Dawei Fanghua

At the [-]th hour of the fourth month of the Xinyou year, it clashed with the dog in the south.

At least that's what the magic stick Lu Zhizhong said. It is said that this is a sign of great disaster for the Southern Army.But the curse alone obviously couldn't make the enemy retreat. Not only did the enemy not retreat, but they actively pressed forward.

"Woo... Wu..." The sound of animal horns nearby was sharp and vigorous, echoing the slow drumming of the enemy in the distance.

The trumpet sound behind the enemy is a signal for the retreat of the front army, while the trumpet sound before the battle is a sign of the strength of the strong army, but the rhythm is different.But the sound of the horn reminded Qin Liang, who was standing on a hillside, of the sound of air defense sirens, making him inexplicably nervous.

Last year it was said that Wu Bing was coming, Wu Bing was coming.After waiting for so long, it’s really here, right in front of you.

The Wu soldiers generally advanced slowly in a formation similar to the flying geese formation. It seemed that this formation was about to attack.The wings of the Yanxing Formation are forward and the troops are strong. It is like two fists hitting, and it is convenient to outflank, and the momentum is overwhelming!
However, the two wings of this flying goose formation are not very symmetrical.Just like the terrain seen by Sun Li, Qin Liang and others at that time, the Wei army's right wing and south direction were river bends with large rice fields.The rice has been severely damaged, but there is water and silt in the fields, which is not suitable for the army to spread out and surround them.Therefore, Wu Jun's "fist" on the north side is quite large, and Wei Jun's left wing will be the key place to be outflanked and attacked.

Generally speaking, it is a flying geese array. If you look closely, it is composed of many large and small square arrays, with gaps in the middle.It is impossible for so many people and horses to be crowded together. They must be divided into many parts and several types of troops.

Looking from a distance, we can see that there are many enemy soldiers and horses, with flags fluttering. There is a flag with the word "Quan" in the center of the formation. Looking at the decorations on the flag, it should be Quan Cong, the commander-in-chief of the Wu army, who is personally holding down the formation.This Quan Cong was the main planner of the many troops who besieged and killed Guan Yu.

Wu's army was almost entirely infantry, with only a small number of personal cavalry around the generals.There were also some chariots. The chariots moved very slowly, much slower than the infantry. They were not suitable for attack and were not numerous. It should be that the Wu army did not bring many with them when they came from the water.

The Wu army that can be seen with the naked eye on the battlefield is roughly estimated to be at least 1 people. Last night, Lu Zhizhong miraculously guessed it right. The Wu army should be twice as strong as Sun Li's army!
Moreover, early in the morning, the army received a message from Shouchun City.

The men led by Quan Cong's two sons were located in the northeast corner of the Shaopi water area and were marching towards Sun Li. In other words, there were preparations coming from behind the enemy's battle formation; at the same time, two troops from the Wu army, Gu Cheng and Zhang Xiu, were coming. On the northbound route, there is a tendency to attack Shouchun City.

Sun Li, who was riding on horseback next to him, had a serious expression on his face and didn't say a word for a long time.

I guess Sun Li was complaining in his heart. The family fortune that Tama has finally accumulated must be revealed here today!

At this moment, two cavalrymen rushed over holding flags. When they reached the hillside, they couldn't wait to shout loudly: "The King and Governor have decided to leave the city this morning. The army is marching south with reinforcements."

Sun Li's face changed slightly and he said: "Send the news to all the generals and shout loudly that reinforcements are coming!"

"Here!" the general who had just reported the letter responded.

Qin Liang turned his head and glanced at the left rear and found that most of the cavalry seemed to be arranged behind the left wing.He immediately understood that Sun Li had adopted his suggestion last night and planned to use offense instead of defense to take a gamble!
That's right, it's impossible for a general to lead troops without gambling!If you don't bet when fighting a war, and you must be sure of winning before taking action, then it will be difficult to fight.Because the opponent's chance of winning is too low, the best option is not to fight; and an army that avoids fighting from the beginning is difficult to catch and can't catch up even if it goes around for a long time.

The position where Sun Li placed his cavalry is also quite interesting.The terrain with such small undulations suddenly found a blind spot for him.Looking from the east, there are two hillsides superimposed on each other, and there is a small, run-down village next to the hillside. There are bamboo forests and groves near the village.Although those scenery cannot hide the soldiers, they can block the view. From the east, the situation behind them should not be visible.

However, if the Wu army sent a few scouts to take a detour to the north or to the other side of Sheephead Creek in the west, they could easily see the cavalry.It doesn't matter if you find it. Fighting in this kind of terrain can almost only be done openly, and it is very difficult to carry out a sneak attack.Sun Li trusted and valued Qin Liang very much, and it was Qin Liang who came up with the idea of ​​using offense instead of defense.For a moment, Qin Liang felt that the responsibility was heavy, and he felt vaguely like he couldn't afford to lose, because he no longer dared to deduce the consequences of defeat.

Under the tension, he unconsciously made some unsteady little movements, such as lifting the breastplate of his armor.The armor he was wearing was brought all the way from Luoyang, and was claimed from the Luoyang City Arsenal. It is a set of double armor.

He glanced into the air again.The weather was sunny and light windy.

On the hillside at the foot, there are two jasmine trees. This kind of imported thing is still a bit rare. It should be planted by the owner of the manor to the east.The jasmine season has not yet passed, but there are not many white flowers left on the treetops, and the grass and soil on the ground are covered with dots of white flowers.In the open space on the battlefield, the crop fields were also in a mess.This ruined scenery has an inexplicably sad atmosphere.

Qin Liang took a deep breath and said: "The idea Liang gave to the cavalry is the responsibility of this battle. Please allow Liang to go into battle with the cavalry to kill the enemy!"

Several civil and military people looked sideways, and Wang Guang also looked at Qin Liang in surprise.Sun Li turned his head, looked at the expression on Qin Liang's face, and said, "Zhang Hui's men are also over there, let him follow you."

Qin Liang bowed deeply and bowed solemnly, thanking Sun Li for his trust over the past year.He then got on his horse, took Rao Dashan and Wang Kang away from the hillside, and went to the camp first.

He only has a one-handed sword on him, the one given by Deng Ai.Qin Liang found a horse-armed spear in the camp. This kind of spear was made by his soldiers.The modification was to lengthen the wooden pole, and rivet a section of thick wood at the tail. Because the spear was too long, it was top-heavy, and the wood at the tail was just to balance the weight.

Since the harness already had leather stirrups and a high-bridge saddle, which could meet the most basic needs, Qin Liang did not change it.After all, he was only training with Sun Li's command arrows and was not the one in charge.

Then the three of them took wooden shields in unison.

Wang Kang probably didn't know much about martial arts. He had two long ring-headed knives and a shield.Rao Dashan wanted an iron axe.Because he had to hold the shield in his left hand, Rao Dashan could only hold the iron ax with one hand. This pig-killer was very strong.

They quickly rode to the cavalry position behind the hillside, found Zhang Fei, a private soldier with a hundred men, and explained their purpose of coming and Sun Li's military order.Zhang Biao only had about ten cavalry at his command, and his troops were mainly infantry. They were now under the command of others, so he came here.

Six or seven hundred people have gathered here, with war horses.No one was riding a horse, and those who were standing on the ground put the extended spears on the ground for the time being.Most people brought more than one weapon, some had long ring-headed knives hanging on the left and right sides of their waists, some also carried a shorter spear, and some carried bows and arrows.Everyone seems to have experience in horse fighting and knows that weapons wear out faster.

Qin Liang organized military training, and many people knew him.People turned their heads to look, and although they didn't ask any questions, they all showed confused looks.In the eyes of everyone, Qin Liang has always been a civil servant.

Qin Liang didn't say much, he looked around.Everyone is behind a small slope, and there is a hillside in front of them on the right.The two hillsides are gentle and low and are not connected, but they are stacked on top of each other when viewed from the east-west direction.There is also a bamboo forest between the two hillsides.

Everyone stopped and waited for something quietly.
