Chapter 113: Decisive Battle for the World

On the second day, Wei Changqing, the general soldier of Heluo, led the army into the territory of Ganzhou, and the 50,000 troops pressed under the border town pass of Ganzhou, and the gate of the pass was still closed. The governor of Naganzhou overlooked the army of black pressure on the tower of the border pass, and saw Wei Changqing rushing forward, and he did not call for battle, but looked straight at the people in the city pass.

He knew that the governor of Nagan Prefecture was on it.

A moment later, the gates creaked open.

Wei Changqing waved his horsewhip, and 50,000 Daning officers and soldiers lined up in formation and walked into Ganzhou Chengguan in turn.

The governor of Ganzhou, who was above the city pass, had no choice but to sigh and be helpless.

Ganzhou is so big that it can be regarded as a vast and vast place, but the Dacheng army of 100,000 horses and horses is extremely difficult to hide. Soon, the 50,000-strong army led by Wei Changqing found the army of King Cheng Li Dong.

The two armies camped less than ten miles apart.

Between the two camps, a vast expanse of flying sand and gravel.

Early in the morning of the second day, the sky was foggy, Li Dong led 80,000 Dacheng troops to the east along the array, the front suddenly opened up, the Dacheng army had not yet opened the formation, and saw from a distance that there was a military horse standing with the camp on its back in the west, and a large banner with the character of Wei slowly stretched in the early morning breeze.

"Look, the king, it must be the military formation of the official army!" someone in the Dacheng army shouted.

Li Dong looked away, and after a rough calculation, the number of people was only 20,000, no matter how wise he Wei Changqing was, 20,000 against 80,000, there was no chance of winning.

Li Dong smiled and said: "If you want to break the cauldron and fight against the water, hehe, Wei Changqing, you are too underestimated that I am a big army." ”

Li Dong gave an order, and King Cheng's army turned to the south, facing the Daning army formation, five hundred steps in front of the Xiliang army formation, forming a huge phalanx, and the momentum was extremely huge.

"King, it's better to be careful, it's early in the morning, the fog has not cleared, and there may be an ambush. "There is humanity in the army.

Li Dong nodded, and said: "Although Wei Changqing is powerful, but at this moment 20,000 horses are standing in formation, there are spies to report, the officers and troops who entered Ganzhou this time are claimed to be 50,000, but in fact there may not be 30,000, and now there are 20,000 fighting with camps on their backs, violating the art of war, don't take the opportunity to eat the officers and soldiers at this time, let alone when!" Li Dong said again: "Our army needs a victory too much!"

Everyone thought that this was indeed the case, and they didn't say more, the officials and soldiers were inferior in numbers at the moment, and they stood with their backs to the camp, and they were cut off from the back, it seemed that Wei Changqing would be defeated this time.

Li Dong ordered: "Attack!"

The Daesung military formation began to advance.

On the side of the Daning Army, the Weizi banner stood in the array, fluttering in the wind, at this moment, the war drums sounded, and the Daning Army put on a goose-shaped formation.

After a while, the Daning officers and soldiers began to release arrows.

The goose-shaped array is conducive to the output of bows and arrows.

The Dacheng army was ready to brave the arrows from the Xiliang army's formation to three hundred steps away from the Daning army, however, a sudden loud noise surprised Li Dong.

The Daning army moved out the muskets, and the muskets in the front row were set up, and the back row continued to make up for them, firing three rounds in a row, which made the people charging in the Dacheng army complain.

When the two armies were 100 paces apart, the Daning military drum changed, the goose-shaped array turned into an arc moon array, the officers and soldiers shouted, the front row showed their shields, and the spears moved forward, ready to meet the enemy.

At this time, the archers in the back row were still holding their arrows, but the elevation angle of the arrows was flatter.

Meet at close quarters.

The two armies fought bloodily, and the shouts of killing shook the sky!

The shield array of the Daning official army stood still, but the spears kept stabbing at the soldiers of the Dacheng army.

The Dacheng army had no way to do it, and was at a loss in front of the shield array of the official army.

The battle reached a stalemate, Li Dong struggled to lead the army to kill, hoping to tear a hole in the defense line of the Daning official army, the Dacheng army has 80,000 horses, facing 20,000 officers and troops, it seems that this is a matter of time, and in order to deal with Li Dong's huge phalanx, the Daning army arc formation, there is no depth, it must not be able to support for long.

However, Li Dong's idea is too optimistic,

He didn't expect that the endurance of the officers and troops would be so long-lasting, and they would not be able to attack for a long time, even in the face of absolute numerical superiority, these Daning officers and troops did not show the slightest sign of retreating. Although, for a while, the casualties were already very heavy.

Wei Changqing commanded Ruoding, and the perseverance in his eyes seemed to be waiting for something.

Finally, when the fog cleared in the early morning, the Dacheng army camp in the distance sent a message that the Dacheng army camp had been captured by Wei Changqing.

Li Dong shouted: "What?"

He knew that at this moment, the most important thing he couldn't mess with was the army's heart, and he also knew that Wei Changqing really had reservations, and he actually left other troops to sneak attack the camp.

It turned out that Wei Changqing had already calculated that there was fog in the early morning, so he thundered the war drums early in the morning and made an appointment with the Dacheng army, and the Dacheng army had a numerical advantage, so it was even more unscrupulous, and the whole army pounced, and only some old, weak, sick and disabled were left in the camp, and Wei Changqing sent all the cavalry in the army to bypass the thick fog and attack the camp of the Dacheng army from the other side.

Li Dong also understood that his opportunity at this moment was only to fight to the death with Wei Changqing, even if the battalion was robbed, as long as he took Wei Changqing's own formation in one go, the officers and cavalry behind him would not be worried.

However, who knew that Wei Changqing, who was at this moment, suddenly sent someone to shout in the military array: "The camp of the Dacheng army has been robbed, and the Dacheng army has been defeated!

With this shout, the hearts of the Dacheng army were shaken.

In an instant, some signs of instability began.

Li Dong tried his best to command, but it was still useless, seeing that the morale of the army had changed greatly, and the composition of these people in the Dacheng Army was mostly refugees who fled all the way with him, and they were not professional soldiers.

However, what they are facing at the moment is that the elite of Daning not only have muskets, but also cavalry, as well as a commander who is determined and thoughtful.

"Cangtian, is the cause of the Dacheng Army about to be ruined?" Li Dong knew in his heart how such a Dacheng Army would behave when the army's morale was weakened.

As expected, when the Daning army sounded the horn of the counterattack, a large number of men and horses of the Dacheng army had already begun to flee.
