Solving the 50,000 grass robbers is a test for Zhang Xian, after all, this is the first time he has led a team to go on an expedition, before it was the Jin army that was defeated under the command of Yue Fei, this time he has to lead the cavalry to defeat the 50,000 grass robbers, every link must not be wrong, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

If 50,000 well-trained, disciplined, and brave infantry had been deployed in advance, 8,000 cavalry would not have been able to defeat the infantry. But if it is in the field and encounters it suddenly, it is difficult to say, after all, the mobility and impact of the cavalry are not something that the infantry can resist.

Luofengpo, this inconspicuous place, is destined to have a classic battle example, 8,000 cavalry slaughtered 50,000 infantry, this battle, it seems to be destined by God, even God is powerful, heavy rain from the sky greatly increases the speed of infantry marching, encountering cavalry that is an absolute nightmare.

The rain also had an effect on the cavalry, that is, the cavalry could not play an advantage in cavalry shooting, and the physical strength was quickly exhausted and the endurance was insufficient. But it was the infantry that did the most damage, and the infantry was already moving slowly, so the speed would be even slower. The most important thing is that the most effective weapon for infantry to block cavalry is crossbow arrows, which are difficult for bows and arrows to play to their advantage under the influence of bowstring hands in the rain.

A total of 6,000 people from the Benlei Army, the Wolf Army, and the Destruction Army quietly waited for the arrival of the rebels on the top of the Luofeng Slope, while the Wind Shadow Army gave up riding and shooting this time, but carried out the task of outflanking, and wanted to completely defeat the rebels by flanking them back and forth.

After the 50,000 rebels set off from Gaizhou, a problem that should not have happened, the contradictions between the four generals were infinitely magnified, these four guys each led 10,000 elite soldiers, due to the bad relationship with each other, when they marched, they actually took care of each other, and pulled the whole team very long, very long, not only that, but Niu Wenzhong, a guy who was greedy for enjoyment, fell at the end, as if he was not going to the rescue, but to go on vacation, and even brought a few beauties. You must know that when the army goes on the march, it is taboo in the army to take women, but he doesn't care, he knows pleasure all day long.

It's not that Niu Wenzhong doesn't know the depths, the key is that he is dissatisfied with King Jin's defection to the Jin army, and he can't intervene, so he has a feeling of self-abandonment. On weekdays, Niu Wenzhong was loyal to the King of Jin because he married the county lord, and he was also an iron buddy with the second king Tian Bao. However, in his bones, he still didn't want to be a traitor and didn't want to take refuge in the Jin Army.

Niu Wenzhong is a person who reads ancient books, and he is still somewhat sensible. The King of Jin rebelled, and the imperial court almost never encircled and suppressed it on a large scale, and basically let it develop. However, now that he has taken refuge in the Jin Army, the imperial court will definitely not ignore it, and will definitely encircle and suppress it. No, Qin Guogong, known as the jade-faced god of war, personally led the team to the battle, how could the king of Jin not fall.

You must know that Qin Guogong is the idol of Niu Wenzhong and even all the people who lead troops in the Great Song Dynasty, he doesn't want to fight with his idol, of course, he can't beat the other party. Under the influence of a variety of complex feelings, Niu Wenzhong became self-defeating, and began to get drunk and dream of death in the gentle township, and did not think about whether there would be a future, which is why he pretended not to see the reason why Siwei would be full of contradictions.

Xiong Wei Yu Yu Lin is a guy with well-developed limbs, a simple mind, easy to be impulsive, and a short temper. He wanted to make meritorious service and become the head of the four generals, this time the rescue, he was proactive, originally the 10,000 soldiers and horses under the command of this guy were the last, but he rushed to the front.

Xiong Wei Yu Yulin's reckless advance completely angered Fang Qiong, the head of the four Wei generals, this guy has always been arrogant, and he didn't take Xiong Wei Yu Yulin, a simple-minded guy, in his eyes at all. This time, seeing Xiong Wei rushing to the front of Yulin, he was so angry that he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and when he lost his mind, he actually did the most stupid thing to get it, so that the team slowed down its march, and finally ranked behind the four generals.

In the eyes of Fang Qiong, the general of Qiwei, in the face of powerful officers and troops, rushing to the front is undoubtedly sending him to death, since Xiong Wei will send Yulin, a fool, to death, so why not do it?

Zhang Xian saw the rebels coming from a distance through the clairvoyant eyepiece, and he found that the front of this group of rebels was too long, and it didn't look like a front of 50,000 troops, but a front of more than 100,000. Procrastination on the march is a taboo in the army, and once such a team is attacked, it is difficult to form an effective combat force in a short time. However, this also increases the difficulty of encirclement and suppression, if the queue is too long, once it is attacked and cannot withstand it, it will form a collapse of the whole line.

Soon Zhang Xian had an idea, and he asked the herald to inform the Wind Shadow Army to choose the time to attack the rebel rear army, and he didn't need to take into account the battle of the army, and he could attack the rebels alone. At the same time, Zhang Xian also adjusted the order and rhythm of the three armies.

Impact, the leader is the wolf army, in the drifting heavy rain, the wolf army wearing a wolf mask is like a demon in the dark world, in the rapid rush level, it will give people a kind of hell ghost-like shock, from the psychological defeat of the enemy.

With the roar of a wild wolf, the two thousand wild wolf army rushed towards the rebels like a wild wolf coming down the mountain. With the help of the height of the hillside, the group of guys rushed very quickly, and soon rushed in front of the rebels. Before the rebels could prepare, the two armies collided heavily.

The infantry that did not arrange the formation in advance encountered the cavalry of the high-speed impact, which was undoubtedly slaughtered, and could not organize a strong counterattack in a short time, so it could only respond passively.

The war horse stepped over the corpses of the rebels and continued to advance rapidly, and the spears in the hands of the cavalry quickly pierced into the bodies of the rebels, and almost everywhere they went, the corpses were strewn all over the field. The long knife was raised high, and the head fell to the ground where the knife passed.

The blood was diluted by the heavy rain, and the corpses were trampled unscrupulously by the war horses. Although the rebels numbered 10,000, their command was out of order, and they fought on their own, allowing the cavalry to run rampant with impunity, unable to organize a defense at all.

However, after all, it was 10,000 rebels, five times the number of the wolf army, and after surviving the initial panic, the encirclement of the wolf army was gradually formed. It's just that the encirclement doesn't have the slightest sense of hierarchy, just relying on the accumulation of a large number of people, this loose encirclement can't pose any threat to the wild wolf army, but only increases the difficulty of the slaughter, the physical exertion begins to increase, and the casualties gradually appear, after all, the two fists are difficult to defeat the four hands, and the heroes can't stand the crowd.

Just when the rebels realized the encirclement, the devastating army rushed down like tigers descending from the mountain, and this group of tigers was even more terrifying than the previous wolves, and immediately rushed the rebels' encirclement.

Xiong Weiyu Yulin is really a bear goods, this guy is brave, he is infinitely powerful, but he is only infinitely powerful, he has no brains at all, he didn't think about organizing soldiers to defend and surround the enemy, but he rushed forward stupidly and wanted to play with the enemy.

How many lives can a brainless person have to play on the battlefield? Less than a quarter of an hour after the start of the battle, Xiong Wei's huge head was cut off.

The rebels were even more chaotic at this time, and the whole army began to show signs of collapse, and a large number of soldiers began to flee in all directions.

Just when the front army was about to collapse on the whole front, Pi Wei killed An Shirong's 10,000 left army and Biaowei's 10,000 right army of Chu Heng on the left and right, trapping the wolf army and the destruction army in the center.

In the face of rebels who are several times their size, whether it is the Wild Wolf Army, which is good at raiding, or the Destruction Army, which is good at destroying battles, can only fight hard. However, the two armies, as if they had a spirit in their hearts, went on a rampage, one rushing back and forth, and the other assaulting left and right. Although the number of people was far smaller than that of the enemy, the casualties were not very large. It was mainly a strong assault of the cavalry, which did not encounter strong resistance from the rebels.

The rebels were simply encircled, relying on a large number of people to trap the cavalry in the center, and in fact the lethality was extremely limited.

Although the Wild Wolf Army and the Destruction Army were trapped in the center, Zhang Xian did not have the slightest intention of ordering the Benlei Army to rush and kill, he was waiting, waiting for the rebels' rear army to press up, only at that time, the impact of the Benlei Army's thunderous momentum could completely defeat the enemy.

Zhang Xian said to the three heads of the Benlei Army, Fang Kai, and Chen Sen: "After the three of you go down in a while, you will take your own men to kill the generals of the rebels, complete the task, be promoted to one level, and the bounty will be 3,000 yuan." ”

Liu Jiajun's biggest killer feature is a huge bounty, which is Liu Zhenglong's concept, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, especially on the battlefield, soldiers are more willing to fight for the bonus. As for what is fighting for His Majesty, it is all nonsense, and there is no use for eggs.

The four generals are all riding horses, of course, they are the only ones among the rebels who ride horses, and it is difficult to say whether they are riding horses or mules, but there are mounts anyway, so they are very recognizable, and they don't look good at all.

At this time, the head of the four generals, Fang Qiong, led 10,000 rear troops to kill, no matter how sharp the contradictions are on weekdays, on the battlefield, everyone is still the robe brothers.

After the rear army joined the war group, Zhang Xian ordered the Benlei army to attack.

Armed to the teeth, the Benlei Army rushed down the Fengpo like a torrent of steel, recklessly attacking the rebels. This group of heavily armed guys is going on a rampage like a heavy tank.

The Ben Lei army rushed down not to entangle with the rebels, nor to kill the enemy, but to rush forward, that is, to break the formation of the rebels and disrupt the enemy's deployment.

Liu, Fang Kai, and Chen Sen led their subordinates to rush over when they saw their respective targets. Although the rebels noticed that something was wrong, they could not stop the steel monster armed to the teeth.

When he saw a small group of heavily armored cavalry rushing towards him, his first reaction was to flee, and he didn't care about the life or death of the soldiers.

If you want to run, it's not that easy. Liu was eager to make meritorious contributions, this guy was the first to kill him, and the Ben Lei Army chased after him. Liu Zhi's departure from the team was just a small episode for the cavalry, but Pi Wei separated An Shirong from the team, and then the 10,000 left army became headless flies, and the whole line collapsed immediately.

Not long after the collapse of the left army, the right army could not hold on, and Chen Sen took off the head of the mighty general Chu Heng. At this moment, the front, left, and right armies all collapsed. Only the rear army of Fang Qiong, the general of Yiwei, was struggling to support, you must know that under the impact of the three armies of the Benlei Army, the Destruction Army, and the Wolf Army, the rebels could not organize a strong and effective defense at all, and they could only let the cavalry attack unscrupulously, and the casualties were constantly increasing.

Fang Qiong, the head of the four powerful generals, is by no means in vain, this Fang Qiong is really capable, he led his own soldiers to entangle Fang Kai to the death, and the more he fought, the more brave he became, there was no sign of defeat. And commanded a thousand soldiers to complete the encirclement of this hundred Benlei army, and trapped Fang Kai in the center.

Fang Kai didn't expect Fang Qiong's combat strength to be so strong, he was annoyed when he fell into a bitter battle, feeling that he was too light on the enemy, and if he didn't do it, he would die at the hands of the other party.

Just when Fang Qiong was about to win, a wolf's tooth arrow burst through the air and stabbed this guy in the back of the heart impartially. Seeing that the enemy was hit by an arrow, Fang Kai rushed over and cut off Fang Qiong's head.

The 40,000 rebels collapsed on all fronts without being commanded. Zhang Xian did not order the pursuit, but let the Destruction Army take the lead and go to the aid of the Wind Shadow Army as quickly as possible.

Zhang Xian knew that Niu Wenzhong was capable, and the two thousand Wind Shadow Army itself had the resilience to attack tough battles, and this encounter was destined to be a vicious battle, and if it could not be rescued in time, it was likely that there would be defeat.

Sure enough, despite the fact that the battle started half an hour later than the previous army, the Wind Shadow Army still encountered stubborn resistance from the rebels. Two thousand Wind Shadow troops were trapped in the center by ten thousand rebels.

Under the command of Niu Wenzhong, the 10,000 rebel army has achieved layer upon layer encirclement, and the lack of heavy armor and lack of momentum in the storm shadow army is surrounded by layers of rebels, at most to achieve self-protection, and it is almost impossible to break through.

If it weren't for the fact that it was difficult for bows and arrows to exert their power in the heavy rain, the two thousand Wind Shadow Army would have been wiped out by the rebels long ago. Despite this, the pressure on the Wind Shadow Army is still very high. Relying on the impact of the war horse, rampage, you can ensure that you are not despicable to encircle and annihilate, but you can never rush out of the encirclement. As time passed, the casualties of the Wind Shadow Army increased. Dutong Zhao Bin has organized seven assaults, but he has never been able to break through the encirclement of the rebels.

Just when Zhao Bin organized the eighth breakout, the Destruction Army, which bore the brunt of the attack, rushed in from the outside, and quickly rushed into the encirclement, and it was logical to achieve a round with the Wind Shadow Army, and the two armies fought side by side. Although he was still in the encirclement, he stabilized his position and began to break through strongly.

The Wild Wolf Army and the Benlei Army rushed over one after another, and the rebels collapsed on all fronts.

Niu Wenzhong led his own troops to run north, but how could Zhang Xian allow this kind of thing to happen? He personally led the Wind Shadow Army to catch up.

"Niu Wenzhong, you are also a man who stands up to the sky, how can you bear to take refuge in the Jin Army? You surrender, Qin Guogong said, give you a chance to make contributions. ”

"I, Niu Wenzhong, don't want to be a traitor, but the King of Jin is as kind to me as a mountain, and I will not betray the King of Jin." Niu Wenzhong waved the Eight Treasure Dragon Spear in his hand and rushed towards Zhang Xian.

Zhang Xian saw that Niu Wenzhong was a well-known man, and he couldn't bear to hurt him, but Niu Wenzhong was determined to die. During more than a dozen rounds of fighting, Zhang Xian's spear pierced Niu Wenzhong's chest.

At this point, the 50,000 rebels were all wiped out, more than 30,000 were killed, and the rest fled in all directions, and the casualties of the second army of this Longwei army exceeded 1,000, which made Zhang Xian's heart ache, he was thinking that if it didn't rain heavily, if the Flame Army was there, and rearranged the tactics, maybe the casualties would not be so big, but unfortunately there would be no ifs in this world.

The 50,000-strong army was annihilated, and Gaizhou was in front of him.

Gaizhou didn't need to attack, Mo Zhen and others opened the city and surrendered.

By the time Liu Zhenglong led the Flame Army into Gaizhou, it was already the ninth day of the ninth month of September.

The ninth day of the ninth month of September is the Double Ninth Festival, and this day is destined to be an extraordinary day. On this day, Hua Rong led the first army of the Longwei army to conquer Fenyang, on this day Hebron led the army to meet the Jin army in Wuzhou, on this day the Jin army arrived on the north bank of the Yellow River, on this day, the 200,000 troops in the west were assembled and officially declared a war against the Jin army. At this point, the war on the Western Front broke out in an all-round way, and the Jin army's combat strength on the Western Front was obviously insufficient, which created a big problem for the Jin Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai.

The dispatch of troops from Western Liao, which was completely out of Jin's expectations, is now fighting on both the eastern and western fronts, and the war is in a state of stalemate, if this situation cannot be changed in a short time, then the entire war situation will be uncontrollable.

Wanyan Wu Qimai finally decided to send another 100,000 troops to Marshal Wanyan Xianye, so that he could reverse the unfavorable situation of the war as soon as possible, and he must not fight on three fronts.

Marshal Wan Yan Xian didn't expect that Western Liao would insert a lever, but he didn't care very much about using soldiers like a god, and he also knew where the key to breaking the game was, as long as the eastern front broke through the Yellow River, besieged Bianliang City, and forced the Great Song Emperor to submit, then the problems of the eastern and western fronts could be solved. As for Xiliao, it's just a clown jumping beam.

Marshal Wan Yan Xian also sent someone to give a death order to Wan Yan Zongwang, the commander of the Eastern Front, that Bianliang must be besieged within two months, and at the same time, he also ordered Wan Yan Zonghan, the commander of the Western Front, to avoid his edge, avoid the Western Liao army, and not to engage with it.

After the arrangements were ready, Marshal Wan Yan Xian also personally led 100,000 elites to the west, and he wanted to defeat the Western Liao army in one fell swoop. Behind this, there is a bigger conspiracy, that is, after defeating the Western Liao army, it will invade Western Xia strongly. In this way, you can flank Liu Zhenglong's Liu Jiajun with the Jin Army on the Western Front.

The Western Liao army is divided into two routes, the first route is led by Xiao Hulira, the king of the Southern Court of Western Liao, who was originally attacking Western Xia, and the second route army is led by Yelu Yilie, the crown prince of Western Liao, and the princess Yelu Pusuwan, occupying Yunzhou.

Yelu Yilie and Xiao Hulira have always been at odds, and they don't know how the wise and wise Emperor Yelu Dashi of Western Liao could make such an absurd decision. In other words, the foundation of Western Liao is not stable, and the country is in turmoil, and there is indeed no more suitable person to go on the expedition. In terms of strength, Xiao Lili is the best military commander in Western Liao, after all. However, after all, Xiao Lira died the nobles of the Xi clan, and the current Western Liao is not the Great Liao of the year, in the diplomatic war tens of thousands of miles away from the Western Liao, what if Xiao Lili has bad intentions and directly leads the army to break away from the Western Liao? Yelu Yilie, the crown prince, is the existence of a supervising army, of course, this guy himself is also a first-class general, and he also has the ability to take charge of himself, otherwise, Yelu Dashi would not let him go on the expedition. Besides, there is also a Bing Xue smart behind this, and Yelupu, who is familiar with military books and war strategies, quickly completed his plans, and on the surface, it seems foolproof.

The ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny. Yelu Dashi's idea is very good, but it is only a good idea. Whether it is Xiao Lira or Yelu Yilie, they can only be said to have the strength to take charge of their own affairs and are excellent military commanders, but the key depends on what kind of opponent they are.

On the side of the Great Song Dynasty, there is Liu Zhenglong, the prince of Qin who is the god of war with a jade face, but on the side of the Jin State, he is a military master who has not met in a century, and he easily destroyed the marshal of the Liao State. If Xiao Lili had the ability to defeat Wanyan Xianye, there would be no destruction of the Liao State, and he would not let Yelu Dashi flee thousands of miles west.

The Western Liao army marched out of Yunzhou in two ways, and Xiao Lili was marching step by step, advancing layer by layer, and gradually expanding the victory. And Yelu Yilie is violent, constantly advancing the front to the Jin country, which can be said to be unstoppable.

On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, this day was destined to change, and Liu Zhenglong, the Duke of Qin, wanted to take the lead in the Three Kingdoms with extremely foresightful planning. He secretly ordered Wang Jin to prepare for an attack, as long as the news of the defeat of Yeluyi's army came, he would take Yunzhou as soon as possible, completely cut off the return of this Western Liao army, and forced the Western Liao army to fight to the end with the Jin army.

In fact, at the beginning of the plan to let Liu Farang come out of Yunzhou, Liu Zhenglong expected that as long as the Western Liao attacked the Jin State, then with the character of Wanyan Wu begging, he would definitely send troops to block it, and the one who sent the troops must be the master tactician Wanyan Xianye.

It is only a matter of time before Wanyan Xieye's army defeats the Western Liao army, since the Western Liao army is defeated, then it is better to stay here and fight with the Jin army, as for Yunzhou, it is ironclad to take it back.

Based on Liu Zhenglong's understanding of Wanyan Xianye, this tactician's western expedition is definitely not as simple as defeating the Western Liao army, and the next step is to invade Western Xia. To put it bluntly, it is to hold off Liu's army in the northwest and create conditions for the Jin army on the eastern front to attack the Great Song Dynasty. After all, except for the Liu family's army, the rotten forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty could not stop the Jin Guotie cavalry.

Liu Zhenglong is not ready to fight to the death with Yan Xian, and Liu Jiajun has not experienced more baptism of war, and if he forcibly defeats the forbidden army, the casualties will be too great. This is Liu Zhenglong's efforts to play the Three Kingdoms, that is, to push the Western Liao army to the forefront, to ensure that the entire battle situation will not deteriorate.

The first battle at the beginning of the Three Kingdoms was on the Eastern Front, when the army led by Wanyan Xiebao approached Liyang, Liang Fangping, a guy who was greedy for life and afraid of death, chose to flee directly.

The commander Liang Fangping fled, and the 80,000 Song army suffered the most brutal killing, and the young general Wanyan Xiebao led the Jin cavalry to divide the 80,000 Song army with lightning speed, followed by the Liao Han army, the Khitan army, the Xi army, and the Goryeo army began to strangle the Song army.

The 80,000 Song troops on the north bank of the Yellow River were strangled and cleaned, and this battle was the beginning of the humiliation of the Great Song Forbidden Army, and it also sounded the death knell of the Northern Song Dynasty.

On September 19, the seventh year of Xuanhe, the Jin cavalry crossed the Yellow River without encountering any resistance, and He Guan, who was stationed on the south bank of the Yellow River, the first arrow of the Great Song Dynasty, fled without a fight, and 20,000 Song troops were slaughtered.
