The 184th chapter adds eight fierce generals

The Zhennan Army led by Li Bin, the cavalry of the Liang Kingdom and the 12 Grassland Alliance, on the night of the war broke out, in a felt bag in the three-way coalition camp outside Zunyang City, the expressions of the Eastern Qiang Khan Asgai, the left assistant minister of the Liang Kingdom War Zhang Zeng, and the Minister of the War of Jinluo Kingdom Xiahou Cheng were all very solemn at this time, which also made the atmosphere inside the felt bag look a little depressed.

The Khan of the Eastern Qiang tribe Asgahi said in a deep voice: "The losses have been counted. In today's battle, the Eastern Qiang tribe lost about 70,000, the Northern Qiang tribe lost about 40,000, the Chijie tribe lost about 30,000, the Diqiang tribe, the Jinle tribe, and the Hejie tribe each lost about 20,000 people. The Southern Qiang, Wurong, Western Qiang, Gao Heng, Dangfan, and Louyi tribes lost about 60,000 people in total. In this way, our 12 grassland alliance lost a total of 260,000 cavalry."

Asgai finished speaking, Zhang Zeng, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War of Liang, followed and said: "In today's battle between Daliang, almost 120,000 cavalry have been killed. So far, the 1.5 million army led by this official has only about 1.32 million people left."

During the fierce battle today, the losses of the Liang Kingdom cavalry and the cavalry of the grassland races were much higher than those of Lu Xun. The combined losses of the Liang Kingdom cavalry and the cavalry of the grassland races had reached 380,000.

The Khan of the Eastern Qiang tribe, Asgahi sighed and said, "As of now, the losses of our 12 grassland alliance have exceeded 400,000. The Zhennan Army of Yan State is indeed a hard bone. It seems that if we want to completely defeat the Zhennan Army and seize the five prefectures and the Dongman Protectorate controlled by the Zhennan Army, our three coalition forces will have to pay a considerable price."

When the Zhennan Army's Northern Route Army in Yingzhou Prefecture was able to break out from the siege of millions of troops, it shocked the Eastern Qiang Khan Asgai and the Left Assistant Minister of the Liang Kingdom's War. Now, after facing each other with the main force of the Zhennan Army, Asgai and Zhang Zeng were both in their hearts, increasing the danger level of the Zhennan Army by several levels.

Xiahou Cheng, Minister of War of the Jinluo Kingdom, then said: "Asgai Khan, Mr. Zhang, no matter what, our three coalition forces together still have an absolute advantage in terms of military strength. Tomorrow, we will fight with the Zhennan Army. I am willing to lead the Jinluo Imperial Army as the vanguard."

Now the Jinluo army gathered outside Zunyang City has reached 700,000 troops. During the more than half a month of besieging Zunyang City, the Jinluo Kingdom has sent more than 300,000 troops to Zunyang City.

However, because the Jinluo Kingdom lost the source of Dongzhou Prefecture, the war horses, and the number of cavalry among the 700,000 Jinluo army was less than 30,000, so during the daytime raid against the Zhennan Army, the Jinluo army did not send cavalry to the war.

The Khan of the Eastern Qiang tribe Asgahi nodded and said, "The reinforcement force sent by the Zhennan Army is very powerful. Although our three-party coalition forces have an absolute advantage in military strength, it seems unlikely to eat the reinforcement force of the Zhennan Army in one bite. Next, our three-party coalition forces need to fight steadily. In the confrontation between the two armies, we have to rely more on the infantry of the Jinluo Kingdom. As for the task of rushing to the formation, it is enough to have the cavalry of our twelve tribes and the cavalry of the Liang Kingdom."

In fact, Xiahou Cheng, the Minister of War of the Jinluo Kingdom, was unwilling to lead the Jinluo Imperial Army as the attacking vanguard. However, he had just heard the tone of the Eastern Qiang Khan Asgai, and he revealed a little intention to retreat, so he took the initiative to say that he was willing to lead the Jinluo army to the forefront.

Now that the 12 Grassland Alliance and Liang Kingdom abandon the Jinluo Kingdom, the Jinluo Kingdom will probably only have the path to the destruction of the country.

Asgay's words made Xiahou Cheng breathe a sigh of relief, "Asgay Khan, Mr. Zhang, will our three-way coalition forces continue to fight tomorrow?"

"Of course we have to continue fighting. Didn't your Jinluo country's intelligence say that the Zhennan Army mobilized more reinforcements to Zunyang City? Our three-way coalition forces must strive to eliminate these hundreds of thousands of Zhennan Army troops before more Zhennan reinforcements arrive!"

On the morning of March 15, 2018, the Zhennan Army and the three-way coalition forces set up their formations outside Zunyang City. However, this time, the Zhennan Army placed the heavy infantry battle formation at the forefront.

When the Khan of the Eastern Qiang tribe Asgai saw the formation set by the Zhennan Army today, he turned his head and said to Zhang Zeng, the left assistant minister of the Liang State War: "It seems that the Zhennan Army is preparing to focus on defense today. Who on both sides of us will send cavalry to the formation first?"

Zhang Zeng hesitated for a moment and said, "Asgai Khan, let's come first today! I'm just right to see how powerful the heavy infantry in Yan State is!"

The military organization of Liang Kingdom did not imitate the Great Yan Empire, but was still the military organization of nomadic peoples of the grassland.

Zhang Zeng, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War of Liang, immediately sent three cavalry teams of 10,000 people, and first launched an attack on the heavy infantry battle formation of the Zhennan Army.

Today, the first guard of Guizhou, the second guard of Guizhou, the first guard of the Eastern Barbarians and the second guard of the Eastern Barbarians, each sent a heavy infantry brigade, which was ranked first in the front of the infantry formation. Behind these four heavy infantry brigades are four outer guards and the other four heavy infantry brigades.

Behind the eight heavy infantry brigades, there is a square formation composed of one palace and battalion after another.

In addition, there are tens of thousands of heavy cavalry and tens of thousands of light cavalry on the left and right wings of the Zhennan Army infantry formation, protecting the flanks of the Zhennan Army infantry formation.

When the three 10,000 cavalry teams of Liang Kingdom approached the Zhennan Army's infantry formation, crossbow arrows were everywhere covering these Liang Kingdom cavalry, and the attacks of the crossbow arrows were not in a single wave, which brought continuous losses to the charging Liang Kingdom cavalry.

After suffering huge losses, the Liang Kingdom cavalry finally hit the Zhennan Army's infantry formation, but was blocked by the heavy infantry of the Zhennan Army with spears and shields.

In addition, the crossbowmen of the infantry formation were still firing crossbow arrows at the Liang Kingdom cavalry. As a result, the three 10,000 cavalry teams of Liang Kingdom almost posed no threat to the Zhennan Army's infantry formation, and they retreated directly.

Zhang Zeng, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War of Liang, couldn't help but shake his head and said, "The heavy infantry of Dayan is indeed powerful. It seems that if you want to break through the infantry formation set up by the Zhennan Army, you will not be able to fight hard."

The Khan of the Eastern Qiang tribe Asgahi said in a deep voice: "The strength of our three-way coalition forces is several times that of the Zhennan Army after all. Next, the cavalry of our 12 Grassland Alliance will be attacked again!"

Asgai is much more generous than Zhang Zeng. He sent 200,000 cavalry as soon as he came up, and rushed towards the Zhennan Army's infantry formation with a scattered momentum...

The battle between the two armies once again lasted until the evening. The large infantry formation of Zhennan Army blocked wave after wave of attacks by the cavalry of Liang Kingdom and the cavalry of various tribes in the grassland.

However, the eight heavy infantry brigades of the first guard of Guizhou, the second guard of Guizhou, the first guard of the East Man and the second guard of the East Man have suffered considerable losses. In order to reduce the pressure of the eight heavy infantry brigades, Li Bin led the cavalry troops of Zhennan Army to launch several counterattacks.

During this fierce battle, the infantry and cavalry of Zhennan Army lost nearly 60,000 yuan.

The troops of the Liang Kingdom, Jinluo Kingdom and the Twelve Grassland Alliance lost more than 300,000 people in total.

During the battle on this day, Li Bin not only filled the half-hexagram position that did not brighten the Tai Chi Bagua diagram with the essence of the sun and the moon, but summoned two Chinese historical figures. Next, Li Bin relied on continuous fighting to brighten the eighthexagram positions of the Tai Chi Bagua diagram again.

When Li Bin returned to the camp of Zhennan Army, four strange generals appeared behind Li Bin. The four powerful generals summoned by Li Bin were Taishi Ci, Pang De, Zhang Liao and Wei Yan.

Taishi Ci, whose courtesy name was Ziyi, was a military general at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and served as the commander of Jianchang Duwei.

Taishici was skilled in bowing and horses and archery skills. He was originally a subordinate of Liu Yao, but was later surrendered by Sun Ce. Since then, Taishici became a general of the Sun family, helping him to sweep away Jiangdong.

After Sun Quan ruled, because Taishi Ci was able to control Liu Pan, he entrusted the important matters to manage the south to him. In the eleventh year of Jian'an, Taishi Ci passed away. Before his death, he said: "My husband should carry a three-foot sword in his life to ascend to the rank of the emperor. Now that he has not fulfilled his ambition, how can he die?"

Pang De, whose courtesy name was Lingming, was originally a military general under Ma Teng. He made many military achievements in the process of fighting with Ma Teng and was the best in the three armies.

After Ma Teng was conquered by Cao Cao as the Weiwei, Pang De belonged to Ma Chao. After Ma Chao was defeated, Pang De followed him to Zhang Lu, Hanzhong, and then Ma Chao surrendered to Liu Bei. Pang De remained under Zhang Lu's command. After Cao Cao pacified Hanzhong, Pang De joined Cao Cao.

During the Battle of Xiangfan, Pang De led his army to support Cao Ren in Fancheng. During the battle with Guan Yu, he shot Guan Yu's forehead with an arrow. Later, he was overflowing with the Han River. Pang De and Yu Jindu were wiped out.

After being defeated and captured, Pang De vowed not to surrender to death and was killed by Guan Yu. He was posthumously named Zhuang Marquis.

Zhang Liao, whose courtesy name was Wenyuan, was one of the five good generals of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period. He was once subordinate to Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, and after the Battle of Xia Pi, he surrendered to Cao Cao.

After that, Zhang Liao followed Cao Cao to fight, and made great achievements. He broke the Baima siege with Guan Yu, surrendered to Changfeng in the East China Sea, attacked Yuan Shang in Yecheng, and took the lead in killing Wuhuan Shanyu Tadun at Bailang Mountain, and then pacified Liu Yi from Liaodong, Mei Cheng from Huainan, Chen Lan and others.

After the Battle of Ruxu, Cao Cao appointed Zhang Liao, Li Dian, Le Jin and others to defend Hefei. Zhang Liao repelled Sun Wu's attack many times. In the Battle of Hefei in the 20th year of Jian'an, Zhang Liao led 800 soldiers to attack Sun Quan's 100,000 troops and attacked Sun Quan's commander, which made Sun Quan frightened and the Wu army was invincible and defeated.

Later, he defeated the 100,000 army with a total of 7,000 people and almost captured Sun Quan alive. After this battle, Zhang Liao's power shook Jiangdong.

After Cao Pi ascended the throne, he still ordered Zhang Liao to defend Sun Quan. In the third year of Huangchu, Zhang Liao defeated Wu general Lu Fan while sick. In the same year, he died of illness in Jiangdu and was posthumously named Ganghou.

Wei Yan, whose courtesy name was Wenchang, was a famous general of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period and was highly valued by Liu Bei.

When Liu Bei entered Sichuan, Wei Yan was appointed as General Yamen because of his military achievements. After Liu Bei captured Hanzhong, he promoted him to General Zhenyuan, led the prefect of Hanzhong, guarded Hanzhong, and became the general who was the only one.

Wei Yan guarded Hanzhong for nearly ten years, and then followed Zhuge Liang to the northern expeditions repeatedly, and made remarkable achievements. During this period, Wei Yan asked Zhuge Liang to command 10,000 troops for him and went on a different journey to attack Guanzhong. Finally, he met Zhuge Liang in Tongguan, just like Han Xin's example, but Zhuge Liang refused, so he was dissatisfied.

Wei Yan and Changshi Yang Yi were in conflict. After Zhuge Liang's death, the conflict between the two intensified and they fought for power. Wei Yan was defeated and fled, and was chased by Ma Dai, and the three tribes were destroyed by the barbarians.

The Zhennan Army and the three-party coalition forces fought for two consecutive days on the 16th and 17th. Both armies suffered great losses, but neither of them completely defeated the other side.

During the fierce battle on the 16th and 17th, Li Bin still personally led the cavalry troops of the Zhennan Army to launch a counter-charge, which also filled the eight divination positions of the Tai Chi Bagua Diagram with two consecutive energy, summoning four new generals.

Yu Juluo, whose courtesy name was Juluo, was a famous general in the founding of the Sui Dynasty.

Yu Juluo had extraordinary strength, his eyes had double pupils, and his voice was loud. At the age of 20, he joined the Imperial Guard and was promoted to the Grand Commander.

In the ninth year of Kaihuang, the follower of Emperor Yang destroyed the Chen Dynasty and was appointed as the Kaifu. In the tenth year of Kaihuang, Shen Xuanqing and Gao Zhihui's rebellion were sanctioned, and the Shangkaifu, Diezhou general manager, and was granted the title of Gaotang County Duke.

Yu Juluo resigned because of his mother's death, returned home to mourn. When he arrived at Fufeng County, he met Yang Su's army and seized the intelligence country. He followed the army to attack the Turks, became the chief magistrate of Fengzhou, which made the Turks feel fear and no longer blocked horses.

Later, the Feishan barbarians in Yueshi County were pacified, attacked Goguryeo and suppressed Liu Yuanjin's uprising.

In the ninth year of Daye, the censor accused Yu Juluo of having an image of an emperor, but was suspicious of Emperor Yang of Sui and beheaded in the market.

Shi Wansui, a famous general of the Sui Dynasty and the son of Shi Jing, the governor of Changzhou in Northern Zhou Dynasty, was good at riding and shooting, and liked to read military books. At the age of fifteen, he followed his father to join the army.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou, his father died in battle. He was appointed as the three officials of Kaifu Yitong Sansi and inherited the title of Duke of Taiping County.

On the northern weekend, Liang Shiyan, the Shangzhu Kingdom, attacked and attacked the rebellion of the general of Xiangzhou, Yuchi Jiong. He took the lead in every battle and was appointed as the general for his merits.

At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, he was implicated in the rebellion of General Erzhu Ji and demoted to the garrison of Dunhuang County. In the third year of Kaihuang, he followed Dou Rong, the general manager of Qinzhou, to attack the Turks, defeated the Turkic troops, participated in the battle of Sui to destroy Chen, and quelled the rebellion in Jiangnan.

Every time Shi Wansui marched and fought, he led the way and was good at comforting his subordinates. He served in battles, fought in the south and north, and made many military achievements. He was envious and framed by Prime Minister Yang Su, and was eventually killed by Emperor Wen of Sui.

He Ruobi, whose courtesy name was Fu Bo, was a famous general of the Sui Dynasty.

He Ruobi was born in a general's family. He had few ambitions and was very brave. He was good at riding and shooting. He was well-informed and knowledgeable. His father He Ruodun was a general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

He Ruobi was awarded the title of Shangzhu Kingdom for his contribution to attack Chen, and promoted the title of Duke of Song Kingdom. He became the General of the Right Wuhou. In the third year of Daye, He Ruobi was killed by Emperor Yang of Sui on charges of slandering the government.

Han Qinhu, whose courtesy name was Zitong, was a famous general of the Sui Dynasty and the son of Han Xiong, the general of the Northern Zhou cavalry.

Han Qinhu was very brave and had a good temper. He liked to study. When he first served in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he served as the governor, the governor of Hezhou, and was granted the title of Duke of Xinyi County. He followed the army to pacify the Northern Qi Dynasty and repeatedly defeated the Chen State to attack.

In the first year of Kaihuang, Han Qinhu was appointed as the chief supervisor of Luzhou, guarding the important land of Jiangbei, Lujiang, and preparing to destroy Chen. In the eighth year of Kaihuang, he attacked Chen as a vanguard general and led his troops to cross the Yangtze River at night, attacked Caishi, conquered Gushu, marched into Xinlin, captured Zhuque Gate, occupied Jiankang City, and captured Chen Shubao.

Han Qinhu made outstanding achievements and promoted to the position of Shangzhu Kingdom, a general, and was granted the title of Duke of Shouguang County. Later, he was appointed as the general of the marching commander of Jincheng to defend against the Turks, and was appointed as the general of Liangzhou.

In addition to recalling eight master-level generals, including Taishi Ci, Pang De, Zhang Liao, Wei Yan, Yu Juluo, Shi Wansui, He Ruobi and Han Qinhu, there is another thing that makes Li Bin happy.

On the afternoon of the 17th, the southern army of Zhennan Army in Yingzhou Prefecture finally arrived outside Zunyang City. The southern army included the Third Guard of Guizhou, the Fourth Guard of Guizhou, and Xu Sheng, and Dong Shiwei's fifty battalions under his command.

In addition, with the Southern Army coming, there were also a group of reinforcements coming from Xiangzhou Prefecture, including the First Guard of Xiangzhou, the Third Guard of the Eastern Barbarian, and the forty battalions led by Guan Ying.
