The scorching sun above the head, eyes full of loess, gravel and withered shrubs. Shi Yanchao picked up the cowhide water bag and took a sip, then turned to a guide in linen clothes next to him: "Is there a river going north?"

The humanity said: "We are walking along the Changyuan River, but in the dry season, this section of the river valley is dry, and there will be water dozens of miles further north."

At this moment, I saw a burst of yellow dust flying in the distance, and rushing towards him. Shortly before that, the knight turned over from his horse and knelt down in front of Shi Yanchao's horse: "My lord! We found a large number of enemy troops from the Northern Han Dynasty!"

Shi Yanchao came to the spirit immediately and asked: "How many people? Where?"

"At least tens of thousands!" said the knight, "very...very close..."

"How close?" Shi Yanchao's voice just fell, and suddenly he felt that his voice was wrong, as if a muffled thunder sounded in the sky. When he looked up, he was shocked, and saw a black line from afar on the yellow sandy horizon! He recognized that the black line is a piece of soldiers! He didn't have auditory hallucinations, the faint muffled noise he heard in his ears was the sound of countless horseshoes in the distance.

Shi Yanchao was furious immediately, and without a word, he swung his whip with his whip. "Ah!" The knight screamed, covering his face. Shi Yanchao cursed: "I found out so close, how did you scouts! What use you do, I..."

"Lord, please spare your life!" The knight obviously knew Shi Yanchao's temper, and kept kowtow on the ground, "We are limited in manpower, and we are all aware of the places blocked by the hillside... I didn't pay attention to that kind of place, it looks flat, but it is actually high and low. When stacked, the enemy forces are hidden in batches. From a distance, you can’t see anything..."

The general persuaded: "The enemy is near. The lord will take the defense strategy first, and he doesn't have to care about a villain."

Shi Yanchao was full of anger, looked over, and heard the scout say that there were tens of thousands of troops in the North Han Dynasty; he was a striker, and he had only two thousand cavalry soldiers under him. Now I remembered the military order that Guo Shao sent to issue last night, asking him to stand by when he encountered the enemy and not to fight when he was tired.

Although Shi Yanchao is brave and belligerent, he is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years. He is alone here. Of course he does not want to attack more than ten times the enemy...

"Order the ministries to immediately turn around and return to the original road!" Shi Yanchao crashed and said immediately, "Get closer to Dong Zunzuo and others!"

He didn't follow Guo Shao's military order to "stand by on the spot", because the official military orders issued by the Chinese army to the generals generally have one sentence: All road masters can act appropriately according to the actual situation. Guo Shao's military order told him to stand by when he spotted the enemy. The premise of this military order is that a large number of enemy troops are generally found far away. After all, there are too many people and the target is very moving; this kind of sudden approach is rare. Otherwise, it would be too easy to make a sneak attack... But now, if you still obey the military order rigidly, you will quickly confront the enemy. What is the difference between an active attack?

……The situation of the forward arrived in the Chinese army quickly. At this time, Guo Shao was still in the valley near the lake. Only the forward Shi Yanchao, as well as the three forwards, Dong Zunhao and Zhang Guanghan, who planned to take up Shi Yanchao The army went out of the mountains.

Guo Shao read the complicated terrain and description of the situation in the letter, only to understand the key: Shi Yanchao and his horse were ambushed, but the battle has not yet begun.

He had a discussion with the ministers and generals in the military government, and gradually he intuitively felt the seriousness of the situation. This feeling is like a kind of "pain delayed" life experience, that is, people can't feel the pain right away, and it takes a while to slowly react; it's like a big cut with a knife. I can’t feel the pain right away.

The news reported by the forwards one after another has roughly determined the number of the North Han Army. It is estimated that there may be more than 30,000!

Wang Pu said solemnly: "The ambush of the Northern Han Army was very sudden, and our situation was very bad. The forward, Dong Zunzuo, and Zhang Guanghan’s three armies, combined, totaled more than 12,000, not enough. Half of the enemy’s army, our strength is completely at a disadvantage; the most unfavorable thing is that we marched for half a month and walked for nearly a thousand miles to get here. The people and horses were tired, but the North Han army waited for work with ease. This battle has suffered more."

Guo Shao nodded without saying a word.

Wang Pu said: "It was too late to find out. We seem to be unavoidable in this battle. We were forced to fight; the forward and Dong Zunhao and Zhang Guanghan, who were on the left and right wings, could not retreat. The valley behind was full of people and could not get through. The main force of the army They are still on the road in the valley and cannot gather into an army in a short time. If one day, even half a day, has time to deploy; but according to Shi Yanchao, the distance between them is less than five miles, they will have to move closer to fight against each other."

A general said: "How about our army retreating into the mountains?"

Wang Pu shook his head and said: "Most of the thousands of troops are cavalry, and there is no way on the mountain. It is very difficult to climb the mountain. Moreover, this military order is too late to come and go. According to the report ahead, Shi Yanchao and others did not make an immediate decision. Signs of retreat to the mountains."

Li Chuyun also said: "This is the first encounter since I entered the Northern Han Dynasty. I ran away when I met, and I filed my spirit."

At this moment, I suddenly heard Guo Shao’s voice saying, "Everyone..."

People stopped talking and looked at them.

Guo Shao said: "Immediately ordered Shi Yanchao and the other three to fight directly on the spot! The left and right sides of the former army temporarily listened to the commander Zhang Guanghan of the Long Jiejun's left arm, and Shi Yanchao moved his camera alone. I immediately Lead the guards to the front line and direct the battle in the war!"

Among the three members of the former army, the person with the highest military position was Shi Yanchao, who was in the high position of the commander of the palace (the position of Zhao Kuangyin at the time); but Guo Shao couldn't believe in this person's overall command ability. Why is Shi Yanchao so high in military rank? Because this guy is so easy to use as a forward, he has done too much, and he cannot be convinced if he is not promoted!

In contrast, although Zhang Guanghan is only a commander in the military, he has long controlled the marching formation of 20,000 people, and it is more secure to use him. However, Shi Yanchao may not accept Zhang Guanghan's command, and it will be more troublesome to wrestle.

So Guo Shao made arrangements for the time being when things came to the end to save the military power from chaos. Because of Shi Yanchao's existence, he had to go personally or send Li Chuyun there to control the scene of more than 10,000 people in front of him!

Guo Shao took more than 300 horses to the north.

When he hurried to the front line, he found that the war was about to begin. The enemy army in the sight is close to one mile, and the situation is about to go to war!

There is no chance to summon the generals to say a few words before the battle. Guo Shaoxian observed it with his own eyes. The North Han Army had large cavalry on the left and right wings, with infantry in the middle. The whole army was formed into a half-moon formation. He guessed that so many people in the North Han Army were not all elites, and there might be some people from local feudal towns. Because according to the intelligence and estimates of the Privy Council, all the elites of the Northern Han Dynasty are left with more than 30,000 people, and it is impossible to bring them all out to Yang Ye for a one-off sale. But the most unfavorable situation on Zhou Jun's side is that it has not been trimmed and the crew is relatively tired.

Guo Shao took a look and stopped calling the generals, but decided to let the generals know that the emperor was here, first to boost morale, and second, to let everyone know that there is a unified military order.

He asked the soldiers to raise the yellow dragon flag, and ran between the various formations on horseback. When the soldiers saw Guo Shao riding the tallest horse, they quickly shouted, and the voice of long live was endless.

……

Zhou Jun’s big formation is not a formation, it means that the three men and horses come together to form a long square formation. Yang Ye heard the swaying shouts from the opposite side of the mountain. He felt a little weird. Zhou Jun's gang came over a long distance, still shouting in spirit? But he soon discovered that there was a faint yellow flag in the camp, and suddenly guessed that maybe the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty was in the barracks.

"Huh." Yang Ye looked at the situation ahead disapprovingly, and made a voice with a cold and confident face.

As a military commander, he doesn't like any conspiracies, but he is very familiar with the art of war, has experience in actual combat, and knows the skills of battle formations. That is to create conditions and opportunities that are beneficial to him!

The preliminary preparations for this duel were very successful! Yang Ye took advantage of his familiarity with the terrain of the Northern Han Dynasty, and seized the time to suddenly appear; instead of a tactic that he had invented out of thin air, he was thinking of "strike it halfway", but there are no rivers here, just use the art of war. That's it... No matter what method he uses, the number of people he can face against Zhou Jun is only one-third to half of his own; and he is waiting for work, dealing with him from afar. Everything is perfect!

Yang Yeguanzhi, because of the large number of people on his side, he spreads out wider and fully grasps the offensive and defensive initiative of the battlefield; another detail is accidental...The Northern Han Army is higher than Zhou's. The terrain of this area is not a mountainous region, but it is indeed a plateau with different levels; the Northern Han army chased here, just at a high place, and Zhou Jun was below a faulted hillside.

"This battle is bound to be won!" Yang Ye recalled, "No matter the emperor is here, the emperor is here, I also want to defeat this enemy soldier! The order, the drum sounded, the Chinese army moved slowly , The left and right wings are the main attack!"

There are many people, and the wings spread out relatively wide, so the advantage lies in the two wings.

After the drum trumpeter of the Chinese Army was ready, he saw a row of soldiers puffed up their cheeks and blew the thick and dull big horns, and the rumbling of the drums also sounded. On the battlefield, the westerly wind was slanting, flying sand and rocks. On the wild grass and shrubs, I saw smog and crowds.

The horsemen camps on both sides slowly began to move, a piece of war horses slowly buffered, gradually speeding up, and already copied to the side of the Zhou army. The rumble of horseshoes sounded like thunder on a sunny day, everyone's eyes widened, and their spirits became highly nervous.

The two armies went to war very quickly, and there was absolutely no exchange of people to shout. Now that there is nothing to say, the only way to see each other is force!

"Kill! Kill! Kill..." Soon there were crazy shouts between the two armies, and all kinds of noises on the battlefield were mixed together, and the noise was full. r1058
