Early in the morning of February 2, 433 of the Great Jin Dynasty, the scouts of the broken army returned to Liu Ji, and outside the camp of the Lu army, the war-free card was hung high.

Liu Ji did not care about the avoidance of the Lu army, Suzhou and Hangzhou have been the land of fish and rice since ancient times, when the Southeast Xiang Army controlled the Suzhou and Hangzhou states, they hoarded a large amount of grain and grass in these two states, and later the Southeast Xiang Army withdrew from Suzhou and Hangzhou, only took away a small part of the grain and grass, and most of the remaining grain and grass, the Southeast Xiang Army did not burn down, and almost all fell into the hands of the broken army.

Therefore, the troops of the Broken Army in Suzhou and Hangzhou did not have to worry about the matter of grain and grass at all, and they were not afraid of continuing to confront the Lu army.

The Southeast Xiang Army not only did not burn grain and grass in Suzhou and Hangzhou, but also did not burn grain and grass when evacuating other states, so that the Lu army also captured a large amount of grain and grass, and the order to prohibit the burning of grain and grass was personally issued by Zhang Mingqi after the Southeast Xiang Army lost the central mountainous defense line of Zhejiang and Fuzhou.

The reason why Zhang Mingqi issued this order was that he already had the intention of surrendering to the Lu State in his heart, and if he burned all the grain and grass stored by the Southeast Xiang Army in various states, the Lu State army would be annoyed and angry and refuse Zhang Mingqi's surrender.

Just when the Lu army on this road in Suzhou hung up the war-free card, the Lu army on the road in Hangzhou advanced to the outside of the county seat of Fuxin County, Chongyi County.

The troops of the Broken Army in Fuxin County included five cavalry brigades and twenty infantry brigades of the Guards Corps, five cavalry brigades and ten infantry brigades of the Native Legion, and 1.4 million troops of the former Southeast Xiang Army.

The Lu army that entered Fuxin County had a total of two main legions and three ordinary legions, and Sun Gu, the commander of the third army of Lu, was appointed by Jiang Ke, the hussar general of Lu, as the temporary commander of the five legions of Lu.

There were about 3 million people gathered on the side of the Broken Army, and in addition to the 1.8 million regular troops on the side of the Lu Army, there were also about 1 million strong men who were responsible for escorting grain and grass.

On the morning of 2 February, the Broken Captives Army and the Lu State Army set up a position on the plain south of the county seat of Fuxin County, and at this time, the Lu State Army on the Hangzhou Road had not yet received a battle report from the Lu State Army on the other road in Xinquan County, Dongzhu County, Suzhou.

Sun Gu, the commander of the Third Army of the Lu State, looked at the Broken Army in the distance, and couldn't help but say to Zhou Yan, the commander of the Eleventh Army of the Lu State beside him: "I have long wanted to compete with the Broken Army, and today I finally have this opportunity!" ”

The Eleventh Army of the Lu State has now been expanded into the main army, but because of the lack of war horses in the Lu State, the six guards of the Eleventh Army are all infantry, and there is no formed cavalry unit for the time being.

Zhou Yan smiled slightly and said: "Before coming, the marshal told me that I must watch you, and don't let you participate in the battle in front of the two armies." ”

Sun Gu, the commander of the Third Legion, is also a very famous fierce general in the Lu army, and Qin Junmao, the commander of the Fourth Legion, is almost between Wuyi.

After Sun Gu took the horse lance on the victory hook in his hand, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said to Sun Gu: "It seems that today I don't have the opportunity to have a good battle with the fierce generals of the Broken Army in front of the two armies. ”

As soon as Sun Gu's words fell, a general of the Lu State said loudly: "General, my subordinates are willing to get a good start for our army!" ”

Sun Gu turned his head and looked, it was Huang Li, a guerrilla general under his command, Sun Gu knew Huang Li's martial arts very well, although he had not yet stepped into the realm of peerless generals, but he was only one step away, among the many generals of the Third Legion, Huang Li's martial arts could definitely rank in the top five.

So Sun Gu nodded and said: "Huang Li, the first formation will be handed over to you, don't lose the face of our Third Legion!" ”

"Don't worry, general, your subordinates won't disgrace you!"

Huang Li immediately urged the horse to come to the front of the two armies, "Lu State guerrilla general Huang Li is here!" Jin Guo Xiaoer, hurry up and send someone to death! ”

In front of the Broken Army, Bai Qi asked the generals of the Broken Army around him in a deep voice, "Which general is willing to take the lead?" ”

At this time, Li Cunxiao preemptively said: "General Bai, it's better to let Cunxiao take the lead!" ”

Bai Qi saw that Li Cunxiao took the initiative to ask for battle, and immediately nodded in agreement: "General Li, then I will trouble you." ”

Li Cunxiao urged the horse to come to the front of the two armies, and said coldly to Huang Li: "I am the army of the Broken Army, Li Cunxiao is also!" When you get to the Yellow Springs Road, don't forget who killed you! ”

The corners of Huang Li's mouth twitched slightly, "Jin Guo Xiao'er, you are not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue, today I, Huang Li, want to see what skills you have, you dare to be so rampant!" ”

Huang Li then rode his horse and swung his knife and rushed towards Li Cunxiao, but Li Cunxiao only used one move to stab Huang Li off the horse, and after Huang Li fell to the ground, he struggled slightly, and there was no sound again.

Sun Gu saw that Huang Li was killed by Li Cunxiao's move, and his face was shocked, even if it was Sun Gu himself, it was impossible to defeat Huang Li with one move, let alone kill him with one move.

At this time, Zhou Yan, the commander of the Eleventh Legion, frowned and said, "Is Huang Li a little underestimated?" Otherwise, with Huang Li's skills, even if we are the first fierce general of the Lu country, Galle, don't think of killing him with one move. ”

Sun Gu immediately turned his head and said to another general of the Third Army under his command: "Lian Gao, you will go up and break this fierce general of the army for a while, you must be careful!" ”

Lian Gao is a famous fierce general of the Third Legion, and his strength has reached the realm of peerless fierce generals.

After Lian Gao urged the horse to come to the front of the two armies, he only reported his name and fought with Li Cunxiao, but the two had just fought for five rounds, and Lian Gao was also stabbed to death by Li Cunxiao.

Sun Gu saw that Lian Gao was also killed by Li Cunxiao, and immediately wanted to go out in person, but was stopped by Zhou Yan, and then Zhou Yan sent a member of the Eleventh Army under his command to fight fiercely, but he still did not go through five rounds under Li Cunxiao's hands, and died under Li Cunxiao's golden lance.

Next, the Lu army sent two fierce generals one after another, but unfortunately no one could hold on to the sixth round in front of Li Cunxiao.

Li Cunxiao beheaded five fierce generals of the Lu State in a row, which greatly boosted the morale of the Broken Army, and the cheers resounded in the sky, but the morale of the Lu Army fell to the freezing point.

Sun Gu saw that Li Cunxiao had beheaded his five fierce generals, and he couldn't hold back any longer, and said categorically to Zhou Yan beside him: "It seems that only I will personally go up to meet this fierce general of the Broken Army for a while, and everyone else should not be the opponent of this fierce general of the Broken Army!" ”

Zhou Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "General Sun, it's better to send a large army to attack directly!" The fierce general named Li Cunxiao of the Broken Army is too powerful, I am worried about ......"

Sun Gu knew what Zhou Yan meant, because he was afraid that he was not the opponent of the fierce general of the Broken Army, originally Sun Gu was very confident in his martial arts, but none of the five powerful generals of the Lu State could go through five rounds under Li Cunxiao's hands, which made Sun Gu muttered a little in his heart.

Sun Gu pondered for a moment and said, "I really don't have the certainty of victory, but if I don't fight at this time, there will be no morale on our side." ”

Zhou Yan sighed and said, "If General Sun is also defeated, the morale of our five legions will be even lowered. ”

Sun Gu nodded slowly, "Then send an infantry guard first to attack the Broken Army!" The number of cavalry in our hands should be inferior to the broken army, and whether we can win this battle depends on the performance of our Lu infantry! ”

Of the five legions of the Lu State gathered here in Fuxin County, only the Third Legion has two cavalry guards, a total of 150,000 cavalry, and the remaining four legions are almost all infantry, and the Broken Army, not counting the hundreds of thousands of cavalry of the original Southeast Wing Army, only the five cavalry brigades of the Guards Corps and the five cavalry brigades of the local legion have 400,000 cavalry.

Zhou Yan immediately said: "General Sun, rest assured, our Lu State infantry is not a lie, let my 11th Army send an infantry guard first to compete with the Broken Army!" ”

Li Cunxiao saw that the Lu army no longer sent people to fight with him, and with a contemptuous look at the corners of his mouth, he turned his horse back to the front of the broken army.

Bai Qi said with a smile: "General Li is mighty, even after beheading the five generals of the Lu State, the frightened Lu people dare not send generals to the front of the two armies anymore!" ”

Zhang Fei next to him shouted loudly: "Brother Li, next time you eat meat, you will also leave a little soup for the other brothers!" You slaughtered all the fierce generals sent by the Lu State by yourself, and so many of our brothers didn't get anything! ”

Before breaking the army formation, there were as many as ten generals with peerless military general strength, in addition to Bai Qi and Li Cunxiao, there were also Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Cheng Yanjin, Yingbu, Long Ji, Shi Wansui, Lu Junyi, Wang Yansheng Eight people, in addition, Liu Ji also sent Bai Qi 20 puppet bodyguards with peerless military strength and 40 puppet bodyguards with top military general strength.

Li Cunxiao didn't care about Zhang Fei's words, "Hehe, next time I will definitely leave a mouthful of soup for Brother Zhang Fei to drink." ”

At this time, Lu Su opened his mouth and said to Bai Qi: "General Bai, it seems that the people of Lu are ready to send infantry to fight next, the infantry of Lu is known as the best in the world, we had better test the reality of the infantry of Lu first." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded and said: "Only by knowing oneself and knowing oneself can one not be defeated in a hundred battles, we should indeed see if the infantry of the Lu State is really as strong as the legend says!" ”

The top Wenchen who was sent to Bai Qi's side, in addition to Lu Su and the eldest grandson Wuji, also included Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong, and Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong were in the county seat of Fuxin County at this time.

Bai Qi nodded and said, "Then let a cavalry brigade of the Guards Regiment try the reality of the Lu State infantry!" ”

Soon, the Lu army sent an infantry formation composed of about 75,000 Lu infantry, while the Broken Army sent more than 40,000 cavalry from a cavalry brigade of the Guards Regiment to attack this infantry formation of the Lu State.

However, not long after the cavalry of the Guards Army launched an attack, Bai Qi ordered the cavalry brigade of the Guards Regiment to retreat to the main position of the Broken Army, and in just such a short time, the cavalry brigade of the Guards Army lost more than 2,000 people, and the loss of war horses exceeded 4,000.

Bai Qi said in a deep voice: "The infantry battle array of the Lu State is equipped with a large number of strong crossbows, and the five cavalry brigades of the Guards Legion and the five cavalry brigades of the Native Legion are not wearing iron armor on their horses. ”

"General Bai, let me Lao Zhang take two infantry brigades up! We must defeat this infantry formation sent by the Lu State! Zhang Fei said loudly to Bai Qi.

Bai Qi pondered for a moment and then nodded and said: "General Zhang Fei, then you will lead the two infantry brigades of the Guards Regiment to meet this infantry formation of the Lu people for a while, and you must fight steadily!" ”

Zhang Fei shouted excitedly: "General Bai, just take a look!" ”

Zhang Fei immediately led the two infantry brigades of the Guards Legion to line up the unique infantry battle formation of the Broken Army, and launched a fierce battle with an infantry guard of the Lu Army.

The two infantry brigades of the Broken Army and an infantry guard of the Lu army fought on a par with each other, and then the commanders of both sides continued to send their troops to join the battle, and by noon on February 2, most of the infantry units on both sides were engaged in fierce fighting, and even the 800,000 strong men who were responsible for escorting grain and grass were sent up on the side of the Lu army.

After all, the Lu army had some weakness in terms of strength, and the combat effectiveness of the infantry of the Broken Army was not worse than that of the Lu infantry, and by the afternoon of 2 February, in this battle of millions of people, the Broken Army had already occupied a clear advantage.

However, it is not so easy for the Broken Army to completely defeat the five legions of the Lu State and the hundreds of thousands of Zhuangding, the two sides have been fighting for so long, and the losses of the Lu Army and the Zhuangding are about less than 400,000, and the losses are less than one-seventh, which is far from the point of collapse.

In the main formation of the Lu army, Zhou Yan, the commander of the Eleventh Legion, said to Sun Gu, the commander of the Third Legion, with a sad face: "There are only two cavalry guards, one infantry guard and 200,000 strong men left on our side who have not entered the battle, and there are at least 500,000 cavalry and 200,000 infantry on the side of the Broken Army, and they have not joined the battlefield, but on the scene, our Great Lu Country has fallen into a disadvantage, what should we do next?" ”

Sun Gu, the commander of the Third Legion, sighed and said: "No wonder the Broken Army can crisscross the Western Regions and the grasslands, the combat effectiveness of the Broken Army is indeed strong enough, since we can't win today, let's collect the troops!" We have to report the situation here to the marshal and His Majesty, if we want to defeat the broken army on the opposite side, we need the Marshal and His Majesty to send us more legions! ”
