The rumble of war drums suddenly sounded outside the north gate of the capital.
More than 200,000 active soldiers quickly began to return to their square formations under the leadership of the captain. After putting on their armor, they immediately got on their horses and waited for the commander's orders.
The time between before and after is only the effort of two cups of tea. It is the effort of these two cups of tea that shows what it means to be an elite teacher.
Liu Mingzhi has never deliberately trained them. The reason why they can have such a command and prohibition is completely accumulated bit by bit in actual combat.
After experiencing battle after battle outside the pass, they increasingly understood the importance of speed in fighting. Only by preparing for war one step ahead of the enemy could they gain the upper hand in the ensuing fight.
The sound of war drums continued. Not only did Liu Mingzhi's troops outside the city begin to prepare for war, but the rebels on the city wall were also alerted.
Although they were annoyed that Young Master Liu was attacking the city so early and preventing others from having a peaceful sleep, they also knew that life was more important than sleep.
Under the leadership of the generals from all parties, they quickly occupied favorable positions on the city wall to guard against the enemy's attack.
The words of the rebel general indicated that they were under a lot of pressure.
The army outside the city was not an ordinary army. It was led by Liu Mingzhi, the white-robed Confucian commander of Duke Dingguo.
I don’t need to say more about his name. Since entering the DPRK, he has rarely suffered defeats in the south and north, so you must be fully prepared to face his attack.
The soldiers and horses under his command are not ordinary soldiers and horses, they are 200,000 elite troops who survived bloody battles from outside the pass.
If you don't want to lose your head, just let me kill the enemy with all my strength. They are all cavalry, and no matter how powerful the horse is, they can't jump on the city wall.
As long as you take advantage of the city wall, you may be the first to cause Liu Mingzhi to suffer defeat. When the time comes, you will be famous all over the world and respected by future generations.
The rebel general drew his sword and pointed towards the camp outside the city.
"Kill the enemy bravely, and the prince will not begrudge the reward."
"As long as Liu Mingzhi is defeated, gold, silver, jewelry, high-ranking officials and generous salaries will all be available to him."
"Kill the enemy and achieve meritorious service."
"Kill the enemy!"
"Kill the enemy!"
"Kill the enemy!"
Encouraged by the generals, heroic shouts soaring into the sky erupted from the city walls.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the situation on the city wall with a solemn expression. Sometimes he had to admit that Li Zheng's genes were really good.
Although Li Yunlong is a rebel, his talents cannot be denied just because of his notoriety.
To be fair, at least in some aspects, Li Baiyu is still slightly inferior to Li Yunlong.
Especially Li Yunlong is ruthless and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
He doesn't care whether the means are aboveboard or whether they are criticized. What Li Yunlong cares about is the results. As long as the results are successful, everything is worth it in Li Yunlong's eyes.
Staring at the highly motivated rebels on the city wall, Liu Mingzhi lowered his head in silence and began to think.
The rebel generals on the city wall did not want to put pressure on the soldiers, but they had to do so because of Liu Mingzhi's reputation, especially because this was the order the generals received from Li Yunlong.
This is what Li Yunlong means. Pressure can sometimes turn into motivation.
The more pressure you apply, the stronger the rebound will be, which may have unexpected effects.
Facts have proved that Li Yunlong succeeded.
The rebels became highly morale from the initial slight panic. Under Li Yunlong's hard and soft tactics, the rebels were both stressed and full of fighting spirit.
It would be difficult to defeat Liu Mingzhi, a victorious general, without becoming famous all over the world.
Han Zhong jogged and stopped in front of Young Master Liu. Under Liu Mingzhi's instructions, Han Zhong also put on a light armor. After all, it was against military regulations to not wear armor in the army.
"Young...Commander, a total of 300 artillery pieces have been arranged about 250 steps outside the city. The shells have been loaded and can be fired at any time to attack the city."
Liu Mingzhi took out his telescope and looked forward. He saw three hundred trap doors spread out in a row outside the city wall, filled with soldiers holding torches.
These soldiers were all skilled gunners brought back by Han Zhong from the East China Sea.
The three hundred artillery pieces are divided into four categories, some are large and some are small, some are long and some are short, with different shapes. The only difference is that they all look much lighter than the previous artillery pieces.
Liu Mingzhi gently put down the telescope in his hand and looked at Han Zhong.
"The range will not exceed the distance, and it will hit the houses and accidentally injure the people, right?"
Han Zhong nodded solemnly: "Commander, each of these gunner brothers has destroyed at least ten artillery pieces in the East China Sea. They have a good idea of the impact point and distance of the cannonballs."
"It's not a humble boast. They say they are second in artillery. No one in the world dares to say that they are number one in artillery."
Liu Mingzhi nodded silently and waved to Jiang Lei who was not far away.
"Jiang Lei, come here!"
"yes!"
Jiang Lei trotted over: "Commander, what are your orders?"
Young Master Liu pointed towards the position of the artillery: "Go to the artillery square to supervise the battle. If there is anything wrong, tell me. If you are a better fighter than you, please humbly ask for advice and learn from it."
"yes!"
After Jiang Lei left, Young Master Liu looked at Han Zhong, who had a calm expression on his side.
"You won't mind!"
Han Zhong chuckled and shook his head: "No, didn't the young master say that, be modest!"
"It's okay if you don't know. It's not that I can't trust them. It's just that it's their first time on the battlefield. Being able to shoot well doesn't necessarily mean that you can adapt to the situation."
"Enough people have died. If you can save one more life, save one more life."
"Jiang Lei has been with me for many years. He is one of my first disciples. He is very capable. We are all brothers and we must help each other."
"That's what the commander said."
After the three rounds were fired, Liu Mingzhi's expression condensed and he looked towards the soldiers of the three armies behind him.
Young Master Liu's order just now was that if anyone fails to arrive after three rounds of drumming, he will be dealt with according to military law.
The result made Liu Mingzhi very satisfied. The nearly 250,000 troops formed dozens of square formations, and the noise of the gathering stone was completely silenced with the sound of drums.
In the entire wilderness, except for the sound of the cold wind and the occasional sneezing of the war horses, no movement could be heard.
Liu Mingzhi took the command flag from the guard's hand, got on his horse and ran towards the army's formation.
"brothers!"
"exist!"
Young Master Liu shouted a dozen sentences with a fierce look on his face: "What is your mission?"
Make sure that all the more than 200,000 brothers can hear it.
"Defend our country."
"Do you want to get promoted and make a fortune?"
"think!"
"You are so honest!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Marshal."
"Brothers, follow in the footsteps of your captains. They all have experience in combined infantry and artillery sieges in the southern border of the Kingdom of Jin. In a word, they must both kill the enemy and save their lives."
"Your lives are precious. I don't want to see you die in battle. I don't want to see each of your brothers off. I just want to take you home. Dalong's new army!"
"mighty!"
"The handsome man is mighty!"
"Brothers are mighty!"
"The handsome man is mighty."
Liu Mingzhi made a circuitous turn, pulled the reins of his horse, stopped, and waved the command flag in his hand.
"Raise the four drums and attack the city!"
The sound of war drums once again pierced the sky and soared into the sky.
More than 200,000 soldiers, except for the captain who delivered the order, all took out a wooden stick from their waists and bit it in their mouths.
The horse has its feet bound and the person has a title.
After biting the wooden sticks, the soldiers drew their swords one after another and rode towards the capital in response to the drumbeat.
Compared to the deafening shouts of killing on the city wall, the silence of the 200,000-strong army was a bit scary and a bit chilling.
Although there was no cry of killing, the smell of killing under the calm was still three points higher than above the city wall.
"fire!"
PS: The name Li Yunlong is just a coincidence. The author has no rhythm and no intention to make fun of it. I hope everyone will not take it for granted!
