Han Dao world

Chapter 905
Zhang Fei thought about it and accepted Huang Yi's suggestion.

He was defeated by Zhang Yun before, knew Zhang Yun's cunning, and didn't want to repeat the same mistakes.

If he is defeated by Zhang Yun again, he will be laughed at by Guan Yu for the rest of his life.

So, Zhang Fei asked Huang Yi again, how to solve the embarrassment of the infantry facing the cavalry attack?If there is no way, the infantry sent to the other side of the river will have to defend too hard.As time goes by, the casualties will be great.

Huang Yi looked at the battlefield for a while, called a few technicians to discuss it, and suggested that Zhang Fei should line up the infantry crossing the Zhangshui, and let the strong crossbowmen board the pontoon bridge to provide long-range assistance for the infantry.

The crossbow has a long range, and with infantry in front of it, the crossbowman can shoot as much as he wants.But for the cavalry, it is impossible to increase the speed to the extreme when facing the river, and the possibility of being hit by the crossbow greatly increases.

Zhang Fei thought it was reasonable, so he followed the plan.

The pawns on the opposite side shrank their camp and lined up against the water.Nearly a hundred crossbowmen boarded the pontoon bridge and carried out precise strikes on the cavalry.

As the crossbow was pulled, more than a dozen crossbow bolts flew away, and seven or eight knights were hit by arrows.Although there was only one person who fell off the horse, and the others were only injured, they were also taken aback and did not dare to move forward rashly.

The impact of the cavalry slowed down, and the infantry rejuvenated and squeezed forward slowly to provide space for more infantry to cross the river.

Zhang Fei was very satisfied. He patted Huang Yi's arm and thanked him repeatedly.

Huang Yi said a few words politely, but felt a little regretful in his heart.

After all, Zhang Fei's subordinates were still not trained enough. The combat effectiveness of the infantry fighting in formation was limited, the hit rate of the crossbowmen was too poor, the control of the landing point was not accurate, and the cooperation between them was also not close enough.If it was his subordinates, there was no way that only one fell from the horse in this burst of shooting, and they rescued them back.

Zhang Fei's level of military training is still not fine enough and needs to be improved.

In the final analysis, the enthusiasm of ordinary soldiers is not enough, they passively obey the command, and do not take the initiative to adjust the tactics according to the actual situation.

No matter how careful the general's deployment is, it is impossible to cover everything. The specific implementation depends on the front-line Dubo and the village chiefs to decide on the fly, so that the combat effectiveness can be brought to the extreme.

This requires a group of well-trained low-level generals.

Not to mention Zhang Fei's subordinates, even the Forbidden Army can't do such a configuration now.The number of students in the lecture hall is far from enough. After graduation, they are at least at the level of Qu Junhou, and there are very few students who can be equipped with graduates of the lecture hall at the level of Dubo and Tuenchang.

In the future, the scale of the martial arts hall will expand, and even the corporal leaders and even the commanders will have to undergo basic training. What kind of situation will it be like?
Who can fight against the world with such elites?

Huang Yi was a little moved.

"Look, Chang Shi." A technician suddenly called out, pointing to the river.

Huang Yi took a look and felt that something was wrong.Looking closer, I found that the river water seemed to be a little shallower, and even the pontoon bridge sank a lot.

"How could it be..." Huang Yi was stunned for a moment, looked up into the distance, and suddenly shouted: "No, Zhang Yun may want to surprise Chen Deng."

Zhang Fei was looking at the excitement of his subordinates who were gradually gaining the upper hand, when he suddenly heard Huang Yi's voice, he was puzzled.He looked back at Huang Yi, and said blankly, "Why did Chang Shi say that?"

Huang Yi's face was very ugly. "The location Chen Deng chose is a gravel beach, and the water level is relatively shallow, right?"

Zhang Fei thought for a while, nodded, and then his expression changed.

Before the war, he had studied the nearby terrain, and knew where the water was deep and where the water was shallow.

The place Chen Deng chose was recommended by him.The water surface there is relatively wide and shallow, and the water flow is relatively slow. A large number of stones from the upper reaches have been deposited, forming a large gravel beach.

The reason why he chose such a terrain was that Chen Deng was not willing to be a suspicious soldier, but also wanted to find opportunities to cross the water.

When they thought of this, Zhang Yun naturally thought of it too.

Now that the water level has dropped suddenly, regardless of whether Chen Deng will take the opportunity to cross the river, it is entirely possible for Zhang Xi to let the cavalry cross the river.

People cannot walk, but horses can walk, and they can also lead people along.

"Notify General Chen immediately, and tell him to be careful." Zhang Fei shouted loudly, burning with anxiety.

He really wanted to take his bodyguard cavalry to reinforce Chen Deng, but he couldn't let go of the opposite battlefield.If Zhang Xi really went to attack Chen Deng, there must be no main force on the opposite side, and it was a good opportunity for him to cross the river.

"Chang Shi, what should I do?"

Huang Yi thought about it carefully, then shook his head. "All of this is speculation, the general should not act rashly, it is better to be more cautious."

Zhang Fei nodded repeatedly.

Zhang Xi is too cunning, who knows if he will not attack Chen Deng, but just feints his shot to lure himself to divide his troops to rescue him.

In order to implement the suspicion, Liu Bei's army was divided into three places, but now it has become the biggest loophole.It takes time to save the appointment, and it may fall into Zhang He's plan.

The best way is to remain unmoved and implement the original plan.Even if they were partially damaged, they had to cross the Zhang River and approach Zhang Xi's camp, forcing him to save himself.

-

Almost at the same time as Huang Yi noticed that the water level had dropped, Fazheng also noticed it.

Summer is full of water, and the sudden drop in water level is really abnormal, and it is hard not to attract people's attention.

Just when he reminded Liu Bei to be careful, Gao Lan's battle flag appeared on the opposite side.

When Liu Bei was still wondering if Zhang Yun was playing tricks, Fazheng already realized that something was wrong.

Zhangshui is a main stream with a huge amount of water. It is by no means a small project to make the water level drop visible to the naked eye in a short period of time.This is not even the amount of work that Zhang Yun and Gao Lan can complete. It may require the cooperation of the city's audit.

Such a lot of trouble is obviously not for bluffing.

Fazheng immediately reminded Liu Bei to hurry up and cross the river, and then set up a defensive position on the opposite side.In order to avoid the impact of the opponent's cavalry, it is best to set up refusal horses in front of the formation and transport a large number of arrows for bows and crossbows.

When the two armies were at war, the consumption of arrows was enormous.If there is no time to supply them, the crossbowmen will become ordinary infantry and can only fight with the ring swords they carry with them.

Liu Bei obeyed Fa Zheng's words and immediately ordered to speed up the transportation, and even took the risk of letting the soldiers cross the river.In order to speed up, the soldiers tied ropes to both ends of a dozen small boats and dragged them back and forth to save the weight of people and transport more supplies.

Seeing that Liu Bei not only did not choose to be cautious, but instead accelerated the speed of crossing the river, Gao Lan on the opposite side did not dare to neglect, and ordered Gao Xiang to lead hundreds of horses to attack.

Without further ado, Liu Bei led his personal guards and rode across the river to cover the formation of infantry.

Chen Dao led more than ten cavalry, first boarded the river bank, and met Gao Xiang.

The two chased and fought in front of the formation.

After a few rounds, Chen Dao seized the opportunity and picked Gao Xiang off his horse with a single spear.

Gao Xiang's personal guards rushed over, some went up to meet Chen Dao, and some dragged Gao Xiang onto the horse and galloped back to the formation.

Gao Lan saw it from a distance, and couldn't help frowning.

He knew that Liu Bei had strong generals under his command, but Guan Yu and Zhao Yun served for the court, and Zhang Fei led the army alone. There should be no other talents around Liu Bei. When did another strong man appear, and he could defeat Gao Xiang within a few rounds.

Gao Lan didn't dare to be careless, so he gave up the cavalry raid and ordered the crossbowmen to step forward to suppress it.

There was a drumbeat, and arrows rained down.

Liu Bei was well aware of the power of the strong crossbowmen in Hebei, so he didn't dare to be careless, so he immediately called Chen Dao back to the formation.

"It is undoubtedly Gao Lan himself." Chen Dao said to Liu Bei once he returned to the battle: "This battle may be a trap, so you must be careful."

Liu Bei nodded with a heavy heart.
