Chapter 296 The First Battle of Baiyue
end of October.

Chen Sheng worshiped Chen Shou as the main general, Ji Bu as the deputy general, and Fan Zeng as the marching commander.

On the ninth day of November, the Bolang army transported 20 shi of grain and grass, secretly arrived in Anyi, and delivered it to Chen Qi as a deposit for inviting the red army to enter Jingzhou to fight.

On the fifteenth day of November, Chen Shou led [-] red-clothed soldiers to secretly set foot in Jingzhou to join the battle sequence of the Kyushu people and the Baiyue barbarians.

For the sake of overall strategy, Chen Sheng handed over the command of Chen Shoubu to Lian Po.

But he made it clear in advance that his Red Shirts have the power to refuse unreasonable military orders. Once he finds any signs of using his Red Shirts as cannon fodder, he will unilaterally tear up the employment agreement. The Red Army will not only give up all combat missions and immediately withdraw to Yuzhou, but will also retain the right to recover losses from the wave army.

Well, because of his defeat of the wave-fighting army, which caused heavy casualties to his red-clothed army, it will also be regarded as the wave-fighting army deliberately framed his red-clothed army...

All in all, the soldiers of his Red Army can only die on the battlefield with clear swords and guns, and must not die under conspiracy and tricks!

Conditions are harsh.

It is really difficult for the wave of the army to support alone, so they pinched their noses and recognized Chen Sheng's conditions.

Of course, Chen Sheng also knew that his conditions were so harsh that he would make trouble, but there was no way, if he didn't make the conditions harsher, how could he dare to hand over the troops led by his own father to Lian Po's command?

This is not to say that he does not believe in Lian Po's character... Of course, he does not believe in Lian Po's character, and he has never been in contact with him. How could he know what kind of character Lian Po is?
The point is, how easy it is for the first army commander to count an allied army under his command on the battlefield. Chen Sheng, who is also the first army commander, is too clear!
There is no need for any complicated and brain-burning operations, just a little bit of hands and feet on the formation of troops, you can easily push a soldier into a desperate situation!
As the saying goes, it is impossible to have the intention of harming others, and the intention to guard against others, isn't it?
Chen Sheng actually cherished the opportunity to send troops into Jingzhou to fight against the Baiyue barbarians. Even if Lian Po was unwilling to ask for food, Chen Sheng would also send troops to Jingzhou one day when he really couldn't hold out against the waves.

Because he neither wants the Red Army to become a force that can only fight civil wars, nor does he want to become a King of Han who can only fight civil wars.

As a military general, no one does not want to seal the wolf.

As a king, no one wants to expand the territory.

Chen Sheng is both a king and a general!
……

On November 26, Chen Shoubu fought against the Baiyue barbarians for the first time.

Chen Sheng received the news in advance and went to Hengyang County in Jingzhou to direct the battle.

According to the news from the Bolang Army, this group of Baiyue people is just a miscellaneous army organized by several unknown small tribes among the Baiyue people. The strength is less than [-]. They deliberately missed it for the Red Army. Try it out.

Chen Sheng didn't know if this Baiyue man had come over to the Red Army to try it out.

But he can see that this Baiyue people is indeed a motley army of several tribes united... It is not difficult to judge, the soldiers and horses between different subordinates, the shape of the armor, the color of the flag, and even the spirit, There are extremely obvious differences, and experienced generals only need to climb up to see it at a glance!
Chen Sheng could see that the [-] Yue people on the opposite side were from at least four different tribes!

Although he had tried his best to warn himself against arrogance and impatience, this judgment still made him feel a little contempt for this Baiyue people.

'A rogue Baiyue man with less than [-] troops wants to try out the soldiers of my Red Army? '

He thought so in his heart, secretly thinking that his red-clothed army was fighting against the imperial court and Taiping Road in the north, and they were all powerful armies with few enemies and a big victory!
But after thinking about it, he cautiously put on the stance of a lion and a rabbit, ordering the [-] soldiers and horses of the first division to line up in a geese formation, and he personally beat the drums to attack.

"Boom bang bang..."

In the midst of the majestic drums, Chen Shou held the reins of the war horse in one hand and the moon sword in the other. advance.

I saw that when the forwards of the two armies were less than ten feet together, the opposite Baiyue suddenly screamed "Ooooooo", holding up their messy weapons and swarming along the open wings of the geese formation, swarming swarms. Into the geese surrounded by the formation.

The momentum is fierce, like rushing to die!
Chen Sheng was at a loss when he saw this, and just as he was about to spit out the next sentence "this is it", he saw two messy cavalrymen suddenly sprang from the rear of the Baiyue Army, rushing towards the flanks fiercely and unmatched!

These two cavalry are really fierce, not adjectives!

If you don't believe me, take a look at the mounts under their crotch: tigers, elephants, rhinos, leopards, and no matter how bad they are, there are even horned bulls!

In short, it is all kinds of strange, like Escape from the Zoo!

The wild and sturdy momentum rushed forward, and the warhorses on both wings of the geese were frightened and hesitated, neighing constantly.

At the same time, patches of blood-colored clouds floated above the heads of the thousands of Yue people who had rushed into the encirclement of the geese.

Among the clouds and mists, blurred figures with green faces and fangs and many hands and feet are jumping around blindly like a great dancer!

In an instant, the shouts of the thousands of Yue people below were raised several decibels, as if they were all kowtowing on the medicine.

"The stormy waves!"

Seeing this, Chen Shou, who was in command of the troops on the battlefield, raised the Yanyue Saber in his hand and shouted angrily.

As soon as the voice fell, the two thousand short soldiers standing behind him shouted in unison: "The stormy waves!"

"Array!"

All the soldiers of the first division shouted in unison, and in an instant, a black-colored Huaguang descended from the sky from the geese, wrapping all the red-clothed soldiers in it.

The first division of cavalry on both wings faced the rushing Baiyue cavalry and launched a counter-charge.

Chen Shou's officers and soldiers in this formation fought with the Baiyue people who were rushing up, and rushed forward along the two wings to make up for the emptiness after the cavalry left.

As soon as it starts, it's a decisive battle!

Chen Sheng didn't know if the Baiyue people were so reckless and stupid, or if the Baiyue people were so reckless and stupid!

Anyway, in the mind of this Baiyue commander, it seems that there is no basic military common sense, such as feint attack, formation, reserve army, etc., as soon as it starts, a wave of family and mouth will come up.

It seems that he has made up his mind, either kill the Red Army or be killed by the Red Army.

Chen Sheng has been fighting for so long, and he can be regarded as someone who has seen the world.

But it was the first time he had seen such an enemy...

He tightly pressed the Chunjun sword on his waist, staring at the battlefield below, ready to come off the field to support him at any time.

I saw that most of the Baiyue people were covered with varnished rattan armor. They made a muffled sound of "duo duo" when they were slashed with swords. It felt like it was tougher than the leather armor with iron pieces inlaid on important parts of the soldiers in red.

In addition, the most impressive impression this Baiyue people gave him was that they were not afraid of death!
Many Baiyue people had their arms cut off and their chests pierced. The blood spurted like a fountain, and they were still waving the weapons in their hands to fight frantically!

The Baiyue people, who were surrounded by geese in the middle and slashed from all directions, seemed to be miserable and bloody, unable to break through.

But in fact, the combat reduction of his Red Army is much heavier than that of the Baiyue!
You must know that the strength of his Red Army is twice that of this Baiyue!
If the fight goes on like this, even if the first division can win, it will definitely be a tragic victory...

After Chen Shenglue pondered for a while, he turned his head and shouted: "Ming Jin withdraw his troops!"

"only!"

The messenger clasped his fists, turned around and hurried away with the knife on his waist.

Soon, the rushing sound of "dangdangdang" resounded through the battlefield.

The Jibu Department of the fifth division, who was lining up the first division, heard the sound of Ming Jin and immediately commanded the troops and horses under his command, and formed a circle to come forward to respond.

The soldiers of the first division fighting fiercely on the battlefield took the wounded and retreated in an orderly manner, and retreated to the formation from both sides of the circle.

Chen Sheng stood on the high general platform, looking at the two torrents of black armor retreating in front of him with a gloomy expression, his heart was very heavy.

The time between the two armies was short-handed.

But what can be seen, he has already seen it...

The combat effectiveness of this motley crew of Baiyue people is comparable to that of the Red Army.

In other words, it is even slightly better than the top half!

At least, in a frontal battle with the same force, Chen Sheng has the confidence to maintain an undefeated at most. It is too difficult to win!

And this is just a motley army of little nameless tribes!
If it is the elite of Baiyue people...

"Jingzhou!"

Chen Sheng squeezed the hilt of Chunjun Sword tightly, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "That's right!"

　The gentlemen are above, please Rong Fengyun to report: As a disabled old salted fish, Fengyun has always relied on "at least to keep the full attendance" in a steady update, and his hands are swollen into pig trotters due to tenosynovitis. They are all tying their hands and biting their teeth to update. This time because of the network problem, I missed the full time, and I will not talk about the economic loss, but the mood was really rushed, so I couldn't get up. The mind is full of rotten thoughts...

　　However, the lesson this time is indeed very profound. I usually feel distressed when ordering takeout for more than ten yuan. This time I lost thousands of dollars all at once, and I was so heartbroken that I could not breathe. From now on, Xianyu turned over, became a new man, increased the amount of updates, and updated earlier...

　　As for the last few days of this month, just ask the gentlemen to give Fengyun grace and let the wind and cloud go rotten. I really don't want to work hard...

　　Kneel down!
