Chapter 573: Look at the mountain or the mountain

White Horse is on the verge of rebellion, is it a surprise?

Burning Dangqiang and Bayi also wanted to stab the knife, is this a surprise?

Xiahou Shang came forward to assist Wang Zhong in controlling the military power and completing the change of banner, is this a surprise?

Actually, it's not a surprise, it's not a single one.

Even without these small means, the Beifu soldiers and the left army were confident that they would defeat Wang Zhong's rabble head-on.

The only value of Wang Zhong's Eastern Front Army of the Wei Army is not the three armies of his rebellion and Yizhi, but with their cooperation, they can quickly defeat Zhang Xiong's Changlin Army and seize the complete chariot as much as possible.

The chariot of the Changlin Army was the only equipment that the Eastern Front Army could use to assist the infantry in resisting the new cavalry charge.

Whether it is the Beifu army or the left army, it is a mountain road and a plank road, and it is impossible to carry large vehicles when this expedition arrives at the Luyuan battlefield; Now it is a river crossing operation, and even if there are tanks, it will be difficult to transport them to the opposite bank in a short time.

Not to mention the left army, the strong end dug a trench between Lishan and Bashui to lead the mountain stream to wash away.

Now even if Ma Chao is given a lot of chariots, he can't put them into the core battlefield at the first time.

The core battlefield is on the flat loess plateau between Zhang Xiong and Wu Zhen's main formation, and Wu Zhen's main formation is set up at the foot of Lishan Mountain...... This meant that the Wei cavalry was in a higher position, and when attacking, it was a condescending acceleration charge.

Wu Zhen wanted to use Wang Zhong's Eastern Front Army as an outcast and bait; And his own side fell in love with Zhang Xiong's chariot...... It's as simple as that.

For example, Wang Zhong, Yang Ju, Li Hu and others are anyway and change banners, but they are just adding heads; This counterattack of 12,300 people was far less important than Wei Ping's Shimen Pass garrison.

In the second half of the night, the fine rain finally stopped, and a faint mist began to fill the banks of Bashui in early autumn, and the dew began to condense in the early morning.

Tian Xin obviously wiped the red lacquer mirror armor, because of the condensation of water vapor, and he was patient to wipe it carefully.

Lu Yan came in with a hot boiling dinner plate and reported in a low voice: "Public, the Zuo Wei and Yingyang armies have set up pontoon bridges, and the Huya army is erecting pontoon bridges in Shihe. ”

"Is there any movement in the left army?"

"Not for the time being, the Yangwu army has been assembled at the fourth watch, and when the sky is bright, you can take a boat to participate in the battle at any time."

Lu Yan replied briefly and then strode away, because of excitement, his calves and stomach were trembling, and the muscles in his body couldn't stop tensing.

Infected by the emotions of the left and right robes, Lu Yan couldn't wait to participate in this battle.

Tian Xin calmly dined, from the beginning of the launch of Xiahou Shang, the gears of the decisive battle had already begun to run, if it stopped now, Wang Zhong's Eastern Front Army would be finished.

If something so tight stops suddenly, the gears will break one after another.

Therefore, the direction of the war is no longer under the control of Tian Shin, but the general below is responsible for specific tactics.

Before the war, the tasks of each army had already been assigned, so naturally there was no need for Tian Xin to engage in any precise and subtle operations.

The most important thing now is to eat this big meal, and then calmly cross the river with the three guards of the pro-army, and then defeat the main force of Wu Qian, Wei Qi...... Finally cut off the head of the dog of Wu Zhen, this war ...... Since the decisive battle in Hanzhong, the high-frequency war for six or seven consecutive years can be suspended.

This is at least five years.

Since the Yellow Turban, how has there been peace in the world for five consecutive years?

Thinking clearly, Tian Xin held a short dagger to cut and cut the marinated beef slices, chewing slowly with each bite.

Not only him, but all the soldiers participating in the war are eating meat at the moment, and all the livestock that can be slaughtered have been slaughtered.

As long as this battle is won, the huge herd accumulated by the Wei army in Guanzhong will be owned by the Beifu soldiers; In the future, there will be endless beef and mutton to eat, and there will be enough allocated cattle and horses!

And by yourself, you can also calmly carry out the matter of improving cattle breeds and horse breeds.

Tian Xin dined here, and in the big tent next to him, Yu Shifang was already wearing black lacquer bright light armor, and the embroidered battle flag with a five-pole peacock opening screen on his back was discarded by him, and now he was inserting a larger white 'Yu' battle flag on a black background.

He carried a lantern and looked at the sand table, Wang Zhong's Eastern Front Army was by no means an enemy, and the enemy was hidden behind the Eastern Front Army.

"Look at the mountain is a mountain, look at the mountain is not a mountain, look at the mountain is still a mountain."

Yu Shifang whispered, this is the emotion of Tian Xin when he looked at the Lishan Mountains in the north when the army crossed the Qipanling Mountains, and at that time, the Wei army on the north bank of Bashui fell into his field of vision.

Although the distance is very far, the dense crowd of the army, and the crowd marked by brightly colored flags, are still very recognizable.

How to say it, the highest peak around Qipanling is more than 1,200 meters above sea level; The elevation of the highland occupied by the Wei army camped on the north bank of Bashui is only five or six hundred meters, and the ravines and mountain beams formed by the remaining veins of Lishan Mountain on the back of the Wei army are generally about 800 meters above sea level.

And Qipanling and Wu Zhen's main formation are thirty miles apart in a straight line...... It's a pity that when Tian Xin crossed Qipanling, Wu Zhen also arrived at the north bank of Bashui in a hurry, and he was also planning the formation.

So, just as everyone thought, many of the movements of the Wei army at that time appeared in Beifu's sight so bluntly.

Although it is not clear to see the specifics, it is difficult to ignore the movement of thousands of people or tens of thousands of people, the black pressure, and the display of flags.

There is nothing surprising that the purpose of this war is not to kill how many people or annihilate Wang Zhong's Eastern Front Army, but to cut Wu Zhen and swallow the main force of Wei cavalry in Wu Zhen's hands with a scale of about 20,000 or 30,000.

Only by swallowing this cavalry force can we quickly sweep away Guanlong and maintain true peace with the Wei army in Hebei.

If Wu Zhen is desperate and flees with the main force of cavalry, Wu Zhen's life and death are not important, the important thing is that the army will be divided when it withdraws, and he wants to encircle and annihilate it so easily...... But it's hard.

Therefore, the fundamental goal of this battle is not the head of Wu Zhen, let alone the rabble of Wang Zhong's Eastern Front Army, but the main force of Guanlong Wei's cavalry!

Yu Shifang stared at the sand table, and could already predict that after the Huya army crossed the river, under the leadership of Lu Yi, they would rush all the way downstream on the west bank of Bashui, blocking Wu Zhen's retreat from a long distance.

The task of the Yingyang Army was to seize the chariot of Zhang Xiong's Changlin army, and rely on the chariot to advance in formation to prevent the Wei cavalry from attacking; Although the Yangwu army in the upper reaches of Bashui was far away from the battlefield, they could go down the river by boat, and they could catch up with the Huya army and cooperate with Lu Yi to block the Wei army's retreat.

And the pro-army Sanwei, the left army, and the rabble of more than 10,000 people anyway, the goal is to defeat the main force of Wu Qian's main force Wei Cai, who pinned all his hopes on it.

Yu Shifang repeatedly deliberated on possible omissions, and vaguely heard the sound of drums and trumpets floating in the distance.

He strode out of the curtains, unable to see through the faint morning mist, perhaps hearing more clearly.

The horse galloped over, and without getting off the horse, he shouted at the top of his voice: "The enemy burns and changes the banner!" Three pontoon bridges were built in the Eagle Army! ”

His voice detonated the middle and senior military officials waiting for the battle horn in Houling, and suddenly someone shouted long live out of nowhere, and the sound of long live came and went, spreading and rippling in the main formation of Houling over and over again.

He shouted that he was tired, his face turned red and he gasped for breath, and he was waiting in front of Tian Xin's big tent with a red, yellow and green long hand.

In the big tent, Tian Xin personally tied the bell around his waist, three on the left and four on the right, and a sword hung on the left where the bell was missing.

A thick cloth bandana with cushioning and sweat-absorbing was also wrapped around his head, Tian Xin caught the eagle-faced battle helmet handed by Lu Yan's hands, and put it on directly without hesitation.

In addition to the eagle-faced battle helmet, Lu Yan also held Tian Xin's lightning tail red, blue and white battle helmet.

On the north bank of Bashui, Luo Qiong landed on the shore, and a group of Burning Dangqiang chieftains came up to welcome Wang Shi, but they couldn't squeeze into the front row, and the front row was the second show of Major General Yingyang Zuowei, who had already landed on the shore and formed a formation: "General, Zhang Xiong led his own cavalry to inspect the riverbank, the river was hazy, and it failed to cover everything, so the news leaked." ”

Luo Qiong kept walking, frowned unhappily, and immediately replied: "Since it has been exposed, beat the drum and spread the trumpet, so that all armies know that our army is about to fight!" ”

"Whoa!"

The drums here were urging in unison, and Zhou Zhuo, the major general of the left guard who had already crossed the river upstream, held the map in his hand, was dull for a moment, and said to Yang Qian, who was following him: "Beat the warning drum of the Wei army, try to deceive Zhang Xiong and make him misjudge." If Zhang Xiong is detected to transfer troops to attack the Qiang camp, our army will strike him in the waist. ”

Yang Wan's reaction was slow, and the military officials around Zhou Zhuo immediately scattered and returned to their own camp to supervise the battle.
