Chapter 892: The Might of the Trapping Camp
A cavalryman of the Xiliang Army jumped on his horse and shot him, the shield soldiers in front of him were not taken into his eyes, and the speed of the war horse charging was enough to knock these shield soldiers away, even though the shields in the hands of these soldiers were larger than usual.
To the surprise of the cavalry of the Xiliang Army, after the war horse collided with the shield, it was not as powerful as imagined, but the war horse could not withstand the force of the collision, and jumped high with its front hooves, and without waiting for the cavalry on the war horse to respond, two spears came towards him and the war horse respectively.
The cavalry of the Xiliang Army even heard the sound of spears entering the flesh, and the war horse was in pain, as if it were crazy, and it was only a few bumps that shook the cavalry off the war horse.
Such a situation can be seen everywhere on the battlefield, resisting the first round of cavalry charges, the soldiers in the camp did a good job, and the unexpected attack method of the camp made the cavalry of the Xiliang Army suffer a lot of losses, and when the cavalry faced the foot soldiers, it was inevitable that there would be a psychological advantage, and this psychological advantage would evolve into disdain and arrogance.
The soldiers in front of them are constantly defending themselves against the cavalry attack, and the archers in the camp are constantly shooting arrows in their hands, and their task is to give the enemy the maximum shot with their bows and arrows.
Zhang Xiu did not have the initial high confidence, and the strength of the foot soldiers of the state army gave him an urge to turn around and leave, at this time, he had time to carefully look at the trap camp in front of the state army, through the shield soldiers were rushed away by the cavalry, he could see that these foot soldiers were wrapped in armor, and even their faces were not exposed to the outside, so that the arrows shot by the cavalry when charging were difficult to cause damage to the soldiers in the camp, from the battle to the present, Zhang Xiu did not even see a soldier in the camp die.
This result made Zhang Xiu dumbfounded, when can the foot soldiers become so powerful, if the foot soldiers of the Bingzhou Army are all like this, is there still a need for this battle to continue.
"The rest of the cavalry will be killed with General Ben!" Zhang Xiu ordered, he saw the strength of the trapped camp, since he could not break through the Bingzhou army head-on, if the same effect could be achieved from the horse side, it would be the same, even if the Bingzhou army in front of him was powerful, it was just a foot pawn, as long as the cavalry retreated, with two legs to catch up with the war horse, it was simply a fool's dream, this is also when the cavalry was at a disadvantage in the face of the trapped camp, Zhang Xiu still dared to charge, their purpose was to defeat this Bingzhou army, and then burn the grain and grass, You don't have to fight to the death with the state army.
As long as the grain and grass can be ignited, the soldiers of the state army will definitely be difficult to take care of, so there will be a panic.
Zhang Xiu's calculation was very good, but he ignored Ji Ling's ability, and had been planning how to destroy this cavalry, how could Ji Ling not have a little response, what appeared in front of the Xiliang army was a tight formation of pikemen, and behind the pikemen were archers who were waiting for the battle.
"Spread out the charge!" Zhang Xiu shouted.
Cavalry loosens the formation when charging, which can greatly reduce losses.
The rain of arrows poured towards the cavalry, and the cavalry of the Xiliang Army was worthy of the name of elite, after dodging the arrows of the archers, they began to counterattack with arrows on the bow, their riding skills were not weak, and with the help of stirrups, it was like a tiger with wings.
Ji Ling looked at the losses of his pikemen and archers, and was furious, many of these soldiers were not his original subordinates, but they were soldiers of the Bingzhou army, and they died under the rain of arrows when the enemy cavalry charged, which made Ji Ling feel angry, and the strongest of the Bingzhou army was the cavalry, when was it the turn of the enemy's cavalry to be so rampant.
"All the cavalry are ready to go forward with the general." Ji Ling shouted angrily.
There are more than 100 cavalry following the baggage convoy, except for the scouts who are inquiring on the battlefield at this time, the remaining cavalry is less than 100 people, but the one who can take on the scout duty on the battlefield is undoubtedly the most elite cavalry in the army.
Ji Ling held a three-pointed knife and took the lead in the Xiliang army, where he passed, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the nearly 100 cavalry who followed Ji Ling to fight also broke out with strong combat effectiveness.
Zhang Xiu saw Ji Ling, who was raging among the cavalry, snorted coldly, and rode his horse forward, nearly a hundred cavalry of the Bingzhou Army could not completely block the pace of the Xiliang Army's attack, and as long as these cavalry were completely eliminated, the Bingzhou Army would lose its reliance, as for the trapping camp led by Gao Shun, Zhang Xiu automatically ignored it, in the face of the invulnerable army, even if the cavalry of the Xiliang Army was powerful, it was in vain.
As soon as the three-pointed knife flipped over, a cavalryman died on the spot, Ji Ling set his eyes on Zhang Xiu, who was riding a horse to kill, and he felt a sense of danger from Zhang Xiu's body.
However, Ji Ling was the first fierce general under Yuan Shu's account in the past, how could he be afraid because Zhang Xiu led the army to capture Sun Ning, people borrowed the horse's momentum, and the three-pointed knife in Ji Ling's hand slashed towards Zhang Xiu, and the sound of the blade tearing through the air could be faintly heard.
Zhang Xiu burst into a shout, and the spear in his hand stabbed towards the three-pointed knife.
With a "ding" sound, the spear in Zhang Xiu's hand happened to stab the knife surface of the three-pointed knife, the degree of accuracy, even if Ji Ling saw it, he was still a little shocked, he could have such an eye in such a chaotic battlefield, Zhang Xiu's martial arts could definitely be called strong.
Ji Ling swung his knife towards Zhang Xiu's chest, and the speed of changing his moves was extremely fast, which was also Ji Ling's experience in rushing and killing on the battlefield for many years, if he wanted to kill the enemy at the fastest speed, he had to take the lead in the moves, and Fang Cai's knife was blocked by Zhang Xiu, who could gain the upper hand faster at this time, which had a great impact on the next battle.
But seeing the spear in Zhang Xiu's hand, the originally powerful three-pointed knife changed direction.
The force that came through the tip of the spear just now shocked Zhang Xiu, he didn't expect Ji Ling's strength to be so strong, so he didn't plan to fight Ji Ling.
On the battlefield, the cavalry of the Xiliang Army was completely entangled with the Bingzhou Army, and the grain and grass convoy was unattended, and the people in the middle of the convoy were trembling and paying attention to the battlefield, they knew that once the enemy army won, they might be greeted by slaughter.
It seems that they are aware of the power of the trapped camp, and the cavalry of the Xiliang Army no longer chooses to collide head-on with the trapped camp, but sets their sights on the foot soldiers behind the trapped camp, and the cavalry is very fast on the battlefield, and it is easy to bypass the trapped camp.
While gaining absolute defense, what is lost is speed, once the cavalry of the Xiliang Army takes a detour, it is difficult for the camp to catch up.
Just when the two sides were inseparable, billowing dust and smoke appeared on the left and right sides of the convoy.
