In the sixth year of Guanghe, July 16, the field of the long shrine.

The battle was more sudden than anyone expected, first a chance encounter of several horses, then the support of nearby friendly forces, and after half a day of fighting against each other, everyone knew that war had broken out.

At this time, in the early morning, the sound of the horn had sounded from the camp on the side of the Taishan Officers' Road, all kinds of war drums and conch sounds were everywhere, the whole camp began to recover, and everyone woke up in this passionate music.

The morning light was faint, first the flying army carried the flag on their horses, scattered and cruising in the plain ahead, and then a thousand horsemen were fully dressed, carrying bows and straight, wearing armor and pockets, like sparkling waves slowly pouring in.

After yesterday's encounter, these assault horses have been assembled, everyone knows that the opposite Han army is less than two miles ahead, after paying the lives of more than a dozen flying soldiers to carry the flag, the reality of those Han troops has been detected by the Taishan army.

By this time, the sun had risen over the vast plains, and the black hills showed its full appearance. Zhang Chong, the commander of the whole army, did not choose to stay in command of the large army this time, but personally led the turret cavalry.

This battle was different from all the past, this time it was an attack between cavalry troops, and the number of Han cavalry on the opposite side was about 1,800 people, nearly twice as many as their own. In the case that the number of people is not superior, Zhang Chong must personally lead the team to have the certainty of victory.

In addition, the difference between the style of cavalry combat and the infantry combat also made Zhang Chong have to be on the front line in person. The infantry line attack was relatively static and slow, and Zhang Chong, as the commander-in-chief, could naturally command in the rear and calmly dispatch all the armies to cooperate in the battle. But the cavalry is different, once it charges, it is a wild rush, and it will not stop at all, and the command information behind it will be transmitted to the cavalry, and the fighters will have already passed. It is also because of this that the cavalry fights thanks to the cavalry to make decisions on the spot. Therefore, Zhang Chong naturally wanted to go to the front line of the cavalry in person.

Over there, Cao Cao, the chief general of the Han cavalry, also began his own military strategy.

Before dawn, he dispatched three songs, a total of 600 horsemen, under the command of the general Geng Zhi, to quickly parade forward to explore the reality of the thief army.

Geng Zhi came from a famous family, after the Fengfeng Geng family, his family has been since Zhongxing, two generals, nine generals, thirteen Qing, three princesses, nineteen liehous, Zhonglang generals, Huqiang lieutenants and thorn history, two thousand stones and hundreds of people, can be described as the real Zhu Zi family.

Geng Zhi is still young, but he has already held the important position of Qianshi, and he will be able to achieve the high position of 2,000 stone of General Du Liao because of his meritorious service in the Yellow Turban in the future, which is also a permanent position of their Geng clan. In the future, in the position of General Duliao, he will die in the battle with the Southern Xiongnu and sacrifice his life for the country.

Geng Zhi was ordered by Cao Cao to set off in the darkness and lurk in a high ground in the northwest of the plain, where he could overlook the plain in front of him very well.

But this place must also be very dangerous, because of this kind of position, the Taishan army will definitely seize it, and now that he is alone, the danger will naturally increase. But who made him the person who helped the wind Geng family, their Geng family has always been bold and daring to fight, at this moment he seemed to feel that the ancestor Geng Yi, Geng Guo, Geng Shu and others were watching him from the sky, inspiring him not to forget the glory of the family.

As the sun rose, Geng Zhi, who was on the high ground, saw more and more clearly the enemy's battlefield.

In the middle, the black pressure is like a forest, it should be the thief army that has been lined up, I don't know how they came all the way here from Fengqiu, what their morale is, Geng Zhi can't see it, but the formation is very neat, which can be seen at a glance.

Then in front of the two wings was the cavalry of the Taishan army, and it was too heavy to see how many, but judging from the number of its troops, there must be a thousand. After observing for a while, Geng Zhi cast his eyes on the large array of thieves and infantry again.

He keenly felt that the key to this battle was not the cavalry, but the infantry marching at a rapid pace. The men were armed with spears, arranged in slender formations, and in the morning light, flashed dangerously.

After thinking for a while, Geng Zhi decided to go around to the flank of this infantry army to see if he could have a chance to fight.

A moment later, Geng Zhi led his six hundred horsemen down the slope and moved at high speed in the northeast direction. At a gallop, he vaguely heard that the thief army array in front of him was singing loudly, first Mohu, then more and more clearly, and gradually strung into one sentence:

"Raise the sword soldiers, change the peace, and only let the world return to Qingming."

The sound went from faint to roaring, like a drizzle to a storm, and it smashed directly into the ears of Geng Zhi and others, and everyone's hearts sank:

"This is a phalanx full of fighting spirit, and it can't be rushed."

With the reins in hand, Geng Zhi, who was racing at the front, began to circle to the right, and the riders behind him were guided to turn right like a flock of sheep.

In this way, the entire cavalry team kept turning right, preparing to go around the large array of the Taishan thief army, go around the battlefield, and return to the Han army.

During the Mercedes-Benz, Geng Zhi bit his lip and trembled, because he suddenly realized something that he had never thought about before, that is, he was likely to be the winner of this battle at this moment.

His army had 600, which already accounted for one-third of the strength of the Han army. Originally, in terms of the number of cavalry, the Han army had an absolute advantage, but now Cao Cao divided his 600 soldiers, which was originally intended to echo left and right. But the problem is that his 600 cavalry is less than the enemy's cavalry, and if he is caught up by the thief cavalry, then he will be in danger here.

And once he is eliminated here, the numerical advantage of the cavalry of this army over there will be very small, and in the case of thieves with strong formations, they will definitely lose.

No, we have to hurry back to the army.

Thinking of this, Geng Zhi spared no more horsepower, urgently urged the department, and accelerated to the south.

But unfortunately, he met Zhang Chong, a natural commander, as early as when Zhang Chong commanded the advance of the assault cavalry, he found that the number of enemy cavalry was obviously smaller than the original detection. Then he sent sentry cavalry to constantly roam around to catch the soldiers of the Han army.

Later, when Geng Zhi led the cavalry to rush downhill, Zhang Chong, who had an eagle's vision, immediately grasped the movement of his army, and when they maneuvered to the northeast, Zhang Zhiran spotted the fighter.

At this moment, the cavalry and infantry of the Taishan army just separated the two cavalry of the Han army, if he led the cavalry to maneuver back and destroy the advancing Han cavalry first, then the situation of the entire battlefield would be reversed.

Then, Zhang Chong was about to give the order, and the whole cavalry turned in a circle from the left side, preparing to return to the army to eliminate the Han cavalry behind him.

But at this time, most of the Han cavalry in front took the lead in attacking. It turned out that Cao Cao, the commander of this unit, had been standing on a slope with two or three generals since before the war, observing the situation on the battlefield.

When Geng Zhi rushed towards the northeast, Cao Cao also saw it. He immediately realized Geng Zhi's mistake, in order to make up for this mistake, Cao Cao worked hard with short legs, galloped down the slope, and then urged the horn, don't care about the queue, the whole army attacked!

He wanted to win with chaos, and use the excellent quality of the Han cavalry to attack and kill the thieves and horsemen in the chaos.

Although Cao Cao's cavalry captains and knights were mixed, but in the end, it was the core force of the Han court to suppress the rebellion repeatedly, and Cao Cao's horn sounded, and only for a moment, the knights of the Han army, who were still sitting on the ground and joking, turned over and began to charge towards the thief cavalry in front.

At this moment, the pressure was given to the Taishan army to rush here, whether to meet the impact of the Han cavalry on the opposite side, or to let it go, and still flank the retreat of the other cavalry.

Zhang Chong didn't choose.

He made a quick decision and ordered Tian Jun to take 900 cavalry to continue to flank the advancing Han cavalry, and he himself led 100 cavalry to charge towards Cao Cao's troops on the opposite side.

Tian Jun looked at Zhang Chong's resolute expression and didn't say anything, after a long period of tempering, this Tian Jun, who was originally just a small horse slave in the countryside, has grown into a heavy general, and he knows that Qu Kui's decision is right.

As soon as Tian Jun greeted, the eighteen team generals led the cavalry teams to attack Geng Zhi in the form of a front losing formation.

At this time, Geng Zhi had already led 600 cavalry to bypass the strong position of the Taishan army. But because of the problem of vision, in the dust, he could only see ahead. But the knights of the Han army on the far right periphery saw that a cavalry on the right rushed towards them, and they immediately panicked.

You must know that the most feared thing about the cavalry in battle is that when they are charging, a cavalry suddenly appears and volleys at their waist, and the army is a lamb to the slaughter.

Now Geng Zhi's department is the same, just as he continued to gallop, people on the right began to roll on their backs, and there were screams and fights everywhere.

Geng Zhi's soldiers said to Geng Zhi at the top of their throats:

"General, our right flank was intercepted by enemy cavalry, hurry back to help!"

The sound of the battlefield was too loud, and the soldier shouted three times, and Geng Zhi responded, and his people did not slow down their horses, but only said one sentence:

"Keep rushing and don't care about anything."

Hu Bing was stunned for a moment, understood, and then followed Geng Zhi's side and said no more.

Geng Zhi knew what he was doing, and his actions would definitely be perceived by his subordinates as greedy for life and afraid of death, and he would abandon his robe. But Geng Zhi understands that the most important thing at this moment is to return to his own army and thicken the advantages of his own army. When the time comes, they will quickly put down their horses here, and they will be divided and surrounded by enemy cavalry, and then their army will be in danger.

This is war, which can become a math problem at any time, and it is clear that those Han knights who are attacked are considered acceptable losses by Geng Zhi.

At this time, the Taishan army rode Nakata Jun and other cavalry generals, all of whom came to the front line in person, and they were all crazy at the moment, and they were all racing against time. The sooner they destroy this cavalry here, the safer Qu Kui will be over there.

Therefore, Tian Jun, Ren Yun, Li Fu, Wang Dang, and Yan Gang all rushed to the front. Soon, the Han cavalry on the opposite side couldn't resist and was cut off by the waist.

The knights of the Han army in the second half immediately found themselves surrounded in the encirclement, and then watched the friendly troops in the first half of the army march away under the leadership of the general Geng Zhi.

These Han knights shouted to Geng Zhi in grief:

"The general forsaken me?"

But unfortunately, Du Juan cried blood, but Geng Zhi was unmoved and continued to flee south.

Under the desperate heart, there were still more than 200 Han army knights left, all of whom dismounted and begged to surrender. Tian Junna, ordered his people to bind themselves and sent them into the rear infantry military formation.

Subsequently, Tian Jun checked the cavalry and pursued Geng Zhi.

Geng Zhi walked decisively, but he expected one thing wrong, that is, he was going to join Cao Cao, but at this time Cao Cao had already led the army to charge, and the various formations were scattered, and Geng Zhi could not find a suitable opportunity to join forces with Cao Cao's cavalry.

On the contrary, because he gave up the rear, the Taishan army did not take much time to capture and behead his four hundred horsemen. And now he has only two hundred horsemen, and they are all very scattered.

Tian Jun, who was chasing behind, divided his troops again, and he took five hundred horsemen, intending to chisel the Cao Cao cavalry that had already charged, and to join Qu Kui. And Ren Yun continued to chase and kill with the rest of the people.

Ren Yun's eyes had never left Geng Zhi, and at this moment, seeing that this wave of Han cavalry was getting more and more scattered, he directly led a cavalry team to run towards Geng Zhi with a long guard.

Geng Zhi ran in front with two soldiers, and Ren Yun and the others chased after him. Just when the distance between the two sides was getting longer and longer, Geng Zhi's three horsemen suddenly rushed into a muddy field, obviously this is a mud pond fought by people from nearby villages, but at this moment it has become Geng Zhi's burial place.

Geng Zhi's war horse walked on the muddy ground with difficulty, and the slower and slower he walked, looking at the pursuers behind him, he knew that he was probably going to die here. He took off a piece of jade jue hanging around his neck, handed it to the soldiers beside him, and instructed:

"Send this back to the family and give it to my young son."

Hu Bing was the son of his family, and knowing that the situation was urgent, he hurriedly took over Yu Jue, so he took the lead in rushing through the silt and rushing towards the south.

And Geng Zhi didn't have this luck, he was caught up by Ren Yun and other horses, and seven or eight Chang Ji directly stabbed him to death on this muddy ground.

As for the soldiers who rushed to the road, they did not escape, Ren Yun stabbed his master here, and the Taishan Raiders behind him aimed at him, and finally caught up and stabbed the soldiers to death from behind.

The soldier clenched the jade jue in his hand and fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

In this way, Geng Zhi, a disciple of the meritorious general, who had a great future, was seized by the Taishan Army because of his unconscious advance, and his 600 horsemen and himself were lost in a battle.

This is war! The price of a mistake is death.

Back to Zhang Chong, when he led a hundred horsemen to charge towards the Han cavalry and a thousand horsemen, everyone felt that this was a decisive rush.

Source change app】

But in fact, Zhang Chong is quite stormy outside, and he is strolling here.

Cao Cao lacked experience in large-scale cavalry combat in the end.

One thing to say, Cao Cao has actually done a very good job, from his keen detection of the mistakes of his subordinate general Geng Zhi to ordering a decisive attack. The military literacy shown in this process is very rare, but unfortunately, Cao Cao still made mistakes in the end.

He ordered the thousand cavalry to charge fast, but it should be too fast, and when these Han cavalry charged, they were not formed, and they just rushed over.

The biggest difference and advantage between the Han cavalry and the grassland cavalry is that the Han cavalry charge is based on the formation of military formations, while the grassland cavalry is wandering and scattering. And now, Cao Cao's cavalry is so scattered, it looks like it rushes out of a wide horizontal plane, but in fact it is very brittle. Often two or three rides in front, and the back is empty. Then there is a very large gap between riding and riding, so it is majestic to rush, but when you meet Zhang Chong's hundred horses, it is not like that.

Zhang Chong is still listed as a forward lost formation, he himself rushed to the front as a cone, and in order to give full play to the advantage of piercing, this forward lost formation once again narrowed the wide surface and lengthened the depth.

Zhang Chong is so brave, don't look at the Han cavalry with thousands of horses, but in fact, the enemies in front of Zhang Chong are only one or two people at a time. Isn't that a massacre by Ren Zhang Chong?

He led a hundred horsemen, and as soon as he came into contact with Cao Cao's cavalry, he smashed the opposite horse with his horse, and then entered the cavalry formation. Entering the formation, he flew over, picked, smashed, and blocked, and the horse was like a lamp grass in his hand, swaying at will, and because every blow was cleverly chosen, he even killed several Han riders, and did not hurt the horse in his hand in the slightest.

In this way, Zhang Chong took the lead in the charge, and these hundred horsemen directly killed the Han cavalry formation, with a slight loss.

Cao Cao, who was galloping in the formation, also saw the enemy cavalry going upstream, and was surprised by its might, but he didn't care, because his target was not the hundred enemy cavalry, but the infantry phalanx of the Taishan Army behind him.

This was the suggestion of Cao Cao's other general, the Fifth Jun.

The fifth is a member of the fifth family of Changling, after the fifth Lun, his family is loyal to the martyrs, and in the future, he will be the official residence of the Qing Kou school captain, and he was ordered to level the rebellion of the kingdom.

Just when Cao Cao was about to get on the horse, the fifth gentleman, who was watching the battle on the slope with him, offered a strategy, and his humanity:

"Captain, the key to the success or failure of this battle lies in the thousands of thieves' infantry. Those cavalry were nothing to worry about. They went south to support Ruying Taiping Road, relying on those thousands of foot soldiers, if they can break the thief step here, and the rest of the scattered roamers, what is the use? ”

Cao Cao frowned and said in confusion:

"Our army has only 1,200 horsemen, and on the slope, I watch the enemy's large formation, let alone 3,000. With my little strength, how can I break through the strong position of thieves? ”

The fifth gentleman smiled confidently and asked:

"Captain, look what kind of wind is blowing right now."

Cao Cao glanced at the banner and said:

"Southwest wind."

The Fifth Lieutenant smiled and said:

"The captain doesn't know, this is the wind of victory. Our army rushed into battle, there is this wind, plus a sharp weapon, even if the other generation is strong, it is also flesh and blood, how not to break! ”

Subsequently, the fifth emperor told Cao Cao about his strategy, and Cao Cao was overjoyed and acted according to the policy.

----------

And now, Cao Cao watched the hundred cavalry thieves come out, and his attention shifted to the three large arrays on the plain in front of him.

The battle seemed to be a long time, but in fact it was only half an hour, and at this moment the red sun jumped out of the east, dispersing the morning mist.

An army of 3,000 men was arrayed here.

Cao Cao looked at the flag, on the far left for a while, the bright yellow flag fluttering high, and under it were the four general flags of Li, Yu and Guo Wang. The head of this ministry is Li Damu, Yu Ban, Guo Liang, and Wang Han. This all belonged to Zhang Dan of the Right Captain's Department, but Zhang Chong entrusted Fengqiu to him, so only Li Damu, Yu Ban, and Guo Liang came.

Then look at the middle for a while, the blue-green flag is flying high, and it is the Guan, Chen, Hei, and Sanjiang flags. The coach is naturally Guan Yu, and the two main divisions under his command are Chen Huan and Heifu, and the Changge halberd in this period is also the strictest and densest. After that, there was a burst of earthy yellow flags floating high, and under them were Ding, Xie, Wang, and Sanbu. The leaders of this department will be Ding Sheng, Xie Bi and Wang Zhang, and they are also neatly armed.

After seeing these military formations specifically, Cao Cao knew why these Taishan thieves had won many battles, and why they had the courage to go south to join the decisive battle of Yingyang.

Just look at this fighting armor, it is even better than the Northern and Southern Army, this is a thief?

But seeing this, Cao Cao sneered:

"It's a pity, how can the beautiful woman be a thief, today, they all have to die here."

Thinking of this, Cao Cao grabbed the horn by the horse's bag and blew it.

Subsequently, the knights of the Han army, who had already been prepared, untied their bags one after another, and the bags were filled with fine sand, which was blowing along the northwest wind behind them, and poured directly into Guan Yu's department.

Cao Cao saw that this part was the most elite, so he took the lead in taking this part.

This is the fifth consecration strategy, to disturb the thieves with sand and soil to break the formation.

The effect is very significant, the original enemy formation, which was still neat, was blown by this gust of mud and sand wind, and his eyes hurt, and he could no longer maintain the front, Cao Cao was overjoyed, and he was busy making people rush into battle.

But just when Cao Cao thought that he had the chance to win, suddenly a team of big halberds came up from the gap, and then rows of halberds stabbed outward. Then Cao Cao saw an outrageous scene:

I saw a green-robed enemy general sitting on the Hu bed in front of the formation, pulling a jujube red war horse in his left hand and an iron sword in his right hand, squinting in the wind and sand.

Such a comical scene, who does the green scarf think he is?

Cao Cao casually asked a team of knights to step forward and shoot at the man. The arrows were like rain, and the soldiers behind the green turban protected the man with a big scarf, and the man was still sitting like this, standing still.

What a boldness!

Cao Cao's cavalry followed the wind and sand, getting closer and closer, just as they galloped to less than a hundred steps away from Guan Yu. Guan Yu's big trees behind him suddenly opened, and groups of soldiers holding big yellow crossbows were lost at the same time, and Cao Cao's army rode on their backs. It turned out that Guan Yu had already ordered the crossbowman to stay still, waiting for the enemy to ride only a few dozen steps, and at the same time, he directly shot Cao Cao's front assault horse.

For a while, in front of Guan Yu, people howled and neighed, and a piece of space was vacant. This is not over, a gust of wind and sand swept by, Guan Yu suddenly stood up, stood up, stood up, and ran against Cao Cao's army. At the same time, dozens of horsemen waiting behind the crossbowman took the lead in the charge, urging the horses to follow.

Guan Jun is stubborn and unstoppable.

Cao Cao was already shocked by this scene just now, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. At this moment, when I saw the green scarf head get up and get on the horse, I knew how magnificent this person was, and then waited for his people to rush into battle, his heart swayed, what kind of heavenly man is this, so brave?

A hundred steps away, Guan Yu arrived in the blink of an eye, and the three cavalry generals rushed to the Han horse, looking at the epaulettes and ribbons, and the three generals were waiting to stab Guan Yu under the horse.

Over there, Guan Yu clamped the horse's belly, suddenly accelerated, held a squeeze, picked, smashed, and the three horses fell off the horse. Guan Yu's crotch was not an ordinary horse, but the country's Liu Hong gave Beizhong Lang Lu Zhi's Dawan Divine Horse, and later Lu Zhi gave the school captain a seed shoe, and later the stalk was killed in Puyangjin, and his horse was given to Guan Yu by Zhang Chong.

The hero is matched with a BMW, with this magic horse, Guan Yu is like a tiger with wings. Sure enough, it was here, and the First World War made a contribution.

Dozens of horsemen who rushed from the formation also caught up with Guan Yu, and then rushed all the way towards the Han general who was holding the knot.

It was not Cao Cao who held the festival, but his subordinate general Fifth Jun. Before, Cao Cao rushed to the front, and left the scepter to the fifth jun, and now, these have become his people's life talismans.

Guan Yu was already brave, but now he has a divine horse under his crotch, and there are dozens of warriors around him, and it is directly the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and he kills directly to the fifth jun.

The fifth jun stabbed Guan Yu with a spear, and was broken by Guan Yu, and then he picked up the fifth jun as soon as he stretched out his ape arm, and directly hit it on the pole of the soldiers behind him.

The fifth cun, who was pierced by the hole, spit blood and held the handle, glared angrily, and then tilted his head and died.

Not far away, Cao Cao hid among the horses, watching this scene in amazement:

How many heroes in ancient and modern times can really enter the thousands of armies to kill generals and capture the flag?

And today, in front of him, this green turban, did it!

True...... What a good man!

Cao Cao is greedy!
