At this time, there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves on the road, and Huangfu Song thought that Dong Zhuo had come back, or Cao Cao of the rear team rushed up with cavalry, and was watching carefully.

I found that more than 20,000 horses came along the road from the west, and they were all Qingzhou troops immediately, and Huangfu Song completely collapsed, which one is this? When did the Qingzhou Army have so many cavalry?

If there were so many cavalry in the past, as for the thousands of cavalry of Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao, would they wantonly torture and kill?

However, more than 20,000 Qingzhou soldiers on horseback, after approaching the battlefield, all dismounted, took their equipment, and gradually approached in an infantry attack formation, fortunately, they were only infantry on horseback.

Huangfu Song also tried hard to get his troops close to each other and form a formation, but he had marched in a hurry before, and the entire marching army column was pulled thin and long, and it was not easy to form a circle formation with a curve.

Braving the fierce arrows of the Qingzhou Army, how easy is it to connect these circular formations together?

And the Qingzhou army was surrounded by 20,000 people from the front army, and the middle army and the rear army of the palace were still far away from ten or twenty miles, who would have thought that there would be an ambush here?

The Central Forbidden Army, which had just experienced a long and rapid march, was greatly weakened in terms of physical strength and fighting spirit, and when the infantry of the Qingzhou Army who arrived on horseback got close to hand-to-hand combat, the besieged Han army began to collapse.

The bow and crossbow that had been attacked before wiped out nearly half of the Han army, and after the hand-to-hand encounter, they were quickly put down one by one.

Running out of breath, who has the strength to resist the attack of spears and ring-headed knives? The equipment of the Qingzhou army is as sophisticated as that of the Han army.

In addition to Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, who were surrounded with the former army, the two famous generals also capsized in the small river ditch this time.

But they are more cursing Lu Bu and his merger with the state army, damn the merge army, where did they hit the Qingzhou army hard?

There are 50,000 elite Qingzhou troops surrounding him, and they are all alive and kicking, where does it look like after two days and one night of bloody battles?

It seems that he has been fighting all his life, but his reputation is going to be buried here today.

Just when the Han army was getting smaller and smaller, and Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun had been surrounded in the core, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves came from the west again, this time it was not the Qingzhou army, but the Han army, it was Dong Zhuo and his Xiliang cavalry.

In a hurry, Dong Zhuo took the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to fight for his life, and the Qingzhou Army obviously had not trained much to deal with the impact of the cavalry.

Before they could set up their defensive formation, Dong Zhuo and his Xiliang Iron Cavalry had already rushed into the ranks of the Qingzhou Army, rampage, revealing the brutal impact of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, Huangfu Song and the others naturally did not waste the opportunity, and they also desperately moved closer to Dong Zhuo.

Seeing Dong Zhuo, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were really overjoyed, and they couldn't care about all the unhappiness before, and under inquiry, it turned out that Dong Zhuo entered Dingtao City, and was closed by the Qingzhou Army and trapped in the city.

Fortunately, the Qingzhou army was just trapped, and there were no more people to ambush Dong Zhuo, and finally Dong Zhuo smashed through the city gate, broke out, knew that the situation was urgent, and desperately came to help.

Just after Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo rendezvous, just when they didn't know how to break through, there were also bursts of shouts and horses' hooves to the east of the Qingzhou Army's encirclement.

Lu Zhi and Liu Bei of the Chinese army, Cao Cao and Sun Jian of the rear army finally arrived.

Although Liao Hua, Zhou Cang and others, who were responsible for blocking the rear army of the Han army, tried their best to block it, but this time the Han army was like a cloud, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were thousands of enemies, not to mention that even Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others were also unstoppable, and they were brave and championed the three armies.

Liao Hua and Zhou Cang almost lost their lives to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's men, and Liao Hua was beaten to vomit blood.

The tiger-faced military division saw that he could not completely destroy the main force of the Han army after all, although it was expected, but his painstaking planning finally created a chance to win, but it still fell short.

Alas, after all, the Qingzhou Army is not a merging state army, and the central official army is indeed strong in combat and has a tenacious fighting spirit. Their own forces do not occupy any advantage, and the strength of the two sides is actually about the same, and it is only under their own planning that they have achieved partial superiority.

There were too many generals in the Han army with outstanding personal force, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were too strong, and Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Lu Zhi and others were also experienced, and they quickly saw through their suspicious tactics.

All of this shows that the great man's spirit is not exhausted, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it is far from the time of destruction.

After receiving the signal of withdrawal, the Qingzhou army quickly withdrew from the battle, no one was in love with the battle, and the contact with the Han army was disconnected, and the various units covered each other and slowly retreated to the northeast.

The Han army did not pursue, but cleaned up the battlefield, buried the bodies of the fallen soldiers, rescued the wounded robes, and withdrew to Dingtao.

Huangfu Song took stock of the people, the central official army suffered heavy losses this time, the 30,000 people of the former army were almost wiped out, and at least 27,800 casualties were lost.

The Chinese army and the rear army were not ambushed, but were blocked halfway by the 20,000 Qingzhou army, using a suspicious strategy.

In the end, it was Lu Zhi, Cao Cao and others who insisted that the Qingzhou army would not use too many people to stop them, and as long as the whole army attacked, they could break through the block.

After the war, everyone gathered together to study and analyze, and Huangfu Song concluded that there must be something wrong with the previous battle of sour jujube, and the state army must have made some ulterior deal with the Qingzhou army, otherwise how to explain the crossbows, more than 20,000 military horses and 60,000 people jumping around.

In fact, Huangfu Song's guess is not far from ten, and it is very close to the real answer. All of this was a plan made by the Tiger Mask Military Division, and with Lu Bu's consent and Xu Huang's strong support.

Before the start of the Battle of Sujube, Zhang He's 1st Cavalry Brigade and Xu Rong's 1st Trap Brigade quietly rode to 20 miles east of Dingtao, and dug a trench that could hide people in the designated area of the Humian Military Division, and the sappers of the state army shoveled and dug the pit to a professional level.

After that, the two sides had a fake fight in Sujube, and the Qingzhou army killed a large number of bandits and prisoners in the prison who were captured along the way, as well as some prisoners of the Han army.

The two sides also slaughtered a lot of pigs, cows, and sheep, mixing their blood with human blood, causing the illusion that the two sides were fighting to the death, ambushing corpses all over the field, and bleeding like a river.

The Bingzhou army piled up these heads into Jingguan as a proof of military merits, and sent a battle report to Luoyang, asking for a reward for their merits.

Secretly, a large number of crossbows, crossbow arrows and horses used by all the infantry units of the Bingzhou Army were given to the Qingzhou Army.

There were 20,000 Qingzhou troops, and they began to set off to Dingtao at the same time as the war in Sujube, and these people were archers and crossbowmen. The second group set out to stop the 20,000 people in the rear army of the Han army, and on the last day they left the sour dates were nearly 30,000 infantry who could ride horses specially trained by the Humian Military Division.
