Chapter 76 Scheduling
It is different from what ordinary people think of Mount Tai as just a mountain.
The real Mount Tai is bordered by Jishui River on the left and Wenshui River on the other hand. There are valleys in between, and the streams in the valleys all flow through these two rivers.
In a valley two miles southeast of Wangqin Peak from Mount Tai, there is a valley water flowing into Wenshui River. At this time, Wang Kuang and Hu Mubiao's troops were crossing the river one by one.
The valley was no more than waist deep and no more than ten paces wide, so we just lifted our hems and crossed the river.
Wang Kuang and Hu Mubiao fell last. They waited until the tribe had crossed the river and set up camp by the river before they crossed the river. This was to be cautious in using their troops.
At this moment Hu Mubiao and Wang Kuangzheng were talking:
"On public holidays, do you want to exchange the land that your family owns in Mouwenshui? When the time comes to capture Wang Qinfeng, I will exchange the captured land with you for that piece of land."
Mouwenshui is a tributary of Wenshui. It, together with the other three Wenshui, Beibun, Shiwen and Chaiwen, as well as the mainstream Wenshui, is collectively called the "Five Wens".
The entire Taishan County is diverted from the Wuwen River to irrigate farmland. Since the Han Dynasty, water conservancy in this area has been developed, and nearly 10,000 hectares of farmland can be obtained.
Hu Mubiao pointed out that the land owned by Wang Kuang's family was the most fertile farmland near the water conservancy.
How could Wang Kuang be willing to sell it? Money is just floating wealth, but land is the foundation of the family forever. If Wang Kuang sells that land, wouldn't he become the sinner of the Wang family?
Clinging to Hu’s mother’s family is not like this.
Just when Wang Kuang was looking for a reason to refuse, the troops who had already crossed the river began to become a little commotion.
The two of them were on horseback, holding a pergola with their hands and looking ahead. They saw an army, with flags fluttering, meandering towards them.
Without further delay, the two of them rode across the river, and then each returned to their respective military formations.
This time they were in trouble. The enemy was coming out in force and was blocking them on this tidal flat.
The incoming army belonged to Zhang Chong. They gathered all their forces and even ignored the prison entrances on the mountain. They led the entire army down the mountain to fight the incoming army to the bitter end.
What made Zhang Chong make this determination was Meng Ju who came rushing towards him in blood clothes.
At the last moment, Meng Ju finally came back. He did not cry and complain about how he was attacked by the Shanliao people during the process, but told Zhang Chong directly:
"There are five hundred enemies with excellent combat equipment. The leaders' banners are 'King' and 'Hu Mu'."
As soon as Zhang Chong heard the news, he guessed that it must be a powerful soldier from Fenggao County outside the mountain, because he had heard about it from Fenggao Hu's mother's house.
In the past, Big Beard often introduced him to powerful people in the surrounding area, and Hu's mother's family was one of them.
Knowing that powerful soldiers were invading, Zhang Chong decisively ordered the entire army to come out. In a fight with such a local strongman, the only chance is to fight head-on. If they stick to the stronghold and have constant support from others, they will be the ones trapped to death.
In this way, Zhang Chong marched in the direction led by Meng Ju, and finally blocked the soldiers of Wang and Hu's mother at the stream.
At this time, Zhang rushed to his headquarters, and Tian Jun, who was riding on his horse, looked at the situation and shouted, "It's a pity." If we had come a moment earlier, we could have attacked while the other side was crossing the river.
Now the opportunity has been missed.
Zhang Chong shook his head and tried his best to look at the opposite military formation.
At this moment, Zhang Chong's military formation suddenly appeared on the opposite side, and a cloud of dust was stirred up in panic. But soon, with the support of their respective military officials, they reorganized their troops and formed two military formations on the river bank.
The army on the left erected a flag with the character "Mother Hu", with flags of various colors and characters flying under it, and there was a state of order. Their entire formation was divided into six small formations, arranged front to back, three formations in a row. There are fifty people in each formation, divided into five rows. The leader of each team holds a flag gun and wears two levels of armor.
Zhang Chong frowned. This soldier was the most elite soldier Zhang Chong had encountered in all his battles.
Its soldiers are also configured in a small pure formation and a large flower formation.
The three small military formations at the front are all spear and spear formations. The rear military formations cannot be clearly seen, but according to the military tactics, they should be the bow and crossbow formations in the middle, and the two formations on the left and right are sword and spear formations.
Looking further to the right, the army raised a flag with the word "king". Zhang Chong thought for a while and couldn't figure out where the powerful people in Fenggao were named Wang.
Although Zhang Chong didn't know who he was fighting for, he didn't dare to take it lightly, so his soldiers were sharper than the left formation.
Zhang Chong glanced around and saw a cavalry team in the right corner of his formation, which looked to have twenty people.
Then its formation was also divided into four small formations, with two in front and two in back, but this army was weird. The first two formations were full of swordsmen, and there was only one leader with four or five, and the last two formations were all Crossbowman!
This army has quite a lot of armor and archers.
After observing the enemy formation, Zhang Chongcai sighed, Taishan County's powerful troops are famous all over the world, and their soldiers are much better than those of Chengyang's powerful troops that he fought a year ago!
But this was not the time to lament. When the army was forming on the opposite side, Zhang Chong's troops were also forming formation.
After seeing the situation of the enemy soldiers, Zhang Chong thought for a while. He took Ding Sheng's Daocheng Tun as the front line, followed by Zhang Dan's Gemao Tun on the left, Chen Huan's Shesheng Tun on the right, and behind Ding Sheng's army. Li Damu was also placed with swords and spears to thicken Ding Sheng's military formation.
In the end, his own collision team and assault cavalry were hidden on the right side of Li Damu's formation.
In this way, Zhang Chong led the entire army to move to the right and aimed the main attack direction at Wang's soldiers on the right.
Hu Mubiao and Wang Kuang on the opposite side were also observing the formation in front of the formation. They saw Zhang Chongjun moving to the right and knew that the main direction of the opponent's attack should be Wang Kuang.
So Hu Mubiao immediately dispatched two groups of spearmen and spears to Wang Kuang's right formation to cover him.
In a moment, the two armies were in formation, and the whole place was silent for a moment. Everyone knew that a fierce and bloody battle was about to break out on this river beach.
Xie Bi, who was beside Zhang Chong, thought for a while and offered some advice to Zhang Chong:
"Qu, it is a taboo for military strategists to form with their backs to the river, but it is also a desperate decision to fight to the death. Our army fights fiercely with them in the front, the enemy has no way to retreat, and everyone fights to the death. This morale is different. They are already fighting to the death. With a large number of people and good armor, this battle will be difficult if everyone fights to the death! Bi has a plan to break his army."
So, Xie Bi said this to Zhang Chong.
After hearing this military plan, Zhang Chong was overjoyed. He immediately asked the messengers around him to convey his orders, so that all military generals would carry out the orders as ordered, and strictly enforced military discipline. Anyone who did not obey the military orders would be killed!
This was the first time Zhang Chong issued a beheading order to the entire army. The generals who received the military report were horrified and shouted solemnly. Only Ding Sheng, who was at the head of the formation, received the military report and called him a "hot girl!"
After another half moment, Zhang Chong saw that the opponent had not yet made any move, and secretly cursed him for being cunning!
It turns out that Zhang Chong wanted to wait for the opponent to attack first. When the opponent makes a move, the morale bonus of fighting against the enemy will be automatically broken. But who knows that the opponent also knows how to use defense instead of attack, and he is a good person!
Okay, since you don't come, Nai Gong will attack!
After thinking about it, Zhang Chong ordered the commander to blow the conch on the trumpet. During the sound of the conch, all the soldiers under Zhang Chong stood up with their swords and swords in hand, preparing to listen to the sound of the drum and attack.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Three shirtless warriors behind Zhang Chong received the order and waved their drum spines to beat three large drums! The sound of the drums spread throughout the valley, causing the birds in the forest to startle.
Ding Sheng, who had been at the head of the formation, heard the sound of the drums, waved his right arm, and shouted to all the swordsmen in the camp:
"Follow Naigong, charge!"
I’m going to Sanjiang in the next week. I would like to ask all my family members to catch up on the latest chapters every day. If the reading is high, I hope to go to Sanjiang, and then the results of this book will be better. And more realistically, if you go to Sanjiang, get extra updates!
