The sled tactics really exceeded the imagination of the Xianbei people. Before they knew what was happening, most of their tribesmen were captured by the Tengjia army.
In one winter, the Tengjia Army seized a million cattle and sheep, and captured more than 200,000 Xianbei people, but its own casualties did not exceed 3,000, most of which were due to frostbite rather than injuries caused by battle.
The Xianbei people are indeed very slow in winter. Half of the Xianbei tribe was captured by Xu Wei, and they didn't even know it yet.
In the later stage, they finally knew that the Tengjia Army was attacking them in winter. But they didn't know how to fight back. They couldn't even find a way to defend themselves against the Tengjia Army. The range of the Sled Army's attack reached the North Sea, which was almost a breakthrough.
The territory of the Xianbei people was lost, which meant that under Xu Wei's attack, the Xianbei people had no rear and could not find a place to hide.
The heavy snow divided the tribes of the entire grassland into the entire desert. They could not assemble at all. It was impossible to assemble and they could only watch Xu Wei cut their flesh with a blunt knife and cut off their tribesmen with one knife.
When the winter passed, the Xianbei people in the grassland discovered that the entire Xianbei people in the central and western tribes, except for a few fish that slipped through the net, were all captured by the Tengjia army.
The Xianbei people's hegemony in the grassland was completely defeated by the Tengjia Army this winter. After they degenerated into a tribe in Liaodong, the new overlord of the desert has become Thunder God!
Nowadays, there are legends on the grassland about Tengjia Army's thunder guild's thunder method. When a thunder method passes by, not a single blade of grass will grow in a radius of thousands of miles. He is as invincible as a god!
Thunder God has become the most feared person in the entire grassland!
And when the entire Tengjia Army was dealing with the Xianbei people.
Liu Bei also seized this rare opportunity and led his 140,000 troops to attack Zhang Yan's tribe.
Liu Bei knew that if he didn't seize this opportunity to eliminate Zhang Yan, it would be too difficult to find an opportunity to eliminate Zhang Yan after Lei Gong came to his senses! So he marched very fast.
After the Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Yan had a few small victories against the Han Army last time, their confidence increased greatly. Not only did they not defend themselves against Liu Bei's 140,000-strong army, but they actively stepped forward and obtained Xu Wei's 60,000 pieces of armor.
, he also felt that this opportunity was rare, and planned to take advantage of the opportunity to improve his combat effectiveness to completely eliminate Liu Bei's troops, so as to occupy the entire Jizhou!
On the Great Plains of Wei County, the Yellow Turban Army and the Han Army, nearly 500,000 strong, met again. Both sides were determined to win this battle!
Liu Bei's army had 110,000 infantry in the center and 30,000 cavalry on both wings. They were ready to fight to the death.
Zhang Yan's 300,000 troops also lined up in a long queue, lining up facing Liu Bei!
The war drums of both sides beat, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the murderous aura filled the Great Plains of Wei County!
In order to quickly eliminate Zhang Yan, Liu Bei took the initiative and ordered Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun to lead the cavalry to attack the flank of the Yellow Turban Army!
Zhang Fei, who was in the vanguard, once again saw the Yellow Turban Army charging towards them with spears, and was extremely excited to finally avenge his past humiliation.
However, this time he did not lead his cavalry to rush directly into the Yellow Turban Army's spear phalanx. Instead, he led 15,000 cavalrymen to run wildly, looking for the Yellow Turban Army's weaknesses. Under his command, the cavalry brigade ran in an arc to avoid
They left the front where the Yellow Turban Army had the strongest defense, and instead attacked from the flanks!
"Kill!" Zhang Fei took the lead and shouted.
The soldiers around him also raised the speed of their galloping horses to the limit. The sound of horse hooves was deafening, and ten thousand cavalry rushed towards the phalanx of the Yellow Turban Army, which was hit by a torrent!
The sound of the war drums of the Yellow Turban Army was also shocking.
Although they all used spears that could deal with cavalry, in the face of Zhang Fei's flank attack, the phalanx of 5,000 people still had difficulty changing their formation! They could only watch as Zhang Fei's cavalry got closer and closer to them!
"10 steps!"
"5 steps!"
The two armies collided, causing a loud "boom" sound.
The two armies fought together, and soon the screams of war horses and the clash of swords could be heard in the wilderness.
The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army could not change the direction of their spears, so they could only watch helplessly as Zhang Fei led the cavalry and killed his comrades!
In less than a stick of incense, a 5,000-man spear phalanx was completely destroyed by Zhang Fei's cavalry, and the defeated troops continued to flee to the rear!
Wang Dang, the vanguard of the Yellow Turban Army, shouted: "All soldiers turn left and point their spears at the enemy!"
The soldiers in the second phalanx slowly and gradually changed the direction of their spears!
This made Wang Dang very impatient. If this was among the Tengjia Army, it would be possible to completely change direction in an instant. And even though there were officers in the Yellow Turban Army who were helped by Lei Gong to train them, it still took half a stick of incense, but it was so long.
By that time, the enemy had already defeated his phalanx!
Zhang Fei was just able to defeat the phalanx in front, but because he didn't turn around in time, Zhang Fei rushed to the flank and defeated them!
Wang Dang looked at Zhang Fei in front of him and roared: "Zhang Fei, rush over if you have the ability!"
But Zhang Fei held the bloody spear and smiled: "Don't worry, I won't go around you this time!"
Then Zhang Fei shouted: "Change the direction and continue to look for the enemy's flank to attack!"
After finishing the whole cavalry, he mobilized the Yellow Turban Army to the rear and continued to look for the Yellow Turban Army's weaknesses. Zhao Yun on the right wing also used the same tactics. He used the mobility of the cavalry to constantly mobilize the Yellow Turban Army and use bows and arrows to kill the Yellow Turban Army. As long as the Yellow Turban Army
If a flaw is revealed, Zhao Yun must have cavalry to break through the Yellow Turban Army's formation!
In the central formation of the army, Liu Bei arranged the private soldiers of the noble clans who had a deep hatred for the Yellow Turban Army at the front. The 50,000-strong army, in 10 square formations, under the command of the examiners, slowly and uniformly approached the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army.
!
War drums roared, crossbows rained like rain on the battlefield, soldiers from both sides advanced slowly, and the sound of killing was loud. No soldiers fell in the formations of both sides, but the soldiers on both sides had no background, but braved the sky under the orders of their commanders.
The rain of arrows keeps moving forward!
Shen Pei held a long sword in one hand and a shield in the other and shouted angrily: "The rise and fall of the Han Dynasty will be fought again. I ask all the troops to fight bravely to kill the enemy!"
After saying that, he rushed to the forefront of the army! The morale of the soldiers behind him was greatly boosted, and they followed Shen Pei to kill the Yellow Turban Army!
5,000 soldiers shouted to kill and crashed into the Yellow Turban camp!
Wulu, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, saw the Han army approaching and shouted: "Heaven is dead, Huang Tian is here to stand!"
5,000 soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army roared: "Heaven is dead, Huang Tian will stand!" The slogan rushed towards the Han army formation!
"Boom!" Soldiers from both sides collided! The entire battlefield was filled with dust and the sound of killing was loud!
The soldiers on both sides rushed down as quickly as the ice melted, and the entire battlefield was filled with blood! But the soldiers on both sides did not take a step back.
Under the command of Shen Pei, the Han army cooperated in small groups, using more to defeat fewer, and continued to slaughter the Yellow Turban soldiers.
The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were not afraid of death. Even if they were seriously injured, they would pull down the soldiers of the Han Army to support them! So even though the Yellow Turban Army suffered more casualties on the battlefield, the Han Army was still suppressed by the momentum of the Yellow Turban Army.
!
Shen Pei's body was covered in blood. Seeing that his side could no longer bear it, he shouted: "Reduce the formation and stabilize the formation!"
Then he said to his messenger: "Order Zhang He in the rear to prepare to respond!"
After Zhang He received the order from the judge, he drew his long sword and shouted: "Kill the enemy!"
The soldiers also followed Zhang He and said: "Kill the enemy!"
The 5,000 soldiers in the rear quickly took the place of the trial and distribution army and fought against the Yellow Turban Army again.
And with this new force, the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were beaten back steadily!
Gu Jie
Wulu took his long sword and shouted: "Don't retreat!"
But he couldn't stop the soldiers from fleeing! Instead, he exposed his own position!
Zhang He discovered the Yellow Turban Army Commander Qu and ran directly to Wulu and said: "Enemy general, please accept your orders!"
Zhang He slashed with all his strength, and Wulu's head flew out of the air.
Then he picked up his head and shouted: "The enemy will die!"
When the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army saw Wulu dead, they collapsed completely!
Suddenly on the battlefield, the war drums started playing again, and a group of Yellow Turban soldiers rushed out. Yu Digen, holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, looked back and shouted: "Brothers, follow me to kill all these Han troops!"
"Kill——!" The Yellow Turban soldiers rushed towards their enemies angrily!
5,000 Yellow Turban Army soldiers raised their weapons high, roared like thunder, and charged at them with an indomitable momentum!
Zhang He immediately faced Yu Digen, who was charging at the front, and wanted to have another beheading battle.
But he didn't expect that Yu Digen's martial arts was much better than Wulu. The two sides fought for more than ten rounds. Although Zhang He had the advantage, Yu Digen could continue to fight due to the strength of the ceramic armor.
Of course Zhang He could continue to fight, but his soldiers had been fighting for a long time, and most of their energy and morale had been consumed. They gradually could not withstand the attacks of the Yellow Turban soldiers, and were beaten back steadily!
"Dang, Dang, Dang!" At this time, the sound of Ming Jin withdrawing his troops came from the battlefield!
Zhang He knocked Yu Digen away with one blow and said: "We will fight again in the end!"
"Brother, are you okay?" Gao Lan was worried that Zhang He would be in danger and brought his army to support him!
Zhang He said with a smile: "The yellow scarf thief can't hurt me yet! Let's retreat first!"
Yu Digen saw that Zhang He had reinforcements but did not continue to pursue him!
The generals of both sides slowly retreated with their soldiers, and then left the battlefield!
The big tent in Liu Bei's army!
Zhang Fei entered first and laughed loudly: "The killing was so exciting today. My cavalry broke through 4 square formations of the Yellow Turban Army in a row, killing at least seven or eight thousand Yellow Turban Army people!"
Liu Bei said expressionlessly: "How many soldiers did we lose?"
Zhang Fei said seriously: "Not many, less than a thousand people!"
Liu Bei looked at Zhao Yun and asked: "Zilong, how is your battle situation?"
Zhao Yundao said: "Yun defeated three military formations of the Yellow Turban Army and suffered 800 casualties!"
Then Xin Pei, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Pan Feng and other captains also reported their casualties in various ways. They withstood the Yellow Turban Army's frontal attack and suffered much higher casualties than Zhang Fei and others! All added up, Liu Bei's army suffered casualties in today's battle.
More than 10,000 people!
Liu Bei continued to ask: "How many casualties did Zhang Yan's troops suffer?"
Zhang Fei and others looked at each other and said, "About 30,000 to 40,000 people!"
Shen Pei thought for a while and said: "Maybe not so high. The Yellow Turban Army's armor is strong. Even if our soldiers are experienced, it is difficult to suppress the Yellow Turban Army's attack. Judging from today's situation, the Yellow Turban Army's casualties are roughly 2
-30,000 people!”
Liu Bei thought a little and said: "In other words, if we continue to fight, the Yellow Turban Army will be wiped out by us in ten days!"
Shen Pei smiled bitterly and said: "If we really fight like this for up to five days, the Yellow Turban Army will not be able to bear the casualties and retreat, but our army cannot bear the casualties of 50,000 people!"
Liu Bei's army has a total of 140,000 people. If the casualties exceed 50,000, he will be stuck on the 30% casualty line. There is a very famous saying in modern times, that is, an army that can endure 30% casualties is an elite ace, and it is obviously not suitable for trial.
I think Liu Beijun can withstand such heavy casualties!
Liu Bei said: "Then we will fight for five days. Let's find a way to kill as many soldiers as possible in these five days while reducing our casualties. This war cannot last too long. If Lei Gong reacts, we will have no chance to annihilate Zhang Yan."
Got it!"
The generals who fought again were all bitter. They wanted to kill more Yellow Turbans and reduce casualties. How to fight this battle?
Yellow Turban Army Camp!
Zhang Yan also led the generals to summarize today's results!
Yang Feng said solemnly: "We killed 10 Qu commanders today, including Wulu Qu commander, and 10 phalanxes were defeated, with as many as 30,000 casualties. Liu Bei's casualties are estimated to be more than 10,000. Today's victory is about
3 to 1!”
This battle loss ratio made everyone silent. This does not mean that they have all fought. Liu Bei still has 40,000 troops. If they continue to fight at this ratio, they can only be defeated!
In particular, the casualties of 10 commanders made them even more frightened. In the past, it was only their subordinates who died, and it was not painful for them. But now, 10 commanders of the Yellow Turban Army have died. This does not mean that the commanders of them have died.
The rate is the same as that of ordinary soldiers, which is unacceptable to many commanders of the Yellow Turban Army!
Wang Dang first shouted: "Keep fighting, we will lose nothing but death. We can bear casualties, and I don't believe the Han army can either!"
‘We are not destined to die!’ Qu Shuai secretly thought in his heart.
After knowing that they may die in battle, many people want to retreat. At the very least, they want to rely on the city for defense. This is much safer than fighting in the field now!
It's a pity that they were staunch hawks before the war, and it's not easy to slap themselves in the face now. They thought about it in their hearts and decided to continue fighting for three days, and then proposed to Zhang Yan to withdraw their troops from Yecheng and rely on the city's defense!
"Of course we must continue to fight, otherwise how can we be worthy of Wuluqushuai and the others who died in the battle!"
"Keep fighting. Today we were unprepared and allowed Liu Bei and the others to take advantage. We will not let Liu Bei and the others have an easy time in the next battle!"
For the next three days, Liu Bei's army and the Yellow Turban Army fought from morning to night every day. The fierce confrontation caused the Yellow Turban Army's casualties to exceed 100,000, and Liu Bei's army also suffered more than 40,000 casualties.
The morale and energy of the soldiers on both sides had been exhausted in the past few days, and the two armies were exhausted and on the verge of collapse.
Jian Yong and others suggested that Liu Bei rest for a few days. They were all worried about the collapse of the army, but Liu Bei remained unmoved!
On the fifth day of the battle, both sides tried their best to defeat each other!
Zhang Yan and Liu Bei spent thousands of their last reserve troops, and the two sides fought until the afternoon!
Several square formations of Liu Bei's army have been defeated by the Yellow Turban Army! Liu Bei's army began to collapse.
Zhang Yan was so happy that she finally defeated Liu Bei!
"Kill them, Liu Bei's Han army will be defeated!" Zhang Yan rushed to the front line with his bodyguards, planning to give Liu Bei a fatal blow!
But at this time, Zhang Yan and the others saw a plume of smoke rising into the sky between the western horizon, rolling violently in the sky like dark clouds before a thunderstorm, and rapidly expanding toward them.
When Zhang Yan and the others took a closer look, they were horrified and said, "Why did the Xiliang army come to Wei County?"
