Chapter 127 The outbreak of the war
On the second day of the second month of the first year of Chuping (October 2nd day of the second month of October of 186 AD).
A total of 120,000 members of the Yang family went out of Shuofang and went to Wuyuan in three directions. Along the way, flags were waving and morale was like a rainbow. Within three days, Xi'anyang was conquered and Chengyi counties were conquered.
On this day, on the plain west of Yiliang.
Two armies lined up on the plain, one in the west and one in the east. On the east was the Qifu army's army, with more than 200,000 cavalrymen living on both sides to protect their troops.
To the west is the Yang family army formation. Compared with the Qifu army's troops' arrangement, the Yang family army's formation is more rigorous. Gao Shun's camp was directly in front of the army, followed by Zhang Liao's Fenwei camp extending left and right to backward, forming a triangle. In the triangle is Huang Zhong's Feiyu Camp, and directly behind Feiyu Camp is Yang Fan's guard camp. On both sides of the guard camp are Guan Yu's Xunjie Camp and Zhao Yun's Qifeng Camp extending to the northeast and southeast.
Looking down from the sky, the formation of the Yang family army is like a big "w", which is also a typical battle formation for diverting the cavalry. The Yang family army is solemn and unmoving like a mountain; although the number of people in the beggar's army is large, it is chaotic and noisy.
The breeze came slowly, but it could not blow away the solemn aura. The sun shone brightly. Yang Fan looked up and thought to himself that it was a sunny sky. Yang Fan looked at Dian Wei beside him. Dian Wei understood it, and then rode his horse out of the formation, stood between the two armies, waved the iron halberd in his hand, shouted: "I am Chenliu Dian Wei, who dares to fight me?"
The leader of the Qifu division called Qifu Wanyan, and he reached out to point at Dian Wei, and a general beside him immediately rushed towards Dian Wei.
This made him tall and burly, holding a wolf-tooth stick and fighting with Dian Wei. Both of them were powerful people. When the weapons collided, the sound of shocking collisions made people feel scared.
In the blink of an eye, the two fought for more than fifty rounds. Dian Wei couldn't take him for a moment, but he suddenly fought back. The Xianbei general naturally chased him relentlessly and followed closely. Dian Wei then took out several small halberds from his waist and threw them at the Xianbei general behind him.
The general was careless and immediately got his chest hit Dian Wei's two halberds, and fell off his horse. Dian Wei was in power and refused to forgive him. Then he turned his horse's head and ran towards the Xianbei general. He raised his halberd and fell. A big and good head rose up with blood.
"Drink..." "Drink..." "Drink..."
Seeing that Dian Wei made contributions in the first battle, the soldiers of the Yang family raised their weapons and shouted loudly. They shouted angrily, surging like a wave and slammed towards the Xianbei army formation.
Dian Wei also beat his horse and danced his halberd and shouted: "Who else dares to die?"
After seeing this, Qifu Wanyan sent two generals to fight Dian Wei again. Dian Wei was not afraid of resentment, but saw the reckless man from Chenliu holding a spear in his hands and not retreating but advancing.
These two Xianbei generals looked similar and had the same moves, and they were obviously twin brothers who came out of the same sect. Although these two generals were not as good as Dian Wei, their martial arts were complementary and for a moment, Dian Wei was embarrassed.
After seeing this, Yang Fan immediately shouted to Wen Pin in the distance: "Zhongye, go and help the evil."
After hearing this, Wen Pin hurriedly rushed out and fought with one general. Wen Pin's joining immediately reduced Dian Wei's pressure and he knocked down one general in a short while. Wen Pin was also a first-time general on the battlefield, so he naturally wanted to show his strength in front of Yang Fan. He saw that he used all his strength to force him to the vital point. With only more than twenty moves, he knocked down another Xianbei general.
Qi Fu Wanyan didn't expect that there would be so many good players under Yang Fan's command. The three generals who were killed just now were already one of the best warriors in his clan, but they could not walk dozens of moves in the hands of the general.
Qi Fu Wanyan was very angry. With a wave of his hand, two 10,000 cavalrymen left the Xianbei formation and rushed towards the central army of the Yang family. After seeing this, the second general of Dian Wei and Wenpin hurriedly rode their horses back to the formation.
Yang Fan smiled and said, "I want to break my formation by just 20,000 cavalrymen? I will pass the order and form a defensive formation in the camp, and shoot in the fifth section of Feiyu Camp without gaps, so that he can ask Fu Wanyan to try my Yang family's arrow formation."
Then the Cause of the Conquering, and the second camp of Feiyu moved when he heard the order. Under Gao Shun's leadership, the Cause of the Conquering camp quickly formed a defensive formation, and Feiyu also bent his bow and arrows.
Just when the cavalry team came within its range, with Huang Zhong's order, the soldiers of the Feiyu Battalion of the two schools were the first to shoot the arrows in their hands, and then the soldiers of the two schools shot the arrows in their hands. Then, one after another, the two schools continued in a row. The arrows shot from the Feiyu Battalion were like a storm, falling into the two cavalry formations that were charging.
The charge of the Xianbei cavalry was interrupted in an instant. Countless Xianbei soldiers were shot and arrows fell off their horses, and countless war horses fell to the ground. For a moment, countless people were trampled and tripped.
Although the Xianbei people were not afraid of death, they were determined to face this ever-changing arrow, but they were also hit with a trace of turmoil in their hearts.
At this time, Feiyu Camp also stopped shooting arrows. If you look closely, you will see that the arms of each Feiyu Camp soldier were trembling slightly. With a cup of tea, Feiyu Camp actually shot at least one million arrows, and the effect was also very significant. Only a few of the 20,000 Xianbei cavalry escaped with injuries.
The blood-red fishy smell spread on this dead grassland. The whine and arrow shadows that had just disappeared seemed to bloom in the wind again. The accumulated residual bodies were hideous and terrifying, and the strong aura made people almost suffocate.
The soldiers of the Yang family were stunned, and the Xianbei people were also stunned. They begged Fu Wanyan to think that this was the long-lost Great Qin Arrow Formation?
The evil spirit that soared into the sky was gathered in the Xianbei army formation. The cruel blow of the Yang family army did not break the strong hearts of the Xianbei people, but instead made them even more united in the enemy.
Qi Fu Wanyan waved his hand, and tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry howled and rushed towards the Yang family army's formation. The fearless aura instantly dispelled their sadness.
Yang Fan's face changed and he quickly said in a deep voice to the left and right: "The war has just begun, and I will be ordered to press the Fenwei Camp."
With Yang Fan's order, 20,000 soldiers of Fenwei Camp immediately pressed forward and protected both sides of the camp. The soldiers of Feiyu Camp showed resoluteness, and they once again took out the bow and arrow and put it on the bow.
Huang Zhong wandered among the soldiers, constantly encouraging the morale of the soldiers. In the formation of the camp, Gao Shun stared at the iron cavalry that kept approaching the Xianbei cavalry, holding the sword in his hand tightly. Compared with the camp where the shouts on both sides, the camp was like a lion about to hunt prey, so quiet that it was a bit scary.
The charge of tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalrymen, Feiyu Camp, only blocked their charge, and was immediately killed by them.
The camp was like a monster, constantly devouring the lives of the Xianbei cavalry around him. Compared with the relaxation of the camp, the soldiers of the Fenwei Camp used their flesh and blood to resist the impact of the Xianbei cavalry.
If Fenweiying had not dug a small hole on the ground in advance, inserted the giant shield into it, and then pressed the shield tightly with his body, he would have barely blocked the rushing force of the Xianbei cavalry. In this way, Fenweiying had paid the lives of thousands of people and was not broken.
Yang Fan's eyes were bloodshot. After a brief collision just now, tens of thousands of casualties were killed and tens of thousands of people. When he saw that the Xianbei cavalry had no advantage of speed, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let the Fenwei Camp join the camp and go up."
Dian Wei was stunned when he heard this, and then said, "The guardian camp has gone up. What should I do if the lord's safety?"
Yang Fan said in a deep voice: "Press up!"
Dian Wei quickly led the remaining soldiers of the military guards to press forward, leaving only Xu Chu and hundreds of people to protect Yang Fan.
The Yang family army had a firm fighting will, and the Xianbei people were the same. The casualties on both sides were rising. In the end, Fenweiying did not disappoint Yang Fan's expectations and was intertwined with the Xianbei cavalry.
Quit Fu Wanyan had never seen such a Han army before. He waved his hand and 50,000 Xianbei infantry immediately shouted and rushed towards the Yang family army.
Yang Fan was waiting for this opportunity, the only chance to win. After seeing him and Guo Jia look at each other, they could see the excitement in each other's eyes.
Yang Fan then whispered loudly: "Let Xunjie Camp and Jifeng Camp attack."
