The collapse of Wu Zibu's Zuotun was tragic, but for such a huge battlefield, it was inconspicuous. Neither Dian Wei nor Guan Yu paid much attention to it, let alone the chariot far behind the formation. Zhang rushed.

In Zhang Chong's field of vision, a black dot as small as an ant rushed into his formation. After contact, the edge of the formation sank for a moment, and then quickly returned to its original state.

This is war. Because everyone stands in a different position, the fierce battle in the eyes of the soldiers seems to be calm in the eyes of those in high positions.

After Wu Zi gathered the remaining officers and soldiers from Zuo Tun, he sent them to the back of the formation for treatment by doctors. Then the full-scale infantrymen from Right Tun took over the front line after Zuo Tun evacuated.

Wu Zi blamed himself a little, feeling that he was so panicked in such a battle that he killed and injured dozens of soldiers.

But there is one thing to say: in the battle of Xingyang, no matter how funny the Han army or the Taishan army acted, even the incomprehensible actions were understandable.

Why?

Because none of the generals on both sides had commanded or participated in a battle involving tens of thousands of people. The Taishan Army claimed to have swept Heshuo and moved to the Central Plains, but in reality? The size of each battle did not exceed ten thousand people. Even in the Battle of Yingyang, the Taishan Army participated in the battle at critical moments in the battle, rather than the main battle.

But it is foreseeable that as long as the Taishan Army can survive such a large-scale battle, both the officers and soldiers will be completely improved.

But now, in Xingyang, not only Wu Zi is facing tens of thousands of people marching and retreating, but also the powerful Han troops on both sides are trembling with fear.

For example, when Guanqiu Xing took the lead in opening up the situation, rationally, the Han army's formation, which was only 250 steps behind, should take the opportunity to charge, and take advantage of the situation to overwhelm Wu Zi's square formation in one fell swoop. Instead of waiting for Wu Zi to slow down. The Queen of Gods was decisively ordered by her people to attack the Han cavalry with platoon spears, so that the situation opened by Guanqiu Xingjia Yong was ruined.

But reason is reason. In fact, the Han army generals behind him were as panicked as Wu Zi, so much so that they looked on blankly from beginning to end, as if the previous battle had never happened.

After Guanqiu Xing returned to the formation, he got his wish and won the cheers of all the Han soldiers, but his feat was meaningless on this battlefield.

The Taishan Army's formation was still as strict as before. Except for the dozens of casualties on both sides, everything was the same as a moment ago.

After all, Wu Zi had the qualifications to be a general. After suffering the loss, he quickly stabilized his mind. Not only did he step forward and stand in front of the entire formation, he also moved closer to Guo Mo's troops beside him and reorganized the formation.

Soon the flag soldiers next to Wu Zi saw the flag in the direction of Sima behind him. The flag said:

"Bend forward and engage the enemy."

After Wu Zi received the order, he took a long breath and took the lead in lowering the five-meter-long step guard. Then he continued to move forward with the remaining one hundred step lifters.

The same order was also sent to Guo Mo, who was in the left front song, so the two songs blew the horns at the same time. The dull horn drowned out the sound of the battlefield. The two front songs marched first, followed by the two left and right songs, Eight hundred people followed closely behind, and then came the Zhongqu and back areas on both sides, followed by another eight hundred people.

In other words, Guan Yu didn't leave any reserve troops at all, and sent all the troops he had at his disposal.

On the opposite side of the battlefield, the soldiers in the front row of the Han army saw a scene like this. A huge human wall about a hundred meters long slowly walked over in the sun. They marched in neat columns, holding huge

The steps reflected the metallic light in the sunlight, and countless apricot-yellow flags fluttered in the wind.

Every step they took was accompanied by the majestic drumbeats from the opposite side.

The march of Guan Yu's troops of the Taishan Army fell in the eyes of Huang Wan who was behind Hanzhong. He happily patted the carriage and said excitedly:

"Okay, that little thief is entering my cave."

It turned out that Huang Wan still chose to attack the well-prepared Guan Yu's troops when he clearly discovered the weakness of Taishan's army, just to attract Guan Yu's troops to come forward and fight with his own troops. When the battle was inextricable, Huang Wan ordered his two wings to encircle him.

Annihilate Guan Yu's tribe in one fell swoop.

At that time, he would take advantage of the situation and attack the weak left rear formation of the bandits, defeating the bandit army in one fell swoop. Now that Guan Yu's actions were all part of his plan, how could Huang Wan not be excited?

But Huang Wan was obviously too excited. He had no idea what was going to happen to his frontline soldiers.

Everything has its pros and cons. The shortcomings of this new giant formation compiled by Zhang Chong have just been seen, that is, if someone suddenly attacks the face, there will be nowhere to use it. But his strength is when charging on the line.

, longer rifles, and denser formations will kill all enemies facing them.

The two hundred and fifty steps were quickly completed, and Wu Zi, who was only one spear away from the enemy, stepped forward and started shouting loudly:

"Hold on, hold on."

After saying that, he accelerated again and started to rush towards the Han soldiers on the opposite side. The soldiers in the front row of the Han soldiers tried to fight back with their spears, but the length difference was too big, and they were already skewered to the enemy before they could reach the opposite side.

on the steps.

The riflemen in the hands of the Taishan Army did not pull out the rifle after stabbing someone. Instead, they continued to move forward according to the military order. They wanted to squeeze the other side. The riflemen in the second row began to move forward under the order of the leader of the platoon.

Launched the second round of stabbing, causing a wave of damage to the enemy. Then came the third and fourth rounds.

These rifles were strung with the corpses of Han soldiers, and with the help of the robes behind them, they continued to advance.

Wu Zi's side was seeking revenge, and the left-wing Qianqu Guo Mo's troops who were marching together were also assassinating the enemy, and they were doing so more smoothly than Wu Zi's troops.

Unlike Wu Zi's tribe, Guo Mo's tribe did not put down their rifles when marching, but continued to advance with broken steps. Therefore, when they were only a spear away from the enemy, the officers of Guo Mo's tribe issued the order

yes:

"Smash!"

The rifles held high in the front row hit the opponent's head under gravity. Countless explosions made the Yanzhou soldiers who were facing the enemy feel frightened. After that, they followed the same steps, stabbing, pushing, and the following steps.

Two rounds of stabbing, then pushing, and repeated four rounds.

This was a real massacre. Whether it was the Yanzhou soldiers or the Hedong soldiers in the front of Hanzhong, they were all the bravest soldiers. But unfortunately, they were all fancy soldiers, either with big axes, spears, or spears.

Using bows and arrows, these warriors were directly picked to death in the first round when faced with the Taishan Army's infantry attack.

The Han soldiers behind were howling in fear, but they were all ruthlessly put to death by the Taishan Army's infantry on the opposite side.

More and more Han soldiers couldn't resist, so they dropped their weapons and retreated. Those who couldn't make it in time chose to lie in the pile of corpses and pretend to be dead. Some were simply stunned, with pale faces, bloodshot eyes, and all over their bodies. They were trembling and then pushed to the ground. Some even knelt on the ground and begged for mercy from the Taishan army on the opposite side, begging to be let go. Some were driven crazy and started laughing loudly and running around, and then were beaten by their own general Guanqiu. The farce ended only after smashing his head with an iron bone flower.

After killing the crazy soldiers, Guan Qiu Xing looked at the Taishan Army advancing step by step with an ugly expression. He did not expect that the bandits that he had massacred before were now slaughtering his troops at will. But Guan Qiu Xing did not He had no intention of charging, as he knew that such a large formation could no longer be broken by a warrior of one or two martial arts.

Guan Qiu Xing glanced at the friendly troops on the right, and when he saw the Lu banner on the right slowly retreating, Guan Qiu Xing felt no burden anymore and immediately withdrew his troops to the rear formation, where Xue Hong's formation was. He started from After retreating on one side, they entered Xue Hong's formation.

As Lu Qian and Guanqiu Xing both withdrew, the remaining Yanzhou soldiers and Hedong soldiers could no longer resist and collapsed one after another. As a result, the first contact between the two sides broke out in both formations of the Han army.

However, because the Taishan Army's line became loose during the march, they also chose to stop and reorganize their formation. But everyone knew that the Han army behind them still could not withstand the attack of these Taishan Army.

Huang Wan had a panoramic view of the Hanzhong Army, which was about six hundred meters away from the front line. At this time, he no longer had the complacency he had before, and could only keep smacking his mouth.

Seeing that the coach was confused, his staff Kuai Yue immediately reminded:

"Lord, hurry up and surround us with both wings. It'll be no problem."

Huang Wan woke up from a dream and quickly ordered two wings to attack both sides of the enemy army, working together to strangle the rebels.

The purpose of Huang Wanbu's crab formation was to encircle two wings. Although the bravery of the bandit army exceeded his expectations, no matter how strong the army was, they were still human beings. As long as they were surrounded on three sides, they would all die. Who can make people's eyes only grow in the front? Woolen cloth!

But again, if there are no accidents, accidents will definitely happen.

When the two wings of the Han army's crab formation were encircling, something went wrong.

In the front row of the Han army's right wing are the tribes of the Hongnong Huayin Yang family and the Huayin Liu family, with a total of a thousand soldiers. On the left wing of the Han army are the local powerful forces of Henan County, one is the Yang family of Xingyang, and the other is Yanshi. Zhang family.

Needless to say, the Yang family of Huayin is a clan family parallel to the Yuan family of Runan. The leader of the army is now Yang Biao's nephew Yang Gan, who is at the age of Jian Rui. As for the Liu family of Huayin , no worse than Yang’s.

His family is both a Han clan and a public clan. This clan is the descendant of Liu Xi, the second brother of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty. In the past two dynasties, Liu Qi was the disciple of Emperor Shun, and his son Liu Kuan, It was the old Taiwei of this dynasty who was granted the title of Marquis of Luxiang. He lived in 600 households and was known as an elder in the country. The man who led the Liu tribe into the war was Liu Song, the son of the old Taiwei Liu Kuan.

And who is the Yang family of Xingyang on the right? The leader is named Yang Ke, whose courtesy name is Zhongyi. At this time, he was just a local tycoon, but in the future he was a heroic cavalry general of Cao Wei, and he also opened up a generation of martial arts, and several generations of him followed. It is Wu Xun. As for the companion Zhang family of Yanshi, they are naturally descendants of Zhang Cang. Our old friend Zhang Chong, the governor of Yingyin County, comes from his family. The leader of the army is also Zhang Chong's nephew, Zhang Yue.

Originally, as the military order from Huang Wan of the Chinese Army came, the two wings were ordered to encircle. The four leading families of the two wings should have followed the order.

But something went wrong on the right wing. To be precise, it was the son of the old Taiwei Liu Kuan, and something happened to Liu Song. At the last moment, he persuaded Yang Gan to stop the two troops. The reason was to let the left wing

Surround them first, wait for the situation to open up over there, and then they can overwhelm them at the right time.

Liu Song was an elder of the same generation as Yang Biao, Yang Gan's uncle. After hearing this, Yang Gan wanted to refuse, but he did not dare to violate it. Moreover, he asked the local tycoons in Henan to test it for them first. Yang Gan also felt that it was not a bad idea in his heart.

Liu Song's behavior is undoubtedly very serious, but the behavior pattern of this kind of public servant has long been used to others sacrificing for him, and he doesn't think it's anything.

The two young men over there, Yang Ke and Zhang Yue, had no idea that the old man had changed his mind before the battle, so they foolishly followed the original military strategy and rushed towards the right wing of Guan Yu's formation.

But since Guan Yu decided to lead his army forward, how could he not know the Han army's move? He had already made a plan. So Guan Yu in the formation waved two flags, accompanied by the fierce sound of war drums and conch shells.

This is the semaphore of the new formation, which means that the two units on the left and right will change to the left and come out. In the formation, the left wing general Zhang Nan, the left wing general Li Jing, and the right wing general Gao Ya received military orders.

, Chen Guangdu led his troops to make a right bend, and began to turn left or right on the same spot, and then moved forward to the left and right.

This was not over yet. The same flag and golden drum sounded again. This time, Tao Yong, the general on the left, and Zhu Ying, the general on the right, were ordered to lead their troops forward and join the front song to thicken their defense line.

In this way, after a change of formation, the original square array became a large hollow square array. In the front were the four curves of the middle and front curves, and on the left and right sides were the four curves of the left and right curves. Guan Yu's guards, Li Damu,

, Dian Wei's guards stayed behind the formation together with the two units of Houqu. Then, at the four corners, people deployed horseback troops to cover both sides of the protrusions on each side.

On the right wing of the formation, Yang Ke, who was leading the charge, was shocked. He did not expect that the opposite party would suddenly change the formation, and the change of formation was so fast! Looking at the right wing of the rebel army that had already formed, Yang Ke gritted his teeth and continued with his troops.

His subordinates rushed over.

As the saying goes, when we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. He, Yang Ke, has never been weaker than anyone else in his life.

Wearing three layers of armor, Yang Ke was still walking as fast as he could. Although he had not yet reached the peak of his martial arts at this time, his physical strength was at its peak, but he was just less experienced than he would be in the future.

He put down his visor and charged forward like a war horse. When they were a hundred steps away from the enemy's right wing, they were the first to encounter an attack from the archers in the opposite formation.

A downpour of arrows covered these heroic troops, but hitting their armor had little effect. They continued to rush among the arrows, and only a lot of unlucky ones were caught by the arrows.

Injected and fell to the ground.

Looking at the orderly formation of the Taishan Army, Yang Ke, who was behind the mask, finally let out a thunderous roar. When he was still ten steps away from the opposite side, he suddenly felt nervous and subconsciously slowed down his body.

Only then did he realize that something was wrong. It turned out that the giant spear on the opposite side had not yet been put down, but he realized it too late. At this time, with an order from the opposite side, countless steps like trees were smashed down with a crash. Many of them were smashed down.

Yang Ke's soldiers who rushed too fast were knocked to the ground. They twitched and foamed at the mouth, and then stopped moving.

Yang Ke's body felt cold, which was the coldness of escaping from death, and then his whole body became hot, which was the heat of blood rushing to his body. He wanted to avenge his companions.

So he yelled, jumped on the spear, and was overwhelmed. Then he jumped up like a fox, and the ring-headed knife in his hand slashed hard at the Taishan soldiers who had no steps, directly slashing

Several people died. Afterwards, dozens of armored soldiers, like Yang Ke, threw themselves on the spear formation, using their armor to clear the way for the robes behind them.
