Liu Mo walked out of the camp and saw Zhao Da running from the fog, fully armed, riding on a horse, wearing a half-helmet that had been beaten hard.
"What happened?" Liu Mo asked.
"The Hu army took the lead," Zhao Da replied. "They took advantage of the darkness and went south along the road, less than a mile north of us, and the entire army formed a battle formation."
"knew!"
By the time he was dressed, the attendants had arranged his armor.
Put on the armor, mount the war horse, then turn the horse's head and gallop away.
Behind him, his men quickly began to break camp. The morning sun rises from the horizon, and reddish fingers stretch out from the east. The sky to the west is deep purple with a few stars.
Bugles sounded in the distance, low and plaintive, making people shudder in their souls.
When Liu Mo led the army to set off, the mist lingering in the air was gradually being evaporated by the rising sun. The leftover grass eaten by the horses was covered with dew, as if a god happened to pass by and sprinkled a whole bag of diamonds.
' Along the way, Liu Mo heard the galloping hooves of horses, the splashing of shallow water by iron boots, the dull sound of swords chopping oak shields, the friction of steel colliding, the whistling of bows and arrows, the thunder of war drums, and the simultaneous screams of a thousand horses.
Soon after, we arrived at our destination.
In the early morning light, Liang Ding's army was like a slowly blooming steel rose, with gleaming spikes.
The Chinese army was commanded by Liang Ding himself, who had raised flags on the avenue.
The archers lined up in three rows, separated the road from east to west, and calmly adjusted the bow strings, with arrows swinging at their waists. The pikemen stood in a phalanx formation among the archers, and behind them were rows of infantry armed with spears, swords and axes.
The right wing is all cavalry, with a total of about 32,000 men and heavy armor. More than three-quarters of the cavalry gathered here, like a giant steel fist.
Liu Mo saw the flag officer unfurling the flag, and the patterns were immediately revealed: they were all flags he had never seen before.
Not long after, Liu Mo could hear the enemy's rumble of war drums.
The last time I saw the Hu people was in Rongcheng.
At that time, the Hu tribe, led by Gao Qi, was massacring the members of the Salt Gang.
If I remember correctly, some of the Hu warriors knew how to train wolves!
He remembered that the tamed wolves of the Hu tribe would attack from the darkness, and suddenly Liu Mo seemed to see them roaring and rushing towards him, grinning with sharp teeth.
Will we encounter Hu troops with wolves this time? This thought made him very uneasy!
After a long march all night long, the Hu army must be exhausted at this moment.
Liu Mo didn't understand what their plan was. Did they want to take advantage of us while we were asleep?
Such an opportunity is really small. Leaving aside other aspects, Liang Ding is not a fool and cannot take any precautions against this.
The forward troops assembled on the left. First up is Liang Ding's eldest son. He is under the flag, riding a tall horse.
Zhu Min glanced at him and said with a smile: "Brother Liu Xian, after the fight starts, pay attention to this guy's movements!"
Liu Mo glanced at Zhu Min meaningfully, "I understand!"
If Liang Ding's eldest son makes any attempt to escape, Liu Mo will naturally escape with him!
He still has this kind of defensiveness!
The equipment of Liang Ding's eldest son is not gorgeous at all: his sword is a two-handed giant sword. At this moment, he was poking his finger with the tip of his sword, ordering everyone to take their places. "Whoever dares to escape, I will kill him with my own hands!"
He roared and turned around to see Liu Mo. "Master Liu, leave the left wing to me!"
As long as the leftmost left wing of the Zuo Army is held here, the Hu army will not be able to outflank it from the side.
"Well, don't get jealous!" Liu Mo reminded.
The other party just smiled and did not speak.
Liu Mo rode in a circle and inspected the battlefield. The surrounding land was rugged: slippery and muddy, rising gently uphill toward the King's Road, and then to the east into rocky, broken terrain.
There are some trees dotting the hills, but most of the trees here have been cut down.
He listened to the war drums, his heart pounding in time with the rhythm in his chest.
Zhu Min rode his horse up and down the battle line, shouting and gesticulating.
"Damn Hu people, come and die!" Liu Mo muttered silently.
The drum sound is getting closer and closer, dong dong dong dong!
Liu Mo pulled out his long sword, and in an instant, the enemy appeared in front, emerging from the top of the hills all over the mountains and plains.
Inadvertently, Liu Mo seemed to hear a strange sound.
"Ohh Ohh ohh!"
This is a wolf howling! Liu Mo realized.
The sound of the wolf's howl seemed to penetrate Liu Mo straight through, and he found himself trembling all over. It was a terrifying sound, a terrible sound, but there was a rhythm in it.
Even Liu Mo was frightened, let alone other Daxia soldiers.
Many were shaking and breathing rapidly.
"Cheer up!" Zhu Min shouted, "They are just a bunch of beasts!"
"Yes, just a bunch of beasts!" Liu Mo shouted, also trying to cheer him up.
By the time he reacted, the wolves of the Hu tribe had already rushed in front of him.
The wolves domesticated by the Hu people are huge and strong, almost the size of a pony.
Their legs are very long compared to their body proportions, their heads are much larger than ordinary wolves, their muzzles are very long, and their scarlet eyes make people shudder.
"Archer, shoot the arrow!!" Liu Mo roared angrily.
War drums thundered, bows and arrows roared.
A hail of arrows struck, and many Hu tribe wolves fell to the ground.
However, these beasts are not afraid at all, and the death of their companions makes them even more excited!
"Ah..." There was a scream, and the Daxia warriors in the front row were already fighting hand-to-hand with the wolves.
Then Liu Mo heard the roar of a vicious wolf, its sharp teeth tearing at pieces of flesh, and the men and horses let out painful wails filled with fear.
Before this, Daxia warriors had never fought against wolves, and they were wolves specially trained to fight.
In front of the wolves, the war horses became a burden.
Under the influence of bloodline suppression, 90% of the horses lost their minds.
They jumped uneasily, knocking off the Daxia soldiers on their backs.
Some were so frightened that they turned around and fled the battlefield.
"Dismount, all dismount!" Liu Mo quickly ordered, "Formation, formation! The infantry with shields come forward, and the spearmen come second!"
Daxia soldiers quickly gathered and formed a defensive formation.
Taking a closer look, the Daxia warrior at the front was bitten to pieces by the wolves.
"Leave them alone and maintain the formation!" Zhu Min ordered.
There is no way, if you leave the formation at this moment, you will only be torn apart by the wolves!
Less than a moment later, hundreds of Daxia soldiers were torn to pieces by the wolves.
War is so cruel!
"Hold still, if the wolves come, shoot them with spears!" Liu Mo shouted.
However, what he didn't expect was that after slaughtering nearly a thousand Daxia soldiers, these beasts suddenly stopped.
They stood together, showing their blood-red teeth, and roared with power!
"This is..." Liu Mo suddenly felt bad.
The next second, a deafening sound of horse hooves came, and Liu Mo broke into a cold sweat, "No!"
