Chapter 562: Intrigue and Cavalry
On the battlefield, the situation is changing rapidly, and Huangfu Song and others can't help but wonder why the strength of the Taiping Road Yellow Turban Moth Thieves has increased so quickly, not to mention that now the Han Army must be reorganized, otherwise if the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves are allowed to break through like this, I am afraid that they will soon be able to directly break through the depth of the Han Army.
"Ordered the cavalry to attack, outflank them on both flanks, and killed the thief's first horned carriage and captured his head. In this way, the enemy will crush itself! Huangfu Song pointed to the Zhangjiao carriage in front of him, and immediately said: "Order again, the rear army is pressing, and we must help the front army stabilize its position, just wait for the cavalry to break the thief, and the whole army will attack and destroy the enemy with one move." ”
The herald clenched his fists and said "No", and then picked up the command flag in his hand, waved it several times, and issued an order to the front army, and the strategists around Huangfu Song heard what he said, and they all praised: "What Zhonglang said is extremely true!" ”
"General, Huangfu Zhonglang has an order!"
The front army of the Han army, who was scolding the front army for breaking through the defense line by the moth thieves, heard the shouts of Dian Wei around him, and then followed the prestige, and soon read the military order of Huangfu Song.
"In this case, the emperor has an order, and he will act according to the order!" Fu Quan said that according to his original intention, he wanted to organize elite soldiers to fight back and kill the thief army, so as to stabilize the formation.
After all, as long as most of the loyal fanatical believers of the Yellow Turban Moth Thief are eliminated at the forefront, those foot soldiers behind them who do not have the courage to brave the arrows of the Han army will naturally not be able to do the violent momentum of the Yellow Turban Moth Thief fanatical believers charging with their lives just now, so that the Han army can resist the attack of the Yellow Turban Moth Thief.
However, now that Huangfu Song is ready to press the whole army and end the battle directly, Fu Quan does not intend to stop it. In the end, the Han army has always maintained the military formation, and it is nothing more than to use the military formation to consume the thief army at the same time, while testing the specific strength of the Yellow Turban Moth thief, to see if the other party has a hidden big killing weapon.
It's just that in this confrontation, although the strength of the Yellow Turban Moth Thief skyrocketed because Zhang Jiao took the initiative to sit in the town, it was obvious that after the whole army was dispatched, there was no shocking military formation tactics.
Perhaps, this time out of the city field battle, and the Han army for the final decisive battle, in the eyes of the thief leader "Zhang Jiao", his appearance is the big killer of the Yellow Turban Moth thief. After all, the effect of this battle is also very prominent, and the Yellow Turban Moth Thief's breakthrough will be waiting for the Han army formation, breaking through two solid defense lines in a row, which is rare.
You must know that in the past, when their Taiping Road Yellow Turban Army fought with the Han army in formation, unless the other party had few people, relying on their lives and crossbows to kill the enemy from a distance than the Han army, they could break through the Han army's military formation, otherwise if the strength of the two armies was not much different, they could break through one Han army's defense line, even if it was lucky, let alone now, they could break through two in one go.
However, if the Taiping Dao Yellow Turban Army did not have other hidden weapons of great destruction, then just by relying on the appearance of "Zhang Jiao", the cult leader, the morale and strength brought about by the appearance of the cult leader skyrocketed, although it could compete with the Han army for a while, if it wanted to defeat the Han army, it would undoubtedly be very difficult.
Because until this time, the Han army was only defending with military formations, and had not yet begun to have any effective counterattacks, as the Han army that could rely on the infantry army formation, it could reverse the Xiongnu and Xianbei steppe peoples, and their counterattacks were no worse than relying on the military formation.
"Woo! Woo! Woo......"
On the right flank of the Han army, listening to the familiar and cordial sound of the horn, the border cavalry in Deliangzhou, who had been waiting for a long time with hazy eyes, seemed to be rejuvenated and sobered up a little.
Guo Yan yawned loudly, his mouth was open enough to stuff an apple, and while riding the horse, he did not forget to stretch his waist straight on the horse, showing off the skillful horse control skills of the people in the border area.
You must know that in the era when there were no iron stirrups, the cavalry of the Han army used unilateral wooden horse pedals as a buffer on the horse, and on weekdays, Liangzhou border generals like Guo Yan disdained to use horses to pedal, so the action just now was completely done by relying on his waist strength and the control of the muscles of his legs.
Stretching out his hand and rubbing his eyes, Guo Yan smiled and said: "I wanted to sleep soundly, but I smelled the war, so let the emperor know today that there are no such cowards in Liangzhou men!" ”
Li Dao beside him ridiculed when he heard the voice: "Guo Duoru, a horse thief, has not changed his thief nature, he is so lazy, he has already fallen asleep, so he will return to the camp, and this time the thief will be done by us!" ”
"Exactly! Yes, extremely! ”
"Guo Duo, it's better to go back to Liangzhou, steal horses for a living, and we can do it for you in the big war!"
……
With Li Dao's ridicule of the rhythm of his vocal cords, soon the rest of the Liangzhou generals, such as Hu Zhen, Wang Fang, Li Meng, and others, followed Li Dao's ridicule and continued to verbally "fall into the ground" to Guo Yan.
"The guinea dogs, the advantage of words is humiliating, if you kill the enemy as well as me, you will regret it!" Seeing that everyone was bullying him, and even using his black history to arrange it, Guo Yan was so angry that he blushed, pointed at them and scolded, and the cheeks on his face were bulging and had nowhere to vent. Of course, what he hates the most is Li Dao, who took the lead in stirring up trouble, after all, among the people present, only he and Li Dao, Zhang Ji and others will be Dong Zhuo's old subordinates, and the others will come later than them, if there is no Li Dao's coaxing, Guo Yan is to give them a few guts, these guys don't dare to hack themselves so much, but now that Li Dao is doing this, these people are obviously finding the opportunity to unscrupulously "fall into the well" and black himself, but he is helpless.
"Hah! Ha! Ha! ”
Seeing Guo Yan's scene, all the generals in Liangzhou laughed, and for a while, the Liangzhou cavalry on the right flank did not seem to participate in the big battle, but as if they were holding a family banquet.
When others see this, they may say that these Liangzhou border soldiers are arrogant, but those who know the habits of these Liangzhou border soldiers don't dare to think like this, because laughing and scolding each other before the war has long been a common thing for these border soldiers, and maybe fighting a war is as simple as eating and drinking for them, and there is no need to be nervous at all. They are different from ordinary people, they have military frontiers every year, and they have long built these frontier soldiers into war machines that are not afraid of war, and in some respects, they even desire to a certain degree of war machine.
Of course, there is a reason why the generals of Liangzhou ridiculed Guo Yan. In fact, Guo Yan was not called Guo Yan before, but he was called Guo Duo, and what he did at that time was also shameful. Before he was convinced by Dong Zhuo, he did a horse stealing business, and the Liangzhou Thorn History at that time knew that there was a horse thief in Zhangye County, whose name was Guo Duo, and all the Hu tribes with horses in the border areas had him stealing more than a dozen horses, and even his people were bold and boundless, even the horses in the horse farm under the care of the border county of the Han Kingdom dared to steal, and it was repeatedly smooth, and no one could control it. If it weren't for Dong Zhuo, a strong man in Liangzhou, who subdued him, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to let this guy become a big strong man in the borderland, of course, his strength was obtained by horse thieves.
Now, by these old Liangzhou brothers, before the war, the old things were brought up again, and they changed the law and teased him with their words, no wonder this Xiliang man was so angry that he even turned red.
"Boom! Boom! Knock ......"
The drums of war sounded heavily, and Zhang Ji, who had been silent, suddenly rode his horse and said: "Brothers from Liangzhou, Dong Zhonglang has been convicted, and fortunately Fu Zhonglang will protect us without worry." This time, even if all the soldiers and horses are buried here, we must also fight for the head of this thief, and we must not let the people of Youzhou succeed! ”
As soon as the words came out, the generals of Liangzhou were silent at first, and then remembered the grievances with the Youzhou army during this time, and they all echoed it.
Guo Yan was the first to speak: "Don't worry, if the people of Youzhou are called to win the first merit today, I Guo Yan will resign and return to his hometown and go back to Liangzhou to steal horses!" ”
"Liangzhou athletes, why not be afraid of cowards in Youzhou!"
"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! ”
……
"What are you going to do, kill with me!"
"Kill ......"
……
With the seemingly quarrel-like quarrel of the Liangzhou generals, more than 5,000 Liangzhou iron cavalry started instantly, and as the generals sprinted to the front of the Yellow Turban Moth thief army, and their morale was also further and more elevated and tyrannical with the continuous instigation of the generals, as if only killing could calm the anger in their hearts.
I saw that the Liangzhou Iron Horse continued to accelerate and accelerate...... The faster and faster they ran, the faster and faster they ran, the sound of the horses' hooves seemed to crush the earth and shatter the sky.
Behind them, the Knights of Mikawa and the generals of the Fifth Cavalry of Kyoto looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and then led their troops to follow closely. The dispute between the Youzhou Army and the Liangzhou Army, they all saw it in their eyes, and naturally knew the reason why the Liangzhou people were so impulsive, and since the Liangzhou people were willing to rush to the front, they were happy to do it, and at the same time followed behind, cutting off some heads and picking up credit.
From the very beginning, they didn't think that they would work hard with all their strength to compete for the first merit of this thief, anyway, there were people in their capital, no matter which battle, this credit would never lack their share, and they would not desperately grab this merit at all. And this biggest first achievement, is to attack the horned carriage that is tightly guarded by the Yellow Turban Moth thief, obviously, want this first achievement, not the first to rush into the thief army formation, can be grabbed, sometimes wait until the front army is exhausted by the enemy, they latecomers, maybe they can be lucky to pick up a little cheap.
However, at this moment, on the right flank, there are still troops slower than the soldiers and horses near these divisions, and they are the cavalry of his headquarters commanded by Yan Yan, who was also arranged by Fuquan on the right flank.
"General, Liangzhou and Si Li are all riding together, how are we?" Yan Yan's side, who was appointed by Fuquan as Yan Yan's deputy general, Wu Yi, a newcomer from Chen Liuren, asked Yan Yan for instructions, his face was anxious, obviously he didn't want to be too far away from those foreign cavalry, otherwise in this case, he would definitely have fewer opportunities to make meritorious contributions in the future.
When he was in Chenliu, after Fuquan's slight courtesy, in the end, Wu Yi thought twice, or resigned from the county and put himself under Fuquan's command, after all, compared with being under Fuquan's command, he was in Chenliu, a large county in the Central Plains, and it was too difficult to wait for filial piety and Maocai's official quotas.
Looking at the cavalry in front of him, and the distance of his own cavalry, Yan Yan nodded and said, "After two drums, the whole army will attack!" ”
"No!"
Just when Wu Yi saluted and responded, and was about to turn around and give an order, he heard Yan Yan say again: "Ziyuan, slow down!" ”
"Huh?"
"You don't have to worry, I ordered the soldiers to slow down, it was Zhonglang's instructions, if you want to get the first merit in this battle, capture the thief's first horn, not the first to enter the enemy's formation."
"Nakaro ......"
"Hmm!"
"But......" Wu Yi was surprised, obviously refusing to believe that Yan Yan was instructed by Fu Quan to deliberately let the cavalry go back, after all, this was undoubtedly at the starting line, and he would lose to the other Han cavalry who also wanted to take the lead.
Yan Yan looked at the Yellow Turban Moth Thief Army in front of him, and said in a slow tone: "The trapped beast is still fighting, what is the situation?" Guangzong Ruoke, Taiping Dao will be defeated, and there are more than 100,000 moth thieves in the city, how can they surrender lightly? This time we will fight hard, and we must not underestimate the enemy! ”
After Wu Yi heard this, he suddenly realized, and secretly said that he was still a little tender when he marched and fought, and then saluted Yan Yan, turned around and ordered the cavalry behind him to prepare.
At the same time, the left flank of the Han army mainly had the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry and the Youzhou Assault Cavalry, and the left wing cavalry with a small number of cavalry in other counties also charged to the army formation of the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves in the shouts of countless soldiers.
The difference is that on the left flank, except for a few cavalry from other counties who knew that they had few cavalry and could not get the first credit, the cavalry of nearly 10,000 and Youerzhou was desperately charging towards the army formation of the Yellow Turban Moth Thief.
After all, like the people of Liangzhou, the people of Youzhou will naturally not lag behind others for the sake of Lu Zhi and their own merits. As for the people of Bingzhou, although they have no grievances with the Youzhou Army and the Liangzhou Army, after all, the Bingzhou Army is also from the border army, so they naturally desire war and advocate military merit.
"Boom! Boom! After the two drum......s, more than 2,000 horsemen from the Fuquan headquarters on the right flank of the Han army, under the leadership of the main general Yan Yan and the deputy general Wu Yi, charged towards the Yellow Turban Moth Thief Army.
It's right to choose Yan Yan, if you change Guan Yu, Huang Zhong and other generals, it is estimated that you will go to fight for merit with the rude and fierce men of the Liangzhou Army at this moment.
The Han army marched in front of the army, and Fu Quan saw that the cavalry of his own headquarters on the right flank, under the leadership of Yan Yan, fell behind the cavalry, so he breathed a sigh of relief and thought secretly.
In fact, it stands to reason that the commander of this cavalry is best to choose his old subordinates, and it is best to be led by tens of thousands of enemies like Guan Yu and Huang Zhong. However, I know very well that the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves under the command of this horn are terrible Fuquan, but I don't want my elite soldiers to lose here in vain, the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Moth Thieves, most of them are religious fanatics, but they will not be the same as ordinary soldiers, afraid of being crushed by war horses, if they use their flesh and cavalry to fight hard, then whoever charges to the enemy position first will be most likely to die.
Therefore, choosing Guan Yu and Huang Zhong, who are very proud of themselves, as the main generals, it is really possible to directly disobey the order, and after the other cavalry galloped, they followed and led the troops to attack. Of course, if there is a deputy general who can stop the two, Fuquan may still make the two generals, but it is obvious that looking at his subordinates, with the qualifications and military exploits of the two, no one dares to stop the two.
Therefore, after thinking about it again and again, Fuquan chose Yan Yan as the cavalry commander, and used Wu Yi, a newcomer, as the deputy general, he believed that even though Yan Yan was a little proud, but with Wu Yi's restraint, he must think deeply and would not easily say that he would disobey. As for the generals Guan and Huang, they were all invincible with the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves, and they all transferred them to the frontal battlefield to kill the enemy, which was a good way to block the mouths of those generals who wanted to break through the enemy with the cavalry.
Of course, in Fu Quan's heart, there was another idea, so he didn't think about letting the cavalry quickly penetrate into the enemy formation and capture the opponent's main general. In his memory, Zhang Jiao died of illness before Huangfu Song pacified the Yellow Turban, so Fu Quan had doubts about whether he could get and kill Zhang Jiao from the beginning.
Although many things are changing with his rebirth in this life, Fu Quan does not know the specific time of the Huangfu Song Rebellion in history, so he does not dare to make more assumptions, even if there is a carriage of "Zhang Jiao" on the battlefield in front of him, but before seeing the real person, Fu Quan still has no certainty.
Therefore, instead of letting his precious cavalry be lost in vain for a first merit that may not be available, Fu Quan should retain his strength, as for the credit, as a deputy general of the pacification of the chaos and the commander of the army before the battlefield, can he still have no merit?
