The obvious advantage of his own side is a good time to "let go of Wushuang", and the enthusiastic Yuwen Wen waved his hand to let people lead the horse over and was about to step on it, but was surrounded by the guards sent by his father: "County Lord, the chief manager has an order not to rush into battle." ”

When preparing for the war before, Yu Wenliang specially sent them to follow Yu Wenwen, what he was afraid of was that this kid had listened to too many stories and his head was playing hot and rushing into battle, and the two fathers and sons also quarreled at that time:

"It's okay to lead the army, don't charge into battle!"

"Why! The eldest husband was born in troubled times, and when he brought a three-foot sword to make immortal achievements, "Yu Wenwen involuntarily brought into the Three Kingdoms, Donglai, Tai Shici.

"Three-foot sword? You let your daughter-in-law give birth to a son first! "The old man blew his beard and stared, this time he didn't even have a son now, what should I do if something happens, last time I didn't check it for a while, let him fool him into the past to Beijiang Prefecture to do what he did "don't enter the tiger's den to get the tiger", looking back and thinking about it, I was so scared.

The guards tightly surrounded Yuwen Wen to separate him from the horse, and Yuwen Fifteen had already mounted his horse at this time, and he heard the horn of the formation and immediately fished in troubled waters: "Lord Lang sits in the military tent, and he will go back when he goes to Fifteen!" ”

"What for! What are you going to do! Yuwen Wen was set up by the guards, and watched Yuwen Fifteen lead Fifth Brother Chen and the others to ride away.

"I have made meritorious contributions to Anzhou, I have shed blood for the army, you can't do this, I want to see the governor, I want to see the governor!"

The chief manager Yu Wenliang has already led his own soldiers to charge the army, and only Sima is in charge of the Chinese army, and the surrounding generals are gearing up to grab people's heads, except for the dozen or so guards, no one pays attention to him, the 'sunset county prince'.

"Don't worry, don't worry, sit with this general in the Chinese army and wait for the good news." Sima came over with a smile on his face, and asked people to put the Hu bed - that is, Maza.

At the same time, the eastern flank of the Xiangzhou army formation.

Seeing the enemy cavalry roaring and rushing, the overseer general's pale face commanded the soldiers to defend urgently, and the spearmen rushed to the east flank of the army in a panic, but they were lined up by the opponent's cavalry bows.

The first wave of Anzhou cavalry put away their bows and swung their spears and crashed into the military formation, some of them were pierced by spears, and some of their horses were stabbed, but the huge momentum still made people and horses crash into the infantry group, and the battle line that the Xiangzhou army had finally organized was instantly unrecognizable.

The main force of the Anzhou cavalry that followed rushed straight into the army formation without any shelter, and the east wing of the Xiangzhou army was shaken like a lake being thrown into the ripples by boulders, and the Anzhou army array erupted into a continuous wave: "Defeated, Xiangzhou defeated!" ”

In the Chinese army, Wang Yi watched with a pale face as countless Anzhou cavalry crashed into the east side of his army's formation, like a sharp blade cutting through tofu, the soldiers who were originally demoralized by the repeated shots of giant arrows collapsed instantly, and the Xiangzhou army array collapsed like a landslide, and countless people fled to the rear crying.

"Order, the rear army will line up immediately, and you must resist it!" He danced and shouted in an attempt to turn the tide, "If the defeated soldiers retreat, let them run on both sides, and if they dare to rush into battle, they will be killed!" ”

"Let the people of the baggage team behind them take out all the valuable things and throw them on the ground, and throw them as loose as possible!"

"Turn the car sideways, and let the people, and everyone take their weapons and stand behind!"

"The trumpet blows! Gather all the soldiers around to protect the banner of the Chinese army, and whoever dares to retreat will be killed! ”

Wang Yi commanded his subordinates to arrange the defense line calmly, and the herald soldiers were anxious to convey instructions back and forth, and a new human wall was forming three or four hundred meters in front of the Chinese army, and the generals on the side looked at the comrades who were defeated and shouted:

"Run in both directions, run in both directions! Don't worry about all the kills who dare to hit the formation!"

The defeated soldier who took the lead was still quite sober, and when he saw that the formation had been set up in front of him, he knew that it was really fatal not to get out of the way, so he ran to both sides, but the crowd behind him was surging, and most of those who wanted to get out of the way were coerced and ran straight forward.

"Shoot the arrows!" The generals knew the consequences of the defensive line being broken away, and they could only use blood to make the defeated soldiers obey, the bowstring sounded, the front end of the crowd was condensed, but they were immediately pushed and pushed by the rear to continue to advance, countless people were pushed to the ground and trampled by the comrades running from behind, and the cries and cries came one after another.

Behind him, the sound of the Anzhou army was shocking, and the slow runners were caught up and cut to the ground, the smell of blood became stronger and stronger, and seeing that his own people did not let him retreat, the defeated army of Xiangzhou immediately broke out: "Kill your own people, and if you don't give you a way to live, I will fight with you!" ”

The defeated army was red-eyed, and in order to flee for their lives, they slashed their weapons at their comrades by any means, many of them were poked to the ground, and more people rushed into the defense line and slashed wildly, and the defense line that the Chinese army hastily organized only held out for a while before they sacrificed their lives to break through, and the defeat was like a mountain, and the situation could not be reversed.

The Anzhou cavalry was divided into three divisions, one was the unit that fought with the enemy cavalry on the west flank of the original army formation, and now they defeated the other party and pursued them all the way north; The second part is the main cavalry of the eastern flank, driving the defeated army to run towards the Chinese army like a snowball; The other part rushed from the east flank to the baggage team behind the Xiangzhou army formation, trying to copy the rear road of the army.

"Marshal, marshal!" A general pulled him with a sad face, "The matter has come to this point, quickly retreat, and return to Xiangyang to make plans!" ”

"How can this be, this will be like this!" Wang Yi couldn't accept this fact, but kept muttering: "My army, so much baggage"

This time, the south waterway and the ship to load the baggage was originally to go ashore in Changshou, but since learning that Changshou was lost, the baggage has been carried ashore in advance and moved with the army.

The soldiers on the left and right looked at each other, stepped forward, lifted the commander up on his horse, and escorted him to gallop north.

The Anzhou soldiers who were chasing the defeated soldiers and rushed to the front saw the baggage convoy in the distance and was about to kill it, but they saw countless copper coins, brocades and other valuable things scattered on the ground in front of them, many people's eyes were shining, and their steps slowed down to try to pick up those things, and the Xiangzhou soldiers hiding behind the baggage convoy clenched their weapons when they saw this.

"Wait, wait until they stop and grab something before rushing!" A general looked at the Anzhou army and whispered, signaling his subordinates to steady.

They threw the money on the ground, just waiting for the pursuers to stop and pick up things when they saw the money, so that they could take the opportunity to rush over and kill by surprise.

However, this ploy failed, and the general of the Anzhou army who followed him shouted loudly: "Don't pick it up!" Don't pick it up! ”

"The manager said that a head hangs money, who dares to pick up things and kill them!"

"There's an ambush ahead, don't be fooled!"

The pursuers only hesitated for a moment and continued to chase forward, and countless cavalry behind them also caught up, and the defeated troops of Xiangzhou were gradually submerged by the Anzhou army in the bloody storm.

The army won and covered all the way, and Yu Wenwen, who had no chance to 'let go of Wushuang', helplessly commanded the aftermath of the three hundred 'trumpeters', and was followed by more than a dozen guards for fear that he would 'escape'.

He came to a row of three-bow bed crossbows and looked at these 'big killing weapons' that he had made under his guidance: there were thirty three-bow bed crossbows, which they had worked hard to get out of Anzhou's stock of bow-making materials.

The soldiers who operated the three-bow bed crossbow carefully waited for these sharp weapons, and the two armies faced each other against them, and they inflicted heavy losses on the enemy with these sharp weapons.

"Princess, this thing is really useful!" A general excitedly shared his joy as he was in charge of the thirty-bed crossbows.

"It is a man-made pulley winding device with a complex structure." Yu Wenwen had the same bad taste for the naming of the items as always, he looked at the outrageously simple pulley sets on the ground and nodded: "Put it away carefully, it will be useful in the future." ”

The three-bow bed crossbow is powerful, but the shortcomings are also obvious: the winding is slow, so Yuwenwen's countermeasure is to use a pulley mechanism to wind it, but the time is too hasty to make a durable and portable device, so he comes to a local method.

Every three bed crossbows are a group of ten groups, each group is equipped with a soil winder, the earth method winder is very simple: the round wood slice is made of pulleys with a total of four grooves chiseled, and the large iron nails are firmly nailed to the ground, of course, there is a hole in the middle of the pulley that can be rotated flexibly, and a long rope with a thick wrist is passed through the pulley to make a pulley group, and when used, twenty soldiers are allowed to pull.

Anyway, the bed crossbow does not move, and it doesn't matter if the pulley group is fixed on the ground, shoot one by one after three bed crossbows and then wind them up, and repeat the operation in turn until the two sides are short-handed, and the winding time is shorter than expected, and the effect is okay.

"Take all the arrows back, and you'll need them in a few days." Yu Wenwen instructed three hundred 'trumpeters' to retrieve the giant arrows used in the bed crossbow.

It's good that this can be recycled, but the monkey burned money once and made me feel distressed

As soon as Yu Wenwen thought of the copper coins he had spent, his heart was dripping blood, and the stocks of saltpeter and sulfur in Anzhou and its subordinate states were not large, so how to effectively use the gunpowder made became the biggest problem.

Thinking about it, it is still a monkey, the prototype is a "swarm of bees", and a bamboo whistle is added to it in order to make a sound when it is launched, and the effect is okay to scare the military horse enough during the test launch, and I don't expect to be able to second people This is enough.

This time, he and his father made a plan, deliberately showing weakness when the army was stalemate, so that the Xiangzhou cavalry could attack, and this side used the sky monkey to scare the horses (of course, just in case, there was also a tripping horse), and when the other party was in a mess, then take the opportunity to fight back.

The cavalry did not have a large array of flanks exposed, and then it was basically a final blow to be rushed by their own cavalry, but this Sky Monkey is a disposable supply, and there is no hope in the next fierce battle.

Yuwen Wen was bored and squatted on the battlefield in a daze, he didn't sleep well all night last night, he simply made up for sleep, anyway, what if he didn't sleep if he didn't have a share.

Until the sun turned west, the results of the battle finally came out: the Xiangzhou army was completely wiped out, only more than ten horsemen broke through the encirclement and fled north, countless people were killed or trampled on each other, and tens of thousands of people were captured, and the marching marshal Wang Yi was not seen, and he should have fled, the Xiangzhou army was defeated too quickly, and the baggage was not burned and all fell into his own hands, and the commander of the march, Feng Hui and Li Yuan, were killed, and the armor, horses, and arrows obtained were not counted.

However, there were thousands of cavalry who went all the way north and never came back, and when they saw that the generals didn't seem to care, the people below didn't say anything: After a morning of fighting, there is wine today and drunk today!

At night, a big feast was held in Changshou City to reward the soldiers of Anzhou, of course, in case it was a flowing water feast, as for the wine, it was limited to three bowls per person, but the exception of this battle hero can be drunk openly, and the people who performed heroically and made great achievements today were drunk and full of red light, and Yuwen who had snatched countless heads was drunk and crazy to be naked, and was knocked unconscious by Chen Wudi's punch.

Just when there was a commotion in the city to celebrate the achievement, Yu Wenwen walked on the west wall of Changshou City to inspect the city defense, and he carefully stared at the water surface of the Han River outside the city, for fear that someone would sneak across the river.

Opposite the Han River is the territory of the Great Zhou vassal state - the Liang State, although Yu Wenwen knew that in history, the monarchs and ministers of the Liang State were frightened by Yang Jian, the left prime minister of the auxiliary government, and did not dare to take advantage of the fire to rob and attack Anzhou, but it was better to be careful.

A group of soldiers behind him carried rice buckets and baskets on their backs, which contained rice, dried meat, wine jugs, and porcelain bowls, and they followed Yuwenwen all the way, so that the soldiers on duty at night could also eat and drink.

"Thank you, Princess." The soldiers thanked each other with gratitude.

"Everyone worked hard tonight, and my father was on duty with everyone!"

His father, Yu Wenliang, arranged for the troops on duty at night just in case, and at his suggestion, he sent generals to reward the soldiers on duty, and such scenes were also staged at the east, south, and north sides of the city.

"It's up to you tomorrow." Yuwen Wen looked to the north, looking at a place he couldn't possibly see......

The next morning, Hannan City, Wuquan County, Xiangzhou.

Hannan City is located in the south side of Xiangyang City, about 80 miles away on the west bank of the Han River, there is a pontoon bridge on the Han River outside the east gate to the east bank, at the beginning of the month, the marching marshal Wang Yi is to lead the army from the pontoon bridge to cross the river along the east bank of the Han River to the south, and the fleet of waterway to transport baggage is also from here down the river to the south.

The distance from Hannan to Yingzhou Prefecture to the south is about 1780 miles, and the imperial army should also arrive in Changshou East to attack the Anzhou rebels, and I don't know what the battle situation is.

"How? Of course, it's overwhelming! The city gate officials spit on their subordinates about current affairs, they are the east gate guards who are responsible for collecting the city tax, and there are not many pedestrians on weekdays.

"This time, Marshal Wang personally led an army of 80,000 to the south, and the other way is about the same number, where can the Anzhou rebels resist by dividing their troops." The gatekeeper took a sip of the teapot.

"Eighty thousand? Didn't you say 200,000? "A cadre of soldiers will be suspicious, this time Marshal Wang went south with great momentum, everyone said that the army is 200,000 people, plus the total army of the East Road is 500,000, then the Anzhou rebels are the mantis arm as a car.

"There are clouds in the art of war: the real is the virtual, and the virtual is the real." The city gate official shook his head, "My brother-in-law, the carpenter next door, the third son of his second uncle, and the second uncle of his mother-in-law, are very well-informed about things in the yamen."

"What's going on over there?" A soldier pointed to the outside of the city and said, and everyone around him looked over and saw a large group of cavalry galloping north on the official road across the river, which seemed to be about to cross the pontoon bridge.

"Hurry up and pack up and don't get in the way!" The city gate official jumped up with a spirit, and now it is the period when the army is heading south to quell the rebellion, if it annoys this group of fighting men, it is not enough to cut off the head.

Seeing the cavalry turn onto the pontoon bridge, the city gate official looked a little puzzled, and he found that the cavalry team seemed to be divided into one front and one behind, and the number of horsemen in front looked panicked, each waving a hand to this side, and seemed to shout something.

He thought that it was the front road clearing cavalry telling him to give way here, and quickly led his men to clear the pedestrians near the city gate to clear the empty bluestone road, squeezing out smiling faces and waiting with his men on both sides of the city gate.

When the other party approached, the city gate official faintly heard them shouting hoarsely, "Close the city gate, close the city gate quickly." When the crowd was puzzled and looked at each other, those people had already rushed to the front:

"There are enemy troops behind, close the city gates!"

By the time they could react, the men had already rushed through the gates towards the city, shouting incessantly, "The rebels have attacked the city!" The city gate officer's face turned pale in an instant, and he looked back to see that the cavalry vanguard had crossed the pontoon bridge, drew their long knives, and rushed towards the city gate.

"Hurry, close and run!" He stumbled out of the city, and a few frightened soldiers behind him were about to learn from their superiors to escape, but it was too late for the cavalry to whistle and splash blood, and they were knocked to the ground.

"The Anzhou army is here, and those who dare to resist will be killed!"

The black-pressed cavalry shouted loudly and rushed into the city, and the city of Hannan was stirred by them to boil!
