Just after the rainy season, Taihang Mountains are everywhere from north to south, and waterfalls are thriving and rivers are surging. The largest river on Jingxing Road is Mianman Water, and it is even more powerful at this time, overflowing from both sides of the straits. The river water is clear and turbulent, eroding the riverbed.

The rocks gurgled and rolled eastward.

On the south bank of the river, a group of men with a slim chest and abdomen exposed and only covered their crotch with coarse cloth, poured the river water, which was still a bit cold in the mountains of Taihang on their naked bodies, shaking their necks while shaking their chills.

The roar caused a group of casual soldiers on the shore to cheer from time to time. Not far away were soldiers using skin bags and clay pots on the shore, pointing and laughing at this side.

Behind the group of soldiers, there are dense military tents stationed across a hillside and a relatively flat ramp. At first glance, there are probably hundreds of tents. At the outermost edge of these military tents

There were clusters of soldiers setting up fences to build villages and digging trenches. There was smoke from cooking fires everywhere in the barracks, and a strong fragrance of corn and rice floated in the air.

Outside the largest military tent in the middle of the barracks, two flying flags, a red-bottomed golden hexagram flag, and a black-bottomed white horse-horse flag, which is particularly dazzling in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Sitting alone in the spacious military tent was Fu Xuan, the commander of the First ** Division and the commander of the First ** Brigade. At this time, he was watching the table almost covered with the entire table, just like a real mountain and a real water.

Yang three-dimensional sand table.

This small sand table is a partial replica of the large sand table. It has simplified some peaks and ridges with little strategic significance and has greatly shortened the working hours. However, for each path, important valley and river, as well as mountain height, and road mileage are marked

Very detailed. It will basically not affect use.

According to the military plan, Fuxuan's White Horse Brigade was the first to contact the enemy and would be the first vanguard army to confront Han Qinghe's army. The battlefield was basically set on a plain more than ten miles south of Shouyang City.

In order to ensure the victory rate of the first victory of the White Horse Brigade, the military headquarters not only gave this local sand table, but also led the hunting battalion to supervise the battle.

The reason for the first battle with the White Horse Brigade was based on the following two reasons: First, the White Horse Brigade was originally stationed at the Great Wall of Pingding Guguan to train and guard, and was the closest unit to Shouyang among the Tianzhu army. And earlier, it was dispatched

The hard probe repeatedly had friction with the rangers of Han Qinghe Army. It can be said that when Di Lie's Taiyuan strategy plan was not yet released, the White Horse Brigade had already confronted Han Qinghe Army. Second, the military headquarters' plan was

Use an army as bait to catch Han Qinghe's army on the scheduled battlefield. And the army as bait cannot be stronger than the enemy. That is to say, it is necessary to show that the enemy is weak. And this "weak" must be

Really weak. You cannot use a strong army to pretend to be weak. Although Han Qinghe is not a famous general, he is also a long-time general of Lao Yu's army. He can still see whether an army is really strong or fake weak.

In this way, the White Horse Brigade, as a Class B brigade, is undoubtedly the most in line with the requirements. At the same time, in order to ensure that this "bait" will not be swallowed up, Di Lie personally led the hunting camp to shine near him, and once he waited

When danger occurs, rescue will be taken.

On March 18th, the rainy season just ended, and the large forces of the First Field Army were still mobilized in various brigades and battalions, and at the same time, they were fully prepared for logistics supplies to deal with a war, the White Horse Brigade had already carried the entire army's rations for ten days.

Set out in advance and headed to the Shouyang front.

From the ancient city of Xiguan to Shouyang, the mountain roads were tortuous and ravines were crisscrossed. There were only seven or eighty miles of mountain roads, and the whole brigade had more than 2,000 people. It took a full day and a half. Just before that, Fu Xuan ordered the order to stop the march and set up a camp.

. Doing this is done, considering that it is not far from Shouyang, it is probably dark when it is rushed all the way. It is a taboo for the military strategists to appear at Shouyang City; the other is to wait for the military lord who set out from Pingding City one day later.

The hunting camp led by the army will feel much more fulfilled if it has a powerful army composed of cavalry.

While Fu Xuan was staring at the sand table, he raised the curtain and walked in. Fu Xuan didn't have to look up, and he knew that the person who could break in without reporting was not allowed to break in, except for his own left and right hands, Deputy Brigade Commander Wang Zhongzhi, would not

There is someone else.

Wang Zhongzhi sat on an empty chair, took off his helmet, picked up the tin pot beside the table, raised his neck and opened his mouth, and poured it violently. Water stains overflowed from the corner of his mouth, soaking the bearded man.

Fu Xuan looked up and smiled, "How is the situation in the camp patrol?"

"Hi!" Wang Zhongzhi put down the tin pot and wiped the water stains on his mouth. His expression was very evident. "Now we finally realized the appearance of a regular army. We have a standard military tent and a full-time engineer in the camp.

, The craftsmen of the military regularly checked the loss and maintenance of weapons, and also checked the physical examination with the military doctor... Think about it, when we went to the battle, it was not camping, so it was great to send a few light and dark whistles, so how could we set up camp? Military craftsmen, military doctors, etc.

…”

Wang Zhongzhi couldn't continue to say anything and kept sighing.

Fu Xuan was silent for a while and wanted to say something. Finally, he shook his head, took out a few little Tao people in Jin soldiers from the small wooden box beside him, put them under Shouyang City, and said to Wang Zhongzhi: "Tomorrow at the latest,

They will fight against Han Qinghe's Khitan army. What do you think about the outcome of this battle?"

Wang Zhongzhi stared at the little Tao people on the sand table with a serious expression: "According to the information from the military headquarters, Han Qinghe's three thousand Khitan army had 500 cavalry, 1,55 infantry, 1,000 auxiliary soldiers and 1,000 servants

, The entire army can fight is 2,000. Of the 2,700 white horse brigade, only three battalions and 1,500 are war soldiers. In comparison, my brigade has a disadvantage, but from

In terms of equipment, I may be better than that." Wang Zhongzhi only smiled when he said this in the end.

Speaking of equipment, it was not only Wang Zhongzhi, but also Fu Xuan showed a hint of pleasure: "Yes, my brigade has five hundred pairs of stairs, five sting spears, and hundreds of powerful bows and hard crossbows.

I have also heard of the equipment of the defenders. In addition to Wanyan Tuhe's five hundred iron armored cavalry, Han Qing and the Khitan army had less than 3,000 leather armor, only 100 pairs of iron armor, and all of them were old.

A. Just this, we can try it! As long as the army leader's eight hundred hunting soldiers stare at Han Qinghe's 500 cavalrymen, our brigade uses infantry against infantry, one thousand five against one thousand five,

If you can't win, it's no problem to entangle the enemy."

The two main generals of the White Horse Brigade were discussing and deducing the possible fierce battle tomorrow, and suddenly, a rapid report came from outside the military tent.

Fu Xuan covered the sand tray with a wooden cover and said in a deep voice: "Come in."

The person who entered the quotation was Fu Xuan's personal guard general, but when he saw that he was holding a pile of miscellaneous items in his hand, his face was in amazement: "Report to the General of the Central Army, a soldier just found these floating objects on the river..."

Wang Zhongzhi stepped forward and pulled out his waist knife. He used the tip of the knife to lift a piece of ticking and ticking water to make half of the lapel. The most obvious thing is that the style of the lapel is actually the left lapel! The rest of the lapels include boots, tie, and felt.

cap……

Wang Zhongzhi's face changed drastically: "This, is this really drifting down from the upstream?"

"yes……"

Wang Zhongzhi looked back and his eyes met Fu Xuan, and they saw the fear in each other's eyes.

"Come! Gather! Gather the whole brigade!" Wang Zhongzhi and Fu Xuan shouted at the same time.

Just when the soldiers of the brigade were in chaos, they had not had time to get to the gap in the village gate. Several bloody soldiers rushed into the camp. When these soldiers were taken to the central army tent, Wang Zhongzhi took a look.

After a while, I recognized these people as the sentry he had arranged to the mountains ahead.

"Report... Report to General Lang, the other side of the mountain... are all Jin soldiers... We collided with the Jin army's post..."

It is only a mountain separated from the Jin army. And both armies are camping and sending out sentry detectives at the same time... Is there anything more depressing than this? The Jin army that can appear here at this time can only be

The Jin army in Shouyang City may even be Han Qinghe's Khitan army...

Such an encounter seems accidental, but it is actually inevitable. In ancient times, large troops marched, but they did not go casually and could go as soon as they had a road. Usually, the march route was to march along the water source. In this way, whether it was camping and resting or encountering an enemy suddenly,

Only by dealing with Yuru. Not to mention the dangerous roads like Jingxing Road, it is in a prairie that looks endless and seems to be everywhere. The large army marched along the water puddle, and it is also possible to go with the enemy

encounter.

The enemy in Shouyang indeed launched an attack on the pacification of Xiguan as the General Staff expected.

Wang Zhongzhi looked up. Although the mountain ahead was not steep, the trees were deep and the grass was growing above the knees. Small troops could attack, but large troops could never cross the ridge. Wang Zhongzhi turned his head and rushed into the military tent, lifting it up.

He opened the wooden cover, lay on the sand tray and stared at him for a while, pinched his fingers for a distance, suddenly raised his head and stared at Fu Xuan: "It's less than five miles to get around from the mountain!"

Fu Xuan was sweating in cold sweat: "Five miles? The infantry can only move for two minutes, and the cavalry only takes one moment. In such a short time, the entire brigade cannot complete the assembly, let alone set up a formation, if it is the enemy at this moment

One rush..."

Wang Zhongzhi's teeth were chewing, and his cheeks were bulging with flesh. His voice seemed to squeeze out from the gaps of his teeth: "No! With the current situation of the White Horse Brigade, once it is impacted, it will be in chaos, and the White Horse Brigade will be over!"

He covered his helmet heavily on his head, lifted the curtain, and shouted at the banner officer: "How many troops have completed the assembly?"

"General Huilang, the number one capital of the sword and card camp and the number one capital of the strong crossbow camp, and the number four has been assembled..."

"The commanders of each battalion will continue to gather the team. The three who have already assembled, come with me!" Wang Zhongzhi glanced at the Park Knife who was hurriedly handed over by the guards, and shook his head and said, "This knife can cut down the bandits, but it can't cut down the golden captives.

, change me to a sabre.”

Wang Zhongzhi took the nine-foot slashing sabre with cold light and held the knife to Fu Xuan standing in front of the tent: "Zhongzhi will entrust the enemy to the task of the camp to the division commander."

Fu Xuan and Wang Zhongzhi have been working with him for a long time. At this critical moment, he is not pretentious and returns solemnly: "Zhongzhi, but please resist for a moment, and you will arrive later."

The two bowed heavily, and Wang Zhongzhi looked back, slashed the void with a slash, without saying a word, and rushed out of the village gate first. Three hundred swords, card soldiers and crossbowmen behind him followed Wang Zhongzhi, rushed out of the village gate, and rushed towards the village gate.

Avenue.

Wang Zhongzhi's reaction was very fast, and the Jin army on the other side of the mountain was also not slow. Just as the soldiers of the Sandu, the White Horse Brigade had just run out of two miles and turned a corner, a rumbling sound of hooves on the opposite side were heard.

Come on, smoke and dust are flying on the mountain road.

Wang Zhongzhi's face changed. The faces of the three hundred elite soldiers who were the best trained and gathered the fastest.

Cavalry! The enemy is actually a cavalry!

Judging from the smoke and dust raised, there are not many enemy cavalry, and there will be no more than a hundred cavalry. Obviously, the enemy's general's response strategy is exactly the same as that of Wang Zhongzhi. Before he could assemble infantry, he hurriedly pulled out the cavalry, intending to take the initiative and use the cavalry.

The speed defeated the opponent in one fell swoop.

When we meet on a narrow road, who can win?

Two armies with similar ranks of equipment can yell the slogan "The brave will win when they meet on a narrow road". However, when an infantry encounters a team of tanks, no one will shout so stupidly. In ancient times, cavalry was against infantry

In other words, it's no different from a tank.

It is not impossible for infantry to fight tanks, anti-tank guns, cluster grenades, rocket launchers... As long as there are corresponding individual anti-tank weapons, the tank can be turned into scrap iron shells; it is not difficult for infantry to fight cavalry, as long as it is

Have sharp spears, rigorous training, and a strong array...

The White Horse Brigade has a heavy armored spear battalion, which is used to deal with cavalry and infantry. If the battalion is arranged in a formation and ready, Wang Zhongzhi believes that it is no problem to withstand the collision of these hundred cavalry. This heavy armored spear is a part of the

The camp's armor was cumbersome and heavy, and the assembly speed was the slowest. Wang Zhongzhi had three swords and cards, and crossbows, but he did not have heavy armored spearmen.

Without suitable weapons and equipment, infantry faced cavalry, just like infantry rushing to tanks in later generations, it was no different from dying! The eyes of three hundred soldiers were striking to the post-stop Wang Zhongzhi.

Wang Zhongzhi looked like iron, and he was 200 steps away from the enemy cavalry. He paused his sabre and shouted to the 300 soldiers who had already assembled, "You are all the white horses in Taihang, but you are willing to be a white horse brigade."

Will it disappear without a fight?"

"No! No! Never!"

"Our White Horse Brigade is the first brigade, and it will definitely be stronger than the Five Horse Brigade and Fushan Brigade."

Wang Zhongzhi shouted: "That's right! Baima Village was the first village in Taihang in the past, and now the White Horse Brigade is also considered the first village in Taihang! Men, it's time to prove that you are the first one! I, Wang Zhongzhi, will stand

At the forefront of the team, can you dare to be behind me to meet the enemy?"

"Why don't you dare!" In the sword barracks, strong soldiers stood up and lined up behind Wang Zhongzhi.

Among the heroes of Taihang, there is never a shortage of people with extraordinary courage. What they lack is discipline and training. At present, what Wang Zhongzhi wants is their courage.

The dangerous ridges on both sides stand together, the mountain roads are uneven, one hundred swords and cards are densely integrated into a formation, one hundred archers hide behind the formation, one hundred crossbowmen squat in front of the formation, and one hundred arrowheads flash with cold light.

The dusk was vast, and a general stood in front of the formation with a knife.
