Chapter 76 The Battle Between the Two Armies Is Gaining Momentum, and People Are Inside and Outside the Formation (4)
(Thank you for the commuter pass of sukangming.) )
The afternoon sun is like a chubby baby face, the halo emitted makes people tired, summer is a vibrant season, the sun should make people feel that the blood is boiling, but the scenery of this world, there is no absolute right and wrong, it is in the eyes of people, there are thousands of colors. Jingben is unintentional, it is intentional by people.
I don't know when the big elm tree in the courtyard was planted, and the thick trunk is about to usher in its most luxuriant time, and the sunlight shines down through the branches and leaves, turning into thousands of stars, falling on the ground of the bluestone slab, sparkling, like the eyes of a lover. Occasionally, the breeze blows the treetops, and the leaves are whispering, like the gentle whispers of a lover.
Ren Wanru, who was wrapped in red makeup, was still combing her favorite lily bun, holding a copy of the Book of Songs, sitting in front of the window and reading quietly, and suddenly looked up at the window, seeing this situation, a trance flashed in her crystal eyes, and she stayed there for a while.
The sun, the elm tree, the windowsill, the woman, this sketched picture scroll flows quietly in the river of time and space.
Ren Wanru remembered an interesting story she had heard not long ago. I heard that in the far south, in the depths of the green mountains and green waters, there is a small red bean, and local boys and girls often give this thing to each other as a medium to confess their hearts to each other. It is rumored that a young scholar in the former dynasty said goodbye to his favorite woman before going to Beijing to take the exam. Later, the scholar went to high school and stayed in the court as an official, but he had no time to return to his hometown, so there were three years apart. Three years later, the scholar happened to see the two shriveled red beans, remembered the woman who said goodbye to him on the ancient road, and resolutely resigned and returned to his hometown, staying with his appearance.
Ren Wanru pursed her lips.
For thousands of years, a red bean has not known how much acacia it has undertaken. There is a poem in the previous dynasty: red beans are born in the south, and a few branches are sent in spring. May you pick more, this thing is the most lovely.
The breeze entered the window and blew the pages in her hand, and the words on the pages were clearly visible: wild vines, zero dew. There is a beautiful person, as graceful as Qingyang......
The sun shone on her, like a layer of gold. It's just that the faint feelings condensed between her eyebrows and eyes, as if they can't be dissolved in the past and this life, are distressing to watch.
"Red Beans, Southern Country...... Even if you go south, I'm afraid you won't be able to see red beans. Ren Wanru murmured softly, stood up, and put the book in her hand on the table. She was about to lift her feet and leave, but she saw the pages of the book turning in the breeze, and she was reversing it several times, but she still couldn't change the flying pages.
"Qingfeng can't read, what's the matter with flipping books?" Ren Wanru shook her head and ignored it again. Walking away, I stood in front of the window again, and looked out of the window.
The courtyard faces north and south, and her eyes are facing south.
The thoughts of concubines, you can see?
Read it every day, read it all the time, think it with earnestness, and think it lightly...... When will Jun Xing return?
The little maid Xiyu ran into the courtyard gate with her skirt, and saw Ren Wanru in front of the window from a dozen steps away, shouting as she ran: "Miss, the master came back and said that Wang Shi had started a war with the Liang army on the river!" ”
ran out of the window, leaned on the window and said to Ren Wanru: "I heard that Gongzi's Hundred Battles Army has also arrived on the river......
Ren Wanru's expression was slightly dazed, and then she walked out of the door. He smiled faintly at Xiyu and said, "Gongzi has fought on the river, let's go to the temple to pray for him, may the Buddha bless him with victory on the battlefield and return safely." ”
Xiyu nodded heavily, and Ren Wanru left the small courtyard and headed towards Kaiyuan Temple.
……
The situation on the battlefield has boiled into a pot of porridge.
On the vast and wide flat land, the main formation of the Hundred Battles Army and the main formation of the Liang Army were separated by several miles, and in the middle of the two, there were 10,000 horses on each side of the two sides that were the first to enter the battlefield. There have already been more than a thousand dead and wounded on both sides, and the soldiers who are still alive continue to fight on this pile of corpses, no different from fierce beasts.
On the two flanks of this middle battlefield is the follow-up 10,000-strong army array sent by Wang Yanzhang, and Li Congjing greeted it with Peng Zushan and Wu Hook, and now they have already fought in one place. The entire battlefield, with the 20,000 men who started the battle first as the main battlefield, but it was the military formation on both flanks of the main battlefield, because one was anxious to encircle and the other was eager to resist, but the battle line was longer than the main battlefield, and the fierceness of the battle was not allowed at all, and the casualties came faster. On the line of battle, flesh and blood flew sideways, roars shook the sky, and the sound of armor soldiers colliding disturbed people's ears. Therefore, although the two wings of the battlefield later participated in the war, they had a tendency to fall into melee earlier than the main battlefield.
Once the two armies fall into a melee, the tight military formation will be broken, and the fighting between the two sides will also enter a state of disorder, which is the most dangerous situation on the battlefield.
In the entire Hundred Battles Army, only Junzidu and Chen Qinglin's 2,000 Heyang Army have not yet participated in the battle, they stand in front of the watchtower, guarding the front of the military city behind them, which is the last barrier.
At this time, Wang Yanzhang showed signs of increasing his troops again.
"Wang Yanzhang wants to surround the crowd with more people, but Wang Ba has an iron heart after eating the scales. But even if the Liang army really surrounded our army, our army may not be defeated, as long as the main formation can kill the enemy formation, the victory or defeat is still between the two! Seeing that Wang Yanzhang's generation of famous generals used this kind of tactics to bully people, Guo Chongtao couldn't help but be extremely annoyed, and looked at Li Congjing, "Congjing, give the old man a team, the old man will personally break Wang Yanzhang's military formation!" ”
Li Congjing smiled and said, "Senior brother, why should you be like this. If it's really time for you to go to the battlefield, I'm afraid that Wang Yanzhang has already attacked the military city. Now is not the time. ”
Guo Chongtao said angrily: "Congjing, you look down on the old man?!" ”
Li Congjing shook his head with a smile, straightened his clothes and armor, stretched out his hands and feet to move, looked at Guo Chongtao and said with a smile: "Senior brother, sit in the rear, dispatch the overall situation, and point out the direction for the whole army, this is an indispensable position in the war, I am very relieved that there is a senior brother here." ”
Guo Chongtao saw Li Congjing start to move his body, and said in surprise: "You want to go to the battlefield in person?" ”
"The soldiers are all working on their lives, as the commander, how can I have the reason to watch and not fight?" Li Congjing pulled out the horizontal knife, put it into the sheath again, checked the various buckles on his body, and the smile on his face did not decrease, "If it is a big victory, I may not have to go into battle in person, but it is a dilemma right now." The dilemma is not to be feared, but the dilemma needs someone to break the situation. At present, the generals of the hundred battle armies are doing their duty, and Meng Ping is the first, and the only one who can be used to break the game is me, the boss. ”
Guo Chongtao felt Li Congjing's ease and confidence at this time, and sighed: "Congjing is really a warrior!" He asked again: "Wang Yanzhang still has tens of thousands of troops and horses that have not moved, and the people you can mobilize are only about 5,000 people, do you have the confidence to break the situation?" ”
Li Congjing shook his head lightly, and said with a smile when Guo Chongtao's face was ugly: "I don't take Chen Qinglin with me, he still has to protect you to stick to the position of coach and can't move." I'm going, and it's enough to bring 3,000 gentlemen. ”
When Guo Chongtao heard this, his face became even more ugly, "There are only 3,000 people, even if they are all elites, how can they resist the tens of thousands of troops?" This move is too dangerous for you to go! ”
Li Congjing packed up and put on his body, and his hands and feet were already moving, he said: "I don't want to use 3,000 people to block tens of thousands of people, that is indeed as the senior brother said, it is not realistic." And if my guess is correct, Wang Yanzhang will not fail to see that Meng Ping's troops have the appearance of breaking the formation, but he insists on encircling with a large army, I am afraid that it is not the idea of gathering and annihilating. ”
"What's that for?" Li Congjing's words reminded Guo Chongtao, and he couldn't help but think about it in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
"What is the fundamental purpose of Wang Yanzhang's coming? He has a lot of soldiers, but why does he only invest 10,000 people at a time? These two problems, one is the root of this battle, and the other is his intention to use troops, and if you don't want to be clear, you can't speculate on his thoughts. Li Congjing smiled, "Senior brother, let me ask you, Bingcheng Fangjian, how many army do you think you can resist attacking?" ”
Guo Chongtao plucked his beard and said: "With the current defense of the city, five thousand people are enough to attack in one shot. ”
Li Congjing smiled, his smile was even more calm, "What if Wang Yanzhang used half of the military horses to contain my hundred battle army, so that my troops could not get out of the battlefield, and then used the other half of the military horses to bypass the battlefield and directly attack the military city, what would happen?" ”
"The city of soldiers must be destroyed in a moment!" Guo Chongtao reacted quickly, his eyes were solemn, and his voice was low, "And the military city is broken, and we can't protect the back road, the army will definitely have no fighting spirit, and the battle will be chaotic, so the whole army will be defeated!" ”
"It's more than a rout." Li Congjing raised his eyebrows slightly, "Once the siege soldiers and horses turn back and join forces with the current Liang army, then we will definitely be surrounded and annihilated." ”
"Really ginger is old and spicy! A seemingly simple battle, I didn't expect Wang Yanzhang's intentions to be so deep, he really deserves to be a veteran, and he is extremely shrewd in battle! Guo Chongtao punched hard and looked at Li Congjing with an eager expression, "If that's the case, what can I do?" ”
Li Congjing turned around and glanced at the fierce battlefield, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, his hand was clasped on the handle of the horizontal knife, and he tapped lightly down and down, and said: "Wang Yanzhang is falling step by step, Zizi has a deep machine, he is waiting, waiting for the battle to go on at a moment, and then send an army to trap my army of a hundred battles, so that when it comes to the critical time, he will sacrifice a killer weapon and decide the victory in one fell swoop." He's waiting, why shouldn't I? ”
Hearing this, Mo Li next to him opened the folding fan with a snap, faced the battlefield, and shook it gently, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Guo Chongtao was surprised and said: "So, you want to use three thousand gentlemen to break his momentum?" ”
"Why not?" Li Congjing asked rhetorically.
"Are you sure?" Guo Chongtao asked in a deep voice.
Li Congjing waved his hand, walked down the watchtower, and two words came from the air, "Try it." ”
Guo Chongtao looked at Li Congjing's back, his eyes could no longer hide the look of surprise, he glanced at Mo Li, but saw that this white-robed scholar was calm and relaxed, and the figure in the sun was indescribable.
"Breaking tens of thousands of people with 3,000 people is gambling; Rely on the victory or defeat of the army on adventure, a fool's move! The goatee staff reacted from their surprise, how could they not know the danger involved, and then they couldn't help jumping to their feet and began to complain, "Acting like this, treating the lives of the officers and soldiers of the three armies as child's play, it's ...... It's unreasonable! After that, remembering that his life was at stake, he didn't forget to persuade Guo Chongtao, "Your Excellency Privy Envoy, let's go back to the military city, defend the city, and still have a few chances of winning." It's not worth gambling with Li Congjing here! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, before Guo Chongtao could speak, he heard the sound of a sharp sword unsheathed.
When the sound of metal rubbing fell, Guo Chongtao's eyes widened.
Mo Li held a goatee in one hand, hung him on the wooden railing of the watchtower, hung half of his body in the air, held a sharp sword from the wooden sheath on his waist in one hand, rested it under the opponent's neck, and said coldly: "You don't understand the danger of war, you don't know the way to win a hundred battles, this son can understand, but if you can't control your mouth, this son will not be in the mood to see you again." Today, my son will take you as a military marshal! ”
Looking downstairs, the three thousand gentlemen all galloped out in a hurry, directly broke through the Liang army formation that was fighting against Wu Gou, and went straight to Wang Yanzhang's handsome banner on the vast flat land.
