Great Han Empire

Chapter 872 The Heroes of Troubled Times Compete in the Central Plains
"Northern Xinjiang cavalry..." Xin Ping's terrified scream went straight into Kuai Yue's ears, "We were fooled, we were fooled, and the Northern Xinjiang cavalry did not leave. They are all here, all here."

"Beating the drum... beating the drum..." Kuai Yue suddenly turned his head, his eyes widened and he roared at the messengers behind him, "Order all the ministries, fight to the death, fight to the death."

"Order Xia Houyuan and Wenpin to immediately stop attacking the Pingyang Pavilion and shrink their defenses. Quick, quick..."

The sound of drums soared into the sky, shaking the sky.

All the units of the coalition army were in a panic, and everyone was panicked, watching the billowing smoke and dust sweeping from the western sky very nervously.

The Yanzhou Army and Jingzhou Army who were leading their troops to attack Pingyang Pavilion quickly withdrew from the battlefield and retreated to the chariot formation as quickly as possible.

Qu Yi, Lu Bu, and Yan Liang each led their armies, advancing quickly from the east and north of Pingyang Pavilion, directly killing the coalition chariot formation, intending to tear apart the enemy's defense line.The two sides fought fiercely again, and the fighting became more and more fierce.

An army of infantry rushed out of the horizon first, and rushed all the way to the battlefield.

"That seems to be a deserter, our deserter." Xia Houyuan, who had just rushed to the center, pointed his finger in front of him, with an expression of extreme horror, "The army in the middle is probably wiped out."

Kuai Yue, Xin Ping, Guan Yu and others were cold all over, with despair in their eyes.If Yuan Shao's central army is completely wiped out, then the 6 vanguard army will be surrounded by 10,000+ cavalry troops in northern Xinjiang, without any hope of escape.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Xin Ping said in a trembling voice, "There are more than 4 people in the middle army. Even if the northern Xinjiang cavalry surrounds them, they can hold on until dusk. Brother Jing Sheng's army is behind, The northern army has no time to wipe out the army in the middle."

"That is indeed a deserter." Guan Yu frowned with thick brows, and lamented in a low voice, "We are surrounded."

Before Guan Yu finished speaking, his horse suddenly raised its front hooves and neighed repeatedly after sitting down, and then the others' mounts also became restless and hissed incessantly.

The ground began to shake, and the long sound of horns came from the distant sky with the wind, and the roar of thousands of galloping horses pierced through the thick dust and fog and rushed straight into the sky. The bloody murderous aura rushed towards the face like a roaring hurricane, making everyone shudder .

"They're coming, they're coming..." Liu Pan's face changed suddenly, and he screamed in horror, "Oh my God, so many cavalry, where did they come from? Why don't we know anything about it?"

The northern Xinjiang cavalry rushed out of the smoke and dust that covered the sky. Like a huge and terrifying army of ghosts, they suddenly tore apart the sky and the earth, roaring out from the boundless huge crack, with majestic momentum.

Shocked by the astonishing aura of the iron cavalry army, Kuai Yue and the others turned pale. They rode their horses back, trembling involuntarily, and the breath of death enveloped the entire battlefield.

"What should we do? What should we do?" Xin Ping yelled, "What should we do?"

"Hold on, stick to the battle formation." Kuai Yue raised his hands and shouted wildly, "My lords, go back to the battle formation and swear to the death."

"We don't have enough food, grass, and supplies. How can we hold on? How long will we hold on?" Xia Houyuan waved his horsewhip vigorously, and shouted angrily, "Break out, break out immediately, take advantage of the time when the northern border army has not completely surrounded us, break out immediately , rushed out one by one."

"Breaking out now is purely suicidal." Kuai Yue turned and stared at Xia Houyuan, "Break out when it's dark, and then break out when it's dark."

"When it gets dark, we won't be able to rush out." Xia Houyuan waved his arms and roared frantically, "10,000+ northern border troops rushed up, how can we defend? If you miss, you can defend, I'm leaving." Xia Houyuan turned the horse's head and whipped it down hard, "Go, go, go..."

"My lord, let's break out, break out immediately." Guan Yu cupped his hands at Kuai Yue, "The iron cavalry is still about two miles away from us, if we rush out now, we can still escape a few people, if we delay a little longer, none of us will be able to escape. "He kicked the horse's belly, beat the horse and galloped away.

"Let's go, let's go, break out..." Xin Ping whipped his whip, turned around and left, "Brother Yidu, don't hesitate, let's break out."

Kuai Yue closed his eyes and sighed in pain.The Central Plains War, which lasted five months, ended in such a disastrous defeat.

"My lord..." Wen Pin yelled sharply, "The battle formation is broken, if you don't leave, you have to leave."

"Let's go, let's break through." Kuai Yue opened his eyes suddenly, raised his head and screamed, "Break out..."

The coalition battle formation suddenly broke down.

Xia Houyuan led the Yanzhou army to abandon all the luggage first, and fled to the southeast like flying.

Then the Xuzhou army followed closely behind, and the soldiers rushed all the way.

The Henan Army and the Jingzhou Army threw off their big strides and rushed towards the northwest.

"The rebels have escaped." Looking at the battlefield ahead, Qu Yi said in disbelief, "Is Kuai Yue crazy? Can he escape like this?"

"It might be a good way to escape." Jia Xu sneered, "The lives of the soldiers don't matter to them, they just need to save their lives."

"My lord, shall we chase?" Wu Ye asked eagerly.

"Part of the rebels fled to the direction of the Pushui River, and some fled to the direction of the Yellow River. They are all dead ends." Qu Yi shook his head, "No matter what, two legs can't run with four legs. Let's leave the pursuit of the enemy to the iron cavalry." He waved his hand at Wu Ye, "Order all the ministries to immediately organize the army and attack Yancheng overnight."

Wu Ye looked at the battlefield with regret, "Why did the rebels escape so quickly? Anyway, they must stick to it until night and fight us."

"What are you fighting for? Your Highness recruited [-] cavalry from the desert to go south, in order to preserve our strength. After fighting all the people, how are we going to fight the next battle?" Qu Yi glared at him, "Hurry up and deliver the order..."

"We have [-] cavalry, are we still afraid that we won't be able to defeat Luoyang?" Wu Ye pouted disdainfully, "Yuan Shao is finished this time."

"Luoyang?" Qu Yi raised his horsewhip and gave him a light slap, "Can you keep your head clear, okay? The desert cavalry will go north and return to the desert after this battle, and we have to rely on ourselves to take all of the Central Plains. Come on, give me Order to go, stop dawdling here."

Wu Ye didn't dare to delay, he beat his horse and flew away.

"Where are we going this time?" Qu Yi turned to look at Jia Xu.

"Fight to Xingyang in the west, and Xuchang in the south." Jia Xu waved his horsewhip and shouted excitedly, "The Central Plains is just around the corner."

Xian Yuyin and Li Su led [-] cavalry to attack the battlefield from the southeast of Pingyang Pavilion. When they saw the coalition army suddenly rushing towards them, they were surprised and happy, and hurriedly commanded the army to fight head-on in the formation of flying geese.

The Yanzhou Army and the Xuzhou Army were in chaos immediately, and the soldiers ran wild and fled in all directions.

Xia Houyuan, Cai Yang, Wang Zhong and others led more than 600 personal guards, and directly rammed into the right wing of the northern Xinjiang cavalry.Now if you want to break out of the encirclement, you have to fight with your life.Almost at the same time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also led a team of light cavalry to aim at the left wing of the northern Xinjiang cavalry and kill them.

The cavalry of 5000 men charged in the form of flying geese, and their wings were very thin.Xia Houyuan and Guan Yu took the opportunity to break out of the siege with hundreds of relatives.

Xian Yuyin and Li Su had no time to care about him at the moment, and led their troops to rush forward in order to break up the enemy's formation, slow down the enemy's escape speed, and allow the follow-up army to cover up and kill them.

In the northwest direction of the battlefield, Xian Yufu and Gongsun Xu led [-] cavalry to gallop wildly, shouting and fighting fiercely.

Li Hong didn't expect that the most powerful vanguard of the rebel army would collapse before he launched a strong attack, which made him ecstatic.

In the past ten years, this is the most relaxed decisive battle I have fought.After more than five months of bloody battles, the Northern Xinjiang Army finally ushered in the long-awaited ending. Tens of thousands of soldiers exchanged their blood and lives for the final victory in the Central Plains War.

The cheers of the northern Xinjiang army were thunderous, and the huge sound waves hit the battlefield one after another, shaking the world.

"Blow the horn, blow the horn..." Li Hong raised his spear, his voice hoarse, "Go up, wipe out the enemy army, wipe out the enemy army..."

The passionate horn sounded straight into the sky, and the thunderous killing sound shocked the whole field. The overwhelming army set off layers of huge waves like a tsunami to kill the battlefield with a force of destruction.

Zhao Yun, Liu Bao, Hu Ding and others led their own armies, roaring towards the northwest.

Yan Wuwei, Lou Lu, Ta Dun and others led the army to the southeast and pursued fiercely.

Ji Ling and He Yi stopped with the fugitives. They were deeply trapped in the battlefield, and there were flying Northern Xinjiang cavalry everywhere in front of them, which was in danger.

"Hurry up, raise the big banner, raise the black panther battle flag." Ji Ling yelled like crazy, lest his army be accidentally killed by cavalry.

Originally, Li Hong ordered them to rush into the rebel vanguard battle formation as fugitives, and then launch an attack, tearing apart the vanguard battle formation and opening a passage for the cavalry army to attack. However, things changed far beyond their As expected, the elite of the [-] coalition army collapsed before they reached the vicinity of the vanguard battle formation.

After losing the attack target, the cavalry army from the rear roared in again. The soldiers were all in danger, and this army might collapse again at any time.If these thousands of people dispersed at once, the Northern Xinjiang Cavalry would kill them all without hesitation.

Ji Ling and He Yi were running around in a hurry.At this moment, Li Hong rushed over with a group of iron cavalry and surrounded them.

"General..." Ji Ling took He Yi and prostrated himself in front of Li Hong, tearfully grateful.

"We have won this battle." Li Hong pulled the two of them up, pointed to the battlefield full of smoke and dust, and said vigorously, "Wherever my Northern Border Cavalry goes, everything is invincible."

=

The sunset is like blood.

Northern Xinjiang cavalry successfully surrounded the fleeing rebels in the southeast and northwest directions of Pingyang Pavilion.

The general quickly ordered that the captives should be surrendered, and no one should be killed.

The rebels had no way to escape and surrendered one after another. Nearly [-] rebel soldiers were escorted back to Pingyang Pavilion.

Darkness is approaching quietly.

Inside the big tent of the Chinese army in Pingyang Pavilion, the lights are bright.

General Li Hong, General of Left Guard Xian Yufu, General of Left Guard Qu Yi, General of Right Zhang Yan, General of Wu Wei Yushi, General of Hu Lie Yan Liang, General of Long Xiang Zhao Yun and more than a dozen generals from northern Xinjiang gathered in the tent to congratulate the great victory .

"Report the victory to Handan immediately, and tell Her Royal Highness, we have won the war in the Central Plains." Li Hongxi smiled and said loudly, "Also, rush to Jinyang, we won the battle, and we can fight immediately Luoyang."

"General, the good news has been sent out." Jia Xu clasped his hands excitedly and said, "Tens of thousands of soldiers from the southern and northern armies have set off and are advancing towards Yancheng overnight."

"Okay, okay..." Li Hong strode up to the map, pointed to Hanoi Jicheng and Huojia on the map, and said, "Urgently tell Sir Peng Lie and Mustafa to launch an attack immediately and rush to Huai Advance along the Chengcheng and Pinggao lines, strive to occupy the entire territory of Hanoi, approach the Yellow River, and approach Luoyang."

"General, the order has been issued." Zhang Yan said with a smile, "In addition, I have urgently told Lord Yan Rou, the general of Zhenbei, to lead his army to the front line of Junyi and Zhongmou immediately, and cut off the rebel army's retreat southward. Chen Liu and Kaifeng."

"Okay, okay..." Li Hong nodded again and again, "Hanoi is going to increase its troops. We must take advantage of the momentum to attack and take down the entire territory of Hanoi as quickly as possible without any delay." He looked at the generals in the tent and pointed at Wen Chou , Wang Dang, Zhang Liao, and Zhang Xiu, "The four lords immediately led their troops northward and joined Peng Lie by crossing the river at Qingshuikou. Remember, the attack must be fierce. Around the end of September and the beginning of October, I must hit Heyang and Chen Bing on the Yellow River. "

The four bowed and took orders.

"General, shall we attack Xuzhou immediately?" Jia Xu twirled his short beard and said with a smile, "The time to attack is very suitable."

"Can the food and supplies be delivered in time?" Li Hong turned to look at Fu Gan.

"We originally intended to attack Xuzhou after the war, so we allocated a batch of food and supplies in advance to Lord Zang Ba in Qingzhou and Lord Chen Gong and Lord Wu Dun in Rencheng." Fu Gan replied, "If their attack goes well, they can hit Pengcheng After that, they should be able to get food supplements on the spot.”

"You mean to say that in the short term, we don't have food, grass, and supplies to allocate to Zang Ba and Chen Gong?"

Fu Gan smiled apologetically and nodded, "Currently, the Hedong battlefield is still fighting, and the Hanoi battlefield is about to start in full swing. It is estimated that the Henan battlefield will take at least the end of this month to stabilize the front line, so..."

Li Hong frowned and turned to look at Zhang Yan.

"Tell Zang Ba and Chen Gong that the battlefield in Xuzhou is too far away from the Central Plains, and the transportation of grain and grass is difficult. Please see the opportunity." Zhang Yan said, "If you can take Xuzhou, you can take it, and if you can't take it, you can give up. Our short-term goals are Luoyang and Guanzhong. , it is impossible to invest too much troops and money in the Xuzhou battlefield."

"Convey according to Feiyan's order." Without hesitation, Li Hong waved to Fu Gan and said, "Also, move the General's Xingyuan to Dingtao immediately."

Except for Xian Yufu, all the generals were stunned.

"General, are you not going back to Jinyang?" Jia Xu asked in surprise.

"The capital of the big man is Luoyang, not Jinyang." Li Hong looked at the generals and said firmly, "Defeat Luoyang, and we will return to the capital with the emperor."
