South of Liangfu County, Lu County, here is the plain area in the rolling hills, the general Luo Wei received the news of the Chu army's raid on Jinan Mansion, he was shocked, and immediately led 80,000 troops to the north to rescue, in the first line of Pengcheng County, only more than 20,000 troops were left to confront the Chu army south of the Huai River.

Forced march all the way for four days, this evening, Luo Wei led the army to finally arrive in Liangfu County, and then north through Bocheng County, you can enter Qi County, and at this time, Luo Wei has received the news that the main army of Huangfu Wujin was found fifty miles away.

Luo Wei immediately ordered to camp on the south bank of Zishui, he was a veteran with troops, and he knew that the soldiers were very tired from marching, and they would definitely be defeated if they met the battle in such a state.

At dusk, the soldiers were busy camping and cooking, many soldiers were exhausted, fell asleep on the ground, in the big tent, Luo Wei was worried, although he rushed north, but he still did not have a little certainty to deal with the Chu army, according to the description of the soldiers who fled back, the Chu army has a sharp firearm, which can throw the thunder more than 500 steps away, and the dense explosion makes him very frightened.

He thought of a heavy trebuchet, but the soldier said no, but a tubular weapon, there were twenty such tubular weapons on a three-thousand-stone ship, which brought a lot of pressure to Luo Wei, he didn't know if this new weapon was only available on ships, if it was so, maybe it would be better, if not, then his pressure would be great.

Just when Luo Wei was worried, the drums in the camp suddenly sounded, and the alarm sounded continuously, this was the alarm of the enemy attacking, Luo Wei was taken aback, and hurriedly ran out of the tent, and a soldier came to report: "General, the cavalry of the Chu army is coming!" There are thousands of rides. ”

Luo Wei was stunned for a moment, the Chu people are good at boats, when will another cavalry come, is it the Xiliang cavalry? He didn't have time to think about it, and immediately ordered: "Command the crossbowmen, resist the camp corner!" ”

At this time, the camp of the Qi army has been in chaos, the soldiers who have just fallen asleep have gotten up again, wearing armor and helmets, rushing out of the camp tent with weapons, tens of thousands of crossbowmen squatting on the periphery of the camp, stretching their bows and arrows, nervously watching the Chu army attack, in the hazy night, only the banner is unfurled, the dust covers the sky, and I don't know how many cavalry come to raid.

Although the Chu army was very imposing, but in fact there were only 2,000 cavalry, they rushed to the Qi camp two hundred steps away but turned their horses' heads and rushed to both sides, obviously, they did not want to enter the range of the Qi army's bow and crossbow, but killed to the southeast of the weakly defended camp, where the heavy grain and grass were stored.

The Qi army was shocked, the crossbowmen ran in the camp, the soldiers were also lined up, the camp was in chaos, the grain and grass piles had been ignited by rockets, the horses and livestock were terrified, countless soldiers were rescuing the food, extinguishing the fire, and so the crossbowmen arrived, but the cavalry of the Chu army returned to the northwest, the cavalry arrows rained down, and the hundreds of Qi troops lined up at the gate were all shot to death, and it took more than half an hour for the cavalry of the Chu army to leave.

There were many complaints in the Qi army camp, and the soldiers were exhausted, so tired that they couldn't even eat, and they were sore when they wanted to sleep.

After more than an hour, the camp finally calmed down, the soldiers hastily ate a little food, ready to sleep, even the main general Luo Wei felt exhausted, but at this moment, the golden drum in the camp sounded again, waking up all the soldiers from their dreams.

Luo Wei also knew that this was the Chu army deliberately to disturb, and when the soldiers reported outside the tent, he scolded hatefully: "Order the third army to defend with crossbowmen, and don't pay attention to the rest." ”

The soldier was frightened: "General, there are more than 10,000 cavalry this time!" ”

Luo Wei slammed his hammer to the ground and ordered: "Order the whole army to get up and prepare for battle!" ”

The golden drums sounded loudly, the horns whimpered, and the soldiers who had just fallen asleep were forced to have no choice but to get up again and prepare for battle, and everyone was so tired that their legs cramped, but they had to obey the military orders.

At this time, there was already a battle in the west of the camp, and a cavalry of the Qi army of 2,000 people came out of the camp to meet the battle, and the cavalry of the Chu army was mixed together in the night. This time, the Chu army really dispatched 10,000 cavalry, half of it was to disturb, half of it was serious, if the Qi army was tired and didn't take it seriously, they would attack the camp directly.

The horses are staggered and galloping, but it is difficult to really fight, the cavalry of the Chu army and the cavalry of the Qi army are not much different, and they can't distinguish between the enemy and me in the dark night, and the two sides are separated immediately after a simple conflict, and more than 10,000 cavalry in Chuzhou slowly retreat to the south, stationed their horses two miles away, and form a large impact array.

The Qi army did not dare to sleep anymore, and lined up to prepare for the battle, but the Chu army did not impact, the soldiers all seized the time to rest on the horse, and the two sides confronted each other nervously...... For a whole night, the Chu army sometimes attacked in detachments, sometimes the army pressed up, disturbing the Qi army and unable to rest, at the fourth watch, the Chuzhou cavalry finally withdrew, and at this time, Luo Wei got the news that the main force of the Chu army had crossed Zishui eight miles away and was killing their camp.

There is no time to rest anymore, Luo Wei is helpless, so he has to order to pack up the camp tent and prepare for battle, four days of forced march and a night of harassment, the soldiers are exhausted, and the Chu army is resting in Bocheng County for three days and going south, Luo Wei's heart is full of worry, this battle, the Chu army is almost waiting for work, can he win?

Although he knew in his heart, he couldn't say it directly to the soldiers, he turned around and shouted: "The Chu army is not as strong as us, and it is just as tired, brothers, cheer up!" ”

'Boom! The 80,000 troops of the Qi army, 20,000 cavalry troops, 50,000 infantry, and 10,000 personal soldiers and baggage soldiers lined up in the south of Zishui, the cavalry was the first, the infantry was divided into two large towns on the left and right, the baggage soldiers and personal soldiers were lined up in the rear, and the whole army was commanded by war drums and military flags.

At this time, the sky was already numb, the main force of the Chu army appeared three miles away, and their march was obviously slowed down, the Chu army did not have many cavalry, only 10,000 people, distributed on the southern flank, and in front was 20,000 infantry, 10,000 musketeers were hidden in the middle, and there were still 10,000 infantry in the rear, a total of 50,000 people.

And the sharpest warships of the Chu army did not appear, and the artillery did not appear, Huangfu Wujin personally commanded this battle related to whether it could win the Central Plains, he was located in the middle of the 10,000 infantry in the back row, among the 10,000 infantry, there was a huge mobile wooden platform, the wooden platform was three zhang high, equipped with six large wooden wheels with a diameter of one zhang, pulled forward by three hundred horses, this was the command platform of the Chu army, Huangfu Wujin stood on the high platform, and there were commanding military flags and war drums on the high platform.

The army slowly moved forward, and when it was about three miles away from the opponent's large array, Huangfu Wujin gave an order, "Garrison formation!" ”

Bell 'When!' When!' Ringing, this is an order to stop advancing, 50,000 Chu troops stopped the front army, not all of the 50,000 Chu troops are water troops, of which only 20,000 are water troops, 30,000 are Chu Prefecture soldiers, in order to win this battle, Huangfu Wujin has ordered the 100,000 troops deployed on the Huai River line to march to Pengcheng County, and outflank the Qi army from the south.

The clouds of war hung over the two armies, everyone felt nervous and uneasy, both armies were the same in armor and equipment, but the difference was that the helmets of the Chu army were painted black, and the Qi army was dominated by spearmen, bows and crossbows, sword and shield soldiers and cavalry, while the Chu army did not have a bow and crossbow army, and became 10,000 musketeers, each musketeer was equipped with bayonets, which made the musketeers able to fight whether they were long-range or hand-to-hand combat.

Time is slowly passing, it has been a confrontation for half an hour, Huangfu Wujin is very patient, his army is well rested, physical strength, and more importantly, the longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it is for him, he has received the news that the Jianghuai Chu army has defeated a little Qi army deployed in Pengcheng County, and is rapidly heading north, rushing to join him, and the Qi army is extremely tired, and the long standing and anxiety will make them demoralize greatly because of exhaustion.

Luo Wei also realized this, and the soldiers became more and more irritable after nearly half an hour of standing, but the two armies fought, although the first one to charge had the upper hand, but the loss was greater, mainly because he was injured by the opponent's bow and crossbow, so Luo Wei didn't want to take the initiative to charge, he preferred that the other party would start first.

"General, the other side doesn't seem to have a crossbow army." A general whispered beside him.

Luo Wei shook his head, "Impossible, his bow and crossbow are hidden inside, waiting for us to come out when we charge." ”

Luo Wei is experienced, and he saw through Huangfu Wujin's intentions, he wanted to lure himself to attack first, but there was no way to see through, his army was tired and couldn't afford time, at this moment, a scout rushed over, with a look of panic on his face, he whispered to Luo Wei: "General, news came from Pengcheng County that the 100,000 troops of Chuzhou crossed the Huai River four days ago, defeated our defenders, and are rapidly coming north, and the forward 5,000 Chu troops have arrived in Qufu. ”

Luo Wei was taken aback, Qufu County was only eighty miles to the south, and the march was fast, and he could reach here in one day, no wonder Huangfu Wujin was not in a hurry to meet the battle.

He panicked in his heart, if this news spread, his military spirit would be seriously shaken, and he could no longer afford to fight with the Chu army, so he immediately pointed at his sword and ordered sharply: "The first cavalry army will be killed, and the central infantry will be attacked!" ”

The drums of the attack were loud, and 10,000 cavalry fought bravely to kill the Chu army's position, they avoided the Chu army's cavalry and rushed straight to the Chu army's central infantry position.

Ten thousand horses galloping, momentum like a big wave monstrous, rolling up dust to cover the sky, as if the flat ground sounded rolling muffled thunder, overwhelmingly to the Chu army, the two armies are three miles apart, can be killed in an instant.

Seeing that the Qi army finally couldn't help but attack first, Huangfu Wujin immediately ordered: "Order the musketeers to change positions!" ”

Drum beats' Boom! Boom! The black flag sounded, and 10,000 musketeers came out of the middle, lined up in three rows, a foot apart from each other, and the first row of 3,000 soldiers crouched down and brushed the ground and raised their muskets. The muzzle of the black hole was aimed at the overwhelming 10,000 cavalry.
