Chapter 114 The battle is about to start
Jia Kui held the long axe tightly in his hand, feeling a little dry in his mouth, and he couldn't help but lick his lips.
Yang Wenguang rode his horse and walked silently, and took his troops to occupy several hills south of Donglai Pass. He cleared the hills, divided them into several teams, and arranged on the gentle slopes of several hills with a charge formation.
The Karo River Valley where Zhuoluo City is located is open, the river water is shallow and slow, and the valley is enough to line up the military formations between the two sides. In normal combat, Xu Jin can be arranged to confront Dangxiang, who was blocked by the north and south. However, this time, Xu Ping did not want to follow the regular tactics of the Song army. He must try his best to make use of suddenness to achieve the greatest effect.
When each unit arrives three or five miles away from Zhuoluo City, it will occupy the advantage of the terrain that the Counselor Military Department has already set. When the sky lights up, it will attack its respective targets. Each battalion or general will still be a normal military formation, but there will be no formation at the next level, which is completely adaptable to the right place. This kind of tactic is rarely used, not because it is not that it is more beneficial to one's side, but because the organization and discipline of the army cannot meet such high requirements.
Jia Kui looked at the moon in the sky and whispered to Yang Wenguang beside him: "Command, there are still a few hours left before Liang. You have to take a break first, I will watch. I walked fifty or sixty miles a day and night, and the iron-killed people were exhausted."
Yang Wenguang said: "I can still hold on, but the horses under my crotch are overworked. He ordered the battalions to not untied their armor, the horses will not untied their saddles, and to rest on the spot. Wait until dawn, and wait for the military orders. Also, I will eat the essence of the horse and drink the water, so I can fight tomorrow!"
The personal soldiers around him agreed and walked to the camps to give orders. Yang Wenguang said to Jia Kui again: "You take a break first, I will watch it in the middle of the night. If you fight tomorrow morning, you will never have time to rest."
Jia Kui licked his lips and held the axe and said, "I just feel that I have endless national energy on my body, and my blood is surging. I wish I could rush to kill immediately. Where can I sleep? Commander, let's take a break, I will call you if I am sleepy."
The Song army arrived at the designated locations they had prepared in turn, arranged troops and arranged formations, fed horses and drank water, and prepared for the war in the future. It was not messy. Although they did not arrange the formation according to the formation map, the commander had seen the terrain sand tables before leaving, and was not unfamiliar with the nearby terrain. Each battalion had its own position. They were in their own position according to the order of arrival.
At this time, the normal marching speed is generally thirty miles a day. This time, the Song army crossed the river and doubled the speed, which was a normal forced marching. It is naturally inevitable that soldiers would fall behind, but the system of each army remained intact.
The horse's hooves hit the hard yellow earth, which looked particularly crisp in the quiet night. The occasionally exposed stars in the sky seemed to be shaken and shaking. Xu Ping rode on the horse, looked up at the moon hidden in the clouds, and said, "The wind was high and the fire was set, and the moon was dark and the murderous night. There were clouds in the sky, and the earth was dark. Even the heaven helped us in this battle!"
Shi Quanbin nodded repeatedly: "Since crossing the river, I have traveled dozens of miles northward, and there is no movement. It makes me feel that I am not going to fight, but I am fighting a thief chief! We have all taken over this time, right place, and harmonious people!"
"Since the Hao thief rebelled against Song, the two sides fought each other. This is the first time this dynasty's army attacked the enemy. The Pavilion Chief, I didn't expect you to catch up with you. I hope you can bring good luck and defeat the enemy in one battle this time!"
Jia Kui looked at the slight whiteness of the fish belly that gradually became brighter in the sky, licked his lips, and said to Yang Wenguang beside him: "Command, the sky is about to brighten up. I don't know if the thief is going to face us for a while, or if he fled at dawn. If he wants to escape, we may be able to fight the first battle! The three thousand cavalry of the thief are said to be invincible, and we will have to have a good time today!"
