After Wang Yu led his army into Gengyang City, he quickly gathered several scattered troops and horses. This was exactly what Ma Chao expected. Therefore, three days later, Ma Chao also generalized the army with a tacit understanding.
Moving eastward, we camped for twenty miles on the north bank of the Fen River. The front camp was only fifteen miles away from Gengyang City, and we were fully prepared for a decisive battle.
Faced with the aggressive Ma Chao, Wang Yu did not behave as aggressively as when he went north. Instead, he gave an order, auxiliary soldiers, and combat soldiers to work together to arrange the area around Gengyang City similar to the previous Hulao Pass. No matter how many times Ma Chao attacked,
The challenge is to persevere.
This almost rogue tactic made Ma Chao very angry, but he couldn't find a good way to deal with it. Therefore, when both sides were recharging their strength, insults and provocations became the main attack method of the Xiliang army.
The loud-voiced scolders selected from among more than 200,000 people tried their best to provoke the opponent, accompanied by thunderous drums. "Rumble, rumble, rumble..." Waves of waves crashed like waves.
On the other hand, the Qingzhou Army seemed to be unable to hear the other party's shouts and hid behind the wooden camp wall without saying a word.
"It's a shame that Wang Pengju still dares to claim to be invincible. He's just a coward! If his courage was broken, he shouldn't have come. Now that he's here, why can't he shrink back?" The forbearance of the Qingzhou Army greatly strengthened Xi's strength.
Liang Jun's momentum, they took advantage of the last failure to humiliate their opponents.
"Brothers, please disperse. That guy Wang Yu is not a responsible person. He only uses conspiracy and tricks. What's the point of working for him? It's better to die in the wilderness with no bones left and no one to take revenge!"
"
"Let's disperse, let's disperse!"
Swinging in the wind, the sharp spear points were dazzling in the sun.
Seeing something nearby, the leading general had a snow-white horse on his crotch, holding a long sword, with a face as heavy as a jujube, and a roar like thunder: "This is Pang Lingming of Nan'an, generals of Qingzhou, do you dare to go out to camp and fight?"
Pang De Yaowu, but the Qingzhou Army's camp gates were closed tightly, and the momentum of the two armies was ebbing and flowing. The noise of the Xiliang Army was like thunder, making the waves of Fen River tremble. The Qingzhou Army's
But there was no movement at all.
It is not quite correct to say that there was no movement at all. At least Taishi Ci was furious at this moment.
"Where does this young boy dare to show off his power in front of me? I am riding in Duchang, and when one thousand to fifty thousand is broken, your boy is still sucking milk in my mother's arms! If the lord hadn't strictly ordered not to go to war, I would have killed you long ago.
You tore it into pieces and stewed it into minced meat... Really, really pissed me off!"
Taishi Ci was furious, but Zhao Yun on the side was very calm. Not only was he not affected by Taishi Ci, he even complained so accurately: "Brother, you are really not afraid of meat and fish."
"I'm so desperate. I can even chew iron. What's the point of stewed human flesh porridge?" Taishi Ci waved his hand angrily: "Zilong, don't act like it's none of your business here. I'll just do it."
If you don’t believe me, you’re not in a hurry at all! Tell me, I’ve practiced the new formation and rethought the tactics for so long, why is my lord still unwilling to go into battle?”
Zhao Yun replied expressionlessly: "Since my lord has made such a decision, it always makes sense. Brother, please be patient and wait."
"I can't help but be impatient... Look at the arrogance of those Xiliang thieves, they are just like villains! Tell me, how can I endure this?" After complaining for a while, Taishi Ci's mood calmed down a little. But at this moment, the Xiliang army started a new round of scolding. Taishi Ci was aroused by this and jumped up again.
"Boy Pang De, grandpa remembers you! Just wait and see, when the time comes, grandpa will kill you with a thousand swords!"
"Brother, please be quiet, my lord is watching." Zhao Yun grabbed Tai Shici, who was about to go berserk, and pointed behind him.
Taishi Ci suppressed his anger and turned around to look. Only then did he realize that he was only focused on venting his anger and had not noticed that Wang Yu was also watching the enemy on the watchtower near the central army tent. While observing the enemy's formation, he was also discussing with Zhuge Liang. What are you wearing?
"My lord is watching the enemy!" Taishi Ci was startled at first, and then became excited: "Is this going to be a battle? It's finally going to be a battle! Zilong, you stay here and watch while I go to ask for a battle. I have to be the vanguard today. , otherwise even if we win the battle, it won’t be a big deal to let Pound go.”
After that, he waved his hand and left. Zhao Yun didn't hold him back, so he had no choice but to let him go.
Taishi Ci walked very quickly and arrived at the watchtower in a short time.
There were several personal guards guarding downstairs. When they saw Taishi Ci, they all laughed. One of them joked to Taishi Ci: "General Ziyi, are you here to ask for a fight again?"
"You are so far away that you didn't hear how unpleasant and ungrateful the scoldings of those bastards were, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to bear it." Taishi Ci replied angrily and asked, "Are my lord and Kong Ming discussing some secret, or are they observing the enemy?" Woolen cloth?"
"It shouldn't be an important matter. My lord has ordered that if there is military information, there is no need to report it."
"That's good." Taishi Cichong nodded to the guard who answered, and walked up the stairs quietly.
He had a quick temper but was very thoughtful. Knowing that Wang Yu had made so many preparations after making the plan, he would definitely not deliberately avoid the battle. But he never knew what Wang Yu was waiting for. Because he didn't know, Therefore, he is also unsure of what he is doing and is more easily agitated. Once he has the opportunity, he still wants to know more clues, otherwise he will not be able to calm down.
"Tomorrow? Kong Ming, how sure are you?"
Just after climbing a few steps, Taishi Ci heard Wang Yu's voice, and his heart immediately skipped a beat. It was not that he was frightened, but that he felt an inexplicable surprise. Tomorrow...at this time, he suddenly said that tomorrow, not What else could be the reason for going to war?
In the past, Taishi Ci always felt that Zhuge Liang talked too much and spoke too fast, but this time, for the first time, he expected Zhuge Liang to answer quickly to relieve his doubts.
"The weather is unpredictable, and no one dares to claim to be sure about this kind of thing, but based on various signs, it should be good. We will observe it tonight and tomorrow morning, and we should not be wrong."
After hearing Zhuge Liang's answer, Taishi Ci was confused. He knew that Zhuge Liang was proficient in astronomy and geography, especially after studying at Taishan Academy for two years and learning some secrets taught by his lord, he was already an expert in predicting the weather. That's right. Not to mention it's a hundred hits, nine out of ten is pretty much it.
But what does the current situation have to do with the weather?
If we wait for the weather suitable for a large-scale battle to appear, wouldn't it be clear skies for more than ten days in a row, which is the most suitable weather for fighting? If we talk about waiting for a favorable wind direction, the southeast wind has been blowing in the past few days, which is very good for occupying the territory.
Gengyang's Qingzhou Army is very advantageous. If not waiting for these two, what else can we wait for? Is it possible to wait for heavy rain or hail?
"This is very good, just work hard."
"My lord, I'm serious. This is Liang's duty. Why bother?"
Taishi Ci wanted to listen for a while longer, but it was obvious that the conversation upstairs had ended. In the midst of confusion and annoyance, Wang Yu's clear voice sounded again. This time, the person speaking was not Zhuge Liang, but the person hanging on the ladder.
Taishi Ci.
"Ziyi? Come up, I have something to say to you."
"Uh... obey the order." Taishi Ci was startled for a moment, then he came to his senses, stretched out his ape arms, climbed to the top of the building in two or two, and asked in a panic: "My lord, are you going to fight tomorrow?"
"How is the morale of the army?" Wang Yu asked rhetorically without answering, but the meaning of his words undoubtedly acquiesced to Tai Shici's statement.
"Brothers are holding back their energy!" Taishi Ci clapped his chest and replied loudly: "As long as you give the order, tens of thousands of tigers will appear immediately and the dragons will appear in the sea to take care of Ma Chao and Pang De.
I was so disoriented and couldn't find my way!"
"As long as you are motivated." Wang Yu nodded slightly and said with a smile: "You heard what Kong Ming said just now. I will say a few words to you now. You should keep it in your heart. If nothing happens tomorrow, you will cooperate with me.
Preach these words to the entire army and pour another ladle of hot oil on the fire."
"Don't worry, leave this job to me, I'm sure it will be right!" Taishi Ci was overjoyed. No matter what the lord was waiting for or for what reason, he would probably not run away when the war starts tomorrow.
In the past, Wang Yu rarely conducted pre-war propaganda. If this kind of thing was done well, it would make the whole army excited and fighting spirit high, but it was very troublesome to do, and it was suspected of being a face-saving project. With Wang Yu's past style, as long as
Moving the flag in front of the formation will have the same effect.
Therefore, Wang Yu was disdainful and impatient to do it.
But the significance of this battle is indeed extraordinary. It not only involves the success or failure of the Central Plains War, but also the revenge battle after the Qingzhou Army suffered its first defeat. It is reasonable that Wang Yu will have some special arrangements.
among.
After listening to Wang Yu's explanation, Taishi Ci finally found support for his obsession, and had a rare peaceful sleep that night. The next day, as soon as the sky started to light up, he ran to Zhuge Liang's camp, just as he was coming back from outside.
The young man joined the army and was stuck in a jam.
"Kong Ming, how are you? Nothing unexpected happened, right?"
"Accident?" Zhuge Liang replied proudly: "Oh, how is it possible?"
…
Just after the twelfth hour of the day, Pang De began his routine challenge of leaving the camp again. He thought that there would be no difference today, but as soon as he led the team to a place that was still many miles away from the Qingzhou military camp, something happened suddenly.
"Woooo..." The horn sounded suddenly, like a dragon roaring and a tiger roaring.
"Boom..." Immediately, the rumble of horse hooves exploded behind the camp wall.
"Bang bang..." The next moment, every section of the camp wall collapsed outwards, and the black cavalry poured out like a flood that broke the dam. Behind the cavalry, a piece of steel reflected the sun.
!
"Stop!" Pound's heart tightened, and he exerted force with his hands to rein in the horse. Relying on his excellent riding skills, he just turned around and urged the horse to retreat into the camp while shouting loudly, The voice was extremely sad: "Hurry! Go and report back to the lord, the Qingzhou Army has gone to war!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
