Chapter 252 Battle on the battlefield(1/2)

Thirty miles outside Guandu City, on the open plain.

In January 201 AD, a strategic decisive battle with extremely far-reaching influence that determined the fate of the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty came quietly on this ordinary night. Two powerful forces would start a fight of iron and blood around the historically unknown city of Guandu.

, no matter who wins or loses, the significance of the battle and its classic style will be recorded in the military history textbooks of future generations. This is the famous Battle of Guandu.

In the cold dusk, the Chu infantry and cavalry in red armor had retreated to the southern hills outside the main battlefield, and the word "Chu" on the banner was still faintly visible.

The hilltop to the north of the main battlefield was covered in darkness. The regiments with black flags and armor were neatly arranged under the banner of "Yuan" and were waiting angrily. They looked angrily at the Chu army on the hilltop to the south, ready to charge at any time.

The Chu army on the hilltop to the south gathered into two formations of infantry and cavalry, looking equally angrily at the anti-Chu alliance on the hilltop to the north, also ready to charge at any time.

The blood-red morning glow was gradually fading, and the two sides were locked in a deadly confrontation. Neither side retreated, nor did either side charge. The two armies were like two tigers staring at each other, with no one willing to take the lead in leaving the battlefield.

Nie Zefeng is in the Zhongjun, flanked by Lu Bu, Zang Ba, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Li Yan, Liu He, Gan Ning, Su Fei, Gao Shun, Zhang Xiu, Chen Dao, Wei Yan, Wenpin, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao,

Zhang Bao, Han Hao and other generals.

Although Nie Zefeng defeated all the elite and 300,000 troops of the Chu army this time, this was the first time since the Chu army was enfeoffed that they gathered together. Except for Huang Zhong and Chen Ying, all the generals arrived on the battlefield.

Nie Zefeng looked back at his 300,000 troops, and then at the anti-Chu alliance opposite him. He joked to himself: "Everyone, I always thought that the 300,000 troops were already very large, but now we are compared with the coalition forces opposite.

, it really turned into a grain of sand.”

Lu Bu, who was standing next to him, said encouragingly: "Your Majesty, the enemy's army is 2.5 million, and our army is only 300,000."

Zhao Yun raised his spear and interrupted: "Your Majesty, we cannot win this time unless we fight to the death."

Next to them, Gao Shun, Zhang Xiu, and Chen Dao also expressed their agreement and insisted on defeating this world-defying army.

Nie Zefeng turned around, looked at the generals around him and said: "Okay, today I will either lie down outside Guandu City and let future generations avenge me, or I will cross Guandu City and let future generations remember my name forever.

"

In the large formation on the opposite side, Yan Liang next to him explained to the eighteen princes: "Alliance leaders, generals, the one standing in the middle is King Nie Zefeng of Chu. We should send a hundred thousand cavalry to rush up and capture the thieves first.

right."

Yuan Shao waved his hand and said: "No, our advantage is to gather in large numbers. If we can't be scattered, Nie Zefeng will defeat us individually."

When the anti-Chu alliance was discussing the battle plan, Wenpin, who was on the opposite side of the Chu army's formation, praised: "Since the alliance was formed, Yuan Shao has not used separate lanes to attack, but has used mass gathering. This move is really brilliant.

!”

Nie Zefeng praised: "Yes, if I don't fall for his trick and I attack across the entire front, one of our soldiers will be hit by ten weapons of the coalition, but my three hundred thousand gold and iron horses will only focus on his

The Chinese army has 300,000 troops, so it’s one-on-one. If we can’t defeat him, we can only blame ourselves for being lame sheep, bad horses, and skinny camels.”

Nie Zefeng grabbed the reins of his horse fiercely, and then ordered: "Pei Yuanshao, where are my five thousand white-stepping army?"

At this time, Pei Yuanshao took a step forward and said: "It's right behind you."

All the generals followed Nie Zefeng's gaze and saw the mysterious Tabai Divine Army.

Each of them was covered in tight clothes and armor, but each of them held a Japanese standard saber in his hand, carried a powerful crossbow behind his back, and carried arrows with him. There were also various weapons, such as spears and broadswords, hanging on the horse.

The leader of them, General Qinglong, Baihu shouted: "Long live the King of Chu, long live the King of Chu."

The countless Tabai Divine Army behind them also shouted: "Long live the King of Chu, long live the King of Chu..."

Nie Zefeng pulled back the war horse that was excited by the crowd. After the war horse neighed, Nie Zefeng waved his whip and pointed forward and said: "The enemy is on the opposite side, ten times more than us. They threaten to fill up our grain of sand with the sea.

Are you afraid?"

Qinglong and Baihu shouted loudly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

The sound of those ten thousand people actually shook the entire mountains and rivers.

Nie Zefeng continued his impassioned speech: "Today, I will rely on you to rush to the opposite hillside, seize the flag of Yuan Shao, the leader of the anti-Chu alliance, and write all our heroic ambitions together in Guandu City!"

All the Tabai Divine Army roared here: "Capture the flag, capture the flag..."

Nie Zefeng looked at the angry crowd of Tabai Shenjun and began to order: "Zhou Cang."

"exist!"

"Lead 15,000 vanguards to lead the charge for me."

"yes."

"Gan Ning, Su Fei."

"exist."

"Give me cover with five thousand archers."

"yes."

"Lu Bu!"

"exist!"

"I personally led 10,000 Tabai Shenjun troops and inserted them into the enemy's central position like a sharp knife."

"yes."

"Heroic sons of Mother Chu, the power of the God of War will exert its power on you. The time has come for you to make great achievements. Charge."

Then, Zhou Cang led 15,000 cavalry troops and began to gallop forward, while the archers led by Gan Ning and Su Fei followed suit.

From the Chu army's position came the sound of drums.

Thousands of troops and horses rolled towards the coalition forces like an iron flood.

Yuan Shao watched the Chu army on the opposite side charging towards him. He reined in his horse and calmly ordered: "Gongsun Kang, call Chu Chuquan Shanyu to come out and suppress the enemy."

After hearing this, the two princes began to lead their 80,000 cavalry forward to attack.

The sound of hooves of 80,000 cavalrymen was followed by the distant and desolate sound of drums and horns as they charged into battle.

On the way to charge, Zhou Cang saw the 80,000 cavalrymen who were also charging towards him. Then he raised his sword and ordered the whole army to stop advancing, shouting: "Bows and arrows!"

Behind Gan Ning, Su Fei understood and urged the archers who were following him to rush to the front and start pulling bows and arrows.

Although the Tabai Shenjun also carries crossbow arrows on their backs, these crossbow arrows must be fired with a crossbow machine. Although they are powerful and penetrating, the range of this crossbow arrow is limited and is not as good as the long-arm bows currently equipped by the Chu army.

Then, countless bows and arrows were raised, followed by "search-search-search"

Feather arrows filled the sky, dancing in the air, and shot at the charging soldiers one after another.

The war horse neighs in pain after being hit by an arrow, the soldier tightens the reins of the slow moving horse, and the soldier screams in pain after being hit by the arrow...

However, the soldiers behind still ignored the dangers ahead, riding on the corpses of horses, teammates, and brothers in front, and continued to charge forward while waving their swords...

There were still countless war horses in the charge, and the soldiers fell to the vast land one after another. Maybe the war horses could still stand up, but the soldiers could never stand up. Even if they occasionally stood up, they would be beaten by the thousands of troops behind them.

Crush it into powder and be buried in this land forever.

When he saw that the distance between the enemy troops was getting closer, Zhou Cang ordered again: "Launch."

Countless crossbow arrows instantly turned into machine guns, hitting the charging soldiers on the opposite side. At this time, the archers had retreated behind the cavalry regiment, because the current attack distance was no longer conducive to the safety of the archers, but it was obvious that

Although the 80,000 cavalrymen had killed and wounded 30,000 soldiers and horses during the charge, they still attacked suddenly.

Zhou Cang raised the long knife in his hand, and then shouted: "Kill."

Soldiers from both sides began to charge over, while the soldiers behind continued to fire bows and arrows.

Soldiers from both sides finally took over, and the more than 10,000 Yellow Turban Cavalry Legion finally fought with the remaining 50,000 cavalry. In an instant, two torrents burst out. The broadswords and long swords of the Chu Army Cavalry Legion shone in the cold wind in the sun, training.

The well-trained Chu cavalry regiment knocked off the Liaodong cavalry and the Huns cavalry one after another.

Nie Zefeng looked at the battlefield where flesh and blood were flying everywhere and horses were boiling with people. He felt a kind of panic in his heart all the time.

Nie Zefeng said to the herald next to him: "Tell Zhou Cang, don't worry about his vanguard officers, let me attack his central army directly."

"yes."

After the herald left, Nie Zefeng ordered again: "Li Yan, ask your archers to press me up."

Li Yan shouted loudly: "Archers, move forward."

Then the infantry archers in Li Yan's phalanx attacked forward one after another, firing rows of long arrows. The cavalry who acted as the vanguard fell again one after another, and the road ahead was cleared in an instant.

Then, Lu Bu personally raised the Fang Tian painted halberd in his hand and shouted loudly: "Go grab Yuan Shao's banner of the leader of the Chinese army, and charge me with the white divine army."

The White-Treading God Army showed off their Japanese standard sabers one after another and shouted: "Kill - kill!"

Another torrent of swords came charging from the Chu army. This torrent was so crazy. Although everyone only had two eyes exposed, their terrifying faces radiated from the inside out, and the effect was even more...

horrible.

The soldiers of the Tabai Army rushed to the center where the Allied flag was raised.

The shining saber was covered with blood wherever it slid, but the saber never left blood behind when killing people. Lu Bu took the lead and took the lead. Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand swept through thousands of troops. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the two sides fell into an unimaginable situation.

of massacre.

The Chinese army was garrisoned by 400,000 troops led by Yuan Shao's eldest son and second son.

The Tabai Divine Army once set a record of massacring 50,000 people by a thousand people, and even killed and injured dozens of people. In this battle, they began to show amazing combat effectiveness, and they were decimated wherever they went.

However, the opponent's 400,000-strong army, hidden arrows, long bows, and spears would hit these white soldiers, and some people in black clothes would still fall to the ground, or spit out blood and sleep here.

However, the Tabai Army moved forward indomitably and was invincible. However, their numbers continued to decrease sharply on the way to the charge.
To be continued...
