If the soldiers on both sides had the opportunity to look at the sky at this time, they would find that the sky at noon began to darken, although there were only a few pure white clouds isolated between the sky and the earth. Logically speaking, this situation is not surprising, but on the battlefield
The sky is obviously different from other places: the evaporating moist blood and sweat, accompanied by the life temperature of the soldiers, the birds rise and gather, and then combined with the local transpiration snow vapor, actually form a thick mist-like
The moisture shrouded the battlefield, making it look solemn and terrifying, as gloomy as hell.
From the moment he saw the Jinfan bandits leading an army into Hu Zhen's left army, Chen Chong knew that Liu Fan had fallen into his plan. The Shu army wanted to break through the battlefield from the flanks, but had already left the central army empty. On his first day
The hidden cavalry was just for this moment. For this reason, he divided his 6,000 cavalry into two groups. One group was composed of 4,000 light cavalry. They were led by Wu Yuan, the magistrate of Xi County, and rushed to the aid of Hu Zhen's troops.
, and the remaining two thousand cavalry will be led by himself, and the target will be as far as the middle army of the Shu army.
Chen Chong's decision was originally quite controversial. After all, Chen Chong is the commander of the entire army, not a fighting general. Once there is damage, the entire army may be affected. However, Chen Chong said: "To attack a large number with a small number is inherently risky.
, Now charging into the battle with fine cavalry, it is even more desperate to survive. If you are not a general, you can't control the crowd, but who else can you be?" So he finally convinced everyone and handed over the important task of stabilizing the Chinese army to Zhang Ji.<
/p>
At this time, when the order was given, Chen Chong unfurled the flag of "Feng Gong and Fighting the Rebellion" with a white background and a green border. At this time, the flag drooped due to the lack of wind, but as soon as the horses started running, the ten-foot-long flag suddenly stretched out, and the four characters on the flag were like
Flying like a dragon and a snake, the soldiers in front saw it, and they were all shocked and said: "Is it the commander's own formation that rushes into the battle?" These Liang people originally admired the soldiers who dared to rush into the battle, but now they saw that Chen Chong actually dared to take charge.
He was even more moved when he rushed into battle, and he also confirmed his confidence to continue fighting. Even though the Shu soldiers in front of him were like endless waves, they all left life and death behind. More people gathered and followed Chen Chong towards
The Shu people launched a counterattack.
In an instant, the counterattacking Han cavalry rushed between the two wings of the Shu people. Since they were not prepared in advance, neither the Shu army nor the Han army expected Chen Chong's cavalry to charge so fast. After all, every cavalryman
They all brought two horses, so they didn't think about saving horse power at all. However, the Crane Wing Formation arranged by Liu Fan in advance stretched the battle line too long, causing the Shu soldiers on both sides to see this cavalry rushing straight towards the Chinese army.
In the end, most of them were left far away by the cavalry before they had time to react. The few who shot arrows at the Han cavalry had great difficulty hitting the running horses.
The ride leaves behind a trail of smoke and dust.
While whipping his riding whip wildly, Chen Chong left most of the Shu army behind, but he also knew that the real decisive battle with the Shu army had just begun. Considering that the horses under him were already panting, Chen Chong ordered a temporary change of horses.
, in just a few breaths, thousands of Shu people had already swarmed on both sides. Under General Liu Fan’s order to march, they were bound to use their flesh and blood to block the advance of the Han cavalry.
But the swords and halberds of the Shu people were already regarded as nothing by Chen Chong. When the Shu people were approaching, Chen Chong said to the knights around him: "Remember what I said, don't care about leveling, and don't care about what's behind you.
Just charge forward." The knights passed on Chen Chong's orders one after another. Just before the Shu army was about to encircle them, the Han cavalry suddenly picked up their horse speed and rushed towards the east again.
Not far ahead was the first spear formation of the Shu army. Almost in the blink of an eye, the people of Shu saw more than ten knights forming a sharp arrow and rushing towards them abruptly. The momentum of the galloping horses could be seen from a distance.
In fact, that's it, but as they got closer, the Shu people felt trembling all over their bodies, as if they had understood the outcome of death in advance, and couldn't help but close their eyes. After all, they had no way to retreat, so they could only stand with the awareness of death.
In place, blindly poke out the tip of the potion.
The first person to enter the battle was a Sanshui man named Duan Gu. The moment he entered the battle, he clamped his long stick with his elbows, and with a few horses' neighing sounds, he quickly poked the current Shu man.
The huge inertia of the sudden stop caused Duan Gu's mount to fly into the air with its front hooves. Before the Shu man who was hit had time to scream, the beast-like mount's front hooves pounced down in the air, trampling the Shu man directly.
He was trampled to death on the muddy ground.
Such a violent death was unbearable for the Shu people. Facing the dozen or so Han cavalry following behind them, the Shu soldiers at the forefront finally couldn't restrain their inner fear and retreated slightly. But this retreat, p>
This created an opportunity for the Han army to break through. These Han cavalry seized the time and jumped directly into the Shu army's formation. They held the reins of their horses with one hand and controlled the horses to circle back and forth in the gap. Any Shu soldiers who came close would be attacked.
They were beaten with long sticks.
The Shu soldiers were surprised to find that these Han cavalry were not carrying the usual horse spears or halberds, but long sticks made of elm wood. This was what Chen Chong relied on. He thought that the long sticks were not as powerful as the long sticks.
The thorn can cut, but it is light in the end. Moreover, the enemy is wearing armor, and it is difficult to break through the armor with long sticks, but the long stick can break the spine of the enemy, hurt the enemy's heart, and make the enemy lose combat power faster.
The Shu soldiers tried to use their knives to slash, but they soon fell into the trap. They were far less agile than the Han cavalry. These knights holding sticks and striking back and forth were like an iron spider web with the cooperation of their horses.
People who came close to this net were quickly tortured to the point of exhaustion. Some of those who were unfortunate enough to be hit on the head with a stick died on the spot and fell into the pit with an expression of astonishment.
After this brief stalemate, the victory seemed to be tilting rapidly towards the counterattackers. About hundreds of Chen Cangqi troops had already rushed into the central formation. The Shu army was driven back by the tall Bingzhou horses and gradually became unable to withstand it. Some of the elite soldiers
After the pawn was defeated, many people turned around and ran away. They crowded together, collapsed and fled in all directions.
Chen Chong, who was commanding the battle among the cavalry, breathed a long sigh of relief, but Te also knew that there was still one last hurdle left, so he said to everyone: "Don't relax, keep moving forward!" All the knights responded with high spirits.
At this time, the last center of the Shu army had gradually emerged. Under the shadow of the sun, the Han cavalry could see the drum formation of the Shu army not far away. Although the drums were still rumbling, there were not many soldiers in front.
To them, these drums sound more like the wailing of the Shu army struggling before death. As long as they step on the iron hoof for the last time, the victory of the Shu army will disappear with the sound of drums.
Chen Chong looked around and vaguely saw a gorgeous hunting canopy in front of the drum formation. Looking closer, he could see that there was a white unicorn flag of more than ten feet standing next to the flying canopy. Under the flag, there were still hundreds of horses surrounding it.
, surrounded by many well-dressed nobles, he thought to himself: "Could it be that Boyu (Liu Fan) is here?" He only had a thought and made a decision: "Even if he is not here, it is enough to defeat Shu in one battle.
You are so courageous!" Then he said sternly: "Gentlemen, the victory or defeat depends on this moment, the one who captures the flag first will be the first to win!"
When the Han army saw that there were not many men and horses under their command, they couldn't help but be overjoyed. They were eager to fight, and immediately they swarmed forward, no longer standing in line, and rushed towards the command like a torrent. In the blink of an eye, they were close.
At this time, the center of the Shu army was indeed Liu Fan's headquarters, but Liu Fan was beating the drums in the drum formation himself and was not here at all. The people guarding the building were his 400 guards and the school captain.
It’s just Zhang Ren’s sixty horses.
When Zhang Ren saw the Han cavalry suddenly rushing up, he was almost beside him in the blink of an eye. Many of them didn't even have a chance to set up their bows and shoot arrows. Only a row of sparse arrows missed. In front of the heavy armor of the Han army, even a few arrows were fired.
Only a few people were injured. The knights in the front row quickly rushed to Zhang Ren, and the horse teams were entangled and intertwined. The Han army used sticks and the Shu army used spears. Both sides poked and slapped each other, and some people kept falling off their horses.
The Han army defeated the outnumbered in numbers, and the people who came after them crossed the two warring parties from both sides and attacked directly under the white unicorn flag. Although they did not know the identities of the Shu army generals, as long as they saw the gorgeously dressed people, they would chase them forward.
With blows and blows, in just two moments, thirteen important generals of the Shu army were killed: Fan Min, a literary scholar, Gao Yi, a senior official, Gao Shi, the prime minister of Beifu, and Lu Zhen, the prefect of Jiangyang. Liu Yanci
Liu Dan, the censor of Zi Zhi Shu, was also discovered by the Han cavalry. Just when the Han cavalry were about to fight, Liu Dan quickly took out the gold, bowed to the Han cavalry and said: "I am Liu Dan, the second son of the King of Shu, and I have a close relationship with Long Shou."
Old friend, please bring me to Longshou." So the Han cavalry tied his hands with ropes and brought him to Chen Chong like a cow.
Chen Chong was under the flag at this time, scanning the changes on the battlefield around him. He did not see Liu Fan, and he also found that the Shu army was not as disorganized as expected, which made him feel anxious. Thinking about the situation in his mind, he quickly
Then I figured out the reason: the Shu army put the central army behind and stretched the line too long. Although the cavalry rushed the central army into chaos, it could not spread the chaos to the two wings, and the main army that was fighting could not keep up with the cavalry.
Instead, he became a lone army! To secure victory now, I am afraid that the only option is to capture Liu Fan alive.
At this time, Chen Chong was overjoyed when he saw his subordinates bringing Liu Dan.
But he asked calmly: "Is Uncle Yu okay? Where is Boyu? We are reunited after a long separation, why don't you come out to see your old friend?"
Unexpectedly, Liu Dan didn't know Liu Fan's whereabouts. He just thought that the situation was over, and sighed to Chen Chong, "My brother is no longer here. As a defeated general, what can I say? I just ask the dragon head to treat the people of Shu well."
Scholars."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a loud trumpet sound came from the south of the battlefield. Chen Chong suddenly looked back and saw that on the north and south slopes, the black infantry formations were gathering together, approaching the Chinese army step by step. He immediately understood Liu
Fan's movements made him whisper to himself: "I made a mistake and missed the edge!"
Nearly 20,000 infantrymen from Shu are encircling Chen Chong's cavalry under the command of Liu Fan.
