Just when Han Sui was preparing to fight Liu Cheng, Liang Xing and Cheng Yi stationed at Wushaoling were defeated by Ma Teng's army.
Cheng Yi died on the spot, and Liang Xing was unable to support himself, so he had to flee back in panic with three thousand remaining soldiers.
They had captured Jincheng, and Han Sui didn't know all this yet.
If this news came through, I'm afraid Han Sui's army would be disturbed by the news and flee without fighting.
Chen Qun's words seemed to be just a scene before the war, but its effect cannot be ignored.
Although the generals above were intimidated by Han Sui's power and did not dare to rebel, Han Sui could not control the soldiers below.
Their whereabouts and thoughts.
These low-level soldiers followed Han Sui just to make a living.
In the past, they followed Han Sui to rebel against the imperial court.
At that time, it was indeed because the local officials and wealthy families went too far and exploited them too seriously, leaving them with no money.
In order to survive, he had to follow Han Sui On the contrary, over the years, most of Xiliang has been under the control of Han Sui, but Han Sui did more than the local officials and wealthy families did at the time.
This has actually caused dissatisfaction among many soldiers in the army, but Han Sui was so cruel that they dared not speak out in anger.
Now Chen Qun's words made them realize that the current situation was extremely unfavorable to Han Sui.
Continuing to follow Han Sui would definitely be a dead end.
These Xiliang soldiers were not so determined to fight.
Many people fought They made up their mind that as soon as the fighting started, they would wait for the imperial army to rush over, then escape, and then surrender if they were overtaken.
In short, they could not lose their lives in vain, it was really not cost-effective.
Emotions are contagious.
Although this kind of decision-making is not expressed out loud, the colleagues around him can feel it.
They convey this thought to each other with their eyes.
After a quarter of an hour, Liu Cheng raised his hand and waved forward with a cold face: "Forward Army" The front army had four thousand infantry and two thousand cavalry.
Under Liu Cheng's order, they marched forward slowly.
Their neat steps made a huge sound.
Smoke and dust rose under their feet, creating a full momentum.
Han Sui's soldiers in the distance The generals were all frightened by this momentum.
Liu Cheng did not allow the front army to move too far away from other troops.
Too far away was not conducive to mutual coordination and reinforcement.
After the front army advanced two hundred meters, he immediately ordered the left army, right army and center army.
Move forward together, keeping a distance of two hundred meters from the front army, while the rear army stays where it is.
A head-on duel competes on the true strength and the general's ability to arrange troops.
It is fanciful to want to engage in any conspiracy.
After all, in such an open place, even if an ambush is arranged, it will not have much effect.
No one can Will not guard against doing tricks.
Han Sui saw Liu Cheng dispatching 6,000 men first, but among these 6,000 men there were infantry and cavalry, and the main army followed closely behind, which made him feel a little unable to start.
"Damn it, what kind of battle is Liu Cheng fighting?
How could he send cavalry and infantry together like this?"
Han Sui cursed angrily.
Zhang Heng reminded from the side: "Lord, it's better to order a response quickly.
If you don't order a response, it will be too late."
The process from issuing an order to conveying it to the grassroots military leaders and then executing it takes time.
Especially for Han Sui and other motley crews, which do not have a complete organizational and military order communication system.
From issuing an order to executing it in place, it takes a long time.
The time will be longer.
Han Sui frowned and thought for a few seconds before giving the order: "Order two thousand cavalry on each wing to defeat Liu Cheng's front army."
"yes" Half a minute later, a cavalry force rushed out from the left and right wings of Han Sui's army, each with two thousand cavalry.

They rushed towards the left and right wings of the front army sent by Liu Cheng's army respectively.
Liu Cheng narrowed his eyes, thought for two seconds and gave the order: "Order the front army cavalry to come forward and make the enemy cavalry lose their impact speed.
We don't ask them to kill the enemy.
We just want them to lose their speed.
We order the front army infantry to stop advancing temporarily and wait for a while."
The enemy infantry stopped and immediately split into two, and three or three combat units went to strangle the enemy cavalry."
"yes" Liu Cheng's army had a complete and fast military order transmission system.
The order was conveyed and executed.
The four thousand infantry in the center of the front army stopped first, and a thousand cavalry on each wing quickly lined up in a neat and dense formation to attack the army coming from behind.
Han Sui's cavalry rushed diagonally opposite.
If you want to use cavalry to block cavalry, the only way is to form a dense formation, leaving no gaps or very small gaps between the two cavalry.
Even if someone can break through the dense formation, it is very few, and it is impossible to be broken through a large area.
Because there is no space in the middle to move and dodge, the result of a head-on confrontation is that both sides will be injured or one of them will slow down, and in the end the two sides will fight.
Most of Han Sui's cavalry were Qiang.
The Qiang cavalry had good riding skills but poor discipline.
When they rode on horseback and charged, they never formed a neat formation.
They all charged in loose formations.
This is different from the fact that they were light cavalry and had poor discipline. , and related to the enemies faced.
Over the years, the Qiang people have rebelled repeatedly.
Most of the enemies they faced were Han troops.
The Han troops had many infantrymen.
Among them, the crossbow formation was the most lethal.
If the light cavalry were arranged in a dense formation, they would not be able to face the Han army.
A large-scale attack by a hail of bows and crossbows will inevitably cause heavy losses, but if the formation is loose and there are large gaps during the charge, the casualties will be doubled.
Under Liu Cheng's order, the cavalry on the left and right wings of the front army formed a dense formation to attack Han Sui's cavalry.
There were violent collisions, and for a while the cavalry in the front rows of both sides were knocked upside down.
However, because the official cavalry formed a dense and neat formation, they collided as a whole, and the collision force was huge.
However, Han Sui's cavalry collided one by one, and the individual collision force was weak, so they naturally suffered a big loss.
Han Sui's cavalry were knocked off their horses one by one, some were stabbed with spears by the officers and soldiers, and some were hacked to death on the spot.
After this series of collisions, the impact speed of both sides weakened, and soon they all lost speed and stopped.
A melee was inevitable.
The cavalry from both sides began to fight each other, but because Han Sui's cavalry had suffered huge losses just now, their momentum was much weaker than that of the official cavalry, and they were timid in the fight.
At this time, the army infantry began to divide into two in a three-by-three battle formation, and surrounded the melee scene on the left and right sides.
The light cavalry who had lost their speed were really useless and had no combat effectiveness.
They were restrained from the front by the army's cavalry, and were attacked by the army's infantry on both sides and behind.
They were stabbed off their horses one after another.
In just one cup of tea, Han Sui had already lost most of his 4,000 cavalry.
Han Sui was dumbfounded, with cold sweat pouring from his forehead, and he was cursing in his heart, Damn, the battle can still be fought like this.
Han Sui hurriedly asked Cheng Wen, the counselor beside him: "Mr.
Cheng, what should we do now?
If we don't send troops to reinforce, these four thousand cavalry will definitely be eaten clean."
Cheng Wen frowned but said: "But if troops are sent to reinforce, Liu Cheng will definitely send troops, and this battle will become a tactic of adding fuel to the fire.
There is a big difference in the strength of the enemy and our troops.
In terms of combat effectiveness, the officers and soldiers seem to be better, and the troops of Tim If we continue to fight oil tactics until the end, I'm afraid our troops and horses will be exhausted."
"Then how do you want to deal with this situation?"

Cheng Wen really wants to say that your initial troop formation was wrong.
You made a mistake every step of the way.
Liu Cheng sent the front army here just as a tentative attack, and you dispatched almost all the fucking cavalry.
You made a mistake at every step.
How can we fight this battle now that all our cards have been revealed?
Why didn’t you ask my opinion in the beginning?
Cheng Wen was complaining in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud.
He thought for a while and said: "My lord, we lost a lot of momentum at the beginning of this battle.
Now it's too difficult to get back the situation.
It's too hard for the imperial troops to do it."
Stubble, this bone is not easy to chew, my subordinates suggest that you stay away first to avoid its sharp edges.
If you go head-on, you will only suffer losses."
After hearing this, Han Sui became furious and said angrily: "Cheng Wen, it was you who suggested sending troops to fight Liu Cheng, but now you suggest to retreat and avoid his sharp edge.
Did I lose these four thousand cavalry in vain?"
Cheng Wen smiled bitterly and said: "Lord, please calm down.
At this time and at that time, none of us expected the imperial army to be so powerful.
Take a look at the military formation on the opposite side.
Almost half an hour has passed.
The main force of the opponent's army has suppressed the enemy.
Still as motionless as a mountain, the will of those soldiers With firmness and tacit cooperation, we will never be able to fight head-on.
If we wait for these four thousand cavalry to be eaten, we will not be able to leave even if we want to.
Now with these four thousand cavalry blocking the front, we can still retreat calmly and find our way.
Hidden in a secret place, waiting for opportunity.”
"I'm so angry, I'm so angry," Han Sui yelled, and had to bear the pain and ordered: "Order the four thousand cavalry to hold back, and the others to withdraw."
Han Sui's army retreated like a tide, and the soldiers turned around and ran away one by one.
The besieged cavalry could not escape even if they wanted to, so they could only fight hard.
Zhang Xiu cupped his fists at Liu Cheng and said, "My lord, Han Sui's army has retreated.
Now is the time to pursue him."
Liu Cheng looked around, and then at the melee scene in front.
He shook his head: "The terrain here is long and narrow, low in the middle, high on both sides, and the road is uneven.
It is difficult for the cavalry to pursue you from behind.
You lead three thousand light cavalry around."
Go in front of Han Sui and find a place to ambush.
Remember, Han Sui is already a lost dog.
You can only win this battle, not lose.
If you lose, you will raise your head to see him."
"Yes, lord" Zhang Xiu agreed excitedly, then turned around and left.
Liu Cheng looked at Zhang Xiu's leaving figure and smiled.
Previously, when Zhang Xiu belonged to the Xiliang Army General School and was undergoing reorganization and reorganization training, he deliberately antagonized the leading generals and had a very negative attitude.
When Liu Cheng found out, he ordered the Xiliang Army Generals to be locked up.
They were imprisoned for more than two months, and all of them complained and complained.
Finally, they begged for mercy, and Liu Chengcai released them all.
Han Sui took the remaining 16,000 people and fled more than ten miles away.
Zhang Heng asked: "Lord, where are you going back to Jincheng now?"
"If we go back to Jincheng, wouldn't we be trapped to death by Liu Cheng?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
We won't go back to Jincheng for the time being."
Han Sui shook his head.
He thought for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately shouted: "Let's go south, let's go fight Yan."
