(The first chapter of today is a bit late, I'm sorry, please forgive me. PS, please support Zhiyu more, thank you!)

On the ridge, I quietly watched Zhang Xiu's heavy cavalry following Lin Bao's wind cavalry camp into the "Copper Valley", and a faint smile appeared on my face.

You really fell into the trap, Zhang Xiu! This "Copper Valley" is your place to bury yourself!

On that day, after I asked Sun Gan about the approximate military situation in Wancheng, a strategy of "throwing bricks and attracting the enemy to go deeper, and encircling and annihilation" was formed in my mind. I know that in one or two months, the Guandu War between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao was about to begin. In connection with the general poor harvest of grain in Qingzhou and Yuzhou this year, Cao Cao's army's military food shortage has become inevitable (in history, Cao Cao's military food was extremely short of food and grass in the Battle of Guandu. Cao Cao repeatedly asked Xun Yu of Xuchang for food and grass, and the letters contacted by both sides were intercepted by Xu You of Yuan Shao's army). Zhang Xiu from Wancheng would definitely transport food and grass to Xuchang, so he sent Lin Bao's "Fengqi Camp" and Liao Hua's "Wolf Tooth Camp" to attack Zhang Xiu's baggage troops twice in succession, and he did get a lot of money. Zhang Xiu, who was robbed twice, must be angry and would definitely want to send troops to retaliate. So I arranged for Lin Bao to carry out the third robbery, but this time the target was no longer "food", but to catch the thousands of heavy cavalry of Zhang Xiu. If the genius Jia Xu was still in Zhang Xiu's army at this time, I would still have some concerns, but it was a pity - Jia Xu had already gone to Xuchang!

Although Zhang Xiu is very skilled in martial arts and brave in combat, he is also a person with a terrible temper and lacks intelligence! I am almost certain that he will fall into the trap! Sure enough, Lin Bao successfully introduced Zhang Xiu's army to the ambush location I preset - "Copper Valley".

"Copper Valley" is the ambush site I carefully selected after carefully surveying many terrains. The mountain here is steep and it is impossible for cavalry to escape from climbing the mountain. What's more important is that the road in the Copper Valley is relatively narrow, and the narrowest place can only accommodate 6 or 7 war horses to pass at the same time. The location where I was preparing to fight with Zhang Xiu's iron cavalry is easier to defend and difficult to attack: this is a gourd-like terrain with a narrow entrance and wide inside. The two battalions of spearmen in our army can calmly line up to defend, and after Zhang Xiu's iron cavalry was blocked in the retreat behind, if they want to escape, they can only charge towards our army from this narrow road. It can be said that our army has gained all the advantages of the geographical advantage in this battle.

I smiled and said to Liao Hua beside me: "Zi Chong's mission has been completed, and Zhang Xiu's heavy cavalry has fallen into my trap. Yuan Jian, let's see you below!"

Liao Hua looked extremely excited and nodded and said with a high voice: "Yes, General!"

Liao Hua waved the red flag in his hand three times in a row. The soldiers of the "Wolf Fang Camp" who were ambushing the ridge pushed down the mountain with a large stone that had been prepared. The road behind Zhang Xiujun, which was not wide, was immediately blocked!

"Bang the drum! Blow the trumpet!"

"The second battalion of the Bear Spear is lined up to meet the enemy!"

……………………………………………

When Zhang Xiu saw that the way out of the way was cut off, he was very upset and kept cursing!

I was caught in the trap if I was not careful!... If Wenhe was still there...

Zhang Xiuqiang calmed down and looked at him closely, and couldn't help feeling relieved. Well! Fortunately, the enemy only had a few thousand infantry troops! If you disperse them, you can win!

In order to boost morale, Zhang Xiu turned around and said loudly: "The retreat route in the rear is broken. If the soldiers do not fight to the death, they will die without a place to bury them. There are only a few thousand infantry troops in front of them, so it is not worth fear. Rush over and kill!"

"Kill!" The 3,000 heavy cavalry shouted in unison and began to charge against the enemy in front!

If it were in the plain terrain, how powerful would these cavalry charge and unparalleled! Looking at this scene, I thought to myself, but it was a pity - this is just a narrow valley.

On the not-so-wide road, the charge of 3,000 heavy cavalry could not be carried out at all. Because it was too crowded, the cavalry could not rise at all, so they could only sprint forward at a slow speed!

800 steps!

700 steps!

500 steps!

…………………………………

At 300 steps, Lin Xue, the captain of the "Tiger Gun Camp", shouted loudly:

"The first camp of the Tiger Gun Camp, line up the defensive formation! Prepare the gun array!"

The spearmen in the front immediately arranged the formation according to the usual training formation. 250 people were divided into two teams, each with 125 people. One team of soldiers stood still, and the other team of 125 soldiers took a step back and squatted down. Then two rows of soldiers neatly stabbed the spear in their hands, shouting at the same time.

"kill".

In two rows of upper and lower, 250 spears tightly sealed the narrow roads very densely.

"Two, three, four, and throw the gun in hand, the ruler is six (the horizontal line is the ruler zero, and the ruler is nine directly above, and each ruler is 10 degrees in geometry. During the gun throwing training, in order to enhance the accuracy and power of the projection, I specially introduced the ruler to the training and taught the soldiers to project according to the ruler), prepare! The enemy rode to 100 steps, listen to my orders! Project together!" Lin Xue shouted again.

200 steps!

150 steps!

Zhang Xiu's heavy cavalry was getting closer and closer, and the sound of horse hooves was gradually approaching. The soldiers in the first company of the Tiger Spear Battalion responsible for blocking the attack in front had never experienced the fierce heavy cavalry charge. A trace of fear appeared in their eyes, and the spear in their hands was slightly trembling. When Lin Xue saw it, she came to the front row with a spear in her hand and shouted in a deep voice:

"It's as quiet as a forest, as still as a mountain!"

Hearing Lin Xue's calm voice, he saw the captain coming to the front row in person. The soldiers gradually calmed down, clenched the spear in their hands, and stared at the heavy cavalry that was constantly approaching.

100 steps!

Lin Xue raised the spear in her hand and shouted: "The enemy in front of the target, the 'gun rain' tactic!! The second place, throw the gun! The third place, throw the gun! The fourth place, throw the gun!"

Three neatly cast guns covered Zhang Xiu's heavy cavalry in the charge like rain. In an instant, the heavy cavalry in the charge fell down. Because Zhang Xiu's soldiers were too concentrated, the 750 guns were almost completely fired. Although the heavy cavalry was wearing chain iron mail, the guns falling from the sky with huge momentum could pierce the iron mail with no effort. Some cavalrymen got five or six guns in one person and died on the spot, while some cavalrymen were nailed together by one gun. A wounded soldier died on the ground!

In just one round of projection, more than 400 people were killed or injured by 3,000 heavy cavalry. Zhang Xiu's eyes were red and furious!

Damn it! I want to kill all of you! Zhang Xiu's mind was filled with angry murderous intent, and he didn't care about the major casualties. He shouted angrily: "Continue to rush, rush..."

Since the people in the middle were attacked by the "gun rain", Zhang Xiu's army was divided into two pieces, and most of the heavy cavalry were separated behind, with only more than 300 cavalry in front. After hearing Zhang Xiu's orders, more than 300 cavalry in front rushed forward bravely.

OK, there are less than 100 steps, and you can start a massacre immediately! These cavalrymen are already excited!

But when they rushed to 20 steps, they were a little stunned by the scene in front of them. At the narrow intersection, 250 long spears with cold light stood in front, becoming a ruthless trap to summon death.

Knowing that there was a gun forest that reaped life ahead, these heavy cavalry could no longer hold back, so they could only grit their teeth and continue to charge forward.

As the soldiers on both sides could clearly see each other's faces!

A neat voice roared from the two hostile soldiers at the same time!
Chapter completed!
