Chapter 775 Gather

When a big wave hit, it was not only the imperial city that was swept over, and Yang Yansi and Yang Wenguang were definitely not the only ones torn apart by the big wave.

This big wave will extend out to sort out all the people and forces related to Yang Yansi, those who deserve to die must die, and those who don't deserve to die will not be killed indiscriminately. This kind of matter was naturally handed over to Xuan Qingwei, which was the emperor expressing his trust to Pang Ban.

As for how Pang Ban arranged for the people below to do this matter, the emperor would not ask, he would only look at the results.

And if you really think about it, this kind of errand with the power to seize the house is definitely a rare and fat job, and the benefits involved in it are definitely beyond the imagination of others. How many merchants behind Yang Yansi have close contacts with him? Counting them one by one can scare people to death. Among them, Pang Ban has to master the proportion.

This is the middle of this big wave, but it is not over yet. The most violent one is at the end, that is, it extends beyond the Jingjiu Dynasty, crosses the Wuhu Lake along the bamboo road, and goes all the way to the southeast. The last unlucky one.

August 27th, Baektou Gorge, sunny.

The imperial city has already begun to scorching heat, and the Baitou Gorge is even hotter. Just after dawn in the morning, the rising air of the earth echoes the scorching sun overhead and intensifies the soaring temperature, which can make you feel like you are in a humid steamer in half an hour.

But this kind of weather still couldn't stop the slaughter from coming. Before dawn, Zuo Yuliang's main force lined up with drums, and once again launched a fierce attack on the newly built barbarian defense line in front.

Since the barbarians retreated sixty miles in the last war, there have been only small fights and no major wars.

I don't want to grind, because I have passed the stage of testing each other and killing each other's potential, and now I want to seek opportunities for a decisive battle. Therefore, accumulating strength is like smashing walnuts. Lightly knocking may not be able to crack the hard shell. The most correct way is to smash it down with sufficient force.

This time, the main force gathered on the Baitou Gorge has reached more than 155,000, and there are more than 80,000 auxiliary soldiers.

The troops were divided into three sides and formed a trident array to advance forward.

The south is mainly defensive, the purpose is to curb the main roads coming to Baitou Gorge from the south, and cut off the connection between Huzhuyuan and Baitou Gorge.

The north is mainly dominated by Shen Wanlin's troops who went south from Jianchuan, and the number of re-added cavalry has reached 20,000. They are divided into four guerrilla groups all day long. At Baili, the main task at present is to harass the barbarians' food production and transportation around the flanks. Today's battle is also guerrilla-based, and there is no perfect opportunity to participate in the frontal attack.

The strong attack is naturally Zuo Yuliang's Chinese army. Now there is nothing to hide. Although the illusion on the Wuhu side is still there, everyone knows that the current Baitou Gorge is where Zuo Yuliang's central army is located. The main force of nearly 120,000 will launch a strong attack from his side towards the barbarians in Baitouxia.

Frontal attack is actually the "basic skill" that all generals must be proficient in. The methods in the general direction are actually similar, but the details and the control of the offensive rhythm are the watershed that distinguishes ordinary generals from famous generals.

This time is different from the previous raid. The monk Zuo Yuliang did not push up as soon as he came, but let the monks in Jingying Mansion scatter in an array to spread the fighting power of each part, and at the same time strengthen the frontal attack overall strength.

Of course, top experts like Xuan Tianqing still have to sit beside Zuo Yuliang, these people also have the power to make the final decision in a decisive battle.

At Chen Shi, the two sides began to form their own formations and make the final preparations before the fight. As soon as the time arrived, the two sides began to "greeting". The catapults on both sides began to show their power, and stone bombs or kerosene bombs flew towards each other. However, the catapults on the Jingjun side are obviously stronger than those on the barbarian side, at least in terms of throwing distance.

The mutual throwing of stone bombs and kerosene bombs is the most test of the soldiers' psychological endurance.

No one knows whether the roaring stone bomb will fall on his head, or whether the kerosene bomb dropped on his head will explode around him and turn into a sea of ​​flames. Even ordinary soldiers sometimes watched the attack fall and did not dare to evade and disrupt the army formation. They could only raise their shields in vain to block and pray for their lives.

The only thing that acts as a defensive end in the army formation is the monks' magic defense or the blocking air shield set up by the combined attack technique. However, for a battle of this level, where hundreds of thousands of people confront each other, the number of monks is just a drop in the bucket. The survival of most soldiers depends on whether luck takes care of them or not.

At just the right moment, the two sides made contact for the first time, and the prelude to the killing began. Soon Jingjun felt that the barbarians on the other side were very different from the previous war. Because there are several more main groups and some vassal groups in the opposite array. Among them, the monkey clan, the bear clan and the deer clan are the leaders.

The addition of the Bear Clan made the Barbarian Clan stronger in frontal array, while the Monkey Clan made the Barbarian Clan's array more flexible and possessed the ability to fight in different formations. Almost all of the last deer clan were born archers with keen senses, manipulating bows and crossbows to bring a large-scale destruction to the Jing army that was rarely seen before.

How else can the barbarians be the opponents of the Jing Dynasty for hundreds of thousands of years? The barbarians who gather all the tribes are the real barbarians, and they have the capital to fight against the Jing old dynasty.

It's a pity that many powerful groups among the barbarians have withered after repeated failures. For example, the elephant family whose number has shrunk severely or the eagle family that has become extinct. On the other hand, in the old Jing dynasty, when the war was fought to this point, there was not even a single compulsory conscription in the country, and it was completely comfortable.

Not to mention far away, aside from the end of the emperor's life and the "big test" of the royal family, this war can drag on for at least three years, what about the barbarians? I'm afraid that if it drags on for another year, it will really go bankrupt.

But the good news is that although the Jingjun encountered these new ethnic groups for the first time in Baitouxia, these new ethnic groups had already fought against the Jing Army many times when they were in Huzhuyuan, and the history The previous confrontations were also written in the military history of each army. There is no fault in the experience of dealing with it, but the fight will be harder than before.

Zuo Yuliang looked at the overall situation in the army, with a relaxed expression, and even chatted with several high-ranking monks around him about the characteristics and weaknesses of the various ethnic groups of the barbarians. His calm appearance made everyone feel at ease.

"The Bear Clan is really capable of giving birth. It is much more numerous than the Elephant Clan. Not to mention defending Huzhuyuan, it can reinforce tens of thousands of people in Baitou Gorge, as well as the Monkey Clan. It makes up for the shortcomings of the Wolf Clan who are not good at fighting. .Combined with the bow and archery skills of the Deer Clan, this battle becomes more and more interesting."

I don't know where Zuo Yuliang thinks the enemy becomes "interesting" after it becomes stronger. Is it because he is excited about having a tough opponent?

No one answered Zuo Yuliang's words. After a pause, Zuo Yuliang raised his hand and gave an order to the flag officer in front of him: "Let the Chongche go out. I want to see the battle line advance more than fifteen miles before noon!"
