Chapter 251: Decisive Battle (1st Update)
When Ren Gui said this, his speech became faster and faster, his face became ruddy as if he was drunk, he waved his fists and said sharply: "Think about it, if you withdraw the army at this time, you will inevitably have to settle accounts for the Sui people when you go back, and the best result is to be like my uncle, who will be arrested and put under house arrest in Daxing, and leave his clan and his son forever." Fight for freedom or die in humiliation, the choice is yours!"
Everyone in the tent was silent, and Li Guangshi moved his mouth, wanting to speak, but finally endured it. Gao Qianli sighed: "Ren Junshi, we all understand what you said, but now if you withdraw the army back to the mountain, there is still room for turning, it may not be as unbearable as you said, if you really fight to the end, then there is no room for even this turnaround!"
Wang Zhongxuan sneered: "Do you think there is still room for turning the ring now? Do you think that if you didn't participate in the battle against Wei Huan, the Sui dogs would let you go? These days to attack Panyu City, which of you has not been able to attack the city? Everyone was allied by blood at the beginning, and now they all have the blood of the Sui people on their hands, so no one should think about taking off this relationship. I, Wang Zhongxuan, killed Wei Huan, and I don't expect to turn back, you are actually the same!"
Ren Gui smiled "hehe": "Wang Qushuai is right, only if you can live in a group, you will definitely die if you disperse, fight hard, and only by winning this battle can you have the hope of recruiting peace, and what you can't get on the battlefield is even more impossible to get by surrendering." Listening to my arrangement and fighting style, the main force of the Sui army will definitely be in the center, and when the time comes, the two wings will drag Feng An's lackey soldiers, and the center will concentrate all its strength to break through the Sui army, and it will definitely be able to win this battle!"
Gao Qianli's eyes suddenly revealed a hint of determination. He gritted his teeth. said, "Then I believe you again." This time, I'm gambling on the net worth and lives of our commanders and leaders! I'll leave it all to you as a military advisor!"
As soon as these words came out, many of the commanders and leaders present nodded yes one after another, and a smug expression flashed on Ren Gui's face: "Then let's hurry up and go to the logging first, make shields and baffles!"
Five days later, ten miles north of Panyu City, two large armies set up a long front, separated by a distance of three miles, and in the center of the north was the Sui army of three thousand black-clothed and black-armoured people. On the two wings are 40,000 barbarian troops, without banners, the formation is scattered, with their respective villages as units, a pile in the east and a pile in the west, hundreds of people are gathered together in groups to form two large groups of black pressure, except for the two Sui banners of their respective Chinese armies, there are no flags.
On the other hand, the 3,000 Sui army in the center is full of banners. A front spread out about two miles wide, a team of fifty people. The warbands were staggered with the garrisons, each of fifty men with two flags, and the army was silent compared to the noisy barbarian allies on both sides, and the soldiers in the front row were carrying evil faces and holding strong bows and crossbows, but the eyes behind them flashed with a fierce murderous aura and a desire to fight.
On the opposite side of the Sui army, the 100,000 barbarian army also lined up a large array, in fact, it was not a big formation, it was basically three major regiments, like the barbarians on the two wings of the Sui army, there was no banner and organization at all, hundreds of people gathered in a group, crowded together in a disorderly manner. It's just that the barbarians on both sides seem a little listless and preoccupied, and only the barbarians in the center look much more disciplined and can list some neat ranks.
Ren Gui and Wang Zhongxuan each rode a bantam horse, there is no pasture here in Lingnan, the war horse is completely impossible to raise, the height of this short-legged southwest horse is only two-thirds of the height of the standard war horse, and the body shape is about the same as that of a donkey, but in this Lingnan land, it has actually become the general's mount.
Wang Zhongxuan smiled and pointed at the Sui army array directly opposite him with a horsewhip: "Haha, Ren Junshi, look at the so-called main force of the Sui army, there are only 3,000 people, it seems that we were too careful before, if we had known that they were just a little bit of people, we wouldn't even have to do a shield, just rush over and slash and kill it, haha." ”
Ren Gui's face was also a lot more relaxed, but he still said: "Wang Shuai, you still can't underestimate the enemy, you look at the bows and crossbows in their hands, but they are all hard-pierced guys, Zhou Shuai's troops should have underestimated their opponents at the beginning, and they will be defeated in the hands of their strong bows and crossbows." ”
Wang Zhongxuan smiled even more proudly, and the muscles on his arms exposed outside the leather armor were shaking: "Master Ren, haven't you already made preparations, I think that no matter how strong and fast these arrows are, it is impossible to shoot through your big shields and baffles." ”
Ren Gui glanced back at the hundreds of big carts with baffles hidden behind the five thousand people of the front army, and then looked at the wide wooden shield in the hands of the front army, and smiled knowingly: "Of course, there is no problem with this!"
Ren Gui suddenly thought of something, and frowned slightly: "It's just Wang Shuai, is there really no problem for you to let Gao Qianli and Li Guangshi guard the camp?" ”
Wang Zhongxuan waved his hand: "Ren Junshi, I know that you can't rest assured about these two guys, in fact, I am the same as you, especially Li Guangshi, who has already descended the Sui army once, and came back with the head of Zhou Shuai's department, obviously trying to disturb the hearts of our army, but there were still many leaders of various departments who were uncertain at that time, and you also saw it, I can't kill him for a while, so I can only write down this account first, and then calculate it after winning the battle."
The surname Gao is also, the most wavering is this guy, today I can't take these two guys to the battlefield, let them defend the enemy army in Panyu City in the big camp, and don't let them know the battle situation here, it should be the safest way. ”
Ren Gui nodded: "It can only be like this, after the victory in this battle, Wang Shuai, your prestige is unprecedented, and then you will find a way to clean up these two disobedient thieves." Hey, by the way, Wang Shuai, what do you do when you look at the two shallow ditches dug in front of the Central Committee of the Sui Army? ”
Wang Zhongxuan wiped his eyes, glanced at the ditch in front of Sui Jun that was two miles long and about half a foot deep, and shook his head: "I don't understand." ”
Wang Huaqiang and Pei Shiju in the Sui army formation were immediately behind the formation at this time, and standing beside them was Feng An, who was wearing a feather fur helmet and a rhino leather armor, he was about twenty-five or six years old, dark and thin, and his appearance was not very similar to that of the Central Plains, but somewhat like the Nanyang Kunlun Nu who was performing in the Daxing Bazaar, his eyes were slightly squinted, his two eyebrows were black and thick, his lips were two hooked whiskers, and the angular lines on his face were very obvious.
Feng Ang also wore a green cloak today, and the rhino leather armor was colorfully decorated with various dazzling gems.
Wang Huaqiang smiled and said to Feng An, who had a solemn face: "General Feng, it seems that your confidence is not too much!"
Feng Ang sighed: "General Wang, the inferior general has been waiting for the follow-up army to arrive before fighting the enemy, after all, their number is more than double that of our army, and the most fatal thing is that you refused my mention today, and only three thousand heavenly soldiers were deployed in the center, although the heavenly soldiers are strong, but the heroes can't stand the crowd." The enemy army is the elite of Wang Zhongxuan's headquarters, 40,000 to 3,000, it's still difficult!"
Feng Ang glanced at Pei Shiju, licked his lips, and said, "Governor Pei, do you think you want to transfer 10,000 people from the two wings and list them behind the heavenly soldiers in the center as backup?" ”
Wang Huaqiang glanced at Feng Ang coldly, his eyes were like a cold sword, and his heart moved: "General Feng, this is the battlefield, there is only one main general, Wang Huaqiang, if you have anything to mention, you can mention it directly to me." ”
The beard on Feng An's lips trembled, and his voice raised a little: "General Wang, then what do you think of the humble general's mentions?" Now that the enemy's deployment is not over, we still have time to adjust, and it will not be too late!"
Wang Huaqiang suddenly laughed: "General Feng, you seem to have forgotten that the 20,000 people raised by Zhou Shiju were completely wiped out in front of our army, and our army was only 3,000 at that time, and the casualties added up to less than 20. ”
Feng Ang was so anxious that he pointed to Wang Zhongxuan's department opposite: "General Wang, you can take a good look, today's enemy troops are all wearing big wooden shields, although the humble generals are border savages, they also know that the heavenly soldiers are mainly strong bows and crossbows, but like the big wooden shields that are half a foot thick in their hands, the bows and crossbows can't be shot, if the thief army can hold out until the short battle, it will be a big trouble!"
