In the north of the city, on the east bank of Rushui, the Yuzhou army that returned to the division lined up in formation, and the Anzhou army that went out of the city to meet the decisive battle, the commander of the Yuzhou army, the governor of Yuzhou, He Ba Fuen, observed the situation of the enemy army with a clairvoyant mirror.

In the midst of the enemy formation, a banner embroidered with the word 'Yuwen' fluttered in the wind, representing the commander's surname, and Hobavourn looked at the flag and fell into deep thought.

Hanging gourd, there is Ru water on the northwest side of the city, the branch goes out to the left, flows northwest, bends and turns to the east again, the southwest will Ru Shui, the shape is like a hanging gourd, this is also the origin of the name of the hanging gourd city.

Rushui and its tributaries are sandwiched by the hanging gourd, which is its natural moat, and the attacker needs to spend great effort to eliminate the interference of Rushui if the attacker wants to besiege the city.

And now that it has just entered autumn, if you want to attack the city, you will inevitably face the problem of how to break through Rushui, and the troops in Hebavo's hands are obviously not enough to besiege the city, if the Anzhou army shrinks into the city and does not come out, I am afraid that he will really have no way to take the hanging gourd for a while.

Why did the Anzhou army in the city not stand for help, but went out of the city for a decisive battle?

This is a question that makes people think deeply, and He Batvoen is pondering at this time, wondering what the hell the enemy commander, Xiyang Wang Yuwenwen is doing.

In the past few days, Heba Fuen has received news one after another, confirming that Yongzhou to the west of Yuzhou, Shenzhou to the southwest, Xizhou and Gwangju to the south have been occupied by the enemy.

Therefore, for Yu Wenwen, who occupies the hanging gourd, it is the best choice to stick to the reinforcements, relying on the confrontation between the city and the Yuzhou army under the city, and wait for a few days for the reinforcements to arrive, and then you can contact the crisis.

As a result, Yuwenwen actually sent troops out of the city and set up a position to fight a decisive battle with them, such a move either shows that Yuwenwen is a fool or has another reason.

What the hell was Yu Wenwen thinking?

The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he felt, his own soldiers had not yet completed the formation, and the opposing army had not yet finished arranged, so he still had time to ponder this suspicion.

Yuwenwen led the troops to sneak attack the hanging gourd, after this adventure succeeded, the next step was to force the Yuzhou army besieging Fangcheng to return to help, for which Yuwenwen even did not hesitate to slaughter the city, and then spread the news to the Yuzhou army camp on the outskirts of Fangcheng.

In this way, the soldiers of the Yuzhou Army who learned that their relatives had an accident must be excited, and they are anxious to rush back to the hanging gourd to take revenge, if the commander dares to disobey, I am afraid that a mutiny will break out.

Yuwenwen used the method of slaughtering the city to force the Yuzhou army to immediately return to help, so as to achieve the purpose of relieving the siege of Fangcheng, and the next step was to set up an ambush in the middle of the road and ambush the Yuzhou army who were in a hurry to rush back to the hanging gourd.

Therefore, He Bavoen judged that Yuwenwen's attempt was to reproduce the whole process of the Qi army besieging Wei and saving Zhao during the Warring States Period, but he didn't want to become Pang Juan, so during his journey south, he paid great attention to sending ranger sentries to investigate the surrounding enemy situation.

The rangers did find traces of a large number of Anzhou cavalry, which was also due to the flat terrain of Yuzhou, which did not allow the Anzhou army to have many suitable places to set up ambushes, and the other party seemed to be pinning their hopes on cavalry raids, and all kinds of attempts failed one by one under the response of Hebavoorn.

From Yecheng to Xuang, about two or three hundred miles away, halfway through the Yuzhou army smashed two night attack attempts, thinking of this, Heba Fuen felt more and more that the other party dared to go out of the city for a decisive battle at this time, and there must be an ambush.

Where are the ambushes? The terrain around the hanging gourd is flat, and there is Rushui flowing from north to south, and now the battlefield is east of Rushui, so the ambush of the Anzhou army can only be arranged in the eastern wilderness, and it must be cavalry to be effective.

He looked to the east, and saw that the wilderness was full of weeds and sparse woods, and he had sent his rangers to inspect the area, and before the enemy rangers came to intercept him, he probably probed the situation and found no ambush.

Therefore, after thinking about it again and again, he was convinced that the strategy of the enemy commander Yu Wenwen was probably to show weakness, arrange the troops in front, wait for the two army formations to be defeated as soon as the battle began, and wait for the soldiers of the Yuzhou army to chase and kill the rout formation after the chaos of the formation, and then attack from the flank, and then make a final decision.

This kind of tactic has been encountered by Hebavoun, and he has also suffered great losses.

In that year, the two countries of Zhou and Qi competed, and the Chen State of the Southern Dynasty took advantage of the fire to rob, with the general Wu Mingche as the main commander of the Northern Expedition, and the Huainan Qi army was defeated in successive battles, and He Ba Fuen, who was still the general of Qi at that time, was ordered to lead the army south to reinforce, but was defeated by Wu Mingche with the strategy of showing weakness and luring the enemy.

That defeat made Heba Fuen unforgettable, so he would never repeat the same mistake today, and when the troops came to report that their side was in formation, he gave an order: "Let the dead be ready, the other party may be defeated, then the plan will be calculated, and the final word will be made!" ”

。。。。。。

Before the battle, Liang Er drank all the wine in the bowl in his hand in one go, and then threw it down suddenly, the big bowl fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces, and the others also drank up the wine in their respective bowls, and then smashed the bowl.

The sound of cracking came and went, and several generals saluted the dead soldiers lined up in several rows: "Heroes! After the enemy, you must come back alive! ”

"It's just death!"

The dead soldiers shouted in unison, Liang Er shouted hoarsely, clenching the long knife and shield in his hand, since he learned that day that his family died tragically in the city, his heart was dead, so he volunteered to be a dead soldier.

Many soldiers learned that their family members had been killed, and like Liang Er, they were now wearing double armor and wanted to be the vanguard of the formation, opening the gap in the enemy's large array at any cost, and giving their lives for the final victory.

When the Chinese army heard the sound of a horn, it was a signal to attack, and the dead soldiers came to the front of the military formation, and after lining up in formation, they slowly advanced with the military formation.

At a distance of 100 paces, the archers of both sides began to shoot at each other in front of the formation, and the closer the two armies became, the archers withdrew from their respective formations after shooting the last round of arrows, and the distance between the two sides was only thirty paces.

As the drums sounded, the movement speed of the two military formations suddenly accelerated, and Liang Er, who was a dead soldier in the battle, protected the front with a shield, staring at the enemy in front of him with his eyes, and the tragic situation of his relatives being killed appeared in his mind.

The white-haired parents, chopped to a blur of flesh and blood, fell in a pool of blood, and the young son, who was picked up on a spear, like a small fish speared by a harpoon, had long since lost his breath.

And his daughter-in-law Zhang Mengniang has been ravaged to death, lying on the ground without a wisp, her body is cold, and she can't see it.

My home is gone! All thanks to you, beasts!

Liang Er's eyes cracked when he thought of this, and the hand holding the hilt of the knife began to tremble because it was too hard, and the same was true of the companions around him who formed the shield wall together, and the comrades in the back row, holding the thunder in their arms, and holding the torch tightly in the other hand.

Everyone stared at the enemy army in front of them with hatred, and they had put life and death on the line, waiting to avenge their families and die with each other.

Seeing that they were about to enter the throwing distance of the thunder, the generals shouted "steady", and the spearmen flattened their spears, but the Anzhou military formation on the opposite side was a little strange.

The front row of the Anzhou army formation is also a knife player, but the spear behind him is not flattened, and there are many big horns in the array, which have not seen any movement from the beginning to the present.

Many men and women in cloth clothes appeared next to the shield, Liang Er and the others were stunned when they saw this, and then heard the voice from the loudspeaker of the Anzhou Army, and the other party shouted through the loudspeaker in the local dialect of the Hanging Gourd:

"Soldiers of the Yuzhou Army! Your family is here, not a single hair is missing, don't come and recognize people soon! ”

The sudden change made the officers and soldiers of the Yuzhou army lose their minds instantly, and the governors were the first to react, shouting hoarsely: "The thief cheats!" Don't be fooled! ”

Their shouts were instantly overshadowed by the shouts from the opposite side, and the men and women in the Anzhou army continued to shout their names loudly, with different names, and they listened to the ears of the Yuzhou army officers and soldiers, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

Liang Er's eyes widened, looking at the men and women in cloth in front of him, because he seemed to hear a tide of calls, mixed with his name, and the voice calling his name was a female voice, which sounded familiar.

"Liang Er... Liang Er..."

The long knife in his hand fell to the ground with a "clang", and Liang Er looked ahead with a trembling sound, as if he was seeing a ghost, because he saw a thin figure in the group of people, who was his daughter-in-law Zhang Mengniang.

This, this, this... What's going on? Isn't Meng Niang dead?
