The more Chen Shubao thought about it, the more frightened he became, and turned his head to Cai Tuo'er and yelled: "Hurry up and let Mrs. Xiao go back to General Xiao's mansion to stay, and go back to tell Concubine Zhang Guifei, just say that I am busy with state affairs these days, and all women are not allowed to enter the palace, go quickly!"

Cai Tuo'er ran away, Chen Shubao looked up at the sky, and muttered, "God, bless me Da Chen." ”

On Jiang Mountain in the south of the city, He Ruobi's side, there are only more than ten personal soldiers left, and the generals under his command have all gone down the mountain just now, and the front army led by Yuan Ming is bypassing Jiang Mountain and setting up a formation in front of the mountain, and the Chen army in the distance is basically all out of the city, and the army of about 100,000 people has set up a long snake formation, which is connected to the north and south, and it is more than 20 miles.

In the front array, about 15,000 infantrymen, with a big Tian character on one side, were the headquarters of Tian Rui, the general of Chen Guozhen's army.

In his rear, Lu Guangda's Lu character banner fluttered high, and the old general was riding on a horse, galloping back and forth in front of the army, delivering a speech before the war.

He Ruobi frowned, and continued to look back, behind Lu Guangda's headquarters, from north to south, there were three armies lined up side by side, each with 10,000 people, the left army was holding a Kongzi flag, which was the army of Chen Guo's courtier Kong Fan, and in the middle was a Fanzi banner, Fan Yi's helmet was bright, standing on a chariot, commanding the troops to move forward slowly.

And the most southern, is the Ren Zhong under the banner of Ren Zhong, today's decisive battle, Chen Shubao still transferred Ren Zhong from the south of the city, let him command his old department, but at this moment, the snow-white long-bearded veteran is riding on the horse with a heavy heart, and he doesn't even bother to look up at the enemy army opposite.

Chen's main formation was set up on Baitugang, a big banner with Xiao characters fluttering high, and 25,000 elite soldiers lined up around Baitugang, but Xiao Maha uncharacteristically did not ride on a war horse, but put a Hu bed on the gang, sat steadily, lowered his head, and didn't know what he was thinking.

He Ruobi's face was solemn, and his palms also felt sweaty, now he only had more than 10,000 troops in his hands, and the reinforcements in the camp didn't know if they could arrive in time, Tian Rui's department in the other party's first battle was not worried, but Lu Guangda seemed to be desperate, if he lost this battle, then he would be the disaster of extermination, He Ruobi suddenly regretted his decision to start a war here.

A hurried and excited voice sounded: "General He, General He, I have caught a spy of the Chen Dynasty!"

He Ruobi was slightly stunned, there was actually a Chen Dynasty spy in front of the two armies, which really surprised him, if he changed the usual time, he would order the spy to be pushed out and beheaded by the sacrificial flag without asking, but this time he felt that something was wrong, so he turned his head and asked, "What the hell is going on?" Will there be spies at this time? ”

The herald said: "Back to the general's words, that person galloped over from the enemy formation, wearing Chen Jun's clothes, but he has a token of General Han Capture Tiger Han in his hand, saying that he has something important to ask to see General He, we searched his body, there is no weapon, only a token of the enemy, and then there is this token of General Han." ”

He Ruobi's heart moved, and he said, "Bring this person up quickly." ”

Two wolf-like guards pushed a junior colonel Chen Jun who was wearing an earthy yellow military uniform and tied up with five flowers up the mountain, He Ruobi looked at it fixedly, and his face changed slightly: "Wang Huaqiang, how could it be you?" ”

Wang Huaqiang's mouth was blocked with a piece of cloth, and he couldn't speak all the way, and the rope just strangled the arrow wound on his left arm from the previous time, and the scab of the wound was worn down again after pushing down all the way, and the blood was dripping, and the pain made him grin and miserable.

He Ruobi also noticed the painful expression on Wang Huaqiang's face and a large pool of blood on his left arm, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and loosen the tie, this is not a spy." ”

The rope on Wang Huaqiang's body was finally untied, he took off the rag in his mouth, took two breaths of fresh air greedily, and only then did his face recover a little blood, and said, "General He, General Han sent the last general to pass the word. ”

He Ruobi nodded: "What does General Han have to say to me?" ”

Wang Huaqiang said: "General Han asked General He not to rashly fight with the Chen army head-on, King Jin has strictly ordered that the two generals need to go hand in hand, if General He starts a war here without authorization, it will disrupt the overall plan." ”

He Ruobi's face was like frost, and he pointed to the soldiers of the Chen army who were arranging five miles away: "Wang Dudu, you see, the main force of the Chen army is all here, as long as this battle is won today, then our army will no longer need to besiege the city, and Jiankang can be decided in one battle." If I don't fight this battle, the Chen army will think that they will repel our army as soon as they open the city, and their morale will be greatly boosted, and then our army will be very difficult whether it is a field battle or a siege of the city. ”

When He Ruobi said this, he suddenly looked at Wang Huaqiang: "Governor Wang, why are you dressed like this, since you followed Wang Kaifu to General Wang, there has been no news of you, could it be that you were captured by Chen Jun?" ”

Wang Huaqiang shook his head and arched his hand and said: "General He, the last general is now a soldier under the command of General Han, and General Han heard the sound of the golden drum outside the city, and I expect you to set up a decisive battle with the enemy, so the special general will come over to spread the word." ”

Now Wang Huaqiang has joined the army as a soldier, and he is already a position in the account, unlike the previous governor who belongs to the official position under the account, and is not qualified to enter the account to discuss matters, so his title has also changed from a small to the last general.

He Ruobi asked in a deep voice: "What I asked you about is not the words passed on by General Han, but how can you cross the entire Chen army's front and come to me, could it be that General Han has a connection with Ren Zhong in the Chen army?" ”

Wang Huaqiang turned his head to look at the herald who reported the news, and said, "The token in my arms has been searched by him. ”

The herald hurriedly presented two tokens to He Ruobi, one with a Ren character written on the front, and the other with a Korean character written on the other.

He Ruobi looked at it and handed the two tokens back to Wang Huaqiang: "The token is real, you answer my question just now, I am short on time, you make a long story short." ”

Wang Huaqiang said: "Yes, Ren Zhong has been disheartened with the Chen Dynasty, and he has already secretly communicated with General Han, but General Ren has not let go of his mouth before, and he is still hesitating, but after our army crossed the river a while ago, General Ren was snubbed by Shi Wenqing again, and in the past two days, he also heard that Xiao Maha's wife Ren, that is, his granddaughter, was fortunate by Chen Shubao to take advantage of Xiao Maha's absence, so he was completely desperate for Chen Chao and was willing to surrender to our army. ”

He Ruobi was shocked when he heard this: "What, Chen Shubao also got Xiao Maha's woman?" ”

Wang Huaqiang nodded: "Yes, just a while ago, when Xiao Maha led the troops to patrol the river every day, Chen Shubao has also been doing this, and the senior generals of the Southern Dynasty know about this matter, and Xiao Maha is deeply ashamed, so he almost didn't say a word in this war." ”

He Ruobi looked at Xiao Maha in the distance and laughed: "No wonder Xiao Maha is so abnormal today, he doesn't even ride a horse." It turned out that he didn't have the heart to fight this battle at all, and he refused to surrender on his own initiative, so he simply didn't do anything. Such a Chen army, I should be a big blow to it. Wang joins the army, your intelligence is very good, after this battle is over, I will ask for credit for you, now you stay here and see how our army can break the enemy's army. ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled slightly: "Huaqiang has this opportunity to learn the art of war from General He on the spot, and it is an honor!"

He Ruobi's left and right took a maza, He Ruobi sat on it with a golden knife, his expression became calm and strict, and the guards on the left and right called the military doctor to help Wang Huaqiang deal with the wounds on his body, and re-apply the medicine and bandage it, the herald was even more apologetic, and he had been working beside the military doctor, which made Wang Huaqiang a little embarrassed.

He Ruobi saw the Tian family banner in front of him and began to move forward slowly, Tian Rui rode a high-headed horse, commanding the fifteen thousand foot soldiers to form a formation, the standard infantry battle line, the shield hand in front, the spear lance like a forest, lined up in more than ten columns, the sergeant in the back row put the spear on the shoulders of the soldiers in the front row, forming a sea of spears, firmly and forcefully pressing towards the troops of Yuan Ming.
