Chapter 131: The Battle of Puyang River

Early the next morning, Zhang Xuan's army spread out on the east bank of the Pujiang River, with more than 10,000 people, boundless.

It seems that because of the Xiaoice River period, Jiangnan in December is also extremely cold.

Between heaven and earth, there is a solemn white.

It's not snow, it's frost.

From a distance, there was a frost between the whole heaven and earth, whether it was on the ground, on the tiles of houses, and even on the trees. Only the Pujiang River flows north.

To the west is the Pujiang River, and to the east is the Huiji Mountain.

It seems that the cold also freezes the water molecules between the weather, and you can see the Huiji Mountain in the east from a distance.

Most of the mountains in the south are green, even in winter, not all of them may be yellow, but they seem to be covered by frost, Zhang Xuan looked at it from a distance, as if he saw a freehand landscape, only ink and white, but because of the different levels, rendering thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

Zhang Xuan sighed and said, "Is General Yang ready?" ”

He Hutou said: "I asked, General Yang had already left the camp last night, and was ready to take the road in Huiji Mountain to go around to the side of the officers and soldiers. General Xu personally led the way, and there should be no problem. ”

Zhang Xuan nodded and said, "Is Wang Deren here?" ”

He Hutou said: "Yes." ”

"Call him over." Zhang Xuan said.

More than 10,000 cavalry moved, and the momentum was too great, so Yang Shenzu only took away four or five thousand cavalry, but looking at the appearance on the other side, four or five thousand cavalry was enough to break the camp of the official army. Therefore, Wang Deren was also left behind.

But after a while, Wang Deren came over, and when he saw Zhang Xuan, he immediately saluted and said, "Meet the general." ”

Zhang Xuan said: "I have something to do with you today. ”

"General, please make it clear." Wang Deren said.

"Go to the other side and write a war letter." Zhang Xuan said: "Do you dare. ”

"Why don't you dare?" Wang Deren said.

Zhang Xuan immediately wrote a letter by hand, writing: "Zhang Xuan, the general of the right army of King Wu of Dashun, is willing to hunt with the gentlemen of Jiangnan at the foot of Huiji Mountain. If there is Yaxing, please come with the whole army. Then he wrote down the year, month and day.

Zheng Lian took it, dried the ink, put it in an envelope, did not seal it, and handed it to Wang Deren.

Wang Deren took it with both hands, took a few steps back, turned over his horse, and headed north with only the guards around him.

Wang Deren ignored the hundred horsemen and rushed towards the largest camp of the official army. This camp is where Sun Jiaji is located.

There was such a big movement in Zhang Xuan's camp, how could Sun Jiaji not know. He was discussing with everyone, but when he heard the shouts of killing outside, he frowned and said, "What's the matter?" ”

numerous

People surrounded Sun Jiaji out of the big tent, and the sound of shouting and killing became clearer and clearer.

Wang Deren took a hundred horsemen, rushed left and right to kill, and was about to rush into the camp, Wang Deren looked at the handsome flag from afar, tied the letter to the long arrow, bent the bow to the sky, almost four or five degrees, and the hand was loosened, and the long arrow flew into the sky. He pulled the reins and said, "Go." ”

Wang Deren shot a light arrow, shot it vigorously, and actually hit the flagpole of the handsome flag. Wang Deren himself thought about it so powerful. However, Sun Jiaji was taken aback, and Sun Jiaji was standing under the handsome flag at this moment, and this arrow was almost attached to his body and shot at the flagpole, and was bounced down by the flagpole and fell to his feet.

Sun Jiaji escaped from the letter and looked at it, sneered, and passed the letter to everyone to read.

I don't know who said: "Writing like this, and daring to come out to meet people, I really admire the thick skin of the thief." ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone burst into laughter.

I have to say that Zhang Xuan feels that his words are already okay. At least I can see people, but in front of these Jinshi people, it is not worth mentioning at all. I'm afraid it's not as good as it was when they were seven or eight years old.

This smile dissipated the tense atmosphere a lot.

"Zhang Xuan still has some skills." He Gang sighed slightly, and said: "My gangster, also on the other side, also killed Brother Zilong, although this gangster is not good, but in the art of war, there is still some ability, otherwise I would not accept him as a disciple." ”

The criminal he said was none other than Xu Du.

Xu Du once traveled the world, He Gang was kind to him, He Gang was famous, Xu Du was still a living being, so he once worshiped under He Gang and learned the way of making art. He Gang also saw that Xu Du really had no talent in the eight shares, so he persuaded him and said: "There is something to do in the world, why don't you train a brigade of teachers to be used." ”

So after Xu Du returned to his hometown, he handed over the strong men in the township, and his reputation spread far and wide, and he secretly trained his family, waiting for one day to serve the country and seek a reputation for himself.

But I don't want to have unforeseen circumstances, Xu Du's fame has not yet arrived, so he was forced to rebel, and now he has become a member of the rogues, even Chen Zilong died in it, thinking of this, He Gang's heart is full of taste, you must know that after Xu Du surrendered, there was talk of killing Xu Du, He Gang was running around, why is he here, not in Songjiang, He Gang is from Songjiang, and he is running for Xu Du.

It's just that I never thought that the friends of life and death that day, the master and apprentice were commensurate, and now each is its master, and the sword and the soldier are facing each other.

"What do you mean, Mr. Ho?" Sun Jiaji said.

He Gang said: "It's better to wait for change. When General Wang and General Zhang's soldiers arrived, it would not be too late to fight again. It's just a day or two. ”

"It's a good idea." Someone immediately responded.

Many people know their own affairs, this improvised piece of soldiers, where is the opponent of the thief, even if the strength of the two sides is not much different. But the difference in strength is not much, and it does not represent

There is not much difference in strength. After three rounds of wine before, five flavors of food, and brain fever, naturally dare to say anything. But after really seeing Zhang Xuan's lineup, he naturally didn't dare to act rashly.

Sun Jiaji thought of a big victory in his heart, but when he thought about the difference in strength between the two sides, he could only sigh, turned his head and asked Zhang Qinchen and said, "General Zhang, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Qinchen pondered for a while and said: "There are only more than 1,000 firearms under the mark, and there are more than enough to defend the village, but there are some deficiencies in the battle. ”

"Okay. Go back, all of you, and keep to the camp, and don't lose anything. Sun Jiaji said.

"Yes." The crowd said.

Zhang Xuan waited for a while, but found that there was no movement on the other side at all.

In this way, Zhang Xuan looked up at his opponent instead. This shows that the opponent still has some self-knowledge.

Since the other party does not fight, Zhang Xuan only needs to attack.

After Zhang Xuan gave the order, the rumbling sound of war drums sounded, and the three battalions of the army, more than 10,000 people, rushed up.

"Boom." The sound of artillery, I don't know where it came from, the cannonballs shot out far away, and before they entered the formation of the rebels, they lost their kinetic energy, fell on the ground, bounced twice on the ground, and collapsed on the ground.

At the same time, the sound of countless artillery pieces rang out one after another.

Most of them did not reach the rebels.

This is an old problem of the officers and soldiers, and the firearms are released in advance without waiting for the enemy to enter the firing range, and if one person is released, it is very likely to cause a chain reaction. It can't be stopped. The so-called elite of the border army of the official army is still like this, not to mention the soldiers they have made temporarily.

Zhang Xuan only heard that the fight was very lively, and the rebels occasionally had a few unlucky people who were hit by stray bullets. In addition, there were no casualties, but took advantage of the officers and soldiers to change ammunition, shouted, did not maintain the formation, and rushed frantically to the bottom of the camp.

"Kill." The sound of shouting and the sound of war drums for a time overpowered the sound of artillery fire on the opposite side.

Zhang Xuan's attention shifted to Sun Jiaji's camp, he heard clearly, when the other camps opened fire in advance, only this camp, there was no movement at all, as if there was no one, on top of the other camps, the gunpowder smoke that more or less dispersed could also be seen, but in this camp, there was no trace of gunsmoke at all.

"This is the battalion attacking the Sun family's army?" Zhang Xuan asked.

"Nanyang Battalion." He Hutou said.

"Nanyang Camp?" Zhang Xuan secretly said in his heart: "In this battle, the Nanyang battalion is going to suffer heavy losses. ”

It's just that over the past few years, Zhang Xuan has long been accustomed to casualties, and although he thought so, he didn't blink his eyelids, and watched intently with a clairvoyant mirror to see the performance of the firearms battalion.
