Wushuang Wudi of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 67 The First Battle of Xinping
Outside Xinping County, Lu Bu's army camp.

"Since Ma Teng and Han Sui's allied forces have come, let's fight! Our army currently has about 38000 people. Although the number is small, they are all elites who are good at fighting! Everyone, follow orders!" Zhang Liao, the general of the five senses He ordered that he already has the style of a general who has a good grasp of the overall situation.

"No!" The rest of the people followed orders regardless of what they were thinking, whether they were willing or not.

"Captain Cavalry Cao Xing, you have 5000 troops in your command, which are arrayed on the left flank. Our army currently lacks cavalry, and will be very passive in the face of the Xiliang cavalry's charge. Let it be used by you, set up an ambush, and kill at the critical moment!" Zhang Liao said.

"Promise!" Cao Xing said with satisfaction. With the elites who are proficient in foot combat—the ones who are trapped in the camp, I feel more at ease.

"Let the Xiongnu Zhonglang general Cheng Lian, you command 5000 troops and line them up on the right flank. Similarly, take 1000 spearmen and 1000 spearmen from the direct troops of Wenhou and hand them over to you! The spearmen can be arrayed on the side , the spearmen can lie in ambush and attack when they are waiting!" Zhang Liao continued.

"No!" Cheng Lian happily agreed.

"Xu Rong, Lieutenant of Chengmen, Li Su, Li Su of Tunqi, and Hu Zhen, Lieutenant of Yueqi, you form an inverted 'pin' shape and line up in the middle! Ambushing on both sides behind you are all the current archers of our army! A total of 2500 people! Once the fighter plane arrives, or if you are unable to hold on, you can send a signal. At that time, ten thousand arrows will be fired to kill and injure the opponent!" Zhang Liao arranged again.

"No!" The three looked at each other and said one after another.

"I have about 10000 other soldiers and horses from the five-featured Zhonglang, and they are behind the formation! Wait for the opportunity!" Zhang Liao finally said, "Go out and set up the formation! Behind our army is Xinping County. The situation is in the middle! Everyone, work hard!"

"No! Work hard!" everyone said.

Zhang Liao adopted a relatively conventional formation and tactics.The main force in the center line, supplemented by two wings, is a relatively conservative, but also relatively stable battle formation with good defense.Under the weak quantity, it is a relatively safe way to play.However, it seems conservative, but there are surprises, and targeted preparations and ambushes have been made on the three fronts.

Besides, Ma Teng and Han Sui joined forces.

There were only a few thousand people, and Guo Fan, who was not their confidant or direct descendant, was naturally treated as cannon fodder by Ma Teng and Han Sui.Just about to use Guo Fan's troops to test out Lu Bu's army's style of play and its combat strength!
The two were cunning and cunning, and they smiled sinisterly at the same time.

"Damn! These two old foxes! However, I, Guo Fan, am not to be slaughtered!" Guo Fan had to obey the order, but he also had his own little Jiujiu in his heart.He dispatched about 4000 men and horses to form a relatively conservative and stable phalanx to press up.However, his 2000 cavalry were not arranged on the two wings, but hid behind the front line. It seemed that they didn't want to attack, but they seemed to be fleeing at any time.

Ma Teng and the others frowned when they saw it. What is this guy doing!
Thousands of people scattered on the ground, bringing blossoming embellishments to this desolate place in the northwest. They lined up in more than a dozen rows, with a width of nearly one mile.There are more than 200 people on the first front.Guo Fanjun's soldiers attacked like this.

"Hmph! The defeated generals dare to come forward! Meet the enemy!" Lu Bujun's troops on the front line are Xu Rong and Li Su's troops. Compared with Guo Fan, they have the upper hand in numbers and morale. Ready to fight.If the opponent is only Guo Fan, they only need to attack boldly, and the longer front width will make the opponent be surrounded and besieged by the flanks.

However, the opponent still has 7 horses from Ma Teng and Han Sui who are hiding behind and watching covetously.

Xu Rong and Li Su didn't dare to be careless, held their breath, stood firm on the front line, and started a face-to-face fight with the invading enemy.The two army formations, like two neatly arranged piles of copper coins, collided with each other, making the sound of clanging and colliding, which was the fighting of weapons.

As the strength of both sides increased, the two phalanxes gradually moved forward, and the neat formation began to scatter, and the enemy and ourselves intertwined with each other. The soldiers on the first and second lines had an illusion.A member of the advance felt that he was surrounded by friendly troops and a big victory was imminent, so he continued to fight and advance.The one who was knocked back felt that he was surrounded by enemies and the situation was unfavorable, so he began to move closer.

Because at this time, the entire battlefield has been divided into dozens or hundreds of small battlefields.

Ordinary pawns trapped in the middle of the battlefield are surrounded by people. It is difficult for him to see the general situation of the entire battlefield, and he can just fight.But in the rear, this is not the case for the commanders. The more stalemate the battle situation is, the more the commander's vision and experience are needed.

"Kill!" The well-trained Lu Bu soldiers, their ability to maintain the front line, their tacit cooperation, and their morale are obviously better than Guo Fan's defeated generals.However, Guo Fan's men have always been in a state of looting and killing, they are more vicious and tyrannical.

The two sides fought evenly for a while, with more than a hundred casualties from each other.

"Look, Lu Bu's army is nothing more than that! It's no different from Guo Fan's remnants and defeated generals! It seems that Chang'an City is going to have a new master!" Ma Teng watched the chaotic battlefield in front of him from a distance, proudly said.

"Haha! That's great!" Han Sui laughed.

"I have the brave general Pang De! Send him out to attack the right flank of Lu Bu's army. In this way, they, who can't look at each other from head to tail, will definitely lose. Victory is easy!" Ma Teng said, and began to prepare for continued tentative attacks.

"Haha! Good! I have a strong general named Yan Xing, so I will send him to attack the left wing of Lu Bu's army! You can't take all the credit for this!" Han Sui said not to be outdone.

At this time, the relationship between the two is still good, far from the moment when they turned their faces and refused to recognize anyone later.

"Dong dong!" The battle drum sounded, and the densely packed Ma Teng and Han Sui allied forces, and the huge battle formation started to move again.The black shadow battle formation, one on the left and one on the right, separated into two small pieces, moving towards Lu Bu's army.The targets are the flanks led by Cao and Cheng Lian respectively.

Pang De, a general on horseback, led his [-] Xiliang cavalry and [-] infantry, and killed them.Cheng Lian quickly ordered the soldiers to be vigilant.Just when his battle formation trembled slightly and he started to act.Pang De suddenly led two thousand Xiliang cavalry, abandoned the infantry, and rushed towards them, much faster than Cheng Lian expected.

"Ah!" Cheng Lian was startled, the enemy came to the edge of their formation!A thousand spearmen quickly held their spears, raised them together, and stabbed their opponents from afar. "Hmph! Do you dare to come? Dare to charge towards the pikemen?" Cheng Lian thought proudly.

Pound's face on the opposite side changed, and Lu Bujun was really prepared!He didn't act rashly, he looked around the battlefield, looking for a fighter, and the two sides were about to explode!
