In the south of Jizhou, on the vast plains, the two armies looked at each other from a distance, and a major battle was about to break out.

On one side is the Han army, with more than 7,000 people in the five battalions and the material officers, and thousands of Sanhe cavalry on both sides. Ma Riyan's archery department was in the front army, with more than 700 people lined up in two columns, followed by two columns of big Han officers carrying strong crossbows, and more than 1,000 shooters. The infantry captain department led by Xu Rong and the material officers formed the Chinese army, which was placed behind the archer formation in an infantry formation, and the two formations were clearly distinguished, but they were only a few steps apart.

The Vietnamese cavalry captain's department, which was disabled in a close battle, was merged into the Changshui camp and wandered on the right flank, and there were more than 900 remaining cavalry from the two divisions.

On the left flank were the cavalry urgently recruited from the Three Rivers region and the cavalry battalion of the Northern Army, and although the armor and horses seemed to be far inferior to the right flank, the number of the Three Rivers cavalry of more than 2,000 was enough to make up for this disadvantage.

Lu Zhi was guarded by a group of personal guards and dead soldiers in the Chinese army, and by his side there were flag bearers and several heralds, as well as a set of golden drums.

The golden drum is a synthesis of four gold and six drums, four gold fingers, bracelets, cymbals, and duos. The six drums refer to the thunder drum, the spirit drum, the road drum, the moto drum, the moto drum, and the Jin drum. In ancient times, when the army marched and fought, it was inseparable from the golden drum, and when the army was ordered to move and attack, it was beaten on the drum, that is, the drum was beaten, and when the army was ordered to stop or retreat, it was struck, that is, the golden army was withdrawn.

As soon as the drums sounded, the army immediately pressed up, and the footsteps of tens of thousands of people echoed in the heavens and the earth, and the entire army formation walked towards the front at a uniform speed.

Ma Yue grabbed the reins, and the horse man under his crotch stood up, and Ma Yue stood up and shouted: "Han warriors, make meritorious contributions in the present day, follow me!" ”

Cao Poshi held the scimitar and shouted: "Kill! ”

Thousands of cavalry roared, and the cavalry drove the horses to pac forward.

The role of cavalry is not to hit in a straight line, it is the responsibility of the heavy infantry under Xu Rong, and Ma Yue's mission is to focus on striking at the enemy's weak positions and creating opportunities for the main infantry army.

When the enemy army is defeated to the point of defeat, it is where they come in.

Miles away, these men were honest farmers, hunters, and fishermen a month ago. Today, they are brave warriors, fanatical believers, and about to crush one of the most elite troops of the entire Han Dynasty.

This is Jizhou, their base camp.

The leader of these 20,000 Yellow Turbans is the Digong General among the three Yellow Turban generals, Zhang Bao.

Zhang Baosheng is tall and strong, for more than ten years, Zhang Bao has followed his eldest brother to the north and south, and he not only has good martial arts, but also has a unique medical skill. The Yellow Turban soldiers under his command are not elites, most of them are believers who have traveled long distances to this place in the land of Jingyang, and they have no military training but have a fanaticism that is not afraid of hardships and dangers.

This is also the reason why Zhang Bao did not retreat after receiving the report of the enemy's situation, but set up a position here and prepared to fight a tough battle with the elite of the Han army.

Merely...... Zhang Bao didn't expect that the main force of the Han army also had nearly 20,000 troops.

Zhang Bao rode a black-maned horse, looking at the Han army in formation several miles away, his face was cloudy.

A few steps behind him, a sturdy black-faced man patted his horse and said, "General, the enemy army is large, and we are all civilians and our soldiers are not in good order, I am afraid that we are not the opponents......"

"yes." Zhang Bao nodded, stretched out his hand and pointed at the Han army and said: "Yuanfu, you see, the enemy army is in a tight formation, and there are many cavalry on the flanks, which is not good for our army. ”

The black-faced man known as Yuanfu nodded and turned his horse away, sent more than a dozen sentry horsemen to give orders, and then led the only more than 1,000 cavalry in the army formation to the front of the formation, cautiously looking at the Han army opposite.

After Yuanfu left, Zhang Bao sent an order again to Julu to report the military situation. Zhang Baojun did not have many horses, except for the thousand-man supervising team of the general Zhou Cang, only the nearly 100 guards around Zhang Bao had war horses.

Even if the common people get horses, many people will not be able to ride.

Zhang Bao sighed and looked nervously at the Han army opposite.

"Eh, Captain Ma, why do you think this group of yellow thieves is planning to retreat without fighting?"

On the right flank of the Han army, Cao Poshi and Ma Yue slowly detoured forward in front of the formation, and just walked less than two steps, Cao Poshi pointed to the opposite military formation and scolded with a smile: "A coward, didn't you dare to ambush Lao Tzu just now, and now you are all instigated when you encounter the main force of our Han army." ”

Ma Yue looked at the slowly retreating yellow scarf and hooked the corners of his mouth, not a mockery, he became curious about the general opposite.

Not impulsive, but with some brains.

At this moment, the drums suddenly came from the left and right of the Chinese army, Ma Yue's heart tightened, and he said to Cao Poshi: "Captain Cao, the general told me to wait for the attack." ”

Cao Poshi didn't need to be reminded by Ma Yue at all, he stood up from the horse and raised his arms and shouted: "Yue Cavalry Camp Lang will attack with me to avenge my dead brother!" ”

Ma Yue also spread the reins and rushed out, Cao Poshi was more anxious than him, and rushed out with a horse body while raising his saber and shouting.

At the same time, the crossbowmen of the front army's shooting battalion also ran forward, and so did the cavalry on the left flank, and the whole army advanced rapidly, and the cavalry on both sides were like the sharp horns of a mad bull, fiercely advancing forward.

After sweeping to the left flank troops thousands of steps away, Ma Yue wrinkled his brows and shouted: "Captain Cao, slow down!" ”

Cao Poshi didn't care so much, not to mention that the shouts and footsteps on the battlefield were mixed, and hearing was almost useless.

'This Cao Poshi really doesn't have any memory. Ma Yue knocked the horse's buttocks with the long pole in his hand, and the mount suddenly took two steps faster, catching up with Cao Poshi Ma Yue immediately lowered his body and pulled Cao Poshi's reins, which made Cao Poshi glare.

It is very dangerous for the cavalry to suddenly pull the reins of the opponent when they are advancing at high speed, especially with such a large cavalry team, if the horses fall to the ground in shock, it will be trampled by thousands of troops.

Fortunately, he pulled the reins very hard, which just made Cao Poshi feel that he was calling him.

Seeing Cao Poshi staring at him questioningly, Ma Yue didn't speak, but glanced at the cavalry troops on the left flank while galloping, and turned his head to see Cao Poshi immediately understood.

On the left flank of the Han army, it was Bao Hong who led the Tun cavalry battalion and the Sanhe cavalry to charge, Cao Poshi was angry when he saw it, and the speed of the charge immediately slowed down. Who knew that he slowed down but saw that Ma Yue was still rushing forward unabated, and hurriedly followed and asked: "Brother Ma, what does this mean, you asked a certain person to stop but you rushed forward." ”

Ma Yue, who controlled the horse, was very helpless to Cao Poshi, maybe he shouldn't have stopped him just now, Ma Yue shouted without looking back: "This is war, I just told Captain Cao to slow down and don't go deep alone." Just a little slower than the left wing. ”

Ma Yue didn't want to hurt Bao Hong, he Bao Hong could have a plan to see death and not save him, but Ma Yue couldn't do the same.

Merely...... The heart of defense is indispensable.
