(Writing and writing that I actually fell asleep, I don't ask for a subscription I'm sorry for myself!) )

In October, in the early morning after the heavy snowfall, the street drums of the 108 market squares in Chang'an City were still "knocking". Unaffected by the enemy's pressure at all, the people of Chang'an still do their own things and live their own lives. People who get up early open the door, take a breath of fresh air with a sweet smell unique to the snow, fresh and fresh their hearts, and then spit out the turbid air of the night. Go to the well to make water with heating, clean the face, rinse the mouth, one board and one cavity, orderly, not panicked, this is the unique style of Chang'an people.

The envoys of the various cities, as well as the street envoys of Jin Wuwei, arrived at work early in the morning, took the soldiers on duty, went into the streets and alleys, and called people out to sweep the streets from house to house. In fact, they don't need to greet them, many people automatically take brooms to the streets, they are all people who have lived in Chang'an for so many years, don't you know this rule? Come out early in the morning, sweep the street activities and move your muscles, and then have two dollars to the shop to come to a bowl of hot soup, ask for a pot helmet, listen to the scholars who eat breakfast in the shop read "The History of Chunming Dynasty" and "This Spring and Autumn", at noon the family has a meal together, and go to the workshop in the evening to have some fun, many Chang'an people feel that the current life is quite tasteful, although now this moist life is vaguely threatened by the outside. The people of Chang'an are still very elegant and gentle and scolded:

"Mother x Tubo!"

Then go on with your life. This is especially true today, because there is a news in the latest two newspapers today, that is, the Third Army, which was originally stationed in the gold merchants and was under the command of Adie Guangyan, the defense envoy of the gold merchants, was ordered to be transferred to Fengxiang, and two brigades of troops were transferred from Hezhong to Mukden, and the two brigades of troops were transferred to Shuofang through Hedong.

By the time the people in the various restaurants had finished their breakfast, the streets were open to running horses again. The children had snowball fights on the side of the street, built snowmen, and when they hurt one, they came up and beat them, and the adults ran to the side when they kicked them, and ran away when they saw an opportunity, and the adults laughed and laughed, laughing and scolding:

"Rabbit cubs have thick skin."

At about the same time, five or six batches of fast horses ran in from Mingdemen and Chunmingmen at the same time, and the people on the horse shouted:

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, Huaixi urgent!"

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, Shannan good news!"

So the people on Chunming Street were puzzled, and Suzaku Street was jubilant. Two kinds of news spread all over the city, and everyone was waiting for Lubu to see what the good news was and what the emergency report was.

As a result, Chang'an City is a place for spectacle lenses. After Lubu came out, people first looked at the one in Shannan, and it was really good news, Li Yu, the head of the march of Shannan Road, sent his generals to make Wang Yi, and the ten generals of the mountains and rivers, Dong Shaojun, Ma Shaoliang, Fu Ya, Tian Zhirong, Yan Shirong, etc., captured Ma'anshan, Shengshan Mountain, Smelting Furnace City, Xiping, Baigou, Wengang, Chucheng and other fortresses. More than 2,000 beheaded. Li Yu personally led the power of Tangzhou to assassinate Li Jincheng's troops, uprooted the Wencheng Gate, killed more than 1,700 people of Wu Xiulin and Sun Xianzhong, and captured more than 1,300 people. Yan Qin, the deputy commander of the Shannan Road March, led his troops to storm Shenzhou, captured Wu Shaoyangzi, the first general of Huaixi, Wu Yuanji (Li Yu gave the credit to Yan Qin, of course, the specific content is in the secret fold), beheaded more than 2,000 successively, and has broken through the outer city of Shenzhou and besieged the inner city.

And the so-called "Huaixi Urgent Report" sent by Henan Province is actually a good news. The content of the good news is a great victory. Quanhe Henan Provincial Governor Soldier and Horse Envoy Adie Guangyan and Henan Provincial Marching Governor Wu Chongyin closely cooperated, coordinated command, and fought with the main force of the Huaixi Army of 50,000 in Xiaoxushui, broke the Huaixi Army, beheaded more than 10,000, captured 20,000 alive, killed more than 30 generals below Huaixi General Zhang Boliang, wounded Dong Zhongzhong, and Huaixi General Wu Yuanqing escaped by night. The reason why such a big victory was shouted as "urgent report" was that the officer's native accent was too strong, and the distinction between "urgent" and "jie" was not clear! Li Zhongyan told Li Yu about this incident as a joke in a timely manner, and sure enough, Li Yu smiled and sighed, "Learn Mandarin well, and you won't be afraid to go all over the world".

In fact, the big win itself was full of ups and downs. According to the prior agreement, early in the morning of the same day, after the soldiers and horses of the Tang Army had a full meal, they went out of the camp in turn to form a formation at the Xiaoshui River. Just like the numbers on the surface, there were more than 30,000 horses on both sides, and 60,000 or 70,000 people spread out on the plains.

When I came out early in the morning, the sky was overcast, and the light gray clouds pressed low, as if trying to inflict fear on people. On the contrary, the soldiers on both sides were not affected in the slightest. Both sides know the significance of this big war. If the official army is defeated, the blow to the morale and confidence of the entire country and the army will be far-reaching, and if Huaixi is defeated, it can be described in the words of the Huaixi generals:

"Then the sky in Huaixi is about to fall. If we are defeated, the court will not let you thieves in their eyes go, and your wives and daughters will be humiliated, think of Han Quanyi's letters! ”

Or talk about Han Quanyi's letters. And if Huaixi wins,

"Then our Huaixi is to get the wind and the rain. Everyone just follows the marshal and the young marshal, what do you want, you want officials and officials, you want money and money, you want houses and houses (why not land?). Did house prices go up then? to have women and theirs,"

As he spoke, he pointed to the large array of officers and soldiers, and continued:

"Everything is ours."

Steel-forged weapons, well-protected bright armor, heavy wooden shields, selected war horses, and even warm cotton clothes worn on their bodies, in the cold weather, every officer and soldier felt full of confidence. Wang Pei looked at his soldiers with satisfaction and said:

"God is unfair, let our Chen Xu get close to the evil neighbor of Huaixi, since the beginning of the Qujie envoy back then, Wu Shaocheng, the evil thief, has constantly beaten our Chen Xu's idea, and he has to join our Chen Xu every year, kill my father, and rob me of money and food, can you bear this breath? The predecessor Liu Jiedu overcame the rigid with softness, and befriended the Huaixi Wu thieves to settle the people, that's it, the Huaixi thieves did not let go of our Chen Xu's father. Everyone thinks that our Chen Xu's men are afraid of being bullied by Huaixi, saying that we are thieves and eggless things, but the emperor, and the prince, I believe that our Chen Xu men are the real masters, and Chen Xujun is the real grandfather army, today whether it is the Guards Army, or the brothers of the Zhaoyi 40th Army, and the Xuanwu Army, they all have to fight for this front army, because our Chen Xu Army was too cowardly a few years ago, and I Wang Peixian didn't dare to say a word, but the prince and General Adie, General Wu still let our Chen Xu 47th Army take the lead. What does this mean? Look at the weapons in your hands, that is worse than the Huaixi thief? Look at the armor and cotton clothes you are wearing, do you have them in Huaixi? Our Chen Xu and the 40th Army of the Guards are equipped with the same equipment, they are all two men with eggs, if we still can't beat the Huaixi Army, I don't care what you think, Lao Tzu, Wang Peixian, will never leave the battlefield alive! ”

He was answered by a fiery gaze.

The mobilization of both sides was excellent, but the officers and troops reflected a strong fighting spirit, while the Huaixi army had no intentions. Gao Xiayu stood in front of the formation and looked at it, and said:

"It's like a wild man."

The formation was not as tight as that of the officers and soldiers, and the faces of the soldiers were expressionless, and their eyebrows were full of chaotic energy. When these people come together, they form a dead air.

The tall towers stand in the formation of the officers and soldiers, and the situation of the Huaixi army is clear at a glance. The tower was carefully made by the skilled craftsmen of the Ordnance Inspectorate, and was specially used for field use, and now there are only two in the whole army, one is in Shuofang Fan Xichao, and the other is in the camp. Usually it is layer by layer, and it can be built at will, up to nine floors. Adie's face is now only seven floors. Li Chun insisted on staying in the army, but declared that he would not interfere in the military, and at this time he also climbed the tower curiously. Layer by layer, the higher I got, the more I beat the drum in my heart, but my face made a smile on my face. Standing at the top, although there is a roof on it, Li Chun still feels:

"It's so cold!"

Standing on the top of the tower is like being in a sea of black, and the scene is spectacular. Li Chun also feels that he lacks adjectives now. Not only can it be seen clearly in the official and military formations, but even the Huaixi Army on the opposite side, although it has erected a lot of flags, it can be seen clearly in the transfer and distribution. This feeling made the generals of the Tang Army enjoy it very much, while the Huaixi Army was very helpless.

Can standing on three floors feel the same as standing on seven floors?

"Damn, isn't it just a high ride?" Wu Yuanqing, who couldn't see a single one, pointed to the tower with a horsewhip, and said sourly, "Beware of falling and falling to your death." ”

Zhang Boliang comforted him and said:

"It's ours when this battle is over."

Li Chun, who was standing on the tower, found the position of the Chinese army of the Huaixi Army opposite with the help of Han Gongwu, took a few looks, and said to Ah Dieguangyan and Wu Chongyin, who was standing on the tower with his buttocks:

"The one who pointed at us with a horsewhip on the dirt slope is probably Wu Yuanqing, right? Be careful not to let him run. ”

After saying that, he went down the tower on the grounds that he would not hinder military affairs. Leaving Adie Guangyan, Wu Chongyin, Wang Dahai, Han Gongwu, Wang Peixian and others on the tower to continue to watch and observe the enemy's situation.

On the Huaixi Army's side, Zhang Boliang took 10,000 people as the front army, Wu Yuanqing took 10,000 people as the middle army, and Dong Chongzhi led 10,000 people as the rear army. On the side of the official army, Wang Pei led Chen Xu's 2 brigades of the 47th Army with 5,000 men as the front army, Han Gongwu's 5,000 men on the left flank, and Gao Xiayu led 5,000 men on the right flank -- compared with the commander-in-chief of an army, this was the most suitable number of troops for Gao Xiayu. The Chinese army was the 40th Army of Zhaoyi led by Wu Chongyin, commanded by Cao Hua. The pro-army of Adie Guangyan and Wu Chongyin are ready to use at any time under the tower. The rear army is the other two brigades of Gao Xiayu's army, the two brigades of the Wuning army and the 13,000 guards army, which is under the banner of Wang Dahai and is the reserve. The total number of troops put into battle exceeded 40,000.
