Chapter 151: The Last Battlefield

The two battles initiated by the coalition forces of various states, whether it was the emptiness inside Shaohua Mountain or the emergency rush to the aid of Shangzhou soldiers and horses, did not find out the enemy's reality and did not confirm it, and the results were not suspenseful, and they all ended in failure.

And it ended in a fiasco!

It is no wonder that the officialdom of the Song Dynasty was rampant with corrupt officials and infiltrated all aspects. Even the army is no exception, and the number of species is surprising.

This is the case with Zhao Neng and Zhao Dujian who were caught last night.

The regimental training envoys and soldiers and horses of various states, such as Huang Ren, the commander of soldiers and horses in Gyeongju, saw that the situation was not good, and they also left the army and ran away. In the other regimental exercises, the capital eunuchs were also the same, running faster than anyone else, anxious like a lost dog, vast like a fish that slipped through the net, and led the remnants of the defeated generals to flee into Huazhou City.

In such a count, there were more than four or five thousand people in the ten battalions of the forbidden army in each state, and after the two battles, the forbidden army was less than a thousand, and the officers and soldiers of Huazhou were trembling in the city! Looking at the team of Shaohua Mountain outside the city, they chased after them, dismantled the tents, accepted the military weapons, and shrank their heads one by one, and no one dared to face the battle.

Although the strongmen come and go fast in Huashan, there is no intention of attacking the city. Huazhou Liu Taishou, Li Dujian lost his soul and was completely desperate.

So far, most of the army transferred by the imperial court from the surrounding state capitals has been lost. The funny thing is that Zhao Tan, the general appointed by the imperial court, is still on the way to come. It really happened that the generals were not in place, and the army had been defeated.

The only remaining fruit is the Yan'an army.

The soldier who came to report the news was indeed the personal entourage of Wu Bi, the commander of the soldiers and horses, and it was a good strategy to attack from both sides, but there was no forbidden army to follow to support. They were afraid of losing their men and horses, and they were afraid of death, so they ignored them.

Zhu Wu has long been

After thinking about these people thoroughly, they did not arrange ambushes in the first place. Now that the reinforcements from all walks of life have been solved, their eyes are set on the northern battlefield.

Let's talk about the war over there.

The spear Shang Ranwei led the most elite 2,000 cavalry and 1,000 infantry of the cottage to the north. These 3,000 men are all the most well-equipped after the last bloody battle. Only this elite can compete with the Yan'an Mansion and the border army.

In fact, as early as three days ago, Shang Ranwei led the team to confront and clash with the opponent.

It's not that the Shang leader doesn't want to ambush or sneak attack, but he can't do it. Not to mention that Xin Congzhong, who has suffered losses and knows how powerful, is as cunning as a fox. Even Wu Yu, the soldier and horse supervisor sent by Yan'an Prefecture, was also born in the Western Army of Qinfeng Road. A veteran of more than 10 years in the army, he has rich experience in marching and fighting.

Although Shang Ranwei, who became a monk halfway and joined the army, was bold and open in military concepts and belonged to the young Zhuang faction who dared to fight and fight, there was a big gap compared with this battlefield general. What's more, there are still two people gathered on the other side.

If it weren't for the initiative and geographical advantage, if it wasn't for his own martial arts. The fighting generals in front of the battle have repeatedly frustrated the morale of the opponent, and they are afraid that they will really not be able to stop the opponent.

The Nanchuan River is more than ten miles to the south, and between the two peaks, there are hundreds of meters apart on open land. On a slope tens of meters high rises a camp, made of sharpened wood to form a fence wall, equipped with a lot of equipment to defend the city.

Shang Ranwei led three thousand elites to be stationed here, and he did not block the way, nor did he send a patrol team, but looked down on the surroundings condescendingly.

Seven or eight miles away is Yan'an Mansion, the camp of the Xincongzhong coalition army, there are only pieces of military tents, there are horses in front and on the left and right, and there are no fences.

The terrain occupied by Shaohua Mountain is too good, and it is right there

You can keep an eye on your surroundings at every turn. There is no need to block the way, as long as the opponent wants to pass through this canyon, he can pounce at any time and cause the opponent to suffer heavy losses.

Therefore, the number of officers and soldiers is superior, but they dare not move around. The camp is located in an open field, and it is impossible to make a surprise attack by climbing over the mountains.

If you take a detour, whether it is left or right, walk for at least seven or eight more days. It will even be followed by the strongmen of Shaohua Mountain, which will take longer and cause heavy losses.

Therefore, if you don't pull out this nail for a day, you won't be able to pass safely to Huazhou for a day. The easiest way is to break the opponent's rush first.

However, there are few strongmen in Huashan who are well-trained and well-equipped, and they are not willing to fight hard. Dried up like this, Xin Congzhong had a headache for his old opponent. Wu Yu, the soldier and horse supervisor of Yan'an Mansion, saw the cunning of the strongman and sighed.

He hadn't seen Wang Jin, but he had heard of the head of the forbidden army in Tokyo City. said that he was strong in martial arts, and he took refuge in Yan'an Mansion, and there were many officers who knew about it. He Wu Yu is no exception, but he is a little unimpressed. Is there still a shortage of leaders in the forbidden army? What can a small head coach do?

Not to mention that the two generals of the imperial court pondered a good strategy to break the enemy.

Shang Ranwei was also not idle, not only sending minions to strengthen the defense of the camp, but also reporting the situation to the base camp and asking for help. It's just that the two sides are under pressure for a few days of confrontation, and the opposite side sends people to try to attack from time to time, and sometimes they will kill in the middle of the night, and they are a group of difficult opponents.

Shang Ranwei always felt that the other party had an ulterior plan, but he couldn't guess it and couldn't figure it out. The minions can only be ordered to strengthen their vigilance and prepare for a bloody battle. As long as the enemy is held back, waiting for the state ban army to be resolved is a victory.

Fierce general, rush

Front-end.

The general is the overall situation.

For the handsome, strategize, and win thousands of miles.

Shang Ranwei remembered what Wang Jin said, and he was also so strict with himself. In a few days, the four thousand elites of the imperial court were not allowed to advance in the same place.

And last night, the dawn of victory finally came!

A carrier pigeon flew in, bringing news of several great victories and reinforcements.

It's just that in the middle of the day, there was a sudden movement among the officers and soldiers on the opposite side. A thousand cavalry and a thousand infantry advanced in alternating phalanxes, not fast but murderous. There were people in the rear carrying a series of rudimentary ladders to attack.

The officers and men stopped three miles away to rectify and bury the pot to make rice.

Shang Ranwei really wanted to lead the cavalry to rush down directly and defeat the opponent in one fell swoop. However, the forbidden army still had thousands of cavalry and did not show up, so they resisted their impulses. I guess this is a bait, if I lead the charge I will be ambushed.

Shang Ranwei's caution is right, this is the other party's plan to lure the enemy. Putting the bait and not eating it, Wu Yu gritted his teeth, just waiting for the choice of attacking.

As the morning sun rose, the war drums beat in the camp of the forbidden army. The well-fed Forbidden Army moved, and the cavalry, divided into several formations, made a surprise attack from the front. The infantry divided into two roads, carrying ladders, one left and one right, climbed the siege.

Shang Ranwei looked at the forbidden army that was in a state of encirclement, and knew that the other party was really moving. Yelling boosts morale and prepares the soldiers around him for battle.

"Kill, brothers, rush!"

The forbidden army shouted slogans and charged towards the camp at a faster and faster speed. The condescending Shaohua Mountain minions were a little nervous and excited, some were holding stones, some were carrying rolling logs, and the crossbowmen were full of arrows on their bows......

Near, close, the forbidden army is coming!

When the two sides are three hundred paces away

, that is, open the bow and shoot at each other. The swishing sound continued, the arrows were like flying locusts, and the camp was condescendingly dominant. The effective range of the bow and crossbow was longer and more powerful, and the Forbidden Army was the first to suffer a large number of casualties, and as the distance was closed, people on both sides were hit by arrows one after another and fell.

The rain of arrows was suspended, and the front row of the forbidden army held shields, braving the stones and rolling logs thrown from above, and people were constantly shot in the head, some were hit by arrows, and even boiling water was splashed down......

Under this covering blow, the screams were incessant. The Forbidden Army fell in pieces, but no one retreated. Everyone marched forward and shouted loudly to kill.

When the cavalry had finished their formation, they charged along the gentle slopes of the camp in a wedge-shaped formation. There were few guards at the fence gate, and Huashan minions yelled and dropped the rolling logs. Rolling faster and faster along the slope, many war horses and horses had their legs broken, and people turned over on their backs, but the cavalry behind was fearless and continued to charge. He even took out his portable crossbow to fight back, and one by one the minions were shot.

From a distance, the camp was getting closer and closer, the fence gate was opened, and the horses' hooves were heard, and a group of cavalry also rushed out, colliding with the forbidden army and strangling together......
