The battle in the outer valley road of the county was so loud that the entire county was alarmed. The county lieutenant led the county guards up the low city wall, and looked nervously at the direction of the burning valley road.

However, left and right, the county lieutenant did not see the attacking enemy troops. When the fire was gone, he knew that the county had escaped a catastrophe.

Zhou Yi led the 18th Army to escort more than 14,000 prisoners of the Youjun Army back to Dangcheng, and under the orderly arrangement of Zhou Yi and Peng Chong, the captives began to turn into infrastructure madness, frantically harvesting timber, collecting stones, and began to repair the city walls and build houses.

Peng Chong stood at the head of the city, looked at the city that had become a construction site, and said, "Marshal, the Dai County side should have already acted, why don't we join?"

Zhou Yi glanced at him and said, "The battle of Daixian, don't even think about joining, our credit is enough, we have to leave soup for others to drink."

Peng Chong said reluctantly: "That's a mouthful of soup, that's a piece of fat, more than 50,000 people."

Zhou Yi smiled bitterly and said, "This is the order of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and our task is to obey the instructions of the acting king. What the Acting King asked us to do was to seize the city and block the logistical supply of the Yu army."

Peng Chong shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "We did a good job in this task, and it was unexpectedly good."

Zhou Yi nodded and responded, "And at this time, if we set off again, we won't be able to catch up, at this time, the acting king should have already led the sixth army and the eighth army to surround the Youjun army."

As Zhou Yi said, at this time, Yan Wuhuan, the prince of Youguo, was already panicking, and the matter had to start with that war letter.

After Duan Yilu left the camp with 20,000 troops, Yan Wuhuan received a war letter sent from Dai County.

The content of the war book is very simple, the king of Tang led the defenders of Dai County out of the city to fight to the death with the Youjun. The winner wins everything, and the loser has nothing.

Prince Zhan Shi He Lin admonished: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, this pseudo-Tang Dynasty king has been holding on to Dai County for so many days, and he has not said that he is going to go out of the city for a decisive battle, but now he has sent someone to send a war letter, I am afraid that there is fraud in it......

Pei Kai interrupted what He Lin wanted to say next: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the last general doesn't think so, although the Tang army has been defending the city these days, it has also suffered heavy casualties, and now the number of soldiers in the city is full, less than 30,000. The walls of Daixian County were almost destroyed by us. Once they have no walls, they are no different from lambs to the slaughter. So this dying throes are nothing unusual."

Liu Mu talked about the necessity of a decisive battle from the logistical supply of the Youjun army, and only heard him say, "His Royal Highness the Prince, when the city is lost, the supply of grain and grass is lost. If you want to hide the whole army in the short term, you can still do it. After a long time, once the soldiers knew that the grain and grass were gone, the morale would also be gone. If the army loses morale, there is no way to fight. Therefore the last general thinks that he should fight."

Although He Lin wanted to refute, the loss of grain and grass was too fatal. If you can't get results in the short term, for a long time, it's not good. In this respect, the only way out is to fight.

Yan Wuhuan didn't hesitate for long, he stood up, looked outside the tent of the Chinese army, and said loudly, "Then fight!" We must win this battle!"

"!!"

The next morning, in the summer of June, the wind in Daibei was very warm. There is a large peach forest in the south of Dai County, and the trees are hung with yellow-green fruits.

The green fields are vast, and all kinds of wild grasses are mixed on the field paths, growing luxuriantly, and when the wind blows, the air is filled with the smell of earthy grass and trees.

Such a scenery has a strong sense of separation from the slaughter in the north of Daixian, and under the same sky, it seems like two worlds.

Song Shilun observed the reactions of the people around him without a trace, and the acting king Wang Bo was expressionless, but his back was straight, and this subtle movement exposed his nervousness.

The nervousness of Captain Wang Bo and Qin Bing was written on his face, perhaps a young relationship.

Tang and You's armies were not in a hurry to approach, Wang Bo stood on the hillside, looking down at the large array ahead, on the Daibei Plain, he saw the entire battle situation so clearly for the first time, every soldier, every detail fell into his eyes.

Tang Junpang

A large queue stretched in front of him, and the Phantom Army in the distance was even larger. The two sides began to line up, and it had been more than two quarters of an hour.

In the morning, as soon as the morning dawned, Wang Bo called people to beat the morning drum, let people bury the pot to make food, and after the Tang army soldiers were full of food and drink, they began to prepare for battle.

Of course, Wang Bo understands the importance of this battle, and he also understands in his heart that the only thing he can rely on is the 30,000 Tang Army in his hands, as long as he drags the Youjun here, after the Sixth Army and the Eighth Army support it, there is only one ending for this Youjun, that is, death.

Although it was not the first time that he had commanded such a battle of tens of thousands of people, Wang Bo's palms were still sweating, and his left hand was tightly gripping the hilt of the knife.

When the sun rose in the east and the sun shone on the field, Wang Bo saw that the overwhelming banners of the Youjun army on the opposite side, far exceeding the number of the Tang army, were slowly moving away and lining up.

Wang Bo's nervousness reached the extreme, and he didn't have a perfect plan to break the enemy in his heart.

Last night, he discussed with Song Shilun and other generals in the army for a long time, and after arguing for a long time, he came to the conclusion that it was...... Hit directly!

In the battle of tens of thousands of people, the strategy and strategy are often inexperienced and easy to use, and the generals of the Tang Army, including Song Shilun, feel that it is safest to use the Glaive Formation, which the Tang Army is best at.

All the generals felt that it was right to fight like this, and Wang Bo also nodded and felt that it was feasible. At the beginning in Liangzhou, he relied on such tactics to break Qin's eyes.

To put it bluntly, this kind of fighting is based on the fact that the two wings must have elite soldiers that the enemy can't resist, many of the Tang Army under Wang Bo are veterans of a hundred battles, and the officers and men of the first and second divisions of the Tenth Army are all elite soldiers who have returned from the battlefield in Guanzhong, and they can be arranged on both wings, and the specific arrangement was discussed in the palace last night.

But now Wang Bo climbed to the high ground behind the army formation and saw that the army on the opposite side was crowded with people, and the number far exceeded them.

From east to west, a large number of ghost troops are constantly lining up. The two armies were more than a mile apart, and from a distance, Wang Bo could see each other's movements very clearly.

The front-line infantry was horizontally arranging their horses to resist horses, and many soldiers were arranged dozens of paces in front of the large formation with leather bags wrapped in iron thistles. Obviously, the Youjun was very afraid of the cavalry of the Tang Army......

There were more and more ghost troops on the opposite side, and slowly, the slightly raised hill behind him was also full of people, almost beyond his field of vision.

The army lined up from east to west was divided into ten phalanxes, mixed in foot and horse, and the figures were moving, like a giant dragon slowly wriggling across the plains and wilderness, and a sense of oppression came to the face.

Song Shilun, who had been following Wang Bo's side, and was on the high ground behind the army, gradually changed his face.

He said worriedly to Wang Bo, "Marshal, this ghost army is pouring out, there are too many of them, I'm afraid it's not easy to fight......

Wang Bo did not respond to Song Shilun, his heart was beating wildly, but he was very calm on the surface. After so many battles, he has long understood that the words and deeds of the main general can affect the entire army, no matter how nervous and scared he is in his heart, he must not mess up in the first place, and pretend not to move like a mountain.

Wang Bo's eyes remained motionless and stared at the large array of the Ghost Army in the distance, watching them continue to assemble, and his face became more and more strange.

Wang Bo found a very strange thing, the number of the Youjun army is indeed very large, the crowd is crowded, and the fields in the north are full of their people, but ...... They don't seem to have reserves, huh?

Twelve huge phalanxes had been assembled in front of the Youjun army, mixed with infantry and cavalry, and the soldiers in the rear were still replenishing forward.

Wang Bo raised his hand and pointed at Youjun and asked Song Shilun, "Did you find anything wrong? What's going on with this ghostly army?"

Song Shilun heard Wang Bo's inquiry, and quickly focused, staring at the dispatch of the Youjun army in the distance.

Why do tens of thousands of armies need reserves? Since ancient times, in addition to a few local advantages in battle formations, the biggest problem is the difficulty of supporting each phalanx!

Just like the ghost army on the opposite side, the east-west front spread out at this time is at least more than two miles. If the left wing collapses, the soldiers on the right flank need to run a thousand meters in armor if they want to support! That also supports a yarn, tired to death. Even the cavalry could not be put in support in time.

At such times, only the reserves in the rear can be replenished in time to the areas where the war is tight.

The 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Tang Army invested only two-thirds of their forces, and the remaining one-third were arranged in the flanks and rear, so that they could support at any time and, if necessary, wait for an opportunity to attack around the rear.

It can be seen that the meaning of the ghost army on the other side seems to be to put all the soldiers at the forefront......

Wang Bo sneered, "Does the prince of Youguo want to eat them all in one bite? What a toad yawns, what a fucking breath!"

Song Shilun said: "Military commander, maybe the prince of Youguo feels that he has an absolute advantage in troops, and he is sure of victory at any point on the battle line, so he disdains to keep reserves?"

When Wang Bo heard Song Shilun's words, he suddenly became a little angry, and snorted coldly: "This is not to take me, the acting king, in his eyes."

By the time the sun had fully risen, the sun was shining on the vast fields north of Dai County, and the crops had already been trampled into dirt by the army.

Wang Bo saw that the moving figures in the ghost army on the opposite side gradually settled down, and the deployment of the army was basically completed.

Their large array was divided into twelve phalanxes, several miles from east to west, the phalanx was a mixture of infantry and cavalry, cavalry in front, infantry in the rear, armor looked the best, and the most elite troops were located on the right flank of the army.

Because the dominant hand of a person is the right hand, and the soldiers who can exert the most combat effectiveness in a fight are the soldiers on the right flank of the army, when arranging the formation, most of the time the most elite soldiers will be placed on the right flank to give full play to their combat effectiveness.

Wang Bo tried his best to look at the rear of the Youjun array, and saw that they really didn't leave any reserves! All the forces were thrown into the front line!

There are a lot of people in the Youjun, a lot!

Wang Bo couldn't count the number of people, but he only knew that there were too many more than Tang Jun. He was a little unclear for a while, whether the prince of Youguo was too confident or didn't know how to fight at all.

But no matter what, the ghost army does not leave reserves, and it is already a fact that all the main forces are thrown into the battlefield at once!

Wang Bo took a deep breath, his heart was pounding, his hand was holding the whip tightly, looking at the formation of Youjun, he suddenly had a bold idea!

"Herald!"

"Yes!"

A few heralds who had been following him closely replied.

Wang Bo raised his horsewhip and lit one, and ordered, "Go and call all the commanders and masters to me, and this king has something to explain!"

Soon, the herald galloped away, and the three division commanders and three division horses also rushed from their respective large formations.

When Wang Bo saw them, he said eagerly, "The situation is urgent, and I will make a long story short, the reserves of the 2nd and 3rd Divisions have all moved to the left flank and lined up, and they are followed by the 1st Division, and Jun Sima personally supervises them; The 2nd and 3rd Divisions were only lined up in ten columns, stretching the battle line to more than one mile......

When Wang Bo finished explaining, the lord looked at him in surprise, but he didn't question it, and nodded to execute.

Wang Bo saw that the Tang army in front of him began to mobilize, and thought with a long breath: Fuck it, now you can only fight!
