Chapter 0037: Prelude to the Decisive Battle (First Update)

PS: Thank you for your great support yesterday, let's continue to play the game today, the rules are the same as yesterday. If you add up bigger, it depends on how enthusiastic everyone is.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Li Pengfei didn't know that someone had already regarded him as a target to catch up, and even if he knew, he was in no mood to pay attention to it at the moment. Because at the moment he was very anxious.

The Gu River is now the Baihe River in Hebei; Therefore, the road flows from the southwest of Li Sui Town in the southeast of Shunyi to the Wenyu River in the northeast of Tongxian County, which is now the North Canal.

The Gu River is not a big river, but because it is now in the wet season, and this area is a plain, the terrain is low, the water flow is slow, and the width of the river is more than a mile.

However, it was precisely because of the gentle flow that Li Pengfei dared to lead the army to cross the Gu River at night. Otherwise, with the dozen or so small boats that Zhao Yun found that were not much bigger than sampans, crossing the river at night would be a complete act of looking for death.

In a hurry, Li Pengfei finally led 4,000 iron horsemen to cross the Gu River at night and rushed to the outside of Quanzhou on the eve of dawn.

The city of Quanzhou in the night is full of flames, and the huge flames fly into the air from time to time, and the firelight is reflected on the majestic city, illuminating the bloody battlefield to the slightest.

The figures on the city wall flew up, and the troops of the Yellow Turban Army under the city wall were neatly lined up, waving flags. The fierce fighting, the loud horns, the rapid and fierce war drums, the noisy and noisy shouts...... All of them came together to form a huge roar, as if a monster had opened its bloody mouth in the dark night and roared in the sky.

Everyone vaguely saw that the battle flag of the Great Han Kingdom was still dancing wildly in the night wind, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Pengfei let out a long sigh of relief.

Finally, it was not too late, at the most critical time of Quanzhou City, he led four thousand iron horsemen, and came to the foot of Quanzhou City unconsciously.

He looked at the dense crowd of soldiers behind him in the night, and their hearts were heavy, and their worried faces were full of nervousness and worry.

These cavalrymen were all from Quanzhou, and their families and relatives were in the city. If the city is broken, the consequences are unimaginable.

Li Pengfei is also very anxious, because his relatives and all the family business are also in the city in front of him. But he knows better that as the commander of this army, he is also the backbone of the army. At this time, he must be very calm, otherwise the battle will be difficult.

After all, the Yellow Turban Army on the opposite side is not an ordinary Yellow Turban Army, and after the start of this battle, the system gives an assessment of the combat power of the enemy troops. Of the more than 50,000 enemy troops, all of them have reached the level of a preliminary army, and more than 10,000 of them are elite, and they have even reached the level of Category D troops, far exceeding Li Pengfei's initial estimate.

In the face of such an enemy, he must raise his own spirit, and at the same time, let the will to fight of the iron cavalry under his command be raised.

Li Pengfei beckoned to Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei, and the two urged the horses to gather around him.

Pretending to be very happy, Li Pengfei said with a smile: "The Yellow Turban Army is crazy, and it doesn't let the troops rest, and attacks Quanzhou City day and night, which is a big bargain for us." Although we also traveled dozens of miles and traveled a long way, and the soldiers were very hard, we were not yet exhausted. On the other hand, the Yellow Turban Army is probably too tired to stand up now. ”

Everyone laughed when they saw Li Pengfei's extremely exaggerated appearance.

"Everyone has watched it for a long time, let's talk about it, how to fight?" Li Pengfei seemed to have made up his mind, looked at everyone and said.

Zhang Fei said with a big grin: "Big brother, why bother so much, we suddenly rushed out from the place where the black goo rumbled, and we scared them to death." The victory was assured. ”

Si Swenwen's Zhao Yun also shouted arrogantly: "Everyone is lined up in a line charging formation, kill when you meet someone, cut down when you meet someone, where you still need to fight." ”

Li Pengfei smiled and said: "The arrogance of the two brothers is admired by the brothers, but this battle cannot be fought like this. Although we now have an absolute advantage, we still have to think about tactics and minimize casualties. The lives of the brothers are worth much more than those yellow turban thieves. ”

Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun exchanged an admiring look. At this time, the eldest brother still has time to discuss combat methods with everyone, and he is either an idiot who knows nothing, or a brave man with great courage.

In the eyes of the two, their eldest brother is undoubtedly the latter kind of person. With a casual move, he lured away all the scouts of the Yellow Turban Army who were monitoring near the Gu River. Seeing the large army crossing the river slowly and happily at night, you can't help but admire the people's minds are good and absolutely talented.

Li Pengfei pondered for a moment and said: "The archery troops of the Yellow Turban Army are at the forefront of their entire formation, and no matter whether we use a zigzag or a wild goose line, we cannot deal a devastating blow to them. But when we turn back for a second attack, the enemy's archery units may quickly regroup and fire heavily on our flank, which will inflict heavy casualties on our flank. ”

"So I intend to attack from the enemy's flank, in a diamond-shaped array. The left flank of the diamond-shaped array is the main vanguard, attacking the archery troops of the Yellow Turban Army first, and be sure to break them up and defeat them, so that they do not organize an effective counterattack and seriously injure our army. I myself led fifteen hundred horsemen to attack this way. ”

"The middle lane of the diamond-shaped array is also used as the main attack, and Zilong leads two thousand cavalry to attack. The enemy's fresh forces preparing to attack the city are concentrated here, and their defensive and counterattack capabilities are the most ferocious, so the attack in the middle is the most difficult. ”

"The right flank of the diamond array is an auxiliary attack. The siege troops that the Yellow Turban Army withdrew to rest are all here, and they should all be tired divisions that are unable to fight again. Once we start the raid, these weary soldiers will surely be very frightened, and may even run away. Therefore, the gap in the destruction of the enemy's overall defensive position is here. The main purpose of our army is to disperse them, to annihilate them as much as possible on the basis of dispersal. Yide led five hundred horsemen to undertake this task. ”

"What are the different opinions and opinions of the two virtuous brothers?" Li Pengfei asked.

Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun shook their heads in unison. Li Pengfei's attack methods are simple and applicable, the purpose is clear, and he is impeccable.

"Do you know what you're doing?" Li Pengfei looked at Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei and asked again, "I don't know, I can explain again." ”

Seeing that Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei were both excited and eager to try, Li Pengfei immediately smiled and waved his hand and said, "Go back and reorganize the queue." Let's disperse. ”

……

The training of the iron horsemen under Li Pengfei's command was completed by him in accordance with the training methods of later generations, and the efficiency was very high, and in less than half a cup of tea, 1,500 iron horsemen lined up neatly behind Li Pengfei's horse.

The heralds were running around in the night, a tense and busy scene before the battle.

Li Pengfei kicked the horse's belly violently, and the white dragon horse under his crotch hissed in pain, and took the lead in galloping out. Behind him, 1,500 iron horsemen followed one after another.

At the same time, Zhao Yun in the middle of the road also whipped the mount Jade Lion, and led his two thousand horsemen to set off simultaneously.

Zhang Fei's troops were basically in a line, and then his cavalry slowly sank into the boundless darkness.

Li Pengfei's heart was like water. His whole body was lying on the back of the white dragon horse, and his body rose and fell rhythmically as the white dragon horse soared. He closed his eyes, let the wind blow in his face, and comfortably enjoyed the pleasure of running freely.

It is getting closer and closer to Quanzhou City.

The soldiers could clearly hear the shouts of killing on the battlefield, the screams, the clashing of swords and guns, and the sound of drums and horns above and below the city...... You can clearly distinguish the smell of blood floating in the air, the smell of burnt trees after burning, and the misery and pain that pervades the battlefield.
