The genius was bright and the banks of the wet Li River were covered with fog. Zhu Gaoxu rode his horse, crossing a floating bridge with the civil and military officials and his personal soldiers. When he looked back, he saw the figures of countless soldiers, gradually coming from the white fog.

Countless torches became blurred in the hazy air; from a distance, they looked like floating fireflies.

There was no sound of drums and trumpets, and amid the sound of footsteps, there was a "ding-ding-clang-clang" sound of metals such as armor and other soft impacts. From time to time, a few coughs and horses were heard.

Zhu Gaoxu and others passed the boat bridge and were the flat land on the south bank of the Li River, like a triangular "peninsula". The location of the Han Wangjun is located on the east side of this plain, and is the smallest corner of the "triangle" (that is the right side on the map).

With such a terrain, the Han Wang Army needed fewer people on the front line. This was a small benefit for Zhu Gaoxu, who had fewer troops.

In the easternmost corner, there is a small village with some shrubs and bamboo forests growing near the village. To the west, there are large areas of weeds and short trees, dry land with vegetables, and some rice fields. However, Zhu Gaoxu's central army flag is not located here, but is still in front (west).

He led a team of men and horses to walk west from the road between the dry land, and soon arrived at the position of the central army. There were already many troops around him, setting up formations nearby.

Zhu Gaoxu stood in place and observed for a while, and his vision was not very clear in the fog; but yesterday, he had already understood the surrounding terrain... From the Lijiang River to the south, the front of the mountain is less than two miles wide.

If infantrymen stand side by side, the first row only needs seven or eight hundred people. In fact, there are far less people, because there are some rice fields, small ponds, etc. on the ground, so it is not advisable to arrange people.

There will be no general who will arrange the soldiers one by one. In that case, once the front cannot hold it, it will easily squeeze back and cause the entire army to collapse; large and dense camps cannot reinforce the front. There are different sizes and spaces between any large formation, the Hundred Houses, and the Thousand Generals. So this time, the first row of the front line of the Han Wang Army may not be even 500 people.

At this time, Zhao Ping and other soldiers rode their horses and followed the flag of the central army.

After the ceremony, Zhu Gaoxu asked, "Where is the main force of the enemy?"

Zhao Ping pointed to the west, "There is an estuary to the west, which is the intersection of Anle River (Yulong River) and Li River. The Anle River surface is narrow, and the enemy has built many boat bridges. Now they have almost crossed Anle River."

Zhu Gaoxu asked again: "Have the narrow valley extending east-west to the south arrived?"

Zhao Ping clasped his fists and said, "Go back to the prince, I went there in the early morning. In the front is Yin Desheng's Qianjun."

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt that the name sounded a little familiar, so he casually said, "I seem to have heard of this name somewhere."

Zhao Ping said: "In the battle of attacking Guizhou City, Yin Desheng took the lead in climbing to the top of the city and was promoted to three levels in a row according to military orders. Now he is a thousand households."

"I remember, that general is good, brave and fearless." Zhu Gaoxu nodded. He looked back and said seriously: "We have less than 60,000 people in this battle, and at least 90,000 people against Wu Gao. But as long as we win, the bravery and good fighting of the Han King Army will surely shock the world and be famous all over the world. Everyone is working hard!"

The generals clasped their fists and said, "The last general is willing to drive the prince!"

Zhu Gaoxu also wanted to wait until his chances of winning were greater and then start the war; but in Guangxi territory, he and Wu Gao had been wandering around for so many days, and there was no way to deal with Wu Gao. Now Wu Gao is finally willing to start the war again, and Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to give up the opportunity anymore, so he decided to seize this rare opportunity to take risks!

...It was bright, but it was cloudy. If it was sunny, it would be noon now.

The northwest wind blew a few days ago, but today there was suddenly no wind. A faint mist covered the earth, but there was no wind at all, and the fields were dull and depressed.

However, the noise on all sides was getting louder and louder. Countless people and horses from both sides set up large formations about a mile away, looking at each other from afar. On the hazy earth, countless soldiers were like a sea of ​​people.

Wu Gao sat on the horse's back, looking at the scene in the east, and heard the shouts of shouts from the enemy's side.

Many generals around gathered together one after another, and Wu Gao spoke in a speech: "My royal division's troops are almost twice as powerful as the rebels. Today, we will win the decisive battle. All units should invest heavily in all directions and launch a comprehensive attack on the rebels! With their superior forces, we must quickly use up all the rebels' team of power and brave men, and win or lose in this battle!"

Everyone suddenly stared at each other and shouted: "The Ming Dynasty official army will win!"

The generals dispersed and the battalions prepared for war. Not long after, the only ten heavy artillery pieces of the official army were transported to the front, and a cannon formation was set up one mile away from the rebels.

When the central army drums sounded, the Hongwu cannons of the official army began to roar one after another. The lights and fires burst out in the fog, and the flashing light seemed to kick off the battle.

The two sides did not communicate directly, but started a war directly! No one sent a fierce general to challenge, because the war in this era has long been ruled. If people were sent to challenge like the Three Kingdoms period, they would definitely be shot into a hedgehog immediately by arrows.

With a terrifying whistling sound, stone bullets and iron balls flew from the air to the front of the Han Wang Army. There was almost no need to aim. Most of the shells fell into the dense square formation of the Han Wang Army, and only a few fell into the paddy fields.

The screams in the distance were faintly heard. But the Han Wang Army's front was not shaken at all, and the shelling of a mile and a mile away could not shake the rebels' team.

After the initial dozens of huge cannons, Wu Gao was immediately surprised.

Because after struggling in the mud and heavy rain for a few days, the morale and physical strength were greatly weakened, the performance of the Han Wangjun was a bit unexpected. However, Wu Gao thought that the Han Wangjun had been fighting in the past two years, and perhaps his soldiers had experience and were not easily scared.

The government army has been marching recently, with limited heavy artillery carrying and slow loading; the war could not wait for the second round of artillery attacks. Two square formations of a thousand-person team on the left wing of the front army of the government army were the first to advance forward.

An infantry on the north side of the rebel camp also began to advance, and the two sides began a duel from tentative contact.

Soon, the Han Wangjun stopped first, and many bowl-mouth guns were fired in one round, and the government army also allowed various artillery to be carried back. The banks of the Lijiang River suddenly covered the smoke and the noisy voices were heard far away.

When the two men approached each other, the bows, arrows and muskets shot at each other again and again, the smoke filled the fog, and the riverside was filled with smoke. Today, it was cloudy, and the sky seemed even more gloomy at this time.

The range and lethality of the muskets on both sides are not essentially different, and the accuracy is not very good. Although the soldiers are relatively tired, they are not troops that can be defeated by just shooting a musket bow and crossbow; the real decision of the winner is also terrifying pressure of rushing face to face with swords and guns!

The left wing of the official army had already reached a close contact! The smoke was heavy on the other side, and Wu Gao could not see the specific situation in the distance, but the generals in front could see it. At this time, a light cavalry from the left wing of the official army was moved, and the second infantry phalanx began to advance.

Seeing this, Wu Gao knew that the left-wing vanguard's war was not good. It was because of this that the generals in front of the official army would take the lead in sending the Quan Yong team behind to support him.

At the foot of the mountain to the south, the right-wing infantry of the official army also began to attack, and people from all over the first front were dispatched one after another. The generals followed Wu Gao's military orders and launched a full attack on the rebels!

After the first shot, less than half an hour later, the battle in Hirano became more and more intense!

There was a larger village between the two armies. At this time, a raging fire had already ignited there, and houses everywhere were burning. Black smoke rolled in the air, mixed with the smoke of guns and cannons and the fog on the ground, as if the entire earth was shrouded in dark clouds. There was noisy on all sides.

Behind the peaks in the south, the sound of cannons "boom boom boom..." also came from a valley. In the mountains in the south, Wu Gao also deployed his troops in advance; intending to break through the rebels' defense line in the valley, and then he could encircle the rear wings of the main rebels' main force.

Without waiting for the military information on the battlefield south to report, Wu Gao heard the sound of cannons and knew that the battle behind the green mountains in the south had also broken out!

There was smoke between the sudden mountain peaks, and the fires on the houses on the ground were still burning. The huge noise under the sky had not stopped at all.

Wu Gao sat on the horse's back without saying a word. His gray hair was exposed from under the iron helmet, and his face under the brim of the hat had a serious expression, with calmness and calmness.

At this moment, Wu Gao, the head commander of the official army, did not issue any military orders. He was just observing the overall situation of the battlefield. The battlefield with more than 100,000 people on both sides extended several miles from north to south. Wu Gao obviously could not issue specific military orders to each subordinate. At this moment, the front-line battlefield could only rely on the generals everywhere to be responsible for tactics.

"Go!" Wu Gao suddenly shouted and turned his head, "The smoke is too big, let's go ahead and take a look."

A group of guards surrounded him one after another, and the horse team left the central army and ran straight east.

Wu Gao and others passed through the distance between the cavalry team standing on the ground and holding horses. The more they walked eastward, the louder the sound of killing and huge noises became, which was simply deafening.

There were fighting everywhere on the earth, and the defeated people were retreating westward. The nearby generals were shouting loudly, trying to gather the dispersed soldiers again.

In the thick smoke in the air, occasionally solid bullets of the bowl-mouth gun were shot out and flew far away. The personal soldiers and generals reminded Wu Gao to be careful.

On such a battlefield, rivers and mountains are on both sides, so it is difficult to flank detour. There are a large number of people on both sides, and there are enough Power Braves to reinforce to the front line, and fierce battles are continuing everywhere.
