On June 18th, at Mao hour, the Tang army camped.
The sky was just getting light, and the soldiers of the Tang Army were queuing up in the camp to receive breakfast, each holding a pottery bowl.
Today's breakfast was a bowl of porridge, some pickles, a few slices of large fat meat, and two large meat buns.
This configuration Breakfast is already very rich.
Many people are unwilling to carry pottery bowls during the march because they are a bit cumbersome.
Each soldier wearing heavy armor and carrying weapons, bows and arrows already has a heavy load.
Bringing such a solid pottery bowl will only increase the load even more.
However, Until they can find other substitute tableware, the soldiers can only reluctantly use pottery bowls.
After all, these things are strong and not easy to break, while exquisite porcelain bowls are easy to break.
However, the generals are reluctant to use exquisite porcelain bowls for the soldiers. porcelain bowl for eating.
After the person in front finished receiving the food and walked away, Chen Ergou came forward with a pottery bowl and handed it over.
The cook scooped a large spoonful of thick gruel into his pottery bowl, and scooped out some pickles.
Five big pieces of fat meat, and then two big meat buns were handed to him.
These buns were bigger than usual.
Looking at these breakfasts, Chen Ergou felt uneasy and always frightened.
He found his group and sat down together.
Someone saw that Chen Ergou was in a bad mood and joked: "Chen Ergou , look why you look wrong, did you masturbate too much last night?"
The fellow soldiers suddenly laughed loudly.
When they saw someone making fun of Chen Ergou, several others immediately made fun of Chen Ergou.
Chen Ergou also laughed and said: "Laugh, you can laugh while you can still laugh."
Smile more, you won’t have a chance later, you won’t be able to laugh even if you want to.”
Everyone saw that his expression was not as usual when he said this.
After thinking about it carefully, they realized that the words sounded wrong.
Someone immediately asked: "Ergou, what do you mean by this?"
Chen Ergou raised the pottery bowl in his hand and said, "Don't you think this breakfast is richer than usual?
The buns in the past were not so big.
You have eaten these big pieces of fat meat before."
Everyone lowered their heads to look at the breakfast in their bowls, and someone shouted: "Does this mean that the cooks are giving us a good meal?
So what?"
Chen Ergou snorted coldly: "The cooks don't have orders from officials.
They can give us extra food for free.
How can an official be so kind?"
Someone finally reacted and said, "Ergou, you are saying that there will be a war today.
This is not surprising.
There is no war these days."
Chen Ergou said: "I'm afraid this is the final decisive battle.
If we win, there will be nothing to say.
If we lose, it will be the last meal for many people."
Everyone was silent after listening to Chen Ergou's words.
It took a while before someone said: "Whatever, no one will die in a war.
Thousands of people will die these days.
I heard that the left and right wings are dying every day these days."
It's two to three thousand people.
It's useless for us to think about it here.
We might as well eat and drink enough to have the strength to fight against Dashi, and even if we die, we will be a dead ghost."

The others looked at each other, and soon someone agreed: "Yes, even if you die, you must eat like a full man, eat as hard as you can, and then you can fight against the big cannibal."
At this time, sighing and being greedy for life and fearing death have no effect.
Some veterans who have fought many battles have rich experience.
They know that the more afraid of death on the battlefield, the faster they will die.
If they want to survive, they can only be more cruel and fierce than others.
Sure enough, as Chen Ergou expected, not long after breakfast, a military order came from the Chinese army's tent.
All units in the army gathered with weapons and arrows on standby.
The soldiers each received a pot of arrows and then found their own teams with their weapons.
Assembling at the location, the military leaders began to count the number of people.
Not long after, the generals and captains came and ordered the soldiers to check their armor, weapons, bows and arrows.
Then a general came forward and said a lot of encouraging words, which was nothing more than asking the soldiers not to be greedy for life or fear of death after going into battle. , we must obey military orders and move forward bravely.
Immediately afterwards, the Chinese army marched and ordered, and the ministries that received the order formed their military camps and advanced towards the food army, while only a few people were left in the military camp to guard the camp and the wounded soldiers.
After the Chinese army's camp was dispatched, the soldiers from the left and right wing camps also dispatched at the same time, forming a neat military formation and slowly advancing in the direction of the Dashi military camp.
At this time, the food army was not idle either.
They got up very early, before dawn, performed morning prayers before the sun rose, and then had breakfast.
After breakfast, they began to assemble under the orders of the generals.
The large-scale gathering made everyone understand that the scale of today's battle was probably bigger than the previous days, and it was likely to be the final decisive battle.
When the Tang army arrived at the middle of the camps of the two armies, the food army also arrived.
The two sides stopped about a mile apart and began to organize their queues, count equipment, and the generals boosted morale and explained matters in front of their respective teams.
Behind the military formations of the two armies, each had its own military band.
On the Tang Army's side, there was a group of soldiers carrying a long, curved copper horn that was dragged on the ground.
The thick trumpet of the copper horn faced the direction of the military formation.
The soldiers together Puff up your cheeks and blow, this special sound seems extremely desolate and vast, but also exciting and full of fighting spirit; and behind the military formation of the Dashi Army, there was also a row of soldiers, each holding a horn horn to their mouths and playing.
Although this sound was different from the Tang Army's long copper The horn is different, but the sound it makes is also the same.
The officers and soldiers of the two armies were bathed in these two voices, brewing fighting spirit and boosting morale.
Gao Xianzhi stood on the high command platform of the rear army and squinted his eyes at the military formation of the Food Army in front.
They were all cavalry, and they were all light cavalry.
Among these light cavalry were thousands of camel soldiers.
The sun has completely risen.
Gao Xianzhi raised his right hand and waved forward: "The cavalry on both wings and the Modao team at the front of the Chinese army are ready to attack the infantry with crossbows."
The military order was quickly issued, and the cavalry commanders on the left and right sides, Li Fei Yuanli and Duan Xiushi, immediately raised their weapons and shouted: "Raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while.
The time has come to serve the country.
All soldiers follow me to kill."
"Kill" the cavalry of the Tang Army rushed out from both wings.
The rumble of horse hooves directly covered up the sound of military music, but at this time, the sound of huge war drums began to resound throughout the battlefield.
The sound of the drums fell on the hearts of all the soldiers like a heavy hammer. , making their blood surge and their veins pop out.
"Kill!"
the soldiers of the Tang Army kept shouting and galvanized their horses to keep up with the comrades in front of them, trying to stay consistent with their comrades in the same row.
He Lou Yurun, the commander of the Modao Army of the Chinese Army, held up his long and shining Modao and shouted at the neatly lined up Modao Army behind him: "Mo Dao Army, I am invincible, move forward."
There were waves of deafening sounds coming from behind: "Ho ho ho ho" "Boom, boom, boom!"
The soldiers of Mo Dao Team advanced slowly forward in neat steps.
The Mo Dao was manufactured and used in the military during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, but it was actually used on a large scale during the Kaiyuan period of Xuanzong.
When Zhao Ziliang was the governor of the Suiye Dudu Mansion, he improved the then-immature Mo Dao combat method. , and made Li Siye, who had some experience and research on the Modao War, the commander of the Modao Army.
Later, Zhao Ziliang left Anxi and recommended Li Siye to Fumeng Lingcha.
Fumeng Lingcha admired Li Siye very much and appointed him as a Yamen general, and was specifically responsible for the Modao army of the Anxi army.

This Modao army led by He Lou Yurun It was formed by Li Siye, and its combat effectiveness is very extraordinary.
On the battlefield, it can almost kill gods when gods block it, and Buddha when it blocks Buddha.
The Dashi Army also began to charge.
The cavalry from the left, center and right launched an attack from the front line.
The momentum was no weaker than that of the Tang Army.
On the Tang Army's commander's stage, most of the important figures from the Anxi military and political circles were here.
The civil servants could see Their hearts were surging.
They had never seen such a battle scene involving hundreds of thousands of people in their lives.
Perhaps this would be the only time in their lives that a civil servant became so popular in poetry that he composed a poem on the spot and won the favor of other officials. bursts of applause.
At this time, a Tang Army scout came on horseback.
He reined in his horse beside the commander's platform, stopped with his fists clasped and his head raised, and reported: "Report to General, our right-wing barbarian army defeated the Dashi Army's left-wing servant army with absolute superiority.
The food servants were vulnerable and fled in all directions.
At this time, our army had already entered the opponent's left wing camp."
The officials and generals on the stage were overjoyed when they heard this, and they all said to Gao Xianzhi: "The right wing has made a good start.
It seems that there is no suspense in this battle."
Gao Xianzhi was not so happy.
He knew that it was too early to say that there was no suspense at this time.
The final outcome of this battle did not depend on how the two wings fought.
No matter how well the two wings fought, the situation would remain the same until the victory was determined by the Chinese army.
It's unclear, but it's not without benefits to fight well on both wings.
At least there is no threat to the right wing of the Tang Army.
If necessary, troops can be transferred from the right wing to join the battle in the middle.
Gao Xianzhi didn't say anything.
He put up a pergola and looked at the middle of the Great Food Army's formation.
After the front cavalry of the Great Food Army rushed over, the situation in the middle part became clear.
He saw a bright cavalry in the middle of the Great Food Army.
The men and horses seemed to be wrapped in iron armor.
This is the heavy armored cavalry.
Gao Xianzhi felt a little bad when he saw these about three thousand heavy armored cavalry.
He didn't know if the Mo Dao team could withstand the charge of these three thousand heavy armored cavalry, but for the sake of safety, He still decided to mobilize troops from both wings.
After all, the main force of the Chinese army was still weaker than the main force of the food army.
"Call here, now that the right wing has invaded the enemy's left wing camp, Zhao Hu is ordered to send 10,000 Hu cavalry for reinforcements.
After the reinforcements arrive, there is no need to pause, and the enemy's main left wing will be attacked directly from the right wing."
"Follow orders" After Gao Xianzhi issued the order, he asked Liang Zai, the deputy envoy of Jiedu: "Hasn't the news come from the left wing yet?"
Liang Zai shook his head and said, "Not yet."
At this time, the two armies finally collided together, and large pieces of the cavalry on both wings fell one after another at the contact points.
The cavalry behind them continued to rush toward each other.
The front of the central army of the Great Food Army finally ran into the Tang Army's Modao Team.
I saw a flash of sword light.
The front cavalry of the Great Food Army fell one after another.
The soldiers of the Modao Team were covered in blood and stepped on the enemy's corpse without stopping.
They stopped and advanced slowly, but the Mo Dao team still suffered some casualties.
The soldiers behind immediately filled the gap in front and continued to move forward
