Chapter 634 Riding the Sea
Yuan Shao was wearing golden armor and standing on a chariot. He looked high-spirited and seemed to be ten years younger. The sun shines on his golden armor, reflecting a dazzling light. Looking from a distance, one would think it was a heavenly soldier descending from heaven. Although Tadun beside him was riding a horse and was tall and powerful, his appearance was far inferior to that of Yuan Shao.
Seeing the slightly thin lineup of the Liangzhou Army on the opposite side, Yuan Shao couldn't help but feel proud and smiled arrogantly.
"Our troops are numerous and powerful, but the Liangzhou army is so weak. How can they be our enemy?"
"What my lord said is true, but the Liangzhou army has always been fierce and good at fighting, and should not be underestimated." Feng Ji on the side said: "However, as long as we can defeat the enemy in this battle, it will not be difficult to win the world."
"Well, I want to conquer the world, haha." Yuan Shao smiled, then turned to Tadun and said: "Chanyu, how about you lead your army to attack the enemy from the center, and our army covers them from both wings?"
"Yeah" Tadun muttered, looking forward, he could see the formation distribution of the Liangzhou coalition forces, which basically consisted of infantry on the two wings and cavalry in the center. In order to strengthen the protection, the infantry on both sides set up multiple large shields to form a shield wall, and there were also crossbowmen and spearmen who were ready to attack. If there was a forced conflict, I'm afraid the losses would be considerable.
Tadun may not know about the Battle of Jieqiao, but he has heard about the story hundreds of years ago of Li Ling killing tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry with 5,000 infantry.
"Okay!" Tadun agreed: "In that case, I will personally supervise the army and contribute the work of dogs and horses to Duke Yuan."
"Hahaha, if I had the world, you would be the king." Yuan Shao laughed and encouraged.
"Well, here comes someone." Tadun ordered: "Let Wu Yan lead his cavalry to charge directly into the enemy's central army. Su Buyan will take over. If he sees that Wu Yan's headquarters is weak, he will lead his army to press forward. This Shanyu is for You'll wait for the battle."
Among the three counties, Su Puyan is mature and prudent, while Wu Yan has a bad temper and occasionally disobeys Tadun's management. So this time, Wu Yan's strength will be reduced to see if he dares to be disobedient.
"Well, send the order to Yan Liang and Wen Chou." Yuan Shao ordered: "When you see the Wuhuan cavalry launch, immediately send troops to cover up the enemy and attack the enemy in an all-round way."
"promise!"
Wu Huan ordered the soldiers to ride out first. The simple-minded Wu Yan became happy when he heard this order: "Haha, it seems that this success will fall on my head, Wu Yan."
Wu Yan showed off the scimitar in his hand, led the bodyguards to wander in front of the headquarters cavalry, and shouted: "Warriors of Wuhuan! We are invincible. Now Gongsun Zan's white horse Yi Cong is dead, and there is no more in the world. If you can stop our strength, let this group of Han troops see what it means to be a real cavalry!"
"Charge and kill, charge and kill!"
"rush ahead!"
The more than 12,000 Wuhuan cavalry under Wu Yan were all in high spirits. They waved their scimitars in their hands, raised their necks and howled like wolves, which attracted the attention of Yuan Jun.
"kill!"
As Wu Yan dropped the scimitar in his hand, nearly 12,000 Wuhuan cavalry could not restrain their fighting spirit and charged out.
Tap tap tap! Twelve thousand cavalry and nearly 50,000 horse hooves fell heavily on the ground, as if tens of thousands of drummers mustered up their strength and beat the ground hard. There seemed to be a huge heart hidden under the earth. The constant beating of "bang bang" transmits sound and power to the earth.
More than ten thousand horses galloped on the ground, tilting like a stream, as if the embankment was washed away. The vast sea suddenly lost its restraints, broke free of its chains, and poured the roaring waves onto the ground, destroying everything in front of it. All washed away.
"The charge of the Wuhuan cavalry is really no small matter. When will we in Hebei be able to organize a group of such a large-scale cavalry? Then I will lead tens of thousands of cavalry to charge, and then I will be called a man."
Yan Liang looked at the overwhelming Wuhuan cavalry from a distance and couldn't help but sigh. Then he raised his sword and shouted: "The whole army will follow the order and attack immediately."
The more than 10,000 forwards on Yuan Jun's left wing immediately shouted in unison, and then began to attack.
When Wen Chou on the right saw Yan Liang's attack, he gave the same order without saying a word, and the more than 10,000 forwards on the right went out with the same ferocity. Suddenly three large armies rushed forward, with great momentum to overwhelm the Liangzhou Army's formation.
"Not bad." Tadun smiled: "This is the majesty of my great Wuhuan warrior. Wuyan did a good job this time."
Yuan Shao also smiled, pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, and looked across.
"Don't worry, my lord." Guo Tu said at the side: "Our army is so powerful that we are already sure of victory. My lord, just sit high in the court and watch the generals directing the fight."
"Haha, the Yellow Emperor personally came to the front line and commanded Zhuolu to defeat Chi You. Although Yuan's virtue cannot be compared with Xuanyuan's, he can't abandon his soldiers in the battle, right? You should be careful what you say."
Although Yuan Shao seemed to be blaming Guo Tu on the surface, his tone was not serious at all. Instead, he looked like a monarch and his ministers get along well with each other. Guo Tu smiled slightly when he saw this, apologized and backed away.
Gongze is right, he is already sure of victory in this battle. Forgive me, Liu Ye, a child from a humble background, how can he defeat a famous family?
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao couldn't help but straighten his back, wanting to see with his own eyes how embarrassed Liu Ye's Liangzhou army would be when he fled?
However, the scene that happened next made his expression change drastically.
boom!
As the Wuhuan cavalry galloped in, the distance between the two armies became closer and closer. Tens of thousands of Liangzhou troops and Bingzhou cavalry had been in battle for a long time, but their expressions remained normal. And Youzhou Minzhuang, who was specially placed by Liu Ye to be protected by the Chinese army, became distraught.
"Oh my god, so many Wuhuan cavalry?"
"Can we win?"
"It's over, it's over. I really have to go down and see my dad this time."
"Damn it!"
Buzz! The scimitar pointed at the tip of the nose of a Youzhou citizen, startling him.
Gongsun Xu stared at him with a livid face and said coldly: "If you dare to say anything to disturb the morale of the army again, I will kill you now."
"The little ones don't dare, the little ones don't dare!"
Liu Ye turned around and glanced coldly, then glanced at the Wuhuan cavalry that was rushing towards them.
"Send the order!"
The command flag in his hand fell heavily, Liu Ye said with determination: "Change the formation, encircle and kill!"
"The general has an order, change the formation!"
As the order was quickly conveyed to the three armies, the Liangzhou Army's infantry suddenly spread out on both wings, and a shield wall moved forward slightly. For a moment, the Liangzhou Army's formation suddenly turned into a "U" shape with a smaller arc. The army was sunken and the left and right wings protruded forward, faintly outflanking the incoming Wuhuan cavalry.
Nearly ten thousand archers drew their bows and strings, aiming at the Wuhuan cavalry.
