Overlord!

As Zhuge Liang's military order was issued, Xu Huang decisively led his troops into battle, and he was determined to win with his own fighting power.

The troops of the Jiefan Army have all been updated, their sergeants are elite, and their weapons are strong and orderly, which is far beyond ordinary.In every battle, he is the first to enter the formation, as fast as the wind and rain, and is the pillar of the army.

Everyone in the world knows this evaluation, but most people have no specific knowledge of this concept at all.

Xu Huang led his troops out and arranged a horizontal array of thousands of Jiefan's troops. Zhuge Liang's [-] elite assault cavalry led their horses and fell behind them.

This formation was obviously intended to use Jie Fan's army to fight against three thousand Cao's troops alone.

Zhuge Liang had also led the generals in the camp to stand at the gate of the camp to watch the battle between the two armies.

As the formations of both sides unfolded, the banners were densely covered and the phalanx was towering. For a time, both sides were quite majestic and the soldiers were brave.

The leader of Cao's army was none other than Xia Houyuan. He led more than [-] troops to arrive. It can be said that except for some of the soldiers who guarded the northern siege, they were still guarding the camp to prevent the enemy's light cavalry from attacking behind. Most of Cao's elite soldiers were He has been commanded by him.

Seeing that Jiangdong's army only dispatched about 2000 men, they formed a horizontal formation to fight against it.

Xia Houyuan was furious and shouted: "How dare you bully me! The enemy's soldiers are weak. Han Hao, if you personally lead your own soldiers to weaken their formation, our army will follow and we will crush the enemy's army."

Han Hao cautiously advised: "General, the enemy is outnumbered and outnumbered, and the formation is thin but wide. This is called a sparse formation."

"Sun Bin said in the art of war that warriors are in charge of banners, just like men are in charge of soldiers. Therefore, the space must be sparse, with many banners, flags and feathers, and sharpened blades as a side."

"To be sparse but not to be wary, to be numerous but not to be able to form an army, is to be careful. The key to sparse formations is to count them (the key to using sparse formations is to divide soldiers into several battle groups), either to advance or retreat, to attack or To keep it, either to weaken it or to weaken it. However, sparseness can lead to sharpness."

"He is inviting my elite troops to attack to break it. Taking advantage of our army's weakness, we can attack from all sides. It may not be appropriate to rush the whole army rashly."

Xia Houyuan said angrily: "A certain person has experienced hundreds of battles. His attack is like the wind, his power is like fire, and he is invincible. It is not your turn to teach me how to fight. Follow my military orders immediately, clash their formations, and defeat the enemy in one battle!"

Han Hao is just a foreign general, how can he take on a clan like Xia Houyuan.They had no choice but to retreat and lead their elite troops to clash forward in an attempt to disrupt their front.

But Han Hao really misunderstood Xu Huang’s intentions!

Xu Huang's sparse formation was not at all designed to lure the main force of Cao's army to attack and take advantage of its weaknesses to attack its weaknesses.

The method of setting up a sparse formation is only a few ugly, it can advance and retreat, attack and defend.

To be more precise, just to be able to advance in three directions and use the sparse to get the sharpest!

Han Hao followed Xia Houyuan's military order and led his troops to weaken their formation first.

But before he could launch the offensive, Xu Huang's thousands of Jiefan troops were already marching forward amid the sound of majestic drums.

In Han Hao's shock, dense arrows were shot from dozens of steps away!

One step in the Han Dynasty was about 140 centimeters, and the distance of nearly a hundred steps was at least hundreds of meters.

The whistling arrows fell like raindrops, but their lethality was extremely powerful. Even Cao Jun's skin shield was instantly hit by three points!
The soldier who was directly hit by the arrow immediately let out countless screams. As long as his whole body was not covered by heavy black armor, the arrow would have penetrated the body several inches immediately!

The arrows used by Jie Fan's army were refined feather arrows with arrows that were more than three inches long and six centimeters long.

Not to mention completely penetrating into the soldier's body, even if it only penetrated a little more than an inch, it would still be shot into the heart!
With the current medical level of Cao Jun, as long as the arrow penetrates an inch or two into the body, there is no difference from waiting to die.

The strong bows, feathers and arrows used by the Jiefan army were all solid and extremely sophisticated.

While its lethality is extremely strong, what's more important is that the three armies are well-trained, and the archery arms in the army are strong and the arrows are constantly flowing!
The three armies fired forward, bent their bows more than a dozen times, and fired thousands of fine arrows. The arrows covered the ground, penetrated several inches into the soil, and some even penetrated into the rocks for more than an inch.

Cao's army, which was covered by arrows, was bleeding like a river, corpses were lying on the pillow, and wailing was everywhere. Han Hao's army collapsed directly, and the soldiers fled one after another!
Xia Houyuan's eyes were almost split, and he finally recognized that what Han Hao said was sound advice.

But the problem was that it was too late. Han Hao's elite troops weakened the enemy's position first and had already suffered heavy losses.

Cao Jun's army followed, and the front line did not spread too widely. After being attacked by the defeated troops, the main force of Xu Huang's army attacked!
This is the most elite professional forbidden army in Jiangdong. They enter the formation first in every battle and are as fast as the wind and rain!
The force of its attack was simply unmatched. As soon as the two armies engaged and their swords and halberds intersected, Cao's army was invincible and their front line collapsed.

The soldiers of Cao's army did not fight to the death, but their mediocre soldiers could not stop the brave heroes of Jiefan's army who were recruited from all over the world.

Even a single soldier in the Jiefan Army is fierce and heroic. He shouts to fight, and no one else can do it!
Xu Huang took the lead and was the first to enter the formation, overwhelming tens of thousands of people.

He led his bodyguards to attack hard, roaring with fierce energy and moving forward in an indomitable way. Anyone who stood in front of him would be killed without hesitation.

The gap between the two sides is really too big. The money Sun Ce spent on raising this Jiefan army was enough to support more than [-] Cao soldiers.

And Jie Fan's army was all covered in black armor and heavy armor. No one could stop them in every conflict.

Cao's army has more than two thousand followers, and the total number of black armor is less than half of Jie Fan's army. How can their flesh and blood resist these heavily armored warriors?

After an hour of fierce fighting, Xia Houyuan's troops were defeated one after another. Although the soldiers fought desperately, only a few were scattered and reunited.

However, the morale of the soldiers who have reunited and displayed has become tense. If they continue to fight fiercely for a long time, the entire formation will completely collapse!
Xia Houyuan finally couldn't help but order: "Hu Che'er leads his cavalry through the formation to attack the enemy's front!"

Cao Jun's war horses are not as in short supply as those in Jiangdong. Among Xia Houyuan's three thousand cavalry, there are more than a thousand Xiliang cavalry commanded by Hu Che'er.

As a fierce Xiliang general who had followed Zhang Xiu to fight in the north and south, Xiliang Hu Qi, who commanded more than a thousand skilled archers and horses, immediately rode out and circled Xu Huang's side from the right wing.

It's just that Xu Huang's three armies were well-organized, and Hu Che'er's cavalry did not dare to rush directly into the formation. After all, although the Qiang and Hu cavalry under his command were skilled in bow and horse, their ability to break out in heavy armor was not very strong.

Cao Jun didn't have that much armor to give them.

Faced with Xu Huang's troops' unhesitating arrows, which rained down like rain, the Xiliang cavalry could only avoid the arrows and continue to look for opportunities immediately.

Seeing this scene, Zhuge Liang showed a calm smile on the camp gate and said to the guards behind him: "If the enemy's cavalry dare not directly enter the formation, the only chance of victory is gone. He ordered four hundred cavalry to rush out and defeat the enemy. Military Ranger!”

After the military order was issued, more than [-] men were immediately separated from the [-] armored cavalry. They unrolled their armor and mounted their horses. The soldiers did not look back and charged directly at the more than a thousand barbarian cavalry.

Elite equipped assault cavalry, the soldiers of the three armies are eager to fight!

Those who dared to die fought to the death and beheaded generals with flags, killing many people.

The Qiang and Hu cavalry under Hu Che'er didn't even have time to turn their horses and run and shoot before they were directly knocked into the military formation by the armored cavalry.Both sides fought bravely with spears drawn, but most of the casualties were Qiang and Hu cavalry.

These brave and fierce Xiliang Hu cavalry were really no match for the elite assault cavalry trained by Zhuge Liang.

And the armament of both sides is even more disparate!
Less than a quarter of an hour into the battle, Zhuge Liang's armored cavalry generals had penetrated the Hu cavalry array and unfurled the Jiangdong banner behind the Hu cavalry.

Seeing the crimson Jiangdong flag fluttering and flying, the Qiang and Hu cavalry looked back and were frightened, and fled in rout.

Zhuge Liang then ordered: "The enemy army has been overrun. Beat the drums and order the king's division to fight hard both inside and outside, and defeat the enemy in one battle!"

As the majestic drum beat sounded, Zhuge Liang's [-] elite and equipped cavalry all rode out to attack the enemy's formation. Xu Huang's troops no longer spared any effort and pushed forward with all their strength.

As a result, Cao's army was defeated. Sun Ce's army chased for more than [-] miles, beheading more than a thousand people and returned. They killed Cao's general Han Hao and captured more than [-] horses!

Cao Jun failed to challenge and suffered heavy losses, so he retreated to the north.

And Xu Huang's troops marched straight in, followed Xia Houyuan and were surrounded, and rushed directly into Xia Houyuan's camp.

This battle was extremely tense. Cao's army in the northern siege had deep trenches and ten layers of antlers, and the obstacles were extremely tight.

Xu Huang failed to break through these outer ravines and antlers, so he went straight in alone and defeated Xiahou Yuan's camp.

This is a long drive in an absolute sense!

Whenever the enemy troops reacted, they surrounded Xu Huang from both wings and surrounded Xu Huang from the rear.

Then Xu Huang couldn't escape.

However, Xu Huang was not completely unconsidered. He had the confidence to dare to go straight in like this.

First of all, Cao's army was defeated and the three armies were shocked. Xia Houyuan probably did not have the ability to react so quickly and mobilize his troops to launch a counterattack from both wings when the army was defeated.

On the other hand, Zhuge Liang led a large army to follow. On the plain, there were nearly two thousand elite assault cavalry galloping across the plain. It was not easy for Cao's army to cut off Xu Huang's retreat.

That's why Xu Huang dared to march so far to capture Xiahou Yuan's camp, and then march south to reach Gaoshan County!

If the main force of Jiangdong's army comes from the north at this time, Cao's army besieging the city may really face internal and external attacks, resulting in a disastrous defeat for the entire army.

But Cao Cao was not in a hurry yet. The generals in Zhuge Liang's camp really couldn't sit still anymore.

Gaoshan County is already close at hand. If only Zhuge Liang and Xu Huang had opened up a way to rescue Gaoshan.

Regardless of Zhang Fei or Huang Zhong, because of their arrogance and disobedience to military orders, they failed to achieve any success or fired a single shot in this battle. They had no use except consuming a lot of food and grass. Once spread to the ears of Wu Hou, they were afraid that There is no good fruit to eat!
After all, they are not direct descendants of the Marquis of Wu like Chen Wu and Jiang Qin.

These people were optimistic about Wu Hou from the beginning, and when Wu Hou was in his decline, they followed him and even dedicated their troops to Wu Hou for his control.

Not to mention being arrogant, even if they were defeated, Marquis Wu would still trust them.

Chen Wuna was the first valiant cavalry general in Jiangdong since Wuhou to be conferred a formal official position by the imperial court.Jiang Qin was the first general in the army to be promoted to general, commanding [-] troops to suppress Chaisang.

And what are the identities of Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei?Those were all other generals who joined in the process, and their positions were a little higher than those of demoted generals like Song Xian and Cao Xing.

The Marquis of Wu selected talented people and put them to good use based on their talents.

If they can't use their talents to serve Kodong, what will happen? Why don't you think about it?
They were dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang because they felt that Zhuge Liang could not command the army and could not win the war.

But now Zhuge Liang not only won the battle, but was about to complete the set task.

Then they were naturally anxious. Everyone else had made great achievements, but his subordinates had not made any achievements following him. The officers and soldiers under his command certainly did not question Zhuge Liang, but instead questioned whether the two of them could lead the army.

If this is completely ignored, how will the two of them lead troops in the future?

So after Xu Huang broke the siege and entered, they could no longer sit still.

Zhang Fei was straightforward, so he spoke anxiously and asked: "Strategist, we are also leading the army. Everyone else has important responsibilities. Why doesn't the military advisor use X? But he looks down on X?"

He opened his round eyes angrily, with a ferocious aura, as if Zhuge Liang would make a big fuss if he said no.

But Zhuge Liang had a refined manner. Although he was eight feet tall and majestic, he was definitely a Confucian general. He smiled calmly and said: "How dare Liang do this? It's just that a certain person wanted to entrust Zhang Zhonglang with an important task, and he was afraid that Zhang Zhonglang would misunderstand Liang and meant to embarrass him." , I can’t help but refuse.”

Zhang Fei immediately stood up violently, his beard flaring, and shouted angrily: "Since it is an important task, how can I refuse to accept it? The military advisor is obviously trying to shirk the responsibility! Is it possible that someone is still afraid of fighting? What military orders does the military advisor have, but can It is said that I will lead my troops to work hard and live up to the great trust."

Is Zhang Fei afraid that the task will be difficult?

He is now afraid that the military advisor will not give him any chance to lead troops into battle.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Is this serious?"

"Seriously! Someone can issue a military order."

"That's okay." Zhuge Liang's smile faded, he stood up solemnly, pulled out Sun Ce's sword, cut off a corner of the table with one sword, and said generously: "Then please Zhang Zhonglang and his troops will be divided into ten units to attack Cao Jun's eastern siege at night. . This battle must be won but not defeated. If the soldiers retreat before dawn, the school will be beheaded. If the school retreats, Zhang Zhonglang will behead him! If Zhang Zhonglang is defeated before daybreak, I will personally behead you with the sword of the Marquis of Wu!"

"The military order has been established. If Zhang Zhonglang retreats without permission, don't blame our military law for being ruthless!"

Zhang Feihuan's eyes were wide-eyed, his face was full of anger, and his hair and beard were all bulging with anger, this Zhuge Pifu!He didn't talk about victory or defeat with anyone else. He only used the method of provoking generals to tell himself about his defeat.
He roared: "The military advisor thinks I will be defeated? There are so many generals in Jiangdong, but I am the only one who can defeat me? I will never lose half a step in this battle! Anyone below me will be killed if he takes even one step back."

He is violent and ungrateful, respectful to his superiors but not his inferiors.With this military order, even if there are only a thousand soldiers attacking Cao Cao's army of six thousand, they will fight to the death.Army sergeants will never dare to take even half a step back easily.

Zhuge Liang paid no attention to his angry roar and said: "Who wins and who loses is not the result of shouting. If Zhang Zhonglang wants to prove it to himself, he will defeat the enemy in this battle. Don't retreat in defeat!"

"P... military advisor, just wait for me to send back the good news!" Zhang Fei shouted, turned around, and returned directly to the camp with an angry look on his face. He mobilized his entire army and marched eastwards.

After Zhang Fei left, Huang Zhong immediately asked anxiously: "Commander, what about me? All the generals in the army have appointments, why do you leave me alone?" (End of this chapter)
