Henan has not had such a battle for a long time.
The previous battle between the Liang people and the coalition forces, although the results were amazing, was boring in terms of the process. It could be said that the veteran soldiers taught the new soldiers, and the new soldiers were pretentious and outnumbered, but they were beaten by the veteran Finding teeth on the ground is unexpected, but also reasonable.
The reason why war can be praised as an art by future generations is because of the collision of sparks of wisdom and the competition of the limits of will between the generals on both sides. These people, who are considered national heroes, used the blood of tens of thousands of people to fight in the battlefields that the ancients had fought. In the wilderness, the fate of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people is decided in one stunning battle after another.
The scene is grim yet fascinating, sad yet full of hope.
When Sun Jian saw Dong Zhuo's army, he had just led his army across Ru River. In the past few days, the breeze has gradually picked up, and there have been two bursts of light rain. Therefore, when the sun rises, there are still layers of light white mist between the sky and the earth. This light white mist is mixed with golden brilliance, surrounding the north and south. Between the peaks, you can see the infinite depression.
The shallow grass turned yellow, the trees turned red and turned yellow, and even the mountain wind blew a dry sound that was different from usual. Amidst the trampling sound of Liangren's iron hooves in the distance, it turned into large tracts of fallen autumn leaves. And in the distance, the white waves of Ru River are also followed by thousands of more sparse snowflakes.
The two armies were noticed ten miles apart. The forwards immediately stopped and reported quickly to the commanders of the two armies. Neither side expected to meet here, but they both chose to form formations on the spot, obviously planning to fight on the spot.
Sun Jian's original plan was to take advantage of Dong Zhuo being restrained by Chen Chong to surprise Guangcheng Pass at night. Guangcheng Pass is the only way for the army to go north from Jingxiang to Luoyang. It is surrounded by Waifang Mountain in the south and Ji Mountain in the north. The pass is sandwiched between the two mountains. The Kongtong Mountain where the pass is set was rumored to be the ancient immortal Guangcheng Pass. The place where Chengzi cultivated immortality became famous.
As long as Guangcheng Pass is captured, the first southern gate to Luoyang will be opened. Unexpectedly, Kongtong Mountain is right in front of us, and the Liang people's army is also very close.
Sun Jian was very happy. He said to Guan Yu: "Even if we capture Guangcheng Pass, Taigu Pass, and Yique Pass in the rear, we don't know how long it will take to reach the eastern capital. Now Dong Thief has sent the main force. It gives me a good opportunity to succeed in the battle. By then, without Tingjian taking action, I can reach Hangu Pass alone."
Dong Zhuo was also conducting temporary mobilization with his generals in front of Guangcheng Pass. He said: "We originally made a plan to wipe out Sun Jian in Luyang, but now Sun Jian has committed suicide. This is something we did not expect. But that’s also a good thing.”
After a slight pause, he continued: "We have all seen the military formation on Sun Jian's side. The numbers of both armies are about the same. His army may have slightly more, but most of them are infantry, while our army has more than 30,000 cavalry. Look, He can only have 20,000 at most. Although this place is sandwiched between two mountains, the terrain between the mountains is flat, which is perfect for us to race and fight."
Li Jue, the captain of Yique, had been guarding the pass for a long time but had no fighting. He only heard that Xu Rong, Wang Fang and others were killing all directions in the two rivers. He was already itching and unbearable. He pulled out his knife and took the initiative to ask for a fight. He said: "Our army is planning to attack the enemy. Lu Yang surrounded and annihilated Sun Jian. Who would have expected that he was so smart that he even saved us the time of rushing to attack the city. Sun Jian often compared himself to a tiger and a leopard, and would never let go until he killed his prey. We can take advantage of his temper to kill them. Kill them all!"
Everyone laughed and then returned to their respective formations. Only Xu Rong remained at the end, showing hesitation. Seeing this, Dong Zhuo waved his brocade riding whip and asked side by side: "Do you have anything to say, Commander-in-Chief?"
Xu Rong said: "Now that the battle is imminent, the plan has changed drastically. Zhang Jin's extraordinary troops sent all the way to Yangcheng are of no use. I am wondering whether I should send someone to call them back. After all, the knights under his command are in Liangren." They are also considered elite."
"They should be arriving in Yangcheng now. They are about a hundred miles apart. Can they make it in time?"
"Each of Zhang Ji's troops is equipped with two horses. You can transfer to a Mercedes-Benz, and you can still catch up. After all, Sun Jian is not a local chicken like Yuan Shao. It is impossible to say that this battle will last for several days."
Dong Zhuo felt that what Xu Rong said was reasonable, so he selected five scouts, gave each of them three horses, and ordered them to cross the Jishan Mountains and go to Yangcheng, a hundred miles away, to recall Zhang Ji.
While they were talking, Sun Jian had already completed the combat deployment. The entire army of 50,000 people was divided into twelve divisions by him. Except for the 6,000 men in the main division, the remaining divisions had 4,000 men each. The vanguard was Sima Handang from another department, followed by Sun Jian who directly took charge of the headquarters. The right wing was led by Wu Jing, the cavalry captain, who led six units. The left wing was led by Sun Bi, the captain of the Wei Army, who led four units. The guest army Guan Yu was hidden in the rear.
Considering that Ru Shui was behind him and to avoid fighting with his back to the water, Sun Jian deliberately ordered his army to challenge first. There happened to be a tributary of Ru River on Sun Jian's left side, so he ordered his army to form parallel formations along this tributary. At this time, the mist had dissipated, and Sun Jian himself paused his headquarters on a hill, facing Kongtong Mountain in the distance. Between the two mountains, the battle line of tens of thousands of people changed, and with frequent footsteps, waves of gray and yellow dust mist rose. , which is both a prelude and a prelude to the coming war.
In this last gap, Dong Zhuo's army erected a two-foot-high military canopy, and then erected two large flags with a purple background and white edges, one for quelling chaos and the other for suppressing rebellion. When Sun Jian saw the banner, he didn't understand what was going on. He couldn't help but smile and said, "It turns out that the traitor Dong is here in person! Major events in the world can be decided in one battle!" He turned back to Zu Mao and said, "If you pass on the order, we can capture or kill him alive." Whoever kills Dong Zhuo in formation will be rewarded with ten thousand red gold!" Then he even set up his Polu banner behind him.
Dong Zhuo originally planned to move first, but because of the mountain pass, his team had to reduce the width of the team, so that the team was stretched from end to end, as much as twenty miles. This resulted in that when Sun Jian completed the change of formation, Dong Zhuo still had more than 10,000 men who had just entered the battlefield, thus losing the opportunity. But time waits for no one, so Han quickly leads the vanguard with a spear and kills them right in front of him.
The vanguard of Dong Zhuo's army was Li Jue. He and Guo Si were both known as the most adept generals among the Liang people. He saw that Han Dang's military formation moved first, but his body was as unwavering as an iron tower. He said to the soldiers around him: "Save some strength, there are only thousands of people, but the remaining blood on the tip of my sword, I have to go to the opposite side." Go up the mountain and capture Sun Wentai alive!" Han Dang followed Sun Jian on his campaigns in the north and south for more than ten years. He took many risks and got into trouble, captured the enemy in battle, and made many military exploits. Therefore, he knew that such a large-scale army would be difficult to penetrate with one blow, so he planned to cut in diagonally to divide the battlefield and separate Dong Zhuo's forward and main force.
Although Dong Zhuo repeatedly warned his generals not to underestimate the enemy, how could the Liang people not be arrogant after winning for half a year? Han Dang originally thought that there would be some obstruction from the front line, but what Liang Ren wanted was to let him in and fight, just in time for a showdown! Han Dang's four thousand forwards drove almost all the way, cutting a striking diagonal line directly into the Liang army.
This scene can be clearly seen on Kongtong Mountain. Dong Zhuohu was sitting on a horse. He was so angry that he kept hitting the rock with a bamboo stick. He loudly cursed Hu Zhen beside him: "What kind of tactics is this? He expects to lead everyone like this. Army charge?"
But he could only curse on the mountain. Once the war started, the direction of the war no longer depended on the commander-in-chief, but followed the judgment of the frontline officers. Dong Zhuo did not intervene before the battle. He knew that it was taboo to repeat the battle before the battle. At this time, he could only continue to trust Li Jue and at the same time urged the sergeants at the rear to quickly enter. Array.
When Han Dang's first impact was over, Liang Ren did not suffer much damage because he avoided it in time.
Li Jue saw that half of the enemy cavalry had fallen into the formation, while Sun Jian's main force at the rear was still watching. He couldn't help but said in frustration: "Is Sun Wentai so cautious?" Then he shook his shoulders and stretched his muscles. The armor plates all over his body were agitated by his murderous aura. The horses also neighed loudly. Even if Han Dang cut his troops away from the main force, he did not panic at all, but cheered up.
The Liang people's thousands of cavalry finally surged, their flags facing the wind, like a giant earth-black dragon crawling on the ground, horse hooves flying, not only the mud and dust rose into the sky, but also the forest birds in the wilderness flapped their wings, forming a circle under the sky where the two armies were fighting. A huge dark cloud, they circle and circle, bringing a shadow to the battlefield, as if the end of the world is coming today. At the moment when the birds dispersed, the sun shone more intensely, and the war horses collided. Suddenly the armor light was dazzling, the blades were shining, and the people screamed and the horses neighed, and there was a chaos.
Han Dang's attack was enough to draw a mile-long front among the Liang people. He himself was surprised that it was so smooth, but when he saw that the enemy army in front of him not only showed no fear, but instead roared and came towards him with a look of sarcasm on his face, Han Dang suddenly realized it. He said to his son Han Cheng with a smile : "Are the Liang dogs so arrogant?" He immediately rode forward and started a hand-to-hand fight with Liang Ren.
His armor was painted bright yellow, his coat was tasseled with red tassels, and his mount was covered with bison hide to protect him from sword damage. At first glance, he was an extraordinary general under Sun Jian. A dozen Liangqi rushed towards him. When Han Dang saw that they were simply dressed, he immediately gave a loud shout, grabbed his Zhangzhang long spear, and pointed the tip of the spear at the two people in front. The two knights were on the left and the other on the right. The knight on the right was shot first. Han Dang shot his throat with one shot, and then the second shot passed the other man's armpit. Just as the man was about to move, Han Dang shook the gun barrel and struck. The knight's shoulder blades felt severe pain in Liang Qi's shoulder, and the horse slowed down. Han Dang immediately turned the horse's head and shot through his chest. Blood and liver juice dripped down the gun shaft. Han Dang was like this in front of everyone. He picked up the man's broken body and showed off his power to the Liangqi.
Li Jue was charging back and forth among the enemy troops. For a moment, no one could defeat him. He felt quite satisfied. However, when he saw the timidity of Liang Qi here from a distance, he became angry again. He immediately led his followers and rushed into the hesitant crowd. They were whipped with horsewhips, and they kept shouting and cursing: "What is there to be afraid of?! What is there to be afraid of?!"
He walked up to Han Dang like this, revealing his armor painted in bright red, and hugged his neck tightly. An iron piece stretched out from under his pocket, protecting it from the center of his eyebrows to his nose. His mount was tall and strong, and it was also The whole body is covered with armor, and there are white feathers on the veil that protects the head. When King Qin's army saw this scene, how could they not know that this was one of the most powerful generals among Liangqi?
Han Dang shook the corpse off the gun to the ground, wiped the blood from the gun barrel, and asked with a smile: "Are you Li Jue or Guo Si?"
Li Jue sneered at him and said, "Does an unknown dog thief deserve to call me Li Jue!?" After that, he picked up his knife and slashed at Han Dang. Han Dang also drew his knife from his waist to meet him, and the blades collided. The friction caused a brilliant brilliance to shine out.
