312 The Battle of Shandan Plain
312 The decisive battle of Shandan Plain
Mountain passage.
The first vanguard army led by A Fei and the second vanguard army led by the young hero of Chunqiu, nearly 40,000 player warriors completely occupied the entire mountain, forcing the player army of several small alliances in Zhangye County to retreat.
The next military goal of the Little White Alliance will be Shandan Town more than 90 miles away. After passing Shandan Town, and walking more than 100 miles of plains, the troops will arrive in Zhangye City.
The capture of Zhangye City is the ultimate strategic goal of the Little White Alliance's large-scale military operation.
However, the young hero of Chunqiu and A Fei dared not advance any further because they received accurate military intelligence. At this time, Shandan Town was gathering a large number of Zhangye County troops, including the main force of Ma Wan, had also arrived in Shandan Town.
The decisive battle will not be resolved under Zhangye City, but will be resolved in the Great Plain area between the mountain passage and Shandan Town.
One day later, the three main forces led by Qiu Shui, 90,000 player soldiers, arrived outside the mountain passage. Then, the four 20,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry and 5,000 heavily armored soldiers, led by Jiang Xu and Jiang Jiong, arrived outside the mountain passage and stationed in the distance. Finally, the five mixed army led by Zhan Xiaobai himself, and the eighty thousand players and NPC mixed army arrived outside the mountain passage.
In a few days, the army of Wuwei County and Zhangye County concentrated in the narrow area of Shandan.
In addition, the players and warriors who died on both sides also returned to normal in the camp behind 12 hours later.
Zhan Xiaobai, Qiushui, Chunqiu Shaoxia, A Fei, Jiang Xu, Jiang Jiong and other generals spent half an hour climbing the mountain hundreds of meters high on one side of the mountain passage to see the distance. The mountains are lush with trees and ravines, and small beasts such as level 10 deer and level 8 badgers can be seen from time to time.
Zhan Xiaobai looked out to the far northwest and smiled and said, "This mountain is called Yanzhi Mountain. It is an extremely important mountain ridge in Zhangye County and a famous mountain barrier in the northwest. Young man, A Fei took down this mountain and made great contributions. After obtaining this Yanzhi Mountain, there will be no steep barrier behind it."
The young hero in Spring and Autumn was full of smiles and was full of energy. A Fei was also very proud.
The female player who followed Qiu Shui suddenly bent down and picked up a bunch of red and blue flowers and plants from the ground, and was surprised: "What is this? What a beautiful grass."
Girls love flowers and plants, so no one cares about her behavior, and only treats them as ordinary flowers and plants.
Jiang Jiong's words surprised everyone. Jiang Jiong said: "This is a famous dye in Yanzhi Mountain, rouge grass. After the flowers are crushed, the juice can be removed, which can be used to dye cloth."
"dye?"
The young hero of Spring and Autumn, A Fei and others were delighted to get from the red and blue flowers and plants on the ground, their eyes full of "gold" hearts. Dyes and raw materials for dyeing cloth are equivalent to money. Not to mention anything else, just taking Yanzhi Mountain is taking a mountain of wealth.
Zhan Xiaobai looked at it from someone else's hand and was surprised: "Brother Jiong knows this? I wonder what allusions are there in this rouge grass?"
Jiang Xu said at this time: "Yes, there is indeed an allusion. Back then, General Huo Qubing, the cavalry, used the sword of the cavalry, and established a camp with the Yanzhi Mountain "not transporting grain for thousands of miles, and not transporting grass for a hundred miles" to defeat the Xiongnu. After this battle, the Xiongnu had to retreat to the north of Yanzhi Mountain. Since then, our Han Dynasty has recovered the Hexi Plain. Later, the Xiongnu left a song of lament: Losing our Qilian Mountains will prevent our livestock from surging. Losing our Yanzhi Mountains will make our women look colorless. This is lamenting the loss of Qilian Mountains and Yanzhi Mountains. "Anonymous. Songs of the Xiongnu". This Yanzhi Mountains and Rouge Grass has become famous because of this."
Jiang Xu was not interested in dyes, but was only interested in Huo Qubing's northern expedition to the Huns.
Jiang Jiong was also thinking about it.
Qiu Shui was quite interested in the rouge grass and said, "Oh, dye? I once heard from the Chamber of Commerce that there is a very good dye dye in Zhangye County, which is expensive. Could it be the rouge grass produced in Yanzhi Mountain? But since rouge grass is rich here, why did the village alliance in Zhangye County give up here?"
Zhan Xiaobai shook his head and said, "It's not that he gave up, but that he was not prepared enough to defend. Now the main force of the horse army is in Shandan, and the remaining dozens of alliances are also following Shandan. The village alliances are not united. The only guards here are the few village alliances near Yanzhi Mountain. Now they are also retreating to Shandan. If we cannot defeat the horse army, we can't defend this Yanzhi Mountain."
Jiang Xu said solemnly at this time: "Sir, whether you get it or not is not very important. There is another thing, but it is a hundred times more important!"
Zhan Xiaobai: "Oh, what?"
Jiang Xu said: "There is a top-quality grassland on the southern foot of Yanzhi Mountain, and a Shandan military horse farm was built. Since the Western Han Dynasty, it has been a royal horse farm, and high-quality war horses were tamed. Later, Liangzhou gradually became in chaos, and horse thieves rose everywhere. Moreover, Hexi was isolated from the court, so the horse farm was neglected. After the horses were able to play with Zhangye County, the horse farm was even abandoned. If a new military horse farm could be built, it would be extremely beneficial for our army to tame war horses and form cavalry."
Zhan Xiaobai nodded, "I also know some of the Shandan Army Horse Farm on the southern foot of Yanzhi Mountain. I am missing a place to raise horses in Wuwei. However, since the horse farm has been abandoned, I am not in a hurry to deal with it. When the horses are taken down and the entire Zhangye County is developed, it will not be too late."
Jiang Xu said it was.
Suddenly, an intelligence officer came and handed over a letter, reporting: "Report, leader! Ma Wan sent someone to send a letter of war and asked to fight to the decisive battle 40 miles outside Shandan Town at noon tomorrow."
Zhan Xiaobai took the war book and laughed. Before he could ask for war, Ma Wan came to them first. It seems that Ma Wan couldn't wait to resolve this military conflict. "Brother Xu, Brother Jiong, do you think how to deal with it?"
Jiang Xu said confidently: "Ma Wan is a big deal, so she voluntarily gave up Shandan Town to fight. I think she can fight with me."
Jiang Jiong also said: "Waring on the Shandan Plain, we have a better chance of winning, so we can fight quickly."
The young heroes of the Spring and Autumn Period, A Fei and other militants would not object.
"Okay, reply to the war letter for horses. At noon tomorrow, the decisive battle in the Shandan Plain! Notify the whole army to rest today and the decisive battle tomorrow."
......
At dawn the next day, the army set out to fight and headed to the battlefield.
The two sides were more than ten miles apart, and they arranged their troops and advanced slowly.
The Little White Alliance.
Zhan Xiaobai, the fifth-route army, personally led the army to the forefront, and was the main force of the Right Army. Eighty thousand mixed infantry were the main force, nearly 5,000 player cavalry, equipment troops, and Jiang Jiong's five thousand heavy armored soldiers followed Zhan Xiaobai's action.
The three routes of Qiu Shui Army, ninety complete thousand-man troops, a total of 90,000 infantry soldiers were the main force of the Left Army.
A Fei Army and the Young Heroes of the Two Routes, each led 30,000 infantry soldiers, and arranged on the left and right flanks to cover the main force. (After the players who died in the first and second Routes of the Pioneers were resurrected, they were re-entered into the army and restored the complete organization.)
In the fourth route, Jiang Xu, 20,000 Western Liang Iron Cavalry, and the high mobile troops, were the main rear army.
The Little White Alliance side moved forward in an inverted golden formation.
The list of main generals arranged in the front line: Zhan Xiaobai, Jiang Xu, Jiang Jiong, Qiu Shui, Chunqiu Shaoxia, A Fei. There are also military-level deputy generals, with as many as 200 people, distributed in front of the entire long legion.
Let’s look at the horse-playing camp.
Ma Wanjun personally led 7,000 heavy cavalry with extremely terrifying lethality to be the main central army.
The remaining twenty village alliances each formed a group of soldiers ranging from tens of thousands to tens of thousands, with a total of more than twenty square formations and only more than 300,000 soldiers. They were distributed in the rear, left and right directions of the Ma Wan Army. These corps had no relationship with each other except obeying the Ma Wan military orders.
The horses and soldiers are in the golden formation, and the main generals are arranged in the front: the horses and several NPC deputy generals. There are more than 20 players and more than 300 military-level generals.
Judging from the arrangement and force of troops alone, the gap between the two sides is not very obvious. In other words, the strength of one side of the horse is even more, but the combat power is a little worse.
The flags of the two armies flew and advanced, and they could hear each other's shouts for miles apart. Then they paused.
The soldiers on both sides were extremely nervous. This battle will determine the ownership of Zhangye County and may even affect the safety of Wuwei County. It can be said that it is the most far-reaching battle led by players so far in the game.
Almost most players have already started their own video recordings, hoping to record the most violent battle in the game they personally participated in.
Anyway, they were all face to face, so everyone was not in a hurry to start a fight immediately. The war began. According to the ancient customs and habits of China for thousands of years, the general always had to appear and scold him in advance, otherwise he would feel something was wrong.
Qiushui, the young heroes of Chunqiu, A Fei and other players, NPC generals all looked at Zhan Xiaobai. Not only them, but also hundreds of thousands of players, they all watched Zhan Xiaobai and horses play.
A Fei winked and whispered: "Oh, brother, according to the rules, it's time to verbally fight, why don't you serve you?"
Zhan Xiaobai naturally understood the expectations in everyone's eyes, kicked Ah Fei aside with a smile on his face. Then he coughed, majestic and shouted loudly: "Well, the thief horse on the opposite side will listen, surrender immediately, and spare you. Otherwise, you will peel your skin and suck your tendons, and the five horses will be dismembered, and the bones will not be left, so that you will not be able to turn over for a lifetime. If you don't believe it, cut your throat and look at it. Keep the King of Hell, you dare not accept it ※...%¥..."
I cursed for three minutes, and my mouth was dry before I stopped.
On the battlefield, almost all the players shivered, but they didn't expect that Xiaobai was so arrogant in scolding.
The historical general Ma Wan on the opposite side couldn't even get in. He was angry and knew that he could not scold him. He only "snorted" and shouted with a spear: "Ha, the ignorant child on the opposite side, when your grandfather Ma came out to hang out, you didn't know where you were. If you have the ability, come over and die quickly!" He said to the left and right, "Who will take this beast?"
A player general rode his horse and ran out, "Sir, let's see that my magic gun is invincible, take down the enemy's head!"
