Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 322 The advantage is in me again

The sun had just passed overhead, and Shi Congyun looked at the assembled army just out of the mountain pass a few miles away, feeling indescribable in his heart.

It's impossible not to be nervous. Ordinary people can be so nervous that they can't sleep in every exam. What's more, it's a matter of life and death at such a critical juncture.

Even though he has fought so many battles and won so many battles, he is regarded as a legend of invincibility in the eyes of the world, but every time the tension between life and death is not only psychological, but also makes his heart beat faster, his whole body is tense and weak, Dizziness soaring to headache and difficulty falling asleep.

Sometimes a few days before the big battle, or when the fight is anxious, the calculations and random thoughts about the outcome are always in my mind, and it is normal to sleep for three or four hours a day when I am half asleep and half awake.

After becoming an emperor, he has experienced so much, but he has a little understanding of the half-life warriors represented by Li Cunxu in history. Seeing that great achievements are about to be accomplished, but indulged in sensual pleasures, he has lost his ambition.

Fighting is tiring and stressful, and it is a physical and psychological torture. Not everyone can persist for a long time, or there are very few people who can persist.

"Take someone to go around behind the cowshed over there, and go to the west to see if there are any of them." Shi Congyun watched the changes in front of the position, and at the same time spoke to the soldiers around him.

The personal soldiers took the order and took a few people from the back of the village to the west, passed a thatched cowshed in the distance, and then went to the rear to investigate.

In the distance, a large regiment is unfolding, tens of thousands of people form all over the mountains and plains. There is a large field in front of the village. From the small road in the west, go east through several ditches used for irrigation in the fields, and reach a small peach grove in the east. place, stretching for several miles.

This is only the frontier position of the Qin army. The rebel line on the opposite side is longer, and it looks like four or five miles away. Both sides have a tacit understanding that they just lined up and did not take the lead in attacking.

At this time, Guo Jin, who had talked a lot before, did not dare to speak anymore. He is a capable minister, and he has led troops to wipe out bandits several times. However, Guo Jin has never seen such a large-scale battle of tens of thousands of regular troops. Looked afraid to speak.

On the other hand, Wang Shenqi was very determined. He followed Shi Cong to fight the Northern War in Yunnan. He had seen such scenes many times: "The officials are wise, and Li Yun is not a mediocre player on the battlefield. Such a big battle must be reserved somewhere."

Shi Congyun smiled and said, "Well, the east is not easy, the west is the most likely, and the mountain is the best, just enough to block our sight, and the other side is flat."

He raised his horsewhip and pointed to the mountain that was only 200 meters high behind the rebels in the west.

Wang Shenqi looked at it for a while and nodded in agreement: "Officials, looking at the front of the bandit army, there are only 5 to [-] people. I guess there may be a lot of people released there."

"If it was you, how much would you put?" Shi Congyun asked while watching the rebels' formation, and the opponent's movements began to be a little unexpected to him. A large number of people were moving slowly, but they didn't look like It's a traditional formation.

"At least [-], [-] is the best. If you come from the west, go there." Wang Shenqi pointed to a gentle slope in the east of the village. In the fields on the flanks of the army's position, there is a flat river.

"That would threaten our flank."

Shi Congyun was very relieved, Wang Shenqi was worthy of being the one who fought so many battles with him, he saw it very thoroughly, and Guo Jin and other officials couldn't get in the way at this moment.

Generals like them who have fought large-scale corps battles, the first thing they think of is to keep the reserve team, because this is completely different from strangling with a small number of troops.

When there are too many people, it is difficult to look at each other from head to tail, and the battle line can be opened for several miles casually. It is completely impossible to rely on other places for support when fighting. support.

As for this kind of support force, the cavalry with strong mobility is the best, and it can quickly support all parts of the front.

Among the cavalry, the light cavalry is the best, because the support force needs to be flexible, and it must be able to fill gaps everywhere and fight flexibly.

The light cavalry is destined to be good at raiding the enemy's left flank, which is determined by human physiological characteristics, just like in the infantry formation, elite troops will be deployed on the right flank.

Therefore, the reserve team of the rebel army is likely to be in the west. Li Yun is also a veteran general who has fought against the Liao Kingdom and the Northern Han Dynasty all the year round, so it should not be underestimated.

After a while, the scout came back and hurriedly reported to him that a large number of enemy cavalry were found in the woods behind the mountain to the west.

Shi Congyun immediately said: "General Wang, you lead the cavalry of the two cavalry armies to the west to occupy the hillside behind the cowshed. If they come from the west, you will intercept them."

"Promise!" Wang Shenqi took the order, Shi Congyun gave the command flag, and he immediately rode to lead the man.

Only then did he realize that something was wrong with the big formation on the opposite side. The big formation on the other side was not an offensive formation.

Originally, he thought that the opponent had a large number of people and would form a crescent formation, or cavalry and wild goose formation, in an overall attacking posture, but they also cautiously put up a defensive posture, and did not take the lead in attacking posture.

The old man played Khitan so beautifully the year before last, it seems that Li Yun's madness has turned mad, and his heart is empty, Shi Congyun thought to himself, and he felt proud, and his nervousness dissipated a lot.

Less than half an hour later, the continuous army on the opposite side also finished forming, with flags all over the field, and the long line was like a black tide, drawing a long line at the foot of the mountain in the distance.

Both sides were watching. Shi Congyun rode his horse directly, crossing the avenue and farmland surrounded by many soldiers, and arrived at the front of the position. His magnificent banner moved with him, so that the whole army could see his position clearly.

Wherever Luan went, the morale of the soldiers was high, shouting long live, Shi Congyun waved his hand, and went to inspect the artillery positions in person.

The distance between the two armies was about five miles at this time. Although they both put on a posture, there was no need to worry about such a long distance.

Just as he was thinking, a rider ran over from the opposite position, holding a flag as the envoy from the opposite side, and approached the front of the formation. Everyone saw that he was the only one, and they didn't take any precautions. They just sent someone to pick him up.

The visitor was dressed as a civil servant, and after seeing him, he said directly: "King Pingxi invited the lord to meet before the battle, I don't know how daring the lord is."

Shi Congyun glanced at him: "Go back and tell Li Yun that we will meet by the stream before the battle. He will bring at most three people with him. Bows and crossbows are not allowed, and we are the same.

Any violation shall be void immediately. "

The person who came didn't talk too much, and immediately jumped on the horse and went back after handing over.

The two parties met far away, and Shi Congyun was not worried about what would happen to them. In this day and age, there were no sniper rifles or cannons, and the distance of several miles was absolutely safe.

After speaking, he immediately called for Dang Jin, and at the same time let Jing Si, a strong recruit from the Shenhuo Army, follow him, and then he was going to meet Li Yun.

The accompanying civil and military officials were very worried, and felt that it was not appropriate for the emperor to meet a Pingxi king. Then Guo Jin asked to go with him, and Shi Congyun agreed.

He had made up his mind, and everyone couldn't stop him, so he also made arrangements. Liu Qingchuan led hundreds of cavalry to send him out, and then stayed at the front of the position, [-] steps away from the central creek to meet him.

He took Guo Jin, Dang Jin, and Jing Si to protect him and meet Li Yun.

Li Yun also kept his promise and brought three entourages to meet him, and the hundreds of cavalry who escorted him also stayed behind several hundred paces.

The two sides met in the middle of the two armies, across a knee-deep creek.

Naturally, the stream couldn't stop people and horses, but both sides stopped tacitly and followed the ten-step wide stream without moving forward.

It was the first time that Shi Congyun met Li Yun who was opposite him. The old man in military uniform was not as strong as he thought, but rather skinny, even more so than the three guards beside him.

One of Shi Congyun's great motivations for coming here is to see what Li Yun looks like. After all, he is also a character. After seeing him, he was a little disappointed. He just looks like an ordinary old man.

Then he took the lead on horseback, "Li Jieshuai, why bother to rebel, now that the king's master has arrived, I will give you a chance, surrender, and spare you the death penalty."

Li Yun on the other side laughed loudly after hearing this: "Don't you think that the old man came to surrender when he saw you!

I just want to see what the kid who has been the most popular in these years looks like, and see how long you can still be famous.

To tell you the truth, there are [-] elite soldiers, and I have the advantage, so you can't leave today.

I think you have at most 3 to [-] horses, and you are arrogant and arrogant, and you come to Zezhou. My army is within five miles of you. "
