Northwest of Huayin, ten miles away.

Zhang Xiu led the army to Wang Qian, and came to the Gaoshun camp with a fierce momentum.

"General, look!"

As soon as he climbed a hill, a small colonel pointed ahead and shouted.

Zhang Xiu was busy and looked closely, and saw that hundreds of steps away, the Gaoshun camp was opened, and a foot soldier rushed out, and quickly lined up outside the camp, just a cursory glance, I am afraid that there are not seven or eight thousand people, and the actual number is quite different.

"What's going on?"

Zhang Xiu was taken aback, "How can there be so many soldiers and horses in the Gaoshun camp?" ”

A small school was puzzled: "Isn't Gao Shun bluffing?" ”

"Not good!"

Zhang Xiu reacted instantly, and shouted: "It's evil, there are not many soldiers and horses attacking Xu Huang at all, it must be Gao Shun's gang who forcibly recruited the people, mixed in the army to confuse our ears and eyes, but ambushed a large army in the camp." ”

The colonel was startled and hurriedly said, "General, can you fight yet?" ”

Zhang Xiu hesitated slightly, then gritted his teeth and said: "Pass the order, line up on the spot and prepare to meet the enemy." ”

The junior colonel said urgently: "General......"

"Shut your foul mouth!"

Zhang Xiu scolded: "Didn't you see that Gao Shun's army has already been killed?" Not ready to meet the enemy yet. ”

"Yes!"

The little school didn't dare to talk nonsense, and hurriedly waited for it.

At this time, it is too late to say anything, and there is no choice but to fight to the death.

As for the withdrawal of troops, it will only lose faster, and only by fighting to the death can there be a way to survive.

"The Han army is mighty!"

In front of the large army, the commander of the army raised his sword to the sky and roared loudly.

"Victory is won!"

The 8,000-strong army responded with three calls, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

"Fuck, it's a ghost!"

Zhang Xiu scolded angrily, and his face was not very good-looking.

Although I know that most of them are in the scheme. But there was not much to worry about.

He has an army of 8,000, and the Gao Shun army on the opposite side is only 7,000 or 8,000 people, and it seems. I want to have a head-on battle with myself, as long as I am not ambushed and sneak attacked. Zhang Xiu has nothing to be afraid of.

is also the Xiliang Army, who can be afraid of whom.

"Li Li's waste was ambushed, but General Ben is not!"

Zhang Xiu tightened the spear in his hand, and said in his heart, come on, see what is so powerful about Gao Shun's soldiers.

Soon, though, his eyes froze.

The formation of Gao Shun's army was a little strange, and the front row was not a spearman, but a hoplite. Moreover, these hoplites all carried huge shields one man high, lined up in a phalanx and quickly assaulted forward.

What's going on, how can the front be the hoplites, and not the spearmen.

Moreover, this military formation is too weird.

The infantry is waiting, not to line up in front of the arrows, and put the spearmen in the front, so as to maximize the impact of the infantry, what to do with the hoplites in the front.

Wearing such a thick iron armor, the morale must be able to run.

And. This phalanx is even more hell-notching, is there such an arrangement of military formations, don't say goodbye. I've never heard of it.

Could it be that Gao Shunjun is planning to defend? But that's not right!

If it's defense, it's not better to hide in the camp, how can you run outside.

Moreover, the Gao Shunjun in front of him was obviously still advancing rapidly.

Zhang Xiu only felt that his head was full of lawsuits, and he really couldn't understand what Gao Shunjun was doing.

The rest of the military schools were also full of doubts, and their eyes were wide and their faces were full of question marks.

However, it was too late to think about it.

Zhang Xiu had just gathered his troops and horses and set up a formation on the slope. The rolling 8,000 Gao Shun army had already been killed, and Zhang Xiu had no choice but to put aside his doubts. He tightened the iron gun in his hand and shouted. "Kill, kill these bitches."

"Kill, kill, kill, kill ......"

The 8,000-strong army responded in unison, murderous.

Soon, the two armies collided fiercely, and they officially met each other in close combat.

Zhang Xiu rode a war horse, took the lead, and the iron spear swept and smashed heavily on the huge shield carried by the hoplites, and in the click of the wood cracking, the giant shield was torn apart, and the hoplites behind were also shocked to death.

At this moment, at least five spears stabbed at lightning speed.

Three of the spears stabbed Zhang Xiu on the horse's back, and the two spears were even more tricky, and they stabbed the war horse under Zhang Xiu's crotch.

"Whew!"

Zhang Xiuwolf howled, it was too late to withdraw the iron spear, and he twisted his body violently, avoiding the three stabbing spears, and when the iron spear was retracted, he swept the three spears away, but he couldn't protect the war horse under his crotch.

Poof!

Xi Yuyu......

The blood shot out, the head of the war horse neighed, and the fierce man stood up.

Zhang Xiu took advantage of the situation to turn over and roll off the war horse, and by the time he swept away several stabbed spears, the war horse had already collapsed.

"I'm angry!"

Zhang Xiu's eyes were about to split, and he roared angrily, and the iron spear shook away, killing several people in a row.

However, as soon as the hoplites in the front row were swept through a gap, someone immediately stepped up, carrying a huge shield and moving forward unswervingly, while the spearmen who followed the hoplites kept raising their guns and stabbing through the gap.

The sharp spears were like countless poisonous snakes hiding in the grass, constantly pounced and bitten people, biting the unprotected Zhang Xiujun all over the body, like a straw man, and was quickly peeled off.

Zhang Xiu fought hard to kill the enemy, but it was still difficult to recover the defeat.

This tactic is so damn that it never appears in the war books.

Zhang Xiu is familiar with military books, and can be regarded as experienced in a hundred battles, this infantry is not only a strange battle formation, but also very well-equipped, without psychological defense, the 8,000 army was immediately killed and retreated, unable to stand.

"Resist Lao Tzu, you can't retreat!"

Zhang Xiu was a little angry, she couldn't even take care of the text, and yelled angrily.

However, if his voice is comparable to Lei Gong, it is useless to roar.

Once lost, this kind of hard-fought head-on battle can easily deal a fatal blow to morale.

The 8,000 Tuntian soldiers were still rolling forward, because the front formation was severely cut off a layer and caused a rout, and I was afraid that Zhang Xiu's army would not have time to stop and re-array, and could only retreat under the advance of Gao Shun's army, and the formation became more and more chaotic.

Even if Zhang Xiu is unstoppable and kills people again and again, it is difficult for one person to control the battlefield.

The situation is very bad. Behind it is a slope.

The front army was pushing the rear army backwards, and soon retreated to the slope.

When Zhang Xiu found out about this, he immediately sighed and finished.

The situation was already bad. This damn terrain is damn bad.

Once the army retreats to the slope, it wants to hold back the formation and make a comeback. It's nothing short of a dream.

When the 8,000 army was all driven down the slope, it immediately caused even greater confusion.

Zhang Xiuding fought the slope, and it was difficult to collect the horses, and countless soldiers couldn't stand this kind of terrible war that almost made people vomit blood, and couldn't withstand the huge psychological pressure, so they threw away their weapons and fled for their lives.

"Assault Array, Charge!"

In front of Gao Shun's army, the commander lieutenant who was hiding behind the hoplites now had the right time. Immediately there was a loud roar, and the spearmen, who were also hiding behind the hoplites, immediately crossed out of formation, and quickly charged forward with their spears in hand.

Zhang Xiu's army was already in turmoil, and when Gao Shun's army was rushed by the favorable terrain, it immediately became more and more out of control.

"General, it's not good!"

At this moment, a junior colonel rushed to Zhang Xiu's side and said with a panicked expression: "There is a cavalry from the northeast to kill it." ”

"What?"

Zhang Xiu was shocked and said: "Where did the cavalry come from, how many cavalry are there?" ”

The little colonel said quickly: "It's Gao Shun's cavalry, there are two thousand horsemen. ”

Zhang Xiu changed color. He said sharply: "Nonsense, where did Gao Shun get the two thousand cavalry?" ”

"This, the villain doesn't know either!"

The Colonel wiped a cold sweat. I was really uneasy.

Zhang Xiu's face instantly became extremely ugly, and she was even more inexplicably uneasy in her heart.

Gao Shun only has 20,000 Tuntian soldiers, how could he suddenly have 2,000 more cavalry, this is really fatal.

If it was a change of peacetime, 2,000 cavalry would naturally not be worried, as long as the 8,000 army set up a formation to defend itself, how could a mere 2,000 cavalry be able to help themselves, but suddenly appeared at this critical time, it would be really fatal.

Xiangxiang. Xu Huang camp.

Gao Shun's army, which was storming Xu Huang's camp, suddenly withdrew his troops, and then quickly withdrew under Xu Huang's nose.

All the Hedong soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. He sat on the ground and gasped for air.

There is a small school wiping cold sweat and scolding his mother. Damn Gao Shun, finally withdrew.

And that damn Zhang Ji, the Hedong Army is here to help, that guy is hiding in Huayin City, watching Gao Shunjun storm his own camp with a daze, and he didn't send troops to save it, it's really not a thing.

As long as they thought of this, all the Hedong soldiers wanted to scold their mothers angrily.

However, Xu Huang couldn't be happy.

There was a faint shout of killing in the distance, and I didn't know what was going on.

Gao Shunjun suddenly withdrew, and this fact is strange.

"Someone, quickly punish the scout to investigate!"

Xu Huang snorted, he had to do his best to figure out what was going on.

Before, the camp was surrounded by Gao Shun's army, and even the scouts hiding outside could not get the news in. Otherwise, he would not be so passive, and before he figured out what Gao Shun's intentions were, Xu Huang categorically did not rush to pursue.

God knows if this is Gao Shun's trick to lure his army out of the camp.

Xu Huang has led the troops for many years, and he knows the danger of the battlefield, how can he make the mistake of underestimating the enemy.

"Yes!"

Some of the pro-soldiers had already answered the order loudly and left quickly.

Huayin, Zhang Ji frowned, and paced around the city anxiously.

Occasionally stopping to look into the distance, I felt a strong uneasiness in my heart.

I don't know why, since his nephew Zhang Xiu led the army out of the city, he has been a little uneasy in his heart.

As time went on, this unease grew stronger.

An hour passed quickly, and there was still no news back.

This situation is not normal, something must be wrong.

At this moment, a junior colonel pointed to the distance and shouted, "Lord, look! ”

Zhang Ji hurriedly paused and turned his head to look, and saw smoke and dust rising in the distance, as well as the huge momentum of the cavalry charge, a routed army was fleeing all over the mountains, and there was a cavalry chasing behind the buttocks.

With just a cursory sweep, Zhang Ji saw that there were no less than two thousand cavalry.

"What's going on?"

Zhang Ji said in a speech: "Where did the cavalry come from?" ”

The junior colonel replied: "The lord and Xu Huang have no cavalry, most of them are Luo Zheng's cavalry. ”

Zhang Ji reacted at this time, and immediately said in shock: "It's not good, Jinrong is in danger." ”

Xiao Xiaoxiao's face also changed, and his face became solemn in an instant.

Soon. The soldiers who came rushing from all over the mountains entered a mile away.

Closer to it, Zhang Ji could already see that the soldiers who fled were not really his own army.

"This ......"

Zhang Ji said in disbelief: "What happened? ”

The crowd around him looked at each other. No one knows when it happened.

None of the scouts sent out returned, most likely killed by the sudden appearance of the cavalry.

Not much. The soldiers who came from all over the mountains rushed to the bottom of the city, shouting to open the gates.

"Uncle, don't go to the Thousand City Gate!"

A sad roar sounded under the city, and Zhang Ji hurriedly looked at it, it was not his nephew Zhang Xiu.

However, the heroic nephew who was heroic in the past and the majestic nephew lost his armor at the moment, which is simply indescribable. Even the horses were lost, and they fled with the defeated soldiers, their faces full of grievance and grief.

Zhang Ji couldn't believe his eyes, and rubbed his eyes desperately, still a little incredulous.

What the hell is going on, is it true that Gao Shun's attack on Xu Huang's camp is fake, and his nephew was ambushed?

And what's going on with those 2,000 cavalry, how did they not get any news before.

"Let's go, come with so-and-so!"

Zhang Xiu roared, and immediately led a group of defeated soldiers to bypass the west gate of Hongnong. Ran for your life.

At this time, the city gates must not be opened.

Gao Shun's 2,000 cavalry hung behind and pursued unhurriedly, once the city gates were opened. Gao Shun's 2,000 cavalry will inevitably take advantage of the situation to capture the city, Zhang Ji will not open the city gate to let the defeated army enter the city, and Zhang Ji will not make such a mistake.

"Chase, Hugh is leaving, Zhang Xiu!"

Gao Shun shouted, waved his hand, and two thousand cavalry immediately bypassed Hongnong and chased down.

The 8,000 foot soldiers who followed quickly surrounded Hongnong's group and shouted in unison: Break the city, no chickens and dogs will be left.

Zhang Jiqi's face was pale, and the soldiers around him and the soldiers in the city were terrified.

An army of 8,000 went to attack the army of Gaoshun. The defeat and loss of being killed was already a huge blow to morale. At present, Huayin only has 3,000 foot soldiers left, how can he still hold the city.

Not much. Gao Shun rode his horse and stopped at the city.

Before the two thousand cavalry were dispatched, the lord sent them to listen to the tune, Gao Shun has been hiding very well, and he didn't take it out to show, and now he has finally received a miraculous effect, just like the lord said, good steel must be used well.

It would be a pity if you didn't make full use of it.

If it was only an infantry decisive battle, even if he could break Zhang Xiu's 8,000 army, Zhang Xiu would be able to collect the defeated troops and calmly retreat to Huayin City, but the appearance of this cavalry broke all Zhang Xiu's dreams.

Under the pursuit of the cavalry, the defeated infantry would not have a chance to gather, let alone have a chance to escape into Huayin City, so they could only bypass Huayin City and continue to flee, and the final outcome would only be the destruction of the entire army.

"Where is Zhang Ji?"

Gao Shun reined in his horse and shouted.

Zhang Jitie's face was blue, he barely suppressed his anger, and said in a loud voice: "General Ben is here, I don't know what General Gao Shun has to say?" ”

Gao Shun said loudly: "My lord has always respected the general as a person, and he doesn't want to meet with the general, but the world is chaotic, my lord has the ambition to help the community, why don't the general lead the people to surrender, my lord and the general have been robes, and they will not be slow!" ”

"This ......"

Zhang Ji was silent, and he was really unwilling to surrender.

Working hard under the hands of others, how can you be comfortable as the emperor of the soil.

If he had a choice, Zhang Ji was certainly not willing to surrender.

But the problem is that the 8,000 army is estimated to be over, although Huayin still has 3,000 soldiers and horses, how can it stop Gao Shun's 20,000 army, and even if he wants to fight his way out of the encirclement and defect to Li Dao, it is estimated that the possibility is not great.

Gao Shun has 2,000 cavalry under his command, and it is really difficult to break through with a large army.

Even if he can run away, but he doesn't have an army, and he is a bare-bones commander, even if he runs to join Li Zheng, it is estimated that the end will not be much better than taking refuge in Luo Zheng, and Li Dao is not a good bird.

Even if he sent his nephew to help, he just didn't want to be occupied by Luo Zheng, who had an enmity with him. Zhang Jike still remembered that after hearing that after the army arrived in Luoyang, he killed Dong Min as soon as possible and took over Dong Min's 3,000 Imperial Forest Army.

Even Dong Min dared to kill him, which shows that he is not a good person.

If you have no soldiers and no right to go to take refuge, how much better can your situation be? (To be continued) R640
