On the morning of the first day of May, it rained lightly again at dawn, and the water vapor was like smoke. The Han army attacked Yuan Shu's army in Yangdi.
Before dawn, the Han army had completed its formation. Liu Bei left Zhang Fei's troops in Pishan to monitor Wu Jing's army south of Ru River. The main force continued to advance eastward, between the headquarters camp of Yuan Shu's army and the Zhennan general Ji Ling's army.
At this moment, the sky was dim and bright, and Yuan Shu's army was very frightened when he saw the Bafu army lying between the two camps. In the camp, there were golden drums and archers on the left, and the archers were all on the archery tower, and the wooden fences were densely packed in the wooden fence, preparing to resist the battle.
Liu Bei was not in a hurry to attack the camp, but ordered ten thousand people in his army to have breakfast. The breakfast was prepared in the middle of the night and was taken away, and it was still warm when it was taken out. During the breakfast, the Han army was in a state of panic.
The hot air is blown up by the summer wind and drifts eastward, like morning smoke. The yellow flags of Jinyang Bafu are all flying eastward. You can see a black flag with a red background and a width of more than ten feet, with Teng Yun embroidered on it.
Feihu, this is Liu Xuande’s formation.
It was already past Mao hour, and the west wind became stronger, and the Han army's eastward troops began to move. They rotated southward, from the direction eastward to Yuan Shu's camp diagonally to the southwest. Liu Bei's camp was originally in the center.
Moving rapidly eastward, with loud drumbeats, and protected by cavalry on both wings and the rear, the Bafu infantry began to attack Ji Ling's army on the mountain road.
The archers of the Bafu Army were in front, spread out in a dense horizontal row, and behind them were the heavily armored sergeants holding long swords. They rushed towards the Ji Ling Army together. Before they could reach the arrow range, the arrows flew towards the Ji Ling Army like rain. At this time,
The west wind was very strong, and the Bafu army's arrows flew down the wind and hit the wooden fence like raindrops. The archers of Yuan Shu's army who originally threw themselves on the wooden fence were unable to keep up with the enemy because of the headwind. In order to save their lives, they could only
They abandoned Muzha and retreated towards the camp. Even the archers of Yuan Shu's army who were originally in the high-rise archery tower were unable to withstand the hail of arrows. They were either shot or rolled and crawled to the ground to escape.<
/p>
With the help of the west wind and the thunderous drums, the Han army rained arrows on Ji Lingjun's head. After a while, the soldiers approached the wooden fence and began to set fire to it, and black smoke billowed in.
, all floated towards the panicked Ji Lingjun behind. Seeing that the Han army was about to attack Ji Ling's camp.
Fortunately, Ji Ling had met Ji Ling the day before and had prepared a lot of defense equipment in the camp. Objects such as rolling logs, iron pear trees, flying rocks, etc. all poured down from the hillside. Although they retreated continuously for a while, they were not
Falling into decline. Ji Ling sent officers to stabilize the front, while loudly announcing: As long as the Chinese army camp launches an attack and flanks the rebel army on the left and right, we will definitely win! This gradually stabilized the morale of the army.
When the Han army appeared, the frightened generals in the formation hurriedly gathered outside Yuan Shu's tent to listen to orders. They were surprised to find that the lord did not raise the tent in time. When he asked the military officials on duty, everyone agreed.
He hesitated and hesitated to speak. After repeated questioning, someone pointed to the messy cups that could be seen faintly in the tent and said: "The general was drinking and composing poems with all the celebrities last night. He was very drunk and was still sleeping in the tent."
The generals were shocked when they heard this. The crowd was leaderless and made a mess.
Sun Bi, the governor of Yuzhou, was furious when he saw this. He rushed into the tent, kicked the eucalyptus into the cup, and cursed: "What's surprising? Without the general, you won't be able to fight?" He left the tent.
Nei brought a hut, stepped on it, and shouted loudly at the chaotic people: "Don't panic, everyone. We all led our headquarters and went out to beat the Liu thief on the back!"
Unexpectedly, no one among the generals responded. They all fell silent for a moment and dispersed outside.
Sun Ben became anxious and shouted to the people who were leaving: "If we don't fight today, are we going to watch the rebel army kill Ji Lingbu and then capture us and make us prisoners here?" No one paid attention.
, he suddenly drew a knife in his hand, jumped off the bed, and grabbed a person beside him who was about to escape. That person was Lei Bo, the prefect of Guangling. Lei Bo was originally a bandit from Yanshan Mountain, and was known for his bravery in the army. p>
Lei Bo saw the shining knife pointed at him, completely unprepared and at a loss. Sun Ben said: "We came with troops, what do we want to do? If we don't fight when we encounter the enemy, wouldn't we be cowards?" Lei Bo couldn't deal with it.
, nodded repeatedly, catered to him and said: "It's time to fight, it's time to fight!"
Sun Ben then let go and said to him: "Brother Lei, I have the Han Dao Army under my tent, which is invincible. However, there are too few cavalry to be a barrier. Your Haoshan Army has always been loved by the general, and you have eight cavalry troops."
Qian, come with me to rescue Ji Ling. The bandits are attacked on both sides, so they will retreat in panic. When the generals see the enemy retreat, they will definitely come out of camp to fight for credit. If we attack together, how difficult will it be to defeat the enemy?"
Seeing that Lei Bo seemed to be moved, he encouraged him again: "Don't forget, when the Kwantung armies did not fight, it was my uncle who insisted on going his own way and almost killed Dong Zhuo in Guangcheng. This is how he gained great fame. Is wealth and fame just for this?
Prepared by mediocre people? How many wars can a man encounter in his life? Don't forget, I still have uncles and brothers on the south bank of Ru River. How long will it take if we don't fight?"
Lei Bo was encouraged by him, nodded repeatedly, and said, "It's worth dying." The two of them made an appointment to summon their own troops and horses to leave the camp.
Sun Ben first boarded the base and carefully observed the Han army's formation. The Bafu army formed from southwest to northeast, suppressing and monitoring the north side of the camp. The part on the east side was diagonally facing the east side of the camp, covering the back with all its strength.
Attack Liu Bei's main formation at Ji Ling Department.
Sun Ben then ordered his men to secretly open the fence on the east side and go out to attack the east wing of the Han army. The front line of Sun Ben's army consisted of more than 4,000 heavy-armored swordsmen with iron pockets, iron cords covering their faces and necks, and thick armor.
Holding long knives, they moved forward densely. Close behind them were sergeants holding knives and holding bows on their backs. These sergeants were both archers and supervisors. If someone was timid in front and wanted to turn around and escape, these men with knives would
They could lift up his armor and stab him to death, or rush up and drag the heavy soldier down, tear off his neck and cut off his head to show to the public. Sun Ben's cavalry was not many, only nearly two thousand, divided on both sides, and with the infantry.
Moving forward together.
After seeing Sun Ben's army attack, the main camp of the formation was inspired by this, and two more troops came out one after another, but Lei Bo's troops were not included. At this moment, he was ascending the archery tower to look at the enemy's situation, and saw the Han army's formation with red flags stretching from west to east.
, Ji Ling Camp in the northeast is filled with black smoke, and Han army sergeants like a swarm of ants have already invaded the camp.
After looking at it, he felt a little timid, shook his head repeatedly, stepped back and said to his deputy Chen Lan: "The enemy is worthy of the king's division. It is so strong. There are nearly 70,000 soldiers in this formation, and only nearly 20,000 are out. I
Bringing his subordinates to help Sun Governor in the battle is like a moth flying into a flame. The battle is bound to be defeated. What is the best way to survive?"
Chen Lan said: "If things get like this today, we will definitely be defeated. Why don't we evacuate early? As long as we can save these eight thousand people, even if the generals behind him escape, there will be nothing we can do. Otherwise, our brothers will die in vain without a burial place."
Forget it, if you are going to be beaten as a traitor by the court, what will you do with your wife and children?"
Lei Bo hesitated and said, "But I agreed to Governor Sun after all. What will happen if he comes to settle accounts with me in the future?" Chen Lan secretly laughed and said, "As a moth to the flame, Governor Sun will surely die. If he dies, who knows that he has an appointment with you, general?"
Ah, the Sun family has not gone out to fight so far, why are you anxious? Even if he is lucky enough to survive and Wang Shi is victorious, it will be too late for him to resist, so how can he settle the score with you?" Lei Bo also laughed, and everyone in the headquarters was shocked.
Abandoning the baggage, he rode out of the camp, turned southeast, and headed straight for the Lujiang River.
Let’s talk about Sun Ce. Since Sun Jian died in battle, the remaining troops have been led by Sun Bi and Wu Jing respectively. As the legitimate son, he is just an ordinary general in the army. But this is not because he is mediocre.
In the past two years, he fought under Yuan Shu, and when he attacked Lujiang and Jiujiang, he always took the lead, killing dozens of enemies with his hands, thereby breaking through the enemy army and seizing the city. He was famous in the army for being able to kill hundreds of people, and was called "Xiang".
Borrow reincarnation.
But because of his outstanding achievements, he was also hostile to Yuan Shu, Wu Jing and others, who were afraid that he would turn against the guest and regain military power, so he was never promoted. In Wu Jing's army, Sun Ce was the vanguard, so he collected the ships in the army.
Two pontoon bridges were built by the Ru River. Once the two armies fought, Wu Jing planned to cross the river from these two pontoon bridges to provide assistance. At this time, the flag of Sun Ben's army had appeared on the battlefield. Wu Jing did not dare to delay and immediately sent orders to all armies to let them
Quickly lead the troops across the river.
But when the generals gathered their troops and horses to cross the river from the pontoon, they discovered a strange scene. Sun Ce's and Zhou Yu's troops moved the camp in front of the pontoon. They had no intention of crossing the river and set up checkpoints in front of the camp.
and antlers. Some officers came forward and asked what it meant and why they didn't just start crossing the river. Deng Dang, who was guarding the card, said calmly: The military secrets are confidential and there is no comment.
Seeing that they could not cross the river, the soldiers in each department did not know why, and a commotion soon broke out. Seeing that Deng Dang could not move, these officers did not dare to fight Sun Ce's army, so they had to send people to find the general Wu Jing. Wu Jing heard that Sun Ce's troops were blocking the way, and
He was so shocked that he immediately rode to the bridge and shouted to Deng Dang: "Da Lang is already fighting a bloody battle on the battlefield. What do you want to do if you are stopping me here? Call Bo Fu out quickly!"
When Sun Ce heard his uncle's voice, Shi Shiran walked out of the camp, rested his antlers, and saluted Wu Jing: "Good morning, uncle."
At such a critical moment, when Wu Jing saw him smiling, his heart suddenly sank and he said angrily: "Bo Fu, what are you planning to do? Do you want to lead me and wait for the entire army to be annihilated?"
Sun Ce looked surprised and said, "Shouldn't everyone understand what I do?" He pointed at the white smoke rising from the camp, and said slowly: "There is a fire burning in my tent, and the soldiers are about to have their meal. Miles!"
"You!"
"Everyone is here, why are you in a hurry? I have been ordered by the general to invite you to have a meal together. Fine wine and meat have been prepared. In addition, there are thousands of troops on the other side to cheer for us. I am afraid that we will have to Are you too drunk to come back?"
After that, Sun Ce showed off the newly issued Seal of Polu General issued by the imperial court. All the generals were shocked and speechless. Taking this opportunity, a few soldiers suddenly tied Wu Jing with ropes, pulled down the horse and dragged him into the camp. Sun Ce seemed to As if he didn't see it, he took out a glass of sake from behind his back and squinted his eyes to listen to the sound of fighting in the distance.
After a while, he smiled at Zhou Yu, who had arrived late, and said, "Gong Jin, can we be blessed with such a good time and beautiful scenery?"
Zhou Yu smiled and ordered someone to bring a seat and a guqin, and played "Qiantang Spring Tide Song" in public. The sound of the music was like waves, and it was obviously raining silk, but it seemed that there was light shining all over the place. Sun Ce stood there tasting wine like a mountain god. , making everyone awe-inspiring and not daring to look at you.
After the song was played, Sun Ce put down his wine cup and sighed: "If a man lives for a hundred years, it will only be in vain if the great army marches northward, clears the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers, and annihilates the powerful army. Between the giant deer and under Pengcheng, no hero in the world dares to look up." A true man lives his whole life!"
