Of course, the Langya Zhan is not omnipotent, but there is one advantage that Han Qian is most interested in at this time, and that is that the Langya Zhan is long enough, five meters long, which can give new soldiers who have to face ferocious and powerful enemies when they enter the battlefield

With a strong sense of security.

Moreover, he disrupted the original sentry formation and imitated the Yuanyang Formation, mixing archers, sword and shield soldiers, wolf fang soldiers, and shield soldiers. However, he did not see that the Yuanyang Formation had a miraculous effect in restraining elite weapons.

The new recruits have not undergone long-term training, and can only be allowed to perform some of the simplest actions in a mixed team. One is to use a wolf fang to block the enemy soldiers at the periphery, and the other is to use a large shield to block the bow and arrow, and the real close combat

Fighting and shooting from a distance are left to the old pawn.

Of course, he was mainly betting that Zhao Zhen would not lose too many elite cavalry on the southeast flank of Maoshan.

In the land of Jianghuai where there is a shortage of cavalry, it is unacceptable for any elite cavalry to suffer heavy casualties.

Before the Chuzhou Army transferred a large number of elite infantry soldiers to the front line of Baihu Ridge, Han Qian dared to transfer the troops of the Second Capital and the Third Capital, which were mostly new soldiers, to the northeastern foot of Donglu Mountain in turn to suppress Chu.

A flank attack by the state army's cavalry.

In order to harass the Chishan Army on the southeast flank of Maoshan, the elite cavalry of the Chuzhou Army frequently dispatched, but with little success.

On the entire flank, Han Qian's requirement for all the new sentries sent to the front line from the Second and Third Capitals was to be nailed in place like nails, motionless.

Zhao Zhen did not dare to send all his cavalry forward for a decisive battle. He only dared to send two to three hundred cavalry in formation to attack the flanks each time.

Although the elite cavalry of the Chuzhou Army trained hard on horseback and archery, they were often able to catch the panic of the Chishan Army's new recruits. Many of their soldiers were wounded and shot to death, and they even dispersed one or two sentries of the Chishan Army's new recruits.

When it is necessary to expand the chaos and tear apart more military formations formed by sentries as units of the Chishan Army, the Chishan Army's elite combat forces deployed later will quickly penetrate through the gaps in the front formation without fear.

, with more sophisticated armor and weapons, the Chuzhou Army's cavalry was forced to retreat, making it difficult to expand the results.

In three or four days, the Chuzhou Army suffered more than 50 cavalry casualties, and nearly 400 new Chishan Army soldiers were wounded and killed. Just comparing the number of casualties on both sides, it seems that the record is more impressive, but in a battle of this scale

The harassment campaign had no practical significance, and it could not even shake the morale of the Chishan Army.

Because in these three or four days, at least three to four thousand slaves and their families entered Maoshan from the west to replenish the Chishan Army with thousands of young and strong new soldiers.

At present, the Chishan Army has almost 13,000 to 4,000 people. At the valley entrances of the northern and middle hills, and at the mountain col, there are also bamboo spear formations of this kind. Due to the terrain, it is more difficult for their cavalry to rush in and harass them.

Zhao Zhen also noticed that the new soldiers of the Chishan Army adapted to the shock caused by the cavalry charge in a very short period of time, and the flank formation became more and more stable.

In comparison, their generals became impatient and made two rash advances, resulting in more than ten casualties.

During this period, the Chishan Army used four thousand soldiers and horses to surround Shangjia Fort at the northern foot of Donglu Mountain. They were not in a hurry to launch a siege. They were obviously waiting to see whether their east wing could suppress the disturbance of the Chuzhou Army's cavalry.

Attack.

And because the Chuzhou Army had never been able to effectively break through the Chishan Army's defense formation on the flanks, the defenders in Shangjiabao did not dare to come out of the stronghold to fight back.

In fact, this has a very subtle impact on the mentality of the generals of the three parties.

"How dare Han Qian use our cavalry to train his new recruits! Could it be that they have no intention of attacking Shangjiabao at all?" Yin Peng stood beside Wang Wenqian and asked with a wry smile.

Wang Wenqian frowned, shook his head, and said: "Han Qian still wants to attack Shangjiabao, but before that, he wants to test our determination to attack his flank..."

Accompanied by Yin Peng, he once personally rushed to the front line to see the contact between the two sides at close range. He did not expect that a small long bamboo pole would cause them such a big trouble.

Wang Wenqian was not willing to send his elite cavalry to fight for their losses. After all, the Chishan Army was not their primary target.

Of course, it is not difficult to suppress the weird weapons made of long bamboo poles. For example, if you concentrate two to three rows of heavy shields, or concentrate two or three rows of heavy armored infantry to attack, you can suppress this kind of long bamboo poles, but

The problem is that Han Qian placed more than a thousand elite and veteran soldiers at a later position to hold down the formation. How many elite heavy-armored infantry did they need to mobilize from the southeastern foothills of Baohua Mountain or even Dantu City?

And when Han Qian gave up the storming of Shangjiapu and transferred all his troops to the east of Maoshan Mountain to fight them decisively, how many troops would they need to ensure a sure victory?

Once they draw too many troops from the northern front and Han Qian gives up fighting with them in the Pingkuo area and retreats to Maoshan, how will they respond? Will they lose sight of one and end up being taken advantage of by the Peace Palace?

Wang Wenqian suddenly discovered that apart from ineffectively harassing the Chishan Army's flanks at a set pace, there was actually no more effective way to restrain the Chishan Army from attacking Shangjia Fort; they seemed to have no choice but to rely on the danger.

The Shangjia Fort that was defended could hold on for a longer time and inflicted heavy losses on the Chishan Army.

"The next step is to gnaw at Shangjiabao. Gaodu will ask me to go over and ask you, do you want to be the first to kill and save your mother's brothers and sisters?"

Shang Hu was asking two old scouts for advice on how to control the horse without letting go, so that when the two horses crossed each other, he could free his hands to do more things. The messenger cavalry came over, reined in the horse and stopped in front of Shang Hu, and asked him:

.

"Who should I report to?" Shang Hu quickly packed up his sword and spear, thinking about tying him to the horse and leading the horse to the new camp to report.

"Fuck you," an old scout knocked Shang Hu's hand away with the handle of his knife, and took back the war horse. "You have to secretly thank God for taking away this broken-edged spear, and you still dare to think about it in your heart.

You are greedy for our horses, you are not as honest as you seem! You capture Shangjiabao, take two more heads, and then ask the high general to transfer him to our Jinyun Tower to scout horses. Then you can choose two

Get a good war horse and ride it in turns."

"Now it's time to recruit people from the guard camp. Does Guo Nuer have the guts to take advantage of our Master Kong?" The visitor was not polite to the two old men and directly brought up Kong Xirong's name to prevent them from defrauding Shang Hu in the future.

.

"The guard battalion is going to attack Shangjia Fort in person?" the old scout asked.

"Otherwise?" the visitor asked scornfully, "are you tickling the enemy like you are doing?"
