After the drums sounded, Li Qian, who was lying in ambush on the right, also led his knights to mount their horses and attack the flank of the Han army. They entered the formation from the right wing and swept through like a whirlwind, dividing the Han army in the reeds into two.
Li Qian's eldest son, Li Zheng, also known as Zhicheng, galloped into the battle. Li Zheng was covered in two-dang armor painted brown, and an iron armor was hung in front of the horse to prevent arrows. He was less than seven feet tall and his body was relatively weak. Holding a bow and three arrows in his left hand, he lay on his horse to avoid the rain of arrows. He saw a knight coming with his horse at full tilt. He suddenly stood up, turned the horse's head, and let the horse run sideways facing the enemy. He was about to run away. As he approached, he suddenly turned to the left, held an arrow in his right hand, hooked it up, and shot out an arrow, hitting the knight in the face. The man immediately fell off his horse. After doing this several times, all the arrows in the quiver were used up, so he pulled out the ring. When the first sword came to chop, such a weak-looking young man was invincible on the battlefield. When the knights of the Han army saw it, they shouted: "This kid is very powerful, who can control him?"
At this time, Wei Gu of the Hedong Army was leading the invasion. Seeing Li Zheng's extraordinary bravery, Wei Gu commanded his troops and said: "Killing a good man is like killing a tiger. Don't be careless. Give me dozens of riders." Surround them and shoot them all together!"
Unexpectedly, when he gathered the knights, Li Qian, who was directing the fighting on the side, noticed the changes on the battlefield. He quickly said to the followers around him: "The thieves and knights are all gathering in one place. Apparently the high-ranking officials are among them. Come forward with me, everyone. If we can take advantage of the enemy's position to attack, and our army suddenly sends out surprise troops, and the owl takes its leader, our army will surely win!"
When the followers heard this, they all shouted for wisdom. So Li Qian ignored the old age and charged in public. He only led more than ten cavalry and rushed towards Wei Gu. Wei Gu was about to send people to charge west, but who would have expected? These people were killed again from the north. I originally wanted to order my subordinates to turn and respond, but the horses' hooves were deeply embedded in the mud and it was difficult to use force suddenly. At this time, Li Qian and others were already less than ten steps apart, and they were falling one after another. Among the reeds, both sides looked at each other involuntarily. They saw that both the enemy and ourselves were covered in mud, water and blood, but neither could hide the murderous look in their eyes.
Li Gan grasped the knife and followed the momentum of his mount. His hand sank slightly, and the knife immediately inserted into the belly of a Han cavalry. He immediately abandoned the knife and protruded from the enemy cavalry along the short gap. , before he could turn around, he felt a sharp pain on his back. The attendant on the side said: "My lord has been hit by an arrow!"
Li Qian knew that this was a critical moment, so he ordered his followers to cut off the exposed arrow shafts, and then pulled off a piece of his sleeve robe and wrapped it hastily before he turned his horse back to fight. Then, amidst the panicked shouts of the two armies, a call was heard. The trumpet of the tribe.
However, the Han army's formation was more chaotic and they had no idea of the enemy's situation, so they were slower than Cao's army. When Li Zheng saw his father charging in, his eyes turned red, and he led the cavalry around him to kill from north to south. Entering, the Hedong Army was already in chaos. At this time, it was attacked from two sides, making it even more difficult to defeat the enemy.
Wei Gu was overwhelmed by the defeated troops and almost formed a wave of chaos. But he knew that the army was behind and could not retreat. He directly drew his knife and beheaded three soldiers who were crowding southward, shouting: "The knights of Sanhe have been famous in Kyushu for decades, how can they be humiliated today?" He also whipped the tired soldiers around him with horse whips, and finally managed to stop his decline.
But in doing so, he also exposed his identity. Li Zheng saw Wei Gu preparing his troops dozens of steps away. He immediately drew his arrow and nocked his bow, and suddenly fired a cold arrow in the crowd. The arrow flashed like lightning, and Han Han Neither Cao nor Cao had time to react, and they saw Wei Gu crying out in pain, folding his chest and leaning on the saddle. Seeing this, the attendants on the side quickly helped Wei Gu off the horse, but the governor of Hedong only had time to say a few inaudible words. The body stopped breathing.
It turned out that Li Zheng's arrow had penetrated Wei Gu's breastplate, penetrated into his body from his right breast, and hit his heart.
The Hedong Taigong guard Gu Yi died, and the morale of the entire Hedong army was in chaos. Li Qian took advantage of the situation to lead the army to fight again. The Hedong soldiers who were originally scattered on the edge completely collapsed. Wei Gu's body was also obtained by Li Zheng, who cut off his head and threw it on the left side of the saddle. At this time, he saw that the Chinese army was being invaded by the Han army, so he led more than 20 people to rush eastward and reached Cao Cao's central army. He asked the soldiers in the center: "Is it public security?"
Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard that Li Zheng had beheaded Wei Gu. He came out from the reeds with a knife and met Li Zheng. Cao Cao saw that Li Zheng's knife was stained with blood and had many gaps on the blade, and the horse he was riding had an iron chest. It was full of arrow feathers, like a hedgehog. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "When you see this knife, you will know how many enemies you have killed. No matter how tall a real man is, his wisdom is as strong as iron, and his heart is as strong as iron. Who is called Wenzi?" He immediately cut off the sword in his hand. The sword was given to Li Zheng, along with a quiver filled with fifty armor-piercing arrows. Li Zheng took the sword and arrows, leaving Wei Gu's head behind, and rushed into the formation again.
When the generals and commanders under Cao Cao saw Li Qian leading the right wing to disrupt the Han army, they all fought bravely with their swords.
After Lu Zhao avoided Guan Yu, he felt extremely ashamed, so he chased the Han army regardless of life and death. At this time, the Shangdang army led by Zhang Yang was in front of him. After Zhang Yang followed Guan Yu, he thought he was the elite and wiped out the enemy. He intended to fight to the death. Unexpectedly, Guan Yu had just led his troops to rush west, and he became the vanguard of the Han army. He had to face the desperate attack of Cao Jun's elite, and his offensive immediately fell into decline.
After Lu Zhao charged back and forth, he realized that the enemy in front of him could be bullied, so he immediately asked for orders to fight back. He said to the only thirty knights under his command: "In this fight, don't take away the heads. If you win, you will win, and if you lose, you will be defeated." The day is destined!" So he led the crowd to attack and repeatedly charged and killed the Shangdang army dozens of times. After the stick was broken and the arrows were used up, he temporarily withdrew to rest.
When Cao Cao saw that the war horse he was riding was foaming at the mouth and trembling on its hooves, he would exchange his war horse with it. Looking at the clothes of his group, the road signs were white, so they wore white military uniforms and light-colored armor, but Now they are all dyed red, and the blood and sweat are mixed on the face, making it difficult to distinguish the faces. Unfortunately, although they killed many people, they were not as good as beheadings, and there was still nothing beside the saddle. Cao Cao was moved by his courage and encouraged him: "Look at Jun Jia Shang, you know enough to kill many enemies, why bother to count the levels! After this battle, you all have achieved hundreds of kills!"

Thanks to the cross-attack by Li Qian on the right, the Han army's attack had been contained. However, the army led by Chunyu Qiong on the left resisted and was fiercely attacked by the Han army.
The Han army's Wei Yan command led more than a hundred cavalry into the formation, braving arrows. The iron horses hit each other, and those who failed to dodge were quickly knocked away. Such ravages made Cao's army unstable, and the situation tended to be a melee. Fortunately, the terrain was small, and Cao's army gathered one after another.
Form a small square formation and use long halberds and thick shields to block the cavalry charge. Although there are many cavalry in the Han army, they cannot launch a siege. They can only rotate into the formation, come out and come back, and fight back and forth.
Cao Jun's Sima Wangzheng was an old corps of Zhang Ju, the emperor of Youyan. He was later inspired by Liu Yu to assassinate Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju's comrade and "Mitian General An Ding Wang". He took his head and surrendered to Liu Yu, and was introduced as a confidant by Liu Yu.
Even when Liu Yu was living in seclusion, he did not care about his official position and served his left and right. At this time, Liu Yu's troops and Chunyu Qiong were fighting on the left. When the Han army saw that the formation of Cao's soldiers was difficult to kill, they attacked Liu Yu's troops instead.
Liu Yu's front line could not support his troops, so he had to send him into the line to resist the enemy.
When Wang Zheng went to battle, he led nearly 500 men. However, as he advanced a little south, he was surrounded by Han knights and soon lost contact with each other. He looked around, and the Han knights were surrounding him, but only the Han knights were left around him.
Since then, there have been more than 20 colleagues in Zhang Ju's department, as well as a Zahu Cangtou branch.
Wang Zheng carried more than two hundred arrows on his back, all of which were made by Youzhou before. They were specially used to break armor. The arrows were extremely long and extremely sharp. He opened his bow and shot straight, and all those who hit him were killed immediately. Zhidu was holding a sword beside him to spur his horse.
, so that the Han army did not dare to approach.
At this time, several ownerless horses ran over and stared blankly at Wang Zheng and his party. Wang Zheng saw that the arrows had been shot in half, so he dropped the bows and arrows, tore off two pieces of the dead man's trousers, and pulled off his legs.
He tied up his trousers, turned over and got on his horse, took out his knife and engaged the Han cavalry in close combat. When the Han cavalry saw him charging towards him, they stabbed the horse he had snatched with their long halberds, and the horse's chest was covered with blood.
He had no choice but to jump off his horse again and dive into the reeds that had not been trampled yet.
Among the passing hooves of horses, Wang Zheng noticed that a horse was moving extremely slowly, and it happened to be passing by him again, so he suddenly jumped up and broke the horse's leg. The man on the horse fell off the horse, and before he could get up, he jumped on him and held him down.
On the ground. The fallen horse was actually Qin Yilu, the governor of Xihe. He was pinned to the ground by Wang Zheng, and his face was soaked in the mud and covered with mud. Although he struggled hard, his opponent was too strong and could not break free.
When Qin Yilu saw Wang Zheng reaching out to stab his neck with a sharp knife, he shouted painfully: "Beast! Thief! You will not die well!" Wang Zheng ignored his scolding, shouted "Wan Sheng" repeatedly, and finally forcibly cut off his head.
, and threw it into the puddle of blood nearby.
At this time, he stood up straight and looked around, only to find that all the subordinates who came with him had been slaughtered, leaving only Cangtou Zhidu struggling to support himself.
When the Han cavalry around him saw that the prefect was assassinated, they were all horrified, and then swarmed up to avenge their king. Wang Zheng grabbed a long branch, and with a pair of enemy assassins, they each stood with their chests pierced. But the breath was still there. The Han army was
He rescued his brother, used a knife to split his shoulders, and chopped off both his arms before he died.
Zhidu suffered more than ten wounds on his body, and his whole body was red. Then he was shot into his left eye by an arrow. Blood suddenly flowed all over his face and he lost all sight. He swung his sword and struck at it until all his breath was gone. When he died, he was holding a long sword in his hand without falling.
Even Sergeant Xihe was moved by this and said: "I heard that there were warriors in the Xiongnu who died with dozens of wounds on their heads, especially with a spear. Unexpectedly, they can be seen here. I heard that many of the thieves were warriors."
, this person should be it!"
Little did he know that he was just an ordinary military slave.
The remaining soldiers of Liu Yu's tribe also resisted with all their might, but none surrendered. Although the Han army killed more people, unknowingly, nearly an hour had passed before the battle began. Cao's army still fought hard and was still not defeated.
