When the main force of Hao Rendu's Chinese army was building a pontoon bridge to cross the river in Xuzhou, he heard the news that Wang Baobao's army was moving eastward, and ordered the whole army to advance quickly to support Wu Liuqi and Chang Yuchun who were heading north. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yanzhou is located in the north and south, locking and controlling the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which has always been a battleground for soldiers, and for Wang Baobao and Hao Ren, Yanzhou is equally important.

Hao Ren occupied Yanzhou, and to the north he could attack Dadu along the canal, and the canal was used as a barrier to prevent Wang Baobao from going east, and then cut off the peninsula east of the canal from Wang Baobao, leaving Chen Yu and other generals to whip the city that refused to surrender, and then took the entire peninsula into his pocket.

Hao Rendushuai's main force has just converged with Chang Yuchun and others, Chang Yuchun has already taken the first step to capture Yanzhou, and Wang Baobao's Mengyuan army has come from afar, wanting to take advantage of the Song army's unstable foothold to recapture Yanzhou, and then contain the Song army's Northern Expedition Peak.

In the west of Yanzhou City, Hao Ren personally commanded the army to march westward to meet the main army of Wang Baobao in the east, and the two sides came to each other invariably, and the army of hundreds of thousands of people suddenly encountered on the plain west of Yanzhou.

For a moment, the horn whimpered, the war drums filled, the flag hunted, and the sword was unsheathed.

Wang Baobao's army rushed from afar, covered with dust, the faces of the soldiers, many of them were tired, the number was about the same as the Song army, there were 300,000 people, the cavalry was in front, the infantry was behind, the cavalry and the infantry, each accounted for half, and the army array stretched, like a wave.

The military office of Meng Yuan Zhong, hanging high the handsome flag of "the generalissimo king of thieves and soldiers and horses in the world", under the handsome flag, dozens of generals surrounded the general of the Hu people, it was Wang Baobao.

Hao Ren put down the binoculars in his hand, felt quite sorry in his heart, and said to the Wenchen military generals beside him: "Wang Baobao, this uncle, has a lot more troops than my uncle, but the means of leading troops are far less than Li Chahan. ”

Wang Baobao looked at Hao Ren's military formation, couldn't help but gasp, and said secretly: Today there are fewer wins and more defeats!

But seeing the military formation of the Great Song Dynasty, the front row is full of big shields. The shield was as high as a person, more than a meter wide, such a large shield was not suitable for movement, and an iron wheel was installed underneath, and the shield was tilted inward, apparently supported by a wooden handle at the back, and did not need to be held by a person. Such a stretching shield is extremely neat, all around the Song army's military array, as if this is a moving city, and there are 300,000 soldiers and horses in the city.

Wang Baobao looked at it and found that there are still individual differences in such shields, many shields, sticking out of the muzzle of the black hole, is an improved version of the artillery, a large shield, has been all covered by the gunners behind it, I am afraid that no matter how strong the bow and crossbow is, it will not be able to shoot the gunners behind.

Above the big shield, on the left and right sides, there are several black holes and holes, and I don't know what to use them for.

Although the shield wall is neat, there are still many regular gaps in the middle of the shield wall, which obviously leave a gap in the dispatch of soldiers and horses, and this gap seems to be able to increase or close at any time.

The Song army was a Han soldier, so the number of cavalry was relatively small, less than one-fifth of the whole army, these were no longer important, and the strong shield wall made up for the disadvantage of the small number of cavalry of the Han army.

At this time, Wang Baobao had only one thought in his heart - he had to run. After running, such a shield would definitely not be able to catch up with his cavalry, and if Hao Ren sent cavalry to pursue, he could use several times his strength to eliminate the cavalry of the Song army.

However, Wang Baobao has been involved in the internal struggle for too long, and now he has encountered the Song army, and he will not even fight, he, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, may not be able to deal with Yuan Huizong and the prince, half of the cavalry runs away, I am afraid that the Song army will not be able to catch up, and half of the infantry will probably become the lamb slaughtered by the Song army.

Hao Ren and Wang Baobao are also old acquaintances on the battlefield, and they are in-laws, if they meet, they will fight, it is too inconsistent with the style of the two, not to mention that if they can retreat from the enemy with words, even if it is one in ten thousand hopes, both of them want to give it a try.

In front of the military formation, Hao Ren and Wang Baobao each took two guards and answered before the battle.

Hao Ren's face was relaxed, and he said with a smile: "My good brother-in-law, we finally met again, but I am thinking about the head on your neck day and night, which makes it difficult for people to sleep!" ”

"Humph!" Wang Baobao's face was serious, and the shadow area in his heart was engraved on his face, and he snorted coldly: "My good brother-in-law, I don't know if you washed your neck in advance before you went out today, and I don't know if my saber will dirty when I cut it down!" ”

After all, both of them can be regarded as somewhat educated people, and they are nothing more than happy mouths, not to the point of scolding.

"Huh!" Hao Ren didn't have a verbal dispute with Wang Baobao, and said with a smile: "Uncle brother is so confident that he can defeat my army, I should really be happy, I finally met a decent opponent." But do I see your training methods??? I'm afraid it's a lot worse than my uncle Richardham! ”

"Good brother-in-law, you are not bad, you are afraid of death, not to mention that you are afraid of death, so you can make yourself a sheepfold and circle yourself. Can you hide in the sheepfold and yell at the wolf? Hum! Wang Baobao snorted coldly.

"It doesn't matter if he's a sheepfold or a bullpen, it's always good to be useful! Uncle, I look at the face of the lady, I have to persuade you well, now I have got half of the country, my uncle and brother have surrendered to me, and it is also my uncle of the Great Song Dynasty, and the wealth and glory are inexhaustible, why bother for the 'little iron pot' (Yuan Huizong's name is Tuhuan Timur, the meaning of the small iron pot) father and son, do not get involved in the family, so we are relatives! Hao Ren said.

"You, a traitor of the court, don't know what means you used to deceive my sister, and make the country bury half of the country, this is the hatred of the country and the family, my king protects the sky and the earth, how can you be with the jackal!" Wang Baobao said.

"I am in love with Mengchen, I treat him very well, and she gave birth to a pair of children for me, how can I lie? How can the people under my rule be called thieves if all beings are equal and live a stable and peaceful life? I think you are a defender of the exploiting class, regardless of good or evil! Hao Ren retorted.

Exploitation, class, defender such words, Wang Baobao obviously will not have heard of such words, anyway, he knows, these words came out of Hao Ren's mouth, it must be a curse, he looked back at his military formation, it was already completed, and he didn't want to have a verbal dispute with Hao Ren: "Then let's use the saber to speak!" ”

Hao Ren had long expected that Wang Baobao would not surrender, but he just said a few cruel words to each other in front of the military formation, and when he looked at Wang Baobao's back, Hao Ren still felt very lost.

Hao Ren did not forget to remind him of 'kindness': "My good uncle, prepare a few more good horses by your side, ready to run away at any time, my cavalry will definitely chase you to the ends of the earth, and I will not be willing if your head is not placed in front of me." ”
