, but General He Xi, who had been designed to be the main target of the first wave of attacks, had already noticed the subtle situation on the battlefield, and then noticed the subtleties and realized that the situation might be completely different from what he had previously expected!

The so-called "micro" is actually two flags.

As the day dawned, He Xi keenly noticed that the first military battalion, which was inadvertently blocked by his troops in the small village in front of him yesterday afternoon, raised the flag with the word "Jia"... This is actually normal. The leader of the gang named Jia is

There are, and it seems there are quite a few. Even if "Jia" has not been seen in the dozen or so battalions of the army encountered during the march, it cannot mean anything, because it is very likely that he has never seen it.

But soon, as the army in the village waved their flags, almost in response, the two armies coming to help on the official road to the northeast of the village also waved their flags. One of them was "Zhai", and the other was also "Jia".

!

Zhai fell, and the two Jia Rang He Xi was completely confused. He repeatedly traveled between the two positions to personally observe the military situation, and after repeatedly asking his subordinates, he came to the conclusion that although there were some differences in military strength, it was obvious that

Due to the attrition of previous battles and marches, these two flags were dismounted and became two independent, organized battalions!

Two independent battalions, two banners with the name Jia, according to the gang system, are two leaders with the surname Jia.

What does it mean when two leaders named Jia suddenly appear?

For most people, it will feel strange, and then there may be some instinctive uneasiness, but it will only be uneasy. No definite conclusion can be drawn for a while, but this is not the case for He Xi... Because He Xi

Not an ordinary person.

He is the old officer of the gang leader Feng Duan, the successor of Sima Changying, and the president of the army's engineering force when Cao Che was there!

Moreover, he is not a nominal project leader like Bai Hengqiu and Sima Changying. Although he grew up in Kansai, he has been neglected since childhood, and his uncle is a former general of the Southern Dynasty, so he does the work himself.

That kind!

He also designed the construction of the capital, palaces, vehicles, Tower of Babel, and golden pillars! During the previous expedition against Dongyi, he was also responsible for supervising the construction of mountains, planning camps, and managing the fleet.

In other words, this person may be the senior official with the most mathematical and engineering thinking in the Forbidden Army, or even in the entire Wei Dynasty.

So, these two characters "Jia" are just a mathematical problem for He Xi: it is known that the gang has fifty battalions, three of which are led by leaders named Jia. Fifteen battalions were dispatched before, and our army encountered ten battalions.

, no leader named Jia participated. So, now two battalions led by leaders named Jia suddenly appeared. What is the probability that these two battalions are among the previous fifteen battalions?

Who knows! But definitely small!

That's right, after He Xi confirmed the appearance of two leaders named Jia, he immediately realized that they were either suspicious soldiers or reinforcements from the gang were coming!

The strength of the troops on the opposite side is not fifteen battalions!

But more!

"Tell Sima Youpushe that the two battalions in front of you are both named Jia, and you haven't seen them before. They may have brought reinforcements for Xin!" He Xi was already completely nervous. "Then catch me alive and fight with your life."

Catch the ones alive and ask where these two battalions came from!"

After the messenger was sent out and the order was given, He Xi was still nervous and nervous. He almost instinctively thought of running away.

But reason told him that running away at this time would do more harm than good.

First of all, Sima Jinda was a few miles away and he ran away at this time. The Sima family could not spare him. Whether it was to enforce military law or to be punished back in the east capital, it would be fatal! Secondly, it was also He Xi's confidence at this time.

Even he believed that even if the reinforcements had arrived and were preparing for a large-scale attack, they would not be able to attack him immediately... As a master engineer, he knew how long it would take for the troops to cross the Guohe River.

It is entirely possible to unite with Sima Jinda to capture this army, gather other soldiers and horses, and then discuss withdrawing or fighting.

Therefore, He Xi almost forced himself to stay where he was and issued additional military orders to prepare for battle.

Facts proved that He Xi's idea seemed to be correct. Two-quarters of an hour later, the Forbidden Army reinforcements arrived first, and Niu Fangsheng's forward troops appeared in the northwest. General Zuo Houwei did not hesitate and ordered the war to begin.

Moreover, the war started in the opposite direction. Except for the necessary troops for the encirclement, almost all the troops in his department rushed towards the one with two large banners with the character "Jia" standing on the outside.

Jia Runshi, who was caught off guard and lacked a solid position, instantly fell into a disadvantage. His battalion of new soldiers almost lost half of their position in the first wave of impact, and the defeated troops collapsed and fled to the side of Zhai Kuan's position.

passed.

"Victory in the battle ahead?"

Sima Jinda was stunned for a moment, but he did not look happy. Instead, he reined in his horse and looked around in confusion, as if he wanted to see through the mystery, but he only saw a wilderness under the misty rain.

Moreover, he had just received the report from He Xi, and he almost immediately agreed with the other party's conjecture. The right servant also believed that reinforcements must have arrived, which in turn proved that he had been added earlier.

Information about the defeat of the Huai'en tribe... Zhang Qianda crossed the river and came over.

These two pieces of information echoed each other, indicating that the gang's reinforcements had arrived, and then just as the Forbidden Army turned around, they crossed the river to fight without hesitation, trying to defeat the main force of the Forbidden Army.

Overturning the original conjecture, Sima Jinda was naturally uneasy, because it meant that a war was likely to break out.

As the actual commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, unlike He Xi, this right servant considered the overall situation. He recognized that it would be disadvantageous for He Xi's army to cross the river and that the Forbidden Army would have no worries in short-term operations. However, he also realized that if

If you waste time here, you may be overtaken by the main army and have to fight.

It's not that we can't fight, but we're talking about, is it necessary to fight decisively? If we fight decisively, should we gather our troops first and wait for work? Should we defend the city to eliminate the disadvantage of rain? Should we fight for a long time? Should we call for reinforcements from Dongdu to defeat the army in one fell swoop?

?

These things are what Sima Jinda has been thinking about in his mind.

However, now that the front lines are engaged and we have the upper hand, we need to put aside these thoughts for the time being.

In fact, Sima Jinda has never been a hesitant person. He thinks about it, but he never hesitates when he really wants to make a decision:

"Order the entire army to speed up and ignore the fighting in front of General He. Just let General Niu deal with it. Everyone turn left and go around the enemy's rear from the east to surround the thieves on the outside of the two battalions!"

As soon as the military order was issued, Sima Jinda did not hesitate and drove his horse forward in person. The 6,000 troops in the rear immediately separated from the 3,000 in the front, changed direction, and accelerated toward the east.

This trip really made Sima Jinda know the truth outside the fog of war as quickly as possible!

Without him, just two-quarters of an hour later, when Xu Shiren's troops had just reached the new barracks of Jia Runshi, who was almost collapsing, although it was raining, the view was still good before noon, and Sima Jin, who had just turned to Sima Jin not long ago,

Da was caught off guard in the wilderness when he saw an army of over ten thousand men and a large red flag that made him tremble.

Then it was like falling into an ice cave on the spot.

Let's also say that one of the two sides made a temporary U-turn and the other temporarily sent troops. They both believed that the front was a gap in the fighting area. Even if the sentry cavalry was scattered, it would be impossible to complete the control in such a short period of time.

Relatively speaking, under normal clear weather, the opponent's army can be seen four miles away, but it requires concentration, and if the terrain is slightly undulating, the forest obstruction will be obscured. Of course, the closer you get, the closer you will be.

It's becoming clearer.

In fact, because of the presence of sentry riders and practitioners, the two sides were aware of each other's presence six miles apart.

But we are not sure of the strength of the troops, we are not sure of the opponent's true direction of travel, we are not even sure whether it is an enemy or a friend. It doesn't matter if we are friends, but we don't know how many enemies there are... And this distance is only a moment of adjustment and verification, and it is impossible to turn directly.

, the stagnant parties will directly enter each other's field of vision.

Zhang Xing rode a yellow gelding and looked at the panicked troops on both sides through the rain. One of the troops was heading east by south, and the other was heading south by west. They were about to collide. They were adjusting in a panic, as if they were preparing to face each other.

Come and fight.

"Something's wrong." Li Ding narrowed his eyes slightly, and then suddenly made an unexpected judgment. "He's not going to fight us, he's going to escape, and he definitely doesn't have direct backup... Under the banner of Sima, whether it's Sima Huada or

Sima Deke, we can’t let go, we have to catch up quickly.”

"I'll stop him!" Xiong Bonan was about to leave.

"How can one resort to pressure tactics when a war starts?" Zhang Xing stopped Xiong Bonan, then got off his horse and led the yellow gelding to a person behind him through the rain.

The man understood, got off his horse, and took the reins of the yellow gelding, but it turned out that the leader was not Qin Er.

"Three hundred are ready to give you all." Zhang Xing loosened the reins and pointed at the "Sima" flag in the distance among the troops preparing to flee. "With people like Sima Huada on the opposite side, it is better to be alive than dead..."
