Bright Spring

Chapter 392 The Decisive Battle in the Land of Abundance (7)

The sky on the site of the Sichuan Chief Envoy seems to always be cloudy; the sky is gray, and it is extremely difficult to see the clean and clear scene in Yunnan where the sky is the sky and the clouds are clouds.But at this moment, the sun in the middle of the sky is still trying to shine through the clouds.

Zhu Gaoxu had already returned to Taiping Field on horseback with his entourage.The atmosphere immediately became lively, there were sergeants everywhere, and groups of cavalry came in and out at the entrance of the field.At this time, Zhu Gaoxu seldom spoke, and when he met a general performing a salute on the road, he mostly nodded or made gestures in response.

If he has a point of view, the gap will not be too big, because they are both Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers, and their personnel and training rules are similar.

This is also the reason for Xue Lu to lose his temper.Zhu Gaoxu said a word a long time ago: Anger without strength is meaningless.

Zhu Gaoxu went back to the tile house, summoned the generals, and arranged the layout of the battlefield again. This afternoon, he mainly talked about the positions of the various ministries on the battlefield. If they don't arrange it first, it may cause some confusion.

Then Zhu Gaoxu ordered that the generals and several of the most trusted guard commanders take turns to be on duty from this evening to tomorrow morning, and continue to keep an eye on the movements of the officers and soldiers.After all, the King of Han Army had been stationed here for a few days, and had the opportunity to do some preparations. There were not only scouts, but also secret sentries, and the eyes and ears of the people who had been bought with money.

At the same time, the whole army was not disarmed at night, and each department took turns to be on duty.Gather at four o'clock tomorrow morning, and the generals of all ministries are waiting for the military order of the Chinese army!

What an amazing night tonight.The so-called lying on the side of the couch and allowing others to sleep soundly?But beside Zhu Gaoxu's couch tonight, only more than ten miles away, there are [-] troops stationed, and [-] enemies are eager to kill him and take his head to make him a marquis!

Stud|Ha...he silently recited this word, and unconsciously fell asleep.

Zhu Gaoxu's previous mentality was a little abnormal.Because every time stud |, the feeling is not only eager to win, but also not only fear, but actually very exciting.Feeling like this, if you don't intentionally restrain yourself, you will become |addicted.

However, this time the "Shud | Ha" is different, Zhu Gaoxu did not have a wonderful exciting experience.After all, people are going to die!It was people he cared about dearly who died, and that was the last thing he wanted to see.

One night Zhu Gaoxu had many dreams. When he was still in the dream, he clearly felt it was very clear, but occasionally he could not remember what the dream was after waking up.

In fact, he didn't need someone to wake him up at all, he woke up before the hour came.

Chapter 393 The Decisive Battle in the Land of Abundance (8)

On the morning of November [-]th of the lunar calendar in the fifth year of Yongle, the sky was still foggy.The round moon was still hanging over the plain to the south of the west, as if indicating the direction of the officers and soldiers.

There are torches everywhere around the Taiping Field, just like stars, dogs from far and near bark non-stop, mixed with the sound of people and horses, it is extremely noisy.

Wearing three layers of leather, chain mail, and tie armor, Zhu Gaoxu was wrapped up like a tall iron rice dumpling, with a bright iron helmet with wide eaves on his head.His shoulder scarf and cloak were made of white linen, and at first glance, he was indistinguishable from the attire of the large group of men who surrounded him.

Pine torches illuminated the surroundings, and black smoke filled the air.

At this time, a general came up quickly, clasped his fists and said: "My lord, the army camp has begun!"

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu looked back and said, "If you go early, I'm afraid that Xue Lu will think that our terrain is too advantageous and you won't come; if you go late, you won't be able to catch up. It should be time now."

He spoke quickly, but not loudly, as if he was still a little cautious, for fear of scaring something away.

Qu Neng cast his gaze over and nodded seriously.

Zhu Gaoxu raised his hand and said: "Order the whole army, let's go!"

Not long after, the sound of horns reverberated in the mist near Taiping Field.The torches, like stars, began to move one after another.

Zhu Gaoxu jumped onto the brown horse, led a group of cavalry, and ran straight out of the Taiping Field.They rode to the southeast, faster than the army, and soon climbed up to the Sajin Dam about three or four miles away.

When a group of people came to Leftover Gold Temple, they saw a group of monks being kicked out from the temple among countless torches.

Zhu Gaoxu did not enter the temple, he patted his horse to the edge of the hillside, and looked around again.The east side has turned white, but the sky is still not bright, and the layers of fog in the line of sight are hard to see clearly.In this area near Chengdu, Zhu Gaoxu has been here for several days, but he has never encountered a day without fog in the morning.

But the hillside and the dam must still be there, and it won't be any different from the day before yesterday.This Sajinba is in the shape of a dark moon.The dam faces the northwest, with a length of about three miles and a depth of more than one mile. It is located on a large hillside, and the terrain is very flat and open.

There is a big gap on the southern edge, and you have to climb up Sajin Dam, which is the most gentle place.

Zhu Gaoxu turned around and looked towards the north-west direction.On the foggy land, a large area of ​​torches appeared in sight through the night sky; as if the land after the eruption of magma, the Hanwang army with torches was rushing towards the front of Sajin Dam.

There is still a large light in the east of the north, which is the supplies and horses of the King of Han's army and a small part of the army.According to the plan, they are going around behind the Sajin Dam and going to a higher dam to the east.There are 8000 to [-] soldiers in total, and generally they will not fight desperately, so when marching, the heavy soldiers have to cook and do a lot of work.

...Mao time (about [-] to [-] o'clock) has passed, but Chen time has not yet arrived.The sky was already bright, and the bright red sun was hanging in the eastern sky, like an ink painting, which was not very clear.

Zhu Gaoxu was standing on the edge of the hillside, except for the big slope to the west, he was surrounded by troops from the King of Han's army.Looking back at the surroundings, countless cavalry formations undulate slightly and extend into the distance, with no end in sight.

Looking from a height, the downhill land and plains in the west are boundless.There was a faint sound coming from the sky, like a muffled thunder that continued to sound in the distance, "buzzing..." It didn't stop for a moment.

Zhu Gaoxu looked closely, and could already see countless figures shaking faintly on the horizon.It is estimated that the front of the enemy army is at least a few miles wide, and it is blurry to see clearly, as if the sea water from the sea is filling in!

Although the enemy army has been seen, it will take a long time to really get close.Zhu Gaoxu and most of the soldiers waited silently. The infantry were in their positions, some were sitting and squatting, some were standing; the cavalry stood beside the horses, motionless.

Zhu Gaoxu left the side of the slope and continued to walk between the phalanxes on horseback.From time to time, he said a few words loudly to the soldiers, and countless people responded, and the earth-shattering shouts rose and fell on the endless dam.

On the opposite side of the south side of Sajinba, there is a large dense forest called Songlinpo. At some point, a fire broke out, and the fire spread towards the mountain like a curved line of fire.The black smog was so thick that it looked like a black cloud in the middle of the forest from a distance.

After the time passed, a large number of officers and soldiers came into sight.The array laid out is very large, maybe five miles wide!The formation of the officers and soldiers was located to the southwest of the King of Han's army. It could be seen from the south, but could not be seen clearly from the north.

The fire in Songlinpo will not be extinguished for a while, and at this time, another scout reports that the Taiping Field has also been set on fire!A group of light cavalry of the officers and soldiers rushed to Taiping Field, fired a large number of rockets, and many houses ignited fires.Zhu Gaoxu looked to the north, but he couldn't see the fire over there.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu had already rode to the top of Nanhuo Pass.The surrounding soldiers either sat or squatted. At this time, the soldiers were not required to abide by military discipline too much, as long as they did not leave their positions casually. Even the latrines next to the thousands of households were temporarily surrounded by tree branches, and they could go to the toilet if they wanted to.

Zhu Gaoxu shouted to the soldiers here: "Xue Lu is as cowardly as a mouse, burning the barren mountain is afraid that I will have an ambush!"

"Hahaha..." Many soldiers laughed.Under the pressure of the enemy soldiers like a sea of ​​people, the laughter of the men made the atmosphere seem a little more relaxed.

Zhu Gaoxu shouted again: "This battle, the King of Han's army will surely win!"

Some generals took the lead in shouting, and all the soldiers also shouted, "We must win! We must win..." The shouts seemed to echo on the Huo|Disaster Mountain in the distance opposite.

There are some guards of the Han Palace in the army of the King of Han, and they all know Zhu Gaoxu.However, some guards and soldiers had never seen him. This morning Zhu Gaoxu went through the entire formation in one breath, and all the soldiers should recognize his appearance.

... The soldiers on the Nanhuokou side, even Liu Dagen, a new recruit who has just joined the army for a few months, has met the King of Han twice!

Yesterday Liu Dagen spoke in front of King Han and showed his face. He was going to brag about it to all his acquaintances when he returned home early in the morning.So it was worth being scolded by Baihu Yin Desheng for not knowing the rules.

After the time passed, countless soldiers and horses who could not be seen from the beginning to the end of the officers and soldiers were already in front of them, and the dust and mist billowed on the ground, full of people and horses!But I can't see the head and tail of the people on my side, and there are still people everywhere around.Liu Dagen couldn't tell who had the most people, the battle was too damn big!

The rumble of drums and the sound of horseshoes became louder and louder, and the sound of trumpets was also mixed with orchestral playing, creating a commotion.Not long after, the cannon also fired. Liu Dagen stretched his neck to look at the scene to the southwest, and saw the flames flickering and white smoke billowing from time to time inside the countless phalanxes.

A large number of officers and soldiers have already followed the gentle gap in the south, and they are only a few hundred steps away from the Hanwang army in front of them, and they are still approaching.The sound of cannons has already rang out.

Liu Dagen's position is on the left slope of the officer army attacking the gap, and it is still a little far away.So Liu Dagen stood in the crowd and stretched his neck to look around.

There are more than 100 people in the hundred household team he is in, but the cooks and miscellaneous soldiers are not in the formation. There are about 100 people in total, divided into ten rows and standing.

On the left and right, there are four more such hundreds of teams standing side by side with them; behind them, there are also the same five hundred teams, lined up behind them.There are about 1000 people in total, which is a thousand general brigade, forming a huge square formation.In front of the large square, there are some queues holding bows and arrows and firecrackers.

On this dam, there is more than one large square formation of this kind, and there are other people and horses lined up in various patterns.

Liu Dagen was staring at the battle that was about to start in the distance, without blinking his eyes.Unexpectedly, at this moment, a cavalry galloped over from the gap in the phalanx, and said to a general: "Han Wang ordered, the big drum in the south is beating, and you immediately attack the enemy's flank! Receive the order flag!"

"Order!"

The general yelled a few more times in the middle of the big square, and the soldiers ran around giving orders.They will return only after they have received responses from each of them.

After a while, Yin Desheng's voice from a hundred households said: "Brothers, follow the general's flag, the formation must not be chaotic! Those who retreat before the battle, the military law will not show mercy!"
