On January 15, 274 AD, Chen Qian led 120,000 Jin troops across the Mainland Ze. On the north bank of Mainland Ze and thirty miles away, the 110,000 Han troops led by Jiang Wei were confronted by Jiang Wei.

After resting for three days on the north bank of the mainland, on the 18th, Chen Qian left 30,000 soldiers to guard the camp with the military and civilians. All 120,000 soldiers headed north and camped again ten miles away from Jiang Wei's army.

Among the 120,000 combat soldiers, there were only 20,000 cavalrymen. Although they were all light cavalry, they were all elite soldiers with combat experience in Jingzhou and Yangzhou. Among the remaining 100,000 infantrymen, there were 40,000 spearmen, 40,000 sword and shield soldiers, and 20,000 crossbow soldiers who were trained according to the solid gun formation before Ji Han.

Among Jiang Wei's 110,000 cavalrymen, there were 50,000 of them, including 5,000 heavy cavalry equipped with plate armor. And unlike Guan Yi, a weak chicken who has no tactical talent and prefers the simpler the troops in war, the simpler the troops, the better. The general's favorite is that there are many types of troops: anyway, he can command it.

Therefore, among the remaining 60,000 soldiers, there were only 20,000 spearmen, but they were all replaced with plate armor. In addition, there were 3,000 chariot soldiers, 5,000 generals, 5,000 tiger infantry (gun shield soldiers), 7,000 Zhuge crossbow soldiers, 10,000 archers, and 5,000 Yuanyang formation soldiers and short axe soldiers (ethnic minorities from the cold and cold areas in the southwest).

On the 19th, Chen Qian wrote a letter to Jiang Wei, requesting a decisive battle. Jiang Wei approved: The decisive battle tomorrow!

On the 20th, the weather was beautiful. In the cold winter, the common fog disappeared without a trace on this day, and it was sunny early in the morning. So a total of 230,000 soldiers from both sides came out together.

With 230,000 people, plus 70,000 war horses, the coverage of the battlefield was extremely large. Therefore, in order to better control the situation on the battlefield, Jiang Wei did not arrive at the front line in person on this day, but sat at the head of Yang's County so that he could climb high and look far and better overlook the overall situation.

The one who acted as a guard and apprentice behind him was Guan Yi's eldest son Guan Fu and his companion Beigong Chun.

Yes, Guan Yi also knew that he could only fight stupid wars and stupid wars, and had no beauty at all. Therefore, when his son went to the battlefield, it would be better to send him to Jiang Wei to study.

"Sir Uncle, the army has been deployed!"

"Well, Tannu, Sanlang, have you ever seen the distribution of our army?"

"Hehe, General, I only know how to kill with a knife, and I don't understand anything else."

"Hey, Sanlang, you are gifted. After this battle, I will ask Wen Ciqian to teach you personally. You are fine in terms of force, but if you can learn to marching and set up formations, you will sooner or later become another general of my great man. Well, these are all later stories, what about you, Tannu?"

"Son, let me give you a brief explanation." Guan Fu bowed and cleared his throat: "The Yang County where our army stationed is located is broken and low, so it cannot be defended. Since the uncle led his army to the city, most of our army's main forces have camped outside the city. In this decisive battle, our army has no place to rely on on the defense line. Of course, this is in line with the concept of "uncle's defense for decades."

"Yeah, keep talking."

"Here, today our army will fight, and on the front is of course the twenty hollow gun formations formed by 20,000 spearmen and 10,000 archers. Behind them are seven thousand Zhuge crossbow soldiers and three thousand chariot soldiers. Behind them are five thousand thrust generals and five thousand short axe soldiers."

"Well, I see, I understand. What about my intention?"

"My uncle's intention was speculated by his own sergeant. Uncle wanted to defend the front with his spearmen. If things didn't go as expected, there would be crossbow soldiers relying on the chariot formation to organize two lines of defense. As for the generals and short axe soldiers, these troops had extremely excellent personal martial arts, but the battlefield discipline was far inferior to other troops. Therefore, these 10,000 people were reserves and assault forces. Before there was no obvious opportunity on the battlefield, or before a certain unit of our army was in great danger, this unit would not be put into use."

"Hahaha, Guan Zifeng gave birth to a good son! Hey, my son has been in power too early. After the battle, he should have been asked to go to Wuzhangyuan Academy to study. Well, what you said just now is correct. So, what are the Yuanyang Formation Soldiers and Tiger Infantry Army arranged by the side and back of the spearman formation?"

"Well, Sun Er thought that this was prepared to prevent the large gap between our army's pikes, chariots, crossbows and gun formations. After all, our army's infantry had only 60,000, which was much less than the enemy. It is very likely that the enemy's infantry would surround our infantry in an arc."

"Shan, my Han Dynasty has someone to succeed!" After saying this, Jiang Wei stood up, and the personal guard behind him immediately began to beat the drum.

One side and two sides... Countless sides, the war drums pounded the earth, Jiang Wei firmly stretched out his right hand and waved it vigorously at the city!

In an instant, the 110,000 Han soldiers who had completed the formation under the city turned their heads and cheered at their head coach!

"The great man is victorious!"

"The great man will win!"

As the Zhangba Han flag with black letters on red background and the 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2

The waved right hand suddenly pushed forward in the air: the whole army advances!

"Wow~~!!!"

"Thousand Victories! Thousand Victories!"

On the other side of the battlefield, the white background and gold edges, the Jin-character flag with a high name of 800 feet high is like the Jin-character general Chen-character flag with a high name of 200 feet high name of 200 feet high name of 200 feet high.

The 120,000 Jin soldiers wearing white battle robes looked at the red ocean opposite with a serious expression and nervous look back at their handsome flags.

"Report to the General, our army has finished its formation!"

In order to control the entire venue and let all the soldiers fighting see him. Chen Qian's command center was set up on a mound that was temporarily built last night. Under the rushing flag, a figure with white hair and beard sat on a war horse. Next to this figure was the son of Wang Chang, a famous minister of Cao Wei, from the Wang family of Taiyuan. The general of Jin State, Wang Hun and Wang Xuanchong.

Taiyuan has fallen into the hands of Ji Han. The one left by the Wang clan in Taiyuan now has expressed surrender to Ji Han. To be honest, the Taiyuan Wang clan in the Luoyang court was really a bit embarrassing at this time.

However, as a former subordinate of Cao Shuang, Wang Hun was able to be promoted quickly after Cao Shuang was destroyed by Sima Yiyi. In addition to family factors, the excellence of both civil and military affairs was also the reason why the Sima family could not bear to give up.

Since the Sima family re-activated him, he successively guarded Yangzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Jingzhou, and made considerable achievements in governing the people and leading the army. So this time, Chen Qian did not send him to the front line, but asked him to stay in the rear and assisted himself in command.

In Jiang Wei's Han army, the proportion of cavalry was extremely high. Therefore, he naturally chose to use spearmen to carry the middle road and encircle the two wings of the cavalry. In the 120,000 Jin army, there were only 20,000 cavalry, and there was also a need to consider when the opponent's heavy cavalry would come out, so Chen Qian arranged a relatively conservative round formation this time.

Of course, there are 40,000 spearmen in the front part. Since the flank defense of the solid spearmen formation has always been very weak, 40,000 swords and shield soldiers are naturally distributed to both sides and the rear. In this way, 80,000 people formed a circle.

In this circle, the first circle is 20,000 archers, responsible for providing long-range output. The second circle is of course 20,000 cavalry - this is the general reserve team, and the dangers will be added wherever there are dangers.

On the hill, seeing the huge red waves not far away begin to roll, and then slowly surging towards him, Wang Hun's face was a little nervous, but in the face of the messenger's report, he responded quickly: Beat the drum! Ask the flag!

"Here! Beat the drum, answer the flag!"

As the Jin flag and Chen flag were waving, thousands of flags with white background and gold edges began to respond. Under the leadership of their respective generals, the 120,000 people opened their throats and roared at the top of their lungs.

"The Great Jin Dynasty will win!"

"Thousand Victories! Thousand Victories!"

"Send the order, the whole army will advance!"

"Wow~~!"

The drum beats accelerated, and the soldiers' pace also began to accelerate. As the spearmen on both sides quickly approached, countless copper whistles sounded from the gun arrays on both sides. Then the captains of their respective gun arrays shouted a sound of waiting for their subordinates for a long time.

"Punch to the right!"

"Wow~~!"
