Three Kingdoms: I will act as a substitute for the Hunjun

Chapter 164 Huang Zhong fights Zhang Fei (please subscribe)
Mandarin duck formation? Everyone looked confused when they heard this.

Xun Shuang and Xun Yu were good at planning the overall situation, but specific military formations were not their specialty. Huang Wan and Xi Zhicai knew some military affairs, but they had never heard of the Mandarin Duck formation.

Zhang Fei was only interested in fighting. He had never been exposed to any other formations, let alone the mandarin duck formation. Lu Bu knew a little bit about the formation, but he was not particularly proficient in it. He had also never heard of this type of formation.

All the ministers and generals present looked ignorant.

Liu Ming was too lazy to explain to them, and it was difficult to explain clearly in just one or two empty words. This needs to be verified in actual combat.

The Yuanyang Formation is an infantry combat formation invented by the famous general Qi Jiguang of the Ming Dynasty when he was fighting Japanese pirates. It focuses on improving the overall combat effectiveness through effective formation coordination when the individual combat power is not as good as that of the opponent.

Once the formation is completed, every battle will be won without any defeat. Therefore, Liu Ming is extremely optimistic about the victorious formation that will be used across time and space a thousand years later to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Although it may not be a dimensionality reduction attack, the power of the battle formation must be sufficient. It's eye-catching.

At this time, Gao Shun had finished the military exercise, and the soldiers returned to their original positions neatly. The formation was what it was at the beginning, and it will be the same formation after the exercise. Although none of them had bright clothes and armor, the moment they returned to their positions, their footsteps were clanging and their voices were loud. Shocking the whole audience, the neat steps were extremely shocking.

Thunderous cheers erupted outside the stadium.

"Your Majesty, the common people's military exercise is over, please give your Majesty's review!" Gao Shun said with cupped fists.

"Although the number is small, the fighting spirit is high. They are as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as invaded and plundered as fire, and as motionless as a mountain. They are no less than elite soldiers in a hundred battles." Liu Ming praised, "I will now make you the capital of the enemy." Lieutenant, you are in charge of infantry training, you must do your best and don’t let me down.”

When Gao Shun heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I am willing to die for Your Majesty, go through fire and water, and do whatever it takes."

When the local warriors behind him heard this, they all looked happy. They came here to join the army prepared to start from the bottom, and were even prepared not to be looked down upon by the regular army of the imperial court. However, they did not expect that when they first arrived, Gao Shun would They were honored to be named captains, and Gao Shun was responsible for the training of tens of thousands of infantry. As Gao Shun's fellow villagers and friends, their status would inevitably rise.

Liu Ming glanced at the tens of thousands of soldiers outside the field again, and said loudly: "Everyone has also seen that they can't compare to you in terms of length of service, in terms of combat experience, and in terms of armor. However, they are still not as good as you.

"However, when it comes to the execution of orders and prohibitions, you are not as good as them. When it comes to unyielding fighting spirit, you are not as good as them. When it comes to cooperation, you are not as good as them. When it comes to fighting strength, you are also not as good as them!

"A good man knows his shame and becomes brave. I order you to put away your distractions, concentrate on training, and face the upcoming war with a new look. From now on, Captain Gao Shun will be responsible for your training. You must obey military orders. , obey the command without making mistakes, otherwise, can you do it in military law?!"

"Yes!" All the soldiers responded in unison.

This was the first time they had seen His Majesty lecture in public. Those sonorous words directly touched their hearts and pointed out their shortcomings. They were greatly shocked and at the same time they became eager to win. They couldn't help but respond loudly, which was regarded as recognition of Gao Shun serves as their commander-in-chief and is willing to obey Gao Shun's training and command.

Huang Wan turned his head and looked at the three people from Yingchuan, and found that the three of them were also exchanging glances, and nodded silently to each other.

The three of them could only judge the emperor's quality through hearing and hearing. Huang Wan, as an important minister in the court, understood it relatively clearly. The current disintegration of the Han Dynasty was undoubtedly closely related to the emperor's mediocrity. But now, Your Majesty, Every move he makes is clearly a rare wise king.

Doesn't he look a little dull?

This obvious sense of separation even made him wonder, is this still the same His Majesty?

But he was standing in front of him alive, loudly boosting morale.

Where can I find such a good emperor who knows people well, can employ them, has the world in mind, and cares about the country?
He was originally transferred from the position of Yuzhou Mu to become an official in the court, but he was still a little reluctant. He was considered to be in the same position in terms of job level and was not promoted. However, he had to face all kinds of open and covert attacks in the court, and he would fall into trouble if he was not careful. Party strife and internal strife, but if you work outside as a frontier official, you have the final say on that side of the world, which is naturally much more nourishing.

But now he has changed his mind and is glad that he has the opportunity to perform his duties beside His Majesty. If His Majesty completely changes his ways and maintains his current state, then he, Huang Wan, will witness the resurgence of the Han Dynasty up close and personal. In the life of a man, is there anything better than this? Is this more exciting?

When everyone returned to the tent, they all stopped looking down upon Gao Shun, a young man who had just arrived. However, they, including Gao Shun, were eager to know what kind of magical formation His Majesty's Mandarin Duck Formation was.

Gao Shun was familiar with military books and had a good knowledge of formations, but this was the first time he heard about the Yuanyang Formation, and he was full of expectations.

Liu Ming was about to draw a brief formation diagram again to explain to everyone. Suddenly, an official returning from Nanyang reported that by the time he arrived in Nanyang, Huang Zhong had been summoned by Sun Jian to serve as a general, so he went to Nanyang to conquer the imperial edict. Huang Zhong failed.

Liu Ming secretly regretted that Huang Zhong was still one of the Five Tiger Generals in his seventies, and he was on par with Guan Yu in his prime. However, Huang Zhong was now in his prime, about forty years old. When a military commander is at his peak, his fighting power is much more powerful than when he is in his 70s when he is old and weak.

I'm afraid that Guan Yu is no match for Huang Zhong now. If he even wants to defeat Huang Zhong in his prime, Lu Bu can only take action.

At this moment, the loud beating of drums outside the camp was suddenly heard.

Everyone in the tent was stunned.

At this time, the flag officer hurriedly walked in and reported: "Your Majesty, Sun Jian's generals Han Dang and Huang Zhong are challenging outside the camp gate."

"These thieves, I, Old Zhang, were going to kill them all, but they showed up on their own." Zhang Fei stood up and said angrily.

"How many troops did they bring?" Liu Ming asked.

"There are about three thousand troops." the flag official replied.

Liu Ming smiled and said: "This time, let these rebels see the majesty of the imperial army. Huang Aiqing will lead the infantry to guard the camp, and the other generals will lead the cavalry equipped with bilateral stirrups to follow me out of the camp to meet the enemy."

In fact, in a small-scale battle like this, Liu Ming did not need to be in front of the battle in person, but he wanted to see the bravery of Huang Zhong in his prime, so he went to the battle in person to watch.

At this time, Huang Zhong still didn't know about the emperor's imperial edict. The Huang family in Jingzhou was also a big family in the area, but Huang Zhong's family was in a worse situation, so he was eager to make a career and improve his status in the family.

After Sun Jian stationed in Wancheng, he recruited generals. Huang Zhong volunteered to join the army and played a big sword in front of Sun Jian. When Sun Jian saw that he was a rare good general, he immediately made him a captain.

Sun Jian paid close attention to the movements of the Luoyang court. Compared with Yangzhou, Jingzhou was closest to Luoyang, especially Nanyang County, which was almost next to Sili Xiaowei. If the imperial court sent troops, it would be the first place to attack.

As a result, Sun Jian was even a little uneasy, and he kept sending detective horses and craftsmen to the surrounding areas of Luoyang to inquire about news.

Soon he heard that His Majesty was going to conduct a personal expedition, and Sun Jian couldn't help but become nervous. As the most powerful person in the world, the emperor's personal expedition must be large-scale and massive.

But soon he heard that Emperor Liu Hong only brought 15,000 people, and most of them were Black Mountain bandits who had just surrendered. The only generals he brought were the unknown Lu Bu and Zhang Fei, so Sun Jian put down Heart comes.

He now has about 40,000 people gathered in Wancheng. He feels that if he plans well, he may be able to defeat the emperor in this battle. When the time comes, he will go directly to the capital and become the great Sima. From then on, The world's aristocratic families also have their place in the Sun family. He was actively preparing for war in Wancheng. He heard that the emperor had left the capital, and found out that he had entered Nanyang. But soon he found out that the emperor was in Yaoshan.

what's the situation? Yao Mountain is still far away from Wancheng. As the saying goes, soldiers are valuable and quick. The emperor should attack Wancheng as quickly as possible. The right way is to go to the foot of Yao Mountain without retreating.

The key is that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court did not camp for a rest in the evening, but Dabai camped there. Could it be that the emperor was afraid? No, if you were afraid of the emperor, you wouldn't go on a personal expedition.

I couldn't figure it out for a while, so I invited the generals to discuss it. In order to make meritorious service, the newcomer Huang Zhong volunteered to lead his troops to challenge, and by the way to find out the truth.

Sun Jian thought about it and felt that what Huang Zhong said made sense, but he was still worried about Huang Zhongshi's fighting ability, so he asked his confidant Han to be his general and Huang Zhong to be his deputy, leading three thousand infantry to come to the imperial camp to discuss the battle. .

After hearing the sound of the three drums in the camp, the camp door opened wide. A black general led 300 black horse and black armored cavalry out of the camp, followed by a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a golden helmet and golden armor. , surrounded by warriors, presumably the current emperor.

Later, a large number of cavalry emerged, numbering over a thousand.

Han Dang and Huang Zhong looked at each other, both of them looking unhappy.

The southern soldiers were physically weaker than the northern soldiers. The 3,000 soldiers they brought with them were still soldiers who had just joined the army. Some of them were even picking up manure in the countryside for spring plowing half a month ago, and some still had a good meal. Refugees who haven't had a meal have very little effective training time.

I never expected that the imperial court would send out so many cavalry at once, especially the three hundred black horse cavalry in front. They were so majestic and murderous. Their power was many times stronger than the infantry they brought.

Didn’t it mean that all the emperor brought were the surrendered soldiers of the Black Mountain bandits? Why are there so many cavalry? When you return from this battle, you must report it to your lord and kill the spy who lied about the military situation.

Although I have doubts in my heart, I have come and it will definitely not work without a fight. However, he must focus on fighting generals and try to avoid a melee between soldiers. He was already convinced that his infantry would not be able to defeat the court's cavalry.

Han Dang was about to go into battle when suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves around him. Huang Zhong had already wielded his sword and rode out of the battle. He shouted, "Nanyang Huang Zhong is here, who dares to come and die!"

Liu Ming took a closer look and saw that Huang Zhong was in his forties, with a long beard that was still black at this time. He had a fat horse under his crotch, and in his hand was a gold-backed blood-moon sword with a bright-colored head. Blood.

Huang Zhong walked back and forth in front of the two armies with a majestic manner.

"Hmph, what are you arrogant about? I want you to know how powerful Zhang Yide is from Yan!" Zhang Fei was immediately angered by Huang Zhong's arrogance and immediately rode out of the battle.

When Huang Zhong saw a military commander with a black face, black helmet, black armor, riding a black horse, and carrying a black spear coming out of the opponent's formation, he felt that this attire was really ridiculous. Out of his extreme confidence in his martial arts, he didn't take Zhang Fei to heart. He swung the golden-backed blood-moon sword and slashed it down at Zhang Fei's head, using only 50% of his strength.

Zhang Fei was not careless, he raised the eight-foot-long snake spear and sealed it outwards.

when!
The swords and spears collided, making a deafening sound.

The two horses were in the wrong stirrup, and when the two men circled the horses again, they tacitly agreed not to attack immediately, but each stood still and stared at the other with wide eyes.

At this moment, both of them were very shocked. After just one move, they both knew that they had underestimated their opponent. The opponent was by no means an easy person, and they were afraid that it would be a tough battle.

"Haha, you have some ability, come again!" Zhang Fei roared, urging the Wu Zui horse to rush forward.

Huang Zhong also put away his contempt and went all out, urging his horse forward to fight Zhang Fei with his sword.

This time, both of them used their unique skills, and the fight was inseparable, as if a black cloud and a yellow cloud were entangled together, with dust flying and rolling, and they fought for sixty rounds without deciding the outcome.

Huang Zhong couldn't help but be secretly shocked. He only thought that the emperor was fatuous and the court was incompetent. He didn't expect that there was such a good general. It was a pity that the pearl secretly surrendered.

He could feel that although the opponent was young and energetic, he lacked experience in such a high-intensity battle. As long as the fight continued, this black boy would definitely lose.

Zhang Fei struggled to hold on until the 70th round. He felt that the more he fought, the more difficult and uncomfortable he became. This was the strongest opponent he had ever faced since his debut. He had never fought such a difficult and vicious battle.

They each knew what they were doing, but the onlookers couldn't see it for a moment. They just felt that they were inextricably killed, and it was just that they met their opponents and met their talents.

Han Dang looked up at the sun that was about to set, and felt that he could not continue to waste time like this. He would be in a disadvantageous situation if he played away from home after dark.

So he slapped his horse, rushed out of the formation with a sword, and went straight to Zhang Fei, preparing for a double battle with Zhang Fei and a quick fight.

Gao Shun, who had long wanted to show off in front of the emperor, shook the reins and rushed out with the Wolf Fang Wind Breaking Gun, saying loudly: "Isn't it a hero to fight with a large number and a small number? Gao Mou, let's fight with you!" "

Lu Bu, who originally wanted to fight, had no choice but to loosen the reins and continue to watch the battle.

When Han Dang saw it, he had to adjust his direction to fight Gao Shun. One of them used a knife and the other used a gun. They fought together. When they fought, they found that they were tied again. However, this balance did not last long. After twenty rounds, Han Dang Then he was helpless on the left and right, and he could only parry but had no power to fight back.

"Gao Shun is a talented person!" Lu Bu whispered to Liu Ming.

Han Dangna was also a famous general under Sun Jian, but he was defeated by Gao Shun, which made Liu Ming happy.

But looking at Zhang Fei's side, he was not optimistic. At this time, Zhang Fei was obviously at a disadvantage. He had to shout loudly every time he made a move, relying on this roar to boost his energy, but his movements were obviously much slower. .

"Black Head is going to lose, I'm afraid." Lu Bu said and raised Fang Tian's painted halberd.

Huang Zhong was happy in his heart. It wouldn't take long to kill this black guy under his horse. However, when he took a peek at the fighting situation beside him, he couldn't help but frown - Han Dang was struggling to support himself and was teetering on the edge. He might not be able to kill this guy before he could. Black guy, Han Dang was stabbed to death by his opponent first.

How can this be good?

Huang Zhong raised his eyes and saw the emperor's golden helmet in the enemy formation. He was watching the generals in front of the formation intently. He suddenly had an idea in his mind. He raised his sword and slashed diagonally towards Zhang Fei's shoulder. The sword was so fast that Zhang Fei had no time to stop him. He had to turn his horse sideways to dodge.

Huang Zhong took advantage of the moment when he was avoiding him and slapped the yellow fat horse on the hindquarters. The horse rushed straight towards Liu Ming like a horse. He wanted to take the emperor directly.

To capture the thief, capture the king first. I heard that the emperor’s drinking and debauchery were damaging his body, so he must not have much ability to evade. If he could capture the emperor, then he would become famous all over the world. From now on, who would dare to look down on me, Huang Hansheng?
