Chapter 105: The Battle of Xushan (Ask for Subscription)
The sound of horses' hooves, the wheels are rolling, the knives and guns are like forests, the flags are like clouds, more than 80,000 people and horses, driving the dust in the sky, covering the sky and the sun, rolling in the direction of Xiuzhou, one of the big flags embroidered with the word "Song" is particularly dazzling.
The soldiers were very fast, and the Song army, which had just recovered the entire territory of Suzhou, just rested for a while, and then under the leadership of Tong Guan, they went to Xiuzhou non-stop.
Tong Guan's personal guard Shengjie army was in the center, the famous western army was divided into two roads, each on the left and right, each on two wings, and the army of 80,000 well-armored soldiers could not see the edge at a glance, only heard the footsteps like thunder.
Zhao Hao, Wang Weizhong and Wang Wenqing rode behind Tong Guan as usual, followed by Wu Song and Zhao Ling.
Zhao Hao and Wang Wenqing talked and laughed all the way, and from time to time they talked to Tong Guan in front of them, but Wang Weizhong, who had always been hostile to Zhao Hao, looked lonely and had no interest in being hostile to Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao naturally knew the reason why Wang Weizhong was depressed, since Tong Guan was no longer a real eunuch, he sang songs every night and was merry, and the top girls in Suzhou City took turns to run to Xuan Shuai's accommodation with veils, and they had already quit the bad habit of being a good man. Mo said that he was intimate with Wang Weizhong, but he felt a little disgusted at a glance at Wang Weizhong, just thinking about letting this guy get away after this battle, and never seeing him.
A scout Pegasus came running.
"Report~ Thirty miles ahead, the traitor Fang La gathered an army of 250,000 and lined up, wanting to fight to the death with our army!"
"What?" Tong Guan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "The thief army actually abandoned the city, God really helped me!" Keep moving! ”
Tong Guan, who is back to being a real man, is the spring breeze with pride, light horseshoe, and high spirits, where to put the rebels in his eyes?
Today's Tong Guan, the first in the sky, he is the fourth...... There is only one Zhao Hao and Zhao Ji in the middle, and the full confidence is almost bursting.
**************
The Song army's two armies pushed sideways all the way, and Fang La was unwilling to sit still.
After Zhao Hao crossed and changed the trajectory, the rebels of Fang La successfully occupied Xiuzhou, seeing that Tong Guan's left army broke through Suzhou, pushed all the way, and rushed straight to Xiuzhou, Fang La did not want to sit still, gathered the rebels in Hangzhou, Huzhou, and Xiuzhou, and prepared to fight to the death with Tong Guan.
North of Xiuzhou City, under Xu Mountain.
Countless birds flew up in horror among the trees on the slope, screaming chaotically and swept towards the rising red sun in the distance.
The fierce mountain wind swept like a blade towards the black pressure of the rebel soldiers under the hillside.
The 300,000 rebels stood in formation, stretching for more than ten miles, and the breathtaking military might made the arrogant wind have to calm down, and stopped abruptly in front of the huge military formation, and could only hold their breath and caress the battle flags.
Pieces of battle flags, under the blowing of the river wind, rolled like rolling waves, one of the red flags is particularly eye-catching, embroidered with the word "square" of Douda.
Under the banner, Fang Laduan sat on top of the Luan driver, his eyes were blazing, not angry and self-assured, staring at the north direction, beside him stood the strategist General Lu, the military advisor Wang Gong Lao Buddha, and behind him stood the eldest prince Fang Shu, leading the tiger army to guard.
With him as the center, the 250,000 troops lined up, Fang Qifo, Huo Chengfu, Chen Hoop, Qiu Daoren, Yu Daoan, and Lu Xing'er...... A total of more than 20 generals, each leading an army, stood solemnly.
A scout galloped over, passed through the sentry guards, went straight to Fang Laluan's car, turned over and fell, and said urgently: "Qi Shenggong, the Song army of 80,000 has traveled ten miles away, and is looking forward to our army to kill." ”
Fang La's thick eyebrows froze, the long sword in his hand was raised, and he shouted: "The whole army listens to the order and prepares to fight!" ”
I saw the letter flag being displayed, with the handsome flag as the center, and passed it on layer by layer.
……
At the foot of Xu Mountain, the two armies stood in formation, ready to fight to the death.
In front of the Song army, Tong Guan dispatched an army of 80,000 troops, lined up, covering the entire field, and there were crowds of people everywhere, and the western army with a big shield on both wings stood in front with a big shield, and held the position with a strong bow and a hard crossbow, and in the middle was solemnly lined up with a well-armored Shengjie army and three thousand white cavalry.
More than a mile away from the army, the rebels were also black and oppressive like dark clouds, obscuring the sight of the Song army, and only the swords and halberds like a forest and the banners like clouds could be seen.
The two armies, with a total of 330,000 troops, seemed to fill the entire heaven and earth, except for the buffer zone in the middle of more than a mile exposed loess and green grass, except for the gray patch between the heaven and the earth, no other colors could be seen.
Knock knock~
The sound of drums on the opposite side sounded, and the sound was agitated, and then countless swords and guns were raised, forming a forest in the air, and the shouts of countless rebel soldiers roared like a mountain and a sea.
This is not the drums of an offensive, but a demonstration before the start of the battle, in an attempt to create a powerful momentum to boost one's own morale and suppress the morale of the other side.
In particular, the rebels were almost four times the number of the Song army, and they had an absolute advantage in numbers, and their momentum was naturally much greater.
It's just a pity that the Song army standing opposite them has fought with the Tangut people in the northwest for many years, and a few months ago it even made the Tangut people surrender and sue for peace, plus they have not tasted defeat since the counterinsurgency, where will they put the noisy momentum of the rebels in their eyes, everyone looks calm, looking closely at the direction of the Chinese army's banner, just waiting for the banner to move, and they will rush out.
Three-way drums, only to see the opposite side densely packed like the spirit of the banner of the embroidered flag, the door flag is wide open, Fang La's Luan drove out slowly, under the embrace of a cadre of generals and elite soldiers, galloped out of the array more than 100 steps before the horse stands, behind the tiger Ben guards the elite soldiers, all of them are tigers and bears, the gods are majestic, each holds weapons, the front and rear arch guards, there are more embroidered flags and knots, very strict.
Immediately afterwards, Fang Shu rode out, pointed the whip directly at the Song army, and shouted: "Bah~ Wuna Song Army, the Holy Prince's Heavenly Army is here, and if you don't surrender quickly, if you are half a minute late, you will be killed!" ”
Fang Shu is worthy of being the general of the armed forces of 82, and the voice is like thunder on the ground, even Zhao Hao, who is in the middle army, can hear it clearly.
There was a sudden deathly silence among the Song army, and the little noise that had been there disappeared as well.
Fang Shuleng paused for a moment, then his spirits were greatly lifted, and he continued to shout loudly: "Fight and not fight, surrender and not surrender, but why?" ”
Wow~
Just when Zhao Haozheng felt that Fang Shu's lines were so familiar, Song Jun suddenly burst into laughter, and the laughter rolled like a huge wave, instantly suppressing Fang Shu's roar.
Even Wang Weizhong, who looked extremely depressed, couldn't help laughing: "Is this guy from singing?" ”
Fang Shu on the other side realized that the opponent was not shocked by his thunderous roar at all, but just regarded him as a clown, and couldn't help but be ashamed and angry, and extremely embarrassed.
At this moment, among the rebels, another man rode out and went straight to the front of the battle.
I saw that the man was riding a black cloud horse, holding a steel spear more than a foot long, the spear pointed directly at the Song army, and shouted: "The Song army is as strong as a cloud, but someone dares to go out and fight to the death with a certain one!" ”
The person who came was the first general under Fang La, Fang Qifo with 97 forces!
Zhao Hao's heart tightened, is it still popular to fight these years? If it is a fighting general, maybe Han Shizhong can barely fight, this guy has just been promoted to the battalion commander, even if he goes out to greet him, his identity will not be too embarrassing, and he will not go out as a horse archer like Guan Erye.
It's just that more than 300,000 troops are standing in formation, just watching the two generals fighting back and forth in front of the formation, will it be too boring?
This time, Tong Guan in front of him was also impatient, and scolded: "Straight mothers and thieves, these mud-legged traitors, are they all from singing big dramas, they are so long-winded, ready to fight!" ”
Zhao Hao finally understood that he was thinking too much, where is there a fighting general in these years?
Before the Tang Dynasty, there may be examples of two armies fighting generals, especially when the Northern and Southern Dynasties were the most prevalent, and since the Tang Dynasty, there are many examples of single cavalry charging into battle, and the two generals meeting and fighting in the chaotic army, but the real two armies lined up to fight the generals, it is almost a joke, and there is no case of regular large-scale battles.
It turned out that the Fang Qi Buddha, who had a force of 97, was also unreliable......
Fang La, Fang Qifo and others, originally came from a reckless background, and a series of actions of the uprising were all based on the experience gained from listening to books and watching plays, and they were based on the gourd painting, and naturally many words and deeds had a strong sense of drama, which was like child's play in front of Song Jun's eyes.
Swish!
Tong Guan pulled out the sword at his waist, and the blade of the sword stabbed into the sky, and the blood of countless Song army soldiers was ignited in an instant.
This fight is still very wise and powerful......
Tong Guan waved his long sword and roared angrily: "Blow the trumpet, the whole army assault, and level the enemy camp!" ”
Woo woo woo~
Countless horns sounded, like the roar of the sea, sweeping dozens of miles of fields in front of Xu Mountain, and the entire heaven and earth were filled with passionate and generous horn sounds, collapsing the sky.
The next moment, the sound of the mountain crashing and the sound of killing drowned out the continuous sound of horns, and the three-way Song army poured out like the Yellow River bursting its banks, and the waves formed by wave after wave of firelight rolled towards the rebels, making a rumbling sound.
In the rebel camp, Fang La also urgently ordered the banner to be waved and ordered the three armies to kill together.
The 330,000 armies of both sides rolled in and stirred together like stormy waves.
250,000 against 80,000, even if the Song army is well-equipped and has more than 3,000 invincible Baiqi cavalry in the field, it is difficult to say whether it will win or lose, the most important thing is the arrangement of the troops, morale, command and other factors.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
Hundreds of thousands of troops roared in unison, surging towards each other like huge waves, and Xu Shan had previously launched the largest field battle in the south of the Yangtze River during the Northern Song Dynasty.
