Chapter 489 (1/2)
”When the state of Qin attacked Shangdang County in South Korea, the governor presented Shangdang county to the state of Zhao. The state of Qin became angry and indignant and fought against Zhao. This was the tragic battle of Changping.” Xia Hou yuan frowned: ”the strength of our army is not as good as that of Zhao army.”
”That's all right.” Xi Zhicai said with a smile: ”our army expelled the puppet emperor. It's too late for the generals to reward us. How can we send troops to attack?”
”Ha ha ha ha, that's it!” Cao Cao laughed: ”Yuan Shu is emperor, just like a rat in the street. Everyone shouts and fights. What our army does is right.”
At the moment when Cao Cao led his army stationed in Shouchun and confronted Yuan Shu in an emergency, there was an earth shaking battle in Yingchuan county with a military strength of 100000.
”Drum beating!”
Dong Dong Dong Dong!
The sound of the war drum soared to the sky, as if the heart of a giant was beating violently. On the broad plain outside Yingyang City, two armies were in front of each other. Countless banners and banners were flying fiercely in the wind, and the atmosphere of war was imminent.
The two armies were against each other. Naturally, one of the weak forces was Zhang Xun's headquarters. After the loss of the siege a few days ago, and the two times of assault by Ma Chao, the 60000 army was nearly half depleted, leaving only 34000 men. However, even so, it still seemed to be very powerful and oppressive.
On the other hand, the two Liu allied forces opposite Zhang Xun Jun were even more powerful. Their military strength was nearly 60000, which was twice that of Zhang Xun's army. Moreover, the banner was strict and well-trained.
Liu Ye is in charge of the central army himself. He sits on the chariot with dignity and a wisp of whiskers under his jaw. Among the two wings of the central army, Liu Guanzhang led 10000 left-wing soldiers. It was the Danyang soldiers under the command of the three brothers and the newly trained Yuzhou soldiers. Although they could not be compared with the elite Liangzhou soldiers in terms of equipment, they could also be regarded as military dignity after the training of the second general of Guan and Zhang.
On the right wing of the army, there are ten thousand Xiliang cavalry! The leading generals are Ma Chao and pound, who are good at cavalry operations.
Tens of thousands of horses stood in the wind. The front row horses snorted impatiently and gently plowed the ground with their hooves. It seemed that they were accumulating strength for the coming war.
”General!”
A horse galloped from the array, holding a small flag and shouting: ”General Ma, please tell the general whether to lead the attack?”
Liu Ye waved his hand: ”order General Ma to be calm and not impatient. He must not attack without authorization.”
”No!”
After the sentry came back, he told Ma Chao. Ma Chao sighed: ”I don't know what the general is waiting for. With Zhang Xun's combat effectiveness, I don't think we need to send out our soldiers. We can defeat the enemy in the first World War by directly using Xiliang cavalry.”
”Since the general won't let us attack, naturally there is a general's reason. Meng Qi should be calm and not be impatient.” Pound advised.
As time went on, Liu Ye's army never launched an attack. When the two armies approached 100000 soldiers, they just looked at it with wide eyes.
”General, shall we wait?” Li Feng asked for instructions.
”Attack!” Zhang Xun frowned and said, ”if we wait like this, the spirit of our army will be wiped out, and we must attack immediately.”
”Don't worry about the enemy's steeds, and order the whole army to attack Liu Ye's central army directly!” Zhang Xun ordered.
The sound of the war drum, which had already been depressed, suddenly became more intense. The sound of the horn spread further with the wind. With Zhang Xun's general attack order, more than 30000 yuan soldiers rushed out with the will to die.
”Kill!”
”If the general has an order, attack the enemy's middle army without error.”
