Chapter 313: Dead in battle
When the flying saloon of the Chinese army was sent to Sun Meng, the captain of the Tun cavalry, the son of a famous man was cruising on the left flank of the army with his proud 800 horsemen.
Shisun Meng is not an ordinary person, to be precise, his father Shi Sunrui is not an ordinary person.
The Shisun family is from Jingzhao's Fufeng, and it can't talk about much of a county. However, Shisun Rui's reputation is very high, his young family tradition, Boda knows everything, and he has long been known as a Fufeng priest.
Although he was reluctant to become an official, he made up for Lang Guan early in his son Sun Meng, and his later son Sun Meng was appreciated by Liu Hong because of his literary rhetoric, and he went all the way up to the Tun cavalry captain who was more than 2,000 stones, and chased after his father.
When the book was delivered, and the Chinese army ordered it to return to the back road, Shisun Meng couldn't help but sneer, and said to the left and right:
"There are two thousand cavalry in Youzhou in the back, and you still want us to go back to help? I watched the previous battle of Xingyang, and they were defeated. Now I can't even stop a moth thief."
After a wave of ridicule, Shisun Meng blew the horn and began to gather troops.
At this time, the twenty soldiers behind him all took out the conch and began to blow the horn of gathering troops, and the nearby cavalry who heard this horn rushed to Shisun Meng.
A moment later, Shisun Meng picked up his eight hundred horsemen and began to move around the right side to the rear of the army.
There, a bloody battle was already raging.
More than 1,000 Menglong elite soldiers, led by a cavalry general carrying a yellow flag, interspersed with chiseling Youzhou Assault Cavalry.
The people and horses were howling, exhaling like mist, and it was the Qingzhou Qu Shuai who sacrificed his grandson in front of the thousand troops.
At this time, he held high the apricot yellow banner, roaring wildly, his voice was like thunder, and he roared:
"Revenge!"
Behind him, thousands of people chanted:
"Revenge!"
The sacrificial grandson yelled:
"Revenge for the Taiping martyrs who have died in my years of death!"
The remnants shouted:
"Revenge!"
Worship the grandson and roar again:
"Revenge for my Li Shu, who has been whipped for a hundred years!"
Thousands of yellow turban horsemen, angry to the top, yelling:
"Revenge!"
The sacrificial grandson galloped on his horse, less than five hundred steps away from the Youzhou Raid, and roared:
"For me for a thousand years, the world has been humiliated and humiliated, and revenge!"
At this moment, thousands of people were holding their guns and shouting:
"Revenge~Revenge~Ah~"
"Revenge!"
Qianjun's eyes cracked his teeth, and the horse in his hand seemed to be about to pierce the sky.
When the Youzhou Turquoise cavalry on the opposite side charged them, they had already started a counter-charge.
They also erupted in a burst of shouting and killing, and then one of the four assault horses directly stepped forward to intercept the sacrifice of their grandson.
The one who led the army was Gongsun Zhan, the captain of the White Horse.
Just because he led his troops to go first in the Battle of Xingyang, he fell into the reputation of the Youzhou Raiders, and all the generals said that he would rely on this battle to pick up the honor that the Youzhou Raiders had lost.
So, Gongsun Chan began to hedge with five hundred horsemen.
Over there, the deputy marshal had already ordered the former military captain Cui Jun, the left military captain Gai Tong, and the right military captain Lu Jun to ride 1,200 horses directly to the right side, preparing to directly flank the opposite waist when Gongsun Chan and Qingzhou Yellow Turban attacked.
The Youzhou Assault Cavalry is worthy of tactical skill, and directly cooperates to play a left-hand combination attack.
On the opposite side, the sacrificial grandson who rushed to the front had already seen the tactical intentions of the opposite side, a typical border army style of fighting. But at this time, the priest Sun has ignored all this.
He just wanted to stick in now, rush over, and disrupt the march on the opposite side.
More than 100 steps, the cavalry charged, and it was there in the blink of an eye.
After that, the sect members behind the formation saw that the apricot yellow banner did not stop after it collided with Gongsun Zhan's cavalry, and it was directly indomitable.
In the blink of an eye, the apricot yellow banner on the opposite side rushed in dozens of steps, and it was really a thousand troops, and people turned over on their backs.
The sect member gritted his teeth and immediately ordered the other three to speed up, preparing to flank the waist of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Cavalry.
At this time, a tsunami erupted on the opposite side:
"Qu Shuai is brave!"
Then the opposing Qianjun directly drove the horse crazy, and then began to scatter in all directions.
Seeing this scene, the sect members shouted loudly and shouted that it was not good, but it was too late.
These Qingzhou Yellow Turbans didn't think of hedging against them at all, but now they began to break into pieces, and directly a team of three or five people began to infiltrate the marching ranks in the rear along the cracks of the battlefield.
And the dispatch of the sect member is like a giant hammer hitting a mosquito in this scene, which is extremely ridiculous.
As the cavalry of the Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou began to infiltrate the marching columns of the Han army in the rear.
The Han soldiers shouted in amazement, telling the troops to stop marching and line up on the spot.
Because the danger of continuing the march is too high. At this time, the soldiers were not wearing armor, not even the bowstring, once they were disturbed by a small number of cavalry, they could even set off a big rout.
As a result, one after another military orders sounded:
"Stop, line up."
"Stop, stand up for a while."
The army was suddenly stopped, and they had to wear armor and stomach from the cart, and the thousands of Han troops marching in the rear military columns were in a mess. At this time, they did not collapse, and they could continue to carry out military orders, and they were really worthy of the elite of the Han army.
Such is the unexpectedness of war.
The Han army was calculated in the temple of the old handsome Lu Zhi, and the victory was in hand. But he didn't expect that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban would gather all the cavalry and risk pursuit. The second did not expect that the opposite side directly infiltrated with stragglers to disrupt the retreat and march of the Han army.
At this moment, thousands of people in the rear of the Han army were forced to stop the army, and the remaining central and front sequences naturally could not sit idly by, so the three armies all stopped, and they all began to wear armor and stomach to line up one after another, waiting for the order of the Chinese army.
In this way, Lu Zhi's previous temple calculation was defeated without a fight and went bankrupt.
The 15,000-strong Han army had to rely on the sword in hand to win the battle after all.
The Qingzhou Yellow Turban cavalry was scattered between the formations, drilling where there were cracks, and crashing when they saw the unformed teams, which made the Han army more and more chaotic.
The chaos soon spread to Lu Zhi of the Chinese army.
Looking at the thieves raging and his own sluggishness and confusion, Lu Zhi said angrily:
"What the hell is this Youzhou Turf for? Can't stop these thieves? Don't I dare to cut off one or two ribbons?"
Lu Zhi was furious, and the staff in the car all persuaded him, and he said:
"Ming Gong takes a break from the wrath of the thunder. These thieves couldn't make any waves, and now the formations were closing one after another, and they had begun to compress the space for the enemy to ride. In addition, the Tun Cavalry and Yue Cavalry have also arrived, and they will soon be able to strangle them."
Lu Zhi sighed, quite regretful:
"I should have pulled the distance a little further, it's too close."
In fact, everyone present knew that if you don't get closer, the opposite side will not be fished out by the Han army.
"Well, since this battle is inevitable, let's fight. The frozen ground here should be the burial place of these moth thieves."
So, Lu Zhinu was angry and ordered:
"Order the soldiers of Wei Jun, Zhao and Changshan to deploy on the right flank, and when the enemy infantry catches up, they will intercept first. Order the Youzhou Raiders to destroy the thieves here, and cooperate with the soldiers of the three counties to attack the thief infantry army. Ordered Captain Shotsheng to be placed in the Chinese army, and ordered Captain Wei Duan to lead 2,000 officers from the northwest to the left of the Wei soldiers to build a position together."
After receiving this military order, seven soldiers outside the car immediately received the order to deliver the message.
The total number of cavalry troops of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou is about 1,600 people, all of whom are horse thieves who have crisscrossed the Qingzhou region in the past, and they are brave and not afraid of death.
At this time, most of them had already broken away from the ranks, and they began to attack the rear of the Han army. This is also their strong point.
Cavalry attacks are not their forte.
But there was still a cavalry with a number of about 500 horsemen who were following the sacrifice of the sun and continuing to attack. They are all from Jinan, and they are the only cavalry regiment in the Qingzhou Yellow Turban that can charge into battle.
At this time, in the first round of collision with Gongsun Zhan's white horse riding department, dozens of Qingzhou Yellow Turban Riders also fell off their horses. But they also broke through the blockade of the White Horse Cavalry.
cavalry tactics,
There are only two things.
One is speed, and the other is courage.
At this time, the speed and courage of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban had reached the pinnacle, and after killing Gongsun Zhan's cavalry, they directly killed the sect members behind.
The sect member also stood under his canopy, looking at the galloping horses in front of him, and the warriors swayed bravely, swaying in their hearts.
And at this time, he suddenly saw a thief army killing him, and his murderous aura was so fierce that even the clouds in the sky were broken.
The sect members subconsciously wanted to go around and avoid it.
But he suddenly saw the eyes of the soldiers behind him, what kind of disdain they were.
The sect member's entire neck was red with direct shame, and he directly waved his horsewhip in shame and roared:
"Bump into it, let them see who's the hero!"
Hero?
The officials behind the sect member were disdainful for a while, but they were already about to charge, just waiting for the sect member's words.
As a result, the remaining three hundred Youzhou Turquoise Cavalry Central Military Headquarters began to raise the speed of their horses, preparing to intercept this group of fish that slipped through the net.
The armor of the sacrificial grandson was full of blood, and the horse in his hand had already broken three roots.
At this time, all he had left was a ring-headed knife in his hand, and at the speed of the roaring horse, it bloomed in the throat of the enemy.
The sacrificial grandson has no extra thoughts, and the ring head knife in his hand determines the life and death of the people under the knife, and also determines the life of their five hundred horsemen.
He roared:
"Where are Xu He and Zhang Rao?"
The rider on the side of the sacrifice is Zhang Tai, the great man of Jinan, who has been protecting the sacrifice of his grandson.
At this moment, when he heard the priest Sun ask, he stepped on the stirrup with one foot, and the person stood up and looked back.
At first, the voices were full of voices, far away and unclear, and Zhang Tai couldn't see it clearly.
But soon, a yellow, no, surging yellow tide came into view. It was the countless yellow clothes and yellow flags in the heaven and earth, and it was the mountains and tsunamis that shouted the good fortune of the world.
Zhang Tai burst into tears with excitement and said to the sacrifice grandson:
"Qu Shuai, they're coming, just behind."
The sacrificial grandson laughed, killed another person, and then pointed a knife at a general not far away, and said heroically:
"Kill that winger, and we'll go back to battle."
After speaking, the sacrificial sun keenly flashed the arrow shot from the opposite side.
The one who was lost was the Han general on the other side.
Zhang Tai and the others heard the order of sacrificing their grandson, and shouted loudly:
"Kill this wingman."
After speaking, the sacrificial grandson first took more than fifty horsemen and went straight to the Han general to kill.
The cry shook the sky, and in the middle of the battle, the big Han Beizhonglang put Lu Zhi on his helmet and armor, and got off the ox cart neatly.
He felt the howling of the north wind, and couldn't help but wrap the big dan on his body tightly.
Seeing the opportunity, he immediately approved another overcoat for Lu Zhi, but Lu Zhi refused.
Lu Zhi asked Hu General Xian Yuyin:
"How's the war going?"
Xian Yuyin had just gathered the military reports of the various battalions, and immediately replied:
"There's a lot going on. The enemy poured into our ranks, about a thousand people, and each battalion had already captured more than 400 ranks, and the rest were all defeated, but they were also being chased and killed by our cavalry, and I believe that they will be annihilated soon."
Seeing that Lu Zhi was still listening, Xian Yuyin began to say something slightly bad:
"But there is one thief, about 500 men, and they are still fighting. However, the deputy marshal has already come to report that the enemy has been surrounded, and annihilation is in the palm of his hand."
"Also, the enemy's infantry has caught up, and at a cursory glance, there are 40,000."
At this time, Lu Zhi's eyes widened and he scolded:
"Where do you learn the official tone, the most important thing is to say it first, can you figure out the severity?"
Then ask directly:
"How far away is the enemy, what formation, and has the battle begun?"
Xian Yuyin was taught this lesson, and he didn't dare to use what his brother taught him as an official technique to get Lu Zhi in the lake, and replied directly:
"The thief has already been connected with the rear army, so it is probably less than two miles. But neither army launched a general offensive, so it was still a small ***."
Lu Zhi shook his head, turned his head and ordered a soldier, and ordered:
"You go to the deputy marshal, and after ordering him to annihilate the thief cavalry, prepare the Youzhou Assault Cavalry, and attack the opposing infantry first. At this time, their cavalry was lost, and it was their Youzhou Assault Cavalry that played a long role in the impact."
The soldiers got the arrows and were about to get on their horses.
Not far away, the sound of horses' hooves urged, and a sentry horse came in a panic.
Before the horse stopped, the knight had already rolled the saddle and fell off the horse, and said to Lu Zhi in a panic:
"The marshal, the deputy marshal is dead."
Lu Zhi's hands trembled, his eyes were round, and he asked:
"Didn't you just say that the thief is in the back hand? How did he die? Say!"
The whistle horse immediately said:
"The thief broke through the White Horse Captain's defense line and attacked directly towards the deputy marshal Daxu. The deputy marshal fought bravely and led the brothers to fight back. But unfortunately he was beheaded by the thieves."
With that, the whistle horse was whining and crying.
Lu Zhi was so angry that he lost his horsewhip and said hatefully:
"Don't you know how to avoid it first? He is handsome, not a barbarian, and he is a leader in learning."
As soon as these words came out, the sentry horse couldn't help but shudder, obviously thinking of the eyes of the soldiers who looked at the sect members before.
Lu Zhi asked again:
"Then who is in charge of the Youzhou Raid now, and what is the thief general now?"
The whistle horse hurriedly said:
"Now presiding over the former army Cui Sima. As for the thief, after beheading the lieutenant commander, he withdrew to the rear thief formation with his subordinates."
Lu Zhi is angry, and the famous Youzhou Raider makes people come and go. But he held back, and took a staff and gave it to the sentry horse, commanding:
"Since Cui Sima has presided over it, you will give him my scepter and let him control the Youzhou Raid."
The sentry horse respectfully took it, and was about to leave, when Lu Zhi asked again:
"What's your name?"
The sentry horse was excited, fell to his knees, and reported:
"Humble duty, Yan Rou."
"Very good, Yan Rou, after you sent the scepter, you ordered Cui Sima to assemble the Youzhou Raider. Then wait for my military order not to act on your own."
"Whoa!"
Subsequently, this sentry horse named Yan Rou rode back to the army with a scepter, and went to Cui Jun to give orders.
The sixth year of light and the twelfth day of November.
The Qingzhou Yellow Turban made a final review in front of the Han Army Front.
Saisun had already returned to the Great Array with the cavalry and began to take over and support the command of the whole army.
But less than half of the 1,500 riders at the time of departure came back. The death of hundreds of people was in exchange for this decisive battle.
At this time, on this open land, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans lined up into five huge phalanxes.
The two huge phalanxes at the front are Zhang Rao's Pingyuan County Yellow Turban Main Force and Xu He's Le'an Country Yellow Turban Main Force. As for the last three formations, they are all Jinan Yellow Turban Department.
Before, Xu He had already led his subordinates to make a tentative attack on the Han army in front.
They attacked the Cadet Captain Headquarters of the Fifth Division of the Northern Army. Its big and long iron armor is like a forest like a wall, like a great wall of flesh and blood.
This time of temptation, Xu He and the others knew how strong this army was.
At this time, the sun rises to its highest, and the red light shines on the frozen ground, giving the humans below the warmest moment of the day.
The officials in the front row of the Han army, looking at the huge phalanx opposite, suddenly looked a little foggy, and some veteran soldiers immediately understood what was going on.
This is the consequence of not eating.
At this time, they realized that they had not eaten a grain of food since they left the camp in the morning. This physical condition obviously affects morale.
Soon a soldier went to report back to the rear, and then asked his men to start eating as quickly as possible. Eat whatever you have in your bag.
But what can you eat in a hurry? It made the soldiers panic.
Suddenly, a herd of elk, no small size, rushed across the open land.
Sun Meng, the lieutenant of the Tun cavalry school who was arranged on the left flank of the Han army, turned his mind and hurriedly raised his horn and began to urge. After that, the rest
The friendly forces in the place found out that the Natun cavalry had acted without order.
Shisun Meng took the tun cavalry and began to throw at the group of elk, chasing.
Both sides looked at Shisun Meng's actions in confusion, not knowing what they meant? I saw that Shisun Meng had driven the elk herd to the upper right corner of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.
It turned out that those elk panicked and were about to flee against Xu Hebu of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban.
At this moment, Xu He's alarm bell rang loudly.
In the big array, Xu He shouted and ordered:
"The shooters are throwing at the elk, and they must not be allowed to crash into the formation."
Soon, Xu and the Great Array began to project arrows from the rain, covering the elk herd.
The elk were hit by this arrow, most of them were nailed to the frozen ground, and a few rushed after it, rushing towards Xu He's big array.
At this time, there was no need for Xu He to order, and the military officials in front of the Le'an Yellow Turban Formation had already ordered:
"Lance."
Qingzhou Yellow Turban is a formation of troops learned from the Taishan Yellow Turban, not to mention how the soul is, this formula is the same.
This step lance is all lengthened to resist the spear, and as soon as it is put down at this time, the whole is a hedgehog that is released.
Animals are not wise, but they also have spirits.
When the elk saw the spikes, they shuffled around their wings.
But this circumambulation is revealing the Han army behind it.
In this way, on the high platform of the Chinese army in the distance, the sacrificial grandson saw such a scene.
On the horizon of Mohu Lake, a herd of elk is being slaughtered.
On the gray-black frozen soil, they fell to the ground like patches of color. But suddenly, a torrent pumped out from the cracks of these color blocks, and then like a red arrow, it was inserted into the upper right corner of the Le'an Yellow Turban Array.
Then, the upper right corner of the Yellow Turban Array began to crumble. And the red arrows scattered into countless red dots and scattered in all directions.
And directly in front of the sacrifice to the grandson, that is, opposite the Le'an Yellow Turban, the step military camp of the Northern Army also began to press over.
In this way, the war broke out without the preparation of the Han army and the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans.
