Chapter 190, One Soldier 4
Li Yan and Wang Jian glanced at each other, and both nodded slowly, they felt that Li Zicheng's analysis was correct, and it was a layer deeper than they thought, so everyone quickly reached an agreement to fight a decisive battle with Lu Xiangsheng as soon as possible.
After discussion, Li Zicheng wrote a letter and sent it to Gao Yingxiang, explaining that his side was going to fight with Lu Xiangsheng, and asked Gao Yingxiang not to fight on their side first, as long as they could block Hong Chengchou and prevent him from attacking. [Full text reading. 】
After the letter was sent, the Qin army and Li Zicheng's men began to prepare for battle. At this time, the scouts sent out returned, Lu Xiangsheng also set up two big villages, also showing a horn trend, he himself set up a village on the left, Sun Chuanting set up a village on the right, the two big villages are less than five miles away, and the messengers in the middle are endless, delivering news.
For this point, Li Yan and the others have already thought that since they want to fight, they can't attack one of their villages, in that case, the officers and troops of the other village will be surrounded by them, so the two villages must be attacked at the same time.
Sun Chuanting's men and horses were small, less than 10,000, which was comparable to the Qin army, so Li Zicheng asked the Qin army to attack Sun Chuanting, and he attacked Lu Xiangsheng with all his might.
The two sides discussed, Li Zicheng sent someone to write a war letter, agreed to a decisive battle tomorrow morning, Li Yan and Wang Jian returned to their camp, just sat down, someone came to report, King Qin sent Li Dare to come. Wang Jian hurriedly invited in to meet, Li Dare entered the account, after seeing Wang Qian, speaking of the reason for this, it turned out that the King of Qin heard that Sun Chuanting had set up another village, so he discussed a plan with Zhang Yi to let Li Dare bring Sun Mengdie to the army, and so on.
After Li Yan heard this, his brows tightened, and he felt that it was inappropriate.
Wang Jian said: "The king's plan is very good, I think Sun Chuanting loves this woman like a pearl in his palm, as soon as he sees her, he will definitely withdraw from the army, or he will not go all out to face the battle." At that time, we can divide a part of our forces to help Li Zicheng. ”
Li Yan shook his head lightly: "I think Sun Chuanting is not a simple person, if we meet in front of the battle like this, he will feel that this is a ploy and will not be fooled." ”
Wang Jian said: "Don't care if he will be fooled or not, let's meet him for a while, and then we will know." ”
Early the next morning, the Qin army and Li Zicheng brought out the men and horses, the two sides of the army are different, the formation is not the same, the Qin army is 3,000 cavalry in the lead, followed by archers and spearmen, broadsword soldiers, Li Zicheng did not have many cavalry, so he put the archers in front, and then the shield hand pikemen, in case the cavalry of the official army attacked.
Lu Xiangsheng had already received the battle book yesterday, and after he read it, he smiled coldly and immediately replied: Tomorrow's decisive battle.
At this time, the official army camp had also been cleaned up, and Lu Xiangsheng personally led more than a dozen generals and 20,000 officers and soldiers to greet them. Among the 20,000 officers, there are 5,000 cavalry, in addition to a firearms battalion, which can be described as a strong army. Especially the three thousand Guanning iron cavalry of Zu Broadband, these people fought with the Houjin army in Jinzhou Ningyuan Shanhaiguan and other places for several years, and have always had the upper hand, so the Houjin army did not dare to attack Shanhaiguan, so they had to detour to Shanxi and other places, so that these Guanning iron cavalry became decorations, and they were not used, Lu Xiangsheng knew this, so he transferred them to fight the peasant army. As soon as these people heard that there was a fight, they all seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and their brains were bruised, and they waited for this day.
Sun Chuanting's side also lined up, his cavalry was not much, there were more than 300 people, mainly infantry, Lu Xiangsheng knew this, and also knew that there were cavalry in the Qin army, so he specially allocated him 1,000 Guanning iron cavalry, led by a partial general under Zu Kuan, so that Sun Chuanting's cavalry increased to almost 1,500 people, although the number of people was less than the Qin army, but it was also worthy of a battle.
Lu Xiangsheng was very shrewd, he guessed that the Qin army might pick up soft persimmons first, first crush Sun Chuanting as soon as possible, and then join forces with Li Zicheng to attack him, so whether Sun Chuanting can hold it out is the key to the battle. For Li Zicheng's more than 30,000 people, Lu Xiangsheng is sure, and the three words of King Lu Yan are not called in vain. As long as Sun Chuanting can withstand the onslaught of the Qin army, after defeating Li Zicheng on his side, he will win a big victory if he goes to flank the Qin army.
The ideas of both sides are surprisingly consistent.
Speaking of the Qin army's side alone, after the two sides set up a formation, Sun Chuanting suppressed the corners, looked at the opposite side with wide eyes, and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
If you want to talk about governing the army, Sun Chuanting can be regarded as a first-class master in the late Ming Dynasty, and the Yulin soldiers under his rule have neat military appearance, high morale, strict military discipline, and are ruthless and tricky in battle, absolutely "fierce as a tiger, cunning as a fox", but when he saw the lineup of the Qin army, he couldn't help but be surprised.
Because the Qin army was the most powerful army in history, two thousand years ago, two thousand years later, after the years of wearing, the erosion of wind and dust, the forgetting of history, the cycle of life, is still like the unearthed bronze sword, sharp, bright, upright, frightening.
These people stood there, still like terracotta warriors, silent, unshakable, all with cold eyes and calm expressions, and even their heartbeats and breathing seemed to be the same. It gives people the feeling that no matter whether there are thousands of troops or gods, demons and beasts on the other side, it is impossible to shake them in the slightest.
This is an extreme self-confidence, which goes deep into the bone marrow, and as long as you join this army, you will not feel infected. This kind of self-confidence is Bai Qi, Wang Qian, Wang Ben, Zhang Han, and countless famous generals of the Qin army, generation after generation, war after war, and they have been immersed in it day by day.
Today, Sun Chuanting feels like the sixth ** team two thousand years ago, facing an unshakable mountain.
Sun Chuanting's palms were dripping with sweat.
This army is different from all peasant armies, it is by no means a rabble, and judging from the appearance of the army, it will never be able to form this kind of temperament without more than ten years, decades, or even hundreds of years of experience.
Who are they, is it really the Qin army two thousand years ago, resurrected to this day?
Sun Chuanting kind of believed the rumors.
Just as he was thinking, a few war horses suddenly ran out from the opposite side, and the one led by was actually Li Yan, he ran to the middle of the two armies, just where the arrows of both sides couldn't shoot, Le Ma stopped, and shouted loudly: "Is it Lord Sun Chuanting on the other side?" Please come out and speak. ”
What trick did Qin Jun play? Sun Chuanting really didn't understand for a while, he glanced behind him, and a general named Geng Chong said: "General, I'm afraid of fraud!" ”
Sun Chuanting looked at Li Yan and the others, not with bows and arrows and other things, so he sneered: "This is the first salute and then the soldiers, you bring three personal soldiers with me." ”
So here Sun Chuanting took four people and walked slowly towards Li Yan.
The two sides were a dozen paces away and froze.
Li Yan arched his hand and said with a smile: "Master Sun, don't come to harm?" ”
Sun Chuanting was angry when he saw Li Yan, and when he heard this again, he was even more angry, but he was very cultivated and could suppress his anger: "It turned out to be Li Gongzi, you are a child of a family, and your ancestors are the pillars of the country, why did you rebel and be a thief in your generation?" Aren't you afraid of insulting your ancestors? ”
Li Yan smiled: "Lord Sun's words are bad, when today, the emperor does not think about the suffering of the people, increases salaries and taxes, makes the people miserable, corrupt officials and corrupt officials are rampant in various places, the heavens are angry and resentful, the world is already crumbling, the people in the world are looking forward to the Lord, I advise Lord Sun to turn back as soon as possible, don't help the abuse, otherwise one day the building will collapse, and Lord Sun will be martyred together." ”
Sun Chuanting was furious: "You are a yellow-mouthed child, what do you know." Today's heavenly soldiers are coming, if you don't surrender, you will kill yourself, don't blame me for not persuading you. ”
Then he pulled the horse and returned to the battle.
Li Yan said with a smile: "Lord Sun, don't be in a hurry to leave, I came to the battle, and I have something to discuss with my lord." ”
Sun Chuanting sneered: "Anti-ministers and thieves, what is there to discuss, if you want to surrender, you will surrender, and if you don't surrender, you will fight." Li Yan said: "I came to persuade the adults to withdraw from the army." Sun Chuanting laughed: "You are simply a fool's dream, you want me to withdraw from the army, unless it is ice in June and snow in July." ”
Li Yan said: "I may not be able to move adults, but there is a person who may be able to move." ”
Sun Chuanting turned back to the horse's head: "I want to see, who is this person?" ”
Li Yan pulled the horse's head, let it aside, and slowly walked out behind him.
This person has been behind Li Yan all the time, and he is wearing a hooded coat, so Sun Chuanting has not noticed, at this time, this person walked out, came to Sun Chuanting's horse, and slowly took off the hat on the big hat.
Sun Chuanting's expression had always been very disdainful, but when he saw this person, his face changed miserably.
Sitting immediately in front of him turned out to be his daughter who had already died and was buried by his own hands, Sun Mengdie.
Sun Chuanting involuntarily shook his horse a few times, and almost fell, he hurriedly closed his eyes, settled down, and opened his eyes again.
That's right, the person in front of him is Sun Mengdie, he is neither dazzling nor dreaming.
At this moment, Sun Chuanting stretched out his hand and wanted to touch his daughter's little face.
But the hand, halfway through it, froze in the air, then paused, and then abruptly retracted it, gripping the hilt of the sword at his waist.
He shouted, "Who are you?" How dare you pretend to be my miserable daughter? ”
Sun Mengdie said in a trembling voice, "Daddy, I'm Fluttershy, I'm your Fluttershy." ”
This voice is exactly the same, it is the voice that sounded countless times in Sun Chuanting's memory. But he still has a hard face: "Nonsense, nonsense, you're not Fluttershy, Fluttershy is already dead, dead......"
Sun Mengdie said: "Daddy, I didn't die, it was King Qin who saved me, I really didn't die." Daddy, I miss you so much, I miss my mother so much......"
Tears rolled down her cheeks.
Sun Chuanting's tears also flowed, the tough guy never shed tears, but before he got to the sad place, he pulled the sword out of the sheath with a bang, and pointed at Sun Mengdie's throat: "You thief, go back quickly, Hugh has to let me do it." Get out of ......"
Sun Mengdie wanted to say something, but saw Sun Chuanting flick his horse's head and go back to the battle.
