Chapter 89 The decisive battle is coming (2)(2/2)
In the last Yanmen Battle, the Han army defeated the elite soldiers of the Shanyu headquarters, which was completed when heavy rainstorms restricted their performance. If the Han army could not defeat the elite soldiers of the Shanyu headquarters, after all, cavalry has a natural advantage in fighting infantry, let alone the elite soldiers of the Shanyu headquarters.
It’s different now. The Han army had an unsolved crossbow formation in the era of cold weapons. Once it showed its power, the troops of the Shanyu headquarters would suffer heavy casualties.
The Huns lined up in formations, nearly 300,000 Huns, and set up dozens of cavalry formations and pressed them up together. How spectacular it was. Zhou Yang was standing tall on the cloud car and saw it very clearly. He saw the Huns' cavalry formations for about ten miles long and advanced at normal horse speed, like surging waves, which could swallow everything in front of him at any time.
The two armies walked opposite each other, but stopped at the same time. A piece of open space was left in the middle for fighting.
It can be imagined that in no time, this open space will be soaked with blood and will be filled with corpses.
After the two armies stopped, they did not launch an attack immediately, but just defended the formation. Zhou Yang saw the Huns clearly in the cloud car, but Zhou Yang had to wait for the Huns to attack, so that the power of the crossbow formation would be maximized.
At this time, the military ministers, Shanyu and the ministers were surprised by Mo Ming. What surprised them was that the formation of the Han army was so weird that they had never seen them who had fought for decades.
"It's amazing! The Han army's formation is amazing!"
"It's strange!"
"I have never seen such a strange formation after fighting for decades!"
The ministers stared at the Han army's formation, frowned tightly, and kept thinking, but looked confused.
Under normal circumstances, the Han army's formation should put the chariots in front, form a chariot formation, and let the Huns attack. The Han army can use the chariot formation to defend, which is common sense for military strategists. As long as people who have been on the battlefield know the importance of defending the front.
On the contrary, Zhou Yang did not guard the front at all. There was not a chariot in the front. Does Zhou Yang think that just a few rows of halberd hands could guard the front? This is too underestimating the attack power of the Huns.
If there are chariots to defend, the Huns' offense will be unsatisfactory and there will be great trouble. If there are no chariots, then once the Huns' cavalry breaks out, it will be massacre.
"Zhou Yang is stupid?"
"How could he be stupid if he is so capable of fighting?"
"There must be a trick!"
"The Han people believe in military service and never get tired of deceit, this is a trick!"
The ministers started to talk about it in a long and verbal way. Some said that Zhou Yang was stupid, some said that Zhou Yang was tricked, and there were all kinds of statements, which were all in one go.
If the Huns had cloud cars and stood on the cloud cars, they would definitely see a crossbow formation that looked like a monster, then everything would be clear. The problem is that the Huns did not have cloud cars, and their sight was blocked by the halberds. They could not see the crossbow formation, so they could only guess by themselves.
In the words of Junchen Shanyu, Zhou Yang was a cunning enemy, even more cunning than the fox on the grassland. He dared not think that Zhou Yang was stupid. The cunning enemy Zhou Yang must have his intention to set up such a formation, but he just couldn't figure it out.
"Zhongchang said, you are familiar with the internal affairs of the Han Dynasty. Do you know why Zhou Yang set up such a formation?" Junchen Shanyu had to consult Zhongchang said.
The ministers looked down upon the Bank of China's ministers. However, the Bank of China's statement is indeed talented and can often think of ideas that they could not imagine. If he asked about this matter, he would have a reasonable explanation and he couldn't help but look at the Bank of China's statement together.
The Central Xing said, frowned and pondered: "The Great Shanyu, the slave really doesn't know. Anyone who knows military tactics knows that chariots should be laid on the front, and the left and right wings should be protected by cavalry, and the back can be protected by halberd hands, or cavalry can be sent to protect them. However, Zhou Yang did the opposite, without chariots on the front, but put the chariots on the left and right wings and backs, which is puzzling."
The ministers were disappointed, curled their lips and muttered: "Silly Han Dog!"
"King Zuo Guli, what do you think?" Junchen Shanyu had to consult the resourceful Yi Zhixie.
"Da Shanyu, I can't figure it out." Yi Zhi frowned very tightly: "But there is a saying in the Han people who can make it clear that abnormality is a monster. Zhou Yang must have the intention of setting up such a formation."
Junchen Shanyu nodded slightly: "Yes!"
"The Great Shanyu, Zhou Yang wanted to lure us into the formation and then encircle and annihilate us." A minister immediately became clever and began to guess.
This statement is somewhat convincing, and many ministers agree.
Yi Zhixie snorted coldly and said, "Do you think Zhou Yang is as stupid as you? The last time I attacked him, I lured him into the formation, because I only had 50,000 people, and he had 200,000 people. He lured me into the formation and could completely encircle and annihilate me. Now, the 300,000 soldiers of the Great Huns are all here, much more than the Han army. What does the Han army use to surround us? In terms of the military tactics of the Han people, it is a big siege. Zhou Yang needs 600,000 troops to surround us. Does he have one?"
The minister who was guessing randomly looked ugly and dared not say anything again.
"If you really want to surround the Han army, it should be the Great Huns surrounding the Han army!" Yi Zhixie concluded with this.
This conclusion is very correct.
It is not impossible to use complex terrain and use weak forces to surround the dominant enemy. However, this is a plain under the Great Wall, with a flat horse. There is no terrain to be used. To surround the enemy, you need much more troops than the enemy. The Han army does not meet this condition.
The Huns had more than 100,000 more than the Han army, so it was possible to surround the Han army.
Zhang Xingshuo and Yi Zhixie did not understand Zhou Yang's intentions. Although Junchen Shanyu was an enlightened person, it was difficult to understand such abnormal formations. The three of them were the most enlightened people among the Huns, and they couldn't even understand them, so the ministers would not even think about it.
"Original Shanyu thought that the reason why Zhou Yang used the chariot to defend the two wings and backs instead of the front was because he thought the front was strong enough that there was no need for the chariot. So, how powerful was the front of the Han army?" Junchen Shanyu's judgment was exactly what Zhou Yang intended.
The crossbow formation is invincible and has the power to destroy the world. Where do you need a chariot to defend?
"If you want to know how powerful the Han army is, you just need to fight and understand." Junchen Shanyu's eyes condensed and he shouted: "Hou Chan'er, you will lead 30,000 elite troops to launch a strong attack on the Han army. Remember, you must be ruthless and force Zhou Yang out of the box!"
"Don't worry, I'll go now!" Hou Chan'er received the order. What an honor and excitement to hand over this head to himself.
He brought 30,000 elite troops with him, waved his scimitar and shouted: "Kill all the Han people!"
He slapped the horse and rushed out first.
"Kill all the Han people!"
Thirty thousand elite soldiers from the Shanyu headquarters roared and rushed towards the Han army like a whirlwind.
The elite troops of the Shanyu headquarters were the most elite soldiers of the Huns. They were invincible in charge head-on. The Han army would definitely not be able to make good use of this power. The military minister Shanyu was full of confidence and was ready to see the Han army be in trouble.
However, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he was surprised to find that the elite of his headquarters actually had wings and could fly!
No, it’s not that it grows wings, it turns into fallen leaves!
