More than ten miles north of Bowang, the banner is unfurled, the two armies of Zhou and Sui face each other in the north and south, located in the north is the battle formation of the Sui army, and the Chinese army is located on a mound, Yang Shuang, the marshal of the march to the south, raises his eyes and looks into the distance, trying to see what clues are in the battle formation of the Zhou army on the opposite side. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The rangers who swept the formation came to report, in the banner of the Zhou army, you can vaguely see the word "Yuwen", there are only three people who will play this banner in Shannan Land, Shannan Dao Daxingtai Shangshu Ling Yuwenliang, his eldest son Xiangzhou Governor Yu Wenming, nephew (second son) Huangzhou Governor Yu Wenwen.

After a comprehensive judgment, Yang Shuang and the generals thought that it should be Yu Wenming, the governor of Xiangzhou of Zhou State, who led the troops here.

The strength of the opponent's array seems to be about five or six thousand, if Yu Wenliang is here in person, it should not be only this number, and Yu Wenming led the Xiangzhou army to support, but it was also expected by Yang Shuang.

As for Yu Wenwen, the governor of Huangzhou, he should be in Huangzhou on the Yangtze River to guard against Chen Guo, while Yu Wenliang should be in Anlu or Suicheng.

The marching marshal Changshi Sun Lan looked at the formation of the Zhou army in the distance and then said: "King Wei, are you still worried that the other party is cheating?" ”

"Of course I'm worried, the array is in this kind of dead place, and I don't know if Yu Wenming is intentional or ignorant of soldiers."

"It is said that Yu Wenming should not be so confused, even if he is confused, other generals should not be fools, in this kind of place, it will take a few days to stand it."

The two discussed, and the surrounding generals had no objections, this place where the Zhou army was lined up looked good, but in fact there was a shortcoming, that is, it was inconvenient to get water, and the army could boil when it lacked food, but it couldn't survive without water.

There is snow on the ground, can't you eat snow to hydrate when you are thirsty?

It's barely feasible, but it's easy to eat bad stomachs, and the consequences of stomach pain when the two armies are fighting are not a joke, and the scale of five or six thousand people, where is enough to eat the little snow on the ground, but now the weather is clear.

Isn't there a water source nearby? Yes, about four miles to the west is Shuishui, which doesn't matter on weekdays, but you can't fight a war, because the other party won't let you take water calmly, not to mention the large number of cavalry in the Sui army.

And in this area that is about to become a battlefield, only the place where the Sui army is arrayed has a pond formed by springs, and there is no place to draw water from the place where the Zhou army is arrayed, unless it is carried from a small river nearly four miles behind them.

Why is Sui Jun so sure?

Because the marching marshal is long and the chief Sun Lan knows.

Two years ago, the commander of the Sui army's attack on Jingzhou in Shannan was Changsun Lan, who was very familiar with the terrain in this area.

This time he should have been in charge, but the Son of Heaven sent Yang Shuang, the king of the guard, to the south, and it was impossible for the clan vassal king to be driven by others, so Yang Shuang was in charge, and the eldest grandson Lan was the marching marshal for a long history.

"King, the Zhou army will not be so stupid, it must be to lure our army to outflank, their wings and behind them must have dug traps and laid down soldiers and horses, just waiting for our army to break through."

"What will happen to them if our army does not outflank them? Before the northward march step by step, it was to force our army to fight a decisive battle, if our army was so consumed, what should they do? Didn't Yu Wenming think of a way out? ”

Yang Shuang's rhetorical question is very reasonable, the generals have different opinions, but the only thing that can be determined is that they were forced to fight a decisive battle by the other party.

The Zhou army marched north from Bowang and pressed towards the Sui army's camp step by step, and the Sui cavalry kept harassing them, resulting in heavy casualties, and the other party approached their own camp like this, and then began to confront.

If the two sides continue to confront each other like this in the end, the situation will be slightly unfavorable to the Sui army, because in this way, they will be stared to death.

Nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, and a lot of cavalry, but they were stared to death by five or six thousand enemy troops, mainly foot soldiers, this is how incompetent it must be!

Yang Shuang was a little helpless, the Zhou army was obviously less than himself, and he couldn't move it, so he was forced to fight with the other party here in disguise, but fortunately the other party seemed to ignore the problem of water sources, so he had to decide whether to consume it like this, or to attack tentatively?

。。。。。。

The Zhou army battle array, the hills in the rear are the big tent of the Chinese army, Yu Wenwen is having lunch like other soldiers, of course, eating portable military rations - meat floss cooking cakes, with warm boiling water.

Where does boiling water come from? Boil!

I'm rubbing, they're all in formation, the enemy is in front of you, you tell me to light a fire and boil water?

Portable cooking trolley, equipped with firewood, light water and heat the cake at any time, not satisfied?

Still not convinced, where did you get the water!

There are a number of waterwheels with the army, which are enough for the whole army to drink for two days, and you can drink for three days if you save drinking, you are not convinced!

Yu Wenwen was full of food and drink, wiped his hands, and saw that Fifth Brother Chen and other generals were ready, so he immediately stood up and asked, "Have you all eaten?" ”

"I've eaten, it's been half an hour now, and I won't have a stomachache if I exercise vigorously."

"What about the Sui army?"

"According to the observation post, the opposing soldiers have already eaten in batches."

"Yang Shuang, the king of Wei, is indeed a general who has played with the Turks, but unfortunately, he may not even know who the commander of the enemy army is."

Yu Wenwen used a clairvoyant mirror to observe the enemy's situation, the Sui army was about a thousand steps away from his side, it should be to prevent the big crossbow from shooting from a distance, but he didn't plan to use the big crossbow.

The Sui army's military formation was full of momentum, and it could be seen that Yang Shuang, the king of the guard, who led the troops, was a person who knew the soldiers, and Yuwenwen felt that this kind of big scene was very suitable for saying hello with a thousand rounds of Hale rockets, but the inventory was taken away by his father and brother, so he could only watch it.

"Are you ready?"

"Back to the country, everything is ready."

"Very well, let's get started."

The horn sounded, the Zhou army's large array began to stir, the soldiers who were originally sitting cross-legged on the ground, stood up one after another, began to check the armor and weapons on their bodies, in front of the hill where the Chinese army was located, many towed three-bow bed crossbows began to be wound.

The winding is a pulley group winder, saving time and effort, and the lime bullets are not spear-like arrows but lime bullets placed on the crossbow trough, and now there is a slight north wind, and the Zhou army is in the downwind direction, according to the selected tactics, it is a good time to use lime bullets.

The second trumpet sounded, and countless two-zhang spears placed on the ground were erected by the soldiers, dense as a forest, and the pikemen took off their cloaks to protect against the cold, revealing the Xiyang armor they were wearing.

Thanks to the iron production of Dayejian, the armor rate of the Zhou army has increased greatly, the Xiyang armor is made of armor, the armor leaf is cold forged by a hydraulic forging hammer, which is stronger than the general armor blade, and the soldiers wear Xiyang armor and an iron hood with a neck guard, from head to knee only the eyes are not protected.

The winter sun shone down, and the shiny nail leaves reflected a little light, and the Zhou army's large array instantly turned into a steel forest, and a black background and white tiger head flag was raised, which was the banner of the Tiger Forest Army to which Gongyu Wenwen belonged.

The third trumpet sounded, the soldiers confirmed that their respective formations were arranged correctly, and the Chinese army herald conveyed the commander's order to the generals of all sides, and the two sides confirmed it in person.

Yu Wenwen, the governor of Huangzhou, was supposed to sit in Huangzhou to guard the east gate of Shannan, but now he led the soldiers out of the nest and came to fight in the northeast area of Jingzhou, Shannan, which was not a violation of the order, or an unauthorized action.

The task given by the imperial court to the Shannan Zhou army was to attack Wuguan to contain the Sui army in the direction of Chang'an, and to respond to the imperial army's attack on Luoyang, while the decision of Shannan Dao Daxing Taishang Shu Ling Yu Wenliang was to do his best to storm Chang'an.

Yuwenliang, father and son, have been carefully preparing for six years, and now they have to make a last fight for the fate of Yuwen's family.

If it happens, the situation will be reversed, and if it doesn't, it will die! (To be continued.) )
