Chapter 31: The First Battle of Guangzong
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, the Han army had a meal, and the whole army went out of the camp and lined up under the city of Guangzong. Under www.biquge.info the pressure of the Han army, the gate of Guangzong was opened, and a group of Huang Jun troops lined up in a phalanx to confront the Han army. Zhang Jiao also rode a yellow horse with long legs and strong body, covering his body in a robe of the Wind Immortal Dao Bone, Huo Yu stared at Zhang Jiao's face for a long time, and didn't see anything wrong after all, history records that Zhang Jiao died of illness, why is there no trace of illness, is there a mistake in the historical record, or maybe my little butterfly has changed too much historical trajectory? Huo Yu, who was in deep thought, was suddenly awakened by the war drums, and the two sides had already finished arranging.
Compared with the Han army, the equipment of the Yellow Turban Army is much simpler, that is, the armor on the soldiers and the blades in their hands are lacking, and the only thing that can make the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army feel at ease is the thicker military formation than the Han army, and the ethereal faith in their hearts. Zhang Jiao's face was silent, and it was only when he looked at the enemy formation that his eyes flashed with a fierce color. Around Zhang Jiao, there were a group of sergeants dressed in leather armor and holding ring-headed knives, these people were the elite of the Yellow Turban Army, and they were also Zhang Jiao's last trump card, the legendary Yellow Turban Warrior.
Hundreds of crows quacked and circled in the air, looking like a dark cloud drifting by, and a big battle between the two sides was about to break out. With Lu Zhisheng's order, the order flag waved, the sound of the snare drum remembered rhythmically, and a team of archers lined up. In the rhythmic sound of war drums, a rain of arrows fell into the Yellow Turban Army, and the screams suddenly resounded on the battlefield. Passive will be beaten, Zhang Jiaoling flag waved, the front army of the Yellow Turban Army held a rudimentary weapon, against the dense arrow rain to charge the Han army, after three rounds of arrow rain, the two sides pulled closer, the archers retreated in a trumpet, the sword and shield soldiers in front of the Han army lined up with a neat shout to press towards the Yellow Turban Army. The halberders in the rear followed, and these people were the best in the army.
The two armies collided like two floods, stirring up countless blood flowers, and the battlefield was suddenly full of spears and spears, and in such a battlefield, every life was insignificant. The clashing of weapons and the screams of people were mixed together.
Huo Yu in the flank formation sighed with emotion: "They are all sons of the Han family, but they are killing each other. "As the battle progressed, the sun had already climbed into the middle of the sky, and the crows in the sky were so irritable that they wanted to swoop down and eat a bite of the corpse.
"Childe, the Chinese army ordered the flag to wave, and ordered the cavalry on the left and right flanks to fight." Liu Ji, who has been paying attention to the Chinese military formation, opened his mouth and said.
"Zhang Fei and Liu Ji will take the lead with me, and they will go through it in one go, Yuan Jian, you look for a chance to sneak into the city, remember, if you can't do anything, you must find a chance to come out."
"No." The three of them agreed in unison.
"Brothers, follow me into battle," Huo Yu raised his gun and shouted.
"Chisel through, chisel through, chisel through."
The shouts of thousands of people passed through the battlefield, and when the Chinese army Lu Zhi heard the sound, Huo Yu led the cavalry to slowly accelerate, and the white feathers on the top of the cavalry's heads swayed in the wind, and from a distance, he thought that a white cloud was slowly moving forward. At 500 paces from the left flank of the Yellow Turban, the horses began to increase their speed, and at 200 paces, Huo Yu ordered to "shoot" almost all the cavalry made a "collapse" buzzing sound, and thousands of arrows flew towards the left flank of the Yellow Turban Army, and at 100 paces, all the cavalry hung their bows and raised their horse lances, and at 50 paces, they shouted in unison: "Kill, kill, kill."
On the other hand, the left flank of the Yellow Turban, first hit by a rain of arrows, and then the cavalry charged, all the Yellow Turban Army was nervous, some even trembled their legs, without good training, they could not form a dense formation defense, when the three "kill" came, the cowardly people had turned around and ran backwards, almost in an instant, the left wing of the Yellow Turban Army floated in formation, no matter how the little marshals drove away, in the face of the menacing cavalry, in addition to running away or running away, but now it was too late to escape.
The cavalry with Huo Yu, Zhang Fei, and Liu Ji as arrows flew everywhere, and Zhang Fei was even more ferocious and abnormal. Seeing that the left flank was about to collapse, Zhang Jiao ordered the flag to dance, and Zhang Niujiao in the rear army immediately led 10,000 troops to rush to the left flank, trying to trap Huo Yu. In the middle of the Chinese army, Lu Zhiling's flag waved again, and 6,000 infantry increased to the left flank. At this moment, the right wing of the Yellow Turban was also attacked by another cavalry of the Han army and fell into a bitter battle.
After receiving infantry reinforcements, Huo Yu immediately ordered the cavalry to turn their horses and withdraw from the battlefield and regroup. After the formation was completed, Gu De counted the casualties and once again led the cavalry to rush to the Yellow Turban reinforcements. The next moment, on the right flank of the Han army, a captain led 5,000 soldiers and horses out of the main camp to help.
Huo Yu and Zhang Fei, who were on the left wing of the battlefield, encountered the Yellow Turban generals who came to intercept them, and they were all knocked off their horses in one round. Suddenly, a majestic military general of the Yellow Turban led more than 100 guards to meet Zhang Fei who rushed towards him. After a burst of gold and iron sounds, the two horses galloped past, the spear in Zhang Fei's hand stabbed continuously, and more than ten guards who followed the Yellow Turban generals fell off their horses one after another.
"That's a lot of strength." The staggered Yellow Turban martial artists were shocked and numb, and they couldn't help but curse angrily in a low voice.
"Kill" Chu Yan gritted her teeth, stabbed with one shot, and let several Han soldiers die on the battlefield. What followed was more swords and guns of the Han army, and the Yellow Turban general didn't want to stay on the battlefield at this time, not to mention that the leading Han cavalry was above him, not to mention that the Han cavalry was stronger than his own side in the immediate battle. Immediately, he turned his horse's head and rushed towards the periphery, trying to return to the Yellow Turban Formation. However, Huo Yu suddenly struck out and stabbed the Yellow Turban general in the back of the heart with a single shot.
"Chu Yan be careful." Seeing that the tip of the spear was about to be stabbed, a big knife suddenly blocked it with a "dang", Huo Yu looked up and looked at Zhang Niujiao, who was actually withdrawn in advance from the Changshe.
Needless to say, the gun was raised, and in a few rounds, Zhang Niujiao was shot three times by Huo Yu, and almost fell off the horse, thanks to the personal guards who fought hard to intercept it, he was able to get out.
"The enemy will flee, and all the soldiers will be killed with me" Seeing Zhang Niujiao fleeing, Huo Yu raised his gun and shouted. During the Wen period, the morale of the left-wing Han army was greatly boosted, and the Yellow Turban reinforcements could not resist it and gradually retreated. In the front of the Yellow Turban, when most of the men and horses were defeated by the Han army, they fell into the heavy encirclement of the Han army.
Seeing that the time had come, Huo Yu ordered Zhang Fei to rush to Zhang Jiao's Chinese army with his cavalry, and there was no enemy where Zhang Fei passed, and Zhang Jiao could not resist even sending 7 generals. On the other hand, the cavalry of the official army, under the leadership of Zhang Fei, had high morale, rushed left and right, Zhang Jiao had no way to deal with it for a while, and had no choice but to order the withdrawal of the army.
Seeing that there was no hope of catching up with Zhang Jiao, Zhang Fei, who was angry, shouted: "Zhang Jiao's old man is running away." ”
In the absence of stirrups and Takahashi saddles, several consecutive shocks still paid a certain price, and for Huo Yu, every cavalry was particularly precious. With the withdrawal of Zhang Jiao, the momentum of the front army fell to the bottom in an instant, and the Han army would not let go of this opportunity and pursued all the way to the city of Guangzong.
After this battle, Lu Zhi praised Huo Yu in front of all the generals, especially the fierce general Zhang Fei, and there were hundreds of Yellow Turban soldiers who died in his hands. The results of the battle were beheaded about 30,000 Wu Qian, and the Han army itself suffered more than 6,000 casualties, this record was still caused by the premise of Zhang Jiao's escape, and Huo Yu's cavalry rushed into battle several times, killing 562 people, and almost everyone else brought it with them, although they were distressed but there was no way, the head-to-head duel itself was to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred.
Returning to the barracks after sunset, Huo Yu first urged everyone to clean their wounds with the wine they brought, and then returned to the big tent sullenly. Zhang Fei and Liu Ji knew that their father-in-law was in a bad mood, but they didn't know how to comfort them, so they had to stay outside the big tent. I don't know how long it took, Huo Yu sighed deeply and said, "I don't know if Liao Hua got in." When he walked out of the tent, he found Zhang Fei and Liu Ji standing on the left and right, so he sent the two back to rest.
