Hearing the beautiful scene described by Han Sui, Lu Bu's expression changed several times, and finally turned into joy. He lowered his voice and asked: "How many people can Wen Yue have in his hands?"
Han Sui said softly: "There are hundreds of people in my family among the teams transporting grain and fodder. Including the powerful people in the city who are dissatisfied with Chen Cheng, there can be two thousand people."
"Okay, very good, two thousand people are enough!" Lu Bu was overjoyed, stepped forward and took Han Sui's hand, and said: "You and I will join hands to kill Zhao Yun first, and then seal the twelve city gates of Chang'an.
Then great things can happen!”
He couldn't wait to ask: "When will we do it?"
Han Sui smiled and said: "General Lu, don't worry, I will have a banquet with the city's civil and military officials the day after tomorrow, and I will take the opportunity to launch an attack!"
Lu Bu's eyes became eager, "Okay, then wait until the day after tomorrow!"
Time passes little by little, and the alternation between day and night is still different from the past. The difference is only human beings. If you are addicted to it, you will feel that time flies. But if you wait anxiously, or do
If you don't like things, you will feel like your days are like years.
Just like a handsome man who calls himself "Feng Xi", he often encounters this situation. When playing games, time flies by without even realizing it. When he looks up, he will exclaim,
"Damn it, the number of words today is not enough, hurry up!"
Then I hurriedly hurriedly hurriedly, and finally finished coding a chapter before the stipulated time, so I felt lucky again, "It's okay, okay, I'll continue tomorrow!"
Sometimes, he also felt that it would be more appropriate to change the name to "Hanhaoniao".
Around Xiagui, the main force of Dong Zhuo's army no longer concealed their presence. More than 100,000 troops came out of the camp together and marched toward the west in a mighty manner. The smoke and dust raised could be seen even from a long distance away. Hearing that
The sound of horse hooves sounded like thunder in the sky, and the expressions on the faces of the Xiliang army generals gradually became serious.
Even though they were well prepared and confident that they could defeat the enemy with fewer strikes and more strikes, the current formation created by Dong Zhuo's army was simply too exaggerated. With so many soldiers and horses gathered together, they needed massive amounts of food and various supplies to command.
The difficulty will also be greatly increased. Many times, too many people will become a burden.
Han Xin said that Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, could only command one hundred thousand troops and horses at most, but in this era when everything was basically done by shouting, being able to command one hundred thousand troops and horses was already in the ranks of famous generals. In the great melee at the end of Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang was only
He lost to Xiang Yu and faced others with ease.
Chen Cheng believed that he could not command 100,000 people, let alone 100,000 people. As long as the number exceeded 50,000, he would allocate part of his troops to his generals for command. Because of the backward communication methods, in a situation with too many people,
At that time, it was basically impossible to respond promptly to changes on the battlefield.
He is not a weirdo who likes to draw formation diagrams for generals. At most, he can give a general direction, mainly relying on the generals' performance in battle. Chen Cheng's approach was the norm in the Han Dynasty. Generals who commanded armies usually set up their own shogunate.
, possessing various rights from personnel appointments and removals to the formulation of combat plans.
Yan Zhong once served in Huangfu Song's shogunate, and his job was as a staff officer and military advisor. Therefore, Yan Bodao claimed that he was not good at making decisions on the spot, but that was only relative to his resourcefulness. Let him be a
General, although he may not be that strong, he is definitely not that bad.
Seeing Dong Zhuo's army dispatching in large numbers, Chen Cheng did not defend the camp. Instead, after leaving some infantrymen to guard their homes, he led the main force out of the camp and set up a position outside the camp, preparing for a head-on fight with Dong Zhuo's army.
With tens of thousands of people, there is no limit to the horizon. Xiliang's army of fifty thousand almost covers the field of vision. Dong Zhuo's army of one hundred thousand makes the momentum even more astonishing. The formation stretches out for more than ten miles. On such a vast ground, it is
It's horseback riding, and it takes more than ten or twenty minutes to go back and forth. If you can still respond in time under such circumstances, you can't be described as a famous general.
It took an hour for Dong Zhuo's army to deploy. By the time they approached the Xiliang army, it was already almost noon. War flags were flying and drums were blowing loudly. Dong Zhuo stood on the back of a yellow horse, holding a whip and pointing to the opposite side.
The Xiliang army, which was also covered in darkness, laughed and said: "Chen Cheng, the overlord of Xiliang, hasn't he fallen into our scheme now?"
He laughed twice, and then said: "Chen Wenzheng is known as the Overlord of Xiliang, and Wenyou is my Zhang Liang. Isn't a certain family now Emperor Gaozu? This is Xiagui, and that is Chen Cheng's Gaixia!"
Amidst the laughter, he shouted loudly and ordered the left and right wings to move forward to challenge.
The sound of drums and trumpets sounded again, and Guo Si and Li Jue each led tens of thousands of troops to fight. Upon seeing this, Chen Cheng sent Liang Xing to lead two thousand flying bear hussars and a cavalry battalion and an infantry battalion to attack the enemy on the left;
Ma Teng led six thousand troops from Anding County to attack the enemy on the right.
The Chinese armies on both sides stood still and watched as fierce battles broke out on the two wings. This was the norm for large armies to fight, and it was rare for them to be overwhelmed. Although Dong Zhuo was not as good at martial arts as Lu Bu, he had more than ten years of military experience.
He is not as good at using soldiers as Huangfu Song, but he still has enough skill and insight.
Previously, Dong Zhongying did not transfer all the soldiers and horses from Bingzhou into Guanzhong, so he was suppressed by Lu Bu's superior force, but he still defended it as solid as a rock, causing Lu Bu to lose a lot of soldiers and horses under the fortified city. Under Zhu Jun
After committing suicide, Lu Zhi died of illness, and Huangfu Song was placed under house arrest, Dong Zhuo can be said to be one of the oldest generals in the world today.
However, seniority does not mean that you are more capable of using troops, and having more people does not mean that you will definitely be able to win the battle. Otherwise, everyone would not have to fight with real swords and guns, and just compare their seniority and the number of soldiers and horses.
The left and right wings fought for a long time, the horses neighed, and the soldiers' shouts resounded through the sky. Chen Cheng sat on the chariot with the handsome flag, and Liu Qian stood beside him. The fighting was fierce, but Chen Cheng was sleeping with his eyes closed. He
He was very calm, but Liu Qian's heart was ups and downs, and she would sigh or applaud from time to time.
That is to say, she has the status of a princess, otherwise, this kind of behavior would have long been reprimanded.
"Report!"
The Chuanqi came running wildly, reined in the horse more than ten steps away, and loudly reported: "My lord, General Liang Xing has defeated the enemy in front of him, killed seven enemy generals, and captured two general flags!"
"Well," Chen Cheng opened his eyes, waved his hand and said, "I got it!"
Liang Xing leads the Flying Bear Hussars, whose impact is unparalleled in the world. It is normal to defeat the enemy.
"Report!"
Another scout ran past and loudly reported from a distance: "My lord, General Ma Teng has repulsed the enemy, and the enemy has sent reinforcements!"
Ma Teng is also a veteran prince and has fought against Dong Zhuo before. He also has strong generals like Ma Chao and Pang De under his command. In addition, he has changed a lot of armor and weapons, so it is normal to defeat the enemy. Since Dong Zhuo has sent reinforcements, then
I need to move a bit here too.
He looked left and right and called out: "General Zhang Heng went to the right wing to meet Ma Teng and asked him to withdraw first. We have been victorious for a while, so come back and rest for a while. There is still more to fight."
Liang Xing on the left wing led the Flying Bear Cavalry and directly penetrated Dong Zhuo's troops, causing the expressions of the enemies around him to change drastically. When he heard the situation reported by the scouts, the smile on Dong Zhuo's face disappeared, and his expression changed.
Somewhat solemnly, he stared at the motionless Xiliang army formation opposite and said, "When did the Xiliang thieves become so brave?"
Tan Ma presented the captured steel armor and said: "General Li Jue asked me to bring over the enemy's armor and said..."
Dong Zhuo took the hilt of the knife and knocked it on the steel armor, and asked amidst the clear metal collision: "What did he say?"
"General Li said that the enemy has strong armor and powerful troops, and its combat power is astonishing. Please retreat temporarily!"
Dong Zhuo stood up with his stirrups and looked towards the right wing, only to see that his own troops were retreating backwards without receiving orders. He snorted in displeasure and said: "Then
Just ask him to step back first!"
"promise!"
Tan Ma hurried to the right wing. Dong Zhuo turned around and said to Li Ru and Hu Zhen: "Li Jue is also a general who has been with me for many years. Why is he so unlucky?"
Hu Zhen, Dong Zhuo's most trusted general, replied: "I'm afraid it's not that Li Jue is ineffective, but that the Xiliang army is too strong."
He pointed at the enemy battle formation opposite and said: "The Xiliang army is not only strong and powerful, but its military appearance is also superior to ours! If the numbers are equal, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win!"
Li Ru also said: "The people of Xiliang are already brave and good at fighting. Chen Wenzheng and Yan Bodao have been hiding in Liangzhou for four years and equipped the Xiliang army with strong armor and sharp weapons. They are not easy to deal with! Now they are only slightly
Small setback, our army still has the advantage, my lord, don’t worry about it.”
Dong Zhuo's face became slightly brighter and he ordered: "Let the soldiers and horses on both wings withdraw first. Later, our army will attack together and defeat the Xiliang thieves with the help of our numbers!"
The sound of Jin Jin sounded in the formation. Guo Bang slashed a Xiliang cavalry to death. Hearing the sound, he said bitterly: "Why did you just Ming Jin and withdraw your troops?"
He was a little unhappy, but he did not dare to disobey the military order and roared to the left and right: "Retreat, retreat first!"
Dong Zhuo's army, who were fighting, abandoned the enemies in front of them and ran towards their own formation. The sound of gongs also sounded in the Xiliang army. Ma Teng and Zhang Heng together led their troops to retreat slowly. Ma Chao was silent.
Unwilling to give up, he led more than a hundred soldiers to chase Dong Zhuo's army and kill them.
Upon seeing this, Pang De quickly rode over, blocked Ma Chao, and advised: "Young General, Chen Shijun is watching from the central army. If you disobey the military order, you may lose your life!"
Ma Chao snorted, but he also knew that today was different from the past. Although he wanted to kill the enemy, he did not dare to violate the military law openly. Otherwise, even if he was Ma Teng's son, he would still be beheaded in public. Just now, it could be said that it was
I didn't hear the sound of gold ringing, and now Pang De has come to advise me. If I use this excuse again, it will be somewhat unjustifiable.
Seeing Ma Chao's move, Pang De struck while the iron was hot and said: "The enemy has many soldiers and horses, the young general is afraid that there will be no chance to make meritorious deeds? Let's go back and repair for the time being."
