…
On the third day of March, the battlefield of Lucheng.
The 180,000-strong army stretched the narrow front extremely long, and they had only one goal.
Conquer Lu City!
However, even with such a powerful force, Zhang Gui's face never showed any joy, instead he was confused about the future.
"General Zhang, everything is ready, please give the order!" Lieutenant General Gu Ertai came to report.
Zhang Gui held the command flag in his hand, but he still didn't raise it and wave it. His mind was always thinking about any possible accidents caused by negligence.
After a long time, he suddenly said: "Order the sentry to investigate again!"
Gu Ertai was stunned: "General Zhang, from last night to this morning, he has inspected the enemy camp more than ten times..."
"Explore again!"
Zhang Gui's words cannot be doubted. Even though he knew that this attack would pay a heavy price, he still tried every means to minimize the loss.
"yes!"
Guertai had no choice but to take the order and leave.
At the same time, in the direction of Lucheng.
After learning that the main force of the Jin army was all out, Yue Shaomu already understood that Lu Ziming and his men had cut off water transportation in the south and successfully joined forces with the navy, and he was naturally relieved.
The victory or defeat at this time was no longer important. Yue Shaomu relied on a very small number of troops to contain the main force of the Jin army. If the southern river food route was lost, the Jin capital would be in chaos. The Jin army was at the end of its war effort. He planned to use himself as bait. It was also successfully completed.
But before that, he had to do one more thing.
"Have the people of Lucheng been evacuated?"
When Sun Zhong heard this, he immediately showed a troubled expression on his face: "General Qibing Yue, the people of Lucheng have promised to live and die with the general, and swear to the death that they are unwilling to leave."
Yue Shaomu frowned: "Nonsense! The Jin soldiers are brutal. After the city is broken, they will definitely massacre the people to vent their anger. They will only die if they stay here!"
Sun Zhong: "General, I have said everything that needs to be said, but the people say that they have never seen such a benevolent and righteous teacher in their lives. They are willing to support my righteous teacher and jointly defend against powerful enemies."
Yue Shaomu felt sad in his heart: "In this war, we are an outside force, but we are trusted by the people without thinking. It is really ridiculous to think about it."
Sun Zhong: "General, this shows that we are teachers of benevolence and righteousness, so..."
Yue Shaomu stopped him from continuing: "Okay, take me to meet the people, and let them leave Lucheng no matter what. Staying here will only lead to death."
…
"General, we won't leave! We won't leave even if we die!"
"Needless to say, General, we all remember how well you treated us. Besides, this is our home, how can we let those gold thieves take over!"
"General, just leave us alone and just worry about fighting! We don't have any other skills. We still have menial jobs like cooking and washing!"
Yue Shaomu persuaded the people, but the people in the city were unwilling to leave, and all supported Yue Shaomu to start a decisive battle with the Jin soldiers.
Yue Shaomu sighed softly, no matter how much he tried to persuade him, he could only retreat and say: "Thanks to the care of all my neighbors, our Han army was able to confront the Jin soldiers for such a long time.
Since everyone is unwilling to leave, I will no longer persuade you, but I have only one request. If I am defeated and die in this battle, please do not make enemies of the Jin soldiers.
If they ask for money, just give it to them. The most important thing is to save their own lives, okay? "
The people were silent, and after a long time someone nodded in agreement.
"Woo~~"
At this moment, a dull horn sounded.
The Jin soldiers finally launched an attack.
Yue Shaomu clasped his fists and said: "Everyone, I, the general, take the first step, take care!"
"General Yue, take care!"
"General Yue, take care!"
"General Yue, take care!"
The people all knelt down and watched Yue Shaomu leave the city.
…
"Faster, faster!"
In the southern border, after Gan Ziba took over the source of water and sea transportation, Lu Ziming immediately led his troops northward.
Despite constant urging, it was only three to five days away from Lucheng.
"Damn it, this is still too slow, what if General Yue does something bad!"
Xu Sheng said uneasily.
Lu Ziming: "That's enough. Let's stop saying a few words and think of a way to speed up the journey?"
Zhu Heng: "It seems there is only one way, attack the nearby stables, seize the horses and gallop!"
Lu Ziming: "Okay, quickly order people to check if there are stables around, and the other soldiers will rest for half an hour before going on their way!"
…
"Drink~"
"Drink~"
"Drink~"
On the battlefield of Lucheng, five thousand armored vanguards held heavy square shields and shouted loud slogans. They formed a battle formation and dispersed left and right, approaching the Han army's defense line step by step.
Yue Shaomu used a looking glass to pay close attention to the enemy's movements, and soon noticed their intentions.
"The enemy is planning to attack by force. They will approach with soldiers first, and then the entire army will follow. Once they enter the designated area, they will swarm up and break through our defense line."
Putting away the looking glass, Yue Shaomu closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then his face became more serious.
"Such a frontal attack puts great pressure on our army, but..."
His eyes shot open.
"Zhang Gui neglected something."
The vanguard of the five thousand gold soldiers has already entered the range of 300 steps, which is the longest range of the flash cap gun.
"First in line!"
Beep~
Immediately, the first column of two hundred musketeers stepped forward, stood behind the barbed wire fence, and aimed their cap guns at the enemy formation on the opposite side.
The five thousand vanguards are still advancing, and every soldier has a look of determination on his face.
They knew that they might die in this battle, but they had no fear at all.
Because they are Daikin's most elite troops.
Ruijian camp!
This is your own honor!
"Ha~"
The first Jinbing officer saw that the Han army had not yet launched a counterattack, and he immediately let out a sigh of relief and shouted loudly.
"The whole army speeds up and approaches the enemy's position!"
Behind them, five thousand archers hunched over and followed, just waiting to enter effective shooting range.
"put!"
A sharp copper whistle echoed in the Han army formation.
next moment.
"Bang bang bang bang——"
A series of flames spit out their tongues, and two hundred mini bombs roared towards the enemy.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"
Due to the long distance, this round of salvo had little effect. Sawdust flew from the Ruijianying Pioneer shield, and there were several metal collisions, but no one was seen falling.
The soldiers of Ruijian Camp gritted their teeth, and after confirming that they were still alive, they continued to move forward.
But the next moment...
"call out--"
A sharp and sharp sound echoed.
Suddenly, hundreds of rockets shot up in front of the Han army's formation and rained down on the Ruijian Camp.
The moment it hit the ground, it exploded.
In an instant, the originally neat lineup was immediately torn open.
The moment the gunpowder exploded, the swarms of heavy armored infantry were immediately lifted up by the scorching air waves.
Many soldiers didn't even have time to groan, before their bodies were blown open in two by rockets.
This time the rocket was wrapped with a high explosive - picric acid.
Seeing the Jin army's line being blown apart, Yue Shaomu's expression was unusually calm.
"You underestimated the armament of the Han army!"
Rockets fell one after another, and the five thousand vanguards suddenly suffered heavy casualties.
The shields in their hands and the armor on their bodies were unable to withstand the ravages of technological monsters.
