Zhang He led his troops to block the exit of the valley, which was the only way Cao Ren wanted to escape.
??Moreover, Zhang He did not lead many soldiers and horses in order to keep it secret and prevent Cao Ren's pursuers from discovering something fishy at the beginning.
The total number of soldiers was almost the same as Cao Ren's Qiang cavalry, so Cao Ren vowed to break through Zhang He's guards in one fell swoop.
Liang Xu saw the Qiang and Hu cavalry ready to attack, as well as Zhang He as their target.
As someone who has experienced the Qiang and Hu chaos, Liang Xu quickly reminded loudly: "General Zhang, be sure to be careful!
The strength of these Qiang and Hu cannot be underestimated and must not be underestimated. "
Unexpectedly, as soon as Liang Xu's voice fell, Zhang Xiong beside him said nonchalantly: "Liang Gongcao, don't worry, father has made his own decision.
You just need to follow me and guard this place. "
Before Cao Ren¡¯s pursuers arrived, Zhang He had already made arrangements.
The 10,000 soldiers and horses he led were naturally guarding the most important exit.
Zhang Xiong, as the team supporting Liang Xu, is responsible for guarding the exit on the other side of the basin.
This place is further away from Wangyuan and is generally not targeted by enemy troops, so the pressure is not as high as Zhang He's side.
However, Zhang Xiong also has a very important mission.
That is when the enemy breaks out, take the initiative to attack the enemy's rear, causing them to ignore both the head and tail, and completely annihilate the enemy.
The ambushes located on the surrounding mountains mainly focus on long-range attacks.
At the same time, be prepared to go up the mountain when the enemy troops escape, and completely annihilate these people in the trap, leaving no one behind.
Therefore, although Zhang He is the target of the enemy's attack, as long as the generals implement the previous arrangements, there is no need to worry about anything.
As for Zhang He, he was equally confident.
Seeing that Cao Ren had already commanded the Qiang cavalry to charge, Zhang He immediately shouted coldly: "The whole army is ready, thousands of arrows are fired!"
As soon as the words fell, the army behind them, which had been prepared for a long time, started shooting without hesitation.
Bows and arrows like raindrops made bursts of sound, pouring down on the heads of Cao Ren's cavalry.
Cao Ren's cavalry originally came to chase Liang Xu, and they did not carry large defensive shields at all.
Only a round shield the size of a pot lid behind the horse could resist.
How could such a small defensive area block such a dense rain of arrows?
With just one round of bow and arrow shooting, thousands of Qiang and Hu cavalry were killed on the spot.
In order to make it easier for Qiang and Hu to fight immediately, they usually use leather armor.
Although such leather armor is very effective in preventing cuts from melee weapons, it has no effect against the armor-piercing arrows designed by Liu Ke himself.
Therefore, the Qiang and Hu cavalry suddenly discovered that the leather armor they originally relied on for survival was like a layer of paper, and was fiercely penetrated by enemy arrows. Then they lost consciousness and fell off their horses.
And besides being directly shot, a large part of the Qiang and Hu cavalry who were killed or injured were also because their mounts were frightened by arrows.
Then he went crazy and threw him off his horse, and was immediately trampled into a pulp by other cavalry following him.
"Compared to those who were killed by arrows, the fate of these people was even more tragic.
Some are not even dead yet, still lying on the ground and screaming in agony, constantly irritating the nerves of their companions.
"put!"
There was another shout, followed by a loud "boom".
It turned out to be the sound of the bow string vibrating when the bow and arrows were released uniformly.
Because Zhang He's men were well trained, they were released at the same time. It sounded like a bow was being fired.
Immediately afterwards, another dark cloud floated directly above Cao Ren's army, covering the sun above his head.
However, these are no dark clouds. They are clearly arrows flying towards us.
This time, thousands of Qiang and Hu cavalrymen could no longer continue charging and fell heavily to the ground.
The two rounds of arrow rain actually directly killed and injured nearly 2,000 of the opponent's combatants.
You must know that Cao Ren only had 10,000 troops in total, and he had already suffered so many casualties before making contact with the opponent.
"If we suffer a few more rounds of arrows, I'm afraid the entire army will be wiped out.
At this moment, he also personally experienced the terrifying power of the arrow rain.
Even his own arm was hit by an arrow and was bleeding profusely.
"No, we must rush over, otherwise the army will be completely destroyed!"
Cao Ren said in his heart, and immediately increased the speed of his charge, rushing towards Zhang He indomitably.
Finally, when the third round of arrow rain came to an end, Cao Ren's army finally rushed forward, but the original 10,000 cavalrymen now had less than 7,000 left.
As for Zhang He, he had already made preparations.
Under the unified command, all members put away their bows and took out their swords, and started a hand-to-hand combat with the opponent.
Originally, the Qiang and Hu cavalry had already charged. If they could rush into the enemy formation in one fell swoop, they would be able to cause a lot of damage.
However, Zhang He was already familiar with dealing with such light cavalry.
He set up a formation that was completely unseen at the time - the hollow square formation.
At the front of the formation are the spearmen who have just replaced their bows and arrows, used to resist the first wave of cavalry attacks.
??????????????????????? If the enemy is unstoppable, then take advantage of the situation to open an opening and put the cavalry into the hollow formation in the middle.
At the rear of the formation, there was a row of troops holding bright bayonets. These people fired arrows at first.
When the enemy rushes into the hollow position, immediately use the knife to scare them.
You know, no matter how well-trained war horses are, they are afraid of bright and sharp objects.
No matter how much training you do, this is impossible to avoid because it is part of the horse¡¯s nature and has already been engraved in its genes.
And after being blocked by the spearmen in front, the speed of the cavalry has been slowed down by three points.
At this moment, if you suddenly bump into these bayonets, you will immediately avoid them and fall into chaos in an instant.
As soon as the war horse at the front stops, those following behind it will catch up with them.
By then, the war horses were in chaos, and they were all trapped in the hollow formation.
What awaits them is the fate of being slaughtered by the surrounding armies armed with guns and knives.
The Qiang and Hu cavalry have never encountered this hollow battle formation before.
Even though it was not invented in this era, Liu Ke invented it based on modern battle formations.
Although there is no musket, it is impossible to exert its maximum effect.
But now the Divine Arm Bow equipped can perform at 30% to 40% level.
However, the scope of application of the hollow square matrix is ??still somewhat limited.
If they are on open grasslands, the cavalry can still harass with their flexible mobility.
But at this moment, Zhang He was guarding the exit of the basin, and the other party had no choice but to rush in.
Therefore, it can finally exert its most powerful combat effectiveness.
Cao Ren was secretly happy when he saw him rushing forward.
Although there was a forest of spears in front of him, he was not worried.
Relying on the powerful impact of the horses, these spearmen collapsed at the first touch, and a large hole suddenly escaped. Cao Ren's cavalry passed through without any effort.
