………………………………………………………………………………………………

With the participation of the Youzhou Army's iron cavalry, the Gehe battlefield was like a pot of steaming boiling water, fierce and bloody.

The archers on the riverbank, under the command of Zhang Jiao, fired at the cavalry of the Youzhou Army on their horses.

Li Yi's spear flew out, piercing a Yellow Turban soldier who was wielding a knife to kill. Then he discarded his spear and drew his sword, and flew off his horse.

The cavalry, which had lost its speed and impact, was inferior to a foot pawn, and everyone was huddled together, unable to move an inch. To ride on a horse is to serve as a target for the enemy's archers. Therefore, there is a clear rule in the Youzhou army that when the cavalry has to enter a state of positional warfare, the horse must be abandoned.

With Li Yi's abandonment of the horse, the cavalry of the Youzhou Army who followed behind him also dismounted and fought on foot. In just a moment, the battlefield suddenly lost the fierce iron cavalry warrior. They jumped off their horses one after another, with swords in one hand and shields in the other, and in groups of three or five, they pounced on the gap in the chariot formation.

Li Zhong casually threw away the big knife. In the face of dense enemy soldiers, the broadsword is completely useless, but it is a burden. He pulled out the sword at his waist, let out a roar of rage, and flew forward to kill a Yellow Turban soldier who had attacked Li Xin.

"Kill...... Kill into the car formation......" Li Xin picked up a big hand, and while smashing it randomly, he opened his throat and shouted, "Kill...... Kill ......"

Li Yi was a few steps away from Li Xin. With a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, he led a group of soldiers into the gap in the chariot formation like an awl.

The left and right flanks of the Youzhou Army's iron cavalry are Zhao Yun and Shan Jing of the Chinese Army respectively. They also saw the gap in the Yellow Turban Army Tank Formation. If you want to quickly defeat Zhang Jiao's army, breaking through this hole may be the key. As long as the chariot formation is broken through, the chariot formation is removed, and the cavalry rushes up without hindrance, and the Yellow Turban Army is finished.

"Order the army, at all costs, to storm the vehicle formations on both sides and cover the front army to tear open the enemy's mouth." Zhao Yun turned around and shouted to the horn soldier behind him.

When he heard Zhao Yun's order, he roared wildly: "Brothers, kill, kill......"

The drums and horns of the charge rose to the sky. On the chaotic battlefield, the cavalry on both flanks began to accelerate and charge.

Zhao Yun and Shan Jing led the soldiers to continuously attack the enemy formation, brave and fearless, and the momentum was amazing. The Yellow Turban soldiers behind the formation had to temporarily stop supporting the direction of the gap in the formation and concentrate on dealing with the cavalry charge.

Li Zhong was the first to rush to the side of the carriage, and along the way he was stabbed three times by the enemy, and although the wound was not deep, it was dripping with blood.

"Pull the cart, pull the ......"

Li Zhong kept yelling at the soldiers behind him.

With a roar of rage, Li Yi's round shield smashed a stabbed enemy and stood next to the carriage on the other side.

The Yellow Turban soldiers went crazy. They roared and swarmed up. Failure to close this gap will have catastrophic consequences.

Li Zhong smashed open a stabbing spear with a punch, and the war knife in his hand had already penetrated the chest of the enemy soldier on the opposite side. He snatched the enemy's sword and cut it off with his spear.

"Kill ......"

Li Xin didn't raise his head, and smashed the enemy to death with a stick. Then four or five spears stabbed at him at the same time. Li Xin had to abandon the support and retreat in a hurry. The two warriors behind him immediately filled his vacant position, and the swords and shields were on the same page.

………………

Zhang Jiao stood silently on the bank of the Ge River, looking at the Youzhou Iron Cavalry on the hill under the command of the sound of drums and horns, reorganizing the queue. As soon as the front formation is opened, they will fall in a prank.

Zhang Jiao turned his eyes to the gap and saw that the gap was widening. Zhang Jiao didn't care about the gap, he had no intention of plugging him.

Zhang Jiao looked up at the gray sky. It's almost dusk, and victory is in hand.

The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army fought less and less, and the damage was very serious.

The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army in the valley on the east bank of the Ge River, under the command of the officers of the various departments, quickly assembled towards the riverbed. The large army that had been deployed on the riverbed earlier had all arrived on the riverbank, and most of the soldiers had already entered the battlefield.

Did Zhang Bai's army arrive at Geting? Did Yue Fei receive Li Yi's request for help and give up ambushing Zhang Baiqi?

Yue Fei's cavalry came back in a very timely manner, and if it was half a quarter of the night, the mountain would now be the Yellow Turban Army.

Zhang Jiao thought silently, his face expressionless, as if the battlefield in front of him did not exist at all.

Although Li Yi had been prepared, he was still beaten by the Yellow Turban Army. Seven thousand foot soldiers were guarding the hill, and they were continuously attacked by 40,000 troops, and their situation can be imagined.

"Zigan, how many people do we have left?" Zhang Jiao turned around and asked Xiao Yan.

"Twenty-five thousand is a little short." Xiao Yan reclined on the wheel of the carriage and said lazily.

Zhang Jiao asked again: "Let's attack again and entangle the cavalry of the Youzhou army, what do you think?" ”

Xiao Yan stood up, glanced at the Youzhou Iron Cavalry lined up on the hill with some timidity, and then looked back at his own army gathered on the riverbed, and said very cautiously: "Attack with 10,000 people, I hope this cunning Yue Pengju can be fooled." ”

………………

Yue Fei stood on the hill on the hill, condescending, and the situation of the entire Gehe battlefield could be seen clearly.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Gongsun Zhan rode their horses like flies.

"Brother Bogui, Yun Chang, Xiao Hei, you're all right." Yue Fei greeted him and asked with concern, "The lord is injured, and I let people carry him down." ”

When the three of them heard that Yue Fei was safe and sound, their hanging hearts finally fell back into their stomachs.

The battlefield is tight, and even Zhang Fei, who has always been at odds with Yue Fei, has no intention of fighting with Yue Fei at this moment.

And Gongsun Zhan, who was more anxious, asked even more anxiously: "Pengju, Zhang Baiqi's matter is solved." ”

"Fluke, fluke. It's all solved. Yue Fei said with a smile, "Wen An and Zou Dan took the captives and went in the direction of Gehe. When the encirclement is closed, they will attack from the other side of the river. ”

"You're fighting too hard." Yue Fei saw the appearance of the three of them and comforted, "How are the casualties of the soldiers?" ”

"It's over." Guan Yu smiled bitterly, "The two thousand foot soldiers are basically finished. ”

The army that Li Yi brought from Yecheng was a total of 7,000 foot soldiers, and the other 2,000 men and horses were cavalry, mainly composed of the remnants of the Changshui Battalion and the Tun Cavalry Battalion in the Northern Army, as well as some private cavalry provided by the Haoqiang Gate Lords in Jizhou.

When arranging the infantry defense, Li Yiqin led 3,000 foot soldiers to defend the middle of the hill, while Guan Yu and Zhang Fei each led 2,000 foot soldiers to defend the left and right flanks of the hill. In addition, Gongsun Zhan led 2,000 white horse servants under his command to parade and contain the right flank of the army, and Zhang Jaw, who was originally in charge of the army's food, grass and ordnance, was also given the important task of commanding the cavalry of the 2,000 coalition army by Li Yi, and roamed on the left flank of the army to contain the Yellow Turban Army. The rear army was handed over to Tian Feng, and Li Yi would not let Tian Feng, a military advisor who was not outstanding in force, personally go into battle to fight.

Gongsun Chan also shook his head and said bitterly: "There are less than a thousand people left." If you don't come back in time, I'm afraid we won't see each other. ”

Zhang Fei held his neck and tilted his head to the side without speaking. But looking at him like that, he also knows that there are not many soldiers and horses left under his command.

Yue Fei expected it to be like this, but when he heard Guan Yu and Gongsun Zhan say it with his own ears, his heart still sank.

"Pengju, use the cavalry to gnaw so many Yellow Turban Army, I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties." Guan Yu pointed to the Yellow Turban Army in the direction of Ge River, and said worriedly, "Now the Youzhou Iron Cavalry is the main force of the entire Hebei battlefield, if the losses in this battle are huge, it will be even more difficult for us to deal with the battle situation in the next few months." ”

"If you get rid of Zhang Jiao, there will be no war in Hebei. Success or not, it's up to you. Yue Fei said resolutely.

The corners of Gongsun Zhan's mouth moved, and he wanted to say something but didn't say anything.

"Brother Bogui can say anything you want?" Li Hong said with a smile.

Gongsun Zhan said with some worry: "If Zhang Jiao defends to the end, we will not be able to attack for a long time, and things will be a little troublesome." Reinforcements from the Yellow Turban Army in Ping'en's Ancient City will arrive here by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. ”

"Then we'll try to solve the problem by tomorrow morning." Yue Fei waved his hand and said confidently.
