"During the Yuxia period, Dayu controlled the flood, led Jing into Wei, and surrounded the south of the county, becoming a famous place in Yongzhou. It was originally a fief of the Western Zhou Dynasty. There was Fengzheng Yuan, which was a high-rise land in the territory, and was called Gaoling, so it was named Gaoling."

From this passage, we can see that the name of Gaoling has nothing to do with the tomb, but because there is a tall and broad Fengzheng Plain to the south. The plateau is a unique landform formed by the erosion of flowing water in the Loess Plateau area. It is raised on the flat ground and is flat on it, shaped like a high platform. "The mainland is called Fu, and the big bun is called Lu". The tomb here refers to the large mound.

Five thousand people from the Longxiang Camp of the Yulin Army were marching. They were in Gaoling, but they were flat in front of them. It was midsummer and the weather was hot. The soldiers were a little tired after the long-distance marching.

"So thirsty!" Gongsun Zhun licked his lips and said in his heart.

His soldiers were also weakened by the sun, no longer as they were in their usual spirits. Even the war horses lowered their heads and rubbed forward step by step.

Finally, he received the order to rest. The soldiers of the three songs took turns to the river to drink water and feed the horses. They simply ate some dry food with clear water to soothe their already hungry belly. Because in the high-risk areas of the war, Sun was extremely cautious and left a song on the shore to guard him. After the second song and the three songs finished eating and drinking, it was the turn of the song to go down to the river to drink water.

Gongsun Zhun picked up the water and drank it happily. As soon as he got up, he shook his hand when he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Look! Look at the river!"

He looked up and saw a strange scene.

In front of you is the intersection of two big rivers. One river water is turbid and turbid yellow, while the other is deep and quiet, with clear blue-black. The two rivers cross together obliquely and form a big river. The river water after the intersection is half clear and half turbid, with clear boundaries.

This is the so-called clear distinction between Jingwei and Wei. In modern times two thousand years later, it was also a famous natural landscape. However, during the Han Dynasty, the Jing River was turbid and the Wei River was clear. In later generations, due to the increasing number of human activities in the upper reaches of the Wei River, it caused environmental damage and soil erosion, and the silt and sand content in the Wei River increased greatly. The water quality was much worse than in ancient times, so it became turbid and the Jing River was clear.

Gongsun Zhun looked at the clear and turbid river water, and slowly became a little dizzy, as if it was not the river water moving, but he was standing on the boat and moving forward.

He raised his head and looked at the other side. The vast river and the vast trees were filled with trees, which blocked his gaze. Gongsun Zhun knew that not far from the other side of the river was Chang'an where they were thinking about.

From east to west, they finally came to Chang'an and were about to have a glimpse of the peerless appearance of the greatest ancient capital of the world.

He could not tolerate his love for the past, and the sound of the enemy's attack suddenly sounded in his ears. Gongsun Zhun suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly shouted the soldiers to rush up to the river bank.

The entire army was mobilizing, and the soldiers ran quickly, forming a tight formation one by one, and the vehicles accompanying the army were pushed to the front and arranged in an arc to deal with the possible attacks of the cavalry.

Behind the simple chariot formation, crossbowmen and long soldiers lined up one after another, and the only more than 400 cavalry gathered on the right wing of the entire army and were ready to go out at any time.

The scout reported that the army was found several miles away, with flags, and it should be the enemy.

The situation in Gaoling is very chaotic now. Hundreds of thousands of Red Eyebrow Army and Gengshi Army are active here, fighting every day, and you may encounter troops everywhere. The standard for distinguishing enemy and our army is also very simple. Generally speaking, the one with flags is the Gengshi Army, and the one without flags is the Red Eyebrow Army.

Gongsun Zhun was expressionless and patrolled the team with a bow and arrow on his back, directing the busy recruits to find their place.

The veterans who followed His Majesty to fight were already familiar with each other and were in order, while the new recruits were a little frightened, especially the new recruits from the people, who had never been on the battlefield. Unlike the young men in the camp who were used to fighting, they were often very yearning for war, but they were inevitably afraid when they were in battle. Thanks to the many veterans of Sun Yi's army, they led the new recruits to quickly settle down and wait for the battle.

Meng Qian pushed his crossbow cart to the front, singing a song loudly while preparing the crossbow arrows. Gongsun Zhun listened carefully, but heard him sing: "Food skewers, meat skewers, fresh human flesh skewers, one skewers, two skewers, three skewers, three skewers, seven skewers, and a few more skewers!"

This untuned minor tune and simple lyrics make people laugh. The soldiers' tense nerves are involuntarily relaxed, and even Gongsun Zhun couldn't help laughing.

The scout's report said that the enemy was just a few miles away. When they were about to set up their formation, the enemy had rushed over from afar.

This is a team of infantry and cavalry. The cavalry rushed in front and infantry followed behind, without forming a formation, and rushed over directly. It seemed that they wanted to drive them directly into the river.

The crossbow was stomped and aimed at it from a distance. Gongsun Zhun estimated it for a while. In a while, the enemy would be able to enter the range of the yellow crossbow. In fact, there was no need to look at the enemy, just look at the face of Mrs. Meng. His face was always smiling. As the enemy approached, his smile became bigger and bigger. When it entered the range, he would be happy.

Everyone was ready to go, but they saw the enemy army on the opposite side slowing down hundreds of steps and stopped. A cavalry rushed to the front of the formation and shook a flag back and forth toward this side, with the words "Han Right Assistant Commander" on it.

Gongsun Zhun's heart moved and said to Sun Yi: "Captain, did the opposite side mistake our army for a friendly army?"

Sun Yi nodded, "I think so too."

Gengshi Army was holding the Han flag, but the Red Eyebrow Army never set up flags. When marching, they only saw heads and no flags. Gengshi Army and the Red Eyebrow Army fought in Gaoling for more than a month, and they were used to the style of the Red Eyebrow Army. Suddenly, they saw a team with thick flags, and their first reaction was most likely to be regarded as friendly forces.

If you are marching normally, you will be able to send a scout and scouts on both sides to investigate and make a general confirmation of the enemy and us. However, this is a sudden encounter and no detailed investigation is made, and the probability of mistaken recognition is simply too high.

Sun Yi raised his hand and rolled his eyes regardless of Madam Meng's dissatisfaction, signaled the crossbow soldiers not to fire. He also called the soldiers who were holding the flag to come over and waved the flag of the "Hantun Cavalry Captain" to the opposite side.

Finally, the opposite side moved forward again. It seemed that it had been confirmed that this was a friendly army and was not ready for combat at all.

Meng Ang's mouth opened again and continued to hum his skewer song. Sun Yi ordered: "Send the entire army to fire within a hundred steps."

Seeing that the enemy was getting closer and about two hundred steps, they stopped again. Perhaps they had noticed something strange, five cavalrymen rushed towards this side, perhaps to confirm further. If they got closer, the disguised Gengshi Army would immediately reveal the situation.

It seems that I can't hold it anymore.

Sure enough, after entering dozens of steps, several cavalrymen tied the reins, turned around and prepared to return to the team, and kept shouting loudly to the team. Seeing this, Gengshi Army on the opposite side suddenly started to stir up. The soldiers ran, as if they were preparing to line up to meet the enemy.

Can't wait any longer!

Sun Yi ordered: "The sharpshooter killed the cavalry and soldiers, and the big yellow crossbow shot in a volley, and the other soldiers were in front of him, forming a charge formation."

There are more than ten sharpshooters under Gongsun Zhun's tent. They are sharpshooters selected from hundreds of bowmen in the entire song. They are small special forces specially established after the Battle of Shiliwu, which are specifically responsible for sniping and killing enemy generals in the face of battle. Now they are used to snipe a few cavalry and barracks, which is a useless tool.

Sun Yi's order was issued, Meng Qian slammed the hanging knife, and three crossbow arrows flew out, heading straight for the enemy. An enemy cavalry was caught in an arrow. Because of its excessive impact, it was led backward by the crossbow arrow. When it landed on the ground, the crossbow arrow that penetrated his back stabbed an infantryman. The two of them strung on a long arrow and died together.

Meng An laughed: "Human flesh skewers! Another skewer!"

This wave of powerful crossbows shot less than ten people, but the chaos caused was really not small. The enemy, who was already a little panicked, became even more panicked. The generals tried their best to maintain order, but the soldiers ran back and forth like flies.

The worst was that the five cavalrymen who suddenly broke out into the range of the bow and arrow fell four of them under the attack of the sharpshooter led by Gongsun Zhun. The last cavalryman had turned around and ran towards the road. Gongsun Zhun had an arrow behind him, heading in the back, ending his life.

Seeing that the enemy's formation was in chaos, Sun Yi immediately ordered the entire army to attack, and he rushed over with more than 400 cavalrymen.

I have to say that this decision is quite bold. The number of enemy troops on the opposite side is far greater than that on Longxiang Camp. If you shoot at a long range, Longxiang Camp has room for power to play. However, if you take the initiative to attack and fight, Longxiang Camp can only rely on a tight formation, super long soldiers, and the physical and individual capabilities of the young soldiers are still at a disadvantage.

Sun Yi gave up his long-range advantage and chose to attack because of the situation in the face of the enemy and us.

Longxiang Camp is backed by the river, and the terrain is unfavorable, and it is hasty to face the enemy, and there is no fortification to rely on. If the enemy is formed into a formation, stabilize the position and launch an attack, Longxiang Camp will be driven and fall into the water, and there is a danger of annihilation of the entire army.

At this time, the enemy had just understood from the panic of mistakenly accusing his friendly forces and was suddenly hit by a powerful crossbow. When he was confused, the short-term chaos may not be long. The army with certain training can return to normal in the next time the general's organization.

This short period of chaotic time is very precious, and the timing can be said to be fleeting. Sun Yi immediately issued an order to attack the entire army without any hesitation, which can be said to be very decisive.

Four hundred cavalry roared towards the enemy, and a distance of two hundred steps arrived in an instant. The infantry behind the cavalry also formed a formation and began to advance forward.

The enemy was even more chaotic under the pressure of this force. The generals called everyone to meet the enemy. The generals were confused, not knowing whether to move forward or backward. At this time, the most reliable one was the veteran elite soldiers under his command. Suddenly, hundreds of armored infantry gathered under the banner of the Zuofu Commander, and their cavalry rushed out of the army to meet the four hundred cavalry led by Sun Yi.

Although the number of enemy cavalry exceeded that of Longxiang Camp, the hasty battle was not formed, and they all attacked sporadically, which could not stop this small cavalry team.

On the battlefield of the Han Dynasty, cavalry raids on the back were common, and cavalry raids on the front were very rare. Perhaps only cavalry on the border could do it. It was not that they could not rush, but that under the conditions of the strong enemy formation, the method of fighting for life to fight for life, even if one cavalry could exchange several infantry, it was still not cost-effective for cavalry.

But Sun Yi just aimed at the enemy but failed to form a formation and rushed in like this.
