Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 513 Qinshui Array
Pan Mei clenched her fists excitedly after receiving Pan Chongche's news.

He had waited for a long time for this moment.

When Luo Youdu went to Cao Bin's expedition, he had already revealed to him that he would be his commander.

Pan Mei was fully prepared for the attack on the Southern Han Dynasty.

He sent people to inquire about the news many times to understand the national conditions and politics of the Southern Han Dynasty.

Pan Chongche, the No. 1 general in Lingnan, is naturally also in Pan Mei's sight, and has done an in-depth investigation on his situation.

When Luo Youdu and Cao Bin attacked Jiangnan and Bashu, Pan Mei sent someone to find Pan Chongche.

The most powerful thing about Pan Mei is that she didn't let Pan Chongche surrender.

A veteran like Pan Chongche cares about face, he doesn't want to bear the name of a traitor and live in the world.

In order to cater to Pan Chongche, Pan Mei gave him enough face, and even went so far as to belittle herself and improve his status.

Pan Chongche didn't have to do anything, he could gain fame and status just by watching from the sidelines.

Facing such caring Pan Mei, he had no room to refuse.

And Pan Mei's move is equivalent to destroying the [-] troops of the Southern Han Dynasty.

Pan Mei, who received Pan Chongche's news, left behind a small group of troops to set up a suspicious formation outside the city, pretending that the main army hadn't moved, but actually quietly bypassed Shaozhou and went straight to Yingzhou.

British state.

As soon as Liu Baoxing arrived in Yingzhou, the first thing he did was to take down Guo Chongyue, a recruiter who only knew how to pray to God and Buddha, and held a funeral sacrifice for Zhi Tingxiao who died in battle, in recognition of his bravery.

Liu Baoxing has never been on the battlefield, but he has read a lot of military books and understands some principles of life.

Compared with Guo Chongyue, it is much better.

Standing tall among the dwarfs, Liu Baoxing's most basic set of operations actually had a miraculous effect in the Southern Han army, stabilizing the influence of Yingzhou's coach praying to God and worshiping Buddha, and stabilizing the morale of the army.

At dusk that day, Liu Baoxing came back from his inspection tour of the Giant Elephant Army.

The Giant Elephant Army is the trump card of the Southern Han Dynasty, the most important magic weapon for winning. Liu Baoxing also regards it as a sure-fire weapon, and attaches great importance to it. He has to go to the Giant Elephant Army every day.

Looking at the burly elephant, Liu Baoxing felt a surge of pride in his chest. Everyone said that the army of the Central Plains was invincible. It was the Giant Elephant Army who had never met us in the south of the Five Ridges.

Liu Baoxing was imagining the scene of the giant elephant army smashing the Central Plains army in his mind, when he suddenly got the news that Tian Renlang had invaded Yingzhou again.

"My lord! Tian Renlang bypassed Shaozhou. They filled the river near Qinshui, as if they were going to block Qinshui."

Liu Baoxing pondered for a while, and called out: "No, the Central Plains thief is really cunning."

Due to the urgency of the war, he and Li Chengwo did not carry too much food.

Shaozhou now has [-] soldiers and horses, and the supply of food and grass is only enough for half a year.

It's not long, it's not short.

Tian Renlang wanted to fill Qinshui, and made it clear that he would fight a protracted war with them.

To transport grain from Xingwang Mansion to Shaozhou, it is the most convenient and safest way to take the Qinshui waterway.

But once the Qin River was blocked by the Central Plains, they could only transport grain by land.The mountains in the south of the Lingnan are easy to set up ambushes, and there are cavalry in the Central Plains, so it is hard to guard against harassment in the plains.

"Can't let him succeed!"

Liu Baoxing immediately made up his mind and asked, "How many troops does Tian Renlang have?"

The scout said without hesitation: "About ten thousand!"

Liu Baoxing did not doubt that there was him. At the beginning, Pan Chongche in Shaozhou had only [-] soldiers, and Pan Mei only dared to send [-] soldiers southward. Now that Shaozhou has [-] soldiers, how could Pan Mei dare to send too many troops southward?

"Hmph! Is this treating Gu as an idiot like Guo Chongyue? Do you really think Gu is like him, not daring to fight?"

Liu Baoxing thought about it for a while, and immediately ordered: "Come here, pass on the order, let Commander Wu, Han, Sun, and Gao, the three Jiedu envoys, go to Qinshui to defeat the enemy early tomorrow morning!"

He paused for a moment, and added another sentence: "The commander of the party is also called."

Except for the Giant Elephant Army commanded by Wu Xun, Liu Baoxing's soldiers were all [-] soldiers from Guo Chongyue.

Most of Zhi Tingxiao and his regiment training army were killed in battle, and there were only 4 left in Yingzhou.

Complementing the [-] giant elephant army, Liu Baoxing now has [-] troops.

Originally Liu Baoxing planned to lead 5000 soldiers into the battle, but after thinking about it, he felt that he was inexperienced, so he added Fang Xiang's [-] soldiers to make up [-] soldiers just to be on the safe side.

With [-] against [-], there is also the invincible Giant Elephant Army.

This wave, how to lose!
Early the next day!
After leaving [-] soldiers stationed in Yingzhou, Liu Baoxing personally led Wu Xun, Han Wei, Sun Qian and other generals, and led [-] soldiers and horses to march northward through the thick fog.

The south of the Five Ridges is mountainous and foggy, and the visibility is not high. All the way, we cleared the rangers who appeared sporadically on the two wings, and finally arrived at the Qinshui River where Tian Renlang's army was located when the fog cleared.

What appeared in front of them at this time was a banner that covered the sky and the sun, and a [-] Central Plains army that went forward and followed one after another.

Looking at the murderous army formation on the opposite side, Liu Baoxing was dumbfounded, and looked at the generals in blank dismay.

What's the situation?
Is there something wrong with the number of people?

Isn't it 1 people?
This is more than ten thousand, right?

A truly experienced general can judge the number of troops by the density of the lineup of soldiers.

Liu Baoxing didn't have this ability, but he could clearly see that the opponent's number far exceeded his own.

"No matter what, we have to face the battle first!"

Liu Baoxing was in a panic. An inexperienced rookie like him was most afraid of encountering unexpected changes.Now that they have come close, and the opponent has cavalry, retreating will only give the opponent a chance to take advantage of the victory and pursue.

In such a situation, he could only pretend to be calm and bite the bullet.

Liu Baoxing glanced at Wu Xun and said, "Commander Wu, it's all up to you."

Wu Xun nodded solemnly.

The giant elephant army is bulky and huge, and it is definitely not as good as the cavalry when it comes to flexibility.

It also doesn't have complicated tactical conditions, and it has always been about breaking ten meetings with one force.

With the bang of war drums.

The giant elephant army leaped out.

The Southern Han Dynasty regarded the Giant Elephant Army as a treasure. Every elephant was at least one foot tall, two feet long, and well-equipped.

War elephants are covered with heavy armor and lined with thick cowhide.The outside is densely hung with multiple layers of fish scales or block iron or steel nails.The chest and abdomen with the weakest defenses of the elephant body are protected by a whole thick iron plate-shaped chest and plastron.The elephant's legs are also covered with iron armor with movable knee pads.The elephant's head is visored, and even the trunk is covered with chain mail, and the ivory used as the main weapon is covered with sharp spear points up to seven feet long.

On the back of the war elephant is a tower made of planks.The tower is divided into two floors, the first floor is the driver.The second layer is the crossbowmen.With the elephant as the core, there is a pawn holding a broadsword, spear and shield on each side.

A giant elephant is a battle system, and more than [-] giant elephants are lined up.

Under Wu Xun's command, the Giant Elephant Army rushed towards the Central Plains army formation step by step.

The battle kicked off with the giant elephant rushing into the formation.
