Great Han Empire

Chapter 903 Troubled Times Heroic Chapter Wins Central Plains
Han Sui led an army of [-] troops and quickly approached Wannian City.

The low sound of war drums, the sound of loud horns, the sound of neat steps, the sound of rapid horseshoes, the crisp sound of metal and iron, and the hoarse shouts of orderlings, accompanied by the billowing dust and fog that covered the sky, rushed out of the horizon aggressively , roaring towards the northern army camp.

The colorful battle flags fluttered in the air, hunting and hunting. From a distance, it looked like a thousand-layered wave rolled up in the sea, surging and surging, with an astonishing momentum.

Surrounded by a group of guards, Han Sui walked in the front of the army. Behind him, the tall and soft banner rolled up and down, roaring repeatedly, like a ferocious beast trapped in a cage opened its blood basin. Big mouth, more like a fettered dragon preparing to soar into the sky.Han Sui raised his head, looked at the blue sky and the faint white clouds on the deep sky, his thoughts could not help but fly back to the remote western border, to the land he loved so much.As long as we win this battle, the sky in Xijiang will be more beautiful, and the mountains and rivers in Xijiang will be immersed in joy and happiness.I'm going to win this battle.

Han Sui slowly raised his hands and screamed loudly.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The war drum suddenly exploded like thunder.

The marching army gradually stopped, line by line, line by line, battle formations one after another, stretching for several miles, huge crowds of people, boundless.

The overwhelming smoke and dust suddenly stood up, opened its thick arms, raised its huge head, and let out a loud roar towards the white sun. The color of the world changed instantly, and half of the sky fell into darkness.

"kill……"

The [-] coalition soldiers raised their weapons high and roared with all their might.The huge roar rolled up layers of high waves like a tsunami, roared across the battle formation, and then slammed into the camp of the Northern Xinjiang Army.

=

The Beijiang army camp lies quietly beside the Baiqu, like a crescent moon in the night sky, silent.

The tall gate was tightly closed, tens of thousands of soldiers were waiting behind the long fence, and the sharp weapons shone brightly under the sunlight.

Countless battle flags fluttered fearfully in the center of the wind, as if they were frightened by the screams that resounded through the sky, and the whimpers from their mouths were drowned out by the roar of the tide in an instant.

=

On the Wannian City Tower, Xu Rong, Qu Yi, Yang Feng, Zhang Baiqi, Xian Yuyin, Zhang He, Pang De and other Northern Xinjiang generals lined up, looking solemnly at the enemy battle formation in the distance.

"Zi Lie, beating the drum, beating the drum..." Qu Yi suddenly turned around and waved at Xu Rong repeatedly, "Suppress their aura, suppress it..."

Xu Rong shook his head, squinted his eyes and smiled calmly, "It's not a bad thing to show the enemy weakness." Then he looked at the crowd, "My lords, estimate how many troops Han Sui brought to fight us?"

"At least 10 people, which is far beyond our expectations." Yang Feng smiled wryly, "At first we estimated that they could gather about 7 horses, but now it seems that both Han Sui and Yuan Shao have bet their fate on In this battle, we currently only have an army of 12, and we have only a slight advantage in terms of strength. If we are not careful, the consequences will be disastrous." He looked at Xu Rong and said solemnly, "The imperial court hopes that we can preserve the Xiliang Army as much as possible, but Now it seems impossible. If we want to defeat the enemy, we can only go to the bottom of the boat and fight to the death."

Xu Rong nodded, and said helplessly: "Give up the idea of ​​preserving the Xiliang Army, and kill the enemy as much as possible, otherwise this battle will definitely be lost."

=

In the battle formation of the coalition forces, the sound of drums soared into the sky again, and with the deafening roar, the coalition forces began to advance slowly.

=

"What does Han Sui want to do? Do you want to attack?" Zhang Baiqi asked suspiciously, "He came all the way in a hurry. The soldiers did not rest, and the camps were not built. A hasty attack will only lead to more casualties. Is he crazy? ?”

"He may want to check our deployment of troops." Zhang Xi said, "He is showing off his might and constantly provoking us, but we are hiding in the camp. He must be very disturbed."

"Order all the ministries to prepare for the battle." Xu Rong waved his hand, "Order the archers of all ministries to shoot three rounds."

=

"Om..." There was a loud noise, and a black cloud suddenly flew out from the camp of the Northern Frontier Army. It was like a monster with teeth and claws, roaring angrily, and rushed towards the enemy fiercely.

Nearly [-] sharp arrows were nailed to the ground almost at the same time, the ground trembled violently at this moment, and everyone on the battlefield seemed to hear a mournful groan.

The coalition forces stopped suddenly, the sound of drums and horns stopped suddenly, and the battlefield fell into a dead silence.

"Om..." There was another loud bang, and another bloody and screaming black cloud soared into the sky from the Beijiang army camp.

This piece of black cloud was still flying in the sky, when the third loud noise came again, the dazzling sun was instantly darkened, and a gust of chill instantly enveloped the entire battlefield.

=

Yan Xing quickly reported back with a team of cavalry.After three rounds of volleys, the Northern Xinjiang Army left dense arrows on the battlefield.Judging from the arrows nailed to the ground, the strength of the two wings of the northern army camp was almost the same, while the strength of the central army was a bit weak.In addition, judging from the number of arrows, there are not many archers in the Northern Xinjiang Army.Based on the approximate number of these archers, Yan Xing estimated that the total strength of the Northern Border Army was between 5 and [-].This is basically consistent with Han Sui's judgment before sending troops, and the difference is not very big.

Han Sui thought for a while, and then suddenly asked, "Why hasn't the Northern Army been beating the drum?"

Yan Xing was stunned for a moment, but didn't speak.The northern border army has always been strong and imposing, even if they see that the opponent's troops are obviously more than their own, they will not take the initiative to show weakness.This situation is indeed a bit abnormal today.

"Show the enemy weak?" Han Sui asked again.

"What does your lord suspect?"

Han Sui looked up at the big flag flying in the sky on the tower in the distance, and waved his hand, "Send an order, retreat ten miles and set up camp."

=

In the evening, the coalition army's central army tent.

Han Sui stood in front of a temporary sketch of the battlefield situation, and personally deployed the attack strategy.

"Judging from today's test, the Northern Frontier Army's two wings are equal in strength, and the troops in the middle are weak. However, because the middle army is in the city, and the middle is divided into two armies, there must still be troops in the city that can support the middle at any time. This is a well-regulated strategy. Flying geese to form formations is in line with Xu Rong's prudent and prudent way of using troops."

Han Sui pointed to the Wannian City on the map and continued, "The biggest advantage of the northern army's deployment of the city is that it can effectively protect the Chinese army. Your own army will not collapse."

"Because we can't take advantage of the iron cavalry to destroy its central army, and we can't give the northern army a fatal blow after gaining an absolute advantage on the battlefield, so we can only take the ultimate goal of annihilating the northern army's strength to the greatest extent."

"According to this goal, our first task is to destroy the middle road of the Northern Xinjiang Army, completely divide the left and right wings of the Northern Xinjiang Army, and then cut off the route for the left and right wings of the Northern Xinjiang Army to withdraw into the city, and use the superiority in strength to wipe out all the troops on the left and right wings of the Northern Xinjiang Army. Forced Xu Rong to flee back to Hedong quickly with the remaining troops in the city."

=

The northern Xinjiang army held on to the camp and forcibly attacked us and suffered great losses.

Although the Wannian City camp has just been established, many defensive facilities are not complete, but the sharp weapons of the Northern Border Army, especially the many heavy equipment in their hands, will bring great trouble to our attack.

"In order to quickly break through the camp of the Northern Xinjiang Army, quickly enter a frontal attack with the Northern Xinjiang Army, and give full play to our advantages, I plan to carry out a surprise attack tonight."

There was no sound in the big tent, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Meng Qi (Ma Chao), you took five thousand cavalry and launched an attack on the eve of dawn. You were the first to tear through the defense of the northern army in the middle, and led the army to the city of Wannian, cutting off the connection between the left and right wings of the northern army. " Han Sui said, "Once the central route of the Northern Xinjiang Army is threatened, the troops in the city will inevitably be reinforced. In this way, the left and right flanks lose their reinforcements, and we can immediately block their retreat before they retreat."

"5000 people?" Ma Chao hesitated, and asked with a bow, "What if there are more reinforcements in the city and I can't stop them?"

"I took five thousand cavalry and five thousand infantry in the middle to support them. As long as the middle is in danger, you can get reinforcements right away."

Ma Chao bowed to accept the order.

=

"The reaction of the Northern Frontier Army today is a bit abnormal." Han Sui looked at the generals, frowning slightly, "If my prediction is correct, the enemy cavalry heading south from Xiaoguan may exceed our estimate. The Huns Liu Bao and Liu Ming is very loyal to Li Hong, and it is very likely that they have rushed to Guanzhong secretly."

"The Huns suffered a lot in the Central Plains last year, and even if they go south this year, there will not be too many people." Liang Xing said indifferently.

"Regardless of whether our guess is accurate or not, we must make preparations early to avoid being caught off guard." Han Sui said, "After the infantry armies on the left and right flanks broke through the camp of the Northern Army at dawn, the cavalry army on both wings rushed up immediately and took the North All Xinjiang cavalry were brought out to meet the infantry army's attack."

Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi commanded [-] cavalry, and Li Kan and Zhang Heng commanded [-] infantry to live on the left flank of the coalition forces.

Liang Xing and Ma Wan commanded 1 cavalry, and Gao Gan and Xin Pi commanded [-] infantry to live on the right wing of the coalition forces.

"At the beginning of the attack, the main purpose of the left-wing army was to contain the right-wing army of the Northern Xinjiang Army." Han Sui explained, "Our right-wing army is the main attack force in this battle. quickly encircled and completely annihilated the left-wing army of the Northern Xinjiang Army, and then quickly moved to the right-wing battlefield, striving to wipe out all the left-wing troops of the Northern Xinjiang Army."

Han Sui then explained some details of the attack in detail, especially the cooperation between the infantry and cavalry, and asked all the generals to obey the military orders and work together on the battlefield.

"Okay, let's leave, let's go back and prepare immediately." Han Sui waved lightly at the generals, "Before dawn tomorrow, we will enter the northern camp."

=

At night, Wannian City.

As the enemy's strength greatly exceeded expectations, Xu Rong urgently revised his attack strategy and summoned his generals to redeploy.

"Under the current circumstances, it is impossible to talk about protecting Han Sui against Yuan Shao." Xu Rong said with a wry smile, "This is a bloody battle. Whoever loses will lose Guanzhong. Han Sui has put all his eggs in one basket, even at the risk In the face of the danger of losing the western border, we did not expect to fight to the death with us. The court, including myself, underestimated Han Sui's determination to occupy Guanzhong."

"The Guanzhong War is about ZTE's great cause and about life and death. We cannot and cannot afford to be defeated. Therefore, my lords must win this battle at all costs, even if the losses are heavy."

=

"Our advantage in military strength is too small. In order to be able to hit with a single blow, we can only show weakness and lure the enemy first, and let the rebels attack in an all-round way. After the enemy's attack intention is exposed, we will launch a fatal blow against the enemy's vital points. Chen Wei pointed at the map and drew a circle in front of Wannian City, "We will deploy 5000 people to the south of Baiqu first."

Right in front of the middle road is Lord He Feng's [-] army.In the Wannian city behind the middle road, there are five thousand elites of Mr. Duan Xuan.

An army of [-] cavalry was deployed on the left wing.Yang Feng, Hua Xiong, and Liang Baiwu commanded [-] infantry.Master Liu Ming commanded five thousand cavalry.

The right wing is also an army of [-] cavalry.Zhang Baiqi, Yu Digen, and Li Yao commanded [-] infantry.Master Yang Ming commanded five thousand cavalry.

On the north bank of Baiqu, the [-] infantry army of Xian Yuyin, Zhang He, and Gao Lan, and the [-] cavalry army of Qu Yi, Yan Rou, Pang De, and Liu Bao will enter the battlefield at any time.

=

Chen Wei briefly explained the principle of the battle, and then said: "Today we shot three rounds of long arrows on the battlefield. They have defeated us, but their advantages are limited, and if they want to defeat us, they can only gather double or even triple the force on the local battlefield to attack one of our wings, otherwise they are very likely to return without success.”

"If the rebel army's attack strategy is indeed like this, then we can break through the enemy's formation as long as we gather the main force to wipe out the enemy's containment wing. Once the rebel army's formation is broken, the morale will inevitably lose, and the morale of the army will inevitably be in chaos. A small advantage can be used to the extreme, and the army can take the opportunity to cover up and defeat the rebels."

"However, there is a key problem to be solved here, and that is the Xiliang iron cavalry. There are a large number of Xiliang iron cavalry, at least between 3 and 4. Such a huge army of iron cavalry is supporting the attack on the two wings of the army. We must It is very difficult to defeat the enemy's containment wing, but if we cannot solve the enemy's containment wing quickly, our army under the enemy's main attack may be severely damaged or completely defeated, so..." Chen Wei pointed to the right sage king Liu Ming and Du Liao General Yang Ming said, "After the attack begins, the two adults must try to lure the Xiliang iron cavalry away from the two-wing battlefield, let our main iron cavalry give them a head-on blow, and make the Xiliang iron cavalry lose their combat effectiveness or at least partially lose their combat effectiveness. The rebels can be defeated in the fastest time with the least cost."

Liu Ming and Yang Ming looked at each other with embarrassment.On the battlefield, the generals of any side will strictly obey the command of the commander-in-chief, and will not lead the army to leave the battlefield without authorization because of chasing and killing the fleeing enemy.If the commanding generals do not obey the command, the consequence is likely to be the failure of the war. This truth is clear to ordinary soldiers, let alone those commanding generals.

"A large part of the Xiliang iron cavalry are Qiang people." Xu Rong said calmly, "The Qu commanders and commanders of those Qiang people may not obey Han Sui's words, and once the war starts, the temporary commanders will command the attack on the battlefield on both wings. , those Qiang leaders are even more lawless, so as long as you keep a close eye on the Qiang people, there is definitely a chance to provoke them and lure them away from the battlefield."

Liu Ming and Yang Ming bowed to accept the order.

"After the adults go back, order the soldiers to keep their clothes on, their swords in their hands, and be ready to fight at any time."

"Is your lord worried that Xiliang people will attack the camp at night?" He Feng smiled, "Han Sui wouldn't be in such a hurry to seek death, would he?"

"Be careful." Qu Yi glared at him, "When we were fighting in Xiliang, we were repeatedly attacked by him at night. We were almost killed by him during the battle in Juyuan. If you don't want to die, you can kill him at night. Keep your eyes open."

"Okay, okay." He Feng said repeatedly, "I must sleep with my eyes open at night, haha..."

=

A crescent moon in the sky shuttles through the thick clouds, either bright or dark.

Ma Chao closed his eyes and rode on.Five thousand soldiers followed behind him, walking slowly on the breezy plain.

"Brother, where are we going?"

Ma Chao opened his eyes, turned to look at the excited Ma Dai beside him, and said with a soft smile, "We are going to attack the enemy's camp. Are you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid." Ma Dai shook his head, but there was still a trace of timidity in his eyes.Ma Dai is Ma Chao's cousin, 17 years old this year.This time he went to Guanzhong, Ma Chao took him by his side, this is his only family member.

"Brother, will Brother Pang be here?"

Ma Chao's smile faded, and he said in a low voice, "He's in the Sky Desert, not here."

After Pound arrived in Tianqiong Desert, he met Ma Chao several times, and Ma Dai was also present at that time.Pang De was quite critical of Han Sui's actions, thinking that if Han Sui continued to communicate secretly with Yuan Shao, there would probably be accidents in all likelihood.Sure enough, when he was ordered to return to Guanzhong, Han Sui was going to join forces with Yuan Shao to fight against Hebei.In Ma Chao's view, although Hebei's approach is a bit aggressive, considering the long-term interests of Western Xinjiang, it is of course that the emperor and court of Jinyang should be respected.

Yuan Shao is a man-eating wolf, he is not trustworthy at all.How my father died, my husband seems to have forgotten all about it.Does he want to repeat the mistakes of his father?

I don't want to fight this battle.Even if they win the battle with the Northern Border Army, how much will the Xiliang Army have left?Yuan Shao came to support because Luoyang was going to be lost. He did it purely for himself, but why did the Xiliang people fight this battle?Xiliang people must first have strength, and then they can stand up to Hebei and Luoyang.Maintaining strength is the only way for Xiliang people to survive, but Mr. Uncharacteristically, he even used the full strength of Xiliang people to fight Hebei.It's incredible.

I once wanted to use Yuan Tan as an excuse to lead the army out of Guanzhong, but Yuan Tan had already left. This time it was Gao Gan and Xin Pi who entered the customs, so I couldn't find a reason.

"Brother, if Brother Pang is here, shall we fight him?" Ma Dai asked again.

Ma Chao was very depressed, he was silent for a while, and said in a slightly lucky tone: "He is in the Sky Desert."

"I think Brother Pang is there." Ma Dai pointed to the dark sky in front of him, and said seriously, "We have left Xiliang, what is Brother Pang still doing in the Sky Desert? He just needs to leave a few thousand people to threaten Qiang Qiang. People are enough. Think about it, we are here to fight the Northern Xinjiang Army, but he is helping us fight the Xiqiang people in the Sky Desert, is he that stupid? You don’t think that all Hebei people are fools, do you?”

Ma Chao's vest felt cold, and he involuntarily raised his head to look at the night sky.The dim moon winked playfully at him, as if mocking his stupidity.No, Pound will never know that he has quietly returned to Guanzhong, he must still be in the Sky Desert.

"Send the order to speed up the march."

A dynamite pierced the night sky and let out a scream of "咻...".The tranquility of the night was instantly torn apart.

Almost at the same time, a group of flames suddenly lit up the night sky, and then there were more and more flames on the plain, burning more and more vigorously, illuminating most of the night sky in a blink of an eye.

"We have been discovered." The scouts rushed forward, "The enemy's scouts have discovered us. We have been exposed, we have been exposed..."

"Blow the horn, blow the horn..." Ma Chao raised his gun and roared without hesitation, "Rush up, let's go up..."

"Woooo..." The shrill sound of the horn resounded through the night sky in an instant.

Five thousand cavalry soldiers galloped wildly on their horses, and the sound of horse hooves and killing became louder and louder, gradually converging into a huge sound wave that shook the whole field, and they flew towards the northern camp that was blazing in the sky in the distance.

=

"Boom, boom, boom..." The drums of war were like thunder, shaking the heavens and the earth.

People in the big camp shouted and screamed, and there was a lot of voices.The soldiers of all ministries remained calm in the face of danger, and under the command of the Shangguan, they quickly lined up, waiting for the moment when the fierce battle came.

Holding a water bag in one hand and black jerky in the other, He Feng walked slowly in the battle formation, yelling indistinctly, "Eat dry food, hurry up, don't fight hungry."

Many veterans looked relaxed, with weapons in their hands, food in their mouths, and whispered curses from time to time.A shield soldier half-kneeled on the ground, very nervous, as if he had exhausted all his energy, and beads of sweat dripped down his cheeks.He Feng walked up to him, waved at him, motioned him to stand up.

"Are you new here?"

The soldier nodded red-faced.

"what's your name?"

"fraud."

"Liar?" He Feng looked at him in surprise, and wanted to tease him, but seeing that he was trembling nervously, he swallowed the words back.

"First war?"

"Yes." The recruit forced out two words.

"have you eaten?"

"No."

"If you don't eat, you have no strength. If you don't have strength, you will be pierced by the enemy's spear. When you die, your shield will fall, and the spearmen, swordmen and archers behind your shield will lose their protection. , they will become the target of the enemy, and they will die with you.” He Feng handed the dried meat to the liar, “So you have to hurry up and put the food in your mouth and replenish your strength. To protect your life, but also to protect your companions."

The liar blinked his small eyes and looked at He Feng in panic, at a loss for what to do.

"There is your daily rations there." He Feng pointed to the leather pouch on the liar's waist, and said with a smile, "If this battle lasts for a day, if you don't have time to withdraw to replenish food, then you have to distribute the rations reasonably, you can't It was all eaten up at once."

The liar kept nodding his head, stuffed the jerky in his mouth, and devoured it hungrily.

"And..." He Feng kicked the shield in the liar's hand, "The enemy is more than a mile away from here, and there is no shadow, but you hold the shield with all your strength. Then wait until the enemy comes to kill you." , do you still have strength? Look at them..." He Feng pointed to the veterans standing around the liar, "their faces don't even have a drop of sweat, but your clothes are soaked, isn't it your strength? In vain?"

"Remember, if you want to survive on the battlefield, you must first conserve your energy, and don't waste energy when it is unnecessary. Secondly, you must seize all the time to recover your energy. You can eat some food and drink water. If there is no food If there is no more water, then you will drink the blood of the enemy."

The liar was startled, his small eyes widened immediately, he looked at He Feng in fear, and asked a very stupid question, "Have you ever drank?"

"Haha..." The soldiers around couldn't help laughing in unison.

He Feng patted him on the shoulder vigorously, "Live well."

=

Han Sui looked at the blazing fire in the distance, and regretfully shook the whip in his hand.

"We fought against Xu Rong in Xijiang for many years in the past, and he suffered a lot from us." Ling Ru shook his head and said, "Now he has learned well and is prepared. Do you want to send more troops to Meng Qi? ?”

"Don't increase troops for now." Han Sui said, "I want to know how many people Xu Rong has."

"Order Li Kan on the left wing and high-ranking officers on the right wing to advance rapidly. When fighting fiercely in the middle, break through the left and right lanes of the Northern Army, let the iron cavalry rush up quickly, and draw all the enemy's cavalry out."

=

Xu Rong, Chen Wei, Huangfu Li, and Duan Xuan hurried up the tower.

Piles of flames illuminated the battlefield within a few miles, tens of thousands of soldiers were rushing to form, and the flags and flames of various colors were intertwined, making people dazzled.

In the night sky farther away, countless torches are like brilliant stars, embellishing the night beautifully. This beautiful and huge fiery red nebula is flying rapidly from all directions.

The roar of the galloping cavalry approached from far away, the bloody killing sound became more and more intensive, and the tall city tower began to tremble slightly.

"The iron cavalry from Xiliang is going to kill our middle lane." Duan Xuan asked in surprise, "Sir, do you want to increase troops to the middle lane?"

Xu Rong shook his head, "No matter how brave Han Sui is, he wouldn't dare to put all the cavalry in the middle. Let him charge now, I want to know where his main attack is." Then he looked at Huangfu Li and asked with a smile, " Shall we play a game of chess?"

"Okay." Huangfu Li said happily, "It's better to have some wine."
