Chapter 300 The Immortal Fire Virtue and the Head of Liao
After nearly two hours of high-intensity fighting, the front armies of both Han and Wei sides were very exhausted.
Compared with physical fatigue, the situation of the Han army's front troops was more dangerous because the weapons in their hands were gradually breaking apart.
Fortunately, Guan Yu led 30,000 Han troops to come to the rescue in time, and with the help of the formation, they were able to barely withstand the Wei army's offensive.
However, even if Guan Yu led 30,000 fresh troops to join in time, the morale of the Han army began to decline slowly as the weapons in their hands were not as good as those of the enemy.
When two armies are fighting, morale is an extremely important thing.
So the current situation on the entire battlefield is:
The other Wei armies, led by the 30,000 Cao Wei Zhongjun, launched a fierce attack on the red Han army in front of them like a khaki sandstorm.
According to the five elements of the dynasty, the fire virtue was followed by the earth virtue.
As early as the period of Emperor Huanling, many celebrities were predicting that the dynasty of Tu De would replace the Han Dynasty of Hu De and become the new ruler of China.
Under this concept, the slogan used when the Yellow Turban Rebellion occurred was "Yellow Heaven should stand."
A group of Han generals headed by Guan Yu immediately commanded their respective Han armies and launched an attack on the Wei army in front.
But after he saw what happened behind him, his whole face turned pale with fear.
There was a part of the Wei army that was left behind by Zhang Liao to guard the rear, but the number was not large.
Under the increasingly fierce offensive of the Wei army, even if the Han army included Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other tens of thousands of enemies, all they could do was to hold on.
What was wrong was the Wei army who did not regard the people as human beings and did whatever it took to win.
When the formation of the Wei army's central rear was completely disrupted, the morale of the Wei army's rear soldiers suffered a fatal blow.
There were also some Wei generals who were restrained in place in the crowd, wandering left and right.
With the scouts' detection range, they could discover the more than 3,000 Xiliang cavalry in advance.
One of the reasons for this is that the tragic Battle of Dangyang that year caused many family members of the Yuancong and Jingzhou families to suffer disaster.
Even because the formation of the Wei army fell into great chaos, many Wei soldiers who were trampled to death had their orifices bleeding and their bodies shriveled before they could scream.
Just like Cao Wei Zhongjun.
When more than 10,000 Wei troops were routed and driven within a hundred steps of the battlefield, even though the shouts of killing were loud in the battlefield.
At the beginning, the people wanted to survive, so driven by the Wei army's cavalry, they kept attacking the formation of Liu Bei's army. This was not wrong.
After Cao Pi officially usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, most of the famous people in the world were in the north.
In essence, Cao Pi's move also proved the correctness of Huang Tiandang's prediction.
If the hands of other Wei troops were not stained with the blood of the common people, how could they, as Cao Cao's central army, not be stained with the blood of the common people?
And today is the time for them to repay their debt.
Darkness once again covered the vast land.
why?
In his sight, an earthy torrent appeared out of thin air behind him.
Although Zhang Fei's front army was very tired from the battle, but with the deep hatred in his heart, he still led the Han army that could continue to fight and continued to kill forward.
It is true that at this time, the specific and proud concept of the Chinese nation had not yet been formed, but it does not mean that there was no similar concept at this time.
The khaki torrent that seemed to have no end in sight was coming towards his back at an extremely fast speed.
During the Three Kingdoms period, that concept was called righteousness and orthodox thought.
Cao Wei's Zhongjun, who was at the end of the formation, also heard the sounds coming from behind.
And according to Zhang Liao's past fighting style, when all his own troops have been used up, that's when he comes on stage.
Who said that the virtue of fire is dead and the virtue of earth should be established?
Guan Yu was the first one to refuse!
As for the Wei generals who were originally directing the Wei army's attack, some of them escaped from the battlefield along with the crowd, and some fought their way through the crowd under the desperate protection of their personal guards.
Because as time goes by, Cao Wei, who controls the public opinion of scholars all over the world, and controls the Central Plains where the Chinese nation originated, will truly replace Liu Han among the former Han Dynasty subjects and become the new orthodoxy in their hearts.
But after seeing this scene, the Han generals headed by Guan Yu showed great joy on their faces like Mi Yang.
Now they are surrounded by enemies.
In the battlefield situation just now, it cannot be said that Zhang Liao's approach was wrong.
Under the influence of public opinion that "the virtue of fire has been extinguished, the virtue of earth must be established", the 30,000 Cao Wei Zhongjun did not feel that they were rebellious, they only felt that they were the righteous side.
At this time, the more than 10,000 defeated Wei troops who had fled within a hundred steps also saw the Wei troops in front, and their eyes showed joy.
But Sun Wuke never said that all the strange troops placed on the battlefield are considered mobile troops.
Zhang Liao was among these Wei generals.
In fact, the battlefield where Sun Li and Mi Yang were just now was only a few hundred steps away from this battlefield.
The deafening sound was somewhat like the sound caused by many horses' hooves running on the ground.
This is the situation that Zhuge Liang is most worried about.
Not even Liu Bei's children were spared.
It was not wrong for Liu Bei to want to escape with his people.
Under the strong hatred of the country and the family, now is the time for the Wei army to repay blood with blood.
When the legitimacy of Huode among the northern scholars is rapidly losing, it won't take long for the northern scholars to naturally forget the legitimacy of Liu Han's rule over China.
Under the influence of the gradual implementation of the Nine-Rank Officials and Personnel Law, the prophecy that "Fire virtue has perished and earth virtue must be established" has become the consensus of northern scholars through the promotion of famous figures.
Liu Chan is not Liu Bei's first son.
The hatred of the country and the family may be a slogan to others.
Because he wanted to prove that the virtue of fire still existed and that the Han Dynasty was not destroyed.
Since God has abandoned Liu Han and chosen Cao Wei, then their 30,000 army, which represents the destiny of heaven, will completely defeat Liu Han's army that was abandoned by God, and completely eliminate them in the long river of history.
This is the underlying reason why Wang Ye cannot be left to his own devices.
Now in the entire battlefield, after Sun Li's Wei army was defeated, the Han army had thousands more infantry and cavalry troops out of thin air.
In this extremely chaotic situation, it is not impossible that General Wei wanted to reorganize his formation.
What Zhang Liao was thinking was that since the Wei army had a chance of victory, he, who was good at fast attacks, had to gather all his strength to quickly deliver a fatal blow to the Han army.
Under this situation, with the will to survive, the defeated troops of more than ten thousand Wei troops continued to speed up behind them, and hit the backs of tens of thousands of Wei troops.
Zhang Liao also sent many scouts to patrol the battlefield before the war.
More and more Wei troops died under the sword of the Han army, and more and more Wei troops began to flee in all directions.
At this time, Guan Yu was leading a group of warriors who had arrived first, charging all the way towards Zhang Liao's location.
The most important thing is that the vibration came from behind them.
On the other hand, the Han army blocking them was a symbol of decay and darkness.
More than ten thousand Wei troops ran forward desperately in order to escape. The deeper they fled into the Wei army's formation, the wider the scope of the Wei army's formation they disrupted.
The power of public opinion is terrible.
The defeated Wei army of more than 10,000 people were like warriors seeking survival, rushing forward one after another, constantly attacking the deeper formations of the Wei army, just like the common people in Dangyang back then.
Although there are currently about 40,000 Wei troops on the battlefield, with all their strength launched against the Han army, most of the Wei troops are rushing forward under the leadership of Cao Wei's famous generals.
But as soon as the Wei army shows signs of this, Ma Chao, who has been leading the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to patrol around the battlefield, will not hesitate to launch an assault on the Wei army there.
This is Guan Yu after he mastered the art of war.
The time when the Xiliang cavalry led by Ma Chao appeared was when Zhang Liao led all the troops to press forward.
Do you really think that the Han army led by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were vegetarians?
When the number of people fighting is the same, the Han army will fight a protracted battle, which will cause a crisis in its own weapons.
Deploy most of the troops to defend the rear?
But it is more like the vibrations caused by an infantry regiment when running fast.
In the history books of later generations, there are very few records about the important figures of Ji Han, and many of them even have no records about their heirs.
The infantry formation composed of one or two Wei generals alone could not stop the Xiliang cavalry assault.
Once this happens, Ji Han will always be labeled as a shameful local separatist force, and will slowly enter the track of destruction.
General Wei didn't understand because most of them had always used superior force to ravage the enemy, and they had never encountered such a situation.
Countless blood was like the gorgeous fireworks prepared for celebration in the first month, blooming among the tens of thousands of Wei troops.
When the rear formation of Cao Wei's central army collapsed, the tens of thousands of Wei central troops who were fighting the Han army were also quickly affected.
When the Wei army's formation collapsed, their morale had also dropped to the extreme.
It's one thing for Wei Jun's scouts to discover it, but it's another thing to report it to Zhang Liao in time.
When these countless voices representing the greatest sorrow in the world reached the sky, the sunlight in the sky seemed to be covered by the voices and gradually became dim.
Therefore, even if the Wei army scouts noticed the appearance of the Xiliang cavalry led by Ma Chao, it would not be easy to find Zhang Liao in a crowded battlefield.
Therefore, when the defeated army of more than 10,000 Wei troops rushed into the back of Cao Wei's central army at an extremely fast speed, the rear formation of Cao Wei's central army, which was caught off guard, was suddenly smashed into pieces by the defeated army of more than 10,000 Wei troops.
Among the more than 10,000 defeated Wei troops and the tens of thousands of Wei troops, many people were pushed to the ground in the crowded crowd, and then trampled to death by their comrades around them.
But the generals present were different. They had all seen this scene before them.
They were driven down by the Xiliang cavalry and came to the back of Cao Wei's central army, where more than 10,000 Wei troops were defeated.
Most of the generals who can participate in today's battle are from the Yuancong or Jingzhou families, and generals with such backgrounds have all experienced the original Battle of Dangyang.
Once the formation and morale of the infantry are lost, no matter how elite they are and how good their weapons are, they are just lambs to be slaughtered.
Countless sounds of panic, screams, and even howls rose from the ground and soared into the sky.
Because of the large number of defeated Wei troops, more than 10,000 people, after most of them rushed into the Wei army's formation, a stampede occurred covering tens of thousands of people.
But just as the Han army's formation gradually began to retreat under the fierce attack of the Wei army, more than 10,000 "reinforcements" from the Han army arrived.
Compared to the Wei army led by Sun Li, the comrades in front of them did not point their spears at them.
More and more Wei troops joined the ranks of the defeated army, and began to continuously attack the Wei army's formation internally.
Guan Yu looked at Zhang Liao with eyes filled with murderous intent.
In their eyes, their side represents new life and hope.
If the blade of the knife is cracked, then take it from the enemy's corpse!
Under attack from both front and rear, tens of thousands of Wei troops collapsed in an instant.
Just like Cao Cao back then.
Before fighting this battle, Liu Bei asked him why he had to drag his sick body to fight this battle.
But they have been profoundly affecting the rise and fall of various forces, and even the changes in ancient Chinese history.
What a powerful army in the world, but now they are all people who are afraid of death.
Fear and confusion spread quickly.
But when the enemy's numbers are weaker than our own, the situation is different.
Unfortunately, what Zhang Liao didn't know was that the Qi army in "Use the right combination to win by surprise" refers to a mobile force with good mobility.
Righteousness and the human heart are both invisible and intangible things.
What's more, what if Wei Jun's scouts reported the news to Zhang Liao in time?
All the strange troops of the Wei army have become regular troops. Without mobile troops, what can Zhang Liao do?
Not to mention that the Wei army was unprepared for this scene, even the long-famous Wei generals were frightened by this sudden attack and panicked on the spot.
"Strange things and good things come together, just like the endless cycle, how can we be so exhausted!"
Under the influence of this concept, coupled with their own elites, tens of thousands of Wei troops with 30,000 Cao Wei Zhongjun as the core launched increasingly fierce attacks on the Han army.
"Soldiers have no permanent momentum, and water has no permanent shape."
Guan Yu led 30,000 troops to support him. If he still stood still, Cao Xiu's front army would be in danger.
How can you not be happy?
Because he wants to use a hearty victory to prove that the great man will one day regain everything he lost and rule the world again!
Because he made this decision after seeing Guan Yu press all his troops.
Even the influence of this kind of public opinion is quickly sweeping across the military and civilians in the north.
Now in the entire battlefield, as long as the Han troops were able to use their swords, they were led by their respective generals and stepped forward to kill the Wei troops who had no power to fight back.
What's even more outrageous is that under the influence of the situation, the defeated Wei army of more than 10,000 people unconsciously became a surprise force of the Han army.
After hearing the shaking sound, General Wei, who was at the end of the Wei army's formation, turned around and looked back.
But for the Han generals present now, it is a true portrayal of them.
Under such circumstances, as soon as Cao Pi established the Wei Dynasty, he designated the Five Elements of the Wei Dynasty as Tu De.
When the Wei army was facing collapse, Guan Yu wanted to obtain something to prove his idea to the world.
This object is the head on Zhang Liao's neck.
Come, come, send it during the day.
