The Han army led by Wu Han and the Shu army led by Xie Feng had a head-on confrontation five miles south of Chengdu.
In this battle, the Shu army had an absolute advantage in strength, but the morale of the Han army was even higher.
Wu Han had already made a bold statement. As long as Chengdu was conquered, everything in Chengdu could be looted by the Han soldiers. They could plunder as much or as little as they wanted. It all depended on their own abilities.
Chengdu was the capital of the Cheng family court and the headquarters of Gongsun Shu. There were countless dignitaries gathered in it, and there were countless gold, silver and jewels.
The eyes of the Han soldiers turned red when they thought that after the city was broken, everything in the city could be plundered by oneself.
The 20,000 Han army faced off against the 60,000 Shu army. In terms of momentum, the Shu army, which was outnumbered, was not high. However, the Han army had strong morale and the whole army moved forward.
The battle formations of both sides moved in opposite directions and soon came into contact. The sound of shields clashing continued to sound in the center of the battlefield. Countless halberds and spears protruded from behind the shields and stabbed at the enemy on the opposite side.
The front row soldiers of both armies fell to the ground in groups.
As the fighting continued, the casualties on both sides rose linearly. One battalion, with two thousand men, pushed forward in front of the two armies' formations. In a short time, almost all of them were exhausted.
At the beginning, the Shu army could still hold on, gritting its teeth and fighting to the death with the Han army. However, after half an hour, the Han army's offensive continued like a surge. On the other hand, the Shu army on the opposite side began to show signs of weakness. The soldiers in front
, was attacked by the Han army and retreated continuously.
Seeing that the Shu army's forward strength was exhausted and its remaining strength was insufficient, the Han army's attacks became more and more fierce.
When fighting the Han army, the Han army must not be allowed to gain the upper hand. Once the Han army has the upper hand, it will be even more difficult to reverse the situation.
As the Han army soldiers stepped up their offensive, the Shu army's front army was beaten back again and again.
Xie Feng, who was in command of the central army, had cold sweat on his forehead. He hurriedly mobilized the central army and the rear army to advance forward to assist the front army and withstand the Han army's offensive.
After the central and rear armies of the Shu army joined the battle, the defeat of the Shu army was stopped in time.
Wu Han saw that his soldiers were not successful in attacking and wanted to go into battle himself. The generals around him stopped him one after another and persuaded him: "Da Sima is still injured and cannot go into battle!"
"Da Sima is related to the whole army and the entire war situation. Please put the overall situation first!"
Under the persuasion of the generals of the Han army, Wu Han gave up the idea of going into battle in person. He ordered the general Ma Qing who commanded the front army to be recalled. Ma Qing was a general of the Southern Expeditionary Army and an old subordinate of Cen Peng.
.
Ma Qing quickly ran up to Wu Han without even getting off his horse. He stepped on the horse and saluted, saying: "The general will pay homage to Da Sima!"
Wu Han had no unnecessary nonsense and asked directly: "Ma Qing, can you defeat the enemy in front?"
Ma Qing frowned secretly and said seriously: "Da Sima, originally the enemy army has shown signs of defeat, but... the enemy army has just dispatched the central and rear troops to the front. Now the enemy army has too many soldiers and horses participating in the battle. Our troops...
…”
Before he finished speaking, Wu Han waved his hand and said: "I don't want to listen to these useless nonsense. You just need to tell me whether you can repel the enemy. If not, you quickly make way for me so that I can repel them."
Enemy brothers go into battle!"
When Ma Qing heard this, his face turned red, he raised his hands to Wu Han and said, "Da Sima, I will be able to repel the enemy!"
"This is what you said!"
"yes!"
"If you can't defeat the enemy, then come and see me!"
"General, I obey!" Ma Qing bowed his hand to Wu Han again, then turned his horse's head and returned to the battlefield on the front army's side.
After Ma Qing returned to the front army camp, he ordered his generals and battalion captains to lead his troops to attack the enemy with all their strength. They would either kill all the enemies in the front or be killed by the enemies in the front.
Wu Han's fighting style has always been very tough. He wanted the results no matter how much sacrifice he had to make.
Regardless of price, we must achieve results.
The soldiers below are all dead. Let’s go up to the team. When all the team’s leaders are dead, they will be the military lords. The military commanders will be killed immediately. These generals are also dead. They will be the captains and generals. In short, he must achieve what he wants.
strategic goals.
Now, Ma Qing has also risked his life and went into battle to kill the enemy himself. Generals have the heart to die, and soldiers have no desire to live.
The soldiers of the Han army followed Ma Qing and fought with their lives against the Shu army on the opposite side. Looking at the battlefield, the Han army seemed to have been pumped with blood as they frantically charged towards the Shu army on the opposite side.
The Han army at the front fell down, and the Han army behind them stepped on the corpses of their comrades and continued to attack and kill madly until they themselves were killed and exhausted.
If one person fights hard, ten will be defeated; if a hundred people fight hard, a thousand will be defeated. The current Han army has taken this ancient saying to its extreme.
On the battlefield, the situation was changing. The Shu army had just reversed the situation, but in an instant, it took a turn for the worse. The 60,000-strong Shu army was forced into defeat by the 20,000-strong Han army.
This situation made Xie Feng couldn't help but take a breath and sighed in his heart, Wu Han is a true god! The soldiers under Wu Han are really the masters of tigers and wolves!
Just when Xie Feng had the intention to retreat and planned to give up the frontal resistance against the Han army and wanted to lead his troops to withdraw to the camp and defend, Yuan Ji led his troops to the battlefield.
Yuan Ji had 40,000 Shu troops under his command. When the fierce battle between the Wu Han army and Xie Feng army reached the most critical moment, Yuan Ji's army attacked from the flank of the Han army.
The sudden arrival of 40,000 Shu troops suddenly reversed the situation on the battlefield. The morale of the Han army, which had been so high just now, was suddenly in chaos.
Wu Han secretly gritted his teeth and saw that he was about to defeat Xie Feng. But at this moment, Yuan Ji led his troops to the battlefield. This is really even God helping Xie Feng!
He pulled the reins of his horse and shouted loudly: "Han cavalry, follow me to meet the enemy!"
The cavalry in Wu Han's army was full of strength, but there were only more than a thousand cavalry. However, the attacking Yuan Ji's army had 40,000 people. If a thousand people faced 40,000 people, could this battle be fought?
The generals of the Han army gathered around Wu Han and said anxiously: "Da Sima, reinforcements from the Shu thieves have arrived. We can no longer fight this battle. Please retreat quickly!"
"Yes, Grand Sima, withdraw your troops as soon as possible! If you don't withdraw your troops, there is a danger of the whole army being annihilated!"
Wu Han raised his hand and pointed to the north, shouting loudly: "Chengdu is right there! Today's battle is a decisive battle! Anyone who dares to withdraw troops will be dealt with according to military law!"
After speaking, Wu Han took off his silver halberd and shouted: "The cavalry will follow me to meet the enemy!"
Using a thousand men to fight against 40,000 enemy troops was an incredible and unimaginable battle. In the world, probably only Wu Han dared to fight like this!
Wu Han went into battle wounded, led a thousand cavalry, rushed out of the Han army's main formation, and went straight towards the surprise attack of Yuan Ji's army.
Before the two sides came into contact, the Shu army's arrow array had already poured down. Wu Han waved his halberd and used military terms. A thousand cavalry were arranged from horizontal to vertical, minimizing the area under attack.
.
Wu Han, who was running at the front, brandished his halberd, fired arrows, and the sound of clanging could be heard all around him. Among the charging Han cavalry, some people were hit by arrows and fell from their horses, or both men and horses rolled over.
On the ground.
When Wu Han was less than ten steps away from the Shu army's camp, he waved his halberd to the left and right. The Han cavalry arranged themselves vertically, then suddenly returned to their original horizontal arrangement.
The cavalry charged into the formation, kicking up dust all over the sky, like a huge sandstorm rushing towards the Shu army camp.
Boom, boom, boom!
The moment the two sides came into contact, the sound of war horses hitting shields became one. The soldiers in the front row of the Shu army were knocked upside down and screamed repeatedly.
Wu Han took the lead and charged into the enemy camp. Everywhere he passed was covered in blood, and countless Shu soldiers fell under the mighty silver halberd of the tiger.
Wu Han's bravery, big drum
The cavalry officers and soldiers danced, and the people followed Wu Han and charged towards the Shu army camp with all their strength.
With only a thousand cavalry, Yuan Ji's front army, which numbered tens of thousands, rushed and killed them, causing a huge chaos.
The Shu army general who commanded the front army was sitting on a war horse, holding a sword, and kept shouting and shouting. But suddenly, there was a chaos in the camp directly in front of him, and then, a horse suddenly rushed out of the Shu army crowd.
, rushed straight towards him.
The Shu general turned pale with fright, hurriedly swung his sword forward and shouted: "Shoot the incoming enemy!"
The guards around him picked up their crossbows and fired arrows forward. The other party waved their halberds and actually blocked all the crossbow arrows fired by the guards.
This situation frightened the Shu general so much that he was about to turn his horse and retreat when the Han general rode up to him like a whirlwind.
Buzz!
Before anyone arrived, the halberd arrived first. With a harsh whistling sound, the halberd slashed diagonally at the Shu general.
The Shu general hurriedly raised his sword to parry, and a clang was heard in his ear. The Shu general's sword fell from his hand and fell to the ground. The force of the halberd continued unabated and split his head in half diagonally.
The body with only half a head left fell from the horse. The Han general who rushed over and was unstoppable was Wu Han. During the battle, Wu Han really succeeded in taking the enemy general's leader among thousands of troops.
class.
As soon as this Shu general died, the front army of the Shu army became even more chaotic. Groups of soldiers gave up resistance and fled backward.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Yuan Ji of the central army commanded the central and rear troops to advance forward, killing both the enemy troops who were rushing over and the retreating own soldiers.
The defeated Shu army, after being killed row after row by their own comrades, finally did not dare to retreat anymore and turned around to continue to fight the Han army.
Wu Han was ferocious enough, and the cavalry he led was indeed powerful, but after all, they only had a thousand men, while the Shu army had forty thousand.
Soon, Yuan Ji used iron-blooded tactics to stop his own defeat, and also launched a reverse advance against the cavalry led by Wu Han.
Wu Han was in the midst of the rebellious army, rushing left and right. Just as he was about to kill him, a long battle flag of the Shu army suddenly appeared in front of him. The big flag in the center was the commander's flag of the Shu army.
Seeing this, Wu Han was overjoyed and without thinking, he spurred his horse and rushed over.
When Wu Han was about to rush to the enemy's flag formation, the large battle flags were all brought down to the ground. Without the protection of the battle flags, all the Shu soldiers hidden in the battle flags were exposed.
This is a square formation composed of thousands of Shu soldiers. Each Shu soldier holds a repeating crossbow in his hand.
After seeing the Shu army clearly, Wu Han secretly screamed, but at this time he wanted to turn his horse's head and run back the same way, but it was already too late.
Just as bang bang bang was heard, the sound of crossbow machines ejecting was heard in the Shu army camp, and thousands of crossbow arrows flew towards Wu Han.
No matter how powerful Wu Han was in martial arts, he could not block so many crossbow arrows, and the distance between the two sides was still so close.
Wu Han tried his best to block the arrows with his halberd, but he was still hit by two arrows on his shoulder and lower abdomen. The war horse under Wu Han's crotch became a target and turned into a hedgehog by the arrows.
The war horse neighed and fell to the ground. Wu Han also fell off the horse. Seeing this, Yuan Ji, who was behind the Shu army's formation, was so excited that his eyes almost bulged out. He shouted: "Prevent arrows!
Capture Wu Han alive!"
Killing Wu Han was an unparalleled feat, and capturing Wu Han would be an unparalleled feat. At this moment, Yuan Ji felt that he was only one step away from this unparalleled feat. He only had to stretch out his hand to do it.
Grab it into your own hands.
After hearing Yuan Ji's order, the officers and soldiers of the Shu army stopped shooting arrows, put away their crossbows, drew their swords, and surrounded Wu Han. Before they had time to surround Wu Han, another group of more than a hundred people rushed in front and killed them.
