Yuan army array.

Sainchi Dahu, Wang Baobao, and Hulinchi all went out of the city, leaving only Yan Sixiao and Li Lao to guard the imperial city. The sergeant pushed the watchtower, and Sainchi and Wang Baobao dismounted, climbed high and looked into the distance, watching the coalition formation opposite.

The Yan army was in front on the left, and the Wu army was in front on the right.

The formations on both sides seem to be the same, but when you look at them in detail, there are differences.

The same thing is that they all put the foot soldiers first. The difference is that the Yan army placed the Ma army in the rear, while the Wu army placed the Ma army in the middle army.

There are many Yan soldiers, more than 10,000 people, and they are divided into five divisions.

The Chinese army has 2,000 people, a team of 50 people, and a total of 40 teams. Inside: two hundred and fifty crossbowmen and firecrackers; 1,000 cavalry; Five hundred soldiers. Around the Chinese army, there is an army on the left and right, which is led by Tong Shengyang, Hu Zhong, Gao Yanshi, and Bian Anlie and Liu San, who have just arrived. The number of the armies was more or less the same, about 2,000 to 3,000 men. The specific armament of the troops is similar to that of the Chinese army, with crossbowmen, musketeers, foot soldiers, cavalry and other miscellaneous types. The only difference is that in the Ma army formation of Tong Shengyang and others, there are fewer foot soldiers; In the infantry formation of Bian Anlie and others, there were fewer horse troops.

Wu had a small army, 5,000 people, and was divided into three divisions.

The Chinese army was 1,500 people, also a team of 50 people, and there were hundreds of cavalry inside. There were about 1,800 men on each of the left and right armies, all of whom were foot soldiers. The shield-bearer is in the front, the spearman and the axe-bearer are in the middle, and the crossbowman is in the back.

"Do you see that?" Sainchi replied and asked Wang Baobao.

Wang Baobao pressed his hand on the fence of the watchtower, nodded, and said, "I can see it." ”

"The formation of the swallow thief is like a plum blossom, the foot pawn is in the front, the cavalry is in the rear, and the four armies on the left and right, the front and rear firmly protect the Chinese army, and the early stage should be mainly defensive. The formation of the Wu thief was juxtaposed, the left and right flanks were slightly protruding forward, and the central army was slightly behind, which was clearly an offensive formation. They should be the first to strike. ”

"Yes."

"Chuan ordered to go, ordered me to go forward, on the right flank, raise my vigilance, and be vigilant against Wu thieves."

"No!"

Military orders were handed down. The formation of the Yuan army was adjusted accordingly.

……

Yan army formation.

The soldiers also pushed the watchtower, and Zhao Guo and Pan Xianer were also climbing high and looking far away, and saw the adjustment of the Yuan army's formation.

"See, see?"

"See."

"The Tartars and Tartars adjusted their formations, they should have discovered the clues, guessed and guessed that it was the Wu army that fought first."

"Not bad."

"Guan, Guan, Tartar formation, foot soldiers in front, bows, crossbowmen in the middle, cavalry behind. The long, spear battalion, and ironclad battalion are all in the Chinese army. Obviously, he, he wants to defend first and then attack. ”

"yes, the stalwarts are not in the front. Moreover, please see, general, all the cavalry behind the formation did not get on their horses, the spears of the pike battalion were all placed on the ground, and the ironclad battalion was not yet fully dressed in heavy armor, and the Tartars were recuperating! I want to use the foot soldiers in front of us to consume our momentum, and then use the elite to counterattack. ”

Looking downstairs, a horse rushed from the south to see its small flag, which was a messenger sent by Wu Jun.

"Jiangnan often participates in politics in spring, and I would like to inform Lord Yidu Zuocheng Zhao that our army has completed its formation and can fight at any time."

"Please, please tell Chang to participate in politics, and when my drum sounds, please, please ask him to fight."

"Yes!"

The messenger received the order and returned to the Wu camp.

According to the Haidong military system, with an army of 20,000 people, the Chinese army placed 40 drums. When the drum sounds, it can be heard far away. Wu Jun was able to hear it clearly. Pan Xianer pointed to the hourglass placed on the edge of the watchtower, and said to Zhao Guo: "General, the hour is almost here." ”

The time of the battle is coming.

……

Sain Chidahu and Wang Baobao watched the formation of the coalition army, went down to the watchtower, sent Cai Ziying to ride out of the formation, marched to the middle ground, raised his voice, and shouted to the Yan army formation: "Captain Dayuan, please speak to the general." ”

Zhao Guo was stunned, and quickly understood the meaning of the Yuan army, the so-called "talking" is nothing more than to use this to hit the enemy's morale, there is a way to "know that he is a thief, and the enemy can be convinced". He arched his hand to Pan Xianer and said, "Please, please Mr. come out." ”

Pan Xian'er didn't shirk either, went down to the lookout, got on his horse and went out into battle, walked forward a little, stopped, and said in a loud voice: "Great Song Yidu Zuo Cheng Zhao Gong, what do you have to say?" ”

The battlefield was very quiet, not a single person moved, and not a single person spoke. A bird flew through the air, as if it had just discovered the opposing army, and as if frightened, it chirped, and suddenly spread its wings and flew high, burrowing into the low clouds, and disappeared without a trace. In this silence, between the three military formations, under the watchful eyes of everyone, on the open plain, the two answered.

"Today's chaos and the people's livelihood are not good, and they are all victimized by you. Folk rumors: Haidong is as poor as a wolf, and the Huaiyou Army is addicted to cannibalism. You are so brutal, you are worse than livestock! Poor people, how innocent, to be poisoned by this! Your so-called 'King Yan' and 'Wu Guogong' boast of benevolence and righteousness, but they do not feel guilty because of this, and surrender to the king in order to seek rehabilitation; instead, for their own selfish interests, they disregard the lives of tens of millions of people, raise the teacher and mobilize the people, and take the initiative to provoke me with the strength of Yan and Wu. Fang Jin, the righteous and brave of my family's Taiwei Gongtong Jinji, the heroes of Henan, the sergeants throw stones and pull the distance, Menglun fencing, are all battle-hardened elites, control the enemy like picking up the leftovers, breaking the strong army like destroying the decay, punish the thieves by the order of heaven, and relieve the people from hanging upside down, and morale is like a rainbow! My division is a leaping horse and a fierce spirit; You and others are alone in the depths, and there is no follow-up. ......, the situation is like this, if you are afraid of defeat, come and surrender quickly! If you don't surrender, please fight, and the fierce will be punished! ”

Cai Ziying is eloquent, and after a long speech, the momentum is quite impassioned. Pan Xianer listened to him quietly, looked up to the sky and laughed: "Haha! ”

"Why are you laughing?"

"Saving chaos and punishing violence is called a righteous soldier. The King of the Righteous Soldiers. tyrannical and unreasonable, like a tiger shepherding sheep, it is said to be crippled, and the remnants of the soldiers are broken! Right and wrong are at ease in people's hearts, why bother puffing up their tongues and saying something that turns black and white upside down? What's the use of making you talk about dry mouth? Today, the king of my family rebels and the remnants of the war will win! ”

Concise.

Cai Ziying was about to say something, and Pan Xianer raised his hand high. In the Yan army array, the drums suddenly made a loud noise, first the generals and colonels in front shouted, then the soldiers in the front shouted, and finally more than 10,000 people shouted in unison: "Today, the king of my family rebels and the remnants of the war will win!" Ho, ho, win! ”

Like thunder on the ground, the cry shook the sky.

Pan Xianer turned his horse away, no longer paid attention to Cai Ziying, and entered the formation. Cai Ziying had no choice but to return to the battle. Zhao Guo and Chang Yuchun made an appointment: the drums sounded, and the Wu army went to battle. With the sound of drums, the Wu army galloped out of the formation, wore heavy armor, and put Changge horizontally, and went straight to the front of the Yuan army, only two hundred steps apart.

……

Zhao Guo noticed this person, and said to Pan Xianer, who had just re-ascended the watchtower: "Who is this, who is this?" ”

"It should be the brave general of the Wu army. Looking at the posture, he was sent by Chang Yuchun to challenge the Tartars. ”

Before the decisive battle, the advance sent brave generals to fight alone, which was common in various dynasties. Luo Guanzhong later wrote "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", often asking the generals of both sides to go head-to-head, decide the winner and then fight, which did not include his personal experience that he had heard and witnessed.

Wu Junyong will challenge, and the Yuan army can't help it.

However, in the pre-battle challenge, there is no need to send generals, just choose brave warriors.

Wang Baobao said: "Among the children's personal soldiers, there are 100 households, who are good at using iron guns, weighing 20 catties, and are famous in the army, because of their surname Liu, they are called 'Liu Tiegun'. When he broke through from Juye a few days ago, he guarded the children and killed several red thieves in succession. Can be sent out to fight. Sainchi agreed and ordered Liu Tiegun to go into battle.

Liu Tiegun arrived in front of the battle, looked at the general of Wu Jun, saw that there was a hood to cover his face, and he couldn't see the appearance clearly, and said horizontally: "Come to the general's name!" I don't kill the nameless under the iron gun. Before the words fell, Wu Jiang urged the horse to rush forward, Chang Ge picked up, swung his iron spear away, with the help of horse speed, Chang Ge recovered, and when the two passed by, he used Chang Ge's tail to knock it to the ground with his backhand, turned back, and drove the horse to trample his body with the horse's hooves.

This series of actions is like lightning and flint. Before the Yuan army could react, Liu Tiegun had been trampled to death, and everyone was shocked. Wang Baobao and Sainchi were relatively stunned, this was not like a fight, but like killing chickens. Sainchi replied, "This, this,......。 The thief will be brave! ”

Wu will leap on the horse and challenge again.

Wang Baobao said: "There is a thousand households in the Tiger Wing Army, who are famous for their bravery, known as Badu, and are overwhelming in riding and shooting. In terms of martial arts alone, it is on par with Guo Yun and Han Zhaer, and far better than Liu Tiegun. You can play. ”

Batu received the order to go out of battle.

He learned to be obedient, refused to get too close to General Wu, held the bow full, put the saddle obliquely, put a feather arrow between his fingers, and said cautiously: "Look at your martial arts, you must not be a nameless." But Cai Qian? ”

General Wu said: "If you want to fight, you will fight, why bother to say more? ”

"Is it okay to compare arrows?"

"Let you shoot first!"

Batu put the feather arrow on it, took up the longbow, and said, "I have carved this arrow as a feather, and it goes very fast." General, please beware. "The hand loosens the arrow and goes like a shooting star.

Wu Jiang put Chang Ge in his right hand, sat on the horse, and did not move until the arrow came to his eyes, said that it was too late, that time was fast, and in a moment, he turned sharply, stretched his waist, made an iron plate bridge, and dodged the past; At the same time, with a touch of his left hand on his waist, he took out the short knife. Then, with his legs and waist exerting force, he sat up straight again, his left hand hanging by his side, and threw the short knife forward.

When everyone hurried to look, they saw that the short knife was right in front of Badu. He screamed, turned over and fell from his horse, and saw that the short knife had penetrated several inches into the bone, and he was no longer alive.

Sainchi suddenly gasped and said, "I didn't even take it again, there is such courage among the Wu thieves!" Could it be Feng Guosheng? There are 1,000 households in the Jining army, which is good at using big swords, cowardly when encountering small enemies, brave when encountering big enemies, bravely crowning the three armies, known as '10,000 enemies'. It seems that he can only be sent out of battle! ”

10,000 enemies went into battle.

He learned from the experience of Liu Tiegun and Badu defeat, and after he got out of the battle, he didn't say a word, urged the horse to gallop, went straight to Wu Jiang, waved the big knife, and slashed down with the sound of the wind. Wu turned the horse away, ran out of a distance, and when the horse was quickly raised, he turned back to fight.

The two riders met.

The big knife is cut down, and the long Ge is on the upper branch. The knife was heavy and light, and it couldn't be stopped, and with a "click", Changge was broken into two. The big knife continued to fall, grazing Wu Jiang's nose and almost slashing it.

The two horses staggered by.

Wu will hurriedly turn the horse around. The equestrian skills of the 10,000-strong enemy were not as good as Wu Jiang's, so he turned a little slower, and when he saw that he couldn't see it, he simply continued to run forward, and Wu Jiang chased him behind. In a few moments, the two of them circled around the open space in front of the formation. The two sergeants were dazzled.

Wu Jiang's horse was fast and caught up with 10,000 enemies.

The Yuan soldiers and soldiers all held their breath, their eyes widened, and some of them couldn't hold their breath, and they let out a light "ah". After catching up with the 10,000 enemies, he lost half of the broken Ge in his left hand, and the ape arm was lightly relaxed, grabbed the cloak of the 10,000 enemies, easily pulled it closer, raised his right hand, and plunged it fiercely, inserting the other half of the broken Ge into his neck.

He was on the right side of the 10,000 enemies, that is, he was on the right side of the 10,000 enemies, so he lost the left hand of the enemy. And because he was on the right side of the 10,000 enemies, and the 10,000 enemies were not left-handers, the hand holding the big knife was the right hand on the top and the left hand on the bottom, that is, the blade was also on the right side of the body, and he was in the same direction as Wu Jiang, and it was inconvenient to block, so he was cut off the horse again before he could close it.

It was easy for the two armies to kill people in front of the formation. And it was only one or two hundred steps away from the Yuan army's position, and his movements were crisp and neat, and he looked at the nearly 20,000 enemies as if he were nothing, which was simply bold! Yan and Wu unanimously applauded in unison: "Good! The cheers fell, and Wu Jun shouted again: "The general is mighty!" ”

……

Yan army formation.

Zhao Guo said admiringly: "This, is this the demeanor of Huaisi Yingjie?" But I don't know my name. "Slightly moved by the love of talent, ordered to look at the soldiers downstairs," quickly, quickly go to the front of the battle, and ask General Wu's name. ”

Yuan army array.

Sainchi suddenly lost his voice in shock, and said: "This ancient Ben, Yuye! How can I be a thief? "I wanted to solicit and ordered the soldiers downstairs, "and before going to the battle, ask the name of the general." ”

……

Without waiting for them to ask, Wu Jun had already shouted out this person's name: "The general is mighty!" Often 100,000. The general is mighty! Often 100,000. "Zhu Yuanzhang's number one general, the first commander to go north this time, and Jiangnan often participates in politics. Wu Jun shouted three times, resounding to curb the clouds. The wind and clouds converge, and the heavens and the earth change color.

Chang Yuchun rode independently, stood in front of the crowd, and looked down on the three armies.

Zhao Guo was at a loss and said, "It turns out that it is Chang 100,000!" "Although I love talent, I also know that I have no chance to recruit him.

It can be heard that it will be a common spring, and Sain's intention to solicit is gone. Wang Baobao hurriedly raised his hand and ordered: "The thief master Wu will come out lightly, quickly get up and ride out of the battle, and leave it behind!" ”

……

It was only at this time that the three-way war drum of the Yan army was finished.

The drums fall, the trumpets sound. After the horn stopped, the decisive battle began. In the middle of the drum falling, the gate of the Yuan army's formation opened, and hundreds of light horsemen rushed out to kill Chang Yuchun.
