Please ask me to be the emperor

When Shaanxi Commander-in-Chief Zuo Guangxian led the cavalry on the battlefield, Zhang Shun couldn't help but be surprised.

Just as Zhang Shun expected, the officers and soldiers appeared on the left side of the rebel army, that is, to the south of Huayin City, close to the side of Huashan.

Because the topography of Huayin City is mountains on the right and water on the left, it is high on the right and low on the left. From the foothills of Huashan Mountain to the north to the banks of the Wei River, the terrain gradually decreases.

Zuo Guangxian led the cavalry to occupy the side near Huashan, naturally in order to take advantage of the higher terrain of the area and take advantage of the situation to rush towards the rebel army formation.

These were all within Zhang Shun's expectations, but what he didn't expect was that there were so many officers, soldiers and cavalry coming.

Originally, Zhang Shun thought that there would be three thousand officers and soldiers who came to the rescue, even if Zuo Guangxian was more capable.

The Art of War says: Roll up your armor and rush forward, stay at home day and night, travel multiple routes at the same time, and strive for profit for a hundred miles, then capture the three generals; the strong one goes first, and the tired one follows. General, half of his methods are achieved; if he fights for advantage within thirty miles, two-thirds of them are achieved.

It would be seventy miles from Huazhou to Huayin. It would be good if half of the officers and soldiers who came to support could arrive on time.

Zuo Guangxian had a total of more than 10,000 people under his command. After deducting the 2,000 people in Huayin and leaving another 2,000 to garrison in Huazhou, Zuo Guangxian could only use 6,000 people.

Excluding the stragglers along the way, it is estimated that only 3,000 officers and soldiers arrived.

However, due to the large number of cavalry under Zuo Guangxian's command, in order to support Huayin as soon as possible, a total of 5,000 cavalry were dispatched this time, catching Zhang Shun off guard.

However, Zhang Shun is not a vegetarian. After discovering the movements of Zuo Guangxian's cavalry, he decided to advance the front line, press Huayin City, and force Zuo Guangxian to fight the rebels when his officers and soldiers were exhausted.

How could Zuo Guangxian not know Zhang Shun's plan? If he came all the way to avoid fighting, wouldn't it make the already panic-stricken soldiers in the city even more frightened?

If the guerrilla general Zhao Guangyuan could not hold on and surrendered the "shun thieves" in front of him, then how could Zuo Guangxian have the face to lead these more than 10,000 troops?

It should be noted that since the emergence of the governor system in the Ming Dynasty, the power to command the general army has been almost non-existent. Except for the past two years, when the veteran general Cao Wenzhao returned to his glory and served as the "supervisor of the generals", no military generals had such treatment.

Zuo Guangxian was able to lead these more than 10,000 troops. In addition to the captured governors of the five provinces, Hong Chengchou, the governor of Shaanxi, Gan Xuekuo, who knew no soldiers, and the new governor of the three sides, Liang Tingdong, was fully on guard against the troops of the Hou Jin Dynasty. Only he took the lead. day.

If he had not followed the authority urgently, Zuo Guangxian, the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi Province, would have had a somewhat unfair reputation.

Zuo Guang shuddered after thinking about what would happen if he let the rebels take Huayin City face to face again.

"Attack! Pressure the thieves' left wing!" Zuo Guang frowned before shouting an order.

Not long after, the officers and soldiers separated into more than a thousand cavalry and took advantage of the terrain to gallop.

"Ha!" Zhang Shun saw this and said disdainfully: "If we fight for a hundred miles, we will capture the three generals. The officers and soldiers are already at the end of their war effort, so what should they be afraid of?"

Hearing this, Gao Guiying immediately repeated: "The officers and soldiers are at the end of their war effort, so what should they be afraid of?"

The other generals were stunned when they heard this, and immediately ordered the soldiers to shout in unison.

In fact, it is not easy to shout in unison. Fortunately, the rebels have used this method many times to boost their morale. Therefore, some soldiers were selected early and taught how to shout.

One person calls, and hundreds of people follow. Hundreds of people shout and thousands of people follow. Repeatedly, the calls suddenly gathered together, and the sound shook the sky. With the help of the power of Huashan, the sound rolled and echoed continuously, just like the order from the nine heavens!

The officers and soldiers immediately turned pale when they looked at each other. Zuo Guangxian's expression changed, and he couldn't help but order: "What a thief, but he has some moral integrity! Generals, listen to my order and attack the thief immediately without further ado!"

Originally, he wanted to cause some harassment and boost the morale of the city. He and others could rest some power before making further plans.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Shun quickly discovered the falsehood of the officers and soldiers, and Zuo Guangxian, the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi Province, had to use offense as defense.

As long as we can defeat the enemy in front of us, it won't be too late in the future! Zuo Guangxian also knew that today was not the time to defeat the enemy, so he had to silently recite the purpose of this time, for fear that he would miss a major event due to greed.

"Send the order to Zuo Jun Bai Guangen to change the formation!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but shouted loudly when he saw that the officers and soldiers had been fooled.

The Art of War says: I want to fight, but even if the enemy has high forts and deep ditches, those who have no choice but to fight me must attack their places and save them. This was an upright conspiracy, and Zuo Guangxian had no choice but to make other choices.

The Baiguang En tribe is located in the south and is using the red Suzaku flag.

As soon as he saw the movements of the officers and soldiers, he knew that he was about to receive a military order. Bai Guangen turned his head and looked around, only to see the Chinese army's banner shaking, and then a vermilion flag was raised and waved according to the agreed flag language.

Bai Guangen quickly ordered: "Scatter into five formations to capture the enemy. Each formation quickly lays out horses, caltrops and mines. The other muskets and artillery are loaded with explosives to wait for the enemy!"

After hearing the order, the Baiguang'en Department suddenly bloomed like a plum blossom. With Lieutenant Commander Baiguang'en as the core, four small square formations were formed in all directions.

These five phalanxes are all small hollow phalanxes, with loaded artillery set up on the outermost periphery, followed by muskets, riflemen, archers, and then a phalanx composed of long gunners. .

Inside the phalanx are hidden ammunition and baggage, as well as the director who directs the battle and the axemen who are ready to rush out for hand-to-hand combat at any time.

The first group of cavalry officers and soldiers quickly arrived in front of the rebel formation, but they did not pick up their spears and sabers and launch a fearless charge towards the rebel formation as many people imagined.

Instead, he screamed strangely and waved the lasso, preparing to lasso the rebel horses deployed by the rebels, drag them to the ground, and clear the way for the cavalry behind them to charge.

However, when they approached the place where they could trap the horse, something seemed to lightly trip the horse's leg, and then there was a loud noise.

Suddenly, the officers and soldiers fell on their backs and became confused.

"Landmine! It's a thieves' mine!" The officers and soldiers realized how powerful this thing was and couldn't help but shout.

Yes, there are already gunpowder weapons like landmines in this era. When Zhang Shun saw these physical objects and related information, he couldn't believe his eyes. He almost thought someone had traveled through time and changed history.

Similar to Zhang Shun's "mine warfare" in his previous life, various types of landmines such as ignition-fired, pull-fired, tripped, and machine-fired mines also appeared in this era.

In particular, the principle of machine-launched landmines with "fired steel wheels" is almost the same as that of later generations of landmines that rely on stepping on to cause explosions.

After Zhang Shun got this kind of object, he immediately had many ideas about its uses.

This time, thousands of mines of various types were specially made and loaded on vehicles for use against the cavalry of officers and soldiers.

The trip mines used this time were mostly made of hollowed stones. The station is arranged in front of the predetermined battlefield. Once the enemy cavalry approaches, the mines will explode and disrupt the formation of the officers and soldiers.

Sure enough, as Zhang Shun expected, he was hit like this. Although there was no big loss, the officers and soldiers couldn't help but turn their horses and fled back.

I will work overtime at 4 o'clock tomorrow morning. The author has to go to bed early in the evening. There is only one chapter today. Please forgive me.
