As the fighting on the left flanks of the two armies gradually intensified, the battle between the Bing Army and the Liang Army on the right flank also began.
It was Xu Rong's tribe and Guo Bang's tribe who fought in the Liang army. Under the pressure of Chen Chong's approaching army, they both chose to give up supporting the left wing and invariably pushed their troops eastward. On a front that was nearly ten miles long, they attacked The people on Hongguyuan launched an attack.
Among the 50,000 knights of the Liang Army, about 20,000 of them were in these two groups. Once they started galloping, they were like an endless black tide rolling over from the dragon's head. They made a few waves beside Qingliang Mountain, and soon It ran towards the plain again fiercely, and stirred up ripples in circles under the Honggu plain. That was the beginning of the fighting. Gradually, the sound of fighting began to evaporate, spreading from the front line to the entire military formation.
The civilian men recruited from Bingzhou were setting up tents and fences on Hongguyuan. When they heard the sound, they couldn't help but raise their heads and look into the distance, trying to see the battle ahead. For them, this day was The day that changed their destiny, even as civilian husbands, they wanted to witness the success or failure of the war with their own eyes. Unfortunately, most people could only see the endless heads of their own side. The sound of fighting in the distance seemed to come out of the ground. Only the civilians who camped for Chen Chong at the highest point could see the general scene.
The first to launch the offensive was naturally Xu Rongbu. Since Dong Zhuo came to power, his cavalry has had the most outstanding military exploits. Even Chen Chong himself has suffered many hardships. In this charge, their most elite armored knights were still charging ahead, regardless of the steep slope between Hongguyuan and Longshouyuan. Even though they were covered in iron armor, these horses still leaped up as if they were walking on flat ground, facing their enemies directly on the plain. Everyone was stunned, thinking that they were heavenly beings riding heavenly horses.
On the first day of the new year, these knights had no intention of stopping and resting. They waved their swords among the infantry, and the sword tips stabbed the crowd mercilessly, and they were soon soaked with blood. At this time, the soldiers on the ground just woke up from a dream, and they stabbed back with their spears. Liangren's armor was thick and could not be pierced, so they stabbed his mount instead, forcing them to dismount and fight without relying on the momentum of the horse. .
Leading this group of knights was Wang Chang. Wang Chang was a rare Liaodong native among the Liang army. Because of his bravery in battle and being a fellow townsman of Xu Rong, he was promoted by Xu Rong to be the vanguard's dubo. He fought for a while and found that the reinforcements behind him had not come up yet. This caused a great deal of pressure on them, and many of their comrades' horses were stabbed to death by the soldiers. He was the only one who was different. He charged back and forth among the people for several rounds, causing the horse to sweat profusely, foaming at the mouth from exhaustion, and unable to run at all.
At this point, Wang Chang had no choice but to jump off his horse, fight with his comrades while retreating, and gather with the reinforcements behind him.
Xu Rong has always taken the lead, and at this time he was in the Xiandeng tribe, directing the troops to attack the plains and find the weak points of the merging army. Originally, he was quite happy that Wang Chang had captured Hong Guyuan, but soon Wang Chang was pushed back. Xu Rong's expression changed, and he called Wang Chang over and asked, "Why did you retreat?"
Wang Chang replied honestly: "The horse cannot stand the fight, otherwise it will not retreat!"
Unexpectedly, after he said this, Xu Rong actually asked someone to bring him a red horse and said to him: "This is my spare BMW. It has the same power as my commonly used black horse. I will borrow this horse." Here you go, maybe you can fight for me again?”
Wang Chang looked at the red horse and was very fond of it. He immediately promised: "This horse is very good. I will ride it to the Yuan Po Army!" A red horse, praised repeatedly. Xu Rong didn't care about him, and sent some more knights to him, asking them to go to Hongguyuan immediately despite the rain of arrows.
When he charged into battle again, everyone on Hongguyuan noticed him. Wang Chang was wearing the battle armor awarded by Xu Rong. The lining was a red military uniform, and the outside was covered with Mingguang armor painted red. Now he was riding a red war horse. Like a ball of fire, it reflects the rays of the sun and is particularly dazzling.
The rain of arrows still couldn't stop him, but when he boarded Hongguyuan, thanks to the war horse Shenjun, it still had spare power and accelerated into the enemy's formation. Two soldiers from the merging army came closer, each holding a long sword. They tried to stab the horse with their spears. Unexpectedly, the horse was too fast. It turned around abruptly. Before the two of them could react, they saw Wang Chang, who was turning sideways, stabbing him with his spear.
The man who was stabbed only wore a layer of leather armor. How could he withstand such a puncture force? There was a pop and the tip of the spear penetrated the abdomen. Wang Chang felt his wrist tighten and knew he was in. He quickly lifted the pole upwards with all his strength. There was a snap and the pole had broken. He quickly took out his knife and hacked the other man to death, grabbed two spears, and went back to fight.
The enemy here was the Qin Yilu tribe. One of the military commanders saw Wang Chang being so brave and immediately shouted to the soldiers: "Don't use spears, use armor-piercing arrows!" Wang Chang immediately stared at him and joined the soldiers. While still looking for the crossbow, he took off the three-stone bow from the saddle, jumped off the horse, stood on the ground, and aimed at the military commander who was speaking.
Seeing Wang Chang's reaction, the military commander suddenly felt fear in his heart, and was about to hide himself. Unexpectedly, Wang Chang moved faster. He let go of his string with a thunderbolt, and the military commander fell down as if struck by lightning. , and the soldiers on the side had just found the crossbow and were about to shoot, but they saw that Wang Chang had already gone to another place on horseback.
The nearly 100-step merging army had no command and was quickly dispersed by the swarming Liang people. Xu Rong saw that Buqu had established a firm foothold on Honggu Plain, and immediately went to the plain to watch Chen Chong's arrangements in person. When he saw Chen Chong's two revolutionary flags planted on a hill five miles away from him, his heart was filled with excitement. Wang Chang, who was waiting for his order, encouraged him: "A horse is worthy of a hero, I will give this horse to you!"
Wang Chang was overjoyed when he heard this and stepped forward to thank him, but Xu Rong waved his hand and said, "Don't be lazy. Today's war is still far from over!"
Even if he saw Chen Chong's main formation, Xu Rong was not in a hurry to break through the formation. Instead, he remembered the situation during the Guangcheng War. That time he went deep into the formation alone to try to kill Sun Jian, but was outflanked by Sun Jian's superior force. The success fell short before the formation. This time he kept the lesson in mind and continued to drive the merging fronts from the north and south of Hong Guyuan, and led the army from the rear to Hong Guyuan, intending to wait for the time to be mature enough before making the fatal blow.
I saw more and more Liang people rushing to Hong Guyuan, gradually spreading from a point to the north and south into a line, and that line gradually turned into a black tide like the one in Longshou Plain. Chen Chong looked at this scene with no trace of panic on his face. As soon as he arrived on the battlefield, his heart would feel unprecedentedly peaceful. This was an instinct he had developed in these years of war. The more peaceful he is, the more peaceful he becomes. Only when things move can you make the most correct decision.
There were three people watching the situation with him, including Xun You, his servant, and Wu Yu and Tian Zhao whom he met during the Battle of Yuanshui. Chen Chong transferred them from Liu Bei's army in the early spring and asked Xu Shu to teach them. They read and write.
The two young men looked at the gold and iron horses in the plain, and were stunned by the murderous atmosphere on the battlefield. Xun You chased the enemy's flag, and vaguely made out that Guo Bang's troops were also rushing to the plain, and he smiled at Chen Chong He said: "Ting Jian, what a coincidence. It seems that they have placed their treasure on you." The implication was that Liang Jun planned to execute the battle here, which was completely different from the main attack direction chosen by Chen Chong.
"This is not a bad thing." Chen Chong judged the number of the enemy's attack and replied to Xun You: "My original intention is to use the lower Sichuang against the upper Siochun to sharpen its energy, and the upper Siguo to fight against the middle Siochun to break its courage and keep the center. Si to Si, the final word is that they will focus on attacking here and integrate my ideas." After saying that, he asked Wu Yutian Zhao to come over and let them convey what he just said to the troops of each department, and asked Qin Yilu's troops to be divided into six units to pass through the Gao in turn. The Quasi Department went to reorganize the front between Linghuyuan Department and Xu Huang Department.
When the two teenagers saw that their coach was motionless, Xun You smiled and nodded to them. The panic in his chest finally dissipated a little, and he ran down the hill in a hurry.
Seeing the two people's backs disappearing into the crowd, Xun You smiled, turned his head and looked at Chen Chong, and saw that he was looking towards the south. The Huns and Zhang Ji's tribe were fighting fiercely there, but they were too far apart to see the specific scene clearly, and no figures could be seen. They could only vaguely see four long gray and black dragons circling in the sky, making contact and then scattering. Further to the west, nothing can be seen, and that is where Liu Bei is attacking.
Xun You thought for a moment and finally swallowed the words in his mouth. In his opinion, Chen Chong's words were entirely to appease the military morale. The battlefield is not a horse race. The situation is ever-changing, and a little carelessness can reverse the outcome. If the Liang army made a desperate move at this time and defeated Hong Guyuan's entrenched right army in one fell swoop, Liu Bei's left army would have won a great victory. With such a long battle line, the more numerous Liang army would have an advantage, let alone Chen Chong's personal prestige of being victorious in every battle serves as the soul flag in the army. Once he fails, the consequences will be disastrous.
Five miles away, the Liang Army's cavalry was regrouping, apparently accumulating strength and preparing to launch another offensive to break through the front line. Seeing this scene, Chen Chong was unmoved. He still had a reserve army available. Zhang Fei was leading them to stay in the Yanming Pond in Bailuyuan, ready for battle.
But the best opportunity was far from being reached at the moment. Chen Chong thought that he still didn't know whether the other party had any time to prepare.
For Xu Rong and Guo Bang, who have already established a foothold in Hongguyuan, there is indeed such an idle child.
Before launching the charge, Xu Rong's troops lit a bonfire on the plain and threw wolf dung to burn it. The flames were not bright during the day, but the white smoke clouds rose up, and the scorching sun quickly coated them with a layer of golden brilliance, as if there were some golden threads connecting the sky and the earth.
That was the signal to contact Feng Qiyuan Shang Liangqi.
