Yelv Mo looked at the Songzhou City wall with a gloomy expression.
There was another charge of drums and shouts, but the city gate was still closed, and no enemy troops were seen charging out.
Yeluhu held the riding crop tightly and sighed silently, feeling helpless.
Liu Mingzhi has been famous for many years, but doesn’t he know the truth about the incompetence of a donkey in Guizhou?
After teasing himself again and again, does he think that even though he has a low reputation, he is really a fool?
Recalling the Queen's repeated instructions before the expedition, as well as his father Yeluhu's instructions, Yelv Mo hesitated.
Maybe Liu Mingzhi should have other plans.
Thinking of this, Yelv Mo took a deep breath, held his breath and watched every move on the Songzhou city wall intently to prevent any unexpected changes.
Based on the rumors he heard about Liu Mingzhi from his father's ears, and what he learned about Liu Mingzhi's life experience along the way, he did not believe that Liu Mingzhi would continue to do such useless actions despite knowing that Guizhou's donkey was at his wits' end.
After a few cups of tea, the rumble of drums could be heard again from Songzhou City, and the shouts of killing continued to come from Songzhou City.
The snowflakes were getting a lot bigger, and Yelv Mo could only see the city dimly.
Yeluhu looked around and saw that the gate of Songzhou City was still closed, and no one appeared.
Yelv Mo breathed a sigh of relief, turned his eyes and began to think.
This time the interval between drum sounds seems to be much shorter than the previous times. Is it unintentional or intentional?
Except that the time is much shorter, the drums are still beating, and the shouts of killing are still the same, it seems that nothing much has changed.
wrong.
Yelv Mo suddenly shrank his eyes, his heart tightened, and his hand holding the riding crop suddenly clenched.
The sound of the rush to kill at the North City Gate seems to be much clearer. It is obvious that such clear sounds of killing can only be heard near the city gate.
And you can vaguely hear the shouts coming from the other three city gates. This is something that has not happened in the previous times.
The thought of enemy attack came directly to Yelv Mo's mind.
After so many false and true moments, Liu Mingzhi really planned to launch a charge this time.
Yelv Mo hurriedly raised the command flag in his hand: "Command the soldiers!"
"exist!"
"Immediately send an order to General Humu's rear troops to gather together. Dalong's enemy troops are about to charge us."
"Got the order!"
Yelv Mo drew out his sword, held the horse's rein tightly and pointed towards Songzhou City.
"The whole army is ready for war. Prepare to meet the enemy. Arrange according to the battle formation. Don't cause chaos. The enemy is just one man and one horse. There is nothing to be afraid of."
"Kill the enemy and perform meritorious service, and honor your ancestors."
The sky seems to have sensed this upcoming rare battle. Although there is no sound, the snowflakes in the sky are falling more and more densely.
"Come on!"
"Rumble..."
For the third time, the sound of a killing came from Songzhou City. Unlike the previous times, it was also accompanied by the sound of cannons. Gradually, Yelvmo and the Jin army could clearly feel the trembling of the earth.
They understood that this was the shock caused by the large-scale cavalry attack.
Before he had time to think too much, the sound of thunder exploding suddenly came from the Jin Kingdom army formation, followed by screams.
Many of the snowflakes in the phalanx were blown out of the way by the waves of exploding shells.
Yelv Mo turned around and glanced away. Although there were snowflakes blocking the way, it could still be seen that many phalanxes were hit head-on by artillery shells.
"Send the order, use a phalanx of a hundred people to keep a distance of ten steps to guard against the dragon's artillery fire."
"Got the order!"
Yelv Mo couldn't see where Jiang Lei had arranged the artillery, so he could only order the formation to spread out and increase the distance. The rest could only be left to God's will.
Xue Mu blocked the way, and we could not see Dalong's artillery layout. Dalong's artillery also couldn't figure out the position of its army's formation, which naturally could reduce the casualties of brothers who died under the artillery.
As the deafening sound of cannons rang in their ears, the Jin army clearly felt that the ground under their feet was shaking much stronger. This was because the enemy was gradually approaching.
"Archers, shoot!"
Yelv Mo, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, swung his sword suddenly, and ordered the archers to release arrows.
Waves of arrows shot towards the source of the sound in Xuemuzhong, which made the Jin Kingdom soldiers excited, and bursts of screams came from Xuemuzhong.
"Keep shooting arrows, once you can see the enemy's figure!"
"The shield bearers formed a formation, the spearmen stepped forward to assist, and the cavalry charged on both wings!"
Following Yelumo's order, the Jin army began to change their defensive formations in an orderly manner.
Although they are all new recruits, they are also elite soldiers who have been trained for many years, and they are just short of being tempered by the fire of war.
Cheng Kai and Zhou Baoyu listened to the screams of the brothers around them and hurriedly bent down and hung themselves under the horse's belly.
"Give orders in turn and hang under the horse's belly to avoid the enemy's arrows!"
"The general has ordered you to hang yourself under the horse's belly to avoid the arrows!"
As waves of orders were passed on to each other, the 100,000 cavalry showed off their elite horsemanship skills, waving their swords in one hand, hanging on the side of the horse and continuing to charge towards the Jin Kingdom's army formation.
At the speed of the war horses, the short distance was nothing at all.
Liu Mingzhi took the lead and charged towards the army formation with his Heavenly Sword, without any obstruction from the surrounding guards.
Because they know that the principle of a gentleman not standing behind a dangerous wall has no effect on the commander. The commander pays more attention to leading by example and leading his brothers to charge.
Gradually the target was the cavalry of the Kingdom of Jin. Liu Mingzhi flipped the heavenly sword in his hand and charged from the side to outflank the enemy who was about to outflank him, but he was killed by his own sword.
After Young Master Liu's Heavenly Sword saw blood first, the large group of troops from behind immediately came and met the Jin Kingdom's cavalry head-on and rushed over.
At such a close distance, the impact of the heavy snow is nothing, and the difference between the enemy's and ours' armors can be clearly distinguished.
In a matter of seconds, the wilderness north of Songzhou City was filled with the sounds of fighting.
The hot breath exhaled by hundreds of thousands of people screaming caused the snowflakes to melt into water before they even hit the ground. In less than a stick of incense, the situation on the battlefield became clearer.
The field of vision was clear, and the shortcomings of the Jin cavalry were clearly revealed.
How Liu Mingzhi originally evaluated the 300,000 New Army cavalry was not enough compared to the Turkic cavalry. The scene in the past is now being repeated with the Jin cavalry.
Yelv Mo looked at the countless soldiers who had been killed by the dragon enemy and hurriedly waved the command flag in his hand: "With the help of the archers, we headed towards the phalanx without our cavalry, which was covered with arrows."
"The sword and shield soldiers came forward, the spearmen behind, and the three lines of defense spread out to block the speed of the enemy's horses and curb their advantage."
Following the order, the infantry of the Jin Kingdom army began to form a battle formation under the leadership of the captain and surrounded the Dalong soldiers who were fighting with the Jin Kingdom cavalry.
Liu Mingzhi killed the four encircling Jin cavalry with one sword. Hearing the sound of arrows piercing the air and the wails of the soldiers, he glanced in the direction of the Jin infantry and frowned.
"Instructions were given one after another, and the charge formation spread out to entangle the enemy cavalry and fire crossbows, so that the enemy archers could not be covered by the rain of arrows. Don't be surrounded by Jin's infantry. Attack in a roundabout way, killing the cavalry while flying infantry kites. "
"Call Jiang Lei, look for the right opportunity and fire at me at the Jin infantry phalanx. Don't be stingy with the shells. Hit as many as you can!"
"Got the order!"
As the messengers rushed to deliver the command, the phalanx of Dalong soldiers gradually changed their charge formation, and the small and five groups surrounding the Jin cavalry gradually opened up the distance from the Jin infantry.
The Jin infantry sounded artillery fire again and was bombarded by artillery.
"Report, Commander-in-Chief, our cavalry are all new recruits. Their riding skills and skills are no match for the Grand Dragon Cavalry. Now our brothers have suffered heavy losses and cannot defeat the Grand Dragon's Cavalry. Commander, please think of a solution quickly." !”
Yelv Mo glanced at the sight of his own cavalry being killed one after another by the enemy, with a heartbroken look on his face.
"Send the order to the infantry to set up the Nine Palace Formation. The cavalry will withdraw and merge into the Nine Palaces Shengmen. The infantry and cavalry will coordinate to curb the advantage of the enemy dragon!"
"Got the order!"
