This time, Yuan Shao personally led an army of 100,000 troops to Liyang, and drove over. 100,000 troops, no matter how to hide their tracks, it is impossible to hide, not to mention, after these several battles, Yuan Shao can also see that under the pervasive intelligence system of the imperial court, it is impossible to hide his own troops, and the only advantage now is the time difference, before Guan Yu and Huang Zhong rushed back, they took the advantage of strength to break Liu Xie's garrison in Liyang.
"Lord, the imperial court garrisons in Fanyang and Shaocheng have retreated on all fronts, and it seems that they are afraid of the might of our army."
The mighty Yuan army went all the way south, and where it passed, Shaocheng and Fanyang had become two empty cities, although so, it was still a shot in the arm for Yuan Shao.
In the midst of the praise, only Guo Tu remained vigilant, because he knew very well that taking the two empty cities would not actually have any losses for the imperial court, but the imperial court was moving the battle line closer to Liyang, which was not a good thing for Yuan Shao, which meant that once defeated, the direction of Yuan's army would be continuously extended.
It's not that Tian Feng poured cold water, but this battle, he really wasn't optimistic, but he opened his mouth a few times, but he was disgusted by the sycophancy around him, and he really couldn't find a chance to speak, and when everyone finished speaking, there seemed to be no need to speak again.
After Shaocheng is less than fifty miles away from Liyang, the terrain here has a certain slope, high in the south and low in the north, it is also the tomb chosen by Liu Xie for the 100,000 army, when Yuan Shao's army bypassed Shaocheng and prepared to continue to march to Liyang, Liu Xie personally led the 30,000 army, blocking the path of Yuan's army.
On the top of the small hill, a sentry scout rushed over and came to Liu Xie's side: "Your Majesty, Yuan Jun has already passed through Shaocheng, less than twenty miles away from here. ” "Three Arms Warfare" Liu Xie nodded silently, looked up at the plain in the distance, the place where heaven and earth meet, and a black line has gradually broken away from the place where heaven and earth meet.
At the same time, Yuan Shao also received the news from the scout almost at the same time.
"Lord, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are preparing for war here, they must be prepared, our army is coming from afar, the enemy situation is unknown, and you must not be reckless" Tian Feng looked at Yuan Shao and bowed.
"Hmm."
Yuan Shao nodded silently, turned his head to look at the scout commander and said, "You can know how many people there are on the other side."
"Go back to the lord, look at the formation, it should be 30,000 people."
The scout bowed.
"Ha" was originally a little worried, if there were too many soldiers and horses in the imperial court, these recruits might not be opponents, but when he heard that the other party had 30,000 people, Yuan Shao was completely relieved, the horse whip pointed ahead, and laughed loudly: "Liu Xie'er is too rampant, he just thinks that he has won for a while, and he dares to treat our army as nothing, which is really ridiculous."
"Lord" Tian Feng stepped forward and wanted to persuade again, but when he saw Yuan Shao turn around, his cold gaze fell on Tian Feng, that gaze made people shudder, Tian Feng was slightly stunned, and for a while, he couldn't speak.
Yuan Shao, too eager for a victory, to reverse the situation in front of him is unfavorable to him, he does not believe that he will be like his incompetent brother, 100,000 troops, was beaten by the 30,000 army of the imperial court, now that Liu Xie has taken 30,000 troops out, and he has made it clear that the carriage and horses are ready to be hard bars, how can Yuan Shao have a reason to retreat.
In order to avoid Liu Xie's cavalry raid, one by one the cold spears gradually spread on the horizon, forming a dense forest of death, if Liu Xie dared to charge the battle with the ironclad cavalry again, Yuan Shao would let him know what regret was, during the dormant period, Yuan Shao did not study Liu Xie's troops and how to deal with them, such as the powerful ironclad cavalry and the terrifying crossbow battalion that was strong in terms of rate of fire and accuracy, and even those small stone carts He thought about how to face them, this time, he came prepared, It's okay if Liu Xie refuses to defend the city, but at this moment, Liu Xie's carriage and horses are very suitable, Yuan Shao wants to use this battle to tell the world that he is still the first prince in the world, and no one can shake it.
The icy killing machine, with the footsteps of Yuan Jun, began to permeate, and a suffocating atmosphere had already formed when the two sides were still separated by several miles, and the vast Yuan army swept towards Liu Xie's 30,000 army in a dense formation.
Under the marshal flag of the Chinese army, Liu Xie stood on a high platform, looking down on the whole army, and when he saw Yuan Shao's army gradually approaching, Liu Xie waved the handsome flag in his hand.
Zhao Yun with five thousand light horsemen galloped out from the right flank, straight to the direction of the Yuan army, the distance between the two soldiers and horses is approaching rapidly, when the distance between the two sides has been shortened to a stone's throw away, Zhao Yun suddenly let out a roar, with the cavalry in front of the Yuan army to run through a beautiful arc, in the closest to the Yuan army's front army, the knights on horseback have taken off the curved bow on their backs, and shot at the Yuan army is a wave of cavalry.
"Hmph" Seeing this, Yuan Shao snorted coldly: "Stop the march, the archers release their arrows" As Yuan Shao's order was issued, Yuan Jun's footsteps slowly stopped, and when Zhao Yun was about to lead the cavalry to shoot again, he suddenly heard a desolate horn sounding in the middle of Yuan Jun.
"Buzz" A rain of arrows rose into the air, and before Zhao Yun could reach the best angle of fire, it poured down towards a large open space in front of him, enveloping a distance of nearly fifty zhang in a radius of nearly fifty zhang, and attacking indiscriminately.
After Zhao Yun hurriedly shot an arrow, while galloping on his horse, he pulled the strong bow in his hand and dropped all the arrows that were shot at him, but the cavalry behind him was not so good at reaching out, many people were shot off the horse on the spot, a wave of arrows rained down, and almost everyone was injured by five thousand light horsemen.
"Youchangjin" stood on the high platform, looking at Yuan Jun's reaction, Liu Xie nodded, it is good that a recruit who has not been on the battlefield can do the order and ban, but a recruit is a recruit, and if he has not been on the battlefield, no matter how good the training is, it is useless.
With the wave of Liu Xie's flag, the 30,000 army quickly changed formations, and rows of shield men quickly set up a shield formation in front, and at the same time, a spear was placed on the shield, making a defensive posture.
"Shield Array" Yuan Shao looked at the formation of the imperial army, a cold light flashed in the corner of his eyes, last time, on top of this shield array, he suffered a lot of losses, and now seeing that Liu Xie wanted to repeat his old tricks, he immediately snorted coldly, this time, did he think he would be fooled again "Cloud Hammer Array, Attack" With Yuan Shao's order, a group of cavalry roared and rushed out towards the imperial court's military formation, but this cavalry, not cavalry, nor cavalry, every two cavalry pulled a rope in the middle, behind the rope, pulling a two-zhang long mace, the mace was hollow, the rope shuttled through it, and the huge mace rolled rapidly under the traction of the rope, and the speed became faster and faster.
Seeing this, Liu Xie's eyes were glazed, he didn't expect Yuan Shao to also work the utensils, and waved the command flag and said: "The Divine Crossbow Battalion will attack and kill the knights."
A soldier of the crossbow battalion of the god quickly dispersed, galloping up in the gap between the formation, a knight was constantly shot, but the momentum of the war horse had rushed to the fastest, even if the knight was shot, the rolling giant mace still smashed towards the shield hand in the front row by inertia.
"Bang" With a cold roar, many of the sturdy shields were knocked away under the impact of the giant mace, and the soldiers behind them were broken and flew out one by one screaming.
Liu Xie frowned slightly, looking in the direction of Yuan Shao's army, it seems that this time Yuan Shao dared to send troops, not without evidence.
Hundreds of cavalry broke his shield array, which impressed Liu Xie.
Yuan Shao's eyes flashed with excitement, from the start of the war between the two sides to the present, he was almost pressing the imperial army to fight, the imperial court's previous reliance on Yuan Shao was broken one by one, and now, only the ironclad elite cavalry has not appeared, but it is difficult to reverse the situation of the war.
There seemed to be a flame burning in his chest, constantly stimulating Yuan Shao's ambition, looking at the tattered formation of the imperial army, Yuan Shao really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh at this time to express his emotions.
The shield array was broken, Yuan Shao naturally would not let go of this opportunity, seeing that Liu Xie's shield array was broken, Yuan Shao immediately made a decision and issued an order for a general attack.
"Kill" What is the effect of the 100,000 army charging at the same time At least in Liu Xie's real career, this is the first time I have seen it, it is really like a stormy wave, and the 30,000 army brought out this time looks a little thin in front of this 100,000 army, but seeing Yuan Shao launch a general attack so recklessly, Liu Xie not only did not have any panic, but the corners of his mouth showed a mocking smile.
Sure enough, although this Yuan Shao has some ability, he is too easy to get carried away, if he fights steadily, he will not be defeated so quickly.
The command flag in his hand waved again, in the face of Yuan Jun's offensive like the sky and the earth were cracking, the imperial court soldiers and horses did not show a panicked look as Yuan Shao imagined, and the soldiers in the front row quickly dragged away the giant mace that stopped in front of the army.
"Lord, why do you want to launch a general offensive with the current momentum of our army, you just need to fight steadily, and it is not difficult to defeat the imperial army" Tian Feng watched the other party methodically clear the obstacles, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and looked at Yuan Shaodao with some anxiety.
"The morale of the enemy has been lost, the shield array has also been broken, it is the weakest time, at this time, it is time to destroy the withering and decaying, one go, completely defeat the enemy army, raise the prestige of our army, how can we follow the attitude of the little daughter, afraid of the head and tail" Yuan Shao even broke the imperial court military formation, his heart was open, and he didn't care about Tian Feng's words, and laughed loudly.
The shield array was broken, but where did Tian Feng, who could see that people's morale had been lost, looked at the formation of the imperial court, shook his head with a wry smile, but at this moment, the arrow was off the string, and it was too late to say anything, so he could only hope that there would be no other means for the Son of Heaven that day. t1706231537:
