Chapter 610: The Great War (7)

On June 18, the Tang army camped. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The sky has just brightened, and the soldiers of the Tang Army are each holding a pottery bowl in the camp to line up to receive breakfast, today's breakfast is a bowl of porridge, some pickles, a few slices of big fat and two big meat buns, this configuration of breakfast is already very rich.

Many people are reluctant to carry the pottery bowl to march, because this thing is a bit bulky, each soldier wears heavy armor and carries weapons bows and arrows has a large load, and then with this kind of porcelain pottery bowl, it will only increase the weight more, but before finding other tableware that can be replaced, the soldiers can only reluctantly use the pottery bowl, after all, this thing is strong, not easy to break, and the exquisite porcelain bowl is easy to break, but the generals are reluctant to give the soldiers to eat with exquisite porcelain bowls.

Waiting for the person in front of him to finish receiving the food and walking away, Chen Ergou took the pottery bowl and handed it over, and the man scooped a big spoonful of thick gruel in his pottery bowl with a spoon, scooped some pickles, and even five slices of big fat meat, and handed him two big meat buns, which were much bigger than usual.

Looking at these breakfasts, Chen Ergou didn't feel very down-to-earth in his heart, he was always frightened, he found his own group of people and sat down, someone saw that Chen Ergou was in a bad mood, and laughed: "Chen Ergou, look at how you don't look right, did you masturbate too much last night?" ”

The soldiers of the accomplice suddenly burst into laughter, and when they saw that someone was making fun of Chen Ergou, several people immediately made fun of Chen Ergou, and Chen Ergou also laughed: "Laugh, you can laugh, laugh more while you can laugh now, there will be no chance later, you can't laugh if you want to!" ”

When everyone saw that he said this, his expression was not as usual, and they pondered carefully, the taste of this was not right! Someone immediately asked, "Ergou, what do you mean by this?" ”

Chen Ergou raised the pottery bowl in his hand and said, "Don't you think this breakfast is much richer than usual?" The buns in the past were not so big, these big pieces of fat, have you eaten them before? ”

Everyone looked down at the breakfast in the bowl, and someone shouted, "What does this mean?" The guys gave us a good meal, what's the matter? ”

Chen Ergou snorted coldly: "The guys don't have the orders of the officials, can they add food to us?" These things don't cost money, huh? Can an official have such a good heart? ”

Someone finally reacted, "Ergou, are you saying that you are only afraid of a big war today?" It's not surprising, isn't there a big war these days? ”

Chen Ergou said: "I'm afraid this time it's the final battle, if we win, naturally there's nothing to say, if we lose, I'm afraid it's the last meal for many people!" ”

Everyone was silent when they heard Chen Ergou's words, and after a long while, someone said: "Whatever, how can there be immortals in war, thousands of people don't die these days, I heard that there are two or three thousand people on the left and right wings every day these days." It's useless for us to think about it here, it's better to eat and drink enough to have the strength to fight with the big food, even if you die, you can be a full ghost! ”

The others looked at each other, and soon someone chimed in: "Yes, even if you die, you have to be a full ghost!" Eat, eat hard, and fight the big cannibal when you're done! ”

At this time, sighing, greedy for life and fear of death is no longer useful, some veterans who have fought many battles are experienced, they know that the more afraid of death on the battlefield, the faster they will die, and if they want to live, they can only be more ruthless and fierce than others!

Sure enough, as Chen Ergou expected, not long after breakfast, a military order came from the Chinese army's big tent, and all units of the army gathered with weapons, bows and arrows to stand by, and the soldiers each received a pot of arrows and then carried weapons to find the location of their own team to gather, and the military leaders began to count the number of people.

It didn't take long for the generals and lieutenants to come and order the soldiers to check the armor, weapons, bows and arrows, and then a general stepped forward and said a lot of encouraging words, which meant nothing more than that the soldiers should not be greedy for life and fear death after they went into battle, but obey the military orders and move forward bravely.

Immediately afterwards, the Chinese army ordered the troops who received the order to open the barracks and advance in the direction of the Great Food Army, while only a small number of men and horses were left in the barracks to guard the large camp and the wounded soldiers.

After the Chinese army was dispatched here, the soldiers of the large battalions on the left and right flanks also dispatched at the same time, lining up in a neat military formation and slowly advancing in the direction where the Dashi military camp was located.

At this time, the Great Food Army was not idle, they got up very early, they got up before dawn, finished the morning prayer before the sun rose, and then had breakfast, and after breakfast, they began to assemble under the orders of the generals, a large-scale assembly, which made everyone understand that the scale of today's battle is only afraid that it is larger than the previous days, and it is likely to be the final decisive battle.

When the Tang army arrived in the middle of the camp of the two armies, the Great Food Army also happened to arrive, and the two sides stopped about a mile away and began to reorganize their respective ranks, count the equipment, and the generals boosted morale and explained matters in front of their respective teams.

After the two armies, each has its own military band, the Tang army is a group of soldiers carrying a long brass horn that is bent and dragged on the ground, the thick horn of the copper trumpet faces the direction of the military formation, and the soldiers puff up their cheeks together, this special sound is extremely desolate and vast, but it makes people's blood boil and the fighting spirit is strong; At the rear of the army formation of the Great Food Army, there is also a row of soldiers, each holding a horn and playing it in his mouth, although the sound is different from the long copper horn of the Tang Army, but the sound it makes is also the same.

The officers and men of the two armies were bathed in these two voices, brewing their fighting spirit and boosting their morale. Gao Xianzhi stood on the high platform of the rear army and squinted at the military formation of the Great Food Army in front of him, all of them were cavalry troops, and they were all light cavalry, and there were thousands of camel soldiers among these light cavalry.

The sun had completely risen, and Gao Xianzhi raised his right hand and waved forward: "The cavalry on both wings, the Mo Dao team at the front of the Chinese army attack!" Infantry bows and crossbows readyβ€”"

The military order was quickly issued, and the commanders of the cavalry on the left and right wings, Li Fei Yuanli and Duan Xiushi, immediately raised their weapons and shouted forward: "Raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while, the time has come to serve the country, and all the soldiers will be killed with me-"

"Kill-" The cavalry of the Tang Army slaughtered from both wings, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves directly drowned out the sound of military music, but at this time, the huge war drums began to resound throughout the battlefield, and the drums fell on the hearts of all the soldiers like a heavy hammer, making their blood gush and their muscles violent.

"Killβ€”" The soldiers of the Tang army kept yelling and rode their horses to keep up with their comrades in front, and they had to try to be as consistent as possible with their comrades in the same row.

He Lou Yurun, the commander of the Mo Dao team of the Chinese army, held the long Ming Huang Mo Dao and shouted at the neatly lined up Mo Dao army formation behind him: "Mo Dao Army, I am invincible, advance-"

There was a deafening voice behind him: "Roar-roar-roar-"

"Boom-boom-boom-" The soldiers of the Mo Dao team slowly advanced forward with neat steps. Mo knife was made in the Tang Gaozong period was used in the army, but the real large-scale use was in the Xuanzong Kaiyuan period, Zhao Ziliang when he was the governor of the Broken Leaf Governor's Mansion to improve the Mo knife combat method that was not very mature at that time, and let Li Siye, who had some experience and research on Mo knife warfare, be the commander of the Mo Dao Army, and later Zhao Ziliang left Anxi and recommended Li Siye to Fumeng Lingcha, who admired Li Siye very much, appointed him as a general, and was specifically responsible for the Modao team of the Anxi Army, The Modao army led by He Lou Yurun was formed by Li Siye, and its combat effectiveness was very extraordinary, and it was almost a god blocking and killing a god and a Buddha blocking and killing a Buddha on the battlefield.

The big food army also began to meet the charge, the left, the center and the right cavalry launched an attack on the front line together, the momentum was not weaker than the Tang army, the Tang army was on the platform, most of the big men of the Anxi military and political two terms were here, the civil officials were excited, this kind of battle scene of more than 100,000 people was never seen in their lives, maybe this will be the only time in their lives, there are civil officials who are making a poem on the spot, and winning the applause of other officials.

At this time, a Tang army detective came to Pegasus, stopped at the side of the handsome platform, clenched his fists and raised his head to report: "Report - General Qiyu, the barbarian army on the right wing of our army has defeated the servant army on the left wing of the Great Food Army with an absolute superiority of troops, and the Great Food Servant Army is vulnerable and scattered and fled, at this time our army has already entered the camp of the opponent's left flank!" ”

The officials and generals on the platform were overjoyed when they heard this, and they all said to Gao Xianzhi: "The right wing has made a good start, it seems that there is no suspense in this battle!" ”

Gao Xianzhi was not so happy, he knew that it was too early to say that there was no suspense at this time, the final victory or defeat of this battle did not depend on how the two wings flanked felt, no matter how well the two flanks fought, the situation was still unclear before the Chinese army did not distinguish the winner or loser, but it was not without benefit that the two flanks fought well, at least there was no threat to the right flank of the Tang army, and if necessary, troops could also be drawn from the right flank to join the battle in the middle.

Gao Xianzhi didn't make a sound, he put his hand on the pergola and looked at the middle of the Great Food Army's formation, after the cavalry in front of the Great Food Army rushed over, the situation in the middle could be seen clearly, and he saw that there was a bright cavalry in the middle of the Great Food Army, and people and war horses seemed to be wrapped in iron armor.

Is this a heavy armor iron horse? Gao Xianzhi felt a little bad in his heart when he saw the heavy armored iron cavalry of about 3,000 horses, he didn't know if the Modao team could withstand the charge of the 3,000 heavy armored iron horses, but for the sake of insurance, he still decided to draw troops from both wings, after all, the main force of the Chinese army was still weaker than the main force of the Great Food Army.

"The order, since the right flank has attacked the enemy's left flank camp, I ordered Zhao Hu to send 10,000 Hu cavalry to reinforce it, and when the reinforcements come, there is no need to pause, and directly attack the left flank of the enemy's main force from the right flank!"

"Obey!"

After Gao Xianzhi gave the order, he asked Liang Zai, the deputy envoy of Jiedu: "Hasn't there been any news from the left wing?" ”

Liang Zai shook his head and said, "Not yet!" ”

At this time, the two armies finally collided together, and the contact parts of the cavalry on both sides fell one after another, and the cavalry behind the two sides still rushed forward and rushed towards each other.

The front of the Chinese army of the Great Food Army finally collided with the Mo Dao team of the Tang Army, only to see pieces of knife light flashing, the front cavalry of the Great Food Army fell one after another, and the soldiers of the Mo Dao team stepped on the corpse of the enemy all over their bodies and slowly advanced without stopping, but the Mo Dao team still had some casualties, and the soldiers behind immediately filled the gap in front and continued to move forward.
