The setting sun is like blood, and yellow sand is everywhere.
The desolate atmosphere is evident everywhere. This is Ganzhou City, one of the six main cities in Dalong's northern border. Xiaoguo Guard, one of Dalong's six guards, is stationed here.
Liu Mingzhi held the horse with one hand and carried the Heavenly Sword on his back, gazing at Ganzhou City not far away from a high slope with solid yellow sand.
The howling wind made Liu Mingzhi's clothes whistle, and his hair tied with a feather crown also fluttered.
"The smoke is everywhere, the smoke is rolling, and the heroes and sons and daughters are buried here!"
Song List held the horizontal sword on his waist and put the telescope on the horse's back. He walked to the same position as Young Master Liu and was also looking at the city of Ganzhou City.
"Hot blood dyes the yellow sand, iron and blood builds high walls, and the man's fame will be obtained immediately! Magnificent, Great Dragon Ganzhou."
There was a slanted smile on Liu Mingzhi's lips: "This is my first time for this young master to come to Ganzhou, but I have been attracted by the scenery of Ganzhou. However, such beautiful scenery was destroyed by the enemy troops from the Western Regions stationed ten miles away. It is a pity that it is really pity!"
Song Qing squinted at Liu Mingzhi: "Enter the city?"
"Don't worry, give me the telescope first to observe the situation of the enemy camp. I don't know if the other four reinforcements have arrived. It seems that the battle has been going on for more than a month. I don't know how many soldiers have used their lives to attack Ganzhou again." The city wall has been raised one level!"
Liu Mingzhi took the telescope and started watching.
To the northwest of Ganzhou City, a tent covered by the sky and the sun clearly entered Young Master Liu's eyes.
There is the camp of the Western Regions countries. Setting up camp less than five miles away from Ganzhou City shows how arrogant the people of the Western Regions countries have become.
War horses carrying billowing smoke would come in and out of the camp gate from time to time. These must be scouts from the countries in the Western Regions!
"How's it going? Do you have an estimate in mind?"
Liu Mingzhi put away the telescope and shook his head: "Something's not right!"
"Something's wrong?"
"The enemy is clearly confident that they are camping five miles away from Ganzhou. It has been one month and thirteen days since His Highness gave the order to leave the capital. It is supposed that the army rushing to help from four directions should have arrived, but you see that it looks like two A scene where 170,000 enemy troops face 360,000 dragon soldiers?"
Song Qing took the telescope and observed a cup of tea. After putting down the heavy telescope, he was also puzzled: "You are right, and have you seen the situation on the wall of Ganzhou City?"
"People in civilian clothes are walking around on the city wall!"
"Yes, even the people are on the city wall. The situation must not be good! Is there really something wrong with the reinforcements?"
"Look over there!"
Song Qing immediately looked in the direction pointed by Liu Mingzhi, which happened to be the southeast direction of Ganzhou City. Dust and smoke were billowing, and flags were flying. Compared with the 270,000 enemy troops who were encamped and inactive, the scene in front of them was much different. Even more exciting.
"Look who's coming from here?"
Song Qing took out his telescope and looked at the army that was billowing with dust and smoke: "It's the banner of Long Wuwei from Yingzhou. How could Long Wuwei arrive at this time? Even if the baggage is heavy, it won't take more than a month, right?" "
Liu Mingzhi snatched the telescope from Song Qing's hand and looked at Long Wuwei's army. It was roughly estimated that there were as many as 130,000 people.
Ten thousand people are boundless, and a hundred thousand people block the sun for two days. It took half a stick of incense to make Liu Mingzhi clearly observe all the situations of the entire army.
"Long Wuwei encountered the enemy, and there were wounded people on the auxiliary vehicles driving behind!"
"Encountered an enemy? Impossible. Could it be that the enemy armies of the Western Regions have divided their forces?"
"We can't make any conclusions now, the situation doesn't seem so good!"
"Look in the direction of the enemy camp!"
Liu Mingzhi hurriedly turned his telescope toward the enemy camp, and saw countless figures pouring out of the camp toward the southeast of Ganzhou City.
"No, Long Wuwei's reinforcements were discovered by enemy scouts. Let's go and notify them!"
Song and Qing did not hesitate to get on their horses and rush towards Longwuwei's advancing army Juechen!
"The troops are divided into two groups. You will inform General Dongfang Ming in Ganzhou City, and I will inform the soldiers of Longwuwei? Let them prepare to meet the enemy and prevent the enemy from waiting for work!"
"Yes, be careful, we don't know how many enemy troops are coming out!"
"I know, tell General Dongfang to immediately send 20,000 cavalry from the east gate to support the Longwu Guards if the situation goes wrong. They must be physically and mentally exhausted from coming all the way, and they may not be able to stop the enemy in the Western Region!"
"knew!"
Song Qing's voice reached Liu Mingzhi's ears, and the men and horses were already a hundred meters away.
Song Qing also knew that the situation was urgent and directly gathered his inner strength to roar.
"General Ke, General Xiong, and General Cheng are all galloping toward us from Ganzhou City."
"Report, 40,000 cavalrymen came out from the enemy camp and rushed towards the army!"
"Report, the enemy has approached Ganzhou City and will attack us soon!"
"Report, the enemy has detoured back to the west of Ganzhou City!"
Ke Yan immediately raised the command flag in his hand: "There is no time to enter the city. Send an order to the three armies to form a formation to meet the enemy! The elite soldiers are in front, and the new soldiers are behind, in formation!"
Xiong Kaishan, Cheng Kai and Cheng Kai waved their flags at the army behind them without hesitation and shouted: "Form up! The enemy troops are all cavalry, with sword and shield soldiers in formation, pikemen to assist, and archers to prepare!"
The elite momentum of the frontier army, which had experienced hundreds of battles, was immediately revealed. After hearing the order, hundreds of thousands of people immediately followed their commanders to form a formation.
Eight-oxen crossbows were carried from the ox cart and lined up in a row. In a few breaths, 1,500 eight-oxen crossbows were lined up in an arc to protect the army.
The squeaking sound of the winch not only does not make people feel irritated, but also makes people excited!
The sword and shield soldiers put their shields on the ground, and the horizontal swords in their hands began to hit the shields, making a blood-curdling sound. At the same time, the archers had already begun to bend their bows and set arrows in a semicircle, waiting for the enemy. Start shooting arrows as soon as you arrive.
The 20,000 cavalrymen have already loaded the crossbows on their backs, and the horizontal swords on their waists have also been unsheathed for about two fingers and three inches. This is to prevent the scabbard from having problems and causing death in the hands of the enemy in the event of a charge!
The auxiliary soldiers began to clean up their vehicles to make room for the 80,000 main battle army. In just two cups of tea, the 80,000 army had already formed a real formation and was waiting.
It doesn't look like an army that has traveled a long distance!
"Stop and tell me your name! Archers are ready!"
The one hundred soldiers behind Ke Yan immediately pointed their hand crossbows at Liu Mingzhi, ready to fire arrows at any time!
"The Marquis of Wanhu, Liu Mingzhi, is here to supervise the battle!"
"Put down the crossbow!"
A guard wearing personal armor next to Ke Yan trembled and lowered his head when he saw the sound of Young Master Liu galloping towards him.
"Master Liu, why are you here?"
"Huh..." Mr. Liu tightened his horse's reins and looked at the Longwuwei army who had already arranged their troops. He couldn't help but marvel at the eliteness of the frontier troops!
The two troops he brought out to suppress the bandits seemed to him to be very good, but they were still insufficient compared to the army in front of him!
"His Majesty has ordered us to come to Suzhou, Ganzhou to supervise the battle. The enemy Ma San is approaching. It's too late to reminisce about old times. Prepare to meet the enemy!"
Ke Yan nodded calmly: "Xiao Jin, protect Master Liu's safety!"
Liu Mingzhi felt the ground tremble and knew that this was the shock caused by the cavalry's attack.
Ke Yan waved the command flag in his hand: "Arrow formation ready!"
