"On Bagong Mountain, soldiers are like grass and trees."

After Wang Lan reported in detail what he had seen and heard on the mountain, Cao Ren made a joke and commented, and invited the general Zhuge to say: "The general's part guards the passage down the mountain, strictly guards the water source, and does not allow the Wu army to reoccupy it." ”

Zhuge Qian clenched his fists heavily: "The last general will obey the order." ”

After that, he turned his head sideways to look at Bagong Mountain, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He is a soldier of Xuzhou County, belonging to the establishment of foreign troops, who was captured and defeated in Wankou last year and was only spared, and now he is reactivated as a general, which can be described as a precious opportunity.

Cao Ren commanded the Fifth Army, Zhuge Qian's First Army continued to besiege the road down the mountain of Bagong Mountain, the first army guarded the barracks, and the three armies advanced towards the battle area.

Zang Babu was still watching the battle in the car camp, with 500 transport ships in the water, with strong camps and complete supplies.

Thousands of cavalry outside the camp lined up to watch the battle, vigilant against the array on both flanks of the Wu army, and at this time, only the Chinese armies on both sides were fighting...... It's more like paddling.

One does not contribute to the work, and the other takes turns to train the troops, increasing courage and confidence.

Since the morning battle, Yin Li's troops have continuously knocked out more than 20 Wu troops, Yin Li is fighting in the formation, and the morale of the officers is gradually rising, and they are steadily advancing the battle line.

As soon as Cao Ren's main force moved, Zang Ba, who led a thousand horsemen to watch the battle, gritted his teeth and could only throw himself into the army that watched the battle on both wings.

Pan Jun did not show weakness, and the arrays of the battalions of the Wu army on both wings also advanced in waves, strangling together on the whole line.

Zang Ba only had a thousand cavalry reserves in his hands, and seeing that Yin Li was gradually forming a salient as he fought, he could only transfer his headquarters out of the camp to participate in the battle as a reserve to rescue the emergency, and continuously sent people to warn Yin Li.

The thousand cavalry in his hand was also divided into three formations, and two cavalry armies were divided to swim close to the battlefield, interspersed with the two flanks of the Chinese army, and bullied the Wu army into no formed cavalry, so as to protect Yin Lieng and slowly retreat to the safety line.

Yin Li has fought a bad battle all his life, so he can naturally distinguish whether Wu Jun is acting and failing, or really not fighting.

Luckily, Wu Jun really didn't fight.

The fight was very smooth, and I faintly experienced the refreshing and hearty nature of Tian Xin's rampage in the formation.

But Zang Ba continued to send orders to retreat, so that Zang Ba had to send his second son Zang Shun to send the order.

Wu Jun prepared a lot of stone throwing ropes, flying stones were like rain, Zang Shun was unlucky to be hit by flying stones on the helmet, and he was very embarrassed when he saw Yin Li.

Seeing this, Yin Li was slightly dissatisfied: "The Wu army is weak, like a reed strawman!" It's just a blow today, why doubt it? ”

Having said that, he still chose to listen to Zang Ba's words, and under the cover of the cavalry on both wings, he took the wounded, the dead and the corpses of the Wu army that had been snatched away from the front line and slowly retreated.

He retreated, and after a little rearmament of the seven battalions of the Wu army array, which was engaged in frontal combat, they entangled themselves in no particular order, trying to retrieve the bodies of the dead.

Otherwise, if you go back and count the profits, the main military officials will not end well.

Originally, the military officials of the Wu army did not pay attention to the profit or the profit, but the Han army attached importance to this, and Tian Xin rose in the first war because of the military merit.

Tian Xin also attached great importance to it, and included the recapture of the fallen robes in the new military merit calculation rules.

In order to motivate the officials to take the initiative to fight, otherwise according to the military discipline of the Han army, a tun general will participate in the war, if the profit is negative, then it will be properly beheaded; Now, as long as the corpses of the fallen officers in the headquarters are recovered, they can be lightly discharged.

Pan Jun also built a command wooden tower and personally watched the battle scheduling, with his fists clenched in his sleeves...... The new army of Dawu, which purified the composition of military officials and concentrated on closed training, was no weaker than the soldiers of Jingzhou County, and the difference was only morale.

The battalions can advance in formation, engage in battle, fight in a decent manner, and then take turns, maintaining a general formation and retreating to rest.

It already has the outline of a strong army, but it lacks only two things, combat enthusiasm and tenacious tenacity.

Seeing that the tired Yin Li began to retreat, Pan Jun could not see joy and anger on his face, and he looked calm, as if everything was under control.

But some of the generals watching the battle around him sighed regretfully because of Yin Li's retreat, and some were glad to exhale a long breath.

Seeing that the Wu army of the seven battalions of the Chinese army was pressed and beaten, they took the initiative to pursue, and these people looked tense and moved one by one, carefully observing the seven battalions that the Chinese army was fighting.

"Governor, look, Shouchun wolf smoke!"

A sharp-eyed military official reminded Pan Jun to raise his eyebrows to look, and saw that Shouchun in the northwest corner had just lit wolf smoke, he couldn't see it clearly, and asked: "How many wolf smokes are there?" ”

The military officer squinted his eyes and observed carefully, and saw that the wolf smoke was gradually rising: "Two ways." ”

Pan Jun nodded slowly and turned his head sideways: "The front formation and the back formation each raise three wolf smokes, and the east and west unfold." ”

Immediately, a military official galloped away on horseback and conveyed the order, the wolf smoke in the front was for Lu Fan, Song Qian, and Sun Xing, and the wolf smoke in the back was for Sun Quan.

Shouchun wolf smoke rose, and the Bagong Mountain, which was close at hand, never responded.

Cao Ren hesitated, if he waited another day, when Xiahou Shang's 30,000 main forces arrived, the battle would be much smoother.

But in the twenty-four years since Jian'an, forced by the fierce offensive of the Han army, the Wu army and the Wei army have also become impatient, and it is difficult to stabilize.

"General! The Shouchun water gate opened, and Lu Fan led the boat to attack and the raft to attack, which seemed to be loaded with many things that ignited fire! ”

Flying horses came to report, Cao Ren immediately stranded the army, at this time I saw a thick black wolf smoke rising from Bagong Mountain, and the Wu army on the mountain was like a blue wave surging down, and the flag fluttered, as if the grass and trees all over the mountain were Wu army at this moment. Zhuge Qian's battle banner did not last long, and was submerged by the Wu army by the waterhole.

His face was gloomy and he sent a flying horse to Zang Ba: "Tell Zang Xuangao to stick to the camp and wait for reinforcements!" ”

Several flying horses galloped out, Cao Ren's voice was slightly hoarse, and he glanced at Wang Situ's nephew Wang Lan, who lived on the coast of the East China Sea, embarrassedly: "The whole army stops, return to the camp!" ”

Wang Lan's body trembled, and he almost fell from his horse.

When the three armies led by Cao Ren stopped, they were looked at by Zang Ba, and he whipped angrily on the chariot, and said angrily: "Shameless! ”

The reserves of the two wings were put into battle, and the headquarters of the battalion was still out of the camp, and now the Xuzhou army was in an extremely embarrassing situation.

After the Wu army, the drums beat loudly, and the whole army had already launched an attack.

Pan Jun's black, white and yellow tricolor commander repeatedly pointed forward to where Zang Ba was, the drums around him were like thunder, and the sound of trumpets was endless, and the generals returned to each formation to supervise the advancement.

And Pan Jun walked down the watchtower, sat on a bundle of straw and looked up at the sky, life and death victory or defeat were unpredictable.

Now it depends on what hole cards Wei Jun has, Wu Jun has done his best.

The Xuzhou army now wants to withdraw, or alternate reserves to withdraw the troops fighting on the front line; Either completely defeat the frontal Wu army, and then calmly retreat.

Without reserves, it is difficult to quickly defeat the entangled Wu army array.

Grief, anger, and resentment permeated Zang Ba's heart, he jumped off the chariot and wanted to climb on his horse, but the surrounding military officials grabbed him, how dare he let him rush to stop the pursuit of the Wu army?

During the dispute, Zang Shun's face was bleeding: "Father! The Marquis of Luyang Pavilion is willing to break off for the army! ”

"Kaiyang Hou, Wu Jun is pouring out!"

The military officer on the chariot shouted: "The Chinese army counterattacked the enemy formation and broke it for a while!" ”

Zang Ba returned to Rongche, and could only see Yin Li's Luyang Pavilion Marquis and Dongguan County Guard's two battle flags heading south.

The Xuzhou army on both flanks did not go too deep, and turned around and ran to the camp.

However, Cao Ren was powerless to stop Lu Fan in the upper reaches of the river, so he could only watch as the oil raft thrown by Lu Fan drifted down the river, blocking the water surface.

On the west bank of the river, Cao Xiu had just arrived and shouted vigorously, his eyes were about to split: "Release the arrow!" Shoot the arrows! ”

On the top of the river, the Wu troops who swam down the river fell into the water one after another, but they still ignited the oil raft, which filled the river for five or six miles long and gradually burned, and the river was like a sea of fire, and the five hundred ships anchored on the east bank of Zang Ba were swallowed up by the sea of fire that gradually drifted down.

Cao Xiu looked at the sea of fire, full of grief and indignation.

Zhou Wei knelt not far away with his knees weak, looking at the sea of fire in disbelief, tears welling up in his eyes, looking inexplicably sad.
