Chapter 234 Reverse War
The army of more than [-], carrying luggage, marched in the wild, and it also stretched for several miles.

When the scouts rushed to the Chinese army to report the news that the Han army had turned to kill, Wei Da Sima Cao Zhen felt that this battle was inevitable.

For one thing, this place is empty, and there is no geographical advantage for blocking roads.

On the other hand, the Han army suddenly turned to fight against the enemy, and they came at a fast speed, abandoning their luggage and lightly armed.

With a distance of more than ten miles between the two armies, it didn't take long to kill them, and the Wei army didn't have enough time to leave calmly.

Unless he abandons all his luggage and leaves.

But if he did so, in the season of ice and snow, it would be tantamount to seeking his own death.

If you walk slowly without abandoning your luggage, you will be overtaken by the Han army.

The long snake-like marching array has no defense at all.

Facing the menace of the sudden counter-war against the Han army, the fate of being defeated cannot be avoided.

At that time, the Han army will take advantage of the situation to drive the rout soldiers to cover up the kill, and the Wei army will be defeated for thousands of miles.

If there is no way to retreat, let's fight!
Cao Zhen, who has always wanted to crush Bashu with national power, has never been afraid of fighting.

I avoided fighting before, but I just wanted to wait until the time when the Han army could attack back and forth.

Therefore, in a short while, the thunderous drums of the Chinese army's banner urge Cao Zhen's various general orders, like ink dripping into clear water, to smudge around layer by layer.

All kinds of banners fluttered in the wind, guiding the formation of the various Wei armies.

The sound of the army Sima or Du Bo's small rattles was dense and eager, interspersed with the footsteps of the soldiers.

The khaki-colored military uniforms of the State of Wei were displayed indiscriminately on the originally empty and pale snow field, spread out in an orderly manner, and slowly gathered into many small square formations, dotted in the sky and the earth.It was based on the large banner of the Chinese army, and the Wei army in the front, which had already crossed it, returned to build the right-wing defense line; the Wei army in the rear, who supervised the transportation of grain and supplies, moved the chariot to one side and came to build the left-wing defense line.

The entire army lined up, which made Cao Zhen's big banner even more prominent.

This is a taboo in the military.

The big flag and the main general are too protruding. Once the enemy breaks through, the whole army will be destroyed.

However, Cao Zhen, who has been in the army for decades, actually did so.

Are you confident?

Or is there something evil?

The generals who lined up according to their orders had similar confusions in their hearts, but no one dared to question them.

"That's Da Sima."

Zhao Yan, the strategist who supervised the rear army and rushed to the left flank, smiled and explained to his followers, "I'm not going to talk too much, I just do my duty."

It's just that Cao Zhen, who he thought had other deep meanings, acted helplessly.

The sources of these [-] troops are too complicated.

A few months ago, they were stationed in Guanzhong, Jizhou, Luoyang or Hedong, etc., without commanding each other.

Even after several months of running-in, they couldn't cooperate with each other tacitly.

Cao Zhen worried that during the war, there would be improper coordination or other changes, so that the Han army could find a fighter and drive in.

Therefore, he placed the big banner in the front position to attract the elite of the Han army to attack.

The [-] soldiers of the Chinese army are all his headquarters, and they are also the elite divisions guarding Guanzhong all the year round.He has been established as an army for decades, and he went south with him to conquer Jiangdong and west to fight against the rebellion of Yongliang Haoyou or Qianghu.The soldiers have changed from batch to batch, but the morale is high and the combat power is strong.

With this elite team by his side, Cao Zhen has enough confidence.

Even if the Han army cannot be killed and retreated, it is not difficult to defend the front without losing it.

But can the Han army do what he wants?

Cao Zhen stood on the improvised high platform, looked around at the soldiers who had just completed their formation, and then turned his gaze to the south.

On the horizon over there, the red banner of the Han army has already appeared.

There is also the thunderous sound of horseshoes.

The Han army took the two thousand Qiang cavalry of Sima Zhuyi of the Huqiang camp as the vanguard, and Meng Yan, the Hubu supervisor at the back of the palace, was the front, and the cavalry came in parallel.

Riding faster than stepping.

"Woo~~ Whoa!"

"Woo~~~~ Whoa!"

Before Meng Yan, the Hubu supervisor, arrived, two thousand Qiang cavalry rushed forward under the leadership of Zhu Yi, riding their horses and whistling.

But before entering the land of an arrow, he turned sideways and returned.

Perhaps, they thought that the Wei army hadn't lined up yet, so they wanted to take advantage of the chaos and charge for a while.

This made Cao Zhen look slightly cold.

When the two armies are fighting fiercely, it is definitely a hidden danger to have a cavalry on the side who are good at capturing fighters.

But he couldn't.

None of Wei's cavalry is here.

The thousands of cavalry who were originally stationed in the pass were left in Youfufengyang City by him, taking into account the possibility of the Han army entering from Xiaoguan or the Qinling Valley.

The Xiongnu Rangers and Yongliang Jingqi who were conscripted here were all sent to Longyou.

It's not that he made a scheduling error.

Originally, he and Prime Minister Zhuge both guarded the camp and contained each other, so there was no need to keep cavalry.

Both sides left only two or three hundred light cavalry as scouts and sent messages for warning.

And the cavalry of the Han army was not here at first.

This army of Qiang cavalry, whose clothes and armor are messy and not well-organized, should have formed an army not too long ago.

I just don't know, why was it possible to break through the blockade of the Longyou Wei army and come here?

Cao Zhen was a little puzzled, but he didn't want to delve into it.

Just let the generals on the two wings pay close attention to the movement of the cavalry to ensure the order of the formation, and don't let the Qiang cavalry find an opportunity to attack from the side.

When he was young, Meng Yan led the Tiger Army.

Seeing that the Wei army was already in full battle, he did not rush to attack.

Instead, lean to the left (to the right of the Wei army) to make room for the Han army who arrived later, stop to adjust their formation and take a short rest.

At that time, the governor on the right side of the Wei army saw him, and raised a command flag to send a message, asking Cao Zhen of the Chinese army if he would allow him to attack.Its intention is to take advantage of the follow-up of the Han army to break through the tiger infantry first, and then pursue and cover up and sweep.

Indeed, this is a great opportunity.

The superintendent on the right wing of the Wei army was very keen on capturing fighter planes.

However, Cao Zhen directly denied it.

This is the main force of the Han army, not the rabble of Haoyou or Qianghu rebellion.

Whether the attack can defeat the Tiger Army, Cao Zhen is not sure; but he is sure that if it is not defeated, when the Han army arrives later, the Wei army will lose its formation.

It will expose the disadvantage that it is difficult for soldiers to coordinate operations.

What he seeks is stability.

As long as this battle is undefeated, Wei Guo has won!
Because as long as the main force of the Han army can't get rid of his tail, he can't get rid of the fate of being pinched.

It is related to the outcome of the battle of national destiny, Wei Guo has already come to the door.

Cao Zhen didn't want any accidents to happen, and he didn't need to kill the general and capture the flag.

He just wanted to make a steady transition and let the victory come smoothly.

Immediately, he was very happy.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the banner of Zhuge Liang, Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, appeared in everyone's sight.If he had accepted the request of the right-wing governor, he might have fallen into a melee by now.

"Drumming!"

He closed his eyes, raised his head slightly, and took a deep breath.

The icy feeling of the cold wind filled the abdomen, and Cao Zhen, whose expression couldn't help being shocked, ordered loudly, "Order all the ministries to stand firm and not go out to pursue without authorization! Violators, beheaded!"

"promise!"

Tigers and cardinals crowded together, advocating front and back, and a car covered in green music came slowly.

Zhuge Liang, the prime minister, stood on the top, holding the eaves of the car and looking out.

There is no military uniform, no saber; still wearing the crown and belt, dressed in white clothes like snow, let the cold wind wantonly pull the sleeves and temples.

The dignified face and burning eyes made all the soldiers firmly believe in the victory of this battle.

After all, the prime minister, who is cautious and cautious, never does anything he is not sure about.

In fact, is it true?
Fu Qian, who led a school of soldiers and horses to guard the left side of the car, was full of ambition, hesitation and confidence.

From the corner of his eye, there was still a ray of regret—he asked to be the leader of the army just now, but the prime minister waved him away without saying a word.

This made him feel very sorry.

A battle of this scale does not happen at random.

I was just guarding the driver's side of the car, and did not personally participate in feats such as beheading the general and capturing the flag, and I was really unwilling.

That's right, in Fu Qian's heart, he has already determined that his side will win.

There is no basis for this.

But it was such an inexplicable conclusion that even he himself didn't know the reason.

This is also the common judgment of all Han soldiers, and there is also no basis for it.

I just think that if you fight, you win.

It is as simple and easy to understand as resting when you are tired, eating when you are hungry, and drinking water when you are thirsty. There is no need to analyze any reason.

Perhaps, it was the calmness of wearing white clothes that made them feel that the banner of the Han Dynasty was all in the right direction.

"Boom!"

"Boom! Boom!"

The Han army had all arrived on the battlefield, and the drums were sounded.

Like the Wei army, the Han army also used the central army's big banner as a position, divided into left and right wings.

Hubu Supervisor Meng Yan and Huqiang Sima Zhuyi are on the left, and the front supervisor is on the right; under the cover of Qingqu given by the emperor Liu Chan, the prime minister's car is also very forward.

The distance between the two armies is also very close, only about two miles.

The soldiers with better eyesight in the front row could even see clearly the face of the son who was about to fight to the death.

With the drums and horns contending in each other's formation, the atmosphere gradually became suppressed.

"war!"

"Battle! Fight!"

He didn't promise any exciting rewards for beheading, nor did he explain the righteousness with emotion and reason, and he didn't declare the military law to swear to kill, and so on.Prime Minister Zhuge Liang just tilted his head, and nodded slightly to the land of drums and gold, and the thunderous shouts of killing from all parts of the Han army resounded throughout the world.

The soldiers in the front row breathed heavily in unison, and gripped the handles of their knives, spears or shields.

One is a small circle, and it is moving towards Wei Jun step by step.

Behind them were crossbowmen.

They had put the arrows on the strings long ago, and the arrows were pointing down to the ground. When the material officer gave an order, they would point half up to the sky and shoot out the arrows.

"Woo~~ Whoa!"

"Woo~~~~ Whoa!"

Zhu Yi also led two thousand Qiang cavalry, and slowly made a detour, intending to wait for Meng Yan's tiger infantry to fight the Wei army's right wing hand-to-hand, and wait for the opportunity to throw a bow or rush in.

The Han army was like this. After arriving at the battlefield, they took a short break to reorganize their formation, and then advanced slowly.

Sparing no strength, leaving no way out, all the troops were suppressed.

Even the Qingqu-covered car and the big banner standing proudly in the cold wind were only guarded by three schools of soldiers.

He Zhuge Liang, why are you so evil! ?
Cao Zhen, who was under the banner of Wei Jun, couldn't help frowning.

He couldn't understand why Prime Minister Zhuge, who had always been cautious, was so reckless.

Cao Zhen would not naively think that the prime minister would be contemptuous of the Wei army's refusal to invite the war before, so that he would arrogantly treat the Wei army's soldiers as chickens and dogs.

It is also unreasonable to say that the prime minister's move is to follow the example of breaking the boat and inspiring the soldiers' determination to die.

As the main force supervised by the prime minister himself, if he had no determination to die, then Bashu would have been wiped out long ago.

Perhaps, it is a quick decision.

After all, Prime Minister Zhuge knew his intention to pinch the main force of the Han army.

Therefore, before the Wei army from the various tribes in Longyou came, he planned to repel him who was sneaking behind him, so as to avoid being attacked front and back.

In the end, Cao Zhen deduced an unsatisfactory answer.

There is no better explanation than that.

He dared to conclude that all the troops of the Han army were here, and it was impossible for there to be ambushes or extra troops to arrange backup!
"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

Just when Cao Zhen was thinking about it, the Han army was already approaching a stone's throw away.

Coincidentally, dense arrows shot up from behind both sides, covering the already dim sky like dark clouds.

"kill!"

"Kill! Kill!"

Before the arrow hit the ground, the Han army suddenly roared and rushed towards the formation.

Similar to the field battle encountered, neither side had much time to maneuver, so after only two rounds of arrow throwing, the soldiers collided fiercely, and the battle between the fiery red and the earthy yellow began.

It also broke the silence and depression in winter and awakened the sleeping mountains and rivers.

Amidst the thundering drums and shouts of battle, the trees shook off the snow hanging from their branches, and the thin ice layer on the river made a slight creaking sound, forming mottled ripples.

God was also awakened.

Perhaps it was tired of seeing people killing each other in the world, so countless red clouds were gathered over the heads of the Han and Wei armies, and snowflakes were scattered one after another.

I want to use white purity to cover up the bloody desolation.

Unfortunately, all in vain.

While the head was turning, the limbs were breaking, and the liver was leaking, the scarlet blood spurted and flowed wantonly, and quickly solidified on the snow in the cold weather, turning into a coquettish blood flower.

There are numerous snowflakes, desperately covering up.

But the speed at which snowflakes cover up cannot keep up with the pace at which people's bodies are covered with blood.

A quarter of an hour passed, and the two sides fought inextricably.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and the two sides were still roaring like thunder, evenly matched, wasting the lives of the soldiers in vain.

But slowly, with the passage of time, the big banner of the Han army and the Qingqu Gai of the prime minister began to move forward slowly; it also made Cao Zhen's eyes shine coldly.

If you look down from the sky, you will find that the original straight battle line intertwined with fiery red and earthy yellow has been somewhat deformed.

The battle line in the middle is still good, without the slightest slant.

However, the battle lines on the left and right wings were slowly being suppressed, and there were faint signs of being overwhelmed and about to be broken through.

The right-wing front is not yet obvious.

Even the two thousand Qiang cavalry of the Han army had already begun throwing and trying to break through.

However, the general of the Wei army was very calm, and the sound of the commanding drums was still orderly, so that the order of the soldiers was not chaotic, and there was no need to worry for a short time.

The Zhao Yan tribe on the left wing is surprising.

There was obviously no cavalry harassment, and the main attacking Han army did not have an advantage in strength, but the battle line had been broken into several small gaps, and it was firmly nailed into the small formation of the Han army.
