Changge, located in the middle of Xinzheng and Changshe, at the same time it has also become one of the places where the two armies of the Xia and Song dynasties exchanged fierce fire, although the decisive battle between the two armies has not yet begun, but the tentative offensive of the two sides has begun, and the Changge area has been selected as a new battlefield, so the people living in Changge City have long fled with their families, and the whole Changge has become a huge powder keg.
Before the action of Yongwang Li De, Zhang Dunli first drove his army into Changge to occupy a favorable situation and prepared a field offensive outside Changge City, the field offensive of the Song army was backed by Changge City, which was a battlefield carefully selected by Zhang Dunli, if the Song army had an unfavorable situation, it could also retreat to Changge City in order to preserve his maximum strength, that is to say, Zhang Dunli was already thinking of retreating before the war.
"According to our current marching speed, the prince will not be able to reach the battlefield until noon tomorrow at the earliest."
The adjutant reminded Yongwang Li De.
"Tomorrow at noon, tomorrow at noon," Li De said very indifferently.
"But Lord Wang, isn't it equivalent to giving the Song army an extra quarter of an hour to prepare every night, and the last general advises our army to arrive at the battlefield as quickly as possible."
"Then how do you say you can get to the battlefield as quickly as possible?"
asked Li De to the adjutant general.
"Lord Wang, the reason why our army marched so slowly is entirely because it has brought these nearly 30,000 ploughing cattle, and if we give up these ploughing cattle, our army will be able to arrive at ten o'clock this evening."
"The king tells you that these ploughing cattle are more important than you, and that it is impossible for the king to give up them; The herald ordered these ploughing cattle to be well watched, and if there is one missing, you are the only one who asks.
Yongwang Li De said sternly.
"Yes, the last general commands," the adjutant general said helplessly.
Xia Jun's action this time was surprisingly slow, so slow that Zhang Dunli was a little muttered, in the camp of the Changge Song Army, Zhang Dunli would receive a report every other hour, the movements of the Xia Army can be said to be completely within Zhang Dunli's control, in order to meet the Xia Army Zhang Dunli can be said to be painstaking, the Song Army dug a large number of trap pits, horses, thistles and other defensive weapons on their scheduled battlefield, if Li De suddenly changed his route at this time, then Zhang Dunli's losses would be too great, Therefore, Zhang Dunli has been paying close attention to Xia Jun's actions.
Finally, the forward troops of the Xia army arrived at the battlefield, which made Zhang Dunli breathe a sigh of relief, the Xia army was stationed thirty miles away from Changgecheng, and the distance between them was the battlefield that Zhang Dunli chose for the Xia army "Lord Wang, the army has been encamped."
The adjutant general said to Li De after entering the big tent of the Chinese army.
Li De took out a letter that had already been written and said to the adjutant general: "Send someone to send this battle letter to the Song army camp and hand it over to Zhang Dunli." ” "The prince means to make an appointment with the Song army," the deputy general asked puzzled.
Li De said with a smile: "Then it depends on whether Zhang Dunli dares to fight, if not, there is no need for us to waste time here." ” Li De actually understands his situation very well, and he also understands what he wants the result to be; Li De wanted a field battle with the Song army instead of a siege war, if the Song army had been cowering in Changge City, Li De would definitely not continue to waste time here, because Li De had no time to waste, Li De desperately wanted to start a decisive battle with the Song army to solve the crisis he was currently facing.
In the camp of the Song army, Zhang Dunli received Li De's war letter, after seeing the war book, Zhang Dunli was happy, and the decisive battle with the Xia army was also what Zhang Dunli was looking forward to, not to mention that Zhang Dunli had made sufficient preparations, Zhang Dunli said to the comer: "Go back and tell your lord, tomorrow the battlefield will be a showdown" Both sides have their own plans for the decisive battle in the field, but the outcome of everything will not be known until the end of the battle, and the reason why Zhang Dunli dared to fight with the Xia cavalry in the field is actually his own considerations; In Zhang Dunli's view, if the current situation continues, the Song army can only run behind the cavalry of the Xia army forever, unless the superior forces are gathered for large-scale encirclement and suppression, but now the Song army has no troops to draw, in this case, it is better to fight a decisive battle as soon as possible, and Zhang Dunli has also made sufficient preparations, with the advantage of three times the force, it is not impossible to defeat the cavalry of the Xia army.
In the early morning of the next day, 50,000 Xia troops and 150,000 Song troops arrived at the predetermined battlefield, and the Song army set up a defensive formation as soon as it came up, under the command of Zhang Dunli, the Song army used nearly 1,000 carts to form a circle formation, and prepared catapults, bed crossbows, rockets and other objects in the circle array, once the Xia cavalry launched an attack, it was bound to be attacked head-on.
Looking at the defensive formation of the Song army, Li De took a breath and said: "Zhang Dunli really gave face to this king, and he actually set up such a big battle. ” "Lord Wang, the Song army has made sufficient preparations, or we should withdraw," the adjutant general suggested to Li De; "We only have 50,000 troops, if the losses are too great, what will we do in the future?"
"Withdraw at this time, isn't it to let Song Jun see our jokes," Li De said angrily; "We are the invincible army of the Great Xia Empire, and you let this king escape before this battle is fought, is this like a word?"
"Command the army to prepare to attack," Li De immediately gave the military order.
"Yes, the last general commands" Under the command of Li De, the cavalry of the Xia army was ready to move, but Li De did not give the final military order to attack; On the other side, Zhang Dunli was also anxious when he saw that the Xia army had not yet attacked, and finally the Xia army's military formation moved, and nearly 30,000 ploughing cattle were driven up from behind, and Zhang Dunli was instantly dumbfounded when he saw the ploughing cattle in front of the Xia army.
"What are you going to do when Xia Jun prepares so many ploughing cattle, do you want to surrender to Ben Shuai," Zhang Dunli said with a smile.
But soon Zhang Dunli couldn't laugh, the soldiers of the Xia army suddenly ignited the tail of the ox that had been soaked in oil, and the ploughing ox that suffered pain rushed forward at the fastest speed, their goal was the Song army's defensive array, these ploughing cattle were no longer simple ploughing cattle, all the ploughing cattle were helped with sharp blades on the horns, and some ploughing cattle were also tied together with iron nail cylinders, ploughing cattle will drive the drum forward while running forward, and the people who are pressed by the drum will definitely die.
Zhang Dunli didn't expect Li De to play the fire ox array, and in the face of the movement of tens of thousands of fire oxen, Zhang Dunli panicked for a while and forgot how to deal with it, and the soldiers of the Song army also panicked; After all, the Fire Ox Array was only used once by Tian Dan, and it was only a few hundred cows, which were tens of thousands; Of course, the herd also lost a lot of money when it ran forward, and some were pricked by thistles, fell into a pit, were impaled by horses, and were trampled to death by their companions.
Although the losses were very large, the attack power of the Fire Bull Array was also very strong, and Zhang Dunli, who reacted, immediately ordered to release the arrows, and all the weapons that could be used were used, but even so, it still couldn't stop the attack of the Fire Bull Array, and the Song army first had a fierce collision with tens of thousands of fire bulls.
