Chapter 486: Soldiers Arrive at Huainan
"The general has an order to attack from the left and right wings!"
Two order knights galloped out, each holding a command flag, rushed to the Yuzhou Army on the left and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry Army on the right.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, hurry up and fight, or Zhang Xunjun will be killed by Liangzhou soldiers." Zhang Fei repeatedly urged.
"Okay." Liu Bei held a double-strand sword: "Since the general has given the order, of course our army will make a move. Second and third brothers, let us lead the army to fight."
On the other hand, Ma Chao on the right wing couldn't hold back for a long time, and flew out on a flying horse: "Ling Ming, it's time for our Xiliang iron cavalry to show off!"
"Xiliang cavalry, let these pawns see what a Liangzhou horse is!"
As Liu Ye waved the command flag in his hand, the armies on the left and right wings finally moved out, like the left and right blades of a huge pair of scissors, trying to cut Zhang Xunjun off.
"General, the enemy cavalry has attacked, what should we do?" Li Feng asked worriedly.
"Don't worry about the left and right wings." Zhang Xun gritted his teeth: "As long as the whole army can attack the enemy's central army and surround and kill Liu Ye, everything will turn around. Otherwise, even if the enemy's left and right wings are destroyed, the battle will undoubtedly be defeated. "
Li Feng nodded and shouted: "The whole army is attacking forward, don't care about the left and right wings."
More than 30,000 Zhang Xun's troops continued to attack fiercely, while the Xiliang iron cavalry on the right wing had already charged up, and Ma Chao even held a tiger-headed golden gun, leading the horse and looking majestic.
"assault!"
The 10,000 Xiliang iron cavalry rampaged into more than 30,000 Zhang Xun's army. The war horses produced in Liangzhou are all tall and big horses, both in terms of physical strength and impact, far surpassing the pony horses in the south. The ancient Xiliang iron cavalry swarmed into the infantry formation, which was no less than the iron tanks.
"kill!"
"The cavalry is coming, run!"
The Xiliang iron cavalry on horseback grinned, and the saber in his hand lightly slashed across the armor of the soldiers of Zhang Xun without any force, just with the help of the charging force of the horses, the soldiers of Zhang Xun screamed and fell down. on the ground.
In fact, when the ancient knights charged, they could not use force. There were two main reasons. The first reason was naturally the stirrups.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, the prototype of the stirrup had already appeared, but the stirrup in this period was only a single-sided stirrup. The biggest function was to assist the knight to mount the horse, not to assist the charge.
The second reason is related to the first reason. There are no stirrups, so a knight on horseback cannot slash vigorously. Once he uses too much force, he will fall directly from the horseback, so he can only charge with the help of the horse. momentum, but not chopping.
But even so, the impact of ten thousand Xiliang iron cavalry is still unparalleled, like a sharp sword light, passing through more than thirty thousand soldiers of Zhang Xun in an instant, cutting off Zhang Xun's army at the waist.
"Assault left and right to drive away the enemy!"
Ma Chao and Pound divided the 10,000 Xiliang iron cavalry into two halves, and then each led five thousand iron cavalry to charge around Zhang Xun's army. Zhang Xun's soldiers had already experienced the sharpness of Xiliang iron cavalry a few days ago. At this moment, the memories in my heart were staged again, and I was on the verge of collapse.
At this time, a loud roar on the battlefield was like thunder on the ground, and it exploded instantly: "Zhang Yide, the Yan man, is here, who dares to stop me?"
The 100,000 troops on the battlefield roared and screamed, and the swords of the soldiers intersected with metal and iron, but Zhang Fei's loud shout sounded like a roar of a tiger and a dragon's chant, suppressing all the voices, and the soldiers on the right wing of Zhang Xun's army felt a dull pain in their eardrums , could not help but look intently.
I saw 10,000 Yuzhou troops suddenly coming to kill them. The leader was a general with a black face and black armor. In his hand, an eight-foot-long snake spear danced like the wind. With a sudden sweep, it was a huge fan. was swept away.
Guan Yu was also unwilling to be lonely, and the Qinglong knife slashed left and right, the light of the knife flickered. Both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's martial arts skills can be called the enemy of ten thousand people. With Guan Yu and Zhang Fei personally leading troops into the formation, the Yuzhou army was immediately invincible and rushed in.
Zhang Xun's army stormed Liu Ye's middle army, which was at the end of their battle, but now they were attacked by Xiliang iron cavalry and Yuzhou army at the same time, and they fell into a panic.
Pound rode a white horse and led the cavalry deep into the enemy army, quite conspicuous.
"Um?"
Looking around, he could only see a wooden chariot under a large "Zhang" sign, and a general in full body clothes with a solemn expression was sitting on the chariot.
"Could it be Zhang Xun?" Pound's eyes sparkled, he took out the iron tire bow from behind without saying a word, and pinched a spiked arrow from the quiver with his two fingers together.
Pang De drew his bow and set the arrow, and the Spike arrow rested on the bowstring, and slowly pulled it away, aiming at Zhang Xun's heart.
shoot!
Whoosh! The sound of the wind was strong, and the wolf-toothed arrow flew out. Zhang Xun's ears twitched, and with years of experience in the battlefield, he instinctively rushed forward.
Pooh!
"General, the enemy's offensive is too fierce, should our army retreat? Huh? General!"
The disgraced Li Feng, who was in charge of the battle at the front line, had just rushed back and was taken aback. He hurriedly jumped off his horse and stepped forward to help Zhang Xun, but his eyes were wide open.
"General! General?"
"Li Feng" Zhang Xun's face was like gold paper, and his breath was weak. I saw a spiked arrow shot into Zhang Xun's heart very precisely, and the shaft of the arrow trembled slightly. The arrow pierced through the iron armor and penetrated into Zhang Xun's heart, which shows the profound human nature of archery.
Zhang Xun said weakly: "Your Majesty has entrusted you with a large army of 60,000. Now this general is no longer able to survive. It is up to you to decide whether to fight or to surrender."
Zhang Xun almost spat out the last few words, and after finally finishing speaking, he tilted his head and closed his eyes.
"General!"
Li Feng cried a few words, stood up trembling, and looked left and right. It can be seen that Zhang Xun's army has basically collapsed, and the soldiers were hunted down by the enemy everywhere, causing heavy casualties.
"The general is dead, please surrender!"
Tens of thousands of Zhang Xun's troops had no intention of fighting. After hearing the news of Zhang Xun's death, they immediately collapsed. They threw down their weapons and knelt down to beg for surrender.
"I'm waiting for my wish!"
"General." Guo Jia, who was walking with the army, said: "Although our army easily wiped out the main force of Yuan Shu's army, we will still lead the Huainan army and people in the future. We must show kindness and ask the general to allow the enemy to surrender. , and ordered that father and son, brothers, and only sons in the family who have enlisted in the army can all return home, so as to win the hearts of Huainan scholars and people."
Liu Ye nodded: "Well, I ordered to stop the attack and allow the enemy to surrender."
Following Liu Ye's order, the Yuzhou Army and Xiliang Iron Cavalry finally stopped attacking, while Zhang Xunjun heaved a sigh of relief and knelt down to surrender.
