Chapter 565: The Drum Beat Heroically Sees You Off
Gongsun Zhan rode a thousand, and the Youzhou Raider was suddenly like a fierce tiger, followed by his white horse, and went straight to the rear of the Yellow Turban Moth Thief Army, where the Zhangjiao carriage was.
Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Gongsun Zhan's personal guards were in charge, and their younger brother Gongsun Yue led the troops, guarding the left and right, and the Yellow Turban Moth thieves who blocked back and forth were either dead or wounded, and after falling to the ground, the cavalry arrived, and it was difficult to have life.
The Youzhou army is like this here, and the Bingzhou army, which is on the right flank of the Yellow Turban Moth Thief Army formation with the Youzhou army, is also in a commotion. When Captain Lu Bu heard the military order of the Han Army, he also shouted left and right, and together with him, he went straight to the first corner of the thief, and he was so desperate that he naturally wanted to get the first merit, so as to count on further progress in the official position.
Of course, for Lu Bu, he naturally will not be a rare promise from Fuquan, after all, compared to the Youzhou Army and the Liangzhou Army without a backstage, they have hugged He Jin's thigh very early, and since He Jin became a general, the Bingzhou Army has no shortage of backstage in the court.
For a time, the right flank of the Yellow Turban Moth Thief, and the morale of the cavalry of Youerzhou was greatly shocked, under the leadership of Gongsun Zhan, Lu Bu, Zhang Fei and other fierce generals, it was only after the Yellow Turban Moth Thief killed the horse's leg brought about by the decline, and nearly 10,000 horsemen remained, and they rushed to the Zhangjiao carriage.
Seeing that the Youzhou soldiers were so swift, the Liangzhou army on the left wing of the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves on the other side was unwilling to be surpassed by it, and under the leadership of Guo Yan, Li Dao and other generals, they followed and attacked the Zhangjiao carriage.
The Liangzhou veteran took the lead in the raid, and those young talents were naturally not ambiguous, only to see that after the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry, there were hundreds of horses, as if they suddenly went berserk, deeply penetrated into the Yellow Turban Moth Thief Array, and in a short period of time, they fought to enter the depth, surpassing Guo, Li and others.
"I don't want us to be old, and our bravery is not as good as this generation of teenagers!" Zhang Ji, who rarely spoke, suddenly shook his head and sighed after seeing those people clearly after fighting: "Old man! Old! ”
When the rest of the generals heard the voice, they also looked at it, and when they saw Zhang Xiu, Hu Feng, Yang Aruo, Pang De and other young and middle-aged heroes in the army, they couldn't help but agree with what Zhang Ji said. It stands to reason that by virtue of experience, the depth of their attack should be deeper than that of these young people, but Zhang Xiu, Hu Feng and others are all fierce generals who followed Zhang Huan in the past and sent troops to recruit Xianbei, although they are young, but the combat experience is not small, so compared to Zhang Ji and other veterans, they are both young and have not too much experience on the battlefield, no wonder Zhang Ji and others want to serve the old.
This point, even Dong Zhuo's cronies, Wang Fang, Li Meng and others, who were born in the old department, also had to obey. Compared with the older generation of generals under Dong Zhuo such as Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, they are younger, but even so, they are still much worse than Zhang Xiu, Hu Feng and others.
It's just that among the veterans in Liangzhou, most people are lamenting that they are old, but there are also people lamenting bad luck, this person is Dong Min who fought with Zhang Ji and others, but he also has another identity, that is, the brother of Dong Zhuo, the general of Dongzhong Lang, who has just been punished by the imperial court.
After Dong Zhuo was convicted at that time, Dong Min, who was also in the army, was not arrested, but it was obvious that his ability and reputation were not as good as his brother's, and he couldn't control these frontier generals under his brother at all. Even, when these border generals, because the dragons had no leader, and Huangfu Song did not protect the interests of the Liangzhou people, they finally united and prepared to join Fuquan, who was destined for the Liangzhou people, Dong Min had no way to stop it.
Looking at the brave and warlike young people in Liangzhou in front of him, Dong Min kept saying that his brother Dong Zhuo was not worthy, if the brother was not punished, I am afraid that with Huangfu Song's self-determination of the loyalty of the Liangzhou people, the elder brother, who has always had a reputation for military exploits in Liangzhou, will definitely have the means to make these young people convinced.
After all, since Zhang Huan's death, these Liangzhou Junjie recruited by him back then, although there is no main general, they have long been integrated into the Liangzhou group, and it can be said that they have a strong sense of belonging to the Liangzhou army.
Moreover, among these people, Zhang Xiu and Hu Feng are both nephews and nephews of Zhang Ji and Li Dao, the generals of the elder brother Dong Zhuo's cronies, and Dong Zhuo is destined to have a relationship with them, and they are very sure that they will join the Liangzhou army of Dong Zhuo's faction.
In fact, originally after Dong Zhuo was appointed as the general of Dongzhong Lang and took over the war to pacify the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves in Jizhou, Zhang Xiu, Hu Feng, Yang Aruo, and Pang De, the elite young people in Liangzhou left by Zhang Huan in the past, were transferred from Liangzhou by the imperial court and temporarily subordinated to Dong Zhuo. And Dong Zhuo is not a mortal, he can naturally see the strength of these people, during this time, he also kept making moves to win over these Liangzhou elites, and planned to wait for the war to end, so as to subdue these Liangzhou elites, so as to increase his reputation and power in Liangzhou.
As a result, I never thought that Dong Zhuo would be punished and dismissed from office before he could fully exert himself, and he didn't know if he could be an official again. Of course, for these Liangzhou elites, they choose Liangzhou bigwigs to take refuge, and they don't necessarily have to choose their brother Dong Zhuo, in fact, they can also choose the current Han army commander, who is also from Liangzhou, Huangfu Song, whose family is a Liangzhou general, and his uncle is one of the famous "Liangzhou Sanming" Huangfu Gui. It can be said that Huangfu Song can succeed now, in addition to his own ability, that is, relying on the prestige and foundation left by his uncle, the most important of which is naturally the elite of the border army inherited by the people of Liangzhou.
If his brother Dong Zhuo can survive the disaster in Jizhou, in Dong Min's mind, as long as he absorbs the blood and blood of these young men in Liangzhou, Dong Zhuo will not worry about not growing in strength and becoming a famous general in Liangzhou in the frontier, and he will have more military exploits in the future, and the future will be greater, and he will not even become the first in Liangzhou today.
However, now that all of this is nothing, Dong Min has to sigh that God is unfair, this beautiful thing did not fall to his brother, but to let Fu Liuchuan, an outsider, pick up so many talents in vain, and he feels hateful when he thinks about it.
At this time, if Fu Quan was here and knew Dong Min's plan, he would definitely agree with this, and at the same time, he would feel lucky, it was like walking shit luck, giving him the opportunity to have so many talents in Liangzhou at one time. After all, Liangzhou is now a well-known military general, Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song, but the former is punished and dismissed, and the latter has done something similar to betraying the interests of the Liangzhou army and enjoying the interests of the people of Youzhou.
And once Fuquan gets the support of these new and old Liangzhou generals, his strength will obviously skyrocket, and others should not be underestimated. In history, whether it is Huangfu Song, or Dong Zhuo, or even after Dong Zhuo's death, the Liangzhou warlords under his command can become famous or dominate the late Han Dynasty, the biggest reason is that the Liangzhou elite soldiers left by the "Liangzhou Sanming", and Fuquan got these soldiers and horses, which is definitely like a tiger.
Since the beginning of the war, several hours have passed, and time can be said to have flown by, and between the two armies, it is obvious that the strength of each unit has consumed a lot, but there are differences.
The Yellow Turban Moth thieves have few strict trainers, and now they wield their swords, obviously without their original strength, on the other hand, the Han army, although their faces also told them that they were almost at the limit, but the long-term training and rich combat experience made them even if they repeated boring fighting movements, but their posture was basically not deformed, and each sword was still very powerful.
As for the consequences of this, it is also obvious that I saw many Yellow Turban Moth thieves who lacked strength, when they wielded their swords and fought hand-to-hand with the Han army, they often collided with the opponent's weapon, and because of their low strength, they were bounced away by the Han army. Subsequently, the Han army, which acted like a machine, relied on its instinctive reaction to aim at the moth thief's life gate that was too late to react for a while, and slashed away, killing the moth thief who had been fighting with him for a long time.
This scene can be seen everywhere on the battlefield, and the situation has gradually reversed the unfavorable situation of the original Yellow Turban Moth thieves breaking through the two defense lines of the Han army as time drags on. The balance of victory also began to tilt to the side of the Han army, and the direct result was that the morale of the Yellow Turban Moth thieves began to decrease invisibly, while the Han army became more and more vigorous.
Of course, such an advantage is more obvious than that of the infantry, but the cavalry. After all, condescendingly, the Yellow Turban Moth Thief could not effectively threaten the cavalry by cutting off the horse's legs because of his strength and morale, and the Han cavalry was naturally more able to use the height and calmly swing his knife to cut and kill the foot soldiers.
The first to collapse was the left flank of the Yellow Turban Moth Thief, but, to everyone's surprise, it was not the Liangzhou Army that had been fighting for its life to break through the left flank of the Yellow Turban Moth Thief, but the army had been at the end of the Fuquan Division of more than 2,000 horsemen. It wasn't until just now that they suddenly exerted their strength under the leadership of Yan Yan and Wu Yi, and they were caught off guard by the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves who had consumed too much energy, and they couldn't defend at all, so they were already exhausted and fell.
The left flank of the Yellow Turban Moth Thief collapsed, and the experienced Han Army Iron Cavalry saw this good opportunity, so they naturally did not let it go, and they rushed to the collapsed gap and went to the middle army of the Moth Thief.
Soon, the gap in the Yellow Turban Moth Thief Army is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more people and horses in the Han Army's Iron Cavalry Charging Moth Thief Army, and the situation has begun to become clear, as long as the Han Army breaks through the Yellow Turban Moth Thief Army, the Moth Thief will be defeated. As for the moth thief side, there is no chance at all now, because the front army that they are frantically attacking is already in a stalemate with the Han army foot soldiers at the moment, and what is even more terrifying is that these front armies are now no longer crazy at the beginning of the war, and they are slowly falling behind.
A general anxiously rushed to the Chinese army, saluted Zhang Liang, and shouted sadly: "'General Rengong', 'General Rengong'...... The left wing is defeated, defeated...... Thousands of cavalry of the Han army approached the Chinese army, what should it be? ”
Zhang Liang looked at the situation on the left flank, nodded expressionlessly, his eyes were gloomy, and his heart ached. Although he was frightened on his face, he didn't speak, or rather, he was helpless at the moment, and the reason was that Guangzong's current terrain had already forced them into a dead end.
Guangzong, "Yu Gong" contained in it belongs to Jizhou, Shang Dynasty Emperor Xin built a dune palace here, the Western Zhou Dynasty belongs to the homeland of Xingguo, and it is also a place with a long history. It is precisely because of this, since the Shang Zhou Dynasty, this place is more built for the descendants, the rivers in the territory have been diverted several times, so far it can be said that it is connected to Julu in the north, Quzhou in the south, the sand dunes are on the left, Zhangshui surrounds its right, Gangfu belongs to each other, the forest is depressed, and Zhao is heavy, in order to control Qilu.
Its geographical location is special, so that countless major events occur here, such as the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, its land belongs to the Jin, the Warring States Period belongs to the Zhao State, Zhao Wuling King established the Dune Palace here, and later the famous "Dune Palace Change", a generation of male lord Zhao Wuling King starved to death in the palace.
Later to the Qin Dynasty, its land belongs to Julu County, the first emperor of the ancient Qin Shi Huang died of illness here, of course, and because of this, there is another "dune change", Zhao Gao and Li Si killed the son Fusu, supported the enthronement of Qin II, and made a great contribution to the future Qin death.
Moreover, so far, to the Han Dynasty, its land is under the jurisdiction of Tangyang County, belongs to Julu County, in the first two years of the Yuan Dynasty, Liu Ruyi, the great-grandson of the King of Filial Piety, was the king of Guangzong, and built the country of Guangzong, covering the meaning of "promoting the son". In addition to the later country, to the Emperor Liu Wei of Suzong Xiaozhang of this dynasty, in the meaning of "the foundation of Emperor Guangxian", Tangyang County was analyzed, and Guangzong County was placed, which still belonged to Julu County.
Of course, whether it is "promoting Zongzi" or "building the foundation of Emperor Guangxian", Guangzong County has not fulfilled the trust of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and now, there is also a thing that will change the fortunes of the Han Dynasty, and it has almost become the base camp for overthrowing the foundation of the Han Dynasty for more than 400 years, which can be described as the "end of the dynasty", which is really embarrassing.
However, perhaps there is a providence in the dark, Guangzong is not only the base camp for overthrowing the Han Dynasty, but also because of the construction of later generations, resulting in the current Zhang Liang, there is no choice but to enter the army and the Han army to the death, otherwise he can only retreat to the city and wait for himself to starve to death.
The reason is that the current Guangzong battlefield is surrounded by Zhangshui in the west, and the east and north sides were dug and chiseled on both sides of the city by Lu Zhi when he was besieged, stretching for dozens of miles, and the south is the Han army camp, which can be said to be a lonely city in this place fundamentally.
Of course, retreating to the city at this moment, in fact, logically speaking, it is also a way to retreat, and then take advantage of the dark night and high wind to cross the river and escape. However, Zhang Liang had already sent people to investigate and know that on the other side of the Zhangshui, there was still a county soldier from Ji and Youerzhou waiting to cross the river, and they would appear, attack half-crossing, and kill them in Zhangshui together with Huangfu Song's army.
Dead land, the current situation, for them only, can only be a dead place. If they want to survive, they have only one way, and that is to break the Han army on the opposite side, even if they die, even if they can't defeat, they can only attack.
"Kill Zhang Jiao...... Kill Zhang Jiao......"
In my ears, thousands of Han horsemen shouted passionate slogans, and the sound seemed to be close at hand, like the note of asking for life. Zhang Liang raised his eyes and saw that Han Qi was rushing towards him at this moment.
Zhang Liang turned his head and coldly ordered: "Beat the drum...... The whole army is attacking, success or failure in one fell swoop! ”
This is the last drum, and it is a drum for Zhang Liang to fight to the death and finally inspire the morale of the soldiers. After this drum, Zhang Liang will also fight, of course, his eyes begging for death, and this drum is not as good as the send-off drum he gave to himself, as well as the believers and soldiers who were bewitched by their Taiping Dao!
Hundreds of men wrapped in yellow scarves burst into tears, as loyal believers in the Taiping Dao, for this last drum, they desperately shook their arms and beat the big drum in front of them.
"Boom! Boom! Knock ......"
The drum beat fiercely, Zhang Liang wrapped the yellow scarf on his head for the last time, and then raised his halberd and shouted sadly: "The sky is dead...... Huang Tian should stand...... Years old in Jiazi...... The world is in good luck...... Kill! ”
"Kill ......"
Seeing this, countless personal soldiers echoed loudly, and then held troops and followed Zhang Liang to meet the Han cavalry.
