In the second year of Ganxing in the Zhou Kingdom, and the third year of Zhenming in the Ming Dynasty, on April 5, northeast of Jiankang, the Chen army lined up outside the city block, stretching for nearly twenty miles, setting up a formation to face the Zhou army approaching Jiankang and occupying Jiangshan.

The headquarters of the Central Leader Lu Guangda is located in Baitugang, at the southernmost end of the Chen army formation. The general Ren Zhong is north of it, and the north is the general of the guardian Fan Yi, the army supervisor Kong Fan, and the northernmost end is the headquarters of General Xiao Maha.

There was a high hill at the foot of Jiangshan Mountain. The Zhou army marching chief Tan Rang rode his horse to look into the distance, and took advantage of the terrain to see the general situation of Chen's army formation. Today is a decisive battle, and he couldn't help but be excited and he couldn't help but be cautious.

The Chen army's formation lasted nearly twenty miles, but it does not mean that the distance between these twenty miles is three steps and one person is lined up one by one. If this is true, it will be not a war, but a ceremonial battle to strengthen its momentum.

The formation is in a north-south direction, roughly divided into four military formations, with not far apart from each other in order to support each other. The flags are like tides and are covered in darkness, and they look full of momentum.

When Chen's army left the city to form a formation, Zhou's army also set up a formation, facing Chen's army who was leaving the city to form a formation, they were ready to take the lead in attacking.

Of course, if you want to attack, the generals of the Zhou army were afraid that the Chen army would defend the city. If it was not smooth for the time being, the next rainy season would be the rainy season. At that time, the muddy ground and the bowstrings would be loose, so it would be inconvenient to fight. If camping in the continuous rain and exhausting, the Zhou army might not have been able to consume more than Chen army.

So today, the opponent went out of the city to fight for some reason. As the commander of the Zhou army, Tan Rang, was in his mind, and he decided to do his best to seize this decisive opportunity to defeat the main force of Chen's army. By then, the opponent was defeated and he might be able to take down Jiankang that day.

This is not that he is blindly optimistic, but that the formation set up by Chen Jun looks very powerful, but actually has flaws.

The opponent's distance from north to south is nearly twenty miles away, which is a one-character snake formation. With such a long distance, it is difficult to take care of each other. As long as you break through one point, each point will collapse.

Where is the breakthrough point? You can only find it after you get involved.

The serious long snake formation is because of the large horizontal distance, and the two ends of the tail are easily defeated by the enemy one by one due to insufficient reinforcement. Therefore, since the long snake formation dares to be arranged, cavalry must be arranged at both ends.

If the enemy attacks the "snake head", then the "snake tail" will be rolled over to rescue; if the enemy attacks the "snake tail", then the "snake head" will pounce on it; if the enemy attacks the "snake belly", then the head and tail come over at the same time and strangle the enemy.

For such a long snake formation, the two-wing cavalry are very important. Only by relying on the degree of the cavalry can we achieve "tail-looking mutual care"; to break the formation, we must first suppress the two-wing cavalry and limit the opponent's degree, so that they cannot take care of each other.

Only cavalry can suppress cavalry, while the Zhou army does not lack cavalry. The key is that after suppressing the cavalry on both wings of the Chen army, they must also suppress the Chen army's infantry formation, especially concentrating their forces to give priority to breaking through one of the left and right wings of the infantry formation.

If the opponent's commander is properly mobilized, even if the cavalry on both wings are suppressed, they can still deal with the enemy's key attacks. If not, it will be easy.

The two armies are slowly approaching, and the rangers on both sides have started fighting. As the eyes and ears of their commanders, they are responsible for observing the enemy situation. At the same time, they also have to intercept the opponent's rangers to approach their own military formation and observe the military situation.

As the military formation approached, the rangers on both sides returned, bringing some of the scene to the head coach of the side. The rangers on the Zhou army brought the head coach Tan Rang with good news: the banner in the middle of the Chen army's formation was "Kong".

When marching and fighting, the chief generals must show their surnames to avoid the troops and horses following the wrong people and running to other teams, so that their subordinates can know their position during the battle.

This has been the case since ancient times. Generally speaking, there is no impersonation. Therefore, when a ranger approaches the enemy's army in the war, it depends on the banner of each unit of the other side, and thus determine who the enemy's generals are.

"There does not seem to be the surname Kong in the generals of Kong's army."

"Is it the military supervisor Kong Fan?"

"Yes, this must be a coward!"

Through careful investigation and the surrendered soldiers, Tan Rang knew that the emperor of Chen had several close ministers, one of whom was Kong Fan, who was a civil servant who was only good at writing and had never led troops to fight.

Just because he was trusted by the emperor, he was appointed as the military supervisor. In fact, he arranged troops and set up camps and did not know anything. He was just a silver-like gun head, which was not useful.

Despite this, the opponent's troops are in the middle of the formation. If they choose to break through here at the beginning, they will easily be rescued by the Chen army on both sides. At that time, they will be in a stalemate. Maybe today's battle situation will eventually be due to the fact that each of them will withdraw their troops.

This is not what Tan Rang wants, so he has to find other flaws to make breakthroughs.

The northern end of the Chen army's long snake formation is on the shore of Xuanwu Lake. Neither the Zhou army nor the Chen army can be used to carry out the cavalry. Baitugang at the southern end has a wide terrain and is easy to launch a formation and attack.

Tan Rang decided to choose to break through here because the flag of Chen Jun in Baitugang has the word "Lu". It is thought that it was Chen Jun general Lu Guangda, and the two sons of this man had surrendered to Zhou State.

Two little Lu are in Zhouying, so this old Lu may not resist to the end.

"Beat the drum, attack!!"

......

Baitugang, Chen Jun's army formation, Lu Guangda, the leader of the central army, looked at the Zhou army approaching his side and ordered to prepare for the battle. He wanted to use practical actions to prove his loyalty to the court.

Lu Guangda's two sons had surrendered to Zhou State and wrote a letter to persuade him to understand the current affairs and surrender quickly. As soon as he read the letter, he submitted a letter to impeach himself and returned to the city alone, waiting for the court to question him.

Although the emperor was kind to comfort him and did not do anything, he gave him some gold, allowing him to return to the camp to continue to serve the country, the pressure that Lu Guangda felt was still very huge.

Many people questioned that he had an affair with the Zhou State, which made Lu Guangda unable to defend himself. Yesterday, the emperor suddenly ordered the official army to go out of the city to fight the Zhou army, which made Lu Guangda stop talking.

When the Zhou army had just crossed the river, the official army should take the initiative to fight, so that the other party could not gain a foothold in Jiangnan. As a result, the official family could not make up their minds. Now that the enemy is at the city, it should be defending the city and consuming it until the rainy season, the official family asked the official army to attack with all their might.

To defend the city, you must have troops and morale. Once the official army that leaves the city and fights to the decisive battle, Jiankang will be over!

As a veteran on the battlefield, Lu Guangda disagreed with the emperor's decision, but he had to avoid suspicion, so even if he felt it was inappropriate, he could not express different opinions.

The son is his son, he is him, and his son surrenders to save his life, but he is not such a person!

Looking at the enemy army, I vaguely remembered that year, the surrendered general of the Northern Dynasties, Hou Jing, led the rebels to besiege Jiankang. At that time, he was less than 20 years old. He led his clan members to assist the official army in defending Jiankang, but the official army still did not defend Jiankang, and his lives were in trouble.

Later, when the Qi army attacked Jiankang, he did not participate in the war, but he also knew the risks. The government army finally defeated the Qi army, not because of the king's spirit, but because of the soldiers' lives. Therefore, today's battle is time to fight for their lives.

The leader of the army has been an important military position in commanding the imperial guards since the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Lu Guangda was deeply trusted by the emperor and could not repay him. Only by killing the enemy in blood can he prove his innocence.

So, today either the official army won and he returned to the city alive; or he died in battle and died for his country.

Before carrying boxes of money and silk into battle, it was the reward supplies sent by the emperor, and Lu Guangda's own family wealth. If you stay at home, you will only be moldy, so you have to use the most needed place.
