Chapter 889: Confrontation
The gates opened, and the army slowly marched out.
Ka Shuli didn't understand at first, but later knew that Zhang Yu and they were going to go out of the city to fight, and they were immediately very happy.
If Zhang Yu and the others were cowering in the city, unless he mobilized an army of 300,000, he would not have the confidence to defeat them at all, but now it was different, Zhang Yu and they actually took the initiative to go out of the city.
In the wild, Kashuri believes, completely crushes them.
"Haha, the Han army is completely looking for death, we can take this city in one day." Kashuri said excitedly waving his sword.
Several generals around them also had smug expressions, and they couldn't help but be happy when it went so smoothly.
"Throw away the ladders, we don't need these things." Kashuri said.
The Huns also did not like to use ladders, and they did not like to siege cities.
Now they come out to fight in the field, which is exactly what they want most.
"Hehe, it's still an iron shell, but outside the city, even if it's an iron coffin, it's going to break him." Kashuri said.
Although it was not the heavy infantry that defended the city, they were well-equipped and definitely strong in defense.
But Kashuri didn't care, outside the city, he was confident that there were many ways to destroy these Han troops.
The Huns didn't wear any armor, and what they were best at attacking was to fight, and if they couldn't beat them, they would circle around you, looking for an opportunity to attack, maybe flying a kite with a bow and arrow, not letting you approach, and slowly consuming you.
Of course, against ordinary armies, their warriors rushed up to kill, stunned the enemy with a momentum, and scattered the enemy's formation with cavalry.
The Huns naturally had their pride.
The tactics of the Huns are the tactics of the wolves, when you are strong, look around, look for opportunities, and when you have no backhand power, they will pounce on you in a group and tear you apart.
Zhang Yu led the army out of the city gate, their speed was very slow, and the pace was very neat.
Tens of thousands of people are one at this time.
This neat pace naturally gives people a kind of pressure.
The enemy listened to the shock, and his own people listened to the cheer.
The Xiongnu have not moved, they are not in a hurry when they get out of the city, Kashuli is afraid of attacking too soon and scaring the Han army back, and then it will be difficult for them to do it.
"Line up." Zhang Yu shouted, and his own soldiers waved the order flag.
In fact, Zhang Yu and the others were already sorting out the formation during the movement, and when they arrived on the battlefield, a little tidying up was a complete formation.
The front is semi-elliptical, with several layers, and the layers are heavy shields.
Then there were the pikemen, and then a large number of archers.
These archers also carry knives, and they are not archers without melee ability, but archers with very strong melee ability.
Zhang Yu requires archers to have the ability of ordinary infantry, throw away bows and arrows, and when they draw their swords, they can fight as infantry.
Then there are layers of phalanxes in the back, and there are gaps in the queue, so you can change the formation calmly.
This is a huge iron box, and it is not so easy for the Huns to open it.
And the back was naturally the 20,000 cavalry led by Lu Bu.
20,000 cavalry, although well-armed and equipped, is definitely not the opponent of 100,000 Huns, even if it is led by Lu Bu.
"Sons, kill the Han army in front of you, and the entire Youzhou will be ours." Kashuri shouted.
"Kill, kill, kill~"
The Xiongnu were boiling, and the Han army in front of them was about the same as the sheep on their steppe.
They are all warriors of the steppe, and they have the absolute strength to kill them all.
One by one, the Huns showed a bloodthirsty light.
And the 100,000 soldiers and horses in Youzhou were not affected by the enemy's morale, and still stood silently on the battlefield.
Zhang Yu's face was calm, and he had thought carefully about the decisive battle with the grassland.
One can quickly end this war.
Second, it can deter the Huns.
Three, protect other places from too much damage.
There are some other reasons, but these three reasons plus Zhang Yu is sure of victory, and this is enough.
Zhang Yu's formation has a sense of heaviness like a mountain, forged with the armor and heavy shields of the troops.
"Send 20,000 troops to attack head-on, and 10,000 people to attack on the flank." Kashuri ordered.
Although he was confident that he would destroy the Han army in front of him, he saw that the Han army was strictly forbidden and that he didn't know how powerful this formation was, so he sent 30,000 people to test it.
20,000 men rushed head-on.
"Spear formation."
The best way to deal with cavalry is to have a shield and a spear.
"Warriors, kill."
"Exterminate the flock."
The Hun army was killed, and their faces could be seen hideous, as if they were demons.
"Bang Bang Bang~"
The Huns were not afraid of death, and directly charged the spear array under Zhang Yubu, and a group of cavalry collided with the shield and spear.
In fact, as long as the Huns start to charge, there is no way to retreat, and the steppe can still detour from the side, but when they get here, they can only move forward.
Forward, forward, even if it's a mountain of knives.
Tragically, the cavalry in front crashed into the shield and was filled with spears.
The shield array composed of thousands of people fell and was knocked down by the Huns.
The soldier struggled to hold the shield, but the impact was too great.
The pikemen stabbed the cavalry with their spears, and it took several people to stop the horses.
"Shoot the arrows."
There are a lot of archers in the formation, the distance was too far before, Zhang Yu did not order the attack, and now the short-handed soldiers are in close contact, which is a good time for the archers to attack.
The archers drew their bows full, and they were very experienced archers who could already judge the approximate distance.
The arrows burst through the air, with a sense of anger.
The arrows of hatred pierced into the ranks of the enemy, bringing down one enemy after another.
The battlefield was so bloody, many people died at once, and blood was splashed.
However, Zhang Yu's eyes were silent, these sacrifices were the helplessness of the times, and Zhang Yu still calmly ordered, as if the dead people had nothing to do with him.
It's not that Zhang Yu is indifferent, but that the battlefield is ruthless.
"Pikeman, step forward."
Zhang Yu ordered, and a long group of spearmen in the rear naturally stepped forward and stabbed at the enemy.
After the Huns' shield array was forced to stop, their combat power dropped sharply, and there was no impact force, so it was not so easy to break through this formation.
The pikemen stepped forward and coldly stabbed the horses or the enemies on the horses with the spears in their hands.
They trampled on the corpses of their companions, perhaps blood.
On the side, the Huns rushed over and were also blocked by the shield array.
Zhang Yu's army was like a huge hedgehog, stinging the Huns.
Ka Shuli looked at the battlefield calmly, and he expected that the first tentative attack would have such a result, after all, this Youzhou was not an ordinary army.
"Pull back."
Without the impact force, the formation of the Han army is complete, and it is too much to suffer if it continues to fight.
After a trial, Ka Shuli also knew that the enemy's formation was not simple, and it could not be easily broken.
"Let me slowly knock you apart layer by layer, and today I will step on your corpse to tell the world that the Huns are invincible." Kashuri said, licking his lips.
