Chapter 218 Eighty thousand Han soldiers overwhelmed
"Everyone..."
Bian Zhang stood up and glanced at the people in the tent one by one. He knew what these guys were thinking. The more they knew their plans, the more serious and serious the faces were.
"You know what Huangfu Song did in Jizhou, and the heads of 100,000 people. If we cannot severely damage the Han soldiers coming, you can't even think about surrendering and surviving!"
A group of bastards rebelled, and they all robbed money. After seeing that they could not enter Chang'an and robbed another, surrendered and disbanded became the mainstream idea of everyone. Bian Zhang was very clear about this and was about to speak again...
"What General Bian said is good!"
One person suddenly stood up, and everyone turned to see that it was Han Sui, a famous scholar in Western Liang.
"At this time it is no longer a matter of whether we surrender or not, but whether the court is willing to surrender. Only by severely damaging those Han soldiers can all of us have a way out!"
The old man wearing a sheepskin coat frowned and hesitated: "What the two generals said is, the key is... can we beat those Han soldiers? They killed many people in the Central Plains!"
"Yes, we still think it's safer to block the Yellow River..."
"Spring is warm and the snow is melting. It is the time when the river water is rising. Even if the Han soldiers want to cross the river, I think it is safer..."
...
One person shrank back and everyone was about to stop. Bian Zhang felt annoyed in no time, but he also knew that if he wanted to defeat the rash Han soldiers, he could only take advantage of the present. If 100,000 Han soldiers came to the Yellow River to confront them, even if they wanted to win, they would have no chance. Instead, the bastards in the Hehuang Valley attacked them.
Bian Zhang was silent for a moment...
"You are saying that, but there is a fact that you need to understand. The Han soldiers killed a lot of people in the Central Plains and put down hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army in a year, but who are they?"
"It's the farmer!"
"It's not the Han farmers in Liangzhou, but the farmers in the Central Plains!"
"If you have a 50,000 army, can you kill hundreds of thousands of Central Plains farmers a year?"
Everyone looked at each other speechlessly. As long as the Qiang people in Liangzhou rebelled, the first one to be unlucky was the Hanmin Village in Liangzhou. How many Hanmin Villages were unlucky? No one knew, but one thing was 100% certain, that is, if they could not defeat the Hanmin Village, then they would not be able to rebel!
Even the Han people in Liangzhou can beat them, but can they beat the honest Han people in the Central Plains?
Seeing everyone silent, Bian Zhang knew that they were hesitating, and after thinking about it, he increased his bargaining chips again.
"We have no way out. At this time, we can still defeat the 40,000 Han soldiers with all our strength. Once we cannot defeat them, if we let more than 100,000 Han soldiers fight over, we will all die!"
"Not only because of the Han soldiers who are killing, but also the tens of thousands of traitors in the Hehuang Valley behind us!"
Everyone was shocked, and then they suddenly remembered that there was a tiger behind them staring at them.
"beat!"
One person suddenly stood up.
"General Bian is right. We have no way out and can only fight them!"
Dozens of old and young, looking at each other silently nodding...
"Since you have no choice but to retreat, then fight to the death. I can send three thousand troops."
"We have two thousand riders, all of them are begging!"
"Since that's the case, I don't hesitate to fight to the death..."
...
Bian Zhang personally led 50,000 cavalry out of Sangyuan Gorge first, and Han Sui led 30,000 to follow closely. Zhou Shen, who had just arrived at Yuzhong, suddenly stopped...
"kill--"
The vanguard young general Yan Xing personally led five thousand cavalry and roared with halberds. Hu Chuquan, the younger generation of the Right Virtue King, was furious.
"kill--"
Arrows were like rain, and both sides were elite Qiang and Hu cavalry, with the same bows rushing and the same wielding sabers to kill each other.
Five thousand vs. Five thousand, both sides are elite Qiang Hu cavalry, and it is hard to tell the difference between them for a while. Just as the two sides were entangled, another five thousand Qiang cavalry broke out...
"kill--"
Gongsun Zan roared and rushed out. The Sanqian Wuwan cavalry was in a state of chaos, but he still followed Gongsun Zan to kill the Five Thousand Qiang cavalry behind him.
When Bian Zhang saw the Han soldiers fighting out, he roared to the sky.
"This battle will lead to death and no life-"
"kill--"
Forty thousand iron cavalry rushed to the 30,000 Han soldiers hiding behind the chariot in a panic.
"Arrow shot—"
Huangfu Song roared angrily, and countless arrows shot towards thousands of Qiang cavalry running wildly. The arrows were like rain. The Qiang cavalry running wildly continued to fall down their war horses, but half of them were thrown out by rotating stones on their heads, or shot them with bows...
After wave after wave, countless Qiang cavalry were like waves rushing against the Han soldiers tightly huddled together.
"kill--"
Bian Zhang seemed to have worn out his last patience, and two thousand cavalry thrust the war horses wildly, and desperately attacked the huddle-up military formation...
"Boom boom boom..."
The war horses hit the chariots heavily and crashed into the Han army...
"Directory Army Formation-"
"Those who retreated and died-"
"Stay..."
...
More than 100,000 Han soldiers were either newly recruited soldiers in Chang'an or Han soldiers in the Central Plains who participated in the extermination of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Have they ever seen countless iron cavalry rushing forward?
I have never experienced the horror of running horses in front of me, and I will never know how much pressure this kind of oppression is. Even veterans of hundreds of battles still sweat a lot in front of countless iron hooves, not to mention the Central Plains soldiers who have never experienced such a fierce battle?
But the first one to escape was not the Han soldiers, but the Three Thousand Wuwan Cavalry, which was the 5 Thousand Xiongnu Cavalry who participated in the battle and siege and kill. The Qiang people in the chaotic border were no less than the Xiongnu Cavalry, and the Wuwan Cavalry was half a point worse. When the Qiang Cavalry waved their sabers and roared wildly to surround and kill the Huns, the Three Thousand Wuwan Yisong took the lead in running away.
"kill--"
"Kill them all--"
When the Qiang people saw the Wuwan people running away, their morale was greatly boosted. Huchuquan was smashed heavily by Yan Xing. If it were not for the tribe members who were protecting them, they would have died in the siege of several times the Qiang cavalry.
"Walk--"
Hu Chuquan was scared, and there were screaming Qiang cavalry everywhere, not caring about life or death. The right wise king of the Huns kicked the horse in the belly, hundreds of Huns were fighting to protect the left and right, running towards the north...
The Huns, who were protected by about 30,000 Han soldiers, were the first to collapse and flee under the siege of several times of the Qiang cavalry. The Han soldiers who had not experienced the siege of the tide and iron cavalry collapsed, and countless Han soldiers fled like headless flies.
"Form a formation...form a formation..."
Sun Jian waved his sword and roared angrily, but how could he stop the fleeing army formation?
"when--"
Yan Xing stabbed out a halberd, and Sun Jian slashed out a big sword. Before Sun Jian could slash him angrily, several blood-born Qiang cavalry rushed out from behind Yan Xing, and several arrows shot out...
"Dangdang--"
Sun Jian blocked the two of them, but he failed to avoid the arrows that rushed in, and his shoulders fell off the horse.
"kill--"
Sun Jian was indeed brave. Even though he was caught in an arrow, he still waved his sword and slashed two war horses in succession. No matter how brave he was, he could not withstand countless arrows and waves of iron cavalry and sword wielding.
After being hit by several arrows, he was slashed by a man and slashed in the back. Sun Jian struggled to stand up, but finally fell on the battlefield...
Countless people ran south and east, hoping to escape their lives, but where could they escape the four-legged war horse?
A big defeat...
The 40,000 troops were almost wiped out. Huangfu Song, Zhou Shen and others had elite soldiers following him to protect You and escape. They could still escape. How could countless two-legged Han soldiers escape?
Bian Zhang ignored the battlefield behind him and led tens of thousands of Qiang cavalry to chase after him. Before he could enter Didao, tens of thousands of Qiang cavalry rushed to the east and dispersed before he could get involved...
Tens of thousands of Qiang cavalry waving their sabers all the way, chasing the collapsed 100,000 Han soldiers. When Dong Zhuo learned the news of the defeat of the Han soldiers, he was shocked and it was too late to retreat immediately.
The Han army retreated too quickly, and there was no time for Dong Zhuo to retreat. When he received the news, Bian Zhang and Han Sui had defeated 80,000 in succession. The four armies of Zhonglu were almost wiped out. They fled into Didao, Shouyang, and Ji County at a distance of less than 10,000 people.
Eighty thousand Han soldiers, no matter the generals or soldiers, had never really fought with the Qiang people in Liangzhou. Even if the Qiang Han confronted the right Fufeng, the Han soldiers relied on the city to form camps and resisted, and had never really fought with the Qiang people in the wild. Even if Huangfu Song had served as the prefect of Beidi County, they were also relying on the Han people in Beidi County. Qiang people relied on Liangzhou, not the Han soldiers in Central Plains. But who was Dong Zhuo? Dong Zhuo spent most of his life in Liangzhou, and his generals were all Liangzhou generals. After learning that the 80,000 Han soldiers were almost wiped out, he was shocked, but Dong Zhuo did not escape as frightened as others, but formed a formation to confront Bian Zhang.
Dong Zhuo's 30,000 soldiers were not besieged by the rebel Qiang people, but instead confronted the enemy with the river. The 80,000 Han soldiers in the front retreated too quickly and did not give Dong Zhuo enough time to retreat. It was too close to tens of thousands of Qiang cavalry, which became a dilemma. However, Bian Zhang also knew Dong Zhuo's skill. It was not easy to defeat the 30,000 soldiers led by Dong Zhuo, so he could only wait for the moment when Dong Zhuo retreated...
The entire army of 80,000 Han soldiers were wiped out, and the failure would definitely affect Dong Zhuo's troops. If you are not frightened, you should retreat. Once Dong Zhuo retreated in panic, the 30,000 army would inevitably be wiped out, just like the 80,000 Han soldiers. Perhaps Dong Zhuo could escape from the protection of the Huangzhong Yi, and the 30,000 Han soldiers and infantry...
No one spoke in the tent, but Dong Zhuo just frowned, as if he was hesitating about something...
"Father-in-law, the thief is powerful. If we retreat, we will be defeated. What should we do at this time... then?"
Niu Fu was less timid than other generals. When he saw tens of thousands of Qiang cavalry opposite him, he felt a little panicked. Dong Zhuo just looked up at him and then looked at the generals in the tent, especially some Han soldiers.
"Don't worry too much. No matter how rampant Zhang Gou Thief over there, he can't do anything to me."
Hearing what he said, Liu Ai, the commander of the army, hurriedly got up and clasped his fists.
"Can the general have a good plan?"
Dong Zhuo raised his eyebrows and saw that the people in the tent were not getting less worried, so he waved his hand and signaled Liu Aian to sit down, and then he showed a little smile.
"Thuwa was a month or two ago... it was wrong. Tigerwa had planned to reach today's situation a year ago."
Dong Zhuo spoke, and all the generals were shocked.
"I won't talk about anything else. I think you all know what Huwa did in Beidi County, just because... it's because some people are too arrogant and think that the five thousand Huns can replace the five thousand soldiers of Huwa."
Niu Fu and others were shocked, and then they suddenly remembered that Dong Hu suddenly entered the three Hetao counties, but... but the five thousand soldiers not only did not work, but also because Huangfu Song suddenly recruited five thousand Xiongnu Yisong, and all the five thousand soldiers retreated to Shuofang County under the leadership of Xing Yong. Besides, even if they did not retreat to Shuofang County, it would be difficult to rescue them in a short time.
