For some reason, Li Ru also had a bad premonition in his heart.

It seems that tomorrow's decisive battle is going to happen to something.

Therefore, Li Ru did not say anything to death this time, his words were just a suggestion, and the final decision was still in Dong Zhuo's hands.

After pondering for a long time, Dong Zhuo didn't understand where his bad premonition came from.

Tomorrow is a great time to win a big victory and put down the rebellion in one fell swoop.

Once successful, he Dong Zhuo will be able to obtain rich military merits and great prestige.

In short, this counterinsurgency must not be missed.

Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo finally decided to participate in tomorrow's counterinsurgency.

……

On the second day, the three armies set up their formations in turn at the place designated by Beigong Boyu to prepare for a decisive battle.

This terrain is a rare open area nearby, and there is only a hill around it in the direction of Dong Zhuojun.

However, Dong Zhuo had already sent someone to spy on this hill, and there were no Qianghu military horses in ambush.

Otherwise, Dong Zhuo would not have led the army to a decisive battle so happily.

This is a terrain that is acceptable to all three armed forces.

Beigong Boyu's choice of this terrain can be said to be painstaking.

The decisive battle formation prepared by Lu Bu was dominated by Zhang Fei and Zhou Cang, two 10,000-strong troops, and the cavalry of the Shenji Battalion was the cavalry.

The trapped camp led by Gao Shun is hidden in the Chinese army, ready to cut into the battlefield at any time.

The three hundred soldiers of the God of War Battalion were taken by Lu Bu's side, and the same was true of the guard battalion led by Dian Wei.

Qianghu's soldiers and horses were mainly cavalry.

Lü Bu's army, on the other hand, was mainly infantry.

Infantry fights cavalry, which is not very easy to fight, and has a congenital disadvantage.

However, fortunately, the terrain chosen by Beigong Boyu still has certain benefits for Lu Bu's army.

Because not far from the south side of Lu Bu's army, there is Dong Zhuo's army.

Lu Bu's infantry actually only needed to defend on both sides.

On the side is Dong Zhuo's army of 30,000.

Dong Zhuo is also the overlord of Xiliang, and there is no shortage of cavalry under him.

Dong Zhuo's team is also dominated by cavalry.

If you look at the number of cavalry alone, Lu Bu's army is the weakest.

Because Lü Bu currently has only 3,000 cavalry, which is the smallest among the three armies.

But whether it was Beigong Boyu or Dong Zhuo, they didn't dare to underestimate Lu Bu.

This is a ruthless man who can take a city with 300 soldiers, who dares to underestimate him?

Dong Zhuo's arrangement was very obscene, and he put on a circular defensive formation, making it clear that he was only passively defending and was not ready to attack.

And the formation of the infantry on Lu Bu's side was quite strange.

Two infantry formations, forming a dense array of pikes.

For this formation, Beigong Boyu, Han Sui and Bian Zhang, were completely dismissive.

This also made them more and more sure that Lu Bu did not understand the essence of infantry and cavalry combat at all.

If the infantry wants to compete with the cavalry, they usually rely on chariot formations, rejecting angles, etc., to block the pace of cavalry advance.

Placing such a dense phalanx like you is a live target for cavalry, and a few charges can crush you.

In this war, they didn't even need Ma Teng's cavalry, they could win on their own.

Therefore, Beigong Boyu decided to use the main force to deal with Lu Bu's front army.

As for Dong Zhuo's side, he only needed to send a considerable number of cavalry to contain it.

As long as they concentrate their superior forces, they will defeat Lu Bu's army first.

Turn your head upside down and then join Ma Teng's cavalry, and you can defeat Dong Zhuo with your backhand.

As long as these two armies are defeated, ask the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, who else is their opponent?

Therefore, Beigong Boyu and Bian Zhang Han Sui summed it up, and Beigong Boyu led 30,000 cavalry to contain Dong Zhuo.

Bian Zhang and Han Sui, each of whom led 20,000 cavalry, were used to deal with Lu Bu's army.

In their opinion, it is not too easy to use 40,000 cavalry to deal with more than 20,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry, and it can be easily annihilated.

The plan has been decided, and Beigong Boyu led 30,000 cavalry to attack Dong Zhuo's cavalry first.

Both sides are Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and they are very familiar with their respective combat methods.

The combat strength of the two armies was also almost the same, so the battle between the two sides soon entered a white-hot level.

However, it is clear that both sides have reservations and do not commit all their forces as soon as they come up.

Because both sides understand that the battle that will decide the situation on the battlefield is not on their side.

It's on Lu Bu's side next to him.

If Lu Bu is defeated, then Dong Zhuo can only retreat.

On the contrary, if Bian Zhang and Han Sui were defeated, then the action would press the army in, dragging Beigong Boyu to death.

It's just that with Lu Bu's army of more than 20,000, can he be the opponent of Bian Zhang and Han Sui's 40,000 cavalry?

Although Lu Buwei is famous, the previous two victories made Dong Zhuo have a kind of blind confidence in Lu Bu.

But when it came to the end, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but be apprehensive.

In case Lu Bu was defeated, it would be impossible for his 30,000 army to retreat in its entirety.

The most conservative estimate is that more than half of the soldiers and horses will be lost.

These soldiers and horses are all Dong Zhuo's descendants, and they have suffered so many losses, it is simply cutting meat in Dong Zhuo's heart.

……

Bian Zhang and Han Sui, each with an army, began to attack Zhang Fei and Zhou Cang's infantry corps.

When the cavalry galloped to a distance of seventy or eighty paces from the infantry corps, the cavalry of Bian Zhang and Han Sui slowed down and began to shoot with bows and arrows.

This is also where the cavalry is most inexplicable against the infantry.

However, Zhang Fei and Zhou Cang's infantry corps seemed to have prepared a way to deal with cavalry cavalry, and they saw that one-third of the soldiers in the queue raised their shields and protected all the soldiers in the shields.

The archers of the infantry legions, on the other hand, were able to shoot arrows in the gaps of their shields.

After a round of shooting, the infantry corps suffered dozens of casualties, while the cavalry of Bian Zhang and Han Sui actually lost hundreds of people.

In this round of shooting, it was actually the cavalry that suffered more losses.

This couldn't help but make Bian Zhang and Han Sui angry, and the two couldn't help but command the cavalry to charge the infantry corps.

When the cavalry charges, it needs to hold a weapon in hand, and there is no way to mount and shoot.

And the infantry corps was completely unaffected, and the archers, in the ranks, began to shoot frantically.

This also caused Bian Zhang and Han Sui's cavalry to continue to fall off their horses, and the hated Bian Zhang and Han Sui's teeth itched.

Now you are rampant, and when the Lao Tzu rushes closer, I have to kill you all the fallen flowers and flowing water, and there is no piece of armor left!

When Bian Zhang and Han Sui's cavalry reached sixty paces, the archers threw away their bows and arrows, took out their crossbows, and fired a new round of fire at the cavalry.

When Bian Zhang and Han Sui's cavalry rushed in front of the infantry, they encountered at least three rounds of fire, killing and wounding hundreds of people.

didn't even touch people's faces, and actually lost so many people, which was a great shame for Bian Zhang and Han Sui.

It's finally closer, and it's time to harvest on the battlefield!

In the face of the cavalry charge, the infantry on the opposite side actually raised the spears in their hands.

Although the spears in their hands were a little too long, they were actually more than a zhang long.

But they wouldn't be naïve enough to think that a longer spear would be able to withstand the cavalry's attack, would they?
