——

At noon the next day, after the entire army had had a full meal, more than 40,000 men and horses left the camp in an instant, and set up a battle in front of the camp.

Liu Pi's camp and the Han army camp are both in the west of the city. Liu Pi's camp was backed by the city, sitting in the east and facing the west, while the Han army camp faced the city, sitting in the west and facing the east. Therefore, these days, the Han army always chose to go out to the camp in the afternoon to invite battles, and today is no exception. The afternoon sun is in the west. If they fight in the morning, then the Han soldiers will face the sun, which is not conducive to fighting. In the afternoon, there is no such concern.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun divided the army into two parts.

Huangfu Song led more than 20,000 people from his headquarters to face Liu Pi's barracks, and they were the main attacking team today. Zhu Jun led nearly 20,000 people from the headquarters to the south of Huangfu's Song Department, facing the Xihua City Gate. After the war officially started, the Yellow Turbans in the city would definitely not sit back and watch Liu Pi be attacked. them. Huangfu Song further divided the more than 20,000 people from the headquarters into two parts, 10,000 people, lined up in the front, used to attack and battle, and the remaining more than 10,000 people lined up in the back, used as a reserve team. You cannot go to war without a reserve team, and you have to keep a troop on hand in case you need it.

Xun Zhenbu has repeatedly made military exploits. He did not go to the battlefield when he fought a few days ago because Huangfu Song wanted to use his troops at the most critical time. Now is the most critical time. The troops were drawn by Huangfu Song among the ten thousand people who were in the battle, and their position was in the middle of the ten thousand people. In order to prevent Liu Pi from attacking the camp while they were lining up, Huangfu Song also sent more than a thousand Sanhe knights to line up, ready to fight.

Xun Zhen entered Liu Pi's camp last night and went all the way to the outside of his tent, killing more than 50 people and robbing his horse, which made Liu Pi very angry. The drum sounded loudly, and they saw them all out of their nests and lined up outside the camp. Knowing that the Han army was going to fight him decisively, they did not show weakness. .

There are more than 40,000 Han soldiers, more than 30,000 people from Liu Pi's army, and more than 50,000 people lined up on this land, dusty and obscuring the sky. The war drums and horns continued, and the clouds in the sky seemed to have been swept away by the murderous aura of these tens of thousands of people, but although the clouds had been swept away, the cloudless sky seemed to be more gloomy than before, as if it was a war. The eve of the unfolding.

Xun Zhen took more than a thousand people from the headquarters to stand in the middle of the ten thousand people in the front, looking up at the sky and thinking: "The weather is good today, it is a good day for battle." A few months ago, they had a decisive battle with Bo Cai in the south of Wuyang City, Yingchuan, and it was also a big scene where tens of thousands of people fought. Therefore, although the grand scene of tens of thousands of people lining up in front of him made his blood boil, he still remained calm.

The front formation of Huangfu Song's department is still a square formation. At this time, if you look down from the sky, you can see that the whole of the ten thousand people is a large square, and there are many small squares inside. One after another, the small square arrays are neatly arranged to form a large square array. Each small square is a song, the Han army military system, one song is about 200 people, every 200 people is a small square, divided into two columns, each column has a hundred people. Every five small squares form a horizontal row, and every ten small squares form a column. In other words, that is to say, there are twenty columns in the entire front, with five hundred people in each column.

The five small squares in the first row are composed of the five most elite units under Huangfu Song. Xun Zhen's more than 1,000 people are in the middle of the five small squares in the first row. The third. According to the scale of the song, a small square array of six columns was formed, five infantry arrays and one cavalry array. Liu Deng's Song of Trapped Array is at the forefront, Jiang Qin's song is second, Xu Zhong and Chen Bao's two songs are third and fourth, Xun Zhen's and Xun Cheng's Hu Shi's song is together, ranked fifth, and last It is Xin Ai's knightly song.

Ten thousand people formed the formation, either fast or slow, with the drums of the central army and the command of the flag of Huangfu Song, the officers of the five front-most divisions in the formation sometimes adjusted the position of their headquarters, or went out a little bit. , or a little closer inward, sometimes moving forward and backward in small steps with the sound of flags and drums. The Yellow Turban soldiers on the opposite side also formed a corresponding phalanx under the command of Liu Pi and Wu Ba.

The two armies formed. Quiet on the battlefield.

Xun Zhen was in front of the Han army formation, and he could see the flags fluttering in the formation formed by the Yellow Turbans on the opposite side. A general of the Yellow Turbans led a few cavalry soldiers to gallop past the formation, galloping and raising their swords. talking loudly. From a distance, he couldn't hear what the general was saying, but it was expected that he was either passing Liu Pi's military orders or encouraging the morale of the Yellow Turban soldiers.

Huangfu Song also dispatched generals and colonels, who galloped from the central army to the front of the formation, marched from left to right, checked the formation of each small square, and conveyed Huangfu Song's order: "General Huangfu's order: The banner is in the central army. Today, we will fight the thieves decisively, the thieves' camp will not be broken, and the banner will not move!"

The Han soldiers on the front line turned their heads and looked back. Huangfu Song's central army was between 10,000 people in the front and more than 10,000 in the back. His general flag was here, standing high in the afternoon sun, fluttering in the wind. The Chinese army is all dressed in white robes, white hair, Su Jia, Su Yu, and they look like tea. The Han soldiers of the two armies in the front and rear often wear red clothes, which are like fire. The enemies on the opposite side were not uniform, but all had yellow scarves on their foreheads. Colors are distinct.

After Huangfu Song's order was completed, the general and the school galloped back to the Central Army.

Xun Zhen said in his heart, "It's time for the sound of the drum to start the war." Ling said: "Let's go forward: After the drum sound, don't rush to charge, take your weapons and move forward at a normal speed, save up your strength, and when the enemy returns When you have a hundred paces, shout and charge!"

Beginning with the song by Xun Cheng, one **** after another passed forward, straight to the front of Liu Deng's Song.

When the two armies are at war, the most stressful time is not after the war, but before the war. After the war, he fell into a melee fight, and he was not afraid of anything when his eyes were red, but the silence before the war was very torturous. If there are only a thousand or so of each other, it’s okay to say that now the enemy and us are tens of thousands of people. In such a large-scale battle, the soldiers standing in the front row are very stressful. Looking at the past, the opposite is full of persistent and shining weapons. The enemy, as if to face them with one's own strength, it is impossible to guarantee that he will not think wildly. If he is a timid person, only this chilling and depressing scene will frighten his legs to go weak, trembling, No fighting spirit.

The soldiers in Liu Deng's song are all selected warriors from Xun Zhen's department. They have fought many battles with Xun Zhen, but they are not afraid of the scene in front of them.

The 10,000 people in the front had finished their formation, and fifty small square formations stood still on the ground. After a brief pause, drums came from the central army. The drum sound was gentle at first, the rhythm was slower, and the pauses between drums were longer, but then the pauses became shorter and shorter, the rhythm became faster, and the drums were excited. This is the military order that Huangfu Song ordered the front to fight. If you look back at this time, you can still see the flags of Huangfu Song Zhongjun swaying left and right, front and back. Xun Zhen was familiar with the flag and drums, so she didn't have to look back at the flag, she already understood Huangfu Song's order by the sound of the drums, and immediately drew the sword in her hand, and ordered, "Go ahead!"

The officers of the five small phalanxes at the front of the 10,000-strong phalanx issued the same orders at almost the same time.

Five small square formations and a thousand Han soldiers in the first row began to march forward. The five small squares in the second column followed, followed by the third, fourth, and fifth columns. Xun Zhen was in the small square formation in the fifth column, with Yuan Zhongqing, Zuo Bohou, Dian Wei, Chen Dao and others, and moved forward together with the soldiers of Xun Cheng's song. Behind it is the sixth song of Xin Ai's knightly song. At this time, there is no need to mount a horse. The cavalry leads the horse to walk. It stands to reason that the cavalry should be listed in the first row, but Huangfu Song's 10,000-strong phalanx is mainly composed of infantry. If Xin Ai is in the front, then his cavalry will be separated from the large team, which is not conducive to the overall battle. Therefore, Xun Zhen left them behind as his reserve team.

Huangfu Song's war drum was not only an order for the infantry, but also for the cavalry. More than a thousand Sanhe knights, who had been arranged outside the formation to cover the formation of the infantry, took the lead in launching an attack on Liu Pi's troops with the sound of the drum. Liu Pi's troops also had some cavalry, about five hundred cavalry, who also rushed out of the formation and greeted them. One thousand five or six hundred war horses, with four or five thousand horse legs, galloped across the field like rolling thunder, causing the foot soldiers to feel tremors. The smoke and dust that had just been put out not long ago suddenly rose up again.

The cavalry was fast, and soon the enemy and us rushed together and fell into a melee. The field of cavalry is to the north of the Thousands. Xun Zhen noticed that some of the soldiers in front of the headquarters were affected by their battles, and turned his head away. He hurriedly ordered: "All of them look forward! Those who look after, cut! Those who look to the left and right, cut!" Before the enemy, the battle was imminent, The most taboo is for the soldiers to look left and right, and even more to avoid the soldiers to look back. His military order was strictly implemented, and the officers of Zhuqu immediately restrained the soldiers of Benqu after receiving the order.

The Yellow Turban formation on the opposite side was also moving forward following Liu Pi's order. The two armies are getting closer and closer, and the enemy and our soldiers in the front row can gradually see the appearance of the other side. I only feel that the enemy of the other side looks hideous, but I don't realize that they also look so hideous~www.wuxiaspot. com~ They stared at each other covetously. At first, they still had time to pay attention to the enemies on the left and right, but gradually, as the distance got closer, they only saw the appearance of the enemy they were facing and the weapons in their hands.

Xun Zhen calculated the distance from the Yellow Turban formation, and said silently in her heart: "Two hundred paces,..., one hundred and fifty paces,..., one hundred and thirty paces." He ordered, "Bow!" Xu Zhongqu said. Zhang Shi raised his crossbow and shot it. Arrows were also fired from other small square formations of the Han army, and arrows were also fired from enemy formations. The arrows fell like rain, the soldiers in the rear columns were still good, and the enemy and our soldiers in the front columns suffered casualties. Xun Zhen ignored the arrows constantly fired by the enemy, and continued to meditate in her heart, "One hundred and twenty steps, ... one hundred steps!", the commander said, "Raise your spear and halberd, run, charge!" The shield that came to parry the enemy's arrows, took the long iron halberd handed over by the personal soldiers, shouted, faced the arrow rain, and rushed forward to the enemy with the two hundred fallen soldiers of this song.

The other small square formations in the first column of the Han army also began to charge forward, followed by the second column, the third column, and so on. The phalanx of the Yellow Turban soldiers on the opposite side also rushed towards the Han soldiers one by one. Tens of thousands of people ran and trampled, causing dust on the battlefield, and the wind and dust raised by the cavalry at the battle to the north converged and covered the sky.

The ground was shaking, the enemy and I were shouting, and the two soldiers who were charging forward collided and stood up fighting. m
