At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

He wants to use the cavalry's cavalry to deal with Zhang Chun's infantry formation, but before that, he wants to defeat Zhang Chun's cavalry and cut off Zhang Chun's retreat.

He can confirm that Zhang Chun's cavalry cannot compete with him in terms of cavalry and shooting.

Of the [-] cavalry he brought out, [-] were his own cavalry, and [-] were Karasuma cavalry.

Even if the opponent's 4000 people can ride and shoot, they are not as good as you in terms of numbers. If they don't know how to ride and shoot, that's even better. You can kill them if you play ride and shoot.

Zhang Chun noticed that Guo Peng had a lot of cavalry, so he felt that he had to rely on infantry to win.

As long as his own infantry can defeat Guo Peng's infantry, then even if Guo Peng's cavalry wins, he must withdraw. Zhang Chun only hopes that his cavalry can resist until Guo Peng's infantry is defeated.

Moreover, Guo Peng himself was in the formation of the infantry, and he saw the banner of the general. If he could defeat Guo Peng's infantry and force Guo Peng to retreat, as long as his banner retreated, he would win .

Zhang Chun was ready to fight, and with a wave of his hand, the two army formations moved forward side by side, and started to attack first.

When Guo Peng saw the opponent's infantry starting to attack, he first ordered the cavalry to attack Zhang Chun's cavalry from both wings.

According to Guo Peng's order, the Xiahou brothers and Zhao Yun and Guo Lie led the two-winged cavalry to start moving towards Zhang Chun's two-winged cavalry, attacking Zhang Chun's cavalry from the side and destroying his mobility.

First defeat Zhang Chun's cavalry, and then slowly torture his infantry.

On my side, [-] are state and county soldiers and garrison troops, and only [-] is the elite infantry formed by Guo Peng dismounting the cavalry.

Anyway, everyone is the same when spears fight each other. The comparison is who can maintain the army formation better, who can keep their formation in order, and fight their lives with each other.

This is the time to reflect the degree of training and prestige of the general.

Guo Peng ordered the infantry formation to come forward and face Zhang Chun's infantry formation.

The two sides formed a complete army formation, launched an attack on the opposite army formation, and approached each other with spears and shields roaring. At the moment of confrontation, contradictions intersected, and a lot of blood burst out.

Some Han soldiers were stabbed to death by the rebels, and there were also rebels who were stabbed to death by the Han army. Although most of the rebels were coerced into rebellion, when they really went to the battlefield and stabbed with spears, they might not be under the Han army. The army is not an elite division.

These Han army infantry were not tough divisions trained strictly by Guo Peng, nor did they receive extremely strict training like the cavalry trained by Guo Peng.

Many of them are local garrison soldiers and county soldiers. In fact, they are not far from ordinary people. They are often used as handymen by the death of their chiefs, but they are more familiar with weapons.

Neither side is a mighty teacher, and the time has come to fight for numbers, luck, and command. Whoever has more people, who has better luck, and whose coach has stronger command ability, will be able to compete in such a battle. win.

The spearmen on both sides stabbed fiercely with their spears.

Yelling and just stabbing.

A desperate stab.

Until he was stabbed to death, he was yelling to distract his attention and eliminate the fear in his heart.

PS: Wow, please stop talking about Zhao Gao!There are too many people climbing up step by step, not just one Zhao Gao?

PPS: Moreover, although Zhao Gao is a servant, he is not an eunuch. Zhao Gao has the surname of Zhao, and is a distant relative of the Qin royal family. He was trusted by the first emperor of Qin and was so talented that he was even appointed as the teacher of the second emperor. In the Qin and Han Dynasties, eunuchs and eunuchs only referred to officials who served in the court. Eunuchs or eunuchs were real eunuchs. The difference between the two It is very obvious, just like the difference between gold and gold, it is very obvious.

Chapter 130

No one is not afraid of death, and Guo Peng is also afraid of death, but when he has to face death, he must learn to temporarily forget death through various methods.

Mechanically stabbing out and retracting, sometimes it can stab the enemy on the opposite side to death, and sometimes it will be stabbed to death by the enemy.

Many people don't know what they are fighting for until they die. It may be for money, it may be for women, it may be for survival, or it may be because they are coerced and helpless.

Anyway, there are various reasons, but once you are on the battlefield, don’t worry about anything else, there is only one—kill the enemy and let yourself survive.

If it goes well, you can survive, but if you are not lucky, you will die. No one knows whether you will see the sun tomorrow, so you can only eat a simple and rough war meal, so as not to starve to death.

What is the ideal, what is the goal, what is the personal ambition, it means nothing to them.

The four thousand cavalry under Guo Peng's command have the belief to fight in order to repay Guo Peng's kindness and establish achievements.

So in times of crisis, they would fight to the death because of Guo Peng's existence. Most of them didn't have such belief, and they would run away as soon as they saw that the situation was not good.

As long as someone starts running, it will trigger a chain reaction of terror.

Therefore, how to let the other party have such a chain reaction first and prevent himself from having such a chain reaction is what the general must learn. At the same time, how to turn the tide when such a reaction occurs is also a time to test the general's ability.

Guo Peng had never encountered such a thing before, but this time, he did.

After fighting for about two pillars of incense, the cavalry of the Han army under the leadership of Brother Xiahou and Zhao Yun Guolie beat Zhang Chun's cavalry and gained an overwhelming advantage. However, in terms of infantry, Guo Peng's infantry The army array was crushed and beaten.

There were so many rebels, and when they came up, they were a fierce blow. The Han army could hold on at first, but as more and more comrades died, some people couldn't hold on.

Since the No. 1 spearman began to flee, the front army of the Han army's infantry formation began to collapse.

Guo Peng discovered this sign a little earlier than Zhang Chun.

The former army was controlled by Cao Ren and Cao Hong, while Guo Peng left Guan Yu and Zhang Fei by his side to command the central army. He believed that the bravery of these two men could play an important role at critical moments.

Now is the most critical time.

Seeing that the former army showed signs of defeat, Guo Peng realized that something was wrong, and immediately threw the elite [-] headquarters of the Chinese army into the battle.

The 1000 people were handed over to the commanders Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who each commanded 500 people. This was not enough. Guo Peng had to go into battle by himself, leading 300 personal guards into the battle.

At this moment, we must act decisively and use our prestige and the Chinese army to stabilize the situation. Otherwise, once the infantry formation is defeated, no matter how great the cavalry's victory is, it will be meaningless.

Guo Peng drew out his saber and swung it forward.

"Follow me forward!!"

The sound of war drums rumbled, and Guo Peng led his army forward decisively, and the battle flag representing the general also moved forward. The advance of the general's battle flag is a very serious and obvious signal. Both the people on his side and the enemy can See.

Zhang Chun saw Guo Peng's general flag marching forward, asked the reason, and learned that Guo Peng's front army had collapsed and became unstable. Destroy, win.

And Guo Peng led the Chinese army to press forward, and the main general went into battle in person. The Han army was a little encouraged, and the supervising team also began to exert force, smashing and stabbing the soldiers who turned around and running back, killing several soldiers immediately. Ten soldiers who wanted to flee.

Guo Peng personally stepped forward and beheaded the two men, shouting, "Those who retreat will be killed without mercy!"Follow me forward! 』

The soldiers of the Han army who wanted to flee had no choice but to move forward with the wave of Guo Peng's Chinese army, setting off a wave of counterattacks. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led the elite troops to press on, and immediately stabilized the formation of the front army.

The two armies fell into a fierce battle again.

Zhang Chun's attack was blocked, and he was very angry. He immediately imitated Guo Peng and led his troops to press forward, using his general flag to encourage the rebels to move forward.

The battle of the infantry was very fierce. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led their troops to the front line to fight the opponent.

But no one is willing to take a step back. The generals yelled words such as "no retreat" and "strive forward", which symbolizes that the drumbeat of the forward attack has never stopped, because everyone knows that whoever has taken a step back after killing this point , is the inevitable rout frenzy.

A frenzy of defeat that cannot be reversed by the gods descending from the earth.

Guo Peng himself also entered the most dangerous battlefield. He dismounted from his horse and beat the drums to cheer. The guards around him became the supervising team. When he saw anyone stepping back, he hacked to death with a knife, forcing the soldiers to move forward desperately.

He has no other way, Zhentianlei has already used up all his time dealing with Wu Yan, and at this time he can only rely on the most basic bravery and command to fight the opponent to the death.

In short, as long as they can win, the whole battle situation will be reversed, and the life of this rebel army will not last long.

Guo Peng also put his life on the line here. All in all, this was another desperate battle.

Don't even dare to fight for your life, how can you talk about fighting for hegemony?

The war has entered a fierce state, and the voices of many soldiers are hoarse. Guo Peng's arm beating the war drum is already sore and difficult to lift, but the battle is still stalemate. The frontline soldiers on both sides have already lost their minds and turned into beasts. .

Roaring and yelling, he couldn't even speak, his eyes were already congested and red, his body was covered in blood, and he stabbed out the spear in his hand desperately with his eyes open. He looked like everything except human beings.

Guo Peng gritted his teeth and watched the stalemate situation. He knew that the opponent had a large number of people. Once the soldiers on his side were exhausted, he could rely on the advantage of numbers to press up and completely crush his army formation.

That's it.

At that time, the only way for him to survive is to get on the horse, run away, and run away in a very embarrassing situation.

no!This kind of thing must not be allowed to happen!

Guo Peng's blood was surging, and he put all his eggs in one basket, leading his personal guards to rush directly to the front line.

He wants to tell the soldiers that the Lord will come to the front line and live and die with them.

"My lord! Don't do this! The battlefield is too dangerous!"

Cheng Liding kept Guo Peng from moving forward.

"Do you think I can retreat now? If I retreat, none of us will survive! I must go forward!"

Guo Peng pushed Cheng Li away with red eyes, and led his troops forward.

This is the last way out of desperation, a desperate way, without any security guarantee, because it is also telling the enemy that the general has come to the front line to live and die with the soldiers.

Zhang Chun was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the crossbowmen to concentrate on shooting at the place where Guo Peng's general flag was.

But Guo Peng absolutely can't take a step back. If he wants to stand in front of him, he is in a difficult situation now. If he doesn't last until the last moment, this battle will inevitably fail!

"Hold me! Don't retreat! Those who retreat will be killed...ah!!!"

An arrow shot from nowhere hit Guo Peng's left arm, pierced through the armor and pierced into the flesh and blood, and Guo Peng suddenly felt a piercing pain.

Chapter 131 130- Zhao Yun feels as if he has made a contribution

Guo Peng was hit by an arrow, and the guards around him turned pale with shock.

"General!"

Cheng Li was shocked.

"Lord!"

Guo Peng has probably been lucky since he entered the battlefield, so he has not been injured so far.

But no matter how good a person's luck is, there are things that luck can't take care of. Perhaps this is also a kind of luck in itself. An arm injury is better than being blocked by an arrow.

But this is really painful. Guo Peng has felt the pain of being whipped by Lu Zhi on his back because of his poor practice. It is a burning pain, but it is not as good as this kind of pain.

When the guards were in chaos, the surrounding soldiers would immediately feel the ominous atmosphere. Guo Peng only thought for a moment that this was a battlefield, not a home.

"Hold up the banner!! Zhongde! Help me up!"

Guo Peng stared at his eyes and gritted his teeth, tightly pursed his lips to resist the pain, Cheng Li was a little flustered, flustered, managed to stabilize his mind, and helped Guo Peng up with his bodyguards.

Then Guo Peng looked at the arrow that pierced into his own flesh and blood, and held the tail of the arrow with his right hand cruelly, holding back the pain desperately, breathing rapidly.

"Cut off the body of the arrow!"

Guo Peng stared at Cheng Li with red eyes, and Cheng Li's cheeks twitched uncontrollably. He also panted heavily, gritted his teeth, took a short knife, and chopped off the arrow body.

Guo Peng's forehead was bulging with veins, and he still pursed his lips without saying a word, and his eyes did not waver.

Soon, he gasped violently, then pulled out his saber with his trembling right arm, and pointed it forward vigorously.

"There is no enemy but no me! There is death but no life! Gentlemen! Follow me forward!!!"

Guo Peng opened his mouth and roared loudly, pushing Cheng Li away and going forward.

Seeing that the general was so brave and continued to move forward regardless of his injuries, the guards around him were greatly encouraged. They all followed Guo Peng with red eyes and rushed to the front line regardless of life and death.

Guo Peng went up to the front line with injuries and refused to retreat. He shouted loudly: "Whoever retreats, I will kill him! If I retreat, any of you can kill me!!"

The general's fearlessness inspired all the soldiers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also aroused with the greatest courage, and led the elite into the enemy group like monsters, breaking through Zhang Chun's frontline army formation in one fell swoop , Actually killed one of their army formations.

Zhang Chun was shocked, and quickly mobilized more soldiers to fight against the Han army's assault and stop the Han army's attack.

But at this moment, the situation on the battlefield has changed, and what Guo Peng most wanted to see finally happened.

Zhang Chun's cavalry has been completely defeated by the superior cavalry of the Han army.

The Xiahou brothers and Zhao Yun and Guo Lie had already led the cavalry to attack Zhang Chun's rear army. The cavalry entered the state of riding and shooting, and began to threaten the rebels.

The rebels didn't have many bows and crossbows, so they couldn't deal a huge blow to the superior cavalry of the Han army.

However, the Han army had a large number of cavalry, and the cavalry and shooting attacks around the rebel army formation brought a great blow to the rebel army.

In addition to riding and shooting, Guo Peng also equipped the Han cavalry with slightly heavier throwing weapons such as hand axes, allowing the Han cavalry to smash the rebel formation with hand axes, causing serious damage to the rebel shield formation blow.

Soon, an army formation of the rebel army couldn't hold on and broke up. Zhao Yun immediately led his troops to press up, and a burst of impact killed the opponent like chopping melons and vegetables.

The disintegration of an army formation was just the beginning, and soon, the rebel formations began to disintegrate one after another. They were all insufficiently prepared and lacked arrows. After being pressed by the superior cavalry for a while, they could not hold on. Er ran back, was overtaken by the cavalry of the Han army, and took the head with a knife.

The infantry without the army array was nothing but food on the plain. The Han cavalry slaughtered them wantonly, and they hardly received any strong counterattack. Zhang Chun's rear army began to collapse, and the Chinese army was also threatened by the Han cavalry.

Soon, his subordinates notified Zhang Chun that their cavalry was defeated by the Han army, and the rear army was attacked by the Han army's cavalry swiftly and could not hold on anymore, and their retreat was about to be cut off by the Han army.

It wasn't until this time that Zhang Chun woke up like a dream, and realized that his all-out attack on the Han army's infantry was an act of disregarding his head. As a result, not only was the Han army's infantry not defeated, but his retreat was cut off by the Han army's cavalry up.
