Chapter 0214: The Shore of the Yellow River
Just when the official army and the rebel army of Zhao State were in a posture on the bank of the Yellow River, preparing to fight a vigorous battle, a strange army of the official army had already crossed the tributaries of the Yellow River, sneaked into Shimen Mountain overnight, and rushed straight to Pingjian City.
Chen Xian guessed correctly, the official army did send a surprise army, preparing to attack Pingjian City, the purpose of which was to burn the grain and straw that the rebels had hoarded in Pingjian City and cut off its back road.
Of course, it is difficult to say whether this is the strategic purpose of the official army or not.
The so-called surprise soldier is to win by surprise. If you bring too many soldiers and horses, it is easy to expose your whereabouts, and you can't call it "strange", so this strange army sent by Shi Min has 5,000 people, and the main general is Li Xin.
At this moment, Li Xin is hiding in the jungle of Shimen Mountain with five thousand elites, and more than ten miles away is the city wall of Pingjiao City.
At this time, Li Xin, who was waiting patiently, waited for a small colonel: "General, something is wrong." The defenders of Pingthorn City did not have only 4,000 people at all, but more than 20,000 troops! Moreover, there is also a rebel camp on this Shimen Mountain, looking at its banner and momentum, no less than 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses! ”
"Okay, I got it."
Li Xin's brows furrowed, and then relaxed.
Fortunately, he didn't attack rashly, although the order given to him by Shi Min was to make a surprise attack on Pingjian City and burn the rebels' grain and grass, but it gave him the power to adapt to the situation, if he encountered an ambush, or if he felt inappropriate, Li Xin could terminate the operation by himself.
"General Li Xin."
At this time, Li Xin had just entered a makeshift row and sat down on the main seat, when he saw a young man dressed as a soldier walking out of the curtain door on one side.
This person Li Xin knows, it is the military advisor sacrificial wine, the long history of the Wei Palace, Qin Mu!
"Lord Qin? How did you end up here? Li Xin was stunned, a little unclear.
Qin Mu smiled mysteriously: "General, I expected in advance that there might be some mistakes in this surprise attack on Pingthorn City. Now it seems that if it is true, there must be spies in our barracks who are ventilating the rebels! ”
"Your Excellency is really clever!"
Li Xin couldn't help but admire, and said: "Lord Qin, it's just that now the rebels in Pingjian City and Shimen Mountain have become corners, even if we have internal defenses in Pingjian City, I'm afraid it will be difficult to break through Pingjian City and burn the rebel granary." ”
Qin Mu smiled faintly and said, "It's okay. I have discussed with the king before, if the plan to attack the city of Thorns is revealed, there is still a plan. ”
On the banks of the Yellow River.
As the saying goes, there are fewer than a thousand cups of wine for a confidant, and there is no speculation for half a sentence.
After talking for a while, Shi Chong became a little impatient and got up to leave. Shi Min surprisingly did not dissuade, as if his purpose was not to stall for time.
"Drums! Enter! ”
Back in the main formation, Shi Chong waved his hand and ordered the whole army to beat the drum and attack.
Of course, the plains along the Yellow River are vast and suitable for large-scale operations, but it is impossible for an army of more than 100,000 to rush up. With Shi Chong's order, the 100,000 rebel soldiers behind him suddenly boiled, and the war drums rang out, brightening the sky.
In the huge official and military array opposite, there are many energetic faces, and Li Xiaoyi is one of them.
This battle is Li Xiaoyi's first battle.
Li Xiaoyi is a yellow man in the Wei army, speaking of which he is still a fellow countryman with today's Wei King Shi Min, of course, how noble is the identity of the King of Wei, how can he have anything to do with Li Xiaoyi, who was born in a poor family, and what kind of mulberry feelings?
Li Xiaoyi, like many sons and daughters of the Han family, admires his commander Shi Min very much!
A strong person is born to be admired and admired!
Li Xiaoyi is a rookie egg, he has just joined the army for only three months, and he has been training for three months, and this is his first time on the battlefield.
The battlefield is really sinister, although the battle has not yet begun, but the dull atmosphere has already made people feel suffocated.
It was the end of August, the weather was slightly cool, the autumn was crisp, Li Xiaoyi clutched the spear in his hand tightly, and there was a hot feeling from the barrel of the gun, which made Li Xiaoyi's palms hot and sweaty, and sweat stains on his face unconsciously oozed sweat, I don't know if he was nervous, scared, or longing for something, or the weather was still a little hot, anyway, sweat oozed from his back, and he was a little cold.
"Xiao Yi, don't be nervous." By Li Xiaoyi's side, a strong soldier holding a sword sighed with relief.
"Yes."
This person is Li Xiaoyi's Wu Chang, surnamed Han, and people call him Han Wu Chang.
"When I first went to the battlefield, it was inevitable to be nervous and scared, and I was scared in all the robes I had seen! Hahahaha! So, there's no shame in that. ”
When arranging the troops, it is not allowed to talk to each other and whisper, and there can be no strange sounds in the phalanx.
But Li Xiaoyi's unit is a reserve, if there is not too much pressure on the front and there is no need to replenish the troops, then they will not even have a chance to play.
This is Shi Min's purpose.
In every war, Shi Min would bring many recruits to replenish the fresh blood in the army. Veterans, elite soldiers and strong generals are all from the eggs of new soldiers, how can they fight tough battles without being tempered by blood and fire?
"Captain Wu, has the battle already started ahead?" Li Xiaoyi asked.
"yes. It's already hand-to-hand. Captain Wu's expression was a little solemn, "But come to think of it, it's not our turn to go to the battlefield." This time, there is the Metropolitan Governor personally out of the horse, the elite soldiers are innumerable, and there are two elites here, the Xuanjia cavalry and the broken military camp are here, and there are hundreds of thousands of horses around the rebels, and the Metropolitan Governor takes the elite of our Han army, and he can also win the battle! ”
Li Xiaoyi's eyes couldn't help but shine: "Is it a broken barracks known as the 'first elite of the Han Army'?" Captain Wu, I heard that all the warriors in it can be ten with one, or even one against a hundred! Everyone has at least the level of a centurion! ”
"Hahaha." Wu Chang patted Li Xiaoyi's shoulder and said, "Not bad." The sharp soldiers who broke the barracks were treated very well, and there were many opportunities to charge into battle, but their selection was extremely strict, regardless of whether they were reduced or not, the scale of the broken barracks has been maintained at 1,000 people! Among the 200,000 Han troops, only 1,000 soldiers from the broken military camp came out! In other words, one in two hundred! At the beginning, I also wanted to enter the broken barracks, but my strength was not good! ”
At this moment, the official army and the rebels have started a big battle in full swing.
The plains on the banks of the Yellow River are vast, but for a while, they can't withstand the hundreds of thousands of people fighting here.
The rebels took the lead in attacking, out of 5,000 elite cavalry, from the front to kill, this kind of elite cavalry cooperation is not very willing, because it is the alliance of the princes, there is no time to run in, so they fight separately, just wait for the order to come out, then spread the horse's hooves, gallop towards the front of the official and military array.
Shi Min looked at this scene expressionlessly and raised his hand.
"Click! ......" There was a tooth-sore sound, and the shield bearer in front of him pressed it at the same time, smashing the rectangular shield in his hand to the ground, like a thick wall, standing majestically there.
"Roar!" Immediately afterwards, the pikeman pressed on, pressing the spear in his hand against the shield. As for the spearman behind him, he held a spear three or four meters long, looking down from above, only to see the front line of the official army, a spear like a sea, under the sunshine, a green and quiet piece!
