Shu Chen

Chapter 531
The weather in June in midsummer is changing rapidly.

The sky was still scorching hot and clear just now, suddenly there were countless dark clouds rolling and galloping, coming from all directions, piled up in piles, getting denser and denser, like a thousand troops crushing.

The sky suddenly became very low and dark, as if it had been filled with ink.

The distant mountains that were about to be covered were gray, and the rolling hills could no longer be distinguished; the soldiers of the Han and Wei dynasties who were about to fight in the valley were all oppressed and breathless.

A trace of coolness appeared in the world and spread into the hearts of everyone.

I saw the flag that had been drooped and curled by the sun, the tail began to shake slightly, pulling the flag and stretching it slowly, until it was furious in the wind.

The transition from breeze to squall is almost seamless.

The lush branches and leaves of the trees on the gentle slopes of the low hills were also blown by the wind, playing the prelude to the war first.

"Crack!"

A bolt of lightning pierced the dark cloud-covered sky, making the sky and the earth brighten up.

Zheng Pu, who was standing under the big banner at the rear, waved down the order flag high in his hand at this moment.

"Boom~"

The sound of thunder resounded throughout the world.

On the side of the big banner, in front of the cowhide drum, the shirtless soldier holding the drumsticks with both hands, who had been staring at the command flag in Zheng Pu's hand, also slammed down the two drumsticks violently.

"Boom!"

"Boom! Boom!"

Soybean-sized raindrops whizzed down from the sky with the momentum of defeating thousands of troops and invincibility.

Some fell on the dry ground, smashing the dust into a small pit; some fell on the small stream in the valley, stirring up ripples.The torrential downpour came extremely violently, and in an instant, it seemed that gods and demons were throwing wildly in the air, and thousands of threads were scattered from the dark clouds like ink, gradually stitching the sky and the earth together.

A drop landed on Liu Yin's brow bone right in front of the Yuli array, and the splash of mercury made him close his eyes instinctively.

But his right hand, at the moment when the war drum resounded, smoothly grasped the handle of the ring knife on the side of his waist.

"Kang clang~"

The unsheathed sharp blade pointed forward, and the eyes that opened again were full of emotion, and a roar came from his mouth, "Fight!"

"war!"

"Battle! Fight!"

The passionate voices of the soldiers of the Han army were fighting against the sound of thunder; the sound of neat and firm footsteps was heard, competing with the sound of the rainstorm.

On the opposite side, Wei Jun's Yuli infantry was also clamoring at this time, and they also roared like thunder and came to the death.

The seemingly insignificant human beings' insistence on fighting to the death angered the master of heaven and earth.

"Crack!"

The silver snake danced wildly, and streaks of white light tore through the pitch-black sky, as if God was threatening with sharp knives.

Or it seems that the master of heaven and earth intends to cheer the two armies to the death.

"Boom~"

The thunder made a rumbling sound, trembling all things in the mountains and rivers, as if God was beating drums in the air, inspiring people to die without hesitation.

Finally, the two armies collided.

It's like rumbling and heavy thunder resounding through the valley, and it's like a vast expanse of raging waves hitting the mountains.

Spears and ring-headed knives clanged and danced, and short spears flew whizzing and flying. The dull shouts and short roars made the mountains and rivers tremble.

One is to return to the old capital's beliefs and encourage the tiger and wolf masters, who generously died under the encouragement of the undefeated brilliant record, vowing to tear their opponents apart; The elites who have survived to this day also want to put an end to the nightmare of "Wei's Great Trouble" with the same heroism that they are not afraid of death.

"war!"

"Kill~~"

The collision of swords and shields, thrusts of spears, ferocious faces, bloody swords and spears, deep howls, and the smell of blood filled the valley.

"Boom~"

The thunder and the sound of war drums urged.

"Woooo~~"

The wind howled and blew the horn.

The torrential rain swelled on the drum, and the lives of soldiers on both sides withered on the edge.

The two sides fought to the death like this, not giving an inch; the valley was full of corpses, knives and spears were scattered all over the ground, and blood flowed happily with the rain.

But under Wei Jun's banner, Sun Li's face gradually became ferocious.

Although the dense rain made his vision hazy, it did not prevent him from seeing that the two wings of his army were slowly disintegrating.

As for Zheng Pu, who was under the banner of the Han army, his eyes were full of solemnity, and he unconsciously grabbed the shoulder of the soldier holding a huge horn with one hand.

The Bull Horn is the order to command the Xiliang iron cavalry.

In the deployment of troops before the war, he put Liu Yin's troops in the center to resist the elite Huaisi of the Wei army.It is not necessary for Liu Yin to defeat or kill through Huaisi's elite front line, but only for his scorpion army to keep his own front line from collapsing.

Yu Lizhen's left wing is served by the Ju Fu Department.

He also doesn't need to push forward and take defeating the enemy's line as his own responsibility, but he must have spare energy to deal with the side attack of Wuhuan Tuqi from the Qianhong tribe; while Wang Ping's tribe on the right wing has no scruples, just go forward Just punch and kill.

It is different from Wei Jun's deployment of gathering cavalry in one place.

Zheng Pu divided the three thousand Xiliang cavalry into two parts, standing side by side.

However, Xu Zhi, who was on the left, supervised more cavalry than Zhang Te, who was on the right, about two thousand cavalry.

Because he has the chance to win, even after the expansion, the soldiers of the Jufu tribe are still dominated by the Banchu Man, and the Bajun soldiers who killed all the tribes of the Western Qiang in the past and told them "don't go south" are the main ones!

Using steps to resist riding, Ban Chuman has ample experience.

Especially when fighting nomadic tribes rather than Han cavalry.

Zheng Pu felt that with the help of Xu Zhi's two thousand cavalry from Xiliang, the Jufu tribe was able to restrain the Wuhuan Tuqi who led the Hong tribe, and bought time for the right-wing Wang Ping tribe and Zhang Te to tear apart the Wei army's battle line.

Yes, the decisive point of the Han army and the weakness that Zheng Pu knew were Zhou Dang's troops on the Wei army's flank.

Because the other tribes were all Wei Guoyongliang soldiers, they had been demoralized by the Han army in previous wars.

Moreover, Wang Ping's department had been subordinate to the prime minister's Chinese army before.

The soldiers under his command were separated from the "Wudang Army" named "Flying Army", and the predecessor was the five Qingqiang tribes.

In the past, every time there was a vacancy in the Qingqiang Army, the barbarians would rush to report, stabbing blood enthusiastically, taking pride in being recruited; from the joy of these soldiers hearing the battle, it can be seen that they are brave.

And Wang Ping lived up to Zheng Pu's expectations.

It was less than half an hour before the fierce battle, and when the Jufu Department on the left wing had just gained the upper hand, he attacked Zhou's Department's front to the point of collapse.

This also made Qian Hong, who had not received the order to attack for a long time, a little anxious.

Although the gentle slope where he led his cavalry before the battle was on Jufu's side, he could not rush to kill Wang Ping's side to reverse the disadvantage of Zhou Dang's troops, but he could attack the left flank of the Han army from the side!

As long as we take the lead in defeating the left wing of the Han army with the superiority of the Wei army before Zhou Dang's troops are defeated, won't the battle be locked?

The situation is urgent, what are you waiting for!
Qian Hong was puzzled, thinking whether to attack without waiting for Sun Li's order.

But what he didn't know was that the reason why Sun Li didn't give the order at this time was because he knew that the decision to let Wuhuan Tuqi attack was an act of "success or benevolence".

He had noticed a long time ago that the Han army had divided the Xiliang iron cavalry into two groups.

Knowing that the left wing of the Han army also gained the advantage, why Zheng Pu did not take the lead in ordering the cavalry to attack.

The strength of the Han army is too small.

If the Xiliang iron cavalry were sent out first, the defenses at Dazhu and Jingu would be wiped out, and they would face the danger of being attacked by Wuhuan Tuqi and beheaded to seize the flag.

And once Wuhuan Tuqi attacked, Zheng Pu no longer had such worries.

It will also make the Xiliang iron cavalry move in response to the situation.

Let me ask, Zhou Dang's department is already on the verge of collapse, if there is another attack from more than a thousand Xiliang iron cavalry, how can he hold the front line?

And can the Qianhong tribe break through the obstruction of the Xiliang cavalry before the Zhoudang tribe is pinched and defeated?
Sun Li felt that this possibility was unlikely.

Therefore, he sent more than a thousand Huaisi soldiers from the central army to support Zhou Dang's troops.

Because it was found that the battle situation in the middle road was also very unsatisfactory.

The [-] elite Huaisi troops at the front of the center were unable to break through the Han army's line of only [-] soldiers. Even if he dispatched another [-] soldiers to crush them, he still couldn't make a contribution with twice the enemy's advantage.

Therefore, regardless of Qianhong's repeated calls for instructions to advance with the horn, he still let Wuhuan Tuqi hang his troops.

He is waiting for the fighter plane to appear.

In other words, he was waiting for the changes in the battle situation: whether the Han army's central army could not hold on first, or whether Zhou Dang's troops fell into precarious situation again.

Another half an hour passed.

At this time, the torrential rain had stopped, the dark clouds covering the sky had dispersed, and the scorching sun was scorching the earth again.

But he couldn't ignite the burning heat in Sun Li's heart.

Gein's flag embroidered with "蜑獽" is still standing proudly!

The middle road of the Han army, which had been squeezed into a thin line, remained motionless and firm as a rock.

And not only did Zhou Dang's department on the flank once again enter a state of dormancy, but even the front of Wang Qi's department on the other side began to disintegrate.

In other words, if Wuhuan Tuqi is not allowed to attack, there will be no suspense in this battle.

"Woo~"

"Woo~~woo~~"

The sad and desolate ox horn finally sounded from under the banner of Wei Jun.

Qianhong's hanging heart finally fell.

"Burst!"

Howling impatiently, he rushed forward with Wuhuan Tuqi.

At the same time, Zheng Pu could finally let go of the hand that had been resting on the horn soldier's shoulder.At the same moment, drums and horns sounded loudly at the banner of the Han army, and the Xiliang iron cavalry on both sides kicked their horses' bellies and charged away.

A total of tens of thousands of horseshoes trampled on the ground, causing the sound of thunder to rise on the ground, replacing the sound of thunder that disappeared after the rain stopped.

This is the last thunder in this valley.

The thunder that decides the winner.

The thunder from the five thousand Wuhuan Tuqi and the thunder from the two thousand Xiliang iron cavalry supervised by Xu Zhi mixed together without distinction.

But it stopped at the side of Jufubu.

To be precise, it stopped in front of Liu Lin.

As Ju Fu's deputy, he hid in the formation with a death-death battalion that had not been replenished, and kept his strength all the time.

When the muffled thunder sounded, the two hundred heavy infantry held spears that were more than two feet long as the backbone, and cooperated with Xu Zhibu to make Qianhongbu no chance to charge.The muffled thunder from Zhang Te's troops caused Wang Ping's troops on the left to penetrate Zhou Dang's defense line in one fell swoop.
