The knight of the Liang army showed off his skills in front of the two armies. He was wearing lacquered gold armor and holding a spear eight feet long. He was also sitting on a large iron-armored horse. Even though they were separated by books, Chen Chong and others could see it clearly. Obviously he planned to invite a fight first.
Chen Chong got tired after standing for a while, and quickly sat back on the ground. Hearing Wu Yu talk about the proud look of the knight, he sighed: "Liang Jun knew that Yun Chang and Yide were not here, so he dared to be so arrogant."
Tian Zhao asked: "I heard that General Zhengxi's swordsmanship is so good that even Liang Gou can't defeat him!"
"There is no reason for the coach to go up and become a fighting general. As soon as the coach comes up, Liang Ren fires thousands of arrows and shoots the coach to death. How can we fight this battle?" Chen Chong couldn't help but laugh when he heard this ignorant statement, even if he was worried in his heart. stand up.
Tian Zhao was very frustrated: "Then there are no warriors in our army who can kill generals in front of the battle array?"
"Of course there is. I have left Taishi Ziyi to Xuande. He is skilled in bow and horse, and brave and clear-minded. I believe you will be able to see him soon."
These words quickly made the two teenagers happy. Tian Zhao felt that the location was not good and he couldn't see clearly, so he found a cypress tree and climbed up. He stood on the top of the tree and said to Chen Chong below: "Ms. Chen, there really is a knight. Out!"
"What does it look like?"
"He is also wearing yellow armor, but he is riding a red horse."
"That's it." Chen Chong nodded.
Tian Zhao watched two yellow dots entangled together on the tree, sometimes separating and sometimes converging. He couldn't see clearly how the warriors on both sides fought, but the soldiers on both sides gradually started to cry out, and soon it turned into a wave like a wave. There was a huge cheering momentum, and hundreds of thousands of people from both armies were cheering for the two men. Such a scene couldn't help but make him daydream in his mind. His eyes seemed to be full of swords and swords, and the sound of gold and iron seemed to ring in his ears.
After a while, the shouts became louder and more urgent, as if it had become a competition between the soldiers on both sides. Even Chen Chong was a little unsteady. He asked: "Who has the upper hand now?" I regretted it. From such a distance, how could Tian Zhao know who had the upper hand?
Unexpectedly, Tian Zhao said: "I think Liang Ren's horse is a little immobile, but Tai Shi's horse is still running fast!"
At this time, Chen Chong heard the shouts paused, and both armies fell into a deathly silence. But then, roaring cheers broke out from the north. He immediately reacted and asked: "Did Taishi Jin win?"
Wu Yu, who was standing next to him, said loudly: "Liang Gou's knight fell from his horse! He was pulled back into the formation by Liang Gou!" His voice was so high, as if he was the one who defeated him.
"Okay!" Chen Chong said with a smile: "The battle will begin next!"
Just as Chen Chong expected, both sides beat the drums at the same time. The battle formations on both wings of the Liang Army moved forward slightly, obviously to test their ideas.
The same was true at the beginning of the merger, but as the two wings slowly approached, there were some changes in the merger. I saw the knights on the right wing spreading slightly to both sides, and more than a hundred knights rushed out from them. Two of them were wearing brocade clothes, and they were obviously prominent figures in the army. Riding in the middle is Liu Deran, his clan brother who has been fighting with Liu Bei all year round. Riding on one side is Xu Huang who originally stayed in Henan.
The two men immediately stood in front of the two armies. Liu Deran cleared his throat and shouted to the Baibo army: "Listen, all Baibo soldiers, Yang Feng and Han Siam are responsible for the rebellion. It is only the two of them who are responsible for the rebellion and has nothing to do with anyone else. Why should we bother treacherous little people like them?" Why are people risking their lives? What's the benefit of following them? Now that the two armies are facing each other, you have won. How many people can go back alive? Moreover, the cruelty of the Liang people can be seen. They treat the people of Quyu so cruelly. , will it be good for you? If you lose, sooner or later you will have to leave your hometown and live under someone else's roof. How many wives, children, fathers and sons will be separated from each other. Wouldn't it be sad to live? Both you and Zheng Xi are willing to forgive you."
After the shouting, Baibo's army was silent. At this time, Xu Huang rode out again and shouted: "I am Xu Huang, you all know me. You rebelled, but Zhengxi entrusted me with important tasks. He also said that as long as you behave anyway, I won’t do anything to you!”
Seeing a slight commotion in Bai Bo's army, Liu Deran suddenly stepped aside and reached out to hold a horse behind him. He was afraid that the horse would suddenly run out, so he grabbed the reins, dismounted sideways, and respectfully led the horse out. The knights around him dismounted and stood beside the horse's head to protect him. Immediately a man sat down, it was Liu Bei. Now in Baibo's army, all the soldiers and officers who have been on expeditions in recent years are aware of the pain, and suddenly there is an uproar in the army. Liu Bei was not in a hurry, took off his round armor, raised his sword to his head and said: "I, Liu Xuande, swear to God that as long as you surrender today, let bygones be bygones, your official honor will remain as before. If you persist in your obsession, don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword. If I lie, , will die by the sword!"
Xu Huang then shouted: "Everyone who heard about General Zhengxi ran to the east, to Yuanyang and Yuanyin, and waited for us to reorganize there. As long as we leave the battle, it will be considered as surrender!"
At this time, another voice came: "Old Qu Shuai offered his life in exchange for our lives. Do we have to go against his wishes and remain treacherous villains for the rest of our lives?" Unexpectedly, this voice appeared in the Baibo Army. , which then caused an uproar.
The Baibo Army was already quite dissatisfied with Yang Feng and Han Siam, and had doubts about betraying Chen Chong. Before the war, Wang Mao's head was displayed in public, which had the opposite effect, making them even more disgusted with the Liang people. Now that Liu Bei and others appeared to swear an oath, and Wang Mao's old subordinates took the opportunity to instigate them and guide them to go east and return home, there was an uproar in response. The cavalry moved first, and the infantry behind them also abandoned their flags and ran eastward.
Like a spring flood breaking through ice, Xu Rong's originally tight army formation was shattered. The right wing quickly collapsed, leaving only Yang Feng and Han Siam's headquarters of less than 10,000 people standing alone on one side, directly using the rear formation as a surprise force. Li Jue and Guo Si's tribe were also exposed. In the middle is Xu Rong's main formation, which is well preserved. They were not greatly affected by this, but there were more than 30,000 Tiefu people on the left. Seeing that Bai Bo was fine, they all started to make a commotion, but they were soon calmed down by Dugu Qubei, who was also traveling with them.
Liu Bei then returned to his own formation. There was a loud sound of drums in the merging army formation, and the Xianbei cavalry in the front line mobilized and inserted diagonally from the right wing of the Liang army from east to west. The iron cavalry stepped on the ground, and the ground shook like a mountain. Yang Feng and Han Siam were overwhelmed by the sight. The army flags and weapons were thrown to the ground. A rout soon formed, allowing Xianbei's armor and cavalry to attack Zhang Ji's troops. Zhang Ji's troops were caught off guard and failed to take charge, allowing the Xianbei cavalry to rush straight into the Chinese army, all the way through the mud.
Guo Bang, who was originally used as a surprise soldier, did not see this situation, and yelled: "You don't believe me! I will kill them all after the war!" But the scolding was enough, and now he could only join the battle in advance to fill the front line and defeat the Xianbei people's offensive. Containment was in front of the Chinese army, but there was a large gap in the front lines of the two armies. The extra soldiers of the merging army quickly reacted and turned under Liu Bei's command, gradually squeezing towards the flank of the Liang army. His left wing suffered several times of pressure and soon began to collapse. Han Siam and Yang threw themselves at Dong Zhuo for fame and fortune. Naturally, they were not willing to fight to the death at this time, so they immediately retreated and ran towards the mountains behind them.
When Xu Rong saw this scene, he yelled, "Oh no!" He originally planned to test the strength of the merging army, and arranged the formation in a very scattered manner. He was not prepared for a decisive battle at all. But at this time, he couldn't help it anymore. Seeing that the Tiefu people on the left were also squeezed by the superior force of the merged army, they were at a disadvantage.
He immediately judged that the flanks and surprise troops could no longer be taken into account in this battle, and the entire army could only rely on himself. But the next question is, how should I fight? There are 50,000 Liang people here. They must not be left here easily. Otherwise, if they are defeated, they will not be allowed to kill them in Chang'an!
Behind us are the vast mountains. We cannot retreat, we can only advance. At the moment of life and death, Xu Rong immediately made up his mind and immediately ordered the entire army to march. When the drum beat changed, he immediately took the lead and charged northward with his knife raised high.
When Chen Chong heard that Tian Zhao said that the Liang people did not retreat but advanced, he couldn't help but admire Xu Rong and said: "Xu Rong's grasp of the fighter opportunity is indeed decisive. The only way to get a glimmer of hope at this time is to move forward." But he smiled and said: "It's just that Xuande has been in battle for a long time, and he can expect this. He has many armored infantry behind the army, and they are definitely not so easy to penetrate."
Sure enough, the Ryo people changed their formation into a cone, trying to break through the siege of the enemy. After they rushed through the cavalry of the enemy, they encountered the infantry in the rear formation. The infantry formed a shield formation and attacked the approaching Ryo people. The army fired a barrage of arrows and soon flattened the cone point. The Liang army left some corpses behind and could only retreat. Then they organized a cone offensive again and attacked the infantry again and again, only to be repulsed again and again. Going back is like an iron cone that keeps hitting the chopping board, but is knocked soft by the chopping board again and again. If after a few more times, the iron cone has no room to strike, Liang Jun will be crushed into powder by the army. .
The Liang people had lost a lot of men now, and the flanks on both sides continued to collapse. Some people had been driven into the mountains, and were brutally killed by the combined army with crossbows and knives. If they did not retreat, they would die. Many Liang people could only bite the bullet. Go to the water.
Just when the Liang army thought they were desperate, Xu Rong calmly looked around and observed the formation changes of the merging army. He suddenly noticed that there was a slight lag and looseness in the formation coordination of the merging army's left wing. Going too fast at one point and going slower at another caused a disconnect and created a smaller gap.
He grasped this in time and said loudly to his bodyguard: "Look at my flag, follow me!" and immediately rushed over like a black wind. The accompanying knights did not ask for any reason, they fully believed in their own The generals tried their best to gallop their horses to keep up, and while charging, they ordered all the armies to launch a general attack.
For a moment, the sound was like a landslide. Just before they collided with the army, the knights in the vanguard had a clear understanding. They stretched their bows and strings on their horses and stopped the arrows on the strings. When someone in front of them shouted: "Let go", they walked a hundred steps away. At that time, an iron curtain came down from the sky. Arrows flew into the formation of the army. Although most of the soldiers were heavily armored and were not afraid of arrows, in this situation, they heard the armor and arrows colliding with each other, and many of them looked like hedgehogs. Generally speaking, not to mention the injured ones, even the uninjured ones felt that the arm armor on their bodies was as heavy as a boulder, and they were unable to fight back. They could only watch Ryoto occupy this gap.
Write a book
Xu Rong actually caught this opening and cut off the two formations. The merging troops in the rear formation did not expect such a situation, and the formation general did not issue an order. He actually watched helplessly as the Liang army cut the army into two from the center. Half.
This scene was beyond everyone's expectation, and even the drumbeat of the merging army stopped for a while. Chen Chong sensed something was wrong and asked Tian Zhao what happened. Tian Zhao couldn't understand and only said to Chen Chong: "It seems that Liang Jun rushed out."
