Liu Ze and Liu Bei stood on top of the city tower, and the officers and soldiers under the city had already lined up and set up the formation. Although he didn't know anything about the ancient arrangement, Liu Ze still barely saw some ways, at the central front end of the battle array, there was a phalanx composed entirely of pikemen, and the tips of the spears were as dense as a forest, shining with cold light. The most effective battle formation of infantry against cavalry is to use spears to form formations, which can be used to deal with the onslaught of cavalry. Under the banner of a handsome word, it is guarded by the heavy shield guards Zhao Bao and Duwei Gongsun Chen, and the bows and crossbowmen are distributed left and right, and the bows are in the hands and arrows. And the cavalry was arranged on the two wings.

This mixed and matched formation of infantry and cavalry is also the most effective formation against the enemy cavalry, and the spears can be attacked and defended in formation, forming a solid barrier to provide protection for the archers with long-range attack capabilities and insufficient protection ability, while the cavalry units on both flanks can choose the opportunity to outflank the enemy position.

Infantry against cavalry, was originally in a relatively weak position, but Zhao Bao and others have long been fighting with Xianbei these nomads, or found some ways to break the enemy, the mutual cooperation of various arms is the key to it, the pikemen defense in front, the crossbow attack in the back, the two wings of the guerrilla cavalry, interlocking, relying on each other, a link has a problem, the consequences can be imagined.

The opposite side was dusty, and the Xianbei people also drove over. The formation of the cavalry does not seem to be as neat as that of the Han army, but the fierceness of the individual soldiers is not comparable to that of the Han soldiers. The Xianbei cavalry was all arrogant, and even the horses under their crotches neighed uneasily, and some of them rushed up to smash the Han army camp.

In the cavalry of the Xianbei people, a high car is very eye-catching, the car is divided into two layers, the upper layer is two zhang high from the ground, four horses are pulled, looking from a distance, in addition to the four Xianbei soldiers, there seem to be two women who have been released.

Gongsun Chen saw some clues and said: "Zhao Taishou, presumably it must be Lingtang and Mrs. Zun on the high car, there is no doubt that this Xianbei person is so despicable that he actually resorted to such a subordinate method!" ”

Zhao Bao stared at the approaching high car from afar, his face was pale, and he didn't say a word.

The two armies were less than a hundred feet apart, and the Xianbei people stopped their advance, but the high car was pushed to the front. A horse flashed out of the array, and the person on the horse had a magnificent face and a strange face, and said loudly to the Han army camp: "Is Zhao Taishou okay if you don't come?" "The voice is loud, although Hu is a person, but he is quite fluent in Chinese.

Zhao Bao knew that he was the Xianbei leader Tan Shihuai, as an old opponent, but he had dealt with him more than once.

"It turned out to be the leader of Tan, Zhao was disrespectful! Zhao and Tan Leader each have their own masters, and after years of fighting, they naturally respect the true character of Tan Leader LinkedIn, but seeing each other today made Zhao very disappointed. ”

"Oh, why is Zhao Taishou disappointed?"

"The leader of Tan dominated the desert, defeated the Huns, chased Wuhuan, refused Ding Ling, but Fu Yu, Jin Ge Iron Horse, crisscrossed thousands of miles, such a proud and prosperous deed, and there is no hero in the world. I don't want to imprison a woman to blackmail today, such an act will not have the reputation of a hero, Zhao is afraid that he will regard the leader as the next three indiscriminate streams. Zhao Bao sneered.

Tanshi Huai laughed and said: "Zhao Taishou misunderstood, Ling Tang and his wife are treated like guests here by me, with fine clothes and jade food, and this king does not dare to treat them badly." The reunion of your mother and son husband and wife before today's battle should also be a great joy. This king respects Zhao Taishou's talent, and is willing to entitle Zhao Taishou as the eastern lord of the land thousands of miles east of the upper valley, I don't know what Zhao Taishou will do? ”

Zhao Bao's eyes were red, and he shouted: "I am Hanchen, how can I come to be a dog?" Tan Shi Huai, if you think that you can force me to obey by threatening my mother's life, then you are wrong! ”

"Zhao Taishou, just your bullshit emperor Liu Hong, mediocre, ** traitor, is it still worthy of the loyalty of a loyal and good person like Zhao Taishou? Do you really think that these 20,000 horses can hold back the king's iron hooves? Xia Yu fled back to Gaoliu without fart, and this king will soon step on Youzhou and drink the Maluo River! Zhao Taishou, if you are willing to surrender, you will definitely be the founder of my Xianbei country, tearing the soil and sealing the king, with endless glory and wealth, why not? ”

"Daydreaming! Tanshi Huai, if you want to set foot in Youzhou, then you have to ask Zhao if he agrees! ”

Tan Shihuai raised his head and said to Zhao's mother on the high car: "Old lady, your son is stubborn, you are so persuasive, this king has always respected talents, and does not want to meet with Ling Lang's sword soldiers, if the two armies fight, it may be difficult to save the old lady's life." ”

Zhao's mother was in her sixties, silver-haired, although she was captured by Hu Qi, her expression was the same, she glanced at Tan Shihuai coldly, and said loudly to Zhao Bao: "Weihao my son!" There is a word for my mother, I don't know if you can hear it? ”

Zhao Bao rolled off the horse and rushed forward, the pikemen in the formation automatically gave him a way, Zhao Bao stood in front of the formation, knelt on the ground, and shouted sadly and angrily: "The mother is on top, the son is not filial, I wanted to take my mother to Liaoxi to live for the rest of my life, but let my mother be imprisoned, and the son's sins are unforgivable!" Today, my son is ordered by heaven to guard Liaoxi, where the righteousness lies, he does not dare to follow his selfishness and forget his public, and self-destruct his loyalty, and only by fighting to the death can I redeem my sins. The mother's nurturing grace can only be repaid in the next life! ”

The words wept blood, and all the sergeants of the Han army were sad when they heard it.

Mother Zhao said happily: "My son, life and death have their own destiny, how can I abolish loyalty because of my mother, my son is the official of the court, the food of the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve, it is natural to be loyal to the country, and you can also look down on the nine springs of your mother." ”

Zhao Bao couldn't cry. "Mother, my son knows what to do!"

The expression on Tan Shihuai's face was uncertain, and he said in a cold voice: "Zhao Weihao, this king doesn't believe that you are a hard-hearted person!" Come, and bring up the men. ”

Several men and women dressed as servants were brought up, and Tanshi Huai waved his hand coldly, and after a few terrible screams, several human heads rolled to the ground. Tan Shihuai sneered: "Zhao Taishou, this king's patience is limited, I don't want your mother's head to fall to the ground like this, you'd better think about it." ”

Zhao Bao was grief-stricken and indignant, angry in his chest, unable to speak. Gongsun Chen shot out of his horse and shouted: "Tanshi Huai, you are too despicable, you dare to fight with Captain Bendu!" ”

Tan Shihuai laughed and said: "Gongsun Duwei, Zhao Taishou is a big filial son, if you want him to become an unfilial person, you just rush up!" ”

"Shameless!" Gongsun Chen was mad with anger, but he was helpless.

Zhao's mother's expression changed slightly, and she shouted at Zhao Bao: "Weihao, my son!" Be loyal to the country and do what you want! Don't care about the life and death of your mother, you should do your part! After speaking, Zhao Mu rushed up at the tip of the Xianbei soldier's knife, the Xianbei soldier never expected that Zhao Mu would kill herself, and she couldn't withdraw the knife, the knife had already passed through the abdomen.

Zhao's wife, who was also in the car, burst into tears, glanced at Zhao Bao from afar, and shouted in a low voice: "Husband, the concubine is gone, you cherish yourself!" After saying that, he jumped from the high cart and fell headfirst to the ground, bleeding from the seven orifices and dying on the spot.

The incident was in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, both his mother and wife died, Zhao Bao's heart was like a knife, tears were like springs, and she was full of grief. Gongsun Chen helped him up and said hurriedly: "Zhao Taishou, give an order quickly!" The brothers are waiting to avenge the old lady. ”

Zhao Bao's eyes were red, and his teeth were almost crushed.

"Kill!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! The anger of all the soldiers reached its peak, everyone's blood was boiling, and their eyes flashed with crimson, like a volcano about to erupt. After receiving the order to attack, the shouts of killing suddenly resounded in the sky, and the Han soldiers rushed to the Xianbei people's position like a tide.

Gongsun Zhan, who was waiting on the left flank, took the lead at this time, and rushed straight to the front of the Xianbei array with a lance, and he turned his anger into a long roar, and went straight to the sandalwood acacia.

Originally, Tanshi Huai used Zhao's mother to blackmail Zhao Bao, regardless of success or not, it was enough to suppress the momentum of the Han army, but what he never expected was that Zhao's mother would rather commit suicide than Zhao Bao to be restrained, and the direct consequence of Zhao's mother's suicide was that the anger of the Han army exploded instantly, and the momentum of the Han army overwhelmed the Xianbei army, and Tanshi Huai couldn't help but secretly complain.

At this time, Gongsun Zhan's fast horse had arrived, and he stabbed the throat of the sandalwood locust with a lance. Tan Shihuai panicked, he didn't bring weapons at all when he came out of the battle, and Gongsun Zhan came very fast, he wanted to turn his horse back and escape, and exclaimed: "My life is over!" ”

At this moment, two generals rushed out of the Xianbei people's formation and shouted: "Don't hurt my lord!" Swinging a knife to intercept Gongsun Zhan. Gongsun Zhan's strength was amazing, one by one, and in an instant, he knocked the two Xianbei generals to the ground. But Tanshi Huai just seized this time and fled into the Xianbei array, and Gongsun Zhan had no chance to capture and kill Tanshi Huai again.

At this time, the spear phalanx of the Han army had rushed up, and the dense spears stabbed at the Xianbei cavalry and war horses in rows, and for a while, the flesh and blood flew sideways, and the screams continued. Locust-like arrows rained down on the pikemen's heads. The Han cavalry on both flanks rushed towards the two wings of the Xianbei people at a rapid speed, tearing through the Xianbei people's defense line like two sharp knives.

On the battlefield, the advantage of cavalry comes from speed, relying on inertial impact force to form a powerful impact on infantry positions. And now the Han infantry is mainly anti-guest, the first to attack, once the advantage of the Xianbei cavalry is lost, the stagnant cavalry will become the belly of the fish to be slaughtered, even if you want to escape, tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry crowded together, it is not an easy task.

Soon, the two sides entered into a melee of hand-to-hand combat, the Han army, which was superior in numbers and superior in momentum, completely took the initiative, and launched round after round of fierce attacks on the Xianbei people.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Tanshi Huai urgently ordered the Xianbei army to retreat. After leaving behind thousands of corpses, the Xianbei people withdrew from the battle and fled westward.

Gongsun Chen led the army to pursue for dozens of miles, captured countless horses and baggage, and returned victorious.
