The streams are dry, the rivers are narrow, and the earth is solid and clean.
The staple food crops in the wilderness of Chenzhou have been harvested long ago at this time. With the destruction of man-made disasters in the war, they are deserted at this moment. Even many paddy fields have dried up due to unmanned irrigation. Only by chance can you see a few small winter vegetable fields, but there are no people, and the farmers have long been hiding.
It was the 29th year of Jianwen in the second year of Xuande and the ninth day of the 10th month. The two armies encountered more than ten miles away from the east bank of the Yuanshui River, and the war was about to begin.
Two days ago, the Zhuque Army turned around from the southeast of Chenzhou City and marched more than a hundred miles, heading straight to the Yuanshui line. When Xue Lu heard about the trend, he led the main force to track and intercept it from Chenzhou. Because it was close to Yuanshui, he intercepted the Zhuque Army after marching for dozens of miles.
The water line outlined by the Yuanshui here is like a convex character turning right, and the river protrudes eastward; the two armies are conveniently connected to each other, which is more than ten miles east of the protruding peak of the Yuanshui River.
The surrounding terrain is a wilderness, with undulating and low mountains; the main force stations are higher in the east and west, but the terrain is also relatively flat. In the middle is a valley formed by a tributary of the river, and the low-lying areas have dried up.
The two armies were about four or five miles apart, and they were far away.
No one suffers when working as a battlefield here.Zhang Ning stood on the high ground and looked into the wind, looking back and forth and said.
The barren land is covered with weeds, and the withered weeds and green shrubs paint the earth a little color, and you can still see green plants in the south in winter.
Zhang Ning looked at the sunset opposite and said again: It is estimated that the war will start tomorrow at the earliest. We will find a place to station and set up a sentry here to guard the good terrain.No enemy cavalry brigade was found, and it was discovered on the left and right wings?
A general reported: Back to the prince, the enemy army brigade was in the northeast, and part of it was in the direction of Chenzhou to the west.
After hearing this, Zhang Ning said: This is a bit risky... The main force of the enemy camp is much more powerful than ours, and it is wider horizontally. We cannot prevent the flanks from being encircled. The cavalry is on both sides of the east and west. If one part of the camp is spared from me when the war begins, wouldn’t it be necessary to bring the supplies of our camps built on the lowlands in the east?
Zhou Mengxiong said: Only now do you try to dig a well and get out of water in this high ground. If you find the water source, you can transfer the baggage to a high place and use the central army to guard it.
Zhang Ning then ordered all departments to drill wells on the spot.
Sure enough, I found the well water before it was dark. This humid place in Huguang has a large water network and a rich groundwater.
At this moment, the central army was busy moving the vehicle supplies to a high place. Although the terrain here was high, it was not considered a mountain. The situation was quite smooth and the overall situation seemed to have ups and downs, so it was not difficult for vehicles to get up.
Each department dug trenches to form a simple camp.
The Vermilion Bird Army dispatched most of the armed forces. In addition to the cavalry regiment, the total number of infantry and artillery troops was about 12,000 after several war losses, divided into eight departments. The troops were not formally organized, but were temporarily led by the general, consisting of two posts, totaling about 1,500 people.
The largest Zhuque Army is the battalion, Yongding Camp and Changde Camp, and there are sentries below, with one sentry and five brigades of about 750 people in total; two sentries form a unit, which can be commanded by a general, which can not only form a large offensive force, but also form a complete square formation to defend when necessary.
The mountains and fields are very busy, and when you look closely, you are well organized. It seems that everyone knows what they should do and has the work to do.
It seems that there is a kind of divine power that controls all these rules, but it can also be called organization.
To a certain extent, Zhang Ning believed that Han people were born warriors.
Of course, it is different from the natural warriors who are proficient in bowing, horse riding and shooting, scattered and open herdsmen, and concentrated horse fighting. The people in the most developed farming areas have a hard-working nature that creates extremely high work efficiency. Whether they are craftsmen or farmers, as long as the superiors tell them what they should do, they can spontaneously coordinate and cooperate.
War is the rule of a large group of people, the organization needs order, not a single fight, so it is not an exaggeration to Zhang Ning thinks that people are born warriors.
Although the Suzaku Army is in a situation of being surrounded by superior forces at this moment, it can be seen that the soldiers are very enthusiastic. They are extremely in need of regaining Changde and regaining their families and land; the experience of winning with less and more has also given them confidence.
By night, there were already fires spreading all over the earth in the wilderness, and from time to time there were shouts of cheering, which were the warriors playing some rough mine games after supper.
In the rural and civilized farming villages, the wild forests are usually extremely quiet, but tonight it is as lively as a metropolis.
In the central camp of the Zhuque Army, the heads of various divisions gathered together, gathered around a bonfire and ate and talk.
The roasted meat is mainly bacon, and a small number of hares and wild birds.
But to be honest, Zhang Ning felt that the taste of eating bacon in Huguang was not very good and too salty.
When the generals went to battle, they usually carried small knife and flint with them. After roasting the meat, they took out the knife and cut it. They ate it all over their hands and mouths.
Seeing this, Zhang Ning found a piece of wood and cut a fork, then placed the meat piece on a wooden board, and ate it skillfully with the wooden fork in his left hand and the knife in his right hand.
Seeing this, Chen Gai's expression was more exaggerated than anyone else. His eyes were straightened and he muttered: "The prince still has this kind of ability."
A general smiled and said: The prince is a wise man who is well-read in scriptures, and his demeanor is naturally elegant.
Zhang Ning smiled and said: You can also try cutting wood.
Chen Gai followed suit, but unexpectedly he was very unsatisfied to use. Finally, he got angry and threw the wooden fork and said: I might as well use it to chew it!
Everyone burst into laughter.
At this moment, Zhu Heng said seriously: The enemy has heavy artillery. If it wants to take the initiative to attack with its superior force, we will wait to avoid the danger of heavy artillery. But if it does not move, our army aims to fight and decide quickly, so we can only take the initiative to attack.
Zhang Ning put down the knife in his hand and said: What Zhu Butang said is that we gave up Chenzhou and had several games, with the goal of forming a decisive battle with the enemy in an open land.This battle is related to life and death, and we must win this battle regardless of the cost.I hope you all encourage each other.
After hearing this, the generals clasped their fists and said: I will obey the military orders carefully.
Everyone said something together for a while, and Zhang Ning asked them to go back to the camp to rest for a while, and then they would start war tomorrow.
Zhang Ning did not go to the Central Army tent, but instead went to a large tent behind. Yao Ji and his family settled here, surrounded by people who ward off cults on guard.
On the last night before the war, he still wanted to spend a short time with Yao Ji. Maybe after tonight, there would be no chance to speak. Who knows what the outcome would be when the war begins?
There were a pile of charcoal fires in the tent, and Yao Ji and others were all here. The grass could still be seen on the ground, and only the place where they sat was covered with oil cloth and futons.
After Zhang Ning took the ceremony, he took off his helmet and found a cushion to sit down.
In front of Yao Ji, even the official concubine Zhou Erniang acted very well-behaved and said little, so Yao Ji became the hostess.
She looked relaxed and indifferent, perhaps to avoid adding psychological burden to Zhang Ning.
She even joked: You are the one who comes out to fight and drag your family with your family, we are like northern herders.I heard that the Mongols migrated with their clans during the war?
Herders can be used to produce and operate. If we don’t win this battle, we will lose all our foundation. The best situation is bandits.
Zhang Ning didn't think the joke was funny, but just sighed.
Yao Ji advised: During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei was also chased and changed places frequently, so don’t lose his ambition.
There are people everywhere in this military camp, and several families live in a large tent. Yao Ji and Zhang Ning talk differently in front of others, and they can only speak openly in this way.
However, Zhang Ning could laugh in front of the generals. When he returned home, he was relaxed and his emotions were not high, and he also showed fatigue.
When talking about Liu Bei, Zhang Ning remembered the story of Liu Bei's two wives being raped by Cao Cao. Cao Mengde seemed to like to capture other people's wives. Liu Bei didn't seem to mind, and would rather let 100,000 people drag him down, but later he was not willing to take two women with him.
But Zhang Ning was very concerned. He murmured tiredly: I once lost precious things because of my cowardice and mistakes, and later I became 'sensible'. It turns out that what I lost is worth paying for any price...I...
After several days of hard work and long-term mental pressure, he became a little dazed at this moment. He relaxed for a moment and seemed to see the summer in his dream, the river in the afternoon, the bamboo forest with cicadas, and the beautiful and cute little girl who forgot what she looked like. He felt a tingling and regretful heart.
I shouldn't be selfish, nor should I be afraid... Zhang Ning's vision was blurred.
The woman present looked at him in surprise and shed tears inexplicably. At this time, he looked so fragile that he was completely different from the warlord who held the power of life and death.
In front of so many people, in addition to their families, there are also escorts and servants who ward off the cults.
He choked and said: Why am I afraid?A real man should be fearless.But I am just afraid. Every time I wake up in the morning, I don’t know where I am or whether I have something to rely on, and I feel so panicked...
Ning'er.Yao Ji called out in a moving voice, her voice was extremely gentle, please sit here.
Zhang Ning sat next to her like an obedient child, Yao Ji held his shoulder and hugged him in her arms.
The fragrant weak bones and abundant muscles made him feel as if he had fallen into a gentle land, and his body and mind were extremely comfortable.
After a long silence in the tent, Zhang Ning gradually came to his senses. He realized that there were many around him, and hurriedly wiped his tears from Yao Ji's chest, then stood up and politely said: Mother, please forgive me, but my son just now had rude.
Yao Ji said: It’s getting late, so you can rest here tonight. You can let Er Niang take care of your daily life.
Zhang Ning felt a little ashamed of his loss of composure just now and hurriedly said: Thank you, Mother and Madam, I have to go back to the Central Army tent and say goodbye.
The staple food crops in the wilderness of Chenzhou have been harvested long ago at this time. With the destruction of man-made disasters in the war, they are deserted at this moment. Even many paddy fields have dried up due to unmanned irrigation. Only by chance can you see a few small winter vegetable fields, but there are no people, and the farmers have long been hiding.
