In the sixth year of Guanghe, it was the 15th day of the ninth month, the You hour.

The sun gradually dimmed, and the confrontation between the main force of the Han Army and the main force of the Taishan Army also reached a critical moment, but they were not the factors that determined the success or failure of the battlefield. On the contrary, Ru Ying Huangjin, who had been resting since before the war, became the winner of this battle. Put your hands behind your back.

The Han army's Youzhou assault cavalry will soon arrive on the battlefield. Can these ragtag troops withstand the most elite cavalry regiment of the Han court? The pressure is on Ru Ying Huangjin's side.

When the flying army carried the flag and sent the military orders of Jin Dao and Qu Shuai to Ru Ying Huangjin's tens of thousands of people, the two leading commanders were desperate.

One of them is named He Dali, who is from Yangzhai, Yingchuan, and the other is named Cao Dayong, who is from Xihua, Runan. They are both leading figures in the field who were supported by Zhang Chong.

You want to say that the two of them can fight? That's not true, because the key to his being able to rise to power is to be the first to declare his intention to follow Zhang Chong. But the two of them are not ordinary people. If they don't have force, Zhang Chong will not allow them. superior.

But if you have courage, you still have courage. They still know what kind of enemy they are about to face. On this plain, the role of this assault cavalry regiment is not to say that it is equivalent to that of infantry. Hundreds and ten are also said to be less.

During the Guangwu period, hundreds of thousands of Hebei bronze horse thieves could not withstand the attack of three thousand Youzhou cavalry. How can we, Ru Ying Huangjin, not only withstand it, but also give Qu Shuai two seconds to steal it?

But they also knew that now they could only follow Qu Shuai's instructions, so what if they didn't? The whole army fled, and they were all dead on this vast plain.

So, He Dali gritted his teeth and took the golden sword. He solemnly said to the flying army:

"Qu Shuai must never let down our brother Ru Ying!"

The flag bearer was also stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted, dismounted himself, and said to He Dali:

"He Kui, my Qushuai has never betrayed anyone in his life. After a while, I asked a brother to report back to Qushuai, saying that I, Xiao Chen, have delivered the general order and have fulfilled my duties. Later, Xiao Chen will join brothers Ru Ying. ,Fight to the last moment!”

After saying that, he gave the reins to He Dali, who was stunned by the person named Xiao Chen and said doubtfully:

"Xiao Chen, there's no need at all. We naturally trust Qu Shuai, so it's up to you to repay the favor and not bother the two of us."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen said seriously:

"He Kui, it was me who sent Commander Qu's golden sword and military orders, and you believed my promise. In that case, I, Xiao Chen, cannot betray all of your brothers. However, Xiao Chen is a very unknown person. I have nothing to do with you, I can only use this passion to live and die with you."

After saying that, Xiao Chen bowed deeply to He Dali and Cao Dayong.

He Dali and Cao Dayong stopped talking. If they wanted to, they could say, "Who are you, Xiao Chen?" Did they care about your Xiao Chen's guarantee that they would fight to the death? But they thought again, isn't it because This man is nothing, so why does his behavior appear so fierce? Although his position is humble, his righteousness is extremely low.

He Dali and Cao Da looked at each other and said to Xiao Chen in unison:

"Xiao Chen, today we are here in Xingyang, in this large formation of ten thousand people, and Huang Tianhou Tu is here to witness it. How about you and I becoming sworn brothers in front of the formation?"

Xiao Chen did not hesitate and paid homage to the two of them:

"Brother, please accept my worship!"

He Dali and Cao Dayong were so happy that they asked each other's names and found out that this young Chen was called Chen Cheng.

In this way, He Dali and Cao Dayong gathered their strength and said hello. They mobilized all their troops and moved to the northwest of the battlefield. After arranging the formation there, they took advantage of the time and hurriedly dug fortifications to block the Youzhou sudden attack.

The shock of riding.

Just as Ru Ying Huangjin stepped up his efforts to deploy his troops and dig trenches, a Taishan Army armored soldier also moved over.

This army is Zhang Chong's most trusted army, the two thousand soldiers under the command of Zhonghujun Yujin.

Zhang Chong, who has always been cautious in his work, never puts the life and death of the entire army on one person. In addition to inspiring Ru Ying and the Yellow Turban to die bravely, Yu Jin's army is also Zhang Chong's back-up force, and this back-up force will also be in the army.

He was responsible for the most frontal mission in intercepting Youzhou's sudden cavalry.

In addition to the thousands of halberd warriors, the Yujin Army also has thousands of crossbowmen. Because of the nature of the Central Guard Army, the quality of these warriors is particularly high. In addition to the halberd warriors and crossbow warriors, they also

They are all warriors with swords and swords. They can throw away their halberds, bows and crossbows and pick up their swords and axes to fight again.

In order to have enough troops to dispatch to the northwest, Yu Jin even took the initiative to release the three hundred Youzhou cavalry captured in the previous battle. At that time, several generals said that instead of releasing these cavalry and letting them return to the Han Dynasty,

Army, why not cut them all off now. Even if the others are not as bloody as these few, I suggest cutting off these people's arms or thumbs, which will not only allow these people to live, but also prevent them from going to the battlefield.

However, he refused to take them despite the ban. These three hundred Youzhou Riders were very valuable human resources. No matter whether they killed or humiliated them, there would be no benefit, so he made an oath with these three hundred Youzhou Riders.

Yu Jin stood in front of these prisoners and solemnly promised that he would release everyone. But if the Taishan Army wins this battle, you will come back and become our prisoners. And if our Taishan Army is unfortunately defeated in this battle, then

You will be completely free and can follow everyone wherever they go.

Yu Jin told them that according to the hatred between the two armies, even if you are killed, you should be killed. But now we choose not to kill you because we owe you a life. You have repaid your loyalty to the Han Dynasty with your bravery. Taishan will follow.

The army is victorious, and you also need to use your promises to repay my kindness to you for living.

After saying that, Yu Jin took the lead in cutting off a rope and sent the Youzhou Riders to disperse.

The prisoners looked at everything in disbelief, as if Jin had really cut the rope, they looked at Yu Jin with confusion. One of them stood out from the crowd. He was Liu Bei's companion. After he was captured, he was sent to the prison.

Here we are.

At this time, Qianzhao solemnly addressed the forbidden road:

"General, you are a gentleman. We recognize your promise. If your army wins this battle, we no longer want to be prisoners, but will become your soldiers, General. And if you lose this battle, we will not

We will kill your prisoners, and we will bury your body for you, general, so that the wild dogs will not eat it."

Yu Jin smiled, nodded, said nothing else, and then went out with his entire army of 2,000 fine armors.

When Yu Jinjun arrived, Ru Ying Huangjin had already chosen a position. It was on a gentle slope on the right rear wing of the Han army. There was a long gentle slope along the northwest. Although it didn't shake much, it was still

It can withstand some horse speed.

The ten-thousand-person formation of Ruying Yellow Turban is arranged according to the tradition of the Yellow Turban Army. It is a simple five formations, two in front and three in back, arranged in a line along the gentle slope.

Then there were chariots and horses on both sides, which simply covered the two wings. Because there was not enough time, the horses and chariots were built originally on the carts, and they were simply placed and not hammered into the ground.

Yu Jin looked at the battlefield and the layout of Ru Ying Huangjin, and sighed in his heart, because although the layout of these people was okay, their formation was loose and their armor was low, so they obviously could not directly resist the sudden advance of Youzhou's cavalry from the opposite side.

In view of this, Yu Jin resolutely decided to place more than a thousand Changge soldiers under his command at the front of Ru Ying Yellow Turban to act as a buffer for the entire army. Therefore, the military formation on the northwest slope of the battlefield showed the first one, the second one in the middle, and the third one behind.

A front of sharp arrows.

According to normal circumstances, such a military formation should be an impact formation. However, Yu Jin felt that the combat quality of Ru Ying Huangjin was too low, and he did not dare to counterattack at all, so he could only put them behind and prevent them from facing them directly.

The Han army's tall horses still have such courage.

Yu Jin did not place the remaining one thousand crossbowmen in the formation, but arranged them on Ru Ying Huangjin's position, and then asked Ru Ying Huangjin to insert thick wooden stakes in front of these Taishan Army crossbowmen to guard against them.

Cavalry charge.

The thousand men with halberds in the front line formed a five-row formation. This formation was undoubtedly short and could easily be missed by the Han cavalry wings.

But this was Yu Jin's plan. He wanted to use these soldiers as a huge reef. After withstanding the fiercest impact of the Han army, even if the remaining ones escaped from the two wings, the horse's speed was already weak. In the end, he led Yu Jin

The guards personally guarded this five-line formation to serve as the ballast for the entire army.

When the Ruyingchuan Huangjin hammered the last wooden stake for the friendly crossbowmen, dust rose in the distance in the northwest, the ground shook, and everyone knew that the Youzhou Cavalry finally arrived on the battlefield.

Then the Han army in the circle burst into cheers, but they were soon beaten to the point of crying by the Taishan army.

With tens of thousands of people fighting behind them, Ru Yinghuangjin and Yu Jinbu held their breath and watched the dust, every movement and silence, they were so nervous.

Soon, they saw dozens of cavalrymen carrying apricot-yellow flags constantly fighting with the Han cavalry in crimson military uniforms. From time to time, someone fell off their horse.

He Dali and Cao Dayong in the middle formation looked sadly at the friendly knights being surrounded and killed by the large number of Han knights, and said sadly to Chen Cheng beside them:

"Is that your robe?"

Xiao Chen nodded. His eyes were full of tears now, and he just stared at Pao Ze in front of the battle formation, hoping that they would rush into the formation.

The Feijun flag-bearers in front of the formation showed excellent cavalry and shooting skills, constantly circling around and firing back, but there were really too few of them. Under the leadership of a red-headed general, the Feijun flag-bearers rescued a besieged

The small team then ran straight towards the formation of Ru Ying Huang Jin.

But at this time, an arrow was shot from the Han army's formation and hit a man carrying a flag. The man fell down heavily under the exclamation of the soldiers.

At this time, the red-banded general had already rushed to the front. When he heard the shouts of the brothers behind him, he turned around and looked back and saw this scene. Without even thinking about it, the man turned back on his horse and bent down to pick up the brother. About to evacuate.

Two brave men broke out from the cavalry of the Han army, and they were about to surround and kill the thieves and establish their own military destiny.

The red-headed general was not afraid at all. He hit a string with his right bow and shot a man over. Then he drew his sword and passed by the rider behind him. The man's head flew out.

It wasn't over yet. The general in red robe, who instantly killed two people, picked up the reins and pointed at the general under the banner of Youzhou's sudden cavalry with a blood-stained sword, looking scornfully.

Over there, Zong Yuan, the head coach of the Youzhou Assault Cavalry under the banner, looked at the fierce cavalry commander on the opposite side with an ugly face. It was this man who blocked him for a moment with more than a hundred cavalry, which greatly reduced the effect of the assault.

Zong Yuan led the Youzhou Assault Cavalry to lurk in the dense forest twenty miles away from here in the early morning. In order to achieve the effect of the surprise attack, he ordered the entire army to remain silent. If anyone dared to violate it, the military officials confiscated the armor and cavalry and drove them out of the army. The soldiers pierced the ear and wandered the army. Relying on harsh punishments, they escaped the patrolling sentry horses of the Taishan Army before the war.

Originally, he should have arrived at the battlefield at least two moments in advance, but he was destroyed by the hateful thief general on the opposite side.

However, the clan member resisted the man's provocation. He wanted to observe the military formation in front of him as soon as possible to see how to break through.

In the Youzhou Assault Cavalry, some of the clan members had a bad feeling, but some had a good feeling.

At this time, Gongsun Zan, who was wearing white horse and white armor, looked suave and charming. He looked at the behavior of the red-banded cavalry officer just now and couldn't help but said to Liu Bei beside him:

"A good cavalry commander, able to draw a sword and ride a horse, he is a hero!"

These words made Zhang Fei next to Liu Bei darken his face, but Gongsun Zan smiled and comforted him:

"A Fei is naturally braver than that general."

At this time, Zhang Fei didn't have any words yet, so the army called him A Fei or Yan Bao.

After Liu Bei and Zhang Fei lost their troops after the defeat of the attack, they temporarily stayed with Gongsun Zan, and they were already in a semi-dependent state.

Liu Bei looked at the red-headed generals who were gradually disappearing, sighed, and thought of recruiting them.

Ah Zhao! Where are you at this time? Will you be on this battlefield with me?
