In the early autumn, Shimen, Liaoxi County, an ancient town that was not yet a famous town in later generations, is now the place where the assembled Han army and the rebels of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju fought bloodily.

The two armies relative to Shimen, the Han army's main formation, Zhonglang general Meng Yi and Huwuhuan captain Gongsun Zhan, led Youzhou infantry cavalry 20,000, Jizhou general Sima Yanliang, Gao Ran rate of 5,000 foot soldiers, and the thief Zhonglang general Fu De, broken thief captain Li Yi 12,000 cavalry, the battle known as the "100,000 people" rebels.

On the land of Youyun, since the previous Taiping Road incident, the powerful Yellow Turban Moth thief killed Guo Xun, the assassin of Youzhou at that time, and Liu Wei, the Taishou of Guangyang County, and was finally suppressed by the imperial army, and once again broke out a war of more than 100,000 people.

Of course, Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju's rebels are mostly homeless people who have been coerced, or rangers who admire their reputation in Youzhou, although there are more than 100,000 people, but the real combat power is still the pro-army formed by the two of them when they originally started the incident, based on their respective family soldiers, and more than 10,000 Hu cavalry formed by the Wuhuan people in the three counties.

Therefore, judging from the elite of both sides, there is not much difference in the strength of the Han army and the rebels, the only gap is the tens of thousands of rangers who are equivalent to cannon fodder in the rebels.

The crows hovered in the sky, as if they had smelled death, and the weeds of early autumn receded and the tender green of summer, and the yellow and green overlapped, like a colorful carpet spread across the field.

On it, there are more than 30,000 Han troops who are waiting for the battle, 20,000 foot soldiers are lined up in the shape of a glyph, with banners and armor, illuminating the world and the world, and 3,000 light cavalry guards are placed on the left and right wings.

In the Han army, there are only more than 3,000 cavalry guards, these cavalry except for Gongsun Zhan's 2,000 righteous cavalry, the rest are cavalry under the command of Fude, it is Fude after destroying the Taishan thieves, a lot of horses were captured, and the Liangzhou cavalry brought by Liyi in the original army, together with the light cavalry.

Because of the uneven personnel of Fude's cavalry, the combat strength was not favored by the rebellious Gongsun Zhan, so it was arranged to defend the rear army. Of course, as a relative of the emperor and Fuquan's cousin, Gongsun Zhan was an old official of Fuquan, no matter how arrogant he was, he just euphemistically said that the rear army was unattended, so he handed over the matter of guarding the Chinese army to Fude.

The autumn wind blew the severe cold of the side plug, and the Han generals led by Gongsun Zhan looked at the black shadow slowly squirming at the end of the opposite world.

Gongsun Zhan's calm face showed a trace of murderous aura, pointed at the rebels with a horsewhip, turned his head and asked everyone: "I want to break through the Chinese army with a sudden horse, and the army will then press up, do you have any objections?" ”

Before the words fell, before the others could speak, they saw a clerk beside Gongsun Zhan quietly come out and said: "Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju are both children of the wealthy family, born in a rich house, they have never been in charge of the army, they are brave on the surface, self-reliant and self-reliant, but they are extremely timid in their hearts. Like such people, let alone generals, they are generals who can dispatch a general at will, or they can decide their thieves in a battle. "This scribe is called Guan Jing, who was originally a cool official in Youzhou, who was flattering and had no big plans, but was trusted and favored by Gongsun Zhan.

In fact, although Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju are the sons of the wealthy clan of the border county, it is true that they have not had any good military achievements, but after all, they are all people who have been the 2,000 stone guards of the Han Dynasty, and they have achieved it by their own ability. As Taishou, they will not be as incompetent as the scribe said, and they have no experience in commanding troops, but the war is imminent, of course, Guan Jing must strengthen the determination of Shangguan Gongsun Zhan, as well as improve the morale of the Han army.

Hearing this, the corners of Gongsun Zhan's mouth rose slightly, obviously, he was very happy to hear it, and then whipped it and pointed directly at the rebels: "Bai Ma Yi obeys the order, kill ......"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

……

After Gongsun Zhan's order, behind the Chinese army, there were two thousand well-equipped cavalry volunteers, who shouted in an accent that was obviously tinged with the land of the swallow.

They are all riding white horses, neatly side by side, at the moment they are all silent, this kind of appearance, at first glance is the elite of the elite, they are all the elite cavalry selected by Gongsun Chan in the north over the years, and because he likes to ride white horses, so they all choose white horses to ride. And Gongsun Zhan is known as the "White Horse General" because he rides a white horse and has a high rank to protect the Wuhuan Captain, so the cavalry under his command is also known as the "White Horse Righteous Servant".

There is no doubt that, judging from discipline alone, Gongsun Zhan, the cavalry on a white horse, was far behind the cavalry under the command of Fu De, who was also in the rear, and was even much stronger than the cavalry guarding the left and right flanks of the Han army. Of course, this is not to say that the Liangzhou soldiers brought by Liyi are poor, but they are mixed with more people than them, and the newly recruited Central Plains cavalry has significantly reduced the temperament and combat power of their border army.

"Woo...... Woo woo woo ...... "The passionate horn sounded, and in an instant, the sound shook the sky, and the two thousand white horses led by Gongsun Zhan, the captain of Wuhuan, went to the opposite side of the rebels.

At this time, the rest of the generals of the Han army also reacted, just now Gongsun Chan and Guan Jing were singing and harmonizing, and they didn't give them time to speak at all, so they gave the strategy. At this moment, such as Yan Liang, Gao Lan, Fu De and others, they couldn't help muttering in their hearts, I used to hear that Gongsun Chan had become famous under Fuquan and suddenly rose to the throne, and he was unruly, but now it seems that this is the case, many people have the same official position as him, even if he is an important captain of the Han Dynasty, and his position is slightly higher than them, but Gongsun Chan is so playing with power and completely regards himself as the chief general of the Han army, which is really arrogant, and even they have the cousin of the late master of Gongsun Chan by their side, which is not taken into account by him, which is really unreasonable.

Of course, among the present, there was one person who saw this, and he felt the same way in his heart, he was Fude. At this time, Fu De shook his head regretfully, Gongsun Chan is unruly, unless it is a person like his eldest brother Fu Quan who can convince this person, the others, I'm afraid they are not in the eyes of Gongsun Zhan, of course, similar to him, Fu Quan happens to have one person, he is his deputy general, and it can even be said that he is the backbone of his army, the thief captain Lu Yi.

Captain of the thief, this is the canonization of the imperial court to Ko Yi after they exterminated the Taishan group of thieves, and Fu De, because of this war, sat firmly in his position as the general of the thief.

As for Koji Yi, Fude, who has been with him for a lot of time, already knows that the other party is a two-edged knife, and he uses it well. The exercise of driving is invincible, and if it is not used well, it will hurt itself, and it is by no means something that ordinary people can master.

At this time, watching Gongsun Zhan's two wings of cavalry rush out of the main formation, rushing straight to the front army of the rebels on the opposite side like a tide, Fu De was worried about Koji Yi, but he was disdainful of Gongsun Chan in his heart.

Originally, I thought that Gongsun Chan could break through such a great prestige in northern Xinjiang, and there must be something outstanding, but I didn't expect to be so arrogant, not self-sufficient, and impulsive to attack. The only thing that allowed Koji Yi to look up a few times was the white horse Yicong who escaped from the Youzhou Raid, which was indeed a rare cavalry elite in the world, but unfortunately, they were loyal to the people......

Lu Yi knew that if he and Gongsun Chan fought against him, and Gongsun Chan dared to charge like this, he only needed hundreds of Liangzhou soldiers who were familiar with the Qiang people's tactics to stop them with contradictions, and with the bow and crossbow, they could make Gongsun Chan's two thousand white horses obey and be wiped out in a battle.

"I have heard that Gongsun Zhan is famous in Hebei for making good use of cavalry, and now that I see it, it is really not worthy of the name." Lu Yi shook his head and said, as we all know, Lu Yi was born in Xiliang, and fought with the Qiang people all the year round, the Qiang people were ominous to end of illness, and they were lucky to die in battle, and they were brave to this point, but they were repeatedly defeated by the defeated army.

However, these thoughts, Koji Yi only dares to put in his heart now, although his family Jincheng Koji clan has now gone to the Western Regions with Han Sui, and his loyal Han will no longer doubt it, but after all, Gongsun Chan is now also a general of the national dynasty in the north, if he dares to be disrespectful to Gongsun Chan, he may be targeted by Gongsun Chan, who is difficult to tolerate people on this face, after all, in the Central Plains and the north, his power is completely inferior to Gongsun Chan, even if he and Gongsun Chan are now old with Fuquan.

Of course, if Koji Yi is the same as Fuquan, from the later generations, he will naturally know that in real history, he will fight at the boundary bridge, so that Bai Ma Yi will be destroyed from the first battle, so that Gongsun Zhan, who was once unruly and wanted to swallow the north with his own strength, will be completely defeated. It's just that now, in today's history, I don't know if he still has the opportunity to let a generation of northern famous generals be spiritually destroyed.

Getting back to the point, it is said that Gongsun Chan led the White Horse to follow the righteous followers, and the momentum of the river bursting the embankment was discharged, and the huge roar resounded through the battlefield, and the thunderous shouting and killing sound went straight to the sky. This kind of majesty, the earth shakes the mountains, enough to frighten people's courage, from the trembling infantry soldiers in front of the rebels, it can be seen that the elite selected by Gongsun Zhan from the Youzhou Assault Cavalry is indeed extraordinary.

Seeing this, the rebel generals Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju hurriedly ordered people to beat drums to strengthen their momentum, and at the same time ordered the front army to resist with shields and spears and crossbows. Some of the methods of warfare of the border army, both of them know, and they have been training in this way in the past few days since the rebellion.

It's just that it has never been known what effect it can have, after all, the people they fought against in the early days were ordinary county soldiers, and thousands of cavalry like Bai Ma Yicong had never encountered it. Therefore, today is not only the day for them to test the effectiveness of their training, but also the decisive moment to determine their future fate.

Suddenly, the war drums of the rebels thundered, and the horns of the white horse in front of them intersected with each other, until there was a momentum of shaking the mountains.

The rebel front army tried to maintain its formation, pushing the cart forward, many of the soldiers were newly recruited soldiers, who had not yet been on the battlefield, if it were not for the coercion of the superiors, I am afraid they would have fled long ago.

Soon, Bai Ma Yi entered the firing range, and for a while, the bows and crossbows were fired in unison, especially the border bed crossbows captured by the rebels, and the crossbow arrows popped out in an instant, cutting through the sky, whining, and flying like meteors to Bai Ma Yicong.

Those crossbow arrows were nearly five feet long, several inches thick, hideous in appearance, and incredibly powerful, whether you were wearing several layers of leather armor, iron armor, or even fish scale armor, if you were wearing an arrow in your body, it would be a bloody hole, and it would be useless for any defense. With today's medical standards, even if you don't hit the vital point, the chance of being able to save your life is one in ten if you just shoot your hands and feet.

In other words, the crossbow arrow in the body is equivalent to the death sentence, and its deterrent power to the soldiers is ten times more terrifying than the bow, crossbow, sword and halberd, especially those white horse righteous servants who are sprinting, plus the power of the cavalry to sprint, if they are shot, they are basically finished, and there is no possibility of survival.

However, fortunately, the rebels did not capture many complete bed crossbows that could be used, and Bai Ma Yi was never a vegetarian, and when he saw the crossbow arrows coming, he did not gather densely, so he just sent his life, but bowed his head and scattered, and if he was shot, they only blamed God for having no eyes.

With only two rounds of crossbow arrows and more than 300 casualties, the white horse rebels crashed into the rebel formation, and in just a moment, the elite of these Youzhou cavalry broke through the rebels' car formation around the periphery, and then entered the face of the cavalry attack, completely forgetting to train the tactics and making a group of rebel foot soldiers.

Seeing this, Gongsun Chan and Bai Ma Yi did not hesitate, picked up the long knife in their hands, cut it when they met someone, and then attacked the rebel army directly, wanting to chisel through the rebels with one blow. As for the rebel army formation, although many generals led troops to resist, they were all scattered by Bai Ma Yicong, and coupled with the rebels' already chaotic formation, the situation was already settled with one blow.

In the rear, when the generals of the Han army saw this scene, they all looked at each other, such as Fu De, who was not rich enough in military experience, could only nod and praise "General Baima is worthy of being a strong general in the north" and other words.

However, it is obvious that for other Han generals who have been in battle for a long time, they are all scolding their mothers in their hearts, doesn't it mean that Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju killed the governors of the prefecture and county, and the soldiers and horses under their command are strong? How could it be so easily broken by Gongsun Zhan?

Especially Lu Yi, who still has no change in face, almost has an urge to kill in his heart, in his opinion, it is not Gongsun Zhanqiang, he can only blame the rebels for being too wasteful, if he is replaced, even if there is no Liangzhou strong soldier, there are so many infantry, there is still a way to deal with Gongsun Zhan.

Of course, everyone present did not think that in just a few months, Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju had expanded from tens of thousands of people, including the Wuhuan cavalry, to more than 100,000 horses. Moreover, how Gongsun Zhan's tactics are abolished, but the white horse righteous servants under his command are not wasted at all, and for various reasons, this has created a situation where Gongsun Chan and Bai Ma Yi can fight all the way to the Chinese army after breaking through to the rebel army, which makes the rebels frightened.

It's too late to think about why the rebels are so cowardly, the Han generals present, even those with poor military experience like Volde, know that now is a good time for the whole army to press, with the rebels, which are already in partial chaos, as long as the army is pressed, it will inevitably win a big victory.

At that moment, everyone glanced at each other, and returned to each department one after another, leading the infantry of the headquarters to directly suppress the rebel army formation, and the first soldiers and horses were the eight thousand Youzhou cavalry on the two wings led by Meng Yi, the general of Zhonglang.

(Guan Jing) this cool official is also flattering and has no big plans, especially for Zhan's trust.

(Gongsun) is a good white horse, repeatedly multiplied by the captive, and the captives are called "white horse generals". Therefore, the elite 3,000 were selected, and they rode the white horse, called "White Horse Righteous Servant".
