Chapter 579: Did Zhang He fall for the trap at Jian Ge? Zhang He: Do I have a choice?

"Junyi, are these Xianbei people all this stupid?"

"Just charging over like this without caring about anything, wouldn't they just become living targets?"

Zhang Xiu stared with a strange expression at the Xianbei mounted scouts rushing toward them.

He had thought that the combat power of the Xianbei people should be very strong.

Even at their worst, they were at least a cavalry unit.

But he did not expect them to be stupid to such a degree!

At the very front of the defensive line, there were not only anti-horse barriers but also quite a few traps like pits.

And behind these barriers and pits were deployed the Vanguard Death Soldiers and the archer guard.

These few great killing weapons, even if the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry arrived here, would likely have to pay a huge price.

Let alone the Xianbei mounted scouts?

Consequently, the Xianbei mounted scouts charging toward this side right now was simply a disguised form of seeking death.

Do not look at the fact that the Xianbei mounted scouts currently occupied a numerical advantage.

But no matter how many of them there were, it was impossible for them to line up in a row and fully spread out.

In other words.

The Xianbei mounted scouts were now like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather, sending themselves over one team after another.

And Zhang He and Zhang Xiu, standing behind the defensive fortifications, were free from all worries.

"Youwei, I also didn't expect these Xianbei people to be so stupid."

"Perhaps, in their brains, the phrase 'all is fair in war' simply doesn't exist?"

Zhang He responded to Zhang Xiu's doubt with a smile.

This time, Gu Yi had handed the position of main general to Zhang He, with Zhang Xiu as the deputy general.

It was not that he looked down on Zhang Xiu.

It was just that compared to Zhang Xiu, Zhang He was undoubtedly more wise and courageous.

Besides this, Zhang He was also skilled in "clever changes," and in his conduct and work, he was never rigid.

Immediately following.

Zhang He continuously sent people to convey new instructions to the front line.

Although the defensive fortifications and the army's formation arrangements could be called impregnable.

But no matter how sturdy the defense, if there was no suitable general to command it, it would ultimately only be reduced to waste paper that could be torn apart.

Therefore.

A general's command ability was a very important point in determining victory or defeat on the battlefield.

For example.

If it were Sun Shiwan here instead.

Never mind fifty thousand Han troops, even five hundred thousand Han troops would likely not be able to exert their proper combat power.

But Zhang He was different.

He could calmly and unhurriedly command these fifty thousand troops to carry out various arrangements to deal with the charge of the Xianbei mounted scouts.

At the same time.

On the other side.

Although Budugen was somewhat reckless, he was not a fool.

Those Xianbei mounted scouts charging at the very front were, without exception, from the subordinates of that group of people within the Xianbei who opposed Budugen.

Budugen used a provocation tactic.

At the same time, he used his status as the Great Chanyu to make those opponents charge to the very front first.

And based on Budugen's understanding of the Han people, it was highly probable that there were some traps at the very front of the Han defensive line.

Letting the Xianbei mounted scouts under those opponents test the waters would not only not cause a loss to the trusted forces under Budugen's command.

Instead, it could further weaken the strength of the opponents.

For Budugen's control of the Xianbei, this could be called a strategy of killing two birds with one stone. ===== CHAPTER 580 =====
