Zhang Dan's troops on the left wing went all out as soon as they came up, and attacked with three fierce tactics like a mountain roar and a tsunami.
The original military system of Zhang Dan's department was still the old military system of the Taishan Army in the past. The main body was composed of flower troops, which focused on assault. They were good at using small groups of elites to make detours during the attack.
For example, when Guo Liang is attacked by the front, a small number of troops from the front will pretend to shout, and the troops from the two camps will attack from the left and right, passing through the gap between Liu's soldiers on the opposite side. After waiting for the troops on the two wings to cross in,
Later, Guo Liang led the frontal troops to attack immediately.
Guo Liang's department is worthy of being one of the oldest battalion leaders of the Taishan Army. Guo Liang himself is worthy of being called by Zhang Chong as the most brain-intensive general in the army. At this moment, relying on the skillful tactics of small groups, Liu on the opposite side is
The soldiers retreated one after another.
After all, the Liu family of Huayin did not build their family by force, and the men under their command were just ordinary people. When faced with Guo Liang's men with the same strength, they immediately fled.
In fact, it doesn't matter how weak they are, even if the main force of the Han army encountered Guo Liang's tribe, it would be no different.
Because Guo Liang is an old battalion leader, many of the grassroots officers below him are elites who have been fighting hard for three or four years, and they are heavily trained in the army. Therefore, these generals who lead the team are very good at tactical command. A force of ten people can not only attack and cooperate,
They can spread out in groups and fight on their own. It can be said that they can be recovered even if they are scattered.
For example, when fighting against Liu's soldiers in Jiyin, some of them were just minor problems. For example, if the line was slightly loose, they would be immediately caught by these generals, and then they would decisively take advantage of the opportunity to attack. What is even more valuable is that being able to charge fiercely, but
He is not reluctant to fight, he will stabilize his position as soon as there is a breakthrough, and then continue to advance the next time. This kind of interactive attack in stages and stages is Guo Liang's specialty tactic.
So it was time for Liu's soldiers to meet Guo Liang's troops. The friendly Yang's soldiers over there were thrown into chaos by fifty and a half armored knights, and they were beaten back by a group of soldiers again.
And when it was even more devastating, they were originally suppressing Guan Yu's left wing on the inside, but now they were also cooperating with the bandits outside.
The battle has been fought so far, and the officers of Liu's and Yang's soldiers have already known that they have lost. Now there are only two ways in front of them, one is to continue to hold on and wait for reinforcements from behind, and the other is to wait for reinforcements from behind, and the other is to wait for the whole army to collapse before it collapses.
, they took their husband and retreated first.
Is this a multiple-choice question? It's never been the case. Their husband's life is a hundred times more precious than these moth thieves. How can they block their lives here, let alone expect reinforcements to come from behind? They themselves don't believe it.
As a result, the military officers, faced with the successive defeats ahead, did not step forward but turned around and went to find their respective husbands.
In fact, Liu Song, the husband of Liu's soldiers, was more decisive and more aware of opportunities than the military officials below them. After seeing that he was being attacked by Taishan troops from behind, he didn't think much about it. After planting the flag in place, he
He quietly moved to the edge with a few soldiers, then skipped the formation and ran directly back to the Han army's formation.
Liu Song never thought about using himself as a bait to save Huang Wan's life from the beginning. You are a minister, isn't my father the same? Who is nobler than the other!
This is Liu Song's concept: everyone above oneself is equal, and there is a clear ladder below oneself.
Liu Song hurriedly withdrew the Han army's armor with his armored soldiers. He expected that Huang Wan would not come back to take him. But unfortunately, he was wrong. As soon as Liu Song returned to the camp, Huang Wan ordered him to strip off his armor. Liu Song
A few of the soldiers resisted, but their thighs were cut off by the halberdiers, and the blood stained the loess in front of the chariot. Liu Song himself also had his ears and nose cut off, and was hung on the military flag.
The reason why Huang Wan was so ruthless was that he did not care about the affection between the so-called public minister's children, because he had the intention of sacrificing his life to serve the country.
He knew very well that if the Han army lost this battle, the effective strength of the capital would be gone. The strength of the capital was actually the strength of the imperial power. Once the capital was gone, the authority of the Han Dynasty would become nothing more than duckweed.
Unlike those rotten Confucian scholars who keep talking about benevolence and justice, Huang Wan is more practical. The Han Dynasty can make the local people listen. In addition to relying on the Han Dynasty's long-lasting kindness to the local area, more importantly, the Han Dynasty has the elites of Sanhe, North and South.
The strength of the army, and even the ministers in the Gyeonggi region.
Don't you see, Emperor Gaozu has already decided on Dingheshan, and also wants to set the capital in Guanzhong, so that if there is trouble in the east, the Han Dynasty can rely on the strength of the capital to directly eliminate the dissatisfaction.
Therefore, the strength of Gyeonggi is the legs of the country's bed. How can the country sleep on a bed without legs?
And what about the sons of the public clan like Liu Song? At this time of crisis, they didn’t want to serve their country, but they dared to abandon the army and run away? If you don’t kill him, how can Huang Wan lead the army? If you don’t kill him, how can he be worthy of dying on the battlefield since the Feng Rebellion?
A righteous man?
kill!
Here Liu Song's ears and nose were cut off, and he screamed in agony. On the other side of the formation, the officials who could not find their husband couldn't bear it any longer, so they broke out and fled for their lives.
Unlike Liu Song who was timid and fearful of death, Yang Gan of the Yang family was worthy of being an old Qin man. From the very beginning when he approached the enemy, he led his troops at the forefront, and what he attacked was Zuoqu under Li Damu.
General Zhang Nan.
Zhang Nan was a wise general, but his military force was only average, so it was quite difficult to encounter a brave man like Yang Gan. For a moment, the front line was crumbling due to Yang Gan's charge. Fortunately, Li Damu saw that something was wrong and came up with his guards to support him.
When the officials found Yang Gan, their husband was retreating back covered in blood. He was about to change his sword. After a moment of fighting, four of the swords in Yang Gan's hand were broken.
Suddenly seeing his subordinates approaching, Yang Gan glared and cursed:
"Who asked you to come here? If you are not here, how can the brothers below fight with peace of mind?"
After hearing what their husband said, some of them burst into tears and hugged Yang Gan:
"Lang Jun, where did the brothers come from? We are defeated, we are all defeated! The Taishan thieves rushing from behind are all over the mountains and plains, and they can't be killed. Let's leave quickly."
Yang Gan's first reaction was that these officials were greedy for life and afraid of death, so he looked behind the formation and saw that his Yang family's small flags were falling everywhere. Then he looked at his friendly troops, that is, the high-hanging flags in the Liu family's formation.
The Liu-character banner and the heraldic clan flag exclusive to the Huayin Liu family were also slowly falling.
At this moment, Yang Gan finally realized that he was really defeated!
The descendants of public clans like Yang and Liu were almost similar to princes and officials in ancient times. They all had their own clan flags and coats of arms. The patterns of each coat of arms were the history and allusions of their own family.
For example, the clan flag of the Huayin Yang clan is a bird offering grass flag. This is an allusion to Yang Bao, their ancestor, who used to offer grass to repay kindness. The clan flag of the Huayin Liu clan is red.
The dragon is in the field picture. The red dragon flag is also the exclusive flag for the descendants of the Liu family, because their Liu family is after the ancient emperor Yao, and Emperor Yao was the reincarnation of the red dragon. The picture in the field indicates that the origin of the Liu family in Huayin comes from the great ancestor.
Zhong's brother Liu Xi is a good farmer!
Every clan flag is a symbol of a family's spirit. Now even the Liu family's clan flag has been cut down. It seems that the Liu family has really lost.
But some people are more heroic in times of crisis.
In this difficult time, Yang Gan still cheered up and said:
"Everyone, I, the Yang family, have been grateful to the Han Dynasty for generations. Without the Han Dynasty, there would be no Yang family today. If the Han Dynasty is really going to perish, and sacrifices must be made with blood, then there must be the blood of my Yang family.
.”
When Lang Jun said this, the eight officials present knew Yang Gan's plan, and they all fell silent.
Seeing everyone's silence, Yang Gan sighed and said:
"But I, Yang, would dare to force you to death. Just because I, the Yang family, have received four hundred years of favor from the Han Dynasty, how can there be one or two people who stand up for justice and die in the Han Dynasty? Moreover, a man can only stay in heaven and earth for three years.
It's such a hurry, but if we can leave a name in history with our passion, our heroes will be remembered for eternity."
"If you die, you will die. It's okay to die for your country!"
"Twenty years later, we are still a good team!"
"Anyway, my hundred and ten pounds were raised by the Yang family, so what if I send them back now."
"I'm not afraid of death, I'm just afraid that the killing won't be quick enough!"
These words may be heroic or lofty, but everyone present is willing to follow the husband to fight back.
It is exactly that sentence that the true qualities of a hero can only be revealed when the sea is flowing. Neither Yang Gan nor the Eight Righteous Soldiers are cowards. If they die, they will die. They cannot fall into this fierce spirit.
Therefore, when all the soldiers returned in a hurry to the north, only Yang Gan and the Eight Righteous Soldiers fought back and ran straight into Li Damu's guard.
Unfortunately, what they bumped into was Li DaMou's guard. Fortunately, what they bumped into was Li DaMou's guard.
Yang Gan took the lead and made a leaping slash at an unusually majestic tiger warrior, but was blocked by the man's horizontal sword.
Yang Gan's strength was not ordinary, and with the help of a top-down jump attack, how could his strength be ordinary? But the tiger warrior in front of him blocked the sword without even shaking it. What kind of monster is this?
Yes, this tiger soldier is Sima of Guan Yu's left department, the god general of Mount Tai Army, Li Damu.
Yang Gan's heart tightened, and then he was hugged by Li Damu and knocked to the ground. In addition to his unparalleled strength, Li Damu was also most famous for his halberd throwing and horn-throwing skills. Now that Yang Gan was thrown by Li Damu, the hard armor
The earthquake from the earth directly dispersed his strength.
Yang Gan was not convinced, gritted his teeth, and hugged Li Damu, but unfortunately Li Damu only used one hand to break his hand away, and then pressed his knee against Yang Gan's stomach, preventing him from moving anymore.
The scene was like a cheetah being slapped to the ground by a giant tiger in the forest. It was so suppressed.
Seeing that his Sima had subdued this officer, the guardsmen on the side were about to step forward to kill the owl's leader, but were then stopped by Li Damu.
Li Damu had heard this man's encouraging behavior before the formation, and he admired him in his heart. He would have spared his life if he had the will. However, when he saw this man's gorgeous abdominal circumference, Li Damu unceremoniously stripped it off and gave it to Ding Daqi.
, and save him from being compared to Cai Que all the time.
Yang Gan was captured, and the remaining Eight Righteous Soldiers were either dead or captured. This was how the final counterattack of the first formation on the right wing of the Han army ended.
Later, Yang's Bird Ring Grass Banner was captured by Li Damu, while Liu's Red Dragon Banner was captured by Guo Liang.
…
When Zhang Dan's whole army was fighting hard, the soldiers of the left school Weibu who were originally in the central army also slowly moved to the right side of Guan Yu's troops under the leadership of the iron beast Cai Que, intending to flank the second formation of the Han army's left wing who was fighting fiercely.
.
Half of the four thousand soldiers in Zhang Chong's army were soldiers who had surrendered during the Battle of Yingyang. Many of them were from Hedong. When they heard the familiar local accent not far away, many people were a little sad.
But the friendship between fellow villagers is just that. They have sacrificed their lives for the Han Dynasty, and now that they have surrendered, Zhang Chong will be grateful to them for their lives. What's more, the Taishan Army's plan to divide the fields is really beneficial to them, the lower class.
The fighting Hans are too tempting. No matter which dynasty or generation, who can pay such a price to win over the fighting Hans, who will not win their allegiance?
It is said that the old Liu family used to allocate land to their subordinates in this way and won hundreds of thousands of warriors in Guanzhong. It is a pity that the Liu family now has no land to give to these low-level people. Could it be that the royal land in the world has become
A real joke.
Due to the limited width of the movement route, the two thousand soldiers of the Taishan Army's Zhongjun Zuo Xiaowei were divided into four neat square formations, arranged one after the other, and then slowly drove up from the left channel of the Ruying Yellow Turban Army to the front of the formation.
Ruying Huangjin looked at these soldiers who were coming forward one after another, with complex expressions on their faces, including the embarrassment of being underestimated and the luck of not being able to fight in the battlefield.
As Cai Que brought Wu Yu, Song He, Ding Fang, and Liu Fu to the battlefield, the pace of the entire battlefield suddenly accelerated.
Because Zhang Dan's troops were defeated too quickly, Cai Que's side did not arrive until they had killed the Han soldiers. Therefore, after the Han army commander Huang Wan realized that the main force of the Taishan army was pressing forward, he decisively ordered all the reserves on both wings to move forward.
The entire battlefield situation has accelerated from the previous refueling tactics to the main battlefield showdown.
As the Han troops on the opposite side continued to advance, the situation on the entire battlefield was as follows.
After the battle, the Han army still has 3,000 left-wing troops, 4,000 right-wing troops, and the central army still has 2,000 Yanzhou troops and 2,000 Hedong troops. The remaining troops have either been routed or have joined the battlefield.
There is no way to direct anymore.
As for the Taishan Army, there are still three thousand cavalry, of which two thousand assault cavalry are still on the right side of the battlefield, one thousand cavalry are in the middle army, and then there are still two thousand soldiers in the middle army, and finally only Ru Ying Huangjin is left
Yes, there are a lot of people there, tens of thousands of people.
But now the battlefield is formed into a big circle enclosing a small circle. In the middle is Guan Yu's tribe, which has lost its combat effectiveness. On this vast plain, this battle of tens of thousands of people started at the hottest time at noon.
Two hours have passed by now. Guan Yu's soldiers are exhausted, and they can only support themselves under the cover of the phalanx.
Then on the outside are Zhang Dan's two thousand soldiers, protecting Guan Yu's left. On the right, Cai Que, with his soldiers, is defeating the second formation on the Han army's left flank, and will soon join Guan Yu's troops.
So, in other words, in the inner formation, the Taishan Army's soldiers are about five thousand. And what about outside them? There are thirteen thousand soldiers. Huang Wan has sent all the troops up, and the front is
It is a central army of four thousand, with three thousand on the left and four thousand on the right. The five thousand soldiers of the Taishan Army are tightly surrounded on three sides.
Moreover, in order to guard against the cavalry on the periphery of the Taishan Army, these Han soldiers increased the depth of the front. Among them, the most elite veterans were placed on the outermost periphery, responsible for blocking the cavalry of the Taishan Army.
Huang Wan's intention is obvious, which is to see whether your cavalry will defeat me first, or whether I will swallow up the five thousand soldiers in your formation.
When the battle reached this level, all tactics and strategies were put aside, and it was just about seeing who was brave enough! In other words, the vast plain east of Xingyang could accommodate such a battle.
No matter who wins or loses this battle, this battle will go down in history. And the loser will definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame.
Zhang Chong also mounted the war horse now, and he no longer needed the commander-in-chief to coordinate. Now that the cards were clear, it was just to see who reached the limit first.
Therefore, after he ordered Tian Jun to lead two thousand cavalry to attack the Han army from the right, he led one thousand cavalry from the Chinese army to the left flank of the Han army.
After a small-scale battle, Tian Jun took the lead in attacking the right wing of the Han army with his cavalry. He concentrated all his elites on the spearhead, so he quickly defeated the Han army's front line. But precisely because the Han army adopted
After breaking through a few small formations, Tian Jun's assault horse quickly lost its power and had to dismount to fight. However, they did not leave their horses. They only waited for the wave of Han soldiers to be defeated before remounting.
Run to the outside.
At the same time, Zhang Chong brought a thousand cavalry here, but they were like divine help. Under Zhang Chong's extraordinary leadership, they were like a spear piercing the chest of the Han formation.
Moreover, Zhang Chongchong's position is also very subtle, because with his eyes, he can always find where the weakest soldier in the line is, and then he will lead the cavalry to charge repeatedly.
More and more Han soldiers collapsed under Zhang Chong's repeated ravages and fled in all directions. The balance of victory had tilted sharply towards the Taishan Army.
But it was also at this time that Fei Jun, who had been patrolling the periphery as a scout, ran with his flag in the direction of Zhang Chong's banner. After finally finding Qu Shuai, he told him an unexpected but not surprising news:
"Youzhou Cavalry appeared in the northwest of the battlefield. General Meng Juzheng of the Flying Army led his troops to block the attack, but it is estimated that they can only block it for a moment."
This unexpected news shocked the generals who were rushing with Zhang Chong. Some of them were dizzy and about to fall over, but Zhang Chong did not panic. He took out his golden sword and handed it to the flying army.
Then he said:
"You give my golden sword to He Dali, the second general of Ru Ying Huangjin, and Cao Dayong. Tell them: I can defeat the Han army in less than three moments, so you can withstand Youzhou's sudden cavalry for two moments, and I will
I will record this first achievement of the battle for you. If you withstand it for one moment, I will promise you no fault. But if you cannot withstand even one moment, then this golden sword will behead you. And if you persist for three moments, I will
If I haven't defeated you yet, then I'll behead me to apologize to you!"
After receiving this military order, Fei Jun nodded heavily to Commander Qu with his flag behind his back, and then ran towards Ru Ying Huangjin's formation.
Watching the flag go away, Zhang Chong suddenly felt thirsty. He asked the soldiers around him if they had any water, but everyone had already drank it.
Until now, there is no water. The soldiers on both sides have reached their limit. For example, Guan Yu, who has been fighting for the longest time, is even digging for water from the ground at this moment, while the Han army is not much better.
Now, it depends on who can grit their teeth and persevere.
