Chapter 76 Confrontation
A tent has been set up on the official road of Dongshan County.
It was October now. Although both sides were determined to fight, they had to collect the last autumn grain and had to make various preparations. Therefore, it was not until now that they actually sent troops.
In the big tent, Song Yu changed into armor and sat upright on the main seat, with a calm temperament.
"Report... Qin Zongquan has led his army to our camp thirty miles away!"
A stud came in and said kneeling.
"Okay!" Song Yu's eyes shone brightly and he said, "Send the order and the whole army will come out of the camp and form a formation!"
The dull horn sounded, the barracks rang, and the soldiers took their weapons one after another, orderly, and were on guard with the fire team.
After three times of the horn, the military formation was formed, and only long halberds were seen like forests, and the soldiers' eyes looked like fire, and they were solemn and ashamed.
Song Yu nodded. This was the army he wanted.
Of course, with his sharp eyes, he also found some of the new recruits' hands that were clenched white. At this moment, it seemed that only the weapons in his hands could give them some comfort.
Song Yu rode his horse and came to the front of the formation, saying loudly: "I am ordered to fight against the rebels. Now is the time for you to serve the country! In this battle, there will be victories and no defeat. Our cavalry team will serve as the military law team behind us. Those who retreat will be killed regardless of the team's main camp!"
These words were so murderous, and everyone below was cold all over.
Song Yu inspected the scene and then said, "I am here, and I will advance and retreat with you. After this battle, the entire army will be rewarded! Those who have made meritorious promotions will be promoted on the spot and will never break their promises!"
Ye Hongyan, Song Hu, Luo Bin, Dian Lang, and Pan He shouted: "Our army wins thousands of victories! Ten thousand victories!"
The soldiers then shouted together, and for a moment, the howling sounds were higher and higher.
Song Yu nodded and led his personal guard camp to take charge of the central army.
In ancient times, marching and fighting were all based on the military formation. The simplest ones can be divided into front army, two wings, central army, and logistics wing soldiers.
These two wings are usually served by cavalrymen, but Song Yu people are few, both infantrymen.
At this time, it was also very powerful. When Song Yu calmed down, he saw that his red and yellow aura was so strong that he gathered and could not disperse. There were also a trace of military aura around him, which was dazzling.
In the surrounding military formation, the mysterious black aura continued to emerge, and strands gathered into a black cloud. The dragon aura red snake screamed and left Song Yu's head. When it merged with the military energy, it immediately formed a giant snake more than ten feet long. It was covered with black and red all over, and it was entrenched on the military formation. The scales flashed, making the fierce aura!
"This is the power of the system!" Song Yu thought to himself.
This dragon-qi red snake is less than 100 meters in his own fortune. Once combined with the system, it will have such great power. It can be seen that even if the hidden dragon has the aura of the dragon, it can only protect itself. Only by combining with the system can it soar in the sky, travel through clouds and rain.
At this time, a cloud in the distance was slowly approaching. Song Yu knew that this must be Qin Zongquan's luck, so he focused his attention and looked carefully.
I saw a military aura attacking. The cloud was wide and vast, a circle bigger than Song Yu's army, but the complexion was slightly thinner, with only a light ink look. "The number of enemy soldiers exceeded ours, but the soldiers were not as good as those of them." Song Yu had an enlightenment in his heart.
At this time, a long sound of the enemy's fortune appeared, and a bird appeared.
The bird has a crown on its head. Its wings are slightly shorter and round, its tail is long and its tars are naked. The upper body is white and densely covered with black lines. The head is long and thick and dense, and the blue-black feathered crown is covered behind its head; its face is exposed and red; its tail is long and white, and its wings are also white.
This is the character of a white squid, the fifth-rank civil servant!
"Qin Zongquan, who has been in charge of Xin'an for a long time and has military power, cannot condense the image of a lord, and does not even have the character of a military officer. With the civil system, it is no wonder that the military spirit is insufficient and there is a sign of darkness and weakness!" Song Yu was overjoyed.
The giant snake of dragon energy saw the white squid, roared, and raised its body, eager to try.
The white squid was a circle smaller than the giant snake, and at this time he seemed even more afraid, with feathers raised and his eyes looked alert.
One comparison between the two sides, the right judgment is immediately!
"It seems that our luck will win, which is a good omen!" Song Yu was secretly happy, but he did not relax his vigilance. The battlefield changes so many times, and accidents may occur at any time. At that time, luck may reverse, and you must not be careless!
Since seeing the luck, the enemy was not far away, Song Yu ordered: "The flag was heard and the battle was ready!"
The flag soldiers immediately climbed to the high platform and issued a flag.
Sure enough, a short while, an army slowly walked forward and stopped a hundred steps away.
The atmosphere on both sides suddenly became tense, and the audience could hear the needle.
In the enemy formation, a middle-aged man wearing armor, looking into the distance, and asked, "Is this Song Yu's army? Looking at the well-trained, are you sure?"
Although this man was wearing armor, he did not have the killing spirit of a military general. Instead, he looked a little elegant, like a scholar. This man was naturally Qin Zongquan, the prefect of Xin'an.
Qin Zongquan looked at the enemy army formation with a complicated expression. He was interested in Yu Xin'an and kept planning. But Yu Dacheng completely disrupted his plan. When he heard Yu Dacheng killing the county magistrate, he was so angry that he threw several cups and cursed: "The prince is not worthy of planning!"
But before he could come up with any way to clean up the mess, major events followed one after another. First, Wu Qi captured Qinglong Pass and completely cut off the interference of the court. Then, Song Yu killed Yu Dacheng, went to two counties in a row, and issued imperial edicts to declare him rebellious!
This is really a confidant. Qin Zongquan immediately wanted to attack, but because of the lack of troops, he had to recruit first. Fortunately, the state could not get the order, and he could only act openly under the name of Song Yu's rebellion.
But this also made Song Yu feel like he was trying to do a lot of effort. His sons were not a little worse than Song Yu. When Qin Zongquan thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
At this time, a general came out and said, "Sir, our army has two thousand veterans, all of whom were fighting through blood and fire, with skillful martial arts skills. There are two thousand new soldiers, and the training is also strict. With the logistics wing soldiers, there are a total of five thousand troops."
"And the enemy army has only two counties and soldiers at most. After training and experience, there are only a thousand people. There are two thousand new soldiers, all refugees. Even if Song Yu has provided full support, there are only two counties, so he must be weak. How can he be as strong as an adult who has a city and has strong strength?"
"Besides, the enemy has only 3,000, and our army has twice as many. In terms of strength, it is also a great difference, and it is invincible!" This general is from an orthodox military and has read military books. His judgment is reasonable and well-founded, and everyone nodded.
Although this will be exaggerated to inspire people, it is okay to do logistics for the wing soldiers and can almost ignore them in frontal battles. But even so, there are nearly a thousand more troops than the opponent, which is not a small number!
At critical moments, dozens or hundreds of people may turn the situation around, let alone a thousand troops!
Qin Zongquan felt relieved when he heard this, and said with a smile: "General Yun said so much. Our army will definitely win a great victory in this battle."
He looked at the enemy formation again and said, "The enemy has few people. It seems that he dares not attack forcing force. He only dares to line up and defend. If you pass the order, our army will attack!"
All the generals responded to the promise and passed on orders. Although Qin Zongquan was a scholar, he had many military generals under his command. The entire army did not say that the orders were imposed, but they followed the orders.
In an instant, the entire army slowly moved and rushed towards Song Yu's army!
When the two armies were only fifty steps apart, the forward had good eyesight and could see the enemy's holes. The atmosphere was so tense!
The Qin army, seeing that the enemy's bow and arrow were already shooting, drew their swords and shouted: "Let's attack! Kill him! Kill him with a bright future! Entrust your wife and son!"
The vanguard of the Qin army rushed forward and changed his slow pace before.
Song Yu's army watched the army rushing towards him, and some people's face turned pale and cold sweat dripped.
Song Yu knew this and specially sent Ye Hongyan to take charge of the front army. Most of them were county soldiers here, and the situation was slightly better.
Ye Hongyan's face was neither happy nor sad. Seeing that the enemy's vanguard reached the range, she ordered: "Archer, let it go!"
The archers in the battalion in front of him were already bent their bows and ready to go. Now that he heard the order, his hands suddenly relaxed, and the "bang bang" bowstring sounded loudly, and thousands of arrows shot out like locusts!
Dozens of enemy vanguards were shot and fell to the ground, and blood flowed out, forming a stream.
But at this time, the others were waving their faces, waving their weapons, and continued to rush forward without being moved by the death of their teammates.
"Let it go!" The archers of the previous battalion retreated, revealing the battalion behind them.
With a "puff" sound, this was the sound of a bow and arrow piercing into the human body. Someone in the enemy fell to the ground again, but this was the last wave. At this time, the enemy had already reached the front of the formation, and the archers could see almost every detail on the enemy's face.
"Long spear formation, go!" Ye Hongyan retreated from the archer in time and replaced it with the spearman.
The two armies charged and arrived in the blink of an eye. If there were only one battalion of archers, they could only shoot one wave. Now they took turns to shoot in volleys, and they were just rubbing the enemy's forward slightly, and the main force was not damaged!
Song Yu smiled bitterly in his heart. All the only two battalions of archers in his hands were up, which made many people in the other battalion lose their combat effectiveness. This ratio was still good. But compared to the number of people on the other side, it was far from enough.
"Kill!" The spearman roared, and according to normal training, he stabbed the first wavelength spear.
The enemy troops who rushed up first were shot and fell to the ground. The soldiers behind immediately made up and roared and came to kill!
"Still again!" The gun barracks were roaring, and the gun forest stabbed out again. The enemy soldiers fell to the ground with disbelief.
Blood splattered and the hot plasma scattered on the spearmen, but at this time, no one could notice it, and only the enemy was in his eyes!
In ancient times, there were time limits for fighting on the battlefield. The spearman stabbed two waves and his physical strength was a bit exhausted and his movements were slow. The entire military formation was just a beat.
When the enemy general saw this, he shouted happily: "My sons! Kill the enemy with me!"
They took the opportunity to pounce on them and waited close to them. The spearmen were not functioning properly and were killed and fell to the ground.
The soldiers behind followed the commander and bravely moved forward, and the two armies were officially intertwined.
Chapter completed!
