(The alliance and Zhao Wuxian 2014 continued to support, and Fifteen Lang insisted on it.) ）

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On July 12, the battle began.

The sky was faint, and Ma Han was carefully wiping and adjusting the Demon Pupil Bow in the military tent, when he heard Shi Yan's voice outside the tent: "Brother Ma! ”

Ma Han did not change his surname, but made up a pseudonym. As soon as he heard Shi Yan's call, he immediately inserted the bow into the bow sac, sealed the two ends firmly, carried it on his shoulder, and lifted the curtain out.

The dark purple scales on the horizon have been plated with a layer of gold edges, like golden scales flying in the sky. The morning breeze with a faint fishy smell blew over the barracks, stirring up the flag hunting. The barracks were filled with the sound of footsteps and the neighing of cows, horses, and livestock. In the direction of Yuanmen, puffs of smoke and dust rose from time to time, and it was a Yuan army that was setting off. The entire barracks was filled with a strong aura of slaughter.

Under the morning light, Shi Yan and Zhen Yi stood side by side, looked at the calm Ma Han, and sighed lightly: "You really want to fight?" ”

Ma Han nodded, but before he could speak, someone behind him said, "It's us going to fight." ”

Looking back, Xia Houlan, Guan Hai and a group of flying horsemen were already lined up with bows and knives.

Originally, the soldiers of the Zhen clan were only heavy auxiliary soldiers, responsible for staying in the camp, and did not participate in field battles, mainly to help individuals, and also represented an attitude of the Zhen family. Yuan Shao actually wants this attitude, and at the same time, there is also money and food support, as for the family private soldiers, it is best if there is, and it is okay if there is none. Anyway, Yuan Shao didn't expect these miscellaneous soldiers who were not subordinate to each other and had different orders to really help.

Seeing that Ma Han and the others had made up their minds, Zhen Yi nodded helplessly and said: "In this case, I will try my best to arrange for you to be under the command of a strong general, and if you really fight, you can ensure your safety to the greatest extent...... Come with me. ”

Zhen Yi took Ma Han and his party through a group of soldiers marching towards Yuanmen. When he came to a big tent, he asked Ma Han to wait for a while and get out of the tent on his own. After a while, the curtain was lifted, and two men walked out. One is Zhen Yi, and the other is a general dressed in black lacquer armor with a halberd hanging from his waist.

This general is nearly eight feet tall, and with a helmet, he seems to be about the same height as Ma Han, and his eyebrows are thick. Pressing a pair of majestic eyes under the eyes, the beard is open, the face muscles are thick, the shoulders are broad, and the arms are strong, giving people a sense of strength and strength.

When Ma Han saw this person, he was slightly stunned, this person he knew, when Gongsun Chan and the Montenegrin coalition soldiers surrounded Yuan Shao. It was this general, armed with a big gun, commanding hundreds of sergeants to protect Yuan Shao, the lord of the earthen house.

The name of the four courtyard pillars of Hebei will be high.

But. Gao Lan in the early peace years, like Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang He, has not yet become famous, and his military rank is not high. At the moment, he is just a riding governor, as big as riding a horse, but far less than a horse horse in the White Wolf Battalion. Why? Contrast! There are currently only two people in the White Wolf Battalion: Zhao Yun (not yet decided) and Tai Shici. However, the White Wolf Battalion had 1,000 cavalry, that is, at least 500 cavalry and 500 pawns per person. And Yuan Shao's army was only 3,000 cavalry, of which more than 500 cavalry were Lu Bu's Bingzhou cavalry, which did not belong to the Yuan army sequence. In other words, Yuan's army had only two thousand five hundred horsemen. There are no less than a dozen generals under Yuan Shao's subordinates, most of whom are cavalry governors or military generals who are higher than cavalry governors.

So at the moment, this cavalry governor Gao Lan, there are only 200 cavalry under his command, but there are more than 1,000 foot soldiers, I really don't know whether it is a cavalry governor or a foot governor.

Gao looked out of the account, and his face was uncertain. The real strength of his troops was actually only 500, 200 cavalry and 300 soldiers. The remaining seven or eight hundred people, either cavalry followers or auxiliaries, can follow the large army to fight a tailwind battle, but they can't expect a hard battle at all. If it weren't for the fear of offending the Zhongshan Zhen family, Gao Ran wouldn't want to take on this kind of family veteran soldier at all. However, as soon as Gao Lan came out, his eyes lit up when he saw a majestic and heroic horse who was a few points taller than himself. Seeing Xia Houlan who was like an iron tower, with long hands and legs, and a fierce wolf-toothed flying horseman, he nodded secretly: These private soldiers are really elite.

Gao Ran secretly praised in his heart, but his face was expressionless: "Since you enter a certain battalion, you will treat everyone equally, and you will take care of your own sergeants like you will take care of your own sergeants." But a certain also said ugly words in front, when the battle, the military order first, an order, although tens of millions of enemies will go! Those who dare to retreat from the enemy, military law is ruthless! ”

Ma Han said solemnly: "Now that you have joined the army, you should obey the dispatch of the superior when you are in battle, and dare not obey your fate?" ”

Gao Ran saw that Ma Han talked well, and he was another talent, looking forward to it, he was awe-inspiring, and his heart was the son of a certain family, but he was a good skin, so he didn't know if it was real. stepped forward at the moment and grinned approvingly, which was the meaning of laughter, raised his palm and slapped it on Ma Han's shoulder, and said, "Okay, Gao likes this kind of soldier...... Well! ”

Boom! Gao Ran slapped it with a palm, only to feel as if it was hitting a stone wrapped in leather, and the palm of his hand shook painfully, and the young man in front of him smiled and stood still.

Gao Ran was really surprised, he used at least five points of strength this time, he only saw the bitter expression of this young man's grinning teeth, but he never thought about it...... The Zhen family has accumulated prestige for a hundred years, and it is indeed true, and there are talents in the clan. Gao Ran finally showed a real smile and nodded: "Okay! Very good! I only hope that when you are about to fight, you will kill the enemy with all your might, and you will not fall into the reputation of Zhongshan Zhen. ”

Ma Han smiled and said with a pun: "I never live up to the people who help me." ”

……

Knock knock knock! Knock knock knock!

The cymbals are like thunder, which makes people's hearts beat more intensely and their blood sinks. Twenty miles southwest of Xiaquyang, an alternating area of hills and plains, two armies of 10,000 people entered the field one after another. The flags are unfurled, people are shouting, the smoke is steaming, and the sound is shaking for ten miles.

At this time, Ma Han and his entourage had just ridden more than 1,000 steps with the third echelon of Gao Lan's right wing, crossed the northern branch of Zhangshui along the long bridge, and entered the predetermined battlefield. As soon as he saw the terrain here, Ma Han understood why the Yuan army and the Montenegrin army chose this place as the location for the battle.

The hills are low, the plains are vast, and the woods are scarce, which is conducive to infantry and cavalry assault, and it is not easy to ambush. The most important thing is that this place is cut into a narrow strip of land with a longitudinal diameter of only 50 miles by two tributaries of Zhangshui in the north and south. With such terrain, it is impossible to send surprise soldiers to carry out flank raids, and they can only fight head-on battles, which is a contest of hard power without the slightest trick.

"Keep up! Keep up! Whoever falls behind, throw him into the water to feed the fish! "Two hundred cavalry from Gaoran. Divided on both sides of the team, one can protect the foot soldiers from the raid of the Montenegrin army; Second, it can play a role in supervising the war. After all, most of these foot soldiers are weak auxiliary soldiers, and they are still barely fighting in formation, and once they are suddenly attacked while marching, it is easy to herd sheep.

Ma Han and the others are all in the auxiliary sequence, which can be regarded as Gao Ran's ability to take care of them.

In the smoke, Ma Han covered his face with a black scarf, and bowed his head and told Xiahoulan and Guan Hai beside him: "If you want to charge, the three of us will take the lead, but don't attack with the big army." Seize the opportunity to occupy the high ground first, then form a circle and defend yourself against the enemy with arrows. If the enemy does not attack me, I will not attack the enemy. Remember, we're just here to make soy sauce...... Well, the one who came to observe the battlefield was not for Yuan Benchu...... Especially Shengde, don't pass away sex and forget your duties. ”

Xiahou Lan, Guan Hai and the others nodded frequently. Behind them, the ten wolf-tooth flying horsemen protected the eagle slaves carrying cages on their backs, which was the key to the success of their trip.

Yuan Shao's main Chinese army stationed in Xiaquyang has already set up a position, layer upon layer. The crowd is crowded, the spears and halberds are like a forest, and the flags cover the sky and the sun. In the center of the dense Centaur formation, there was a lookout platform like a giant stage. A three-zhang red Daxu hunting scroll, with a huge "Yuan" character written on it. Under the big curtain, there is a bright yellow umbrella cover as large as a military tent. At the bottom of it sat a general in golden armor. Surrounded by armor soldiers holding halberds, there are dozens of heralds carrying various colors of order flags running like flying, flowing back and forth between the watchtower and the various military formations.

On both sides of the lookout, twenty giant cowhide drums are lined up, with ox cart brackets, and under each giant drum stand two shirtless strong men holding mallets. Hundreds of brightly armored cavalry, around the lookout and drum carts, galloped back and forth to patrol, and the guard was fierce.

Well, it seems that that is Yuan Shao's command post of the Chinese army.

Yuan Shao's central army was the east and west, so the south was the left army, that is, the left flank; To the north was the Right Army, that is, the right flank.

Ma Han and others descended from the north and crossed south with the army, so they naturally belonged to the right army. Hundreds of paces ahead was the broad back of Gao Kan's helmet, and behind him was a flag-bearer with arms as thick as ordinary thighs. The flag bearer usually chooses a loyal warrior to serve as the commander, because the flag represents the general of an army on the battlefield and is the main target of the enemy. The flag bearer must not only protect the flag from falling, but also have the ability to kill the enemy who captures the flag. Such an important position is not capable of being a warrior.

Under the leadership of the herald and guide cavalry, after arriving at the designated place, Gao Ran Le Ma stopped the reins, and the flag bearer immediately shook the flag. With this dull sound, the tide-like army behind them slowly stopped, and the soldiers were covered with mud and dust, and sweat washed down their foreheads, suddenly turning into "camouflage makeup".

Ma Han took off his scarf and looked at the formation of the Montenegrin army two miles away while wiping his sweat.

The Montenegrin Army is also divided into three armies, left, center and right, and the Chinese army also carries red battle flags, which are "Zhang", "Yi", "Geng" and other general flags. Most of the soldiers are foot soldiers, the front row of soldiers hold spears and shields, wearing leather armor, and the back soldiers are basically unarmoured, and the weapons are also swords, guns, sticks and bows, and so on, which looks a little messy. The left and right flanks are mostly cavalry, and they are Hu cavalry, each with different banners.

Ma Han had a lot of dealings with the Hu people, and it was clear at a glance that the left wing was a Karasuma person. Yanmen Karasuma in Bingzhou is the self-proclaimed Karasuma King's bone entry department, and this time, it is said that he also personally led his troops to come. This person is an in-law with Uyan, the king of Khanlu, and they are allied with each other, and they are among the majests.

On the right flank is Hugh Tu Gehu, according to Botha's confession, the commander of this Hu cavalry is the Zuo Xian King on the left side of the Southern Xiongnu. This person has been included in Ma Han's must-kill list, as long as there is a chance, he must be sure and sure to kill him! Just for the world to see "Hu Ji Eighteen Beats".

Just as Ma Han's mind was turning and observing the enemy's position attentively, suddenly a heart-pounding agitation drum sounded, and then a burst of excited shouts came out from the middle army of this formation, spreading rapidly, and finally the three armies shouted like a mountain and a tsunami.

Ma Han had to pull his throat and pull an excited sergeant in front of him and ask loudly, "What's the matter?" ”

"Huh?"

"What's going on?"

"Oh, oh...... It's the Glory Array! Our army is in full swing! ”

Ma Hanshun looked at the soldier's arm, but when he saw the left flank of the formation, a big "Lu" character caught his eye.

Lu? Yes, I heard that Lu Bu defected to Yuan Shao...... In this way, the left army is Lu Bu's state army.

Lu Bu's Bingzhou army is in a yao? That is, heads-up! Who will play?

Ma Han couldn't help but be full of expectations like all the soldiers of Yuan Jun. (To be continued......)
