On the border of Youzhou, there is a grassland where the Xianbei tribe lives.
The patter of raindrops continued to fall on the green grass, mixed with the wailing that sounded from time to time, completely breaking the tranquility of the Xianbei tribe in the grassland. After being attacked suddenly, although the entire Xianbei tribe, both men, women and children, held hands
The swords and bows resisted, but in the face of this iron cavalry wearing black armor and coming and going like the wind. The resistance ended before it really started, and what was left was just dead bodies scattered in the field and the death cries of some of the survivors.
After the wanton slaughter, the black-armored cavalry dismounted one after another, lit the torches they carried with flints, and threw them at the felt tent. The tent caught fire, and the wind helped, and it immediately burned. Although the drizzle of rain still fell,
They worked hard to suppress the fire, but in the face of this man-made fire made of kerosene, the light rain obviously could not act as an absolute hindrance. For a time, the entire tribe was in raging flames and the drizzle of light rain in the sky complemented each other.
But it formed a strange and wonderful scene.
Bodies, felt tents... everything was swept away by the fire and turned into charcoal.
In the firelight, a general wearing black armor and a cold face rode a black horse and wore a red cloak. He stood on the edge of the battlefield facing the rain and fire, his eyes fixed on the front. After cleaning up the battlefield, he began to step forward in the light rain.
The black-armored cavalry gathered in the crimson stream that washed away the corpses, looking thoughtful.
"General!" A black-armored captain approached on horseback, jumped down, clasped his fists and reported: "Xuanyi's secret order!"
"Bring it here!" He raised his head, and a pair of deep eyes flashed across the slightly pale face of the black-armored general. Then he jumped off his horse and reached out to take the secret order from the captain's hand. He turned around and called a few guards to cover it from the rain and opened it.
He started looking at it. He glanced at it, folded his hands and said to himself: "It's about to begin! "Assemble! Return to the army!"
Remount the horse, turn around, wave, give orders, gallop, all in one go. The sound of bull horns immediately resounded through the grassland, and the black-armored cavalry who had originally started to gather gathered faster, gathering directly from all directions to follow the black-armored general.
Behind me, move forward inexorably.
...
At the same time, Wang Jian's camp was at Wang Jian's camp, which had been confronting the Qingxu coalition forces for a long time in Pingyuan and Gaotang.
The light rain in the sky formed a layer of rain and mist covering the green bricks. It had calmed down ten days ago, and Wang Ben, who had hurriedly led his troops to this place to prepare for the battle, had calmed down and wiped out the remnants of the Yuan family after a long confrontation.
Finally, he couldn't help but come to the camp of his father, Commander Wang Jian, and ask, "Commander, father, the allied forces of the princes are attacking in many directions. We have been ordered to lead the battle against Qingxu. Now that Baima of Dongjun has achieved results, there is no need for Prince Yingchuan to come in person."
It is said that with Jia Wenhe's temperament in Bashu, there must be a complete plan at this time. And our rear is now secure, I wonder if my father has any plans?"
Wang Jian, who was standing in front of the sand table, knew that Wang Ben was losing his temper. Speaking of his son, he was good at everything and could be regarded as a general. However, no matter in his previous life or this life, this man from Guanzhong always had an explosive temper.
Not much can be changed. Thinking of this, Wang Jian said: "Do you know why I want to confront you here?"
Wang Ben looked stunned for a moment, then shook his head and replied: "I don't know, please give me some advice!"
"You have been here for a long time. Every time I read the letters from Heibingtai and Xuanyiwei, you can see the Gaotang Plain, and even Jinan and Jibei afterwards.
Have you understood the terrain, cities, and mountains and rivers of Le'an, Mount Tai, and other places? Do you know how many mountains, rivers, cities, and counties there are?"
"This..." Wang Ben was speechless.
Wang Jian shook his head and started to talk, "As a general, you should know the heaven and earth, but as a commander, you have to think more about people. To us, Da Qin, this battle is like sending troops out of Hangu to sweep Liuhe.
Compared with the original situation, our current situation is three points better. Logically speaking, if we go to war directly, with the strength of our elite Qin Dynasty, we are not afraid of the miscellaneous soldiers gathered by Qingxu. But the king
Do you understand my heart?!"
Wang Ben's heart moved slightly, as if he understood a little bit. He hesitated for a moment before continuing to ask: "But father, now..."
"Okay!" Wang Jian stood up and said, "I know what you mean, hurry up and organize the troops. There is movement on the side of the white horse. We have the king's orders, how can we not add another joy to the king!"
"Okay!" Wang Ben looked happy, and without saying much, he turned around and ran out. Wang Jian himself did not hesitate, turned around and looked at the sand table in front of him with bright eyes, then turned around and ran out, as if
They are preparing to send troops.
Time soon entered the end of October, and in the plains of the Yellow River Basin, there was already a hint of chill in the morning. However, the mobilization of soldiers on both sides was not affected by the cold weather at all. Both sides obviously did not care about frost and heavy snow, and wanted to fight in the winter.
Before it really comes, a big battle will begin to determine the outcome.
The wind whistled and the horse roared. On the morning of the 26th, through the morning mist, Wang Jian got on his horse and looked at the four generals Wang Ben, Wang Li, Fan Chou and Yan Pu who had been prepared for this battle.
The whole army attacks, no need to stay behind! Wang Ben!"
"The general is here!" Wang Ben immediately stepped out of the queue.
"To the south of the plain, there are Gaotang and Luoyin cities along the Luoshui River. They are Jinan's barriers. Qingxu is the vanguard. I have given you 20,000 elite infantry troops and a three-day deadline to capture them. Then deploy defenses on the spot.
, ensure that Qingxu’s reinforcements from Jinan, Taishan, and Le’an counties are intercepted!”
"Promise!" Wang Ben nodded without hesitation. In this battle, Wang Jian did not forcefully recruit troops in Ji and Youzhou. He brought only elite soldiers and horses that he had originally recruited and recruited one after another for more than a year. Although the number was insufficient.
Eighty thousand, but compared to the general army's combat strength of more than 100,000, it is no lie. Therefore, being able to give Wang Ben 20,000 elite troops at once is enough to express Wang Ben's expectations.
"Wang Li!" Wang Jian shouted again to his grandson who had been eager to try.
"The general is here!" Wang Li immediately stepped out of the queue, full of heroic spirit and thorough etiquette. He was not at all wanton because his grandfather was a handsome man.
"To the north of the Shang River, there are three places: Xipingchang, Banxian, and Leling. These three places are all county capitals. They are easy to defend and difficult to attack. And because they are close to the Bohai Sea, they have always had heavy troops stationed in them. I will ride with you five times.
Qian, you don’t need to destroy the city, but you must do everything possible to stop all the soldiers coming from the three cities of Shanghe!"
"Here!" Wang Li accepted this extremely difficult blocking task without any hesitation.
"Fan Chou, Yan Pu, and you two will go into battle with me!"
"No!" The two of them looked at each other and went out to receive the order at the same time. After more than a year of getting along, they had already known the strength of Wang Ben, Wang Li and others. Fan Chou admitted that his abilities were quite different.
And Yan Pu considered himself a counselor, so he would not argue with the two for orders.
