Luancheng, county government.

Zhang He paced around the hall irritably, and asked loudly, "Where are the Xiliang rebels now?" ”

A junior colonel hurriedly replied: "General Hui, I have already killed Ben Pingji." ”

"Hey, these damn thieves."

Zhang Heqi's face turned pale, and he clenched his fists and high-fived fiercely.

After pacing back and forth for a while, he couldn't help but ask, "Is there any news from Yecheng?" ”

The Colonel replied, "No news yet." ”

At this moment, a junior colonel suddenly rushed in and said loudly: "General, the Xiliang rebels have destroyed three dock forts and two manors, and all the wealthy clans in the places they have passed have been wiped out, leaving only women and children. ”

"I'm mad at me!"

Zhang roared angrily, his eyes ready to breathe fire.

This group of damn Xiliang rebels is really cruel and has no humanity.

If they are allowed to continue to burn and loot, the noble clans in Changshan County may rebel.

And it is not good to suppress the thieves yourself, hide in Luancheng and do not send troops, and most of them will become scapegoats at that time.

A small colonel's face was bloodshot, and he couldn't help but say loudly: "General, we are willing to fight to the death with the Xiliang rebels." ”

"Please send troops, general."

The rest of the military academies also asked for their lives, and all of them had high fighting spirits.

Just hiding in Luancheng like this, letting the Xiliang rebels burn and loot, it was too embarrassing.

Zhang He glanced at the military academies in the field, and knew that it was difficult to disobey the will of the people, so he had to bite his teeth violently and shouted, "Okay, pass on my military order, and the army will immediately pull out the camp and march east to Pingjiao, and fight to the death with the Xiliang rebels." ”

"Yes."

All the military academies were instantly refreshed and responded loudly.

Ten miles west of Pingjiao, in a dock fort.

Luo Zheng nibbled on a steaming leg of lamb, his mouth full of oil.

Two days later, this is the thirteenth dock fort that the Xiliang army set foot on the ground and wiped out the thirteenth wealthy clan.

The landlords were the backbone of the land in this era, not only monopolizing the intellectual career, but also owning a large amount of grain fields.

If the local officials and princes wanted to govern the place well, they had to use the nobles. If you want to expand the army and increase your strength, you must not offend the powerful in these places, because most of the money and weapons are in the hands of the powerful in these places.

For the common people, the nobles are the class enemy.

However, for those ambitious princes, the nobles were the backbone of their rule.

Slaughtering the strong and powerful warriors is tantamount to giving them blood and cutting their flesh.

Luo Zheng will not use a knife against those poor people, but he will not be soft on these heroes.

In the past two days, all those who were trampled on the dock fort and Zhuangzi were all exterminated, and only some women and children were spared.

Of course, some Wubao and Zhuangzi were places of refuge for the common people to build against bandits, and the Xiliang army did not move.

"Newspaper—"

At that moment, a whirlwind of fast horses rushed into the dock fort.

The scout cavalry galloped all the way, rushed to a short distance in front of Luo Zheng, and then reined in the war horse, rolled the saddle and dismounted, bowed to the ground and said loudly: "General Qiyu, the scouts of our army found that the Jizhou army was killing and rushing to Pingthorn. ”

"Oh, the Jizhou army is here?"

Luo Zheng suddenly perked up and asked, "But Zhang He's army?" ”

The scout replied, "Exactly." ”

"Good, good."

Luo Zheng slammed the knot and asked, "Where is Zhang He's army now?" ”

The scout replied, "We have already arrived at the pavilion, and it is still an hour away." ”

Luo Zheng's eyes were hideous, Huo Ran got up and shouted: "Pass on my military order, order all teams to return to the camp immediately, and then order the soldiers to have a full meal, raise enough spiritual body, and send troops to meet Zhang He's army half an hour later." ”

"Yes."

Some soldiers hurriedly answered the order and quickly gave the order.

On the official road from Luan County to Pingjian, Zhang He led an army of 7,000 people all the way.

The few cavalrymen acted as scouts, running back and forth on horseback, or running to the high ground in front of the army, looking around with their hands on a pergola, or entering some deep and dense forests, and carefully searching for danger of being attacked.

In ancient times, when using troops, whether cavalry or infantry, a large army must have a scout to explore.

If you don't look at the geography, you can easily be ambushed by the enemy and be defeated.

As for what you see on TV, you can ambush a soldier here and a soldier there, and then kill the enemy army and lose it, it is purely to fool the audience, no commander is a fool, how can he crash into the enemy's ambush without exploring the way.

To set up an ambush, many conditions are required.

For example, when one side is defeated, and one side takes advantage of the victory to pursue, the defeated side can bury an ambush, and the use of the pursuing side requires the speed of the soldiers, and there is no time to explore the geography, and the ambush can be effective.

Another example is the night, using the dark to bury a small group of ambush soldiers, which can achieve miraculous results.

Under normal circumstances, if the two armies clash, there is little chance of laying an ambush to break the enemy.

"Newspaper—"

When Zhang Hezheng led the army to gallop, he urged the horse to gallop like a scout.

"General, the Xiliang rebels have been found five miles ahead."

The scout soldier said loudly: "It is estimated that in a quarter of an hour at most, the Xiliang rebels will be able to kill." ”

"It's coming so fast!"

Zhang He's eyes flickered, and he immediately shouted: "Order, the army will form a formation on the spot and prepare to meet the enemy." ”

The military order was quickly transmitted, and 7,000 Jizhou soldiers quickly formed under a mound, with their backs to the mound and ready to meet the enemy.

The infantry is not as good as the cavalry, and the best way to engage the cavalry is to brake with static and defend instead of attacking, otherwise it is easy to be caught by the cavalry and crushed with one blow. Only by forming a formation and defending oneself can we find an opportunity to break the enemy.

Soon, a faint rumbling sound sounded in the distance.

Then, everybody saw the sound of dust in the east, and the rumble was getting closer and closer.

At this moment, the heavens and the earth suddenly fell silent, and the rumbling sound died down.

At this time, a scout came to report, "General, the Xiliang rebels have stopped." ”

"Stopped?"

Zhang He's eyes froze, and his brain teaser was quick, but he couldn't understand what the Xiliang rebels were doing.

Soon, however, there was a resurgence of rumbling.

After half a pillar of incense, a black line appeared on the horizon, and it was rapidly moving in this direction.

When the three thousand Xiliang Iron rode on the wilderness, the sound of ten thousand hooves hitting the earth was like thunder, and even the ground began to shake.

Before the two armies fought, the Jizhou soldiers had already lost their morale.

The Xiliang army was already fierce and good at fighting, and after the three thousand Youyan elite cavalry of Gongsun Zan were attacked head-on in Qiaoxian County, the confidence of this Xiliang cavalry expanded even more rapidly, and the momentum formed when they charged in array became more and more fierce.

As for the 7,000 Jizhou army, nearly half of them were soldiers drawn from various counties, and the fact that the commission was dwarfed by it.

More than 3,000 Xiliang iron cavalry originally presented a long snake formation, but when they entered a mile, the rear army tried their best to spread out to the two wings, lined up in a row, lined up in a fan-shape, and came all over the mountains and fields in the wilderness.

"Order, the army is in a circle."

Zhang He saw it clearly, and immediately shouted and passed the military order.

The two armies clashed, fought in formations, and dealt with different battle formations, and the required formations were also different.

If the three thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry formed a conical formation to attack from the front, they had to be rejected by layers of horse rejection formations.

At present, the 3,000 Xiliang cavalry are coming all over the mountains, and the army is advancing in a fan shape, and they do not intend to attack head-on, so they must deal with it in a circle formation, in case the Xiliang cavalry sees a needle and breaks through from other directions.

Zhang He has been in battle for a long time, but he is absolutely excellent in this regard.

It's just that I thought that the Xiliang rebels suddenly stopped two miles away, and I didn't know what the hell was going on, I always felt that something was not quite right, but I didn't know the essentials, so I had to be more vigilant and secretly keep an eye on it.

The iron hooves are churning, and the earth is gone.

In front of the Xiliang army, Luo Zheng put on armor and helmets, and rode forward first.

The three thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry were like a semicircle formed by a rope, concave in the middle, and the two sides were extended forward in an arc, firmly controlling the formation and advancing forward, as if to wrap the seven thousand Jizhou soldiers into it.

Luo Zheng was at the bottom of the semicircle, and behind him were two hundred ironclad chain cavalrymen who had just been redressed.

"My lord, has the Jizhou army changed formation?"

Xu Chu had excellent eyesight, saw the Jizhou army formation clearly, and immediately reminded loudly.

"Well, the enemy should be broken today."

Luo Zheng also saw it and couldn't help but applaud loudly.

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry rolled forward, and soon entered within two arrows of the Jizhou Army.

Luo Zheng saw the murderous opportunity, and immediately waved his hand, turned the horse's head and rushed towards the flank.

More than 100 cavalry on the left and right sides immediately rolled to follow, making way for the 200 ironclad chain cavalry behind them.

The distance between the two arrows can already allow both the enemy and us to clearly see the details of the changes in each other's military formations.

Zhang Hece was standing in the army, and when he saw this strange scene, his eyes immediately froze, and he became highly vigilant.

Soon, the Xiliang cavalry, located at the bottom of the semicircle, entered the place where the Jizhou army was a stone's throw away.

However, except for the cavalry on both wings always kept a distance, whistling past from both sides of the Jizhou army, the Bailiang Xiliang cavalry on the front did not have the slightest intention of detouring, and still rushed straight over, as if they were going to hit head-on.

"What's going on?"

Zhang He suddenly frowned, and became inexplicably uneasy.

If you change the general generals and commanders, most of them will think that the Xiliang cavalry is seeking their own death, and it is definitely an act of looking for death to attack the 7,000 army with only 200 cavalry head-on, and most of them can be shot with only one salvo.

However, such a blatant mistake is problematic no matter how you look at it.

Zhang Hejiu had been in battle for a long time, so he naturally didn't think that the Xiliang Army would make such a low-level mistake.

Then the only problem is that the Xiliang rebels have tricks.

The answer was soon revealed.

After the two hundred Xiliang cavalry entered the firing range, Zhang He gave an order, and the five hundred archers immediately came with a salvo, like a rain of locusts and arrows swept up from the Jizhou army formation, and fiercely shot at the two hundred Xiliang cavalry.

However, it turned out to be everyone's eyes wide.

Even Zhang He, who was calm and composed, was greatly taken aback.
