sixty-seven war
On the open plain, two armies lined up to confront each other, with flags flying and war horses neighing, and a war was about to begin.
Lu Zhi was observing Zhang Jiao's formation, and Zhang Jiao was also observing Lu Zhi's formation.
"Brother, Lu Zhi's troops have fewer troops than us. They don't seem as powerful as we imagined. There are not many cavalrymen. I'd better lead the troops to fight. I'll just wait for my good news."
Zhang Liang followed Zhang Jiao and said slowly.
In the past two months, Zhang Liang followed Zhang Jiao to sweep most of Jizhou, and he has never lost a battle. Wherever he goes, the Han army fled and heard about it, which has grown his inexplicable self-confidence and his whole body is incredibly inflated.
Zhang Jiao didn't think so.
The exposure of Ma Yuanyi's death and the rebellion plan told Zhang Jiao that some people who agreed to support him had betrayed him.
He had no choice but to rebel in advance and gain the initiative for himself, but he knew that if the other party was not prepared, he would not rashly expose his plan.
Zhang Jiao only regretted that he had not seen Tang Zhou's true face clearly and had lost the secret line and loyal Ma Yuanyi in Luoyang City for nothing. At that time, he was already in a difficult position and had to rebel.
If you rebel, there is still a glimmer of hope. If you don’t rebel, you will definitely die.
The unstoppable attack over the past two months has given him some confidence in himself, making him believe that he can achieve results even without the support of those people.
Occupying Jizhou and Hebei, even if you can't take Luoyang, you can still confront Hanting across the river.
The plan to attack Luoyang has been lost, and the Hanting Court has been prepared, so Zhang Jiao has no idea to continue attacking Henan.
He tried hard to fight against Jizhou, thinking that he would seize the power of the country and fight against the Han court at the least. This would not waste his more than ten years of preparation.
As for those believers in Henan...
Just buy time for me to dominate Hebei!
Therefore, Zhang Jiao had actually given up overthrowing the Han Ting, and what he thought was to dominate the country.
So he simply abandoned the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang, Yingchuan, and made every effort to march into Hebei to attack various counties and counties, expand his territory, and enhance his strength.
This plan went very smoothly, and he had never been defeated in a single battle until the Hanting reinforcements Lu Zhi's troops arrived, and most of the Jizhou had already obtained it.
Perhaps, I am also a famous general.
Sometimes Zhang Jiao would tease himself like this and mock the Han court for its corruption and incompetence.
This time, the army was led by Lu Zhi, a highly famous Confucian general.
Lu Zhi's hometown is in Fanyang County, not far from Zhang Jiao's hometown. Zhang Jiao knew his reputation, so he was somewhat afraid of him, thinking that Lu Zhi was not as easy to deal with as mediocre and incompetent officials.
Therefore, he did not agree to Zhang Liang's request, but led his troops out of the camp and lined up to fight Lu Zhi with absolute superior forces.
Although he was nervous, he also had a sense of confidence. Before going to war, he boosted morale and used the Taoist teachings of peace to encourage believers and soldiers, and received a strong response from the latter.
The sound of shouting was shaking the sky and earth, and Zhang Jiao felt that under such a might, he was unlikely to be defeated.
This shouting made the Han army hear it, and the Han soldiers showed a look of fear for this.
Guo Peng discovered this sign and immediately looked at Lu Zhi. During this period, Lu Zhi's face did not change and pulled out his sword from his waist and looked towards the sky.
"Beat the drum!!!"
The sound of the Han army's war drums suddenly sounded, and the rumbling sound of the war drums stimulated the nerves of every Han army soldier.
Then, under the leadership of Lu Zhizhong's army, the Han army shouted the battle roster.
The unanimous shouts of the War roar gradually weakened the fear in the hearts of the Han soldiers, and their momentum gradually increased.
The momentum must not be weak, otherwise it will be easy to collapse once you get into a fight. At that time, you will not be able to defraud, but you will definitely lose.
Failure is a bit of a pattern, like the feeling of being unable to continue fighting and trying hard to exit the battlefield completely.
There are even troops who are fighting desperately behind the retreat of the palace, so that they look even more like that.
Such people need rich experience and command capabilities.
If Lu Zhi wants to lead the army to implement the plan, then the deputy general will become the commander of the rear of the palace troops and will lead the rear of the palace troops to buy time for the retreat of the army until the mission is completed.
The clerk said that he would definitely complete the task successfully.
To be honest, such a task is indeed a life-threatening task. The advantageous forces of the Yellow Turban Army that are chasing wildly are possible. If one is not good, it is possible to eliminate the entire army, but for the sake of the overall situation, some sacrifices are necessary.
At this moment, the Han army was in a strict state, and Lu Zhi raised his own flag and declared his existence.
The Yellow Turban Army also set up a formation and unfolded the formation. The central army raised the banners of "General of Heaven" and "General of Humanity".
It seems that Zhang Liang is there too.
However, Guo Peng had no time to think about Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang. He was among the army and went to see the enemy troops that had twice as many as the troops on his side. What was it like?
I've never seen so many people feel.
It was dark, from left to right, and there was no point in sight, as if there were people on the other side, and it felt like "How could you defeat so many people?"
Guo Peng finally understood why the battle example of winning with less has been rare since ancient times.
There are really many people and great power. If you don’t talk about confrontation, you can feel huge pressure by standing there and confronting each other. This pressure is obviously fatal.
The sound of the Han sergeant drums came to an abrupt end, while the Yellow Turban Army began to beat the drums and shout, which was far more powerful than that of the Han army.
Intuitive feeling.
Guo Peng couldn't help but feel a little afraid and urge to retreat, let alone ordinary Han soldiers.
Indeed, the Han army formation once again wavered to some extent.
At this time, Lu Zhi was still calm and calm, and raised his sword again. The Han army war drums sounded again, and the battle horns were shouting again, and shouting in front of the Yellow Turban Army.
Later, it became a formation of yelling wildly to cover up fear. Tens of thousands of people shouted loudly naturally formed a momentum, and the two sides started the first round of competition with this momentum.
The result of the competition is that there is no winner, because everyone's throats are not very comfortable.
Zhang Liangqin said to Zhang Jiao on the horse: "Brother, the Han soldiers are panicked. At this time, we should take the initiative."
Zhang Jiao nodded slowly.
"Okay, beat the drums and blow the trumpets, and the front army will be dispatched!"
The war drums sounded and the horns sounded. The three infantry phalanxes and a crossbowmen phalanxes began to march. The number was about 5,000 people. The formation was extremely large, and the dust suddenly rose.
While advancing, he shouted slogans, and shouted in two steps, two steps and one sound, forming an extremely strong power, just like a carnivorous beast rushing towards him.
This kind of power is really unbearable for the new recruit who is on the battlefield for the first time, and his legs are easily trembling and collapsed.
It will collapse before the battle, or it will collapse at once.
What would Lu Zhi do?
Guo Peng tightened his spear with his tight hands and looked at Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi responded calmly, with no expression on his face, he held the knife in the middle ring and pointed forward.
"The front army is heading!"
A short drum sounded, causing the flag to swing and the horn to blow.
The square formation formed by elite swords, shield soldiers and gunmen in the front army of the Han army began to advance, and the crossbowmen with more than the Yellow Turban soldiers also began to advance under the cover of the shield soldiers. When they advanced to a certain distance, the sound of drums suddenly stopped.
The Han army's formation stopped advancing, while the Han army's crossbowmen had already stood still, bent their bows and arrows, and then decisively shot arrows under the command of the officers.
The Han army first launched an attack.
The arrows were like rain, and a large number of Yellow Turban soldiers who were missing shields and armor were shot down for a moment.
There was a little turmoil in the Yellow Turban Army's formation. When Zhang Jiao saw that it was not good, he immediately ordered the Yellow Turban Army's infantry to advance at full speed, and the crossbowman immediately launched a counterattack.
Unfortunately, there are few crossbowmen in the Yellow Turban Army, short training time, and insufficient shooting skills. There are also problems with the cooperation between infantry and crossbowmen. Not only did they not shoot many Han soldiers, they shot many of their own people to death.
Their combat skills and combat equipment are far less powerful than the elite Han army who are professional soldiers, and this disadvantage cannot be compensated by two months of good luck.
