Chapter 36: Han Ling

Erzhu Zhao led the armored cavalry to charge, and the sound of horses' hooves roared, and the earth shook.

Gao Huan's front army was crushed at the first touch, and was easily chiseled through by Er Zhu Zhao.

How could He Liuhun's subordinates be vulnerable?

didn't have time to think about it, Er Zhuzhao led the army to rush straight to Gao Huan's Chinese army, but saw a scene that made his eyes split:

Gao Huan's Chinese army has chariots connected to it as a barrier, and the wheels are placed with arrow plates.

Since Liu Yu relied on the chariot formation to defeat the 30,000 elite cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty with 2,000 foot soldiers, no cavalry commander in the north dared to directly attack the chariot array.

Erzhu Zhao quickly turned his horse's head and ordered the knights to follow him in a detour, hoping to break through from the rear.

However, Gao Huan defended in a circle, and Er Zhuzhao turned around and returned to the same place, but never found a flaw.

With Gao Huan's handsome banner close at hand, Er Zhu Zhao was determined to take a risk, and he led three thousand armored horsemen to try to charge into battle.

Before the knights rushed to the front of the chariot, many of them were dismounted by the foot soldiers with halberds on the chariots, and there were soldiers with long-handled broadswords behind the chariots who cut off the legs of the horses.

However, the bones and horses in the armored riders were not enough to overturn the chariot.

Gao Huan knew that the armored cavalry that Er Zhu Zhao relied on was extremely thick, and he completely abandoned the bow and arrow, and specialized in training foot soldiers with long halberds and long knives, in order to give Er Zhu Zhao a surprise.

After witnessing his companion landing, he had no ability to resist and let people drag him into the battle with a noose and kill him.

The armored cavalry that charged into the formation broke up one after another, and Erzhu Zhao had to prepare to retreat, and then break the formation with foot soldiers.

However, he found that the Gao Huan front army, which was about to collapse at the first touch, was gathered up again at some point, and the left and right armies led by Hu Lujin, Han Rail, Peng Le and others launched an attack from behind Er Zhuzhao, and the light cavalry behind the armored cavalry fell into a bitter battle.

Erzhu Zhao was unable to attack the battle formation in front of him, and was forced to stagnate, and the light cavalry that followed closely behind also lost their speed, and could only stand in place as a live target to fight against the foot soldiers, completely losing the advantage of cavalry.

And Gao Yue, who had already been ambushed, led five hundred cavalry under his command to rush out from the flank.

Erzhu Zhao was about to fight, but the horses were already weak and could no longer rush to kill.

The armored cavalry wears thick armor because the men and horses are wearing thick armor, to put it bluntly, it is a hammer deal, responsible for tearing the opponent's formation, and the light cavalry and foot soldiers who follow closely behind are the main force to solve the battle.

Let the armor ride repeatedly rush and kill, and use the thick armor of the north and south dynasties to the extreme, unless the red rabbit horse under the crotch per capita, it is really unbearable.

Erzhu Zhao had to remove his thick armor and replace his horses.

At this critical moment, Gao Aocao and Cai Qu each led more than 1,000 cavalry under their command and killed them from Liyuan.

Gao Aocao waved the long lance in his hand, took the lead, slashed and swept, and wherever he passed, there was no enemy.

Blood was gushing and wailing was endless.

Gao Aocao's department was like a sharp broadsword, cutting off Erzhu Zhao's army.

Erzhu Zhao's department lost contact with each other, and there was chaos for a while.

Erzhu Tianguang, Erzhu Zhongyuan and others saw that Erzhu Zhao was embarrassed, and they no longer dared to preserve their strength, so they hurriedly urged their subordinates to go to the rescue.

But it was not only the two of him who found that the momentum was wrong, and the general under the command of Erzhu Zhongyuan, He Batsheng, suddenly turned against him when he saw the situation, and all the soldiers under his command shouted:

"The enemy is in Jinyang."

"Justice is in the Eastern Army."

These were the uprising slogans that had been agreed upon long ago when he contacted Gao Cheng.

He Batsheng's troops suddenly turned against each other and caught the Erzhu coalition army off guard.

Another general under the command of Er Zhu Zhongyuan, Xuzhou Thorn Stoud, also revolted on the battlefield and led his troops to fight with friendly forces.

In the Luoyang army array, according to the law of Erzhu Du, who did not move, he witnessed two battlefield uprisings throughout the whole process, and he didn't dare to stay any longer, who knew if anyone under his command had secretly talked to Gao Huan.

So, when Erzhu Zhao was mired in the quagmire, Erzhu Dulu, Erzhu Tianguang and the rebel army of He Batsheng and Dude were fighting.

Erzhu Dulu actually led the army to withdraw from the battlefield, and did not dare to stay all the way, and went straight to Luoyang.

Most of the Metropolitan Governor Hu Sichun under his command couldn't even touch the opportunity to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, so he could only withdraw with him.

"The king, the king of Changshan (Erzhu Dulu) has escaped!"

The sharp-eyed soldier shouted at Erzhu Tianguang.

Erzhu Tianguang looked back, and sure enough, he saw the Luoyang army fleeing in panic.

"Erzhudulu, this is to exterminate the clan!"

Erzhu Tianguang scolded hatefully.

"The king, the king of Changshan fled in fear of the enemy, the king of Pengcheng (Erzhu Zhongyuan) rebelled, the four-way army went to two roads, the king of Yingchuan (Erzhu Zhao) fell into the enemy formation again, the defeat is irretrievable, we should withdraw the army as soon as possible, or we can enter Luoyang, move west with the Son of Heaven, guard the passes along the way, and then plan for the future. Stay in Shandong, and we will be captured by He Liuhun. ”

Yu Jin, who went east with the army, persuaded hard.

Erzhu Tianguang was still hesitating, Yu Jin saw that Erzhu Zhongyuan's Xu Yan army not far away had been dispersed, and immediately made a decision for Erzhu Tianguang to hit Erzhu Tianguang's war horse fiercely, the horse was frightened and fled, Yu Jin immediately led the light cavalry to leave the battlefield.

Abandon the foot soldiers who fought with He Batsheng and Dude.

Now the Erzhu clan coalition army is only left with the Erzhu Zhaosuo who broke out of the encirclement and joined Murong Shaozong.

"I should have listened to you and beware of He Liuhun, otherwise I would have ended up today."

When Er Zhu Zhao saw Murong Shaozong, he said with great remorse.

The matter has come to this point, what is the use of regret, Murong Shaozong can only be relieved.

Er Zhu Zhao immediately said that he would lead the light cavalry to flee, but was dissuaded by Murong Shaozong.

Murong Shaozong knew that there were not many cavalry under Gao Huan's command and it was difficult to pursue, so he erected a banner, blew the horn, collected the rout, reorganized the army formation, and actually retreated calmly with the army led by Er Zhu Zhao.

Gao Huan looked at the retreating Erzhu Zhao army from afar, and sighed to Gao Cheng beside him:

"This must be Murong Shaozong presiding over military affairs."

Gao Cheng agreed.

Er Zhu Zhao doesn't have the ability to retreat without chaos.

Gao Huan immediately ordered Gao Yue, Cai Qu and others to lead the cavalry to gather and surrender their pawns.

He went to appease He Batsheng and others.

Gao Cheng looked around, but didn't see Yang Su's figure, and then asked his entourage, only to know that Yang Su took the lead in besieging Er Zhuzhao, fought bravely, and had been sent for treatment after being injured.

Cui Jishu on the side said with admiration when he heard this:

"Yang Zunyan is a scribe and follows the courage of a warrior. The benevolent will be brave, and the honest will not deceive me. ”

Gao Cheng glanced at him and said in his heart: If you have a clan slaughter feud with the Erzhu clan, you can also have this courage.

Gao Cheng immediately ordered his entourage to inquire about the news of Hu Luguang and Gao Jishi.

Duan Shao followed Gao Huan in this battle, so naturally there was no need to worry.

Soon, the entourage reported that Hu Luguang was gathering and surrendering with his father Hu Lujin, but Gao Jishi was missing.

Gao Cheng was shocked when he heard this, Gao Jishi would not die in this battle because of his butterfly effect.

After such a long time, he and Gao Ji are like-minded, and they don't want to see him die young, this guy is only sixteen years old.

Gao Cheng hurriedly ordered people to look around.

At this time, Gao Aocao was anxious to look at Gao Aocao but couldn't find his younger brother, and when he thought that Gao Jishi might die in the chaos, Gao Aocao was extremely sad in his heart, and he actually cried bitterly:

"I lost my brother."

The entourage sent by Gao Cheng reported that they had not found Gao Ji's corpse, and Gao Cheng sighed in his heart: Could it be that he was captured?

looked in the direction of Erzhu Zhao's retreat, but saw Gao Jishi leading seven cavalry and coming back with a gloomy face.

Gao Cheng hurriedly greeted him.

"Where have you been?"

"Don't mention it, I chased all the way, and I saw Er Zhuzhao, but unfortunately there are only seven people around, otherwise I will definitely be able to capture him."

"Leave Zhu Zhao alone, go and see your third brother."

Gao Cheng said angrily.

Erzhu Zhao's army retreated calmly, and you only had seven cavalrymen to dare to chase it, are you sure that you are not a drunken offender before the war, and how many more jars have you poured in?
