886. Bloody Battle of Hengshan (2)
Dali has been calm for too long and has been in power for too long. Each prefecture, town and tribe have their own ulterior motives. In terms of cohesion, it is far from comparable to the Song Dynasty.
Wang Zigan said again: "And there is no need to worry, if we can destroy this Song army, our army's military achievements will not be eliminated."
"oh?"
Lang Yuanyou's eyes showed a little surprise, "Why?"
Wang Zigan said, "General Manager Lang should know that General Chi and I are from the same school. My senior brother is calm and always likes to pursue things without any leakage. When he leads his army to join, he knows that the Song army intends to defend this place and will also encircle the Song camp without giving the Song army any way out. And I have little thoughts, he will have it. He will never take this matter for this little military merit. You wait and see, my senior brother will definitely let us attack at the same time."
Lang Yuanyou pondered for a moment, with a look of admiration in his eyes, "Then we... really attack with all our might?"
Although Prince Gan's surprise attack on the Song camp before, his words and deeds over the past few days have already made the veteran Lang Yuanyou understand his extraordinaryness.
"certainly."
Prince Gan said: "If we have military achievements but not military achievements, we must destroy this Song army. If our army fails in this battle, it will not be a military achievement, but a crime."
As he said that, he paused for a few seconds, and then added meaningfully, "My senior brother has a very accurate eye and can tell whether our army is doing all his strength. If he fails, he will definitely scold us in front of the emperor. I am in my early thirties and he is more than 40 years old, but they are all the commanders of each leading the army. My senior brother...he..."
He didn't say the words behind him, but the generals next to him seemed to understand what he was trying to express, and his eyes changed slightly.
There are many wizards in Guigu Academy, and many wizards are proud. There will be competition between them, which is really normal.
Time passes slowly.
No wind.
The weather seems extremely hot.
Although the Dali army at the bottom of the slope was in siege, there was no movement at all.
In the military camp, the Song army only made up their minds to rely on defensive measures to defend themselves, and naturally they would not take the initiative to attack the Dali Army at the foot of the mountain.
The invisible murderous aura was entangled in the air.
The atmosphere is extremely solemn, with a feeling of black clouds lying on the city.
Near noon.
This should be the time to eat in the army, but there was no smoke rising up and down the slope. Both armies only used dry food to fill their hunger.
The Dali army was inconvenient to cook, while the Song army was worried that the Dali army would take advantage of the situation to attack.
Liu Hongyi, Zhu Haiwang, Zhu Hecong, Hong Wutian and others were all famous figures in the Song Dynasty, but at this moment, they were all gathered around the haystacks and gnawed on dry food.
Fortunately, since the emperor introduced many ingredients from such places as America, dry food is no longer as boring as before and difficult to swallow.
There was a little bit of debris falling from Zhu Haiwang's robe. He naturally pinched it and put it in his mouth, saying, "It seems that these Dali bandits want to gather together and attack our military camp again!"
Everyone nodded slightly.
In fact, they had already had such speculations, but the Dali Army always besieged the military camp, and they did not dare to relax.
Liu Hongyi said: "Let's just give orders to let the soldiers take a break! When the Dali army arrives, we will face a hard battle."
Que Huarong, Ran Anguo and others agreed, and hurriedly finished eating the dry food and ran towards the surroundings.
If there are soldiers, they will lie down anywhere and rest.
But in this case, I'm afraid no one can really fall asleep.
Some soldiers did not rest, so they looked for brothers who could write in the army and asked them to help them write their letters.
This is a military custom.
Although this book is unlikely to be sent back to their home, it is always a thought and a sustenance to put it in the armor on your chest.
If you are alive, there is no need to send this book home. If you die, you don’t know when it will be when your fellow villagers come home.
Even whether anyone can survive this battle is still unknown.
The soldiers were not stupid either. They all knew what they would face next with so many Dali army besieges.
Just for the army, I sacrificed my life.
I still remember the solemn oath under the national flag.
The soldiers were wrapped in horses and covered with corpses. As long as they went to the battlefield, they would be like handing over this life to God.
Some people had rosy eyes and some murmured to themselves, but from the beginning to the end, no one in the army had ever said they would go home. Even those soldiers who came from Qiongzhou were the same.
Nothing else, just for the current emperor to give the families of many of them a full meal.
In this era, this is rare.
It's about 2pm.
Finally, Dali Army appeared at the end of the west side of the official road.
They undoubtedly came from Hengshanzhai.
When Liu Hongyi and others heard the news, they ran out of the military camp and looked out of the West with a telescope.
There are tens of thousands of troops, and the number of troops is even greater than that led by Wang Ziqian.
After all the Dali army, which lasted for more than ten miles, appeared on the wilderness, Liu Hongyi and others' expressions became even more serious.
There was no food and grass behind the army. Obviously, this Dali army came just to attack the camp. And there was no intention of dealing with the Song army more here.
Liu Hongyi ordered: "Let the soldiers be prepared and prepare for a bloody battle!"
Then he looked at Hong Wutian, Tie Liduan, Jian Shisi and others, "You are worshipping, and you will hand it over to you the masters in the Dali Army. Before they break the camp, you don't have to risk going out of the camp."
"good."
Hong Wutian and others nodded slightly.
Everyone walked away.
Even Zhu Haiwang and Zhu Hecong, who had not practiced martial arts much, also went to the military camp to get two bows, which meant to fight with the Dali Army.
After about two quarters of an hour, the two Dali armies finally gathered.
The Dali reinforcements, which stretched for more than ten miles, gathered down the hillside and formed their own military formations. This made the atmosphere in the military camp even more solemn.
Some soldiers were sweating in their hands.
The Shenlong Gun and ammunition in the army were limited, and they also used a lot of them in the elimination of the Yue Li army in Yongzhou and Qinzhou, and the last battle to resist the Dali army's attack on the camp. At present, even if the general had all the ammunition, he didn't know if he could defend the camp.
At the foot of the mountain.
When Wang Ziqian and others saw reinforcements arrive, they personally walked out of the army to greet them.
And in that army, there were also several generals wearing white cloaks galloping out of their horses. Their ages and temperaments were different.
The leader has a beard, which looks quite old-fashioned, but he looks more like a country teacher. He has bright eyes and looks quite confident.
Wang Ziqian's eyes fell straight on him, and he bowed and shouted, "Senior Brother Chi."
Lang Yuanyou, Chen Guangbin, and the two deputy generals, as well as generals from various departments, also surrendered, "General Chi!"
Although the Dali army was pieced together, the generals were the chiefs in the army, both in terms of nominal and real power.
The commander of the right army, Wang Zigan, was under his command of Xiushan County, Jiuning Prefecture, Yongchang Prefecture, Weichu Prefecture, and 20,000 imperial guards, totaling more than 100,000.
He took Zhang Jue in circles and headed straight for Jinghu North Road at this time the right army was the commander of Feng Hebi, and under his command, the five troops of Shanju County, Shicheng County, Dongchuan County, Jianchang County, and Huichuan County. Although there were no imperial guards, the troops also exceeded 100,000.
At this time, the group that joined the army of Wang Zigan was the Central Army.
The commander of the middle army, Chi Fenggu, was under his command. Although he only had Nongdong Mansion and Shanchan Mansion two departments, he still had 40,000 imperial guards, and there were many soldiers and a wide range of generals.
Seeing that the prince was smiling at him like this, Chi Fenggu's face only showed a slightly stiff smile and replied: "Junior Brother Wang, generals."
Judging from his appearance, he should be the kind of person who is extremely introverted. Perhaps he hasn't laughed for a long time.
Under the two, the generals who were the chief officers and deputy generals of various places, or the commanders of a certain unit, also greeted each other.
They work in Dali and are both well-known figures, so it is not surprising that they know each other.
Chi Fenggu did not go to talk to Lang Yuanyou and others, but just looked at the prince. After more than ten seconds, he suddenly asked: "Why haven't Junior Brother Wang asked the army to launch an attack yet?"
Prince Gan had already thought of a remark and said with a smile: "Senior Brother should know that these Song troops are very powerful. Last time, I led my army to attack the Song camp. I thought I had no mistakes in tactical terms, but I was defeated by the Song army and suffered a huge loss. Before you wait for your senior brother, I am really worried that I can't capture this Song camp!"
Chi Fenggu raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.
