"It's a fool to be the guardian of Tu. +Ding +Dian + Xiao +Said + +" Li Chuyun suddenly said after riding along the riverbank for a while.

Looking to the other side, he saw Zhang Lingduo stretching his ape arm on horseback. Following the posture, a knight who was carrying his back wildly fell off the horseback. Not long after the arrival of a large group of troops and horses from the Southern Tang Dynasty, they turned to the east and fled in a panic. From a distance, it looked like a frightened colony of ants running around, with dense and sparse crowds.

Not long after the sun rose from the east horizon, the autumn wilderness in the south was still green. There was no gunpowder on the battlefield of cold weapons and no one set fire. Li Chuyun was watching the battle on the South Bank, far away. He couldn't smell the blood, couldn't see the scene of the fight, and even the shouts of people were faint, and only the noise around him could be heard.

"Come here, go and pass the order to Zhang Lingduo." Li Chuyun shouted.

After hearing this, a civilian staff member next to him greeted a young general, and soon brought two messengers.

Li Chuyun said: "Two things. First, the horse team called Zhang Lingduo stopped chasing and withdrew to the east to gather more horse troops..." Li Chuyun looked over and could see a large group of Southern Tang Army infantry in the distance. Reinforcements are being lined up here. "Second, let Zhang Lingduo appoint a unit to be a formation envoy to organize the infantry crossing the river to resist the enemy's counterattack."

The civil officer asked the two messengers to repeat the military order separately, without writing them, and just told them to cross the river.

...... After Guo Shao smashed the simplified version of the "Morning Soldier System", it was greatly praised by Wang Pu, and it was quickly promoted from the Privy Council to almost the entire Forbidden Army; this method is also relatively strict and flawed in the war mode at this time. Not big, the most important thing is simple and convenient, and quickly got the approval of the generals.

The messengers are personal soldiers sent by generals at all levels. They know each other and are not easy to be deliberately mistransmitted by the enemy. Moreover, the personnel of the messenger system must be replaced from time to time; the unstable intermediate links are eliminated. The method is concise and efficient.

Regular orders are directly dictated, and important military orders need to be printed and filed. The civilian officials sent by the Privy Council manage the preparation of the written military orders, and the files are made with independent numbering, so that there will be real evidence to hold the generals responsible in the future.

Then this system was designed hierarchically by Guo Shao. In Guo Shao’s strategic-level Chinese army, there are personal soldiers dispatched by the generals of the main town such as Li Chuyun, Han Tong, Luo Yanhuan, and Gao Yanjian. Guo Shao only needs to send orders to these generals to control the entire battle; and Li Chuyun does this. Next to the generals of the same level, there are deputy generals, army, and command-level messengers to control the battlefield tactically; military commanders also have a first-level system, which is more detailed in the use of tactics.

In the Zhou Jun’s command system, even if there are hundreds of thousands of people, Guo Shao can indirectly control the movements of the first-level units.

...The civilian next to Li Chuyun is a member of the "Jiangnan Qianying Military Mansion". He mainly came to assist Li Chuyun in confirming the military orders of the Chinese army and managing written documents; of course, it also monitored the general's execution level secretly. The civil official was originally a small official in the Privy Council, and only recently joined the temporary military palace.

When Li Chuyun saw the civil officer coming back, he asked: "What is the name of the guard of Tucheng?"

The civil official blurted out: "The chief general is Yang Shou, and the supervising army is Sun Zhen."

"Both of them are slapsticks." Li Chuyun said unceremoniously, "If I were Yang Shou, I would hide my troops in places where I might cross the river in advance, and wait until the enemy has just crossed the river, so as to be prepared for attack. , With offense instead of defense.

Yang Shou couldn't think of this method. He actually squeezed the men and horses together like this, and waited until we crossed the river to temporarily rush around to make up for the leakage... Is it hard to foresee that our army will definitely cross the river from multiple places? "

The civil official said: "If the Southern Tang army uses sages, how can Li Gong dare to drive straight to this place?"

Li Chuyun listened to his black and thick beard, and couldn't help but smile: "I think of Tucheng fortifications. I didn't intend to attack this city. Now it seems that since the enemy general is so sloppy, You can give it a try."

At this time, reinforcements from the other side of the Nantang Army began to reorganize the line, forming a square formation, and approaching here. Li Chuyun ignored him, hurried to the west of Linjiang and crossed the Guxi River by boat. The navy on the Yangtze River transferred ships to build a pontoon bridge on the Guxi River. The river is narrow in some places, and it won’t take long for a ship to build a simple pontoon bridge.

Zhang Lingduo on the eastern battlefield received Li Chuyun's military order, and ordinary generals did not dare to resist this clear-minded order, and had already retreated to Li Chuyun's side.

"The infantry on the river bank has been deployed for combat?" Li Chuyun asked.

Zhang Lingduo said: "The commander of the first army was originally the forward commander. According to Li Gong's military order, let him be the platoon ambassador to command the river bank infantry formation."

"Very good." Li Chuyun said, "The soldiers of Nantang Town rushed into the battle. They were not the opponents of the elite guards in the front battle; when the infantry defeated their reinforcements, the defeated soldiers would flee to the central camp of the Southern Tang Army. The forward general followed him and took the opportunity to attack the main force of the Southern Tang Army, telling him not to be afraid of insufficient troops, just do as I say, I will care about it..."

Li Chuyun said, turning his head and glanced at the civilian from the military office. The civil official was also a governor, and immediately helped Li Chuyun find someone to convey the military order.

Li Chuyun looked at Zhang Lingduo again: "You are the commander of the horse soldiers on the north coast. When the forward approaches the Southern Tang Army camp, you will lead the horse soldiers to attack his side and try to break through the big battle with thunder."

Zhang Lingduo clasped his fist and said: "De Ling."

Li Chuyun looked back around and pointed to a military commander and said: "Chen Mu, after your troops cross the river, 200 troops will be collected and ready to stand by. When the main force of the Southern Tang Army is defeated, you will retreat to the west gate of Dangtu City. He approached the city gate from the north, took the opportunity to rush over to take the city gate, and stood by for help."

Chen Mu clasped his fist and said: "The last general will get the order."

Li Chuyun asked the people around him if they knew what he wanted to do, and several people responded.

When the order was properly ordered, Li Chuyun ordered an army commander to rectify the soldiers and horses at the ferry and drove to the east on horseback. The soldiers next to him carried a high red handsome flag and followed so that they could be easily seen when the general sent someone to find the main general.

At this time, there was the sound of drum horns in the distance, which was the movement of the Southern Tang Army. The things of Chuyun Li's department are still on the south bank of the Guxi River, and they are now busy mobilizing soldiers and horses, and the debris has not been delivered to the front line. The Zhou soldiers Ma Zhongyan looked like they were running around, but they were actually busy implementing their military orders.

Li Chuyun and others rode for a while, and have seen the scene of the battlefield. There are faintly dense black spots in the air, which are arrows flying. The closer Li Chuyun got closer, the louder the noise. The tinkling metal crashing and the screaming of the horses and horses buzzed in the ears. The two armies have been hand-in-hand, and there may be two or three thousand people in total. Some phalanxes are like a neatly piled sand pile being kicked. The squadrons have been scattered, various places have rushed to fight, and the emptiness between the squares has become blurred.

Sure enough, as Li Chuyun had expected, the combat effectiveness of the Southern Tang Army’s soldiers was obviously not as good as the Zhou’s imprisoned troops. In a short while, the Southern Tang Army's casualties in front of him collapsed after a little more, and then drove the various phalanxes to turn around and ran away... Li Chuyun fought a lot of battles, these scenes were too familiar.

Once too many people are running, people will follow. The Southern Tang Army collapsed. Most people followed the crowd and ran to their camp to the east. A few marginal people ran for their lives. They lost their helmets and armor along the way, and their weapons were thrown all the way. The deserters just rushed. Zhou Jun's pawns concealed their backs and shot them to death the slow-running defeated soldiers, but they still couldn't catch up with most of the defeated soldiers... The group of people lost all their burdens, kept their heads and fleeing, and ran very fast.

However, Li Chuyun did not order the large groups of cavalry who came to expand the results, and only let the infantry slowly follow the defeated troops to pursue the main force of the Southern Tang Army. Li Chuyun, Zhang Lingduo and others also followed up with soldiers and horses.

People were tossing on both sides of the Guxi River, when the sun had already risen in the sky. The corpse lying in the wilderness under the sun was tanned to give off a very strong smell of blood. The smell of human blood was completely different from the smell of fish, and it was even more unpleasant.

In the distance, a large number of defeated soldiers rushed to the camp displayed by the Southern Tang Army, and the front was all defeated. The Southern Tang Army's phalanx could not rush to shoot their own people. There was a relatively large gap between the square formations, and it was okay at the beginning. The defeated soldiers retreated from the gap to the camp. But it soon became uncontrollable. The defeated soldiers who came from behind were being chased, panicking and rushing towards the camp...because the infantry phalanx was a rectangular line in a static defense state to increase the long-range attack surface. The horizontal plane is very wide; the defeated soldiers rushed over, and the enemy's arrows were fired in the back. Where can we take care of the gaps in the phalanx? They squeezed straight into the square. At this time, no one from the Southern Tang Army ordered an attack to stop the rout, and the response was slow.

The Zhou army’s chasing troops were also out of alignment and chaotic, but at this time they easily took the opportunity to rush to the Southern Tang Army. The two armies were mixed up, and they soon fought each other in close combat.

Li Chuyun saw this and turned around and shouted: "Zhang Lingduo, what are you waiting for?"

Zhang Lingduo was impatient for a long time, because Li Chuyun was here waiting for him to speak. As soon as his voice fell, he had taken the lead to rush out of the queue and shouted: "Brothers come with me, it's time for us to fight!" /

The sound of horseshoes suddenly rang, and a large group of cavalry began to dispatch, gradually entering a state of jogging. The black crowd rushed towards the northern side of the Southern Tang Army like a tide, and soon approached the enemy camp; the bows and arrows of the Southern Tang Army’s flanks were shot in disorder, the neighing of horses echoed in the air, and knights fell from their horses from time to time. But this bit of damage could not stop the charge of Zhou Jun's horsemen. The front horsemen rushed very fast, and the no man's land between the two armies was being swallowed up at a visible speed.

The sound of "cracking" and the cry of "Kill, kill, kill..." came from the air, and the noise between heaven and earth became even more clamor.
