Two days later, on the plain north of Mianzhu and between Fuxian, 30,000 Han troops and 90,000 Liu Yan's troops lined up in a mighty formation, preparing for a dignified battle very tacitly.

It's a pity that Li Su is not here, otherwise, he will definitely sigh in surprise: the location of the battlefield here is actually the same as the last battle of Zhuge Zhan against Deng Ai seventy-three years later in the original history.

It can only be said that there is such a battlefield on the Mianzhu Plain suitable for the deployment of the army, so those who know the soldiers will choose it this way.

If Li Su was here, then he would definitely have another understanding of Zhuge Zhan's debatable strategy of "going out of the city for a decisive battle".

How similar is Zhuge Zhan's predicament to Liu Yan at this moment?

Many people in later generations complained: Zhuge Zhan didn't know the soldiers, since he couldn't block Deng Ai in Jiangyou, then he retreated to Mianzhu to defend it, why bother to fight with Deng Ai? Shouldn't Deng Ai be more eager to fight than him?

I didn't see the first battle of Mianzhu, because the Wei army was unfavorable in attack, Deng Ai was so anxious that he threatened, "If you don't win again, you will behead Deng Zhong and ask the master to ask for the crime", so the pressure succeeded in breaking the Shu army, it can be seen that Deng Ai is the party that should be anxious!

This statement cannot be said to be unreasonable, but there is no doubt that it helped Deng Ai open up God's perspective and sweep away the fog of war - Deng Ai was anxious, because he didn't know that Shu Ru had long been looking forward to the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, and hoped that Wei would liberate them from the Zhuge style of rule of law, if he knew that the morale of the people in Shu was so poor, he wouldn't have to worry.

And Zhuge Zhan knows the contradictions within Shu better than Deng Ai, he knows that in addition to himself who is willing to fight to the death, other locals are unreliable - even if he stubbornly guards Mianzhu to block it, Deng Ai will not wait for death on the spot, and will definitely fight to the death and make a detour, and find a way to meet the enemy because of food. When the time comes, if you go around the surrounding counties, there may be thousands of surrender factions like Jiangyou Ma Miao and snowball. Therefore, we can only hope for a quick victory to extinguish Deng Ai.

This point is clearly reflected in the words of Qian Zhou who persuaded Liu Chan not to go to Nanzhong: "Your Majesty still wants to go to Nanzhong? Your Majesty thinks that after Deng Ai catches up, will the soldiers and officials escorted by Your Majesty still have their hearts set on Your Majesty? ”

And today, Liu Yan's thoughts in his heart seem to be the same: he knows that if he waits any longer, there will only be more and more surrender factions, and the troops will flee less and less, and he will not be able to fight without fighting.

It is nothing more than Deng Ai holding the bait of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system in his hand, while Liu Bei is holding the holy decree of the Han Emperor, which is the difference between obedience and disobedience.

Heavenly reincarnation.

……

"Yide, for my brother, I'll see how you perform today."

Liu Bei personally rode on a tall horse to look at the opposite side, and did not see any famous generals in the enemy army, so he ordered Zhang Fei to command the main force in front and prepare to advance.

"Big brother, don't worry, I will capture that Liu Yan today!"

Zhang Feihu roared in response, waved the snake spear in his hand, and commanded the Chinese army to step forward.

Today's Han army is 30,000 main forces, consisting of about 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry, and the cavalry is still led by Zhao Yun, the captain of Changshui, and the remaining main force belongs to Zhang Fei.

Among the 20,000 infantry, because the Danyang system (including the Jiujiang soldiers) was taken to the battlefield on the Eastern Front by Guan Yu, the composition was about 10,000 Youzhou infantry, 3,000 Hedong soldiers, 2,000 Jingshi Northern Army (including 800 trapping camps), 5,000 Banyu Barbarians and Qingqiang soldiers.

The Youzhou infantry was the main force of the Chinese army, the Ban Yu Man and the Qingqiang soldiers were the vanguard, and the trap camp was used as a strategic reserve.

"General Pi Zhang Fei is here! Liu Yan Lao'er quickly sent a thief to come out and die! Who dares to fight with me! Before and after coming to the formation, Zhang Fei knew that it was unlikely that the enemy army would send someone out to fight alone, but he still had to shout a few times.

This kind of dignified battle in formation can hit the morale of the enemy army more.

In addition to Zhang Fei's heads-up challenge, Liu Beijun also let the scolders continue to talk about the holy decree and the imperial court, and even the former Zuo Zhonglang general and the current infantry captain Wu Kuang personally came to the front of the battle for the first time to show his identity and shout.

Wu Kuang even openly condemned Liu Yan for forcibly hiring his niece as Liu Mao's fiancée before the battle, saying that the Wu family would definitely not marry the traitor, if the Wu family had been defiled by Liu Mao, then he, Wu Kuang, would rather kill his niece than let her live in the world as a relative of Liu Yan's family!

This blatant insult dealt an extremely important blow to Liu Yanjun's morale. Because many high-ranking officials around Liu Yan know how much Wu Yi and the Wu brothers and sisters used to be valued by Liu Yan, and how deep the friendship between Liu Yan and Wu Yi's deceased father was.

Now Wu Yi's deceased father's brother ran out and scolded him in person to break off relations, which has to prove to what extent Liu Yanzhong betrayed his relatives and left?

Moreover, the key Wu family also followed Liu Yan from the capital, and they were also quite related to the Dongzhou forces, so this move not only shook the morale of the Yizhou soldiers, but even the morale of the Dongzhou soldiers was hit.

Liu Yan suddenly became angry: "Wu Kuang Pifu! I'm good friends with Brother Ling, and I'm doing your! I want you to speak for your dead brother! Charge the whole army! Charge fast! Kill Zhang Fei first, and then kill Wu Kuang! ”

After that, Liu Yan also forcibly coerced two or three generals in the army who were known for their bravery, and let them fight Zhang Fei, thwart the spirit of the Han army, and behead those who violated the order!

Under such a strict order, there were also a few young generals who were not very knowledgeable and did not know Zhang Fei's prestige, and they relied on their own bravery, and forcibly responded to the battle alone, or bypassed Zhang Fei and went straight to Wu Kuang.

"Good time!" Zhang Fei was overjoyed and fought with a gun, he didn't expect Wu Kuang to scold the enemy so much that he had to fight alone, it was really cool.

"Drink!" Zhang Fei crossed his horse, roared violently, and directly picked the enemy general on the fork blade of the snake spear, and after the fork blade came out of his back, Zhang Fei twisted the spear shaft ninety degrees.

It's like inserting a key into the lock hole and turning it half a circle, so that it doesn't fall out of the lock hole when the key is pulled back. In this way, you can pick up the enemy corpse in the air, throw it up twice like a big flag, and then turn the snake spear fork back to the keyhole angle and throw the corpse away.

After throwing off, Zhang Fei seemed to remember a question and turned to the second opponent: "Who is here just now!" You can even get his name together! Alas, I'm sorry, you said it was too slow, forget it. ”

can only blame Zhang Fei's muscle memory before the brain language center, although he remembered to ask the second enemy general what the two people called, but his arm was already very familiar and poked out again, and the result was that he didn't have time to listen to the other party's mouth for another second.

The third dragon set enemy general had a relatively high IQ at the beginning, and chose to go straight to Wu Kuang, who shouted out of the battle. Wu Kuang looks like he is forty or fifty years old, and he should have low martial arts, which is much easier to deal with than Zhang Fei.

There was a guard standing beside Wu Kuang, but the guard didn't look gorgeous, he was wearing the armor of an ordinary junior officer below the rank of Qu Junhou instead of scale armor, and even the helmet was a mass of cast iron, without the thorns and tassels at the tip of the helmet, so he didn't have to care.

It's a pity that when he rushed to a dozen steps away from Wu Kuang, the plainly armored guard officer came up to meet him, and fought five or six rendezvous with great strength and neatness, and the general of Liu Yanjun's dragon set was stabbed to death with one shot.

can only blame him for bullying Gao Shun's armor without decoration, thinking that Gao Shun is a fish belly, so he naturally has to pay the price.

With the three generals of Liu Yanjun's army beheaded, the main forces of the infantry armies on both sides have also rushed to the imminent distance.

Because Liu Yanjun couldn't hold his breath, he was in a state of charging more actively, and he naturally had to suffer a little loss in terms of the three arrows in the battle. Foot archers can only have one or two rounds of throwing arrows during the charge, while crossbows are completely unconditional.

In contrast, the Han soldiers and soldiers were all battle-hardened, and they did not lose their luster in the face of the enemy swarming, nor were they afraid of 30,000 to 90,000. The three waves of arrows in the crossbow array were also released in strict accordance with the rhythm, and there was absolutely no situation where the arrows were released in advance because of nervousness, and they were wasted outside the effective range.

Liu Beijun has always had a lot of bows and crossbows, Wu Kuang brought two thousand crossbows when he left Beijing, and today they were all lined up in the first line of the military array, and after three rounds, they could retreat from the gap between the corridors of the array in an orderly manner, and everything was in order.

"Hum-" A fluctuating crossbow string with a long echo of the sound was neatly aligned, and thousands of powerful crossbow arrows shot out flat in a low trajectory.

The biggest advantage of flat fire is that it can achieve line kills instead of point kills. Once there are no enemies at the landing point, the throwing arrow will be shot in vain, while the flat arrow will not be wasted even if it does not hit the enemy in the first row, as long as there are other enemies on the subsequent trajectory. But this method of shooting is difficult to achieve without a strong crossbow with sufficient power.

"Puff-puff-puff-" The sharp edge into the flesh and the terrible howl were intertwined, and hundreds of people were hit by arrows in each round, and Liu Yanjun had not yet rushed to the front, and a total of 2,000 people had fallen to the ground after several waves of strong crossbows!

The momentum of the charge suddenly decayed, and the courage of the blood and qi that blindly rushed at the beginning and did not pass through the brain also cooled down.

And once one cools down from the unconscious frenzy, fear soon follows.

However, after the Han army methodically shot the last wave of arrows, they also launched a counterattack while the enemy was still twenty or thirty steps away from the front row, and could not fall behind in the impact force.

In this way, Liu Yanjun began to run from more than 200 steps away, and at the moment of the final collision, the impact and speed advantages were not as good as the Han army who had just run.

"Quick! Jump into the rear! The front army finally rushed up! Entangled Liu Bei! The left and right wings continue to spread! Liu Yan sat on the padded command chariot, and when he saw this, he hurriedly personally commanded the reserves.

After all, Liu Bei had a much more sophisticated crossbow array and good equipment brought out by the Jingshi arsenal, and every time Liu Yanjun wanted to enter hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, he had to pay a lot of price.

The Dongzhou soldiers who fought the vanguard arrived at more than 2,000 people, and it was only in exchange for this situation of all-out melee, of course, that the front army could not be defeated, and that it was necessary to immediately increase troops to maintain morale.

Liu Yan has a large army, and the biggest advantage is that the two wings can be spread farther after sticking to the front, and if the Han army can finally achieve three bread clamps, then there is still a fight.

It's a pity that Liu Bei won't give them such a chance.

Zhang Fei was like a mainstay, fiercely holding on to the front and standing still, while Liu Bei sat in the rear army and watched from a high position, and after seeing the movement of Liu Yan's reserves, he immediately ordered Zhao Yun to attack and cut off the roundabout troops on both flanks of Liu Yan's army from the weak point.

There is no cavalry, and you still want to go around the rear? Even if there are a lot of people!

Liu Yanzhong's army was Pang Xi's battle overseer, and he led the main force of Dongzhou soldiers. The left and right flanks are Zheng Du and Huang Quan, who have just been promoted, respectively, and the soldiers they lead are also Yizhou soldiers. These people had no experience in commanding large corps in battle, and it was conceivably difficult to ensure that tactical maneuvers were in place in a hurry.

Liu Yan also knew that the Yizhou soldiers were relatively unable to fight tough battles, so he didn't dare to let them rush to the front of the Chinese army, lest they would be collapsed by the crossbow formation of the Han army who were waiting for him at the beginning, in that case, once he turned around and fled, he would bring the rear army into chaos.

Even Wang Lei, who had just learned a little bit about the soldiers, was captured by Zhao Yun in Wuyang. Liu Yan is really unavailable, just like when playing "Three Kingdoms 14", he asked a bunch of guys with a command value of fifty or sixty to resist Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun. (Huang Quan is in charge of more than 70 in the game, but Huang Quan, who is just in his early twenties, has obviously not reached this level)

In the process of detour, Huang Quan and Zheng Du soon became disconnected, and they were cut off by Zhao Yun instead. The fighting will of these Yizhou soldiers was not good in the first place, and it was completely because they felt that "our soldiers are many powerful, and they can stand on the side of the crowd with Liu Yan, so they reluctantly followed Liu Yanming".

Such a force, once it is discovered that "the side with a large number of people is not necessarily safe", at this time, the allure of the imperial decree will be fully brought into play.

Several battalions of Yizhou soldiers, after being cut off from Huang Quan and Zheng Du's banner formation by Zhao Yun, only resisted less than half a stick of incense, and then surrendered one after another.

"We surrender! Don't kill! We were all forcibly conscripted into the army by Liu Yan! ”

There was an uproar for a while, and Zhao Yun himself couldn't believe that tens of thousands of Yizhou recruits had directly voted, and these people had been recruited as soldiers for less than half a year, and they couldn't talk about discipline and literacy at all, and they were forcibly pulled from the peasants.

Zhao Yun himself commanded on the left flank, and the right flank was handed over to the generals under his command, so Zhao Yun directly faced Huang Quan, he saw that the morale of the enemy army was so low, and two percent had already fled and defected, and he no longer left his hand, and directly concentrated his forces on rushing towards Huang Quan's banner array.

There are still 20,000 troops led by Huang Quan, but they have been scattered too wide, the depth is insufficient, Zhao Yun is desperate, no one is stopping at all, Zhao Yun sees that Huang Quan is a civilian official, although he is wearing armor, but the weapon is only a sword, Zhao Yun is not too much, with the length advantage of the silver gun, he directly slammed the gun and tied it cleanly.

With the fall of Huang Quan's banner, Liu Yanjun's left flank completely collapsed, like a crumbling land, headless flies.

Zhang Fei observed the great victory of the left flank in the Chinese army, and shouted fiercely: "Zilong has succeeded!" The whole army presses on! Gao Shun, it's time for you to behave, send out the trapping camp and go straight to the Dongzhou soldier general Pang Xiqi formation! ”

Gao Shun's trapping camp has always been a strategic reserve, and he has long been tired of recuperating these days, and he can finally show his skills when he hears the rumors.

"The will to fall into battle, there is death and no life! Kill!!! ”

Eight hundred people were the leader, followed by Wu Kuang's more than 1,000 people of the Beijing Northern Army, all of which were elite equipment with iron armor and cast iron helmets. The trapping camp had a sword and a small round shield in their hands, tore a hole in the front army's scorching and dog-toothed front, and went straight to Pang Xi's banner.

Pang Xi led the Dongzhou soldiers, the width of the frontal battle was two miles, there were nearly a thousand people in one platoon, and the thickness of the front line was forty or fifty rows.

The Chopping Horse Sword is a kind of single-sided open-edged thick-backed long sword with a blade length of five feet (1.15 meters) and a handle length of three feet in the Han Dynasty, and it is also the predecessor of the Mo knife in the Sui and Tang dynasties, but the sword body is very straight. Obviously, because there is no quenching technology with a covering soil burning edge, there is no different thermal expansion and cold contraction curvature of each section. The sword is very expensive, and the elite troops of the non-Beijing division simply can't afford it.

Pang Xi was stunned when he watched the eight hundred horse-cutting swords and everyone's iron armor slash up in unison. The Dongzhou Soldier Front was like the sea of fertile charcoal, the boiling soup pouring the remnants of the snow, and the flames flying in the fire, which were broken into two at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Pang Xi saw Gao Shun killing in front of him, but Gao Shun came too quickly, and he had no chance to speak in the chaos, so he could only grab the horse and abandon the army and flee. Fortunately, Gao Shun led the trapped camp to fight on foot, and the enemy general could not catch up with him when he fled on horseback, but he also easily captured Pang Xi's Daxu and occupied the flag array.

"I can't fight anymore, get out of here! Escape back to Mianzhu City! Liu Yan of the rear army also knew that the general trend had gone, and ordered the left and right to drive back to the city quickly.

The 60,000 Yizhou soldiers are estimated to be completely defective, and the 30,000 Dongzhou soldiers don't know how many of them can escape back to the city to defend the city.

The Han army swarmed up, capturing prisoners all over the mountains, Gao Shun and Zhao Yun rushed to the north gate of Mianzhu City successively, the defenders of the city were afraid that Gao Shun would take the city, so they closed the city gate far away, and even the Dongzhou soldiers who had not had time to enter the city were abandoned.

There were at least four or five thousand Dongzhou troops who were blocked outside the city because they were running slowly, and Zhao Yun Gaoshun was everywhere, and they could only kneel and surrender one after another.
