Chapter Seventy-Four: Famous Generals VS Young Generals

After Bailikang left the city at the east gate, he thought that Fuzhou was closer to Hongzhou, and the Zhaowu army was likely to be approaching Hongzhou, and it was possible to encounter it directly when he went to ambush, so he chose the Fenghua army in the north as the target.

Jiangzhou is far away from Hongzhou, and it is necessary to cross the Ganshui River to enter Hongzhou City.

So, Bailikang decided to ambush by the Ganshui to block the attack.

If Li Jianxun directly attacked the city, with 20,000 against 5,000, it was very likely to force Bailikang to give up the ambush and return to Hongzhou.

Although Bai Likang did not leave a contact information for Ding Sijing, Bai Likang is not stupid, there are cavalry, and if the battle situation changes, he will naturally take the initiative to contact Ding Sijin.

But Li Jianxun chose to wait for orders and contact the Fenghua army, which gave Bailikang enough time to bloodied the Fenghua army.

Before the time passed, the Fenghua army, which had just crossed the river after half a day, was busy assembling the whole team.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves like thunder was heard.

There was not even the slightest time for hesitation.

Brigade cavalry has already appeared in sight.

The ending can be imagined.

The battle lasted less than half an hour.

In this battle, the 5,000 cavalry drove the 20,000 Fenghua troops who had just come ashore down the river.

There were not many dead in this battle, and the corpses and wounded on the shore were only more than 1,000.

There were no more than 2,000 prisoners.

And there are countless floating on the river.

……。

When the news of the annihilation of the Fenghua army was brought back by the scouts, Li Jianxun no longer dared to attack Jiangzhou City.

His only order was to retreat thirty miles and form a formation.

Set up horses and fences to prevent the cavalry of the Chu army from attacking.

Since then, the attacker has become the defender.

The defenders, on the other hand, were waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from Zhou Xingfeng.

Bai Likang escorted more than 2,000 Fenghua prisoners back to Hongzhou City, and Ding Sijin led the soldiers to hold a warm welcome ceremony, but this could not offset Bai Likang's disgust with him.

In Bai Likang's cold snort, Ding Sijin realized how afraid he would be of this Shangguan who was more than ten years younger than himself.

……。

The tide of battle has become rotten.

The Southern Tang court could not accept this fact, but it had to accept it.

Their only hope at this time was that they hoped that the 30,000-strong army led by Liu Rengan, the famous general of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Wuchang Jiedu, would be victorious, and that they would be able to make a modest contribution to the Southern Tang Dynasty to end this erroneous war with dignity.

Yes, the Southern Tang monarchs no longer expected victory, but simply wanted to end it deciminably.

The annihilation of a total of 50,000 troops in Zhennan and Fenghua has made the Southern Tang monarchs despair, although the Southern Tang Dynasty will not collapse, but in terms of the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty's longitudinal strip, it is already very dangerous.

The envoys of Ningguo, Zhaowu and Baisheng were originally set up to defend the eastern Fujian and Wuyue.

If the Zhaowu army has any more advantages and shortcomings, then the consequences that the Southern Tang Dynasty will have to suffer are unimaginable.

The Southern Tang monarchs now only want to stop the war and return to the pre-war period.

But Chu State would not agree, so the Southern Tang Dynasty monarchs expected Liu Renzhen to help them with this.

……。

March 28.

This battle was a bitter battle, a vicious battle.

The commander of the Jingnan Army of Chu State made Sun Shixu officially enter the ranks of the Black Flag Army with this battle.

The Wuchang Festival of the Southern Tang Dynasty made Liu Renzhen's aura even more shining.

This battle completely interpreted the battle in the era of cold weapons to the fullest.

After Sun Shixu received the order of Baili Wuji to go south to fight against the Southern Tang Army, he quickly assembled the Jingnan Army, which had just been trained for two months, and rushed to the east of Yuezhou to station, waiting for the arrival of the Southern Tang Army.

Its arrangement is decent. The 15,000 Jingnan Army was divided into two divisions, five miles ahead, and two compartments on the left and right were stationed on both sides of the official road.

He led 6,000 Dingnan to be the Chinese army and sat in the official road.

When the scouts reported that they had encountered the Chu army twenty miles away, Liu Renzhen immediately ordered the forward to stop advancing, and brought the rear army up, lined up in three phalanxes with the Chinese army, and marched one phalanx forward to form a triangular formation.

There were six phalanxes, each with 5,000 soldiers.

The forward is the tip, the two phalanxes are the middle army, and the three phalanxes are the rear army.

Such a formation, completely aimed at Sun Shixu's formation, is worthy of being a famous general, which is remarkable.

In this battle, there is not the slightest possibility of shortcuts.

During the day, each had plenty of time to set up a bunch, and there were no reinforcements or surprise troops.

The newborn calf Sun Shixu fought a battle with the 30,000 army of the famous Southern Tang general Liu Renzhen with 21,000 troops.

This battle was a vicious battle, which not only moved the heavens and the earth, but also reflected the ability and command skills of the commanders of both sides to control the army.

After Liu Renzhen waved his hand lightly, the battle began.

The Southern Tang Army moved forward quickly like a large triangle-like formation.

Sun Shixu had already seen the triangular crowd coming, and he knew that this was the enemy's main general's deployment against him.

But Sun Shixu did not change the formation.

Sun Shixu believes that since the formation of the Jingnan Army has been formed, there is no need to change it no matter what formation the enemy is coming from. Changing the formation frequently may lead to the first move, but if you move according to the enemy's formation, your morale will fall.

The head can be broken, and the morale cannot be lost.

Whether you attack or not, whatever formation you attack, I'm here.

So, when the Southern Tang Army approached a place only one mile away from the Jingnan Army.

Sun Shixu moved, and he ordered the Jingnan army on both sides of the official road to start a joint attack.

Flanking the big triangle of the Southern Tang Army.

The attack was first launched by the crossbowmen of the Jingnan Army. After all, the crossbowmen of the Southern Tang Army were on the march, but not for a long time.

For a moment, the arrows flying in the air obscured the sun.

Immediately afterwards, the crossbowmen of the Southern Tang Army also began to shoot.

The soldiers on both sides were not at all flawless at this point to think about how to dodge the arrows.

Rushing forward desperately with arrows, blocking arrows with your flesh.

At this time, whether or not you can survive can only depend on the will of heaven.

In a few breaths, the two armies collided.

Hand-to-hand combat begins.

Liu Renzhen's title of famous general is not false, and he has a strong fighting spirit of the Southern Tang Army under his command, because the soldiers believe that as long as Liu Renzhen is there, victory will definitely belong to them, and they will also live to the bottom and return with honor.

The Jingnan Army is different, the days of being pressed and beaten by the Black Flag Army in the past made them unbearable, but today, they are the same Chu Army as the Black Flag Army, which has improved their spiritual energy, and the commitment made by the King of Chu Baili Wuji has sublimated their spiritual energy.

This is destined to be a fierce battle.

The soldiers on both sides are constantly falling, or dead or wounded, and the wounded are destined to die at this time, not that the soldiers on both sides will have leisure to kill the wounded soldiers who have fallen to the ground, but the wounded soldiers who have fallen to the ground will eventually be trampled to death by the fighting soldiers, whether it is the enemy or their own people, they will never pay attention to the underground at this time. Although it is miserable, it is helpless after all.

The formation of the Southern Tang Army was inherently advantageous to the formation of the Jingnan Army.

Seeing that the tip of the triangle that was flanked was about to break through the flanking attack on both sides, the balance of the battle began to tilt.
