As the morning sun rose, under the ten-mile long post, the horns of the Jurchen army and Lu Zhongtian's soldiers and horses suddenly sounded in the big camp, and the war drums roared. The originally quiet morning quickly became noisy and tense by this deafening noise.
.
On the hill, the officers and soldiers of the Luoyan Army were already in their respective positions at dawn. Because the orders passed down from above said that today was likely to be a fierce battle, they were already ready for battle. For ordinary soldiers,
It didn’t seem that there was anything strange about it. After all, the enemy was besieging the hill and could launch an attack at any time. However, for the senior generals of the Luoyan Army who knew the inside story, after receiving the news that the enemy under the hill was about to launch an attack,
In addition to admiration, every one of them felt worship.
Marshal Lin told them yesterday that the enemy would definitely attack today. Lin Jue said that he had a clever plan to force them to attack. The generals thought that this was just Marshal Lin's prevarication. Could Marshal Lin really be able to control it?
Is the enemy's action unsuccessful? Although Lord Lin is extremely resourceful, there are some things that he cannot control if he is afraid. Will the two enemy armies besieging the foot of the mountain obey Marshal Lin's orders? They obviously just want to besiege and not besiege themselves.
However, Master Lin's words came true, and the generals really didn't know what to say to express the admiration and awe in their hearts. They knew that this was definitely not something Master Lin had guessed by luck, but it was most likely that Master Lin actually used it.
It is simply unimaginable. Isn't this the legendary method of "strategizing"? If the strategy can be used to make the enemy cooperate obediently, it is simply a method of a god.
.
High up in the Range Rover Tower, Lin Jue, fully armored, stood by the stone railing and watched the movements of the enemy camp below the mountain. After getting up in the early morning, Lin Jue had been observing the movements of the enemy camp here. When the soldiers and horses in the enemy camp under the hill finally started
When the action began, the horns and war drums roared, and the horse infantry in the enemy camp began to form formations to prepare for battle, Lin Jue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Commander, it seems that the commander-in-chief's plan has taken effect and they are about to take action." Sun Dayong stood a few steps behind Lin Jue and said in a deep voice while watching the movement in the enemy camp far below.
Lin Jue smiled slightly, nodded and said: "It seems so. Lu Zhongtian was afraid. Dayong, you did a good job last night. I heard that you personally went to pretend to be the person who sent the secret message? Why did you take the risk yourself?
There’s no need for you to take risks for things like this.”
Sun Dayong looked serious, bowed and said in a deep voice: "No, it affects the success or failure of the commander-in-chief's plan. I don't trust it if it is left to others. Dayong must ensure that everything is foolproof. Dayong's life is worthless, and he must be valued by the commander-in-chief. General Dayong
I will never give up...to make up for my previous...confusion."
Lin Jue turned to look at him, frowned and said, "Why are you mentioning those things again? I told you earlier that those things have passed and should not be mentioned again from now on. If you are always so brooding about it, it will make me uneasy.
No one is a saint, and no one can make mistakes. If you can correct your mistakes, there is no greater good. Besides, you have not done anything bad to me, it is just forced by the situation. I have forgiven you a long time ago, when can you forgive yourself?
"
Sun Dayong's face turned red and he said in a deep voice: "The commander-in-chief's teachings, I will always remember them in my heart. I just try my best to forget those things."
Lin Jue sighed and said in a deep voice: "You can get over this hurdle by letting yourself go. Don't think too much and concentrate on dealing with the situation in front of you. My plan forced them to attack the mountain. I don't know if I have caused big trouble for myself."
.Today’s battle will be extremely tragic. Today… many people will definitely die.”
Sun Dayong looked solemn, straightened his chest, and said solemnly: "Commander, don't worry, we will definitely defeat them today."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "How can you see it?"
Sun Dayong looked at Lin Jue blankly and said: "Because we have a commander-in-chief who is in charge. The commander-in-chief alone is worth a million soldiers. I have absolute confidence in the commander-in-chief."
Lin Jue was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly. He lifted his cloak and strode towards the stairs, loudly saying: "Let's go, we have to go cheer up our brothers."
The tense atmosphere before the battle permeated the entire hill. The officers and soldiers of the Luoyan Army were already in place according to the deployment. Lin Jue galloped his horse from south to north and saw that the deployment at all key slopes was in place, which made him feel much more at ease.
.
To be honest, Lin Jue himself didn’t know whether forcing the opponent to attack was a bad move. He could only say that he had to do it. Because compared to the result of being trapped here by the opponent, Lin Jue certainly hoped that
It can force the opponent to attack. If the opponent is allowed to be surrounded without attacking, the final result will be that the Luoyan Army has to take the initiative to launch a breakout attack. In that case, the advantage of terrain will be completely lost. How important terrain is to the use of firearms.
If they have to break out and fight, the powerful firearms of the Luoyan Army will be unable to be used. Then the combat effectiveness of the entire Luoyan Army will be greatly weakened. The reason why the Luoyan Army dares to compete with the enemy with a force several times that of the opponent, except for the Luoyan Army
In addition to the well-trained training of the army itself, most of the confidence comes from the highly lethal firearms in the hands of the Luoyan Army.
The content of the so-called letter sent to General Sun Wanchun, the remnant of the Northwest Army, that was intercepted yesterday was completely forged. Of course, Lin Jue sent someone to contact Sun Wanchun. Especially after Guo Kun ascended the throne a few days ago, Lin Jue immediately asked Guo
Kun wrote a letter
A handwritten letter was sent to Sun Wanchun to recruit Sun Wanchun to join Guo Kun. But that was only a few days ago. The letter may have just been delivered to Sun Wanchun, and the result is not yet known. There is no possibility that Sun Wanchun has already prepared to attack Bian.
Liang's preparation for this matter.
Of course, Lin Jue didn't care about this. He knew that the plan of siege but not attack must be Lu Zhongtian's idea. Therefore, he had to make Lu Zhongtian anxious and make Lu Zhongtian give up his own plan. The way of course was to make up a story out of thin air for him and point directly at him.
Lu Zhongtian's key point. Bianliang City is Lu Zhongtian's fate. Even if it is a rumor, even if Lu Zhongtian will doubt the authenticity of the content of this letter, he does not dare to bet. He will inevitably react. Under the current situation, Lu Zhongtian
Unable to escape, Wanyan Agu would not let him escape, so he could only change his plan and launch an attack.
Lin Jue's plan was designed based on the situation and people's hearts. The interception of the letter was only the first step. The reaction of all parties and the speculation of the final possible actions were the essence. In addition to the conspicuous words "top secret" and "top secret" on the letter,
The seal of the big red jade seal seems a bit too deliberate. If a careful person studies it carefully, it may give rise to doubts. All other developments are left to Lu Zhongtian to make his own decisions. Therefore, Lu Zhongtian was not only deceived, but also had no interest in the content of the letter.
Not the slightest doubt.
The success of the plan does not surprise Lin Jue. What puts pressure on Lin Jue is the battle he will face after the success of the plan. Although the plan is exquisite, if today's battle is defeated and the entire Luoyan Army is annihilated here, it will be really terrible.
The biggest joke since ancient times. It will be left in the history books: a certain commander of the Great Zhou Dynasty set up an ingenious plan to force the enemy to attack, but the result was self-defeating and the entire army was wiped out. This may be an eternal joke and will be called it by future generations.
He is the most stupid person in the world. Of course, Lin Jue will never let this happen.
The battle started at this time. Wanyan Aguda and Lu Zhongtian did not launch a full-scale attack rashly. They first conducted a small test. The enemy troops of the two groups with more than 20,000 infantry each began to walk towards the middle section of the west and south sides of the hill.
Two locations on the side were explored on the hills. The two locations they chose happened to be the locations with the most rugged slopes and the most woods and ravines among the ten-mile long hill.
Their idea is to see if the Luoyan Army has enough manpower to defend in this position and test the opponent's defense system. Because if there are enough soldiers and horses to defend even some steep and difficult to attack places, it means that the Luoyan Army adopts
It is a comprehensive defensive formation. This seemingly comprehensive defensive formation seems to be watertight, but if the Luoyan Army with only 70,000 to 80,000 people defends like this, the defense of the entire Shili Changggang will have no focus. If you must defend everywhere, you will actually defend everywhere.
They can't stop because they don't have enough troops.
The soldiers who were attacking and testing at the two places had just poked their heads out of the woods at the bottom of the slope when they encountered the ruthless blows of the serial crossbows in the hillside fortifications. The serial crossbows were condescending, and the shooting distance was more than twice as far. Before the opponent could climb up the slope,
Then they could cause a blow. The two infantry teams advanced less than fifty steps, and each of them was shot and killed thousands of people.
Lu Zhongtian and Wanyan Agu were not angry but overjoyed. They stopped the infantry attack because they did not need them to die at this moment. Although thousands of people were killed or injured, they tested the opponent's defense system. The opponent's defense system like this,
There will be no way to stop the cavalry charge on several gentle slopes.
Wanyan Agu gave the order, and more than 100,000 cavalry were ready to charge. More than 100,000 infantry also began to advance down the hillside to the sound of drums. Lu Zhongtian's troops and horses in the south were also mobilized, as were all the 100,000-horse infantry.
With the loud horn sounding, the all-out attack finally began.
The infantry took the lead because their purpose was to contain and attract the defensive forces of the Luoyan Army, and to draw the hatred of the opponent's defensive troops for the cavalry's charge. When necessary, they were also the force to break through the top of the mountain. Amidst the loud shouts,
The Jurchen infantry and Lu Zhongtian's infantry rushed up the forest ravines and steep slopes like ants. Naturally, they were violently attacked by the Luoyan Army defenders who were waiting on the hillside. Countless crossbows poured down like rain,
Along with this, small melon grenades, emitting green smoke, rolled down the hillside with a tinkling sound. The roar immediately sounded everywhere below the hillside, and a plume of black smoke and yellow dust rushed into the sky, causing the earth to tremble and tremble.
In the face of Liannu and Little Melon, it is extremely difficult for infantry to rush up the hill. The power of Little Melon is no joke. A small Melon bursting in the crowd can cause up to ten casualties and bring psychological shock.
The fear on the ground is even more terrifying than the lethality. Not to mention the damage caused to the terrain by the explosion of the small melon. The denser the trees and the steeper the ravine, the greater the damage the small melon will cause to the terrain. The trees are blown up, and the explosion is
The hillside collapsed, mud and rocks flew, and dust and smoke billowed.
The battlefield on the hillside fell into a state of chaos. The roars from all directions raised huge clouds of smoke and dust. They blocked the sunlight and turned the battlefield into chaos. The smoke and dust in the sky made people unable to see and suffocated to the point of being unable to breathe.
It was completely impossible to tell the direction. Moreover, in this situation, there were still the screams of various arrows whizzing through the smoke and flying past my ears, and roaring grenades exploding in the smoke. All around.
The screams of the soldiers came, causing a large number of infantrymen who were enveloped in the smoke of the battlefield to lose their sense of direction. They were like headless flies stumbling around in the smoke, and the smart ones just lay down on the ground and buried their heads in the dust.
In my arms, I dare not move even half a step.
Wanyan Aguda and Lu Zhongtian watched with horror from behind. Especially Lu Zhongtian, he finally understood the reason why Wanyan Aguda had to drag himself to destroy the Luoyan Army for Wanyan Aguda's life and death. Because the Luoyan Army in front of him was really terrifying.
They have mastered the power of firearms. The shotgun firearms were already terrifying before, and now they have developed such firearms that are everywhere. It is simply incredible.
"It's hateful, it's extremely hateful. Is this Lin Jue the reincarnation of a demon? It's really hateful." Lu Zhongtian stamped his feet and cursed angrily.
Wanyan Agu gritted his teeth and sneered: "Now you know why I don't let you withdraw your troops. If you throw this demon to my Jurchen soldiers, isn't that a trap for us? To get rid of this demon, we have to go together."
Lu Zhongtian nodded and said: "No matter what, we will deal with them today. Chief, I think the cavalry can charge. Their large amount of firepower has been restrained by the infantry. If the cavalry does not take action at this moment, the infantry may collapse."
Wanyan Aguda nodded slightly, rode out on horseback, raised the mace in his hand high, and howled like a wolf: "Kill me!"
With an order, thousands of horses galloped, and the shouts of killing shook the sky. Countless cavalry began to charge towards the wide gentle slope. There were more than 100,000 cavalry in the joint attack. They were divided into several echelons and headed towards the hills.
A total of six gentle slopes on the east and west sides rushed towards each other. Hundreds of thousands of cavalry were themselves like a vast sea of cavalry. And the teams they pounced on the six gentle slopes were like six black dragons poking their heads out of the sea.
He rushed towards the low hill in front of him quickly, and it felt as if he was entangled and swallowed up by the hill. Coupled with the large black mass of infantry and horses that had rushed to the bottom of the hill before, the entire ten-mile long hill seemed to be floating in black at the moment.
The leaves in the sea of people may be torn to pieces at any time.
This situation made Guo Kun, who was standing at the top of the Range Rover Tower watching the battle, feel cold in his heart. Although he also said that he would personally participate in the battle, he was the emperor, how could Lin Jue let him take the risk. He only asked Guo Kun to take the risk.
Kun was watching the battle from the tower, and was responsible for providing information about the opponent's attack from a high place to the soldiers and horses below, as a reference for deploying soldiers and horses on the hill to defend against the enemy. But in the situation in front of him, Guo Kun could not pass on any news, because there was no way
There is no need to pass it on, because there are enemy troops everywhere, regardless of north, south, east, or west, and there is no priority, because there are emergencies everywhere.
"It seems that today... I am going to die here. This Lin Jue... he asked me to go up to this high tower to watch the battle. Is he hinting to me that once the battle is defeated, he will let me jump from his tower to avoid being exposed?
What about the humiliation of thieves and Jurchens? That must be the case, he just refused to say it openly. Hey! Lin Jue, Lin Jue, you are too confident and insist on fighting them here? Can you really win this battle? I
I know you are not afraid of death, but I am different. If you die, you will die. I can't die. You have tricked me." Guo Kun had complicated emotions in his heart. He was frightened and regretful, but also deeply regretted Lin Jue's decision.
Complaints and resentments abound.
But no matter how frightened and worried he was, how much he complained and regretted, with the deafening shouts of killing, the enemy cavalry rushed up the slope and rushed up the gentle slope hundreds of steps long.
Just like a huge wave rolled up the embankment, the galloping cavalry didn't slow down at all, and they didn't have any formation at all. They just rushed straight up the slope. This was a charge that was prepared for death.
, the first wave of cavalry also knew in their hearts that they actually had little chance of survival, because the opponent's first wave of blows would be fierce and fatal. But they had no choice, they could not control their own destiny, they could only rush forward
Only then can they survive. Once they stop moving forward and fear death, they will be dealt with immediately by military law, without even the slightest chance of survival. Therefore, rushing forward is their only chance of survival.
Several slopes have similar terrain. A slope near the south side of the west side of the hill was attacked by the 30,000 cavalrymen of the former Forbidden Army guard Ma Junsi. The leading 5,000 cavalrymen of these 30,000 cavalrymen held their shields and fiercely charged.
The slope of the hill was about a hundred paces wide, and the distance to the top of the hill was about four hundred paces. The distance was not long, and the slope was not too steep. When the tall war horses of the Forbidden Army cavalry rushed up the hillside,
Even the charging speed of the war horses was not greatly affected. Amidst the shouts of death, the five thousand cavalry rushed straight up like a train, quickly rushing to a position more than a hundred steps above the hillside.
Wang Jun, the commander of the bodyguard Ma Junsi who was commanding everything smoothly, felt a little incredible. He thought that the opponent would dig pits and set up obstacles on the slope, but there was no such thing. The opponent's first line of defense on the hillside was
In the middle of the ramp, these five thousand cavalry will quickly rush to their fortifications. As long as they entangle the enemies in the fortifications, the following 25,000 cavalry can take advantage of the momentum and rush up the hill. Wang Jun has calculated,
Judging from the gentle ramp and width and the speed of the cavalry charge, the opponent must easily start from the bottom of the ramp to block the attack, and the blocking method must be extremely effective. If the opponent is allowed to rush up the ramp for a hundred steps, it is equivalent to
A lot of blocking distance was wasted, and it was basically impossible to stop the cavalry charge later.
Wang Jun smelled the smell of success. He was really worried before, but after the actual battle started, he suddenly felt that his previous worries seemed too much. It seemed that there was no need at all. The opponent obviously made a major defensive error.
