Baocheng, also known as Baoguo City, because this is the ancient land of Baoguo in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the history of the famous cold and glamorous and not like to laugh Bao Xi, that is, because of the defeat of the Bao Kingdom was dedicated to the king of Zhou You, and was established as the queen after being favored, which led to the dispute for the throne. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

As a result, the father of Queen Shen after the abolition of Queen Shen, Shen Gong, united with the Yan State and the dog Rong soldiers to admonish the capital, and the Western Zhou Dynasty was destroyed. King Zhou You was defeated and the country was destroyed, and Bao Xi was obtained by the King of Dog Rong, and then the envoy of Qin State saw Bao Xi in the account of King Dog Rong, and he was still as cold as ever.

And the princes of the Beacon Fire Opera are actually just the dim actions of King Zhou You. In the Western Weekend era, it was normal for the princes to not move, and it had little to do with Bao Xi. And Shen Gong's military advice was successful, and the king of Eastern Zhou Ping, who later ascended the throne, was the son of Shen Hou.

Part of the reason why Bao Guo and Bao Xi lost power was because of the geographical relationship. And now, Zhang Yue is also in the north of this basin to lead an army to fight, the rear is the difficult and dangerous Shu Road, more than 10,000 soldiers of grain and grass supply transportation is extremely inconvenient, and looting is of course not possible.

After seizing the military fortress on the high ground two miles north of the city on the 23rd, Han Baozheng could not retreat. The next day, Zhang Yue was already preparing for a decisive battle, and at the same time sent scouts to inquire about the movements of the training department.

At noon on this day, Han Baozheng finally confirmed that Chenggu County had really been lost, and Zhang Yue's troops had also been reduced by 5,000 troops, leaving only 11,000 forbidden troops. At this time, Han Baozheng had a military advantage, and finally began to gather all the troops of Xingyuan Mansion to go north to the flat land east of Baocheng to meet Zhang Yue's troops head-on.

On the afternoon of the 24th, he ordered the army to move to the flat land on the east bank of Baoshui, which is called Baoguoyuan, which happens to be the footfall of the Qinling branch in the north of the Hanzhong Basin.

Nanzheng is only less than thirty miles away from Baocheng, the garrison camp of Xingyuan Mansion is in the north of the city, and the flat land in the east of Baocheng can be arrived in half a day.

By the afternoon of the 25th, all the garrisons of Xingyuan Mansion had gathered in Baocheng, and the total strength was about 15,000 people, plus what Han Baozheng had brought to Baocheng in advance.

However, in Zhang Yue's view, these 15,000 people must have water, and Shannan West Daojiedu has jurisdiction over Xingyuan Mansion and Xingzhou, and the Xingzhou soldiers will not be able to come. The Xingyuan Mansion has jurisdiction over five counties: Baocheng, Chenggu, Nanzheng, Xixian, and Jinniu, of which Xixian and Jinniu County are far away, and it is necessary to guard the entrance of Jinniu Road and maintain the back road to Shuzhong in the south, so it is naturally impossible to come, so the troops in Han Baozheng's hands are at least a few thousand of them were recruited and trained before the outbreak of war.

And Chenggu County was lost, the road to the west aid was blocked, and it was impossible for Pet Fucheng to come again. And Gao Yanyu was defeated in Qingniling first, and then defeated and withdrew from Shunzheng County, Li Tingqi arrived at Xingcheng Pass, and it was impossible to return to help in a very short time, which was the helpless move that prompted Han Baozheng to fight a decisive battle.

According to the upper limit of Fang Zhen's troops, as well as the pre-war understanding and intelligence reconnaissance, Zhang Yue certainly knew Han Baozheng's troop situation, if Li Tingqi and Pang Fucheng's troops were added, the strength would be considerable, and the decisive battle would not be something Zhang Yue dared to imagine. The real fight is more with less, and it is all forced to be helpless.

Early in the morning of the 26th, the sky was slightly bright, the sky was cloudy, and the field was shrouded in mist, but the air was unusually dull and hot, and it seemed that it had been sunny for too long, and it was about to become a heavy rain.

The rain in June and July tends to come quickly, Zhang Yue is a little worried, and Feng Qianhou rode out of the camp on horseback, watching the sky on a small hillside, if the rain can't be fought today, the decisive battle is not known when it will be, and it will be delayed indefinitely.

"It doesn't look like the rain is coming down yet, at least in the afternoon or at dusk, so we can arrange it calmly." Feng Qianhou said with a smile.

"How so?" Zhang Yue looked at the gentle slopes and mountains full of weeds in the field in the distance, and didn't know how Feng Qianhou observed the meteorological changes.

"You see on this ground, the swarms of ants are still crawling without hurry, and there are sparrows flying everywhere among the grass to feed, which was not like this half a day before it rained. When the weather changes, insects, birds, and beasts can perceive it better than humans, and they will lie dormant first. The so-called observation of the heavens and the perception of the phenomena is to guess the result from these subtle things. Clever calculation, that is also the accumulation of knowledge and experience, but it is not so mysterious. Feng Qian said eloquently.

"Haha...... Teachable! "Observing the weather, these are all common sense, of course Zhang Yue also understands, but he is more about observing the state of clouds in the air, feeling the temperature, wind direction or something, as a soldier marching outside, of course, you must always pay attention to this.

At this time, Li Chuyun rode over to ask for instructions, and arched his hand: "The soldiers have prepared breakfast for breakfast, do you want to go out of the camp to line up?" ”

"Of course...... Line up according to the plan of last night's military meeting! At the same time, pay attention to the movements of the Baocheng Hanbao Department. Zhang Yue nodded and replied.

"Order! Drive! Li Chuyun, as the left wing of Hujie, waited for him, and concurrently led the platoon envoy, and a series of arrangements before the war had to be prepared in place, and he immediately returned to the camp.

"Let's go back to camp too! You can't let your subordinates come all the way to report the military situation! Feng Qianhou said with a smile.

"Okay! Listen to your ......" Zhang Yue was in a good mood, and went back to the camp with Feng Qianhou.

The soldiers have already marched out of the camp under the urging of their respective capitals, and the troops of the capital have completed their assembly, and they have assembled in front of their respective command tents in an orderly manner, and then waited for the military capital to send someone to come to the predetermined position for counting and acceptance, and finally gathered into an army.

The assembly of tens of thousands of troops can not be done wrong, and the more troops there are, the slower and more difficult it will be to assemble, which requires a unified and coordinated command structure, usually assisted by the camp and the commander.

Then the military order is more important, all by the commander of the small red flag to fill the role, if it is a marshal, there are professional guards or tooth soldiers carrying the tooth flag handsome flag, plus a guard of honor cymbals, drums and horns, it is really majestic.

Zhang Yue and Murong Yanzhao did not lead Fang Zhen at the same time, of course, they did not have such a high standard, and the two of them combined were only two commanders. Murong Yanzhao's personal guard commander was his third brother Murong Yanqing, and his eldest son Murong Deye.

Zhang Yue's current personal guard commander is Du Ximi, deputy envoy Yang Xuanli, and Fu Zhaoji and Zhang Cheng have just been promoted to the head of the capital. In addition, the 300 people brought by Song Lingguang, who came back from Chenggu County, were under the command of Hao Tianying as the attaché of the Chinese army, and they were subordinates of the Chinese army together with Murong Yanqing.

The battlefield position has a radius of more than ten miles, which has been carefully selected a long time ago, and it is basically quite flat, with a slight slope, covered with wild grasses and wild flowers that are still high in Qi Qi, and there are clumps of half-human-high barthatch, which grow verdant and verdant, and cannot be seen at a glance.

The main army has not yet left the camp, and the scout sentry cavalry is sent to run back and forth in the battlefield position, and the same is true for the Shu army, the position of the formation must be selected, and the other party's scouts cannot be allowed to approach, and the two sides are chasing and intercepting each other to prevent approaching.

Those barmao and small trees, plus too tall weeds will become an obstacle for the soldiers to walk and advance, which is also to be removed, and both sides have also sent a team of fifty stragglers to dig up or harvest, and the middle of the battlefield happens to be a low-lying place, there is a radius of two miles, the grass is higher and denser, all deliberately ignored, and then it depends on who can adapt better.

In the middle of the hour, the sun usually comes out at this time, but now it is cloudy. Anyway, the Shu army is still assembling, and those who cross the Baoshui River Bridge are only some small vanguard troops, and the Chinese army has not yet left the county seat.

Zhang Yue was not in a hurry, and went back to the camp to call the second brother Zhang Cheng to help put on the mountain pattern armor, put on the ear-turning iron helmet, and hang the waist knife out of the Chinese army's big tent, Fu Zhaoji had already led the war horse and waited outside, Zhang Yue took the Xuanlu gun, and saw that there was a pair of bows and crossbows on the horse's back, and there were two pots of arrows, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Don't play this kind of big battle, you two don't play, first follow me and get acquainted with the generals, be a scout, run errands as a herald, accumulate some experience in marching and deploying troops, and then start from the commander in the future." Zhang Yue patted Fu Zhaoji on the shoulder, patted the second brother's helmet again, and smiled and encouraged.

"I've been in the army for almost three years, and I haven't been in battle once, and I was lucky in the battle of Huining, so I picked up a cheap and cut off two heads...... The battle of Gaoping didn't go to ......" Zhang Cheng tilted his head and said with grievances.

"That's fine! Don't panic when you go into battle after seeing blood! Fu Zhaoji is not a recruit, he was a tooth soldier next to his uncle Fu Yanqing when he was a teenager, he has been on the battlefield, so he explained with a smile.

"The Chinese army is assembled in formation! The camp dignitaries prepare quickly, and those who arrive late will be killed! Hao Tianying shouted at the middle military camp, and several of the commander's personal soldiers also began to gather busily.

Murong Yanqing first came over with his own soldiers and joined forces with Hao Tianying, and then Murong Yanzhao came out with a few entourages unhurriedly, and saw Zhang Yue arching his hand to say hello, and lined up outside the gate of the Chinese military camp together.

In addition to the sentry, there are craftsmen and wounded soldiers, the camp seems a little empty, Li Chuyun has already led the soldiers out of the camp to assemble and standby, just waiting for Zhang Yue's order to go to the battlefield.
