Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Battle of Quality and Quantity Against the Long Society (17)
The above book mentioned that Zhao Yun returned with the generals to explore the formation, and Liu Qian already knew what he needed to know in the formation. He immediately handed Liao Hua five letters www.biquge.info wrote "Fun" and ordered him to send them out immediately. This is the five-way reinforcement he prepared, mainly for this time the enemy's large forces are all concentrated here, and once the large array is broken, the rebels must be eradicated as soon as possible.
Three days later, Yang Huai invited him back to Yan Xing. Liu Qian ordered someone to arrange a place to live and let him stay in a remote camp. Yan Xing came this time with a thousand cavalry of the Xiliang Qiang tribe.
Two more days passed. In the atrium tent of the Pingnan Army, Liu Qian was promoted to the account. Liu Bei, Xu Shu, Guan Yu, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Zhang Fei, Zhang Jaw, Zhao Yun and other four-rank generals were all in place and stood on both sides of the big tent. On the right stood Guan Yu, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Zhang Fei, Zhang Jaw, and Zhao Yun, and on the left stood Liu Bei and Xu Shu, and the three generals who came to help, Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, and Yan Xing, also stood beside Xu Shu as Keqing. Xu Rong, Yang Huai, Twelve Yan Jiang and Zhou Cang stood behind Guan Yu and the others respectively.
Liao Hua was in charge of fiddling with the sand table, standing on the edge of the sand table that had already fiddled with the big array.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Liu Qian stood up from behind the table, walked to the sand table, picked up an arrow and said: "Tomorrow morning, our army will send out the whole army to break the enemy's Nine Palace Bagua Array." So let me assign you a task. Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong listen to orders! ”
"The last general will take the order!" Zhao Yun is out of the ranks.
"After tomorrow's battle, you lead the four battalions of cavalry shooters straight to the wounded senior brother Zuo Colonel. Tell Zuo Gong for me that at that time, the troops must be divided into two routes, one route is Bai Bo and Bai Rao brothers to the southeast Xungong to attack the Dumen rebels; All the way, Zuo Gong and Zilong rushed to the central Wuji land, but you must wait until Han Sheng or Feng first shot his heralds in our army, and then rush over. ”
"Order!" Zhao Yun took the arrow and entered the ranks.
Liu Qian picked up the second arrow and said, "Guan Yu, Dian Wei, and Zhang Fei listen to the order!" ”
The three of them came out of the queue at the same time and shouted: "The last general will take the order!" ”
"After tomorrow's battle, you wait for Guan Yu to be the main general, Dian Wei and Zhang Fei as the deputy generals, and the Jiugong Army commanding the twelve battalions will attack the enemy formation. Be sure to attack the central Wuji territory within two hours, and there must be no mistake! ”
"Order!" Guan Yu took the token, and the three of them entered the ranks.
Liu Qian picked up the third arrow and said, "Huang Zhong takes the order!" ”
"The last general will take the order!"
"Tomorrow, Guan Yu and the others will go on the expedition, and you will go out with their team. Your mission is to follow them into the central Wuji Territory and shoot the heralds on top of the tower. ”
"Order!" Huang Zhong took the token and returned to his original position.
Liu Qian picked up the fourth arrow and said, "Liu Bei listens to the order!" ”
"The last general will take the order!" Liu Bei was listed.
"Tomorrow, after I go out of battle, you will lead Xu Rong, Zhou Cang, Xue Ji, Chen Gun, Dong Dao, Gao Stick, Mu Li, Tu Hong, Han Yue, Fan Jian, Zhao Hammer and others, and lead the fifteenth battalion of volunteers to attack the shocking gate of the Western Palace. After entering the surprise door, stop when encountering the enemy. Xu Rong fought with the enemy first, and the enemy withdrew and did not chase. It must be gradual, not greedy. Once those three Ying saw that the Great Array Eye Tower was broken, they would definitely retreat in shock. When the time comes, you must trap Sanying. ”
"Order." Liu Bei listened, okay! It's not a good job! However, the elder brother still gave a lot of people. While pondering, he took the arrow.
This is Liu Qian picking up the fifth arrow and saying, "Xu Shu listens to the order!" ”
When Xu Shu heard this, why did he, a civil official, still go into battle? If you don't understand, you don't understand, this arrow still has to be received. Out of the queue received the order: "Xu Shu received the order!" ”
"Tomorrow, after I go out of battle, you must take Guan Ning, Bing Yuan, Liu Whip, Jin Dun, Tie Armor and ten battalions of volunteers to guard our army's camp!"
This scared Xu Shu, and said that the lord didn't play like this? It turned out to be a garrison. You said it earlier!
"Order!" Xu Shu received the order and entered the ranks.
Liu Qian picked up the sixth arrow and said, "Xu Chu listens to the order!" ”
"The last general will take the order!" Xu Chu is out of the ranks.
"Tomorrow, you will command five battalions of heavy armored cavalry, and open the door with me." Liu Qian said.
"Order!" Xu Chu took the arrow and entered the ranks.
Liu Qian picked up the seventh arrow and said, "Open your jaw and listen to the order!" ”
"The last general will take the order!" Jaw open.
"Tomorrow, you will command the three battalions of light cavalry to raid the battalion, and you will also open the door with me."
"Order!" Open jaw took the arrow and entered the ranks.
This Lu Bu and Yan Xing took a look, what's the matter!? We're here to help, why don't you have any work? Just as he was about to speak, he saw Liu Qian pick up two more arrows and said, "Lu Bu and Yan Xing listen to the order!" ”
The two of them are waiting! As soon as they heard that they were calling themselves, the two of them rushed out of the queue and shouted: "The last general will take the order!" ”
Liu Qian looked at the appearance of the two of them, and knew that they were in a hurry, so he still said unhurriedly: "Tomorrow, the two of you will each lead the people and horses of your department to attack and open the door with my Xu Chu department." ”
"Order!" The two answered the order.
Liu Qian handed over the arrow to the two, and then said: "Our army has the least soldiers and horses to attack the open door, but this is the best army in our army, heavy armored cavalry, Bingzhou iron cavalry, Xiliangqiang cavalry, the three cavalry are the elite on the battlefield. The enemy is terrified, we will face ten times the enemy in this battle, do you have the confidence to defeat the enemy? ”
Lu Bu and Yan Xing are both bloody men, and they are people who have never been soft in their own place, where can they hear that this is Liu Qian's method of agitation. At that moment, the two of them didn't think about it, so they said in unison: "A mere Yellow Turban thief, even if it is an enemy twenty times larger than mine, I can defeat it with a thousand horsemen." ”
"Good! Tomorrow we will break its 100,000 Yellow Turban Army with 10,000 cavalry! After speaking, Liu Qian also laughed arrogantly.
When all the arrangements were stopped, everyone went down to prepare.
In the early morning of the next day, after a noisy sound in the camp of the Pingnan Army, all the generals and all the soldiers gathered in front of the general platform.
On the high platform, Liu Qian wore a Vermilion Bird Howling Sky Helmet, wearing a red gold armor, a pair of sky-swallowing buckles around his waist, a pair of unicorn cloud-breaking boots, and a red cloak, majestic and majestic, as if the heavens were going down to earth.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today we will fight to the death against the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Take our courage! My warriors! Liu Qian saw that everyone had arrived, and began to boost morale before the war.
When Guan Yu and the others in the audience heard this, they raised the weapons in their hands and shouted: "The Pingnan Army will win!" ”
After so many days of training, those soldiers have exhausted themselves. In particular, the Jiugong Army and the three major cavalry soldiers who had experienced all the battles were defeated by less, and they did not feel a trace of fear because of the enemy's superior strength, but provoked the fighting spirit and fighting spirit in their hearts.
Hearing the generals shout, they all raised their weapons and shouted: "The Pingnan army will win!" The Pingnan Army will win! …… The Pingnan Army will win! ”
Liu Qian stood on the high platform, looking at the high morale of the soldiers below, and there was still a trace of pride in his heart. He listened to it with great enjoyment for a while, then stretched out his hand to signal to stop, and then picked up a three-foot order flag on the table next to him, and shouted, "Zhao Yun takes the order!" ”
Zhao Yun threw off the saddle, ran up to the platform, and shouted: "Mo will take the order!" ”
"Immediately throw your men and horses to attack the enemy formation!" After that, Liu Qian handed the order flag to Zhao Yun.
"Order!" Zhao Yun took the order flag, turned around and stepped down, ordered four thousand cavalry archers, and left the camp.
Liu Qian picked up three more three-foot order flags and shouted: "Guan Yu takes the order!" ”
"Don't take the order!" Guan Yu threw off the saddle, ran to the point platform, and took the three command flags and planted them on his back.
"Immediately lead your men and horses to attack the enemy formation!"
"Order!" After Guan Yu received the order, he got off the platform, turned over his horse, greeted Dian Wei and Zhang Fei, ordered the warriors of the twelve battalions and the Nine Palaces, and left the camp.
Liu Qian stretched out his hand and picked up three more three-foot order flags, and shouted: "Liu Bei takes the order!" ”
"Don't take the order!" Liu Bei threw off the saddle and ran to the point platform, but three arrows were stuck in his back.
"Immediately lead your men and horses to attack the enemy formation!"
"Order!" After Liu Bei received the order, he got off the general's platform, turned over his horse, and ordered Xu Rong, Zhou Cang, the nine Yan generals and the fifteenth battalion of volunteers to leave the camp.
Liu Qian picked up three three-foot flags and planted them on his back, and said, "Strategist, the safety of the camp is all handed over to you!" ”
"Please rest assured that the lord will break the formation. Be sure to keep the camp safe! Xu Shu said.
Liu Qian came to the stage, turned over his horse, greeted Xu Chu, Zhang Jaw, Lu Bu, and Yan Xing, and ordered 5,000 heavy armored cavalry, 3,000 light cavalry raid battalions, 1,000 Bingzhou iron cavalry and 1,000 Xiliangqiang cavalry, and left the camp.
Leaving Xu Shu and others to defend the city without mentioning it, Liu Qian is a single list of five people. Liu Qian took the lead, Xu Chu led five battalions of heavy armored cavalry in the center, on the left was Lu Bu and Yan Xing's 1,000 Bingzhou iron cavalry and 1,000 Xiliangqiang cavalry, and on the right was the 3,000 light cavalry raid battalion led by Zhang Jaw. All cavalry, but there is still a difference.
First of all, Lu Bu's iron cavalry, a group of ten people lined up behind Lu Bu, the iron-armored spear of the water, and the knight waiting for the mask revealed a solemn atmosphere. Even if Liu Qian brought out such an iron horse from Lu Bu, he couldn't help but secretly admire it. The Xiliangqiang cavalry did not have such neat equipment, but they showed a kind of wild strength, and the teams in front and behind were a little crowded because of the collision with each other.
It was the 5,000 heavily armored cavalry under Liu Qian's command, and even the men and horses were armed with armor. The light horse was good, and the knight was only dressed in leather armor, but it just formed a contrast. Even if the light horse is slow, the horse is in a state of trot; The heavy cavalry is good, whether it is slowing down or charging, although there is a difference in speed, the formation still maintains a straight and square neatness.
Even Lu Bu, who had brought out the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, was very surprised when he saw these five thousand heavily armored cavalry. In the face of this iron horse, Lu Bu did not dare to assert what kind of results his Jizhou Iron Horse would cause if he was an enemy of it. But he knew that if his own iron cavalry met this cavalry on the battlefield, he would not be an enemy; In a hostile position, once these two cavalry fight, their own iron cavalry will definitely not be able to get any good fruit to eat! Even if the other party does not have a military commander who can match his own. Because this unified cavalry can already leave the generals and fight on their own.
The light horse on the very edge was even more delightful, trembling and jumping slowly but without the chaos of the formation. The yellow leather armor and the white battle robes on the outside showed that these cavalrymen were heroic and high-spirited. Lu Bu, an expert in cavalry, looked at it uncertainly for a while, and figured out the true purpose of this cavalry - surprise attacks, especially long-distance raids, should have the best effect. But I'm afraid it's a bit wasteful to use it on this battlefield.
A group of cavalry attacked in the direction of the open door. I just don't know who wins and who loses this battle? How to break the big array? To find out what happens next, stay tuned for the story below.
