Chapter Ninety-Seven

"We are willing to follow the general to get this beast."

Zhang Xuan said: "Lou Lei." ”

"The end will be." Lou Lei said.

Zhang Xuan said: "Immediately send orders to the three camps and ask them to hurry up. Zhang Xuan said as he looked up at the sun, it was almost noon now. He said: "Before Shen Shi, the various divisions must arrive at the battlefield. ”

It was three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Yes." Lou Lei said.

"And." Zhang Xuan paused slightly, and said, "Let them go directly from the left camp, so that it is faster." ”

"Yes." Lou Lei hesitated slightly, and immediately passed on the order.

Immediately, Zhang Xuan gave an order, and more than 30,000 soldiers lined up.

This time, Zhang Xuan put the hand-to-hand combat class in front and the firecracker in the back.

If it weren't for the lack of joint training, Zhang Xuan would even want to mix the two, as if it was like a Spanish phalanx, with cold weapons as the wall and muskets as the dominant output.

But for a while, it could only be like this.

After this big battle, Zhang Xuan no longer knew how many things that needed to be improved in his booklet.

"Of course, if I have the opportunity to improve." Zhang Xuan said secretly in his heart. Because he knows that there are so many things in the world, in fact, there is no second chance.

Although in order to rescue Yang Shenzu, Zhang Xuan's pace was still not slow.

After all, whether to save or not to save is a matter of great principle. But how to save it is a matter of technical details. No matter how anxious you are, it won't help. You have to settle down in order to look for opportunities.

However, it seems that as soon as Zhang Xuan's side came out, the official army immediately gave up on Yang Shenzu.

It seems that the goal has been achieved, and it seems that because the cavalry is not easy to besiege, Zuo Liangyu used almost all of his horse team to trap Yang Shenzu.

Yang Shenzu came to Zhang Xuan with some shame, knelt on the ground, and said, "The last general is guilty, please punish the general." ”

Zhang Xuan turned over and dismounted, helped Yang Shenzu up, and said: "This matter will be discussed later, today's battle, I need General Yang's best to help." ”

Yang Shenzu gritted his teeth and said, "Please rest assured, even if Yang dies here today, he will also bite Zuo Liangyu." ”

"Okay." Zhang Xuan said: "It's up to General Yang today." ”

After appeasing Yang Shenzu here, Zuo Liangyu seemed to be unable to hold it back and had already begun to attack.

Zhang Xuan didn't know if the firecrackers could be as outstanding as defending the base. However, until now, there is only one war, and only one war.

Yang Shenzu's task was still to protect the two wings, and the cavalry on both sides fought, and Zuo Liangyu's foot soldiers also rushed up.

Arrows fly like locusts, and arrows rain down.

The soldiers of all divisions held their shields and protected the musketeers, but the firecrackers of Cao Ying also opened fire one after another. Just

At first, it was clear, but as time went on, the battle lines between the two sides became more and more chaotic. Zhang Xuan's department is fine.

The queue formation is almost imprinted to the bones.

Although there were many casualties, the momentum was maintained. But not with the officers and soldiers.

Zuo Liangyu's military discipline is not good, and it is not a day or two, even if Zuo Liangyu's old background is just to scare people with ferocity. Military discipline is better than that of the general Ming army, but it is difficult for some strongmen to maintain formation in battle.

Sure enough, when the queue started fighting, it became chaotic and turned into a mass surrounded by flags.

Such an army is naturally inferior to Zhang Xuan's department.

But there is an advantage that Zhang Xuan has no way to deal with.

That's a lot of people.

When there are more people to a certain extent, other advantages can be offset.

The right way in the art of war is to bully the weak with the strong and fight the weak with more, and there is really no way to deal with this matter.

However, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of Zhang Xuan's department is, on top of the absolute numerical superiority, it can only be suppressed in one place, and it is impossible to even retreat.

Because as soon as the two sides fought, Zuo Liangyu's first thing was to send people to attack in a detour.

Zhang Xuan had to order the rear formation, and collectively turned backwards, almost back-to-back with the front.

However, at this point, in the middle of the disadvantage, Zhang Xuan is not without a chance of winning.

His chances were that the three armies around him would arrive separately.

The armies of both sides are densely located on this battlefield within a radius of more than ten miles, so they are not far from each other. It can be said that the sound of fighting here can be heard by them over there. If it weren't for the proximity, Zhang Xuan wouldn't have separated the army.

The prerequisite for any division of troops is to be able to gather.

Even now, Zhang Xuan still feels that at such a close distance, the main force of the left battalion is here, and the other three teams, no matter what the situation is, can guarantee that they will arrive at the battlefield before the afternoon Shen time, that is, before three o'clock in the afternoon.

Whatever the reason.

"It's just that this kind of hope for others is really uncomfortable." Zhang Xuan said secretly in his heart.

Time is the key to victory or defeat. While Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth and stayed up for time, Zuo Liangyu was also staring at the sun.

It was past noon.

Zuo Liangyu listened to the bad news all morning, even if he suppressed Zhang Xuan to a corner, even if he led Zhang Xuan out of the strong camp, there was still no way to take Zhang Xuan down in one fell swoop. What I heard was nothing more than that so-and-so's attack was frustrated, so-and-so suffered heavy losses, and so on.

Zuo Liangyu has already sent his own soldiers to supervise the battle, and even after the battle, more than a hundred steps away, no matter what the reason, whether it is Zuo Liangyu's descendants or not.

However, there has been no decisive progress.

"Luo Rucai really has a good son-in-law." Zuo Liangyu said secretly in his heart.

"Report." One of the scouts said, "The three men have already entered the camp

Middle. ”

Zuo Liangyu didn't raise his eyebrows and said, "Do as planned." ”

However, in a moment, everyone knew what Zuo Liangyu's plan was.

Zhang Xuan saw the flames rising into the sky from a distance. In the swagger that kept being several miles away, Zhang Xuan could even feel the heat of the flames. For a moment, Zhang Xuan felt cold.

It's not a physical chill, it's a good idea to be caught off guard and not know what to do.

Zhang Xuan divided his subordinates into four departments, but among the four departments, there were also fiction and reality, and the number of people outside the West Gate was the smallest, almost an empty camp bluffing. There aren't many people at all. Zhang Xuan decided that this was Zuo Liangyu's main direction of escape.

If you block it, you can't stop it.

On the east side, it was reinforced on top of the original camp, and there were not many people, but with a strong camp, it was enough to hold this place. On the north and south sides, Zhang Xuan personally sat on the north side, while Cao Zongyu was on the south side, and the distribution of troops also focused on two places.

The reinforcements that Zhang Xuan is looking forward to, the most important one is Cao Zongyu.

But this fire made Zhang Xuan feel desperate for a moment.

Zhang Xuan knew that this fire would not last long, after all, there was not enough combustibles, and if he was allowed to burn it, he would not be able to burn it. Even if Zuo Liangyu piled up all the unused baggage and turned it into a wall of fire, it could burn for a few hours at most.

It's just that Zhang Xuan knows that a few hours is enough to decide the outcome of a battle.

Zhang Xuan felt that he could hold on until dark. But it's not easy after dark.

After all, Zuo Liangyu is not Fang Guoan. And even if Zuo Liangyu is likely not to die on Zhang Xuan, when Zhang Xuan can't contain Zuo Liangyu, it means that Zuo Liangyu's army has the right to move freely.

The entire battlefield is divided into three places, and the distance between them is only more than ten miles, and you can feel it overnight, if Zuo Liangyu is allowed to defeat the two wings first, even if Zhang Xuan repairs it, there is no possibility of turning the tide.

In this way, the battle will be lost.

But how can such a crucial battle be lost?

Zhang Xuan took a deep breath, not thinking about whether Cao Zongyu could come, but staring at Zuo Liangyu's banner, Zhang Xuan knew that Zuo Liangyu was under this banner.

"I've had to change my strategy." Zhang Xuan thought: "30,000 against 100,000, this battle may not be unwinnable, but it depends on how I want to fight." ”

"It's time to fight hard."

I don't know when, Zhang Xuan didn't care too much about his life.

It seems that Zhang Xuan is more afraid of defeat than death, and he is more afraid of the cause he is fighting for, because he will end up in defeat.

Compared to this, death is not terrible.

Zhang Xuan immediately summoned the last reserve team, there were not many of them, that is, Qin Meng's department, Zhang Xuan pointed to Zuo Liangyu's banner and said, "The goal this time is to kill Zuo Liangyu." ”
