Wanyan Chizha and the generals in the big tent looked at the scouts who rushed back in panic. Apparently, the scout's words that there were about 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers and horses in the south of Yingzhou City were secretly gathering towards Yingzhou shocked them. Heartbroken.
After all, Wanyan Chizha had experienced many battles and quickly came to his senses and lay down on the map to examine it.
"It's impossible. According to the intelligence, it will take at least half a month for Dalong's new recruits to rush to Yingzhou, and there will be more than 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers!"
"That's strange. Could it be the defenders of Fuzhou?"
"Fuzhou!"
Wanyan Chiezha frowned and looked at all the passages between Yingzhou and Fuzhou. Finally, Wanyan Chiezha tapped his fingers in front of the two cities.
"If nothing unexpected happens, these soldiers and horses are most likely from the Fuzhou garrison."
Yelv Mo, Chi Cha and other generals looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
"Commander, according to estimates, the number of soldiers and horses in Fuzhou is only 30,000 or 40,000 at most. With so many soldiers and horses suddenly coming to support Yingzhou, doesn't Fuzhou have no soldiers to defend now?"
"Aren't Liu Mingzhi and Zhang Kuang worried about us detaching a group of troops to raid Fuzhou? No matter which of the three eastern cities in Northern Xinjiang is captured first, it seems the same to us!"
Wanyan Chizha fell silent, gently rubbing his forehead with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"No, please quickly send an order to the soldiers of the three armies to step up their defenses. Dalong's troops are about to switch from defense to attack. Go and send the message..."
"Rumble........."
The thick sound of war drums on the Yingzhou City Wall interrupted Wanyan Chizha's orders. Following the sound of the war drums, a burst of killing sounds could be heard inside and outside Yingzhou City.
Wanyan Chizha subconsciously glanced at the location of Yingzhou City, picked up his helmet and ran towards the outside of the tent. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a group of generals who were still stunned and shouted harshly.
"Don't be in a daze. Get to your positions and immediately lead the soldiers into a defensive formation. The dragon troops are coming."
A group of generals were awakened by Wanyan's scolding, and hurriedly picked up the weapons on the disarming racks and ran towards the outside of the tent. They really couldn't figure out how the few remaining main battle troops in Yingzhou dared to Take the initiative to go out of the city and fight.
Wanyan Chizha and the others' actions were not unpleasant, and then all the soldiers and horses in Jin Kingdom's camp were at a loss when faced with the menacing and sudden attack of soldiers and horses.
They were also elites. After being stunned for a moment, they reacted and picked up their weapons and formed a defensive formation.
However, all the generals were summoned by Wanyan Chizha to the Chinese army's tent to discuss matters. Although the leaderless Jin Kingdom's former army set up a defensive formation based on instinct, no one directed them to counterattack, so they could only passively take the beating.
Liu Mingzhi wanted this result. Since the Jin army realized that he had few troops and did not dare to take the initiative to attack, he decided to make a dangerous move and suddenly went out of the city to kill them off guard.
By the time all the generals arrived, a huge chaos had begun outside Yingzhou City.
The Jin army without a general under its command was defeated steadily by the three guards who suddenly came out, and the defense line kept shrinking back.
Although the Jin Kingdom's front army kept retreating, it can be seen that their reputation as an elite division was not in vain.
Although the defense line gradually shrank, their formation did not scatter, let alone be defeated by Long Wuwei.
The horse-killing sword in Zhang Kuang's hand was played with great force, all of which were sharp and fatal moves. At least one Jinguo sword and shield soldier was killed on the spot with each blow.
"Brothers, let out all the cowardice you have been feeling for the past eighteen days and follow me in the charge!"
With the crazy encouragement, the momentum of Long Wuwei behind him suddenly increased by three points, and his eyes were red and feverish as he charged towards the sword and shield soldiers of the front army.
Suddenly, the complete formation of the Jin Kingdom's former saber and shield soldiers was in danger of being punched out.
On the other hand, the situation of the two cavalry guards of the Jin Kingdom in the west and east of the city was also not good, especially the black wolf cavalry on the left and right who had always been on a par with the trapped warriors. They suffered a huge loss in the face of the heavy cavalry commanded by Key Yan.
If it's just heavy cavalry, Black Wolf Cavalry can be said to have no fear at all. After all, although heavy cavalry is powerful, it is also the most physically demanding unit. As long as Black Wolf Cavalry surrounds and does not rush, it can kill the five thousand heavy cavalry under Ke Yan's command. Lie down from exhaustion.
However, more than 30,000 soldiers on both sides charged in a roundabout way, squeezing the phalanx of the black wolf cavalry who kept looking at the heavy cavalry.
In the eyes of the heavy cavalry, the light cavalry who cannot attack are obvious military exploits.
There was a heavy cavalry charge in the middle, and light cavalry on both sides. The Black Wolf Cavalry's space for movement was squeezed out bit by bit.
"Everyone listens to the order, the northwest force of the dragon cavalry is the weakest, charge in a triangle, open the gap and rush out of the encirclement!"
"Everyone listens to the order and can no longer retreat. The swordsmen and shieldmen take cover, and the archers fight back. There are not many soldiers and horses in the dragon, and they are covered by three consecutive arrow rains!"
"Everyone listens to the order, the soldiers with swords and shields cover, and the archers step forward to cover the cavalry brothers as they rush out of the encirclement, and join forces together."
In the melee, the generals of the Jin Kingdom finally rushed to their positions and quickly waved their command flags and rushed across the bastard battlefield.
After several rounds of back and forth, the army of the Kingdom of Jin gradually launched a counterattack following the orders of the commander-in-chief. The backbone of the army was back. The soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin, who were retreating and shrinking their defense lines, finally gradually stabilized their formation and launched an effective attack in accordance with the general's instructions. counterattacked.
However, within half the time they had just launched their counterattack, the Dalong soldiers and horses, which had suffered casualties, suddenly gave up the charge and rushed toward the west of Yingzhou City in an orderly manner while being suppressed by the rain of arrows.
This move made the Jin army and some generals even more confused as to what the dragon soldiers and horses meant.
They clearly had the upper hand, but in order to suddenly choose to withdraw to the west of the city.
"The commander-in-chief has given orders to stop the pursuit and the entire army to shrink the defense line to prevent fraud!"
The Jin army that was about to pursue stopped after being ordered to do so. The archers drew their bows like a full moon and carefully watched the backs of the enemy troops in case they suddenly came back to fight again.
"Commander, how...how dare they..."
Yelumo glanced at the densely packed corpses lying on the ground around him, and they all trembled. It was obvious that Dalong's sudden charge had caused immeasurable casualties to the Jin Kingdom.
Not only Yelv Mo, but other generals also glanced at the tragic situation around them angrily. In just about half an hour, the number of casualties among our own soldiers was probably more than 20,000.
In the melee involving more than 200,000 people, more than 20,000 people were killed or injured. Only by waiting for others to come out in time could the losses be reduced. Otherwise, the consequences would have been even more unimaginable.
Wanyan Chizha looked around at the corpses of the soldiers on the battlefield, and the hand holding the flag crackled.
The strategy of using Dalong's soldiers and horses in the past few days had already made him uneasy, but he never imagined that Dalong's few remaining soldiers and horses would dare to abandon the defense of the fortified city and take the initiative to fight.
"Hahahaha...Okay...this is the Liu Mingzhi in my impression. He always takes the initiative. This is the Liu Mingzhi in my impression." Mingzhi."
"We can only fight 100,000 elites, but they dare to take the initiative to go out of the city for a head-on confrontation. It's very good!"
"Yelümo!"
"The general is here!"
"Send out thirty scouts to continuously investigate where the Dalong soldiers and horses are stationed!"
"Got the order!"
"Wanyan Changzhong!"
"The humble position is here!"
"Lead the bodyguards to carry out the sand table. Let's reconsider the battle plan. I will make Liu Mingzhi and Zhang Kuang pay for their debt with blood!"
"Got the order!"
In the west of Yingzhou City, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses of Dalong's three guards gathered in the open area outside the city. Liu Mingzhi tightened the reins of his horse, and did not bother to wipe the blood on the Heavenly Sword, and waved directly to Song Qing.
"Quickly, order the brothers to set up the formation quickly. Wanyan Chizha won't leave us much time."
"Got the order!"
"The rest of the soldiers, quickly command your brothers and arrange defense according to the formation!"
"We have the order!"
"Hahaha...My lord, it's so happy. It's so happy. I killed 20,000 enemy troops!"
"What are our losses?"
"Sima is coordinating!"
"Report! Prince Qi, General Qi. According to a rough estimate, we have lost more than 7,000 soldiers, 90% of which are temporary soldiers and auxiliary brothers!"
Zhang Kuang looked at Liu Mingzhi, who was frowning, and sighed softly.
"My lord, look at it carefully. Their experience in battle is insufficient. Their reaction, physical strength, and formation are not as good as the elite divisions. One to three casualties is already a huge victory! If they don't retreat in time, I'm afraid they will suffer even more losses. .”
Liu Mingzhi nodded with a complex expression: "Send the order, the prepared soldiers and horses in the city quickly leave the city and join the army! Then inform the elite brothers that they must take these auxiliary brothers with them, and ask them not to panic or chaos, and follow the change of the formation flags. Defense.”
"After a few battles, they will become proficient themselves. Now that the situation is urgent, they can only train in actual combat!"
"Got the order!"
