When the news of the battle between the three states reached Luyang, five days had passed, and it was almost June, and the temperature had risen sharply.

Occasionally, scouts belonging to Yan Wei could be seen chasing and shooting on the field, and then reinforcements from both sides arrived, and they drove away.

The Wei military camp stationed more than 70 miles west of Nanwang County, the soldiers were marching out of the camp, and Lei Yunzhong was wearing Wei-style cloud-covered high-collared armor, which protected the neck from being shot by cold arrows.

He glanced at the faint clouds in the sky, and his general flag left the barracks with the Wei banner at this time, and soon the guards brought a mount covered with leather armor, and he turned over and galloped out of the gate.

Outside, a large number of foot shields, spearmen, and archers walked and gathered on the ground, and in the far direction, there were 1,500 light horsemen gathered in the three counties of Linzhou who were galloping, and the mighty army, totaling more than 38,000 people, if the army on the south bank had not been routed and fled, or surrendered, the number of people under his command could be even more.

However, as the governor of Linzhou, he also has a force of 300 ironclad cavalry, they wear iron helmets that cover their faces, the helmet is a single feather, short-sleeved iron armor, and the arms and legs are sewn together by iron armor and leather skirts.

The Wei State was located in the Central Plains, and there was an extreme shortage of war horses, and the only one with large-scale cavalry was the Great Wei Xionghu located in the Luyang Imperial Palace, Emperor Zhao Chuanting.

However, as the governor, the emperor still allocated him this heavy cavalry of 300 men to show his trust.

As the wartime governor, Lei Yunzhong naturally will not disappoint the emperor, since he appointed the military governor of Linzhou last year, he has been guarding against the Yan army building a big ship on the north bank of the Hunhe River.

In the early summer, the other party killed directly, and even if the warships and several battalions of soldiers and horses he deployed on the south bank could not block the other party in the Hunhe River, he could drag the Yan army for two days, but the day before yesterday, he received the battle report and then prepared to send troops to meet the strong enemy who might attack.

He was still stunned, and he knew that it was reasonable for the northerners to be good at land warfare and horse warfare, but water warfare could still be so powerful, and it was incredible to think about it.

You must know that the Hunhe River is not the kind of river that is more than ten zhang wide, and you can come by boat without half a stick of incense.

However, the military intelligence came too quickly, and he didn't have much time to think about this unreasonable situation, when receiving the military information, the Yan army across the Hunhe River was very aggressive, and after sweeping the fortifications laid by himself on the south bank of the Hunhe River, and after the checkpoints, he rushed directly towards Nanwang County, and the scout reported that the other party was only two thousand cavalry, plus eight hundred foot soldiers.

"Is this contempt for me?"

Lei Yunzhong rode on horseback, with 20,000 people in the middle of the battle, constantly sending and receiving messages and orders, remotely controlling the left and right wings a few miles away, and 10,000 front formations ten miles away, where there were his most powerful generals and generals who could command the big battle.

As the tassels flickered, he turned his gaze to the front, where two scouts came up from the side of the army and stopped aside. One of the scouts turned over and dismounted, and ran up quickly: "Dudu, the front line is only two miles away from the enemy, and there should be a contact battle at this time." ”

"Two thousand eight hundred...... Do you really dare to fight with my army of more than 30,000? Lei Yunzhong frowned, looked down at the note handed by the scout, and then urged the horse to rush up a grassy slope in front of him, and gave an order as he walked: "Order the left and right flanks to advance slowly, carry out encirclement, and assist the front formation to encircle and kill this Yan State army of soldiers and horses." ”

A cavalry of 2,000 people, plus 800 people, rushed over, and no matter how fierce it was, would it not be possible to let the 38,000-strong Linzhou army pull over together and wait for the battle? Even if you win, it's a shame to say it.

Soon, the trumpet sounded to carry the order, and the men and horses of 5,000 men on the left and right flanks ran through the mountains and mountains and ran through the fields to the front.

Just when the main force of Linzhou led by Lei Yunzhong rushed to the battlefield to block the enemy army moving south, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves had already galloped south on the field.

The terrain was flat, and the galloping cavalry moved like thunder in the dust and smoke, occasionally stopping to rest and recuperate, waiting for a team of 800 people to arrive in the rear, which was actually not 800 people, and there were more than 200 auxiliary soldiers to assist.

The wolf who rested his horse sat on the ground and drank water and fed the horses. On the mound on the side, Lu Bu, who was swallowing the chain armor with a beast face and a golden crown and long feathers on his head, was holding Fang Tian's halberd, looking at the approaching Wei army in the distance, and a look of disdain flashed in his eyes.

"I'll give you another half of incense!"

He turned back to the group of sons and daughters sitting beside the war horse, these were the cavalry he brought out from Ding'an's northern expedition to the south step by step, and he already regarded them as the cavalry of his own year.

"General rest assured, there are too many half-burnt incense!"

"You don't have to a word, rest a little longer, and you can cut a few more knives!"

In the continuous conversation, laughter and scolding among the wolf riders, they did not pay attention to the front of the Wei State that was slowly advancing in front, and at this time, the army on foot behind them finally caught up.

"Rest also!" Gao Shun was dressed in iron armor, and his face was majestic and he commanded the soldiers in the camp behind him, and then dragged his cloak to the mound, stood beside Lu Bu, and looked at the black line spreading in the distance, his eyes showed a little heat: "King Xia said, this is a war to destroy the country, Wen Hou and I have never destroyed a country, I feel a little excited when I think about it." ”

Glancing at Gao Shun, a smile gradually appeared on Lu Bu's face, he took off the water bag and took a sip, and then threw it to Gao Shun, "At that time, a certain family only said that they were invincible in the world. Now, do it all over again, and I'm going to fight for my name forever! ”

"Haha, this is the flying general that Shun saw in Bingzhou at the beginning!"

Gao Shun stuffed the water bag and handed it back with a smile, "That's still the old rule, by the way, Erlang will fall into battle, and Wenhou will break the enemy!" However, don't wait for Wen Yuan? ”

"There are still many battles ahead, he is now the commander of the state army, so stay in the back, and I also left him a thousand cavalry, haha!" Lu Bu glanced at the blue sky and white clouds, pulled out the Fang Tian painting halberd from the ground, and tilted his head: "Brother...... Come on! ”

The mighty figure turned and turned onto the horse, and below the mound, a group of wolf riders got up and got on their horses. Lu Bu pinched the horse's belly, and in the neighing of the flying smoke and red cloud horse, he looked back at the wolf rider with spirit and smoke, and shouted: "Let the soldiers and horses of the Central Plains Wei State see, what is a cavalry!" ”

Gao Shun rode down the mound, raised his palms in excitement, and then clenched his fists.

Armed with bows and crossbows and iron shields, the ironclad camp was almost armed to the teeth, dragging its heavy body, rising from the ground, quickly gathering into a dense array, and advancing forward.

The two armies are approaching, and there is no need for scouts.

Nearly a mile away, the armies of both sides have entered their respective fields of vision, a line of black pressure has spread, when quickly closing the distance, Gao Shun turned over and dismounted, patted on the horse's buttocks, and let the war horse gallop towards the rear, he took the spear handed by the guard, grabbed the iron shield in his hand, and walked behind the trapped camp.

"Ambition to fall into battle!" He roared at the top of his lungs.

Eight hundred people plus more than two hundred auxiliaries, turned their bows and arrows, looked at the enemy army in front of them, which was already less than fifty feet, and shouted in unison: "There is death and no life-"

In the next second, entering the land of arrows, the longbows with arrows raised to the sky one after another, and with a bang, eight hundred arrows swept across the sky and flew into the large array of 10,000 people coming in front of them, splashing a little blood at the same time.

"Royal!" Gao Shun's voice shouted.

The tight formation retracted the bow and flipped the shield, quickly fitted, and blocked the rain of arrows that came back from the shield one after another, and the sound of metal nails stabbing down outside the formation.

When the sound died down, Gao Shun broke the arrows inserted in the shield with a single shot, and 800 people formed a formation centered on him, and continued to advance towards the front of the Linzhou Wei army that stretched over.

The galloping wolf rider hovered on the left and right sides of the battlefield at this time, the spear in his hand hung on the side of the horse, and he took out the longbow with his backhand, they had too much experience with a neighbor like Wei that lacked war horses, as well as a dense and huge formation.

The general of the 10,000-person array on the opposite side issued an order with a solemn face, sending two battalions of 4,000 people to meet the array of hundreds of people on the opposite side, and at the same time, the soldiers on the left and right flanks pointed obliquely at the sky with bows in their hands to guard against the northland cavalry hovering on both sides.

At the moment when the camp and the two battalions of the Wei army were joined by 4,000 people, the main general of the Wei army also issued an order to force back the opponent's cavalry!

Whoosh –

Arrows were thrown into the sky from the wings of the main force, like flying locusts, skimming the sky.

Chen Jun, the general of Linzhou in the center of the military formation, had a bad premonition in his heart.

At the moment when he had a premonition, the Yan cavalry on both sides of the battlefield suddenly turned left and right in an arc, and the dense arrows fell on the open ground, and only a few wolf riders who were behind and did not seize the opportunity to turn were shot a few arrows and fell down.

Lu Bu glanced back at the cavalry that followed him, and raised his hand in the gallop, and in the middle of the battlefield, Gao Shun's trapping camp attacked with defense, advancing inch by inch, and the four thousand Wei soldiers who met it could not be stopped at all.

In a short time, the cold light spread among the two thousand wolf riders who had dodged on both sides of the battlefield, and the arrows reflecting the light of the sky were on the bowstring.

A voice shouted with all its might: "Shoot! ”

When the first string sounds in the human hand, the sound of the bowstring fluttering is followed by a large area. Dense black shadows flew into the sky from both sides and fell towards the main force of the Wei army.

"Kill!"

Gao Shun, who was about to approach the middle of the Wei army, saw the rain of arrows falling, and the eight hundred trapping camp suddenly lowered the iron shield, threw the spear in his hand, stabbed the surrounding Wei soldiers over, pulled out the blade, and followed the main general to pounce on the opponent's middle formation!

Half of the incense, the 10,000 troops in front of Linzhou were overthrown in an instant, and the beaten scattered fled, and among the corpses in one place, the defeated soldiers fled to the formation as if they were crazy.

……

In the rear, 20,000 troops were still marching.

"Why do you feel that your eyelids are always jumping ......" Lei Yunzhong, the governor of Linzhou, whispered to his cronies, and not far away, the neighing of war horses came.

The Law of Sighs –

He stopped talking, turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, a scout rode wildly, his face was full of surprise, he was too anxious in the run, he fell directly from the horse, and then he was helped over, he raised his head with difficulty, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his voice was extremely weak: "...... Qi Yu Dudu, the front line is defeated, General Chen was killed in the chaos, and the rout is rushing towards us! ”

"What?!" Lei Yunzhong almost shouted, causing the surrounding generals and soldiers to turn their heads to look at him, "Ten thousand people...... Chen Jun's house, how can the 10,000-strong army formation be easily defeated, and the people on both wings will be reinforced? ”。”

Under the information asymmetry, what he didn't know was that the battle he expected in his heart had been reversed, more than ten miles away, the two reinforcements of 5,000 people he sent had no time to encircle, and the galloping horses drove the rout soldiers who collapsed and fled, with monstrous killing intent, directly interspersed through the gap between the two soldiers and horses, and rushed straight to Lei Yunzhong's 20,000 middle formation.

Before he could recover from the huge amount of news, the defeated soldiers, cavalry, and Yan Guo's foot soldiers were sweeping towards this side in a crazy attitude, and then crashed together!

I didn't even have time to get the Flying Wings ready for it.

In the scorching summer, the Wei army camp outside Nanwang County, the recruited people escorted the grain to the front, and they noticed a trace of strangeness on the way, as they went further north, they gradually saw the figure of their own soldiers, and rushed away from the grain team in a panic, and then, there were more and more such figures.

I also saw these soldiers stop, form a team, assemble, and kill again to the north. However, in less than a cup of tea, the defeated soldiers spread like a tide, and the dense figures were running wildly, fleeing in embarrassment, and behind them were the galloping Northland cavalry on prancing horses.

Half an hour later, the Yan army besieged Nanwang County and captured it in half a day, and the entire Linzhou was caught in the terror of the army.

When Guan Yu and Zhang Liao received Su Chen's royal order, it was already early June, and the war had already burned half of Linzhou.

On this day, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses from three routes did not hesitate to penetrate the capital of Wei from three directions with the butcher's knife of the conqueror.

On the ninth day of the sixth month, the Youyan army and the Xiliang army on the middle road alternately interspersed, and defeated Wang Longen, the governor of Shangzhou who tried to block it, beheaded 7,000 people, captured more than 22,000 people, and surrendered the city of Yichang County, Shangzhou.

Almost at the same time, the Western Route Army captured Chendu County four days ago, and Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He led the Qingzhou soldiers all the way to Yangcheng, the first city in Fengzhou, which was adjacent to Chendu County.

The battle reports of various states, eight hundred miles were urgent, and snowflakes flew from fast horses to Luyang.

In the court, Emperor Zhao Chuanting of Wei was discussing with his ministers about the transfer of troops and generals, and the originally harmonious atmosphere was instantly broken.

This way of rapid blitzkrieg made the ministers who heard the report immediately in an uproar.

The whole court was shaken.
