Zhang Liao is obviously a man who is familiar with the art of war. Why did he set up this defensive formation?

The only good thing is that due to the continuous drought, the land near the river beach is still relatively hard. For the cavalry, they don't have to worry about the horse's hooves getting stuck in the mud and becoming slower than the infantry. In the end, it becomes the backbone of the infantry and distant crossbowmen.

target.

This may be the only good news that the Bingzhou Army has received since the beginning of the war.

Of course, there is also bad news, that is, the enemy's light cavalry troops are not far away from them. Although they are slightly slower, they are already far away. This also means that Zhang Liao's side has basically all the advantages that the opponent has.

.

Perhaps this is why Zhang Liao did not order his men to cross the river immediately.

After all, Zhang Liao noticed just now that the enemy's light cavalry can be said to be standard crossbow cavalry, with each man holding a crossbow. Judging from the initial confrontation, the enemy's crossbow cavalry troops are definitely veterans, even on bumpy horses.

Let the fired crossbow arrows protect

It maintains a very high hit rate. Although it cannot cause much damage to the Bingzhou Army due to the distance, it can definitely attract Zhang Liao's attention - if one's own side becomes a target and the enemy has a large group of sharpshooters, it will probably not be as good as

How wonderful is the end of the world?

Thinking of the enemy's crossbowmen, Zhang Liao couldn't help but frown.

He remembered Li Meng's evaluation of the enemy - "The enemy's crossbowmen are very strong, so be extra careful."

Judging from the fact that Li Meng's troops and the enemy were in close combat most of the time at that time, what Li Meng said about the enemy's crossbowmen being very powerful and terrifying did not only mean that the enemy's crossbowmen were all a group of sharpshooters, but also the crossbows themselves.

It was definitely a powerful crossbow. Although it was impossible to know how many stones the opponent's crossbow machine had, Zhang Liao quickly came up with a rough figure after recalling the chase just now.

But this result really shocked him and took a breath of cold air.

If my estimate is correct...

"Okay, we don't have time to rest anymore. If everyone still plans to go back alive, we must defeat the cavalry who came to intercept us! Judging from the situation of the fight just now, they may all be sharpshooters, so

The only way we can possibly defeat them is to rush over, use our speed to rush forward, and fight them in close combat, so that they cannot take advantage of their marksman advantage. Otherwise, even if we escape, we will only be advantaged by them from a distance.

You can kill at any place.

So, now, are you still willing to believe me, Zhang Wenyuan!"

"Willing, willing, willing!!!"

"Okay, then everyone follow me and charge!"

First, the war horses walked together slowly, and then started to trot, gradually speeding up during the warm-up. Every step was so neat and uniform, showing that this group of soldiers indeed had excellent qualities and also had a tacit cooperation.

He was actually counterattacked.

Although Zhang Liao's actions were indeed a bit unexpected by the enemy's light cavalry unit, they did not make him and his soldiers feel fear or worry. Such negative words are obviously impossible to appear in

in their dictionary.

Perhaps they are not the main force in that huge legion, but they also have their own glory. They have also cut off the hopes of hundreds of thousands of people on their own, and eventually defeated the people who were once their strongest opponents.

The country's ambition to dominate the world was extinguished. At that time, the total number of enemy troops attacking them was far greater than it is now.

They have no reason to fear.

The two sides quickly entered each other's shooting range. However, facing the enemy who raised their powerful crossbows, Zhang Liao and his cavalry did not change their bows as usual - based on calculation, Zhang Liao felt that

There is a slight disadvantage in terms of range. More importantly, Zhang Liao intends to deal with these enemy cavalry before the enemy's follow-up troops arrive, so he is naturally unwilling to deal with the opponent, not to mention that Zhang Liao has discovered a fatal enemy.

Weaknesses!

Therefore, even though the enemy kept trying to circle Zhang Liao's troops and have more space to display their excellent shooting skills, Zhang Liao only pursued them and successfully forced the opponent into hand-to-hand combat with the advantage of the speed of their horses.

"ha!"

A captain under Zhang Liao's command raised his spear and struck the enemy cavalry hard, forcing the enemy cavalry to use his arms to block - probably to protect his weapon, or because it was more fragile than the other.

Crossbows, their arms as hard as clay dolls are obviously more trustworthy.

And the fact is the same. The soldier who was hit by the spear did not seem to be too seriously injured. The spear seemed to have hit not a human body, but a hard boulder, and it also made a crisp impact sound.

What the hell is this!

However, the enemy cavalry that was swept away could not take the opportunity to launch a counterattack, because...

Even though they are extremely excellent cavalry, they are very ancient in all aspects and naturally are not equipped with a new weapon such as "bilateral stirrups". Therefore, in the face of lateral force attacks, even if their bodies will not have any problems, they will

After all, humans are humans and horses are horses. Even if humans and horses become one, they are still not the legendary species. As a result, they will naturally fall off the horse under the impact of huge force.

Even the earth puppet will definitely not feel comfortable this time.

It was precisely because he noticed this detail in an instant that Zhang Liao finally decided that even if he had to risk the opponent's long-range attack, he must stick together with the opponent, because only in this way can he maximize his own advantages and weaken the enemy at the same time.

Side advantage.
