Chapter 511

Han Dang and Jiang Qin, a soldier in the army and a ranger in the village, are not of high birth, and have never read any books, let alone the art of war.

However, the two have led troops for many years, especially Han Dang, who traveled from the far north of Youzhou to the south of the Yangtze River all the way to the south of the Yangtze River.Although I can't say that "those who disturb the army will not be serious; those who move the banner will be in chaos." Experience and vision are not bad.

The Jingzhou army on the opposite side had messy banners and staggered teams. At first glance, it seemed to fit the image of the army's turmoil and hastily going to battle, but for some reason, Han Dang felt something was wrong.

Jiang Qin was not as sharp as Han Dang, but he was modest and prudent. After listening to Han Dang's doubts and careful observation, he slowly noticed something was wrong.

Han Dang was resolute, and immediately sent hundreds of light soldiers to test the Jingzhou army.

The results proved that their feelings were correct. The chaos of the Jingzhou Army was only on the surface. In fact, the phalanx was scattered but not chaotic, and the soldiers were mixed and orderly. The light soldiers sent were quickly defeated.

Han Dang and Jiang Qin couldn't help but look at each other, suspicious in their hearts, the Jingzhou army is so elite?Even in the face of being cut off from the rear and the morale of the army is unstable, can they still maintain their combat effectiveness?
Jiang Qin frowned deeply, and said to Han Dang: "Lieutenant Han, although Sun Fujun ordered Sun Luling to attack Yichun, we have not received any news from the south so far. Do you think that the various performances of the Chu thieves in the past few days will affect the situation?" Could it be a trap deliberately set up to lure us out?"

"Probably not," Han Dang thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "The Chu thief indeed sent thousands of people back to aid Yichun the day before yesterday. Our Tanqi followed all the way and saw the Chu thief crossing the river west with his own eyes, and we didn't find the Chu thief sneaking behind us." back."

Han Dang speculated: "Perhaps the Chu bandits rely on Liu Jing in the north for Austrian aid, and Zhuge Liang's ability to manage the army, so they panic and do not panic..."

While Han Dang and Jiang Qin were discussing, Sun Ben rode [-] horses out of Nanchang to join them.At the same time, the Jingzhou army also opened the gates of the camp, filed out, and galloped to the battlefield.

Sun Ben rode out of the front of the formation on horseback and looked at the Jingzhou army's position opposite. He saw that the Jingzhou army's phalanx moved with the flag, and the soldiers moved like arms and fingers. There was almost no noise in the entire position except for the sound of moving.

After the formation was completed, the soldiers of Jingzhou were covered in blackness, boundless, like a dark cloud covering the entire field of vision.Banners of various colors live in the middle, flying in the wind, spears are densely packed like a forest, and the black armor is dazzling. Looking from a distance, it gives people a strong sense of oppression.

No need for Han Dang, Jiang Qin and Sun Ben to say anything at this time, as long as you are not blind, you can see that the Jingzhou army on the opposite side is a tiger-wolf division with strong morale and strict military discipline.

Seeing such an opponent, Sun Ben couldn't help becoming suspicious, and his mind was also in a mess. The idea of ​​victory before the battle had long been thrown out of the sky, but it was a pity that the arrow was already on the string and had to be launched.

Of course, Sun Ben was the chief general of an army, so he couldn't show his timidity under the watchful eyes of everyone, and he always had a look of wisdom in his hands.

For Sun Ben, the only good news is that after the Jingzhou Army divides its forces and returns to aid, the number of people able to fight is not much larger than that of the Jiangdong Army.

In view of the strength of the Chu thieves, Sun Ben decided to revise the plan, changing from offense to defense, with Han Dang as the front, Pan Zhang as the left, and Jiang Qin as the right. Sun Ben himself will center the elite and stand ready.

It was sunrise, and the [-] soldiers of the Jingzhou Army held their breaths and stood still, quietly waiting for the command to be issued by the simply decorated vehicle of the Chinese Army.

In Suyu, Zhuge Liang was sitting upright with his chest full of confidence. With the anticipation of all the people, he pointed his hand flag forward, and the flag waved accordingly. In an instant, dozens of cowhide drums were beating at the same time.

The Jingzhou army took the lead in attacking, neither the central army of Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, nor the right army of Cai Sheng, but the left army of the five Jingmans under the command of Shan Rifeng.

The five Jingman tribes under Shan Rifeng's command are mainly composed of the old Hengshan tribe and the Wulingman tribe, with a total strength of more than 4000 men.

The old troops of Hengshan joined Liu Jing under Shan Rifen's command. After many years of fighting, their armor and weapons were no different from those of Han soldiers. In addition, Shan Riqiu was good at running the army, and his combat power was not inferior to that of the Han camp.

Wuling Man is wild and unruly, tough and aggressive. Relying on his own bravery and geographical advantages, he once fought bloody battles against the well-equipped Han army for more than a hundred years. After a single day of training, Wuling Man's combat power has improved rapidly, and he has caught up with the old Hengshan. .

Shan Rixun was born in a barbarian family, but he had great ambitions. Last year he led his troops to stay in Wuling and failed to accompany Liu Jing in the Northern Expedition. Later, although he went north to suppress the Deng Zhong and Deng Ren rebellion in the Three Gorges, this little credit is only for him. better than nothing.

This time when they attacked Yuzhang, they reached the city of Nanchang with almost no bloodshed. Now that Sun Ben had finally been lured out, Shan Riqiu couldn't bear it anymore, so he immediately volunteered to join the army and climbed first.

Seeing that he was eager to fight, Zhuge Liang happily agreed.

The banner of the Jiangdong army on the opposite side was "Biebu Sima Jiang", and Shan Ri pouted his lips disdainfully at this. His current official position is Hengshan Zhonglang, and he has been recognized by the Han court. Biebu Sima is nothing. He has several army Sima and other Sima under his command.

With a single order, more than [-] people from the front battalion quickly advanced to the Jiangdong Army position.

The Jing Man rushing to the front was obviously taller and stronger than the companions behind. They not only wore thick armor, but also held a few feet of boards in their hands to cover their whole bodies.

Behind these armored soldiers are crossbowmen holding horned crossbows, and behind the crossbowmen are swords, spears, etc., without exception, they all use the standard weapons of the Han people.

The two sides were more than a hundred steps away, and the Jiangdong Army's position began to shoot with bows and crossbows. Jingman let the arrows rain down, raised his head, and continued to charge until he was tens of steps away, before the Jingman pulled the crossbow. Shouting to fight back, just one round of crossbow shooting, the result is comparable to Jiangdong Army's multiple rounds of shooting.

First, approaching to shoot, the lethality is stronger.Secondly, Jingman has a tradition of crossbow hunting. Most of the crossbowmen under Shan Riyi's command were veteran crossbow hunters before, and their crossbow shooting skills surpassed those of the Jiangdong army crossbowmen on the opposite side.

Jingman's second round of crossbow shots came quickly, but this time the Jiangdong Army was prepared and responded adequately. Most of the crossbow arrows were blocked by Peng Pai. Only a small amount of arrows passed through the gap in the shield wall and hurt the soldiers inside. .

Jingman then launched the third and final round of crossbow shooting. At this time, the two sides were already close at hand. All the Jingman warriors were brave and fearless. Tear a gap.

Behind him, Jingman, holding a sword, spear and banyan, swarmed in along the gap, fighting with the soldiers of the Jiangdong army.

Due to Jingman's straightforward temperament and bloody combative characteristics, there was no temptation at all, and the battle between the two sides fell into a fierce battle from the very beginning.
