Chapter [256] Start The War! Yuan Shao's Backhand
When Lu Bu came from the rear with cavalry, he found that there was only one square formation in front of him, and Yuan Jun and Cao Jun merged together.
"Hehe, I was fighting life and death before, and now I can quickly form an alliance. They are all heroes who can afford to let go." Lu couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
The situation that Lu Bu is most willing to see is naturally Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fighting each other, and he leads the army to come here to take advantage of it.
Unfortunately, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are not good people, and they formed an alliance directly in front of the battle.
However, Yuan and Cao formed an alliance, and Lu Bu was still worthwhile. The strength of the two families was at least 80,000.
And Lu Bu not only has 100,000 infantry, but also 20,000 elite cavalry, so he has a great advantage in this battle.
"When the infantry engages the enemy head-on, the cavalry is divided into two groups, each with 10,000 troops, piercing through the left and right flanks of the enemy to cut the opponent's formation." Lu Bu began to arrange tactics.
The advantage is too great, this kind of battle Lu Bu knows how to fight with his eyes closed.
The extra 20,000 infantry is actually nothing. The 100,000 Qin Army infantry has no advantage over the 80,000 Yuan-Cao Allied Army.
But with 20,000 more cavalry, this advantage is too great.
Taking advantage of the fact that the opponent was fighting with the infantry of the Qin Army, 20,000 cavalry pierced through the left and right wings of Yuan Cao's coalition army, and could quickly tear up the formation of the coalition army, thus defeating the coalition army. cavalry approach.
On the frontal battlefield, Sima Yi slowly advanced with one hundred thousand Qin troops. At this moment, Sima Yi's palms were covered with sweat.
At this moment, Sima Yi is not an old thief Sima, but a young man who is just a fledgling and lucky enough to be favored by King Qin.
This is Sima Yi's first time on the battlefield, and he was directly appointed to command an army of 100,000. It is a lie that Sima Yi is not nervous.
When the Qin army and the coalition army were still two hundred paces away, Sima Yi found that the army had stopped suddenly. He couldn't help but wondered in his heart, and immediately asked, "Why didn't you stop? The king is still waiting for us to attack."
"Don't worry about joining the army. You don't know much about the tactics of the Qin army. You will understand later." The lieutenant general beside him explained.
Then Sima Yi saw Qin Jun lying on the ground, which made him even more confused.
Sima Yi was confused, Cao Cao's scalp was numb when he saw this, and he hurriedly said: "Quick! The army presses up! The opponent's bow and crossbow can shoot at a distance of two hundred paces!"
"What?!" Yuan Shao immediately became impatient, "Why didn't you say it earlier?!"
"Stop talking nonsense, give an order!"
It's not that Cao Cao didn't want to say it earlier, but that he had never been in contact with Qin Jun's crossbows before. Only Cao Hong and Cao Chun had experienced it in Cao Ying.
Cao Cao only remembered this when he saw the other party lying on the ground.
"wind!!!"
Sima Yi was so shaken that his eardrums hurt, and then he saw Qin Jun lying on the ground, shooting crossbow arrows with his feet towards the phalanx of the coalition forces on the opposite side.
"A range of 200 paces?!" Sima Yi opened his mouth in surprise when he saw that the rain of arrows landed accurately in the coalition phalanx.
"That's right. There are still many new weapons in the army. After joining the army, we need to learn more about them so that we can better command the army." The deputy general said.
"Indeed, it seems that it is really out of date to command the soldiers of Great Qin in the way described in the book of war." Sima Yi couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"wind!!!"
"wind!!!"
Just like the slogan of the soldiers of the Qin army, countless arrows continued to attack the coalition forces like a violent storm.
And the coalition army is like a person walking against the wind, bearing the rain of arrows and quickly approaching the Qin army.
"Damn it! When did the Qin army have such powerful weapons?" Yuan Shao couldn't help cursing.
"The last time the Allied Forces of the Four Routes attacked Lu Bu, Brother Ben Chu got the advantage of Bingzhou, so he didn't fight against Qin Army, so he didn't know the situation." Cao Cao couldn't help but mocked.
After three waves of arrow rain, the coalition forces finally approached the Qin army, and began to fight back at the Qin army's position while closing the distance.
Regardless of whether it is Yuan Jun or Cao Jun, the rest of the two armies are elite soldiers with considerable combat power, and they were not defeated by the three waves of arrows from the Qin Army.
But no matter how elite soldiers are, they are still flesh and blood, and they will still die if they are hit by an arrow.
The 100,000 Qin army fired in three salvos, and the coalition forces on the opposite side lost at least 30,000 people. This is the number of people who were directly shot to death on the spot, and countless people were injured by the arrows.
"Damn it, there are less than 50,000 people left, how can we fight?!" Cao Cao was shocked and angry.
Fifty thousand against one hundred thousand, with 20,000 cavalry behind, this kind of battle made Cao Cao see no hope. If this situation continues, the coalition forces will undoubtedly lose, and there is no possibility of a comeback.
"What are you panicking about?" Yuan Shao on the side was extremely calm, and said, "Hold on, I still have a backup."
Cao Cao was startled when he heard this, but at this moment he didn't have time to think about Yuan Shao's back-up, the two armies had already contacted, "The most important thing at the moment is to block the enemy in front of you first.
"boom!!!"
The Qin army and the coalition army collided fiercely, and the spearmen in the front row of the two armies directly clashed together, and then were pushed forward continuously by the comrades behind them, and finally squeezed together and turned into flesh.
In the rear, Lu Bu saw that the two armies collided with each other, and immediately ordered the cavalry to outflank.
The military order came to his lips, but Lu Bu suddenly stopped and changed it to a Chinese quintessence: "Fuck!"
0...asking for flowers...0
The northern horizon was full of smoke and dust, and Lu Bu, who had been marching and fighting for many years, immediately judged that a large number of cavalry was rushing towards this side.
With both feet on the stirrups, Lu Bu stood up directly, using his super vision to look into the distance.
I saw a large number of cavalry appearing in sight, almost as many as my side, with a very clear goal, heading towards the rear of the Qin army.
In the current situation on the field, the infantry of the Qin army and the infantry of the coalition army were fighting together in the field.
And a group of cavalry that Lu Bu suddenly appeared behind the infantry of the coalition army was behind the Qin army.
"Where did the cavalry come from?" Cao Cao said in surprise, "Is this your rear?"
"Otherwise?" Yuan Shao asked back, "It's not just these cavalry."
Cao Cao couldn't help but look complicated when he heard the words. He didn't expect Yuan Shao to have so many descendants, and he felt very lucky.
Fortunately, Lu was not in Hebei, otherwise, after he chased him, he would have to suffer hatred against Yuan Shao's followers.
The sudden reinforcements came from Yecheng, Yuan Shao's hometown.
Yuan Shao knew in advance that Lu Bu was in Hebei, and the first thing he did after crossing the river was to inform Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi who were in Yecheng.
Originally the third son Yuan Shang was in charge of Yecheng, but when Yuan Shao was in the Central Plains, he received a military report saying that the Qin army was active in Hanoi County. Yuan Shao knew that Lu did not want to attack Hebei, so he quickly transferred back his second son Yuan Xi who was in Youzhou .
Youzhou is located at the northernmost point, and it needs to guard against Wuhuan's raids in the south, so there is a cavalry guarding it all year round.
Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi who were in Yecheng, after receiving Yuan Shao's order, they led their own troops to rescue.
Yuan Xi led the cavalry, they were faster and came to the battlefield soon.
"Attack!" Lu Bu Fangtian pointed his halberd at the cavalry in the distance, "Stop all the opponents and destroy them one by one!"
Gale!!!”
The 20,000 cavalrymen of the Qin army immediately began to charge, rushing towards the cavalry attacking from a distance. Lu Bu took the lead and rushed to the front line of the cavalry.
Although the number of cavalry on the opposite side was equal to his own, Lu Bu was not afraid at all.
There is no general in Hebei, but Lu Bu personally led the army to charge, and when the strength of the troops was equal, the cavalry confronted the front, and no one in the world was Lu Bu's opponent.
However, in the process of charging, Lu Bu discovered something new. Behind this cavalry, there was also an army of infantry, also quickly heading towards the battlefield.
This large army was exactly Yuan Shao's army staying in Yecheng, commanded by his third son Yuan Shang, and the opponent's strength was not small, so the advantage of the Qin army was once again narrowed. .
