Chapter 14: The Battle of Qiyang

The two sides of the Qiyang War were Cao Cao and Yuan Shu.

But Zhang Xiu came to this world. Under the influence of the little butterfly Zhang Xiu, history has changed a lot.

Originally, at this time, Zhang Xiu had already surrendered to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was sleeping in the gentle township of the Zou family, not thinking about returning. At this time, Yuan Shu was sending the Seven-Way Army to conquer Lu Bu, and Chen Deng used a counter-strategy to plot against Han Xian and Yang Feng. Coupled with Liu Bei's help, Yuan Shu was defeated.

But now, Zhang Xiu not only did not surrender to Cao Cao, but traveled thousands of miles to attack Yuan Shu. Cao Cao, in order to solve the problem of abdominal armpits, continued to attack Liu Biao, who recovered Nanyang. Yuan Shu did not send the Seven Roads Army to fight Lu Bu, but he was ready to attack Zhang Xiu. Or directly encircle and annihilate and obtain a large number of Zhang Xiu's army horses and armor.

In the end, how will history change, and will Cao Cao repeat the story of Wancheng's two consecutive defeats? Whether Yuan Shu began to fall from the peak of power, no one knows.

Only Liu Bei took the initiative to respond to the crusade against Yuan Shu, who claimed to be the emperor, and this history has not changed. It's just that the time is in advance, and the protagonist Liu Bei helped was replaced by Cao Cao to Zhang Xiu.

The sun was rising, and in the plain eighty miles west of Qiyang City, the armies of Zhang and Yuan were already in array.

Yuan Shu rejected the suggestion of Yuan Shu, a strategist with the army, to stick to Qiyang to wear down the spirit of Zhang Xiujun's army, and then defeat Zhang Xiujun, who had no logistical support at all.

Later, Yuan Jian proposed the strategy of concentrating troops to fight, but Yuan Shu still used the reason that Zhang Xiu, a lost dog, could not be allowed to escape. insisted on dividing the troops into seven routes, outflanking Zhang Xiujun, and the tactics of himself and Ji Ling.

On the east side of the two armies facing now is the 50,000 elite soldiers of Zhang Xun, the general under Yuan Shu. On the west side, there are 70,000 horses of Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xun's army was grouped into a whole block, and the column was a defensive formation. The shield spear is in the front, the crossbowman is in the center, the short soldier is in the back, and the cavalry is in line with the two wings.

Zhang Xiu's army was on the offensive. It is divided into three armies: left, center, and right. There were 15,000 Runan soldiers on the left and right, led by Liu Pigong and Gong respectively.

At the front of the Chinese army were the 20,000 soldiers originally recruited by Zhang Ji in Yongzhou, as well as Liu Bei's 6,000 small Pei troops. The main general will be Guan Yu, and the deputy will be Zhang Xiu's general Lei Xu. Although the combat power of the Yongzhou soldiers is not as good as that of the Liangzhou soldiers, they have experienced a lot of battles, and the Xiaopei army has been with Liu Guanzhang for a long time, and its combat power is not worse than the ordinary Huainan army.

There are also 2,000 Qianghu knife and axe soldiers hiding under the shield of the Chinese army's front, and these Qianghu knife and axe men are a characteristic of Zhang Xiujun's troops.

These Qianghu people are all broad-shouldered and round-waisted, and their weapons are big axes and broad-swords. Once it rushes into the enemy formation, it is like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, and the destructive power is huge. The big axe can break the shield array, and the broadsword can break the spear array. Between swinging the sword and axe, the short soldier is even more incomparable.

It's just that the shortcomings of the knife and axe hand are also obvious, that is, the armor defense is too low. Because it is certain that the physical consumption is huge because of the heavy weapon in hand, and in this case, it is impossible to maintain combat ability for a considerable period of time, wearing iron armor. Besides, wearing iron armor will greatly hinder the use of the big axe and broadsword in the arm. Therefore, these Qianghu soldiers are all dressed in light leather armor, and they can only block the stray arrows.

The rear of the Chinese army is the main Liangzhou soldiers. These 17,000 Liangzhou soldiers are all old soldiers from the Dong Zhuo period. In his early years, he experienced battles against Qianghu and other foreign races, and later with Dong Zhuo, he experienced the Guanzhong Rebellion, and they were all elites for the rest of their lives. Led by General Zhang Xian.

The Yongliang soldiers also include the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Flying Bear Army. There were more than 40,000 people in total. It is worth noting that here, Yuan Shu has a sentence that is very suitable for these 40,000 Yongliang soldiers.

Loser!

The turmoil in Yongliang and Liangzhou lasted no longer than the turmoil in the Central Plains, but the consequences were much more serious than those in the Central Plains.

Most of the Xiliang generals belonged to the tough and unkind type, and the fierce Xiliang soldiers were deeply affected by the alien winds of the Biansaiqiang, Hu, Xianbei, and Xiongnu, and the turmoil was even more turbulent than the Central Plains soldiers.

Even the Wenchen strategists of Xiliang are all ruthless and vicious. Poisoner Jia Xu doesn't have to explain. There is also a more famous one named Li Ru, who is not as vicious as Jia Xu.

As a result of the turmoil and mutual attack and slaughter, the population of Yongliang and Yongliang Prefecture reached the level of ten rooms and nine emptiness as early as possible. Until Li Dao and Guo Yan's respective subordinates Duan Xuan and Wu Xi couldn't stand it anymore, they colluded with each other to assassinate their boss, and then surrendered to Cao Cao together in Yongzhou. In the end, Cao Cao sent the famous Wenchen Zhong Xuan to guard Chang'an and govern Yongzhou, and the situation improved.

And the Central Plains, although the war has not stopped from the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the present, until Cao Cao unified the Central Plains, the population of the Central Plains only reached the level of ten or two. The degree of damage is much less severe than that of Yongliang. This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Xiu looks down on Yongzhou and wants to come to the Central Plains.

In fact, the most important reason is that Zhang Xiu thinks that Yuan Shu is too stupid, at least stupider than himself. Zhang Xiu is still confident that he will take down Yuan Shu's Huainan.

It is said that most of these 40,000 Yongliang soldiers now have no wives, children, parents and relatives. His hometown has long been destroyed by the war. Yongzhou is no longer a place worth worrying about, and now they are home all over the world. But for a normal person, it is impossible to drift like this forever. They needed a place to live, so they reunited with Zhang Ji, and when Zhang Ji died, they pinned their hopes on Zhang Xiu, hoping that Zhang Xiu could give them a home.

They were so eager that in real history, Liu Biao made a condition to allow the An family to be in Jingzhou, and Zhang Xiujun immediately dispersed more than half. forced Zhang Xiu to succumb to Liu Biao. And now, Zhang Xiu began to run long distances before the news reached the army.

If this battle is won, Zhang Xiu will become a real prince of one side. The Yongliang army will take Huainan as their home, and he will embroider the horse's head as a saddle.

Fortunately, Yuan Shu's brain became unbright because of the expansion of his power and the jade seal, and he even forgot the simple truth of shooting the first bird. Moreover, you can learn from the method of Lu Bu to break the seven-way army of Yuan Shu in real history. Therefore, Zhang Xiu won the battle.

The peak state of Yuan Shu's power will be terminated by me.

In this battle, 6,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry were also lined up on the south side of the battlefield. It is slightly far away from Zhang Xiu's main formation. It was led by Zhang Fei, and Liao Hua Zhou Cang was the deputy general. Zhang Xun naturally cared about the most threatening Xiliang cavalry, and when he saw that Xiliang Tie was riding on the southwest side of his army, he sent the most resistant shield men and pikemen in his army to the southwest side.

The field tactics of the Xiliang Army are admired by any force in the world. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry charged first, relying on the full set of heavy armor and heavy guns in his hands to break through the enemy formation; Then the axe men followed, and continued to slash at the wound until the opponent's flesh and blood were blurred; In the end, ordinary soldiers followed, and the result was doomed.

As for the Eight Hundred Flying Bear Army, this is Zhang Xiu's current trump card. To deal with Yuan Shu, Zhang Xiu estimated that he would not need it.

Zhang Xiujun's army had a movable high platform, pulled by sixteen horses. On the high platform, there are big drums, war drums, bronze cymbals, and flags of the Chinese army. At this moment, Zhang Xiu, Liu Bei and several soldiers were standing on the high platform, looking at Zhang Xunjun opposite.

"General Guangwu, you can start," Liu Bei pressed the male and female double-stranded swords on his waist with both hands, looked at the rising sun behind Zhang Xunjun and said, "In another quarter and a half hours, the sun will become dazzling." Our army is naked, which is not conducive to our army's fighting. ”

Zhang Xiu raised his head slightly and glanced at the red sun that had just turned red, knowing that what Liu Bei said made sense, he hugged his fists and said: "Please also ask Xuande Gong to give an order, Zhang Xiu will obey the order." ”

"Order my brother Yun Chang to step forward immediately, you don't have to talk too much to Zhang Xun, my brother Yun Chang must attack in half an hour." Liu Bei said.

Zhang Xiu glanced at the cronies next to him, and the soldier understood and ran down the high platform. whispered to the Lingqi under the high platform. The cavalryman got on his horse and rushed forward, and when he reached the front of the formation, he shouted loudly: "The Chinese army has an order, and the main general of the Chinese army, Guan Yu, will go to battle immediately!" The Chinese army has an order, and Guan Yu, the commander of the Chinese army, will go to war immediately! ”

After shouting three times in a row, Guan Yu half-opened his eyes from the state of closing his eyes. With his right hand stretched out, a cavalryman next to him hurriedly handed over the Qinglong Glaive Knife. As soon as you brush your hair with your left hand, you are ready to go into battle.

Only then did Ling Qi run to Guan Yu's side and whispered: "The Chinese army only gives General Guan half an hour, and the whole army will attack after half an hour." ”

"Why do you have to tell my eldest brother and General Zhang in half an hour, in just this half of time, I will definitely kill that Zhang Xun." Guan Yu said that, he grabbed the reins of the Da Wanliang horse under his crotch, clamped the horse's belly and galloped out.

Riding on a horse, even Guan Yu had to secretly admire the horsepower of Dawan horse in his heart. Carrying his tiger body and his eighty-two pound Qinglong Yanyue Knife, he still ran like flying. It's the best horse I've ever ridden!

Guan Yu didn't say much superfluous words, and time was pressing, so he ran directly to Zhang Xunjun's banner.

At this moment, in Zhang Xunjun's opinion, he saw a long-haired general, riding a high-headed horse, with a big knife in his back and rushing straight towards his Chinese army.

"Who's coming?" Zhang Xun asked the generals beside him.

Most of the generals shook their heads, and only one general saw Guan Yu from afar, as if he thought a little: "This person seems to be very familiar, but the last general can't remember it for a while." General Rong will give me a moment to recall. ”

The other general, however, raised his spear and said as he rode out: "Look at the last general, greet this person!" ”

Guan Yu was running towards Zhang Xunjun, and when he saw a general facing him, he shouted and asked, "Are you Zhang Xun?" ”

The Zhang Xun general pointed a gun at Guan Yu: "Oh, red-faced thief, I'm Zhang Xun-"

Before he finished a sentence, he saw Guan Yu suddenly clamp the horse's belly, suddenly lifted his horsepower, and slashed at the general!

In Zhang Xun's array, the general was still thinking hard, until he heard a "red-faced thief", he patted his head and almost shouted: "Let him come back!" The man who came was—"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Xun and the generals heard a neat boo from all the ordinary soldiers next to him!

Looking at the field again, there was only one person and two horses left, and the other person was already lying on the ground. To be precise, it was a man who had been cut in two and was lying on the ground.

The man's eyes had lost their brilliance, but his mouth was still moving, and you could see that he was saying, "I am Zhang Xun's general."

"That person is Guan Yu," Zhang Xun was in the array, and the general finished speaking: "I have seen this person fighting with General Ji Ling in General Ji Ling's army. ”

At this moment, Guan Yu couldn't react in his brain, so he killed Zhang Xun?

It's so easy, isn't it? I heard that the force is still ranked second under Yuan Shu, so it's like this?

With Ji Ling, how can I fight in the sky and on the ground, Ji Ling can still fight with me for more than 30 rounds. Why does Zhang Xun claim to be as famous as Ji Ling?
