please make me king

Chapter 1470 Yuetuo's Choice
"Boom boom boom!"

"Wow hoo hoo!"

Accompanied by bursts of thunder, raindrops as big as beans crackled down, making the originally noisy battlefield seem silent for a while.

Teams of neat cavalry gradually appeared on the west bank of Zhuo River, like red demons, watching Fanshan Fort and the rebels around Fanshan Fort from the northwest.

"[-], [-]?" Zhang Sanbai turned his head and looked at the Haoge and Duoduo troops who surrounded him in a crescent shape from the south gate and the east gate, and then looked at Yue who was staring at him in the northwest of Zhuoshui. Asking the troops, he couldn't help but smiled and said.

"Prince Su Haoge, Prince Yu Duoduo, plus a prince Cheng Yuetuo, the three famous kings of the Houjin Kingdom, this Mrs. Hong really thinks highly of me!"

As soon as Zhang Sanbai said this, the deputy commander Yang Guozhu, the guard commander Bai Guangen and others couldn't help laughing.

At the beginning, Zhang Shun paid great attention to the arrangement of the generals under the command of Zhang Sanbai, the left wing, in order to pass orders and prohibit them.

In addition to his own troops, there are Yang Guozhu, Zhang Dayu, Yang Chengzu, Jiang Xiang, Li Fuming, Luo Xiangqian, Huang Degong, Xian Guoan, and Bai Guangen's nine camps.

Among the nine battalions, apart from Yang Guozhu, who had a high status, and Bai Guangen, a veteran general, the remaining seven were all under Zhang Sanbai's control.

As for Yang Guozhu and Bai Guangen, one was Zhang Sanbai's deputy commander, and the other was the guard commander of Fanshanbao, so naturally they had nothing to say.

On the one hand, it can be instructed like an arm, and on the other hand, it can be prepared early.

So what could thirty thousand be against fifty thousand, Zhang Sanbai was confident in resisting the enemy in front of him.

In crisis, there is opportunity in danger.

If it is [-] to [-], everyone can do it, how can I show Zhang Sanbai's ability!

If you can't attack, then play defense.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

As the rain became heavier and heavier, Yue Tuo led the Jingqi of the Baya Laying under his command to find shallow water and waded through the Zhuo River.

The volume of Zhuo River is relatively small, and the shallowest point is only three feet deep, just enough to wade across on horseback.

However, there was silt accumulated at the bottom of the river. After the Golden Cavalry stepped into the water, it was suddenly one foot deep and one foot shallow, making it difficult to pass quickly.

"Li Shi'an, look at this distance, can you take the opportunity to shoot some shots?" Zhang Sanbai wiped the rain from his eyes and couldn't help but ordered.

"Zhang Shuai, the distance is a bit far, and the rain is too heavy, which affects the use of our artillery." Li Shi'an shook his head when he heard this.

"No, isn't the gunpowder wrapped in oiled paper? How could it be affected?" Zhang Sanbai didn't expect this to happen, and couldn't help frowning.

"It's true that our gunpowder is wrapped in oiled paper. It's just that it's raining heavily now, so it will be soaked to some extent. Even if it is not soaked, once it is opened, it will be easily watered by rain!" Li Shi'an quickly explained.

"Actually, it's not just artillery, even firearms such as blunderbuss, quick guns, sharp guns, mines, and grenades cannot be used easily!"

"This..." Zhang Sanbai's expression turned a little ugly when he heard the words.

To be honest, the quality of the soldiers of the rebel army is higher than that of the Ming army, but compared with the Houjin soldiers who have experienced many battles, they are still half a chip behind.

In the past, the reason why the rebel army was able to defeat the golden soldiers in a row was because of artillery, firecrackers and other firearms.

Now that the use of artillery and firecrackers is limited, the rebels will be passive.

"It's okay. Although the rain is not small, there is actually no way!" Yang Guozhu, the deputy commander, shook his head and said, "You can gather the oil-paper umbrellas of the entire army and distribute them to the loaders, so as not to wet the gunpowder."

Obviously, the Ming army, which relied more on gunpowder weapons to fight, had quite a lot of experience in dealing with such accidents.

"Okay, gather up the oil-paper umbrellas of the entire army as soon as possible, and give them priority to the artillerymen." Zhang Sanbai couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard this, "Also, order the soldiers to put on their coir raincoats as soon as possible to prevent them from getting sick from the cold."

"Teams without rain gear should rotate off in time and enter the camp outside the city to avoid the rain."

This three hundred is not Zhang Shun, of course he doesn't know what "cold" and "cold" are, but years of life experience tell him that if he is exposed to rain for a long time, he will be unable to withstand it.

In order to avoid non-combat attrition, he had to start shrinking the line of defense.

And just when the rebel army began to shrink the line of defense, Prince Cheng Yuetuo met with Prince Su Hauge and Prince Yu Duoduo.

"What's the situation now?" He couldn't help asking.

"Here, that's the situation!" Prince Yu Duoduo was not used to him at all, but pouted in the direction of Fanshanbao.

"Tsk!" Yue Tuo looked at the almost crowded battlefield, and asked involuntarily, "You all took up the positions, what should we do?"

It turned out that the 3 horses on the left wing of the rebel army and the 4 horses under the command of Hauge and Dorgon, a total of [-] people, were all crowded in the triangular area south of Zhuoshui, east of Chiyou Spring, and west of Dongshan.

Although this area is flat and vast, the contact surface between the two sides is not very long.

Therefore, when Yue Tuo's troops arrived, if they all crossed the river, they could only line up in the northwest area of ​​the Duoduo army formation, and could not join the battlefield at all.

"What should we do? Aren't there empty spaces to the north and west of Fanshan Castle?" Hauge couldn't help laughing.

Because Yuetuo was overdue, Hauge and Duoduo complained a lot, so they didn't have any good looks with him.

Nima, Prince Cheng Yuetuo just wanted to curse when he heard the words.

However, after thinking about it for a while, he finally accepted the reality helplessly.

It's not that he's willing to swallow the breath, but it's the way it is.

Now in this narrow area, there are nearly 20 troops from both sides.

Even if Yue Tuo had great abilities, he couldn't get past Duduo and Haoge's troops to attack the rebels' Fanshan Fort.

That being the case, he could only avoid the southeast area of ​​Fanshan Fort and look for attack points from other places.

Soon, he really found an entry point.

"Reporting to Prince Cheng, our army's scouts found one camp of the 'Shun Bandit' on the plateau, which was quite empty; the second one had a gap between the plateau and Fanshan Fort, about a mile or so, which fit perfectly Our army is attacking." Not long after, there was indeed a scout report.

"Now it's raining heavily, the roads are getting muddy, and the rivers are getting more and more difficult to cross." Na Yuetuo mused after hearing the words.

"Since this is the case, pass on the king's order to divide our army into three battalions."

"The first battalion stormed Fanshan Fort, the second battalion waded across the river between the plateau and Fanshanbao, pinched Fanshanbao, and the other battalion stormed the camp of the 'Shun Bandits', encircling Wei and saving Zhao. I want to see the 'Shun Bandits' how to respond!"

As soon as Yue Tuo's department moved here, the rebel army on the other side saw it clearly from the Fortress, and some soldiers reported to Zhang Sanbai long ago: "Marshal Zuo, Jianlu soldiers are divided into three groups. The gap west of the fort and the Rebel camp."

"Oh?" Zhang Sanbai laughed when he heard the words, "General Bai Guangenbai is in charge of the defense of our fortress."

"However, since there are not enough people under his command, let's call 'Huang Chuangzi' to help him!"

"As for the camp of the rebel army, it is enough for the flag bearer to warn King Shun. According to King Shun's thoughts and methods, I am afraid that he has already sent people to guard it, so there is nothing to be afraid of."
