Chapter 636: The Great Battle of the Central Plains (Medium)
After rescuing Kong Rong, Tai Shici asked Wu Anguo to escort him away first, while he himself left the broken queen alone.
After Kong Rong was completely safe, Tai Shi Ci chose to start breaking through, and the three generals under Huang Chao, Zhu Wen, Peng Ju and Shan Xing, joined forces to stop him.
Tai Shici, who was in danger, did not have the slightest fear, and came to meet him with a spear, and after more than ten rounds, he saw the opportunity to break through.
Where were Zhu Wen and the other three generals willing to let Tai Shici go, they all patted their horses and came to chase after them, while Tai Shici turned around and shot Peng Ji and Shan Xing directly with a series of arrows, while Zhu Wen narrowly avoided it.
Under the defeat of the army, Tai Shici was able to defeat three generals with one enemy, and also killed two generals, which became the biggest highlight of this battle.
The name of Donglai Taishi Ci has been completely famous all over the world.
After Kong Rong was defeated and retreated, the opponents faced by Huang Chao became the three major princes of Liu Yu, Liu Bei and Song Jiang, with a total of 80,000 Han troops.
Because of the defeat of Kong Rong, the morale of the Huangchao Army at this time was at its peak.
Therefore, although the troops under his command are not as good as the Han army, Huang Chao still dares to fight with the three major princes.
Liu Yu couldn't wait to fight Huang Chao to the death as soon as possible, he had absolute confidence in the combat power of his Youzhou army, so after receiving Huang Chao's battle letter, Liu Yu directly agreed after a little consideration.
On September 15, the decisive battle finally started in Licheng County, Jinan, with Huang Chao personally leading 60,000 Ming troops against Liu Yu's 80,000 Qingyou coalition army.
This time, Huang Chao learned the lesson of the battle with Qin Hao, and while fighting steadily, he also set up a pocket formation for the Han army.
It's a pity that Wu Yong, Song Jiang's military advisor, saw through Huang Chao's strategy, so the Han army did not enter the trap.
On the day of the war, Huang Chao personally led an army of 50,000 to face the enemy head-on, but secretly ordered Wang Xianzhi to lead an army of 10,000 to the rear of the Han army, preparing to crush the Han army in one fell swoop.
There was no problem with Huang Chao's strategy, but he still underestimated the Han army, or rather, he overestimated the combat power of the army under his command.
With only the 50,000 army in Huang Chao's hands, can he really stop the 80,000 army of the Han army?
Liu Yu used the most prudent method to divide the 80,000-strong army into three parts, the left and the right, Liu Yu personally led the middle army, while Liu Bei led the left army, and Song Jiang led the right army.
After the war began, Liu Bei personally led the charge, and Guan Zhang guarded him.
The left army of Huangchao was difficult to resist at all, Zhang Yan was directly beheaded by Guan Yu, and Zhao Zhang was stabbed to death by Zhang Fei with two spears.
If it weren't for Huang Chao seeing that the situation was not good, he sent Zhu Wen to support him in advance, I am afraid that the left army would have been defeated long ago.
As for the situation of the Right Army, it was also very bad.
Song Jiang's generals such as Li Kui, Lu Zhishen, and Liu Tang were all extremely murderous people.
Li Ying was shot to death by Ji Kui with a hidden arrow, and then the Liang Shan fierce generals were like crazy, and they all rushed up and directly hacked Ji Kui to death.
Such a formation frightened Cui Xuan, another general of the right army, so he dared to stop showing the courage of a horseman, and knew that he was dedicated to commanding the army to fight, but in the end he was still beheaded by Li Kui.
Everything was as Huang Chao expected, the 80,000 troops of the Han army had all been put into battle, and they only had to wait for their 10,000 troops to raid the back of the enemy army, and they would win the battle.
It's just that Huang Chao didn't expect that the situation of the left and right armies was all in an unfavorable state, and he didn't know if he could survive until the surprise soldiers entered the battle.
In order to win, Huang Chao decided to join the battle himself to boost morale.
With the addition of Huang Chao, the morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted again, and it was stalemate with the Han army in a short time.
At this time, Wang Xianzhi's army arrived and raided the back of the Han army, and the Han army was in chaos for a while.
Seeing this, Huang Chao also saw the opportunity, and concentrated his forces to attack the weak Chinese army of the Han army, Liu Yu's army did not have a strong general, so Huang Chao broke through the Chinese army.
As soon as the Chinese army was defeated, Liu Bei and Song Jiang's results were brilliant, and they could only grit their teeth and choose to withdraw their troops.
Huang Chao did not choose to pursue, because the Ming army no longer had the physical strength.
In this battle, the Huangchao army lost 30,000 troops, while the Han army also suffered nearly 40,000 casualties, which can be described as a defeat for both sides.
The purpose of directly defeating the Han army failed, so Huang Chao could only defend solidly.
At this time, the Youqing Alliance only had 40,000 troops, and such a force was no longer enough to support it to completely exterminate Huangchao, so Liu Yu ordered Gongsun Zan to send troops to help in the battle.
Gongsun Zhan, who was far away in Liaodong, did not personally lead the troops after receiving the order, but sent his younger brother Gongsun Xuanyuan to lead 20,000 troops to help, and he himself continued to garrison Liaodong to guard against the Manchu Qing.
Before Gongsun Xuanyuan's army arrived, the battle in Qingzhou once again fell into an eerie peace, but this peace was destined to be broken soon.
In the fourth year of Zhongping, October 1.
Since Li Mi and Li Zicheng joined forces, they have been defending Yuzhou for several months.
In the face of this turtle shell, the Yuan Cao coalition army had no way to speak, and the morale of the army gradually declined.
Seeing this, Li Mi finally saw the hope of regaining the territory from Yuan Shu's hands, so he and Li Zicheng prepared to take the initiative.
As everyone knows, this was all designed by Cao Cao, deliberately making an illusion for him to see, and soon after walking out of the city, he was ambushed by the Yuan Cao coalition army.
In this ambush battle, Ren Zhong on Li Mi's side was killed by an arrow from Xiahou Yuan, and Lian Ming died at the hands of Lian Po.
Cheng Yanjin, Wang Junke, You Junda, Xie Yingdeng and Shi Danai were successively captured by Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan brothers, as well as Yang Jiliang and Yang Jizu brothers.
As for Li Zicheng's losses, Hao Shaoqi was killed by Zhao Kuangyin, Li Laiheng was killed by Cao Ren and Cao Chun, and Yuan Zongdi directly betrayed Yuan Shu.
If Xu Shiji hadn't led all the remaining soldiers and horses in the city to arrive in time, and also gave Yuan Cao's coalition army a counter-ambush, I'm afraid that the Ming army would really be damaged by more than half.
Luo Shixin, the general under Xu Shiji, fought alone against Yuan Cao's eight generals in this battle, and those who fought with him were: Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Yang Jiliang, Yang Jizu, Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Hao, and Lian Po.
If it weren't for Xiahoudun and his brothers, and Zhao Kuangyin's brothers all had combination skills, I am afraid that the eight big ones would not have the upper hand.
Luo Shixin fought eight battles, and eight of them were famous generals in the world, although he fell into the disadvantage, but he was not defeated, so Luo Shixin was also famous after the war, and was known as a fierce general who was not inferior to Li Yuanba and Xiang Yu.
Xu Shiji's counter-ambush was extremely beautiful, and if it weren't for Cao Cao's army, the results would have been even more brilliant.
In this battle, the casualties of the Han army reached nearly 30,000, and even Zhao Kuo, the son of Zhao Hao, also died in the chaos, which can be described as another defeat and injury.
