Chapter 90: Growing Confusion
The three hundred flying shadows had already put on their crossbow arrows again, and the dozen or so cavalrymen who were lucky enough to rush over from the trap were instantly put down by the crossbow arrows and their horses.
Almost all of the four hundred cavalry of Li Ye's department who rushed to the front fell into the pit, and the trench as deep as Zhang Xu was quickly filled, except for the bottom layer of the pit, the rest of the cavalry who were not killed by the wooden spears and bamboo thorns at the bottom of the pit did not have time to climb out, and most of them were shot dead by the archers arranged by Feiying and Zhang Liaozao, and the military Sima Li Ye was shot into a hedgehog.
Seeing the chaos in front, the four hundred cavalry of Zhang Mai's subordinate hurriedly reined in their horses, and when they came to the front, they couldn't help but gasp when they looked at this scene.
And the soldiers on Ji Ping's side, especially those recruits, subconsciously looked at the young man with a wound on his face and wrapped in a white cloth, his eyes were full of respect and gratitude.
Before Ji Ping ordered more than 10,000 recruits to dig pits, these recruits who were bent on fighting did not know Ji Ping's identity, so they inevitably resisted, but Ji Ping only said one sentence: "Sweat is better than blood, every trap can save your life and save the lives of hundreds of your comrades." ”
Zhang Liao has 15,000 soldiers, and 12,000 are recruits, and even if there are 3,000 veterans to drive it, it is difficult to fight against Dong Zhuo's elite soldiers, and the best situation is also a result of losing both.
Therefore, Ji Ping can only be ingenious and think of other methods, for this battle, the main strategy adopted is the trap defense tactic, which is also his most habitual method.
It was difficult for the Kwantung princes to attack Hangu Pass, and Ji Ping concluded that Dong Zhuo was bound to attack, plus Dong Zhuo's most powerful cavalry, the battle method and the object of battle had been decided, and after he put forward his own ideas, Zhang Liao and Duan Xuan 、?? Pipits?? Sugar Blessing? Skill?? Huh?? 懔12 bed fan x send 谙葳逭 coranyl? Bi Ping?? Splash Cormorant small? >In addition to the traps outside the fence, there are three deep ditches of one zhang and five widths in the camp, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but the effect is remarkable.
When Cao Cao visited before, he was shocked to see such a scale of traps, and he strongly agreed, and after he returned, he hurriedly ordered the Xiahou brothers to move soldiers to dig traps.
Behind the trap, Zhang Liao ordered the pikemen to be on standby, and the archers immediately replenished the arrows, and at the same time retreated the wounded for treatment.
And Ji Ping once again ordered the drum and the flag order.
Soon, in the right army, Guan Yu led 400 cavalry to outflank and rushed to Zhang Mai's cavalry, which had stopped in front of that trap and lost the power to attack.
"Kill!" It was too late to retreat, Zhang Mai could only roar, turned around and led the cavalry to kill Guan Yu.
In the eyes of Zhang Mai and even his subordinate Qianghu cavalry, no cavalry in the Central Plains can compete with the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry!
But what they encountered was the top general Guan Yu, the enemy of 10,000 people, the courage of the soldiers, Guan Yu came with the cavalry Pegasus, chopped Zhang Mai head-on, cut left and right, invincible, and its might was enough to make the Qianghu cavalry fearless.
Before the next wave of Hu Zhen's attack, the left and right armies also slowly retreated a defensive line, once again forming a solid front with the Chinese army.
In Hu Zhen's army, Hu Zhen, who was full of confidence, was shocked, but more ashamed, he had invested nearly 5,000 cavalry in the big battle with Zhang Liao, 2,000 infantry on the left and right sides, 2,000 infantry on the front, 800 cavalry, and nearly one-third of the troops, but almost the entire army was wiped out, and Zhang Liao suffered little loss, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face.
At this time, he didn't even dare to look back, but he could already think of Dong Zhuo's anger when Hangu was closed.
Hu Zhen ordered with a pale face: "The whole army is attacking!" The former army collects the corpses to fill the traps! ”
……
When the sun rose, just east of Hangu Pass, it was Hu Zhen of the Northern Route Army who attacked Zhang Liao, and the Middle Route Army that attacked Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo's army dispatched the "Zhonglang General Lu" Dayan, it was Lu Bu, with Gao Shun, Song Xian, Wei Xu, Hao Meng four strong generals, and Dong Zhuo sent him the captain Fan Chou, with 4,000 soldiers and horses, and the Niu Auxiliary Army sent to assist him with the captain Guo Yan, with 4,000 people, plus Lu Bu's soldiers and horses, a total of 10,000 foot cavalry.
Before dawn, in front of this group of soldiers and horses, Fan Chou and Guo Yan took the lead, driving away 20,000 people and almost breaking up Yuan Shao's army.
At this time, in front of the middle route army of the Kwantung princes, there were corpses of people who died tragically, and there were people who struggled to escape, constantly dying under the ice blade of the stray arrows, and the soldiers and horses of the two sides fought together, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
In the camp of the Chinese army, Yuan Shao was wearing armor and holding a long sword, sitting in the Chinese army, surrounded by Wang Kuang, Yuan Yi, and Liu Dai, several of whom were all with their heads lowered and their faces heavy.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Ladies and gentlemen! Yuan Shao suddenly shouted: "We are not killing innocent people, but rebellious thieves, just like the yellow turban moth thief, who should have been killed!" ”
Yuan Shao's middle route army had several soldiers and horses, did not arrange too many traps, and there were too many people who were driven away, mixed with Qianghu soldiers, and rushed directly into Yuan Shao's camp, in the dark, Yuan Shao's soldiers could not see, and directly shot hundreds of people.
After dawn, the unarmed people were killed and wounded, but there were still nearly 10,000 people who were impacting the camp, and the shape was critical, Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and directly ordered an indiscriminate attack, and suddenly countless people were slaughtered by the two armies.
Yingchuan is too guarded to Kong? Bottle blowing? Commander? In?? Collect? Benzene? Malaria is silent? Guarding against the elderly? Record the night and say thumbs? Vegetable widows? Pinin? >The remaining princes of the Chinese army, Cao Cao and Bao Xin, also because they imitated Ji Ping's trap, did not slaughter the people with their own hands, and the station was closest to the Zhang Liao camp in the north, and at this time they were fighting bloodily with the attacking Dong Zhuobing, while Wang Kuang, Yuan Yi, and Liu Dai came to Yuan Shao's army, and they were all depressed.
For these celebrities, slaughtering the people means losing their greatest capital and reputation, which is more entangled than death.
At this time, hearing what Yuan Shao said, several people's expressions were relaxed, and Wang Kuang hurriedly opened his mouth and echoed: "What the alliance leader said is very true, if we slaughter the people, we will naturally be guilty, but now the killing of the traitor is to crusade against Dong Zhuo, Kuang to support the Han family, and benefit the world!" ”
Yuan Yi and Liu Dai let out a sigh, their eyes flickered, and they said with a smile: "That's right!" Exactly! ”
Yuan Shao nodded and said, "For today's plan, it's better to work together and kill the thieves first." ”
At this moment, Dong Zhuojun on the opposite side shouted to the sky: "Yuan Shao! Kill the people! Vicious and vicious! **As! Rebels! According to the edict of the Son of Heaven, kill Yuan Shao's traitor! ”
Wang Kuang, Yuan Yi, and Liu Dai were shocked, but Yuan Shao's face changed greatly, and Xu Yu hurriedly said: "Lord, as soon as the enemy's words come out, our army's morale will inevitably plummet, and there is a risk of defeat and retreat. ”
They didn't know that at this moment, there were already many soldiers outside, especially the recruits levied by Yuan Shao and other princes in Luoyang, under the enemy's crazy attacks and verbal blows, they had a psychological breakdown and began to flee.
In the opposite Lu Bu formation, Lu Bu looked at the chaos of Yuan Shao and the other princes' middle route army, turned his head to look at Gao Shun, who was commanding the attack of the trapped camp, and laughed loudly: "Gao Shun, this plan is very good, this plan is very good!" ”
Gao Shunmian sank into the water, and only after a moment did he say gloomily: "The two armies have been conquering, since they were upright, and now tens of thousands of innocent people have died tragically, and our guilt is above Yuan Shao." ”
Lu Bu's happy expression also disappeared, and he said hatefully for a long time: "If it weren't for Yuan Shao and the others to raise troops, why would this catastrophe come about?" Kill Yuan Shao first! ”
Turning his head to look at the flag commander, he shouted, "Beat the drum and give the order!" All the army is attacking! Kill Yuan Shao, seal the marquis! ”
In the battlefield, Lu Bu is the best at seizing the opportunity, and this is the time when Yuan Shaojun's position is chaotic.
Kill! As the drums sounded and the shouts of killing all day long, 8,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry rushed towards Yuan Shao's middle route army.
The chaos of Yuan Shao and other princes' middle route armies began to slowly expand.
……
Dong Zhuo's South Route Army, a Zhonglang general Niu Fu who rushed from Hedong County, led 3,000 foot soldiers and 3,000 cavalry, drove 10,000 people, and attacked the 20,000 horses of Chen Liutai's guard Zhang Miao and Dongjun's Taishou Qiaomao.
Zhang Miao was originally one of the "Eight Kitchens" of the party, with a far-reaching reputation, and his status did not have to be low for Yuan Shao before, but he was not proficient in military affairs, and his character was not decisive enough.
Then at dawn, Zhang Miao and Qiao Mao were so shocked that they hurriedly ordered to retreat and stop their actions against the people, which caused fatal damage to their military formation and morale.
Although Zhonglang General Niu Fu is not very capable, he led the most elite soldiers under Dong Zhuo, taking advantage of the situation to attack, Zhang Miao and Qiao Mao's army was in chaos.
