In the second year of Zhou Guoqianxing, the third year of Chen Guozhen's reign, on April 5, in the northeast of Jiankang, Chen's army lined up outside the city outline, stretching for nearly 20 miles, and set up a formation to meet the Zhou army approaching Jiankang and occupying Jiangshan. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The headquarters of Lu Guangda, the leader of the central army, is located in Baitugang, the southernmost part of the Chen army's array, the leading general Ren Zhong in its north, the north is the general Fan Yi of the guard, Kong Fan of the supervising army, and the northernmost part is the department of the hussar general Xiao Maha.

A high post at the foot of Jiang Mountain, the head of the Zhou army's march, Tan Rang Ze Horse, overlooked the general situation of the Chen army's large array by means of the terrain, today is a decisive battle, he can't help but be excited, and he can't help but be cautious.

The Chen army's large array stretched for nearly twenty miles, but it does not mean that within the distance of these twenty miles, they are all lined up in three steps and one person.

The large array is in a north-south direction, roughly divided into four military formations, not far from each other, so as to respond to each other, the banner is like a tide, and the black pressure is overwhelming, which looks full of momentum.

The Chen army went out of the city to line up, and the Zhou army also set up a formation, facing the Chen army that went out of the city to line up, ready to take the lead in attacking.

Of course, to attack, the generals of the Zhou army were afraid that the Chen army would defend the city, and if it was not smooth for the time being, the next would be the rainy season, when the ground was full of mud and the bowstring was relaxed, it would be inconvenient to fight, and the Zhou army might not be able to consume the Chen army by camping in the continuous rain.

So today the other party somehow actually went out of the city to fight, and the commander of the Zhou army in the middle of the Zhou army, Tan Rang, decided to go all out and seize the opportunity of this decisive battle to break the main force of the Chen army, and then the opponent's army was defeated like a mountain, and he couldn't take Jiankang on the same day.

It's not that he is blindly optimistic, but the big array put forward by Chen Jun looks very strong, but it is actually flawed.

The other party opened a distance of nearly 20 miles from north to south, which was a long snake formation, such a long distance, it was difficult to take care of each other, as long as one of them was broken, each point would collapse.

Where is the breaking point? You can't find out until after you engage in battle.

The serious long snake formation, because of the large horizontal distance, the two ends of the head and tail are easy to be broken by the enemy one by one because of the lack of reinforcements, so since they dare to put out the long snake formation, then the cavalry must be arranged at both ends.

If the enemy strikes the "snake head", then the "snake tail" will roll over to the rescue; If the enemy strikes the "snake tail", then the "snake head" will pounce and bite; If the enemy attacks the "snake's belly", then the head and tail come at the same time and strangle the enemy.

In such a long snake formation, the cavalry on both wings is very important, and only by relying on the speed of the cavalry can "head and tail care" be realized; And to break the formation, you must first suppress the cavalry on both wings, limit the speed of the opponent, so that they cannot look at each other.

Only cavalry can suppress cavalry, and the Zhou army has no shortage of cavalry, the key is to suppress the cavalry on both wings of the Chen army, but also to suppress the Chen army's infantry formation, especially to concentrate forces to give priority to breaking through one of the left and right wings of the infantry formation.

If the opposing commander is properly mobilized, even if the cavalry on both flanks is suppressed, it can still deal with the enemy's key attacks, if not, it will be easy to do.

The two armies are slowly approaching, and the two rangers have already started a fight, they are the eyes and ears of their own commanders, responsible for observing the enemy's situation, and at the same time also intercepting the opposing side's rangers approaching their own army formations to inspect the military situation.

As the military formation approached, the two rangers returned separately, bringing some of the on-site situation to their own commanders, and the Zhou army rangers brought good news to the commander Tan Rang: the middle of the Chen army's large array was called "Kong".

When marching and fighting, the main general must play the banner and show his surname, so as not to follow the wrong person and run to other teams, and let his subordinates know their position when fighting.

This has been the case since ancient times, and generally speaking, there is no impersonation, so when the rangers approach the enemy army in battle, it is necessary to look at the banners of the opponent's various divisions, so as to judge who the enemy generals are.

"Holes? There seems to be no one surnamed Kong among the generals of the Chen army. ”

"Could it be the prison army Kong Fan?"

"Yes, it must be this!"

Through the detailed investigation and the description of the surrender of the troops, Tan Rang knew that the emperor of Chen Guo had several close ministers, one of whom was called Kong Fan, who was a civil servant who could only dance and write and ink, and had never led troops to fight.

Just because he was trusted by the Son of Heaven, he was appointed as the supervisor of the army, but in fact, he didn't know anything about arranging troops and setting up camps, he was just a silver-like pewter spearhead, which was useless.

Despite this, the opponent's department is in the middle of the big array, if you choose to break through here at the beginning, it is easy to be rescued by the Chen army on both wings, and the battle will be a stalemate at that time.

This is not what Tan Rang wants, so he has to find another flaw to break through.

The north end of the Chen army's long snake formation is on the shore of Xuanwu Lake, whether it is the Zhou army or the Chen army, the cavalry cannot be used, and the Baitugang at the southern end is open, and it is easy for foot and cavalry to launch an attack in formation.

Tan Rang decided to choose this place to break through, because the banner of the Chen army in Baitugang has the word "Lu", and it is thought that it is Lu Guangda, the general of the Chen army, and the two sons of this person have already surrendered to the Zhou state.

The two Xiao Lu are in Zhou Ying, so this old Lu may not resist to the end.

"Beat the drums, attack!!"

。。。。。。

Baitugang, Chen Jun's military formation, and Lu Guangda, the leader of the army, looked at the Zhou army approaching his side, and ordered to prepare for the battle, and he wanted to prove his loyalty to the imperial court with practical actions.

Lu Guangda's two sons had surrendered to the Zhou State, and wrote a letter to persuade him to know the current affairs and surrender quickly.

Although the Son of Heaven was kind and relieved, did not do anything to deal with it, and gave him some gold, so that he could return to the camp to continue to serve the country, the pressure Lu Guangda felt was still very huge.

Many people questioned him for fornicating with the Zhou State, which made Lu Guangda speechless, and yesterday the Son of Heaven suddenly ordered the official army to go out of the city to meet the Zhou army, so that Lu Guangda wanted to stop talking.

As soon as the Zhou army crossed the river, the official army should take the initiative to fight, so that the other party could not gain a firm foothold in the south of the Yangtze River, and as a result, the official family could not make up their minds. Now that the enemy army has approached the city, it is necessary to defend the city and consume the other party until the rainy season, but the official family wants the official army to attack with all their might.

There must be soldiers to defend the city, and there must be morale, once the officers and soldiers who go out of the city for a decisive battle have three long and two short, Jiankang will be finished!

As a veteran of the battlefield, Lu Guangda disagrees with the decision of the Son of Heaven, but he wants to avoid suspicion, so even if he feels that it is inappropriate, he cannot put forward different opinions.

The son is the son, he is him, the son surrenders to save his life, but he is not this kind of person!

Looking at the tide of enemy troops, I vaguely remembered that year, Hou Jing, the general of the Northern Dynasty, led the rebels to besiege Jiankang, when he was not yet twenty years old, and together with his brother Lu Sida, he led the clansmen to assist the official army to defend Jiankang, but the official army still did not hold Jiankang, and the lives were devastated.

Later, the Qi army attacked Jiankang, he did not participate in the war, but he also knew the risks, and the official army finally defeated the Qi army, not by the king's spirit, but by the soldiers' lives, so today's battle is the time to play with life.

The leader of the army, since the Wei and Jin dynasties, is an important military position to lead the forbidden army, Lu Guangda is deeply trusted by the Son of Heaven, there is no way to repay it, only by killing the enemy in blood, can he prove his innocence.

Therefore, today either the official army wins, and he returns to the city alive; or die on the battlefield and die for your country.

Before the boxes of money and silk were carried into battle, they were the military supplies sent by the Son of Heaven, as well as Lu Guangda's own family wealth, and if they were left at home, they could only get moldy, so they should be used where they were needed most.

"The Son of Heaven has an order, and those who kill the enemy will be rewarded! One head, money consistently, cloth three horses! Lu Guangda stood on the dirt slope and shouted loudly to the soldiers in front of him: "Everyone, follow the generals to kill the enemy and serve the country!" ”
