On the ancient road.
Ning Fan rode the chariot, and Li Ru and Jia Xu rode beside him. On this expedition, he was going on the expedition as the prince. According to the etiquette, the chariot and the five horses rode side by side, and all the specifications were in accordance with the prince's ceremonial guard.
"His Royal Highness, report from the front!"
"Send it up!"
"promise!"
Ning Fan took the letter from the scout and looked at Li Ru and Jia Xu: "Hu Nu's army marched straight in. Peng Ju is currently guarding Yunteng City. Tomorrow morning, Hu Nu's 800,000 army will approach the city."
"Lord!"
Li Ru looked at the far end of the ancient road and said quietly: "Our vanguard army, General Zilong's white-horsed followers and General Ziyun's white-robed army, are working hard to reach Yunteng City early tomorrow morning!"
"The Black Armor Army and the Beggar Army are a little slower. They can arrive at dusk tomorrow at the latest!"
"Hu Nu are mostly cavalry and are not good at attacking cities. If Pengju concentrates his troops to defend a city, he will be safe!"
"When our army arrives, we can cooperate with it inside and outside."
Ning Fan shook his head slightly, handed over the letter in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Pengju is not planning to defend the city, but... to take the wrong approach!"
"Um?"
Li Ru took the letter and glanced at it, then glanced at Ning Fan on the chariot: "My lord, although this plan is dangerous, it is enough to succeed!"
"Wenhe!"
"How much information does Black Ice Platform have about Hu Nu?"
"Reporting to my lord, the forces within Hunu are extremely complex and far away from us. Even Black Ice Platform knows very little about them!"
"Hunu launched an army of 800,000 this time, of which 300,000 were Mobei cavalry."
"According to our information, there are eight elite cavalry among the Hunu, namely the eight legions of tigers, leopards, bears, eagles, lions, jackals, elephants and foxes!"
"Each branch has one hundred thousand elite cavalry, and their combat power is extraordinary!"
"The commanders of the eight legions are all peerless generals and proficient in the art of war!"
"It is rumored that there are two mysterious troops in the Hunu royal family, called the Royal Cavalry and the Great Khan's Guard Battalion. Their number is unknown and their combat strength is unknown!"
Hearing Jia Xu's words, Ning Fan also had a look of deep surprise on his face. No wonder it was able to fight against Da Yan for hundreds of years. The combat power of a unit that could be called elite cavalry must exceed that of Mobei cavalry.
It seems that this time, Qin Qiong and the others are going to meet their opponents.
Ning Fan was not in a hurry to let Qin Ruishi and Han cavalry join the world. Hu Nu had not shown his trump card yet, so he had naturally made a complete plan. As for the Jixia Academy and the Wei Wu soldiers from Huainan!
That was prepared for Da Yan, and the Snow Dragon Rider was also an important card in his hand!
He is ready for the great battle of the world!
…
"Woo..."
"Woo..."
The dull sound of the horn sounded outside Yunteng City. Yue Fei, Lan Yu and other generals stood at the top of the city, looking at the approaching black knights in the distance, with somewhat solemn expressions on their faces.
"This kind of fine armor is completely different from Mobei."
"yes!"
Lan Yu also said with emotion: "Hunu are different from Mobei. Although they are in the north, they are not nomadic tribes. They have complete iron smelting technology and armor manufacturing technology."
"Furthermore, Hu Nu and Da Yan have been fighting for more than a hundred years. Their military units are more powerful, their tribes have stronger cohesion, their generals' commanding abilities, and the quality of their soldiers are far beyond those of Mobei."
"Over the years, even if Da Yan could guard the border under their iron hoofs, if it had been any of the five Central Plains countries, they would have fallen to the Hu Nu's iron cavalry long ago."
Yue Fei looked at the approaching cavalry phalanx, looked at Niu Gao beside him and asked: "How are the preparations in the city?"
"Commander, the catapult and crossbow are ready!"
"The rolling stones and wood have also been transported to the tower."
"Raise the suspension bridge!"
"promise!"
Niu Gao immediately shouted to the bottom of the tower: "Raise the suspension bridge!"
Outside the city, the iron cables on the moat slowly rose, raising the heavy suspension bridge.
Yunteng City is a fortress in the North. Both the height of the city wall and the city defense facilities are very complete. In previous battles, Mobei's cavalry were rarely able to reach the city.
Even a few months ago, when the Mobei cavalry entered the country, they selectively bypassed Yunteng City. After the surrounding cities fell, they joined forces and surrounded Yunteng City from all sides. They were trapped for several days and spent a lot of effort. The city was captured at a great cost.
"ha!"
"ha!"
"ha!"
After forming the formation, the Hunu army outside the city had no intention of stopping and setting up camp. They directly raised their arms to demonstrate. The sound was like a loud bell, and their anger was like a thunderous bell. The officers and soldiers of Dayu standing on the tower all had solemn expressions on their faces.
Thick killing energy rushed towards his face, and three figures rushed out of the square formation.
"Bah!"
"General Yu in the city, do you dare to fight?"
The person leading the city was a masked general wearing black armor, holding a mace, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Yo!"
"Is there a tradition of fighting generals among these barbarians?"
"Commander, I'll go down and play with him!"
Xing Daorong had a look of disdain on his face, and he shook the pear blossom mountain ax in his hand, feeling chilly.
Yue Fei looked at General Xing's menacing posture with a touch of emotion on his face, but he remembered his lord's previous warning.
"Peng Ju, Xing Daorong and Pan Feng, let them go to the north with you, but you must remember that although they are brave enough, they cannot be allowed to fight!"
"When both of you go out together, you must have a back-up!"
"General Xing must not be rash. This person is not simple. Now that the formation is being called out from the city, he must be well prepared!"
Hearing Yue Fei's advice, Xing Daorong immediately raised his head: "Commander, this is just a barbarian general. I will cut off his head with three axes. If it fails, I will engage in military law!"
"Commander, the last general invites you to fight!"
Pan Feng on the side couldn't help but stepped forward to ask for a fight. Xing Daorong spoke again: "Shuai Yue, can't you trust me?"
"of course not!"
"Since General Xing insists on asking for a fight, it's up to you to go down and test General Hu's skills."
"Remember, don't underestimate the enemy. If you lose, retreat in time!"
"promise!"
After Xing Daorong received Yue Fei's permission, his face was overjoyed, and he immediately rushed down the tower with his mountain-breaking ax.
Yue Fei's face showed a deep look of worry, and he looked at Pan Feng and Niu Gao on the side: "General Pan, General Niu, you two go down to hold the line for me!"
"promise!"
As the city gate opened, the drawbridge was lowered, war drums beat on the city tower, and all the soldiers cheered in unison.
"Bah!"
"Who is coming? Tell me your name. Your grandfather Xing will not kill the unknown people with his axe!"
Xing Daorong galloped out and reined in the horse in front of the suspension bridge. He saw the armored man holding a mace galloping forward, a dark aura sweeping over him. Yue Fei's expression on the tower immediately changed slightly.
"Hey!"
"Hey!"
"Hey!"
The soldiers of both armies struck their shields with swords and shouted loudly!
