Chapter Ninety-Eight: Blocking Gongsun Kang

Yuwen Chengdu, who received the order, personally led a hundred light horsemen to take the lead, and finally found the traces of Gongsun Kang's army a hundred miles away from Xi'an.

The scout reported: "Ten miles ahead, a Liaodong army of 3,000 men and horses was found, and they were burying a pot by a stream at the moment to make food. ”

"Revisit."

Yuwen Chengdu said that, ordered several Han soldiers to destroy the horseshoe marks along the way, and immediately led the remaining men and horses to hide in the dense forests on both sides of the official road.

Meanwhile.

Liu Wei, who led the army to slow down in the rear, also received military information from the scouts.

Liu Wei unfolded the march map, briefly measured the distance between himself and Gongsun Kang's army on the map, and said: "The distance between our army and Gongsun Kang's army is less than thirty miles. ”

Liu Wei said, looked up at everyone, and said, "What do you think?" ”

When Chai Shao heard this, he squinted his eyes slightly, shook his head silently, and said: "The terrain here is open, and it is not suitable to set up an ambush, so it is better to attack it with regular soldiers, supplemented by surprise soldiers to break the formation, which should be a perfect strategy." ”

Zhang Xun, Nan Jiyun and the others also nodded approvingly when they heard this.

When Liu Wei heard this, he decided to follow the advice, so he nodded and said, "Just do what Sichang said." ”

"Let the soldiers rest in place, eat something, replenish their strength, and wait here to meet the arrival of the enemy." Liu Wei said.

"No."

The generals bowed and saluted.

Two hours later.

Sun-basking three poles.

Gongsun Kang led the army to come belatedly, and he had already learned from the mouth of the scout that a group of men and horses was blocking the road in front, so he deliberately slowed down the march, and the original distance of one hour was a full two hours.

Gongsun Kang led the army to stop at a place two miles away from Liu Wei's army, and immediately beat his horse out of the battle, marched between the two formations, raised his gun and pointed directly at Liu Wei, who was standing in front of the formation, and shouted: "Who is coming? Quickly report your name! ”

When Liu Wei heard this, he lightly clamped the horse's belly, walked to a place less than fifty steps away from Gongsun Kang, looked at Gongsun Kang's incomparably green face, and said lightly: "I am the king of Hongnong, Liu Wei is also." ”

"Huh?"

Gongsun Kang was stunned when he heard this, and then pointed at Liu Wei with an angry face, and said: "Presumptuous, King Hongnong has unfortunately died at the hands of thieves, who are you?" How dare you pretend to be the king of Hongnong? ”

Liu Wei shook his head helplessly, and said in his heart: "I knew that it would be such a result, forget it, I really don't bother to explain these things to you, let's see the real chapter in our hands." ”

Liu Wei said, tightened the horse lance in his hand, and immediately raised his eyebrows to Gongsun Kang, his words were full of provocation: "Xiao Langjun, do you dare to fight with me for three hundred rounds in front of the battle?" ”

When Gongsun Kang heard this, he frowned, looked up at Liu Wei's delicate but heroic face, and immediately dispelled the mind of fighting with the opponent in front of the battle, and said: "A certain is not good at martial arts, the two armies are facing each other, and the competition is to face the enemy's opportunity, and you really shouldn't be rash for the sake of being a hero for a while." ”

Gongsun Kang said that, he didn't give Liu Wei a chance to speak, and immediately turned the horse's head and urged the horse to walk towards the formation.

Looking at the back of Gongsun Kang leaving, Liu Wei smiled slightly and said, "This person seems to be quite calm, but in fact, he lacks enterprising spirit, so he should not be worried. ”

Liu Wei said, turned the horse's head, and slowly walked towards the main formation.

"Gongsun Kang is strong on the outside and strong on the inside, so don't worry, let's act according to the original plan." Liu Wei said.

"No."

Everyone bowed and saluted and did as ordered.

Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun each led 500 elite soldiers to guard the left and right flanks of the army, Chai Shao and Zhang Xunqin led 1,500 soldiers to charge the enemy from the front, Liu Weiqin led the remaining 500 soldiers to sit firmly in the middle army, Li Ru and Changsun Wuji and others followed the side, dispatched in the center, and gave advice to Liu Wei.

After a long time.

The sound of drums sounded first in the Liaodong formation, and after the three-way drums sounded, Gongsun Kang, who was sitting firmly in the Chinese army, waved the command flag and commanded the army to advance slowly.

In this march, both sides were light and simple, and the arrows they brought were limited, so there was no large-scale scene of shooting each other with bows, and there were several archers with superb archery skills in the Liaodong army who shot a few arrows into the opponent's formation, but they did not cause obvious casualties to the other side.

On the other hand, on Liu Bian's side, Nan Jiyun kept stretching his bow and arrows in the process of marching, and shot at least fifty feather arrows, when he reached out to Hu Lu hanging on horseback, he found that there was only one feather arrow left in Hu Lu, so he finally stopped the action of opening his bow and arrows, and decided to leave a feather arrow for the time being, in case of emergency.

When the two armies marched to an interval of less than 100 paces, Chai Shao hurriedly raised his horse lance, suppressed the formation, and ordered the soldiers to take the horse lance as the boundary, and not to cross the thunder pool for half a step without an order, and then he gave an order aloud: "The front row of sword and shield men are ready." ”

Chai Shao's voice lagged behind, and the sword and shield hands in the front row raised the wooden shield inlaid with animal skins on the shield surface with brushes, and marched towards the Liaodong Army with neat steps.

"The sword and shield hand is in front, and the spearman uses his shoulder against the back of the sword and shield hand in front of him, and he must not take half a step back without an order, and those who violate it will be killed."

When the two sides were less than twenty paces apart, Chai Shao once again ordered in a loud voice: "The sword and shield men are ready to engage, and the spearmen are holding their spears." ”

The next moment.

The sword and shield bearers knelt on one knee and leaned sideways against the inside of the shield, and then, the spearmen in the second row pressed their shoulders against the backs of the front row of sword and shield bearers, and then put the spear shaft on the shield of the front row of sword and shield bearers, sparing no effort to stab wildly in front of them.

In infantry duels, maintaining the formation is not chaotic as the first criterion for victory, and whoever has the first formation to be chaotic is the defeated side.

After the two sides engaged, the army commanded by Chai Shao gradually gained the upper hand by virtue of the advantage of complete armor, and the Liaodong army was the first to begin to have a large area of casualties.

Seeing this, Gongsun Kang took the lead in showing his hole cards as a last resort.

A sound like thunder suddenly sounded from the right side of the Chinese army where Liu Wei was located, and he looked sideways and saw that a cavalry team composed of more than 100 people was rushing towards the direction of the Chinese army.

Seeing this, Li Ru couldn't help but be shocked and said, "Your Majesty be careful. ”

Liu Wei glanced back at Li Ru disapprerovingly, and said, "Don't always make such a fuss, along the way, we haven't seen any winds and waves?" How could they be frightened by a mere hundred cavalry? ”

Liu Wei said, stretched out his hand to take the horse lance from the hands of his own soldiers, immediately straightened the pocket on his head, looked sideways at Li Ru and the eldest grandson Wuji, and said with a smile: "You Aiqing will wait here for a while, and when I return from defeating the enemy, I will drink the celebration wine with Qing. ”

Looking at Liu Wei's back gradually moving away, Yang Xiu, who was forcibly pulled to watch the battle, somehow, suddenly felt a sense of panic in his heart, and it was only at this time that he finally realized that his heart had already made a choice involuntarily.

Nan Jiyun, who was responsible for leading 500 soldiers to protect the right flank of the army, saw that Liu Wei single-handedly launched a charge against the opponent's cavalry formation, so he hurriedly recruited Zhang Xun and asked him to command the soldiers instead of him, and then galloped towards the direction of Liu Wei's charge.
