Before going to Beiwei and bringing people here, Lu Bu and Hou Chengcheng mobilized their soldiers, saying that this was the intention of the general Zhang Chao, and that the victory or defeat of this battle would directly determine the ownership of the entire Yanmen County, and said that the general also sent a letter to express his belief that the vanguard army would be able to complete the task well.

The general was paying attention to them and waiting for the good news, which made the hearts of the eight thousand vanguard soldiers become excited, and the vanguard soldiers who wanted to praise them well and make war exploits were all highly popular and ready to fight at any time.

The main reason why Zhang Chaojun's soldiers went to the battlefield one by one to die was that the military merit system was very obvious.

It is stipulated in the military merit that all those who make meritorious contributions on the battlefield will receive a certain reward. Among them, there are big rewards for great merits, and small rewards for small merits. The reward is related to the honor of the individual soldier and his family and loved ones.

For example, once a soldier receives a reward, in addition to the possibility of a promotion in his position, (an ordinary soldier will be promoted to deputy squad leader if he has made meritorious contributions; Deputy squad leader promoted to squad leader; The squad leader is promoted to deputy platoon commander, and so on, and the highest position of battalion commander can be obtained. Once he becomes a battalion commander, he has a certain social status, and he can be taken care of by many preferential policies for farming or doing business at home in Jinyang City, even if the battalion commander dies on the battlefield, the family can also get a large pension. The battalion commander is then the regiment commander, and at that time he will enter the general's sight, and he will be personally sealed and his family will be taken care of. It is precisely because the promotion system is placed in front of the public and everyone has equal opportunities that as a soldier will desire war, and will desire to make meritorious contributions in war and return home.

This battle, even if it is valued by the general, once the battle merit is made, it is possible to glorify the ancestors, which is exactly what an ordinary soldier pursues and hopes for.

When the opportunity comes, how much credit and benefit you can get from it depends on your own performance. In order to be able to become a master and make the family glorify together, the 8,000 vanguard troops are gearing up one by one and are ready for a war.

According to the previous plan of Lu Bu and Hou Cheng, a total of sixteen battalions of cavalry were divided into six battalions as archers, responsible for long-range shooting, and once the enemy began to approach, the remaining ten battalions were countercharged by Lu Bu and Hou Cheng with five battalions each, and the opponent was caught off guard. Because under normal circumstances, the number of troops is small, and it is under the attack of two sides, the vanguard army should definitely not counterattack.

It was precisely because everyone thought like this that Lu Bu decided to do the opposite, using the art of war to say that it was a battle between fiction and reality.

Hou Cheng agreed with this suggestion. If you want to win more with less, you have to make a move. As long as you disrupt the opponent's deployment, you may inflict heavy damage on the enemy and give yourself more chances to win the battle.

Six battalions of archers, half on the left and half on the right, were ready to fire arrows at any time, and in front of them were the two thousand Hun captives who had previously resisted the first wave of arrows. In the distance, the enemy forces in the north and south were also slowly advancing.

In terms of the arrangement of the attack, the choice of the prince to go to Bei and the generals such as Ada and Attila is the same. That is to let Zhang Quan's Han army walk in front with a shield, and the Hun cavalry follow behind. From this point of view alone, the Huns did not treat the Han people equally, they were just a pawn that could be sacrificed and discarded at any time.

In this regard, the Han infantry still has some opinions, but the situation is not as good as the people. Their county guards were very afraid of the Huns, and they had to swallow the bitter water into their stomachs, and walked in the forefront according to the will of the Huns.

There were 10,000 infantry in the south and 5,000 infantry in the north, holding shields and lining up in a long line, and they began to approach the vanguard army in the dirt slope step by step.

Faced with the enemy's approach, the vanguard army also made defensive preparations. In the north and south of the two places, Lu Bu and Hou Cheng led five battalions of 2,500 cavalry standing in the front row, and the scimitar in his hand was raised.

A scimitar, also a saber. This was made by Zhang Chao and some experienced knife practitioners from the Weapons Research Institute.

Zhang Chao put forward a general idea, and these masters studied according to his description, and finally refined this kind of saber with a wide back and a thin blade, the handle slightly bent in the direction of the blade, and the blade was relatively heavy.

With this kind of equipment, it is completely possible to use the powerful impact force formed by the horse's speed to drive the saber to complete tactical actions such as chopping, and finally inflict heavy damage on the enemy.

Speaking of which, this is the first appearance of the saber. The reason why it was useless before was because there were very few times when cavalry versus infantry. Now facing a total of 15,000 infantry from the north and south, Lu Bu asked the vanguard army to show off his saber.

The infantry of Yanmen County advanced slowly, and it seemed that they were very powerful because of their numbers. But it can be seen from their untidy, even somewhat frightened eyes, that they are very frightened in their hearts.

Being a soldier in Yanmen County is really a helpless thing to say. Because of the county guard Zhang Quan, the people here have been bullied by the Hun cavalry all year round. And if you don't want your property to be robbed, your woman to be robbed, or your relatives to be injured, then you can only choose to be in the army.

However, this is not a complete guarantee, at most there is a certain chance that you can get less harm than ordinary people.

People like this who are forced to join the army are just using this status to protect their families. When it comes to what morale and combat effectiveness there are, that's what makes people hehe. If you don't even have the heart to fight, how can you talk about what kind of fighting spirit he has and what kind of battle he can win?

This time, Zhang Quan knew in the Yin Pavilion City that there was a great general's men and horses coming nearby. Immediately panicked, while asking for help from the people who were in the city, he also transferred the city guards from the nearby county towns, and this has the 10,000 horses that are now put together.

Zhang Quan himself knows what the combat effectiveness of these people is, but he didn't put his hope on his soldiers, he was counting on the Hun cavalry, in his opinion, this is an invincible and invincible powerful army, and it is suitable to deal with Zhang Chao, a general.

"Brothers, do you see, these soldiers are walking with weak steps, their legs are trembling, their eyes dare not look directly, and their eyes are still a little dodgy, such people are not worthy of the opponent of our vanguard army at all, and even they are not as good as our B-level army, in the face of such an opponent, even if there are many, what can I do?" Lu Bu saw the weaknesses in the infantry camp, so he spoke loudly to the 2,500 vanguard cavalry under his command.

"Kill them, kill them." Most of the vanguard cavalry composed of Xiliang warriors, under the leadership of the first fierce general, were all high-spirited, and the sabers in their hands were constantly waving, as if they were going to cut the wind into several pieces.

The shouts of the vanguard army caused the infantry on the opposite side, who were already a little frightened, even more frightened, if it weren't for the Hun cavalry following behind them, I am afraid that they would all want to turn around and flee now.

There was no way, the infantry had to move forward slowly, only hoping that after they could block the first wave of attacks, they would lead the Hun cavalry to a bloody battle with these enemy cavalry on the opposite side, so that they might have a chance to escape.

"Don't be afraid, we have powerful Hun cavalry behind us, and we only need to block the first wave of the enemy's impact to win." In the southern camp, General Liu Zai, who commanded 5,000 infantry, saw that his morale was so low, and hurriedly cheered. It's just that when his eyes saw the first general in the enemy camp, Lu Bu who was riding a red rabbit horse and holding Fang Tian's halberd, he still couldn't help but feel a chill, this person couldn't even beat Ada and Attila, if he was as invincible as himself, he would fight for a while, and he would have to have some eyes, and he should remember to escape in time.

Even the main general is ready to retreat at any time, not to mention the soldiers below, and they are even more scared in their hearts.

The distance between the other party is getting closer. From 500 steps to 400 steps, then 300 steps, then 200 steps.

At two hundred paces, it was already within the range that the bow and arrow could reach, but Lu Bu did not attack immediately, what he needed was absolute certainty, and he was still waiting.

It wasn't until a distance of one hundred and fifty paces that the opponent's archers could be seen starting to prepare, that Lu Bu shouted, "Shank! ”

As the flashing words came out, the three thousand cavalry led by Lu Bu quickly flashed to the left and right, and then 1,500 cavalry who had already drawn their arrows appeared behind them.

As soon as the archers came out, under the orders of the three battalion commanders, they quickly released the arrows in their hands, and for a while, thousands of arrows were fired at the same time, shooting straight towards the opponent's Yanmen County infantry camp.

originally thought that the other party would mainly charge cavalry, but I didn't think that I would prepare archers early?

The hidden cavalry suddenly released arrows, a move that caught the infantry by surprise. Some of the infantry with shields were hurriedly raised, but there was still a chance to protect others before they were in a hurry, and it was good to be able to stand their shields in front of them.

A rain of arrows shot away, at least nearly a thousand infantry without shield protection, especially the halberd soldiers, became the target, and for a while, pieces of soldiers were shot to the ground, and the infantry camp was obviously chaotic.

"Rush!" Seeing that the other party was in chaos, Lu Bu raised the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, and after shouting, he rushed out first.

With Lu Bu's charge, the cavalry of the five battalions behind him also jumped away, holding their sabers high and rushing towards the infantry camp that was already a chaotic image.

Originally, the infantry relied on the sturdiness of the formation against the cavalry, plus the three rows of halberds at the front.
