Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 711 Correspondence of the three parties

  For Niu Fu, what he lost last night was not only food and grass, but also the spirit of the entire army. Originally, Niu Fu came to Hedong just for food and grass, but last night an unnamed fire not only burned the food and grass scavenged all the way from Shaanxi and Tianjin, but also lost the original grain storage...

   What was even more exaggerated was that Niu Fu, an old gentleman, respectfully and reverently worshiped the fortune teller also quietly disappeared in the chaos of last night!

When it was almost dawn, Niu Fu had just finished organizing the camp, made early preserved food with some grain and grass rescued from the raging fire, and settled down a little bit, but received another message that the Huxiong Zhonglang General Fei Qian didn't know When did you lead your troops to Anyi, have lined up outside Anyi City, and are assembling siege equipment...

Of course, the siege equipment was not used to help Niu Fu attack Anyi. On the contrary, although Niu Fu's camp was well built, the walls of the camp were made of thick wooden piles and mud, which was really difficult for ordinary soldiers to attack. Destruction, but in front of the siege equipment, not to mention the catapult, even the ordinary rushing car can't withstand a few hits.

   "How many troops are there?" Niu Fu gritted his teeth and asked. This Fei Qian is too good at timing, it just happened to appear at this node.

   "I tell the general that there are about 3,000 infantry, and they are forming formation with baggage wagons, but I don't see any cavalry..."

   "Jie chariot formation?" Niu Fu repeated, "No cavalry?"

  Will Hun Zhonglang have no cavalry?

   This is obviously impossible, but where did this Feiqian put the cavalry?

   "General...General, how should we respond?" the military officer who reported the military situation asked tentatively.

"...Fight...Beat the drums, gather generals, fight!" Niu Fu understood that if he huddled in the camp and was blocked by Fei Qian, he would not only be passively beaten, but more importantly, his cavalry would not be able to fight. Remove the walls of the camp by yourself, otherwise you will not be able to get out at all, so how can you take advantage of the cavalry's ability to fight and run?

For infantry to fight against cavalry, it is the most normal way to use chariot formations for defense, but the general chariot formation is effective against Hu cavalry, but to fight against your own iron cavalry, hehe, the chariots that have been broken in your own hands all these years If there are not hundreds, there will be dozens, three thousand infantry and chariots, you really think highly of me, General Huxiong Zhonglang!

   No matter where he puts the cavalry, first break through the formation of vehicles in front of him!

Niu Fu gave an order, and the drums in the camp were beating. The Xiliang soldiers temporarily put aside their whispers and worries about the future, grabbed their weapons, put on their helmets and armor, and rushed out of the camp. , Also began to line up to meet the Fijian troops.

  Niu Fu came to the front of the formation and looked at Fei Qian's formation. More than twenty heavy luggage vehicles were divided into two rows, arranged in a staggered and horizontal manner, blocking Niu Fu's sight. Although the shadows of people moved behind the formation of vehicles, the specific situation could not be seen clearly.

   At the back of the car formation stood a simple wooden high platform, and on the high platform stood a large three-color banner, which should be the command post of General Fei Qian, the Huxiong Zhonglang.

For the time being, Niu Fu put aside the troubles of soldiers and rations and so on, concentrated on the upcoming battlefield in front of him, squinted his eyes and glanced at both sides of the Feiqian chariot formation. It is okay to use cavalry to attack a small open space, but it will be hit by the archers on the side of the chariot formation and the bows and arrows of Anyi City...

  The right side of the car array is supported by a forest. Although it is not very dense, it is not easy for the cavalry to quickly pass through it...

  ××××××××××××××××××××

   Fei Qian and Xu Huang stood on the high platform behind the temporary chariot formation, and they were also trying their best to look at the Niu Fu troops who had begun to form in the distance.

  A gust of wind blew the cloaks worn by Fei Qian and Xu Shu fluttering, and the battle flag on the side of the high platform also stretched its body in the wind, with its long tail swaying.

   "Yuan Zhi, which side do you think General Niu will choose to make a breakthrough?" Fei Qian asked.

   Feiqian asked casually, not worrying too much about Niu Fu's choice of direction, but thinking about whether to make a feather fan next time?

  The feather fan seems to have no other purpose other than the first-class decoration effect. It is too hot to hold a fan in summer, and it is too cold to hold it in winter. Could it be that there is an additional effect that I don’t know about?

Xu Shu didn't know what was going on in Fei Qian's head at all, so he replied honestly: "If it's an ordinary general, he would probably choose to break through from the open space under the city of Anyi, but this General Niu has been a warlord for many years after all. , so it should do the opposite, and the possibility of killing from the woods is higher..."

   "However..." Xu Shu smiled slightly, and said, "Actually, he chose the same side to break through... Of course, before that, he will definitely attack us head-on to test our quality..."

The open space on the left side of the chariot formation seems to be enough to withstand the attack from the side of Anyi City, but in fact, on the seemingly flat land, there is a large area covered with horse traps the size of a bowl. There are also barbed caltrops dotted all over the ground. If the Xiliang soldiers chose this side to attack the chariot formation, they would probably die without knowing how to die.

  ××××××××××××××××××××

  Above the city of Anyi, Wang Yi and the county soldiers were nervously watching the changes on both sides of the city.

  The inexplicable fire in the Niufu camp last night also caused Wang Yi to sleep badly all night.

  After receiving the letter that Fei Qian sent people to shoot into the city, although he made some preparations according to Fei Qian's instructions, Wang Yi was not sure whether it would be successful.

  I fully understand how strong the frontal attack power of the Xiliang soldiers is on flat ground, otherwise they wouldn't be huddled in the city and dare not go out to fight in the field.

  Can Feiqian's soldiers withstand the impact of Xiliang cavalry?

  If Fei Qian loses, will Niu Fu become more arrogant, and how will he deal with it?

  Wang Yi's heart was fluctuating. Although he knew that Fei Qian's extra request was a preparation for the back-up, if the car formation in front of him was broken, what would be the use of having more back-ups?

  Wang Yi was lying on the parapet wall, because of the height, he could somewhat see some of the layout behind the Feiqian car formation...

   Isn’t the gap between the Fibonacci formation too big?

   Those soldiers in heavy armor look pretty good, but there are not many of them...

  The ones behind are archers?

   Can such a configuration be resisted?

"What about the arrows? Why are there so few? Go get some more, and bring some more wood and rolling stones!" Wang Yi frowned, retracted his body, and then looked at the equipment piled up on the top of the city. voice urged.

After much deliberation, Wang Yi didn't think how Feiqian's thin double horizontal car formation could resist the powerful impact of the Xiliang iron cavalry, but at this time, he could only give some support from the top of the city. Wang Yi still can't do it if he wants to lead the army out of the city to face the Xiliang cavalry...

   The screen is very reflective, and now the direction of the sunset window is just as the sun is setting, and the light will be reflected on the screen...

   How about something to block the light?

   The tables and windows are fixed and do not move.

so…

   What would be more appropriate to use...
