Chapter 193: Battle 1
The logistics team sent by the Yanshan Fort camp returned from Le'an County, and two thousand people rushed back to the Yanshan Fort camp, but a few miles behind it, three thousand cavalry followed closely, and the countless spies were also roaming around.
The closer they got to the camp of Yanshan Fort, the more horses and rangers on the road were explored, but they were all solved by the logistics team one by one, and the caravan from the south to the north was also intercepted by the Huolin army in various passages around Le'an County. Of course, it was the remaining servant army who came forward.
In this battle, 2,000 foot soldiers dressed up as logistics teams, followed by the Red Wolf Battalion and the Fufeng Battalion, as the main force of the onslaught. In Le'an County, there were 2,000 people left, of which 1,000 were Yingzhou troops, and 1,000 were recruited from the big families who had been destroyed, and those who had some basic recruits from those families and guards.
In Yanshan Fort, the hall was full of lieutenants and generals, because today was the time to start the operation, and everyone was waiting here, waiting for the order to act.
At dawn, all the captains were silently waiting in the hall, and Zhao Xun was also sitting on the main seat, seemingly calmly flipping through the information on the situation in Yingzhou Mansion on the table.
At first, the lieutenants were able to sit quietly and wait, but as time went on, they became a little anxious. Several pots of charcoal fire in the hall bring warmth and drive away a trace of cold. But the captains are shaking their bodies as if they are in the cold winter and the snowy land.
Looking at the people who were a little anxious, Zhao Xun put down the book in his hand and said with a smile: "What? What is there to be anxious about, so to be worried? It's not us who should be worried now, it's the Evil Army in the south! Let go of the worries of your hearts, do you still not believe in your brothers? ”
Of course, it's not that I don't believe Zhao Mang and others, but I'm worried that there will be some accidents. The previous situation was that the Huolin Army and the Huolin Army of Le'an County flanked the Yan Ya Army south of Yanshan Fort. But in the same way, it is also possible that the Yan army outside Yanshan Fort will flank the Huolin army in Le'an County with the Yan army in the counties south of Le'an County. It may even affect the overall plan and change the current situation.
Zhao Xun also knew that it was inevitable that everyone would be nervous, but as a leading general, he would naturally be nervous in the event of an emergency. Zhao Xun also deliberately sat firmly like a mountain to cultivate and regulate the feelings of these captains. He hoped that his subordinates would become generals in the future, not just a small captain.
Zhao Xun knew their thoughts very well, looked at the other people, and said gently: "The purpose of my coming here, everyone understands that the current advantage is completely in our hands, you don't have to worry about what will go wrong, you have to believe in the ability of the brother troops in Le'an County." For the generals, Mount Tai collapsed in front and the color remained unchanged, and the elk was on the left and not instantaneous! If you want to become a real general, calm me down! As he spoke, his tone became much more severe.
More than a dozen lieutenants and lieutenants all turned red and ordered again. But there was still an air of anxiety in their eyes.
"All battalions are ready to attack on time at noon, whatever the situation. The infantry comes first, and once the gap is opened, the cavalry will take advantage of the situation. "If it weren't for the cavalry, who couldn't fight back and forth here for a long time, Zhao Xun would definitely let the cavalry assault.
As he spoke, one of the scouts rushed into the hall and shouted, "Report...... Emergency military intelligence! ”
Zhao Xun said calmly: "Say! ”
The scout blinked his eyes and hurriedly said: "Report to your lordship, Captain Zhao of Le'an County has set off from Le'an County, and has now arrived at the camp of the Yan Army for more than thirty miles!" ”
Zhao Mang's actions made the captains in the hall secretly breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts. Even Su Ziyan, who had been accompanying Zhao Xun on her side, couldn't help but breathe a deep sigh, for some reason, now she was also beginning to worry about the fate of her Huolin Army.
"I'm worried that the defeat of the Huolin Army will affect their support for my Shunzhou Army. It must be so! It must be ......," Su Ziyan said to herself comforting herself.
Zhao Xun showed a faint smile on his face, pondered for a moment, and said undoubtedly: "The generals listen to the order!" ”
The captains got up at the same time and said in unison: "The subordinates are here!" ”
"Gather the whole army at once! Prepare to attack! As planned, we took the lead. By the way, let the Evil Army go to war hungry! ”
"Command!"
Suddenly, countless knights rushed out of Yanshan Fort and scattered northward, so that the spies of the Yan Army who had been monitoring them were stunned, and they didn't know what the Huolin Army of Yanshan Fort was crazy about, of course, they would also report back this information truthfully.
After the time of the half-pillar incense, Tanma sent the latest bulletin.
On the side of the Zuofu Army, the infantry troops of five battalions were ready for battle, and the troops had already set off from the hiding place in the north of Yanshan Fort and were heading in front of Yanshan Fort. The cavalry battalion also followed closely behind the Zuofu General Infantry Troops to join up and attack the Yan Yan Army together, and the 2,000 infantry soldiers in Yanshan Fort were also allowed to move with the army at the request of the soldiers.
The sudden appearance of the Huolin Army also let the Tanma of the Yan Army know that after General Lei Yan received the information, he exhaled and slashed the intelligence officers of the Sea Eagle Division.
"That's what the intelligence officers said? There is no sign of movement of the Fire Lin Army? A group of stupid pigs, Zhao Xun, the commander of the Huolin Army, came to Lexian, obviously to mobilize the army, intending to launch an operation against us. Forehead! The intelligence officer who is the same as the stupid pig says it's okay, damn it! ”
"Blow the trumpet, let the soldiers prepare for battle! MD, there are still 2,000 soldiers who have gone to transport grain and have not yet returned, 6,000 against nearly 10,000. Damn it! Damn it! Lei Yan was almost crazy and scolded those intelligence officers of the Sea Eagle Department.
"General, our soldiers haven't eaten yet?" An adjutant general whispered.
Lei Yan slapped the table and said angrily, "Eat...... Eat...... If you don't want to die, you can eat it. TMD, equip me for a battle and defeat the Huolin Army. ”
"Someone, give an order immediately, let the team carrying the grain come quickly, and join the battle immediately!"
"Immediately send a message to the horse, so that General Lei Du of Le'an County will gallop and come to the battle. Since the Fire Lin Army wants to give Tiger Whiskers a try, let's teach them a hard lesson. Hum! Don't think that if you have more people, you can beat us. The warriors of the Ya tribes are not something that you Han people can defeat! Lei Yan said coldly.
"Assemble! Fight the battle! ”
The sound of a low horn echoed throughout the camp. Those soldiers who were still preparing lunch felt a little strange that the assembly horn, which they had never thought of many times, sounded today. For a while, many soldiers were still a little confused.
"Quick! Trumpet, assemble! Immediately, do you want to lose your head! The captain shouted angrily. Suddenly, one by one, the soldiers rushed up and ran towards the designated venue.
Subsequently, the army of the Devil received news that the Huolin army in the north had launched an attack, and the entire battalion was about to meet it. Regarding this news, the sergeant of the Yan army was very clear about the ability of the Yan army, or the combat power. In a word, in one word, that is vulnerable. In their opinion, the Huolin army in the north was the same, and in a battle, they still defeated them and let them flee back to Yanzhou Mansion.
Compared with the disdain of the soldiers, Lei Yan and the seven or eight generals were much more careful. As the closest defender to Yanzhou Mansion, they knew a lot about the Huolin Army, and they knew that more than 50,000 of the Yan Army had been defeated by them and driven out of Yanzhou Mansion.
But they are not afraid, in their opinion, the Huolin army can drive the Bo Du Department out of the Yanzhou Mansion and defeat more than 50,000 soldiers of the Bo Du Department, that is because of the internal discord of the Bo Du Department, coupled with careless behavior, it is not that the Yan warriors are inferior to the Yan army. In their hearts, most of the Yan army is still a vulnerable team. In the north, the only one that can fight with the Tatar army is the Longxiang army, and the Longxiang army will obviously not participate in the battle with the Taya army.
After the hour of the two pillars of incense, the foot soldiers of the Huolin army officially met with the Yan Ya army and were eight miles away on the south side of Yanshan Fort. From the time when the northern and southern armies were abnormal, the merchants who traveled between Yingzhou and Yanzhou in the north and south immediately disappeared. Between the whole heaven and earth, only the sound of brushing footsteps and the sound of howling cold wind remained.
At the beginning, Zhao Xun was going to attack the camp of the Martial Army from the night, but after the final discussion, everyone thought that they could fight with the Martial Army head-on and completely defeat the Elite Army, in addition to letting the Elite Army know the strength of the Huolin Army, but also let the soldiers under his command, especially the newly recruited soldiers, know that the Elite Army, if we can defeat it from the front.
Eight miles away from the south side of Yanshan Fort is a barren beach, which may have been formed by a large flood in the past, and unlike the surrounding areas, the land of the barren beach is a relatively empty place. In Zhao Xun's words, this place is very suitable for war.
The flat barren beach is no longer the beach of many years ago, it has long been pressed by pedestrians and motorcades to resemble a wilderness, except for the driveway, the land around the wilderness is covered with thick weeds, and a few unknown strong wildflowers are swaying in the middle. The cold wind blew through this flat land, and the weeds all bowed down obediently, as if they were also avoiding being bent by the wind.
"Array!"
The voices of the commanders on both sides, the Huolin Army from the north, the Zuofu Army, and the Yan Army from the south, all stopped and began to assemble in formation. The flags on both sides were waving violently, directing their respective soldiers to carry out a series of movements.
This is the only very flat and wide land around, there is enough space for tens of thousands of troops close to both sides to assemble and set up, such a terrain, for both sides, there is no need to seize the position, so both sides appear to be orderly, steady encampment, set up position.
There was a distance of about two hundred paces in the middle, and in the middle was a flat ground with a few inexplicable wild flowers and withered yellow weeds, and the sun shone on these weeds, reflecting a dappled light. At this time, although it is winter, the weeds on the ground have not completely withered, and some weeds are particularly lush in the cold wind, and the occasional bare ground is like a scar on the head of a leprosy, which is particularly conspicuous and incompatible with the surrounding environment.
Scouts from both armies were stationed on the outermost flank of the ranks, and their positions were held with crossbow arrows. Scouts on both sides are equipped with horses, making them the fastest people on the battlefield and the quickest opponents to get rid of. To be able to become a scout, the most basic requirements are to be high, quick to react, quick to have hands and eyes, and the brain must be flexible enough.
In the short time of the two pillars of incense before, the scouts on both sides have fought to the death several times, and dozens of scouts on both sides have died on the battlefield, but the war has not officially begun, and they are also the earliest soldiers to die. Generally speaking, scouts are extremely elite soldiers, but they are also extremely easy to sacrifice. Zhao Xun was also very sad about their deaths. However, this is unavoidable, and wars are like that, always witnessing the victory and greatness of the other with the death of one side.
Originally, there were a few frightened sparrows flying in the sky, greedily absorbing the warmth of the sun in the bright sunshine, as if they didn't feel the rapid change of the surrounding atmosphere at all.
In the end, I don't know who can't stand their swaying figures, and thinks they are really annoying, maybe it's the Fire Lin Army, maybe it's the Yan Army. In short, someone shot a series of sharp arrows, and these innocent sparrows fell silently into the crowd, and were finally trampled into meat sauce by countless straw sandals or barefoot.
In such weather, the other birds have already migrated south, only they are still active, and they want to enjoy the warmth of the sun alone, but they did not expect to become the target of other people's bows and arrows, which is too wronged, if they can accuse, they must go back to accuse this group of executioners who occupy their homes and kill them.
