Great Han Empire

Chapter 714
Qu Yi rode his horse and rushed up the hillside.

Flags fluttered on the battlefield, drums and horns sounded one after another, and the soldiers of both sides lined up for battle. The atmosphere was very tense.

Three hundred paces ahead of him was Sun Qin and Wang Dang's army of infantry.Three hundred paces behind him was the army of Zhang Ji, Wang Fang and Huang Fuhong.In the depression on the left, Zhao Yun's and Pound's cavalry were in formation.On the hillside on the right, the cavalry of Lu Bu and Jiang Wu were ready to attack.

"My lord, Yuan Shao is setting up a defensive formation. It looks like he doesn't want to take the initiative to attack today." Sima Wu Ye pointed at the enemy in the distance and said loudly, "My lord, should I order an attack immediately?"

Koji narrowed his eyes and looked at the sky.The dazzling sun hung in the air, and the white clouds were blowing with the wind. It was a good time to attack.

"Send Lu Bu to attack the Xiliang army."

=

"Attack the Xiliang army?" Lu Bu looked at the messenger in disbelief, almost suspecting that he had heard it wrong, "Say it again."

"My lord has an order to attack the Xiliang army." The messenger shouted again, then turned his horse's head and flew away.

Lu Bu, Jiang Wu, Liu Ming, Zhang Liao, Mustafa and others looked at each other in disbelief.Qu Yi did not use a large army to attack the enemy's front, but ordered the cavalry to attack the enemy's flank first. What does this mean?The enemy's left flank is Han Sui's Xiliang iron cavalry, which is very powerful, and it is difficult to escape once they get into a melee. At this time, if Yuan Shao commanded [-] infantry to attack the front of the army, the [-] infantry of Sun Qin and Wang Dang would not have the two-winged cavalry. Under the support of him, it is difficult to resist.

Lu Bu hurriedly opened Qu Yi's warrant, scanned it hastily, and suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face, "Quick, everyone returns to the headquarters, and follow me to attack."

The sound of the horn soared into the sky, and the desolate and majestic sound resounded through the flanks of the battlefield.

The war horse neighed and rose into the air.Lu Bu pointed his halberd forward, his eyes widened with anger, and he shouted wildly: "Brothers, raise your weapons and kill..."

"kill……"

For a moment, the sound of killing was loud, and the iron knights raised their weapons and galloped wildly.

The cavalry army rushed down the hillside with the momentum of Jianghe's decision, and roared to kill the enemy.

=

Yuan Shao suddenly looked to the flank of the battlefield.

Countless colorful banners danced wildly in the wind, and the northern Xinjiang cavalry roared all the way, like a hurricane protruding from the ground, roaring forward.

Yuan Shao's face suddenly changed, "Qu Yi is a lunatic, he actually attacked the flank first, this lunatic..."

Tian Feng hurried forward and shouted loudly: "Sir, hurry up, launch a frontal attack, let Yuan Tan, Pan Feng, and Zhu Ling lead their troops to kill each other, hurry up."

Yuan Shao hesitated.

=

This unexpected move by the Northern Xinjiang Army completely disrupted their deployment.

Under the secret planning of Zhongji and others, he, Huangfuhong, Zhang Ji and others planned to cooperate with the outside world to defeat the Northern Xinjiang Army and drive the Northern Xinjiang Army out of Guanzhong.

Zhong Ji and a group of ministers believed in the sincerity of their King Qin, and they sincerely helped themselves to rescue the emperor and successfully occupy Guanzhong, but Zhang Ji, Wang Fang and others didn't think so. I knew what their real thoughts were, so I I intend to make full use of Zhang Ji, Wang Fang and others' rebellion to severely damage the northern border army, and at the same time preserve their strength as much as possible, and take the opportunity to kill Zhang Ji and other rebels.

In order to preserve his strength as much as possible, he gave up taking the initiative to attack the Northern Xinjiang Army, but took a defensive position.The Northern Army came to attack and defended by himself. When the two sides were in a tight fight, Zhang Ji and Wang Fang would attack, and then he could kill two birds with one stone. He could not only defeat the Northern Army, but also kill the rebels.

However, the battle didn't unfold as he expected, Qu Yi slashed his sword and smashed his plan to pieces.Whether the situation on the battlefield can be reversed again depends on the people of Xiliang.

I spent a lot of time and money, hoping to persuade Han Sui to help him attack the northern army.Han Sui agreed, but he still said that the Xiliang Army can send troops to contain the Northern Army on the flanks of the battlefield, but the Xiliang Army is determined not to participate in the battle.Just because the Xiliang army didn't participate in the war didn't mean the Northern Xinjiang army wouldn't fight them.The Xiliang Army and the Beijiang Army had a deep hatred. As long as the Beijiang Army took the initiative to attack them, the Xiliang people would definitely fight back.When it comes to the ever-changing battlefield, how can you be willing or not?If you don't fight, you have to fight.However, Han Sui's ambiguous attitude was always a hidden danger to him.Now, the northern border army is like an omniscient god, coming to kill for their own hidden dangers.

If Han Sui fights and drags the right-wing iron cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army, without the support of the right-wing iron cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army, the defensive force will be greatly weakened. At that time, he can command the army to launch a fierce attack. , It depends on the number of people in the first battle.

If Han Sui refuses to fight, then...

=

"woo woo woo woo……"

The horn of retreat screamed mournfully on the flanks of the battlefield, and then the Xiliang people's battle flags began to move back rapidly.

Yuan Shao was furious, "Han Sui, I'm going to crush you..."

"My lord, hurry, hurry up, order the army to go out, go out immediately..." Tian Feng was furious, his face flushed, and he waved his hands excitedly, "The Northern Xinjiang Iron Cavalry is about to enter the flank, hurry up..."

Yuan Shao didn't hesitate anymore, raised his hand and shouted: "Beat the drum, beat the drum, order all the ministries to rush in."

"Send Ma Teng, the right wing, to follow up and support, to block the northern Xinjiang cavalry, and to cover the infantry army to attack the enemy's main formation."

The sound of drums was like thunder, and the sound of killing shook the sky. The army of infantry quickly changed into formation and moved forward quickly.

Ma Teng's iron cavalry army also sounded the urgent horn sound, and the battle flag was flying in an instant, the horses galloped, and the roar of iron hooves became louder and louder.

=

The Xiliang army was like the sea at low tide, roaring all the way, and went away in an instant.

Lu Bu lay prone on the galloping horse, looking at the backs of the Xiliang army in the distance, secretly horrified in his heart, and a coolness passed behind him involuntarily.Qu Yi had been prepared for a long time. If he obeyed the imperial edict of the emperor, the ones who died would probably not be Jiang Wu, Liu Ming and others, but himself and a group of innocent subordinates.Your Majesty, you have been deceived by a traitor, not only have you harmed yourself, but you have also harmed the big man.

The gust of wind whistling in his ears made Lu Bu almost unable to open his eyes.

Suddenly, there was a burst of intensive drumming from the center of the battlefield.Yuan Shao fought back.

Lu Bu sat up straight suddenly, raised his halberd high, and roared back, "Blow the horn, turn right, turn right, attack the rebels..."

The long and loud sound of the horn pierced through the roar of the iron hooves and shot straight into the sky.

The Beijiang iron cavalry drew a beautiful arc on the battlefield, like a sharp long arrow, aiming at the center of Yuan Jun's flank and nailing it down fiercely.

=

With a roar, Yu Du shook the yellow scarf banner with all his strength.

The big flag danced wildly in the wind, and the bloodstains on the flag were shocking.

Yu Du rode his horse and galloped wildly, his hoarse roar made his blood pumping, "Brothers, swear to kill the enemy... revenge and blood hatred..."

The roar wafted over the battlefield with the wind, instantly arousing the long-suppressed anger and hatred in the hearts of the soldiers, "Kill..."

The [-] infantry that Qu Yi brought to Guanzhong this time were all the entrusted Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army.The Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro fought bloody battles with Yuan Shao in recent years, and forged a deep hatred between them.What Qu Yi wanted was this killing intent, this morale of fighting to the death.

=

The bitter chief stared at the enemy army who was getting closer and closer, and the curse in his mouth became more and more unbearable.

"My lord, they are coming, do you want to shoot?"

"What's the rush? When they get closer, more people will die." Bitter chieftain gritted his teeth, "We didn't have these ballistas in the past, nor did we have so many strong bows and arrows. We couldn't beat them, and countless brothers died. This time, we want an eye for an eye, blood for blood, blood for blood, blood for blood, and a bloody kill..."

The enemy's long arrows roared fiercely.

Kuyi swung his knife down, "Shoot... shoot me..."

"Boom...boom..." Hundreds of ballistas fired at the same time, and the huge sound shook the entire battlefield like a landslide.

"咻咻...咻咻..." Tens of thousands of long arrows roared into the sky.

The strong archers of the Northern Border Army shouted hoarsely, venting their hatred in the air as fast as they could.

The long arrows covered the sky and the sun, and the sky and the earth were instantly darkened, leaving only the thrilling screams on the battlefield.

"Boom..." There was an explosion, the dull sound of arrows plunging into the body and the horrific screams suddenly erupted, and the center of the battlefield seemed to collapse suddenly, and a huge piece fell immediately.

Rivers of blood flowed, corpses scattered everywhere.

=

Qu Yi's expression was stern, his eyes turned from the center of the battlefield to the left wing of the army.

Zhao Yun, Pang De, Wei Jun, Kuang Fengsha, and Nie Xiao's [-] cavalry army mobilized, and the battlefield shook violently under the trampling of iron hooves.

"Tell Mr. Zhao, hit Ma Teng head-on and disperse them. Try to attack the enemy's flank in the shortest possible time. Make sure to hit Yuan Shao hard."

Several messengers agreed, and rushed into the battlefield on horseback.

"My lord, the enemy army is rushing over." Wu Ye pointed to the center of the battlefield and shouted loudly, "Yuan Shao has too many people. He seems to have thrown all 6 people in. He is going to do his best."

Qu Yi sneered, "If he doesn't try his best, our cavalry will rush into his center and cut off his head."

"My lord, there are too many enemies, we can't hold on for too long, otherwise the casualties will be too great to explain to the general." Wu Ye was so anxious that he looked back at the rear of the army and said nervously, "Do you want to order Sun Qin and Wang Dang to take the lead?" With the army gradually retreating to the north?"

Qu Yi shook his head, "People like Wang Heizi and Yu Du are beating themselves crazy now, even if you put a knife on their necks, they won't take a step back."

"My lord, there are too many casualties, this battle is not worth fighting." Wu Ye shouted anxiously.

"Don't worry, Yuan Shao will soon be unable to hold on anymore." Qu Yi reached out and tapped him on the back with a whip, "Wait a little longer."

=

The iron cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army rushed into the two wings of the enemy army, slashing and killing wantonly.Ma Teng commanded the army to fight hard, but because of insufficient troops, he was killed by Zhao Yun and Pang De and retreated step by step.

The Kwantung soldiers and Jingzhou soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

Yuan Shao couldn't bear to look any longer, and lowered his head in pain, "Hurry up, put on the big banner of the Son of Heaven, please Zhang Ji, Wang Fang and others immediately attack Qu Yi's central army, hurry up."

Tian Feng looked up at the sky, hesitant to speak.It was afternoon, and there was at least one hour before dusk.If they fought early, the Northern Border Army could take advantage of the iron cavalry and retreat slowly while the sky was still bright. In this way, the possibility of defeating the Northern Border Army by taking advantage of the darkness would be gone.

Tian Feng didn't dare to say this, but Guo Tu couldn't wait to say it.Yuan Shao was furious, pointing at the battlefield and roaring loudly: "At dusk, it's not the Northern Army that loses, but us, it's us. Han Sui is a traitor, double-faced, he betrayed us and made us miserable We have already lost this battle from the moment the drums sounded. Whether we can defeat the Northern Frontier Army now depends on whether those rebels like Zhang Ji dare to turn against us at this time. If they are like Han Just like that, if we change our minds before the battle, we will be finished, completely finished."

=

Zhang Ji turned over and was about to get on his horse, Huangfu Hong hurried forward and grabbed him, "It's not dusk yet, wait a little longer."

"Wait any longer, Yuan Shao will be defeated, and the chance will be gone." Zhang Ji stomped his feet anxiously, "Jian Shou, we can't wait any longer."

"Yuan Shao and Kuaiyue's army combined totaled 6 people, and Ma Teng's [-] cavalry. How could Yuan Shao defeat it? At most, it would be nothing more than a loss of soldiers and generals, and this is exactly what we need. Yuan Shao has great vitality Injured, the northern army is full of scars, at this time we can first unite with Yuan Shao to drive Qu Yi away, and then unite with Kuai Yue to drive Yuan Shao away, the rest will be very simple." Huangfuhong said leisurely He laughed and said, "Didn't Qu Yi just scold you a few words? It doesn't matter. He was defeated and fled back to northern Xinjiang in a panic. Even if the general didn't kill him, he wouldn't use him anymore. This arrogant The boy is finished."

"Jian Shou, Han Sui suddenly ran away. The situation on the battlefield has changed. I think it's better to be more cautious. Take advantage of Qu Yi and Yuan Shaode's hard-to-break fight, let's do it as soon as possible, so as not to miss the opportunity, fall short, and be defeated instead." Qu Yi ate it in one bite." Wang Fang looked at the Beijiang cavalry galloping back and forth on the battlefield, and said with lingering fear, "The Beijiang army is too powerful, we can't deal with it."

Huangfu Hong shook his head resolutely, "No, we have to wait until dusk. At dusk, Lu Bu will make a move. If Lu Bu makes a move, the northern Xinjiang cavalry will be in chaos. Once the northern Xinjiang cavalry is in chaos, our chance will come." He pointed The cavalry army on the battlefield said, "Look carefully, if the cavalry in Northern Xinjiang is not in chaos, Qu Yi can withdraw his troops calmly."

Zhang Ji and Wang Fang had no choice but to accompany Huangfu Hong to watch the sun set patiently.

=

Yuan Shao watched helplessly for a long time, but the central banner of the Northern Frontier Army remained motionless.

"Let's withdraw, we can't fight any more." Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "These rebels don't have a single good person, let them die."

"My lord, you must not." Tian Feng, Shen Pei, and Guo Tu were shocked, and they almost shouted in unison.Withdrawing troops at this time is tantamount to seeking death.

The three tried their best to dissuade Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao was at a loss as to what to do.

At this moment, the scouts rushed over, "My lord, the Xiliang people killed us behind."

Yuan Shao's eyes darkened, and he almost fell off his horse.
