On the 23rd, the Wei army launched a general attack on the Han army.

At the west bridge of the water where Wanyu Chi Road is located, Zhang Fei climbed high and watched, and it could be seen that the infantry of the Wei army was the forerunner, and the mighty array of more than 20 miles wide was pressed to the south.

"Wei Gong, the banner of Guan Bi is Cao Hong's guard!"

Yu flipped over and looked into the distance, and it could be seen that the Guanzhong army behind Cao Hong's formation was moving slowly, and about 20,000 horsemen were arranged on both wings, like a supervising team, coercing and driving away the guards who were mainly from Yanyu and Henan Prefectures were marching forward.

The Wei army was a thousand people, and in a battle line about twenty-four miles wide, twelve marching phalanxes were arranged, with five rows in front and back.

The color of the yellow clothes, the flags, the black armor, and the dust, looked at it from a distance, like a sandstorm that was slowly coming.

There was no dust in winter, and under the cold sky, there were only withered grass and trees on the earth, and cold, dull and emotionless marching phalanx.

After the sixty marching phalanxes in front of the Wei army, a dense wolf smoke began to be lit to convey signals to the Wei troops everywhere.

About thirty miles to the southwest, thick wolf smoke also rose above Yao Mountain, and Zhang Liao proved that he was still alive and had not been attacked and killed by the Han army.

On the east side of the East Bridge of Junshui, where Runan and Luoyang Chi Road are located, there are also more than 30 marching phalanxes slowly coming.

Here Cao Zhang stood on the Rong car, quietly looking at the Tianzi and Zhengdong battle flags fluttering at the bridgehead on the south bank of the Junshui East Bridge, and the bridgehead camp Zhongtian Peng Zu gasped for breath, staring at the 'Hussar General' battle flag, and next to this battle flag there was a slightly smaller Yanling Marquis battle flag.

Tian Yu inspected here, raised his hand and just patted his son on the shoulder, didn't say anything, and continued to inspect the guard battalions on both wings of the bridge.

The Wei army marched for two hours, about nine o'clock in the afternoon, and it was only two hours before dawn, and there were still eight hours before dark.

The scouts left by the Han army on the north bank were expelled by the overwhelming advantage of the Wei army, bringing back more news to Zhang Fei.

There were 40,000 Cao Hong, 20,000 Zhang He, 30,000 Cao Zhen, and nearly 100,000 on the West Road Front.

With a battle group of this size, given the vast terrain between Luyang and Yexian, there was no need for a camp during the night, and the Wei army had enough manpower to take turns to keep vigil and arrange a deep enough cordon.

"Publicly, the enemy's position is not together, and the last general is willing to lead 300 sharp soldiers to assault the enemy's formation and mess up his mind!"

Wang Chong, the commander of Ba County, surrendered his hand to the battle, and Zhang Fei squinted his eyes and groaned, carefully observing the Wei army array.

It has been determined that the armies of Zhang He and Cao Hong have been mixed, and the first battle will be fought by Cao Hong's newly formed guard army of Yanyu origin, Zhang He's Chinese army is responsible for supervising the battle, and Cao Zhen's Guanzhong army in the rear is responsible for receiving and supervising the battle.

There was a gap of about one and a half miles between the various formations of the Wei army on the march, and order was particularly important for such a large-scale march, and spacing was the best means to maintain order.

If the marching order is chaotic and the battalions are mixed together, it will fall into command confusion, that is, a mess of a flock of sheep.

Zhang Fei thought for a moment and refused: "There are many thieves and cavalry, and they are vigorous, so it is not appropriate to counterattack." Wait for its vigor to fail, and then attack the formation. ”

The larger the march, the deadlier the order.

Continuously destroying the enemy formation will have unexpected and wonderful effects, but among the Han army, only Tian Xin is absolutely sure that this effect will be achieved.

It's not just Tian Xin's personal martial arts, but all the officials are willing to chase after Tian Xin and fight hard.

Tian Xin's single-handedly chisel through one, two, and three formations is already the limit, but with the unity of the armor, it is enough to break through one human wall after another, barriers, and spread panic and despair in all formations of the Wei army, so that the fighting spirit is shaken and gradually disintegrated.

Yu flipped the spear in his hand, turned his head sideways and said, "Please also ask Duke Wei to sit in Kunyang, and leave it to Yu here." ”

"Hmm."

Zhang Fei's round eyes looked at Yu Turn, and said seriously: "The Wei army is pouring out of the nest, taking advantage of the sharp advance, wanting to break me with one blow." Mr. Defend today, and the morale of the Wei army is self-efferving. ”

"What Wei Gong said, I remember it in my heart."

Yu turned and gave a serious salute, Zhang Fei smiled, and left with confidence.

Fighting a war is like this, three axes, three knives, and the vast majority of people are pursuing a one-hit break.

As for stamina or something...... If the front row can be crushed and rushed, what else do you need to do?

Zhang Fei boarded the chariot to inspect the surrounding camps and moved towards Kunyang, and the East Bridge of the Water was the place where he should command; The West Bridge is commanded by Yu Tuo, and Guan Yu is responsible for the distribution of reinforcements.

Wang Chong was slightly unwilling, and Yu turned ignore.

Now the morale of the Han army is generally higher than that of the Wei army, there is no need to send troops to counterattack the Wei army that harasses the cavalry advantage, if this elite detachment is bitten and surrounded by the Wei cavalry, even if it is rescued, it will also have an invigorating effect on the morale of the Wei army.

The morale of the Han army was strong, and the negative state was that it was easy to underestimate the enemy, thinking that it could defeat the Wei army's marching array and achieve a chain effect.

But there is really no need, Tian Xin and Ma Chao have already laid the victory for the Han army.

Now defending Wankou and protecting the migration route of the people is a victory.

If the main force of the Wei army is dragged to Wankou and made it unable to move, wait for Yang Jun and Cao Zhi to finish running-in...... Then the Wei army is one step away from the total collapse.

As long as the counterattack of the Wei army is blocked, and then the main force of the Wei army is stranded in Wankou, and when the relocation of the people is completed, all units of the Han army are ready for a counteroffensive...... Then the next stop is Yique.

After laying down any of the three passes of Yique, the only thing Cao Pi could do was to cross the river from Pingjin to Mengjin on the north bank, and hurry back to Yecheng.

If he was besieged by the Han army in Luoyang, the ghost knows what strange choice the Hebei Shi clan would make.

In the position of the Wei army, Cao Hong slowly advanced in a Rong car, his face expressionless.

As the richest man in the Wei State, when Ma Chao disturbed the county, Cao Hong's assets and industries shrank by half. Now the Central Plains has changed so much that most of his industries have collapsed, and only some of Yecheng's industries and manors are still normal.

The smelter is gone, the winery is gone, the textile manor is gone, and the technical slaves that have been cultivated so hard have fallen into the hands of Ma Chao.

The assets are gone, and now the army is also forced by Cao Zhen to fight the most sinister front, and after the army is too damaged, his prestige in the army will also go bankrupt.

Lose the army, lose the influence in the army, and lose assets...... What is the meaning of this life?

Five miles behind Cao Hongrong's car, it was Zhang He's commanding car.

Zhang He looked at the column of smoke condensed in the sky above Yaoshan Mountain, slowly drifting and spreading to the south, and his eyes showed a look of relief.

As long as Zhang Liao's pillar of smoke is still there, the morale of the Wei army can be guaranteed.

It's a pity that Luyang Pass and Chu Yu Pass fell into the hands of the Han army and couldn't get in touch with Zhang Liao.

Ten miles behind Zhang He was Cao Zhen, who had already stopped and began to set up a camp.

The governor of Yongliang, the general of Zhenxi, the great Sima, and the Marquis of Shaoling fluttered behind Cao Zhenrong's chariot on all sides, and he himself was fat, sitting on the chariot and looking at the quiet camp area of the Han army in the distance.

As for the little dispute between his sister and Xiahou Shang, Cao Zhenhun didn't care.

is just a concubine from a low background, Xiahou Shang has gone too far, if he cares more about his face on weekdays, how could Xiahou Shang and his wife get to this point?

At this moment, his mind is calm, and he has abandoned too many irrelevant distractions, and only this war remains.

It is not only necessary to quickly break through the Han army's outer defense line, but also to break through the Lishui defense line, and force Guan Yu to retreat from Ye County, only in this way can Zhang Liao be rescued.

Successfully rescuing Zhang Liao, the morale of the Wei army on the Wankou battlefield will usher in a flashpoint, which is the key to defeating the Han army in one fell swoop.

And the real decisive opportunity for Wankou's victory is in Yunxian, Cao Xiu, Xiahou Shang, Zhao Yan, three corps of 120,000 people are attacking Yuncheng, as long as Tian Xin and Beifu soldiers are dragged for three days to ensure that the Wankou battlefield is not disturbed, then they have a forty percent chance of defeating the main force of the Han army!

At this moment, Tian Xin and the 26th Battalion of Beifu troops were arrayed 20 miles north of Yunxian, and the 32nd Battalion of the New Army was arrayed five miles to the rear, spreading out for nearly 20 miles from east to west, covering the road.

In order to protect Jingyu Chidao, so that the relocated people can pass safely, the people gathered are close to the peak, and the people who moved with the Beifu soldiers and the left army are at least 200,000.

It takes at least five days to pass through Wankou and enter your hinterland.

Ma Liang, Ma Chao, and Ma Dai are protecting and providing grain along the way...... And military rations are in danger all the time.

There is no choice, and the only way for the migrating people to have enough to eat can they travel faster and stay healthy.

Hold the food in your hands and watch the people starve to death within their control...... Tian Xin couldn't do it.

He also sat on the chariot, wearing a red-lacquered mirror armor, wearing an oblique lightning tail helmet woven with red, white and blue ribbons, and carefully examined the Wei army's forward phalanx, which was a chariot soldier, with heavy chariots pulled by animal power, light scythe-sand chariots carried by two horses, and partial vans driven by manpower.

The outside of the side van was inlaid with five or six feet long bamboo thorns, and the Wei army's lightly armed infantry pushed the cart forward in the side van.

The relatively smooth roads and the permafrost in the fields in winter provide an excellent sports and combat environment for the vehicles and soldiers.

"Xiahou Shang deliberately showed the chariot soldiers to me, this is unwilling to fight with me in the field."

Tian Xin thought for a moment, unwilling to use infantry to crash into the soldiers, and said to the people around him: "The armies are back in the camp, I can't go out of the camp, and he doesn't dare to attack." ”

No one questioned that Pang Lin was responsible for command and dispatch, and the battalions took cover alternately, and then retreated back to the camp.

After Tian Xin himself broke off, he saw his old acquaintance Xiahou Ba holding an apricot yellow flag and leading dozens of horsemen to cross the formation, Tian Xin raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at Guo Yi, and Guo Yi shrugged his shoulders under the white gauze bamboo hat and looked speechless.

Tian Xin asked Yu Zhong, who was standing with a shield beside him: "Shifang, are you willing to avenge an arrow?" ”

Yu Zhong looked at Xiahou Shang, the enemy general who was getting closer and closer, and shook his head: "He knows that Guo Boyi has surrendered to me, and he has come in person, I am afraid that it is to discuss important matters." Moreover, Zhang Liao, who injured us, if our army shoots and injures Xiahou Boren because of this, it will be difficult for morality to survive in the future. ”

"Well, go up twenty steps and see what he has to say."
