Thirty-nine The rebels of Xiliang committed three auxiliaries, and the imperial army attacked Han Sui
Last time, it was said that the Qiang people led by Xian Lingqiang and some local poor people in Xiliang could not bear the exploitation of the Han Dynasty, so they rebelled against each other, and after supporting Han Sui and Bian Zhang, they defeated Jincheng, the Jiancheng city of Xiliang, and Chen Yi, the Taishou of Jincheng, was killed by the rebels in the Taishou Mansion. Dozens of days later, the Xiliang rebels, under the leadership of Han Sui Bian Zhang, slaughtered to the land of Sanfu and approached the Han Garden Mausoleum.
After the news reached Luoyang, Emperor Long Yan of the Han Dynasty was furious, and ordered Huangfu Song, a chariot general who had returned from the Jizhou battlefield, to lead an army of 100,000 to attack the Xiliang rebels. And Dong Zhuo, the Zhonglang general who was lucky enough to escape from the Battle of Yecheng a few months ago, was also sent by Emperor Ling of Han to fight with him as the deputy general of Huangfu Song.
Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo led an army of 100,000 and Han Sui Bianzhang's Xiliang rebels to form a military formation fifty miles outside Chang'an City.
"Please come out and answer the general Huangfu on the other side!" Han Sui shouted in front of the Xiliang army.
Huangfu Songce immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Traitor! Huangfu Song is here! What do you have to say? ”
Han Sui first bowed deeply on the horse, and in Huang Fu Song's puzzled eyes, Han Sui said slowly: "General Huang Fu Song, we don't want to rebel. It was only when we were cornered by the tax decree issued by the imperial court that we had to raise troops to protect ourselves. We all know that this tax order was offered by the eunuchs around the emperor, so the main purpose of our army this time is to clear the monarch's side! As long as the eunuchs around the emperor are removed, we are willing to disband the army and be a common man who keeps to himself. General Huangfu Song, what do you think? ”
"Humph! Naturally, the affairs of the court will be handled by the court, so you won't have to wait for it. I, Huangfu Song, am here to give you a chance, as long as you dissolve on the spot, I am willing to ask the emperor to exempt you from responsibility, how about it? Huangfu Song said loudly.
Han Sui said sarcastically: "Go back now, even if you are exempted from responsibility?" It's not that we have to be exploited by those who are insatiable, how will we live in the future? Hum! Since General Huangfu Song rejected our kindness, then don't blame us for turning our faces and being ruthless! Trumpet! Kill the whole army! ”
"Woo~" Xiliang Jun blew their characteristic horns.
"Kill!"
Huangfu Song also sneered: "Phew! Thief! It's so nice, it's not time to show your true colors, huh! Obey the order! Beat the drums! The pikemen stepped forward, the chariot was in the center, the archers were behind, and the cavalry was on the wings! Kill! ”
"Boom! Boom! ”
"Hooray! Phew! Kill! ”
The two armies gradually approached, and Huangfu Song shouted: "Bow and arrow array, prepare for three salvos." I prepare it and put it! ”
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
Countless sharp arrows were like a cloud of death with the roar of death, enveloping the charging Xiliang army, most of the main forces of the Xiliang army were Qiang people with weak defensive equipment, they were screamed by the Han army's arrow rain for a while, but the remaining more than 100,000 Xiliang iron cavalry still accelerated towards the Han army's array.
"Bow and arrow array, free rapid fire!!"
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! "The rapid fire of the Han archers shot like a torrential rain towards the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which was only less than a hundred paces away from the Great Array, and took the lives of a large number of Xiliang Knights, but the attacks of these arrow rains had little effect on the huge number of Xiliang Cavalry Legions.
"Damn, there are too many cavalry in Xiliang!" Huangfu Song said indignantly: "Spear array! Raise your gun to meet the enemy!! ”
"Phew!" Tens of thousands of pikemen shouted.
In just a moment's effort, more than 100,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, which had experienced several rounds of arrows and rain volleys from the Han army, finally collided with the spear array that the Huangfu Song army had been preparing for a long time.
"Boom!"
"Ahh
"Drink!"
For a time, the sound of screams, angry shouts, and neighing of horses spread all over the battlefield. Many of the lancers of Xiliang were connected by the pikemen of the Han army one after another. But behind those Western Liang cavalry who were stabbed to death, there were many more cavalry! The pikemen who were standing in front were immediately knocked out by the iron horsemen behind them, and then trampled into a blur of flesh by the horses!
"Cavalry on both wings, attack! The Chinese army convoy, attack!! Seeing that the spear array was about to collapse, Huangfu Song immediately ordered.
The iron cavalry of the Han army entered the battlefield from the left and right, and compared with the cavalry of the Qiang tribe in Xiliang, they may not have the cavalry skills of the Qiang tribe and their strength is strong. However, the standard equipment of the Han army is far from being comparable to that of the Qiang people who live in the poor mountains and bad waters of Xiliang, and the Han army's war knives are sharper and their armor is tougher. Although they were not many in number, they inflicted huge casualties on the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
The chariot array of the Chinese army is even more powerful, although the chariot of the Central Plains cannot compete with the cavalry in terms of speed, but when it comes to the hedging of the two armies and positional warfare, the chariot is the king of it. Hundreds of chariots, each carrying five or six halberds and crossbowmen, they used the defensive power of the chariots to attack the oncoming Xiliang army, and the momentum of more than 100,000 Xiliang cavalry was blocked by these hundreds of chariots! Even the forward of the Xiliang Army was countercharged by the chariot array for dozens of steps, and the power of the chariot was extraordinary.
The rebels of Xiliang and the officers and armies of the Han Dynasty fought from morning to noon, and from noon to evening. Finally, when both sides were exhausted, Han Sui, who was in Xiliang, sent someone to blow the horn of retreating first. On the other side, Huangfu Song saw that after today's battle, the Xiliang rebels only lost two-thirds of the time, but his own army of 100,000 suffered at least ten four or five casualties! Compared with the strength of the Han army and the rebels, not only did it not become stronger because Huangfu Song killed more rebels, but because the Han army's own casualties were injured. Huangfu Song also gave up the idea of taking the opportunity to cover up again, and at the same time as Han Sui withdrew from the army, he also withdrew his troops.
In the evening, in the big tent of the commander of the Han army, Huang Fu Song was discussing the battle situation with his deputy general Dong Zhuo.
"Zhong Ying, today, although we have killed fifty or sixty thousand rebels, our army has also suffered a lot of losses, and after statistics, our army has suffered nearly 40,000 casualties in this battle. In this way, due to the numerical superiority of the enemy's army, it became the winner of today. Hey, I didn't think it through, and I didn't expect that the enemy army was not only numerous, but also mainly cavalry. Now that our military strength has been greatly reduced, how can we fulfill the will of the Holy Lord and eliminate the Xiliang rebels in the future? Huangfu Song said worriedly.
"Yi Zhengong, first of all, we will not be able to fight head-to-head with those rebels in the future, the Xiliang rebels are not only numerous, brave and good at fighting, and the front is flourishing. According to the following opinion, the Xiliang rebels must have not hoarded a large amount of grain and grass in a hurry, and even if they had just conquered Jincheng and obtained some grain and grass, how long could they support more than 100,000 soldiers to eat horses and chew? As long as we hang up the card of exemption from battle, hold the camp for a few months, and when they run out of food, and when the morale is low, we will attack with all our might, and then we will win a complete victory. Dong Zhuo had already discussed with his military advisor Li Ru about the future strategy against the enemy, and Dong Zhuo took advantage of the situation to tell the plan while Huangfu Song was asking.
"Good strategy! Dong Zhongying is worthy of being a pillar of talent, and I will definitely give you a great credit for breaking the enemy! Huangfu Song said happily.
Dong Zhuo pretended to be modest on the surface and bowed down and said: "My lord has won the award, it is the duty of our courtiers to share worries for the country." ”
When Huangfu Song heard this, he praised Dong Zhuo.
Huangfu Song didn't see a sneer hidden under Dong Zhuo's hypocritical face, because Dong Zhuo's military advisor Li Ru once said that this strategy was a good strategy on the surface, but it violated the taboo of the current emperor. The current Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty urgently needs Huangfu Song to open up the situation for him, showing the majesty of the Han Dynasty to deter the thieves in the world, and as long as Huangfu Song adopts Dong Zhuo's opinion, the position of the commander of the crusading army is only afraid that it will not be guaranteed. Hmph, if you can take this opportunity to get the command of the army, you will not be far from flying Huang Tengda! Hey, hey, hey
