Chapter Eighty-Five: A Frontal Battle
After five days of fierce fighting, more than 20,000 of the scheduled generals and soldiers finally broke out.
And in order to avoid leaking military aircraft, the battalion also completely lost any contact with the troops outside.
However, for the generals who have already decided on the entire plan, it has no impact, anyway, no matter whether Zhu Jun can succeed or not, he must counterattack at the scheduled time. Not to mention that the time for the army to hold on to the grain and grass is running out, just the increasing casualties and rapidly declining morale have already made the generals anxious.
Therefore, Huangfu Song ordered the army to rest for a day, and then on the evening of the sixth day, the whole army attacked and fought a final battle with the Yellow Turban.
And the Yellow Turban is also very happy, under the successive battles, the morale has skyrocketed, and he has long intended to fight to the death with the Han army.
However, Zhang Lie is not as confident as those fanatical Yellow Turban generals. These days, he has doubts about Huangfu Song's use of various strange formation-breaking methods every day, but he can't figure out why, it can only be attributed to Huangfu Song's tight time, so he has no choice but to rush to break the formation. However, his biggest purpose was to wear down the elite combat power of the imperial court, and now that the casualties of the Han army are increasing day by day, and morale is declining every day, he is already very satisfied, anyway, he is not in a hurry at all.
And Zhang Lie himself was also prepared to be unable to completely defeat the main force of the imperial court, although the estimation of Yuan Shao and others was wrong, but he attached great importance to Huangfu Song, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Wang Xu and others, who were the most damned in his heart. Therefore, he also holds the idea that if he can defeat him, he will continue to consume it, even if he fights for his life, he will fight the elite soldiers of the Han army. At that time, it will be difficult for the Qiao woman to cook without rice, and he will not believe that anyone can turn the tables. Besides, his real killer is still to come......
It's a pity that Zhang Lie's wishful thinking is destined to fail, when the Yellow Turban soldiers laughed and Huangfu Song put out a useless formation again, the rumbling war drums resounded on the battlefield with unprecedented power, shocking people!
The eagle soaring array, which was lined up with 50,000 people, began to move slowly with the majestic drums and waving flags, and the heavy steps stepped into a thick cloud of smoke and dust, like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of the Yellow Turban soldiers.
As the two armies got closer and closer, that powerful deterrence and killing intent finally quieted down the noisy Yellow Turban soldiers, and the faces of the Yellow Turban generals showed a solemnity that had not been seen for many days. Because they feel that today's Han army seems to be very different......
Feeling the increasingly heavy pressure before the big battle, cold sweat gradually oozed from the heads of the Yellow Turban soldiers, all of them tightly grasped the weapons in their hands, and stared at the approaching Han army without blinking.
Just as they were preparing to meet the Han charge. The rhythm of the drums in the rear of the Han army turned abruptly, and the rotation of the banner also changed!
Before the Yellow Turban soldiers came to their senses, countless archers armed with bows and arrows suddenly appeared in the cracks of the enemy array.
And then there was the continuous roar of the generals of the Han army. "First echelon, put!"
"Second echelon, put!"
"Third echelon, put!"
In the blink of an eye, a dense rain of arrows fell into the unprepared Yellow Turban Array, and it fell instantly!
The Yellow Turban General was not slow to react, and while dodging the cold arrows that came to him from time to time, the first general immediately opened his throat and shouted: "Quick! The sword and shield soldiers lined up in the front row, and the crossbowmen immediately stepped forward to fight back! ”
The Yellow Turban soldiers' reaction was also very fast, as the order was given, the array changed rapidly, and countless soldiers with shields rushed to the front to line up in a dense formation, protecting the other soldiers behind them, and the crossbowmen also quickly stepped forward, intending to fight back!
But this time, Huangfu Song made up his mind to fight to the death, took out all his family funds, and when he had already taken the lead, where could he tolerate the other party to stabilize! The archers divided into three echelons did not care about the consumption of arrows, and took turns to change arrows and shoot fiercely, pressing the opponent's crossbowmen to the death, and they could not form an array to effectively fight back.
From a distance, the stretching Yellow Turban team seemed to be rippling at this moment, and when the soldiers dodged, the formation was faintly loosened, and the array was also loosened.
Seeing this, without waiting for the Yellow Turban general to make the next move, Huangfu Song raised his anger and shouted: "The archers continue to suppress the middle formation!" Minions and cavalry charge the enemy's flanks and contain the snakeheads! Kill ......"
The majestic voice kept echoing in the empty battlefield, and even faintly penetrated the drums.
At about the same time, the rhythm of the war drums also changed again, and the flag bearer waved the long military flag in his hand violently.
But Sun Jian and Wang Xu, who were in front of the formation, didn't look at it at all, and at the moment when Huangfu Song's voice sounded, they had already shouted and led the two cavalry to kill the two wings of the Yellow Turban with lightning speed! The galloping iron horse is like a torrent that bursts the embankment, surging!
The Yellow Turban cavalry on both wings had already been scattered due to the rain of arrows just now, but they couldn't take much care of it at the moment when the Han army launched a charge, if they didn't let the cavalry rush up, then they could only be slaughtered!
Therefore, despite the fear in his heart, the Yellow Turban generals on both sides did not hesitate to raise their weapons and shouted hoarsely: "Sons, rush! ”
"Kill!"
"Kill......"
Amid the roars of countless soldiers and the sound of galloping horses' hooves, the four cavalry teams collided together, and in an instant, a wave of people turned on their backs! The thick smoke and dust had even flown into the air.
But Huangfu Song didn't even look at it at the moment, looked at the yellow turban array with an expressionless face, and finally spit out one command after another, launching a fierce all-out attack.
The soldier who was good at fighting alone at the head was extremely fast, and before the opponent's sword and shield soldiers could retreat, they had already rushed into the belly array of the twin snakes, and fought the enemy inside.
The short infantry on both wings followed closely and directly killed the place where the cavalry on both wings of the Yellow Turban and the infantry in the middle were connected, where the head of the snake and the body of the snake were connected! And the long soldiers in the middle were not slow, and they stepped forward at the first time to meet the good fighters who rushed into the enemy's formation, and launched a dense array attack from the outside, cutting the entangled snake belly!
For a time, the entire battlefield was filled with smoke and dust, shouting and killing the sky, and the fierceness of the battle between the two armies almost surpassed every previous battle in just a moment. The empty mountains have completely shattered the tranquility of the past......
With a series of moves by the Han army, Zhang Lie's face changed drastically almost instantly, and as a person who set up the formation, of course he also knew where his weaknesses were. At this moment, seeing that the deployment of the imperial army seemed to be coming towards his own long snake formation, he immediately understood that he had been calculated, and what the other party wanted was to let himself relax his vigilance and then lean out of the nest, and then defeat it in one fell swoop!
Thinking of this, the hatred in his heart had reached the highest, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar: "Wang Xu, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Huangfu Song, you remember for me, I Zhang Lie, he will definitely let you wait for death without a place to bury......"
It's a pity that in the midst of the battle between the two armies, this voice was quickly silenced. And after some venting, Zhang Lie quickly calmed down, his eyes flashed a trace of fierceness, and he gritted his teeth and said to himself: "Even if I lose again, don't think about it!" ”
