Wind and dust,.

The rain gradually began to fall heavily, hitting the ground and stirring up dust and smoke; Falling on people's faces, I feel a hint of coolness; Or it falls on the armor and makes a "crackling" sound. However, this loud "crackling" sound is so insignificant compared to the fight and fierce battle of tens of millions of people.

Outside the city of Shanzhou, the three armies of Yan, Wu and Yuan were in full swing.

After receiving the news that the enemy had come to help in Chengwu and Giethoorn, Zhao Guo temporarily withdrew from the front line. He is the chief general of the first army, and he must be responsible for everything, not only the decisive battle in front of him, but also how to intercept the enemy reinforcements on both sides.

After killing for a long time, he was covered in sweat and his armor was stained with blood.

Although he temporarily withdrew from the front line, he did not dismount, about seventy or eighty steps away from the center of the battle, he put the spear in his hand on the ground, first turned his head and stared, looked in the direction of Yangjiaozhuang for a while, and then looked up at the direction of Chengwu for a while, and asked left and right: "Can the military orders for Pan Yang Fu and others be passed on?" ”

"It's been handed down. In full accordance with the orders of the adults, they were ordered to stop all the Tartars who came to their aid from the battlefield at all costs. ”

"Pan Yang Fu", Pan Xianer, Yang Wanhu, Fu Youde. Chengwu's incoming enemy was in charge of Yang Wanhu and Fu Youde, while the incoming enemy in Sheephorn was intercepted by Pan Xianer.

Because of the lifting of his face, the rain fell in Zhao Guo's eyes, and it immediately confused his vision.

He hurriedly closed his eyes slightly, stretched out his hand to wipe it away, and felt that it was okay, so he opened his eyes again, and was about to say something, when something jumped into the corner of his eye, and his face did not change, and he said angrily: "Who, who gave the order?" If there is nothing, if there is nothing, how dare the military flag retreat? ”

But it turned out that although others retreated, the handsome flag did not retreat, and it was still held by the flag officer, and four or five fierce generals escorted the front to rush and kill. First, the handsome flag is the courage of the three armies, especially at this moment when the battle is fierce, it can be said that thousands of troops are eye-catching, if they retreat for no reason, they will mess up the hearts of the army; Of the two, Zhao Guo had earlier ordered Tong to give birth and raise, saying: If Erqi retreats, I will kill Er; If my flag retreats, you will cut me.

Therefore, others do not retreat.

However, just now, he saw that Shuai Qi was showing signs of retreating.

Actually, this is also understandable. Chahan crisscrossed the north of the Yellow River, fighting all over the group and had few opponents, could his troops be easily defeated? When Zhao Guo personally took the lead in his predecessor, perhaps because of his encouragement or the coercion of military law, the handsome banner would not retreat; But now, there are no heavy generals on the front line, who has no fear of death? There are also those who can't stop the crazy counterattack of the Yuan army for a while.

However, although this is reasonable, it does not justify it. When the two armies fight, they have to fight with their lives to win, because they are afraid of death and retreat, can this battle still be fought?

Zhao Guo didn't say a word, drew his saber, handed it to a personal soldier, and gave a categorical order: "Take the head of the retreater." ”

The soldiers received the order, urged the horse to gallop, passed through the layers of headquarters soldiers, and ran straight to the place where the handsome flag was.

At the Shuai Qi place, the flag officer and the flag guard generals, saw the messenger coming with a knife from a distance, and looked at each other in shock, knowing that this must be to take his life, he did not dare to wait for his approach, and hurriedly sent someone to meet him to report: "It is not that we dare to retreat without authorization, but because of the rain and slippery roads, we did not stand firm, and almost fell, so Shuai Qi stopped for a while and did not continue to move forward." ”

When the pro-soldier envoy heard this, he did not embarrass the generals, turned his horse back, and reported the original words to Zhao Guo.

"How can it be? The road is slippery in the rain, we, we can't stand steadily, can the Tartars stand firm? Only, only this once, not as an example. Again, go and give the order: 'Now that the strong enemy is in front, and the enemy's reinforcements are behind, negligence will come, no, no victory, this is the time for me to die!' Army, military law, I am with all you! ”

"If I don't win, this is the time for me to die." This sentence, since Yan Jun joined the war group, Zhao Guo has said it more than once; "Military law, I am with all the kings", he has also said this sentence more than once. The troops he led were not second-line troops, most of them were Jing Rui from Haidong, and in ordinary battles, there was no need to be so reckless and strict in military discipline. It can also be seen that the Yuan army is really strong.

Just gave the order, and rode to the left.

Zhao Guo fixed his eyes, but he was often met with a messenger sent by Chun. It turned out that after learning that the enemy's reinforcements appeared, Zhao Guo immediately notified Chang Yuchun so that he could be mentally prepared, and asked him at the same time: "Since the fierce battle, have the soldiers been tired?" Do you want to ask the general to retire temporarily and let Haidong take over? ”

Before the Yan army entered the war, he often met Chun and said to Zhao Guo: "Please watch from the wall and see my thief!" Now because of the urgency of the situation, Zhao Guo also gave Chang Yuchun another agitation as it was.

The words are divided into two ends, don't look at Chang Yuchun's previous initiative to pick a formation, it is easy to cut the general in front of the Yuan army, in fact, at this time of the war, my heart is also bitter.

He was known as "Chang 100,000" in the Wu army, and said that he could "run 100,000 people rampant in the world", and in the past many years, he was indeed rampant in the south of the Yangtze River, fighting Zhang Shicheng and fighting Chen Youliang, and he had almost no defeat, and his reputation was famous. Zhang Shicheng is okay, he is as strong as Chen Youliang, and he doesn't care about it at all.

This time to aid Yidu, the first battle of crossing the Yellow River in the north, there was still a plan to show his skills in front of the Yan army and promote ,—— "national prestige", and it was precisely because of this that he had the previous initiative to take the initiative to challenge the battle and kill the enemy first, but who would have expected that Sainchi and Wang Baobao would be so durable!

It had been several hours of fierce fighting, and both sergeants were exhausted. In the past, it would have been won long ago.

But now, under the supervision of Wang Baobao, although the Yuan army has long been defeated, it still refuses to be defeated, and it is fighting to the death.

However, boasting in front of him, but he couldn't lose face in front of Yan Jun, the envoy he sent was magnificent, and said loudly to Zhao Guo with his head held high: "Please rest assured, this kind of small battle is nothing!" Our brothers have all fought Longwan and killed Chen Youliang, and we still have enough strength! ......, it was the Tartar reinforcements that came later, and I asked the adults to take more pains. Don't let us win in the front and lose in the back! It's a pity to fall short. ”

The battle of Longwan between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang was a water battle, but it also rained at that time, and it was torrential rain, and it was a battle that started after the rain. Moreover, in this battle, the Wu army only captured nearly 10,000 prisoners of the Han army after the war, and hundreds of large and small ships were captured. From these two data, we can imagine the intensity of the battle at that time.

This envoy compared Longwan to the present, and it is obvious that he does not take the Yuan army seriously. Although the words are heroic, it's just that what kind of identity Zhao Guo is, looking at the pretense of this messenger, he is only a hundred households, but he dares to speak like this, which is really rude.

The Yan army on the side was all angry, and some were anxious, and their hands had already touched the handle of the knife.

However, Zhao Guo was not angry at all, he had been fighting in the army all the year round, he was used to seeing arrogant soldiers, smiled slightly, and said: "It's raining in the sky, looking at this situation, maybe it will soon be big." If the rain rains for a long time, it is not conducive to fighting. So, I, I want to make a bet with your general. ”

"Dare to ask my lord, what are you betting?"

"Bet on this battle."

"What's the gambling method?"

"The prestige of your general, I, I have long been like thunder. To be honest, yes, I've been admiring your general for a long time. Bet on the winner within an hour, whoever breaks the enemy first will win! If your general wins, I, I will have Liaodong good wine to offer. If our army wins, if you can't say it, you will also disturb your general's banquet. ”

"I see. Such a trivial matter, if you don't work with the general, the villain can deal with it! ”

"Good! Sure enough, there are no weak soldiers under the strong generals. ”

Zhao Guo didn't care about the identity of the other party, reined in the horse and walked to the side of the horse of the Wu army envoy. The two of them high-fived three times on their horses and made a bet between the two armies.

"A word from my husband?"

"It's hard to chase a horse!"

The envoy of the Wu army turned his horse away, galloped, returned to his own army, and told the gambling contract to Chang Yuchun.

Watching him walk away, there were still Yan Jiang who was angry and said, "What! A small hundred households dare to be so ashamed, and dare to make a bet with adults on behalf of Chang Yuchun. There is no military law, and it is indeed bold! After finishing speaking, he was not angry, and viciously smacked "bah" on the ground again.

Zhao Guo shook his head and said: "Chang, Chang Yu Chun is famous for his prestige and bravery, if he and his subordinates are not like this, it will be strange." ”

There is still half a sentence that he did not say, "Observe the generals and know the pawns", what kind of generals there are, you can know what kind of subordinates you have; The reverse is also true, what kind of soldier there is, you can know what kind of commander there is. Although he has never met Chang Yu Chun, he seems to be able to vaguely see a little bit of Chang Yu Chun's appearance from this Wu Jun Baihu.

It rained before the battle, and the two armies made a bet.

A strong enemy of tens of thousands of people, and the outcome of this battle will inevitably be related to the luck of Haidong and even the future trend of the whole world. However, in Zhao Guo's gambling contract, what was used to make a bet was just a banquet. Don't look at him who usually talks little and has been in a high position for a long time, but the city government has already cultivated. Such an understatement and light-heartedness is by no means common people. It's really impressive.

"Your Excellency, you are right, I am afraid that this rain will get heavier and heavier, and it may not take an hour before it will be poured. Once it gets bigger, our firearms won't be able to be used; Bows and crossbows are also difficult to use. At the same time, behind the Tartar array is Shanzhou City, and it is not easy to stop the enemy in the rain, don't call it a victory, but it did not stop Sain Chida and let him escape. ......, it's time to speed up the intensity and speed of the attack. ”

"If it rains heavily, it will be bad for us, but we don't have to worry. The combat effectiveness of the Tartars, Tartars, and Divine Crossbow Armies will also be affected by the rain. ”

Speaking of interception after the battle, Zhao Guo remembered something and said: "Yan Sixiao, the defender of Tartar and Tartar City, has already sent his army out of the city to try and try to flank Gao Yanshi with Sainchi before and after. I have ordered Hu Zhong to divide his army to rush to help, now, what is happening now? ”

"I haven't heard the military report for a long time, so I think I should have stabilized my position."

"Again, send people to the battlefield again, watch the military situation, and report back quickly, quickly."

"Yes!"

has its own biased generals, and ordered to watch after the battle.

All the matters were arranged one by one, but Zhao Guo did not immediately go back to the front line, after all, he was worried about the enemy of Chengwu and Yangjiaozhuang, so he still stopped in place, while watching the battle, while waiting for Pan Xianer, Yang Wanhu, etc., as well as the scattered scouts to send military reports.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour or two, the rain really fell heavier and heavier, and it was no longer a little as big as a soybean, but densely connected into a rain line. hit the body and face, and it changed from a little coldness to a little pain. Looking around, the entire battlefield was covered by rain; A little farther away, the battle was no longer visible, only the shouts of killing and the sound of drums and horns urging the battle did not stop for half a moment, and it became more and more deafening.

The sound of rain and fierce battles are mixed together, giving people a strange feeling.

The mount under Zhao Guo's crotch lifted its hooves restlessly, snorted, shook its sideburns, and spilled many droplets.

"Shhh

Zhao Guo soothed it in a low voice and patted it lightly with his hand.

One of the soldiers said, "My lord, it's raining heavily!" Anyway, I have to wait for the military report of Pan, Yang and others, where to wait for the same? Why don't you retreat to our army first? At least there is something to shelter from the rain. ”

If this pro-soldier is loving, his duty lies, knowing that Zhao Guo will not leave the battlefield.

"Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao is in full swing, as the main general, how can I retreat because of the rain?"

"......, look, sir! A probe horse is coming. ”

Zhao Guo squinted and saw that in the rain, there was a horse running in the distance. came to the front, but it was not a horse, but a messenger sent by Tong Shengyang: "Report!" My lord. Our army has gone deep into the Red Formation of the Tiger Forest and captured Bai Lock! ”

Every time it rains, you hear the good news, and the rain breaks the enemy, fast and fast.

Zhao Guo laughed happily.

On the left flank of the Yuan army, there were two formations. The front is white, and the back is red. Going deep into the Red Formation of the Tiger Forest means that half of the battle has been won. The laughter continued, and another rider came running.

"Report! My lord. Seeing that the situation was urgent, the thief commander Sain Chida ordered the brave to fight to the death with a short blade, and personally supervised the formation, killing more than a dozen retreating people one after another, and slightly blocking the offensive of our army. ”

As early as after Tong Shengyang broke through the white lock formation, Saiin Chi answered suddenly because he couldn't sit still and personally went to Hulin Chi's formation to supervise the battle, but he had not personally entered the battle at that time. About because he was in a hurry, he finally couldn't hold it back, and like Wang Baobao, he began to personally put on armor to supervise the battle.

The battle has been fought so far, the Yuan army has one enemy and two, although it can still be supported, but the two main generals have gone into battle one after another, and it is indeed the end of the strong crossbow. You know, when the Mongols fought wars, it was customary for the main generals not to go into battle. The charge has its own people, and the Mongol commanders are often only in charge of command. When even the main generals are in battle, the battle is basically coming to an end. Either nothing is nothing, enemy and enemy, dragon dragon dragon, book book book = house to survive in death, or it will be defeated.

Therefore, Zhao Guo was not only not surprised, but even more happy, and ordered: "Go back and tell General Tong that Ben, Ben will still say the same thing: If his general dares to retreat, I will behead him; If my banner is back, let him kill me!" ”

"Yes!"

Tong Shengyang's messenger left, and another rode in the rain.

In front of him, Zhao Guo looked at it and felt that he was a little familiar, but it was not the Tanma who had been scattered before, and suddenly remembered that it was not a general under Yang Wanhu, called Yang Si.
