If Liu Dai and Qiao Mao can work together to stabilize the position of the front army, the Chinese army and the rear army will have enough time to form a formation to restrain the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

2,000 Xiliang iron cavalry and 40,000 Xiliang light cavalry swept down, and with a stick of incense, more than 10,000 Yanzhou soldiers and Dongjun soldiers were like snow melting, either becoming dead bodies trampled by Xiliang cavalry, or they fled to the military formations of other princes of other families behind, and the military formations that were finally set up behind were scattered, and they couldn't organize a decent attack at all.

Yuan Shao, Yuan Yi, Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Chao, and Zhang Miao's men and horses are all in the middle lane, only Gongsun Zhan's white horse Yicong can fight with the Xiliang cavalry, but he can't stand up to his teammates like pigs.

Feng Ji, the strategist who followed Yuan Shao's side, saw that the allied army was unable to form an army in front of him, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was about to rush to Yuan Shao, so he hurriedly advised Yuan Shao: "My lord, now the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is as imposing as a rainbow and unstoppable, the morale of the Allied Army is low, and the army is defeated, we have no power to return to the sky in this battle, so it is better to retreat first and then make plans!" ”

Yuan Shao is a guy who can only show a little blood when he is cornered, he glared at Feng Ji hatefully, and said sharply: "I, Yuan Shao, the fourth and third dukes, are respected by the world, either I don't march, or I will fight to the end, and face Dong Thief in Luoyang that day." I'm a solo sword. I don't take Dong thief in my eyes, today I have a male soldier in my hand, how can I be afraid! If I spread it, I will be the laughing stock of the world, especially if I am ridiculed by Jin Liangpifu! I, Yuan Shao, would rather die in battle than steal my life and become the laughing stock of my husband! ”

The generals and strategists under Yuan Shao's command originally planned to retreat, but when they heard Yuan Shao say this, they all aroused the pride of hard work. Why should we wait!

Yuan Shao still had some military attainments, and he quickly sent a team of men and horses to comb the deserters to flee from both sides, so as not to break up the military formation. He also sent thousands of spearmen to imitate the Jinliang Central Army and break through the ironclad heavy cavalry of Xiliang with a spear formation, because their spears were relatively short, and if they were too deep on the ground, they would be too short to be exposed, and if they were too shallow, they would not be strong enough, so they had to be held by thousands of spearmen and squatted on the ground to deal with the unstoppable surging Xiliang iron cavalry.

The tactics they adopted followed the Jin Liang Central Army's spear to pierce the horse's belly of the ironclad cavalry, and Xu Rong's horse armor of the two thousand ironclad cavalry did not cover the horse's belly. But this time, Xu Rong learned the original lesson and covered the bellies of the two thousand iron horsemen with iron sheets.

Two thousand ironclad cavalry came like a mudslide, the first row of Xiliang iron cavalry rushed into the spears of the first row of allied spearmen, and there was no scene where the horse's belly was broken and the cavalry fell, but the spear could not pierce the horse's belly, the wooden-handled spear was broken, and the iron cavalry knocked the spearmen squatting there into the air, and the iron cavalry held sabers. There was no need to deliberately chop, just a knife to cut off the head of the spearman who flew away.

The strict spear formation composed of thousands of spearmen did not play its due role at all, and was quickly dispersed by the two thousand Xiliang iron cavalry, and the spearmen in the back looked at the miserable situation of the spearmen in front. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I picked up my spear. It was better to stab the Overseers in the back, and it was better to kill their own people, and those spearmen killed the Overseers and fled backwards in a panic.

Yuan Shao saw that the spear array he had finally formed did not have much damping effect on the rushing Xiliang Iron Cavalry, so he had to reorganize the sword and shield soldiers to cut the hooves of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, hoping to weaken the power of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

Yuan Shaogui is the younger brother of the fourth and third dukes, leading the troops but not training, and he doesn't know that with the quality of his soldiers, he can't compare with the Yuejia army hundreds of years later, and the allied soldiers don't dare to bend down to cut the thick hooves of the soaring Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

They didn't take Yuan Shao's order seriously at all, turned around and ran.

Only those soldiers adapted from the Yuan family, they are not afraid of the flying hooves to kick their heads, they are not afraid of the flying sabers cutting their necks, this more than a thousand Yuan family members with their sacrifices, cut off the hooves of more than 500 Xiliang iron horses in front, and finally subdued the Xiliang iron cavalry that had been raging for a long time, and Yuan Shao's elite troops were almost killed and wounded.

Although the Xiliang heavy ironclad cavalry stopped wreaking, the 20,000 Xiliang light cavalry led by Yan Xing and Zhang Xiu were still galloping.

Yan Xing's spear swung like countless flashing spirit snakes, each of which took the life of an Allied soldier.

Zhang Xiu's spear swung like countless bright lightnings, adding a big hole to the body of an Allied soldier every time it was slashed.

Countless Allied soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, convulsing on the ground, dying, and the rolling Xiliang cavalry rushed by, and they all became a bloody corpse.

Yuan Shao's failure to bring Yan Liangwen this time seemed to be his biggest mistake, and the other generals under his command, especially those famous generals from families, were not opponents of Yan Xing and Zhang Xiu, and they couldn't even be called enemies, and they all died tragically under their guns. Some so-called famous generals are not as good as a small soldier in the struggle and fight in front of Yan Xing and Zhang Xiu.

Yuan Shao finally frightened, he turned the horse's head, and slashed his horse's ass with a backhand, the horse was in unbearable pain, accelerated and galloped forward, and really fled in the wilderness, and he fled with Gongsun Zhan, who was conceited and brave, and he had not gone through ten rounds in front of Yan Xing, he was stabbed in his horse's ass by Yan Xing with a spear, and Gongsun Chan fled.

Yan Xing was originally able to stab Gongsun Chan to death with a spear, but Dong Zhuo had reminded Yan Xing before, those people should be killed, those people should not be killed, and Gongsun Chan would be killed, Gongsun Chan was a constraint on Jin Liang in Youzhou, it seems that Dong Zhuo was still worried that Jin Liang would unify Hebei and Kanto too early and then plot against himself.

In history, Yan Xing is famous:

"Yan Xing, year of birth and death unknown, the word Yanming, later renamed Yan Yan, a native of Jincheng (near present-day Lanzhou City, Gansu Province), was a figure in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and played a major role in Cao Cao's elimination of Han Sui and pacification of Liangzhou. His deeds are mainly seen in Pei's notes in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Wei Shu, and Zhang Ji's Biography".

Served Han Sui

According to the record of "Wei Luo", Yan Xing had a certain reputation when he was young, and followed Han Sui as a young general, and when Han Sui and Ma Teng clashed, he once tried to stab Ma Chao with a spear, but the spear broke, and then Yan Xing hit Ma Chao in the neck with a broken spear, almost killing Ma Chao.

In the fourteenth year of Jian'an (209), Han Sui sent him as an envoy to pay homage to Cao Cao, and was treated favorably by Cao Cao. Yan Xing begged for his father to move to the capital, and then went back to Han Sui to convey Cao Cao's instructions to him: "The situation of your army is unavoidable, and I already know that you should come to Shun as soon as possible to assist the imperial court." ”

Yan Xing persuaded Han Sui again: "I, Yan Xing, am also for the general." Thirty years after the general started his army, the people and the soldiers were exhausted, and the place he occupied was narrow, so he should find someone to rely on as soon as possible. So when I was in Yecheng, I had already reported that Cao **** would let my father go to Beijing, hoping that the general would also send a son to show his loyalty to Cao Cao. Han Sui replied: "Let's wait and see for a few years!" However, he agreed to send his son, and Yan Xing sent his parents to Cao Cao's controlled Jingshi.

Battle of Weinan

Later, when Han Sui attacked Zhang Meng, Ma Chao discussed with other generals in Liangzhou to raise troops against Cao Cao, and unanimously elected Han Sui as the governor. Ma Chao's father, Ma Teng, was also a hostage in Yecheng at this time. After Han Sui returned, Ma Chao said to him: "Before, the commander of Sili Zhong Xuan had ordered me to murder the general, and the people of Kwantung could no longer believe it. Now I give up my father and treat the general like a father, and the general should also give up your son and treat me like a son. After that, Yan Xingjin admonished Han Sui, not wanting him to unite with Ma Chao, Han Sui replied: "Now the generals coincide, it seems that there is a providence." Later, when Han Sui and Cao Cao were talking, Yan Xing followed behind Han Sui, and Cao Cao looked at him and said to Han Sui: "You have to take care of this filial son." ”

After Cao Cao succeeded in separating Ma Chao and Han Sui, he defeated their army, and Yan Xing fled back to Jincheng County with Han Sui. Cao Cao knew about Yan Xing's previous behavior, so he only executed Han Sui's children and grandchildren in Beijing, but he wrote a letter to Yan Xing, informing him that although his parents were safe, it was impossible for the court to provide for them all the time. Han Sui knew that Yan Xing's father had not been executed, and wanted to try to kill him so that Yan Xing would be loyal to him, so he forced Yan Xing to marry his daughter, Yan Xing could not refuse, and Cao Cao began to suspect Yan Xing when he knew the consequences.

Return to the imperial court

At this time, Han Sui ordered Yan Xing to take charge of Xiping County (the county was in the western capital, present-day Xining City, Qinghai Province) west of Jincheng, so Yan Xing gathered his subordinates and attacked Han Sui instead. But Yan Xing was unable to win in the end, so he took his family to Cao Cao, who worshipped him as a liege.

In May of the twentieth year of Jian'an (215), tens of thousands of troops gathered by Han Sui and Hu were threatened, and after Xiahou Yuan ordered Yan Xing to break off, when Han Sui planned to retreat, Han Sui died, and the rest of the army sent his head to Cao Cao to show his submission. 》

In this way, Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao actually helped each other and fled backwards, if Gongsun Chan knew his experience in another period of history, I am afraid that he would definitely not protect Yuan Shao, and he would turn Yuan Shao off the horse with a single lance.

When Liu Dai and Qiao Mao's front army was ambushed by Yan Xing and Zhang Xiu's cavalry, the military horses of Yuan Shu, Tao Qian, Kong Rong and others who stayed in the rear army had just crossed the river.

At this moment, there were more than 30 warships converted from fishing boats floating in the upper reaches of the river, each boat was not very big, and it could only accommodate fifty Xiliang soldiers, but they all held strong crossbows in their hands, shooting at the rear of the Allied army, and several boats lit fires, went down the river, leaned on the pontoon bridge, the pontoon bridge was originally made of several ships connected together with wooden planks, the pontoon bridge was all wooden and oil was poured on it, and after a while, the pontoon bridge turned into ashes, and the allied army of more than 100,000 horses and horses were all left on the west bank, trapped in the pursuit of the Xiliang cavalry.

More than 1,000 sailors on the river shot vigorously to the shore to prevent those allied soldiers who knew the water from crossing the river, and the 20,000 Xiliang sword and shield soldiers, 10,000 archers, and 4,000 crossbowmen who were ambushed in the depths of the dense forest on both sides also came to the near side of the dense forest, and the sword and shield soldiers quickly erected a thick shield wall, and the archers and crossbowmen stood or squatted behind the shield wall to shoot at the Allied rear army in chaos, and the archers shot first, and the dense arrow feathers poured on the heads of the allied soldiers who had no time to cover up like a downpour, and the sword and shield soldiers quickly covered their heads with shields, and the arrow feathers fell on the wooden shields, They had just breathed a sigh of relief from the catastrophe, but found that there was an arrow feather pierced in their chest, which turned out to be a crossbow arrow that had been shot straight and straight at their defenseless bodies, and even some of the princes' personal guards were wearing iron armor and were pierced by the powerful crossbow arrows within a hundred paces.

The Xiliang crossbowmen in the dense forest on both sides fired arrows frantically, and the allied soldiers in the middle could dodge the arrow feathers shot from the left, but they couldn't dodge the arrow feathers shot from the right.

The Allied non-commissioned officers retreated, facing the mighty water, and those Allied non-commissioned officers who could not swim were desperate at that time, and those Allied non-commissioned officers who knew how to swim were also desperate, because there were thousands of crossbowmen on the water, who were shooting with all their might to kill the Allied non-commissioned soldiers who tried to swim across the water.

The allied soldiers rushed forward, and encountered the unstoppable Xiliang cavalry who blocked the east and the west, and they would not necessarily die if they jumped into the river, and when they encountered these Xiliang cavalry, they were either killed by the cavalry's sabers and spears, or they were trampled to death by the hooves of Xiliang's tall horses, and they were even killed by the friendly troops who fled frantically.

At this time, the 10,000 Xiliang cavalry under Xu Rong also rested from the deception and escape just now, turned back, and launched a fatal charge to the allied soldiers, especially Hua Xiong, he killed a number of allied soldiers who blocked the way, rode his horse and galloped, and rushed to Yan Xing and Zhang Xiu's side.

Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Yuan Yi, Kong Rong, Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao and other princes of the family have only now come to their senses, and the famous generals from famous families under their subordinates who usually blow the earth-shattering sound are useless here, and they are all killed by Yan Xing, Zhang Xiu, and Hua Xiong one by one as easily as killing chickens and dogs.

There is no way to retreat after the pursuit of the Allied soldiers, in desperation, had to flee to the dense forest on both sides, the dense forest is really wide, the Xiliang army arranged more than 20,000 people to ambush, but can not defend all the dense forest, some allied soldiers through the gap of Xiliang defense, drilled into the dense forest, crazy escape, some allied soldiers can not find the gap of defense, simply top the wooden shield, rushed into the dense forest, rushed into the shield wall of the Xiliang sword shield soldiers, wanted to break in, kill the bow crossbow soldiers of the Xiliang army, Xiliang soldiers in Xiliang and the Qiang people fought viciously, and the Zhangjiao Yellow Turban Army fought viciously, In a place like Luoyang, where there are four battles, their combat experience and combat skills are far superior to the allied soldiers who have not been recruited for a few months, and the sword soldiers and crossbowmen of the Xiliang Army cooperate very tacitly, and those allied soldiers who recklessly rushed into the Xiliang shield wall were either shot to death by the crossbowmen, but were killed by the sword soldiers.

Cao Cao, who had not yet crossed the river on the east bank, saw that the allies were defeated, and hurriedly sent Xiahou Yuan to inform Jin Liang and Sun Jianbu to come to help.

In order to avoid suspicion, Jin Liang did not prepare the Central Army for battle in advance, and waited for Xiahou Yuan to come over to report that Jin Liang pretended to be shocked and gave the order for rescue. Sun Jian saw that Jin Liang was slow to mobilize people, so he offered to go to the rescue first, but Jin Liang couldn't find any reason to stop Sun Jian from going to the rescue, so he had to let him take the first step.

After Sun Jian left, Jin Liangcai slowly and leisurely ordered 30,000 soldiers and 30,000 auxiliaries, and slowly rushed to Bishui.

Jin Liang left Wei Yue and led 4,000 soldiers and 10,000 auxiliaries to defend Xingyang City and guard the Xiliang prisoners.

Except for Wei Yue and Yu Ban, Jin Liang took all the fierce generals, including Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, and Wei Yan.

In the previous battle, spearmen, sword soldiers, crossbowmen, and cavalry all had a chance to play, but Gao Shun's trapped camp did not have a chance to play.

By the time Jin Liang arrived on the east bank of Bishui, the Jiangdong soldiers of Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian had already taken control of Bishui.

It turned out that the Jiangdong soldiers arrived on the shore of the river, and saw that the Xiliang crossbowmen on the more than 30 boats were violently abusing the allied soldiers who were trying to swim across the river, Sun Jian immediately made a decision, and asked the 1,000 soldiers under his command who were best at swimming to take off their armor, use their mouths to hold knives, dive into the water, touch these boats, kill all the unsuspecting Xiliang crossbowmen, and then connect these boats and lay wooden planks on them. The pontoon bridge was quickly erected.

The pontoon bridge was erected, but it was very narrow, and the Allied soldiers rushed to cross the river and crowded at the head of the bridge. On the contrary, no one could get across, and some soldiers even picked up swords and guns in order to cross the bridge first, so Sun Jian asked Cao Cao to take his men and horses to supervise the Allied soldiers to cross the bridge.

Cao Cao held the Shang Fang sword that Jin Liang gave him, and looked at the allied deserters coldly: "Line up according to the official rank, dare to rob the robbers," and as he said that, he slashed a pawn who rushed onto the pontoon bridge and ran across the water in a panic to the ground: "Just like this person!" ”

Cao Cao's men and horses maintained order, and the allied soldiers scattered on both sides. Let those princes withdraw to the other side first, the former general Runan Taishou Yuan Shao, the later general Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, Chen Liutai Shou Zhang Miao, Beihai Xiang Kong Rong, Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao, Beiping Taishou Gongsun Zhan, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi and others were embarrassed and fled to the other side of the bank.

Cao Cao's method, which was similar to the leader going first, saved those Kwantung princes and some of their backbone forces. When Yan Xing, Zhang Xiu, and Hua Xiong arrived at the bank of the river, most of the middle and high-ranking generals under the command of the princes of the Kwantung family, except for those who were killed by the Xiliang soldiers just now, crossed the river, and only a small part fled into the dense forest. Caught up with the Xiliang soldiers. (To be continued.) )
