Peng Tuo who was full of confidence immediately rushed to the front of the Wangjiapo without saying a word. Facing Wang Yun's array, Peng Tuo, Huang Shao, Zhang Banxian, Xun Yu and the others stopped their horses in front of the array and looked at Wang Yun's array seriously.

Peng Tuo was from a poor family and had not really studied before. He had also never really done anything. Relying on his martial arts skills, he had a small reputation in the martial arts world. Only then could he become a big shot and become the leader of the xanthopanax. He had never read the Soldier's Book, so he did not know what kind of array it was. When he saw Wang Yun's array, he was truly shocked.

"Mr. Zhang, what kind of array is Wang Yun setting up?"

In contrast to Peng Tuo, the Zhang Banxian had read a lot of books, but did not have the same level of martial power as Peng Tuo. Of course he knew what array Wang Yun was setting up, but he was in no hurry to reveal it. Instead, she pretended to look at it for a good while before she told Peng Tuo everything at a leisurely pace.

"Wang Yun arranged himself into a square formation, the big square formations were formed by small square formations, which are called 'array formation', and the troops at the center of the square formation are small, but there are a lot of troops around, which are called 'thin medium square', bluffing."

When Peng Tuo heard Zhang Banxian say this, he was overjoyed. He had truly invited the right strategist, if Bo Cai had invited a strategist over earlier, he would not have done something so foolish as to form a camp based on grass. He had heard that with his knowledge of formations, he would be able to break through this formation around here and immediately ask the Zhang Banxian for guidance.

"Mr. Zhang, how do we break this formation?"

When Zhang Banxian saw Wang Yun's square formation, she immediately understood what Wang Yun was thinking. Actually, Wang Yun had set up a normal square formation. This was the most basic formation for army battles in the era of cold weapons. In order to confuse Peng Tuo, Wang Yun created a 'thin medium thickness square'. In other words, there were less middle and more troops on the side, which completely depended on the characteristics of his own troops.

Wang Yun's forces were mainly from the Henan officers and soldiers s, and there were also many other Rennan rural chivalry s. Henan officers and soldiers had experienced battle formations before, so he had a lot of battle experience, but there were very few of them, so he had no choice but to arrange them in the middle, making it easier to maneuver at any time. As for those Rennan rural chivalry s, they had never experienced any kind of dignified battles and could only line them up as the scapegoats.

It should be said that Wang Yun's array arrangement was very accurate, with a lot of troops on all four sides, it would be able to better defend against the enemy's attacks. Those Rennan rural chivalry s basically only had pikes, putting these pikes in front of them would be able to effectively kill the enemies that were charging at them, and would consume them the most.

The reason why the Zhang Banxian was so careful was because she was looking for Wang Yun's weakness. It had to be said that this Wang Yun really knew how to use troops, even Zhang Banxian admired him a little. However, when he saw the Rennan rural chivalry, he smiled. He finally found the one to destroy the enemy.

"Generals, gather all your elites. Dressed in armor and holding a shield in hand, line them up in a conical array.

The conical array formed a cone-shaped battle formation. The conical array had to be sharp and fast, with strong wings, it could attack the enemy from the narrow front, break and split the enemy's formation, expand the battle formation with its wings, it was a type of formation that stressed the importance of breaking through the enemy's formation. It was also the most common attacking formation.

Hearing that, Huang Shao immediately understood what was going on. There are many things that you don't know, but once you expose them, you'll realize that the solution to the problem is actually that simple. Although Huang Shao had never read any books before, he was not stupid.

"So that's why the profound formation is only mediocre. Who cares what kind of array it was, just gather tens of thousands of elite soldiers and charge. Isn't Huangfu Song's and Zhu Jun's imperial army in a huge formation? Isn't it supposed to be broken by us? No matter how good his array is, it only has seven ten thousand people s. With one hundred thousand of us charging in, I don't believe we won't be able to break his array. "

Peng Tuo glared at him fiercely. You would understand if someone else said something, but you didn't care about it. If someone else didn't say it, why didn't you know? Peng Tuo did not bother with him, and immediately ordered for the gathering of elites, quickly forming a conical array and brandishing the big blade.

"Beat the drum. Attack."

"Dong Dong Dong …"

The so-called elites of the xanthopanax were Peng Tuo and Huang Shao's troops. Since the beginning of the battle, they had always been following Huang Pai and the rest, and the majority of them were presumptuous people. Of course, their equipment was also the best, and whenever there was a war, they would always be the ones fighting. The moment the battle drum sounded, it charged forward shouting.

"Shoot!"

The officer shouted, and shot out rows after rows of Arrows s. Although many of the xanthopanax soldiers fell, they still rushed forward. The Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves, who wanted to live, was led by Huang Shao, who rushed forward while shouting. Without any formation or order, they only had the courage to fight for their lives, and pounced at the officials like a group of mad dogs.

Within the effective range, if the soldiers on the attacking side increased the speed of their charge, archer would not have enough time to shoot five arrows. Of course, there were exceptions to this special training. Very quickly, xanthopanax rushed to the front of the formation.

Just as Zhang Banxian expected, in that short moment when the two sides clashed, the Rennan rural chivalry was the first to collapse. Wang Yun had forgotten a basic principle, and it could even be said that it was the most important principle. That is, no matter how perfect the formation was, it was built by humans.

Wang Yun's seventy thousand soldiers, other than the more than ten thousand Henan officers and soldiers s who still had some fighting strength, the more than fifty thousand Rennan rural chivalry s were basically a mob. Their target was a group of mad dogs that rushed over like surging waves. The moment they clashed, over fifty thousand Rennan rural chivalry s collapsed.

Even Henan officers and soldiers, who had some fighting strength, was thrown into disarray by the scattered Rennan rural chivalry. Henan officers and soldiers was after all not an official army of the imperial government, so he hurriedly followed the flood of defeated soldiers and fled for his life.

"Retreat, hurry and retreat."

Even in his wildest dreams, Wang Yun would never have imagined that the great formation he had meticulously prepared would actually be so weak that it could not even withstand a single blow. Seeing that the battlefield was out of control, he could only give the order to retreat. He himself, along with the personal guards and servant, hurriedly ran away. He didn't even have time to take a glance at his dazzling General Flag which had already been stepped on by the Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves. On the official road that led to the Pingyu, over one hundred and fifty cavalrymen were rushing forward. They wore the leather armour s of the cavalry of Youzhou, each and every one of them had spears on their saddles, bows and arrows on their backs, their young and tender faces full of confidence.

Seeing that the Pingyu was right in front of them, the riders couldn't help but slow down. But before they could even catch their breath, they suddenly saw dozens of cavalrymen wearing yellow scarves rushing out from the forest in front of them. It was clear that they were xanthopanax, they were trying their best to run towards the Pingyu. The leading Young people raised his right hand and waved it forward.

"Charge over and destroy them."

More than a hundred and fifty riders raised their horsewhips and waved them in the air, drawing a circle. A crisp firecracker sound could be heard behind them. The group of horses immediately raised their hooves, "Hui …" With a scream, he quickly rushed forward.

Obviously, the cavalry of Youzhou's horse was running much faster. As it ran, it took down its bow and arrows, and nocked them onto its bowstring. In the blink of an eye, the cavalry of Youzhou had caught up with the yellow scarfed cavalrymen. Without even needing to give an order, the s and the dozens of xanthopanax s all dismounted, but a few lucky ones managed to escape and ran in the direction of the Pingyu.

Very quickly, the Pingyu was right in front of him.

In the middle of the summer, when the sun was hanging high in the sky like a giant fireball, the bloodstains on the walls of the Pingyu shone even more brightly under the rays of the sun. Facing wave after wave of xanthopanax, the soldiers and the village braves fought their way under the scorching sun.

The ground seemed to be scorched. Blood dripped onto the ground, and "Zi …" The sound then seeped into the ground. Over a hundred thousand xanthopanax soldiers carried their ladders and rushed up the city walls once more, shouting and shouting. Arrows kept falling and corpses kept falling, as people continued to charge up the city walls.

Under the urging of the Generals's shouts, the Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves avoided the large blade in his hand fearfully and had no choice but to climb up the wall. Among the choices of being killed by the enemy or by the general, they undoubtedly chose the former.

"Zhu Kan, go back and report to the Lord Commander. Peng Tuo and his men are attacking the city right now, we are monitoring them from here."

A few months of exorcism's experiential learning, in the summer obviously matured a lot. Even though he was still a man of few words, he had absolute authority in the exorcism. The entire exorcism team was just like a group of hunters. They were adventurous, brave, brutal and cunning.

"Dang, dang, dang, dang …"

The sound of the emergency retreat gongs started to ring. When the xanthopanax soldiers who were attacking the city heard the gong, they did not say anything further. As for the xanthopanax soldiers who were halfway up the stairs, they could not care less and directly jumped down from the ladders. Even if he was crippled, it was still better than being killed.

The appearance of such a team from the exorcism disrupted Peng Tuo and his plans to attack the city. Peng Tuo and Huang Shao, who were directing the attack, heard the report from the escaping exorcism. They knew that their old enemy, cavalry of Youzhou, was here again, so they quickly muttered a few words with him before withdrawing with the gong.

General Peng, the cavalry of Youzhou is here. We can't attack the Lunan anymore, we should retreat quickly.

Ever since they had defeated Wang Yun, Peng Tuo and Huang Shao had surrounded him within the city. According to Peng Tuo's and Huang Shao's intentions, they did not want to get entangled with Wang Yun in the Lunan, so fleeing to the cautious county would be safer. But Zhang Banxian suggested to take down Lunan, saying that Lunan City was as wealthy as a nation, and after doing so, they should completely settle the xanthopanax's logistics supply. Now that they had provoked the cavalry of Youzhou, Peng Tuo and Huang Shao became anxious.

"Okay, we will immediately prepare to leave. Mr. Zhang, cavalry of Youzhou will definitely not let us retreat so easily, what method do you have to deal with the cavalry? "

"The best way to deal with the cavalry is still through cavalry, but we don't have any cavalry, so we can only focus on defense. If they were to be attacked by the cavalry, Lance Soldier would gather in front of the formation and defend, they would not dare to attack recklessly. They are private soldiers, and they won't do it if there are too many casualties. "

Zhang Banxian was still the same old man, she unenthusiastically revealed her own way, but this was also the most effective way. Since ancient times, the best weapons for the infantry against the cavalry were long spears, long spears and other kinds of long weapon, followed by tree stumps, deep pits, and trip ropes. Of course, if you run into the mountains and forests, the cavalry will be helpless.
