Chapter 504: The Battle of Anyi
"Knock knock knock ......" war drums beat.
"Woo woo woo ......" horn sounded for a long time.
With the banner unfurled, the war horses galloping, Guo Tai's 50,000 army with their backs against Lianshui, facing south, began to unfold the formation.
He set up a crane wing formation with two wings flying together, with foot soldiers in the center and cavalry on both wings. The 5,000 reinforcements of the Xiongnu were on the right flank, and Guo Taijun's own cavalry was on the left flank.
In the center of the Chinese army's array, dozens of carriages were put together, covered with thick wooden planks, and became the command platform of the Chinese army.
The weather is nice today, the wind is beautiful, the sky is clear, and the blue sky is like a huge sapphire. A few days ago, there was a spring rain, and the air after the rain was exceptionally fresh, and the river breeze blew gently, bringing a warm and smoky feeling to everyone.
Daxu is flying in the air, hunting sounds, and the momentum is magnificent.
Guo Tai looked around, and saw that the army was neat, the array was tight, and the morale of the soldiers was high, and he could feel the cold murderous aura without mobilization. He bowed slightly, his frowning brow gradually stretched, and a proud smile slowly appeared on his cold face.
"It's a good weather!" He whispered to himself.
The situation is very weird, but this kind of thing is a war, after all, it still depends on strength, this is a plain by the river, not a continuous mountain and dense forest, even if that Xu Shu really has an extraordinary collar, he can't play too many tricks.
He has an army of 50,000 here, can he still dig a pit and bury it? If he can't, why should he win himself? The 40,000 Baibo on the opposite side were not better equipped than their own soldiers, and they did not have more combat experience than themselves, but they had repeatedly fought vicious battles, which had a great impact on physical strength and morale. As long as you fight hard and don't care about the losses, the victory will still be your own after all.
As for why Li Dao came, he didn't have to worry about him. Anyway, the scouts reported that within fifty miles of the battlefield, there must be no other troops of the Xiliang Army, so there was no need to worry about being halfway through the battle and suddenly being copied by the enemy.
In this way, the problem is simple, it is nothing more than to allocate some energy to deal with Li Dao.
The generals under his command gathered one after another.
If there is no unexpected factor of Li Dao. The pre-war arrangement should have been enough, and now that there is more Li Dao, it is not a big deal.
"Everybody's seen it, right? It's not that Lao Tzu is unkind, but that Anyi's gang is really not authentic! At the beginning, we also sent troops south. But what did they do to us? Keep us out! I closed the door and enjoyed this anointed land to myself, only occasionally sending some corn that was not enough to stuff my teeth! ”
Mrs. Guo's pre-war declaration was full of resentment, but it was a bit bittersweet and sweet.
Later, they fought with the Xiliang people, and Lao Tzu read in the Baibo vein and offered to help. As a result, kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs again, and those guys actually regarded us as fighting the autumn wind! Send us away with some corn? Thanks to Han Xian and Yang Feng, the two self-proclaimed smart guys can do it! ”
He raised his hand and pointed to Anyi City, where an outline could be vaguely seen in the distance, and his voice was full of resentment: "They say that Lao Tzu colluded with the Huns. then hung Qing'er at the head of the city, and said that he would take Lao Tzu's head to build a Jingguan, but he hooked up with Dong Zhuo, a national thief! It was their unfaithfulness and unrighteousness that came first, today. We are the ones who are ordered by heaven, and we are the ones who hang the people! ”
"Hit!"
"Hit hard!"
"it!"
White waves split up. Most of the people who followed Mrs. Guo were bandits who had accumulated years; Those who follow Han Xian are more willing to live in peace and are more enthusiastic about farming. The former is belligerent and impulsive, and is used to thinking only from his own point of view, narrow-minded and extreme, and was stimulated by Mrs. Guo's words, screaming one by one, full of murderous spirit.
"Now there is only one problem, how to fight!" Mrs. Guo was very satisfied with the current situation, he waved his hand in high spirits, and said loudly: "The two enemy armies on the opposite side are both enemies, and they both want to defeat us, but we can't attack on both sides together, we have to drag one and fight the other!" Who do you say, who will you drag and beat? ”
Without waiting for everyone to answer, he waved his hand downward: "Remember, our target is the Anyi rebels!" As long as the rebels were defeated, the Xiliang people were isolated and could only retreat in a hurry, turning from tigers to wild dogs, and grabbing food from other places. When we have gathered the defeated army, it will not be too late to deal with them! ”
The generals bowed down to the order and were convinced.
"Order, let the Hun cavalry on the left flank concentrate on dealing with the Xiliang people, ignore the main battlefield, the others, launch a full launch, and attack with all your might!"
"Oh!"
The banner was unfurled, and the army moved forward slowly.
……
"General Yuanzhi, Boss Guo doesn't seem to be affected, he still has to fight with all his might." Seeing the movement of the enemy formation from a distance, Han Xian frowned and worried in his heart.
Xu Shu's eloquence is good and his appeal is strong, but Han Xian is a naturally pessimistic person who likes to think about the bad in everything. If you don't be a leader, this kind of personality is not necessarily a bad thing, and a thoughtful staff member, even if he is not good at giving advice, can also play a role in picking up the gaps. But as a leader, it's a disaster.
Han Xian's decision-making has always tended to be conservative, and Xu Shu's manipulation of the situation in Hedong is beyond the scope of his understanding. Seeing that Xu Shu had been using stratagems, but he had not taken any measures against the frontal battle situation, Han Xian was very skeptical, was this young man not good at this at all?
Xu Shu replied with a smile: "You just want him to fight with all his strength, procrastinating, aren't you afraid of long nights and dreams?" ”
"But......" Of course, Xu Shu is not without any arrangement, but...... Han Xian subconsciously looked at Anyi City behind him, can this arrangement really work? He really didn't know the bottom in his heart, even if Xu Shu pulled over the hundreds of people in the Dongshan ambush, it was more reliable than now.
"Okay, don't say more, generals, please return to your positions and face the battle." Xu Shu didn't want to spend more time with him, anyway, it was all for nothing, why bother with all this effort?
As for his real plan, it must not be said in advance, the upper echelons of the two white waves are like a sieve, one by one, they are all related to each other, and they are not connected at all, and there is no way to block the information at all. Even if you tell Han Xian now, you can't guarantee whether Mrs. Guo will receive the news later.
If he hadn't been fully sure, how could he have provoked this great war?
"General Han, everyone, remember, after the start of the war, you must act in full accordance with the general's orders and focus on the overall situation! Remember, remember! Thinking about it, he solemnly told Bai Bo again, and then sent everyone away.
Having sent the generals away, he straightened up on his horse, squinting at the enemy formation. This is the second time he has commanded a large-scale battle, and the victory or defeat aside, the atmosphere of this battlefield must be well felt.
Even in the troubled times, how many times can you really have the opportunity to strategize in a big war of this scale in your lifetime?
He took a long breath, then spit it out violently, turning into one of the most violent notes: "Drumming!" Against! ”
"Boom! Boom! The well-trained drummers struck a calm syllable, which stabilized the morale of the soldiers who had been shaken by the overwhelming rush of the enemy. Under the command of the officers, the huge phalanx of 40,000 soldiers in Anyi Baibo also began to move.
Immediately, the Huns and Li Dao all started to act in unison, raising their swords to meet the unfamiliar opponent. This is war, and once involved, no one should be left alone.
The drums and trumpets of the two armies are sounding, but the rhythm is completely different, and the direct result is that Guo Taijun's momentum is more violent, the banner is dancing violently, and the momentum is fierce, like a group of vicious wolves with teeth and claws!
On the other hand, the Anyi army seemed a little tepid, the drummers beat the war drums unhurriedly, and the soldiers stepped on the drums, advancing more than twice as slowly as Guo Taijun. Such a rhythm, no matter how you look at it, seems to be a little timid.
"Hahahaha, after all, you're still weak-hearted, right? Lao Tzu has a lot of soldiers, and there are 7,000 cavalry, how can he be able to stop it with those less than 40,000 remnants of the defeated generals? Qingzhou Xu Shu, but so, he thinks he is Tiandan Leyi, but in fact he is just a Zhao Kuo who talks on paper! Ha ha! ”
Guo was so happy.
Although he shouted loudly in front of him, in fact, he was still very jealous of Xu Shu's opponent. Especially after the Battle of Dongshan, he also deliberately asked someone to go to Hongnong and Chang'an to inquire about the opponent's situation, and when he inquired, he was directly shocked: This young man is simply Wang Pengju's second!
In the face of such an opponent, it is impossible not to be nervous, Mrs. Guo is very worried that the opponent will use some strange tricks on the battlefield, and he will not be able to deal with it. But looking at it now, the opponent is obviously used to Qingzhou's strong pawns, and he commands the rabble of Baibo, and he doesn't take advantage of it at all.
Most of the Yellow Turbans were poor, they couldn't afford to wear iron armor, and they couldn't afford to buy bows and arrows. In one go, it slaps on the enemy's array like a huge wave, and if it cracks, it wins, and if it doesn't move, it loses, and it is the same for whoever takes command.
And with the momentum, doesn't the impact depend on the speed of the charge? Can't even raise the speed, and still expect to win the battle? Isn't that a joke?
"Rush! Come on! Crush them in one go! Mrs. Guo roared wildly, snatched the big silk from the flag-bearer's hand, and waved the flag into a shadow that was difficult to distinguish.
"Kill!" The vanguard was Peng Yu, who wanted to make meritorious atonements, and seeing that he had entered the battle distance of fifty paces, he didn't need to look at the banner, he knew that this was the moment to win or lose. He brandished his sword, his body rushed forward, and he shouted wildly, leading the three thousand sharp pawns of the vanguard, raising the speed of running and sprinting to the limit.
The sound of drums is like thunder, the corners are like electricity, and the footsteps of more than 100,000 people running at the same time are even more earth-shattering! Even the rain of spring thunder a few days ago is difficult to compare with the momentum at this moment.
The two armies were like a rolling torrent, moving slowly in the opposite direction, and in the end, they collided fiercely, covering the sky with smoke and dust, and countless lives were withering!
