Chapter 1052: The Decisive Battle of the Coalition Forces (1)
Cao Cao was puzzled: "I don't know what Feng Xian said?" ”
"Could it be that Mengde forgot?" Lu Bu said with a smile: "In this case, Ben Hou can remind one or two that Meng De led his soldiers and horses to pursue Dong Zhuo and was besieged, but it was Ben Hou who led the troops to kill him." ”
Cao Cao showed a sudden look and laughed: "Feng Xian, if our army retreats, won't Feng Xian be afraid of defeat?" ”
"When has Benhou ever been afraid of failure, even if he fails, as long as there is still a hot-blooded man under Benhou's command, he will not let the princes' army enter the state for half a step."
Seeing the strong confidence revealed between Lu Bu's words, Cao Cao secretly praised that Lu Bu was able to achieve today's achievements as a military general, which is enough to shine through the ages.
"If Ben Hou is not mistaken, Feng Xian wants to emulate Qiang Qin, right?" Cao Cao asked.
"Mengde, it's useless to talk about it now, just see who can win." Lu Budao.
Cao Cao saw Lu Bu say this, obviously acquiesced, and his heart couldn't help but suddenly, this Jingzhou's move can be said to offend Lu Bu thoroughly, with Lu Bu's character, Jingzhou will definitely not be pretended, the majesty of the Han family will be further weakened, as long as Liu Biao dies, the Han family will definitely be destroyed.
At this time, the situation in the world is very similar to that of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the difference is that Cao Cao is also powerful, he will not sit idly by and watch Lu Bu achieve hegemony in Bingzhou, and the princes at this time are not as mediocre as the monarchs of various countries in the Warring States Period.
This time, the Bingzhou army will go out to war, which is already the army in addition to the defenders in the state, and the progress of the war has made the defenders in the state constantly move to Huguan, and the number of Jiangdong Army and Cao's army combined in one place has reached 70,000.
The 40,000 state troops were on standby, waiting for the general's order.
A bed crossbow and thunderbolt were transported to the front of the battlefield, the battlefield of 110,000 people, the scale is unprecedentedly huge, and at this time, the command of the main general plays a vital role, only the main general who can control the dynamics of the battlefield in time can make an effective response in time.
Ordinary soldiers only need to follow the orders of their commanders.
The war drums rumbled, the Fang Tian painting halberd in Lu Bu's hand swung forward, and the soldier who controlled the thunderbolt cart at the front moved, the two armies must have been a long-range competition at the beginning, and the Bingzhou army, whether it was a bed crossbow or a thunderbolt, was to stabilize the princes' coalition army.
What the princes' alliance needs to do at this time is how to engage with the state army as quickly as possible, as long as this way, can the damage caused by the thunderbolt and bed crossbow be weakened to the greatest extent, so that the princes are on the passive side, and if they want to break this situation, they must break the camp of the thunderbolt and bed crossbow.
The bed crossbow of the Bingzhou army barely reached 320 paces in range, while the bed crossbow of the princes was only 300 paces at most, and the distance of 20 steps was enough for the soldiers of the Bingzhou army to launch the crossbow arrows and take the lead, which meant that they controlled the initiative on the battlefield.
On the left side of the Bingzhou army was the 3,000 cavalry of the Xiongnu, and on the right side of the Bingzhou army there was no cavalry, at this time Huang Zhong was still holding back the princes' coalition army on the battlefield in Hanoi, so that the princes' coalition army had to divide more forces to deal with it.
The number of cavalry on both sides of the princes' coalition reached 4,000 men, which was also to deal with the cavalry of the state army, which at this time served as a guard on the battlefield and to prevent enemy surprise attacks.
Knowing the arrangement of the Bingzhou army, Cao Cao frowned slightly and said, "Have you ever found out?" Is it true that there were no cavalry on the right flank of the state army? ”
"The leader of the Qi Alliance, and the right flank of the state army has not found cavalry." The scout said truthfully.
Xun You said: "My lord, some time ago, there was an army with the title of Modao Army in Bingzhou, which defeated our cavalry, and there were elite people in Lu Bu's army, although there was no cavalry to guard the right wing, it was extremely dangerous. ”
"If you break it with a frontal army, Ben Hou will not believe that 70,000 people cannot defeat the 40,000 troops of the state." Cao Cao said.
The main generals of both sides are deploying troops and arranging formations, such a huge battlefield, which is a great test for the main generals, Cao Cao has Xun You, Zhou Yu and other top strategists next to him, and only Jia Xu is the only strategist who can handle it in the state army, and in the number of strategists, the princes occupy an absolute advantage.
The bed crossbowmen and thunderbolts of the state army suddenly stopped, and the bed crossbowmen and thunderbolt riders put the boulders and bolts into place as quickly as possible, and the faster they were on the battlefield, the greater the catch.
During this period of fighting, Hao Meng's Thunderbolt riders suffered a lot of casualties, especially after the princes threw boulders onto the city wall regardless of casualties.
And this time, it is the time for the thunderbolt riders of the state army to show their strength, the power of the thunderbolt is his destructive power, and at this time the thunderbolts of the two sides are competing, who can destroy the opponent's thunderbolt more will be able to fight for a greater advantage for their own side on the battlefield.
The boulder flew over, the two sides came and went, and the front army suddenly fell into the billowing dust and smoke, and the state army occupied an absolute advantage in the confrontation between the thunderbolt and the bed crossbow, whether it was accuracy or range, it was not comparable to the princes' coalition army.
"Order the front army, dispatch!" Cao Cao categorically ordered, and the state army took the lead in his expectation, once the soldiers began to fight, the thunderbolt and bed crossbow did not play a very big role, of course, the first to charge the side will be more damaged in terms of losses.
The drums of war intensified, and the coalition forces launched a death charge against the state army.
After two rounds of arrow rain, the Cao army and the Jiangdong army had already approached the front of the Bingzhou army.
"Kill!" A general of the Bingzhou Army shouted, and his soldiers rushed forward.
In terms of the equipment of ordinary soldiers, although the state army is excellent, there is not much gap between the princes and soldiers.
"Thorn!" After a loud shout, the pikemen stabbed forward with all their strength after training countless moves, knowing that this time they were facing an enemy, either you die or I lived, and there was no mercy from their men.
On a huge battlefield, although the role of ordinary soldiers is extremely limited, once these soldiers can carry out the above orders to the letter, the impact is extraordinary, any army is composed of ordinary soldiers, and ordinary soldiers are an important part.
After the battle between the two armies began, it was time to not give an inch to each other.
After the battle of the front army lasted for an hour, the Bingzhou army occupied a dominant position, and the close cooperation allowed ordinary soldiers to exert great combat effectiveness on the battlefield, Cao Cao and Sun Ce's commands all had elite troops, but they were much worse in terms of ordinary soldiers.
