Chapter 470: Battle of Luorong (2)
Wang Bin's cavalry passed in front of the enemy's formation. In the smoke and dust, the front infantry formations of the two armies were only a few dozen steps apart.
There was a loud roar of cannons on the battlefield. The government troops stood still, and the bowl-shaped guns set up in the back, like spittoons, fired loudly; cast iron shells and arrows were thrown out together. In front of the Han army were archers, who also began to attack from dozens of steps away.
The huge noise on the west bank of the stream shook the earth, and between the firing of cannons and arrows, countless screams and shouts filled the air. The ground was even more smoky, as if it was shrouded in haze and a storm was about to come.
The woods and houses in the distance were also shrouded in smoke, becoming vague.
The two armies were only 50 to 60 steps away from each other. The official army could only shoot with their bowl-mouthed guns behind the formation, otherwise the

To the northwest of the nameless river, there are large tracts of rice fields; an official road extends northward from the dry land in the middle, then bends and turns west along the edge of the forest.The forest was composed of patches of pine, cypress and bamboo forests, with some vegetable fields and houses in between; continuing northward, there was a body of water and a lake.At this moment, the forest was filled with white smoke, and the fog was shrouded. Inside, there was a lot of noise, and the sound of strings, guns, and shouts mixed together, making it very noisy.The main cavalry of the government army came around from the southwest, with a large number of people and horses. There was no end to the horse team, and the sound of horse hooves "rumble rumble..." resounded through the world, as if it was a continuous thunder in the sky!Obviously, Wang Bin's cavalry charge failed to stop the large cavalry of the government troops. The government
Game of the Throne Chapter 472: Being spoiled and arrogant
On the evening of August 7, Zhu Gaoxu learned the news that Wang Bin was going to attack Wu Gao's troops in the military camp south of Guilin City.Zhu Gaoxu didn't sleep well that night.The defeat of the vanguard army led by Wang Bin was inevitable, and Zhu Gaoxu had no expectation of victory or defeat; while he tried his best to face reality, he still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that Wang Bin's troops could escape death and avoid the fate of being wiped out!Wu Gao had an army of 100,000 men under his command, which would not have given Wang Bin any chance of winning; if Wu Gao was really so incompetent, Zhu Di would not have had to use the strategy of alienation against Wu Gao during the Jingnan Campaign, because a stupid and incompetent general would actually be beneficial to the enemy.Such a wait was quite tormenting. Zhu Gaoxu seemed to be waiting for the verdict, his heart hanging in the air, unable to land; he really couldn't let go of the

Pinglefu City is surrounded by water on several sides and mountains on one side. Only the hilly terrain in the northeast is relatively open.Like many cities built at the confluence of rivers, Pingle City is located at the confluence of the Li River and the Lechuan River (Chajiang River), which is convenient for water transportation. The Lechuan River flows around the city from the north and flows into the Li River in the east; the Li River flows around the city from the south. To the southeast of the city, there is a mountain range that runs from east to west, and the ridge shields the southeast corner of Pingle City.On the afternoon of the tenth day of the eighth month, the main force of the Han army arrived at the north of Pingle Prefecture and near a ferry on the west bank of the Lechuan River. There were several islands in the middle of the river, which were convenient for building a floating bridge.But the army could not cross the river immediately a
Game of the Throne Chapter 474: Meeting on a Narrow Road
Morale is very abstract. It is difficult for a single person to control it, but it can be detected and guided...After leaving the vanguard camp, Zhu Gaoxu rode his horse on the nearby hillsides and ran for ten miles. When he returned to the central army camp, it was completely dark. Various factors flashed and brewed in his mind again and again.Given the distance at which the enemy had boldly set up camp, Zhu Gaoxu felt that Wu Gao intended to launch a decisive battle tomorrow.This will be a duel similar to an encounter. Although both sides expected to meet in Pingle Mansion, the battle is about to break out as soon as they come into contact!At this moment, Miao Jin walked into the room where Zhu Gaoxu lived. She found a quilt somewhere in the village and walked in to put it on Zhu Gaoxu's shabby wooden bed.Zhu Gaoxu cast a glance over, and Miao Jin asked, "King Han still has trouble sleeping recently?""I have a lot to think about."

Game of the Throne Chapter 475: The Sound of Cannons in the Mountains
The main infantry force of the official army marched continuously for half an hour, covering eight or nine miles. By the time they caught up with the main force of the Han army and could see the enemy's men and horses with the naked eye, the sun had already reached the third pole position.The even and rhythmic drums kept beating, and the military music mixed in, unexpectedly gave people a faint sense of joy. Perhaps because the battlefield was often bloody and horrible, the music in the Ming Dynasty army rarely used heavy and grand music.Wu Gao, with his gray hair, had many wrinkles on his face, but his arms were full of tender flesh, as shown by his wrist armor. He rode up a hill and looked at the enemy's deployment in the distance.Wu Gao had received reports before and had a general idea of the situation. Now that he had seen it with his own eyes, he quickly understood the situation.Usually when Wu Gao fought a big battle, he liked to use the str
Game of the Throne Chapter 476: The Intention of Retreating
Wu Gao, Marquis of Jiangyin, had already thought of withdrawing his troops to Guilin Prefecture. He sent people to Pingle Prefecture City and ordered the prefect Chen Yongsheng to mobilize ships and build a floating bridge on the Lechuan River in the north of the city.Guilin Prefecture is located to the north and west of this place. To march towards Guilin, one must cross the Lechuan River, which flows roughly from north to south.But before noon, Wu Gao received a reply from Chen Yongsheng. In the letter, Chen Yongsheng said that Pingle Prefecture had sufficient food and grass, and invited the Marquis of Jiangyin to station in the city. However, he did not mention the construction of the pontoon bridge.After reading the letter, Wu Gao was immediately furious and blurted out, "Even a prefect wants to bargain with me? This Chen Yongsheng is too bold!"Before the army arrived at Pingle Prefecture, Wu Gao made some promises to Chen Yongsheng in order to

On the afternoon of August 12, the northwest wind was still blowing in the mountains of Pingle Prefecture, and the sun was occasionally visible in the clouds.The large number of Wu Gao's troops in the hilly area to the west were slowly retreating. The two armies had been in a state of confrontation since yesterday, but only a small-scale fierce battle took place on the Han Wang army's vanguard side; and now the main force of the enemy army began to retreat again.Several generals around Zhu Gaoxu immediately rushed to request orders to pursue the enemy!But Zhu Gaoxu shook his head without hesitation and said, "The situation this time is completely different from the situation when we were chasing Xue Lu's army before. The terrain here is undulating, which is not conducive to the army's rapid advancement; Wu Gao has not gathered the main force of the army together. Moreover, the enemy has not been defeated, and their morale and combat effectiveness have not
Game of the Throne Chapter 478: Ballad in the Cold Rain
Heavy rain was falling slantingly in the northwest wind, and the boat bridge on the river was hazy in the rain, as if shrouded in fog.The long procession of soldiers and horses moved slowly in the rain. Some wore straw hats, a few wore straw raincoats, and some soldiers had no shelter from the rain and marched in the rain.The roads in the wild were not paved with bricks or stones. After a whole night of rain, the roads had been trampled by countless people and horses this morning and were already muddy.The conditions at this time were limited. There was no need for a major natural disaster. Just an ordinary rain would slow down the army's movement. The distance from Pingle Prefecture to Yangshuo County was less than 60 miles. If the weather was good, the army could reach the place in less than two days. However, given the current road conditions, the army would have difficulty reaching Yangshuo County in three days with a large number of vehicles and bagg
