high official

Chapter 1235 The man is about to face the front
In the early morning of the next day, as soon as the mist in the North China Plain dissipated, the military camp a few miles west of Tongzhou City was already full of noise. The battlefield starts.

The cavalry had already left the camp one step ahead, and were on guard on the road that must be passed by the march.Although the information showed that Wang Xian's army never left the hillside, and they didn't even bother to send out scouts, they never dared to take it lightly, for fear that the scheming Wang Xian would use some tricks and catch them by surprise.

In fact, their Highness the Crown Prince didn't sleep a wink all night last night.One is that the battle is imminent and it is difficult to sleep; the other is that Wang Xian will come to steal the camp.Although Wang Xian seemed to be settling down on that hillside, the more abnormal he was, the more worried Zhu Zhanji became. He was worried all night, and finally appeared in front of the generals with a pair of dark circles under his eyes.

The honorable generals didn't laugh at His Highness, because they weren't much stronger, but it was normal. At this time, they can still sleep soundly. How serious are they?
After the audience reported the preparations of their respective armies and the situation of the enemy army, Zhu Zhanji nodded and cheered up and said: "Since Wang Xian is determined to wait for death, let's go and fulfill him!"

After speaking, he got on the magnificent yellow pussy horse left to him by the late emperor, and led the generals out of the camp.

.

In Tongzhou City, at dawn, the defenders found that the army camp was mostly empty.Looking from the top of the city, I saw countless officers and soldiers marching westward, and the defenders immediately cheered: "The officers and soldiers have withdrawn!"

The generals who came over after hearing the news were solemn, and told the soldiers that it was because the father-in-law led the army to Tongzhou, and those officers and soldiers were going to fight the father-in-law.

As soon as the soldiers quit, they yelled impatiently: "How could we be missing, the general ordered you to leave the city!" My mouth was full of bubbling.I can't wait to get on my horse and leave the city immediately to meet my coach.

The generals also looked at their chief general, they had the same thought.

Mo Wen shook his head solemnly, pointed to the army camp, and did not speak.

Following what Mo Wen pointed out, the soldiers saw about [-] to [-] infantry soldiers marching towards Tongzhou City, the opposite direction to the main force of the army.

"Just this little person wants to stop us? It's not enough to get between the teeth!" All the arrogant soldiers said with disdain.

But the next moment, everyone was silent like Mo Wen, because they clearly saw that those infantrymen were escorting nearly ten thousand prisoners.

The prisoners, dressed in ragged clothes, seemed to have been tortured. They were chained together in a string, and they staggered towards the city headed by some Dongchang fans in round caps and brown shirts.

The hearts of the defenders sank to the bottom, and they thought of a possibility.After a while, the ominous premonition was verified, and the soldiers clearly saw that the so-called prisoners were indeed their parents, relatives and friends!

The city was completely silent, the soldiers were clenching their teeth tightly, their hands were firmly grasping the cold city wall, and they didn't even notice that their nails were lifted...

At this moment, who doesn't understand that those utterly devoid of conscience are threatening them with their family members!
"General!" The soldiers begged Mo Wendao with tears in their eyes, "Let's go out of the city to save people!"

Mo Wen shook his head and sighed: "Although 3 people are not many, it is enough to kill all the hostages when we leave the city..."

"General! Don't care!" The soldiers cried and shouted: "Anyway, they will die if they fall into the hands of those people. If you can save them, save them. If you can't save them, we will kill the enemy! Kill all those beasts and avenge my mother !"

"No." Mo Wen shook his head and said, "They are also afraid of angering us and dare not do anything to the hostages. If we go out of the city, we will only harm our own family..."

"Then what should I do? Is it just blocked in the city like this?!" The soldiers were extremely aggrieved, beating their chests and stamping their feet.

"Wait." Mo Wen said calmly: "As long as the Lord can win a big victory, who would dare to take hostages?"

"Grandpa's side..." The soldiers looked west with red eyes, and hope was suddenly ignited.Maybe if they cared, they would be in chaos. For the first time, they were actually worried about their coach. "The enemy's army is no less than 20, and the father-in-law only has 5 horses, and it is a face-to-face confrontation..."

These battle-tested veterans know all too well that in such a head-on decisive battle without any frills, there is little room for cleverness, and they can only rely on strength to head-to-head!Those 20 officers and soldiers are not local miscellaneous brands, but 15 elite forbidden troops, and [-] Liaodong tiger and wolf divisions!

Speaking of which, Wang Xian's [-] soldiers and horses at the moment are suspected of serious local miscellaneous...

"I understood a truth ten years ago." Mo Wen looked at them: "Let me never hesitate at critical moments. Do you know what it is?"

"I don't know..." The soldiers froze for a moment.

Then they heard their general say indifferently: "That is, never doubt the father-in-law." He said with a smile: "Believe me, the father-in-law will definitely surprise you."

.

On the hill beside the Yongtong River, Wang Xian's army has been stationed here for a day and a night, without moving a muscle.

In fact, last night, Deng Xiaoxian and other generals did suggest to Wang Xian whether they could steal the camp at night, but Wang Xian flatly refused.The reasons for Wang Xian's refusal have shocked the generals until now.

Wang Xian told them: "I don't want a stolen victory."

At dawn, seeing the officers and soldiers arriving at the battlefield one after another, Deng Xiaoxian and others called for battle again, hoping to take advantage of the fact that the officers and troops were not on a firm footing to dampen their morale.

But Wang Xian said: "I want to convince them in this battle, no one will dare to be hostile to us again."

As a result, the request for an attack was rejected again, and the generals retreated helplessly, watching 10,000+ enemy infantry move several miles away one after another, and then lined up in an orderly manner.

It took a full hour for the officers and soldiers to form a huge formation with a front width of eight miles. Looking from the hillside, the vast plains were covered with black masses of officers and soldiers, with people clamoring and horses neighing, and spears like forests!

At this time, the sun was already rising, and the winter sun shone on the armor and weapons of the officers and soldiers, reflecting the sparkling cold light, like a piece of rippling sea water, which was frightening!
Only then did Wang Xian stand up lazily, and said to the generals beside him, "Stop sticking around, and take your place."

All the generals responded with a sullen voice, and then returned to their respective troops.Although he has full confidence in Wang Xian, but the coach is so supportive, it is really hard to calm down...

The same is true for the soldiers of the Shandong Army. Seeing the overwhelming formation of officers and soldiers marching towards them, it is inevitable that their hearts will be raised in their throats.That is to say, there is blind confidence in Wang Xian, so the soldiers are not confused...

Everyone turned their eyes to their coach, hoping he could say something to cheer everyone up.

However, Wang Xian talked and laughed happily with Long Wuye beside him, and seemed to completely ignore the approaching 20 troops.

Fifth Master Long smiled wryly: "Grandpa, are you really not saying anything?"

"What should be said, I finished it yesterday." Wang Xian shook his head and said: "It's useless to say anything now, and there is no need to say anything later."

"Hey, okay..." Fifth Master Long nodded helplessly.

.

As for the officers and soldiers, Zhu Zhanji's heart was finally relieved when he saw the formation of the army.He couldn't be more clear about how Song Taizong lost the battle back then.It's just that there are too many troops and it's too troublesome to form an array. As a result, the Liao people were caught off guard. The hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated before they could do their best...

As a result, from the beginning to the end, Wang Xian did not send a single soldier, allowing the officers and soldiers to pass through the most vulnerable stage.

Now the big formation has been completed, and the official army is invincible!Zhu Zhanji finally showed a smile: "Arrogant soldiers must be defeated!"

The princes and generals on the side also laughed and said: "He was dazzled by the victory, and he underestimated our army so much, this time he must be defeated!"

"Don't be careless." Zhu Zhanji's smile was fleeting, and he returned to his cold face and said: "Don't let the cavalry rush in, wait for the infantry to catch up."

"Yes!" The generals responded in a loud voice.

If you look down from the sky, you can clearly see that 20 officers and troops formed a large "H"-shaped formation, 12 infantry, divided into two fronts, slowly advancing towards the enemy, [-] cavalry in the center, Between the two fronts, always maintain coordination with the infantry.

Zhu Zhanji was behind the cavalry, surrounded by a central army of [-] cavalry and [-] infantry, guarding Zhu Zhanji's handsome flag, and also serving as a mobile force, ready to support the battlefield at any time.

On the opposite side, Wang Xianjun's [-] cavalry were divided into two groups and lined up on both sides of the hill, and [-] infantry surrounded the hill, forming a defensive formation layer by layer, completely guarding against death and being passively beaten.

As for the hills, apart from Wang Xian's commander-in-chief flag, there were five thousand heavy soldiers and five thousand troops commanded by Lord Long Wu. These people were empty-handed, like bystanders.

He watched helplessly that the front line of the officers and soldiers was two miles away from him, but Wang Xianjun still remained silent.

At this point, the officers and soldiers had no time to guess what kind of medicine Wang Xian was selling in his gourd.Their [-] infantry have entered the battle position!The arrow is on the string, I have to send it!
"Drumming!" Zhu Zhanji shouted violently.A hundred huge war drums sounded at the same time, and the rush of war drums resounded throughout the battlefield!

Hearing the sound of the drum, Zhang Fu, unable to restrain himself for a long time, immediately mobilized his horses, led [-] cavalry, and charged towards the top of the mountain!The horseshoes were like thunder, and the black torrent swept towards Wang Xianjun!

Until this time, Wang Xian's army finally moved.But not cavalry, nor infantry, but the five thousand empty-handed army!

I saw them, under the order of Long Wuye, lift up the linoleum one by one!
The linoleum was originally covered with frost, and it was the same color as the hills. From a distance, it was just a bunch of bulges. The officers and soldiers thought it was just Wang Xianjun's baggage, but when the linoleum was lifted off, they discovered in horror——under the rug, there was actually a A door of artillery!
