Three days later, July 15, it was the Zhongyuan Festival that gradually spread to the world because of the prevalence of Taoism. At this time, although there is no such thing as the Zhongyuan Ghost Festival, it is also the day of Mengqiu, and there has always been a tradition of sacrifice.

But on this day, not to mention the Han army, even the believers of the Taiping Dao did not have the desire to sacrifice to Huang Tian...... Because they had noticed the movement of the Han army on the opposite side since two or three days ago, and yesterday evening they saw with their own eyes the continuous smoke of the cooking on the opposite side, as if they were preparing dry food and cold boiled water for the second day!

That's right, here must be an extra praise for Aunt Gongsun, thanks to her teaching and influence year after year, I don't know when the army and even the people on the border of Hebei began to use boiling water to avoid epidemics...... There are a large number of Youzhou soldiers and Zhongshan soldiers, and the commander is called Gongsun Xun, so the Han army on the north bank of the Hutuo River will naturally be even more so.

In short, under the overwhelming smoke of cooking, fools know that this is going to be a big war! What's more, Zhang Bao, the general of the local government, is not stupid?

As a result, from today's fourth watch, the armies of the two sides, which had long been fully prepared, began to line up across the river.

By the time the morning sun rose, the two sides of the strait were already lined with swords and guns, and the armor was dazzling. However, the most shocking thing is that the military formations of the two sides naturally formed two huge oceans, one yellow and one red...... The Han army is still red, so the Han army generally wears red straight jackets, and the banner is also naturally red, and the Yellow Turban Army is needless to say, they are named because they are still yellow and wrapped in yellow turbans!

In such a situation, the bold people naturally feel that the momentum is majestic, and they are ready to make contributions today; And the timid are afraid that their legs are already trembling.

In the early morning of 15 July, the flag was gently raised in the breeze, and the Hutuo River was still flowing calmly, accompanied by the sudden sound of drums and horns, there was a commotion between the two armies, and then they split to the left and right, and immediately a large number of umbrella covers, honor guards, flags, and golden drums poured out from the rear. Obviously, this is the fact that the managers of both sides are ready to go to the front of the field.

Among them, Gongsun Xun led the crowd directly to the Hutuo River in front of the camp to observe the situation on the opposite side from afar, and on the opposite side of him, Zhang Bao, who had arranged the position overnight, actually personally led the elite in Quyang City, holding his Digong General Banner and the Yellow Sky Banner, to a previously artificially built earthen mountain, condescending, and far away from him.

The Hutuo River is not alarmed, the narrowest point is only two or three hundred steps, the widest point is only more than a thousand steps, the two sides of the whole army are exhausted, the army array stretches for more than ten miles, but the confrontation of the Chinese army is very close, and even some of the same taste...... This is not accidental, in fact, the reason why the Yellow Turban Army built a soil mountain on the south bank of this place, and the reason why the Han army placed the Chinese army camp here is because it is convenient to cross the river, and the Han army has tried to cross the river many times in the past few months, but it has not been successful.

"That's it!" In a solemn and tense situation, Zhang Bao, who was in a higher position, involuntarily broke the horsewhip in his hand. "The umbrella cover is complete, and it is also the White Horse Guard and the White Horse Flag, this person must be correct!"

The surrounding commanders were silent, of course they knew which one their general was talking about.

The shadow of the name tree of man.

Zhuoxian City destroyed the Guangyang Yellow Turban, Fanyang City forced back his own Digong general, the Yellow River forced countless Taoist people to commit suicide, and Changshe wiped out the 100,000 army of Yingchuan with a fire. In addition, there are also the lives of Cheng Yuanzhi, Bo Cai, and Bu Ji, three generous marshals...... The commander of the officer and army on the other side, known as the White Horse General, is really a blood debt to the Yellow Turban Army! If you can capture it, you must have to cut it with a thousand knives to solve the hatred in your heart!

In fact, if this person hadn't arrived, why would the Yellow Turban of Xia Quyang be so nervous? 100,000 against 70,000, on the defensive, still uneasy?

"There is a lot of blood debt!" Looking at the yellow flags on the other side of the river, almost connected into an ocean, it was like facing a great enemy, and Gongsun Xun was riding on a white horse, and he also sneered. "You say, if the Yellow Turban Thief really took the world, what would you and I be like in the history books?"

"Don't joke with the facial features." Chang Shan Xiang Feng Xin couldn't help but speak. "How can the other generation of witches and Taoists outperform our Confucian righteous way?"

"yes." Gongsun Xun seemed to be smiling. "Where is the witch way better than the Confucian righteous way? However, the Confucian righteous way resides in the temple, while the witch way is planted in the small people...... Anping Cui Gong's "Political Commentary" has a saying: The small people are like leeks, cut and reborn; The head is like a chicken, and the cut is repeated...... I'm afraid that you and I can cut off its head, but we can't stop its song! ”

Feng Xin is a weak person, and when he heard this, he didn't dare to argue anymore, and Zong Yuan and Cheng Pu were pure martial artists, and Zhang Chun had something on his mind, where would they have the heart to say this?

Only the Julu who had already been put on was too guarded by Guo Dian Guo Junye, and paused a little when he heard the words, and then refuted: "I probably understand the meaning of the five senses Zhonglang General, the Central Plains of Hebei is the heart of my Han Dynasty, but it has been rebelled against, it can be seen that there is indeed something wrong with the government, otherwise the thieves would not have gathered so many troops...... However, since you and I are Han Chen, we should understand that the virtue of the Han family is not something that these witches, heroes, and thieves can shake, at least, there are still 70,000 tigers today, and six 2,000 stones are willing to die for the country...... Therefore, after the war, let's talk about it after the war! ”

After that, this Guo Junye reined in and wanted to go to his headquarters that had already been arranged.

"Guo Jun stays." Although he was pushed back, Gongsun Xun still shouted to the other party in a hurry. "One more word."

"The facial features will be straightforward." Guo Dian turned back from the horse.

"Although I have long had the idea of crossing the river, this battle is so hasty or more because Guo Jun's will to die is there, and I can't do it." Gongsun Xun pointed to the clearly visible Yellow Turban Army position on the opposite bank with a horsewhip and said. "Moreover, the root of this battle also lies in two places, one is the cavalry used by more than 10,000 of our army, and the other is whether the two Taishou can successfully force the cross...... If you can cross the river and set up a fortress, stabilize your position, and attract the attention of the thieves, then the cavalry will definitely win again! But if ......"

"I know." Guo Dian's eyes were indifferent, and he replied calmly. "But if neither I nor Zhang Taishou can gain a foothold, then there is no need for the cavalry to attack again, and there is no need to send people across the river to save me, so as not to kill the soldiers! As for those who have already crossed the river, including me, it will be up to heaven to live or die...... This is what I personally answered, and all the public can testify! ”

"That's a good point." It seems that Zhang Chun, who is wearing a filial piety robe in general, also gritted his teeth and put on a hood. "Life and death in this battle, success or failure is in heaven...... But I'm about to fight for my life, fight for the sky! ”

"Then go quickly, you two!" Gongsun Xun is equally crisp. "Captain Cheng, Captain Zong, the two of you also look at the two wings to see the position, when to support, how to support, you can have an accident!"

This was a strategy that had been set a long time ago, and the four of them naturally had nothing to say, so they turned to ...... The Han army had 60,000 or 70,000 troops, but there were 30,000 or 40,000 times when they moved together.

A few quarters of an hour later, on the opposite dirt mountain, under the Yellow Sky Banner, Zhang Bao, whose head was wrapped in a yellow cloth, watched the Han army's military formation begin to move, and became nervous...... Because he found that he still underestimated this big scene of more than 100,000 people fighting!

There are too many people, there are more than 10,000 people, let alone more than 100,000 people?

Even if it is defensive, even if it is a special position, even if it is on the plain, but the width of the battlefield is more than ten miles there, Zhang Bao is not a real immortal, how can he clearly understand all the surrounding situations?

It can even be said that the only thing he can clearly observe and react directly to is the area in front of him where the Chinese army is confronted.

Therefore, when the Han army on the other side of the river was about to cross the river, but he could only see the flags and smoke from afar, the general immediately panicked:

If the Han army wants to cross the river, where will it be crossed?

The number of cavalry of the Han army on the other side was very small, and they did not ride horses at all because they had to cross the river, or did the cavalry have already set out en masse to prepare for a large-scale detour?

If it's a detour, where do you come from? When is coming?

How many reserves should be left? Where to put it? Are you prepared enough?

Is it necessary to immediately increase the number of troops at the few openings that are convenient for crossing the river? Or wait a little longer, wait for the other side to come ashore and then gather troops?

A series of thoughts ran around in Zhang Bao's mind, but he didn't dare to show half of them, for fear of affecting the morale of the army...... From the end of February to now, he has been a commander in the army for half a year, and at least he still knows some things.

"Where do you think the Han army will cross the river from?" Suppressing the uneasiness, Zhang Bao put on a calm and breezy appearance, and then turned back to a group of powerful people in the army behind him and asked. "And what should I do?"

This group of capable people can be roughly divided into three categories, one is to which Taiping Dao belongs, and after the incident, they naturally became the commander, deputy marshal, and small marshal of the Yellow Turban Army; One is Zhang Bao's own disciple for many years, who can be regarded as his confidants; The last category is the Haoqiang, county officials, border army veterans, and even bandit and thief leaders who defected after the uprising...... But he gradually emerged in the war, and thus appeared beside Zhang Bao.

At this time, the objects of Zhang Bao's questions were the latter two categories, and after half a year, he knew very well in his heart that only the latter two types of people could provide him with truly useful and effective military advice.

However, although there are many people around, they are generally speechless at this time...... When it comes to small-scale combat, these people may be quite experienced, but with such a large-scale military formation, just standing here, they feel that the atmosphere of slaughter is overwhelming, where can they dare to put their beaks lightly?

For a long time, it was only suggested that it would be better to divide two groups of 3,000 elites from the Chinese army to cruise on both wings, supervising the battle while dealing with the breakthrough of the Han army crossing the river.

In all fairness, this is already very pertinent advice.

Moreover, Zhang Bao's words were not so much an inquiry, but rather a search for self-comfort, and he was already very satisfied to get such a suggestion.

As a result, two Yellow Turban elites of 3,000 people each poured out from behind the earth mountain and went east and west, and the two Taishou of the Han army on the north bank of the Hutuo River also began to move...... The two sides have confronted each other here for several months and have crossed the river several times tentatively, and they have already figured out the geography of the river and have already had the experience and preparation to cross the river. Therefore, as Guo Dian and Zhang Chun, the two thoughtful Taishou returned to their headquarters, the Han army immediately launched, and for a time thousands of boats were exhausted on the calm surface of the Hutuo River, and the yellow sea on the other side of the river also rolled up waves in response.

The two wings of the Han army moved together in order to force the crossing, and the Yellow Turban Army on the opposite side also moved up to take precautions...... However, up to this point, Gongsun Xun, as the commander of the Han army, stood still, ignoring the situation on both wings and the movements of the other party, just riding forward to the front of the military formation, and then squinting at the Yellow Sky Banner on the opposite dirt mountain.

Changshan Xiang Feng Xin estimated that it was the first time to see such a large formation, and after seeing the other party's dispatch of troops, he was already a little flustered, and when the shouts of killing sounded on both wings, he couldn't bear it, and asked cautiously on the spot: "The five senses Zhonglang thinks that our army can win this battle?" ”

Gongsun Xun at the front was speechless, but he could only turn his head and stare at the other party, and then keep silent.

Feng Xin probably knew that he had lost face and was suspected of shaking the morale of the army, so he immediately shut up in embarrassment.

However, at this moment, Lou Zibo, who was in the middle of the army array, thought for a while, but suddenly twisted his beard and smiled: "Don't worry about Feng Xiang, in my opinion, this battle is still very simple, and the victory and defeat are extremely clear...... Feng Xiang only needs to stay here with my family's monarch and marquis to appease the Chinese army, and then he can sit back and wait for success! ”

Feng Xin was not surprised when he heard this.

Thinking about it, even if he doesn't know anything about military affairs, since he can mix with a large county like Changshan, which has a population of five or six hundred thousand, he still has the basic qualities...... After all, it is impossible for all the two thousand stones to be as strange as Xiang Xu, who has already gone immortal...... Therefore, he immediately understood that this was Lou Gui who wanted to take the opportunity to say something big and encourage the officers around him.

After all, it was caused by himself, so even if he didn't believe it, Feng Guoxiang still put on a serious look: "I don't know about military affairs, and I asked Uncle Zi to explain the situation to me, what are our odds of winning?" ”

"Don't hide it from Gong Feng." Lou Gui grabbed the white horse under his crotch and laughed. "In my opinion, our army has five victories in this battle, and the thieves have five defeats!"

Rao was a little mentally prepared, and Feng Xin was immediately stunned on the spot.

And Gongsun Xun, who was in front of the two, was also speechless when he heard this, and he couldn't help but look back at his confidant strategist at that time.

"One," Lou Zibo pretended not to see the strange eyes of his own prince, and said proudly. "Since the war in Dongjun and Yingchuan has subsided, people of insight in the world have understood that this Yellow Turban thief is difficult to accomplish and will be destroyed sooner or later...... Therefore, although the thieves were numerous, their morale gradually declined; Although the strength of our army is slightly insufficient, its morale is high...... This so-called one win and one defeat! ”

Whether it was Feng Xin, Gongsun Xun, or Zong Yuan and Cheng Pu next to him, as well as the leaders and officers of the reinforcements gathered from the counties and states of Hebei below, they were all silent...... Because, Lou Zibo's words are indeed irrefutable.

Second, "Seeing that everyone bowed their heads, Lou Gui became more and more proud. "Our army is only slightly inferior in strength, but it is not a lack of combat strength, and the thieves have more than 20,000 or 30,000 miscellaneous soldiers, which is worth the 10,000 elite cavalry of our army?! From the Hutuo River to the city wall of Xiaquyang, the narrowest point is also six or seven miles, and there are mostly plains, which is where the cavalry is used...... And the wide land of Hebei, with the ride on the step, this is two wins and two defeats! ”

Everyone still nodded their heads, and some even began to echo...... The Yellow Turban Army has been fighting for half a year and has experienced a lot, so why not the officers and soldiers? Staying in the barracks for half a year, this basic military common sense has long been popularized, and everyone knows what the role of 10,000 cavalry means in large-scale cavalry battles on the plain.

And the Han army has indeed made arrangements for a long time.

At this time, except for Han Dang, who led three hundred white horse retinues, and Gao Shun, who led one thousand of the elite of the state to stay behind to serve as the arrowhead combat force of Cheng Pu's department, the rest of the knights of Youhe Hanoi, including the scattered cavalry of the original various armies, had already been gathered by Gongsun Xun and crossed the river from the downstream...... Almost all of Gongsun Xun's right-hand men were sent out to lead the cavalry.

Even, in order to prevent Guan Yu and Xianpei, the two most powerful other Simas, from having a conflict and grabbing command, even Gongsun Yue was thrown out and acted as the nominal chief general of this elite cavalry unit of more than 10,000 people.

There is really nothing to say, these 10,000 cavalry can end this battle, and all the other Han troops are just doing to create the best time and situation for these 10,000 cavalry. Even the fortifications personally led by Guo Dian and Zhang Chun, the two Taishou, can also be understood as arranging the iron felt for the hammer for the 10,000 cavalry.

Seeing that everyone was paying more and more attention to his words, Lou Zibo's tone was naturally getting higher and higher-pitched: "The third is Xiaquyang City behind the thief......"

As soon as these words came out, the officers of the Han Army, who had finally heard it, were immediately speechless...... Is the relationship backed by a strong city or a disadvantage?

"Guys, I know what you think." Lou Gui grabbed the horse's head and sneered. "The high wall of Xiaquyang is well known...... However, are we besieging the city this time? You might as well put yourself in their shoes, if we have such a strong city behind us to defend, then once the battle situation is shaken, do we have to fight to the death, or simply turn around and retreat? ”

"That's right!" Feng Xin suddenly realized. That's exactly what happened...... There is a fortified city behind the thief, put yourself in your shoes, once the battle situation is shaken, you will inevitably can't help but think about retreating into the city!

"It's not all." Lou Zibo twisted his beard and smiled. "On the other hand, it is our army that crosses the river by force, and those who cross the river are really fighting against the water, and they will not be shaken easily...... And that's where the three wins and three defeats lie. ”

Everyone suddenly realized, and Feng Xin sighed repeatedly: "Uncle Zi is really worthy of being the mastermind of the generals in the five senses...... The battle situation is so transparent! ”

Lou Gui smiled happily for a while, and waited until everyone praised him before he put away his smile and continued: "As for the four wins and four defeats...... Look, at this time, the two Taishou on both wings should have already begun to fight, but can you see the battle situation on both wings here? ”

When they heard this, they probed their brains, but found nothing but smoke, ships, and a few faint flags. As a result, most people are as confused as they were just now.

"That's exactly what it means!" Xi Zhong finally couldn't help but interject. "Uncle Zi's insight is extremely high...... Think about it, the battlefield of more than 100,000 people, separated by several miles, our Chinese army can't see the battle situation on both flanks, and can't intervene in time, can Zhang Bao on the other side command effectively? In this case, you can only fight on your own! ”

"Yet." Lou Gui said. "It's also their own battles, the thieves are handsome and handsome, each doing their own thing, and the command is extremely chaotic. But in addition to the commander, our army still has five 2,000 stone cameras to command and dispatch...... That's where the four wins and four defeats come in. ”

The battlefield area is too large, the scale of the war is too large, and there is an extra layer of highly authoritative commanders in the command system, which seems to be indeed an irrefutable advantage for one's own side, right?

After thinking about it for a while, the officers of the Han army looked at Lou Gui differently, this seems to be the legendary Zhang Liang and Chen Ping-like characters?

It was Gongsun Xun, who also glanced back at Lu Fan on the left hand side and glanced back at this guy again.

"Then dare to ask Mr. Zibo," full of confidence, Feng Xin's title changed at this time. "Where is this fifth win and fifth defeat?"

"Far away, close at hand!" Lou Gui raised his hand and pointed at Gongsun Xun, who was looking back at him, and his voice couldn't help but raise a lot again. "It is the commander of the enemy and our armies now! My family's monarch has been famous all over the world since the weak crown, and since the Yellow Turban, he has been invincible, and Zhang Bao on the opposite side has been a defeated general under my family's monarch and marquis as early as Fanyang City...... Isn't the quality of the coach the foundation of victory or defeat? This is the fifth victory of our army in this battle, and the fifth defeat of the thief army! ”

Feng Xin clenched his fists and clapped his palms, and couldn't help but agree in agreement...... Looking at him like that, it seems that he has actually changed from coping with errands to really believing Lou Zibo's nonsense.

As for the surrounding officers from various Hebei counties, whether they believe it or not, they naturally nodded their heads in agreement, and by the way, they kept patting their horses...... Or else? Do you have to say in front of other people's facial features and his scepter that this is not true?

And if you think about it, it's true, right?

In short, whether it is true or not, Lou Zibo's bold remarks made the atmosphere of the Central Military Department of the Han Army warm.

However, at the same time, where the specific situation could not be seen clearly from the Chinese army, the two wings of the Han army, which had taken the lead in forcibly crossing, had already intersected with the white blades of the Yellow Turban Army on the other side of the river.

"Kill!"

Xu Zhan, wearing a double-layered iron armor and a hood on his head, smashed a large wooden shield with seven or eight arrows nailed to a Yellow Turban warrior on the opposite bank, and then jumped up from the bow of the ship and took advantage of the situation to swing his knife into the beachhead of the Yellow Turban Army.

Relying on the power of iron armor, and even more powerful like a mad tiger, he actually killed several people at once, so that more than ten armor soldiers who crossed the first boat landed safely one after another, and then marched forward in formation.

In other words, the person who is a confidant dies, and Xu Zhan certainly understands that Gongsun Xun is ill-intentioned when he forced his own prince to force the first crossing...... In fact, when crossing the river this time, Zhang Chun, who was on the boat behind him, did not even dare to choose the Zhongshan soldiers in the headquarters who were more closely related to Gongsun Xun, but asked for the Yuyang soldiers who came here with Guo Xun in public to act as the forward, hoping that these villagers could be more 'safe'...... However, now that the war has started and the white blades have been added, now, you have to withstand the Yellow Turban Army's clear swords and guns before guarding against someone's dark arrows and cold arrows, right? Xu Zhan asked himself, if he really let his own prince be on the beach, I'm afraid that the shameless thief can laugh in public, right?!

Therefore, this battle must not only be won, but also show the courage of the monarch of his own mansion, so that Gongsun Xun will be intimidated by the courage of his own monarch and stop here!

As soon as he thought of this, Xu Zhan, who had just stabilized a small piece of beachhead, did not wait for more Han troops behind him to gather on the beachhead, but picked up a round shield on the ground and took the initiative to pounce towards the dense Yellow Turban Army formation.

Thanks to Xu Zhan's hard work, Zhang Chun calmly crossed the river and lined up on the south bank of the Hutuo River.

And almost at the same time, the Han army on the west side also killed the enemy with Guo Dian himself, and the morale was greatly boosted, and the army shouted ashore, almost instantly seizing a beachhead of the Yellow Turban Army.

From this point of view, Lou Zibo's theory of five wins and five defeats may not be false.

"Trouble!"

However, in the morning, he heard the continuous good news of the sentry cavalry on both sides, and Gongsun Xun, who had been staring at the military formation of the Yellow Turban Army on the other side, couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, although his face remained unchanged.
