Murong Chui led 50,000 Xianbei iron cavalry to the city. The two armies faced each other. Xu Zongwen rode out. Murong Chui, despite everyone's dissuasion, resolutely rode forward.
After some false greetings, the two coaches returned to their respective formations, and the war officially began!
The Yan army held a black flag and the Jin army held a red flag. After Xu Zongwen and Murong Chui exchanged pleasantries, they broke up unhappy and a war was about to begin.
On both the Jin and Yan sides, the cowhide war drums were loud as thunder, and the Yan army's Xianbei elite cavalry came rushing in under the command of Murong Feng.
According to Murong Chui's instructions, his nephew and general Jiance Murong Feng was appointed as the vanguard officer, responsible for the frontal assault on the Queyue Formation of the Jin army.
Murong De, the sixteenth younger brother and general of cavalry, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the former army, responsible for frontal cover-up and dispatching of the Jin army's cavalry.
Finally, Murong Chui led his third son, the chief commander of the Chinese army, Murong Nong, his fifth son Murong Long, and his two nephews Murong Kai and Murong Shao (both sons of Murong Ke) to command the entire army and attack the main force of the Jin army led by Xu Zongwen.
Murong Feng's Xianbei warriors were all skilled in riding bows and horses. They stretched their bows and fired arrows on their horses. A rain of arrows fell from the sky. Under the command of Shen Yu, the Jin army had already raised its double fox shields in a leisurely manner. The Jin army's Queyue Formation Few people were injured.
The arrow rain was so dense that there was no gap in sight. Murong Chui kept praising his Xianbei knights. When the arrow rain passed, not a single scream was heard among the Jin army, and not a single sergeant was injured or killed. Murong Chui was furious. His beard was standing up, and his feelings were just for himself!
Murong Feng was also very surprised by the defensive ability of the Jin army. So many arrow clusters only tickled the Jin army!
The Jin army was ready, and the hoofbeats of the Xianbei cavalry were deafening, and the soles of everyone's feet were shaking.
Even so, no one has the idea of escape! Because the sergeants believe that with General Xu Zongwen behind them, no matter what kind of enemy is ahead, they will not be their opponent!
The Knight Cavalry is always a strong and iron-blooded army that never flinches and is never afraid of the enemy. It is a victorious army that can win every battle!
"Brothers, kill all the Xianbei people!"
"Drive out the barbarians and restore China!"
Xu Zongwen drew his sword and pointed straight ahead, and the soldiers shouted in unison: "Drive out the barbarians and restore China!"
"Drive out the barbarians and restore China!"
"Drive out the barbarians and restore China!"
…
Xu Zongwen's earliest proposal of expelling the barbarians, restoring China, establishing an outline and establishing discipline, and rescuing the people has become the slogan of the Eastern Route Army of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Jin Army, not to mention the heroic cavalry army of Xu Zongwen's department, which is familiar to everyone. They all talk.
After being encouraged by Xu Zongwen, the morale of the Jin army greatly increased. On the contrary, the Xianbei elite cavalry who were charging at the Yan army heard the Jin army's chant for the first time, and their heads were buzzing and a little blurry!
King Murong Chui of Yan joined the army and Zhao Qiu felt a chill in his heart and thought to himself: Not good! It seems that this Jin army is not so easy to deal with!
Murong Chui naturally noticed something strange. He looked around and asked the people around him who had good ears what Jin Jun was shouting.
Nephew Murong Shao stepped forward and replied: "Reporting to Uncle Wang, the Jin army seems to be shouting to drive out the barbarians, restore China, establish principles and discipline, and save the people."
"A good one drives out the barbarians, a good one restores China, the one on the left establishes the rule of law, and the one on the right rescues the people. With such a slogan that gathers people's hearts, no wonder the Qin army met with this Xu Xiao and suffered a disastrous defeat, ending in a dismal outcome. All the famous generals like Mao Dang died in his hands!"
"It is true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead."
Murong Chui kept praising Xu Zongwen, which made all the Yan army generals look at each other, not understanding what Murong Chui meant.
In the direction of Queyue Formation, Shen Yu was commanding the Gongnu Camp, calculating the distance to the Yan Army cavalry and Li Tou, the Centurion of the Gongnu Camp.
"Five hundred steps."
"Fire the Wanjun Divine Crossbow!"
Four people were operating a Wanjun Divine Crossbow, but behind the Moon Formation, on the ship guarded by Pei Qing and Xi Jian, the sergeants saw the command flag signaling, and the lead string of the Seventy Wanjun Divine Crossbow was immediately cut off.
"咻咻咻..." Seventy rounds of the nine-foot-long Wanjun Divine Crossbow were launched from the deck of the building, and shot into the Yan army cavalry. The Xianbei cavalry who were running rapidly were hit by the Wanjun God. The arrow of the crossbow shot from the head and penetrated directly into the back of the war horse, killing both the man and the horse!
The battlefield was filled with the screams of war horses and the cries of Xianbei people. The intensity of the battle far exceeded Shuangfa's expectations!
After the mother arrow carried by the Wanjun Divine Crossbow was launched, the sub-arrows quickly fell off automatically while still flying in the air, dispersed and shot into the Yan Army cavalry formation, killing dozens of brave and capable Xianbei knights in a short time!
"Come on and kill all the Han people!"
"Ho, ho, ho..."
The sergeants operating the Wanjun Divine Crossbow were still twisting the strings and installing arrow clusters. Taking advantage of this gap, Murong Feng, who was suffocating in his chest, ordered the cavalry to speed up the charge. He believed that as long as he broke through the Jin army's formation, the Han people's small arms and legs would not be enough. They cut it with machetes!
Old Li squinted his eyes and suddenly stared: "Captain, two hundred steps!"
"Repeating crossbow, fire!" Shen Yu commanded calmly.
The messenger waved the command flag again, and all the repeating crossbows of Queyue Formation, including various other types of crossbow arrows, were fired at the Yan Army's cavalry phalanx for free!
Unlike the rain of arrows fired by the Yan army, the Jin army's crossbows were more advantageous and had a wider strike range.
Moreover, in order to charge faster, everyone in the Yan army did not wear iron armor, but mainly wore leather armor. The crossbow arrows were fired with perfect accuracy, and thousands of Xianbei knights fell down with their horses and men in one time...
The Yan Army's cavalry square formation was filled with dust and misery.
On the other hand, the morale of the Jin army was high, and everyone was looking forward to close combat.
Soon, the Jin army's crossbows ran out of arrows, and they saw the Yan army's cavalry roaring forward, and were about to touch the outermost edge of the Jin army's Queyue formation!
"Come over and crush the Han people into powder!"
Iron hooves formed in waves, smoke filled the sky, and after paying a painful price of three thousand people, Murong Feng gritted her teeth and rushed over with full anger.
Little did they know, there was still one more hurdle they had to pass before they were about to arrive at Queyue Formation!
The Xianbei knights who bore the brunt fell into the traps dug by the Jin army one after another, and ended up with both men and horses pierced through their bodies by sharp bamboo blades!
"The damn Han people are more cunning than the foxes on the grassland. I will never let you go easily!" Murong Feng looked at the Xianbei knights who fell into the trap, and felt a wave of heartache in his chest!
Not only Murong Feng felt distressed, but Murong Chui in the rear also had a great change in the strength of the Jin army after personally witnessing the powerful crossbow strikes of the Jin army. Although the generals of the Yan army stood on their horses, they all looked at the rain of arrows in the sky. , all of them were trembling and dared not speak out!
Xu Zongwen's eyes drooped and he waved his hand.
Shen Yu on the side understood. Taking advantage of the Yan army's cavalry phalanx's front team's attack being frustrated and falling into temporary panic, he immediately ordered the outermost pikemen to replace them with long and sharp bamboos. These bamboos were all three feet long and needed The two sergeants held their hands to resist the Yan army cavalry, which was enough to alleviate the powerful impact of the Xianbei knights and horses on Queyue Formation.
