"Zhicai, how do you think this battle should be fought?"

Guo Peng looked at Xi Zhong beside him, who joined the battle as a staff officer of the army.

Xi Zhong learned about Xu Rong's army in Sujube, and now he is observing from a distance and has a bottom in his heart.

"Our army is not inferior to Xu Rong's department in all aspects, Xu Rong is good at using cavalry, Ming Gong is also good at using cavalry, our cavalry is not weaker than Xu Rong, and it is also comparable in number, our army is slightly weaker in terms of foot soldiers, and Xu Rong's infantry may not be so elite.

All in all, the strength of the two sides is similar, the strength is equal, Ming Gong, this is an evenly matched force battle, our army has no other way than to break the enemy with the right soldiers.

If this battle is won, our army can enter the revolving gate pass, enter the pass, threaten Luoyang, persecute Dong Zhuo, and can also inspire the coalition army, and ask Dong to succeed, if defeated, everything will be over. ”

Guo Peng nodded.

"Yes, the strength is evenly matched, we must fight with positive force to break the enemy, there is no other way, Zhicai, do you think it is better for our army to take the initiative to attack, or to take the initiative to defend?"

Guo Peng asked again.

"Take the initiative to attack to show our army's determination to defeat the enemy! Don't give up until you win! ”

Xi Zhong suggested without hesitation.

"Okay."

Guo Peng agrees.

So the battle began with Guo Peng first ordering Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's army to attack Xu Rong's army.

War drums rumbled, horns sounded, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei each led their respective military formations and began to assault forward.

In the battle against the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, Guo Peng paid great attention to exercising Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's ability to command the troops.

It is precisely because of this that Guo Peng chose Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to bring to the battlefield as generals, giving them the opportunity to show their abilities and let them defend the fierce soldiers of Liangzhou and Bingzhou head-on.

At the same time, the cavalry of Zhao Yun Guo Lie and the Gongsun brothers also began to attack, detouring from both flanks and challenging Xu Rong's cavalry with classic cavalry and archery tactics.

Seeing that Guo Peng's side took the initiative to attack, Xu Rong was not to be outdone, and immediately ordered the infantry army and cavalry to meet it head-on, and to fight well with the elite army under Guo Peng's command.

In Xu Rong's view, as long as Guo Peng's army is killed, the Kwantung Coalition Army will naturally lose fear, Guo Peng is the only person in the Kwantung Coalition Army who is regarded by Dong Zhuo as a big trouble, thinking that only Guo Peng has the ability to lead the army to threaten Luoyang, and everyone else is scum.

Xu Rong was very cautious, and he never left the Chinese army's main array, but chose a hill to climb, condescendingly inspected the battlefield, and gave orders and instructions to the army at any time.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led the army formation to march hand in hand, facing the oncoming strict military formation of the other party, they also knew that they had met their opponents, this was not the weak chickens of the Yellow Turban Army, but the elite, the real elite who had experienced the battle formation.

It's hard to deal with.

But.

That's what makes sense!

The drums of war came to an abrupt halt.

"Shoot !!"

After many cooperations, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had the same mind and advanced to a certain position, and the two ordered the army to stop advancing at the same time, and the crossbowmen immediately bent their bows and arrows and threw them at the enemy on the opposite side.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led the army to release arrows first, and Xu Rongjun on the opposite side immediately put up a big shield for defense, and the crossbowmen were ready in it.

The rain of arrows fell in response to the sound, clanging and smashing on the shields, some of them were bounced away, while others hit the soldiers, many of whom were shot and wailed.

It was not their style to be beaten, and after a round of arrow rain, Xu Rongjun immediately began to counterattack, the big shield separated, and the crossbowmen immediately shot back with arrows.

"Raise your shield!!"

Zhang Fei's loud voice was particularly loud, the war drums sounded, and the military formation completed the defensive state, just like the opposite, some arrows were bounced away, and some arrows were hit by the soldiers.

The two sides come and go, and the arrows rain greet, but in the case that both sides are in a tight military formation, the damage caused by such a shot is relatively limited.

At the same time as they continued to shoot at each other, the military formations of the two sides were also constantly approaching, approaching a certain range, shooting was meaningless, the spearmen were in the front, the drums of war suddenly became rapid, and the distance between the two sides was constantly narrowing and narrowing.

"Thorn !!"

Zhang Fei's voice was still so loud, and at this moment, the first spear pierced out of Zhang Fei's formation, burrowed into the gap between the two large shields on the opposite side, and pierced straight into the chest of a soldier on the opposite side.

"Ah!!h

A scream.

With this as the beginning, the violent collision between the two military formations began, and one by one the blood flowers bloomed, the spears pierced into the flesh, and then pulled out fiercely, taking away one fresh life after another.

There are people on top of this side who fall there, and there are people who fall on top of that side.

The spearmen on both sides were desperately stabbing, as long as they were not stabbed, as long as they could still stab out, they would keep stabbing.

While stabbing, he roared loudly, and used violent roars to increase his courage, strength, and chance of killing the other party.

The foot soldiers of both sides collided with each other and fought each other in the long battle line, and the battle was extremely tragic.

On the other side, the cavalry of the two armies also officially began to clash.

Both sides are good at cavalry and archery, whether it is the cavalry under Guo Peng or the cavalry under Gongsun Zhan, all of them are good at riding and archery, wandering around each other, shooting at each other, in the cavalry battle, Xu Rong's army can not take advantage of it at all.

Since this is the case, then it is better to simply give up riding and shooting and directly charge savagely.

Xu Rong looked at it from a distance and felt that it was pointless to be entangled in cavalry shooting, so he immediately ordered the cavalry to enter a state of hand-to-hand combat and attack Guo Peng's cavalry in the way they were good at.

"Ming Gong! Xu Rong let the cavalry fight hand-to-hand! ”

Xi Zhong looked from afar, and saw that Xu Rong's cavalry had drawn out their ring-headed swords, picked up their spears, and rushed towards Guo Peng's cavalry with an indomitable momentum.

Guo Peng is not surprised by this.

"Both sides will ride and shoot, that is the time to fight for numbers and bravery, whoever can defeat the opponent's cavalry first will be able to gain an advantage, and the other side will lose its retreat, and no one will dare to lose."

Seeing that the other party was using hand-to-hand combat, Guo Peng's cavalry also entered a state of hand-to-hand combat.

Before the two sides officially fought, Guo Peng's cavalry suddenly pulled out their hand axes or hammers and threw them directly at the opposite side, catching the opponent off guard.

Xu Rong's cavalry flipped on their backs, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Guo Peng's cavalry broke in in one fell swoop, setting off a bloody storm.

In the frontal battle, Zhao Yun, Guo Lie, Gongsun Zhan and Gongsun Yuesi galloped across the battlefield, and the situation was extremely tragic.

"Guo Zifeng deserves to be a famous general."

Seeing Guo Peng's cavalry fighting hand-to-hand combat with the cavalry under his command without showing weakness, Xu Rong frowned, remembering the instructions sent by Dong Zhuo himself before sending the troops, asking him to be careful of Guo Peng.

He is not only brave, but also can use soldiers, is an extremely difficult opponent, the soldiers under his command are elite and good at fighting, you must not treat him in the same way as the Kwantung princes, otherwise once defeated, Luoyang will be in danger.

Seeing that the situation on the battlefield has entered a stalemate, Guo Peng's total strength is redundant with himself, and it is useless for him to have a rear army.

Retreat is tantamount to defeat, and it is tantamount to giving up the initiative in the war.

Xu Rong didn't dare to take this risk.

It is necessary to defeat Guo Peng's main force as soon as possible, so that this battle will be secure.

"Limmond."

"In!"

"You personally led the troops to press up, stepped forward to supervise the battle, and urged the infantry to defeat Guo Peng's infantry as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

Xu Rong sent his lieutenant Li Meng and asked Li Meng to lead people forward in order to defeat Guo Peng's infantry as soon as possible.

If Guo Peng thought that he would only use cavalry to fight, he would underestimate himself.

Xu Rong saw that Guo Peng's cavalry was more warlike and more fierce, while the infantry army was slightly difficult in combat, and the infantry army on his side was five or five open.

Xu Rong and some of the elite infantry of the Chinese army did not enter the battlefield, he has always been preparing to enter the battlefield at the right time, crushing Guo Peng's infantry head-on, the infantry army was scattered, and no matter how good his cavalry was, it was useless.

However, Xu Rong really admired Guo Peng, and actually brought out such a brave and warlike cavalry, it seems that he did not delay at all in the years of the northern frontier, and he deserves to be a famous general.

Xu Rong still recognized Guo Peng's cavalry.
