The genius was cloudy, and the damp banks of the Li River were shrouded in mist. Zhu Gaoxu rode a horse and crossed a pontoon bridge with the civil and military officials of the Chinese army and his own soldiers. When he looked back, he saw the figures of countless soldiers, gradually walking through the white mist.

Countless torches blurred in the hazy air; From a distance, it looks like floating fireflies.

There was no sound of drums and trumpets, and there was a "ding-tink" sound of armor and other metals gently hitting all around, and from time to time there were a few coughs and the calls of horses.

Zhu Gaoxu and others passed through the boat bridge, which was the flat land on the south bank of the Li River, like a triangular "peninsula". The location of the Han army, on the east side of the plain, is the smallest corner of the "triangle" (the right side of the map).

With such terrain, on the frontal front, the Han army's army needed fewer people. This is a small benefit to Zhu Gaoxu, who has fewer troops.

In the easternmost corner, there is a small village with some shrubs and a bamboo forest growing near the village. To the west of the village, there is a large area of dry land with barren grass and low trees, vegetable growing, and some rice fields. But Zhu Gaoxu's position of the banner of the Chinese army is not here, but still in front (west).

He led a group of men and horses and rode west from the main road between the dry lands, and soon came to the position of the Chinese army. There are already many troops in the vicinity, and they are deploying in the vicinity.

Zhu Gaoxu stood in place and observed for a while, and his vision was not clear in the fog at this time; Yesterday, though, he had a good idea of the terrain around him...... From the edge of the Li River to the mountain peaks in the south, the front width here is less than two miles.

If the infantry were to fill the place side by side, the first row would only require seven or eight hundred men. In fact, it is far from so many people, because there are some rice fields, small ponds, etc. on the ground, and it is not suitable to arrange people and horses.

There will also be no generals, who will arrange the soldiers one after another densely together. In that case, once the front cannot withstand it, it is easy to squeeze the back and cause the collapse of the whole army; Large and dense camps were also unable to reinforce the front. Any large array, between the hundred households and the thousand general teams, there are intervals of different sizes...... So this time, the first platoon of the front line of the Han Wang's army may not even have 500 people.

At this time, Zhao Ping rode a horse and followed the banner of the Chinese army.

After seeing the salute, Zhu Gaoxu asked, "Where is the main force of the enemy army?" ”

Zhao Pingyao pointed to the west, "There is an estuary to the west, which is the confluence of the Anle River (Yulong River) and the Li River. The Anle River is narrow, and the enemy has built many boat bridges, and almost all of them have crossed the Anle River at this time. ”

Zhu Gaoxu asked again: "The long and narrow valley that stretches from east to west in the south, have the people and horses transferred over arrived?" ”

Zhao Ping hugged his fists and said: "Back to the prince, I went in the early morning, and the front was Yin Desheng's thousand corps." ”

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt that this name was a little familiar, so he said casually: "I seem to have heard this name somewhere." ”

Zhao Ping said: "In the battle of attacking Guizhou City, Yin Desheng took the lead in climbing to the top of the city, and was promoted to three levels according to the military order, and now he is a thousand households." ”

"I remembered, that military general is good, brave and not afraid of death." Zhu Gaoxu nodded. He looked back at the left and right and said: "We are less than 60,000 people in this battle, and we are at least 90,000 people against Wu Gao. But as long as it wins, the courage and good fighting of the Han army will definitely shake the Quartet and become famous all over the world. Everyone, do your best! ”

All the generals clasped their fists and bowed: "The last general is willing to drive forward for the prince!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu also wanted to wait until the chances of victory were better before going to war; But on the territory of Guangxi, he and Wu Gao have been wandering around for so many days, and there is really no way to take Wu Gao. Now that Wu Gao is finally willing to go to war again, Zhu Gaoxu doesn't want to give up the opportunity anymore, and is determined to seize this rare opportunity to take a risk!

…… It was a bright day, but it was a cloudy day. If it's a sunny day, it's time for three poles in the day.

The northwest wind was blowing for the past few days, but today it suddenly stopped. A faint mist shrouded the ground, but there was no wind, and the four fields were dull and depressing.

But at this time, the noise on all sides was getting louder and louder. Countless men and horses on both sides set up a large formation more than a mile away, looking at each other from a distance. On the hazy land, countless soldiers are like a sea of people.

Wu Gao sat on horseback, looking at the scene to the east, and heard the shouts of the enemy army one after another.

Many generals gathered around one after another, and Wu Gao opened his mouth to speak: "The strength of our Wang Division is almost twice that of the rebels, and today is a decisive victory, and all departments should invest heavy troops in all directions to carry out a comprehensive attack on the rebels!" With superior forces, we must quickly exhaust the traitor's Quanyong team, and win or lose in this battle! ”

Everyone immediately stared and shouted: "The Ming official army will win!" ”

The generals dispersed, and the battalions prepared for battle. It didn't take long for the only dozen or so heavy artillery pieces of the officers and troops to be deployed to the front and set up an artillery emplacement a mile away from the rebels.

As soon as the Chinese army's big drums sounded, the Hongwu cannons of the officers and soldiers began to roar one after another. In the mist, light and fire erupted, and the flickering light seemed to kick off the prelude to the great war.

There is no direct communication between the two sides, but a direct war! No one sent fierce generals to challenge, because the war in this era has long been unruly, and if you send people to challenge like the Three Kingdoms period, you will definitely be shot into a hedgehog immediately.

In a terrifying roar, stone bullets and iron pellets flew from the air to the front of the Han Army. There was almost no need to aim, and most of the shells fell into the dense phalanx of the Han army, and only a few fell into the paddy fields.

Screams could be heard in the distance. But the front of the Han army did not waver in the slightest, and the artillery bombardment from a mile away could not shake the rebels' position at all.

After the first dozen or so huge cannon shots, Wu Gao was immediately a little surprised.

Because after a few days of struggling in the mud and heavy rain on both sides, the strength of the Leezers was greatly weakened, so the performance of the Han Wangjun was a bit unexpected. However, Wu Gao thought that the Han Wangjun had been fighting for the past two years, and perhaps its soldiers already had experience and were not easy to be frightened.

The officers and soldiers have been marching on the movement lately, carrying a limited number of heavy guns and being slow to reload; The Great War could not wait for the second round of shelling. Two phalanxes composed of a thousand-man team on the left flank of the front army of the official army took the lead in advancing forward.

An infantry force from the north flank of the rebel camp also began to advance, and the two sides began to face off in tentative contact.

After a short time, the Han Wangjun stopped first, and many bowls fired in one volley, and the officers and soldiers also returned fire with various artillery pieces that were easy to carry. The banks of the Li River were suddenly covered with gunsmoke, and the noisy voices of people spread far away.

When the two groups of men and horses approached each other, bows and arrows fired at each other again and again, and the smoke filled the mist, and the riverside was full of smoke. Today was already cloudy, and the sky was even more overcast.

There is no essential difference in the range and lethality of the firearms on both sides, and the accuracy is not very good. Although the soldiers are tired, they are not an army that can be defeated by firearms, bows, and crossbows alone; To really decide the winner, you have to rely on the terrifying pressure of swords and guns to rush and kill face-to-face!

The left flank of the officers and troops has been hand-to-hand! The smoke was heavy over there, and Wu Gao couldn't see the specific situation clearly from a distance, but the generals in front could see it; At this time, a light cavalry on the left flank of the officer army was dispatched, and the second infantry phalanx also began to advance.

Seeing this, Wu Gao knew that the battle of the left-wing strikers was unfavorable. It is precisely because of this that the generals in front of the official army will take the lead in sending the Quan Yong team behind to respond.

At the foot of the mountain peak to the south, at this time, the infantry on the right flank of the official army also began to attack, and the men and horses of the first front were dispatched one after another. The generals followed Wu Gao's military orders and launched an all-out attack on the rebels!

After the first cannon shot, it was less than half an hour now, and the battle on the plains intensified!

There was a larger village between the two armies, and by this time there was already a raging fire burning there, and houses were burning everywhere. Black smoke billowed in the air, mixed with the smoke of guns and cannons, and the fog on the ground, as if the entire earth was shrouded in clouds. It was noisy on all sides.

Behind the peaks to the south, the sound of "boom boom ......" also came from a valley. In the mountains to the south, Wu Gao also deployed men and horses in advance; The intention is to break through the rebel defenses in the valley, and then you can outflank the main rebel flank.

There was no need to wait for the military intelligence report on the battlefield in the south, Wu Gao heard the sound of artillery, and knew that the big battle behind those green mountains in the south had also broken out!

Smoke drifted between the abrupt peaks, and the fires of the houses on the ground were still burning. The loud noise under the sky never stopped.

Wu Gao sat on horseback and said nothing. His gray sideburns peeked out from under the iron helmet, and his face under the brim of his hat was solemn, calm and calm.

At this moment, Wu Gao, as the commander of the official army, did not issue any more military orders, he was just observing the overall situation of the battlefield. The large battlefield of more than 100,000 people on both sides stretched for several miles from north to south, and Wu Gao was obviously unable to issue specific military orders to various departments. At this moment, the frontline battlefield can only rely on the generals everywhere to be responsible for tactics.

"Drive!" Wu Gao suddenly sighed, turned his head and said, "The smoke is too big, let's go to the front and take a look." ”

A group of guards rode around him, and the horse team left the position of the Chinese army and ran straight east.

Wu Gao and others passed through the intervals of the large phalanx of infantry and the cavalry standing on the ground leading their horses, and the further they walked east, the louder the earth-shattering killing and loud noise became, and it was almost deafening.

Fighting was raging everywhere on the land, and the defeated men and horses were retreating westward. The nearby generals were shouting and swearing, trying to reunite the scattered soldiers.

In the thick smoke of the air, the occasional solid bullet with a bowl mouth was thrown out and flew far away. The pro-soldier military general reminded Wu Gao to be careful.

On such a battlefield, there are rivers and mountains on both sides, and it is difficult to make flank detours. There were quite a few people on both sides, and for the time being, there were enough reinforcements from the brave forces to the front line, and fierce battles continued everywhere.
