Chapter 22 The Battle of Nanyang (4)

Chen Mu watched all Zhuge Liang's tactical arrangements coldly.

The tactics of changing the battle are indeed fast enough.

Although Zhang Xiujun set out in the early morning and traveled a long distance, he is now likely to be almost at Yuyang, less than fifty miles away.

But in the original plan, they had about two hours to defeat Liu Biao's troops.

However, due to the terrain, Liu Biao's troops stagnated, and the opponent would delay time. This would make time even more urgent and the enemy would have to be solved within one hour.

So Zhuge Liang immediately transferred Feng Kai's troops, which had attacked the enemy from the right wing, and replaced Xu Chu's heavy cavalry to attack from the right wing.

This is because there is a protruding corner to the west of Xiao Chang'an. The Qingshui River does not walk in a straight line, but is curved around. In the northwest of Xiao Chang'an, an S-shaped curve just bent out.

This is located on the edge of the river, and there is another village called Yangjiaju, which happens to be located in the northwest of Xiao Chang'anju in the middle of the valley. Wenpin is about seven or eight miles west at this time.

If you walk along the river, you can reach Yangjiaju. In later generations, this place was a forest farm in Wadian Town, with a large number of vast forests and a relatively flat terrain.

After coming out of the forest of Yangjiaju, you can see Xiao Chang'anju is located in an open area outside the valley to the south. This is a large plain area, which is very suitable for cavalry to gallop. As long as Xu Chu attacks the Wenpin square from the flank, it will immediately reduce the dimensionality attack.

Just like this, time passed by minute by minute, and about an hour passed, almost at the beginning of the afternoon, at about three o'clock, Liu Biao's army rushed for a day and had dinner in the morning, and now his stomach was ginger.

Moreover, Nanyang in June is like a steamer. The imperial army hides in the mountains and forests to shade. They bask in the sun in the open space outside the valley, one by one, one by one, like eggplant beaten by frost. They sit or lie in groups of three or five. A few shaded places with trees are basically occupied by officers at all levels.

Wu Anguo calculated the time and felt that Xu Chu should have arrived at the Yang family gathering, so he said to Zhuge Liang: "Military Supervisor, Commander Xu should have arrived now. If we launch an attack immediately, he can attack with us at the same time."

Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said, "Don't be anxious first. It's not a suitable time to go out to fight at this time. Be patient first. I guess that at most half an hour, the enemy should be unable to hold on and prepare to make a fire."

Wu Anguo looked at the sky and said anxiously: "But now it has been delayed by the enemy for an hour. If he waits any longer, Zhang Xiu's reinforcements are about to come."

"No hurry, I believe General Wen Su can hold the enemy back for at least half an hour!"

Zhuge Liang was calm and composed.

He was like a tiger in the forest, looking at Wenpin's army, who was still resting in the distance, as if he was looking at a prey to be slaughtered, patiently waiting for the prey to relax its guard and then give them a fatal blow.

At this moment, Wenpin's army is indeed very tired, mainly due to the weather. In recent years, due to the Little Ice Age, the hot summer has been hotter and the temperature is getting hotter day by day.

At this time, the soldiers are often hungry and thirsty. They are smarter like Cao Cao. On the way to attack Zhang Xiu, they look at the plum blossoms with one hand to quench their thirst and relieve the soldiers' hunger.

Of course, Wen Pin is not as smart as Cao Cao, but he did notice the situation of the soldiers. After hesitating a little, he said to Deng Ji: "The weather is hot at this time, and the soldiers are marching for a day, and they are afraid that they will be hungry and thirsty. You send someone to Thornshui to get water and make rice, so let everyone rest first."

Deng Ji was so hot that he heard the order and immediately said, "Okay, I'll go now."

After saying that, he immediately got up and led his men and horses to the south.

Jishui was called Lihe in later generations. This river was the junction of Qin and Chu during the Warring States Period. Jiyang was on the east bank of Jishui, so the city was named Jiyang.

It is located on the east and south side of Xiao Chang'anju. Because it flows south from the east to the east of Xiao Chang'anju, it will turn west and flow into the purified water, so the east and south side of Xiao Chang'anju are surrounded by thorn water.

However, to the east of Xiao Chang'an gathering is a large forest. Although it is closer to the Thorn Water, you have to cross mountains and ridges. Therefore, it is actually more convenient to go south, so Deng Ji has to get water from the road he has come.

Soon, one by one, and more than half an hour passed. Deng Ji sent thousands of people to fetch water. The soldiers had already built the pottery pot and prepared to cook.

In fact, when the army sends troops at a short distance, it often does not bring too much baggage. The soldiers carry some dry food on their own, and then each team brings some pickles such as leeks, Changben, Jingben, Chinen, Celery, Celery, Celery, Celery, Celery, Celery, Celery, Celery, Celery, Celery, Celery, Celery, Celery, Celery, Celery, Celery, Celery, Celery, Celery, Celery, Celery, Celery, Celery, and Celery.

The officers with conditions can just mix some meat sauce, moose, pigs, beefs and other meat sauce and eat it together.

There is not so much attention when fighting outside marches.

Basically, sprinkle some pickles with prepared noodles or some fried rice, and deal with them for a few meals, just to avoid hunger.

The smoke from here was rising, and Zhuge Liang looked at the sky. It was already four o'clock in the afternoon, which was around four o'clock. Based on the previous horse search report outside Wancheng, Zhang Xiujun's departure time and distance calculations, the arrival time should be from the beginning of the sun to the third hour.

Since they had spent about an hour and a half here, this means that at least half an hour or at most, Zhang Xiujun could almost arrive at the battlefield, because Zhuge Liang was not sure whether Wen Su could delay time.

But the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. Seeing that the time had come, Zhuge Liang decisively ordered: "Send the order, the whole army will attack!"

"The whole army attacked!"

Wu'anguo had been impatient for a long time. They had eaten dry food at noon and were not hungry.

But it is fake to watch the enemy eating outside and watch himself in the woods. But it is not because he sent troops for this food, but now it is indeed a good opportunity to attack the enemy as Zhuge Liang said.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Even fools know that when your opponent eats or sleeps, the chance of winning is very high.

When Cao Cao attacked Zhang Xiu in history, the army was overwhelming and almost crushed Zhang Xiu. Did Zhang Xiu suddenly attack him at night after falling asleep, causing Dian Wei to die?

So at this critical moment, Wu Anguo was not vague and immediately beat the drum and ordered troops to be sent.

As soon as he beat the drum, Wen Pinjun from the distance immediately became alert. He almost instinctively threw down the food in his hands and stood up to watch.

Wen Pin is actually not stupid. He naturally knew that he was advancing north with great fanfare. The enemy could not know that. Perhaps he had been ambushing the valley long ago. Now that he started eating here, the enemy would inevitably send troops, so he had already arranged some soldiers to be on high alert.

So he was not in a hurry and immediately started to organize a counterattack. First, he ordered the soldiers who were waiting for the troops to quickly come to the front of the formation to stop the enemy's offensive, and then immediately sent a messenger to inform officers at all levels and asked them to organize the formation immediately.

If you look down from a high altitude, you will see that from the mountains and forests in the valleys of Xiaochang'an, countless people walked out of the forest densely, and then flocked towards the entrance of the valley.

Outside the valley, a large number of ants-like black dots began to gather, and from the initial scattered state, they quickly took their place, and under the leadership of the officers, they arranged into a defensive formation.

Wenpin's troops were not at the entrance of the valley, but about one mile outside the valley, with a buffer distance so that he could have time to organize defense.

The sound of drums rang half of the sky.

The imperial army first gathered in large quantities outside the valley and quickly arranged into an attack formation, that is, the triangular awl array.

As a general who has been in Guan Yu's tent and has made many achievements in several wars against Yuan Shao and the Heishan Army, Wu'anguo has already had rich combat experience.

He personally led his personal guards to the forefront of the awl formation, intending to lead the soldiers to launch a fierce attack on the enemy formation.

Almost after the formation was set, with a long horn sound, Wu Anguo's hands weighing 11 kilograms in his hand pointed forward and shouted: "Kill!"

"kill!"

The imperial army burst into a roar.

The weapon of Wu'an Kingdom is a long-handled hammer. According to the precious historical material "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it weighs 50 kilograms.

But as we all know, one pound in the Han Dynasty was 222 grams, so in fact, based on the modern calculation of 500 grams per pound, it should be 22 pounds, which is 11 kilograms.

His iron hammer is not a super hammer like Li Yuanba, which is two circles larger than a human head, but a solid small round head with no iron spikes on it, which is probably the same as the fists of two adults.

Although the hammer is not big, the handle is long, and with the charge of riding a horse, one hammer is enough to exert several tons of impact!

Wu Anguo took the lead. When approaching the enemy's formation, he swung the hammer with both hands and smashed it at the front row of the enemy's sword and shield. Because the handle was long, the enemy's sword could not cut him, so his hammer hit the enemy's shield first.

Bang!

I heard a bursting metal collision sound, and the wooden shield was split in pieces. The huge impact force actually hammered the soldier away. The lungs in the center of the air were shattered, vomiting blood and died. When it fell into the crowd behind, it was just a corpse.

The sword and shield hand in front was hammered away, and a gap appeared in an instant. Wu'anguo's horse kept rushing into the gap. The continuous soldiers behind him followed him and immediately broke through a line of defense.

The troops in front of Wenpin's army were in chaos, and since Wu Anguo adopted a triangular awl array, as he opened a gap, the gap was instantly broken by soldiers behind him.

The front line of the Jingzhou Army was soon in a defeat. Wen Pin quickly adjusted the formation. Fortunately, the only one who was broken through was the soldiers who were guarding against the enemy's attack. His main force had already lined up in the rear and immediately separated to prevent the defeated troops from scattering the rear formation. At the same time, he sent two wings to encircle the main force of Wu'an Kingdom left and right.

Chen Mu, Zhuge Liang and others watched the mountain. Seeing the enemy generals responded calmly, they did not panic because of the collapse of the front line, but showed their super military qualities, which made everyone quite admire them.

Zhuge Liang said: "Wen Pin has always been relied on by Liu Biao. As a Jiangbei defensive general, it seems that he does have his own uniqueness."

"It's a pity that the soldiers under his command are not very good, and their execution ability is much worse."

Chen Qunting looked at him and shook his head.

Chen Mu smiled and said, "In recent years, wars in the north have continued, but Jingzhou is very stable, which has attracted a large number of scholars and people to settle in Jingzhou, promoted the prosperity of Jingzhou, but also caused the martial virtues of Jingzhou to decline. Sima Fa says: "If you are wary, you will die, and if you forget to fight, you will be in danger." A country and a nation must ensure that you have sufficient martial morals but not enough military force to continue to prosper. There are two concepts: do not use a sword in your hand and no sword in your hand. Do you remember it?"

"Remember."

Zhuge Liang, Chen Qun, Yao Bo, Huang Qi, Kong Jian and others heard the new famous sayings, and quickly took out the small notebook they carried with them and wrote them down.

Since Chen Mu was not as good as a first-class wise man last time, Yao Bo, Huang Qi and Kong Jian, the other two, were deeply regretful as outstanding graduates of the Taishan Academy, so they vowed to follow Shi Jun and be good students. As long as Shi Jun says every word they say, they will carefully write it down and write it in a notebook, often ponder it, and increase their abilities.

Although Wenpin in the distance adjusted his formation in time, the front line was defeated so quickly that the central army was dispersed by the defeated soldiers in front, making his troops almost unable to carry out his orders.

In this case, Wenpin had to readjust the soldiers who had already spread their wings to attack both sides of the triangular triangle of Wu'an Guomen, and then attacked himself to meet the enemy.

Only in this way can he maintain the formation.

It has to be said that in history, Wen Pin was able to guard Jiangxia for decades and repel Guan Yu and Sun Quan's attacks many times. It was as stable as Mount Tai, and naturally he had two tricks.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! But the soldiers under your command are not elite. The Jingzhou soldiers have been hiding war for a long time, which is still a little worse than the elites of the imperial court who have been fighting for many years.

Fortunately, Wenpin took action personally, and the general's flag stabilized the morale of the army and blocked the attack of Wu'anguo like a mainstay.

Feng Kai's army and Wu Anguo attacked together, and he attacked the right wing of Wenpin's army from the left.

This is done to prevent the cavalry from circumventing at the same time later.

Just when Wenpin's main force successfully stopped the unstoppable Wu'an Kingdom, the sound of horse hooves rumbling in the distance suddenly rang out, dust flying all over the sky, and the whole earth seemed to be trembling.

Zhuge Liang, who was standing on the mountain in the distance, suddenly laughed and said, "The Wenpinjun is over."

"good."

Chen Mu nodded in praise: "We are going to go there too."

Everyone went down the mountain and approached the battlefield under the protection of hundreds of guards. At this time, the battlefield was already in decline.

If Wenpin relied on his excellent command ability, he could barely support the problem that the soldiers were weaker than the court army due to their fatigue, fatigue, hunger and low quality.

Then when two thousand Xuan Armored Heavy Cavalry came out, the battle situation had become defeated, and the left wing of the Jingzhou Army was instantly defeated.

Just in the first round of charge, in the case of a great defeat in the left wing, the entire central army completely lost its defensive power and began to collapse.

Seeing this, Wen Pin knew that the situation was hopeless, so he had to order the withdrawal of troops.

Just when Wenpin's army was completely defeated to the south, an army with the "Zhang" flag erected in the direction of Jiyang in the south had already arrived at the battlefield.

at the same time.

In the direction of Xiao Chang'an gathering, countless people suddenly emerged at the entrance of the valley, occupying the entire valley.

Zhang Xiu's army appeared at some point behind Liu Biao's army and the imperial army. The two armies from north to south surrounded the battlefield at the same time!
