On May 22, the second year of Qianfu, the first day of the Juye Battle.

As dawn came, the rising sun did not appear. The gloomy sky was dark and dark clouds were low. The slanting wind blew the drizzle and the drizzle began to drizzle.

"Wuwuwuwu—" The long and sad horn sounded, and the Cao army rolled forward and set out in battle. The entire Cao army came. The front army was composed of the three most brave generals under Huang Chao, who led 10,000 battle infantry and 30,000 auxiliary soldiers. A Ge Ge from Shandong led 10,000 combat soldiers from Zhou, and his sworn brothers Huo Cun and Zhang Guiba each led 15,000 auxiliary soldiers on both wings of the front army.

Among the 10,000 soldiers of the front army, there were six powerful elite soldiers from the old Cao Army camp. Most of them were recruited by Huang Chao in Caozhou when he first started his rebellion. They were composed of powerful hunters, salt vendors and Tutuan Township husbands. In addition to the brothers Ge Congzhou, there were also two brothers of Zhang Guiba, Zhang Guihou, Zhang Guimou, and the general Zhang Juyan assisted him.

The central army camp of the Cao Army was led by Huang Chao himself, including Wang Chongba, Chang Hong, Liu Tang, Liu Shanfu, Zhao Zhang, Gai Hong and Huang Chao's brothers and nephews. The central army camp has a total of forty combat camps and 20,000 combat soldiers. The generals of the central army were all at the beginning of the uprising of Huang Chao, and were the most elite troops in Huang Chao. Over the past period of time, although the elite troops in his hands have been cold from 2,000 people half a year ago to 20,000 people now, which is too cold, the core level of this army is all the old brothers. Their combat power is still considerable.

The left wing was arranged with 5,000 combat soldiers and 10,000 auxiliary troops led by Huang Chao general Wang Chongba. The left wing had a lot of troops, but the combat power was not strong. The troops of the left wing army were very simple. Since they were the five thousand combat soldiers, they mostly used simple spears. Basically, these combat soldiers only had one weapon, mostly spears, no swords, and no bows or arrows. The situation was even worse. Many people even directly held sharpened wooden guns, bamboo guns, or simple shields made of wooden boards. Many times they were worried that if the officers and soldiers wanted to open the gap, the left wing would be the best breakthrough point. For this reason, Huang Chao had to take out three thousand cavalrymen in his hand and send his nephew Lin Yan to lead the arrangement outside the left wing to protect the left wing.

The soldiers arranged by the right wing were 20,000 soldiers and horses of the governor Wang Xianzhi. When Wang Xianzhi fled from Songzhou to Caozhou, only 3,000 soldiers were left, and during this period, he became 20,000 soldiers and horses. Although Huang Chao looked down on Wang Xianzhi more and more, the soldiers and horses in his hands were still good at fighting power in this battle. In particular, most of the three thousand soldiers and horses brought back from Songzhou were cavalry. Moreover, his subordinates, Shang Junchang, Chai Cun, Bi Shiduo, Cao Shixiong, Liu Yanzhang, Li Chongba, Wang Chongyin, Shang Rang, etc. were all powerful generals. Therefore, Huang Chao handed the right wing to Wang Xianzhi with confidence. No matter what, no matter how bad Wang Xianzhi is, it is better than the situation on the left wing.

Among the 20,000 troops on the right wing, Wang Xianzhi did not split the elite troops like Huang Chao and arranged them to the newly recruited soldiers below. Instead, he took some war horses from Huang Chao and finally picked up a group of hunters. He formed five thousand cavalry with his elite troops. The remaining 15,000 were almost recruited like the auxiliary troops, and there was not even a skilled officer. However, the equipment of these 5,000 people was not bad. Huang Chao took out a batch of equipment for Wang Xianzhi and asked him to arm all the five thousand new soldiers, each with at least a spear and a wooden shield, or a knife and a shield.

In addition to the front, middle, left and right four armies, Huang Chao also arranged for deputy general Meng Kai to lead the rear army. The rear army led by Meng Kai was an auxiliary army of up to 60,000 people. These people basically only had a sharpened wooden gun. There was nothing else except that.

Huang Chao's tactical arrangement was very simple and direct. He led the central army to continuously reinforce, and used the infantry on both wings to protect his central army, and used cavalry to protect both wings. At the same time, the horns of the coalition forces at the six towns at the foot of Juye Mountain also sounded the sound of trumpets, followed by the drums of war. One by one, one infantry battalion after another was launched, and the auxiliary soldiers in the official army, as many as 60,000 people were dispatched. The auxiliary soldiers of the official army were much stronger than the auxiliary soldiers of the drafting army. Although the auxiliary soldiers were not armored, each person was equipped with at least a spear, a wooden shield and a horizontal knife.

Compared with the simple equipment of the drafting army, the equipment of the official army is undoubtedly very luxurious. Among the 40,000 combat soldiers, there are a total of 10,000 cavalry, and among the 30,000 infantry, the equipment rate of bows and arrows reaches 12%. In particular, there is a ten crossbow battalions with up to 5,000 people. In addition to the bows, all of them are equipped with crossbows. At this time, these ten crossbow battalions were already concentrated and arranged into ten dense crossbow square formations, located behind the surprise soldiers holding large shields and spears and the jumping soldiers holding horizontal swords and round shields.

The two wings of the official army are composed of a large number of auxiliary soldiers, and these fragile auxiliary soldiers are protected by the two wings of six thousand cavalry. In addition, there are one thousand cavalry, which live in the rear, and they are mobile reserves on the battlefield.

Ten thousand official troops spread out continuously at the foot of Juye Mountain, with a formation of ten miles. Under the red battle flags, the six towns of officials were very neat, with many people but not chaotic, and everything was in order. The official army commanded the soldiers to run back and forth, quiet and solemnly. The soldiers' performance at this time showed their well-trained and professional army spirit!

After ten days of confrontation, both sides are no longer unfamiliar with each other. In the past ten days, neither armies have fought and have been concentrating on their strength. Now, the two armies have launched a decisive battle directly, and both sides are both highly morale. However, compared with the six town coalition forces, it is obvious that the momentum of the six town coalition forces is even higher.

Wang Xianzhi, on the right wing, saw the prosperous military appearance and morale of the official army, couldn't help but change his face slightly. Last time in the battle of Songzhou, the Zhenguo Army first lured them to besiege Yucheng. When he was exhausted from a long battle, he suddenly came from all directions and directly collapsed their morale. However, the Zhenguo Army had only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses that time. Now, 100,000 soldiers and horses stood face to face, and the overwhelming and continuous square formation, the flags were like seas, spears like forests, drums like thunder, and swords were as bright as snow, which made him feel his throat dry.

Before the battle, Wang Xianzhi was shaken: "It is impossible to win if he fights the official army head-on. The official army is well-trained and well-equipped, especially good at fighting. The six towns opposite are not the Tianping Army and the Taining Army. Four of the six towns have just returned from Daibei, and they have even defeated the Shatuo Yaer Army. Moreover, the six towns have added nearly half of the Shence Imperial Army! Just because of the newly recruited troops in our hands, it is probably difficult to fight against the 100,000 official troops."

His worried and fearful eyes looked at the yellow flags and six handsome flags from afar, and his heart became more and more worried.

"attack!"

A huge shout broke the dark clouds above the battlefield, and Huang Chao first issued an order to attack. The 40,000 troops of the Cao Army's front army began to move forward, implementing the central breakthrough tactic. Under the cover of 30,000 auxiliary soldiers, they rushed directly to the center of the opponent. Eighty infantry phalanxes finally gathered into a huge fish scale formation. In the slanting wind and drizzle, countless mud splashed.

Faced with the attack of the Cao Army, the official army also immediately fought. Countless commanders ran in front of the battle formation, conveying the battle order of commander Ximen Sigong. The central army of the official army did not move. As the flag continued to flutter, dozens of square formations located on both wings of the central army began to move. The two wings continued to advance, and gradually the entire formation stretched, forming a huge moon formation.

The battle began, and the two wings were the first to meet the enemy and face the two wings of the Cao Army. At this time, the Cao Army's front army also advanced directly and rushed towards the front of the static official army. For a moment, tens of thousands of people fought on the front line of more than ten miles, shouting and killing the sky.

At this moment, Zhuge Shuang smiled and shouted: "Babys, it's time for us to play!"

The sound of the road like thunder sounded, and the three thousand elite cavalrymen in the three towns that had been hiding on the left wing also began to advance.

At first, they trotted a little bit, and then gradually became a speeding spear. The three thousand elite cavalry quickly surpassed the frontier of the infantry. The overwhelming road was deafening, and the long cavalry rifles shone with white light. They rushed straight to the right wing of the Cao Army.

The Tang army's cavalry was dispatched, and for a moment, countless eyes on the battlefield looked here.

Wang Xianzhi looked at a cavalry running towards him, and his face changed drastically. Damn, has he become a soft persimmon now?

A commander arrived on horseback and walked to Wang Xianzhi, "The chief commander, the deputy chief commander, asked the chief commander to defend the right wing and fight to the death, and never retreat!"

Wang Xianzhi nodded to the commander with a blank expression and waited for the commander to go away. Chief Shang Jun immediately said to Wang Xianzhi: "Brother, Huang Chao has no kindness. As the commander of the grass army, the eldest brother was arranged by Huang Chao to the right wing. He was a deputy commander, but he was in charge of the commander of the central army. Now we only have this little force in our hands. The official army came to attack the right wing. Not only did he not send people to reinforce, he ordered us to fight the official army to the death and never retreat. What does he mean? He is going to kill people with a knife."

Wang Xianzhi gritted his teeth and did not speak, but his increasingly gray face showed that he was already very dissatisfied with Huang Chao. In the chaotic times, there was no weight to speak without soldiers. Since the defeat of Songzhou and Huang Chao, Wang Xianzhi knew this feeling very clearly and clearly. If he had even left the last thousands of elite brothers in his hands here, what if he won the battle, what would it be? Cao Jun was no longer his Wang Xianzhi's. At that time, Huang Chao might not even have the politeness on the surface.
