There is no doubt about the power of the armored cavalry, and they took advantage of the mobilization of Duan Yan's army to launch a surprise attack. With just one attack, they broke through the three layers of defense of the defenders and directly entered the formation of the crossbowmen.
The spear pierced the armor, making either a crisp or a harsh sound. Rows of infantry were knocked down like wheat. Even if they were not stabbed, the armored cavalry rushing towards them in full armor were all knocked down.
, can knock the person half to death. Amidst the screams, the defender's defense has been broken.
Although the armored cavalry also exhausted its kinetic energy in the continuous collisions and was in an embarrassing state surrounded by a large number of infantry, Lu Bu's light cavalry immediately rushed in along the opened gap. The frontal attack
Hao Meng and others also intensified their offensive efforts. Duan Xuan's army, which was surrounded by enemies on both sides, soon became unable to hold on any longer, and a large number of soldiers began to kneel down and ask for surrender.
They have already surrendered once, and surrendering again is something they are familiar with.
There were still many people who were beaten and retreated repeatedly, but they did not want to surrender to Lu Bu's army because the reputation on the other side was so bad. There were enemy troops in front of them and a river behind them, so they simply turned back and threw themselves into the rolling Wei River.
Duan Xuan watched numbly as the 40,000 troops under his command collapsed, his heart filled with annoyance and regret.
My elder brother once taught me steadfastly and warned again and again that "the military is a major issue for the country and must be considered in the place of life and death." Why did he still want to be obsessed with separatist forces and separatist forces? But then, he had another look on his face.
He showed an ugly smile. Under the circumstances at that time, any hero would be tempted to take action, right?
How many people can resist such a good opportunity? Not everyone can join Huangfu Song!
He stood hopelessly and helplessly on the river embankment, preparing to wait for the last moment to come. The crossbowmen on the side were already in chaos, running around and shouting like headless flies, making various sounds of unknown meaning.
Duan Xuan was already waiting for death, but his soldiers were not prepared to be captured just like that.
"Lord, take off your clothes quickly and cross the river with the horse's head in your arms!"
Duan Xuan struggled and shouted: "The army is scattered, what's the point of my life? Just let me die!"
However, the soldiers did not listen, and stripped him of his armor, took off his helmet and weapons, and pulled him into the river. Duan Yan originally thought about dying, but he was drowned by the river water.
However, his body honestly hugged the horse's neck and refused to let himself be choked again.
You can’t blame me, Duan Xuan thought to himself: If you want to blame it, blame the water for being too cold!
A big wave came over and the men and horses were rushed out. Duan Xuan hugged the horse's neck tightly, rising and falling in the waves of the Weishui River. He did not know how much water was poured into his mouth and nose. Later, his eyesight went dark.
Lost consciousness directly.
When Lu Bu's army began to attack Duan Xuan's army, Chen Cheng had already noticed it, and he immediately ordered the entire army to prepare. A moment later, Tan Ma rushed over and shouted: "Lü Bu's army has launched an attack!"
In this era where communication basically relies on shouting, once the formation of tens of thousands of troops is deployed, it is difficult to make other adjustments. Therefore, many generals will grit their teeth and let the soldiers charge when they know that they will be bruised and bloody.
It's just a wave up. Without it, the retreat may result in more losses, and a lot more, and it may even collapse directly.
Now that Lu Bu's army has begun the attack, there is no possibility of retreating in a short time. Even if they can successfully complete the difficult tactical maneuver of retreating in front of the enemy, it will take a long time to regroup.
Chen Cheng jumped on his horse, raised his lance, pointed it forward, and shouted: "Send orders to Yang Qiu's troops to go around to the rear of the enemy army and attack Lu Bu's army who is attacking Duan Su!"
Bugles and drums sounded on all sides of Anhan City, and infantry and cavalry teams came out one after another and rushed towards the enemy in the distance. The distance between the two armies was less than twenty miles, and the cavalry could not run quickly at this distance.
It can be finished in half an hour.
The light cavalry who set out first easily smashed the remaining reconnaissance force of Lu Bu's army. The cavalry of the large group circled half a circle and inserted into the rear of the enemy's waiting troops. Most of the Xiliang army were cavalry and were highly mobile.
Much higher than the enemy. On a battlefield like the Guanzhong Plain, the side with stronger cavalry would have a huge advantage.
Seeing that the Xiliang bandits did not come to attack, but instead ran towards the rear in a detour, the defender of Lu Bu's army laughed loudly at first, saying that the Xiliang bandits did not understand the art of war at all, how could they leave so many enemies in the rear? Once they were flanked,
An army that was attacked from both sides easily collapsed.
During the Battle of Chencang in the past, Huangfu Song sent Wang Dang to surround the rear, but he ended up exclaiming that his entire army was annihilated.
But when the cavalry of the brigade went around and Zhao Yun led the Flying Bear Hussars and the "Shangfan Cavalry" were approaching, these people could no longer laugh. Will the enemies who inserted themselves into the rear be attacked from both sides?
I don't know, but they are now surrounded. Although I firmly believe that Lu Bu will not give up on them, it can be clearly felt that the morale of the army has dropped a lot.
These people occupy relatively defensive places such as villages, dams, and ponds. The distance between each other is not too far, so they can easily rescue each other. However, all their preparations are based on the fact that the enemy will bump into them. If the enemy does not come,
Woolen cloth?
They fought with Dong Zhuo for a long time, always suppressing the Huns cavalry of Dong Zhuo's army, but they did not expect that the Xiliang people could pull out so many elite cavalry. This was completely different from what they thought before! If they had known Xiliang,
With so many cavalry, Lu Bu would never deploy his army like this.
It's all Duan Yan's fault. If he hadn't behaved so badly, Lu Bu wouldn't have been so arrogant as to use his troops in two!
As the 40,000-strong army quickly inserted behind them, Lu Bu's army was torn in half. The Xiliang army galloping back and forth severed the connection between the front and rear parts, both for Lu Bu.
For the garrison on the west side, when there is no news about friendly forces, it seems that friendly forces do not exist.
The two sides haven't really started fighting yet, but the cavalry of the Xiliang Army has already controlled the situation on the battlefield, forcing the fog of war on the head of Lu Bu's army. The generals of Lu Bu's army guarding the west include Cheng Lian, Song Xian and several others.
In order to deal with Xiliang's cavalry, they prepared a lot of spears and crossbows, and made defense preparations based on the geographical location. However, now the Xiliang army did not bother with them at all, and just spared them. Many people were a little worried.
At a loss.
The generals may still remain calm, but the soldiers below can only see what is in front of them and can easily conclude that they are surrounded. When the trapped camp and the other three infantry battalions arrived, Song Xian and Cheng
Lian and others' troops had begun to feel a little uneasy.
Lu Bu inherited the Bingzhou army that Ding Yuan had brought to Guanzhong, but it only had 20,000 to 30,000 troops. The rest were either the annexed Huangfu Song's old tribe, the annexed Guanzhong garrison, or the militiamen forcibly recruited from Sanfu.
People were already a little dissatisfied with Lu Bu, and they knew how terrifying the Xiliang cavalry was. Now that they were surrounded, panic suddenly broke out.
Fortunately, the officers inserted by Lu Bu tried their best to suppress the soldiers' restlessness.
Looking at the enemy troops who were waiting in full formation, Zhao Yun said: "My lord, we can attack now."
Chen Cheng looked at the spears stuck on the ground, shook his head, and said, "They are just waiting for us to rush in."
"A few obstacles won't hinder much."
Chen Cheng smiled and said: "Whatever the enemy wants to do, we will not do it. In this way, you take the Flying Bear Hussars, trap the camp and other soldiers and horses here to watch them. I will go and meet Lu Bu first!"
"
Zhao Yun quickly pulled the reins of his mount, which made Boss Gulu unhappy. His eyes widened and he opened his mouth to bite Zhao Yun. Chen Cheng comforted the mount and asked, "Why not?"
"This place is only a few miles away from where Duan Xuan was trapped. The enemy said that it was divided into two places, but if there is a real fight, this distance is only enough for the war horses to gallop for a while. General Yang Qiu will definitely lead the county soldiers there.
The fight has already started, why don’t you, my lord, sit here and watch us defeat the enemy?”
While Chen Cheng was meditating, Zhao Yun said again: "Today is different from the past. Our army is 70,000, and the enemy's army is more than 100,000. Such a large army cannot be defeated in a short time. The lord must calmly deploy troops and horses, and do not succeed.
A moment of courage!”
"Hey, Zilong, what you said makes sense."
Of course Chen Cheng knew that now he should not charge forward as before. As the scale of the war became larger and larger, his value as a commander had exceeded that of a fierce general. Chen Cheng sighed and said: "Forget it
!”
He said to Zhao Yun with some lack of interest: "Then let's not disturb Commander Yang Qiu. Let's help him guard this group of enemies here first."
A few miles away, the sound of fighting was much quieter, but it still seemed to be heard clearly. After a while, a detective horse rushed over and loudly reported: "Report! Duan Xuan's army has collapsed.
General Yang Qiu has sent Cheng Yi and Ma Teng to attack Lu Bu's army!"
Lu Bu's army in front of him numbered more than 50,000, and they occupied some advantageous locations. They seemed to have good armor and soldiers, so Chen Cheng did not attack by force, but waited for the outcome of the battle to the east.
"Report! Zhang Hengbu joins the left wing!"
"Report! Lu Bujun launched a lance charge against Cheng Yinbu! Cheng Yinbu was defeated!"
"Report! General Yang Qiu mobilized Han Li's troops to launch an assault on Lu Bu's army's flank! Lu Bu's army's heavy cavalry has been dispersed!"
"Report! Ma Wan's troops flanked Lu Bu's army and encountered the enemy general Zhang Liao. General Ma Wan was injured!"
As the information came one by one, Chen Cheng's expression gradually became serious. He pondered for a while, then suddenly jumped on the horse and said loudly: "Fuck the commander of the army, we are going to fight! Guards
All the soldiers are following me!"
Before he finished speaking, Gulu excitedly kicked off his four hooves and rushed towards the distance. Behind him, Liu Qian followed closely on a horse. Wei Ran and Zhao Si also jumped on the horse and shouted loudly.
He drank and followed with his bodyguards and soldiers.
Zhao Yun: "............"
When Li Kan and Liang Xing saw Chen Cheng rushing forward with his soldiers, they were surprised at first, and then became excited. They glanced at each other, and it was Li Kan who stepped forward and said to Zhao Yun: "General Zhao, those villages are not
How strong is it... Why don't we also launch an attack?"
Zhao Yun shook his head and said: "Just suppress the enemy's cavalry activities. As long as they don't move, we will watch here."
