Mythical Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Sui and Tang Dynasties, establishment of empire

Chapter 391 Head-on encounter

On the second day, after the soldiers had their morning meal and received the prepared dry food and salt water prepared in bamboo tubes from the Huotou Army, they set off on the march under Liu Hua's order.

Liu Hua's actions naturally did not hide Ying Ziying, and even Liu Hua did not intend to hide anything from anyone. He just wanted to defeat the coalition of princes in one fell swoop.

At this time, Xiang Jian felt that his crusade against Liu Hua went smoothly this time.

At this moment, I was not very familiar with the land of Luoyang. After all, I had never been to the land of Luoyang, and I was afraid of being ambushed somewhere.

When the time comes, the coalition's 500,000-strong army will not be dispatched in time, but it will be too late.

But obviously, what he was worried about would not happen, not long after arriving in Luoyang.

The scouts from the front rushed over in a panic, "Report, many soldiers poured out of Luoyang City ahead, all of them displayed banners with Chinese characters and Liu characters, leading the army to come this way!"

"What?!" Xiang Jian couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and didn't react for a while.

Fan Zeng reacted immediately and hurriedly said to Xiang Jian, "Your Majesty, Yecheng is nearly two hundred miles away from here. Even if Liu Hua leads the army, I'm afraid they will already be exhausted. This is our chance! "

"What Brother Fan said is true!" Xiang Jian couldn't help but make up his mind when he heard Fan Zeng's words. Generally speaking, the scouts he sent out were about fifteen miles away. Counting the time it took for the scouts to come and report the news, Liu Hua would have been ten miles away no matter how fast he was. distance.

How far is ten miles? Some armies march, and it is considered good if they can march twenty miles in a day.

Because of the thirty-mile march, I am afraid that there will be non-combat attrition, and some soldiers may even desert.

Even if Liu Hua enters the attacking range at this moment, Liu Hua appears in front of him at a distance of ten miles. I am afraid it will take three quarters to half an hour. Even if Liu Hua is all cavalry, it will take at least a quarter of an hour.

Xiang Jian hoped that Liu Hua would give him more time, and Xiang Jian immediately ordered his soldiers to quickly change from the long snake formation when they were on their way to a battle formation!

But the problem is that Xiang Jian issued orders one after another. After his own army accepted the orders, the entire action was astonishingly slow.

You must know that these are 500,000 people. If you want them to change from the Long Snake Formation to other battle formations in a short period of time, I am afraid it will take someone among the ten philosophers who is good at changing military formations to do this. .

The only thing Xiang Jian can do is to order the armies of Zhu Hai, Yuan Shao, Li Mi and others who are the most capable among the princes to be dispatched to him first.

The three imperial guards under Xiang Jian's ace army, the Jiangdong Disciples, the Vulcan Army, and the Danyang Soldiers, are basically all in Xiang Ceyu's place, except for these three imperial guards.

Xiang Jian also has a real ace army that imitates Sun Wu's Blood Qilin Army. Although it is a reorganized army, it has been trained for decades and has been passed down from Xiang Yan. It can deepen the overall strengthening to a certain level. Being able to fully grasp the synergy of heaven and earth is the true heritage of the Xiang family.

In addition, the three talented Chang Yuchun guards under Zhu Hai, the tiger warriors under the carriage, and the Tianxiong army are all top imperial guards. The white soldiers under Yuan Shao are not weaker than the military souls, as are Zhao Bianqi and Xingsha crossbow soldiers. The Imperial Guards, the personal guards of the Wagang Five Tigers under Li Mi, are not ordinary regiments either.

It is a pity that Wei Wuzu and Qi Martial Arts under Wei Jiu and Tian Zhan experienced the defeat of Hulao Pass and the defeat of Jizhou and were basically wiped out. Now there is only one seed left and they are completely unable to participate in resisting Liu Hua's attack.

These strong military gatherings should be able to cope with Liu Hua's sudden arrival.

However, Xiang Jian was fortunate that Liu Hua was not a full cavalry, so he did not rush in front of him within a quarter of an hour.

However, what Xiang Jian couldn't imagine was that Liu Hua was still leading the infantry at this moment, and he didn't even have two quarters of an hour before he saw Liu Hua's army appear in front of him from the horizon. Liu Hua looked at Xiang Jian, but he didn't have any intention of speaking to each other, so he rushed to Luoyang last night, attacked directly, and then rested inside for a good night. Now that they met, he would directly Just start the fight.

Liu Hua didn't want to ambush Xiang Jian, because there was no suitable place for an ambush in this generation's terrain, and the place could be seen at a glance.

For Liu Hua, what he wanted was not an ambush, but just an encounter with Xiang Jian!

Liu Hua understood the military habits of this era. There must be some moisture in Xiang Jian's 500,000 men, but he must have passed the 100,000 line!

It's like Han Xin's evaluation of Liu Bang as he could only command 100,000 people. It seems that Han Xin looks down on Liu Bang.

But in fact, this is already a very high evaluation for a general. At any time in the Chinese dynasty, a commander who can reliably command one hundred thousand people is the pillar of the country.

If you encounter a good dynasty, even if the water content is high, there will be no problem if you mix 72 floor tiles.

Because for people like Han Xin, a commander who can command 100,000 people is barely considered a human being.

Even if he was a sandbag for Xiang Yu, he would still be qualified. If someone else, Xiang Yu, would die if he stabbed him, he wouldn't be able to hold Xiang Yu back.

Liu Hua judged that Xiang Jian might have become the commander of the large army. After all, he had fought many wars as the leader of the coalition of princes. However, according to Liu Hua's judgment, Xiang Jian's level should be between 100,000 and 200,000 people. He can only be regarded as a good commander.

He is probably only at the middle level of General Seventy-Two. Liu Hua said that it would be no problem to beat him to death in the field!

In fact, Xiang Jian is indeed as Liu Hua judged, because as a leader among the princes, he has experienced many large-scale battles, which allowed Xiang Jian to reach the commander of a large army with a level of more than 100,000 early.

After experiencing the defeat at Hulao Pass, Xiang Jian was left alone in the rear. Facing Wang Li, he was not defeated and retreated safely. He lost first and then won. He entered the pass at the same time as Liu Hua, which greatly increased Xiang Jian's confidence.

If Liu Hua Jiqi can be killed, Xiang Jian will definitely be able to cross this line because of his increased confidence and become a truly top commander.

Of course, no matter who is in the world now, as long as he kills Liu Hua, the confidence it brings will make him become the top army commander sooner or later.

This may be a special way for military strategists to grow. If you want to be number one, all you have to do is kill the current number one. With the confidence it brings, no matter how outrageous your fighting style is, you will be number one.

The same is true for Liu Hua. Liu Hua's courage and self-confidence gained from his journey to the north and south also allowed Liu Hua to dare to put all his chips in the bet after discovering the opponent's weaknesses.

The army built by Liu Hua is the greatest confidence to realize Liu Hua's plan.

It's not that Liu Hua's tactics are brilliant, but that the soldiers under his command are leading in classism, the oath system, the farming system, and the equipment. Now coupled with Liu Hua's undefeated golden body, Liu Hua is supported by many things that seem to be contrary to normal. Military logic dictates.

As a result, Liu Hua's originally supposed to be a wrong order was suddenly corrected by his soldiers.

For Liu Hua's soldiers, they don't care whether Liu Hua's order is right or wrong. They only know that as long as it is Liu Hua's order, they can carry it out themselves, because the king's order is absolutely infallible. !
