Shao Song

Vol 2 Chapter 41: Riding

   At noon, the two armies were twenty miles apart.

But more than half an hour later, as the two armies move forward in the sequence of marching, they are only fifteen or six miles apart. It can only be said that the distance of twenty miles will add six to the tens of thousands of troops on both sides. For all the people, it is not too far away.

And the closer the distance means two things at the same time, that is, the increase in the frequency of information acquisition on both sides, and the increase in the difficulty of information acquisition... There is no contradiction between the two, because the frequency of engagement between the two sentry The level of blood is also rising linearly.

   In other words, the two sides have actually started outposts.

   Back to the front, for Yue Fei, the new information naturally gave him a mixed feeling:

The worry is that in such a battle of advancing but not retreating, Li Cheng also realized the problem and did not waver, and this means that today will inevitably be a battle of bloodshed, wounds and deaths in a short period of time. , Even the winner has to pay a considerable price.

Fortunately, with the continuous exchange of sentry and horsemen, Yue Fei learned that although Li Cheng's troops were almost two in the former army headquarters of the imperial camp, the neatness of the troops also implied considerable training and military discipline, but no matter how the troops were The level of sharpness and equipment of the army is far less than that of the imperial army... The sentry clearly stated that the number of iron armors behind the puppet Qi army has been drastically reduced, replaced by troops wearing leather armor, and finally there are a considerable number of troops. Unarmored troops are like civilian husbands.

This is reasonable and reasonable. After all, Jingdong is a place with a rich population and a large population. Even if Li Cheng searches thoroughly like the dead Kong Yanzhou, he has to raise soldiers, raise scholars, and pay money. People who change horses will definitely have shortcomings.

   Insufficient armor and different forces in combat power are a fundamental flaw.

   Of course, at the same time, Li Cheng is also a bit mixed:

Naturally, I am happy to find that the opponent has fewer troops, especially the cavalry. I have more than 10,000 horses, but the opponent has only three or four thousand horses. Of course, the worry is that the opponent’s morale is like a rainbow, the formation is tight, and the armor rate is so high... …If the sentinel is right, then the armor rate of the imperial battalion horse in front of him is almost second only to that of the imperial squad he encountered on the battlefield of Wushan that day.

   However, this force has about 20,000.

   "Master!"

   As soon as the horse leaped from the front, he immediately faced each other. "The sentry rider said that the Zhao Song Yuying soldiers in front of them were playing the Yue character flag. Isn't it a scam? According to the statement on the Dibao, shouldn't Yue Fei come so fast? I saw only 20,000 soldiers and horses... It was installed by Zhang Jun!"

   "It must be Yue Fei." Li Cheng's expression was serious, and he retreated in place. "Others can't put up such a posture, and there are not so many and neat iron-clad sergeants, that is, Yue Fei. Like me, they are willing to throw all the money into the army."

   "There are fewer officials from Zhao Song to fight horses, so naturally there are more iron armors." That will wake up, but I will ask again soon. "Lord, since it is Yue Fei... is it really going to fight? Such a posture, once it collapses, it will be a situation where all the games are lost. At that time, in accordance with that rudimentary language, retreat to Hebei, what should we do if we have no capital? ?"

Li Cheng immediately furious: "Geng Er, the war is before, you don't want Haosheng to win this battle, but instead you want to lose and go to Hebei?! How terrible is the size of the eyes? He is here at this time, isn't it right? A tired teacher? We are not worthy of returning to a teacher!"

Then Geng Er, the so-called leader of the rebels, Geng Jian, who was conquered by Li Cheng on the southern road in Hebei in the early years, bowed his head immediately after hearing this, and then reined his horse and hovered on the ground again before asking: "If this is the case, the lord Is there a military order?"

Li Cheng became more and more angry: "In such a situation, there is nothing more than cavalry standing on the left and right, holding the infantry and standing forward. How can there be any military orders? There are military orders, and only one sentence... You must order, you must not retreat! You must not leave the headquarters without permission. !"

   Geng Jian didn't dare to say any more, he turned back and went to the front army. After Li Cheng became very angry, he became a little nervous, but he looked at the two generals beside him, one called Xu Wen and the other Guo Zhongwei.

Among them, Xu Wen is a native of Jingdong Mizhou (currently from Rizhao to Gaomi, Shandong). He also seized one side. He was regarded as a small semi-independent force on the Mizhou side. However, after the Yaoshan War, the world was shaken, and the people's mindset was once again upset Now, Mizhou has already been fully grasped by Zhang Jun in a way of wooing and persuading him to surrender, but this person is ambitious. Notwithstanding the fact that the old brother of Mizhou Li Kui and Yizhou local tyrants, Wu Cheng, are almost always acting alone. Li Cheng... Originally, he thought he could take over the remaining Mizhou soldiers in Li Cheng's hands of Du Yan and Wu Shun, but he unexpectedly became a general guard of the opponent's side.

   And Guo Zhongwei is a hero on the Huai River. In the past, Li Cheng was one of the regained brothers when he was wandering. He was the guard general at the beginning.

And these two people, I don’t know if they are more popular this year or how they are. Like Guan Sheng, the general officer murdered by Liu Yu in Jinan Prefecture, they are both nicknamed'Big Swords'... Xu Wen is nicknamed Xu Dadao and Guo Zhongwei is nicknamed Guo Dadao. , The two big swords are in charge of Li Chengbu's long-sword cavalry, which is worthy of the name.

  Ping Su Li, Li Cheng compared with Cao Cao Dianwei and Xu Chu in the script.

Not to gossip, Li Cheng scolded Geng Jian, and then twirled the two big knives next to him, but he hesitated... The reason is simple. He wanted to send someone to supervise the battle, but he didn't know who to use. .

  In other words, every family has sutras that are difficult to recite.

At this time, not talking about the specific situation of the battlefield, just talking about the hastily built Li Chengjun, like all the emerging warlords in the chaotic period in history, formed factions... and most of the factions are basically around foreign and local regions. Divided by the dispute.

Li Cheng is a native of Hebei, who was in the Jingkang turmoil. He traveled south from Hebei, then took a lap in Huai Shang, and finally settled on Jingdong and established a foundation in Jingdong. Therefore, his army can be roughly divided into Hebei exile brothers. Two factions with JD local giants.

In fact, in all fairness, Li Cheng claims to be a hero, and he is also very good at managing the army and taking people. He treats the soldiers, he does not eat the soldiers, he does not eat, the soldiers do not sleep, he does not sleep, and the marching rain is the first to get wet. People of the rain, who are in command of the army, have never been afraid to go to battle in person; dealing with these leaders, he can usually undress, push and eat, and then reward and penalize, and use them fairly.

They are really two bastards, Dasong and Dajin. I don’t want to give this opportunity. Otherwise, he can knead a force and become a great ancestor-like figure at this time. It’s like hiding in Tokyo city at this time. A certain official in here, think the whole Sejo would be difficult?

But on the other hand, since the hero depends on the current situation, then the current situation is not good, Li Cheng naturally has no choice...Daijin is a strong soldier and a strong horse, and Da Song has a lot of land adults, not to mention this person, it is really a Liu Bang at this time. Come here, I can't help but honestly become the head of a local loyalty society in Huaibei.

   By the same reason, Li Cheng is a real hero, but the current situation does not allow him to be presumptuous.

Within a few months, the rumors of rapprochement started again. From that time on, the generals and troops from JD.com were a little bit overwhelmed. Later, the rapprochement was not concealed, but the Jinren was quite real, and directly asked for permission. The success rate of part of the elite troops returned north, and Li Cheng was formally granted the status of hereditary Meng'an, the badge of marching tens of thousands of households, and the conditions for stationing in Dezhou and Dizhou... As a result, even the hearts of the Hebei people in the team were somewhat distracted.

   The world has been in chaos for several years, and seeing that major things cannot be achieved, instead there is a situation where the North and the South stand side by side. How about going home and being a government official?

Frankly speaking, at that time, even Li Cheng was almost desperate under the general situation. For the previous two months, he had been talking to the Jinren about conditions. The so-called hope to maintain more independence and retain more troops. Divide more sites or something.

   However, where does the golden man give him so much face? After all, it is impossible for him to pass the example of the founding general of the Kingdom of Jin and Wang Bolong of the Han Chinese.

   Yanjing and the Daming Mansion marching were just killed. Ten thousand people were organized and incorporated into the Daming Mansion's marching department system, and they were ordinary hereditary and marching tens of thousands.

   So Li Cheng went to Jinan under the even more frightened Liu Yu's call, saying that the two dead men wanted to die and break the net. Taking advantage of Yue Feiren's not in the Jeju defense zone, he took the initiative to start a war and make a big news.

   However, if they are engaged in the military, the golden men are not vegetarians. How can they be allowed to be moths? Nianhan is dead, and a bunch of thousands of founding families are still alive. Gao Jingshan received a reminder from Ulin Tazanmo and sent tens of thousands of Hulu to supplement Qingqi crossing the river. He almost captured Liu Yu in the form of a coup, and he will just pretend to be Li Cheng, who was present, was under control.

   And this, it’s back to that old topic, and I have to mention again the sorrow of Li Cheng and Liu Yu:

   On strength, they are not without strength.

In terms of level, Li Cheng’s military level is recognized by both Jin and Song. The raising of soldiers is even more comparable to that of Yue Fei. His personal virtue is better than ten Zhang Jun and Zhang Boying. As an emperor, Liu Yu is also said to be conscientious and conscientious in his search for money. They all flattered the nobles of the Kingdom of Jin and favored scholars. They have always been like Zhao Song officials. They also wear luxurious cotton cloth, eat ice cream and drink Lanqiao Fengyue, but Liu Yu often only wears linen and learns the spirit. The monks of Jiu Temple eat vegetarian food.

   But the problem is that the Zhao Song official's attitude is so decisive, it is impossible to tolerate them, and Liu Yu's dead son is even more evident. Therefore, no matter how helpless, no matter how much regret, they would not dare to oppose the golden man as a last resort.

   Only the other way around, isn’t Zhang Jun suddenly launching a raid?

Although Lubu did not get the exact words from the famous mansion, as an old-fashioned military commander, he has not suffered defeat in previous wars. This man has the right to be dictatorial to Jinan, but it is not easy to negotiate peace. Li Cheng took the opportunity to persuade him to send him back to fight.

   Not only that, but Lubu even took the initiative to send out a reorganized Meng'an, plus the two thousand cavalrymen of Liu Yu’s Jinan Prefecture, all dressed up as golden men, and came together.

   Things turned around. The local heroes of JD.com in the army did indeed return to their teachers. They were enthusiastic about fighting, but the old brothers in the past seemed a little perfunctory.

Back in front of him, Li Cheng took his horse forward slowly, following Guo Dadao, who was born in Huainan for a long time, and Xu Dadao, who came from Jingdong but came late... After thinking about it for a long time, I knew I couldn’t delay it, but it was after all. Gitted his teeth and clicked on one of them:

   "Xu Dadao!"

   "The end is here!" Xu Wen leaped over with a long-handled broadsword in his hand.

   "You lead two hundred long-sword soldiers, and the cavalry from Jinan Prefecture will divide you by one thousand. Go into the gap between the left wing and the Chinese army. Do you know how to do it?" Li Cheng looked grim.

   "I know!" Xu Wen answered boldly. "After the fight, get stuck on a line, retreat and cut the latter! If necessary, lead the troops to rush up and succeed in one fell swoop! If there is a loss in front of the left wing, the warlord shall take over the left wing first!"

"go with!"

   "Hey!"

  In the Chinese cavalry formation at the center of the rear of the army, they dispersed in half.

After all, it is a battle that determines life and death. Li Cheng ordered to continue, but he was still a little uneasy. The thing he worries most about this battle is actually very simple, that is, in the current overall situation, some generals in the army will inevitably be shaken, afraid to wait. There will be people who can't support it in the **** battle.

Therefore, thinking left and right, as the troops moved forward a little, he ordered again, but it was adjusted to facilitate the dispatching. So the cavalry was divided into two, and the cavalry was lined up on the left and right. He was sent out and placed on the right wing.

   In other words, when he was less than ten miles away from the enemy, he finally chose the final formation...but it was a classic conservative array of two-winged cavalry, middle infantry, elite armor in the front, and weak soldiers in the rear.

   "Master." Guo Dadao seemed to have some thoughts when he saw this, but he took the initiative to squeeze him forward after his master gave the order. "Although this arrangement can be considered appropriate, you have to care about the terrain... This is our place. Don’t the lord know the terrain? The marching road in the middle is okay, but there are some hills on both sides, and the cavalry is the charge. When I get up, I'm afraid the combat power is limited."

   How can I not know?

   Li Cheng cursed secretly in his heart... His formation is basically for the cavalry force he can directly control to hold the infantry brigade in the middle! It is a conservative tactic to prevent the middle infantry from dispersing as much as possible!

   But I couldn’t say this. In desperation, Li Cheng could only wave his hand: "Old Guo doesn’t understand, I know it!"

   Guo Dadaoben also tried his best to mention a sentence, so naturally he was speechless when he saw it.

   After a while, as the Li Chengbu cavalry mobilized, Yue Fei heard the sentinel, but his heart moved slightly, but he still didn't make unnecessary reactions. He waited until Li Chengbu completed the cavalry formation on the left and right wing on the march... he suddenly ordered the summoning of Tian Shizhong, Zhang Xian, Wang Gui, Tang Huai and other major generals.

   At this time, the two sides are actually only seven or eight miles apart.

"The fighter plane has already appeared, and I already know the way to break the enemy." Yue Fei reined in the army, with seven or eight generals standing in front of him, and the Yue character Shuai flag was erected behind him. The soldiers and horses behind him met this side. After the banner, it will be like water meets a rock, naturally two points, and continue to move forward. "Li Cheng relied on a lot of cavalry, and actually placed the cavalry on the mountain on both sides, and the infantry on the middle road... We did the opposite, divided the infantry into two, and faced the cavalry on the left and right, but the cavalry united and put In the middle, the front is at his heart!"

   The generals looked at each other, knowing that this was the final decision and could not be delayed, but they nodded one after another... In fact, in order to facilitate the march and to protect the precious cavalry, the current marching route was originally arranged in this way.

   Therefore, everyone also realized that Yue Fei must have other words.

And sure enough, after Yue Fei said this, he squinted his eyes and stared at one of them: "General Tian! There is one thing you can only do... I've said it beforehand. With this military order, you will definitely think I am I'm using you as a gully to consume Zhang Taiwei's confidant with malicious intent... But that's the case, you have to grit your teeth to do it, because your department is indeed the most elite of the pawns! If you don't do it, I will use military skills. Dispose of!"

  Tianshi was silent for a while, but it seemed to be normal, and then he handed over to each other: "They are all veterans, if Taiwei Yue is really malicious, I will know...So, even if Taiwei Yue ordered it."

   Yue Fei nodded slightly: "I want you to go to the front of the left wing! Directly oppose the cavalry brigade on the south side of the thief army on the side with the Jurchen cavalry in the mountains!"

Tianshi Lieutenant Commander exhaled, and frankly agreed: "As the Taiwei said, our army is the number one infantry in the army, and we have fought the golden cavalry head-on, and the Taiwei responded to the enemy's strategy. There is nothing to say...Say it like this, on the mountain, our team can fight, and I will never refuse!"

Yue Fei nodded slightly, then shook his head again: "I haven't finished talking...I want General Tian's headquarters to speed up immediately, and first to highlight each other with the enemy cavalry brigade on the south side of the mountain! The rest, from south to north, slow down in turn. The marching speed, the diagonal array is connected with the enemy!"

   Master Tian looked up in shock, staring at Yue Fei silently.

   And Yue Fei just opened his own big and small eyes to greet the other party: "I have something to say, quickly speaking...can't delay!"

   "The lieutenant asked me to die?" Tian Shizhong breathed heavily.

   "Yes! The front line of this battle will inevitably suffer heavy losses. If you stand out alone, you will die more!" Yue Fei replied abruptly. "But when you serve as a soldier and eat food, are you still afraid of death?!"

Tian Shizhong’s mouth twitched for a while, not knowing what he was thinking, but after a while, he turned directly on his horse, reined his horse and turned around, and then immediately shouted and shouted: “Prince, if this is the case, but you can’t win all. I just gave up my life, and I have to cry in front of the official house, and wipe out the credit for most of your work in the south for more than half a year!"

   After saying this, Tian Shizhong didn't wait for Yue Fei's words, so he turned around.

Two quarters of an hour later, Tian Shizhong led the Imperial Army’s Beiwei Army, which was the 3,000 heavy-armored long axe infantry whose father-in-law’s life was like, and took the lead in fighting the face-to-face cavalry. As soon as the two sides fought, they were in the narrow Enter the cruelest hand-to-hand combat on the battlefield.

   armor, war horses, limbs, and blood plasma began to be thrown onto the hills of central Shandong in an instant.

  The most elite troops on both sides, the kind that is usually put on the last to be the winner, but they start to consume each other as soon as they come up. However, thanks to the sudden and prominent countercharge in the middle of the Tianshi, Li Cheng's idea of ​​using cavalry to hold the infantry was shattered. Tens of thousands of pawns, when the two sides had already engaged in a large-scale battle, were unable to control and command them at all, but they continued to follow the inertia of the military formation and continued westward along the flat road.

At this time, all the cavalrymen of Yue Fei's Central Army, that is, the four thousand people dominated by the Beiwei Army, also gathered at the Beiwei Army led by Zhang Xian, one mile away from the frontline Li Chengbu infantry, but they were At a speed that is completely incompatible with the cavalry marching speed, the tortoise advances slowly.

Under the banner of Zhang Zi, Yang Zaixing, who saw this kind of fighting scene for the first time, was wearing double-layered iron armor, riding a big horse that Yue Fei personally gave him, carrying a big iron gun, and taking dozens of steps forward. After looking at the situation on the battlefield on the south side of the front left, he couldn't help gasping for breath, and then trembled all over.

  He is not afraid, but excited...Some people, as if they were born for the battlefield in the first place.

   Behind him, Zhang Xian and Guo Jin, who are neatly dressed and experienced in combat, are also panting, and then reining in their horses to move forward slowly. Contrary to Yang Zaixing, these two people are really cautious and nervous. It is prudence rather than hesitation, tension rather than fear... The reason for this is because they have rich experience in the battlefield, and they know very well the result of such a face-to-face collision on flat ground wrapped in narrow and rugged terrain.

   Sacrifice is inevitable anymore, the victory or defeat will be decided instantly after one side cannot hold it, and then there will be an unprecedented encirclement, chase, and forced landing.

   "Come on!" Yang Zaixing watched Tian Shi's middle flank gradually being completely covered by Li Chengbu's pawns, and couldn't help but turn around to suggest.

   Zhang Xian said nothing but went to see Guo Jin.

   Guo Jin with a large spoon tied around his waist, Le Ma looked north and behind, but shook his head: "Wang Fu Dutong (Wang Gui) has not waved the flag yet."

Zhang Xian also pretended to be calm while nodding his head: "The three thousand soldiers in the Tianshi can fight. That day, Yaoshan stopped Hezha Meng'an and blocked the Lou room. This scene is nothing! It happened to be a general. The Chinese army sucked it in and broke up their forehead formation."

  Where did Yang Zaixing know what Hezha Meng'an is and what Lou Shi is, but he was impatient and a little helpless, so he drove forward again.

And when he was full of blood and hard to suppress, when he was about to come back to urge Zhang Xian, he suddenly smelled a blast from behind ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and then saw countless flags shaking together... caught Zhang Xian's lead and took the lead. Guo Jin and a team of guard knights jumped out from his side.

   Yang Zaixing was furious, turned around and shouted for his head, then turned around and took the lead in the charge.

   Immediately, the entire Beiwei army and all the cavalry that hurriedly assembled, but four thousand people, fought hard to move towards the frontal 40,000 army of the Chinese army.

But less than a quarter of an hour, the front army of the imperial camp, Beiwei army, tried to insert behind the enemy army on the side of the imperial right army, and Li Cheng's thousands of infantry were immediately scattered on the spot... See you from the northern cavalry. Under the command of the general, he tried to turn around and hug the cavalry that emerged from the middle. Unexpectedly, on some rugged mountainous terrain, countless foot soldiers shouted, and soon under the leadership of a king-character banner The recoil posture came oncoming, and it did not give these cavalry any room for adjustment on the battlefield.

   On this day, the two armies met in a tight way after marching for most of the day. After only making a hasty adjustment of the formation, they ran into it face to face!

   is really struggling!

   An army of 60,000, 40,000 on one side, and more than 20,000 on the other, just like two clay pots filled with boiling blood, they hit face-to-face on the land of Qilu.

   For a time, blood was flowing all over the floor, and the debris was scattered, but the cry of killing was powerful, bringing echoes and flipping non-stop, rising from behind the hills.
