Chapter 358: The Beginning of the Dawn
On the opposite side, An Renping sat upright on his horse, with a big flag behind him, and looked at the formation slowly unfolding on the opposite side with a solemn face
An Renping said: " Duan Mingyu is not good at coming, when Huang Chao died, the Tang family was weak, and the major festivals made the troops self-respecting, and had no time to take care of our battle, we must be careful, only to resist the first wave of the Shence army's powerful attack, it is bound to frustrate its sharpness, this is our territory, as long as the two sides enter a stalemate, we can gradually reverse the decline, even if we can't drive them back to Chang'an with our own strength, other feudal towns will also react, as long as Caizhou and Qin Zongquan's side exert a little pressure, Chang'an will inevitably float, and at that time, we can not only defeat the Tang army and drive them back to Chang'an, maybe we can also push the battle line north in one fell swoop”
The soldiers under his command said: "Why should the eldest brother be angry, destroy his own prestige, the younger brother has fought with the Shence Army, the Shence Army is not enough, and the strength of the Shence Army is on a par with us, but we occupy the time, place, people, and this battle, what we should care about should be whether we can kill Duan Mingyu's dog head in a battle, and go north to drive directly to the Central Plains."
This general looked triumphantly at the right army of the Shence army on the opposite side, and said disdainfully
Another general said: "The third brother should not underestimate the enemy, listen to the eldest brother's yù, and seek stability first if he wins"
The third child snorted, quite disapproving
An Renping said: "We will naturally not be afraid of the Tang Army, but although Jingnan Nanhan promised to reconcile with me in Yangzhou, these two old foxes have some sincerity, but it is very difficult to learn if we fight hard here and can't get out, whether those two old thieves will be greedy is really difficult to prepare, once they intervene in our backs, it will be a great disadvantage to us."
The general who was called the third brother said: "Didn't the marshal also send troops to guard the border, and those weak remnants of the army are not enough to be afraid of?"
An Renping frowned and looked back and asked, "When will the reinforcements from the section commander arrive?"
A staff member beside him hurriedly said: "After the herald received the general, the commander has already sent 50,000 troops to the right to consolidate the Huai River defense line, and several generals who came with orders came to converge at night, and the news received yesterday night may be able to arrive within three days."
"Very good!" An Ren plane sè slightly: "After a while, even if the two armies fight, even if they fail, our army will defend the city again, and the addition of this army should be able to achieve miraculous results......
"Knock knock knock one by one
"Tom tom one one
The war drums roared and the horn sounded, and the cavalrymen in jet-black armor raised their spears in unison, holding a shield in their left hand and a flat-ended spear in their right hand, and the sharp tip of the spear pointed directly at the enemy formation
The shields are all cowhide riding shields painted with the pattern of fierce beasts, and the red tassel spear is a bamboo with a handle painted black, and the grip is wrapped with fine hemp silk, that is, light and tough, sharp three-edged spear blades, a foot and a half long blood groove, like a murderous atmosphere
Today, the wind was very strong, the banner hunting roared like thunder, and the Yangzhou soldiers slowly went out of the city, but the amazing thing was that the Yangzhou soldiers who went out of the city did not set up the usual formation, but slightly cleaned up the team, and took the initiative to attack Duan Mingyu's Shence right army
Duan Mingyu, who was lazily sitting in the back, stood up suddenly, and looked at the opposite side in dismay, only to see that the Yangzhou army took the two thousand cavalry team of Jīng Rui as the vanguard and launched a fierce attack on his position, and the main force of nearly 10,000 people behind followed closely behind in a cone formation, this is not a feint, they are really desperate
"Finally...... Can't help it?" Duan Mingyu showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth
The arrows in front rained down, and the few two thousand Yangzhou iron horsemen fell off their horses one after another, but no one took the reins to dodge the command, so that Feng Ping took the lead, so that the big guns were picked apart, and the flying arrows rushed straight into the enemy formation, and the front of the right army was torn open, and the Yangzhou soldiers quickly rammed in, chopped the waves, and worked hard to expand the results
Duan Mingyu laughed and shouted: "Let the Yangzhou army come in, send an order, Ge Congzhou Shang let the two wings outflank and cut off the enemy's rear route, since they dare to attack, I will leave them all here today."
Saying that, the guards took his horse, Duan Mingyu pulled the saddle on the horse, calmly sat down on the horse, took off the silver spear from the hook, and pointed forward sharply, this shot crossed thousands of troops and horses, as if directly stabbed on the general who rushed to the front of the Yangzhou army, his legs knocked on the horse's legs, Duan Mingyu jumped down the gentle slope and killed the back formation, Duan Mingyu knew that it was difficult for him to come forward to fight in person now, and the Yangzhou soldiers could not break through to their own rear formation, but Duan Mingyu still insisted on stepping forward to feel the momentum of this row of mountains and seas and the battle of Jin Ge Iron Horse
As soon as Duan Mingyu stepped forward, Zheng Yingying also pulled out her saber and followed closely to the left and right, as if facing a great enemy, seeing that Duan Mingyu couldn't help but laugh a little
Wang Yanzhang was also in the army, Yangzhou Fengping, more than 1,000 cavalry charged, tore the front of the right army of Shence, and after the Anrenping Palace, led more than 10,000 foot soldiers to enter the center of the right army of Shence Army through the opening of the cavalry
Wang Yanzhang rode his horse and rushed up to meet the Yangzhou iron horsemen who surged up like cháo water, his eyes were sharp like eagle falcons, and the tiger guards in front and back were also waving and roaring, like a tiger out of the cage, shouting and fighting, fighting hard, the big guns behind him were like a forest, densely packed, and greeted one by one, and the honeycomb of the Yangzhou iron horsemen who pounced on Wang Yanzhang's fighting cells were second only to the fierce man called Li Cunxiao in Hedong, in addition, it was almost difficult for the fierce generals in the world to drink, and he was indistinguishable
In mid-air, the arrows roared, the soldiers of the two armies fought each other in short combat, and the battle was unprecedentedly fierce, the Yangzhou army broke into the enemy formation, and faced twice the enemy, without fear, Wang Yanzhang took the lead, the iron gun in his hand danced like a hot wheel, and he actually killed a vacuum isolation belt in the battlefield, this kind of general was almost born to fight, and now Wang Yanzhang has Duan Mingyu's strong army in hand, and has begun to show the grandeur of a general
Duan Mingyu was surprised and delighted, An Renping didn't know what was stimulated, he actually gave up the formation battle that the Yangzhou army was best at, and adopted this kind of desperate fighting, and he was outnumbered, and everyone was happy that his strength was twice as large as the enemy, as long as he ate the remaining remnants of this main force, the Yangzhou army would not want to hold Shou Chūn City, he didn't think that An Renping made this decision, whether there was fraud in it, but this idea was just a flash and was left behind by him
