Chapter Twenty-Six: Fighting Left and Fighting Right
Cheng Pu, Gao Shun, Cheng Lian and their more than 2,000 military horses and horses were not just judged. As a matter of fact, there is some scrutiny from top to bottom in the military.
There's a reason for that, of course.
It must be known that whether it is the commander Gongsun Xun, or Lu Fan, Lou Gui, Han Dang of the Chinese army, as well as those who have a higher status in Bai Mayi, of course, including Wei Yue, who has come out to lead the troops alone, they generally have a 'own people' attitude towards this army. And the chief general of this army, Cheng Pu, is not a fuel-efficient lamp, although he is outstanding, decent, and quite praised, but as soon as he arrived, this guy directly put himself and this army in the position of the cornerstone of the Chinese army under the command of Gongsun Xun, which is also speechless.
And Gongsun Xun just recognized it!
In other words, whether it is the generals of Youzhou or the Northern Army-Hanoi Knights, they are all a little surprised.
However, this may have been deliberately done by Gongsun Xun, and the war was approaching, and he was happy to see this kind of positive sense of competition in the army.
"Gentlemen." On the evening of this day, Gongsun Xun gathered all the generals and got straight to the point. "Judging Zhengnan personally came from the Yellow River today to report, Bu has led 20,000 troops, and the mighty has arrived at Cangting, if there is no accident, he will cross the river early tomorrow morning, and the strategy is divided, I don't know what else you can say?"
There was an unexpected moment of silence in the military tent, and Cao Mengde and Lou Zibo, who were the most jumping on weekdays, also pursed their lips and said nothing.
Cao Mengde was a little nervous, it was the first time he had experienced a war of this scale; As for Lou Gui, there is no need to say anything more, because the battlefield layout has actually been agreed on a long time ago, and it has even been assigned, and it is very simple!
Just as Liang Yuan and Liang Zhongning in Dongwuyang City thought, the Han army was ready to leave the infantry to rely on the camp to hinder the Yellow Turban Army in the city, and then the cavalry went out to wait for work, and defeated the Bu army that had just crossed the river from Cangting on the plain, and then turned back to defeat the enemy in front of Dongwuyang!
As for saying that the land of Dongwuyang crossed the Han army camp and ignored it, it would be better to do it, the cavalry first turned back and attacked the infantry in the battalion, and then went to the river to meet the battle.
And when more than 2,000 cavalry-based Bingzhou troops arrived, this battle seemed to have nothing to say...... It is conceivable that unless a meteorite falls from the sky, otherwise, just by virtue of the existence of these eight or nine thousand Han cavalry, it will be able to lock the so-called 'ten percent' in Gongsun Xun's mouth that day!
So in this case, is it necessary to say anything? In fact, Gongsun Xun is already ready to disband.
However......
"Prince!"
At this moment, a person suddenly flashed out of the tent, everyone raised their eyes together, and then they were vigilant, it turned out that this person was the chief general of the reinforcements in Bingzhou, Sima Cheng Pucheng Demou of the other department.
"What is Demou's opinion?" Gongsun Xun was also curious.
"Nothing else." Cheng Pulu was clad in armor, sonorous and powerful, and replied proudly. "It's just a fight."
"Since you're here, can you still guard the camp with the infantry?" Under the candlelight, Gongsun Xun, who was sitting behind a few cases, immediately smiled. "Tomorrow, let Wenchao (Gongsun Yuezi) and Yigong hold a white horse and Yicong as the superintendent of the war, your department is my Chinese army, and how about watching the virtue and the heroic posture of Su Qing to break the enemy?"
"The kindness of the prince and the prince is popular, and the generals of the state are naturally impressed." Cheng Pu still replied proudly. "It's just that our department has just arrived, and it hasn't made an inch, so it's so assigned, I'm afraid that the army will not accept it!"
Gongsun Xun raised his eyes and looked, sure enough, except for Guan Yu, who had never been convinced by anyone, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Zhao Zhao, Yang Kai, and the officers of the Northern Army, and even Xiahoudun and Le Jin, who were standing behind Cao Cao, all had different expressions...... It can be seen that what Cheng Pu said is not false.
Seeing such a situation, Gongsun Xun first sighed, and then immediately comforted him: "What's the matter? They don't know your credit, don't I know? In the battle of Danhan Mountain, I was in danger with the princes of Bingzhou, but you all desperately moved forward, burned Danhan Mountain, and sneaked with me who was injured and unconscious for a few days and returned to Han...... Is it just a lie that I live and die with all you? β
Hearing the words of living and dying together, the generals in the tent who remembered the previous oath swore a little pale, but Cheng Pu still stood in the center of the tent and did not retreat: "The prince, there is no need to say much between us and the prince, but it cannot be shown if we are despised, I am afraid that all the people in the tent are also unconvinced. β
"What does Demou mean?" Gongsun Xun was curious.
"I discussed it with a few Qu Junhou under the account." Cheng Pu said frankly. "If you want to divide the army into two, let Cheng Lian lead a thousand newly recruited cavalry, and go to the Yellow River with the prince to meet the enemy, leaving a thousand elite veterans, abandon the horse and fight on foot, and then I and Gao Suqing will personally take it, stay and block the moth thieves in the city!"
As soon as the words fell, Cui Sima of the Northern Army, who had made a special distinction before, couldn't help but sneer: "A thousand elites, hundreds of people in armor, and relying on a completely garrisoned camp, I can also hold it back if I replace it...... Prince, please add any Yandi cavalry song with me, gather enough 1,000 people, and I will also ask for battle, dismount and block the moth thieves in the city! The prince went to the riverbank to break the thief! β
Without waiting for Gongsun Xun to speak, Cheng Pu didn't even look at this person, and continued to speak: "What I said is a field battle!" I want to line up outside the camp with 1,000 large shields, short blades, and spears and crossbows, and block the 20,000 thieves in the city! β
As soon as these words came out, starting with Cui Sima, almost all the generals in the tent changed color, even Gongsun Xun was also shocked, and then bowed his head and said nothing.
You must know that field warfare is not the same thing at all as being held in a camp, okay?
And others don't care, Lou Gui saw that Lu Fan glanced at him, so he was ready to say something to ease the matter, in order to stop the matter.
But before he could speak, Gongsun Xun suddenly raised his head and smiled: "Demou and Su Qing are so brave, how can I frustrate my spirit?!" β
Lou Guiden was in a hurry, and he shouted directly regardless of his identity: "The prince and the prince don't want to treat the military as a child's play!" β
Even Cao Cao couldn't help but persuade him: "Why should Wen Qi be like this, this is a must-win game, why gamble with thousands of elite lives?" A thousand people in the formation may indeed be able to bear it, but once they can't bear it, the lives of these thousand people will be buried directly! β
"I'm not playing child's play." Gongsun Xun waved his hand to stop as he got up. "I mean...... Let Li Huizhi (Li Jin) and Le Wenqian (Le Jin) lead their respective subordinate soldiers, and still serve in the camp as a pick-up. And if Demou and Su Qing can achieve this great achievement, naturally there is no need to say much, if the matter is in danger, let Li and Le go to the rescue...... Isn't that foolproof? β
The crowd fell silent.
Gongsun Xun's meaning is very clear, the original plan remains unchanged, but he uses the surplus of reinforcements to set aside a piece of land for this group of people in Bingzhou, so that they can show their bravery!
With such an arrangement, I don't know if this Gongsun Zhonglang will have full confidence in this reinforcement army, and then prepare to use them to suppress the squeamishness of the rest of the army? Or are you going to let this merger state army recognize the reality and live in peace?
However, the two don't seem to contradict each other, how can they fit his Gongsun Xun's mind?
And besides, such an arrangement is not about the overall situation after all...... If it succeeds, the morale of the Han army will inevitably be greatly boosted, and if it fails, it will be covered up in a complete victory.
Why not?
Seeing that everyone was speechless, Gongsun Xun made a plan and reiterated it, and then waved his hand to let the generals retreat, recuperate and wait for tomorrow's battle.
Early the next morning, the Han army cooked early, had a full meal in the camp, and then sorted out their armor, distributed equipment, and tended their horses, and prepared for battle.
And in Dongwuyang City, Liang Yuan, who got the news and hurriedly came to see it, naturally guessed what was going on, so he also killed cattle and wine in the city, rewarded and comforted, and prepared to go out of the city and fight with Bu Ji's reinforcements to 'attack back and forth, and break the Han army'!
Needless to say, Bu has been eating a full meal since early in the morning, and then encouraging the whole army to prepare to cross the river. And that Wang Du was ashamed and brave, and he was even more prepared like the Han army, and built a pontoon bridge that was not as wide but practical as the Han army, which was praised again and again.
For a time, the Han army and the Yellow Turban army on both sides of the Yellow River had their own consciousness, and they all knew that the decisive battle was here, and they were all full of confidence!
In the morning, as the dozens of sentinels arranged last night waved their flags continuously, signaling that the Yellow Turban Army on the south bank had begun to cross the river, Gongsun Xun no longer hesitated, and immediately took Lu Fan as the remaining garrison to garrison the camp, taking the overall situation here, and then he and Cheng Pu would lead their troops out of the camp.
However, when the two armies were about to divide the north and south in front of the camp gate, Gongsun Xun suddenly stopped his horse and then turned over.
The generals were puzzled and had to dismount one after another.
"Ziheng." Gongsun Xun untied his saber and handed it to Lu Fan, who was staying in the camp. "This knife and you, I command it on the riverside, if someone here in Dongwuyang does not obey the order, you can dispose of it at will!"
The generals suddenly got along for a long time, and everyone knew that Lu Fan was the first trusted person of Gongsun Xun and his chief retainer, so they all had nothing to say, and Lu Fan, who was rarely in armor, also calmly stepped forward to take the knife...... The two have been together for a long time, and there is no need to say much.
However, just when everyone thought that was all there was to it, Gongsun Xun untied his dark satin cloak again and tied it to Cheng Pu in public, so everyone couldn't help but look sideways.
After Cheng Pu bowed his head and received the cloak, he hurriedly prepared to bow down and thank him for his kindness, but he was unexpectedly directly supported by the other party's shoulder.
"Demou!" Gongsun Xun held the other party's shoulders and said with a straight face. "I know that you have been stationed in Yanmen for a long time, and you have the heart to correct your name and the headquarters, so I didn't stop you. But you must know that my expectation for you is not just a brave general, but I hope that you can stand in the world as a serious general...... You know what I mean?! β
Cheng Pu was ashamed, but he could only give it up.
Gongsun Xun crossed the process, and actually came to the side of Gao Shun, who was silent, again, and then began to untie the fine iron armor he was covering outside...... Seeing this, Lou Gui hurriedly glanced at Han Dang and Yang Kai, and the latter immediately led people forward, one to help Gongsun Xun and the other to help Gao Shun, but he changed his armor neatly.
"Su Qing is not good at talking, so no one knows your reputation." After Gongsun Xun changed his clothes and armor, he also sighed heartily on his shoulders. "But I understand that you are innocent, well-governed, and a first-class general...... Anyway, there is no need to say much about the battle, this battle will watch you become famous! β
After that, Gongsun Xun no longer said much, but returned to his horse and went straight to the river. The two generals Cheng and Gao bowed down directly, and followed Gongsun Xun's white horse flag and cane umbrella cover for more than 100 steps, and then they turned around and went to Dongwuyang Chengnan Avenue.
It's May, and the weather is getting hotter, which is natural. However, on the banks of the Yellow River and south of Dongwuyang, the temperature has risen extremely fast in this narrow open space for more than 20 miles!
Before the sun rises three poles, everywhere is already hot!
"Bu Shuai has already arrived on the embankment!" At the head of Dongwu Yang City, Zhang Bo pointed to the river embankment and said tremblingly. "Arrayed."
"The public did not cross the river, but the public crossed the river! Crossing...... Crossing the river ......" Liang Zhongning looked at it from a distance, and under the sadness, he suddenly remembered a famous poem of Yuefu, but he didn't dare to recite it anymore until he was halfway through the silent recitation.
"Vice Marshal Liang." Zhang Bo asked reluctantly. "You said that the Han army led the cavalry to the riverside early...... If the cavalry is as good as you say...... Will Bu Shuai not wait for us? β
"Let's not talk about it." Liang Yuan held the battlements with one hand, but suddenly pointed to a team of Han soldiers and horses on the five or six miles of avenue in front of the south gate with the other, and said with a sneer. "Vice Marshal Zhang, what do you mean by Han Jun? I thought this man was here to shield the cavalry from leaving the camp, but now it's still here? More than 4,000 foot soldiers, more than 3,000 are waiting in the camp, and 1,000 are standing in the road...... Don't you look down on us, do you think that a thousand Han troops can stop us 20,000 in the wilderness?! β
"Deputy Marshal Liang, you don't even want to pay attention to Shuai Bu, not to mention that there are more than a thousand people here?" Uncle Zhang gritted his teeth and persuaded hard. "If you want me to say, just according to what you said when you saw the Han army increase before, don't pay attention to others, let's go out of the city with the whole army and fight hard."
"What Vice Marshal Zhang said is extremely true." Liang Yuan suddenly smiled evilly. "Let's go out of the city and fight hard, maybe we can bite off a piece of meat from the other generation in this battle!"
After that, this Liang Zhongning held the long sword in his hand, went down to the city proudly, and encouraged the group of small marshals from all walks of life gathered under the city, and these little marshals had also seen the main force of the Han army leaving the camp, and only a few thousand infantry remained, so they naturally became more and more confident, so they shouted and responded.
Uncle Zhang at the head of the city smiled bitterly, but after looking up at the Yellow Sky Banner above his head, he suddenly changed color, and then drew his knife, condescendingly, and shouted the slogan that had not been spoken for a long time to the commanders below:
"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand!"
From Liang Zhongning down, everyone under the wall was stunned, but they also woke up suddenly, and then shouted in unison under the leadership of Liang Zhongning: "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand!" β
Immediately, the city gate was opened, and 20,000 Yellow Turban troops poured out of the nest from the four gates, and rolled to the south of the city to assemble in formation.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand!" Almost at the same time, seeing that most of them had crossed the river, and the formation was barely stretched along the tall and wide embankment of the Yellow River, the Yellow Turban Army Yanzhou Qu Shuaibu, whose head was wrapped in yellow cloth, had already drawn his sword and raised it high, shouting this slogan on the embankment that had shaken the whole world in the previous two months.
What kind of prestige is Bu already in Dongjun? In the south and north of the county, on both sides of the Yellow River, how many Taiping Dao believers, and how many people in the eastern county rose up with hoes and sickles because of his prestige, killing officials and chasing officials, and responding to Huang Tian.
Therefore, Bu has already shouted on the golden embankment of the Yellow River, and the people around him shouted, and on the pontoon bridge in the middle of the river, where Cangting in Henan Province has not crossed, and the main force of the Yellow Turban Army who is already trying to line up on the embankment is shouting, and its sound reverberates on both sides of the Yellow River!
Three miles south of the embankment, Cao Mengde, who had just experienced such a formation, was so frightened that his face turned white in an instant, so that he looked back again and again...... However, more than ten to twenty miles behind him, there was also smoke and dust billowing at this time, as if the Yellow Turban Army was also running in formation on the other side.
For a while, in fact, not to mention Cao Cao, the entire queue had been completed, and the cavalry formation that was dismounting to save horsepower was also a little commotion, and the officers on horseback couldn't stop it for a while.
Under the umbrella of the Chinese army, Gongsun Xun, who naturally didn't need to dismount, glanced back at the 'Wei Wu' on his side, but suddenly stretched out a hand: "Brother Meng De, I gave Ziheng a sword, and you lend me a sword." β
Cao Cao didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately untied his saber and offered it with both hands on the horse.
Gongsun Xun didn't take the knife directly, but he held the handle of the knife, directly drew the blade in Cao Cao's hand, and then waved the knife and pointed at the guard Sima Gongsun Yue not far from his side: "Gongsun Sima, pass on my military order, except for supervising the battle of Baima Yicong, after the order is passed ten times, from the cavalry lieutenant below, those who speak without permission and disturb the army's heart, behead; Those who move without permission and disrupt the formation will be killed; Those who retreat without permission and violate military orders will be beheaded! β
Gongsun Yue didn't dare to slack off, first received the order on the horse, and then personally ordered more than 100 white horses to leave the battle, and then galloped back and forth from the rear of the army, shouting orders!
Sure enough, as the herald shouted over and over again, the commotion in the military formation gradually subsided, and after cutting down a few cavalry who disobeyed the military order, only the sound of horses snorting could be faintly heard.
Cao Cao was so impressed when he saw this, he wanted to praise it. However, the words suddenly frightened in his throat - 'from the cavalry lieutenant below', does the package include the cavalry lieutenant himself?
As soon as he thought of this, although Cao Mengde, the commander of the cavalry, roughly felt that he was two thousand stones, and he was about to make a friend of this festival lieutenant, he would not be cut off because of a sentence, but he didn't dare to speak out after all.
The Yellow Turbans were outnumbered and loosely disciplined, so they were extremely slow to line up. When he shouted the slogan, he seemed to think that the formation was complete, but in fact, by the time the whole army crossed the river and lined up on the embankment, it was already a quarter of an hour later.
Bu had already ridden on a horse, condescendingly looking at the quiet Han cavalry formation three miles away, although he felt a little mad, but after looking at the smoke and dust under Dongwuyang City in the distance, he still mustered up confidence...... Ben immediately swung his sword and urged the army forward.
For a time, the embankment of the Yellow River was also full of smoke and dust, and the main force of the Yellow Turban Army, wrapped in yellow cloth, rolled up in dense yellow flags, and came towards the Han army formation in front of them.
Cao Cao was nervous, but Gongsun Xun didn't say a word, like a wood carving, and he didn't even give the order for the whole army to get on the horse.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the camp five miles away from Dongwuyang, Li Jin climbed the high hardwood fence of the camp, watching the billowing smoke and dust not far away stop at a place hundreds of steps in front of the thousand soldiers and horses, which was also like a wood carving.
In all fairness, Li Huizhi's mood at this time was very complicated.
First of all, he would love to see the defeat of this army.
Because he knows that this army is the old team of the main general Gongsun Xun in the army, if this army is completely wiped out or suffers heavy losses, then Gongsun Xun will definitely be heartbroken, if so, why is he unhappy?
Secondly, he was jealous of the army in front of him.
After all, after joining the army, Li Jin found that the combat effectiveness of his own clan soldiers was actually very good, at least it was very good to deal with those yellow turban thieves, and there was only a horse and some good equipment between him and the so-called Hanoi knights and the elite of the official army. When it comes to the quality of generals, he Li Jin is not inferior to those Youyan generals who are respected by Gongsun Xun, and he is even more confident than the so-called officers from the fifth school of the Northern Army. However, those officers and soldiers enjoyed such good treatment, and the officers were even more of this thousand stones, that six hundred stones, as if they didn't need money, but he, Li Jin, led 3,000 soldiers to fight bravely, but he was only a tun chief, and he had to take care of his own food, grass, and ordnance...... So, in the face of an elite of the court who was so relied on by Gongsun Xun, how could he not be resentful?
However, if this army fails, it means that its own soldiers will fight, and it means that the Li family's children will be damaged; And if the rescue is not timely, I am afraid that the Li family will also be retaliated against by Gongsun Xun...... How can this be accepted by Li Jin?
So, when we look forward to it, when we are jealous, when we are worried, when we are resentful, when we despise it...... When complex emotions are concentrated in a person's heart, it is no wonder that he can only be expressionless, like a wood carving!
"The whole army obeys the order!" In front of the dense Yellow Turban Army, Liang Yuan rode on a horse, waving the long sword in his hand and shouting loudly. "Defeat the 1,000 Han army in front of you first, if the Han army is defeated, it will inevitably go to the Han army camp, so we will pursue it and kill it in the camp...... If the battalion is broken again, you can bravely meet the commander at the river embankment, as long as the two armies are united, the battle will be won! Who's going to be the pioneer?! β
"I'm going to be a pioneer!" As soon as the words fell, Uncle Zhang next to him immediately raised his knife and shouted fiercely. "The big guys in Fagan and Liaocheng must recognize me Uncle Zhang, and they are all with me...... The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand! β
The whole army of the Yellow Turban Army also immediately shouted and cheered!
After that, sure enough, two divisions of three or four thousand soldiers and horses swarmed out, shouting and killing, and surrounded Zhang Bo and charged in front of the awe-inspiring Han army.
Like Li Jin and Le Jin on the fence, Liang Yuan also straightened up immediately, staring wide-eyed as the Yellow Sky Banner carried by Zhang Bo waved southward, and crashed straight into the Han Army's shield array that had just raised its shield.
However, just as the waves of the Yellow River not far away have not broken the embankment built by Wang Jing for more than 100 years, the three or four thousand hoarse Yellow Turban Army was also suddenly shattered in front of the Han army's shield array!
After Cheng Puju, he shouted to command the crossbowmen to shoot non-stop; Gao Shun was in front, letting the big shield lean against the ground in front of him, and the spear stabbed out of the shield...... Both of them can be called commanders,
As for the officers and soldiers among the 1,000 people, they were a considerable number of ordinary soldiers, in fact, they were all veterans who had experienced the battle of Danhan Mountain, and the rest were young men from the border counties with rich combat experience recruited from the border areas...... In other words, these 1,000 people, if they comprehensively talk about experience, equipment, and tactical literacy, I am afraid that they are the most outstanding part of the Han army in these years.
And considering the glory and majesty of the Han Dynasty on this planet at this time, it can even be said that they are the most elite army on this planet at this time!
Disciplined, neatly formed, and even better equipped after this conscription and dispatch, with such a military situation, what can the Yellow Turban Army, which can't even put the formation well, use to break through them?
Head?
After about a quarter of an hour of fighting, the Yellow Turbans threw down hundreds of corpses on the front line, and many of them were shot by arrows...... If this formation is loose, the people behind can see it clearly, maybe they will have retreated a long time ago. However, the weather was hot and dusty, and Uncle Zhang was in front of the battle, so the people behind couldn't see the situation in front of them clearly, and just continued to shout and kill forward.
But suddenly, across the shield wall, a Han army-style ring-headed knife was violently stabbed out of the gap in the shield wall by his master, and then quickly withdrawn...... A banner representing Liaocheng Xiaoshuai immediately fell to the ground!
Although this handsome man in Liaocheng is fine, the surrounding Yellow Turban Army was frightened, retreated one after another, and led many people to retreat.
Seeing this, Cheng Pu immediately stopped the crossbowmen, and Gao Shun also cooperated with the tacit understanding and immediately ordered to withdraw the shield to counterattack, and the big wooden shield leaning on the ground in the front row was pressed down, and many of the Yellow Turban soldiers who fell in were cut down by the knife hands, and then the three hundred spearmen were in a neat formation, and immediately pushed forward, and the Yellow Turban Army in front of them was at a loss and fled in panic.
Almost instantly, the offense and defense were reversed.
However, the Han army had no intention of recourse, and after dozens of steps forward, the pikemen quickly retreated, and the crossbowmen behind them once again concentrated their throwing and killing...... In the panic, Uncle Zhang was also carried back by the sudden retreat.
Although he had expected it, Liang Zhongning was still disappointed when he looked at this scene.
Of course, having said that, even if he was disappointed, Liang Zhongning would not be shaken by a wave of expected defeats, and he immediately stabilized his position and gathered the defeated troops. Then, while asking Uncle Zhang to organize a frontal offensive again, he called the marshals of Gucheng and Linyi to prepare with their troops and horses, and only after Uncle Zhang fought again to take the battle, he calmly attacked and outflanked from both flanks.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Before turning to the embankment, Gongsun Xun waited until the Yellow Turban Army poured down a full mile from the magnificent Yellow River embankment before letting the entire Han army mount.
In other words, Cao Cao was already very convinced by this operation alone...... Because the Yellow Turban Army, which had been arrayed in a neat formation relying on the embankment, had rushed forward for a mile, not only was the shouting of killing a little weaker at this time, but more importantly, the formation of their army had obviously become a little chaotic due to the difference in physical strength of each department.
After the Han army finished mounting, the Yellow Turban Army only moved forward more than a hundred steps, and there was no major problem at all.
"The whole army obeys the order and rushes head-on!" Gongsun Xun ordered loudly without hesitation after calculating the distance. "After rushing into battle, according to the previous military discussion, if there is no my flag and golden drum, the generals will repeatedly rush and kill in their respective parts to drive the thief army to the embankment!"
After saying that, Gongsun Xun immediately waved his sword to signal the start of the war.
Hearing the military order, the first to move was the White Horse Yicong, and they were also divided into two, some with Han Dang to guard Gongsun Xun and the White Horse Banner in the same place, and some with Gongsun Yue to carry a scepter to the left and right, cruising and supervising the battle.
Immediately, Lou Gui immediately ordered the two big drums brought by the army...... For a time, the flags of all armies moved forward one after another, and the whole formation was launched, and the shouts of killing also rose instantly. And after a while, the speed of the war horse has already risen, and the horse's hooves rumble, like thunder, rushing forward, as if they are going to fight with the Yellow Turban Army, and they are rushing head-on!
In this situation, Cao Mengde, who was a little timid before, couldn't hold it back, and then personally put on armor and held the ge, crossed out of the Chinese army, led Xiahoudun and dozens of other personal guards, galloped forward with the army, and shouted bravely!
Gongsun Xun ignored him, just glanced back at the north direction behind him, and his face was still like a sculpture, calmly watching the battle.
There were more than 7,000 cavalry against 20,000 light infantry, and both sides were full of momentum, and each seemed to have their own strength. However, before they could take the battle, the Yellow Turban Army, who had previously relied on the crowd, turned pale and had no heart to fight...... With such a large scale of cavalry formation, how could these Yellow Turban troops who take the peasants on both sides of the Yellow River as the main force at the bottom have ever seen them?
Before, on the embankment, they looked condescendingly from afar, and the Han army did not get on the horse, so they felt that they were outnumbered and would definitely be able to win, but at this time, the cavalry was rolling in, and these people felt that the Han army was not only seven or eight thousand, but more than tens of thousands.
Bu on the horse already thinks so.
The armies collided, without any more strategies and strategies, it was such a direct and courageous breakthrough, and the front of the Yellow Turban Army collapsed at the touch of a button!
The main force of the Han cavalry kept moving, piercing and slashing, chasing and killing, and most of their casualties were caused by their own inability to control the horse's momentum when they first took over, fell to the ground, or smashed on the Yellow Turban sergeant...... And in this case, most of them are actually direct deaths.
The Yellow Turban Army was quite thick, so after a charge was exhausted, although the Yellow Turban Army was completely defeated, the casualties were not enough to be praised. As a result, the generals of the cavalry of the Han army recalled their headquarters one after another in accordance with what they had said in the previous military discussion, turned back, and then either organized a charge again at the dense place of the crowd, or directly slashed at the loose part of the military formation.
Lou Gui, Han Dang, and the remaining White Horse Yicong, and even Gongsun Yue and the Supervisory Team were all excited, but Gongsun Xun was expressionless. But after seeing that all the Yellow Turban troops everywhere were crushed, he still simply lowered his mouth and asked Han Dang and Gongsun Yue to all dispatch...... It is not to seek success and credit, but to inflict casualties as soon as possible, so that the Yellow Turban Army in front of him will be completely frightened, in order to turn behind him.
In fact, when Han Dang and Gongsun Yue set out together, Gongsun Xun couldn't help but look behind him again after all, but after more than ten miles away, what could he see clearly?
