In the vast field dam between the rivers, only white water and rice piles remain.Some of the new buds that have just been emitted by rice piles look tender green from a distance, like the spring scenery.
On the sixth day of August, Wang Bin's vanguard's infantry and cavalry had crossed the Luoqing River from near Luorong County (northeast of Luorong Town, Luzhai County). On the morning of the seventh day of the dynasty, the vanguard finally caught up with the main force of Wu Gao's army coming from the northwest on a place called Shazhai on the north bank of the Liuhe River (Poliuli River).
This place is located between Liuzhou Fucheng and Pinglefucheng.
Wang Bin led a team of cavalry to circle the south of a lake with lotus roots, passed through a forest, and rushed out of the forest first.The cavalry soldiers suddenly sighed in surprise.
To the east of the woods, there are wide paddy fields, and the buds from the rice piles look like a large area of light green from a distance; and in the distance of the rice fields, there are countless figures on the horizon, as if they are covered with the entire horizon!
The general said: The King of Han mentioned earlier that Wu Gao had 100,000 people.At first glance, it seems to be more than 100,000!
Wang Bin's horse stood there, shaking slowly from time to time.He sat on the horse's back and stared in the distance, observing carefully from left to right.
According to the scout, in addition to the Liuhe River, there should be a small river nearby.
Wang Bin looked at it for a while and found that there was a place in the east, where people there seemed to be crossing the river.
It's too far away and I can't see clearly. There may be a bridge on the surface of the small river, but the enemy is marching in several columns, and more people should be wading across the river.
Wang Bin pondered: After Wu Gaojun crossed this small river, he walked several miles southeast, and then continued to the east, and then he could go up to the official road from Liuzhou Prefecture to Pingyue Prefecture.There are large areas of mountains and forests in the north and south of the road, but the road in the middle is wide and flat...
He paused for a moment, then raised his arm, pointed to the southeast and said: You can bypass a large rice field by walking here, and the army can quickly advance to the west bank of the river.Wu Gao must be prepared too. Take a closer look. Many people walked over there and stopped, which must be to guard against us.
The followers and generals said one after another: The governor is wise!
Wang Bin's fierce round eyes lit up immediately. The first battle is mine!I want to attack Wu Gao from here.
At this time, a voice beside him said: Governor Wang, be careful!The Han Wang's military orders ordered the king and the governor to follow and monitor only and not fight in a vain.Now Wu Gao's army has many soldiers and a wide range of generals. Our vanguard is insufficient, so the governor of the king must be very cautious.
Wang Bin turned to look at the person who was talking and turned out to be a familiar civil servant.The civil servant has a bad face, dark yellow skin and high cheekbones, and his name is Pei Youzhen.
Pei Youzhen used to be a clerk in the Changshi Mansion, doing some copying and writing.
Wang Bin knew him in Wenlou, the Wenlou of the Han Palace.
At that time, Qian Xun and others from the Changshi Mansion were ordered to teach the soldiers to read and read in Wenlou; however, later the officials were sent to do other things, so the teaching staff used some low-level scholars to temporarily replace them.
Anyway, everyone just wants to read a word, and there is no need for a very well-educated person.
Among them is the clerk Pei Youzhen, who Wang Bin would meet him from time to time in Wenlou.
After the Han King raised his army, the army grew rapidly and was short of people in many positions.
I don’t know how Pei Youzhen came to the army. Anyway, he is now a civil servant who is a military counselor, participating in checking military orders and drafting a list for writing.
Wang Bin knew his background, so he looked at him with his eyes slanted for a while, and said: There is Sheng Yong's army in the south, and the prince's army in the north.Then Wu Gao didn't hurry and ran away, and he dared to stay and deal with us?If he delays a little, he will be dragged here and besieged by two armies. I am still the most important thing!
Pei Youzhen looked back and forth, and the military generals around him were looking at him at this moment.Pei Youzhen said seriously: The subordinates only reminded the prince to the governor based on the prince's military order.
Wang Bin shouted: I am the vanguard leader and was appointed by the prince!The fighter plane is right in front of me. Can I be as timid as Wu Gao?He then said to Pei Youzhen, you don’t understand the battle formation.In the current situation, Wu Gao just wants to use a group of people behind the palace to block us so that the main force can escape!
All the generals agreed and agreed to do something!
Wang Bin immediately pointed to the southeast road with a horse whip and shouted: All the generals obeyed the orders and immediately led their troops to set up their formations and prepare for attack!
Get order!Everyone answered one after another.There was a noise around the woods, and the sound of horse hooves sounded nearby again.
After a while, the infantry and cavalry of the Han Wang Army vanguard walked out of a forest south of the lake one after another.
There were also columns of men on the road outside the woods.
The road was filled with dust, and the sound of people and horses was noisy.
The sound of drums and horns seemed to be urging the soldiers.
Even though there were only more than 10,000 vanguards, when they gathered together to move, countless flags were floating in the south wind, and the formation was very large.
Between the two large rice fields in the north and south, the official road and a large area of dry land, there are more and more people and horses.
The sound of horse hooves and a few trotting infantry columns rumbled; the sound of infantry marching in line and the neat footsteps of the four fields were shaking.
The southeast direction along the official road, there were also noisy drums and roars in the distance, and the enemy troops on the west bank of the nameless river were also setting up formations to prepare for war!
There is a small hillside forest directly opposite the official road; there is a village in the south of the forest, all under the control of the official army.
The official guards were deployed in the west of the forest and the village, facing the direction of the Han Wangjun's army...
Wang Bin and others rode out of the woods and came to the vegetable field next to the official road.The generals gathered over to report various military information.
At this time, Wang Bin shouted: If we break the enemy army on the river bank, we can threaten Wu Gao's army to make him unable to live a peaceful life day and night!Make great contributions and receive great rewards!
The soldiers shouted, making the whole place even more lively.
Wang Bin rode a horse and ran from the left wing of the army, shouting loudly from time to time to boost morale.
Suddenly Pei Youzhen shouted behind Wang Bin: The King of Han is the legitimate son of the late emperor, the legitimate Prince of the Ming Dynasty!The anti-crime army did not violate the people of all over the country, but was falsely accused of being a traitor by the pseudo-emperor. Is there any traitor like us?
The nearby soldiers were suddenly in an uproar and started to yell.
After hearing this, Wang Bin gradually showed a smile on his face. It was obvious that Pei Youzhen no longer opposed him, but also changed his attitude and was helping him incite the morale of the army.
You are fighting bloody battles for the people of the world. Your reputation cannot be slandered. Brothers, let the people of the world see us. We are loyal and brave men!Pei Youzhen shouted generously.
Loyalty and courage!Loyalty and courage... Countless soldiers shouted, and the people and horses in the distance also shouted.On the dusty flat official road, the momentum is even greater...
On the west bank of the river opposite, the officers and soldiers were not willing to give in. In the midst of the noise, bursts of shouts came from the wind.
After a long time, the vanguard of Han King's vanguard, the Thousand Corps and Hundred Houses, finally set up the infantry formation one after another, and the cavalry slowly moved on the side and behind.The infantry camps on both sides are less than one mile apart!
boom!The sound of cannons suddenly rang.
On the green southeast land, white smoke rose one after another, and shells of iron and stone roared in the air.
The originally clear and quiet wilderness has become turbulent at this time.
Wang Bin braved the cannonballs flying over from the air and rode his horse to the front.
He looked at the enemy camp opposite and turned to say: There were more than a dozen cannons on the front of the enemy, so he must have filled the gravel iron balls, waiting to bombard the infantry we were going to get up.
He shouted immediately, and ordered the right-wing cavalry to prepare!He turned to look at the commander of Lu Liangwei Chen Zhen, and said that the general personally led the cavalry to take the lead. General Chen temporarily led the vanguard's military power and attacked as agreed.
Get order!
Wang Bin turned around and ran towards the cavalry and horses in the south.
Among the cavalry, a large area of wide-eaved iron helmets tied with gray and white linen cloth was like snowflakes.
Among them, the three red, blue and green horses were particularly conspicuous. Each of the cavalry had dozens of cavalry with pennants on their backs, and the formation was distinguished in three colors.
Wang Bin summoned the cavalry commanders and everyone discussed for a while.
When the cavalry teams jogged one after another and crossed the front of the infantry phalanx, the closest place between the two armies was less than 200 steps apart!
That enemy infantry formation was on the gentle slope on the west side of the woods on the small river bank, and it was the protruding front end of the entire enemy camp.The enemy infantry and cavalry on both sides were deployed outside the woods and outside the village.
The cannons kept ringing, and their vision was quickly affected by dust and gunpowder. The scenery was not as clear as before.
The cavalryman Mali neighed the horses and the strange screams of the man's voices becoming sharper.
Wang Bin adjusted the tightness of the gun rod he held in his hand, and suddenly raised the cherry gun diagonally and shouted: Kill!
The King of Han is our king!kill!Kill... More than a thousand cavalry soldiers shouted, their screams were very crazy, as if inexplicably filled with extreme fear and anger, and countless war horses quickly accelerated.
The horse's hooves stepped on the dirt road, wrapped in thick dust, and rushed straight towards the front.
Dozens of red flags appeared and loomed in the dust in front of them, and they quickly dispersed and continued to run.In a short while, the Cavalry Bingfeng had reached fifty or sixty steps in front of the enemy's formation.
boom!boom!Boom... The flashing balls of fire are even more dazzling than the sun.Amid the deafening sound of cannons, countless trivial stones and iron balls flew into the air.
Ah… Occasionally, a rider screamed and fell to the ground with a thump.
The enemy's phalanx gradually advanced a few steps forward, with dense guns, shields and spears facing the front like a dense forest.
In an instant, the smoke from the cannons was slightly thinner by the wind, and the Red Flag Cavalry outside the smoke had already detoured northward.
The cavalry of the Han Wang Army turned and ran straight north.
The arrows behind the enemy's infantry formation were then shot out in waves.The rushing sound of horse hooves, strings and shouts on the battlefield were roaring.
In the northwest, several large arrays of infantry in the King of Han Army were promoted in the shape of finished characters, and were a hundred steps away.
On the sixth day of August, Wang Bin's vanguard's infantry and cavalry had crossed the Luoqing River from near Luorong County (northeast of Luorong Town, Luzhai County). On the morning of the seventh day of the dynasty, the vanguard finally caught up with the main force of Wu Gao's army coming from the northwest on a place called Shazhai on the north bank of the Liuhe River (Poliuli River).
