The time has passed, and the more than 30,000 Baibo army foot cavalry occupying the entire ferry terminal still have not completed the battle array arrangement, while the tens of thousands of foot cavalry of the Qingzhou army, which spans five miles two miles to the south, have already been in strict formation, and tens of thousands of sabers and guns are like forests, hunting with flags, which is magnificent.

The sound of gongs and drums of the two armies passing orders was endless, and the scouts and heralds of both sides galloped back and forth in front of the formation, and the birds within a radius of ten miles were extinct, and the wind gusted, and the heaven and earth were filled with more and more murderous aura.

With the continuous accumulation of troops, the strength of the two sides was gradually revealed, the strength of the Qingzhou Army continued to increase, and the scouts on both sides intensified before the battle.

As the intelligence continued to spread to the rear of the White Wave Army, the Qingzhou Army suddenly showed a huge advantage in strength and sophisticated equipment far exceeding the White Wave Army several times, which shocked the White Wave Army.

Coach Han Xian hurriedly climbed onto the high general platform temporarily constructed in the rear of the formation, ignoring the nervous arguments and exclamations of the surrounding generals and colonies, and put his hands on the pergola, staring at the Qingzhou army array that had undergone great changes two miles to the south.

Half a moment later, Han Xian, who had a dark face, took a deep breath, turned to Hu Cai, who was full of worry beside him, and sighed in a low voice: "The Qingzhou Army really lives up to its reputation!" If my estimation is correct, Shaancheng is likely to have been broken by the Qingzhou army...... Alas, now Li Le and thousands of brothers are afraid that there will be more and less luck, and this battle is dangerous! ”

Hu Cai's hanging heart sank suddenly, his tall body shook slightly twice before he regained his composure, and responded in a low voice with a bitter face: "What the marshal said is what his subordinates are most worried about, otherwise we can't explain the Qingzhou army we are facing at this moment." Why did it suddenly increase to 50,000 people? No less than 5,000 elite cavalry appeared on both sides of its formation......"

"Marshal, please look at the west. The two large mounds close to the left flank of the Qingzhou Army have been firmly occupied by it, and nearly 10,000 people below are still digging trenches, setting up deer barricades and horse rejection piles, dense and endless, judging from the banners and formations, the layers of staggered arrangements are likely to be the strongest crossbowmen of the Qingzhou Army, the number is by no means less than 3,000 people. ”

Han Xian watched for a moment, and his already solemn mood became heavier: "A radius of ten miles is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The whole battlefield is wide in the south and narrow in the north, which is extremely unfavorable to our army, and now the Qingzhou archers and crossbowmen occupy those two large mounds, firmly blocking the offensive on the right flank of our army, and the battlefield has become narrower, not only curbing the cavalry advantage of our army, but also firmly blocking the passage of our army to break through to the west......"

"Alas! Now I can see that the Qingzhou Army, which is waiting for work, has the heart of a decisive battle, and wants to fight with us endlessly! ”

Hu Cai had already retreated, and was silent for a moment when he heard the words. Lowered his voice and pleaded: "Dashuai, do you want to ...... The subordinates immediately went to the dock behind the battle. Gather as many ships as you can and prepare for retreat? As long as the dispatch is done properly, most of the elite can still calmly retreat to Hebei...... Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood! ”

When Han Xian heard this, his heart immediately burst with bitterness, he understood what Hu Cai meant by "most of the elite", not most of the nearly 40,000 horses, but the more than 4,000 cavalry of 100 battles directly under him, the commander of the whole army, and the 8,000 elite infantry soldiers with the most well-equipped under the command of Deputy Marshal Hu Cai, and the rest of the generals and more than 20,000 horses under his command were undoubtedly given up by Hu Cai, who had made up his mind to survive with broken arms.

But now, the situation of the enemy and us has changed dramatically, and the White Polish Army, which is inferior in strength and has lost its geographical advantage, has no chance of winning.

Han Xian clearly knew that even if he fought to the death, the final outcome was likely to be the death of the entire army. But retreating and fleeing north in a hurry without a fight will definitely attract tens of thousands of Qingzhou troops to chase and kill, and I am afraid that there will be no one who escapes in the end.

Han Xian, whose eyebrows were furrowed and his expression was solemn, fell into a long hesitation, although Hu Cai was anxious, but at this juncture, he could only close his mouth and wait patiently.

The group of Baibo army generals around the two of them did not know that they were already at a critical juncture of life and death, and they were still pointing at the Qingzhou army array in twos and threes, fiercely discussing and weighing the pros and cons.

######

On the mound behind the side of the Qingzhou Army array, the battle flag was unfurled, hunting in the wind.

Qingzhou Army Commander Liu Cun, Joining the Army Cui Yan, Senior General Guan Hai and Deputy General Liu Bi and other generals and colonels talked and laughed, and more than a dozen young soldiers behind them made judgments based on the information that was constantly delivered.

An hour earlier, Xu Sheng, the chief general and Wei Yan, the lieutenant general who had led their troops to Heyangdu in the west, had sent an urgent report, and they had received the assistance of Yang Feng's troops, and the number of ships they had prepared had increased by one-third compared with the estimate, and 10,000 cavalry had crossed the river in batches as planned.

On the high erection of Diao Dou in front of the hill side, a young soldier quickly put away the monocular clairvoyance made of brass and crystal, turned to Liu Cun and the others below, and announced loudly:

"There was an abnormal movement at the enemy's dock, and the thousands of enemy troops who had been resting on the shore suddenly became busy, and more than 20 large ships moored in the outer waters were slowly approaching the dock!"

"Not good! Han Xian wants to escape! ”

Cui Yan, who was quick to react, spoke out loud about his judgment.

The generals suddenly became nervous, Liu Cun and Guan Hai immediately turned around, took the monocular clairvoyance sent by the guards, and observed nervously, but found that the Baibo Army in front of them, which was two miles wide, took the lead, and the three huge phalanxes composed of more than 20,000 foot soldiers began to press forward slowly, and the originally low and slow sound of war drums gradually became high-pitched.

After a while, Liu Cun showed a reassuring smile: "General Guan Hai, please here, I will return to the city to appease the people, otherwise, the angels who stayed in the city and waited for the news may be scolding the mother, haha!" ”

Everyone was taken aback, and Guan Hai, who had never thought of obtaining the command of this battle, hurriedly clenched his fists and begged with apprehension: "The lord must not!" His subordinates were not able to command a battle of 90,000 men on both sides of the war...... If there is something good, I am not only sorry for the lord, but also sorry for the more than 50,000 brothers in our army! ”

Liu Cun put away his smile, took a step forward, held Guan Hai's hand tightly, stared at Guan Hai's eyes, and said with great sincerity:

"Among the generals of our army, no one has ever commanded the battle of nearly 100,000 people in front of him, but you Guan Hai have had this kind of experience......

"Think about it, there were more than 100,000 Yellow Turban soldiers who trusted you, respected you, and followed you to fight in all directions without hesitation? Didn't you also make a name for yourself and make a name for yourself? ”

"Don't doubt yourself, I believe that you Guan Hai definitely have this ability...... Remember! This is just the beginning, and there will be more and more of these things in the future, well, I'm waiting for your good news! ”

After Liu Cun finished speaking, he patted Guan Hai's slightly trembling arm, and without hesitation, he strode down the mound, surrounded by the guards, turned over his horse, and galloped south.
