The army formation was broken through and immediately collapsed.

The Yellow Turban Cavalry seemed to have premeditated it. The Yellow Turban Cavalry rushed into the formation and then retreated to both sides for a moment.

The timing was perfect. After charging, the Yellow Turban cavalry separated to both sides, which just made room for the follow-up troops to fight. Otherwise, the previous tactic of riding behind would have made it inconvenient for infantry and cavalry to cooperate, and the cavalry would also hinder the troop strength.

Expand.

Throughout the battlefield, the official and army formations were broken through and were at a disadvantage. The Yellow Turbans and Xiliang cavalry harassed both wings of the Yellow Turbans, but were stopped by the long rafter spear formation and the force was balanced.

All in all, the Yellow Turbans have the upper hand.

The Yellow Turban cavalry who broke through in the middle rushed into the formation and then broke away. They immediately divided into two groups, one on the left and one on the right to return to the main formation to support them.

The intention of the Yellow Turban Cavalry was obvious, it was to go for the Xiliang Cavalry.

After all, the Xiliang cavalry are elite and can respond very quickly to emergencies in battle.

Seeing that the Yellow Turban Cavalry came back to fight, the Xiliang Cavalry immediately gave up harassing the two wings of the Yellow Turban and left further away.

The Xiliang cavalry fled, but the Yellow Turban cavalry was in hot pursuit.

Both sides of the Yellow Turban army temporarily lost their cavalry strength.

However, at this time, the two wings of the Yellow Turban will no longer be harassed by the Xiliang cavalry, and the Yellow Turban's rear wing will no longer have to worry about being harassed by the Xiliang cavalry. The two flanks and rear wings of the Yellow Turban are stable.

As for the official army, the flanks and rear flanks of the official army were also stable, but in the middle of the official army's formation, the Yellow Turbans concentrated their elite troops to break through. Seeing that the entire army's formation was deformed, the decline was irreversible.

The situation on the battlefield is clear, and when the Yellow Turban cuts through the army's formation into two, the outcome will be clear.

Zhang Jiao was one step ahead of Dong Zhuo.

Zhang Jiao obviously used the method of pitting inferior horses against superior horses, exchanging pieces for an advantage.

The top-ranking soldiers in the army are the Xiliang Jingqi under Dong Zhuo's command.

Zhang Jiao used both wings to strengthen the spear array and hold back the Xiliang cavalry.

Of course, Zhang Jiao can also use the Yellow Turban Cavalry to stop the Xiliang Cavalry, but this method of using superior horses against superior horses cannot give the Yellow Turbans an advantage.

Therefore, Zhang Jiao used his long rafters and spears to form an array of these inferior soldiers to counter Dong Zhuo's Xiliang cavalry.

As for Dong Zhuo, if he did not attack the flank, the long rafter spear formation would not be able to achieve success, and it would not be too late for the Yellow Turban Cavalry to appear again.

Fortunately, the Yellow Turbans' flanks were exposed, and Dong Zhuozhen sent Xiliang cavalry to attack the flanks, hitting Zhang Jue right in his arms.

Dong Zhuo's superior cavalry was temporarily held back. Then, Zhang Jiao's superior cavalry, together with the medium-level cavalry and yellow scarf warriors, and all the armored men, concentrated in the center. The elite infantry and cavalry joined forces to attack Dong Zhuo's central infantry formation.

Then, the superior soldiers and the middle soldiers joined forces to fight against the middle soldiers of the official army, and the Yellow Turbans successfully broke through the official army's formation.

At this time, under the left and right wings of the Yellow Turbans, the formation of long rafters and spears had been harassed by the rain of arrows from the Xiliang Cavalry and was on the verge of collapse. It seemed that Zhang Jiao's flank was about to be lost, but at this time, the Yellow Turban Cavalry came back.

Then, the Yellow Turban flanks were stabilized.

Zhang Jiao made some moves and gained the Yellow Turban advantage.

After fighting for less than half a moment, the Yellow Turban elite broke through the army's formation and tore it in half.

The position of the officers and soldiers was unstable and their formations were in chaos.

Seeing that Dong Zhuo could not do anything, he ordered the withdrawal of troops.

The Yellow Turban took advantage of the situation and chased him for a while, then stopped again.

The Yellow Turban Cavalry fought against the Xiliang Cavalry and was defeated again. This is why Zhang Jiao did not dare to pursue the official army with all his strength.

It is difficult for the Yellow Turban cavalry to win against the Xiliang cavalry alone.

Earlier, Dong Zhuo led more than a thousand Xiliang cavalry in a sudden advance. When Zhang Jiao planned to surround and kill the Xiliang cavalry, three to five hundred yellow turban cavalry were repeatedly routed by less than a hundred Xiliang cavalry.

The Yellow Turban Cavalry can only entangle the Xiliang Cavalry, but cannot stop it.

Dong Zhuo was defeated. Although he was defeated, his military strength was not much damaged.

Zhang Jiao saw Dong Zhuo retreating and ordered to advance slowly.

Xu pursued for two miles to a deserted village.

Zhang Jiao ordered him to rely on the deserted village and stationed himself on the spot.

At the same time, the Yellow Turban soldiers were ordered to find more wet firewood.

One day passes.

22nd.

Dong Zhuo reorganized his army and challenged the Yellow Turbans again.

Approaching the village where the Yellow Turbans were stationed.

Dong Zhuo saw that thick smoke was rising in this deserted village, and the thick smoke obscured it. For a moment, he didn't know what was going on in the village.

Dong Zhuo didn't know what was going on, so he didn't dare to attack for a while. He only ordered the crossbowmen to fire crossbow arrows from a distance at the deserted village covered by thick smoke.

After more than ten rounds of arrow rain, there was no sound in the deserted village.

Dong Zhuo saw something strange and ordered his soldiers to go into the deserted village to investigate.

The soldiers entered the village and came back after a while to report that there were only piles of wet firewood in the deserted village and there was no one in the village.

"Hmph! Pretending to be a ghost!" Dong Zhuo sneered.

Suddenly another scout came to report that he saw the yellow scarf running towards Nanluan.

Dong Zhuo thought that the Yellow Turbans were attacking from the east to the west, so he escaped overnight.

It can be seen that the Yellow Turbans are still afraid of fighting with the official army.

He fought countless battles with the thief Zhang Jiao, but how could Zhang Jiao ever win a great victory in a field battle?

Dong Zhuo knew that Zhang Jue wanted to shrink the city again, so he ordered the entire army to pursue him.

Ahead, Zhang Jiao was already waiting in formation.

In another battle, Dong Zhuo used the Xiliang cavalry to completely press the left wing, making one side stronger.

Zhang Jiao also used his cavalry to press all the left flank, tit for tat.

Confront each other, attack each other.

The officers and soldiers connected with the Yellow Turban formation, and with only twenty steps left, suddenly several oxen were driven out of the Yellow Turban formation, and bundles of firewood were tied behind the tails of the oxen.

The yellow turban lights the oxtail firewood bundle and rushes into the fire ox formation.

The fire lit the ox's tail, and the ox went crazy and hit the officers and soldiers.

The Yellow Turban Warriors took the opportunity to follow the Fire Ox Formation and charge into the formation. They also seized the upper hand and broke through the official army's formation.

At this time, the Yellow Turban Cavalry and the Imperial Army Cavalry clashed on the flanks and became entangled.

After all, there are slightly more Yellow Turban cavalry. If they deliberately entangle them, the Xiliang cavalry will not be able to escape and harass the Yellow Turban main formation.

Taking advantage of the advantage of taking the lead in breaking through the Fire Ox Formation, the Yellow Turbans tore through the official and army formations. The official and army formations were in chaos, and Dong Zhuo ordered the withdrawal of the troops.

The army retreated in infantry formation, but the Yellow Turban cavalry could not stop the Xiliang cavalry, and the Xiliang cavalry escaped.

In the two battles before and after, the Yellow Turbans won successive small victories. Although they won, they killed a thousand enemies and suffered 800 losses, but they were unable to annihilate most of Dong Zhuo's troops.

It was agreed with Liu Xuande, a small military advisor of the Zhuozhou Rebel Army, that if the Yellow Turbans were to be damaged, Dong Zhuo's military strength would be damaged.

However, Dong Zhuo's army was far more powerful than the Yellow Turbans. There were more than ten thousand officers and soldiers, 70% of whom were soldiers. Coupled with the bravery of the Xiliang cavalry, it was not easy to win two battles in a row.

Zhang Jue frowned as he watched Dong Zhuo's army retreat.

Zhang Jiao ordered the entire army to retreat and return to Nanluan.

——

On the 23rd, it was already afternoon.

More than ten miles east of Nanluan City, the rebel army has been camping here for four days, but the Yellow Turbans have not come as promised.

Li Mengxi waited at the intersection every day. Zhang Fei sarcastically said that Zhang Jiao must have escaped. Zhang Jiao is a thief, how can he talk to you about morality?

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Mengxi was also confused, Zhang Jiao really ran away.

The sun is gradually setting in the west, and it's evening again.

Suddenly, the scouts from the front came back and said that a large group of people was coming this way. The leader had a flag and wrote "General Tiangong".

Li Mengxi and Liu Bei looked at each other and said to themselves, they are finally here.

"Let's go!" Li Mengxi, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, the rebel cavalry, and Guan Yu's soldiers came to greet the Yellow Turbans.

Soon, Li Mengxi bumped into the Yellow Turban troops who were in a miserable state. They saw the Yellow Turban troops, their heads were gray and their faces were covered in blood, and they were heavily wounded. Many of the Yellow Turban soldiers stopped for a moment, holding their guns in their hands, and resting on the guns for support.

The deputy has no physical strength at all and looks like an army in desperate situation.

On horseback, Zhang Jiao saw among the Zhuozhou people who were coming, under a big flag with the character "Liu", there was a man with drooping ears and shoulders.

Under the banner of Liu Zi, Liu Bei also looked at Zhang Jiao curiously.

As they got closer, the two parties met.

Looking closer, Zhang Jiao saw that Liu Bei had a generous face, big ears and shoulders, and he had a strange appearance.
