Chapter 134 Mutual Planning
On the day of the battle, a few traces of fish belly white had just been revealed in the eastern sky, and the glow was hidden behind. However, the Jingzhou military camp was already full of people, auxiliary soldiers and firemen were running back and forth, hundreds of stoves were lit with smoke, and the foot soldiers were eating refined rice and fish fillets, for fear that they would not be able to eat after today.
The second drum sounded, and the sergeants of each battalion prepared armor and weapons and assembled under the banner.
According to the battlefield information obtained in the morning, Liu Bei summoned the generals to make new arrangements for the military formation.
Liu Bei has fought for nearly 20 years, the Hu people have fought, the Yellow Turban Army has fought, and Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, these princes' armies have also fought against each other, he can't say that he is talented, but he is not bad. In commanding a 10,000-person legion battle, Liu Bei has long been at his fingertips, such as Xuzhou to attack Liu Dai and Wang Zhong; Runan beheaded Cai Yang; Bowang broke Xiahou, all of which were his famous strokes.
The three-way drum sounded, and the generals who got Liu Bei's latest military order returned to the army, and then left the camp.
Liu Bei and Liu Qi rode in chariots together, and the army marched on the Zheshui Plain, bordering Zheshui in the south and looking at the mountains in the north along the way.
After about two quarters of an hour, the glow is already ten thousand feet, brilliant and beautiful, and people can't help but immerse themselves in it. However, in this tourist attraction of later generations, there will be battlefield soldiers.
The people neighed, and several rangers galloped back.
"Report! Lord, three miles ahead, our army discovered the enemy formation and engaged the enemy scouts, each with casualties. General Zhao suggested that the main battle should be announced to Xu Jin, so as not to rush into battle. ”
"Good!"
"Order, set up!"
"No!"
Under Liu Bei's military order, the Jingzhou sergeants marching in the queue were divided into three armies, the front and the left. The front army was led by Zhang Fei, the right Linzheshui was commanded by Wen Ping, Liu Pan was in charge of the left army, and Zhao Yun led the cavalry to be on the flank of the left army.
Before the formation, according to the terrain of the battlefield, Liu Bei had already seen the calculations of Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, the south of Zhejiang water flowed through, the north of the hills were undulating, and there were only the fields in the north of Zhejiang along the way.
Then Sun Quan and Zhou Yu will start from the flat field in order to break through the Jingzhou military formation, just as Liu Bei will start from the flat field in order to break through the Jiangdong military formation, and they will generally only start from the Zheshui River Beach.
The terrain of the Zheshui River Beach is narrow, the river beach is rugged, and it is difficult for the cavalry to line up, and it is the place where the foot soldiers are fierce. If Jiangdong wants to defeat the Jingzhou army, it is best to start from the river beach in the south, and beware of the cavalry charging in the north.
Of course, Liu Bei can guess the intention of Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu can naturally guess it, after all, it is fundamental for the two armies to consider the geographical formation in battle. Now it will be up to us to see which soldier is brave and can realize his strategic intentions.
As the military formation unfolded, the sound of military trumpets sounded, and the Jiangdong Army gradually approached. As Liu Bei expected, Cheng Pudu, who had a calm temperament, commanded the cavalry and faced Liu Pan's left army; Dong attacked the middle army and confronted Zhang Fei; The left army was led by Chen Wu, a native of Lujiang, and governed the Lujiang Shangjia, the elite soldiers of the five schools, and fought against Wenpin.
"Boom!"
Facing the sun, dozens of wrestlers beat the big drum in the cold wind, and the drum surface trembled violently.
"Wan Sheng!"
In the shouts of the mountains and tsunamis, the Jingzhou army advanced forward. The cavalry commanded by Zhao Yun took the lead and circled Cheng Pu's right army to start a temptation.
On the flat field, Zhao Yun led more than 100 people to scatter in a row, holding a longbow in his hand, and when he was close to the army formation of a hundred paces, he shot out.
The arrows sparkled across the sky and fell into the formation. The military formation commanded by Cheng Pu did not panic at all, the spearmen on the flanks were waiting in formation, and the crossbowmen were mixed in, and whenever the cavalry entered the firing range, they fired a salvo with a bow and crossbow, without giving the cavalry a chance to take advantage.
The cavalry commanded by Zhao Yun did not dare to approach the military formation, so he had to ride his horse away. However, at this moment, under the cover of the range of their own army, the Jiangdong cavalry took the opportunity to kill and raid these cavalry archers who wanted to evacuate.
"Whoosh!"
Those horsemen who were good at riding and shooting did not panic at all, and they rode their horses and drew their bows and shots, pulling the Jiangdong cavalry. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen Jiangdong cavalry fell off their horses, frightening the remaining cavalry and not daring to approach.
"Withdraw!"
The Jiangdong cavalry could not take advantage, so they turned their horses and wanted to return to the army. How could the riding archers let them go, and chased after them.
Zhao Yun shot two Jiangdong horsemen with his bow left and right, and when he saw that he was approaching the range of the crossbowmen, he shouted: "Retreat, don't pursue." ”
The cavalry archers who pursued above did not hear Zhao Yun's shouts, and more than 20 horsemen followed the Jiangdong cavalry. Entering the firing range, suddenly, more than 100 arrows flew out from the Jiangdong army formation, shooting at the cavalry archers from the left and right sides.
"Ahh
Several horsemen were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, and some horses were also rushed around. The cavalry archers above calmed down and shouted to each other to return to the army, and more than a hundred arrows flew out again, shooting down the cavalry before they successfully retreated.
In a few breaths, Sun Liu was killed and injured on the horse. Cheng Pu relied on his old and spicy experience and familiarity with the combat methods of cavalry warfare to contain the cavalry commanded by Zhao Yun.
"Phew~"
Zhao Yun rode his horse and looked at Cheng Pu's military formation, and shouted: "Half of the people dismount to rest, and half of them are on guard with bows." ”
"No!"
Cheng Pu, who was sitting on the flank, saw Zhao Yun arranging it like this, and sneered and ordered: "When the two armies are fighting, reject the horse on the flank, and insert a spear in preparation for the cavalry. ”
Cheng Pu was born in Youbeiping, and he is most familiar with the Hu people's riding style. Zhao Yun's move is obviously a strategy to lure the enemy, and it also has a strategy to consume the enemy's energy. Then consume each other's energy and see who can consume whom.
Just when Zhao Yun led his cavalry to attack and disturb the flank army formation, Sun and Liu's armies were already fighting head-on.
"Archery!"
Countless arrows flew out of the formations of the two armies, and a sharp whistling sound sounded in the air, and then crackled and smashed into the formations of the two armies.
Under the rain of arrows shot by the Jingzhou army, the Jiangdong army infantry in the front row suffered many casualties, and the corpses fell to the ground, and the red blood flowed out of the wounds, staining the ground red. However, the rain of arrows could not stop their footsteps, and under the command of the generals and colonels of various departments, they killed the Jingzhou military formation.
"Kill the thief!"
The Jingzhou army infantry met without fear, and reached out the spear in his hand to stab the Jiangdong soldier.
The shield walls collided, and the spears poked at each other. In the chaotic battlefield, only to hear the swords and slashes, spears and spears, armor shattered and flew, all kinds of wails, curses poured into the cochlea of the people. Fuel the adrenaline of the crowd and make it bloodthirsty and crazy.
Under the command of Chen Wu, the elite soldiers of Lujiang arranged by Zhou Yu launched a fierce attack on the Wenpin army array.
The people of Jianghuai are brave and good at fighting, and they are impatient in human nature, regard death as home, and fight and deceive, and they have been the source of first-class soldiers in all dynasties.
The soldiers of Beifu were rampant, with Jianghuai as the source of soldiers, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty was able to win the water; Tang is brave and brave, Jianghuai people give the country with force, and those who are good at bows are in the army; In the chaos at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang joined forces with the Huai Xiwu people, drove out the Tartars, and rebuilt China, all relying on Jianghuai soldiers and horses.
There are many Jianghuai warriors in the Jiangdong army, Sun Ce led the Jianghuai people to set Jiangdong, Kelujiang County, Liu Xun, Yuan Shu old soldiers, selected elite, divided into five schools, with Chen Wu as the governor, several grams of strong enemies, forward.
Zhou Yu arranged Chen Wu's headquarters next to the Linzhejiang River, hoping to take advantage of the unfavorable terrain for cavalry battles to let the Lujiang soldiers break through the right formation of the Jingzhou army, so as to defeat Liu Bei and Liu Qi.
After a fierce battle, Zhou Tai led hundreds of brave warriors into the Wenpin phalanx. These brave and unusually brave Lujiang armor soldiers took advantage of the gap in the military formation, used the weight of themselves and the armor to hit the enemy, and jumped into the formation with swords and shields in hand. Violently erupted, swept left and right with a sword, and broke through the Jingzhou military formation.
I have to say that Sun Quan's performance aroused the fighting spirit of the generals, they are also bloody people, they are the kindness of the Sun family, if they can't fight with their lives, what kind of face do they have to see Sun Jian and Sun Ce. Not to mention that their interests are bound to the Sun family, and the defeat of the Sun family means their defeat.
It didn't take long for the onslaught of the Lujiang armor soldiers, and Zhou Tai's troops were jumping soldiers, and under their life-fighting battles, the Wenpin army formation was slightly shaken. However, fortunately, Liu Bei had already arranged it, and arranged the elite of the troops in the Wenpin Army.
When Zhou Tai was fighting left and right in the military formation, he happened to bump into Wei Yan, who was leading his troops to support.
Wei Yan was valued by Liu Bei for his outstanding performance in the matter of Tanxi, and he repeatedly made military exploits, and was promoted to a military candidate because of his bravery.
Without saying a word, Zhou Tai and Wei Yan fought in close quarters.
In the evening, a chapter and two in one, will be released before about 11 o'clock.
