After the day's meeting, the officers and troops on the south bank began to move to the north bank to change their guards.

But there are sixty or seventy thousand soldiers and horses on the south bank, and it is not possible to move over in a day or two, and Geng Bingwen probably didn't expect King Yan to dare to rush over directly, so the whole army is proceeding in an orderly manner, and there is no hurry at all.

The various ministries moved according to the order, and until August 25, more than 10,000 people had not completely come.

In the early morning of the same day, the various divisions were still moving to the north shore in a bit of confusion, and the soldiers and horses on the original north bank had to give up their places, and some moved further north.

The entire Zhending City is a little chaotic, and hundreds of thousands of troops are moving around, each looking for its own position.

There are also people who are dissatisfied with the station and want to change places.

In the midst of this chaos, suddenly, a long horn sounded, and from a distance north of Zhending City, countless flags waved in the wind, and a large force of Yan troops came.

Zhu Gaoxu is the vanguard of the Chinese army today, and he is on the west side of the Yan army with 2,000 soldiers and horses under his subordinates.

From his direction, it can be regarded as the right side of the Yan army, and the opposite side is the left side of the southern army.

He was thinking just along the way, why didn't the officers and soldiers go to Zhending City, and it was not good to defend the city?

Now under the city of Zhending, I finally know why, the circumference of the city of Zhending is about twenty miles, there were originally a large number of people and a small number of officers and soldiers in the city, and a large number of baggage and grain and grass were hoarded, and there was really no place to put the 130,000 soldiers and horses of the southern army.

At this time, the southern army had about 30,000 in the city and 100,000 outside the city.

By the time the Southern Army Sentinel Cavalry found out that the Yan Army had suddenly arrived, it was already too late.

At this time, the Yan army was still more than ten miles away from the southern army.

If Geng Bingwen's original garrison did not move, the distance of more than ten miles would be enough time for him to arrange it well.

But Geng Bingwen's whole army was moving, and suddenly received this news, just as King Yan said, the whole army was a little confused.

King Yan is very experienced in warfare, and he decided on his strategy a few days ago, and Zhu Gaoxu also saw the advantages of his decision-making.

The vanguard is Huo Zhen and Tan Yuan, both of them are cavalry, starting to speed up slowly from five miles away, starting to accelerate two miles away, and then directly into the right side of the southern army, with their charge, the war drums of the rear team of the Yan army sounded in unison, the horn continued, and a strong charge sounded on the scene, and the cavalry of the Yan army rushed over like a torrent.

Many of the Southern Army are still moving their camps, they are not ready, and some have not even received the military order of the Chinese Army, after all, it is impossible for the Southern Army Sentinel to spread the news of the arrival of the Yan Army to the 130,000 army in a short time.

According to the tactics and rules of the Ming army at this time, the sentry cavalry detected the attack of the Yan army more than ten miles away, and first had to rush back and report to the Chinese army, and then Geng Bingwen immediately made a decision, whether to continue to move the camp to the north, or to garrison the various departments in place.

Then a large number of messengers were to be sent to inform the commanders of the battalions and divisions of the 130,000-strong army.

The whole process takes a lot of time.

This is also why Zhu Gaoxu attaches great importance to the matter of pro-soldier transmission.

If this matter is replaced by Zhu Gaoxu, his personal soldiers can immediately be divided into hundreds of cavalry, and at the same time quickly convey the news of the Yan army's attack to each battalion.

King Yan is fighting the Southern Army, and this notice is time difference.

The scene was as expected by King Yan, and the southern army was caught off guard.

However, there were too many soldiers and horses in the southern army, there were 100,000 of them, and it stretched for several miles, and only a part of the soldiers and horses being destroyed did not necessarily affect the overall situation.

Zhu Gaoxu's troops soon arrived at the designated battlefield and heard the horn of their own attack, but they did not rush up to attack.

The best way to train soldiers is to fight, and his recruits have fought several battles in a row, and they have become stronger and stronger, but fighting a war does not mean fighting blindly.

Zhu Gaoxu was very good at learning, and the order given to him by King Yan was to try his best to break down the left wing of the Southern Army.

He was observing the left flank of the Southern Army at this time.

The left flank of the Southern Army was the first to be on the north bank, and it was all infantry.

After the soldiers and horses on the south bank were moved, this part of the men moved to the left flank to make way.

Zhu Gaoxu took a cursory look at the past, and at least three large battalions were composed of a company, each battalion counted 5,000 people, and there were 15,000 people.

It's not easy to fight.

Just as Zhu Gaoxu was taking a closer look, Xu Xiang and Chen Wen had already arrived at his side.

Xu Xiang glanced at it a few times, and immediately said: "The front of the Southern Army is still moving, and now is the best opportunity to break down the front, let them stabilize their positions, and the cavalry will not be able to fight the infantry." ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, he was also hesitating, and now he found that he must be decisive in a war, even if the order is wrong, it cannot be easily changed.

"Let's go, there's nothing to say, in order to get promoted and make a fortune, rush."

"Rush." Zhu Gaoxu's two thousand horsemen rolled and rushed to the front of the left flank of the Southern Army.

The left deputy general of the Southern Army is Li Jian, who is Li Jian's soldiers and horses.

Li Jian was originally in Zhending City, but today in order to move the camp, he also came to the camp, but he didn't expect the Yan army to come suddenly.

He was a little confused when he saw the Yan army, because there was no news from the sentinels of the southern army at all, and there was no preparation at all.

But now it was useless to think about this, and he immediately ordered that he should be stationed on the spot, and that the battalions should be assembled with his troops.

The infantry must be gathered, the denser it is, the more difficult it is to fight, and the cavalry will have a headache when they see it.

But his orders have not been improved like Zhu Gaoxu, from the time he passed it to his own soldiers, to the time when his personal soldiers passed it around, the entire battlefield was chaotic, and it took time to pass it to all battalions.

And Zhu Gaoxu's cavalry, almost in less than a minute in the later generations, had already arrived in front of their formation.

Hiss, Zhu Gaoxu looked at the infantry battalion of the Southern Army in front of him, and secretly gasped.

The large array of the southern army stretched for more than ten miles, and it looked endless.

If they weren't moving, they would have been blocked by a fence if they were stationed, making it harder to attack.

Now he suddenly understands that his father, Zhu Di, is going to mobilize the southern army and join forces on the north and south banks.

If only the north bank is attacked, there are fixed positions on the north bank, and the infantry will be able to attack the camp once they are entrenched, the fence will be pulled, and the horse pit will be dug again, and the cavalry will be difficult to attack.

Having learned again, Zhu Gaoxu thought about it secretly and waved his hand: "Shoot first." ”

Some soldiers immediately held up a small red flag and stuck it behind their backs, shaking it in the wind, shaking it as they ran.

"Grazing, grazing."

"Your Highness has an order, shoot first."

With the banner of the pro-soldiers, the general flags of thousands of households are calling.

After the Battle of Yueyang Bridge, Zhu Gaoxu made improvements according to the feedback from various departments on the battlefield.

Before, his own soldiers tied streamers of various colors to the tip of their hats, and some people said that it was still not high enough, and if everyone was cavalry, they could not be seen from a distance.

Like today's battle of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses on both sides, it is even more not enough to just tie it to the tip of the hat.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately thought of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the future, and he would carry several flags behind his back.

He improved it with one to three handles, and the colors were different, representing different meanings.

Then each battalion selected a special person and got to know and study for several days.

At this time, the flagpole on the back of the soldiers is more than one meter high, and the head is exposed nearly one meter, which is first inserted on the back, and then tied around the neck to ensure sufficient fastness and height, and the flag is relatively small to reduce resistance.

After the two sections are fixed, the soldiers can ride their horses with their free hands, wander around, and some can even perform mounted archery.

The red single flag, in Zhu Gaoxu's camp, represents the meaning of approaching grazing.

In Zhu Gaoxu's battalion of only 2,000 people, as long as one to three flags were erected, the whole army could see it clearly, and there was no need for his own soldiers to run around and give orders everywhere.

This is to use several flags, or even one, to deliver battle orders to the whole audience in the fastest possible time.

As the red flag fluttered, Zhu Gaoxu's entire army moved forward at a faster pace.

The southern army on the opposite side was also very nervous, and the infantry with spears and guns glared at them.

The two sides are getting closer and closer.

One hundred steps, eighty steps, fifty steps.

The pikemen moved forward one after another, and the southern army was also shouting: "Don't be afraid, go up." ”

"Hold on, there are a lot of us."

"Guns back."

"Archer ready."
