The night was falling, and a few stars hung in the dark sky.
However, although it has entered the night, Tangjiawan is still full of bonfires, and there are countless torches to illuminate this place as bright as day.
On the high slope on the left, Liu Jun was accompanying Mei Zhihuan and Qin Liangyu to condescendingly, looking at the construction site below, everyone's faces were full of excitement.
The valley with its slopes had been burned to the ground, and the ground was black, and the trees and grass had been cleared. In this cleared open area, more than 20,000 people are holding shovels, axes and other tools to hurry up to repair the fortifications.
At the foot of this low ridge is the artillery position, and the main artillery fire will be concentrated on this side. The thousand-pace-wide opening in the middle will be a frontal defensive position, the position of the infantry of the Chu army and the white pole soldiers of the stone pillars, and the slope of the hill with a very low slope on the right flank is stationed the cavalry troops of less than 2,000 people of the two armies, as well as the baggage battalion of the nine-headed bird.
The bandits' ranger sentinels had appeared, but their large force was still dozens of miles away, and the officers and soldiers were shouting loudly, driving the thick wooden stakes into the mud, and the soldiers behind them were sharpening the end that was diagonally exposed on it with knives.
As time passed, a makeshift fortification was taking shape, with a wall of long pointed piles in front, a row of pointed wooden piles driven into the ground pointing diagonally ahead, a number of short pointed piles that were below the knee, and a row of horse-repellent walls behind it.
The time was too short to build a more stable wooden fence. and barracks and deep trenches, but this hastily repaired fortification was enough to make the bandits desperate.
"The thief still has thirty miles!" Feng Sheng's night was not closed, and every once in a while, he would rush back to report the latest enemy situation. Others who did not harvest at night had already begun to engage in the chase of bandits' horses in the valley not far before the fortifications.
"You nine-headed bird battalions are like this when you fight, and you build a camp wherever you go?" Qin Liangyu looked at the rapidly erected defensive belt and asked Liu Jun with interest.
"Judge the situation, adapt to local conditions, and if necessary, don't mind sweating a little more." Liu Jun replied. The Hydra is not a traditional unit, it is a new one, dominated by firearms. Therefore, the core of the Hydra's tactics also revolves around firearms. Protecting the firearms unit as much as possible, allowing the firearms unit to shoot longer and output more damage has also become the core of the Hydra's tactics. Therefore, the ultimate purpose of the baggage battalion's vehicle formation, as well as the trenches and horse rejection fortifications, is to provide a better environment for the firearms troops to be exported.
No one stipulates that in the field, they must charge each other and tear each other apart. Even if the tactics of the nine-headed bird look a little like a turtle stream, Liu Jun only chose the right one.
Time is still too short, otherwise we could have built a strong camp. Just like a city, in this way, they will be invincible.
"Thirty miles, it looks like we have to fight at night tonight!" Mei Zhihuan was helped by the white pole soldiers. Now it's full of confidence.
"What if the bandits turn around and run away?"
"Dachang City is now in the hands of the Qin army, He Renlong Li Guoqi is stationed in Dachang City, and the Yang Pavilion Department will inevitably arrive soon, this time we have successfully blocked the bandits in this mountainous area. They can't escape, unless Cao Cao leaves these tens of thousands of horses and flees over the mountains alone. ”
About two hours after nightfall. Bursts of footsteps sounded in the distance.
The bandits finally arrived.
Cao Cao Luo Rucai rode a black horse, stood on the hillside and looked at the camp in front of him, which was as bright as day, and under the light of the fire, there were rows of rejecting horses and sharp stakes, and then countless officers and soldiers.
Behind the rejection of the horse, on a flagpole several feet high, a large flag is hanging and flying in the wind, although it is dark and the words on the flag are not clear, but Cao Cao already knows who the team in front of him is.
Mei Zhihuan, the prime minister of the six provinces to suppress bandits, and Liu Jun, the general who captured the eight kings in the mud ditch, and those holding white spears were Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers.
Cao Cao's face was gloomy and his mood was heavy. He already knew that during the battle of Muddy Valley, the officers and soldiers did not kill Huang Hu when they retreated, and Huang Hu was still rushing to kill at that time, and Zhang Xianzhong was finally captured after they withdrew their troops. And He Renlong of Dachang City has never sent troops to the muddy ditch.
Getting such a result, Cao Cao regretted it a lot, he knew that this was the case, at that time, if they held on a little longer, they would be able to break the interception of the official army, rescue the Yellow Tiger, and even maybe they could defeat the Chu soldiers in one fell swoop, and even capture Mei Zhihuan, Liu Jun and others.
Just because they didn't insist at the time, now they have fallen into a more passive position. Mei Zhihuan actually arrived here faster than them, and also repaired the fortifications here, and even worse, he was reinforced by Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers.
And in his rear, in Dachang City, Yang Sichang had already arrived with several large troops of Yu, Chu, Qin and the Beijing army.
There are interceptions in front, and there are pursuers in the back, and they have no way out.
At this moment, just like the flooded land crossing in Shanxi in the sixth year of Chongzhen, and the carriage gorge in Hanzhong, Shaanxi in the seventh year of Chongzhen, the righteous army was surrounded by officials and troops and was in a desperate situation.
The two righteous armies were almost wiped out, especially the one in Shanxi in the sixth year of Chongzhen, when the leader of the 36th battalion alliance, Zijin Liang Wang, died of illness by himself, and the battalions were when the army's heart was shaken, and dozens of battalions of the righteous army were trapped in Shanxi by the officials and soldiers of all walks of life for a while, and they were about to be exterminated.
In the seventh year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng and other more than 40,000 righteous soldiers were trapped in the carriage gorge, when the desperate situation, Li Zicheng surrendered to Chen Qiyu, the governor of the five provinces, Chen Qiyu believed, and then sent people into the canyon to collect the righteous army, every 100 people formed a team, each team sent a pacification officer, escorted them back to their hometowns and returned to the farm. As soon as they walked out of the South Stack, 40,000 peasants worked together, killed the pacification officer, and raised the banner of righteousness again.
Except for those two times, when Chongzhen was eleven years old. Cao Cao and Zhang Xianzhong and other rebels were defeated by the officers and soldiers, and at that time, they also asked the court to surrender and got the opportunity to rest for more than half a year.
"Maybe we should ask the officers and soldiers to surrender!" Cao Cao said to the rebel generals of the battalions around him.
"We raise the banner of righteousness again this time, Emperor Chongzhen is about to vomit blood when he hears that he is angry, and he has also offered many heavy rewards, it is definitely not good to deceive again." A zhang Qingdao.
Xiao Qin Wang Bai Gui sighed, "This time it is Yang Sichang and Mei Zhihuan who are presiding over the encirclement and suppression, these two people are more ruthless than the other, if we ask for surrender, I am afraid that they will be killed by them." ”
"So far. There's no other way, let's fight with them, it's good to kill the fortune telling, if you can't kill it, then pull a few pads. The whole 100,000 Black Yunxiang gritted his teeth and said.
"Why don't you break out." Zhang Xianzhong's White Horse Deng Tianwang whispered, facing the Chu army that had defeated them in the muddy ditch, he really didn't have any confidence.
The thieves were silent for a while, and if they dispersed and broke through, they could only be reduced to zero. But such a breakthrough, even if it is prominent, then almost all the men and horses of the battalions are scattered.
"Maybe let's turn around and go back to Shaanxi." Compared with the Chu army that had just defeated them one after another, there were also the world-famous white pole soldiers. They felt that it seemed that Yang Sichang, who had been played by them for a while, was easier to deal with.
"Although Mei Zhihuan's Chu army has won successive battles, they must be tired and sleepy now, even if there are reinforcements from the white pole soldiers, there are not many soldiers and horses. I think let's fight, as long as we can rush through, then we will leave all the officers and soldiers behind. And Yang Sichang guarded Dachang City. There are many soldiers and horses, and there have been no battle losses, which is really unfavorable to him. ”
"Then hit the fuck, don't talk nonsense." The thieves will see that there is no way out, and they will also become fierce.
Officer-military positions.
A thief rode up with a white flag and delivered a letter.
"Prime Minister, Cao Cao led the thieves to surrender."
Mei Zhihuan took the letter and read it, "This prime minister very much welcomes them to be able to get lost, and I accept their invitation to surrender." But there are also conditions, as long as they immediately lay down their swords and soldiers after half an hour, and the detachment comes to surrender, then I will accept it. ”
"The thief wants to surrender." Liu Jun smiled, "But if they are really willing to put down their swords, it will be easier." ”
"They're not going to lay down their swords." Mei Zhihuan said.
In front of the thief army, after Cao Cao Luo Ru got Mei Zhihuan's reply, he gave the order to attack with a gloomy face, he knew that Mei Zhihuan could not be deceived.
If you don't fight, no one is willing to really surrender.
In the darkness of the night, the trumpets whined and the war drums thundered.
Eventually, the Great War was inevitable.
Everything in this battle went as Liu Jun and the others expected, in the preset battlefield of the Chu army, in the planned area of the Chu army.
Although it was a field battle, the officers and men had fortifications to rely on, and they only needed to respond to all changes with the same and stand behind the fortifications to meet the battle.
Cao Cao sent a large number of elite bandits in front, they held shields, and even reinforced the carriages originally used to carry grain, grass and booty with many wooden planks, converted them into simple shield carts, and then pushed them to guard in front.
Behind these shield walls, there are more bandits.
Tens of thousands of bandits know that they have no way to retreat, either rush over or die here.
Liu Jun, who was standing in the high-slope artillery array on the left side of the formation, watched the bandits approaching step by step, but he just shook his head and sneered again and again, showing disdain. After experiencing the battle of the muddy ditch, don't these bandits know that they can't break through the position of the nine-headed bird by relying on ordinary crowd tactics?
When they rush up like this, they are just sending them to their deaths.
Liu Jun shook his head again, driving away the little bit of intolerance in his mind, war is so cruel, either you die or I die, and there is no room for mercy.
"Artillery preparation!" Liu Jun gave an order to the herald beside him. (To be continued......)
