On the open plain, the two armies lined up against each other, flags flying, war horses neighing, and a great battle was about to begin.

Lu Zhi was observing Zhang Jiao's formation, and Zhang Jiao was also observing Lu Zhi's formation.

"Brother, the number of soldiers and horses in Lu Zhi's department is much smaller than ours, and it doesn't look as powerful as expected, and the number of cavalry is not much, so I'll lead the troops to battle, and my brother will just wait for my good news."

Zhang Liang followed behind Zhang Jiao and said slowly.

In the past two months, Zhang Liang followed Zhang Jiao to sweep most of Jizhou, and he had never lost a battle, and the Han army fled when he went, which nurtured his inexplicable self-confidence, and the whole person was inflated.

Zhang Jiao didn't think so.

The death of Ma Yuanyi and the exposure of the plan to rebel told Zhang Jiao that some people who said they would support him had betrayed him.

He had no choice but to rebel in advance and gain the initiative for himself, but he knew that if the other party was unprepared, he would not rashly expose his plan.

Zhang Jiao only hated himself for not seeing Tang Zhou's true face clearly, and he lost the dark line in Luoyang City and the loyal Ma Yuanyi in vain, and at that time, he was already difficult to ride a tiger and had to turn back.

On the contrary, there is still a glimmer of life, if you don't rebel, you will definitely die.

More than two months of attacking has given him some confidence in himself, and he believes that he can achieve results without the support of those men.

Occupy Jizhou and Hebei, even if you can't take Luoyang, you can confront Hanting across the river.

The plan to attack Luoyang had fallen through, and the Han court had already taken precautions, so Zhang Jiao had no idea of continuing to attack the land of Henan.

He worked hard to conquer Jizhou, thinking that he would divide one side and fight against the Han Court, so that his preparation for more than ten years was not in vain.

As for those believers in Henan......

Just buy time for me to dominate Hebei!

Therefore, Zhang Jiao has actually given up on overthrowing the Han court, and all he wants is to divide one side.

Therefore, he simply abandoned the Yellow Turban Army in the Nanyang area of Yingchuan, and went all out to march in Hebei to attack the counties and counties, expand the territory, and enhance the strength.

This strategy went very smoothly, and until the arrival of the Han court reinforcements Lu Zhisuo's troops, he had not been defeated once, and most of Jizhou had already arrived.

Perhaps, I am also a famous general.

Zhang Jiao sometimes ridiculed himself like this, mocking the corruption and incompetence of the Han Court.

This time, it was the famous Confucian general Lu Zhi who led the army.

Lu Zhi's hometown is in Fanyang County, not far from Zhang Jiao's hometown, Zhang Jiao knows his reputation, so he is somewhat jealous of him, and feels that Lu Zhi is not as easy to deal with as those mediocre and incompetent officials.

Therefore, he did not agree to Zhang Liang's request, but led his troops out of the camp and lined up to meet Lu Zhi with an absolute superiority of troops.

Although he was apprehensive, he also had a sense of self-confidence, and before the battle, he boosted his morale and used the Taiping doctrine to encourage believers and soldiers, which received a strong response from the latter.

The shouting and shouting shook the earth, and Zhang Jiao felt that under such a powerful situation, it was unlikely that he would be defeated.

And this shouting also made the Han army hear, and the Han soldiers showed a look of fear for this.

Guo Peng found this sign and immediately looked at Lu Zhi, and Lu Zhi's face did not change, and he pulled out the saber in his waist and raised it to the sky.

"Drumming !!"

The war drums of the Han army beat suddenly, and the rumbling war drums stimulated the nerves of every Han soldier.

Then, under the leadership of Lu Zhizhong's army, the Han army shouted a battle call.

The chorus of battle trumpets made the fear in the hearts of the Han soldiers gradually weaken, and the momentum gradually increased.

The momentum must not be weak, otherwise it is easy to collapse at the touch of a finger once the battle is engaged, and at that time it will not be able to be defeated, but it will definitely be defeated.

Defeat, a bit of a disciplined defeat, like the feeling of desperately trying to exit the battlefield completely after not being able to continue fighting.

There are even the kind of troops that fight desperately for the retreat of the army, so that it looks more like.

Such a person needs to have a lot of experience and command skills.

Lu Zhi wants to lead the army to carry out the battle plan, then the deputy general will become the commander of the palace troops, and will lead the palace troops to buy time for the retreat of the army until the task is completed.

The sect member said that he would definitely complete the task successfully.

To tell the truth, such a task is indeed playing with life, and the superior forces of the Yellow Turban Army that are frantically pursuing on top of it, it is possible that the whole army will be annihilated if it is not good, but for the sake of the overall situation, some sacrifices are necessary.

At this moment, the Han army was in strict formation, and Lu Zhi erected his handsome flag and declared his existence.

The Yellow Turban Army also lined up its position and unfolded the formation, and the Chinese army erected the banners of "General Tiangong" and "General Rengong".

It seems that Zhang Liang is also there.

However, Guo Peng didn't have much heart to think about Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang, what kind of feeling was it to be in the midst of ten thousand troops, and then look at the enemy army that was twice as many as the troops on his side?

I've never seen so many people.

The black pressure is overwhelming, and you can't see the end from left to right, and you can't see the edge at a glance, as if there are all people on the other side, and there is a feeling of "how can you defeat so many people".

Guo Peng finally understood why the example of winning more with less was very rare in ancient times.

It's really the strength of the people, not to mention confrontation, just standing there and confronting each other, you can feel the huge pressure, and this pressure is obviously fatal.

The drumming of the Han army stopped abruptly, and the Yellow Turban Army began to beat drums and shout, far surpassing the Han army.

Intuitive feelings.

Guo Peng couldn't help but feel a little afraid and the urge to retreat, let alone an ordinary Han army.

Indeed, the Han army once again wavered to a certain extent.

At this time, Lu Zhi was still calm, his face did not change, he raised his sword again, the war drums of the Han army sounded again, and the battle horn shouted again, shouting against the Yellow Turban Army.

In the back, it became a formation of crazy shouting to hide fear, and tens of thousands of people shouted loudly to naturally form a momentum, and the two sides launched the first round of the contest with such momentum.

The result of the contest was a tiebreaker, because everyone's throat was uncomfortable.

Zhang Liang rode on his horse and said to Zhang Jiao: "Brother, the Han soldiers are panicking, we should take the initiative to attack at this time." ”

Zhang Jiao nodded slowly.

"Okay, beat the drums, blow the horns, and the front army will be dispatched!"

The drums of war sounded, the horns sounded, and the three infantry phalanxes and one crossbow plakatan of the Yellow Turban Army began to march, with a number of about 5,000 people.

While marching, shouting slogans, two steps and one stop drinking, two steps and one stop drinking, forming an extremely strong might, like a carnivorous beast rushing towards it.

This kind of power, the new recruits who are on the battlefield for the first time really can't bear it, and it is easy for their legs to tremble and collapse.

Collapse before fighting, or collapse at the touch of a button.

What will Lu Zhi do?

Guo Peng tightened the spear in his hand and looked at Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi responded calmly, with no expression on his face, clenched the ring knife in his hand and pointed forward.

"The front army is marching!"

A short drum beat sounded, causing flags to swing and trumpets to blow.

The phalanx formed by the elite sword and shield soldiers and gunners of the front army of the Han army began to advance, and the crossbowmen, who were more numerous than the Yellow Turban Army, also began to advance under the cover of the shield soldiers, and when they advanced to a certain distance, the drumbeat of the advance suddenly stopped.

The Han army phalanx stopped advancing, and the Han crossbowmen had already stood still, bent their bows and arrows, and then decisively released their arrows under the command of the officers.

The Han army attacked first.

Arrows rained down, knocking down a large number of Yellow Turban soldiers who lacked shields and armor for a while.

There was a slight disturbance in the Yellow Turban Army's military formation, and Zhang Jiao saw that it was not good, and immediately ordered the Yellow Turban Army to advance at full speed, and the crossbowmen immediately launched a counterattack.

It's a pity that the Yellow Turban Army has few crossbowmen, short training time, poor shooting skills, and problems with the coordination between foot soldiers and crossbowmen.

Their combat skills and combat equipment were far less powerful than those of the elite of the Han army, which was a professional soldier, and this disadvantage could not be compensated for by two months of good wind.

It took three years for Guo Peng to train thirty cavalry and hundreds of infantry before they could be regarded as elite soldiers, and these had only rebelled for two months, and some of the Yellow Turban Army who had not even killed anyone could be the elite opponents of the Han army?
