Please ask me to be the emperor

"Boom boom boom!"

"Whoosh!"

Along with bursts of thunder, raindrops as big as beans pounded down on the pockets, making the originally noisy battlefield seem silent for a while.

Groups of neat cavalry gradually appeared on the west bank of Zhuoshui River, like red devils, staring at Fanshan Fort and the rebels around Fanshan Fort from the northwest.

"Forty thousand, ten thousand?" Zhang Sanbai turned his head and looked at the Hauge and Duodu troops surrounding him in a crescent shape from the south gate and the east gate, and then looked at Yue Yue, who was eyeing him in the northwest of Zhuoshui. The people in charge couldn't help but smile.

"Prince Hao Ge of Su, Prince Duduo of Yu, plus Prince Cheng Yue Tuo, and three famous kings of Hou Jin Kingdom, Mrs. Hong really thinks highly of me!"

As soon as Zhang Sanbai said this, deputy commander Yang Guozhu, commander Bai Guangen and others couldn't help laughing.

In order to pass orders and prohibitions, Zhang Shun was extremely careful in arranging the generals under Zhang Sanbai on the left wing.

In addition to his own troops, there are also nine battalions of Yang Guozhu, Zhang Damou, Yang Chengzu, Jiang Xiang, Li Fuming, Luo Xiangqian, Huang Degong, Xian Guoan, and Bai Guangen.

Among the nine battalions, except for Yang Guozhu, who has a higher status, and Bai Guangen, a veteran general, the remaining seven are all people who can be controlled by Zhang Sanbai.

As for Yang Guozhu and Bai Guangen, one serves as Zhang Sanbai's deputy commander and the other serves as the guard commander of Fanshan Fort. Naturally, they have nothing to say.

On the one hand, he is able to direct things like an arm, and on the other hand, he is prepared in advance.

So what does thirty thousand versus fifty thousand? Zhang Sanbai is confident that he can withstand the enemy in person.

Crisis, crisis, only with danger can there be opportunity.

If 30,000 is compared with 3,000, if everyone can do it, how can I reveal my ability, Zhang Sanbai!

If the offense fails, then we must defend.

"Clatter, crash, crash!"

As the rain became heavier and heavier, Yue Tuo led his elite cavalry from the Ba Ya La camp and began to look for shallow water and wade across the Zhuoshui River.

The water volume of Zhuoshui is small, and the shallowest point is only three feet deep, which is just enough for riding a horse to wade through the water.

However, there was silt on the bottom of the river. After the Hou Jin Cavalry stepped into the water, it suddenly became one step deeper and one step shallower, making it difficult to pass quickly.

"Li Shi'an, look at this distance, can you take the opportunity to fire a few shots?" Zhang Sanbai wiped the rain from his eyes and couldn't help but order.

"Zhang Shuai, not only is the distance a bit far, but also there is too much rain, which will greatly affect the use of our artillery." Li Shi'an shook his head after hearing this.

"No, isn't the gunpowder wrapped in oil paper? How could it still be affected?" Zhang Sanbai didn't expect this to happen and couldn't help but frowned.

"It's true that our gunpowder is wrapped in oil paper, but it's just raining hard now, so it will be soaked to some extent. Even if it is not soaked, once it is opened, it will be easily watered by the rain!" Li Shi'an quickly explained.

"In fact, not only artillery, but also blunderbuss, fast guns, sharp guns, mines, grenades and other firearms cannot be used easily!"

"This" Zhang Sanbai suddenly looked a little ugly when he heard this.

To be honest, the quality of the soldiers of the rebel army was higher than that of the Ming army, but compared with the Houjin soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles, they were still half a step behind.

Previously, the reason why the rebel army was able to defeat the Hou Jin soldiers in consecutive battles was because of artillery, muskets and other firearms.

Now that the use of artillery and gunfire is restricted, the rebels are passive.

"It doesn't matter. Although the rain is not small, there is actually nothing we can do about it!" Deputy Commander Yang Guozhu shook his head when he heard this and said, "We can collect the oil-paper umbrellas in the army and distribute them to the loaders to avoid getting the gunpowder wet."

Obviously, the Ming army, which relied more on gunpowder weapons to fight, had considerable experience in dealing with such accidents.

"Okay, collect all the oil-paper umbrellas in the army as soon as possible and give priority to the artillerymen." Zhang Sanbai couldn't help but said with joy when he heard this, "In addition, order the soldiers to put on raincoats as soon as possible to prevent cold and disease."

"Teams without rain gear should rotate off the field in time and enter the camp outside the city to take shelter from the rain."

This 300 person is not Zhang Shun. Of course he doesn't know what "hypothermia" and "cold" are, but his years of life experience tells him that people will be unable to withstand being exposed to the rain for a long time.

In order to avoid non-combat attrition, he had to start shrinking the defense line.

Just as the rebels began to shrink their defense lines, Prince Cheng Yue Tuo met with Prince Su Hauge and Prince Yu Duduo.

"What's going on now?" he asked immediately.

"Well, that's the situation!" Prince Yu Duduo didn't tolerate him at all, but instead pursed his lips in the direction of Fanshan Fort.

"Tsk!" Yue Tuo looked at the almost crowded battlefield and couldn't help but ask, "You have all taken your positions, what do you want us to do?"

It turned out that there were 30,000 troops on the left wing of the rebel army and 40,000 troops under Hauge and Dorgon. A total of 70,000 troops were all crowded into the triangle area south of Zhuoshui River, east of Chiyou Spring, and west of Dongshan Mountain.

Although this area is flat and vast, the contact surface between the two sides is not very long.

Therefore, when the Yue Tuo tribe arrived, if they all crossed the river, they would only be able to line up in the northwest area of ​​the Duduo Army Formation and would not be able to join the battlefield at all.

"What should I do? Aren't there open spaces to the north and west of Fanshan Castle?" Hauge couldn't help but smile.

Because the marriage contract was overdue, Hauge and Duoduo complained a lot, so they didn't have a good attitude towards him.

Nima, when Prince Cheng Yue Tuo heard this, he just wanted to curse.

However, after thinking for a while, he finally reluctantly accepted the reality.

It's not that he is willing to take this breath, but it is the fact.

Now, this narrow area is filled with nearly 200,000 troops from both sides.

Even if Yue Tuo was extremely capable, he would not be able to get past Duduo and Hauge's troops to launch an attack on the rebel Fanshan Fort.

In this case, he could only avoid the southeast area of ​​Fanshan Fort and look for attack points from other places.

Soon, he really found the entry point.

"Reporting back to Prince Cheng, our army's scouts discovered that one of the 'Shun Bandits' camp was on the high plateau, which was quite empty; the other was that there was a gap between the high plateau and Fanshan Fort, about a mile or so, which was just right. Our army is attacking." Not long after, there was indeed a report from the scouts.

"It's raining heavily now, the roads are getting muddy, and the rivers are getting more difficult to cross." Na Yue Tuo said thoughtfully after hearing the words.

"In this case, please give me the king's order to divide our army into three battalions."

"One battalion stormed Fanshan Fort, another battalion waded across the river between Gaoyuan and Fanshan Fort to flank Fanshan Fort, and another battalion stormed the 'Shun Bandits' camp to surround Wei and rescue Zhao. I want to see the 'Shun Bandits' how to respond!"

As soon as Yue Tuo's troops moved, the rebels on the other side had a clear view of Fanshan Fort. Some soldiers reported to Zhang Sanbai: "Commander Zuo, the rebel troops are divided into three groups. Their swords are pointing at our Fanshan Fort and Fanshan Fort." The gap west of the hillfort and the rebel camp.”

"Oh?" Zhang Sanbai smiled when he heard this, "General Bai Guangen is responsible for the defense of Fanshan Fort."

"However, since Nian is short of men under his command, it is better to recruit 'Huang Chuangzi' to help him!"

"As for the rebel camp, just carry the flag bearer to warn King Shun. According to King Shun's thinking and methods, I'm afraid he has already sent people to garrison it, so there is nothing to fear."
