A hundred cartloads of large moso bamboo.
There can be four hundred and five on a carriage.
So Liu Zheng looked a little surprised. How did Zheng Yueru obtain so many large bamboos in such a short period of time? It is estimated that when Zheng Yueru first received the order, she began to use various channels of the Zheng family firm to transmit information.
Although the communication methods of this era are very backward, they have been used very maturely in flying pigeons to pass messages.
A pigeon can fly a distance of five to six hundred kilometers or more than a thousand miles in one day. As a member of the Zheng family, they have business names in almost every state of the Long Yan Dynasty, and they all have flying pigeons to pass on letters.
On the same day, Zheng Yueru passed on the message. A day later, Sichuan and Shu, which are rich in moso bamboo, got the news. The Zheng family there had already begun to spend money to buy moso bamboo. After Zheng Yueru worked hard for seven days, even in On the way, we met more than a hundred carriages.
"Send it down!"
Liu Zheng took a look and found that there were as many as fifty thousand bamboos!
In other words, these moso bamboos can be formed into an army of 50,000 wolves!
The Yinzhou army brought by Liu Zheng this time totals 80,000, and the other 30,000 can be almost entirely matched with spearmen and Mo Dao soldiers.
Fifty thousand wolf warriors...
Liu Zheng looked at the soldiers training in the camp at night, and he had some expectations in his heart. In tomorrow's decisive battle, these soldiers holding big bamboos would leave a profound mark in the history of war in this world. .
…
The next morning.
A melodious bugle sounded.
The Longyan army at Longhu Pass began to assemble and assemble, and the unstoppable bugles indicated that there was bound to be a big battle today. Therefore, no matter it is the army of the Third Prince, King Lu's army, Zheng Yuxing's Liangzhou Army, Chen Ping's Liangzhou Army, Baiya Army, or Yinzhou Army, they dare not slack off today.
Every camp is mobilizing before the war.
For a time, the flags of Longhu Pass were fluttering and the military drums were beating. The total number of soldiers and horses in these camps is 200,000. So it seems that the momentum is still very huge.
This time it can be considered an alliance army.
On the watchtower of Longhu Pass, the generals of each alliance stood.
Prince Xie Fang, dressed in military uniform today, stood in the middle of these people with high spirits. According to their rank, King Lu, Chen Ping, Zheng Yuxing, and Liu Zheng stood separately.
When Xie Fang saw the Yinzhou Army, almost all of them were holding big bamboos in their hands. He couldn't help laughing: "Liu Zhoutong, are your Yinzhou Army here to sweep the floor today?"
As soon as this was said, everyone burst into laughter.
The third prince Xie Ling even shook his head. Everyone was watching the Yinzhou Army's antics today. Many people even wondered whether Liu Zheng was chased off the shelves by Xie Fang yesterday, so he planned to do so today. The broken jar was broken.
King Lu also snorted coldly: "Liu Zhoutong, war is not a child's play! Being passive and lazy in fighting is a serious crime!"
Others echoed.
Zheng Yuxing also sighed and persuaded: "Master Liu, the Yinzhou Army was well-equipped that day, why didn't it use it? This, indeed, is a bit inconsistent with military regulations..."
Could it be that Mr. Liu is really too famous to live up to his reputation?
Everyone was deeply impressed by the Yinzhou Army's divine soldiers descending from the sky that day. Everyone thought he was the savior of this war, but they didn't expect that the decisive battle was about to begin today. You didn't want the sophisticated weapons and equipment, but you came out with a bunch of brooms?
Aren't you making a fuss?
In response to these doubts, Liu Zheng chuckled: "Everyone, I, Liu Zheng, issued a military order in front of the prince. As a vanguard today, the Yinzhou Army will naturally fight to the death!"
"good!"
Xie Fang shouted loudly.
Chen Ping also smiled sinisterly.
Originally, no one had high hopes for today's decisive battle. The Yinzhou Army could be exhausted to the maximum extent. It would be best if Liu Zheng died in this battle, and Chen Ping would have achieved his goal. As for this war?
Haha, yesterday the court had sent King Qin to the battlefield, intending to negotiate with the Xiongnu.
These matters were handed over to the imperial court and had nothing to do with the military or even Liangzhou Prefecture.
Win or lose?
unimportant!
This is what most people here thought.
Of course, except Zheng Yuxing!
This war almost wiped out his reputation. And as a general who has guarded the border for so many years, he also knows that with the defeats one after another, the energy and spirit of the entire Longyan Dynasty military has been lost. If this continues, the dominance of the Longyan Dynasty will be challenged by neighboring countries one after another.
Without military power, how can we talk about being a great nation?
Just at noon.
The war drums of the Xiongnu army also sounded loudly.
The vast army has appeared in the wilderness not far away. More than two hundred thousand! The same is more than 200,000!
The Huns army could not bear it anymore.
When the Xiongnu army goes on an expedition, they are not accustomed to preparing a lot of food and grass. They like to feed the war with war, plunder everywhere, and win the battle quickly. What they were most worried about was a protracted war. On the one hand, their logistics support could not keep up and they could not afford to consume equipment and food. On the other hand, the Huns still had too many internal fights and the situation could change at any time.
same.
They are all eager for a decisive battle.
This decisive battle will mean whether the Longyan Dynasty is forced to negotiate or whether the Huns are defeated and return without success.
Cheng Mu looked at Qingfeng Gorge and Longhu Pass from a distance.
He also knows that as time goes by, this battle will be the real decisive battle.
"Hahahaha, there is no need to worry as a military advisor. Let me, Rogel, be the vanguard this time. I will definitely scare those weak Han people half to death!"
Rogel laughed heartily and looked extremely arrogant on his horse.
The Hun soldiers behind him also shouted, and in the end, their roars were directed at the Western Huns on Ge Erdan's side.
Ge Erdan's face was very dark, and he came back with his brothers to scold him.
Cheng Mu frowned: "That's enough. The war is about to begin, and there is still internal strife. How unworthy is it!"
"snort!"
Rogel was unhappy when Cheng Muzhong scolded him. He kicked the horse's belly with both feet, and the horse under him neighed and ran wildly. Rogel had already reached the front of the field, laughing and shouting: "Weak Han people, how dare you come here?" Fight with me?"
The sound was loud, and the war drums roared behind them to help.
In ancient times, when armies faced each other, there was no shortage of dramas like single combat.
Because this directly affects the morale of the soldiers on both sides.
Unexpectedly, Rogel rode his horse, ran three times, and shouted three times, but no one in Qingfeng Gorge or Longhu Pass dared to answer.
"Bah! With this little ability, you dare to fight against my Huns army?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Coward!"
The Huns army followed and laughed wildly, and their laughter shook the wild.
Prince Xie Fang was furious: "Doesn't anyone from our majestic Longyan Dynasty dare to go to war?"
A group of people looked at each other.
Who dares to go?
This man is Rogel, the top master in the grassland!
Zheng Yuxing frowned. His injuries had not healed in the past few days, so naturally he could not accept the challenge. But there are still many generals with good skills under him.
But before he could speak, Prince Xie Fang looked at Liu Zheng mockingly: "Liu Zhoutong, do you have a suitable candidate? Is there anyone in your army of brooms who has seen the world?"
As soon as this was said, everyone laughed again.
The Yinzhou Army, compared to the troops that had been fighting against the Xiongnu for a long time, was undoubtedly a bunch of new soldiers. It is also well known that there are no famous generals in the Yinzhou army.
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.
This is indeed the shortcoming of the Yinzhou Army.
At present, as far as the generals leading the troops are concerned, the entire Yinzhou Army only has one Jiang Xuan and one Qin Changfeng. But both of them were arranging their troops below. In comparison, Zheng Yuxing, King Lu, the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, and even Chen Ping were all standing around them with several strong and mighty generals. He looked at Liu Zheng with contemptuous eyes.
"Hahahaha, it seems there is no more!"
Prince Xie Fang felt extremely relieved when he saw Liu Zheng's expression.
Who allowed this guy to steal his limelight three days ago?
He turned his head and said proudly: "Does anyone from our Prince's army dare to fight?"
A general in armor immediately came out: "Your Highness, Wang Shuang is willing to go to battle and behead this barbarian!"
Xie Fang was overjoyed: "It's done!"
Everyone gasped.
This Wang Shuang was the most powerful general under the Crown Prince. He was good at wielding two giant hammers and was extremely powerful. When almost all of the Crown Prince's army was destroyed three days ago, he killed nearly a thousand enemies by himself. He was extremely ferocious. Among the prince's fierce generals, he is undoubtedly the first.
The next moment, the king was seen raising his hammer with both hands, opening the door to fight, his horse galloping and shouting angrily: "You dare to insult our Long Yan soldiers, you must die!"
The war drums of both sides were beating wildly, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers also began to shout overwhelmingly.
Seeing Wang Shuang running towards him, Rogel sneered: "It's up to you, just one hand!"
He is armed with a machete.
The horses from both sides were running towards each other.
Wang Shuang's giant hammer suddenly raised and struck down hard.
Just when the two horses were approaching, Wang Shuang shouted angrily, and the giant hammer was in his hand, and it was indeed like an arm commanding, and it hit with two strong winds.
Long Yan saw this and applauded, feeling that Wang Shuang would be able to capture him easily.
Unexpectedly, Roger showed no fear in the face of Wang Shuang's blow, and even had a mocking smile on his face. The moment before the two giant hammers hit him on the head, he suddenly felt his body on the war horse. After turning around in a circle, everyone was stunned, but the movement was very fast. Just when the two horses were staggering, Roger's movement, which seriously violated the rules of physics, stopped. At this time, His scimitar had already struck Wang Shuang's head.
Steady, accurate and ruthless!
Wang Shuang's head was missing on the spot.
The shouts of Long Yan’s army suddenly stopped.
As the situation waxed and waned, the morale of the Xiongnu army doubled, and the clamor shook the heaven and the earth.
"good!"
"Roger, Rogel!"
"God of War, God of War!"
The cheers were overwhelming, overwhelming the momentum of Long Yan's army.
Looking upstairs, everyone's expressions darkened.
"How can it be!"
"He's not a general of one alliance?"
"This...what can we do!"
The first master in this grassland is really powerful!
Prince Xie Fang shouted angrily: "Who else dares to fight?"
The whole place was silent.
No one answered.
