Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 10 Winning the Central Plains Section 39

Chapter 10: Winning the 39th section of the Central Plains to the southeast of the battlefield. After all the 60,000 cavalry troops of the Northern Xinjiang Army entered the battlefield, the scope of the battlefield expanded rapidly, and the fields within a radius of two or three miles were densely covered with banners, and the sea of people was like a tide, which was magnificent for a while.

The armies of Yang Feng and Hua Xiong were badly damaged, and the soldiers were exhausted, and they had lost the strength to fight again, so they were ordered to retreat and rest.

Xian Yuyin and Guo Hua led 10,000 Youzhou troops, and Liu Bao and Liu Ming led 10,000 iron cavalry to deploy in the southwest of the battlefield, cutting off the road for Gao Gan to retreat to the middle battlefield to meet Han Sui.

Zhang He led an army of 10,000 Handan battalions, and Pang De led 5,000 cavalry to deploy in the southeast of the battlefield, cutting off the road for Gao Gan to retreat to the Weishui River.

Gao Lan and Lei Chong led 10,000 troops of the Dongwuyang battalion to deploy in the northeast direction of the battlefield, and Ko Yi personally commanded the 5,000 Xianbei cavalry with more steps to deploy the formation in the northwest direction of the battlefield.

After helping Yan Rou and He Feng to encircle and annihilate Ma Chao, he immediately returned to the battlefield on the left flank, led 10,000 iron cavalry directly to the southwest of the battlefield, and joined the army of Xian Yuyin and Liu Bao to block Gao Gan's breakthrough.

After receiving the order from Koji Yoshi, the various units rushed to the predetermined position one after another, preparing to encircle and annihilate the enemy army. After Gao Gan decided to break through immediately, he immediately ordered Deng Sheng to lead 5,000 elite troops to attack the front army in the southwest direction, open the passage to the middle battlefield as soon as possible to meet Han Sui, and ordered Wang Mo to lead 3,000 elite cavalry to protect the two wings of Deng Sheng's army.

These 3,000 elite cavalry turned out to be Yuan Tan's army, and Yuan Tan left it to Gao Gan after leaving Guanzhong. Now that the war has reached a life-and-death juncture, Gao Gan did not hesitate to push them all to the forefront.

Gao Gan also ordered Zhang Nan to lead 5,000 troops to make a feint attack in the southeast direction to contain the forces of the Northern Xinjiang Army. Xin Bi led 5,000 troops to hold on to the chariot formation, blocking the diversion attack of the Northern Xinjiang Army from the east and north.

Gao Ganqin led an army of 18,000 to respond in the center, and erected five double-rabbit banners in the Chinese army to urgently ask Han Sui for help.

The final decisive battle between the two sides kicked off with the deafening beat of drums. Gao Gan's army attacked in both the southwest and southeast directions of the battlefield.

Xian Yuyin had just led the army to the blocking position, his foothold was not stable, and the battle formation was not lined up, so if he rushed to meet the battle, he would be hit hard.

"Quick, pull up the goshawk banner, please Da Danyu immediately send elite iron cavalry to block and kill the enemy army, and buy time for me to build a formation."

"Lord Guo, please bring two thousand elites, take the lead in meeting the enemy, block the enemy's assault front army in front of the formation, and prevent them from approaching the formation." Guo Hua agreed, and galloped away to the front of the formation.

"Drumming, drumming...... Ordered all departments to speed up the formation. Hurry, hurry up, ......" Liu Bao, who had already arrived at the designated position, saw the infantry standing up in the large array

The banner of "Goshawk" immediately ordered Liu Ming, the king of the right sage, and Hu Yan Yuanjia, the general of the left, to each lead 2,000 elite iron cavalry to attack the enemy's two wings, and ordered the left Dadanghu Lanrong to lead 2,000 cavalry to slowly advance to the middle battlefield to block the enemy's reinforcements.

He took 4,000 cavalry soldiers to line up on the left and right sides of the Youzhou Army to help the Youzhou Army quickly build a formation. The horn sounded, and the Huns took the lead.

Liu Ming and Hu Yan Yuanjia each led their men and horses, roaring all the way like two hurricanes, and quickly killed the enemy formation.

Wang Mo saw it from a distance, and with an order, the three thousand elite horsemen were divided into two and roared to meet them. The two sides immediately became a mess.

Deng Sheng's assault front army and Guo Hua's Youzhou elite collided head-on. Sergeant Yuan was red-eyed and sacrificed his life to fight.

At this time, if you want to survive, you have to kill it, and you have to kill it quickly. The longer it is trapped, the more obvious the advantages of the Northern Frontier Army are, and the slimmer the hope of survival.

Although the Northern Xinjiang Army now has more troops than the Yuan Army, its advantages are limited, and it does not trap the absolute grasp of the Yuan Army, and it is even more difficult to completely annihilate it.

However, once the Northern Frontier Army won victories on other battlefields, reinforcements continued to arrive, and the advantage in strength became greater and greater, then Yuan's army was doomed.

Sergeant Yuan was in the place of death, and if he wanted to put him to death and survive, the only way to escape from the cage was to break the cauldron and step on the opponent's corpse.

The war drums of the "knock ......" charge were like overwhelming thunder, sweeping across the battlefield one after another.

The earth-shattering sound of "kill, kill, kill......" drowned out all the sounds on the battlefield, and it broke through the arrows in the sky and soared straight into the sky like a stone splitting cloud.

Deng rose to the forefront, rushing to the forefront. The generals of all departments forgot about life and death, and led the soldiers who had fallen into madness to fight bravely, advancing step by step.

The army led by the senior cadres followed closely, and the teams of fierce soldiers stared at the bloody battlefield, ready to support at any time, and cut down all the enemies who stood in the way of survival.

Zhang Nan led the army out of the car formation, and pounced on the opponent with great momentum, completely in a desperate posture. Zhang He's army had just arrived in the southeast of the battlefield, he heard the drums in the enemy formation like thunder, and the enemy troops swarmed out, and hurriedly let Hou Cheng, Xu Yan, and Zhao Xuan line up the three overseers, and he rushed to the front with a team of personal guards.

Pound had already lined up his army and was ready to attack before the enemy could reach the blocking position.

Zhang He glanced at the rushing enemy for a moment, turned his head and said to Pang De: "The rebels are trying to survive, and they look very fierce, but have you noticed that this is a containment army, and the direction of Gao Gan's breakthrough is not here." ”

"Their formation is very chaotic, and it is indeed not like the main assault force." Pound looked at it carefully and said with a smile,

"It's better for us to defeat them quickly, so that we can deal a heavy blow to the morale of the enemy."

"I'll stay here, and you command the iron cavalry to cut diagonally from the enemy's flanks and cut it off at the waist." Zhang He raised the horsewhip in his hand, pointed ahead, and said easily,

"Five thousand iron horsemen are enough."

"What about you? Did you then kill the enemy army that surrounded it? ”

"Yes, there's no need to line up." Zhang He waved his hand and said,

"I command an army of 10,000 to surround from three sides, and I will definitely be able to completely annihilate the enemy."

"Okay, I'll kill it first." Pound arched his hand at Zhang He, and then looked back and shouted,

"Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet...... Attack, attack, attack......" Seeing Gao Gan's army breaking through, Koji immediately ordered Gao Ran, who was deployed in the northeast of the battlefield, to attack the enemy formation, asking them to quickly tear apart the enemy's chariot formation and open up an attack channel for his 5,000 iron cavalry.

Gao Lan, Lei Chong, Shaun, and Meng Si each brought 2,500 men and launched an attack on the enemy formation at the same time. There were only 5,000 people in Xinbi, and all of them were new soldiers brought from Nanyang, so they were seriously inexperienced in combat.

When they saw the Northern Xinjiang Army attacking from all directions and rushing over like fierce tigers, many soldiers were so frightened that they fled from the car formation.

Huang Tong panted and rushed to the side of a rushing car, raised his knife to chop on the giant wood, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Shield cover, drag it away for me, drag it away......"

"My lord, we walked thousands of miles from Jizhou to Guanzhong, wouldn't we just come to push wood?" The stick held the shield above his head with one hand, and the giant wood on the rushing car with the other, and looked at the soldiers who broke into the enemy formation in front of him, and complained angrily.

"Push, push, where is the so much nonsense?" Huang Tong's eyes widened and he exclaimed,

"We still want to fight Chang'an and Luoyang, what are you anxious about? As long as you don't die, we will be able to return directly to Dongwuyang from Luoyang next year. ”

"My lord, will this battle be fought until next year?" Xiao Hei stood behind Huang Tong and asked disappointedly.

"Do you think that all battles are like these few years, and we can win them as long as we hold our weapons and run from east to west, and from west to east?" Huang Tong scoffed,

"That was in the past, and from now on, we're going to fight hard. From here to Luoyang, there are many passes, each pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and we can live to Luoyang to count our fortunes. Then he raised his leg and kicked Xiao Hei,

"What are you doing standing, kid? Give me a push. ”

"My lord, is Luoyang easy to fight?" A young soldier asked suddenly.

"Luoyang?" Huang Tong's face changed slightly, and he shook his head,

"Luoyang is too big, the city gate and the city tower are all double, the city wall is twenty feet from the ground, especially the Xia Gate, which is twenty zhang from the ground" Huang Tong seemed to think of something, and his face showed a trace ......of bitterness,

"Back then, Lord Taiwei once took us to Luoyang to fight Yuan Shao. When we passed by outside the city, that feeling ......" Huang Tong frowned, suddenly spit the ground, and roared loudly,

"What nonsense? This is a war, arrows are flying above our heads, you want to die? Push me, push hard, and ...... quickly" The iron cavalry rolled in, the roar was deafening, and Koji Yi led the army to kill quickly.

Lan Rong raised his right hand high, and the two thousand iron horsemen slowly stopped. In the distance, a large army suddenly appeared and quickly rushed towards the battlefield.

"Xiliang people." A Hun and Qu exclaimed excitedly,

"Reinforcements from the Xiliang people have arrived."

"There are so many of them that we can't stop them." Lan Rong turned his head abruptly and shouted at the herald,

"Quick, hurry up to Da Danyu, we need reinforcements, we need reinforcements."

"Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet...... Let's kill first, kill ......" The Huns accelerated suddenly, and two thousand iron horsemen galloped like flying, rolling up the sky full of smoke and dust, and fought hard against the Xiliang army.

Ma Chao led the army in a bloody battle, gradually highlighting the encirclement. Now He Feng's army couldn't move and stopped on the battlefield.

Duan Xuan's Tiger Ben elite had already lined up, but Ma Chao led the army to break through to the southeast, and it was too late to change the formation to intercept it.

Yan Rou and Huangfu Li's iron cavalry was about 6,000 people, and although the 8,000 iron cavalry of the Xiliang people suffered heavy losses after a few hours of hard fighting, and even Yan Xing was killed, they were all the elite of the Xiliang army, and there were still more than 3,000 people struggling to support them.

Yan Rou and Huangfu Li both thought that the people of Xiliang were sleepy and lacking horses, and the Northern Frontier Army had an absolute advantage in strength, and it should be no problem to surround Ma Chao, but who knew that these Xiliang people were tenacious and fought for their lives one by one, and they actually rushed out from the flank of the battlefield.

Yan Rou was furious, and he and Huangfu Li each led an army, taking advantage of the physical strength of the war horse to outflank them again.

In the open field, the three iron cavalry armies were running fast like arrows from the string. The three armies first went hand in hand, and then the northern armies on both flanks gradually overtook them, and quickly cut diagonally, and the force was combined.

Ma Chao's eyes were about to split, his whole body was lying on the horse's back, and his feet kicked the horse's belly, but the war horse really couldn't run, and his speed was getting slower and slower.

"Big brother...... You see...... The Northern Xinjiang Army ......" Ma Dai's frightened cry made Ma Chao's heart tremble, and he subconsciously stood up from the horse and looked forward.

In the distance, an army of iron cavalry rushed out. Ma Chao's mind was in a mess, and he even thought that his eyes were dazzled.

Could it be that the army of high-ranking cadres has collapsed? Annihilated in such a short time? How many Northern Xinjiang Iron Cavalry did Xu Rong bring into Guanzhong?

"My lord, turn around, turn around quickly......" Jiang Feng shouted at the top of his throat, and his scream was particularly terrifying.

"U-turn, trumpet, U-turn...... To the west, to the west, ...... to the west" Ma Chao pulled the reins of the horse with all his strength.

The war horse stood upright in pain, probably because he was too tired, and the hind legs of the war horse could not support the whole body, unexpectedly

"Boom" fell to the ground. Ma Chao's eyes were dark, and he was so angry that he almost fainted. The people of Xiliang didn't wait for the horn to sound, and they had already begun to turn around and run wildly.

Ma Chao got up in embarrassment, his helmet fell somewhere, and all the wounds on his body burst out, so painful that he bared his teeth and cracked his mouth, and opened his mouth to scream.

"Big brother......" Ma Dai circled the horse and ran back, so anxious that he roared repeatedly,

"Big brother, let's go." The war horse felt the shaking of the ground, and was frightened and frightened, and even neighed, turned over and stood up and ran.

Ma Chao was startled, the spear was stationed, his body flew into the air, he fell crookedly and fell to the horse's back, followed by a punch, and scolded.

The war horse neighed miserably, suddenly exerted force, and its four hooves flew away.

"Go, go, go west, go west...... the horn sounded wildly, and the hurried voice was full of anger. The Northern Frontier Iron Cavalry turned around sharply.

Yan Rou and Huangfu Li trembled with anger, eager to kill them immediately and cut them to pieces.

"Chase, catch up, kill them......" At this moment, He Feng's army was arrayed in the north of the battlefield, Duan Xuan's army was in the south of the battlefield, Yan Rou and Huangfu Li's iron cavalry had already chased to the southeast of the battlefield, Ma Chao suddenly turned around and headed west, and no army could stop him, and he rushed out of the battlefield before his eyes.

Yan Rou and Huangfu Li chased after each other, relying on the speed of the war horse to cover all the way. Lei Zi, Tie Yue, and Nie Xiao slowed down the march of the army.

The situation on the battlefield in the middle is clear at a glance, and the battle is nearing the end at this moment, although the Xiliang people have escaped from the encirclement, but the losses are too heavy and they have lost their combat effectiveness.

After the battle on the battlefield in the middle lane, the armies of Yan Rou and Huangfu Li could immediately move to other battlefields to fight, and the Northern Frontier Army had completely controlled the situation on the battlefield by this point.

"We can go back." Lei Zi waved his hand at the horn soldier behind him, and smiled at Tie Yue,

"Order the army to return immediately, lest the senior cadres escape."

"If Gao Gan runs away, he will lose face to Lord Koji, and our life will be sad in the future." Tie Yue turned the horse's head and laughed loudly,

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't delay any longer." Jump to
