Chapter 12 Simple and Rough [Seeking Collections and Recommendations]

The next morning, the decisive battle began.

The main force of the Anzhou Army set up a formation, the army array stretched for several miles, and the southern army a few miles away to the north was not to be outdone, and the drums and horns were even like the sea of flags.

The sun rose in the east and the fog on the riverside dissipated, and as both sides expected, the main force of the Anzhou army took the lead in attacking.

In the center is the infantry formation, together with the cavalry on the left flank (west flank) and the right flank (east flank), the black pressure army is slowly approaching the north like a tide.

A continuous horn sounded and the army of Zhengnan also heard the sound and moved, they were also dressed in black military robes and stood for the battle, the two armies were both a huge 'Zhou' word, the former comrades have now become enemy troops,

The rangers on both sides were the first to attack each other, and the enemy and us chased back and forth in the wilderness between the two armies, leaving a mess, and the distance of the army gradually approached the range of the bow and arrow, and the archers went out to cover the advance of their respective infantry formations.

Liang Shiyan, the marshal of the southern march, looked at the Anzhou military formation on the opposite side and was quite complacent, this time he took the initiative to choose the battlefield, resulting in the opponent's giant crossbow being unable to play, making the so-called advantage of the Anzhou army almost disappear.

There were many ponds and wetlands about 700 paces to the south of the place where they were arrayed, so that the giant crossbows of the Anzhou army could not be lined up, and it was inconvenient for them to play a role.

After the defeat of the marching marshal Wang Yi Changshou last year, he wrote to Yang Jian, who was then the prime minister of Zuo, and talked about the various situations of the giant crossbow used by the Anzhou army in his heart, especially its range was about 700 steps.

Therefore, one of the reasons why the food shortage policy was implemented this time and camped here was that the terrain allowed the giant crossbows of the Anzhou Army in the south to be inconvenient to move and could not be smoothly lined up to exert the greatest power.

This terrain is really working now, as soon as the Anzhou army comes up, it takes the initiative to attack without covering with a giant crossbow, and after the two armies collide together, the giant crossbow can no longer be used.

Seeing that the two armies were approaching the range of bows and arrows, and then about to enter hand-to-hand combat, Liang Shiyan breathed a sigh of relief, last night he and a cadre of marching commanders discussed for a long time, and decided to take many countermeasures, that is, to prevent the other party from using some terrible ordnance to turn the tide of the battle, and now the main forces of the two armies are entangled together, the so-called rat thrower, I don't believe what tricks the other party can use.

At this moment, a lieutenant general reported that the sentry on the Chinese army's lookout car had detected that there were many carriages accompanying the opposing infantry army.

"Carriage?" Liang Shiyan thought about it and first vetoed the idea that the carriage was a chariot soldier, although the chariot was quite powerful against the infantry, it could not fight the cavalry at all, and there were no people using chariots in today's era.

Besides, even if you want to use it, you have to use it early, take advantage of the distance enough to let the carriage run, so that it has the impact power, now the two sides are so close to each other, using the chariot soldier is to find death, whether it is a chariot or a cavalry, once they rush into the infantry formation, there is no speed, there is no way to escape, there are weapons in all directions, no one can parry.

This question didn't make Liang Shiyan struggle for long, and when the archers on both sides were still firing at each other, many carriages rushed out of the Anzhou army formation.

But the carriage was very strange, there were two horses pulling the carriage, each of them wearing waistcoats, which was tightly covered from end to end, and the cart behind them was a four-wheeled cart, and its carriage was tightly covered.

There is no curtain in the carriage, and it is impossible to see what is inside, and the archers of the southern army of the southern army saw that the other party was charging into formation, although they did not know what was on the car, they still concentrated their firepower and released arrows to the carriage, and the distance between the two armies was more than a hundred steps at this time, and there was no space for cavalry to exert their arms, so they could only use bows and arrows to block.

After a wave of feathered arrows covered it, many arrows were inserted on both the horse and the carriage, but the other party still rushed forward as if nothing happened, and after a while, he crashed into the large array of the southern army, making people turn over on their backs.

Suddenly, a fire erupted at the place where the carriage collided, and at the same time, there was a loud noise, and bursts of black smoke rose in succession, and the blood and flesh were blurred within more than ten steps around the place where the black smoke rose.

Before they could come to their senses, many more carriages came galloping and crashed into the formation without hindrance, because the soldiers in the front row had been hit by an inexplicable 'falling lightning' and turned into flesh, and no one stopped the carriage from galloping into the formation.

After the carriage penetrated deep into the military formation for more than ten steps, it suddenly burst into flames, turning the surrounding crowd into stumps and broken arms, and after the second round of 'thunder', the soldiers of the central phalanx of the southern army saw the third wave of carriages rushing over, and they couldn't bear it psychologically and began to panic.

They had never seen such a simple and rude way of attacking, and their comrades were killed by the inexplicable explosion of fire before they could engage with each other, and although they were wearing armor, they still couldn't avoid the tragic situation of a split head and a bleeding from the nose and mouth.

The third wave of carriages exploded in the large array of the Southern Army, and then the large array of the Anzhou Army erupted into a tidal wave of shouts and killings and rushed towards them, and the soldiers of the Southern Army could no longer withstand the complete collapse.

First the few remaining front rows, then the middle of the rebirth after the catastrophe, and then the back row of the rumors, the bloody disaster brought by the three rounds of loud noises had destroyed their morale, and the collapse spread like ripples throughout the great array of the southern army, and finally formed a landslide and a crack.

In the Central Military Department, Marshal Liang Shiyan looked at the bursts of black smoke rising in his own army formation with a solemn face, he was still thinking about what great means the Anzhou Army would have, but now he saw it with his own eyes to uncover the mystery.

"No wonder, no wonder Fan Cheng fell after a few days." Liang Shiyan looked at the army that was beginning to collapse, and did not make any countermeasures, but muttered to himself.

It didn't matter whether it was a demon or a Danshi technique, Liang Shiyan knew the answer he wanted to know the most.

If this thing is used to attack the city, I am afraid that it will be indestructible, and the walls of Fancheng are afraid that they will be instantly broken by these things, and the fortresses in the city will not be able to resist this terrifying power and be destroyed.

"So it's not the defenders of Fancheng who surrender to the enemy, but your Yuwen Liang's means!" Liang Shiyan looked up to the sky and laughed, and when he got the answer to the question he had been entangled all night, a stone fell to the ground in his heart.

As a former colleague and colleague, Liang Shiyan is very familiar with Yu Wenliang, and on the way back to his division from the attack on Chen Guo in March last year, he joked with the other party that he was not old and was 'hiding in the golden house' in Chang'an.

So he knows Yuwen Liang's ability: the ability to govern affairs is bland and the use of soldiers is also the golden mean, but in the Yuwen clan, he is also the tallest among the short, and he is the only clan that serves as the chief manager and holds heavy troops outside.

"It is precisely because of this that Wang Yijun will take it lightly, eat the battle, and finally lose his life." Liang Shiyan sneered and waved his hand to stop the anxious-looking lieutenant general's request for him to order measures to save the situation.

Wang Yi, the governor of Xiangzhou and the marshal of the march, who died in Xiangyang City last year, was called Yijun, so Liang Shiyan, who was 25 years older than him, called the other party so.

Liang Shiyan was already sixty-six years old, and the loud noise shook his heart so fast that he almost lost his breath, but now instead of witnessing the panic of the collapse of the army, he calmly drank a glass of water.

A big man with a whole body draped in shape came to him and knelt down on one knee and said, "Lord Lang, the horses are ready!" ”

"Very good, forget the order, they will retreat without giving the order." After Liang Shiyan finished the order, he left the Chinese army without looking back, leaving the adjutant generals who looked at each other.

With the help of the big man, Liang Shiyan rode on his horse, and before leaving, he glanced at this person and said, "Liang Mo, it will depend on your performance in a while." ”

"Little obedience!" The man known as Liang Mo solemnly saluted......

On the east flank of the battlefield, outside the Hexi camp, the defenders of Anzhou, who had already completed the formation, looked at the battle situation in front of them and were dumbfounded.

When the two armies were slowly approaching, Sima Zheng Wanqing, the chief general and chief of the defenders, still felt that it would take half a day of battle to see whether the situation was good or bad, but he never thought that his own army would use simple and crude means to defeat the enemy army as soon as it came up.

What the hell is on that carriage that has such power!

The rest of the generals were full of joyful discussions, but Zheng Wanqing couldn't help but glance at the spear array on the right flank, specifically a person in the spear array: Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County.

As one of the henchmen of the chief manager Yu Wenliang, Zheng Wanqing knows some secrets that outsiders don't know, especially about the second son of the chief manager, Yu Wenwen.

Last year, the ordnance that made countless contributions to the Anzhou army's defeat of the imperial army: "Eight Ox Force Towed Three-in-One Winch Crossbow", "Cross-Era Long Range Gravity Projectile Cannon", "Extreme Western Roman Torsion Power Direct-Aim Ballista", "Brown Motion Medicine Splash Monkey" were made by craftsmen according to Yu Wenwen's instructions.

In particular, the "cross-era long-range gravity projectile cannon" took two days to break the impregnable Xiangyang City, and Zheng Wanqing suspected that the messenger had misspoken after hearing the news in the rear.

The world doesn't know what Yuwenwen's credit is, and the son of the chief manager 'one tiger and one cat' is really ridiculous, combined with Yuwenwen's envoy to Chang'an, directly provoked Prime Minister Yang Jian's anger on the main hall, and then retreated to Anlu with his whole body, which is not a kind of luck that can be explained clearly.

Not to mention anything else, it can be regarded as a means to hold back the 'facial paralysis' of the general manager who does not know the warmth and coldness of the world.

Zheng Wanqing was originally a person from the Southern Dynasty, and in the last years of the Liang Dynasty, he entered the Western Wei Dynasty with his father, and later the Western Wei Dynasty became the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and he became a courtier of the Great Zhou.

He was grateful to Emperor Wu of Zhou for the kindness of his acquaintance and decided to be loyal to the Great Zhou, so his boss Yu Wenliang decided to raise troops against Yang, he waved his flag and shouted without any objections, and now he looks at the two sons of the chief manager who are performing well, and his heart is much more relieved.

Looking at the sky from afar, Zheng Wanqing felt melancholy in his heart: 'If the first emperor is in the sky, he will not know how to feel when he looks at the situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty'

Yu Wenwen suddenly sneezed, and then looked around for a while to confirm that there was nothing strange, Shu Li stared at himself and returned to normal, his new army set up a hollow phalanx in the shape of a 'convex' character, together with archers, chariots, and long knife teams, all of which were contained in it, and now everyone is watching the battle.

"Commander of the army, is our army going to attack?" The military lord Chen Wudi looked at the situation on his side, and was very excited, seeing that the Anzhou army was about to crush the imperial army, he was enthusiastic, hoping to pursue together.

"Wait for the order of the Chinese army first, you can't move without Zheng Sima's order." Yu Wenwen was in a very good mood, he felt that the big victory was imminent, and there was no need for his new army to rush to grab the head, it was better to be a reserve army honestly.

Although his face was calm, Yu Wenwen was entangled in his heart: "Father, is it really good that you have used up all the fire medicine with this usage?" I can't get any more brimstone! ’

He couldn't care about being distressed at the moment, so he could only comfort everyone: "It's still a precaution, if the southern army comes to counterattack or something, it's not too late for our army to play." ”
