Besides, Wu Zhongjun brought Danyang soldiers from Yangzhou and handed them over to Commander Zhu Ran. Before noon, General Niu Jin of the Han army led his light cavalry up the mountain in a roundabout way. Zhu Ran immediately called on the Danyang soldiers to wear armor and go down the mountain to attack head-on.
The army only encountered a few encounters. With the help of the power of the elephants, the Danyang soldiers defeated the Han army. The scattered Han cavalry fled straight towards the Han infantry.
Zhu Ran summoned his men to return to the battle, and while he was disarming and resting, he allowed the soldiers to eat some dry food. He mounted his horse lightly and took his entourage to the front to observe the enemy's situation. He saw that on the main battlefield on the left, the Han people were all heading down the mountain.
He retreated in confusion, knowing that Lü Meng had commanded the Jingzhou soldiers to repulse the Han army's attack. He felt a little anxious, wondering whether it was time to send out troops. He rushed back to the formation, and happened to meet the envoy sent by Lü Meng who was anxiously waiting for him. Zhu Ran quickly went down.
Horse, grabbed the envoy and asked: "What is the order from the governor?" The envoy said quickly: "The governor asks the general to immediately lead troops to cooperate with the Huainan army to steal the camp!"
After receiving the order, Zhu Ran immediately left the messenger and strode towards the Danyang elites who were resting. Unable to restrain his excitement, he took the sword from the guard's hand and held the scabbard in his right hand and raised it above his head. The Danyang soldiers saw their leader raising the sword.
As they came, they stood up one after another, held their sabers, and took the initiative to gather in horizontal rows according to the original formation. Zhu Ran stopped, grabbed the handle of the knife, and leaned the sword on the ground. Everyone was silent for a while, waiting for him to speak.
Zhu Ran glanced at his subordinates, raised his voice and said: "The governor has ordered us to go down the mountain immediately. Don't fight with the bandits we meet at the foot of the mountain. Just follow the front group forward. We have to take the back route, destroy the pontoon bridge, and keep these bandits behind."
Come down!"
When the Danyang soldiers heard that they were going to bypass the Han army and complete an unprecedented siege, they suddenly became excited and their hearts were filled with excitement, forgetting for a moment the danger of life and death involved.
Zhu Ran then gave instructions: "The Governor of Lu has sent a surprise force before and is making a circuitous route in the southwest. It must be arriving soon. We are here to cooperate with him. You must remember to tie a piece of black cloth on your left arm so that you can
Distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. You have to go quickly. If your armor is too heavy, don’t take it with you. Just bring a crossbow, arrows, and a knife at your waist. Throw away all the other things you don’t need."
All the subordinates followed the instructions and hurriedly packed their luggage and belongings. Zhu Ran also began to organize the weapons on the saddle. As he said, there was only a long sword, a waist sword and a bow. The heaviest ones were two quivers, which were full.
There are probably about a hundred arrows installed, and the arrow feathers are all made of pure white carved feathers, which are very eye-catching. This is a symbol of Zhu Ran in the army.
It was probably around noon at this time, and the weather was still very gloomy. Seeing that his men were ready, Zhu Ran led everyone down the mountain to charge into battle. As the Danyang soldiers came down the mountain, there was no one left in the middle. The left wing of the Wu army was going down the mountain to pursue.
Only the Wu army's right wing, Lu Dai's troops, could not move.
The Han army's right wing has been crushed, and it is encircling Guo Huai in the middle. Wang Ling's troops are retreating together. The Wu army's Euphorbia soldiers cut into the Han army in columns, and have completely crushed the frontal resistance. Both the Han army and the Wu army are heading west.
, the difference is that the Han army is crowded together and most of them lose order, but the Wu army is still worried that if it is blocked by the crowded Han army, it will be overwhelmed by the Han army and lose order. This makes the Wu army have to stop frequently.
Constantly looking for a way among the Han army. The situation and scene are like a shepherd dog driving a flock of sheep all over the mountain. It has to be said that it is a kind of irony that it happened between the Han and Wu armies.
The column led by Zhu Ran passed slightly to the left, passed through the broken troops on the left flank of the Han army, ran through a ravine, and ran hard onto the beach on the side, almost leaving the chaotic Han army behind. However, his brother Zhu Ran
The follow-up team led by Ji was blocked by the crowded Han infantry in the middle, and fell into a chaos of stabbing and slashing, unable to find an exit for a while.
After Zhu Ran led his troops through the Han army, he did not rush to the Han army's camp immediately. This was because before the battle, Lu Su had already drawn all the arrangements of the Han army at the foot of the mountain and handed them to the generals to memorize.
Zhu Ran knew the layout of the Han camp. They set up dozens of small watchtowers in the northeast, closely guarding each other. The Han army must have left guards among them. If they launched a direct attack from there, they would probably attack the unarmored troops.
The Wu people caused considerable casualties. The Han army had no time to set up defenses only in the southwest. There was only a small fence between the tidal flats. If they attacked unexpectedly from here, they could take advantage of the situation and attack the pontoon bridge behind them.
After waiting for a while, only a few Zhu Ji's soldiers caught up. At this time, skirmishers of the Han army could be seen appearing at the foot of the mountain. Time was extremely tight. If we waited any longer, we might have to fight with the Han army that had caught up. Wear
When the formation passed by, Zhu Ran's column lost more than a hundred people, and with a few who caught up one after another, there were only more than 2,000 people under his command. But he was determined to join the Huainan army.
Besides, the central army of the Han army was retreating to the west. Wang Ping, the partial general, had been prepared and had planned the retreat route in his heart. As a result, he was obviously at the vanguard of the central army, but he was the first of the Han army to withdraw.
The army has a very complete structure and has more than 3,000 people under its command. It can be said that it is one of the few troops in the Han Right Army that still has combat effectiveness.
At this time, he did not dare to stop even a step, and ordered his troops to march quickly and forcefully. It was the season when the trees were rustling and falling, and the vast sky and earth were becoming increasingly sparse and filled with smoke. It was impossible to distinguish the starting and ending boundaries of the Wu people, as if there were thousands of horses galloping.
It was the figure of Zhu Ranjun who passed by. Wang Ping couldn't help but said in shock: "When did the Wu people hide an army of troops again? If we turn around to intercept them, wouldn't we die without a burial place?"
Chen Qian on the side squinted his eyes to estimate the speed of the Wu people's advance, and said: "General, the thieves are just infantry, but they are walking so fast. They must be moving lightly and will not fight us. But the enemy moves so quickly, they must be
They have other plans." Before he finished speaking, Wang Ping suddenly understood and said: "They must be going to the pontoon to cut off my entire army's return path!"
Chen Qian also agreed with his voice, with an anxious look in his eyes. Originally, he thought that if he continued to be pursued by the Wu people, he might capture the pontoon bridge, so he advised Wang Ping to go straight to the pontoon bridge. Unexpectedly, Wu people thought of the same thing and also ran towards the pontoon bridge from the beginning.
Come on, the current situation is such that there is no room for hesitation anymore. Whoever reaches the pontoon first will take the initiative! So he said directly: "Now that the matter is over, we can only abandon our armor and run wildly to see who can get ahead!"
General, you lead the troops and leave first. I will gather some Dongfu soldiers and support them later!"
Wang Ping also knew that the situation was critical, so he immediately threw down the bag on his head and issued an order to his subordinates, ordering the entire army to travel lightly and follow him straight to the river beach. Then they ran all the way and took off their armor, armor and helmets.
The pong fell on the tidal flat, kicking up a lot of water mist and smoke, like a crisp bell music. Chen Qian borrowed Wang Ping's horse and quickly headed northwest.
Wang Ping's troops moved in a hurry, and soon they were completely separated from Zhu Ran's Wu army. The Wu army needed to take a detour from the southwest tidal flat, but Wang Ping's troops could just go straight in. He sent people to inform the surrounding camps and order the defenders to
He came out and followed him, pouring the only dry food and water he had left into his mouth until he started coughing.
When they rushed to the Han camp, the defenders in front reported that Wu soldiers had already attacked the camp and had already reached the pontoon. And this group of Wu soldiers who attacked the camp even had extra troops.
Specially designed to intercept the Han people who were trying to assist. Before Wang Ping and his men could stand upright, they heard the sound of arrows whizzing past. The nearly one hundred Wu people holding sledgehammers actually took the lead in launching a counterattack against the Han army and plunged headlong into it.
Among the Han army columns, Wu people followed them like a shadow, so they cut the Han army column into two.
Although Wang Ping had taken off his armor, he still had his weapons. He stuck the long bow on the ground, took off the big bow he was carrying, and fired at the Wu people who were running forward. The two armies were just in a confrontation room, and Wang Ping even
Eight arrows were shot, and with each arrow fired, someone fell down. This made the Wu people realize that the Han army in front of them still maintained an organizational structure, and it was not as simple as it seemed. So these Danyang people hesitated for a moment and gave up what Wang Ping said.
Department, and kill in another direction.
Seeing the Wu people leaving, Wang Ping didn't have the energy to turn around and chase him. He could only slow down his pace and rest while continuing to walk to the pontoon. After a while, another group of Wu army infantry showed up, and they lined up and hesitated to fight. Wang Ping ordered
The crossbowmen under his command gathered together, raised their crossbows and fired, and after one round passed, the Wu people were slightly pushed back. The Han army set up flags again, most of them abandoned their long sticks, and walked towards the trench outside the camp while shooting. Then they saw the final scene.
Dozens of people from the front team who were rushed away first were fighting on the trench. Under the trench, the Wu army was shooting arrows upwards on foot. The two armies were in a stalemate. The Han army all drew out their knives and quickly passed behind the Wu army. As soon as they approached,
The Wu people swung their swords and slashed at them. These Wu people fell to death like haystacks, and the formation of the front team also became chaotic.
At this time, more than two thousand reinforcements led by Zhu Ran came from south to north along the trench to assist in the battle. Wang Ping's troops had to give up rescuing their companions in the trench and directly faced the Wu army's reinforcements to fight. The infantry of the two armies
The column was approaching in an instant, and soon they were resisting back and forth like a criss-crossing wave. Many people still held bows and arrows in their hands, and had no time to pick up their knives. Some people even threw their knives on the road, so they could only swing their bows slightly.
Knock. A crackling sound comes and goes, and I don’t know when it will end.
At this juncture, both armies showed unprecedented courage. The Wu people knew that they were about to achieve the greatest victory since the war, and their courage naturally doubled. The Han army knew that this was a life-and-death moment, and taking a step back would cost them their lives.
, but also fought to the death, and for a while the two armies fell into a stalemate more entangled than on Bagong Mountain.
In the stalemate, new changes also occurred. Not far away, Lu Su, who personally led the attack on the camp, finally led the team to the Han army's pontoon bridge. They took out the torches they had prepared in advance, filled them with flints, and were ready to attack.
