After Liu Bei's army entered Jiuquan County, they did not spend any effort to find the Xianbei people. The Xianbei people came directly to find him, and the vanguard sentinels also brought updated news.
Another larger group of Xianbei cavalry joined the original Xianbei cavalry in Jiuquan County. I don't know if it was reinforcements or an existing follow-up team. Now the two armies are combined into one, and it is estimated that the number has reached more than 10,000.
They were slowly approaching the direction of the Han army's advance, assuming a decisive battle posture.
When the news was delivered, Liu Bei just sneered and had no emotions in his heart.
"The Xianbei people think that if they win by chance, they will win forever, so I have to make them realize the reality! They knew that the former army was defeated, but they still refused to withdraw. They dared to take the initiative to fight me. Obviously, they knew that they had an advantage. This Even better, I’ll eliminate them right here in one fell swoop, saving you the trouble of having to hunt them down everywhere!”
Liu Bei decisively ordered the entire army to move forward and engage the Xianbei people.
Pioneer general Pang De led a battalion of cavalry as the vanguard of the army and fought with a Xianbei vanguard cavalry about 20 miles southeast of Biaoshi County.
Pound shouted forward, led his troops to fight, defeated the Xianbei vanguard army, and won the victory.
The Xianbei vanguard general Xie Ni fled in embarrassment because of the defeat. He finally escaped with his life. After returning to the main formation, Zhi Jian Luo Luo, one of the western Xianbei masters, was very angry about the fact of defeat and was very dissatisfied with Xie Ni for embarrassing him. Directly ordered to kill him.
"You dare to come back and complain to me after losing the battle. None of my subordinates are such cowards!"
So Xie Ni was beheaded in public.
After Xie Ni died, Zhi Jian Luo Luo asked the army to move forward and directly go to Liu Bei for a decisive battle.
Regarding the behavior of his superiors, his close confidant Gu Da expressed his concerns.
"The Han army has won twice before. They are obviously elite. It may not be a rational choice to fight them head-on. We have already obtained a lot of property, and leaving now will not be too much of a disadvantage."
Zhi Jian Luo Luo glared and punched Gu Da to the ground.
"So much, you want me to pretend that nothing has happened? I have traveled north and south for more than ten years, and I have never suffered such humiliation! If I can't cut off Liu Bei's head and hang it on my flag, what shame do I have? Order my subordinates?"
Guda's advice was meaningless, Zhijianluoluo made up his mind to fight Liu Bei decisively.
But really speaking, he felt a little bit regretful in his heart.
He originally thought that Liu Bei was only in his twenties and must not have much ability. Liangzhou had just experienced a war and must be defenseless. He was a soft persimmon. He could just pinch him to satisfy the recent decline in prestige caused by his failure in internal disputes.
Besides, in his eyes, which has always been arrogant, the counties and counties in Liangzhou are basically his hunting ground. Whenever he is short of things, he comes to hunt for the autumn wind. The Han Empire's rule in Liangzhou is too busy to take care of itself. If it weren't for the small number of people, , he wanted to sweep Liangzhou.
Every time they went south to plunder in the past, their gains were greater than their losses, so they kept going south.
He often recalled that when Tan Shihuai was still there, after defeating the three northern expeditions of the Han army, the entire border states and counties of the Han Empire became their entertainment ground. They could come and leave as they wanted. If Tan Shihuai hadn't died, After the son failed to live up to expectations, they must still be living such a happy life.
Despite this, the decline of the Han Empire was still seen in their eyes and kept in their hearts.
These old people who have lived through the Tan Shihuai era are somewhat disdainful of the military power of the Han Empire.
But who would have thought that this expected entertainment and leisure activity would actually suffer two defeats, losing troops and generals, and Liangzhou Shepherd Liu Bei was unstoppable.
The originally successful plan to sack Liangzhou has become tainted. Now many people have some doubts about Liu Bei, the shepherd of Liangzhou, and also question whether Zhi Keyian Luoluo's decision to go south to fight against the autumn wind is correct.
If he cannot win this battle and cannot chop off Liu Bei's head, I am afraid that he will not be able to return to his base, and he will be forced by his subordinates to abdicate in favor of others.
So Zhi Jian Luo Luo knew that Liu Bei was a capable person, but when the matter came, he had to bite the bullet and start a decisive battle with Liu Bei. After all, like Liangzhou, they also had the law of the jungle, and they never respected the old and cared for the young. Say this.
Everyone has a reason why they cannot fail.
Zhi Jianluo Luo led his army closer to Liu Bei with uneasiness, and finally launched a large-scale decisive battle with Liu Bei's troops near noon on May 29, the fourth year of Zhongping.
When the two armies encounter each other, the war will not have so many twists and turns. It will be soldiers against soldiers against generals, and both sides will decide life and death together based on their strength.
Zhi Keyian Luo Luo wanted to take a preemptive strike, so he sent troops to attack first.
Liu Bei, on the other hand, went straight to the game.
In this battle, the battlefield was open enough, and Liu Bei almost understood what kind of opponents he faced. He didn't play tricks at all, and just came up with big moves.
He wants to use his strength to destroy his opponents.
Pang De was the front army, Gai Xun and Xu Huang were the left and right armies respectively. Liu Bei, Qian Zhao and Liu Yong led the main force. The Han cavalry launched a group charge and pressed forward to start a decisive battle with the Xianbei cavalry.
The target of Liu Bei's army was directly at the location of Zhi Jian Luo Luo.
He wanted to achieve close combat as quickly as possible, give full play to the Han army's advantages in hand-to-hand combat weapons and protective gear, drag the Xianbei cavalry into a track they were not good at, and eat them all in one go. Achieve a hearty victory.
Faced with Liu Bei's fighting method of amplifying his attacks as soon as he came up, Zhi Jian Luo Luo was a little uncomfortable. He saw Liu Bei's own symbolic flags starting to move with the army, and they were still coming in the direction of his central army. This made him Surprised.
The Han army was actually so sharp and brave, and without any prior contact, the whole army pressed directly on them. Did they know how to use troops or not?
In his memory, he had never encountered such a brave Han army. If the Han army was so brave, how could he dare to invade the borders of the Han Empire again and again?
In any case, Zhi Jian Luo Luo felt that fighting like this was not possible, so he ordered the army not to engage the enemy head-on, but to give full play to the Xianbei people's advantages in horsemanship and archery to consume the sharpness of the Han army.
start running.
He thought well, but everyone was on horseback, and there was no speed difference between each other's horses like cars and bicycles.
And if you can shoot arrows here, can't I?
When the Han cavalry braved the rain of arrows from the Xianbei cavalry and moved forward bravely, and not many of them were hit by arrows and fell off their horses, the Xianbei cavalry was already in a very dangerous situation.
However, Zhi Jian Luo Luo did not respond in time and ordered the Xianbei cavalry to enter a state of hand-to-hand combat.
So Pound's troops, as the front army, quickly plunged into the group of Xianbei cavalry.
Pound's soldiers rushed into the Xianbei cavalry with red eyes and spears in their hands. The spears stabbed each Xianbei cavalry to death. Then they dropped their spears, drew their swords from their sheaths, and charged with their swords. He continued to kill every Xianbei cavalry he could see.
Pang De and his own cavalry led the charge and were unstoppable. The Xianbei cavalry in front of them was invincible.
Inspired by the general, the Han cavalry all moved forward bravely and fought desperately. The Xianbei cavalry was obviously shocked by the Han army's fearlessness. For a moment, they felt helpless and unable to resist. They allowed the Han cavalry to move at high speed. The impact kills indiscriminately.
Only then did Zhijian Luoluo realize the seriousness of the problem and quickly ordered his subordinate Guda to organize a counterattack.
There is no point in riding and shooting anymore. Sudden riding and fighting are the only chance of victory.
