On the morning of November 15, the fifth year of Yongle, the sky was still dark and the fog was heavy.The round moon is still hanging over the plains south to the west, as if indicating the direction of the official army.
There were torches everywhere near Taiping Field, like stars. Dogs from far and near bark constantly, mixed with the sound of human and horses, which was particularly noisy.
Zhu Gaoxu, wearing three layers of leather, chain mail and zipper, was wrapped like a tall iron rice dumpling, and a shiny wide-eaves iron helmet on his head.
His shoulder scarf and cloak were made of white linen, which at first glance was no different from the costumes of the large group of men surrounding him.
The pine branches and torches were illuminated around them, and black smoke filled the fire.
At this time, a general walked up quickly, clasped his fists and said: "Report to the prince, the official army camp has begun!"
After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu looked back and said: I went there early, afraid that Xue Lu would think that our terrain was too advantageous and would not come; I went there late, so I couldn't get ahead.It should be the time now.
He spoke very quickly, but his voice was not loud, as if he was a little cautious, afraid of being scared to leave something.
Qu Neng's eyes came over and nodded seriously.
Zhu Gaoxu raised his hand and said: Sent the whole army and set off!
Soon, the sound of vigorous horns echoed in the fog near Taiping Field.Torches like stars began to move one after another.
Zhu Gaoxu turned over and climbed onto the brown horse, led a group of cavalry and rushed straight out of the Pacific.
They rode their horses to the southeast, running faster than the army, and soon climbed to Sajinba about three or four miles away.
When a group of people came to Suojin Temple, they saw countless torches and a group of monks were being driven out of the temple.
Zhu Gaoxu did not enter the temple, so he came to the edge of the hillside and looked at the surrounding scenery again.
The east side was white, but the sky was not bright and the fog in the sight was not clear.
Zhu Gaoxu came to this area near Chengdu for several days and never encountered a completely foggy day in the morning.
However, the hillside and the dam must still be there, and it will not be any different from the day before yesterday.
This sprinkled golden dam is like the shape of a lower Xuanyue.
The dam faces the northwest, with a length of about three miles and a depth of about one mile. It is located on a large hillside, and the terrain is very flat and empty.
There is a large gap on the south edge. You need to climb up the Sajinba, which is the smoothest place.
Zhu Gaoxu turned around and looked towards the north west.
On the foggy earth, a large area of torches appeared in sight through the night sky; it was like the land after the magma erupted, the Han Wang army was rushing towards the front of Sajinba.
There is a large light on the east side of the north, which is the baggage of the Han King's Army and a small number of troops.
They were planning to go around the back of the Sajin Dam and go to a higher dam to the east.
There are a total of seven or eight thousand baggage soldiers, and they usually don’t fight to the death. Therefore, when marching, baggage soldiers have to cook and do a lot of work.
...The hour of Mao (about five to seven o'clock) has passed and the hour of Chen has not arrived.The sky was already bright, and the red sun was hanging in the east, as if it was not very clear as an ink painting.
Zhu Gaoxu stood on the edge of the hillside, except for the large slope to the west, surrounded by Han Wangjun's troops.Looking back around, countless infantry and cavalry formations rose and fell slightly and extended to the distance, without any sign of sight.
Looking from a high place, the downhill land and plains to the west are endless.A faint sound came from the sky, like a muffled thunder that continued to sound in the distance, buzzing... and not stopping for a moment.
Zhu Gaoxu looked closely and could see countless figures swaying faintly on the horizon.
I guess the front of the enemy is at least a few miles wide, and I can't see clearly, just as if the sea water is coming over by the sea!
Although I have seen the enemy, it will take a long time to get closer.
Zhu Gaoxu and the soldiers were mostly waiting silently. The infantry were in their positions, some sitting and squatting, and some standing; the cavalry stood beside the horses, motionless.
Zhu Gaoxu left the slope and rode his horse to continue wandering among the square formations.
From time to time, he said a few words to the soldiers loudly, and countless people responded, and the earth-shaking shouts rose and fell on the endless dam.
Opposite to the south of Sajinba, there is a large dense mountain forest called Songlin Slope. At some point, a fire broke out, and the fire spreads up the mountain like a curved line of fire.
The dark smoke was very heavy. From a distance, it looked like the black clouds in the middle of the forest.
After Chen Shi, the official army blockbusters had already entered the sight.
The formation is very large, maybe five miles wide!
The official army formation is located in the southwest of the Han Wang Army. It can be seen at the south end, but the north end cannot be seen clearly in one place.
The fire on Songlinpo would not be extinguished for a while. At this time, a scout reported that the Taiping Square was also set on fire!
A group of light cavalry of the government rushed to the Pacific Field, shot out a large number of rockets, and fires ignited in many houses.
Zhu Gaoxu looked north, but he couldn't see the fire there.
At this time, Zhu Gaoxu had already rode his horse to the Nanhuokou.
The soldiers around him either sat or squatted, and did not require the soldiers to abide by military discipline too much. As long as they did not leave their seats casually, they even temporarily surrounded the toilet with branches next to each thousand-household team. They could go there if they wanted to go to the toilet.
Zhu Gaoxu shouted to the soldiers here: Xue Lu is as timid as a mouse, and he is afraid that I will have an ambush in the wilderness!
Hahaha... Many soldiers burst into laughter.As the enemy soldiers approached like a sea of people, the laughter of the men seemed to relax a little.
Zhu Gaoxu shouted again: In this battle, the Han King's army will win!
Some generals took the lead in shouting, and the soldiers also shouted, "I will win!"A victory... The shouts seemed to echo on the fire mountain in the distance opposite.
There were some guards in the Han Wang Army who knew Zhu Gaoxu.
However, some guards and surrendered soldiers had never seen him. This morning, Zhu Gaoxu turned the entire formation in one breath, and all the soldiers should have recognized him.
...The soldiers on Nanhukou, even the new soldier Liu Dagen, who had just joined the army for a few months, had met the King of Han in the Ming Dynasty twice!
Yesterday, Liu Dagen also spoke and showed his face to the King of Han. He was about to brag about this to all his acquaintances after returning home early in the morning.Therefore, it is worth it to be scolded by Yin Desheng, a hundred households, who does not understand the rules.
After Chen Shi, countless people and horses that were missing from the front and tail of the official army were already in front of us, and the dust on the ground was rolling, all of them were crowded with people!
However, I can't see the heads and tails of the people on my side, and there are still people everywhere around me.
Liu Dagen couldn't tell who had a lot of people, and the situation was so big!
The rumbling drums and horse hooves were getting louder and louder, and the trumpet was mixed with orchestral music, which was a noisy.
Soon, the cannon also rang. Liu Dagen stretched his neck to see the scene in the southwest. He saw that there were fire flashing from time to time in countless square formations and white smoke rolling.
A large number of infantry and cavalry of the official army had already followed the smooth gap in the south, only a few hundred steps away from the Han Wang army in front of it and were still approaching.The sound of cannons has already sounded.
Liu Dagen is located on the slope on the left side of the official army at the attack gap, and is still a little far away.So Liu Dagen stood in the crowd and just stretched his neck to look around.
The Hundred Houses Team where he was located had more than 100 people, but the gangsters were not in the formation, and there were about 100 people in total, standing in ten rows.
There were four such a hundred-house team standing side by side with them; behind them there were the same five hundred-house teams lined up behind them.
There are about one thousand people in total, which is a Thousand General Team, forming a huge square formation.
There are also some queues with bows and arrows and muskets in front of the large array.
There is more than one such large array on this dam, and there are also people marching in various ways.
Liu Dagen was staring at the battle to start in the distance, without blinking.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a cavalry rushed over from the gap between the square formation and said to a general: The Han King Order, the drum in the south sounded, and you immediately attacked the enemy's flanks!Receive the order flag!
Get order!
The general shouted a few more times in the middle of the large array, and the personal soldiers ran around and gave orders.Only return after getting each thousand generals and answering the general.
After a while, the Baihu Yin Desheng's voice said: Brothers, follow the general's flag, the queue cannot be messed up!Those who retreat after the battle are unkindly military law!
Dong, Dong, Dong... The biggest drum sounded slowly in the distance.
The general's yelling was heard: Go forward!
The sergeant with leather drums hanging beside Yin Desheng began to beat the small drums, and the drums around him rumbled... It sounded like a whole lot. Liu Dagen followed the drums on his side, and followed everyone as they walked forward in the queue they had trained in the previous few months.
The neat footsteps kept ringing in the increasing noise.I don’t know how long it took, but a few huge cannons came from afar. This was the biggest sound of Liu Dagen’s fire.
A whirring sound came from the air. Liu Dagen couldn't help but look up and saw a huge round stone flying over from his head.
With a loud crack, the stone hit the top of a plum tree not far away. The tree shook violently, and the branches were broken, and the few dead leaves on it flew into the air.
In the flash of lightning, the stone fell into the crowd slightly!
A scream with a cry came immediately.
Liu Dagen swallowed a mouthful, feeling that his legs seemed a little uneasy.
Boom boom boom... The deafening sound of cannons sounded in front again, and this time the sound was even louder!A moment later, there was a whistling sound in the air, and I could really hear the sound of the stone and the iron galls flying!
Suddenly, with a bang, Liu Dagen trembled all over. There were three or five people on the left, and blood mist rose. One man was smashed into blood without making a sound. Another man didn't know where the shells were hit, and immediately neighed: My dear mother Ah...
The voice sounded very familiar. Liu Dagen knew that man, a farmer. This was his first time on the battlefield.The man was also lucky. He had just been on the battlefield for a while and he didn't even see the enemy soldiers clearly.
Another big rock hit the weed between the Hundred Houses, and the ground shook!
Yin Desheng's voice said: Don't be afraid, this scene will make two people die!Whoever retreats, kills whoever!
There were torches everywhere near Taiping Field, like stars. Dogs from far and near bark constantly, mixed with the sound of human and horses, which was particularly noisy.
Zhu Gaoxu, wearing three layers of leather, chain mail and zipper, was wrapped like a tall iron rice dumpling, and a shiny wide-eaves iron helmet on his head.
His shoulder scarf and cloak were made of white linen, which at first glance was no different from the costumes of the large group of men surrounding him.
