ”

"No!" With Zhang Fei's order, the Han cavalry suddenly moved together, and quickly surrounded the Wei army's formation, maintaining a distance of one hundred and twenty steps, constantly turning in circles, and galloping on horses.

This is the basic course of cavalry, this combat method, often used to deal with infantry, the cavalry around the infantry, spinning around, the infantry formation inside will naturally be chaotic.

The cavalry of the Han army surrounded the Wei army and kept circling in circles, and the Wei army inside couldn't help but panic in their hearts, some soldiers continued to advance, and some stood in place holding shields and did not dare to act. As soon as this walk stopped, it led to some flaws in the formation.

Seeing this, Niu Jin ordered: "Don't panic, stop me and release arrows to force the Shu army back!" ”

With Niu Jin's order, the Wei army quickly stopped, and the archers in the center bent their bows and shot at the Han army on the periphery. It's just that the Han army is outside the shooting range, and the bows and arrows of the Wei army can't shoot the Han army at all.

Niu Jin couldn't help but be furious when he saw that he couldn't shoot the Han army, so he could only order to continue advancing: "Damn, let me continue to advance!" ”

When Zhang Fei saw that the Wei army was advancing again, he waved the command flag and signaled the cavalry to keep the circle and not move rashly.

The Wei army advanced dozens of steps, and since the encirclement of the Han army had not changed, it was able to shoot to the Han army in front of it.

Zhang Fei saw the right time and immediately waved the command flag, allowing the cavalry to spread out and withdraw from the shooting range.

A rain of arrows was again useless.

Zhang Bao looked at the Wei army in the encirclement of the Han army, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, the Wei army's formation has been flawed, and after a few times, the Wei army's formation will be in chaos." ”

This mode of combat is a frontal regimental battle, and the competition is the ability of soldiers to cooperate in combat and the command ability of generals.

The Wei army is actually considered an elite, but this formation has just been formed, and without drills, the soldiers can't be as round as ever, the order is forbidden, advance for a while, stop shooting for a while, and in the pulling, the Wei army's team is not very neat.

This is like military training to walk the phalanx, without drills, it will not be able to cooperate with each other, a while to go, a while to stop, originally the phalanx was neat and tidy at the beginning, but the number of times, this phalanx will definitely deviate and become untidy.

If the team is not neat, there will be gaps, and this gap is a flaw.
