Chapter 105 Battle of Xushan
The sound of horse hooves, the wheels were rumbling, the swords and guns were like forests, the flags were like clouds, and more than 80,000 people drove the dust all over the sky, rolling towards Xiuzhou like a blocking the sky. One of the flags embroidered with the word "Song" looked particularly dazzling.
The soldiers are very fast. The Song army, who had just recovered the entire Suzhou area, had just rested, and then, under Tong Guan's leadership, rushed towards Xiuzhou without stopping.
Tong Guan's personal guard Shengjie army was in the middle, and the famous Western army was divided into two groups on the left and right sides, each with two wings. The 80,000 well-armed army could not see the edge at first glance, and could only hear the sound of thunderous footsteps.
As usual, Zhao Hao and Wang Weizhong and Wang Wenqing followed Tong Guan on horseback, followed by two guards, Wu Song and Zhao Ji.
Zhao Hao and Wang Wenqing were chatting and laughing all the way, and from time to time they talked to Tong Guan in front of him. Wang Weizhong, who has always been hostile to Zhao Hao, looked lonely and no longer had the interest to hostile to Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao naturally knew the reason why Wang Weizhong was depressed. Since Tong Guan was no longer a real eunuch, he had been singing and having fun every night. The top girls in Suzhou City took turns to Xuan Shuai's bedside, and had long quit the bad habit of being a good man. Not to mention being intimate with Wang Weizhong, even looking at Wang Weizhong, I felt a little disgusted. I just thought about letting this guy go away after the battle and never see him.
A scout came running.
"Report~ Thirty miles ahead, the rebel Fang La gathered 250,000 troops and stood in formation, hoping to fight our army to the death!"
"What?" Tong Guan was stunned and then laughed loudly, "The thief army actually abandoned the city and came out. God is really helping me! Keep moving forward!"
Tong Guan, who is a real man, is the spring breeze and the horse's hooves are light and energetic. Where can we take the rebels seriously?
Tong Guan is now the number one, he is the fourth... There is only Zhao Hao and Zhao Ji in the middle, and his confidence is almost overwhelming.
***************
The Song army was pushing each other, and Fang La was unwilling to sit and wait for death.
After Zhao Hao traveled through and changed his trajectory, Fang La's rebels successfully occupied Xiuzhou. Seeing that Tong Guan's left army broke through Suzhou, they pushed forward and rushed towards Xiuzhou like a bamboo shoot. Fang La was unwilling to sit and wait for death. He gathered the rebels from Hangzhou, Huzhou and Xiuzhou to fight to the death with Tong Guan.
North of Xiuzhou City, under Xushan.
Countless birds in the woods on the slope flew up in panic, scrambling toward the rising red sun in the distance.
The fierce mountain wind rushes like a blade toward the darkness under the hillside to suppress a piece of rebel soldiers.
With swords and guns standing in full swing, the fighting spirit was singular. Three hundred thousand rebels stood in formation and stretched for more than ten miles long. The captivating military power made the arrogant and arrogant Feng calm down. He stopped abruptly in front of the huge military formation, and could only hold his breath and gently caress the battle flags.
Pieces of battle flags, rolling like huge waves under the whirlwind of the river, were particularly eye-catching, with the large "Square" embroidered on it.
Under the banner, Fang La sat upright on the imperial carriage, his eyes were bright and he was powerful without anger. He stared at the north direction. Beside him were the counselor General Lu and the military advisor Wang Gong Laofo, and behind him was the eldest prince Fang Shu, leading the Hu Ben Army to escort him.
With him as the center, 250,000 troops were lined up in a row, Fang Qifo, Huo Chengfu, Chen Zuotong, Qiu Daoren, Yu Daoan, Lu Xinger... A total of more than 20 generals led one army and stood solemnly.
A scout rushed over, crossed the heavy whistle and headed straight for Fang Laluan's carriage, turned over and fell, and replied anxiously: "Your Majesty, the Song army has reached 80,000,000, and we are looking for our army to come."
Fang La's thick eyebrows were condensed, and the sword in his hand raised, shouting loudly: "The whole army obeys the order and prepare to fight!"
I saw the flag of letters waving and passing on the flag of command as the center.
...
Under Xushan, the two armies stood in formation and prepared to fight to the death.
In front of the Song army, Tong Guan dispatched 80,000 troops, lined up in one line, covering the entire field, and crowded with people everywhere. The battle-torn Western army on both wings stood in front with a large shield, and defended its position with a strong bow and crossbow. In the middle, the Shengjie Army and three thousand white cavalry were arranged solemnly.
Outside the army more than one mile, the rebels were also black like dark clouds, blocking the Song army's sight, and only the swords and halberds like forests and the flags like clouds were visible.
The two armies had a total of 330,000 troops, and seemed to have filled the entire world. Except for the buffer zone of many places in the middle, loess and green grass were exposed, there was no other color between the world except the gray area.
Dongdongdongdongdong~
The drums sounded opposite, and the sounds were so exciting. Then countless swords and guns were raised, forming a forest in the air. The shouts of countless rebel soldiers roared like a tide of mountains and seas.
This is not the sound of the war drums of the attack, but the demonstration before the war begins, attempting to create a strong momentum to boost one's morale and suppress the other's morale.
Especially the rebels were almost four times that of the Song army, and they had an absolute advantage in number, so their momentum was naturally much stronger.
Unfortunately, the Song army standing opposite them had fought against the Xixia people in the northwest for many years, and several months ago they even fought the Xixia people surrendered and sought peace. In addition, they had never been defeated since the rebellion. How could they take the noisy momentum of the rebels seriously? Everyone looked calm and looked at the central army's flag tightly, waiting for the flag to move and rushed out.
After the three-way drum, I saw the dense embroidered flags on the opposite side, which were like a soul-summoning banner. Fang La's imperial carriage slowly drove out. Surrounded by a group of generals and elite soldiers, he ran out of the array for more than a hundred steps before he stood up. The elite soldiers guarding the tiger behind him were all with tiger backs and bear waists, with awesome powers, each holding weapons, guarding front and back, and there were also embroidered flags and axes, which were very strict.
Immediately afterwards, Fang Shu rode out, pointed the whip rod straight at the Song army's central army, and shouted loudly: "Ye~ The Song army, the Shenggong Tianjun is here, and he will not surrender quickly. If it is half a minute late, you will be killed so that you will not stay in the armor!"
Fang Shu is worthy of being a general of 82 martial arts. The voice was like thunder on the ground. Even Zhao Hao, who was in the central army, could hear it clearly.
The sudden silence among the Song army was as dead as death, and the noise that had already been heard disappeared.
Fang Shu was stunned for a moment, then he was very energetic and continued to shout loudly: "War without fighting, and surrender without surrender, but why?"
Wow~
Just when Zhao Haozheng felt that Fang Shu's lines were so familiar, a burst of laughter suddenly broke out among the Song army, and the laughter rolled in like a huge wave, instantly suppressing Fang Shu's roar.
Even Wang Weizhong, who looked extremely depressed, couldn't help laughing: "Is this guy a performer?"
Fang Shu on the opposite side realized that his opponent was not shocked by his thunderous roar, but simply regarded him as a clown. He couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry, and extremely embarrassed.
At this moment, another man from the rebels rode out and headed straight for the formation.
The man rode a dark cloud horse, holding a steel gun more than ten feet long in his hand, pointed the spear straight at the Song army, and shouted loudly: "The Song army is like a strong general, but someone dares to come out to fight to the death!"
The visitor is Fang Seven Buddha, the most powerful general under Fang La, who has 97 military power!
Zhao Hao's heart was tight. Is fighting generals still popular these days? If he were fighting generals, perhaps Han Shizhong could barely fight. This guy had just been promoted to the commander of the camp. Even if he came out to meet him, his identity would not be too embarrassing, and he would not have been on the battlefield like Master Guan Er.
However, more than 300,000 troops stood in formation and watched the two generals fighting back and forth in front of the formation. Wouldn't it be a little boring?
This time, Tong Guan in front of him was impatient and cursed: "Yes, are these mud-legged traitors all from big dramas? Don't be too long-winded and prepare to fight!"
Zhao Hao finally realized that he was thinking too much, so where can he say something about fighting generals these days?
Before the Tang Dynasty, there might have been examples of two armies fighting generals, especially during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Since the Tang Dynasty, there have been many examples of two generals fighting each other in chaos. However, it is almost a joke that the two armies line up to fight generals. There are no regular large-scale battles.
It turns out that Fang Qi Buddha, who has 97 martial arts, is so unreliable...
Fang La, Fang Qifo and others were originally from the grassroots. The series of actions of the uprising were based on the experience of listening to books and watching operas, and they were copied by copying them. Naturally, many of their words and deeds were full of drama, which was like a child's play in front of the Song army.
Swish!
Tong Guan pulled out the sword from his waist, stabbed the sword into the sky, and the blood of countless Song soldiers was ignited in an instant.
This guy is very wise and powerful when fighting in an advantageous battle...
Tong Guan waved his long sword and hissed and roared: "Blow the trumpet, the whole army assaulted, and slashed the enemy camp!"
Woo woo woo woo ~
Countless sounds of horns sounded, like the roar of the sea, sweeping dozens of miles of fields before Xushan. The entire world was filled with passionate sounds of horns, collapsed into the sky.
The next moment, the shouts of killing like landslides and cracks drowned the endless horns again. The three Song troops poured out like the Yellow River broke out, and waves formed by waves of flames rolled towards the rebels, making rumbling sounds.
In the rebel camp, Fang La also urgently ordered the flag to sing and ordered the three armies to fight out together.
The 330,000 troops on both sides rolled in like storms and waves, stirring together.
250,000 to 80,000. Even if the Song army is well-equipped and has more than 3,000 invincible white cavalry, it is hard to tell the outcome. The most important thing is the arrangement of troops, morale, command and other factors in the front line. It is still unknown who will win!
Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!
Hundreds of thousands of troops roared together, rushing towards each other like huge waves. Xushan started the largest field battle in the south of the Yangtze River during the Northern Song Dynasty.
Chapter completed!
