- The autumn wind is rustling, and the sky is about to turn bright.
The east gate of Yangping Pass opened wide, and tens of thousands of Yanjun soldiers lined up neatly, marching with solid steps, and drove out of Guancheng in an orderly manner.
The flag covers the sky, and the swords and guns are like a forest.
Under the sky, 50,000 infantry and cavalry soldiers formed large and small military formations that stretched for miles, and marched towards the Xie Valley.
The huge red flag with the character "Yan" on it stands high and is clearly visible to all the officers and soldiers of the three armies.
In front of the red flag, Yan Liang is wearing black armor and holding a green dragon sword. His eyes are calm and majestic like a mountain.
On the left and right, Zhou Cang and Hu Che'er were guarding the two sides, and fierce generals such as Gan Ning, Huang Zhong, Pang De, and Zhang Jia all came out of the formation, leading the soldiers and horses of the battalions to advance in a mighty manner.
Not long after the troops marched, a black wave rose slowly from the horizon ahead.
The sky full of flags, the fierce forest of swords, halberds and spears, and the countless soldiers of Cao Cao slowly came into Yan Liang's eyes.
The two armies advanced slowly, and stopped advancing in a tacit understanding at a distance of a few miles.
Yan Liang raised his eyes to observe the formation of Cao's army. Although he could not see clearly, his keen perception allowed him to realize that although the formation of Cao's army was still neat, the morale was not very high.
An obvious sign is that a large part of the densely packed flags are tilted.
If the flag is tilted, it means that the soldiers are not strong enough and their fighting spirit is not high.
"The report from the scout is indeed good. Cao Cao's army is short of food and grass. The soldiers don't even have enough to eat. It's strange that they can have the energy to fight. Cao Cao, do you really think that your soldiers are all iron men?" A sneer appeared at the corner of Yan Liang's mouth.
"Lord, look quickly, Cao Cao's army is behind the formation. There is dust rising. It seems that Cao Cao has hidden his cavalry behind." Fazheng pointed to the enemy's formation from afar.
Without Fa Zheng¡¯s reminder, Yan Liang would have already observed it.
To know. Yan Liang was once the top cavalryman in Hebei. In the history of his fortune over the years, the cavalry also played an important role.
Yan Liang knew very well that Cao Cao's tactics were nothing more than to use light cavalry to detour and attack his own army's flanks and rear when the two armies were in a stalemate. Throughout the ages, the tactics of light cavalry have been basically the same.
"Have Ziyue's troops been dispatched?" Yan Liang asked.
Fazheng stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Ma Ziyue's five thousand soldiers and horses. They set out from Dingjun Mountain last night. They must have crossed the Mianshui River by now, and they will probably be able to act according to the plan soon."
Yan Liang nodded slightly: "Then let's wait for a while and let Cao Cao attack. Just concentrate on guarding his cavalry."
After the order was passed, the military formations, large and small, began to change.
The military formation, which was originally spearheaded by spearmen, quickly became spearheaded by large shields. The military formations moved closer to each other to minimize the gap between them.
At the same time, thousands of Rong company crossbowmen also appeared on both wings of the military formation. Waiting in line.
To crack down on light cavalry plagiarism, the repeating crossbow is undoubtedly the most effective weapon.
Yan Liang¡¯s intention is also very simple. They used shieldmen and gunners to form an iron wall to block Cao Jun's frontal attack, and used continuous crossbowmen and a small number of light cavalry to protect the rear. If Cao Jun dared to use cavalry to bypass the rear, Yan Liang would use his continuous crossbows to fire ten arrows into the sky. The rain of arrows turned his cavalry into a hornet's nest.
A few miles away, Cao Cao could clearly see the changes in Yan's army's formation.
"Obviously, Yan Liang is not so arrogant as to be arrogant. He is well prepared for today's battle.
Cao Cao vaguely felt that this battle was not as smooth as he imagined.
"It's just that it's hard to get off the tiger, and the posture is stretched out. If you retreat at this time, what's the point of face?"
"Yan Thief, let's compete."
Having made up his mind, Cao Cao pointed his horse whip forward and shouted: "Send the order, the front army attacks."
The rumble of war drums was beating, and the flags of the Chinese army were dancing like the wind.
At the front army, 20,000 Cao Jun infantry shouted slogans and began to advance towards the enemy's position.
The first row is composed of sword and shield men, followed closely by the spearmen in the back row, and then the elite crossbowmen.
The 20,000-strong infantry army roared forward with steps that made the earth tremble.
"Front troops, prepare to meet the enemy!" Yan Liang shouted loudly.
The order was passed down layer by layer, and soon reached the generals of the front army.
Gan Ning, Huang Zhong and others each gave orders. The big shield-hands in the front row hurriedly raised their shields, while the spearmen lowered their blades pointing to the sky, densely packed like a forest, pointing at the enemies coming from the opposite side.
In the back row, three thousand crossbowmen have their arrows ready to fly away at any time.Four hundred steps
Three hundred steps
Two hundred steps
The two armies of each other have entered the range of the crossbows.
"Shoot the arrows" The generals on both sides gave the order to shoot the arrows almost at the same time.
The buzzing sound was like a flock of birds flapping their wings and flying together. Thousands of arrows rose into the sky at the same time, intertwining into a dragnet in mid-air, swooping on each other like locusts.
Screams and clattering sounds were heard in the blink of an eye.
Yan¡¯s army stood still, and Cao¡¯s army of 20,000 soldiers continued to advance despite the rain of arrows.
The crossbow arrows shot past, and in a short time they were within the range of the bows and arrows.
The rain of arrows became more and more dense. Although both sides had swordsmen and shieldmen to open the way, the dense arrows could still pass through the gaps from time to time, shooting down the unlucky soldiers to the ground.
In a moment, Cao Jun was approaching fifty steps.
The sound of war drums suddenly became louder, as fast as a mountain falling apart.
"All-Army Assault" Le Jin, who was in charge of the charge, shouted loudly.
The 20,000 Cao troops who were advancing steadily suddenly accelerated like a torrent that broke a bank, carrying dust all over the sky, and crashed into Yan Jun's formation wall in a moment.
The moment the two armies collided, the sound of explosion shook the earth and the earth was shaken. The blood and broken weapons in the center splashed into the air like a backward waterfall.
Tens of thousands of soldiers from the two armies started fighting on the bank of Mian River.
Yan Liang's eyes were stern, silently watching the fierce battle ahead. As calm as he was, he did not intend to throw his army into it all at once, because he knew that Cao Cao's trump card had not been used yet.
A few hundred steps away, Cao Cao was equally calm on the surface, but he was quite anxious inside.
Yan Liang is too calm, it is this calmness. This made Cao Cao very uneasy.
The fighting in front of the formation has been going on for a long time. Although the two armies were bleeding like rivers, there was still no winner.
It can be seen that Yan Liang still did not use all his troops. Cao Cao couldn't help himself.
"Send an order to Cao Xiu, ordering his cavalry to dispatch and bypass the enemy's flanks!" Cao Cao raised his whip and shouted.
A loud horn sounded, and not long after, the five thousand cavalry hidden behind Cao Jun galloped out, revealing their ferocious features. Bypassing the battlefield between the two armies, they headed towards Yan Jun's left flank.
Yan Liang, who was watching the battle in the formation, looked at the dust in the sky from a distance. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"The thief Cao really lost his temper and sent orders to Zhu Huan. If there are enemy cavalry approaching, he will just shoot him indiscriminately." Yan Liang shouted loudly.
Orders were passed down layer by layer. Zhu Huanjun on the left wing. The nerves of thousands of soldiers immediately became tense and they were always on alert.
The dust in the sky first moved north, and then turned south, sweeping diagonally toward Zhu Huan's flank.
Even though Cao Xiu was using the cavalry, he keenly observed the changes in the enemy's formation while he was running, even though he was using the light cavalry. After running back and forth on Yan Jun's flank for several times, Yan Jun was already affected by his formation. He immediately turned his head and ordered two thousand cavalry to hit the enemy.
The iron hooves were rolling, carrying wild dust all over the sky, and headed straight for Yan Jun's flank.
The enemy cavalry came very fast. In just a moment, they had already reached more than fifty steps.
"As expected, my lord, huh, you came just in time." Zhu Huan sneered, raised his gun and shouted: "Liannushou, shoot me hard."
Amidst the loud shouts, the flag was waved, and the sword and shield wielders in the front row suddenly broke into formation, hiding more than a thousand crossbowmen behind them, and quickly moved forward.
A few seconds later, a buzzing sound suddenly sounded like lightning and thunder, and in an instant, more than 10,000 arrows roared out.
More than two thousand Cao Jun's cavalry rushed towards them. They didn't even have time to react before they were swept up by the overwhelming "heavy rain".
There were screams and neighs, and people fell on their backs. In the tragedy, five to six hundred cavalrymen of Cao's army were shot by random arrows, and they fell to the ground one after another.
The rest of the surviving cavalry were already so frightened that if they dared to attack again, they immediately turned their horses and retreated.
Cao Xiu, who had led the rear army to wait and see, did not want Yan Liang to be prepared, so he waited to call them with a repeating crossbow.
Seeing that his cavalry had lost five to six hundred in just one round of arrows, Cao Xiu was completely shocked and did not dare to attack again. He quickly sent the remaining troops to meet the defeated army and retreated away.
Hundreds of steps away, Cao Cao witnessed Cao Xiu's defeat with his own eyes. The original anxiety in his heart had now turned into disappointment.
"This handsome thief has actually been guarding my cavalry for a long time. It's hateful." Cao Cao gritted his teeth with hatred. His confidence was hit hard, and he became a little angry at this time.
In a rage, Cao Cao made a painful decision.?, intending to use the entire army to fight to the death with Yan Liang.
Since the two armies were of equal strength, Cao Cao thought that as long as the two armies fell into a full-scale melee, his cavalry could avoid being shot by repeated crossbows and take advantage of the situation to find opportunities for combat.
With his mind made up, Cao Cao was about to issue the order for a general attack.
At this critical moment, someone in the army suddenly shouted: "Oh no, there's a fire over there in the camp!"
With such a scream, all the troops turned their heads to look, and sure enough they saw a raging fire in the direction of the entrance of the inclined valley, and thick black smoke rising into the sky.
"No, Yan Jun must have robbed our camp!" Liu Ye screamed.
Cao Cao¡¯s face, which was not very confident at first, suddenly changed and was filled with astonishment.
At this time, Cao Cao just woke up and wondered why Yan Fa issued that letter of challenge and why he took the initiative to fight decisively.
It turns out that Yan Liang wanted to take advantage of his army's unstable morale to fight, but it was just a superficial illusion. The real purpose was to rob his camp while the two armies were fighting.
Insidious, insidious.
Cao Cao couldn't help but think of Guo Huai's advice, but he didn't want to think that if he was told by Guo Huai, he would have no face to see Guo Huai.
Just when Cao Cao was feeling ashamed, tens of thousands of Cao Cao's soldiers had already seen the billowing smoke beacon in the direction of the camp.
On the battlefield, what could be more damaging to confidence than this? Cao Jun, who was already lacking in fighting spirit, was on the verge of moral collapse in the blink of an eye.
A few hundred steps away, Yan Liang, standing with his sword across the sword, sneered: "Xiaozhi, this plan of yours is enough to make our Prime Minister Cao drink a pot of wine."
Fa Zheng smiled and said nothing.
According to Fazheng's strategy, when Yan Liang led the main force to fight Cao Cao, Ma Dai secretly led 5,000 soldiers and horses from Dingjun Mountain to the north, sneaked across the Mian River, and went around to the east of the Xie Valley to surprise Cao Cao's camp.
In fact, Li Dian is still defending Cao's camp at this moment, and Ma Dai's five thousand soldiers and horses have not been able to break through the enemy camp.
However, Yan Liang's order to Ma Dai was that there was no need to break through Cao's camp. He only needed to use fire to burn the antlers outside Cao's camp, and use the fire to disintegrate the morale of Cao's army on the battlefield.
¡°Obviously, Ma Dai did it.
Looking at the thick smoke in the direction of the inclined valley, Yan Liang suddenly raised his murderous intention, slowly pointed his long knife forward, and shouted loudly: "The whole army attacks, and the Cao thieves are defeated."
Lieutenant, you are unlucky. I wanted to take a rest last night, but unexpectedly, the enteritis happened again and the stones happened again. The hospital gave me an intravenous drip all night. This chapter was written just after I got home without even eating. I am afraid I can only do this in the past two days. It's two o'clock. The captain has to spend time going to the hospital to have the stone removed. Please be considerate, brothers. - Didn't finish reading?
