Chapter 9 of the Central Plains 68th Pingyang Pavilion. After listening to the narration of the great general Li Hong, the left general Lu Yi, the right general Zhang Yan, Jia Xu, Fu Gan and others, their expressions gradually became solemn.

Today, Shooting Yingtong and Xi Huanyang were ordered to take the iron cavalry to feint against the rebels, firstly, in order to create the false impression that the main iron cavalry in northern Xinjiang had left the line of Baima and Pingyang Pavilion and moved to the battlefields of Hanoi and Yanzhou, so that the rebels could reduce their vigilance and speed up their attacks.

The second is to test the defensive ability of the rebels to see if their offensive and defensive battle formations will pose a threat to the attack of the Iron Cavalry.

"Now it seems that our first goal has been achieved, but ......" She Yingtong looked at Li Hong and hesitated for a moment,

"The rebels' offensive and defensive formations are very strong, and if they force their attack, the casualties will be very large, and it will also seriously delay the attack time of the army. Once we delay too long on the battlefield of Pingyangting, or are dragged by the rebels into the evening, it will be difficult for us to completely annihilate the rebels north of Yancheng. ”

"Yuan Shao and Liu Biao have learned all the methods we used to deal with Hu Qi back then." Koji Yi waved his hand hatefully,

"Both of them participated in the Battle of Yicheng that year, and they knew very well the process of our defeat of the tens of thousands of Qiang cavalry in June. The fiasco of the Jizhou War the year before last probably reminded them of the past, so this time they specially prepared a lot of equipment, planning to face off with our iron cavalry. ”

"We fought several big battles in Xiliang, especially the two blockades of Qingshi Mountain and Boluo Valley, which not only blocked the Xianbei people, but also dealt them a heavy blow." She Yingtong said to Li Hong in Xianbei words,

"This time I went south, and many tribesmen were worried that they would be too damaged and might be annexed by other tribes in the desert in the future, so they were worried and uneasy. If the general orders them to attack from the front of the battlefield at any cost, they will immediately think of the bitter lessons of the past, and their determination and confidence to attack will be greatly diminished. The others couldn't understand Xianbei's words, so they all looked at Li Hong with their eyes, waiting for his explanation.

Li Hong thought for a while, said the meaning of shooting Yingtong, and then asked Zhang Yandao: "How many people are there in the middle of the rebel army?" Is it the same as their forward army, which also has a very solid offensive and defensive battle formation? ”

"Judging from the scouts' exploration, there are about 40,000 people in the middle army, and they saw Yuan Shao's battle flag, as well as the battle flags of the Jiujiang Army and the Jiangdong Army." Zhang Yan said,

"This army has carried a lot of baggage, and the battle formation is not as strong as their vanguard army."

"This time we withdrew quickly, and the rebels pursued very quickly. A lot of heavy equipment was left behind, and the Jiujiang Army and Jiangdong Army had almost no heavy equipment, so the defensive ability of this group was much worse than that of their forward army. Jia Xu continued,

"If the rebels want to defend themselves against the attack of our iron cavalry army, they need not only huge shields, giant spears and strong bows and ballistas, but also many experienced soldiers. Most of the rebels' vanguard armies were the troops that participated in the Jizhou War the year before last, such as Kuai Yue, Xin Ping, Jiang Qi, Xiahou Yuan, Liu Pan, Wen Ping, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei. These people and their subordinates have a certain amount of experience in confrontation, and it is indeed very difficult to fight. ”

"Has the number of rebel vanguard troops been determined?" Li Hong asked again.

"It can be determined that it is about 60,000 people." Zhang Yan said,

"We have taken a closer look, and the banner of the vanguard army is in Kuai Yue's army, and this army is now under his command. In addition, Jiang Qi, Xiahou Yuan, and Guan Yu's subordinates are all elite soldiers from all over the country, and if we forcibly attack, our casualties are indeed not small. Li Hong pondered for a long time, and suddenly said: "Immediately change the attack strategy, let the army of foot soldiers and an iron cavalry drag the rebels' forward army in Pingyang Pavilion, do not fight it for the time being, and then send an iron cavalry to block the rebels' rear army and prevent their rescue." Li Hong raised his big hand and slapped it on the map hard,

"We concentrated about 70,000 iron cavalry, first surrounded and annihilated the rebels' middle army, and encircled and annihilated Yuan Shao." Lu Yi, Zhang Yan, Jia Xu and the others looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

"In this way, we won't be able to reach Yancheng tonight." Koji shook his head regretfully.

"If the rebels' vanguard army and the middle army can be completely annihilated, the Central Plains War will be over." Zhang Yan said with a smile,

"You can go to Yancheng whenever you want." Li Hong briefly discussed the details with everyone, and then ordered Zhang Yan to sit in Pingyang Pavilion to command the overall situation, and Liyi commanded the northern and southern armies and Xian Yufu's iron cavalry to drag the rebels' forward army in the area of Pingyang Pavilion, and Lei Zi led the army to quickly kill Yancheng and Wating to block the rebels' rear army.

"Ordered Yan to be fearless, lead the iron cavalry of the department, immediately meet Zhao Yun, move closer to the direction of Xiaoma Pavilion, and prepare to encircle and annihilate Yuan Shao with the main force." In the afternoon, Kuai Yue commanded the forward army to advance to Pingyang Pavilion.

Lu Yi and Lü Bu gathered an army of 70,000 foot soldiers and fought hard to block the attack according to the favorable terrain. Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin, Li Su, Gongsun Xu and others each brought an iron cavalry, galloped back and forth around the battle formation of the coalition army, and made attacks from time to time, forcing the coalition army to stick to the battle formation, lest the northern iron cavalry break into the formation.

In the afternoon, twenty miles southwest of Pingyang Pavilion, Xiaoma Pavilion. On the horizon due east, a dust mist quietly rose, and this dust mist grew larger and larger, gradually obscuring the clear blue sky and gray-yellow land in the sky.

"Knock...... The war drums of the ...... alarm immediately resounded in the field.

"Order all departments, move closer immediately, quickly, quickly......" Yuan Shao's face changed slightly, and he ordered repeatedly. Although Kuai Yue said that the enemy's iron cavalry was less than 10,000 people, the middle army did not have a solid battle formation like the forward army, and if the northern iron cavalry was allowed to rush over when the formation of each division was loose, the army was very likely to collapse.

Meng Dai and Tao Yi were both generals from Jizhou, and they had also participated in the Jizhou War the year before last, and they were calm and unhurried, commanding their soldiers and the people who transported the baggage to quickly use hundreds of baggage carts to set up a chariot formation.

The number of baggage carts is limited, and they can only be placed directly opposite the battlefield, which is the direction where the enemy cavalry is most likely to attack.

Ji Ling, Sun Fu, and Lu Su commanded their respective armies to quickly assemble and form a zigzag battle formation with Yuan Shao's army.

"Didn't Lord Kuai say that they restrained the Northern Frontier Iron Cavalry?" Ji Ling rushed to Yuan Shao's side and asked in surprise,

"Why is there another Iron Rider here? Have we fallen into an ambush? Yuan Shao shook his head and comforted with a smile: "The number of iron cavalry in Northern Xinjiang is limited, and we have already taken precautions. Although they had the intention of bypassing the strikers to attack us, it was difficult to succeed. Yuan Shao pointed to the big sun above his head,

"In this weather, before the Iron Riders approached us, the smoke and dust in the sky had already exposed their tracks. By the time they get here, we'll be ready to defend. You don't have to worry, it's okay. Before he could finish speaking, a frightened shout suddenly came from the battle array, and people turned to look behind them.

Directly in the western sky, a puff of smoke and dust rose into the sky, tumbling violently in the air like a dark cloud before a thunderstorm, and quickly spreading in all directions.

Yuan Shao's face changed suddenly, his heart was suffocated, and his wheezing suddenly became urgent. Sun Fu and Lu Su came on horseback, pointing to the west, panicking,

"My lord, what's going on? Is it the Northern Frontier Iron Horse? We're surrounded? ”

"Don't panic, don't panic." Yuan Shao waved his hand vigorously, barely stabilizing his nervous mood,

"This is a bluff, it is a bluff, they can't stop the attack of our forward army, so they bluff and want to drag us here and buy time for their army to withdraw from Pingyang Pavilion." Sun Fu and Lu Su looked at each other and were suspicious.

Lu Su arched his hand and asked, "My lord, are you sure that this is a suspicious plan of the Northern Frontier Army?" "Lu Su's official position is just that of a commander of the army, and it is really disrespectful to speak to Yuan Shao in this tone.

Yuan Shao snorted coldly, glanced at him disdainfully, and waved the horsewhip in his hand,

"We have 40,000 men, and the Northern Iron Cavalry is limited, and if they want to attack at this moment, they must concentrate all their forces to ensure that they can be hit in one hit. If you want to get a flock of sheep, would you rather attack with one tiger or drive two wolves to attack? Li Hong is proficient in cavalry warfare, how could he disperse his forces at this time? Yuan Shao paused and said,

"Of course, if the Northern Frontier Army can't hide its traces and carry out a sneak attack, if it has enough troops, it can also carry out the technique of wolf siege. Do they have so many iron riders, though? "In terms of cavalry warfare, Ji Ling and the others have little experience, on the contrary, Yuan Shao is very experienced because of his repeated battles with Li Hong and Gongsun Zhan.

After listening to Yuan Shao's explanation, the tension in the hearts of the three of them was greatly relieved. Since it is a suspicious tactic, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Lu Su realized that he had spoken rudely in a hurry just now, and was about to apologize to Yuan Shao, when he heard a cry of even more horror from the soldiers on the flank of the battle formation, and then the shouts came and went, surging up layer by layer like a wave, and instantly spread throughout the entire army.

Yuan Shao and the others were shocked and looked up to the north. A huge cloud of smoke rose into the air, and it was like a whistling ghost wind, vaguely carrying the sound of wind and thunder, sweeping in.

It resembles a gray monster, roaring all the way, growing at an unimaginable rate and devouring the blue sky, white clouds, and vast expanses of the land with impunity.

"My lord, the south, the south is also here......" Yuan Shao's vest was cold, and the chill to his bones instantly hit his whole body, and his hands and feet stiffened as if they did not obey the call.

He let out a low roar, twisted his body with all his might, and looked south. In the southern sky, a cloud of smoke and dust rolled and burned violently along the horizon like a flame in a violent wind, covering half of the sky in the blink of an eye, and then merged with the smoke and dust in the east, west, and south directions.

Yuan Shao was dumbfounded, he opened his eyes wide and looked around, Huo Ran found that the entire horizon had been swept away by smoke and dust, and this overwhelming smoke and dust was constantly eating away at the blue sky and white clouds and the scorching sun overhead, constantly approaching his lonely army.

"We are surrounded...... the screams of the allied soldiers were chaotic and terrifying, the howls were deafening, everyone was shrouded in the shadow of death, and the rumbling drums of war were quietly lost in the huge howl.

"My lord, we are not surrounded by a pack of wild wolves, but by a pack of evil tigers." Ji Ling cried with a sad face, looked at the iron horse that rushed out of the smoke and dust, and shook his head again and again in disbelief,

"Ten thousand iron horsemen? How much more than 10,000 iron horsemen? Kuai Yue, this blind man, does he have eyes on the door of his head? "An army of 70,000 iron cavalry rushed out of the horizon from all sides, rushing out of the billowing smoke and dust.

"Uh......h Woo ......" horns rang out in all directions, resounding through the sky. Li Hong hit his horse and rushed up the dirt slope and raised his eyes to look at the battlefield.

Seventy thousand iron horsemen lined up in a circle between heaven and earth, and the colorful banners hunted and hunted, like a burning flame surrounding the United Legion.

In the center of the two-mile radius, the coalition forces were shrinking their positions and intending to hold on to the death. Sai Feng held high the Black Panther battle flag and followed closely behind Li Hong.

Sima Yi, Wei Yan, Fu Gan, and Wang Ling were dressed in military uniforms, and stood on the horse's side and around Li Hong. The soldiers of the Hu Cavalry Battalion, these Black Panther Volunteers who had followed Li Hong to fight all over the world, lined up behind, and their morale was like a rainbow.

"Uh......h Woo ......" a long horn sounded one after another. The generals of the unified army of all ministries were urging Li Hong to attack immediately, attack immediately.

Li Hong turned his head to look at Sima Yi and the others, and smiled at them.

"Follow me, follow me, don't leave." The four of them nodded their heads one after another, and the tension before the fierce battle almost made them almost breathless.

This is a battle of 70,000 iron cavalry, a great battle of unprecedented scale. The coalition battlefield was chaotic, and the drums of war were disheveled.

The officers and men of all armies were in danger and desperately squeezed towards the center of the battle formation, as if this could alleviate the panic in their hearts.

Yuan Shao stood under the big horse, looking at the dense northern frontier iron cavalry around him, and he had already figured it out.

Today's battle was expected in Hebei. For a long time, everyone thought that Hebei's troops were insufficient, even including many officials of the Jinyang court, but everyone was fooled, and no one thought that Li Hong would transfer troops from the desert.

It has been a long time since the Hu tribes were recruited from the Hu tribes, but in the past, the imperial court recruited the Huns, Karasuma and Qiang people to defend the border, to resist the invasion of other Hu tribes, and to quell the rebellion in the border counties.

Very few people dared to transfer the Hu iron cavalry to fight in the border counties within the Great Wall, and even less did anyone dare to transfer the Hu iron cavalry to fight in the Central Plains.

It is precisely because there has never been such a precedent in history, and it is precisely because no one would have thought that Li Hong would dare to recruit the Hu people to go south to the Central Plains to fight the Han people, so people did not expect that Hebei would have the opportunity to carry out a fatal blow.

Defeated, the Central Plains War was lost. Yuan Shao looked up to the sky and sighed, extremely depressed in his heart. At this moment, he hated Li Hong very much, and he wanted to eat him alive.

Failure is acceptable to you, but you really can't tolerate defeating yourself with Hu people. Why do you use Hu people to fight Han people?

For hundreds of years, the Hu people on the desert frequently invaded and slaughtered countless people of the Han Dynasty, and the hatred with the Han Dynasty was as deep as the sea.

Today, in order to usurp Sheji, you actually borrowed troops from the desert to go south to slaughter the Han people, are you still a Han person?

Do you still have the conscience of the Han people?

"My lord, Li Hong, a traitor, actually borrowed troops to wreak havoc in the Central Plains." Lu Su pointed ahead and roared angrily,

"We fought with him, killed this shameless traitor, killed him." Although Tao Yi, Meng Dai, Ji Ling, Sun Fu and others showed despair on their faces, they were also filled with righteous indignation in their hearts.

Hu people, I actually saw tens of thousands of Hu people riding iron horses in the Central Plains, and today I want to be buried under the iron hooves of Hu people, even if I die, I am unwilling.

When Dong Zhuo was in turmoil, when he was forced back to Guanzhong in desperation, he never went to Xiliang to seconded the Qiang people to fight.

Today's Li Hong is so mad that he can really be said to be the first rebellion in the four hundred years of this dynasty.

"Drumming...... Drum ......" Yuan Shao suddenly raised his hands and roared wildly,

"Today I swear to fight to the death with Li Hong, and I swear to fight to the death......"

"Fight to the death......" Ji Ling and the others shouted loudly, and Pegasus galloped into their own formations. Fierce and majestic war drums rose into the sky.

Li Hong looked up at the blue sky. Emperor You're in the spirit of the sky, your brothers are in the spirit of the sky, bless the Han, bless the soldiers of the Han, bless me...... Li Hong slowly raised his spear.

Hundreds of hornmen raised their horns. Li Hong strangled the reins with his left hand and kicked the horse's belly with his right foot. The war horse was in pain, and suddenly stood upright, looking up and neighing.

"Kill ......" Li Hong waved his spear, hoarse,

"Killing ......" war horse took off into the air, rushed to the dirt slope, and galloped towards the battlefield.

"Uh......h Woo ......" The horn of the charge suddenly resounded through the sky.

"......Boom" The 70,000 iron cavalry army slowly started at the sound of the horn, just like a flood that broke the embankment and broke through the embankment, making a roar that shook the heavens and the earth.

Li Hong took the lead, firmly controlled the speed of the war horse, and led the army to advance rapidly. Sima Yi, Wei Yan, Fu Gan, Wang Ling, Xian Feng and others were all participating in such a large-scale iron cavalry battle for the first time, and they roared excitedly, and the blood in their bodies boiled with the wind whistling in their ears.

Zhao Yun's expression was grim, and his strong body rose and fell with the galloping warhorse. His eyes were always on the rebel army in front of him, that was his goal, he was going to be the first to kill there.

In the deafening roar, Liu Ming raised his spear and stabbed the arc Ding beside him,

"How long has it been since you've seen anything like this?"

"It's been ten years." Arc Ding yelled at him,

"After the Battle of Sunset Plain, the general has never led us to fight so happily."

"I guess there won't be any more in the future." Qi Shen put the war knife on his shoulder, and shouted at Liu Ming,

"After this battle, we can live a stable life in the desert for a while."

"This is our last battle." Arc Ding laughed,

"The Last Battle." His face was like frost, and he looked at the countless black panther battle flags in front of him and behind him, and for the first time he felt a sense of awe.

Over the past ten years, I have fought with the general several times, and each time it has ended in failure, but I have never felt so scared and frightened as I am today.

Came all the way to the Central Plains, and the first time he rushed to the battlefield was to encircle and annihilate, and everything was under the control of the general.

To be an enemy of such a person is to kill yourself at all. Murong Feng on the desert was so powerful back then, but in the end he was still defeated by the general, and died in the battle of Sunset Plain, and the rising star Kirby Xiong was driven to the desolate Daxianbei Mountain by the general.

If it weren't for the general's nostalgia, Kirby Bear's kid would probably have been in a different place a long time ago. After this battle, the general will sweep the world, and our days in Liaodong will get better and better.

Following the Great Shogun and following the Great General may be a guarantee that our generation of Karasuma people will be able to live a stable life.

"Uh......h ......The horn sounded again, piercing through the thick roar and reaching every corner of the battlefield.

Suddenly he raised his spear and looked back and shouted,

"Accelerate, accelerate...... the earth trembled violently, and every soldier of the coalition could feel his heartbeat intensify madly with the trembling ground.

The Iron Cavalry Army set off a huge wave like a terrifying tsunami, and smashed it with a overwhelming force.

Yuan Shao's face was colorless, and his tall body curled up involuntarily, as if he wanted to find a gap in survival in a desperate situation.

Ji Ling, Sun Fu, Lu Su and the others were all heartbroken, they had never seen such a thrilling scene, and they felt for the first time that it was so terrifying when death stuck their necks.

The coalition soldiers let out a cry of despair, and they flinched back desperately, squeezing desperately backwards.

Every inch of retreat seemed to give them hope of survival, and for this little hope, someone raised his weapon and slashed his brother in robe like a madman.

The speed of the horses became faster and faster, and the iron cavalry soldiers lay on their horses, urging the horses to reach their maximum speed.

The roar suddenly rose, and the heavens and the earth shook in an instant.

"Whew...... Ho ......" Li Hong brandished his spear and shouted wildly,

"Whew...... Ho ......"

"Hohoo ......" the black panther servants raised their weapons and shouted wildly with all their strength,

"Ho Ho ......"

"Whew...... Ho ......" 70,000 soldiers echoed at the same time, like thousands of heavenly thunder exploding in the sky over the battlefield, and the wind and clouds changed in an instant, and the heavens and the earth were moved.

"Whew...... Ho ......" The roar of 70,000 soldiers and the galloping sound of 70,000 war horses finally converged into an invincible sound, which exploded in the center of the battlefield.

The coalition forces collapsed suddenly. The Jiujiang soldiers on the left flank of the formation took the lead in turning around and attacking the main formation. The formation was in chaos, and nearly 10,000 people then turned around and attacked the middle battle.

The middle battle was Yuan Shao's army, and they couldn't hold on, and they were immediately torn apart. The Jiangdong Army on the right flank suddenly lost its mind when it saw the chaos in the battle formation, shouted and shouted frantically, and scattered in a hurry.

The iron cavalry of the northern frontier slaughtered from all sides, and there was no place to escape, and the Jiangdong soldiers immediately roared and rushed to the center.

In desperation, some soldiers climbed the flagpole of the central battle. The high flagpole seemed to be the only place to escape at the moment, so more people rushed to the flagpole.

Daxu was overwhelmed and collapsed.

"Kill in, kill in......" Li Hong saw the chaos of the coalition army, and immediately ordered all units to give up cavalry and shoot and charge directly into battle.

"Kill, kill at will......" The 70,000 iron cavalry army was magnificent, roaring in, and the flesh and blood flew in an instant.
