{Thank you, friend, for the two monthly passes for wandering in the sea of bitterness} The 16,000 soldiers of the Ming army ate bacon fried noodles every day, the army strictly lit fires, and the limited grain of the army was also left for the horses to eat, and everyone drilled sleeping bags in the bushes, but fortunately, the weather in October was getting colder, and the mosquitoes gradually disappeared, but even so, the conditions were extremely difficult.
However, the whole army is aware of the importance of this battle, and no one complains, not to mention that Yang Yan, as the current king and the future emperor, still shares weal and woe with the soldiers, so the army maintains a strong morale, but no one can bear to eat bacon fried noodles for more than half a month, and now the soldiers are looking forward to fighting as soon as possible, defeating Qian Feng and Li Banjun, and taking his grain and grass to eat a hot meal.
Unconsciously, five days passed, the rain that lasted for nearly a month finally stopped, the sun returned to the earth, and everyone was suddenly relieved, and there was a sense of joy to see the light of day again. zhngjiàn couldn't help but say: "I haven't been to Jiangnan, I really don't know the suffering of Jiangnan, I have heard the name of Jiangdong Meiyu, but there will be sunshine in the next day or two, and it has rained here for a month, which can be regarded as an eye-opener." ” Guo Yu echoed: "Yes, it's better to be in the north, but since the rain has stopped, presumably the two armies will fight soon, and I really look forward to coming soon."
This is also the voice of the whole army "The rain has stopped" Qian Feng stood in the camp, looking at the blue sky that had been lost for a long time, and sighed with emotion.
According to the information sent by Xizuo every one or two days, Yang Yan is still in Xiangyang, and the frequency of going out has increased compared with before, and every time he is in a hurry, which makes Qian Feng more convinced that there is indeed a big event in the north, Yang Yan did not return to Luoyang, and went out frequently in Xiangyang, probably arranging an attack on Chang'an, so that Liu Yao did not dare to move lightly.
"Shiyi, it's time to make a decision."
Wei Cong said.
Qian Feng nodded: "The longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it becomes, but the army is stationed in the forest, and there are many precautions against our army, our army attacked rashly, but he took advantage of the location, and he must have been prepared to set fire to the forest, and it has just rained, the forest is damp, and he may not be able to burn, and he has to try to lure him out."
Wei Haha smiled: "This matter is not difficult, we can take advantage of the night to sneak around his back, find the direction of the wind and set fire, although the forest is damp and not easy to burn, but it can burn a lot of smoke, force him out of the woods, and then take advantage of the chaos to attack, but it can be decided in a battle" "Good" Qian Feng shouted: "Just according to what General Wei said" "Ben will arrange it immediately, and I hope Shiyi will make a feint in front of him to attract Li Ban's attention" Wei showed a sinister smile, arched his hand, and hurried away.
In the early morning of the next day, it became a military camp Due to the sunny weather, Li Ban and Li Xiang summoned the generals to discuss the matter, and the topic was nothing more than whether to retreat, or to engage the Jingxiang army, and if so, what form should it take, so they set up a suspicious formation, lure the enemy to attack, fight a defensive counterattack, and gain a name and righteousness, or directly take the initiative to raid with crude means and severely damage the Jingxiang army.
The main body of the army is the descendants of the Qin Yong exiles who followed Li Te, Li Xiong and his son into Shu, who are tall and big, and have a psychological advantage over the relatively short southern army, and the bloodline has an inescapable connection with Qiangdi, and has a brave side, so a large part of them clamored for a decisive battle with the Jingxiang army.
But Li Xiong's situation is much better than Wang Dun, unlike Wang Dun lost his aunt, Jiangjing, Xiangliang and Zhuzhou are equivalent to being kicked open by the Ming army, and there is no other way to go without entering Shu, and he is almost forced to a dead end, and Li Xiong has the entire Bashu as a backing, even if the battle is futile, there is no actual loss.
Besides, the army has not fought for nearly twenty years, what kind of concept is this In the world of great controversy, others fought desperately, but he had not experienced actual combat for a whole generation, that is to say, a whole generation behind, and the Chengdu Plain, which was rich in products, was very easy for people to step into the cycle of slow-paced and leisurely life, and it was difficult to have an enterprising spirit, so more generals opposed the war with the Jingxiang army and asked to return to Bashu.
After all, Li Ban has the need to make meritorious contributions, but the generals don't, compared with suffering on the front line, or even giving their lives, how can they go back to Chengdu to support their wives and concubines, taste all kinds of food, and enjoy singing and dancing to have a happy life The two sides did not give in to each other, and the quarrel became a mess.
At this time, a guard suddenly came to report: "Report to the prince, Taifu {Li Xiang}, Jingxiang's army is coming." ” "What" The generals on both sides were stunned, and the quarrel came to an abrupt end.
The enemy has all hit the door, and what is the noise Li Ban is overjoyed, because of his vital interests, he is a firm main battle faction, and at this time he really can't wait to shout: Those who know me, Qian Shiyi also "Quick, go out and see" Li Xiang looked at Li Ban with a complicated expression and waved his hand violently.
The generals followed Li Ban and stepped out of the Chinese army's tent one after another.
Originally, the location of the decisive battle was set in Yiling, in addition to the complex terrain, but also because the distance between Yiling and Wuchang and Yizhou was almost equal, and no one could send reinforcements in a short time, so they could only fight hard.
After a while, a group of people walked to the front of the village, and saw that the opposite side was separated by a mile or two, and a team of Jingxiang troops rushed over, surrounding the woods to prepare for the attack on the camp, because they were afraid that they could not escape from the fire plan, so they did not dig a trench in front of the village, and Qian Fengzheng commanded the soldiers to distribute according to the terrain and build temporary siege equipment.
"Qian Shiyi, what do you mean?"
Li Xiang pulled his old voice and called loudly.
"Hmph" Qian Feng snorted coldly: "The prime minister is kind enough to help you and guard the royal gate for your Bashu, but you and others collude with the Ming Kingdom and intend to attack our army on both sides, Qian Mou will ask, are you waiting for your conscience to be eaten by dogs?"
"You're spewing blood" "The Wu people are really treacherous" Suddenly, whether it was the main battle faction or the main peace faction, they were all furious, and whoever could bear it would be slandered when they came up Li Ban raised his arms and shouted at the right time: "The Wu people have already premeditated, colluded with the Ming army, betrayed us and others, and died without fighting today, and I hope that you will work together to drink congratulatory wine with Gu" "Whoever kills Qian Feng, he will be rewarded with 10,000 catties of gold, promoted to SNJI, and given a third-class knight" Li Xiang also shouted.
"Kill" The officers and men of the whole army raised their weapons and shouted, full of indignation and murderous spirit Qian Feng just smiled coldly, unhurriedly arranged, and waited until noon, the sun was shining, and then launched a tentative attack, in front of the two armies, the arrows were staggered, and the shouts of killing came and went, but the Jingxiang army did not break through the defense line of the Cheng army, and the Cheng army did not realize that the Jing Xiang army actually relied on the attack and quietly occupied the favorable terrain in front of the wall, so as to wait for the Cheng army to be smoked out of the village by the smoke, surrounded and annihilated.
A slight warm breeze came to his face, and Wei looked back and smiled: "This is really God help me, I guess it's time to set fire." ” "Hmm" Qian Feng smiled slightly.
Yes, although it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity of Hu Cai's southward journey, but he is already on the bow, and he has to send it, today's battle is successful, only to tomorrow, you can lay the victory, and the remnants of the army will be defeated for two days at most, and then they will divide their troops with Wei, one to take Badong, one to take Jiangzhou, open up the road into Shu, and go down to Chengdu with heavy troops.
According to the collection of Li Xiong's intelligence and the personal witness when he met Li Xiong, Qian Feng believed that Li Xiong was no longer the homeless handsome man who dared to fight to the death, and twenty years of comfort made Li Xiong lose his ambition and indulge in wine.
Such a person, Xu Gao, a high-ranking official, may surrender without a fight Qian Feng couldn't forget the shock in his heart when he saw Li Xiong, the white and pure face, the delicate and smooth skin that was still nearly fifty years old, and the huge body like a mountain of meat, which brought him an indescribable impact.
He really couldn't imagine that such a person would be the founding monarch, and even he found that Li Xiong's thinking seemed to be a little stiff, not too flexible, and some of his own views and opinions needed to be answered with spaced thinking, or the donkey's head was not the horse's mouth.
No wonder Liu Zhang and Liu Chan will surrender the city one after another It's so cozy.
Qian Feng felt that as long as he could break the army in Yiling, he would repeat the grand occasion of Liu Bei's entry into Shu, and the army would surrender to the wind, and the army would arrive in Chengdu Success or failure lies in this battle Qian Feng's hands trembled a little.
"Okay, it's burning" Wei suddenly shouted hello, pulling Qian Feng back to reality.
Sure enough, behind the camp that stretched for dozens of miles of the army, there was thick smoke swirling into the air, and under the blowing of the breeze, it pressed over unhurriedly.
This made Qian Feng think of Yang Yan, when Yang Yan broke Yan Ping, he burned the reeds and smoked them, and he learned a trick from them, covering his face with wet wipes can prevent inhaling thick smoke, so he turned around and ordered: "Prepare wet wipes and distribute them to each battalion" "No" Several henchmen rushed away. 。
