Dong Zhuo had to swallow this breath. He didn't have enough reason to punish Gongsun Zhan, who was obviously retaining his strength. Moreover, Dong Zhuo asked himself, if he was in Gongsun Zhan's situation, he might not be able to achieve the current level.

Glancing at the Yellow Turban Army in front of him, Dong Zhuo ordered loudly:

"Beat the drums!"

"Knock knock ......"

The dull roar spread all over a radius of ten miles. Under the urging of the war drums, groups of Han soldiers and soldiers, dressed in fiery red robes, walked neatly and firmly moved the battle line forward.

Although in terms of numbers, the Han army was far less than the rebel army with yellow scarves on their heads. However, in terms of momentum alone, the large array of the Han army, which was in full action, had already shown an overwhelming advantage over the Yellow Turban Army, which was still not formed.

From a distance, it looked like an overwhelming fire that was about to burn out all the obstacles in front of it!

For today's decisive battle, Dong Zhuo arranged a large cone-shaped formation. From this point alone, it can be seen that the tactical intention of the Han army today is to break through the enemy position by the Chinese army in one blow and achieve the goal of defeating the enemy.

In the Yellow Turban Army, there are not many people with sufficient military literacy. The number of people who could recognize this giant variant version of the Han Army cone formation was no more than ten.

Zhang Liang, the "General of the People's Father", is not one of these ten people. However, a small staff officer standing beside him, shrouded in a yellow robe, recognized the enemy's formation at a glance.

"The general, the Han army's formation, is 'cone-shaped'."

Although Zhang Liang couldn't recognize this seriously deformed formation, it didn't mean that he didn't know what the meaning behind the formation was. He smiled coldly and said:

"Dong Fatzi really dares to think about it...... Does he think that my army of 100,000 yellow turbans is made of tofu 1? ”

After speaking, Zhang Liang ordered to a close general:

"Dispatch the 'armor battalion' to set up a formation in the Chinese army. If the enemy breaks through to the front of the formation, Lao Tzu will beat them back! ”

Waiting for the trusted general to receive the order, Zhang Liang turned his face to the yellow-robed staff officer again, and said with a sincere face:

"Mr. White Rabbit, later, I'll ask you to guide these ignorant boys!"

The staff officer known as "Mr. White Rabbit", surnamed Wei, Minggu, and the word White Rabbit. He was also one of the victims of the "disaster of the party" that year.

Although, the Han family has issued an edict to pardon the party. However, because he was too deeply implicated in the Taiping Road, he couldn't \ unwilling \ didn't dare to turn back, so he had to fight the Han family to the end.

Just when the "armor battalion" was all dispatched and lined up at the rear of the Yellow Turban Army, the Han army's cone formation, which was advancing in unison, had approached a place two hundred paces away from the Yellow Turban Army. The little marshal of the Yellow Turban Army, who had just barely arranged the battle array, looked at the row of strictly ordered Xuanjia soldiers who were brushing on the opposite side, and there was a feeling in his head that the world was spinning.

The so-called "Xuanjia" is actually iron armor. Usually, a pair of iron armor, densely strung with thousands of pieces of iron, is shaped like fish scales, also known as "fish scale armor". Because iron at that time was usually black after being made into armor, iron armor was also called "black armor".

The little marshal of the Yellow Turban Army looked at the equipment of his own soldiers, and then looked at the enemy's armament, and he wanted to cry without tears.

- Nima's is all iron, how can he cut it!

However, the Yellow Turban Army is heroic and will not retreat for such a small reason. As long as he thought that the "Tiangong General" was also watching the battle from a distance in the rear, Xiao Shuai's heart immediately overcame the fear just now.

If you count it carefully, the equipment of Xiao Shuai's subordinates is actually relatively good in the army. These more than 700 warriors had a total of seven armors, more than 200 leather armors, 15 crossbows, 180 shields, 150 swords, and 600 spears.

If it weren't for the comparison with the elite of the Han army on the opposite side who were "armed to the teeth", if Xiao Shuai's subordinates were against the ordinary county soldiers, they would actually be able to handle it.

Of course, with the wealth of the Han court, it is impossible to achieve that every soldier has a Xuanjia in his hand. The troops arrayed at the top of the cone, shouldering the task of breaking the formation, are the "trapped soldiers" selected from the tens of thousands of Han troops, so they naturally want to get the best weapons and equipment!

According to the practice of the Han army, before an important battle begins, the lord will select a group of the most daring warriors from his subordinates to use as the sharpest weapons in his hands. These carefully selected fighters are often honorably referred to as "first to come" or "trapped".

At present, under Dong Zhuo's appointment, the generals who serve as the commanders of the 1,000 "trappers" selected from the "infantry battalion" are none other than Dong Zhuo's number one generals - Hua Xiong and Hua Boying!

In order to boost the morale of his subordinates, Hua Xiong specially walked in the forefront of the team. His fish scale armor, which was much more advanced than ordinary soldiers, was also particularly eye-catching under the foil of the soldiers around him.

There is no way, who called Hua Xiong is a big man with a height of more than nine feet, even if he does not ride a horse, he is a lot taller than ordinary soldiers. What's more, Hua Xiong is now riding on a tall horse, and he seems to stand out more and more. With such a majestic figure, even if Hua Xiong did not hone the "Zhan Qi", relying on his brute strength alone, he was worthy of a top-level "Hundred People Slash".

The soldiers of the infantry battalion around are many brave people. It is said that there are two or three fierce people who have the strength of "Thousand People Breaking". However, after hearing that Hua Xiong had become the chief general of the "trap soldiers", none of these unruly guys dared to jump out and express their dissatisfaction with this appointment.

Because, as long as you are well-informed in the barracks, you will know: Huaxiong's guy is not only extremely strong in martial arts, but he is afraid that half a foot has already entered the ranks of "ten thousand enemies". Moreover, when he started to do it, his methods were also like other Liangzhou soldiers, extremely ruthless.

Not to mention anything else, in a dispute between the Western Liang Army and the Northern Army a few months ago, this guy shouted loudly in the field, made a life and death relationship with the opponent, and then mercilessly killed three warriors in the Northern Army. When the fourth soldier of the Northern Army shouted loudly to admit defeat, Hua Xiong still did not give up, raised his big knife, and stabbed his opponent in two.

Therefore, after Dong Zhuo announced that Hua Xiong would serve as the chief general of the "Trap Soldiers", he really succeeded in suppressing those brave men in the army from all over the country. As long as Hua Xiong's eyes widened, no Han sergeant dared to grin in front of him.

"Hurry up! Stay in formation! ”

The long-pole broadsword used by Hua Xiong weighed no less than fifty catties. However, in his hands, the broadsword was like a rattan, constantly being used to beat the soldiers who were not well formed.

With the trust of the main general Dong Zhuo, Hua Xiong does not care about the dissatisfaction of his subordinates. His foundation is not in the Northern Army, but in Xiliang. Even if the soldiers of the Northern Army love Hua Xiong again, it is meaningless to Hua Xiong. Similarly, even if the soldiers of the Northern Army are dissatisfied with Hua Xiong, Hua Xiong will not lose a piece of meat.

Oh, and there's not necessarily a lack of meat. Of course, the premise is that Hua Xiong's force can no longer suppress his subordinates.

I have to say that Hua Xiong's attitude may not be able to win the trust and support of the sergeants, but it has a great effect in strengthening the firmness of his subordinates' will to fight. No matter which soldier it is, he doesn't want to face the punishment of Huaxiong after the war because of cowardice on the battlefield.

- That's probably a life of death......

As a result, these elite soldiers of about 1,000 people, with complete armor, fierce momentum, and terrifying voice, swooped towards the Yellow Turban Army!

"Archery! Shoot arrows! ”

A Yellow Turban Army commander shouted loudly. His sweaty and shiny head fully showed the anxiety in his heart. With Xiao Shuai's shout, twenty or thirty crossbowmen in the Yellow Turban Army pulled the trigger of their bows and crossbows one after another, or opened their bows and arrows, and shot strong or weak arrows at the huge waves of Xuanjia not far ahead.

However, these sparse arrows, shot in the wave of Xuanjia, were like a small stone thrown into the river, making a soft sound, and then, even the splash disappeared.

A crossbow arrow coincidentally aimed at Hua Xiong's face, and he was stunned. Hua Xiong didn't even have any interest in knocking this arrow, he just raised his arms casually and protected them in front of the door. Just listened to the sound of "dang", and the arrow didn't even pierce the iron armor leaf on Hua Xiong's arm, so it was gently bounced aside.

Glancing contemptuously at the enemy thirty paces away, Hua Xiong turned over and jumped off his tall horse. Although his kung fu is not bad, he is still down-to-earth and can exert an amazing force.

Now, there are only fifty steps away from the Yellow Turbans.

"Ready!"

Hua Xiong shouted in a throat like a broken gong. Hearing the order of the commander, the well-trained warriors of the Han army obeyed the order accurately.

"Volley!"

In the first row of the "traps" queue are crossbowmen who are good at shooting. As soon as the powerful crossbows in the hands of these warriors were launched, they immediately caused a bloody storm in the Yellow Turban Army on the opposite side!
