Until here, Wang Quan's special operations brigade finally connected with the reconnaissance team sent by Zhu Ling, Wang Quan did not dare to alarm Huang Zhong, but sent a large number of scouts to control the perimeter of the battlefield and monitor all the wind and grass.

The scouts sent by Huang Zhong had already been sent to see the Grim Reaper.

It was in this state of concealment that Lu Bu and his Honor Second Brigade quietly arrived at the edge of the battlefield.

Zhu Ling already knew about the arrival of Wang Quan's special operations brigade, and finally took a reassuring pill, so he dared to put all the reserves in his hands into battle.

He knew that as long as he held on for a little longer, Lu Bu arrived, and it was time to fight back.

Lu Bu observed the situation on the battlefield, now Zhu Ling's defense line is already very difficult, Huang Zhong has invested all his troops, and the combat strength of the Jingzhou army is still good, causing a lot of casualties to Zhu Ling's fourth division.

Lü Bu decided not to wait for Cheng Lian's two infantry brigades to be in place, and the two cavalry brigades immediately went into the attack, breaking Huang Zhong's illusion and completing the encirclement of the Jingzhou army.

The two cavalry brigades of the Central Army sounded the horn of attack, and the 10,000 cavalry of the black pressure poured out from behind the hill like a flood of embankments, rushing towards the rear of the Jingzhou army.

Huang Zhong was in the middle of the battle to supervise the battle, and the sound of the horn behind him surprised him, his scouts were all killed, so he had no idea that there were so many cavalry behind him.

Huang Zhong had never fought in the north, and the largest cavalry he had ever seen was Dong Zhuo's Xiliang cavalry and Cao Cao's Guanzhong cavalry that he had seen when the Yellow Turbans were exterminated.

However, the scale of the most four or five thousand horsemen, I had never seen the scene of tens of thousands of iron horsemen charging towards me, and I was stunned for a while.

Wen Ping's reaction was still fast, and he shouted, "Spearmen, come here, the cloth rejects the horse formation, and the crossbowmen shoot the cavalry!" ”

However, most of the army was still stuck in the battle for the defense line of the Central Army, and in the end, there were only more than 1,000 spearmen, trembling in a horizontal formation, with their spears stuck diagonally on the ground, and resisting hard.

The crossbowmen, who also numbered less than two thousand, heard Wen Ping's shout, turned around and aimed at the cavalry to shoot arrows.

Even in the face of this sparse defense of less than 3,000 men, the cavalry of the Special Operations Brigade and the 2nd Rong Brigade took it seriously according to the offensive tactics of the CSKA light cavalry.

After covering the poor Jingzhou army with crossbows and throwing guns, they made a big circle and regrouped to prepare for another attack.

Without the cover of a large shield, the small shields in the hands of the spearmen were simply careless, and although the chain armor could prevent some of the crossbow shots, the sharp spears could still easily penetrate their armor.

What's more, the sharpshooters of the Special Operations Brigade can accurately shoot them in the face, and there is no protection there.

In short, after a wave of attacks, the 3,000 Jingzhou army no longer existed.

Huang Zhong really understood the power of the cavalry of the Central Army, if it wasn't for Wen Ping's sacrifice to save him, Huang Zhong would have been shot in the face by a crossbow arrow.

Looking at Wen Ping, whose arm was injured, Huang Zhong was very grateful, but what was more important was how to deal with the cavalry of the Central Army.

Huang Zhong finally made up his mind to stop the attack on the Fourth Division, and all his forces shrank together.

Forming a defensive circle with hoplites on the periphery and spearmen and crossbowmen in the center, the Jingzhou army changed formations very quickly, and Huang Zhong's subordinates were also well-trained.

Seeing that the Jingzhou army had arranged a defensive circular formation, Lu Bu was not in a hurry to attack, and the two cavalry brigades were divided into four phalanxes and surrounded the Jingzhou army from four directions, just like a few hungry wolves staring at their prey, waiting for the opportunity for the other party to make mistakes.

Zhu Ling did not leave his own defensive line, but was cleaning up the battlefield and treating the wounded, still firmly blocking the enemy's retreat.

Huang Zhong counted the surviving Jingzhou army, there were less than 30,000 people, and nearly half of the Jingzhou army was killed or wounded in this sad place.

Zhu Ling's Fourth Division also suffered heavy casualties, and the three brigades lost nearly 4,000 people, of which the 10th Brigade accounted for half, and the combat strength of the Jingzhou Army should not be underestimated.

Huang Zhong was also observing his opponent, he actually saw a banner with the word "Lu" in the enemy formation, could it be that the general Lu Bu personally conquered Hanzhong?

If this is the case, then it is not a shame to lose to Lu Bu.

Now it seems that CSKA has nearly 20,000 men, which is about the same number as its own, but it has 10,000 cavalry without any losses.

On the plains, the infantry against the cavalry, it is difficult to have any chance of winning, and they can't outrun the people, and the back road is also strangled by the infantry of the Central Army, which is really hard to escape.

The two sides were deadlocked for a while, but they saw smoke and dust billowing in the direction of Shangyong, the sound of horses' hooves, and the arrival of a large number of cavalry.

However, when Huang Zhong saw the new 10,000 people on the other side, he turned over and dismounted from a distance, and after entering the battlefield on foot, he was completely blinded.

What is it? Infantry on horseback? Is the Central Army extravagant to this extent? The 30,000 Central Army has really become an encirclement.

When Huang Zhong was still thinking about how to resist desperately, the cavalry of the Central Army slowly came out and rode out, with red horses and silver armor and white cloaks flying behind him, although he had a beard, he could not hide his handsome appearance.

The visitor shouted loudly: "Lu Bu is here, General Huang Zhong, the chief general of Jingzhou, can you answer me in front of the battle?" ”

Huang Zhong was a little moved, Lu Bu really came, and when he heard that Lu Bu was going to talk to him, he urged him to step forward.

"I've seen General Lu Bu, Huang Zhong is polite." As he spoke, he clasped his hands into fists and saluted.

"General Hansheng doesn't have to be polite, your name has long been heard, and you are actually the number one tiger general in Jingzhou!" Lu Bu touted it slightly.

"The general praised it falsely, Huang Zhong just got a false name, how did he get into the eyes of the general?"

"General Hansheng, Liu Jingsheng of Jingzhou and Zhang Lu of Hanzhong both belong to the Great Han Dynasty, why do they attack each other? This incident was actually Liu Jingsheng's fault. ”

Huang Zhong can only talk about Zhang Lu's Five Doumi Sect, and there is a suspicion of the remnants of the Yellow Turban.

Lu Bu waved his hand, "It's pure nonsense, Zhang Tianshi's Five Dou Mi Sect is completely different from the Yellow Turban Taiping Dao, I have found out that this Hanzhong war was provoked by Yizhou Liu Zhang, as long as General Huang Zhong asks your subordinates to lay down their weapons and surrender, I will keep you safe!" ”

Huang Zhong hesitated, but if he surrendered to Lu Bu, he wouldn't be able to go back to Jingzhou, maybe with this 30,000 army, he would have a fight?

Seeing that Huang Zhong was still hesitating, Lu Bu said to him: "General Hansheng, do you think you can still fight against my Central Army with these men?" Then I'll let you see the secret weapon of my Central Army, and you can think about it again. ”

"It's only because this thing is too powerful and hurts the heavens and harms the peace that I didn't use it on you."

After that, Lu Bu turned back to Wang Quan and said, "Wang Quan, put a thunderbolt fury and show General Huang Zhong a look." ”

Soon, two sappers of the Central Army came out of the formation, found a large rock in the wilderness, buried a detonator underneath, lit the fuse, and quickly retreated.

A moment later, there was a loud "boom", the boulder was blown to pieces, and there was a large crater on the ground, green smoke curled up, and there was a smell of gunpowder smoke in the air.

The war horse under Huang Zhong's crotch was frightened by this sudden loud noise, and almost lost control of the fright.

Huang Zhong's face was ugly all of a sudden, Lu Bu was right, if this thing was thrown into the pile, the consequences would be unimaginable.

I have long heard that there is a secret weapon in Lu Bu's army, called Thunder Fury, but it turns out to be like this, amazing!

Huang Zhong turned his head and looked at the people under his command who were trembling with fear, their morale had been lost, how to fight?

Surrender, surrender, surrender! It's not a shame to lose to Lu Bu, the god of war of the Han Dynasty, Huang Zhong comforted himself like this!

"General, Huang Zhong is willing to lead the Jingzhou soldiers to surrender, and I hope to spare our lives, we are also our own masters, and we must not do it."

When Lu Bu heard that Huang Zhong was willing to surrender, it seemed that the psychological tactic of intimidation had worked, and the ancients had subjugated the soldiers without a fight, and he still learned some essences.

He put away his cold face and applauded, "General Hansheng, you have made a wise choice, rest assured, since you have surrendered, you will not be harmed, our Central Army has the military discipline that you are not allowed to kill prisoners, everyone is Han, we should not kill each other, it is the truth to be unanimous!" ”
