Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 706 Cutting
On the vast Jianghan Plain, the right wing of the Han army heard the cry of landslides and ground cracks. This cry was not a sound of morale boosting, but a sound of fear from the defeated soldiers.

what happened?

Lu Xun, Gu Tan and other generals of the Wu army were overjoyed. Not long after the start of the battle, could it be that the right wing of the Han army couldn't bear the real defeat?

In disregard of etiquette, Lu Xun raised his butt slightly, got off his horse, looked to the west, and tried to understand the situation ahead.A scout came galloping on a war horse, shouting joyfully: "General, good news! General Zhang Liang, with his heavy armored soldiers in front and cavalry as his flanks, has defeated the barbarians on the right wing of the Shu army."

After taking a breath, the scout continued: "Today, General Zhang Liang asked the commander if he would lead the army to advance and completely defeat the Han army?"

Gu Tan spoke directly, and said: "I also ask the general to order all our troops to attack with all their strength and completely defeat the Shu army. Don't let Wang Ping have time to dispatch, otherwise the fighter will be wrong!"

Lu Xun opened his mouth and was about to order to pursue them, but he thought that Wang Ping and Deng Ai were not without plan, so he was afraid that there might be fraud in them.

Lu Xun stabilized his mood and asked, "How about the enemy's flag? How did the soldiers react?"

The scout said without hesitation, "Commander, all the enemy's flags fell, and the barbarians in the camp threw away their helmets and armor and fled. Our army hunted down and beheaded a lot."

When all the generals heard the words, they all wanted to fight.However, Lu Xun raised his hand to veto it. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "The Han Chinese army is approaching and has not yet fought our army. Don't be careless. Order the whole army to advance, and no one can go deep alone without authorization. And order Zhu Ran and Zhuge Ke The second army will follow our army as soon as possible and march forward together."

"promise!"

With the waving of the flag of the Eastern Wu Central Army, the sound of golden drums was loud, and the soldiers of the Wu army advanced across the board. The right, middle, and left three marched forward with drums and shouts, advancing in a relatively parallel front.

Once the two armies start to fight head-on, orderly retreat is the most difficult.It is very easy for soldiers to lose the will to resist during the retreat, and the chasing army can easily chase and kill them.And if you have cavalry, chasing soldiers can be as easy as driving livestock.

The general of the Wu people naturally knew this truth, and the cavalry pawns placed on the right wing began to show their power.

Wu Jun's cavalry pawns spurred their horses to accelerate, and thousands of horseshoes kicked up the flying dust, resounding like the sound of thunder on the plain.

Fu Youlin straightened his helmet, raised his long lance with his right hand, waved it towards the sky, and shouted: "Follow me to fight, don't let the Wu people pass behind the battle line."

"Wow!"

There were about [-] cavalrymen belonging to his subordinates, and they quickly approached him as the center and kept moving forward.

The front part of the right-wing army fled, and the central part stood firm. At this time, if Wu Jun's cavalry were allowed to reach the back of the right wing or to the flanks for them to attack, they might really be defeated.

Immediately, among the right wing of the Han army, the roar of horseshoes hitting the ground sounded, because the terrain in the northwest was slightly higher, and the momentum of charging from a high position seemed to overwhelm Wu Qi.

The two armies quickly approached in the wilderness.

Compared with Wu Qi's childishness, when the experienced Han Qi galloped in the opposite direction, his running angle and speed were constantly changing.As a Xianbei Huqi, Fu Youlin was very confident in dealing with the Dongwu cavalry who had little experience in cavalry. He skillfully led the cavalry to draw a "sun" on the ground, occupying Wu Qi's backhand side.

What is the backhand side is also simple, people often use their right arm to exert force and swing weapons.If the enemy is on your left hand side, that is, the back hand side, it will be difficult for the cavalry to fight immediately, and the enemy cavalry is in your own hand.It is clear at a glance who has the upper hand and who is the loser.

Therefore, although Wu Qi had a large number of people, he was taken away by Han Qi.Wu Qi wanted to occupy the opposite side of the Han cavalry, but their riding skills were not as good as the Han cavalry. How could they bypass the Han cavalry, but they were shot and killed by the Han cavalry with bows and arrows.

In this way, Han Qi restrained Wu Qi and went around in circles with them, buying time for the big Han infantry to defeat the Wu army.

On the right wing of the Han army, Pu Zhong rode his horse to the old headquarters that had been properly arranged, and shouted: "Rectify the defeated army, stick to the front line, and do not retreat. Anyone who rushes to the formation and defeats the army will be killed on the spot."

"promise!"

Chased by the Wu army, the barbarians in the front line ran back, crying for their father and mother, ready to attack the army formation.The already well-prepared army formation fired crossbows and killed several barbarians on the spot, making the barbarians even more at a loss.

The Bashu Han soldiers who were hiding in it played a role in treating them. They fled with the large army and shouted loudly: "Run to the two sides!"

Saying that, the Bashu Han soldiers fled to both sides in a swarm, and even ran to both sides with the fleeing barbarians.With the support of other sergeants on the right wing and the beheading of the military judge, the momentum of the rout stopped.

Pu Zhong let out a breath of turbid air. Fortunately, General Wei had the foresight to place the Han soldiers in the army, otherwise the barbarians in the army would rush into the army, and the consequences would be disastrous.

These seasoned Bashu soldiers have experienced many battles. Unlike the savage soldiers who have little combat experience who are nervous and chaotic, they will be more sober.They are also the main force of the Han army. With support, they can pretend to be defeated but not collapse.

However, the barbarians lacked training and had little experience in battles, so they could pretend to be defeated without panicking, which was too difficult for them.

Looking down from the sky at this time, I saw that the right wing of the Han army was no longer in the front, and the old troops led by Pu Zhong and the Chinese army led by Wang Ping formed a neat front.When Deng Ai's troops were fighting on the right and left wings of the Han army, they also stepped forward slightly, forming a neat front with the Chinese army, facing the three front, left, and right troops of the Wu army.

It didn't take long before the two armies of Han and Wu officially fought against each other, and the intensity was incomparable to that of the right wing just now.However, due to Deng Aila's long front, the left-wing front of the Han army was longer than the right-wing front of the Wu army.Although the two armies fought against each other, there were still some fronts on the left wing of the Han army that had not fought against the Wu army.

At this moment, Deng Ai waved the command flag, and the left wing moved as a whole.The first is the cavalry. The light and heavy cavalry led by Xiang Yu moved suddenly, riding their horses into battle and launching towards the cavalry on the right wing of the Wu army.

The cavalry of the Han army let out a deafening roar, rode their bows in their hands, accelerated their horses, and sent out the arrows on their hands with the speed of their horses, fighting with Wu Qi in a circle.

Naturally, the Wu army's right-wing cavalry would not show weakness, in case the Han army attacked their infantry, they also rushed towards them.The elite Ma Xianjun continued to approach, the bowstring trembled at the same time, there was a sound of piercing through the air, and a burst of arrow feathers shot out.

The arrows of the two sides fell on each other's body, or were blocked by the armor, or pierced into the human body.Falling off the horses, many people were trampled to death.

Just like the cavalry battle that took place on the right wing of the Han army, the Wu army cavalry was restrained by the Han cavalry.

At this moment, about a thousand blue-armored cavalrymen in the left-wing formation, riding tall Liangzhou horses, wearing bright green brocade and sturdy armor, rushed out of the army formation under the leadership of Zhou Hui.

Zhou Hui galloped out with his bow in his hand, followed by a thousand heavy cavalry. They walked out of the army formation and circled half an arc. According to the arrangement Wang Ping said, under the eyes of Wang Ping, Deng Ai, Xiang Yu and other big Han generals Proof, cut straight into the gap where Lu Xun and Zhu Ran were stationed.

That's right, it is the gap between the armies of Lu Xun and Zhu Ran.Although Zhu Ran and Zhuge Ke entered the battlefield, there was a distance between them and Lu Xun.Lu Xun had been walking slowly before in order to wait for Zhu Ran and Zhuge Ke to strengthen his right wing, so that when the war started, he would attack Deng Ai's left wing.

However, there are variables, because although Zhu Ran and Zhuge Ke have joined the battlefield, they have communication barriers with Lu Xun.

In order to widen the gap between Zhu Ran and Lu Xun's armies so that the heavy cavalry can cut in, Wang Ping continued to use the method of feigning defeat on the right wing and letting the Eastern Wu army approach.When Lu Xun's army pursued them, they separated from Zhu Ran and Zhuge Ke's two armies.

And this gap was exactly what Wang Ping was after. Zhou Hun led the top armored cavalry of the Three Kingdoms, like a knife, straight into the gap between the two armies.

Wang Ping, who was staring at the progress of the left wing, took a long breath. His arrangement was 1/3 completed, and the next 1/3 would depend on Deng Ai's continued micromanagement.

Immediately afterwards, with the flag in Deng Aiwu's hand, Su Gu, who had received the military order, stood up, holding a pair of maces, and shouted: "You guys follow me."

The sharp soldiers of the Han army in red armor got up one after another, followed Su Gu around a half-arc, and hammered down towards Wu Jun's right wing.

Seen from the sky, Zhou Hui went straight into the gap between Zhu Ran and Lu Xun's armies. The left wing of the Han army, which had not yet fought against the right wing of the Wu army, broke down. wrap up.Between the right wing of Wu Jun and Zhu Ran and Zhuge Ke, there is a Qingjiawei led by Zhou Hun.

Wang Ping immediately raised his arms and shouted out involuntarily.His tactical cutting of Wu Jun has been completed, and the next 1/3 can be hunted and killed Wu Jun.

Deng Ai, who was sweating profusely, drew his sword guide and shouted hoarsely: "The whole army is attacking!"
