Chapter 287: Where is Gongming retreating from the enemy first
When the light and darkness formed a sharp contrast in this heaven and earth, the 70,000 Wei army and the 60,000 Han army also formed a situation of confrontation.
Today, outside the vast Fancheng Plain, the Han and Wei armies all show their fangs in front of each other.
On the side of the Wei army: Zhang Liao, who had 800 or 100,000 Wu troops, was the main commander, and Cao Xiu, who was known as the Cao family's thousand miles, was the deputy commander.
As for the rest of the generals, such as Xu Chu, Sun Li, Du Xi and others, they were all famous generals in the Central Plains in Cao Wei.
On the side of the Han army: Guan Yu, who was powerful in China, was the main commander, and Zhang Fei, the enemy of 10,000 people who made countless people frightened, was the deputy commander.
Supplemented by Mi Yang, who has been known as "Han Lu" in the past two years, and a number of other generals as auxiliary left.
The lineup of both sides is already very luxurious in the post-Three Kingdoms period when the famous generals are dying away.
At present, there are three strong in the world.
And such a lineup, just taking out any side to attack Sun Quan is afraid that Sun Quan will feel the arrival of the disaster of the country.
But this is such a lineup, but it is just a general battle between the two strongest parties in the world.
Today's general battle between the two sides is essentially the first formal duel between the newly established Han and Wei dynasties.
The combined strength of the Han and Wei sides made the atmosphere in this land of several miles suddenly become solemn.
Under this solemn atmosphere, gusts of cold wind continued to blow the tight formation of the two armies.
But no matter how fierce the cold wind in this heaven and earth is, the formation of the two armies with a strong fighting spirit in their hearts still does not move.

The eyes of the soldiers on both sides were fixed on the enemy in front of them, and in this cold weather, the palms of their spears were already breaking out in a cold sweat.
Both sides are well-known and strong armies in the world, but both sides know that the other side is also a strong army that is not weaker than their own.
The two sides also know that once the war begins, then one of the two sides will inevitably lie on the land under their feet forever, and become the best fertilizer for the crops to thrive in the coming year.
Just when the fighting spirit of the two armies was getting stronger and stronger, Guan Yu rode out of the strict military formation.
Seeing this, Zhang Liao, who was in the Wei army's military formation, hesitated for a while, and then rode out of the Wei army's military formation.
Guan Yu's actions were obviously to meet him.
If he, the general, avoided in front of the two armies, it would undoubtedly be a blow to the morale of the army behind him.
As for his own safety, even if Guan Yu is an enemy of 10,000 people, he Zhang Liao is not an ordinary general.
And Zhang Liao's actions were also noticed by Cao Xiu, Xu Chu and others behind him, but they all understood why Zhang Liao did this.
Guan Yu and Zhang Liao, two former friends, rode towards each other as if they had a tacit understanding.
I still remember that Guan Yu was before he made meritorious service in Xu Du, because of Cao Cao's preference for Guan Yu, many of Cao's generals did not accept Guan Yu.
At that time, only Zhang Liao and Xu Huang would take the initiative to associate with Guan Yu.
Compared with Xu Huang and Guan Yu, there is more of a love for the same county, and the friendship between Zhang Liao and Guan Yu can be traced back to when they were in Xuzhou at the earliest.
The two world-famous generals, led by a good horse under their crotch, came a hundred paces away from the armies of both sides, and finally came to each other's body.
….
Then the two war horses, driven by their respective masters, stepped forward in unison, and the heads of the horses intersected.
This distance should not be between two people who are enemies, but it can be between two people who are friends with each other.
Zhang Liao looked at Guan Yu, who was close to him, even if he was about to start a life-and-death battle with him in a while, Zhang Liao still said to Guan Yu with a slight smile on his face:
"I haven't seen you for a long time, but Yun Chang's demeanor is still the same."
Facing Zhang Liao's greetings, Guan Yu's face also showed a smile.
"The same goes for Wen Yuan."
Even if there were 70,000 wolf-like enemy troops in front of him, it couldn't be at all
Disturb Guan Yu's heart.
After greetings, Guan Yu took the initiative to say to Zhang Liaoyan: "Wen Yuan and I met before the military formation, and if we break off relations before the military formation today, it can be regarded as a beginning and an end."
Hearing Guan Yu say this, Zhang Liao's face showed bitterness, but these bitterness was quickly suppressed by him.
Even if they are old friends who have a good relationship, if they have different aspirations in their hearts, then sooner or later they will part ways.
If it is said that in the past, when Zhang Liao was working for the Duke of Wei and Cao Cao, the king of Wei, there was still room for change between Zhang Liao and Guan Yu.
When Zhang Liao became Emperor Wei's Wei general, the former friends were left with only one way to die.
In the face of righteousness, Guan Gong never contained a lake.
After dissipating all the bitterness on his face, the bold Zhang Liao would not easily show weakness to Guan Yu.
"Yun Chang met me today to break off diplomatic relations, but don't you know if Yun Chang will cut off his head in a while?"
Hearing Zhang Liao's words, Guan Yu couldn't help laughing.
He wasn't laughing at Zhang Liao's incapacity, he was laughing at Zhang Liao, who was his enemy, for having this kind of courage.
Only such an enemy is worthy of being an enemy of him Guan Yu.
After laughing, Guan Yu pointed to his neck and said, "You are not the only one in the world who wants my head?"
"Komeito was one of them. It's just that the voice of the public is still in the ears, but where are the people?"
Guan Yu's words made Zhang Liao's eyes narrow.
Where is Xu Huang?
People in Jiuquan also.
Guan Yu compared him to Xu Huang.
It's just that although he knew Guan Yu's intentions, in the face of Guan Yu's example, Zhang Liao couldn't find the slightest reason to refute it.
Because what Guan Yu said was the truth.
Then Guan Yu tore off a piece of cloth on his body, and then he held the broken cloth in his hand and said to Zhang Liaoyan: "The friendship between you and me in the past is just like this broken cloth today, and it is difficult to sew it again."
After saying this, Guan Yu threw the broken cloth in his hand towards the sky, and then he turned his horse's head and headed towards the Han army's military formation.
And when Guan Yu rode his horse away, Zhang Liao also turned his horse's head and headed towards the Wei army's military formation.
In the process of the two former friends going against each other, the broken cloth that represented the broken relationship between Guan Yu and Zhang Liao also drifted farther and farther away under the cold wind, and disappeared in front of the eyes of hundreds of thousands of troops.
There are many things that cannot be turned back.
And just when Guan Yu returned to the Han army, Zhang Liao also returned to the Wei army.
After Zhang Liao returned to the Wei army, he immediately sounded the horn in the army.
In the tens of thousands of Wei troops, the loud and low sound of horns shook the heavens and the earth.
….
Under the breathtaking sound of the horn, Xu Chu, the general of the Wei army, led a group of elite cavalry to gallop out of the Wei army's military formation.
With the super mobility of the cavalry, this elite cavalry suddenly came to a short distance in front of the front army of the Han army.
And following these thousands of elite Wei soldiers were the 20,000 Wei army foot soldiers personally commanded by Cao Xiu.
Although the Wei cavalry in Nanyang County was defeated by the Han army's Yueyue Formation, that battle was a rout, not a battle of annihilation.
Therefore, there were still some Wei army iron cavalry that survived and fled back to Wancheng.
It's just that there aren't many of them.
Coupled with some of the Wei army elite cavalry transferred from Yanzhou and Yuzhou before, there are still more than 3,000 Wei elite cavalry among the 70,000 Wei troops.
It's just that because there are not many of them, these more than 3,000 elite cavalry of the Wei army can no longer be used as a magic weapon for decisive victory.
So Zhang Liao ordered Xu Chu to lead the more than 3,000 Wei troops to serve as a cover for the 20,000 Wei troops.
The three thousand elite cavalry of the Wei army, under the leadership of Xu Chu, who had the courage of ten thousand people, quickly approached the Han army's military formation.
Thousands of horses' hooves sounded, and the elite cavalry of the Wei army wearing yellow armor quickly came to within a hundred steps of the Han army's military formation like a gust of wind.
When within 100 steps of the Han army,
Xu Chu immediately ordered the more than 3,000 elite horsemen behind him to disperse, and asked them to take off the strong bows they were carrying and prepare to shoot arrows at the Han army's military formation.
When Xu Chu was alive in Cao Cao, he mostly served as his personal bodyguard and did not specifically command many major battles.
Just following the art of war like Cao Cao, Xu Chu has also learned a lot over the decades.
For example, commanding the cavalry how to fight, Xu Chu still knows the basic operation.
The fine ride is also known as the famous ride, and the most famous fine ride in the world is the Wuhuan famous ride.
Unlike the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the Wuhuan Famous Cavalry are all light cavalry troops, they pay attention to the extreme speed, and the means of killing and injuring the enemy are not hard-hitting.
Their combat method is to use arrows to disrupt the enemy's formation in high-speed movement, so as to find an opportunity to take advantage of it and then take corresponding means to kill the enemy.
It's just that when it comes to the current situation on the battlefield, Xu Chu led the more than 3,000 elite cavalry of the Wei army for only one purpose, that is, to disrupt the formation of the Han army's front army and create opportunities for his own army in the rear.
It's just that the movements of the more than 3,000 elite cavalry of the Wei army are one step slower.
When Xu Chu led more than 3,000 elite cavalry out of the Wei army's military formation, Zhang Fei, as the former army commander, immediately knew what the enemy's intentions were.
Zhang Fei is a native of Zhuo County, Youzhou, and Wuhuan's main scope of activity is Youzhou.
Zhang Fei is too familiar with the combat methods of the Wuhuan Famous Horseman.
So when the 3,000 elite cavalry of the Wei army led by Xu Chu approached him, Zhang Fei did not order the Han soldiers behind him to raise their shields to resist the imminent loss.
He immediately ordered the soldiers behind him, and immediately began to release the arrow in his hand.
Jing Chu is the best soldier in the world.
So when Zhang Fei's command flag waved this order, thousands of archers in the 20,000 Han army behind him immediately lost the arrows in the quiver at their waists and put them on the longbow in their hands.
Then, after the 3,000 elite cavalry of the Wei army led by Xu Chu entered within 100 steps, thousands of arrows rose from the Han army's formation and headed towards the more than 3,000 Wei elite cavalry in front.
….
Although the more than 3,000 Wei army elite cavalry had dispersed under Xu Chu's order, when thousands of arrows fell from the sky, this also made the 3,000 Wei army elite cavalry feel a panic.
At least in this case, they can't let the arrows go unharmed.
Zhang Fei knew that the best way to prevent the elixir of the elite cavalry from missing arrows was not to raise a shield to resist, but to take the lead in releasing the arrows so that the elite cavalry could not release the arrows.
Because no matter how good the shield defense is, most of them can only defend in front of you.
And with the high mobility of the fine rider, the direction in which they can release the arrow is flexible and changeable.
Just as Guan Yu, a northerner, became a famous general who was good at water warfare in the world, Zhang Fei, who originally loved cavalry warfare more, has become a famous general who is good at commanding infantry battles under the influence of the situation.
And after the more than 3,000 Wei army elite cavalry were forced to retreat by thousands of Han army arrows, Xu Chu originally wanted to lead the 3,000 Wei army elite cavalry to the flank to repeat the old trick.
But unfortunately, at this time, the Han army had already formed a square formation under the command of Zhang Fei.
Outside of this huge square formation, there were Han troops armed with spears, and in that square formation were Han archers all over the place.
It's available in all directions.
Moreover, at this time, Mi Yang also led 20,000 Han troops and began to continuously assemble towards Zhang Fei's flank.
This is the disadvantage of fine riding.
Their main means of attacking the enemy is mainly to harass, but as long as the infantry is prepared, the means of attacking and harassing are only auxiliary means after all.
After the calm Xu Chu saw that the 3,000 elite cavalry of the Wei army led by him could no longer play a role in harassing the 20,000 Han troops in front of him, he could only lead the more than 3,000 elite cavalry of the Wei army to retreat.
Come quickly, retreat quickly.
And when the 3,000 Wei army cavalry retreated, the 20,000 Wei army foot soldiers led by Cao Xiu himself in their rear had already arrived not far in front of the Han army's formation.
Unlike the cavalry, the infantry is serious about killing the enemy
There will always be only one way to fight.
That is to form a formation and press towards the enemy, like a millstone that never stops, completely crushing all the enemies in front of it.
Although Cao Xiu was born as a cavalry general, his ability to command infantry combat is also good.
Cao Xiu didn't know if Zhang Liao did it on purpose, and when he learned that the enemy's former army commander would be Zhang Fei, he also sent him to attack the front army of the Han army.
It's just that the military order is current, and he can't afford to hesitate at this time.
Although he was jealous of Zhang Fei in his heart, Cao Xiu was also a brave man, and the blood in his heart was not inferior to any general in the world.
After Cao Xiu led 20,000 Wei troops into the 100 steps of the Han army, Cao Xiu commanded the infantry soldiers behind him to raise their shields in advance to protect them from the possible arrival of the Han army's arrow rain attack.
It's just that to Cao Xiu's surprise, Zhang Fei did not order the soldiers behind him to release arrows, he just ordered a group of more than 2,000 light cavalry troops in the Han army formation to attack.
Originally, there were not many cavalry troops in Jingzhou, which was determined by the region.
It's just that after the flooding of the Seventh Army that year, Hu Xiu, the assassin of Jingzhou, and Fu Fang, the Taishou of Nanxiang, saw that Guan Yu was prosperous, so they surrendered to Guan Yu.
Their surrender also left Guan Yu with an organized light cavalry.
The front army is the most important in the army, so Guan Yu handed over this light cavalry army of more than 2,000 people to Commander Zhang Fei before the war.
After Zhang Fei successfully contained the attack of the elite cavalry led by Xu Chu, he wanted Hu Xiu to lead his more than 2,000 light cavalry troops to tentatively attack Cao Xiu's infantry army.
If you can use this to find the flaws in Cao Xiubu's military formation, it will also be excellent.
After Hu Xiu led two thousand light cavalry troops out of the Han army's military formation, he quickly headed towards Cao Xiu's infantry formation.
When he saw Hu Xiu leading the light cavalry army to arrive, Xu Chu, who had just retreated, wanted to immediately lead the army to attack, but Cao Xiu stopped him.
Facing Hu Xiu, who was leading more than 2,000 light cavalry troops to approach, a sneer appeared on the corner of Cao Xiu's mouth.
