Chapter 410: The Battle of Ankang (I)

Wang Wende didn't expect that he would become so chaotic without being under this Li Bi's account for a while, he couldn't react a little, but he still remembered the framing of the generals before, so he said angrily: "Damn, I'll just say that if I didn't take five hundred people to rob the camp, if it weren't for my fate, I would probably have been killed by these villains." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Liu Wenzhou nodded and said: "So you and I should be more cautious and careful in the future." ”

Wang Wende said a little embarrassed: "Doesn't the lord say anything about such a gang?" In this way, how can we achieve sincere unity within ourselves? Liu Wenzhou shook his head and said, "The lord won't care, he may be happy to see such a situation." Wang Wende asked puzzledly: "What do you mean by this?" Liu Wenzhou said with a look of remorse: "I gave him this idea at the beginning." Wang Wende said with a surprised face: "You are confused, how can you lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot?" Liu Wenzhou also said regretfully: "Hey, if I could have thought that it would be the current situation, I would no longer say those nonsense in front of my lord when I was killed." ”

It turned out that after Han Zhaowu joined Li Bi's army, Liu Wenzhou discovered this situation, and later after the occupation of Bashu, the local officials in Chengdu behaved more obviously, but there was a phenomenon that they all rushed to curry favor with Li Bi. That's why Liu Wenzhou told him that he should turn a blind eye to the factions of his subordinates, so that their containment of each other is conducive to Li Bi's dominance.

Now the factional infighting within Li Bi's army is very strong, and there is a tendency to intensify, which has greatly exceeded Liu Wenzhou's expectations, and it is estimated that it will be really dangerous if it continues like this. But for now, he decided to bring Wang Wendra over to his side first, and then he had the strength to deal with those faction leaders. Li Bi was so preoccupied with tomorrow's battle that he stayed up all night, and as soon as it was dawn, he gathered all his generals.

Li Bi asked Liu Wenzhou to start the task of sending various troops according to his own deployment, the vanguard of the main attack was still Wang Wende, Han Zhaowu's Hanzhong Army was used as an auxiliary side response, and Li Bi personally pressed the formation to supervise the battle, this time it was bound to take Ankang and defeat Gao Yue. The army had breakfast early and then set off in turn. Over there, Gao Yue suffered heavy losses because of the previous sneak attack, so he deliberately set up secret posts around Li Bi's camp, and as soon as they sent out spies, they went back to report to Gao Yue, so Gao Yue was also ready to go out of the city to meet the attack.

The two armies set up a formation in a plain area five miles outside Ankang City, on one side is Li Bi's 50,000 army, on the other side is Gao Yue's more than 40,000 army, both sides are eyeing each other, Li Bi let people beat drums to urge Wang Wende to attack, Gao Yue let Shiyan's army go forward to resist, Wang Wende's men are all masters of cavalry warfare, and Shiyan is mainly infantry, the advantages and disadvantages of both sides are obvious.

However, Shiyan's troops were still relatively durable, and they were rushed and killed by Wang Wende several times, but they resisted and did not mean to disperse. Wang Wende was in a hurry to see it in the formation, so he personally put it on and went up to fight. When Shiyan saw him go into battle, he ordered the archers to keep shooting at the Chinese army. But after all, the infantry couldn't beat the cavalry, the archers' formation had not yet stood firm, and a large number of infantry in front had been beaten down, and they retreated in a mess and scattered the archers who had just set up the formation. "Quite a prancing horse.

The order flag in Shi Yan's hand was useless at all, and he realized that it was the right choice for him not to start a war with Gao Huan's northern rangers, and even the second-rate cavalry led by an unknown general like Wang Wende could beat his proud Lingnan infantry to pieces. But what's the use of talking about this now, Wang Wende's troops are ferociously chasing his elite division at the moment, and his troops will be wiped out after killing like this, so he quickly ordered to retreat and join the main force of the Chinese army behind Gao Yue.

Gao Yue saw that Shiyan's troops in front had been defeated, and hurriedly ordered the cavalry on both wings to come forward to help, and asked Qian Miao's troops to go up to help resist Wang Wende's attack, Qian Miao had already hated Wang Wende so much that his teeth itched, although the last attack on the camp caused him huge losses, but at this moment he still had five or six thousand cavalry mixed troops under his hands. So he shouted and led his troops to rush up and fight Wang Wende's troops.

As soon as Shi Yan saw that the fresh troops in the rear came up to support, coupled with the cavalry on both flanks, it was obvious that Wang Wende's troops' offensive momentum was slowed down and fell into a situation of fighting each other. At this moment, Han Zhaowu should actually attack, but he didn't plan to help Wang Wende, but planned to bypass the main battlefield of the Chinese army from the flank and sneak attack Gao Yue's main force from behind, so that the first credit for defeating Gao Yue would be his own.

He had a good idea, so he ordered his Hanzhong troops to start attacking. Wang Wende has been surrounded and plunged into a bitter battle, and at this time he urgently needs the support of the rear troops, because if he continues to fight like this, the situation will become one-sided and suppressed until he is defeated, which he does not want to see. He was still looking back at the main position in his rear to see if there were reinforcements coming, and when he saw Han Zhaowu's troops start to act, he kindled his hope for victory again, but the subsequent actions of Han Zhaowu made him desperate again, and people did not come to help at all, but planned to snatch credit nakedly.

Liu Wenzhou, who was in the main position, looked very nervous, and Li Bi also asked very curiously, "Is this Han Zhaowu going to do it?" Liu Wenzhou looked at it and said: "It seems that he plans to bypass the money and put it in the position and go straight to the main force of the enemy army in the rear." Li Bi was a little angry and said: "He is greedy for merit, with the number and tactics of his Hanzhong troops, how can he defeat Gao Yue's main force?" ”

Sure enough, Gao Yue saw Han Zhaowu's troops slipping over from the flank, so he ordered his elite troops to start attacking them, Han Zhaowu commanded the troops all the way to Gao Yue's Chinese position, and only to find that Gao Yue's elite cavalry had caught up, and the most exaggerated thing was that he even had pikemen, a unit that specializes in restraining cavalry. These pikemen held three-meter-long bamboo poles topped by sharp spear blades. Because bamboo poles can be found everywhere in Jiangnan, and the unique toughness of bamboo poles is not as easy to break as beech wood, it is difficult to cut with a knife, and as soon as a long row of bamboo spears fell forward, Han Zhaowu's troops fell off their horses one after another.

Then Gao Yue's elite cavalry leaned forward and trampled on his men and horses. Han Zhaowu's troops were originally negligent in training, and he originally thought that he could crush the opponent casually when he encountered Gao Yue's group of miscellaneous troops, but he didn't expect Gao Yue's main force to be so capable of fighting in battle, and he was a little careless. But now it's too late to say this, he can only fight hard, and if he retreats at this time, he will definitely be punished by Li Bi, who is thunderous, and he only blames himself for taking the enemy lightly and greedily.

Now Li Bi and Gao Yue are fighting on two fronts, but the situation is slowly falling to Gao Yue's side, because Wang Wende's troops have almost been killed, Qian Miao and Shiyan, with a small number of cavalry on the flanks, are gathering at this moment to plan to directly kill Li Bi's main force of the Chinese army. Liu Wenzhou hurriedly said to Li Bi: "My lord, let's quickly set up a formation to prevent the enemy from attacking head-on." Li Bi nodded and said, "Pass me down and set up the formation!"
