"I don't know if this general has ever told others about Shangcai City being surrounded by Nanyang Red Turban thieves?" After Lu Liu walked into the big tent again, Feng Zhang looked at Lu Liu but couldn't help asking. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Lu Liu heard Feng Zhang's words, after glancing at Feng Zhang, he replied concisely: "No! ”

"Good!" Hearing Lu Liu's words, Feng Zhang couldn't help but praise with a smile on his face. And after praising such a sentence, he saw Feng Zhang smile and then said to Ye Xian: "My lord, since the news has not been spread, then this matter is easy to handle." ”

"Although it is difficult for our army to evacuate now, our army still has the upper hand at this time only in terms of the Ruyang red turban thief. And this means that now our army can completely transfer 20,000 soldiers and horses to the north to fight back against thieves. And as long as these 20,000 soldiers and horses can defeat the Nanyang Red Turban Thieves within three days, and reopen the grain route of our army. Then this battle, our army will be able to fight a battle. ”

"Then what if our army can't defeat the more than 10,000 Nanyang red turban thieves within three days?" Hearing Feng Zhang's words, Ye Xian was not as optimistic as usual, but asked Feng Zhang like this.

And Feng Zhang, when he heard Ye Xian's question, after frowning slightly, he did not directly answer Ye Xian's question, but persuaded Ye Xian with comfort: "My lord, our army sent 20,000 elite soldiers, plus those soldiers and young men stationed in Shangcai City, the strength is already close to 30,000, and we can win three battles and one battle." ”

"So, what if you lose? If our army fails to defeat the Nanyang Red Turban Thief within three days, won't we be in danger of being wiped out? However, the more Feng Zhang's persuasion was like this, the more difficult it became to make a decision at first. After all, he was just a gentleman who relied on the power of the family in his bones. In the court, with the protection of his brother, even if he does something wrong, he doesn't have to worry about it. But now, the rebellious Red Turbans will not give any face.

At this time, if he also made a mistake in his decision, then his end would be defeat or even death. In this case, how can it be possible to make a decision when a gentleman is also the first in his bones.

So after such a rhetorical question, Feng Zhang, who asked was speechless, couldn't help but shake his head at Feng Zhang and said: "It's really difficult for me to make a decision on this matter, so let's wait until tomorrow and discuss it with the generals and officials, and then make a decision!" ”

And hearing Ye Xian's indecisive words, Feng Zhang couldn't help but look at Ye Xian's face, and said to Ye Xian in a serious tone: "My lord, it's already time to burn your eyebrows at this time. At such a critical moment, where is there any time to discuss and decide. When the interruption continues, it will be chaotic, my lord! ”

"But what you said is too risky, so it's better to wait until tomorrow to discuss and come up with a perfect plan to put it away."

"Ah, sir. On the battlefield, when the two armies face each other, where will there be any foolproof strategy. It's really unwise for an adult to be like this! ”

"Enough, you don't need to say anything, I am the commander of the army, and I will stop the war in this army, so you better go down and rest." After saying this, Ye Xian, who was angry because of Feng Zhang's persuasion, couldn't help but throw his sleeves and leave, leaving Feng Zhang alone.

And Feng Zhang looked at the back of him leaving, but he couldn't help beating his chest like hatred.

And the flowers bloom in two, one on each branch. It is said that when it was difficult to make a decision first, in Ruyang Fucheng, in Liu Futong's Chinese army tent, Liu Futong also met the person sent by Zhang Shihua to inform him of the news.

……

"Hahahaha, God help me, God help me, Bochang He actually broke the grain channel of the dog thief at this time, I will win this battle." After knowing that Zhang Shihua sent troops from Nanyang and surrounded Shangcai City, Liu Futong, who had always frowned and had a bitter face because the war was not going well, couldn't help but smile so cheerfully.

And after he Liu Futong laughed, he naturally patted his chest and assured the scout who came to report the news: "You go back and tell your general that I, Liu Futong, will definitely do my best to drag down Yexian's army, and I will definitely not give Yexian's army a chance to return north." ”

"And after the victory in this battle, I will definitely reward your general." Speaking of this, Liu Futong couldn't help but laugh again.

And the scout Jiang Da, who was kneeling on the ground, after hearing Liu Futong's words, although he said that he was a little disdainful of Liu Futong's last sentence in his heart, he still sang a fat promise with a respectful face, and slowly withdrew from Liu Futong's big tent.

Therefore, for a while, only Liu Futong's cheerful laughter remained in Liu Futong's big tent.

……

Early the next morning, that is, on the 20th day of December in the winter of the 11th year of Zhizheng, Liu Futong, who had been cowering in the camp for several days, finally gave up the combat plan of replacing the attack with defense, and ordered Luo Wensu, the general under his command, to lead an army of more than 20,000 troops in the early morning to challenge the officers and soldiers stationed not far away.

However, what makes people feel extremely strange is that the officers and soldiers who were arrogant in the past have this time hung up their exempt cards in an extremely strange way.

"The Tartar dog also ...... first Dare to fight...... "In the big tent of the Chinese army, such a scolding and shouting voice, although it sounded a little vague, it still reached the ears of the generals in the tent one after another.

However, when they heard such shouting and scolding, all the generals in the tent, including Ye Xian, all looked worried, but there was no anger in being insulted.

"Generals, you have also seen it, it seems that the red turban thief does not want to teach us to withdraw our troops smoothly this time. However, I don't know what the generals can do now, so that our army can get out of this predicament. ”

"My lord, it seems that we only have two ways to go." Hearing this question, a Wanhu official under Yexian's command, and a Mongolian general who was also the most warlike under Yexian's account, Wu Enqi, couldn't help but say so.

"Oh, I want to hear about it." Hearing Wu Enqi's words, he couldn't help but say to Wu Enqi like this.

"My lord, this first way is to defeat the red turban bandits in Ruyang Mansion City in one fell swoop in five days. After all, Ruyang Mansion City is the main battlefield, as long as we can capture Ruyang Mansion City, the siege of Shangcai can naturally be solved without a fight. ”

"And what's the second way?" Hearing Wu Enqi's words, he couldn't help but ask with a displeased look on his face. "Nonsense, fools know that as long as they can take down Ruyang Mansion City, they can solve everything, but how can Ruyang Mansion City be so easy to fight!"

"A Shangcai city with no more than 10,000 soldiers and horses has been fighting for a full month, not to mention Ruyang Mansion City, which has nearly 70,000 soldiers and horses." The people in the tent secretly slandered in their hearts, but they didn't have the slightest idea, but when they heard Wu Enqi say the second way, they couldn't help but listen with bated breath.

As for Wu Enqi himself, although he said something that was almost nonsense just now, the second way he said was exactly the same as what Feng Zhang, the staff member of Yexian said last night.

That is, at this time when his own side still has the upper hand, he immediately dispatched 20,000 elite soldiers to the north. However, the only difference is that Wu Enqi is willing to invite himself to be the leader of the 20,000 soldiers and horses going north, and is willing to make a military order, and he will defeat the Nanyang Red Turban within three days.

And the one who had been sitting high in the main seat heard Wu Enqi say this first, and after glancing at the remaining waste-like generals in the tent, he couldn't help but think of what Feng Zhang said to him last night, and the request for help from Brother Kuanche, the prince and grandson of King Wei.

So after some thought, I finally made up my mind. I saw him gritting his teeth and saying to Wu Enqi: "Wu Enqi, I have granted your request, and today you will take 20,000 elite soldiers to the north." I'm also entrusting you with the lives of all of us here. ”

Speaking of this, Yexian, who had never been in his eyes and was arrogant, couldn't help but get up from his seat and bow to Wu Enqi.

And when Wu Enqi saw this, he naturally couldn't help but bow down to Ye Xian with a resolute face: "Don't worry, my lord, within three days, I will break the Nanyang Red Turban Thief!" ”

After saying this, Wu Enqi also retreated, and at noon, under the cover of their efforts, he led his 20,000 troops to Zhang Shihua, who was dozens of miles away.

……

The next day, on the morning of December 21 in the winter of the eleventh year, Zhang Shihua was in the tent of the Chinese army.

"Report! ~~ General, according to the report of the horse scouting in front, the 20,000 Tartar soldiers in the south have come to a place thirty miles away from our army. A scout covered in dust reported to Zhang Shihua like this.

When Zhang Shihua heard the scout's words, after waving his hand to let the scout retreat, he couldn't help but say to the generals on the left and right: "The speed of the dog Tartar is really fast, wait for my military order to be passed on, and the whole army will immediately prepare for war with food." A big war is coming! ”

"I'll do as I was told!" Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, the generals on the left and right couldn't help but bow down so loudly.

……

More than an hour later, the hour was approaching noon, and Wu Enqi led his 20,000 soldiers to finally arrive five miles away from Zhang Shihua's camp.

The distance of only five miles is equivalent to a good place for the two armies. Therefore, after approaching this distance, Wu Enqi couldn't help but let the army under his command put on a combat posture, and formed a dense battle formation, pressing towards Zhang Shihua's camp little by little.

Yes, Unqi didn't have much time to waste, so he decided to try the methods of this group of Nanyang Red Turban Thieves now to see if they were really as powerful as the rumors. Of course, this is not because of Uenqi's recklessness, but that the longer Uenqi drags on, the stronger the camp built by Zhang Shihua and them will be.

So at this time, taking advantage of the fact that this group of Nanyang Red Turban thieves had just built a circle of trenches and fences, it was the most advantageous time for the attacker.

In the face of Wu Enqi's thunderous means, Zhang Shihua, whose camp had not yet been built, naturally did not choose to stick to the camp, but after seeing Wu Enqi coming, he personally led the 7,000 soldiers under his command to line up with the camp and prepare to fight.

"Soldiers, life or death, fight here. Raw, I should drink with you; When I die, I should also go to the Yellow Spring with you. Therefore, it is only a battle! Under the handsome black flag flying high, Zhang Shihua, who was wearing armor, looked at the soldiers under his command and couldn't help but shout like this.

Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, all the Red Turban soldiers dressed in black clothes and tied with red scarves on their heads couldn't help but raise their troops and shouted: "Kill Tartar!" ~~”

The roar of the 7,000 Red Turban soldiers was like thunder, which made people look sideways. However, seeing the Red Turban Army like this, the officers and soldiers who were pressing like a wave were not afraid to raise their troops and shouted: "Kill the thief!" ~~" is still like thunder.

The shouts and killings of the two armies can still be heard clearly even in Shangcai City, which is ten miles away.

"Boom, boom~~" The footsteps of 20,000 officers and soldiers, when the distance was closer, the red turban sergeant sounded like a muffled thunder.

And more than 20,000 officers and soldiers are even more whining, like waves, and they can't see the edge at a glance.

But even so, these 7,000 red turban soldiers lined up with camps on their backs still did not retreat. Just like the reef by the sea, although there are few soldiers, it gives people a sense of impregnability.

"Bang bang bang" came the sound of a god arm crossbow arrow being wound.

Thousands of armored soldiers also stood in front of the team with swords and shields. Now, everything is in place.

The soldiers on both sides were getting closer and closer, and the oppressive atmosphere also made everyone on the battlefield feel breathless, but this atmosphere did not last long, because just about two quarters of an hour later, more than 20,000 officers and soldiers finally killed less than a mile away from the Red Turban Army.

One mile, the distance is only 500 meters, and so far apart, both sides can clearly see the enemy's banner.

However, even such a distance was still too far away during the Cold Weapon War. Therefore, although the soldiers standing at the front were already sweating in their hands, and their throats were dry and they needed to keep swallowing and foaming, the generals on both sides still tacitly did not give any orders.

"One hundred and fifty paces, archers ready!" Finally, after such an extremely oppressive atmosphere lasted for a while, the generals of the Red Turban Army finally gave the first order to the archers in the military formation.

Hearing such a command, all the archers with strong bows couldn't help but put their arrows on the bowstring.

Then, after the enemy had reached a hundred paces, the second order was finally given. Thousands of strongbowmen finally drew their strongbows into the shape of a full moon, and pointed the cold and shining arrows diagonally into the air.

"Sixty steps, shoot the arrow!" A moment later, the final order was given. Suddenly, the rain of arrows also pierced the sky. And the sound of arrows cutting through the air and the screams of those who were hit by the arrows finally kicked off the prelude to this battle.
