Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 147 Showdown
Dawn, Dayi Town.

Zhao Kuangyin Gaoju immediately pursed his lips, looking at Tang Jun's camp from a distance, his brows were involuntarily frowned.

The historically invincible Taizu of the Song Dynasty fully demonstrated his bold, cautious, fierce and incomparable character.

With [-] soldiers, he wandered in Liuhe and Guabu, and even went deep into the hinterland of Yangzhou many times, causing Jiangbei Yangzhou and Taizhou to be full of rumors.

It even forced Li Jingda, king of Qi in the Southern Tang Dynasty, not to dare to cross the river to reorganize his army, and gathered an army of [-] in Jinling before he had the courage to cross the river and enter the north of the river.

Since Li Jingda's [-] army entered Jiangbei, Zhao Kuangyin, who was like a hungry wolf, had been staring at him.

Only this time things are a little different.

Chen Jue, who didn't know anything about military affairs, was terrified by Zhao Kuangyin's battle. He didn't dare to go to the front line again, but honestly hid behind.

Li Jingda's military strategy is average, but compared to Chen Jue's ignorance of military affairs and his random command, he is more than one grade better.

Especially as the situation in the Southern Tang Dynasty became worse and worse, those people who talked about it in the temple no longer dared to speak.

Some capable and daring generals who are not good at flattering horses have been reused. At this moment, Li Jingda has gathered around him such outstanding generals as Bian Hao, Xu Wenzhen, Lin Renzhao, and Chen Decheng, and he is no longer just some idiots.

Facing the Southern Tang reinforcements, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't find any obvious flaws for a while.

Zhao Kuangyin is brave, not reckless.

Naturally, he wouldn't boast that he was invincible, and would suddenly chug when he saw the enemy.

Zhao Kuangyin, who couldn't find a chance, decided to retreat to Liuhe, intending to use defense as an offense, first put himself in an invincible position, and then look for opportunities to defeat the enemy.

It's just that the movement of Li Jingda's army did not go as he expected. He directly marched into Chuzhou to support Shouzhou. Instead, he chose to go north from Yangzhou, obviously to avoid Liuhe and Chuzhou.

Zhao Kuangyin saw what Li Jingda was thinking. He planned to bypass himself, go north from Yangzhou to Chuzhou, and then go west to Haozhou to rescue Shouzhou.

Zhao Kuangyin was unwilling to let Li Jingda go like this, especially in the situation where Luo Youdu won Hezhou and then went to fight Shuzhou.

Thinking that his competitors might have won the land of the three states, and even though he had defeated the enemy repeatedly in the lands of Chu and Yang, he still only had one state capital in Chuzhou, which was dwarfed by comparison.

In order to find a fighter, Zhao Kuangyin personally led more than ten people to Dayi Town where Li Jingda's army was stationed, to investigate the situation.

"Guangyi, you said that we have [-] soldiers in our hands, can we fight against them here!"

Zhao Kuangyin looked at Li Jingda's department, a little unsure, and asked Yang Guangyi beside him.

Yang Guangyi is one of the ten brothers of Yishe and a member of the Dianqian Division. He lives in Yuhou, the capital of Sizhi, and leads the cavalry under Zhao Kuangyin's command.

Yang Guangyi nodded and said: "I think it's okay. They are more numerous than us, but they don't have cavalry. Dayi Town is surrounded by plains and hills, which are most suitable for cavalry operations. We have [-] cavalry, which can play a miraculous effect. And There is no place around here where we can sail, so there is no need to worry about the convenience of the opponent's navy. Even if we can't win, we can retreat."

Zhao Kuangyin kept nodding his head, tightened his grip on the horsewhip, waved his hand, made a crisp "pop", and said resolutely, "Then let's fight!"

He has engraved the topographic map of the surrounding areas in his mind, the waters of Huainan are crisscrossed by rivers, except that there is not a decent river near Dayi Town.

Once the opponent has passed the sky, he will enter the land of Huaisi where the water network is densely covered, and he will have no chance to fight against him.

Zhao Kuangyin acted resolutely, without any further hesitation, he quickly returned to Liuhe, gathered the soldiers and horses as quickly as possible, and marched towards the junction of Dayi Town and Tianchang.

Half of the soldiers under Zhao Kuangyin's command were the Dianqian army trained by him personally. They were all elite and marched extremely fast. They arrived at Hengshan, the junction of Tianchang and Dayi towns, first.

Zhao Kuangyin arranged for the soldiers to rest on the spot, waiting for the arrival of the Southern Tang army.

Li Jingda led an army of [-] troops to the north, and at the si hour of the day, he faced Zhao Kuangyin's troops head-on.

The banners covering the sky and the sun looked at the soldiers with high morale.

Li Jingda couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart.

It's not just Chen Jue who is scared?
Thinking about the battle at Guabu Mountain, a chill ran down his spine.

"My lord, this vanguard, let the future come!"

Lin Renzhao was the first to plead for orders. Now he was wearing a Shanwen chain mail, and the three-pointed harpoon in his hand was also replaced by a pair of pure steel. It can be called a shotgun for a cannon.

Li Jingda looked at Lin Renzhao's pleading, and was overjoyed: During the rectification in Jinling, he saw Lin Renzhao displaying his talents in the military camp. magical skills.

A well-known sharpshooter in the army, ten arrows can't hurt him in the slightest.

Thinking of Lin Renzhao's performance, most of the fear in his heart dissipated, and he praised: "With Lin Huzi leading the battle, the lonely king is relieved."

The rising sun shines on the earth.

Lin Renzhao led an army of [-] soldiers and approached Zhao Kuangyin.

The sword player is in the front, the spearman is on the left and right wings, and the crossbowman is in the center, approaching step by step.

Zhao Kuangyin squinted his eyes, and looked forward while setting up the awning with his hands. He looked at the opponent's five thousand army formation with a serious expression on his face.

The opponent's formation was not surprising, but it hit his own weakness.

Weakness in strength.

The opponent used five thousand soldiers as the front, of which the archers occupied half.

This is to calculate that he dare not charge the formation with cavalry, and seize the lifeline that he dare not shoot against.

"Shouzhong, you lead the sword and poker player to attack. The opponent has more soldiers and more bows and crossbows. We will suffer a lot if we shoot each other. You wrap up the opponent as quickly as possible to make the opponent's archer useless."

"Zhengzhong, after Shouzhong entangles the opponent's front army, you lead the spearmen to quickly join the battle, arrange a spear formation behind Shouzhong, and exchange positions with Shouzhong at any time..."

"Guangyi, lead [-] cavalry to detour to the enemy's right flank, listen to my orders at any time, and attack by yourself if you have the opportunity."

Orders were issued from Zhao Kuangyin's mouth one by one.

After receiving the order, Liu Shouzhong, Wang Zhengzhong, and Yang Guangyi immediately returned to the team and dispatched their troops to fight.

With the sound of the dull and dense battle drums, hundreds of banners in front of the Zhou army began to move.

Under Liu Shouzhong's command, the red armor and red armored front army held their shields high at a 45-degree angle and began to run slowly.

When entering the opponent's arrow, instantly accelerate and charge forward.

Countless sharp arrows and flying stones flew over the sky like locusts!

The arrow hit the shield like a torrential rain falling instantly.

Although the shields resisted most of the damage, there were still many soldiers who fell on the way of charging due to various reasons.

Zhou Jun was well-trained, he didn't care about the robe Ze who was hit by the arrow, and took advantage of the gap that the first round of bow and arrow had just ended to rush within thirty steps of the opponent.

After a few breaths, the fronts of the two armies collided fiercely.
