In terms of campaign difficulty, this is an easy battle.

Why is it judged like this? Because the 230,000 people of the two armies are concentrated in this plain battlefield within a radius of dozens of miles, for the entire battlefield situation, the commander is close to a glance, and he only needs to defeat the enemy in front of him! Therefore, the difficulty of the battle can be called simple.

Like the battle of Guandu is divided into two battlefields, Guandu and Wuchao, the land spanning two or three hundred miles is of medium difficulty, like Zhuge Liang's six out of Qishan, and the battle for Weishu and Hanzhong in the future, the corps is cut by a complex formation, and the commander's order takes two or three days to reach the troops.

But that's not to say that this simple battle is easy to fight! Although the concentrated operation on the Great Plains is beneficial to the development of a large army like the Cao Army, it is also not conducive to the galloping of the Liangzhou Army's iron cavalry? Topographically, for both sides, they belong to the five places of Sun Tzu's Art of War! Just like the Battle of Gaugamela of Alexander the Great, this kind of terrain that is convenient for both sides will test the skills of the commanders of both sides!

As the strongest spear of Cao's army, Cao Cao's heavy cavalry tiger and leopard cavalry was not placed in the right army in the offensive position on the front line, but was placed at the end, directly next to Cao Cao's command of the Chinese army.

With 20,000 Xianbei light cavalry and more than 5,000 Liaodong cavalry, Wang Houbu was placed in the left army in the traditional defensive position, the front army of 70,000 was commanded by Xiahou Yuan, belonging to the heavy infantry corps of the Cao army, and the traditional offensive position of the right army was held by Xu Huang, in addition to more than 10,000 infantry, he also had about 10,000 Han cavalry and the mixed arms of the Wuhuan cavalry in the internal migration, but compared with Wang Hou's left road, Xu Huang's ability to attack the fortification was slightly weak.

There were also three chariots with a huge shape, drawn by eight war horses, also arranged in front of Wang Hou's left flank.

Similarly, as a combatant, the formation of the Guanzhong group lords is also a bit strange, facing the strongest Wang Hou's left army, Changli is on the right side of the offensive road, Ma Chao and Han Sui only put five or six thousand Qiang scattered cavalry, five thousand leather armor spear troops of the heavy infantry, and five thousand light infantry to recruit the Qiang people.

Also after the Chinese army suppressed a large number of infantry, Ma Chao's Liangzhou Iron Cavalry, the Huangzhong Cavalry led by Yan Xing, and the two best Guanxi cavalry corps of 20,000 people were all placed on the left road, commanded by Ma Chao himself.

Looks like they're going to play left hook.

However, it is divided into ten warlords, and it is not under the same command, and the disadvantages in the deployment of troops are really vividly reflected, Guanzhong is next to Xiliang, and the proportion of cavalry has reached three and a half percent, but it cannot be used together, and there are still nearly 10,000 cavalry mixed with the infantry of the Chinese army, which is because the warlords of each department are reluctant to use their own cavalry, for fear of being used as cannon fodder.

It is also for this reason that the Guanzhong Army, which took the initiative to meet the battle in the morning and arranged the large army formation, did not take the initiative to attack, but put on a defensive posture and gave up the position of taking the initiative to attack to Cao Jun.

Cao Cao, who didn't know what politeness was, was naturally even more polite at this juncture.

"Ordered to beg the thief! War! ”

Personally pressed from the Chinese army to the front army, rode on the chariot, and suddenly waved the Yitian Sword against the vast Guanzhong troops in front of him, Cao Cao roared out like a god of war.

The fierce sixteen-sided snare drum is played together! The heavy snare drums were extremely rhythmic, and the sergeants were all enthusiastic. Second Chinese Network

To the sound of drums, a large number of archers took the lead in running out of the ranks! With the trumpet, the neat bows and arrows were inclined thirty degrees towards each other, which was also a spectacle of the era of cold weapon sergeants, three rows of six thousand archers, all carrying heavy and shiny pulley steel arm bows in their hands.

The range of this thing is compared to the oak bow, the composite bow really does not occupy an advantage, and it is heavy, but two advantages, the production is simple, the mold is cast, and then it can be forged with a water hammer, and it is unified, there is no gap between the hands of no soldier, even if it encounters the humid and rainy weather in the south of the Yangtze River, there will be no situation where the bowstring bow arm becomes soft and cannot be shot.

With the third trumpet, the arrow rain crackled and fell in the formation of the Guanzhong army a hundred meters away, and the crackling sound was really like hail landing.

However, the effect is not too prominent, layers of wood, covered with cowhide and sheepskin, and the shape is extraordinarily like the Roman legion, the big shield hula suddenly spread out in front of the Guanzhong army, and the sharp three-edged arrows are basically blocked by these shields and pierced into the skin.

However, Cao Cao has long been mentally prepared for this, the on-site battle is not like a full-scale war, as soon as he looks up, the enemy's formation from a high perspective is clear at a glance, the arrow rain is just a test, testing the enemy's various columns of troops, standing on the chariot at both ends of the high, with the crystal binoculars that his baby daughter's dowry fooled, solemnly watching the reaction of the various units of the Guanzhong Army to receive arrows, Cheng Zhu behind his chest, Cao Zong suddenly slapped and stopped the archers' shooting, and the next second, a series of troops in his roll call, shouting and shouting also rushed out of the military formation.

The military array battle is not a hooligan fight, the two groups of people press up and fight to the death, the west to Caesar and Pompey when the Greek battle appeared reserve tactics, and the east, has already played the reserve to the extreme, a large number of knife platoon jumping soldiers with a more intense military drum sound, holding a round shield high on the head, as the first batch of vanguard to break the formation, roaring fearlessly against the Guanzhong army formation rushed to kill the past.

And behind, with the order to start the battle, the shield bearers of the front army raised the heavy wooden shields that were as tall as the people, and more than 70,000 heavy infantry shouted the trumpet, and advanced forward step by step neatly.

However, there are some extraordinary formations in this, a total of six troops are mixed in the army, the flags are particularly dense, eighteen short flags, the flag bearers are shoulder to shoulder side together, this time in the battle, two such flag forest troops against the knife platoon jumping soldiers and attacking together.

Facing the crackling arrow rain of the Guanzhong army, the sword and shield hand holding the round shield had to be responsible for protecting such a burdensome army, Cao Cao's hand was really incomprehensible.

In the left, center, and right armies, the Cao army occupied the advantage and offensive initiative on both sides, and at the same time as the Chinese army launched the attack, the two commanders of the two left route armies in Guanzhong and Kandong also issued the same order.

"Shoot these little maids!"

Standing on his eight-horse chariot, the green steel blade that pretended to be forced waved out violently, and the little tongue in Wang Hou's throat trembled during the roar, but he was thundering and raining, and his chariot did not move, as he roared, more than 20,000 Xianbei galloped out from the riding is whip prancing horse, and one by one they also roared with ghosts crying and howling, trembling heavy pulley bows or self-made horn tendon bows in their hands, and rushed to the right wing of the Guanzhong Army Those Qiang people scattered and rode to kill them.

During the months of confrontation, although they ate well and had wine every day, they made these herdsmen on the grassland gain some weight, however, this time was indeed a little boring, and they were about to vomit when they played poker.

And the left wing of the military formation, Ma Chao is much more affordable, personally led the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to charge against Xu Huang, more than 20,000 light cavalry while running wildly and roaring like a beast, while running, Ma Chao also weighed the egg thickness, heavy short gun in his hand, and looked at the fluttering Xu Zi banner opposite him with a particularly gloomy gaze.

In his pupils, his killing intent seemed to be flowing down.

In this battle, no one on either side can afford to lose!
