Chapter 64: Encounter
Before Yun Yang left, he couldn't help but ask: "Ziqing, if you defeat this one, everything will be fine, if you lose, you will give up all your efforts, is it worth taking such a big risk?" ”
Baili Wuji asked, "Has Brother Yun gambled any money?" ”
"Bet."
"Then you should know that if you want to win other people's money, you have to take some risks yourself."
Baili Wuji smiled and said, "There are many things in life that are like this, and many things are ....... ”
It's midnight.
An Siqian in Chungju Fortress is troubled.
The five thousand Shu troops that had already decided to send were on standby outside the city.
The message from Wanzhou asking for help made him already have a headache.
The more than 1,000 cavalry that he had worked so hard to accumulate disappeared.
It was more painful than killing him.
But the military situation was urgent, and it had to be saved.
So he ordered his command to command Liang Zhengxiong to lead 5,000 elite Shu troops to Wanzhou to rescue.
But just when the 5,000 Shu army was ready to go, dozens of defeated troops came to report.
It is said that the city of Wanzhou has fallen.
What the hell is this?
It's only been a long time.
Isn't it said that the Black Flag Guards are only four or five thousand people?
Three thousand defenders are three thousand sheep, and they must not be killed for a few hours.
What about the explosion in the mouth of the rout?
Should this reinforcement be sent?
In desperation, Liang Zhengxiong and his adopted son Andrew were called to listen to their opinions.
After listening to the briefing.
Commander Liang Zhengxiong said: "The commander of the capital thinks that Wanzhou has fallen and the battle ahead is unclear, so scouts should be sent to investigate clearly before deciding whether to send reinforcements." ”
Andrew was not pleased.
Andrew is a straw bag, born as a domestic slave, he changed his name to Andelu after An Siqian's adopted son, and he showed off his might on weekdays, and did a lot of things to oppress the people, but he has a strength, especially good at whiskers and horses, and I think this is the reason why he was adopted as an adopted son by An Siqian. There has been no war in Shu for several years, and this time he went to Nanping with his father-in-law to gild, and set up some military functions to go back and be promoted.
Finally, the father-in-law agreed to make himself the prison soldier and went with Liang Zhengxiong to rescue Wanzhou.
This is a good errand, the rescue is meritorious, and there is no need to fight, and if you come back, you may be promoted.
Now, according to Liang Zhengxiong's meaning, isn't this a waste?
In Andelu's eyes, Gao Laizi's subordinates are nothing more than buns and hillbillies. Maybe even the weapons are too poor to equip, and now that they have attacked Wanzhou, it must be that these bird officials are not doing their best.
Nine times out of ten, they were attacked.
Andrew opened his mouth and reported to An Siqian: "Father-in-law, the child thinks that Wanzhou must be rescued. If you don't rescue Wanzhou in the face of danger, not only will your father-in-law's prestige be damaged, but you will also be impeached by the officials in the future, and you will be blamed by the saints. Besides, there is a messenger soldier of Hou Hongshi who made Hou Hongshi as evidence, if the father-in-law listens to the words of a few defeated soldiers and does not go to the rescue, doesn't this give people a handle? The child thought that these defeated soldiers might be deserters who were afraid of death, and his words were not to be believed. ”
An Siqian's mind was in turmoil, he sat back and watched the fall of Kui and Wanerzhou, he had an army of 10,000 and sat idly by, and he also paid for the 6,000 defenders of Hou Hongshi, who made Hou Hongshi, the envoy of Kui Wanjiedu, which is also a capital crime.
It doesn't matter, horizontal is death, vertical is also death. If Wanzhou had not fallen and had 5,000 reinforcements, the major event would have been decided.
If Wanzhou really falls, it won't work again, Liang Zhengxiong is also a brave general, as long as he doesn't lead the army to attack the city, with 5,000 Shu army elites, he can fight for many people in the Black Flag Guard.
As long as the Black Flag Guard suffered serious battle losses, he could easily regain the lost ground with the 5,000 troops he left.
Thinking of this, An Siqian ordered Liang Zhengxiong and An Delu to rescue Wanzhou according to the original plan, and repeatedly told that if Wanzhou fell, it could not be attacked, and if the Black Flag Guard marched to Zhongzhou on the road, it would be forced to fight in the field.
In An Siqian's view, even if the Black Flag Guard captured Wanzhou, not a single soldier was damaged, and it was also equivalent to the strength of the Shu army, and the field battle, hehe.......
A moment in the making.
Baili Wuji led the Black Flag Guard to leave Wanzhou City.
Heading for Chungju.
At this time, the 5,000 Shu troops who set out from Zhongzhou City had already rushed for several hours.
I'm already a little tired physically and mentally.
The commander Liang Zhengxiong and the prison army An Delu had a dispute at this time.
Liang Zhengxiong believed that the battle ahead was unclear, and the Shu army should slow down and march step by step.
But Andrew disagreed, thinking that saving people was like fighting fire, and he wanted to let the Shu army march in a hurry.
After going back and forth, the two had an argument.
Andrew pointed to his nose and scolded Liang Zhengxiong for being as timid as a rat and not saving him when he saw death.
was so angry that Liang Zhengxiong scolded Andrew for not knowing what to do.
After the most reluctance, Liang Zhengxiong was afraid that An Delu was An Siqian's adopted son, and made concessions.
Ordered the Shu army to step up and rush to Wanzhou.
The Black Flag Guard had only marched thirty miles, and the scouts came back to report, and twenty miles ahead found that most of the Shu army, about 5,000 people, was marching here in a hurry.
Baili Wuji immediately ordered Yu Cunzhong's department and Ma Jiyun's department to go out to each other's horns, and he took Yunyang's department to guard the Chinese army, and the grain and grass team and the military medical team retreated, all five miles apart.
The terrain is flat, and there is nothing to hide.
Hundreds of miles of unscrupulous knowledge, today is a hard battle, a field battle with a considerable number of people, fighting is morale, followed by equipment, command is actually meaningless.
Black Flag Guard, show your strength to the Shu army. Baili Wuji said in his heart.
At the same time that the Black Flag Guard scouts discovered the Shu Army, the Shu Army Scouts also discovered the Black Flag Guard.
Liang Zhengxiong's first reaction when he learned of the report was - it was a good time.
When he set off, An Siqian told himself to fight with the Black Flag Guard, and now he really encountered the Black Flag Guard.
Liang Zhengxiong immediately ordered the sword soldiers in front, the spearmen in the back, and the crossbowmen pressed the formation, and slowly advanced in a decent formation.
Ever since he heard that the Black Flag Guards had descended to Kui and Wanerzhou, causing the 6,000 defenders of Wanzhou to be wiped out, Liang Zhengxiong wanted to compete with the Black Flag Guards.
Liang Zhengxiong was a brave general, and he was promoted to the position of commander by virtue of his military exploits.
Seeing the joy of hunting, maybe it is this kind of character of a natural brave general.
At this time, Andrew actually raised his hands in favor of Liang Zhengxiong's order.
Andrew knew that at this time, the troops were equal, and the victory or defeat was unknown. As a prison soldier, he doesn't have to step forward to fight hard anyway, if he wins, he will naturally have a piece of credit, if he loses, there is Liang Zhengxiong's tall son, what does it matter to me.
May 24 of the third year of Jin Tianfu.
Two quarters in the hour.
The Black Flag Guard, who had been unscrupulous for hundreds of miles, launched a large-scale field battle with the oncoming 5,000 reinforcements of the Shu army thirty miles outside Wanzhou City, which was related to the success or failure of the Western Expedition.
From a distance, I saw the Shu army lining up in a horizontal formation and slowly approaching.
Baili Wuji ordered to change the formation, turning the horizontal formation into a goose walking formation, into a "V" shape. The shield and sword men are on the inside, the spearmen are in the center, the firearms battalion is on the outside, and the crossbowmen are on the outermost side.
The two armies gradually approached, and the Black Flag Army completed its formation, quietly waiting for the Shu army to approach.
The Shu army began to approach at an accelerated pace.
After entering the thirty zhang, the crossbowmen on both sides began to diffuse.
Someone on both sides fell, the two armies came closer, and crossbowmen on both sides began to fire straight ahead.
The accuracy of direct shooting has improved, and there are more people on both sides.
Ten zhang, nine zhang, eight zhang, seven zhang,...... The Shu army began to charge.
