Chapter 269: The Great Victory

The slanting sun shone through the clouds and shone on the plain, and the front of the Youzhou Raiders began to make a tentative attack.

The huge Youzhou Commando Cavalry Formation, all kinds of flags fluttering, some individuals, some families, some representing positions in the Han family, the whole is a sea of flags.

In the roaring horn sound on the opposite side, the front one of the sudden riders slowly discharged a large formation under the banner of a "Heart Moon Fox", and did not charge, just pressed over without hurry.

But the slower it was, the more grand the momentum became, as if every step of their horses' hooves had stepped on the hearts of the Yellow Turbans, making people uncomfortably depressed.

This tall flag is also very interesting, not only is the whole side cyan, but there is also a fox face on the flag, and then there is a gimbal on one side. It's confusing and doesn't know what to say.

This Youzhou Raider has the most people, lined up in unison, as if it is a red tide gushing from the horizon, always reminiscent of blood and death.

And in the Ruying yellow scarf opposite, depression and fear are pervading at an accelerated pace.

The Yellow Turban Army in the last three formations stood tallest, and naturally it was the clearest to see. Watching the surging thousand horsemen flatten the hill, one of them couldn't help but pray:

"Yellow God, please bless us to disperse the enemies in front of us, for we are fighting for you!"

After saying that, he looked at the sky in fear and trembling, praying to see the revelation of the yellow sky. And then he really saw it.

It was a huge face made of clouds, and the clouds were like a god with gold paint in the dim of dusk, staring angrily at the world.

When the Taoist envoy saw this apocalypse, he couldn't help but exclaim:

"Look, Huang Tian is watching us!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but cry excitedly.

More and more people also saw it, and they looked up at the clouds over there, as if they were looking at the holy miracle, and everyone burst into tears.

More and more people couldn't help but fall to their knees towards the clouds, kissing the ground under their feet passionately, and even chewing some of the dirt into their mouths.

The Taoist envoys in the three Yellow Turban Formations took the opportunity to encourage:

"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand!"

The fear of life and death inspired a strong devotion, and the believers raised their arms and chanted either in Runan dialect or Yingchuan dialect:

"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand!"

And these boiling and solemn scenes all fell in the eyes of the chief general of the Han army opposite.

The Sima who led the front of the Youzhou Raid was Kou Huai, from the Shanggu Kou clan. The weird blue-faced ghost fox flag before was their family's clan flag.

The Kou clan was one of the 28 Yuntai meritorious deeds that assisted Guangwu to set the world, so there was a Yuntai high-rise building on the banner, and their Kou clan was one of the 28 constellations. Therefore, this blue-faced ghost fox flag represents the glory of their Kou clan.

It's a pity that this glory has long since faded and died. Because the Kou clan belongs to the Hebei system, it has been suppressed since the opening of the dynasty, and it has been withering day by day. When they arrived at the time of Emperor Huan, they were framed by eunuchs again, and the entire clan was driven out of Kyoto, losing the identity of the clan of the ministers, and becoming a local wealthy family.

Fortunately, after his Kou Huai's efforts, the blue-faced ghost fox flag finally fluttered again.

In order to restore the glory of the family, Kou Huai, who was eleven years old, enlisted in the army and began his career as a horseman. For the next six years, he was on duty in the beacon of the frontier, and at the age of eighteen, he killed a small Xianbei chief who came to the city, and finally entered the sequence of Youzhou Turquoise cavalry, and became a soldier of Xia Yu. In the next fourteen years, he has been fighting in northern Xinjiang, has been to the grassland, has won battles, and also survived the rout of tens of thousands of people in the sixth year of Xiping.

The sect member chose him as a temptation, that is, to use his sophistication to let him discover the fighter.

And the fighter plane really came, and the Ruying Yellow Turban, which was in the last three formations, was doubled in courage under the attention of "Yellow Sky". The outermost circle of Yellow Turban troops rushed down directly, and they had long forgotten the military orders of the commanders in front of the battle. Even some Taoist officials came up and rushed down with Wuyang and Wuyang.

No one could tell how many of them had left their positions and launched a counter-charge towards the front of the Youzhou Assault Cavalry. actual

On the top, it is how many troops the Ruying Yellow Turban has in total, I'm afraid Zhang Chong has no bottom.

Generally speaking, it is very difficult to accurately estimate the strength of the troops under your command. It's not that you can simply add up the numbers of the officers under you, because you're not sure if they're reliable. It is not necessary to have a large number of clerks and cases to collect statistics, and it is necessary to do so frequently. Because there are people in the army who are wounded, sick, fleeing, and dying in battle all the time, these numbers are not updated, and the roster in the hand is the same.

After so many years of accumulation and institutionalization, Zhang Chong can only say that he has a relatively accurate manpower control of his main battalion head, and he is not clear about the Ruying Yellow Turban on the periphery. Of course, those Ru Ying handsomes don't want Zhang Chong to figure out, how can others know the reality of the troops in their hands?

So how did Zhang Chong grasp the approximate battle damage and manpower situation of the Ruying Yellow Turban?

Zhang Chong had used a method before. When attacking Guanxian, he asked each Yellow Turban Army to take a stone and walk in front of the Chinese army, and then put the stone in his hand into the baskets in front of the formation. When they were all gone, the baskets were sealed. After the battle of Guancheng was over, the Ruying Yellow Turban who came down from the battlefield walked through the Chinese army, and when each person left, he took a stone from the basket, and the last thing left in the basket was the number of battle casualties.

There may be many who were just injured and didn't come, but they couldn't even walk, which means that they have lost their combat effectiveness, and they are actually damaged in battle. Although this method is primitive and crude, it is the most cost-effective way.

After that, the Taishan army continued to the north and fought a decisive battle with the Han army at the Yuegang camp in Xingyang. At that time, Zhang Chong's grasp of the strength of the Ruying Yellow Turban was the data after the Battle of Guancheng, with a strength of 9,000. But at this time, there are nine thousand on the battlefield, Zhang Chong is not sure.

So when the Ruying Yellow Turbans in the last three formations rushed down, Yu Ban's mind was directly stunned, because of the problem of vision, he saw that a piece of Ruying Yellow Turbans rushed down, and it was only as if the Ruying Yellow Turbans in the last three formations all rushed down.

So Yu Ban's heart fell straight down at that time. Because there were at least 6,000 troops there, relying on strong formations and fortifications, Yu Ban was still confident that he could resist the charge of the Han cavalry, but who knows!

"Lack of erection and conspiracy!"

Yu Ban said a word of hatred, and then began to stabilize the hearts of the army that were shaken, and shouted loudly to let the teams stabilize their positions.

And Sima Kouhuai, the former military department of the Youzhou Commando over there, was overjoyed when he saw the crowd charging in front of him, and he couldn't help but say to Yan Ju, the young general on the side:

"The time has come!"

Yan Rou frowned and asked:

"There are too many moth thieves coming down this time, do you want to wait until they run away before rushing."

Kou Huai Haomai said:

"You don't understand, the thicker the grass, the easier it is to cut!"

After speaking, Kou Huai blew the horn, and the four hundred knights under his command put down their horses, and the slow speed of the horses increased again, and in a short time they reached full speed.

Yu Ban in the front formation just watched those friendly troops fall in the collision of these iron horses, they didn't know that in the face of the charging cavalry, if they didn't form a formation, it would be meaningless to have courage.

But Yu Ban couldn't care about compassion anymore, because the Ruying Yellow Turban, which had been heavily defeated under the iron cavalry of the Han army, rolled back directly and began to impact his own military formation.

Yu Ban ordered loudly:

"Those who dare to rush into battle will be killed!"

Then the music of all factions will be loudly answered.

The five columns of thousand-man Changge armor began to stab the soldiers in front of the formation, and when one row was tired, it was the back row. This is the role of the military formation, which can be rotated back and forth to maintain the resistance ability of the entire military formation.

The barrage of stabbing shattered the last madness of the Ruying's rout, and reason finally returned to them. Realizing that they could not attack their allies, they began to retreat from the front and flanks of the formation, all the way to the rear. There, more than half of the Ruying Yellow Turbans were still in formation under the maintenance of experienced military officers.

Also maintaining the formation are Yingchuan Kui He Dali in the middle, and Runan Kui Cao Dayong. They personally pressed the military formation, so that the teams remained on the line.

Within the two formations, looking at more and more defeated soldiers crossing their own formations and returning to the rear formation, Cao Da said worriedly:

"I'm in trouble!"

Yes, in the chaos just now, not to mention one or two thousand Ruying Yellow Turbans were defeated, and not many people died, but the entire formation was disrupted, and the original formation was the general preparation, but now it has become the first to lose its combat effectiveness. Morale has hit rock bottom.

Xiao Chen, who was on the side, gritted his teeth, and suggested that Cao Dayong use it:

"Second brother, in this situation, it is impossible for Captain Yu in the front to withstand the impact from the opposite side. We need to let the two phalanxes of the Chinese army come forward and cover the two flanks of the front formation."

Cao Dayong's face was cloudy, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement, so he was going to lead his subordinates down.

But at this moment, two horsemen rushed from the front to deliver Yu Ban's military order.

"The troops are still maintaining their positions according to their original positions, and they are not allowed to move without any military orders."

Fortunately, the forbidden military order came in time, otherwise Xiao Chen's suggestion just now would have directly ended this battle in failure. It's not that Xiao Chen's strategy is bad, it's that it can't be implemented.

Just kidding, it's good to be able to stand in this situation now, there are rejection of horses, there are trenches, and everyone will be safe. But once you move, won't that front be scattered? When the time comes, the Han army seized the opportunity to rush, and all the events will be over.

As for what if there are no allies on Yu Ban's side to cover the two wings? Yu Ban said, thank you, you really don't need to worry about him.

Previously, after the Youzhou Assault Cavalry simply defeated the Ruying Yellow Turban, they drove them back to the forbidden front, but they were all stabbed back by the Yu Forbidden Army. They even used the corpses of friendly soldiers such as the Yellow Turban to set up a breastwork in front of the battle, maybe these corpse walls could save their lives when they were impacted.

Soon the impact came, and the front of the Youzhou Assault Cavalry had four hundred shock knights and three hundred Wuhuan cavalry shots and began to take advantage of the victory to assault.

They did not intend to charge from the front, but cut from an oblique point. Youzhou Assault is used to fighting, how many will be stupid to rush to the front of the formation? Don't you see the tree's porcupine-like front?

The Youzhou athletes of the Youzhou Assault are all equipped with horses as standard, ring-headed knives, and most of them have iron armor, and under the leadership of their respective generals, they crashed into the horns of Yu Ban's formation. Then pour it directly from the corner of the crash.

All this happened too fast, and Yu Ban didn't even have time to order a change of formation, and he was already chiseled in by the Youzhou Raiders. But at this time, it also shows how well the heavily armed Changge Euphorbia can withstand the impact of the cavalry when it forms a formation. When the Han cavalry rushed to the second row, Changge cut off the hooves of these war horses one after another, and then stabbed the fallen Han cavalry to death with a ring head knife.

The Han cavalry who fell behind saw that the robe in front of him had fallen off his horse, and he didn't dare to rush again, and as soon as the horse's head turned to the left, he bypassed the front formation, wanting to pour into the two yellow turban phalanxes in the middle formation.

And over there, the second wave of attacks by the Han army was also launched.

Sima Gaitong, the left of the Youzhou Assault Cavalry, also blew the horn of the charge after charging in the front. This array also has the highest flag, which is the black rat flag of the Gai clan, and there is also a cloud tower on the flag.

Gai Tong is a child of the Yuyang Gai family, and their family, like the Shanggu Kou family, was the home of the 28th Yuntai meritorious family back then, so there was a Yuntai high-rise mark, and then their family was a Xuanwu sitting on the Void Sun Mouse, so there was a black-faced rat flag.

The Gai family and the Kou family are different, their Yuyang Gai family is to establish a family with martial arts, and in Gai Tong's generation, they are even more brave champions of the three armies.

But it is also the conceited martial arts, and it is best for his people to fight with pig burst tactics, no matter what formation you are in front of, they will fight hard, so every battle is either a big victory or a big defeat, but no matter what the result is, every battle counts him as the highest battle loss.

As the head of the whole army, Gai Tong's left part has a very high combat power. Not only are the soldiers generally the children of Yuyang, but some of the soldiers' war horses are approved with vests, which can be said to be authentic armor horses.

It's just a pity that the Han army has not yet gathered the armor and cavalry to use it, and it is only purely as a means of protection for brave soldiers.

Gai Tong under the iron mask wielded an iron halberd and took the lead. On both sides of him were his family members, and these people firmly guarded the wings of his own Langjun. Then the Yuyang Assault Cavalry sprinted rapidly under the example of Gai Tong's family corps.

After the Yu Ban Department experienced the chaos just now, he made a small gain, and when he saw that there were cavalry troops rushing on the opposite side, he immediately lined up his line. The halberd armorers in the front row are complete iron men, and they arrive from the beginning

His feet were wrapped in iron armor, and he was covered in sweat when he walked a step.

Now they have formed a solid iron wall, the halberd in their hands has also been lowered, and the robes behind them are against their backs, giving them infinite strength and steadfastness.

But it's a pity that they encountered the Yuyang Assault Cavalry, and there were even more fierce armored cavalry soldiers who were not afraid of death to take the lead in the battle. The iron-clad horses ran into the front of the forbidden department like a rushing chariot, and then more knights followed.

Gai Tong, who was the first to rush into the battle, wantonly swung the iron halberd in his hand like an iron beast on his horse. Soon the iron halberd was bent, and Gai Tong pulled out another weighted iron bone and continued to smash it, each blow was the sound of gold and iron.

In this way, the armor soldiers of the forbidden department were struggling like this. They had never encountered such an enemy, those horses wrapped in their whole bodies, invulnerable, and they could only be cut down.

But when the Taishan army was struggling here, why weren't the officials of the Yuyang Tucai like this? They have never fought this kind of foot soldier whose whole body is wrapped in iron armor, and in the past, when they rushed to this extent, the enemy would have collapsed a long time ago, and they could still be so fierce? There are also the halberds in the hands of these ironclad soldiers, who often hook their armor, and if they don't pay attention, they are dragged into the formation and chopped to death with knives.

There were shouts of killing and wailing everywhere, and this was probably the worst blade battle of this battle.

This is the real elite soldier against elite soldier, no one lacks courage, no one lacks faith, no one lacks armor, that is, you smash me, I stab you, no tricks, and a little dull, but all the most peak duels.

The twist of the fight soon followed.

When Kou Huai took the front part of the Youzhou Raid to bypass the forbidden department and was about to pour the Ruying Yellow Turban into the middle formation, a big change occurred.

The 1,000 crossbow armorers of the Taishan Army, who had been arranged here for a long time, occupied from behind the yellow turban robe. Since the beginning of the war, these crossbowmen have been sitting on the ground, and they have been covered by the Yellow Turbans. Of course, once you sit down, the smell of coming from under the empty hems of your allies is even stronger.

At this moment, the Han cavalry finally came, and they immediately stood up under the command of the military officials, and fired their long-standing anger at the stunned Han cavalry.

A thousand crossbowmen sent out a continuous stream of arrows under the military order of Sima Zhang Da, the left commander of the left lieutenant department of the Taishan army. The rain of arrows was so dense and intense that it darkened a little. The arrows were like dark clouds that obscured the sun, passed through the air, and swayed on the four hundred cavalry and less than one hundred Wuhuan guerrers in the front of the Han army.

Time seemed to pause for a moment, and then the Han army roared one after another wails. The arrows pierced through the armor and pierced into the flesh, and the horses that sat down struggled in pain in the torrential rain, either retreating and throwing off the knights, or falling directly and smashing the knights to the ground.

In the cavalry group, Sima Kou Huai was embarrassed to avoid the arrows under the cover of the small shields of the soldiers. He is already confused, who will arrange shooters here? It's all hard bows and crossbows.

Kou Huai, who has fought for so many years, has never encountered this kind of war, but there is also an advantage to fighting too many bad wars, that is, he does not go up and does not get angry. If you can't fight, you will withdraw, and you will not fight for a long time.

So, Kou Huai was going to blow the horn and let his subordinates retreat. But when he picked it up, he realized that the horn on his waist had been broken by an arrow.

Kou Huai was so angry that he slammed his horn on the ground, and was about to speak, when he found that the knights behind him had begun to rush towards those Taishan crossbowmen.

It turned out that the Han cavalry behind took the behavior of the main general just now as an attack signal. Misjudgment is only one aspect, more importantly, how can their dignified Youzhou Turf be defeated by those mud-legged hands?

These Ruying yellow scarves in the middle of the battle are real mud legs, there are no straw sandals on the feet, and there is no hakama under the hem, just two pairs of big mud legs that are abruptly light. By the way, they are not wearing calf nose pants yet, and the brothers under their crotches have no cover.

But another charge could not save the defeat of the Upper Valley Riders. When they rushed forward and backward, they found that the crossbowmen were standing behind stakes that were stabbed diagonally, and their weapons could not reach them.

On the contrary, more and more Han horsemen rushed too fast and strung directly on the stakes, that is, those who were alert enough to dodge the U-turn, and because of inertia, they slipped in front of the Taishan Army's crossbowmen, and then were beheaded by those armor soldiers.

There was chaos everywhere, and the frightened horses were thrown aside

The master fled from the battlefield, and only a few knights managed to retreat.

And this change was discovered by Yu Ban in the front battle, he stood directly on the back of the soldiers, and shouted to the brothers who were struggling with their lives:

"The front of the enemy army has been defeated! Victory is in our hands! Qu Shuai is looking at us! Kill! Kill him, a murderous head, get out! Kill! Fight for a peaceful and prosperous world! Rush!"

The ironclad soldiers in the formation were all struggling with the enemy in front of them, and they couldn't see what was happening behind, and at this time, when they heard the captain say that they had won behind them, they suddenly rose with infinite strength, and they roared angrily:

"Rush!"

"Rush!"

This burst of roaring anger seemed to be shouted to the general of Taiping Dao, Zhang Chong listened.

At this time, Zhang Chong happened to cut off the head of Huang Wan, the commander of the Han army, and the carved face with his eyes closed seemed to tell him that he had done his best for the Han family.

At this time, Zhang Chong heard an angry roar from the northwest, which was the brothers calling out to him, asking:

"Did we win?"

So, Zhang Chong cut off the Han army's Daxu with a knife, and then responded to the roar with his vitality:

"Big win!"

The explosion thundered throughout the audience, and the people who fought were beaten, followed by shouts everywhere:

"Big win! I, Tian Jun, beg to kill the thief!"

"Big win! I'm Guan Yu to kill the thief!"

"Big win! I, Li Damu, want to kill the thief!"

"Big win! I'm going to kill the thief!"

……

The sound of killing one after another spread throughout the battlefield, and Ding Sheng, who was miles away behind him, heard it.

When Ding Sheng heard this victory, he suddenly knelt down in the direction of the battlefield and roared:

"Big win!"

It's just that after crying, he couldn't help but think of this eternal feat, I didn't participate in it, it's a pity!

……

Gai Tong, who was still fighting in the forbidden array, looked at the rising Yu Ban in shame, it was this person who made this momentum, fooled them Yuyang Tuqi, and fooled him Yuyang Gai.

Gai Tong pointed to a few followers on the side, and four arrows shot at Yu Ban, who was held high. Of the four arrows, three of them were bounced off by the armor, but one of them was stuck in Yu Ban's forehead.

Then Yu Ban fell down with a scream.

Hearing the screams of the captain, the fighting officers of the Central Guard Army panicked, but at this moment, the forbidden voice was heard again in the formation:

"Naigong is fine! Keep killing the thief, brothers! Kill the thief! Kill the thief!"

The low morale was once again high and reached its peak, and they shouted "Kill the thief" and did not shy away from the sword, exchanging lives with the Youzhou Raiders in front.

At this moment, Yuyang suddenly rode and couldn't stand it. They avoided and tried to retreat, but every step was a casualty, as if they were caught in a sea of death, and no matter how they struggled, they died.

Seeing the elite cavalry under his command fall one after another, Gai Tong was annoyed, what's the matter with this sect member, why haven't these reinforcements come yet?

Just when he was about to raise the flag to call for reinforcements, Gai Tong was dumbfounded, because he suddenly heard the exclusive sound of the Youzhou Raider's golden sound, and then looked back, the canopy of the sect member of the Donkey Day was slowly retreating.

Under the multicolored canopy over there, the sect member closed his eyes in despair.

How can this battle be lost? I still have three assault cavalry useless, yes, yes, yes, let the white horse general take his white horse to charge again. So, he turned around and looked back in the direction of Sima Gongsun Zan in the back, but there was no one else there! Looking at the direction of Sima Cui Jun on the right, they are also retreating.

Looking in the distance, the army of thieves and cavalry covered with dust and blood, led by several cavalry generals, was rushing towards him, although they looked tired, but they gave the sect members an invincible momentum.

At this moment, the sect members were really desperate.

He muttered in the direction of Kyoto to the west:

"I am not the general of the defeated army, all because those Hebei people misunderstood me. O country! Everyone in Hebei can be killed! Kill!"

After saying that, a mouthful of blood spat out, and Fuma withdrew.

At this time, the setting sun is replaced by a sunset, heralding the end of an era!

The losers are already on the run, and only the whole audience is left to shout

Make move:

"Big win!"
