Three days later, Tao Qian ascended to pay homage to the general, and the army began to set off slowly.

Only at this time did Zhang Lang know that Xuzhou was rich, and there was no problem at all in the supply of food, weapons, carriages and horses. And Mi Zhu, Cao Bao is particularly cooperative in this regard, maybe Mi Zhu has long said that he wants to break the yellow scarf, and Cao Bao does not need to go out himself, why not.

Of the 20,000 soldiers on the march, infantry accounted for the vast majority. The infantry was divided into heavy and light soldiers. And the cavalry is only about 3000, or light cavalry.

Hoplites wore armor and armed with spears and halberds. The spear is a straight and pointed assassination weapon, which has become the main equipment of the army in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Its disadvantage is that it has a longer blade, and it is not as agile as a gun. The halberd is developed on the basis of Ge and spear, and its advantage is that it has four kinds of effects: hooking, pecking, hitting and stabbing, and the lethality is very high, which was popular for a while in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Dian Wei, Lu Bu, and Zhang Liao are all famous generals with halberds. As for the armor, ordinary soldiers are leather armor made of cooked cowhide to protect the front chest and back.

Light infantry did not wear armor, but carried bows, crossbows and other weapons, and specialized in blocking and killing opponents.

In this ancient battlefield, unlike the current AK-47 rampage, or an intercontinental missile that bombs your face all over the place, the success or failure of the war, in addition to the use of the commander's strategy, is also to see how to give full play to the strengths of each branch of the armed forces and coordinate with each other. In this way, the upper and lower can become one and make up for each other.

The horn of the long journey sounded, Zhang Lang wore the golden armor early, this is Tao Qian specially created for Zhang Lang to invite people, the color of the armor is new, thick and durable, after wearing it, the whole person is majestic, like the golden armor god of war descending to earth, the momentum is compelling, and it is extremely impressive. When saying goodbye to the women, all of them showed obsession and admiration in their eyes.

Gao Shun, Zhang Liaodian, Wei Zhaoyun, Yan Ming, Han Juzi, Tian Feng, and Cheng Yu are ready to go. And what is surprising is that Zhao Yu is also dressed in white armor, with a feather on his head and a spear in his hand. Riding side by side with Zhao Yun, if you don't look carefully, you really think it's two brothers.

Yang Rong refused to live or die, so she insisted on going to Langya with Zhang Lang, and in the envy of the women, she happily changed into a set of silver and white armor, rode a black horse, and stuck willow leaves on her back. Coupled with Zhang Chu, who is inseparable from Gao Shun, and Zhao Yu, who is delicate and lovely, there are three female generals in Zhang Lang's army.

Zhang Lang shook his head and smiled bitterly, if Han Xue and Han Shuang didn't want to accompany Wen Ji at home, they would definitely fight with him, so wouldn't they all become female generals, female generals of the Yang Gate?

When he came to Wen Ji, Zhang Lang saw that her apricot eyes were ruddy, and he wanted to be sad that he would go to the battlefield, so he couldn't help but feel pity in his heart, held her in his arms, and said softly: "Little girl, your husband will come back soon." ”

Wen Ji held tears in her eyes, not wanting it to flow out, and nodded gently. Zhang Langzui kissed Wen Ji and Sister Hua on the face like a dragonfly, and then turned his heart sideways and turned around to get on the horse. At the same time, he sighed secretly, the hero is short of breath, and the love of children is long.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao waved his big hand and said like a war drum: "The army is leaving." ”

The vanguard Gao Shun, leading 3,000 cavalry, set off first, the horse's hooves rolling, and the dust and smoke were everywhere. Open the road in the mountains and build bridges in the water.

Zhang Lang led the Chinese army by himself, and then slowly followed.

On the way of the march, after discussing with Tian Feng and Cheng Yu, it was decided that the troops would go out of the hill, settle in Licheng, take Dong'an in the north, and enter Yangdu in the south.

In order to maintain the physical strength of the army, Zhang Lang chose to take the official road of the Han Dynasty, he got up every day on the fifth watch to cook, set off early in the morning, and camped in the afternoon to rest, so the soldiers were not hard. And Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun are proficient in the military formation, although the road is safe, but they are meticulous, choose a favorable terrain, and set up camp. Six days later, the army moved into Leigh, rain or shine.

Zhang Lang was resting in Licheng, when the spies came to report that the Tibetan tyrant heard that Xuzhou had sent troops to crusade, and hurriedly joined more than 40,000 Yellow Turban thieves such as Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li, and Changxi, and stationed troops in Yangdu. I also want to fight to the death.

Zhang Lang urgently summoned the generals to discuss.

Zhang Liao was full of confidence, and first spoke: "Sun Guan, Wu Dun and other Yellow Turban thieves, although the soldiers are twice as large as ours, but in the eyes of Liao, there is nothing to worry about, only the Tibetan tyrant is quite strategic, and he must not be guarded against." ”

Cheng Yu stroking and said: "Yes, Sun Guan, Wu Dun and others are brutal, short-tempered, and with a little tricks, they will be bulldozed, but the Tibetan tyrant is scheming and strategic, and he is a rare general in troubled times." ”

Dian Wei said in a rough voice: "When you come to put down the formation, Lao Dian will kill the Tibetan tyrant under the horse." ”

At this time, the cute Zhao Yu also interjected: "The little Tibetan tyrant will be handed over to Miss Ben, and it is not easy to catch it." ”

Zhao Yun glared at Zhao Yu anxiously, and said loudly: "Come and say that Zilong only needs 3,000 soldiers, and he will definitely be able to break the yellow scarf and kill the Tibetan tyrant." ”

Tian Feng saw that Zhang Lang just smiled at everyone, did not speak, carefully pondered his thoughts, half a sound, and then said confidently: "Hearing that Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li, and Chang Xi Yellow Turban thieves do all evil, the army kills and burns silver and plunders wherever it goes, and its Yellow Turban soldiers, the rabble, as long as they can defeat their military prestige in the first battle, will have their morale fall, and the soldiers will have no heart to fight." Then wave the army to rush and kill, and you can win. ”

Tian Feng paused, and then smiled again: "It's a pity that the Tibetan tyrant is killed, and we can use it for our own use." ”

Zhang Lang nodded and smiled: "Yes, we have to use the plan to collect it." Let's have a good fight first. The order went down, and the army drove to Yangdu City. ”

The generals took the order with a bang.

Two days later, Zhang Lang's troops set up a village 20 miles away from the capital of Yang. There are veterans like Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, so it is very smooth to get it, and Zhang Lang is not ashamed to ask, and asks for advice from time to time, which is quite experienced.

When the Tibetan tyrant heard that the Xuzhou army had arrived, Ling Haodun, Yin Li, backed by Mengshan Mountain, and Yishui in the south, set up a team to come, and fought for the horns. He led the army to meet Zhang Lang 10 miles away from Yangdu City.

The spies reported to the Chinese army with him. Zhang Lang sat in the big tent and called everyone to discuss.

After everyone finished taking their seats, Zhang Lang first spoke: "Haodun, Yin Li led 10,000 troops, backed by Mengshan Xiazhai, and Yang Du was the corner. What can the generals do? ”

Zhang Liao thought for a while and said: "The so-called horn situation, our army attacked the Tibetan tyrant, Wu Dun came to the rescue, fought Wu Dun, and the Tibetan tyrant sent troops." Forward and backward pinching. Such a strategy should not be underestimated. ”

Tian Feng thought for a while and said, "You can divide your troops to attack it." so that both sides of it cannot be connected. ”

Cheng Yu's eyes were bright, his hand stroked his beautiful temples and smiled: "Yuan Hao is right, the momentum of the horns, this is a child's trick, why be afraid, Mengshan to Yangdu County, must pass through Nanping Road, this road is long and narrow and difficult to walk, and the trees on both sides are lush, so it can be said that a large general can ambush here, and when Wu Dun and other soldiers attack half, they will be able to defeat the thieves." ”

Zhang Lang nodded in agreement, suddenly stood up, held the token and shouted, "Gao Shun." ”

Gao Shun immediately came out of the ranks, his heart was full of joy, he didn't expect to point to himself for the first time, and hurriedly responded loudly: "Gao Shun is here." ”

Zhang Lang said in a deep voice: "I order you to lead 5,000 elite soldiers, ambush in the woods of Mengshan Nanping Road, wait for more than half of the Yellow Turban soldiers, and kill them, you must be careful and not defeated." I led my own army to hide the hegemony for a while. ”

In the envious eyes of the generals, Gao Shun received the order. Zhang Lang still has his own reason for choosing Gao Shun, you must know that although the evaluation of Gao Shun in the history books is not as high as Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun, he is also a rare general, among the generals, only Gao Shun has led troops and fought under Cao Ying, although Zhang Lang absolutely believes in Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun's ability, but the first battle is still fought steadily. Come to say that Fang Chang, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Liao have the opportunity to perform.

Then he ordered Han Juzi, Cheng Yu, and Tian Feng to lead a small number of people to guard the village.

Zhang Lang led the army to open up a formation in a flat and open place outside the Yangdu City, holding a big knife in his hand, taking the lead, Yang Rong rode shoulder to shoulder, followed by Dian Wei and Zhao Yun's troops, facing the Yellow Turban.

The sun is shining, and the knife is shining. The wind roared, and the battle situation broke out.

Zhang Lang looked up and saw that Huang Chengcheng was clear, and the soldiers on the left side were clearly dressed and armored, neatly lined up, and murderous, which showed that they were well-trained. The soldiers on the right phalanx straddled loosely and were very lazy.

Looking back, he said: "The left side must be a Tibetan tyrant, and it is really a general." "Zhang Lang has been with Zhang Liao and others for a long time, and of course they also know some ways to arrange troops. However, his biggest advantage is that he has no way of fighting and will never abide by the rules.

Zhang Lang waited for the Yellow Turban Army to settle down, turned back to Zhao Yun and smiled: "Except for the Yellow Turban Thief, no one is your general. ”

Zhao Yun's face was unwavering, and he asked in a deep voice: "Zhao Yun is willing to fight." ”

Zhang Lang shook his head and said, "Kill chickens with a knife." Then he nodded at Yan Ming.

Seeing this, Yan Ming's spirits were greatly lifted, he had been under Zhang Lang for a long time, and he had a rare opportunity, so he was going to behave well, and he was excited to carry a three-pointed two-edged knife and rush out.

When the Yellow Turban Army saw the Xuzhou Army rushing out, his face was ugly, and he couldn't help but laugh loudly. Sun Guan's general and Nan's heart were quite high, and without waiting for Sun Guan's consent, they danced their battle axes and rushed straight forward. Bian sneered: "What an ugly ghost, the appearance is so ugly, you still have the face to fight." ”

Yan Ming's anger rose and he raised his knife to kill. The two crossed hands by mistake, and the battle reached the tenth round, Yan Ming roared and slashed the southern horse. The Yellow Turban people couldn't help but tremble when they saw him like a ghost, and the three-pointed two-edged knife kept dripping blood.

Sun Guan saw that he folded and Nan, and said angrily: "What an ugly ghost, kill my general, take your life." "Shoot the horse and kill it.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao waved his crescent halberd, rushed out, and sneered: "Yellow Turban child, Hugh's arrogance, Wen Yuan will meet you." ”

Sun Guan abandoned Yan Ming and rushed straight to Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao clamped the black-maned horse between his feet, let out a long hiss, waved his hands, and the crescent halberd split Huashan like lightning. Sun Guan was shocked when he saw that the speed was so fast, and before the big knife could be prepared, he was slashed under the horse by Zhang Liao's halberd.

Seeing this, Zhang Lang ordered the war drums to be beaten, and the battle was rushed, taking the lead. When the Yellow Turban Army saw the generals, they were all cowardly, and they saw the Xuzhou Army rushing over, and Sun Guan's troops saw that their boss was also hanging, and everyone turned around and fled. The Tibetan tyrant suddenly shouted: "Those who flee from the battle, cut it immediately." Then he took the lead and led his men to rush over. Helplessly, the Danyang army in Xuzhou had high morale and rushed to be the first, and on the other hand, the soldiers retreated, knowing that the defeat had been achieved, and the only way to fight and return to Yangdu.

Where is Zhang Lang willing, he took the lead in rushing into the enemy formation, raising his knife and falling with his hand, killing the yellow turban like chopping vegetables, and everywhere he went, there was no return. And Yang Rong's three female generals did not show weakness, like the roar of the Lion in Hedong and the female generals of the Yang Gate, they kept drinking and killing people. Yan Ming, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, into a no-man's land. Unstoppable. The Yellow Turbans that only killed could not be defeated.

The Tibetan tyrant could not stop the Xuzhou army from rushing bravely, and had no choice but to lead the troops of his cronies back to Yangdu.

Haodun, Yin Li heard that the Tibetan tyrant was defeated, and rushed to lead the army to rescue, but he didn't want to be killed by Gao Shun's ambush army halfway, so they lost their armor and fled in the wilderness.

The Xuzhou military flag was victorious, pursued again and again, killed people all over the mountains, the corpses became mountains, and the blood flowed into rivers, only to rush to the city of Yangdu, and then Mingjin withdrew the troops.

Zhang Lang won the first battle, killing 3,000 enemies, capturing 8,000, obtaining 500 war horses, and countless weapons. The Xuzhou army lost 200 killed and 600 wounded, and won a complete victory.

Zhang Lang laughed in Dazhai, and ordered the generals to show their military exploits. I will also make a banquet and invite you to drink it.

When Cheng Yu saw that Zhang Lang won the first battle, he was arrogant, indulged in wine and meat, and his face was displeased. He excused himself and returned to the camp.

Seeing this, Zhang Lang glanced at Tian Feng, and then drank the celebratory wine with the others.

The latter walked towards Cheng Yu's tent with a comprehension.

Cheng Yu's expression was a little depressed, and he walked back and forth in the tent. Seeing Tian Feng coming in, he didn't speak, just sighed.

Tian Feng smiled dumbly and asked, "Why is Zhongde so displeased?" ”

Cheng Yu shook his head and sighed: "Yuan Hao, you have hurt me. ”

Tian Feng was stunned for a moment, puzzled: "Why do you say that?" ”

Cheng Yu stopped and said to Tian Feng: "You know that my surname is loyal and strong-tempered, I thought that the waves were the masters, but now I see it, and occasionally there are small victories, but the captain is drinking and having fun, regardless of the yellow scarf, if all the soldiers are drunk, the Tibetan tyrant has this opportunity to take advantage of the night to rob my village, how to resist." In this way, the captain is not a person who achieves great things. Yu wants to abandon him, but he is afraid of being disloyal. In a dilemma. ”

Tian Feng couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard Cheng Yu's words.
