The fog slowly dispersed, and with the increase of visual distance, the appearance of the battlefield began to be observed.
The Han army sent out cavalry to fight in the fog. In a very short time, a team attacked the array set up by Zhang Chong. The emergence of these Han troops did not cause much death or injury to the main force of Zhang's Liang army, but it gave the main force of Zhang's Liang army a kind of nervous tension and a sense of oppression in the face of war.
Zhang's cool troops, who were put in front as a buffer by Zhang Chong, have been repeatedly charged. In fact, they have collapsed. Before the thick fog dissipated, a large number of people did not care to arrange the array and run around, and only a few people can be firmly nailed in place.
The fate of Zhang's Liang army, who was regarded as cannon fodder, was not very different, whether it was running around or staying in place. They were first attacked endlessly by the Han cavalry, fewer and fewer people, and their resistance will became weaker and weaker. When the Han infantry charged, they were either killed or captured.
With the passage of time, the war situation is also changing. Zhang's Liang army, arranged near the Han Army camp, has lost its combat effectiveness. The Han Army has pushed forward enough distance. With the closer distance, the two sides enter the stage of hard encounter between the main forces.
As the visible field of vision grows, the benefits for both sides are actually the same.
Zhang's Liang army in the array can make timely preparations before discovering that the Han army is rushing. The gun array in front can adjust their mentality when the Han Army rushes up, and the crossbow hand in the rear can carry out high-intensity coverage in the sound of orders.
The cavalry of the Han army who took over the charge finally did not have to run headlong in the thick fog. After discovering the enemy, they could ride and shoot for at least one round, and they could take defensive collision or offensive collision depending on the situation.
Whether it's light cavalry, sudden cavalry or equipped cavalry, the worse the cavalry's defense, the greater the losses suffered by the infantry attacking the array, and of course, the less the war results will be.
When the array infantry did not break the psychological defense line with the huge momentum of cavalry, in fact, no matter what kind of cavalry, it was difficult to take too much advantage, and it would not become an invincible superman because there was a war horse under the soldier's crotch.
The Han army is a defensive counterattack. The cavalry who take over the charge knows what they should do. The military order is that no matter whether it is a knife mountain or a sea of fire ahead, they should rush forward knowing they will die! Go! Go!
The sudden cavalry must be the spearhead of the charge. In the charge, they try their best to destroy the obstacles such as horse resistance and wooden raft manipulated by Zhang's Liang army in advance. At this stage, it is inevitable that the cavalry will hit the obstacles. While destroying obstacles, arrow rain falls from the air all the time. Good equipment can defend the arrow damage to the greatest extent. The armor of the key parts blocks or bounces the arrow. Some leather parts do not have so strong defense. Fortunately, leather is used as a buffer, and the arrow does not enter the meat too deeply.
Only by clearing the obstacles set by Zhang's Liang army as much as possible can the paoze in the rear not deliberately avoid it. The cavalry with heavy responsibilities know that they have a high probability of death, but someone should bear the necessary losses in a war.
In the words of conscience, soldiers may die on the battlefield. There is no doubt that they will die in any situation. When facing various choices, only soldiers can make their own decisions.
In the face of invasion, a nation can emerge with stories of impassioned elegy. That is, in the face of oppression, if you don't resist, you will sink. The stronger the will to resist, the more heroes will be born.
A nation without heroes cannot summon the courage of ordinary people when they are invaded. Similar nations will inevitably withdraw from the historical stage in various competitions and become the disappeared nations introduced in a literature.
If you take the initiative to invade others, it is difficult to have the courage to burst out when you are oppressed, and when you occupy an advantage... Whether it is the psychological advantage or the advantage of the overall strength of the country, there is rarely the phenomenon of knowing that you will die and having the courage to die.
Do you know that the Han army with a high probability of death is afraid? Any creature has the instinct to survive. Mole ants are still greedy for life. No one wants to die if they can live. At this time, the importance of soldiers' sense of honor and discipline is highlighted.
In addition to the military law suppressing the soldiers' survival instinct, whether there is a generous pension at home after the death, what treatment their families will receive after their death, and so on, the economic conditions, material compensation, social treatment of the families of the dead... Will let the soldiers who know that they will die know what their mentality is when they know they will die.
In the view of many generals of Zhang's Liang army, it was a luxury for the Han Army to attack and destroy obstacles with Armored Cavalry. In addition to feeling extravagant, they can also understand the will of the Han Army in this war. Few people are worried about their future.
The Han army kept pounding forward, and the arrow array of Zhang's Liang army kept shooting arrows.
Arrow array is the best fighting method of Chinese and Miao people. As long as the Chinese cold weapon army trained in the traditional way, few people will use arrow array.
Although they are all arrow arrays, there are still different archery methods. What kind of distance is what kind of shooting method. When it is far, it is upward shooting, when it is necessary, it is flat shooting, and when it is close, it is hoarding shooting in the face of dense enemy forces. Each different shooting method will achieve different results. For example, the enemy facing the organizational shield wall should shoot, and let the arrow rise to the highest height and then drop. Not only avoiding the shield wall can kill the enemy behind the shield wall, but also using the drop to generate more kinetic energy to have greater penetration.
As the thick fog faded, the visible field of vision continued to increase. Before the battle between the two armies, there were still various commands and shouts. Zhang's Liang army in the rear first gave an exclamation, followed by noise.
The appearance of exclamation was that someone looked back at Jincheng, where the banners were flying on the top of the city, but the Han Army banners were flying in the wind.
It is a taboo for the army to make noise. Soldiers who were originally absorbed in combat would be suspicious when they heard the noise, and soldiers waiting for combat would look around when they heard the noise.
Soldiers should not be distracted when fighting. If there is a slight distraction, the enemy may not avoid or block the weapons, and his life will be lost in the absence of mind at that moment.
During the war, there is nothing more deadly than the noise from the rear. No matter what the state of mind before, the noise from the rear will be confused. When the heart is in a mess, the officers will stop and give orders. The uncertain soldiers will have more time to think nonsense without receiving the order, and the whole army will become rigid and dull at that moment.
In military history, most of the army's defeats began with the uncertainty of the soldiers' hearts. The strong will of the army can support even at a disadvantage, but the army's lack of war led to flight.
At this moment, Zhang Chong was very angry in his heart. He wanted to send a wealth to Yi Chuai and others. The gentleman's agreement was that Yi Chuai should not act rashly before the war outside the city came to an end. Let alone remove the flag of Zhang's Liang army and replace it with the flag of the Han army.
Obviously, Yi Chuai and others did not take seriously the agreement with Zhang Chong's gentleman, which led to some serious results.
Noise refers to the sound produced by a large number of people talking and shouting after the uproar. Those who find the change of Jincheng flag shout that Jincheng is lost.
"The whole army must attack!" Zhang Chong waved his teeth and claws on the nest car and shouted, "charge, the whole army charge!"
Although Zhang Chong has long been psychologically prepared for Yi Chuai and others to break the agreement, he is more or less with a trace of luck. He believes that since he has given such great credit to Yi Chuai and others, Yi Chuai and others should be more or less grateful, but he still underestimates the shamelessness of the betrayer and shows his innocence.
The rapid war drum was sounded, and Suofu was the first Xiliang general to lead the army to charge. He was charging at the front of the team. He waved his weapons with a broken expression, and kept shouting: "kill the enemy! Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy!"
After Suofu, more or less other generals of Zhang Liangguo also launched an attack, but more generals stayed in situ.
Suofu on the flank charged with cavalry, and the infantry of Zhang's Liang army poured out in the front. Such a move surprised the Han Army in the offensive state, so that the Han Army's offensive stopped for a while.
When Xie an received the report from the front, the infantry and horses of the two armies had actually been twisted into a regiment. His next action was to let another cavalry army ready to go bypass the battlefield and enter the city.
Of course, the fighting between the two armies is fierce, but there are too few Zhang's cool troops who launch an assault and intend to fight to death. More Zhang's cool troops are hesitant. As a result, the Zhang's cool army in front is fighting with the Han Army, but the Zhang's cool Army in the rear has fled. The Zhang's cool army in this array has to move forward and some have to retreat. It seems that Zhang's cool army is a mess.
Zhang's Liangjun, who was too weak to do so, was hit hard by Yi Chuai, who personally led the headquarters to rush out of Jincheng.
Yi Chuai is completely in a state of mind. After leaving the city, he takes an attack. I go straight to Zhang Chong's location.
Jincheng fell for no reason at first, and the rebels rushed out of it. At this moment, even those who have the will to die will doubt the value of doing so.
Zhang Chong, who was on the nest car, watched the troops ordered to charge be defeated by the Han Army, and then saw that the rebels attacked from behind, resulting in the defeat of his own troops. He picked up his sword and posed to kill himself many times, each time he picked it up and put it down.
"Drop..." Zhang Chong finally didn't kill himself. He hoarsely said, "surrender, order to stop the flag and surrender!"
The so-called Yan flag is to tilt the flag down. For an army, the hanging of the flag means only one thing, that is, strike.
It's better to stop the drum. There has been a saying of beating the drum to help the war since ancient times, in order to boost morale. When the drum stops, the battle stops. When the drum stops in combat, there is no golden sound. The soldiers may not know the situation, but the officers know what it means.
Zhang Chong is not afraid of death. In fact, he leads the army out of the city with the mentality of death. He didn't commit suicide because he wanted to live temporarily. He was worried that the Han army would kill prisoners of war after Zhang Liangjun surrendered, and the Han army was famous for killing and surrender prisoners. Ran min alone killed more than 300000 prisoners in Bingzhou and Shuozhou. He knew that only when he was alive could he strive for the chance to live for the Zhang Liang army after the surrender. Since the final counterattack did not achieve the expected results, he should think about the generals who were disappointed and dragged down by himself, so he really couldn't afford to die for the time being.
Zhang's cool army completely lost their fighting spirit after they stopped fighting. They threw away their weapons one after another. They either knelt down or stayed in place, waiting for the next fate.
Yi Chuai quickly galloped to the position of the flag with the cavalry. Because he had no resistance, he would have time to think about something. He always hesitated whether to kill Zhang Chong or the prisoner directly. He waited until he really came near the flag and saw Zhang Chong on the nest car. He already had an idea in his heart.
Whether it's cruel or shameless, traitors usually don't want the people betrayed by themselves to survive. Yi Chuai picked up the bow and put on the feather arrow. When he was about to release his teeth, a roaring horse hoof came from far to near.
Cui Xuan was once again at the spearhead of the charge. They were going to enter the city and got a new order. Xie an personally ordered them to come to the core of the enemy and enjoy the glory of capturing the enemy general.
"Who, what do you want to do?" Cui Xuan's voice was very loud. He stared at Yi Chuai fiercely from a distance. After a loud question, he approached and stared at Yi Chuai with dignity and said, "he has surrendered and is still drawing a bow to shoot. What do you want to do!"
Yi Chuai's face was green, red and white. Finally, he gave up archery. He didn't know whether it was embarrassing or something. He twitched his cheeks and silently saluted Cui Xuan, saying, "I'm going to have an appointment with Zheng xizhonglang, and I'd like to present Jincheng to you.", He wanted to say that he offered Zhang Chong to increase credit, but later he sold Cui Xuan a good one.
Cui Xuan saluted back with a fist. He didn't talk to Yi Chuai much. He took people to the nest car. At this time, Zhang Chong has gone down to the ground.
"The Lord has said that the Han Dynasty conquered Xiliang for the sake of jin'ou." Cui Xuan looked at the calm old man in front of him, raised his chin a little, and then continued: "Taishou Zhang's tenacious resistance is to take their own masters. If he is defeated in battle, he orders to surrender without losing his reason. The fight of the same clan is for misfortune. Don't do anything to hurt relatives and enemies."
Zhang Chong didn't even look at Yi Chuai, who was approaching. He bowed in the direction of Jizhou and said, "the king of Han is the hero of the world. He saved all the people by the hand of Hu Lu. Now the bad minister blocked the car with the power of the mantis arm. It's all the fault of the bad minister, which has nothing to do with the people of Jincheng. His officers and men are also doing the bad minister's military orders, and the crime is all the bad minister."
Cui Xuan looked around. Many people showed unbearable expressions, but more were dull. Originally, he wanted to show the pride of some victors. He coughed a few times and asked Zhang, "does Marshal Zhang have a mount?"
Zhang Chong nodded and brought the horses under his command. He turned over and rode up, turned his head and looked at the North Bank of the Yellow River. After looking up, two lines of clear tears flowed down
