One hundred and twenty-nine decisive battle against Zhang Chun
Looking at the words on the bamboo slips, Zhang Chun's hands were trembling, his lips were trembling, his breathing became very short, and his eyes became more and more fierce.
"Ah!! The thief dares to insult me!! ”
Zhang Chun roared angrily, threw the bamboo slip on the ground, and then threw the box on the ground, desperately slashing with a knife and stepping on it with his feet.
The generals did not dare to say a word.
When he was almost done, he raised his knife with red eyes and pointed in the direction of the Han army camp: "Pass my order!" Armament war! Completely annihilated the Han army!! ”
Zhang Chun was completely enraged, recklessly reorganized the army, lit up 30,000 elite soldiers, and began to attack the Han army defense line in Jixian County.
The so-called elite soldiers, that is, the men after removing the old, weak, sick and disabled, for Zhang Chun, most of the more than 100,000 people who were coerced were old, weak, sick and disabled, and the strong men were the elite.
Zhang Chun's strong men are only in their early 30,000s, and the others are too young or too old and weak, and they will not be pulled to the battlefield until they have to, and it is not their turn to fight in the field.
Zhang Chun's cavalry was not much, but Qiu Li's cavalry was many, but they were defeated by Guo Peng in a battle and scattered in large numbers.
Zhang Chun's cavalry in his hands at the moment was less than 4,000, and the rest were all infantry troops, so after Guo Peng led 10,000 cavalry to arrive, Zhang Chun chose to retreat back to the camp and wait for Zhang Ju and Qiu Liju's reinforcements to arrive.
But now that he was enraged, Zhang Chun couldn't control it so much, so he ordered a large army to attack the Han army, and when he left the camp gate, Zhang Chun saw from a distance that the Han army had formed a military formation waiting for him to attack.
The Chinese army of the Han army was an infantry army in formation, with cavalry on both wings, and there were many cavalry, and Zhang Chun's 4,000 cavalry was not as many as the cavalry of the Han army.
However, he had a lot of infantry troops, far exceeding the number of Han troops, so Zhang Chun felt that if he fought against the enemy, as long as the infantry army was not chaotic, the Han cavalry would not be able to take him.
Guo Peng persuaded the sect members to let the sect members defend the city, and he led the troops to battle.
Guo Peng personally led 10,000 infantry troops to array, and the Xiahou brothers and Guo Lie Zhao Yun led 10,000 cavalry to gather on the left and right flanks of the army, preparing to meet Zhang Chun.
According to estimates, they learned that Zhang Chun dispatched 30,000 troops to fight, and the Han army was small in number, and the opponent had a large number and had the advantage. However, judging from the army's combat effectiveness and combat experience, the army under Guo Peng's command threw them a few streets.
The coerced people's militia, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, all fought with a momentum, although the momentum was huge, but after all, it did not become a climate, and in the end it failed to shake the rule of the Han Empire, but contributed to the rise of Gongsun Chan and others.
Right now, it's contributing to its own rise.
Guo Peng looked at the untidy formation of the rebels, and had a bottom in his heart.
With no experience in a large army-level war against the enemy, Guo Peng himself is embarrassed to say that he is a famous general.
A general who can command a war at the level of a large army of more than 10,000 people is a real general, and Guo Peng has always regarded Lu Zhi as his idol in this regard.
Whether he has that level or not, and whether he is enough to grow to the point where he can be independent, Guo Peng needs to test himself through many wars.
There are ambitions, desires, and means, but can their own strength keep up?
"Lord, you can get started."
Cheng Li put on his helmet and armor, and followed Guo Peng on a horse.
Guo Peng nodded, took a deep breath, and gave the military order for the whole army to advance.
The war drums rumbled, and the Han army formation slowly moved forward, orderly, and did not appear flustered, and converged into a loud sound step by step, which contained enough momentum to deter the enemy.
Zhang Chun saw Guo Peng advancing, and immediately ordered the whole army to advance, but the momentum on his side was much weaker, the pace was not uniform, and he walked crookedly, giving people a feeling that his spiritual qi could not be twisted into a rope.
This feeling is very bad on the battlefield, and if you lose your momentum to the enemy, you will lose one move first, which will bring variables to the army's will to fight.
Secondly, it is the elite of the army and the degree of trust in the generals.
Guo Peng's requirements for the state and county garrisons are not high, as long as they form a military formation to withstand the impact of the other party, Guo Peng's decisive point is on the cavalry.
He had to use cavalry to deal with Zhang Chun's infantry formation, and before that, he had to defeat Zhang Chun's cavalry and cut off Zhang Chun's retreat.
He could confirm that Zhang Chun's cavalry could not compete with him in terms of cavalry and archery.
Of the 10,000 cavalry he brought out, 3,000 were his own cavalry and 7,000 were Karasuma cavalry, all of whom were good at riding and shooting, and all of them could ride and shoot.
Even if the opponent's 4,000 people can ride and shoot, they are not as good as themselves in number, if they can't ride and shoot, then it's even better, they can be killed by playing horse shooting.
Zhang Chun noticed that Guo Peng's cavalry was numerous, so he felt that he had to rely on infantry to win.
As long as his infantry can defeat Guo Peng's infantry army, then even if Guo Peng's cavalry wins, he must withdraw his troops, Zhang Chun only hopes that his cavalry can resist until Guo Peng's infantry is defeated.
And Guo Peng himself is in the large array of the infantry army, he saw the banner of the main general, if he can defeat Guo Peng's infantry army and force Guo Peng to retreat, as long as his main general's banner retreats, he will win.
Zhang Chun was ready for battle, and with a wave of his hand, the two army formations advanced side by side, and began to attack first.
When Guo Peng saw that the opponent's infantry began to attack, he first ordered the cavalry to start attacking Zhang Chun's cavalry from both flanks.
According to Guo Peng's order, the Xiahou brothers and Zhao Yun and Guo Lie led the cavalry on both wings and began to move towards the cavalry on both wings of Zhang Chun's army, attacking Zhang Chun's cavalry from the flank and destroying his mobility.
Defeat Zhang Chun's cavalry first, and then slowly torture his infantry.
On his side, 9,000 are all state and county soldiers and cantonment soldiers, and only 1,000 are the elite infantry formed by Guo Peng's cavalry dismounting, which is the core force to protect himself and the core force to maintain the Chinese army's large array from collapsing.
Anyway, the spears are the same for everyone, and the comparison is who can maintain the military formation better, who can keep their formation more chaotic, and play with each other.
This is the time to show the training and the prestige of the generals.
Guo Peng ordered the infantry army formation to step forward and face Zhang Chun's infantry army formation.
The two sides formed a complete military formation, launched an attack on the opposite military formation, holding spears against the big shield and roaring close to each other, and at the moment of the head-to-head confrontation, contradictions intersected, and a large amount of blood burst out.
Some Han soldiers were stabbed to death by the rebels, and some rebels were stabbed to death by the Han army, although most of the rebels were coerced into chaos, but if they really went to the battlefield, they might not be under the Han army if they stabbed with spears, and the Han army was not an elite division.
These Han infantry were not strong divisions that had been rigorously trained by Guo Peng, and they were not extremely trained like the cavalry trained by Guo Peng.
Many of them are local garrisons and county soldiers, in fact, they are not far from ordinary people, and they are often used as miscellaneous servants by the death of their commanders, but they are more familiar with weapons.
Neither side is a mighty division, the time has come to fight for numbers and luck and command, who has more numbers, who has better luck, and whose commander has stronger command ability, who can win in such a battle.
The spearmen on both sides were holding spears that pierced fiercely.
Yelling and stabbing alone.
Reckless stabbing.
Until he was stabbed to death, he was shouting as a distraction and removing the fear in his heart.
PS: Wow, don't you talk about Zhao Gao anymore! There are more people who climb up step by step, not just one Zhao Gao?
PPS: And although Zhao Gao is an internal servant, but not a eunuch, Zhao Gao is surnamed Zhao, is a distant relative of the Qin royal family, although the defeat is the same as the commoner, but he is a scholar of history and an official, from the grassroots all the way up, to get the trust of Qin Shi Huang, talented, and even assigned as the second teacher, Qin and Han dynasties, eunuchs, eunuchs, etc. only refer to officials who serve in the court, eunuchs or eunuchs are real eunuchs, the distinction between the two is very obvious, just like the distinction between gold and gold, it is obvious.
