The Han soldiers attacked the Yellow Turban camp outside the city, and the Yellow Turbans inside the city could not stand by. www.мdyzww.м Netмmм//Free e-book download//

The head of the city was lit with torches, and from a distance, the four walls of the city were lit up with flames, like a winding fiery snake surrounding the city.

Yesterday, the two people who were guessed to be Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang went to the South City Tower with the front and back of a group of Qu Shuai and Xiao Shuai, standing under the banners of General Tiangong and General Digong to watch the battle.

Xun Zhenyuan looked at him and said, "Zhen heard rumors that Zhang Jiao was ill a while ago. He was seriously ill and was bedridden. I don't know if this rumor is true or not?"

It was rumored that Zhang Jiao was seriously ill and could not get up, but Zhang Jiao was standing on the tower in front of him in yellow clothes with a cane. This obviously showed that the rumor was false, but why did Xun Zhen say "I don't know if the rumor is true or not"? But it is because soldiers never tire of deceit. Zhang Jiao is the leader of the Yellow Turbans, the main general of the army, and the biggest cohesive force of the Yellow Turbans is that the believers believe that Zhang Jiao is a great teacher and a messenger of Huang Yue. He can even cure diseases, and what else can make him sick of? If he cannot get up, the Yellow Turbans will be in chaos, so even if Zhang Jiao is seriously ill, he will not let the soldiers know. morale.

A staff member under Huangfu Song said, "I'll know if it's true or false after the war today."

This is flattering Huangfu Song, implying that today's battle will be won and Guangzong will be conquered.

Huangfu Song smiled slightly, and said, "I have ordered Zhang Jue to ask Zhang Jiao, but I have never seen his true face. No matter whether he is seriously ill or not, I will see his true face with my own eyes at the latest tomorrow morning." No need. The staff were flattering, and Huangfu Song was full of confidence in today's battle.

This is the difference between a wise man and a rude and ignorant man. Rough and ignorant people such as Niu Fu and Li Jue believed in witchcraft, and suggested Huangfu Song to use witchcraft to defeat the enemy, but Huangfu Song did not believe that at all, he only believed in his own ability. However, although Niu Fu and Li Jue were ignorant, they were really brave on the battlefield. With only two or three words left, they had already rushed out for more than a mile.

The Han army's position was about a few miles away from the Yellow Turban's position.

The Han soldiers had the infantry in the middle and the cavalry on the flanks, and the Yellow Turban soldiers were also in this formation, with the infantry in the middle and the cavalry on the left and right. Dong Min and Niu Fu were the left flank of the Han soldiers, and the Yellow Turbans were on the opposite side, so they naturally attacked the Yellow Turbans' right cavalry formation.

Seeing that the Han army cavalry attacked first, the Yellow Turban right-wing cavalry who had just formed an array panicked, and Commander Qu hurriedly ordered a cavalry team of about a few hundred people to rush into the battle, hoping to withstand them and buy some time for the main force. .

The cavalry of the Yellow Turbans came out late, and the speed of the horses was slow, and the cavalry of the Han army rushed over just after they had gone far.

Dong Min, Niu Fu, Hu Zhen, Duan Xun, Dong Yue, Xu Rong, etc., depending on the changes in the enemy's formation, occasionally called for orders. The three thousand armored cavalry adjusted their teams in the Mercedes-Benz according to the order, and gradually formed an impact in the shape of a trident. formation.

Hu Zhen and Dong Yue led a thousand cavalry in the middle, facing the hundreds of yellow turban cavalry. Dong Min and Duan Xun led the Qianqi on the left, Niu Fu and Xu Rong led the Qianqi to the right, marching to the left and right, galloping to both sides of the hundreds of Yellow Turban cavalrymen.

...and their tactical purpose is clear when their formation is formed.

The cavalrymen held torches, looking at them from a distance, the left, middle, and right were as distinct as Jingwei.

When the Han army looked up to the tower, Xun Zhen said with admiration: "A real elite cavalry, when charging, when galloping, you can still adjust the formation, move left and right, like an arm and a finger, gather and disperse, separate and combine, without hindrance. Stagnation. General, Dong and Niu Zhujun seem to want to use the thousand cavalry in the middle as the main force of the cavalry to break the Yellow Turban, and the two thousand cavalry on the left and right to assist them and prevent the cavalry of the main formation on the right flank of the Yellow Turban from attacking."

... Qin Hu Jing Cavalry was excited and fierce, galloping horses to meet the enemy, sharp spears and knives, galloping hoofs pounding the ground, the cavalry's screams of killing ripped through the night sky, shocking the heart. As soon as they got close, they would come into contact with the enemy. The brave cavalry threw their torches at the enemy cavalry and attacked with fire first.

Li Jue and Guo Si were under Hu Zhen's command. They were defeated by Guan Yu yesterday afternoon, and they were embarrassed by the public. After Niu Fu returned, he scolded them for a long time, thinking that they were embarrassing to his own family. He had regained his face, so he rushed to the front of Qianqi as if he didn't want to die. Although the Yellow Turban cavalry on the opposite side was already in front of him, he didn't slow down at all and slammed into it. Both of them used spears, relying on their thick and well-armored armor, ignoring the stabs of the Yellow Turban cavalry, dancing their spears, and using the power of galloping horses, they instantly killed four or five oncoming Yellow Turban knights, and there was blood on the spears. splash.

Immediately after the two of them, Hu Zhen and Dong Yue's troops rushed into the hundreds of Yellow Turban cavalry in an endless stream, and immediately people shouted horses neighing, weapons clashed, and various sounds were heard, blood and flesh flying, fighting into a group. .

There were few Yellow Turban cavalrymen, but there were many Han cavalrymen from Hu Zhen and Dong Yue's army. After enough speeding up, the Han cavalry was fast, and they were prepared to be prepared and recharged for a long time. The Han army was elite, and there were 2,000 friendly troops on both sides to help, and it was a night battle. The Yellow Turban cavalry was no match at all. It didn't take long for the hundreds of Yellow Turban knights to be torn apart by Hu Zhen and Dong Yue's subordinates. They were divided and surrounded into more than a dozen small pieces. Each small piece was surrounded by elite cavalry of Han soldiers who had an advantage in numbers. They were completely passively beaten. situation.

Qin Hu Jingqi, the word "Qin Hu", Hu refers to the Qiang people, Qin refers to some Han people in the border areas who have been living with the Qiang people for many years and gradually become Qiang. They grew up on horseback since childhood. When they were young, they followed their elders to hunt in the wild. To a certain extent, hunting and fighting were the same thing, so they were naturally proficient in various cavalry tactics, and had been battle-hardened. They were good at night battles, and they had an absolute numerical advantage. , so it is almost effortless to deal with the mere hundreds of Yellow Turban knights.

Jizhou is located in the northern country, and there are many good horses in Zhongshan, Changshan and other countries in the state. Although the Yellow Turban soldiers from these places are also good at riding and shooting, they are not like Dong Min and Niu Fu's Qin Hu elite cavalry. Ground, battle-hardened, experienced, and not good at night battles, so he quickly fell into a disadvantage.

Dong Min watched the battle from the flank, and saw that the hundreds of Yellow Turban cavalry were defeated and did not pay much attention to them, leaving Hu Zhen and Dong Yue to continue to kill them. array.

The messenger rushed to pass his orders among the thousands of elite cavalry, and left and right two thousand cavalry left the hundreds of yellow turban knights, and then rushed forward, rushing towards the main formation of the cavalry on the right flank of the yellow turbans.

Jizhou produces horses, so the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou have more cavalry than Yingchuan, Runan, and Dongjun, but although they are many, war horses are not easy to come by, but they are still not as good as the Han cavalry. Riding, five or six hundred cavalry were dispatched just now, and now there are still 1,500 cavalry. Seeing that Dong Min, Hu Zhen and others had overwhelmed his forwards so quickly, Qu Shuai, who led the team, panicked, and before he had time to regroup, he hurriedly issued a series of military orders, ordering all the troops to attack.

closure

In a hurry, and at night, the right flank of the Yellow Turban cavalry was in chaos.

Compared with the chaos of the Yellow Turban cavalry, Qin Hu Jingqi from Dong Min, Niu Fu and other ministries had just helped Dong Yue and Hu Zhen defeat a Yellow Turban cavalry. , still in order.

Xu Rong took the lead and led five hundred knights to break into the chaotic Yellow Turban right wing cavalry formation. The five hundred cavalry of his subordinates followed closely behind him, vying to advance, shouting and slamming.

... From the watchtower of the Han barracks in the distance, looking from Xunzhen's place, I saw that the entire western side of the battlefield was now completely engulfed in a melee. The most conspicuous of the military cavalry are the three general flags: Li Jue and Guo Si's flags galloped swiftly among the hundreds of yellow turban cavalry who were trapped, and they were all unstoppable. The flag of Xu Rong rushed like an electric switch, hit like a meteor, sprinted into the main formation on the right wing of the Yellow Turban, and marched forward bravely, and no one could stop it from the thousands of enemy cavalry.

Thinking of the stability of Xu Rong and other ministries before the war, Xun Zhen sighed unconsciously: "Quiet like a virgin, moving like a rabbit, Qin Hu Jing rides. That's right. Xu Rong is also right in the front line."

... Xu Rong was the first to be brave, Dong Min, Niu Fu, and Duan Xun's army advanced in four, fighting fiercely for half an hour. First, Hu Zhen and Dong Yue annihilated the hundreds of Yellow Turban cavalry who had entered the battle. , defeated the Yellow Turban right-wing cavalry.

In the fire at night, corpses were scattered all over the field, and wounded horses neighed.

The cavalry on the right flank of the Yellow Turbans fled. Dong Min divided hundreds of cavalry to chase the fleeing enemy. The rest of the cavalry all turned to the Yellow Turbans' Chinese infantry main line, but instead of attacking immediately, they temporarily rested their horses and waited for Huangfu Song's order.

As early as when Hu Zhen and Dong Yue were besieging the hundreds of Yellow Turban cavalry, Zhang Liang on the city couldn't sit still. Wonderful, he urgently ordered the infantry troops to stand by, and mobilized a group of shield and crossbowmen to the right to prevent Dong Min, Niu Fu and others from attacking the formation again. At the same time, he mobilized the cavalry on the left wing and ordered them to attack, but not Qin. Hu Jingqi instead ordered them to attack the right flank of the Han soldiers.

The left flank of the Yellow Turbans has been defeated and can no longer be used. Now the main formation of the Yellow Turbans is like a man with a broken arm, so if we want to regain the situation, we can only retaliate with one another, disrupting the right flank of the Han soldiers and breaking the Han soldiers. One arm, in this way, there is a chance to win.

However, Huangfu Song was older than the military, and would never give the Yellow Turbans this chance.

Long before Zhang Liang mobilized his cavalry on his left wing, he had already passed down a military order, ordering the Sanhe Knights on the right wing to attack, taking advantage of the victory and going straight ahead, hoping to destroy the left wing of the Yellow Turbans as well. If the left flank of the Yellow Turbans is also broken, then the infantry positions of the Yellow Turbans will be exposed to the eyes of the Han soldiers. At that time, if the cavalry on the left and right will be used to attack it, and the infantry will be used in the middle, there will be no doubt of victory.

It's just a pity that the Sanhe Knights are not as elite as Qin Hu Jingqi, and the number is far more than Qin Hu Jingqi. It is also in the night, and the mobilization is not so fast, so until Zhang Liang's order was passed to the Yellow Turban's left wing cavalry, Sanhe Knights Just came out.

The slowness of the battle gave the Yellow Turbans an opportunity to prepare the left cavalry. At the same time, the cavalry of the Yellow Turbans was exactly the opposite of that of the Han soldiers, but the elites were all on their left flank. The Zhangba Zuobao was here. In this way, Sanhe The battle between the knights and the left-wing cavalry of the Yellow Turbans was an uphill battle.

However, it was said that in the Yellow Turban left wing cavalry formation, upon hearing Zhang Liang's order, the Zhang Ba Zuo Leopard immediately shouted, raised the lance, wore double armor, mounted on horses, and led more than a hundred cavalry to be the first to raise the flag and rush to the field. , and met the Mikawa Knights who were rushing.

He was really brave, wielding a long lance, and as soon as he met, he shot down several people with ease, and without stopping, he went deep into the formation of the Han army's right-wing cavalry. Selected carefully, they are dedicated to defeating the enemy when they are fighting hard. They are also very brave and follow behind his horses. Like a sharp arrow from the string.

Just as Xu Rong was brisk when he crashed into the Yellow Turban right-wing cavalry, this cavalry crashed into the Han army's right-wing cavalry almost without hindrance.

...The Han army officers who were watching the battle in front of them galloped back to the camp and made an urgent report: "The thieves are riding Zhangba, the left leopard, and the hundred cavalry to counter our army's right flank, and its momentum is very sharp."

It is late at night. Although Huangfu Song is high above the watchtower, some of the soldiers who are attacking have special people who raise more torches to illuminate it. After all, it is not daytime, so he cannot see the entire battlefield clearly, so he set up a lot of spectators on the front line. so that they can know the specific situation of the front line to every battlefield and every battle situation in a timely manner.

As soon as they defeated the Yellow Turbans' right-wing cavalry, the Yellow Turbans' left-wing cavalry responded.

Xun Zhen looked at the battlefield on the right flank of the Han army from afar, and said, "I said how after the robbers' left flank was defeated, there were still thieves and cavalry who dared to take the initiative to fight back against our army, but it turned out to be Zhangba's left leopard. General, this thief is fierce and not a fierce general. You can't kill him."

Huangfu Song said in his heart, "I didn't know that the bandit army put this zhangba left leopard on the left wing. If I had known earlier, I should have put Dong Min and Niu Fu on the right side of our army." But now it's too late to regret it. Moreover, nothing is perfect on the battlefield, and Huangfu Song is not a prophet, so how could he know that this Zhangba left leopard would be on the right flank of the Yellow Turban cavalry? Besides, Zhangba Zuobao is nothing but a brave man, and his manpower is sometimes poor. Even if he is brave and good at fighting, wouldn’t he be as brave as the overlord of Western Chu who ended up killing himself in the Wujiang River after being surrounded?

Huangfu Songyin ordered: "I ordered the cavalry on the right wing to use the elite generals to encircle it, first kill the leopard on the left, and then attack the cavalry formation on the left wing of the thieves."

The officer who was summoned received the order, rode his horse out of the camp, and ran to the commander of the cavalry general on the right wing.

At this moment, one person came down to the tower under the leadership of a Chinese soldier.

The personal soldier said loudly: "Report to the general, this person asks to see you."

Huangfu Song looked down and saw the person who came in high crown and black clothes. He was a scribe who did not know each other, and said, "Who is it?"

The man pressed his sword on his back and said loudly, "Report to the general, I am in Jianyong, and I ask Liu Bei to see the general."

Xun Zhen heard the person calling himself Jian Yong~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and reported the name of Liu Bei, and also looked down.

"Liu Bei? Why did he send you to see me?"

"The thief's left-wing cavalry is fierce, and my troops, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, ask for orders to fight and kill that zhangbazuo leopard!"

Huangfu Song smiled and said: "Ambition is commendable, courage is commendable! However, the mere 8-foot-8 left leopard is as brave as a husband, and our army's right-wing cavalry has thousands of soldiers, enough to behead him, but Xuande and the others are not required to go out." Guan Zhang Although Yong, However, Huangfu Song only tried Guan Yu's foot combat yesterday, and he did not ask him about his cavalry ability, and Liu Bei's army was full of foot soldiers.

Liu Bei sent Jian Yong over to ask for battle just to show his "eagerness to ask for battle". Since Huangfu Song refused, Jian Yong stopped begging and said goodbye and returned to the battle. Xun Zhen watched him leave, turned her head back, and sat on the table again, admiring Liu Bei's move, and thought, "If Liu Bei really gives him a chance, he will show it." fearful meaning.

... The Zhang Ba Zuo Leopard is only the bravery of a man, but Huangfu Song said just now that "the mere Zhang Ba Zuo Leopard has the courage of a man, and thousands of cavalry on the right wing can kill him as much as he can" This sentence is wrong.
