36, Chen Cang Battle 1
The soldiers of the rear of the coalition army were scattering and fleeing, and the rear army of more than 10,000 people collapsed after resisting for less than a few moments. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In fact, Huangfu Jianshou led 5,000 cavalry to pursue quickly, and he had already caught up with the retreating rebel rear. However, after Huangfu Jianshou, who was born in Jiangmen, saw that the rebel army was only some old, weak, sick and disabled people, he did not immediately attack, but asked the soldiers below to slow down and recover their horsepower, as long as they hung far behind the rebels.
After the retreating Liangzhou rebels ran for more than two hours, Huangfu Jianshou suddenly rushed into the rear army of the rebels with the recuperated Han cavalry, at this time the Liangzhou rebels were already sleepy and tired, and the soldiers were tired, plus the old, weak, sick and disabled mostly, although the kingdom left a hundred elite cavalry as an early warning, but the unstoppable Han cavalry still broke through the rear army of the rebels at once, and after several back-and-forth charges, the demoralized rebel rear army suddenly collapsed and fled.
However, although the rear army of the Liangzhou army suffered a catastrophe, when the Han cavalry rushed to kill, it also gave the front army and the Chinese army of the Liangzhou coalition army a chance to react and dispatch. In the heart of the kingdom, the old, weak, sick and affiliated tribes of the rear army were originally abandoned by him, rather than leaving the elite troops to be bitten and eaten by the Han cavalry after being broken, it is better to directly send these remnants to the mouth of the Han army, so as to give the Chinese army's brigade enough time to react to take the corresponding mobilization of troops and horses.
The Chinese army of the Liangzhou coalition army had stopped retreating at this time, and in the sound of mobilization of the kingdom's hissing exhaustion, although the Liangzhou army that was blocked from returning had relatives, but in the face of the threat that the Han cavalry was about to kill behind, they still had to turn around and face the enemy, and chose to fight to the death with the Han army here.
"My warriors of Liangzhou, now that the enemy army has broken through our rear army, they are about to kill in front of us, tell me, do you want to return home?"
"Yes! Homecoming, homecoming, homecoming—"
The kingdom is dressed in armor at the moment, holding a long sword in front of these men from all over Liangzhou to make the final mobilization, after being touched to the depths of the heart of the desire to survive, the sudden burst of blood makes the already fierce Liangzhou soldiers into berserk warriors, they all raise their weapons to strike, beat their chests to respond to the kingdom's call to return home, among which the Qiang warriors directly ripped off their leather robes, revealing their furry chests and screaming, venting their long-accumulated anger.
Seeing that his morale was available, the kingdom, which had been gloomy since the withdrawal of troops, finally relaxed slightly, he looked at the soldiers in front of him, and frowned slightly. This is not all the strength of the Chinese army, the strength of the Chinese army is as much as 40,000, of which only more than 10,000 troops led by Ma Teng are in their hands, and the other more than 20,000 soldiers and horses are Han Sui's descendants, who are tightly held by Han Sui, and no one else can be mobilized. Now that more than 10,000 troops of the rear army have been disabled, the 15,000 men and horses of the front army led by his eldest son Wang Fan have begun to turn around and move closer to the left flank of the Chinese army, preparing for a decisive battle with the main force of the pursuing Han army. The remaining right wing can only be handed over to Han Sui's more than 20,000 people, this road has the most people, but it is also the most uneasy place in the kingdom, he thought about it, and decided to make another deal with Han Sui before the battle.
When the kingdom came to the front on the right flank with dozens of personal soldiers riding fast horses, Han Sui's soldiers and horses had all been mobilized and prepared, Han Sui was also dressed in military uniform at this time, surrounded by a group of wolf-like soldiers, and his horse was patrolling his soldiers on the periphery with a serious face.
The kingdom saw that although Han Sui's soldiers and horses were also in a hurry to turn around, but the formation was neat and orderly, and the scheduling of the various departments was also orderly, he couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart, Han Sui's men and horses have been fighting endlessly since the first year of Zhongping, although there are victories and defeats, but there are constantly new forces to join, and under the big waves and sands, it seems to have become an elite division that has been in the formation for a long time.
The military situation in front of him was urgent, and the kingdom didn't have time to praise the majesty of Han Sui's soldiers and horses in person, so he directly said his military arrangement:
"Wen Yue, the cavalry of the Han army has been covered, I am afraid that the main force of the Han army is only a few miles away from here, I personally led the army to meet the enemy in the center, there are 15,000 men and horses of the front army on the left flank, and the soldiers and horses on the right flank are the most, led by you personally, when the two armies are fighting, we will rely on you and your soldiers more!"
Han Sui's face was solemn, and he stretched out his hand to hold his fist on the horse and said:
"The general does not have to worry, now the army is united to resist the enemy, so he will do his best to defeat the enemy with the generals!"
After receiving the guarantee promised by Han Sui, the heart that had been hanging before the war of the kingdom finally let go of most of it, and he rode his horse close to Han Sui's side and said in a low voice:
"Don't worry about the text, although the Han army is fierce, but the terrain here is open, which is conducive to my Xiliang cavalry to drive back and forth, we only need to work together to resist the enemy, with the strength of my Liangzhou men and horses, it is difficult for the Han army to break through our front eagerly, as long as it is until the twilight, the Han army does not dare to fight at night, naturally it will be led, and then we can take advantage of the night to leave calmly and drive straight to Longyou!"
"Great goodness, we are waiting to be invincible, as long as we move forward with one heart, this battle will be won!"
Han Sui showed a happy and sincere expression on the kingdom's plan, and he was also quite optimistic about the current situation, and the two of them who were full of confidence immediately looked at each other and smiled.
···
Just when the kingdom once again received Han Sui's promise, and the two of them were at ease, the main force of the Han army led by Huangfu Song had also arrived.
"Woo-woo-"
As the long horn sounded, Yan Xing, who was on the left flank of the coalition army, raised his eyes and looked slowly, only to see a crimson Han army gradually appear on the southeast highland, followed by a group of elite cavalry, bringing up a puff of smoke and dust. Again, the forest of spears and halberds slowly advanced with the firm pace of the soldiers, the armor of the soldiers was shining brightly, and the sharp edges of the Han army's weapons shone in the light of the high sky above the sun. Looking further back, there was a boundless Han sergeant striding in, and the crimson military uniforms were in full swing.
Yan Xing licked his chapped lips, he knew that this was the main force of the Han army led by Huangfu Song. The fierce Han cavalry was only the vanguard of the pursuit, and after defeating the rear army of the coalition army, they did not act rashly in the face of the central army of the coalition army, but roamed around the periphery like wolves and quietly watched the weakness of their prey, and now with the arrival of the main force of the Han army, they will also reveal their long-hidden minions.
Looking around, the location was not exactly in favor of the coalition forces, as the kingdom said. The cavalry of the Han army was the first to occupy the high ground in the southeast, and they had already grasped the initiative when they were pursuing, and they first took this piece of land.
The northwest-southeast flow of the river just made a bend here, and the wide river channel spread westward to a large tidal flat, and after the beginning of spring, river reeds began to emerge again, which provided good cover for the right flank of the Han army, but it was not conducive to the left flank of the coalition where Yan Xing was to send out cavalry to threaten the flank of the Han army.
The only thing that is commendable is that both the front and the right flank are flat grass, which is conducive to the galloping and running of the Xiliang cavalry, which is the battlefield chosen by the two warring sides for the main force to fight.
It is also the battlefield that determines the life and death of Yan Xing's small group of people!
