Chapter 394: The decisive battle of Hanquan
"Hansenpo?"
Ying Chong thought to himself, this is indeed not a very good place. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info is not only conducive to the opponent's cavalry charging and diffusion, the opponent's infantry can also be condescending array.
Although the hillside is not high, the highest is less than 20 zhang, but it is also an advantage. What's more, the Qin army came from afar, and it can have the effect of replacing work with ease.
But on their side, how could they make the Huns satisfied?
Although Ying Chong asked himself about this battle, they already had an eighty or ninety percent chance of winning, but this geographical advantage should not be ignored either.
Ying Xuanniang directly ordered: "Order the former army to stop and rest, Ying Shuangcheng led the first and second divisions of the Wanzhou Mansion Army, the fourth division, the fifth division, and the seventh division of Jizhou to temporarily organize 100,000 people, and went to the east bridge platform seventeen miles away to stop and camp, waiting for the army to settle in!"
For today's decisive battle, the generals of the Anguo Army have deduced countless times. The whole army went up to Yingchong and down to the town generals and brigade commanders, and they all knew the terrain here.
As soon as Ying Shuangcheng heard the name of the East Bridge Abutment, he guessed Ying Xuanniang's intentions. This was to force the Huns to leave the predetermined position.
The east abutment is close to the Osaka River, and although the current is not as good as those of the big rivers, it can also pass about 300 boats.
In addition, it is the throat of Ansha County from south to southern Hebei. Blocking the east abutment can make the Huns' efforts for nearly a month go to waste.
This is what the king of the left valley can never bear.
The key is that on their side, there is also a Great Heaven Rank Earth-Traveling Onmyoji Yun Guanghai. It may be an exaggeration to say that this person can build a city in one day, but as long as there is a sufficient supply of ink stones, Yun Guanghai will definitely be able to build a fortified city near the east bridge abutment in ten days.
Smiling, Ying Shuangcheng simply took the order to leave, and then when it was ten o'clock in the morning, the camp over there had already begun to take shape.
At this time, the entire Qin army retreated on the orders of Ying Xuanniang, stopping every three hundred steps, step by step. And only retreated seven miles, and the Hun army, which was more than 30 miles away, had to go forward with the whole army and leave Hanquanpo.
And the place of the decisive battle between the two sides was finally determined, which was more favorable to the Qin army's side.
Although this is still a plain field, the terrain on this side of Yingchong is slightly higher. The southeast side is close to the Kosaka River, and the riverside is full of wet and soft mud, which is not conducive to the cavalry attack. In addition, on the left and right sides, there is a low slope, which can be used as horns on both wings, and the strongest fulcrum of the army.
ββWhen the army was arrayed, Ying Xuanniang was also the first to order the first temporary division of Jizhou under the jurisdiction of Yue Fei, as well as the third temporary division of the Seed Division, to be stationed in these two nameless low slopes.
By the end of noon, nearly a million horsemen on both sides had converged on this huge plain. The distance between the two sides is twelve miles, and the soldiers who have cultivated to the third order can clearly see the facial features of the person opposite.
Ying Chong and Ying Xuanniang took a group of entourages to watch the battle as soon as possible. Discover the Hun army on the opposite side. Sure enough, the 140,000 infantry army was arranged in the area near the river, and the temporary fortifications were dug and ditched, preparing to hold on, while the remaining 430,000 cavalry troops were all arranged in the middle army and the left flank.
The overseer Wang Chengen also followed, and after only a few moments, his face was already pale. As far as he could see, the opposing soldiers were strong and their morale was high.
His lord will be Yingchong, who is undoubtedly a scheming man. Repeatedly breaking strong enemies is a clever memory of four or two thousand pounds. But in the current situation, he couldn't think of any other strategy that Ying Chong could come up with to deal with the Xiongnu captives.
However, he has been with Ying Chong for more than a month, and he knows that this is not a stupid person. Far from being 'arrogant', 'Meng Lang', and 'getting carried away' as outsiders say, he was extremely cautious and cautious, and in the past 30 days, he never gave up his worries about the defense line and his concern for the Xiongnu army.
But such an extremely cautious person, this time he must insist on the decisive battle. And His Majesty and Mi Chaotian are also full of confidence in him.
So Wang Chengen endured it and was ready to sit and wait to see how this battle would develop in the end.
If the battle is not harmonious, he will join forces with the military minister he has contacted privately and try to assassinate Subu with all his might.
Ying Chong used his perspective to look at his prison guards, and his eyes seemed to be smiling. I had the heart to tell the truth, but in the end, I thought about it for half a day, so I endured it again.
Looking at the changes in his expression as a prison soldier, it is actually quite interesting, it is like a living face, which is extremely exciting.
"Tsk! Their horses are all fat!"
Ying Xuanniang stared at the other side and muttered quietly: "This weather is inevitably too good-"
Ying Chong came back to his senses when he heard this, and then he was speechless, before his second sister, he also said that God blessed Daqin.
However, since the end of April, Jizhou has warmed up, and grass and trees have begun to grow everywhere. Except for the fact that the tide of heaven makes people uncomfortable, everything else in this land is very suitable for beasts to recover.
And after the war horse grows fat, it also means a stronger impact and more durable endurance.
Shaking his head, Ying Chong stared at the other side, and after a moment, he already had a thoughtful look in his eyes: "I'm afraid it's not fat, but fat." β
It can be seen that these Hun cavalry, no matter how ******, are very unsuitable for the climate of Jizhou today. Even if there is no battle today, then the king of Zuogu Li can only hold out for another month or two at most. had to withdraw from Jizhou when the hot summer came.
Even he can use this design to increase his chances of victory. But now, this is useless, and Ying Chong does not plan to change the time and place of the decisive battle.
"You're right, I'm wrong. β
Ying Xuanniang smiled slightly, took the initiative to admit her mistake, and then turned the horse's head: "But this afternoon, it seems that there is still a tough battle." On the contrary, it is on our side, so be careful. β
She didn't see any flaws in the enemy's formation. I didn't notice that those cronies who were originally subordinate to the old lord did not obey the military order. The left wing commanded by Hu Han Xie also cooperated tacitly with the Chinese army.
It can be seen that the king of Zuogu Li is still in power, and he is the desire of the army.
Ying Chong raised the corners of her lips slightly, Ying Xuanniang only said that it was afternoon, not that she said 'this battle', which naturally meant something.
Hu Han Evil placed the 30,000 people in the rear of the headquarters, which was clearly reserved. And the old department of the old sage king also clearly has a heart of prevention.
Although there is no major problem on the surface, just from the clues, it can be seen that there is still a subtle discord in the Hun army.
These contradictions will only erupt at certain times.
It's just that on their side, it's also not good. The five provisional divisions of the Jiwan Righteous Army had signs of instability before the first battle, and many of their generals had contact with the Baili family. This made Ying Xuanniang have to put the fourth provisional division of Zhi Kexing and the eighth provisional division of Cao Xun in the rear.
On the one hand, these 40,000 elites are used as reserves in their hands, and on the other hand, they are used to supervise the battle and prevent possible changes.
Although Wang Chengen had patted his chest and promised them before, they still couldn't rest assured.
Shaking his head, Ying Chong immediately looked at the sky again: "I'm afraid I need to prepare more torches." β
It's past noon now, and I'm afraid that this big battle will not end until tomorrow morning.
β»β»β»β»
Just when Ying Chong and a few people retreated, there were also a few people in the Hun army opposite, who were looking at the backs of Ying's sisters and brothers with a clairvoyant mirror.
"That's Daqin's An Guo Gong Yingchong?"
Zuogu Liwang Xu Bu magnified the clairvoyant mirror to the extreme, and looked at that Yingchong with a focused expression.
Although he had already fought once, it was the first time he was interested in Ying Chong, who was the first person to let him taste defeat, and the first guy who made him feel painful to the core.
"How does it look that the woman next to him looks more like the coach?"
"That's Ying Xuanniang!"
Baili Changxi said with a gloomy expression: "This woman has followed Ying Shentong since she was a child, and has experienced several battles with millions of people, and her ability is good. And Ying Chong, although he has won many victories, his experience in commanding a large army is blank. In the previous battles, most of them were for calculations. Therefore, the minister thought that in today's battle, the person who commanded on the spot should be this woman. β
Zuogu Liwang Xu Bu frowned slightly, and then his expression relaxed. For Ying Chong's actions, he was quite appreciative, which showed that this person's head was extremely sober.
Having said that, when it comes to commanding hundreds of thousands of troops in a field battle, he is also the first time. It's a pity that there is no one around me who can trust him.
And this battle is also of great importance to him, and it is impossible to fake others.
"The military formation on the opposite side is tightly organized, and it must not be underestimated!"
Xu Bu turned his gaze to the Qin army arrays on both sides, and then raised his eyebrows slightly: "A lot of shield cars!"
I saw that in front of all the military formations on the opposite side, there were pieces of shield carts, more than 6,000 of them, arranged layer upon layer.
In order to facilitate the field march, the Qin army carried light shield vehicles. But when the battle came, the Qin army only needed to fill the shield cart with soil, and then the Xuan Xiu who accompanied the army would solidify it. The defense capability will not be weak.
This array of chariots can withstand the onslaught of the cavalry on the one hand, and their feathered arrows on the other.
In addition to this, the Qin army also carried a large number of shields. Just insert the lower edge of the shield into the ground to cover several people behind you.
In addition, there are arm shields, almost one for each person, which can defend against projectiles against arrows from above.
There are also spears like forests, countless halberds.
At this time, looking at the hundreds of thousands of military formations, it was like a huge hedgehog.
Su Bu could see that this was a special formation, with three layers in front and back, which could be dedicated to fighting the cavalry.
But for some reason, the other side did not target the slightly weak left wing on their side, but instead hoarded heavy troops in the direction of the Chinese army and the northwest, with a faint sense of-for-tat.
"This is, Triplex?"
Hu Han Ye frowned slightly, and then said thoughtfully: "Do they think that with only these shields, they can carry the rushing method of my Hun iron horse?" )
