Chapter 1374: Meeting before the battle
May is a good season, not as cool as February and March, nor as hot as June and July, and the soldiers do not need to wear bloated cotton jackets, feel inconvenient to move, and do not feel uncomfortable and sweaty because of wearing cotton armor.
This kind of climate is a good time for a big war.
At this time, outside the Jin Army front, the Ming infantry was busy checking the formation, the artillery team was busy setting up artillery, and the officers were checking the equipment for the rows of non-commissioned soldiers.
The little flag officers of each flag team watched the twelve subordinates standing in a straight line walk in front of them one by one.
Starting from the left, the officer first touched the soldier's bird's gun, checked the ammunition strap on the soldier's body, checked whether the gunpowder bottle and the iron box containing the projectile were missing, then pulled out the war knife from the soldier's waist and returned it to the scabbard, and finally patted the corporal's right arm.
The Jin soldiers in the front line were also very busy, the Jin troops behind the low walls were busy loading gunpowder, and the stone-throwing machine operators hiding in the pit were placing the cannons and earth-shaking thunder packed in wooden boxes behind the stone-throwing machine.
This point is still inspired by the Ming army's mortar bombardment of Tongguan, and the Jin army also dug a pit for the stone thrower, so that the stone thrower and the operating soldiers do not have to expose the ground, reducing the possibility of being hit by the shell.
When the soldiers were busy, Haoge and Tang Tong and other Jin generals boarded the lookout car, paying attention to the red carpet a few miles away, and watching the movement of the Ming army.
Haoge saw Wang Yan from the clairvoyant mirror, then glanced at the Ming army lined up like tofu blocks, and turned back and said, "Can you see how many people and horses there are?" โ
Tang Tong, Sonny and others stood on the lookout car, looking eastward, the wilderness was full of the phalanx of the Ming army, banners like clouds, spears like forests, clothes and armor like fire, innumerable.
Today, the weather is clear, the field of vision is excellent, and the car is also very high, and the naked eye can see several miles, but a few people can't see the entire battlefield with all their eyesight.
"In the eye, the secrets are innumerable, and it is difficult to estimate for a while." Sonny replied with a squint.
Tang General made a stupid way, counted the number of phalanxes of the Ming army, and then according to the establishment of the Ming army, he arched his hand and said: "The minister estimates that there must be more than 100,000 people." โ
"One hundred thousand?" Hauge sneered, "100,000 people want to break through the front of my defense, and he is not afraid of breaking his teeth?" The king thief is rampant! โ
Tang Tong pursed his lips, "The king thief is acting steadily, he must leave enough troops, defend the two wings, and put 100,000 people in front of him, which should be the limit." โ
Haoge looked at the Ming Array and said disdainfully: "To say that it sounds good, it is stable and modest, and if it is unpleasant, it has no characteristics, and it is not outstanding on any side." โ
As he spoke, Hauge paused, then waved his hand and said, "Spread my will, let the tun army behind make the movement a little bigger, and put a little pressure on the king thief." โ
A chess card asked for rain, hurriedly hugged his fists to receive his life, and then hurriedly got off the lookout car, stepped on the war horse, and galloped towards Lintong.
The battlefield is vast, and the army that is less than a few dozen miles away by relying on war drums and banners alone must rely on fast horses to transmit messages.
Hauge gave the order to the Lintong side, hoping that the cannon and shouting of the Lintong side could create pressure on Wang Yan, so that he was eager to relieve the siege of Lintong and keep his cavalry, so as to launch a fierce attack on his front at the cost of casualties.
As soon as the herald left, Haoge looked at it for a while, and suddenly turned to everyone: "Sony, you stay in the array, Tang Qing can follow me out of the formation and go to watch the Ming array." โ
โฆโฆ
In the Ming army array, a tall watchtower was also erected, Wang Yanyu Chen Zilong and others overlooked the Jin army front, only to see the trenches vertical and horizontal, the horses were all over, the low walls were connected with the fortress, and they couldn't help but be a little secretly speechless.
"When did the gold thief steal the division, there is still a blue out of the blue and better than the blue!" Wang Yan looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but admire, admitting that the fortifications of the Jin army were indeed very orderly.
Chen Zilong looked at it and couldn't help nodding, but in the face of the Jin Army's strict barriers, he didn't have a heavy look on his face, but said with a smile: "It seems that Haoge has spent a lot of effort here, but I'm afraid that it will be in vain." โ
"Seeing this defense, Lone really didn't know where to start. It seems that it is the right decision to choose a frontal feint to break through from the south and attack the back of the gold thief in a roundabout way. Wang Yan smiled, "It's just that poor Haoge has worked hard for many days, but all his efforts have been in vain." โ
I have to say that the fortifications built by the Jin army are indeed very good, even surpassing the Ming army, but it is precisely because of this that Wang Yan is more determined to avoid the strategy of frontal attack on the southern front. Because after he saw the frontal defense of the Jin army, he himself thought that in a short period of time, without paying huge casualties, it would not be able to break through.
Since Wang Yan thought that it was difficult to break through the front, it would definitely not work to attack the front, so he could only firmly implement the strategy of breaking Wu Sangui from the mountains and forests in the south and attacking the Jin army.
This point, I'm afraid that Haoge couldn't think of it, Wang Yan and Chen Zilong and others met and laughed, and after Chen Bangyan on the side laughed, he reminded: "Prison country, although we are not ready to break through head-on, but the play should be done enough, and Haoge should not be disappointed." โ
Wang Yan nodded and stroked his beard, "This is indeed a problem, Gu doesn't want the soldiers to be injured, but he can't let Hao Ge see that Gu Wang is playing." โ
"Prison country, someone has come out!" Chen Zilong suddenly pointed to the Jin Army front in the distance and said.
When Wang Yan and the others heard this, they looked forward, and saw a group of Jin cavalry surrounded by a golden armor general, coming out of the gap in the low wall, and after the infantry pounced on the wooden plank, the cavalry jumped over the trench and galloped to a stop four miles away from the Ming army.
When Wang Yan looked at the road they came out of, he knew that there were cats on the ground, and they were really church apprentices, and they were worried about the master, and Jin Jun basically learned all the tricks he could learn.
At this time, Haoge was wearing gold armor, hanging a treasure knife at his waist, wearing the emperor's gold-lacquered six-god helmet on his head, and this bow and a pot of arrows were hung on the saddle, and he put on a full posture, leading four or five hundred cavalry to the front of the Ming army, looking at the Ming army's large array from afar.
In front of the big array, tens of thousands of Ming troops lined up in a horizontal formation, and the soldiers were motionless, as if they were bamboo rising from the ground. Although the distance was far away, the Jin army had enough time to retreat into the line, but after losing the protection of the low wall, the war horse under the crotch of the Jin sergeant was still frightened by the Ming army's formation, and he did not listen to the call, so that he kept spinning in place.
Hauge controlled the reins of his horse with all his might, and turned his head to observe the Ming army's formation, and after a while, he suddenly turned back and said a few words to his own soldiers, and a Jin cavalryman grabbed the horse's belly, waved his horsewhip and galloped away.
After a while, the cavalry galloped to two hundred steps in front of the Ming army formation and stopped, the war horse under the crotch kept moving the ground with the horse's hooves, and the knight pulled the reins while turning his neck, and shouted at the Ming army: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Dajin Kingdom, please ask His Royal Highness the King of Chu of the Ming Kingdom for a while." โ
Then the cavalryman took the reins of his horse and galloped back. Looking at the car, Wang Yan was thinking that if Haoge got closer, he would order artillery bombardment to let him follow in the footsteps of the old slave. At this time, the cavalry in front galloped to the car and reported: "Qi Jian Guo, Hauge asks the Jian Guo to meet in front of the battle." โ
When Wang Yan heard this, he couldn't help frowning, what era is it, still doing this? It's all at this time, and there doesn't seem to be anything to talk about, but Jin Jun roared like this in front of the battle, Wang Yan couldn't be frightened, and Wang Yan estimated that Haoge must have something to say, so he responded randomly, so he ordered Lu Shikui to get out of the car and prepare to go out.
Soon after the Jin cavalry returned, Wang Yan took off his golden armor, put on another layer of armor inside, and then dressed neatly before stepping on the charcoal horse and leading more than 300 Ming cavalry to rush out of the formation.
Wang Yan was dressed in golden armor, galloping in front of his horse, a cavalry behind him was holding a Ming army flag, and the Jiuming cavalry behind him also played a flag, and each flag was written with a title of Wang Yan in gold lacquer Chinese characters. He did not run directly to the golden cavalry, but first ran back and forth along the front, his figure was everywhere, and the Ming army suddenly made a sound like a sea tide, "Prison country Chitose, ten thousand victories".
Seeing him scratch his head and make a gesture, let the dignified Emperor Jin wait, the muscles on his face twitched, and after waiting for a while, just when Haoge was about to lose his patience, Wang Yan led the cavalry to turn west.
The cavalry of the Ming army stopped in the distance and pressed the corners, Wang Yan only led Lu Shikui to beat the horse forward, and Hao Ge led Tang Tong to meet him immediately, and the two sides stopped invariably when they were fifty paces apart.
When the fire gun is fifty paces, the projectile is basically floating, and it is difficult for the bow and arrow to break through the armor at fifty paces, which is a relatively safe distance for both sides.
This was actually the first time Wang Yan met Haoge, he couldn't help but look at Haoge on the opposite side carefully, only to see that the other party was dressed in gold armor, wearing a black cloak, and a rare white horse on his crotch, which was more powerful than him.
When Wang Yan looked at Haoge, Haoge was also looking at Wang Yan, his eyes full of resentment and anger. Wang Yan felt his gaze, couldn't help but straighten up on horseback, preemptively, and said loudly: "Haoge, you invited Gu to meet, but you want to surrender on the spot." โ
Saying that, Wang Yan didn't wait for him to answer, so he smiled and said: "If you are willing to surrender on the ground, it is not too late at this time, and you can let the Son of Heaven make you the king of the land and raise you in the capital." I want you to love Xinjue Luo's family as a domestic slave, and you can get a prince, one is free from the disaster of extermination, and the other can avoid the destruction of the lives in Guanzhong and accumulate some yin virtue, isn't it beautiful? โ
"Thief, shut up!" Hearing this, Haoge suddenly shouted angrily, pointed at Wang Yan with a horsewhip, and scolded angrily: "I called you out, without it, I just want to scold you as a thief, as for surrendering, don't think about it!" Your Ming Taizu is only a flower child, I have today's foundation, what is the identity of my ancestors, and what does it have to do with it? What kind of prince will Xiangning have? In this world, why can't I sit still? When it comes to you, you are sanctimonious, dare to do it or not, which makes people laugh! โ
