Xu Rong, Dian Wei, Cao Xing, and Xian Yuyin led 18,000 cavalry from the northern frontier. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xu Rong did not immediately command the army to attack, but ordered Cao Xing and Xian Yuyin to lead an army to cut off Gao Gan's retreat.

At this moment, Zhang Liao's army in the east has appeared, and the more than 60,000 troops of the Ninth Army and the Tenth Army of the Infantry led by Xie Xuan and Li Guangbi will be able to arrive later.

………………

Gao Gan was in high spirits, galloping back and forth in the formation, encouraging the officers and soldiers of all departments to stick to the battle formation, and he said loudly: "The Xiliang Army has established the advantage of victory in the middle battlefield and the left flank battlefield, as long as we drag the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army here, so that the Xiliang Army has enough time to defeat the Northern Xinjiang Army, we can win the battle of Guanzhong." ”

Gao Gan was full of confidence and said it wildly, but the soldiers under him were skeptical, after all, the Northern Xinjiang Army was constantly rushing up from all directions, which was a very big blow to the morale of the army.

But fortunately, the main force of this army turned out to be Yuan Tan's, they have been staying in Guanzhong, and they have only heard about the courage of the Northern Xinjiang Army, and have not seen with their own eyes how brave the Northern Xinjiang Army is. There are also some people who are from Nanyang's army, most of whom are newly recruited pawns, and they don't know anything about the Northern Xinjiang Army. The fearlessness of the ignorant, coupled with the fact that they had just beaten the Northern Frontier Army to a disarray, increased their confidence.

In addition, there was a group of generals who had the courage to break through the sky and scolded the Northern Xinjiang Army to bullshit, but as a result, the senior cadres miraculously stabilized the military spirit of the army.

Xu Rong did not rush to attack, and gave Gao Gan time to deploy troops to strengthen the battle formation.

Gao Gan deployed Nanyang's army in the middle of the battle formation, so that they would not destroy the battle formation because they fled in fear after the fierce battle began. The army of Guanzhong was deployed on the periphery. Dozens of rushing carts and more than 200 baggage carts were scattered and placed, although the number of vehicles was not enough, but this array was enough to block and slow down the cavalry's attack.

The arrival of Zhang Liao's army made Gao Gan's self-confidence less and less.

Judging from the current deployment of troops on the battlefield, Li Yi has obviously made all the preparations carefully, and he has long been determined to fight this battle and win all the battles. Now he is surrounded by the cavalry of the Northern Frontier Army, and it is difficult to break through and join Han Sui.

"General, what if Han Sui is unwilling to save us and escapes by chance?" Zhang Nan asked nervously.

Gao Gan stood in front of the formation, the horsewhip in his hand gently patted his thigh, and said with a wry smile: "What should I do?" How do you say? ”

"Han Sui is a capricious villain. If this battle is lost, he will not be able to hold Guanzhong, and he will definitely return to Hebei. Deng Sheng said hatefully, "I think, if Han Sui hasn't been killed by dusk, let's break through overnight." It's better to break out at night than at night, and we'll be able to escape more or less partially. ”

Gao Gan sneered: "Do you think Hebei will trust Han Sui? ”

He raised his horsewhip and patted Deng Sheng's shoulder and said, "If you were Li Yi, what would you do at this time today?" Will you still let Han Sui escape back to the Western Frontier? ”

"I'll grab him, cook him and feed it to the dogs." Deng Sheng gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes." Gao Gan said, "So, Han Sui will definitely come to save us." ”

Gao Gan's words made a group of Yuan army generals feel a little more at ease.

………………

On the other side, the cavalry army of Northern Xinjiang successfully joined Yue Fei's army, and a group of generals such as Yue Fei, Zhang Liao, and Xu Rong gathered in one place to discuss the method of attacking.

Xu Rong tilted his head, took a closer look at the battle formation of the Yuan army two hundred steps ahead, and suddenly laughed, and then laughed wildly: "Haha......"

Yue Fei, Zhang Liao and the others looked at Xu Rong in surprise, looking at each other, not knowing what funny thing he had discovered.

"Gao Gan is a turtle." Xu Rong raised his horsewhip, pointed to the battle formation of Yuan Jun and said, "I want this turtle." ”

"Brother Ziyao, this turtle is very big, you don't want to be bitten by it if you can't eat it." Yue Fei said with a smile.

"No......" Xu Rong turned to face the generals, "To fight Guanxi and Luoyang, we need a lot of troops, so no matter how big this turtle is, we must catch it." ”

"Brother Ziyao, we have at least seventy or eighty thousand people surrounded, and if we want to trap them here all the time, we need at least about the same number of troops as them. But in this way, we were dragged here by Gao Gan, and Han Sui and the Xiliang army could withdraw to Chang'an with a swagger. Yue Fei said dissatisfiedly, "Could it be that Brother Ziyao wants to fight another battle under Chang'an City?" ”

"What? Are you worried that I deliberately let Han Sui go? Xu Rong shook his head with a smile and said to Yue Fei, "I can give you the answer now." ”

Xu Rong pointed to Gao Chong, Li Cunxiao and Dian Wei and said: "Please ask the three generals to lead the iron cavalry of the pro-guard army, immediately enter the middle road, cooperate with the army of Gao Changgong, Huangfu Li and Huang Zhong, surround Ma Chao and Yan Xing, and cut them down for me." ”

The three of them agreed with a bang, turned their horses' heads, and each led two thousand heavy cavalry of the pro-guard army to fly away.

………………

Xie Xuan and Li Guangbi arrived with the 9th and 10th Infantry Corps.

Gao Gan looked at the battle flag flying high in the distance with wide eyes, and was dumbfounded for a moment, and the only bit of confidence he had disappeared in an instant. He would never have dreamed that the Northern Frontier Army would dispatch so many troops, how could this be possible? At this time, how could Hebei be able to support the grain and grass of so many troops?

"How many troops does Li Yi still have in his hands?" Liu Shao said dumbfounded.

"Prepare for a breakout." Gao Gan suddenly shouted, "Break through immediately." ”

………………

Mid lane on the battlefield.

Ma Chao and Yan Xing reorganized their army and attacked the Northern Frontier Army again. At this moment, it is necessary to entangle Gao Changgong's cavalry and not let him have any chance to support Yue Fei on the battlefield on the right flank.

Huang Zhong's army was badly damaged, and although it was replenished with weapons, the soldiers were exhausted and in need of regrouping, so he gave the order to retreat before the Xiliang people attacked.

As soon as the infantry army withdrew, the cavalry immediately spread out from both wings, and the infantry cavalry formed a geese marching battle formation and slowly retreated.

Ma Chao in front, Yan Xing in the back, the two armies fought bravely in a cone-shaped battle formation, and in the loud sound of the horn, the Xiliang people rolled up layers of smoke and dust like a howling ghost wind, and plunged into the enemy formation.

Wang Shuang led two thousand elites back to face the battle. Yan Rou commanded the cavalry to block the enemy from both flanks. The two sides were evenly matched, and the flesh and blood were flying.

Huang Zhong commanded the main force of the army to retreat another two hundred steps and approached the city.

At this time, Huang Zhong finally gave the order again:

"Drums, arrays...... Preparing for a counteroffensive ......"

"Put up the banner of the Black Tiger and ask for the main support."

……

The flag is like a forest, dancing wildly in the wind.

Huangfu Li and Han Xian led 5,000 troops to line up outside the West City Gate, quietly waiting for the moment of attack.

The war drums of "Dong Dong ......" thundered, and the 5,000-strong army shouted in unison, rushing to the battlefield.

Yan Xing was shocked, reined in the war horse, turned around and shouted: "Urgently report to the lord, there are still enemy troops in the city, they are detouring on my flank, the middle road is very likely to be surrounded, the situation is critical, please ask him to support quickly." ”

"Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet, let Ma Chao withdraw, withdraw ......"

Ma Chao and the army were already fighting with the Northern Xinjiang Army at this moment, and the soldiers on both sides were galloping back and forth on the battlefield, and they couldn't withdraw at all.

Yan Xing was so anxious that he watched as the reinforcements from the northern frontier rushed across the open area between the left flank battlefield and the middle battlefield.

If they were allowed to rush behind their backs to set up a blocking battle formation, the retreat of the army would be cut off. He could only say loudly to the herald again: "Quick, blow the trumpet again, blow the trumpet, tell Ma Chao that we are leaving, please leave the battlefield immediately, and withdraw immediately." ”

Ma Chao heard the horn of retreat, but Gao Changgong was not far ahead, and he didn't want to lose this good opportunity to kill Gao Changgong.

Gao Changgong is one of the top generals in Northern Xinjiang, and he is in the high position of the general of the Northern Expedition, if he can kill Gao Changgong, it will inevitably deal a serious blow to the morale of the Northern Xinjiang Army, and he may win more with less and achieve remarkable results on the battlefield in the middle.

This kind of temptation made Ma Chao a little uncontrollable, and he shouted loudly: "Kill, kill...... Kill him, and surround him for me. ”

Seeing Ma Chao swarming with the Xiliang cavalry, Gao Changgong smiled proudly and slowly retreated towards Huang Zhong's infantry array.

As long as Ma Chao and his subordinates are lured into the battle array, with this large array composed of more than 10,000 foot soldiers, the Northern Frontier Army can completely trap Ma Chao and annihilate his army in the array.

Ma Chao's cavalry did not retreat, but advanced, forcing and killing step by step. Under the command of Gao Changgong, the cavalry of Northern Xinjiang gradually divided into two, one began to drive Ma Chao's army into the horse rejection array, and the other began to divide Ma Chao and Yan Xing, and launched a more fierce attack on Ma Chao and Yan Xing's army.

Yan Xing kept looking back, and at the same time frequently urged Ma Chao to retreat, and time was quietly lost.

Huang Fu Li led the army to march six hundred paces, then turned and cut horizontally into the middle of the battlefield.

Yan Xing couldn't hold back any longer. If the army encircles the Northern Frontier Army in front and rear, it will not only be difficult to break through, but also may be completely annihilated, so he decisively ordered loudly: "Turn the horse's head, kill it, crush the enemy, and ...... quickly."

More than 2,000 cavalry soldiers followed Yan Xing, quickly left the battlefield, and roared towards Huangfu Li's army.

Huangfu Li's army rushed all the way, the soldiers were out of breath, and their foothold was not stable, and if Yan Xing was killed head-on at this time, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses.

"General Han, you quickly line up with your foot soldiers." Huangfu Li shouted at Han Xian, "I'll take someone to the top." ”

The drums are dense, the horns are long, and the flags of all colors are waving in the wind.

The First Legion is worthy of the soldiers brought out by Yue Fei, and the soldiers are not chaotic in the face of danger, in an orderly manner, and quickly lined up.

Huangfu Li rushed out of the battle formation with 1,500 elite cavalry, and they spread their huge wings like soaring eagles, stretched out their sharp front paws, and struck down against their prey.

"Shoot ...... Shoot ......" Huangfu Li waved his spear and roared in a loud voice, "Shoot intensively, ......" (to be continued.) )
