When Chen Mu and Guan Yu learned about this situation, they looked at each other and were speechless.
Although Chen Mu understood Wen Chou's approach, because in history, he died in Xun You's baiting scheme, was tempted by a large amount of baggage, and was hacked to death in the rebel army.
But he didn't expect that in such an exciting and exciting stage of defeating each other, Wen Chou could actually make such a mistake. Wasn't he afraid that the day he wasted would cause Yan Liang or Fan Yang to encounter Guan Yu's fierce attack and fail?
?
But no matter what, for Chen Mu, this is very good news. Because Wen Chou was burdened by the baggage, the army moved slowly, and the queue was very long, and it was impossible to form effective combat effectiveness.
Once encountering a surprise attack, Wen Chou will definitely be defeated.
"To the south of Fogyang Township is the official road, with some fields. To the west are villages and hills, with several hills and dense trees. To the north, closer to the river, is the wide official road, with a large area of open space.
Suitable for cavalry charges."
Chen Mu stood at the bottom of the embankment slope, looking at the end of the official road not far away, and said to Guan Yu beside him: "Second brother, when they come over, we suddenly charge out from the bottom of the slope, and the enemy will inevitably have to go towards
Run to the east, but the east side is the farmland of the village. If the horses break in, it will easily fall. We just need to drive them away."
"Um."
Guan Yu checked whether the armor on his body and the harness on Zhu Huang Feidian were completely put on, while listening to Chen Mu's instructions on how to fight.
Chen Mu continued: "Wen Chou defeated Sun Wentai and captured a large amount of baggage. It was almost impossible to line up and fight us to the death. After driving the enemies in front to the farmland on the east side, the second brother must keep an eye on Wen Chou's banner. As long as Wen Chou is killed,
This battle will be won."
Guan Yu thought for a while and said: "If that's the case, then I might as well not rush into the battle line first. After the soldiers disperse the enemy's troops in front, I will go straight to Wen Chou. What do you think?"
"So much the better."
Chen Mu nodded. If Guan Yu charged into the formation first, he would easily be trapped in the chaos.
Just like the Battle of Liaocheng, Huang Zhong fought on foot, so if he charged all the way forward, it would be difficult for the enemy general to detect his presence among the chaos of people everywhere. If you are not careful, he might break through to the general's flag.
, and beheaded the general wearing Dazha armor.
Zhang Fei, on the other hand, was riding on a horse and was particularly conspicuous, so every time he charged in the direction of the general's flag, the enemy generals would notice his presence and immediately run away. As a result, Huang Zhong killed three generals in a row, and Zhang Fei failed to achieve even an inch of success.
The same is true here. Guan Yu's green robe, coat and armor are really too conspicuous. If he rushes into the formation first and is discovered by Wen Chou, he flees in all directions. With the speed of the heavy cavalry, he may not be able to catch up.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, Ada, Aer, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others launched the charge first to disrupt the enemy's forward. With Wen Chou's pride, he would definitely lead the army to fight them.
As soon as Wen Chou appeared, Guan Yu immediately rushed out from under the embankment, attacked instantly, and beheaded Wen Chou under his horse, just like beheading Yan Liang in history.
After things were arranged, all the black armor heavy riders mounted their horses without saying a word and started to line up.
The sound of horse hooves in the distance is getting closer and closer. There is a large open grassland in the north of Fengyang Township. Because it is close to the river, it is where the villagers graze cattle and sheep. The official road is about 300 feet away from here. The heavy cavalry came ashore.
After that, you can immediately charge towards the official road.
They rushed from the northwest to the southeast and attacked from the side. Under normal circumstances, the enemy would definitely flee in the opposite direction, but to the east was a large area of farmland with soft soil. If the horses' hooves entered, they would easily fall.
This is a perfect tactic formulated by Chen Mu!
After a while, Wen Chou's forward cavalry finally arrived at the ambush point. In fact, it didn't matter whether they were forward or not. All the cavalry were slowly moving forward on the official road, like a long winding snake, densely packed and countless.
At the center of the procession was General Wen Chou's flag. At the end of the procession were thousands of carriages with baggage. The soldiers were driving the vehicles happily, and the rolling wheels stirred up clouds of dust.
The people who were working in the fields in Fogyang Township suddenly saw a large group of cavalry approaching, heading north along the official road to their village, and they were so frightened that they immediately ran away.
The world is in chaos these days, and order and law have long since collapsed. No matter whether they are soldiers or bandits, no one is good.
When the eighteen princes attacked Dong, the people of Hanoi suffered greatly from these princes who were attacking Dong under the banner of so-called justice. These princes plundered the people everywhere, leaving almost ten houses in Hanoi empty. Many people who were obviously good people were destroyed.
He was forced to run into the Taihang Mountains and join the Black Mountain Army.
So after discovering a large-scale army, these people almost instinctively ran away.
Wen Chou came back victorious from this battle, and he didn't care about the reaction of the mud-legged people around him. He passed through the country pavilions in a showy manner and continued north along the flat and neat official road.
Wang Bi said to him: "General, we are in front of the Xiangyang Township. The weather is hot now and the war horses are in urgent need of drinking water. You can let the soldiers take a rest first and go to the river to cool down. Wait until the afternoon, when the weather gets a little cooler, and then
Set off back to Fanyang."
"Um."
Wen Chou nodded: "We set off at the end of the meal time, and it was already afternoon when we arrived here. It is more than 120 miles from Liyang to Fanyang. We will rest here for three-quarters of an hour. If nothing unexpected happens, we will be gone by three-quarters of dusk.
Just arrived at Fanyang."
One hundred and twenty miles is actually fifty kilometers. Logically speaking, the cavalry is advancing at full speed. Even if the large force can only gallop at a medium speed, even if they set off at a speed of 10 kilometers per hour, they should arrive in five hours, but they
The baggage was so heavy that we could only move at walking speed.
The walking speed is about 4-5 kilometers per hour. It should take 5 hours to get to Fanyang and 3 hours to get to Fengyang Township. This is why Chen Mu and others came to camp early, but Wen Chou and others didn't arrive until after noon.
The reason for the late arrival.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although everyone is riding a horse and is not tired enough to be a soldier, the horses are still very tired. Many horses are wet and sweaty, so Wen Chou
Both he and Wang Bi thought that they should rest for a while in Fengyang Township.
After giving the order, a large number of cavalry began to move towards the river. There was a slope along the river, and the black armor heavy cavalry was hidden under the slope.
Just when Wen Chou's cavalry left the official road and began to move toward the river, a large number of black shadows suddenly appeared slowly from the slope. The entire Wen Chou army was stunned. One by one, the cavalry in heavy armor walked up the slope.
Stand in neat steps and start arranging the sequence.
After a brief commotion, Wang Bi was horrified and said: "General, it's the Xuanjia heavy cavalry. They're ambushing us here. The official road at the rear is blocked by a large amount of baggage. We can't change the route. What can we do?"
"Don't panic!"
Wen Chou immediately calmed down, and after a slight hesitation, he immediately said: "The number of Xuanjia heavy cavalry is very small, and I see that Guan Yu is not here, and he still has the strength to fight. We cannot let them form a charge battle array. Give me the order to shake
Big flag, follow me to attack!"
The official road was about three hundred feet away from the river, which meant that there was a large distance in the middle for charging. Wen Chou knew that once the heavy cavalry charged, it would be impossible for them to stop them.
So it is better to strike first. Anyway, there are many soldiers behind them, and the cavalry will charge continuously. As long as the formation of the enemy's heavy cavalry is disrupted, and don't let their charge disrupt the formation on your side, at least there will be
Opportunity for remediation.
The most important thing is that Wen Chou must lead the charge. The light cavalry is blocked on the official road, losing ground front and rear. There are too many baggage vehicles behind. The enemy is on the left and the farmland is on the right. Unless he rushes forward, but if he rushes forward, Wen Chou and others will
A few people were able to escape, but the heavy cavalry of black armor blocked the official road and no one could escape.
Therefore, he can only put himself to death and survive!
At that moment, Wen Chou asked the messenger to give the order, and he personally stepped out from the crowd. The flag bearer behind him raised his flag high, waved it constantly, and gave the order to attack.
When the Jizhou cavalrymen further behind saw this scene, they were immediately startled and spread the news to the rear that something had happened ahead.
There are over 10,000 people, and there are no boundaries.
The official roads in the rear were dense and dense for five or six miles, and many soldiers had no idea what was happening in front. But looking at the flags from a distance, everyone soon learned that they had encountered enemies in the front, and there was a sudden commotion.
But now there is nothing they can do. The front has been blocked, the water is blocked, and there are thousands of baggage trucks behind. It is unrealistic to turn, so they can only rush forward.
"kill!"
Without any hesitation, Wen Chou emerged from the crowd, raised the horse in his hand and pointed forward.
Thousands of troops and horses behind him suddenly galloped like thunder and charged towards the enemy.
Under normal circumstances, if the light cavalry launches a countercharge against the heavy cavalry, it is asking for death. These Jizhou cavalry either don't know that they are going there or they may never come back.
However, Wen Chou was known for his bravery and high prestige in the army. He personally led the attack, and the soldiers had no choice but to fight and risk their lives.
"Heavy cavalry in black armor, invincible in the world. The day to bear the name is today! Brothers, kill me!"
"kill!"
Ada, Aer, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and other Xuanjia heavy cavalry commanders roared angrily and pointed their sabers forward. All the Xuanjia heavy cavalry roared and urged their horses to charge forward.
The distance was more than 300 feet, that is, more than 600 meters. Both sides charged at extremely fast speeds and met each other almost instantly.
Boom!
Like two torrents colliding, the Jizhou cavalry in the front row suddenly flipped over and was directly knocked to the ground by the heavily armored Xuan Jia heavy cavalry. The horses neighed, the soldiers wailed, shouts of killing, the sound of weapons clashing, and the knife slashing.
The sound of iron on the heavy armor kept ringing.
When the heavy cavalry and light cavalry in battle formation met, the scene could not be said to be a one-sided massacre, but at least in the first round of confrontation, the heavy cavalry showed an absolute advantage, crushing them forward like a bulldozer.
But soon, after the offensive was blocked by the first wave of Jizhou cavalry, the charge of the heavy cavalry was slowly weakened. Wen Chou took advantage of the opportunity and immediately led the second wave of cavalry to meet them.
The two sides fought fiercely in the large open space beside the official road and the river bank. The horses were entangled with each other. From time to time, the horses fell to the ground. Some were knocked down, and some simply tripped over the corpses on the ground.
Some were killed by weapons.
Generally speaking, the casualties of the Jizhou cavalry were much greater than those of the Xuanjia heavy cavalry, because the Xuanjia heavy cavalry were fully armed. Whether they were cutting people or horses, unless they hit the vital points, it would be difficult to cause harm to them.
Mainly because in the late Han Dynasty, heavy cavalry was just developing. According to records, horse gear had already appeared at this time, but because there were no stirrups, the number was very small.
The real large-scale development will not occur until the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Sui and Tang Dynasties. This is the development stage of heavy cavalry.
By this time, people also began to figure out how to deal with heavy cavalry.
Hammer, hook, sickle, spear and sword.
However, the heavy cavalry in the late Han Dynasty was far less active on the battlefield than in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, so at this time, everyone still did not know how to deal with the heavy cavalry.
Chen Mu knew it, but he was not stupid. The heavy cavalry was his trump card, so how could he expose his weaknesses?
This also led to the fact that even in a tough battle, the Black Armor Heavy Cavalry still had the upper hand.
It's just that the soldiers are all heavily armored, and there are too many enemies. If the battle lasts for a long time, their physical strength will be exhausted, and problems are likely to occur.
Wen Chou was rushing left and right on the battlefield at this time. With his force, he had only killed three enemies so far. Two of them were knocked off their horses by him and were trampled to death by horse hooves. The other one was killed by horses.
He poked at the door.
The Xuanjia heavy cavalry, dressed in steel, is indeed a group of lions that is difficult to withstand. So far, the Xuanjia heavy cavalry has suffered less than a hundred casualties, but the Jizhou cavalry has suffered over a thousand casualties. A large number of cavalrymen have been overturned from their horses, and some of the rebels have been killed.
Killed or trampled to death, the originally green grass was dyed red with blood.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Good opportunity!"
Guan Yu was watching the situation on the slope at this time. He had been staring at Wen Chou's banner among the rebels. Wen Chou had not been in the first wave of charges, so he suppressed his thoughts of going into battle and continued to wait and see.
It was not until the Jizhou cavalry launched the second round of charge that Wen Chou finally reached the front, then he slowly urged Zhu Huang Feidian to the slope and began to look for an opportunity to enter the battlefield.
Just at this time, Wen Chou fought desperately and after killing two more enemies, he unexpectedly rushed over and killed the Xuan Jia heavy cavalry.
Because both sides are charging, like countless chisels, digging into each other's enemy's formation.
Most of the Jizhou cavalry fell at the feet of the Xuanjia heavy cavalry, but Wen Chou was very brave. He took the lead and killed several enemies in a row before reaching behind the Xuanjia heavy cavalry.
In this case, both sides usually turn around and start another round of charge.
However, when Wen Chou rushed out and was about to turn around, he looked up and was immediately frightened to death.
Not far away, he saw a snow-white horse with only four golden hooves galloping toward him. Sitting on the horse was a man with a face like a jujube, a beard two feet long, a green robe, and a Qinglong Yanyue Sword held upside down.
, with murderous intent in his eyes, and the look he looked at was terrifying.
"Guan...Guan Yu?"
Wen Chou was horrified. Last year, they had fought against Guan Yu without knowing Guan Yu's true identity. As a result, his eldest brother Yan Liang was evenly matched and Guan Yu almost killed him with three sword strikes.
Since then, Yan Liang and Wen Chou have realized the gap between them and Guan Yu, so they try to avoid direct confrontation with him on the battlefield.
Who would have thought that I could escape the first day of the junior high school, but I could not escape the fifteenth day of the junior high school, but today I would actually meet Guan Yu here.
It was too late to turn around at this time, because Guan Yu arrived in an instant, and the Qinglong Yanyue Sword reflected the dazzling light under the sunlight.
Wen Chou gritted his teeth, knowing that it was a life and death battle. He mustered up his courage, and when Guan Yu arrived close, he thrust forward with a straight thrust.
Ding!
Weapons collided, lightning flashed.
Guan Yu raised his sword and held it horizontally, blocking the sharp point of Wen Chou's horse spear.
Because the horse's head is not pointed like a gun, but a bit like a hammer and claws used to catch dolls.
The hammer has spikes on it that can be poked, slapped, picked, and teased.
Therefore, when Guan Yu raises his sword to block, it will not slip away because of the pointed end. The claw-like spikes on it fix the blade of the Qinglong Yanyue Sword.
Zhu Huang Feidian originally maintained the momentum of charging. After decelerating, he pushed his four hooves to the ground. A sudden brake did not cause Guan Yu to lean forward and lose his center of gravity due to inertia.
In fact, it is also because Ma Shu is too long, and in the same situation facing Ma Shu, Wen Chou is not like when he killed Yang Feng, he could dodge the enemy's attack twice in a row, and then cut off the enemy's head with one knife.
Wen Chou's strength is much stronger than Yang Feng, so if Guan Yu is careful, he must first block the enemy's first attack, and then approach step by step, reaching a distance of a Green Dragon Sword.
After blocking the stabbing, Guan Yu raised the horse upwards, pushed the horse to the right, and then pinched the horse's belly, urging Huang Feidian to move forward.
Claw Huang Feidian immediately took a step forward.
Wen Chou was horrified and quickly pulled the horse back a little, so that Guan Yu was within the attack range of his horse's pointed head again. Then he changed his thrust to a slap and struck Guan Yu's waist.
Guan Yu sneered. The reason why he pushed Wen Chou's Ma Shu to the right was because his right was Wen Chou's left.
Although Wen Chou holds the spear with both hands, he is not left-handed. For a right-handed person, if he exerts force from left to right, the force will inevitably be much less than if he exerts force from left to left.
Therefore, in this shot, Guan Yu directly raised the knife again, pushed flatly, and took out the shot.
second round.
This is also the second step taken by Zhu Huang Feidian.
The horse is eight feet long and the Qinglong Yanyue Sword is nine feet long. They are twice as short. With only two steps closer, Guan Yu can reach Wen Chou and fight close to him.
As Guan Yu approached step by step, Wen Chou became more and more panicked. He pulled Ma Shu again, then adjusted his posture, his heart crossed, and he simply stabbed Zhu Huang Feidian in the head. If the poke hit, Zhu Huang Fei
The brain matter will be discharged due to electricity.
Guan Yu did not expect that Wen Chou would make such a decision, and he quickly struck with his knife, and at the same time kicked Huang Feidian's front legs with both legs, which was an order for the horse to retreat.
After receiving the master's order, Claw Huang Feidian immediately took a step back.
At the same time, the swords and blades collided, causing fierce sparks.
The third round is over!
The next second, Wen Chou made a decision that no one expected.
He actually pulled the horse's head and ran toward the official road on the right.
"Want to run?"
Guan Yu first looked at Huang Feidian and found that he was not injured. He breathed a sigh of relief. Then he saw that Wen Chou had run a few steps away. He couldn't help but became furious and urged Huang Feidian to run quickly.
Huang Feidian immediately raised his four hooves and chased behind Wen Chou's horse like a white lightning bolt. Guan Yu raised his knife and slashed at Wen Chou's head.
"Pfft!"
The head flew up, and blood spurted out two feet high. Wen Chou sat down and the horse was still leading him forward, but there was only a headless general on his back.
Wen Chou was frightened by Guan Yu for three rounds, and when he was finally escaping, he was beheaded by Guan Yu because of his fast horse!
