With Zheng Du's cooperation, everything was ready in less than two hours.
The Zheng family also spent a lot of money.
There are a total of 1,200 war horses, 1,300 sets of iron armor, 570 long spears, hundreds of sets of leather armor for war horses, and countless other bows, crossbows, swords, shields and other items.
Flags were raised one after another, fluttering in the east wind.
In addition, there are more than 3,000 donkeys, mules, cattle, camels and other livestock.
It’s better to ride with something than nothing.
Li Yue simply brought out a new team of donkey and mule cavalry, and more than a hundred cattle, with daggers tied to their horns and colorful brocades draped on their backs, and drove them ahead. If Shi Bin couldn't be frightened, he would just create a fire cattle formation. .
Regardless of Hebei or Henan, all the begging troops in Xingyang City will go into battle and leave them in Xingyang City. I'm afraid that when the wind blows in the wrong direction, they will directly respond from the inside and outside.
Not to mention, there are more than 15,000 people, and their military strength is already worthy of Shi Bin.
All kinds of cavalry were gathered together, and there were actually eight thousand people.
While running around, cows roared, horses neighed, donkeys brayed, the air was filled with smoke, sand and rocks flew, it really looked like that.
Chen Duan and Bo Wu led two thousand Chenliu begging troops in Houdu Town. In the middle were the begging troops of various ministries, and at the front was the Heiyun Army.
With the support of the rich Zheng family, the Black Cloud Army also changed its appearance. The eight hundred knights on the left front were majestic and majestic with black armor and red silk ribbons. On the mule, there was murderous intent.
Afterwards, the soldiers in the middle base had arrows like a forest, holding powerful crossbows in their hands, and long knives hanging from their waists. They were surrounded by a three-foot-high black curtain in the middle, with two bright red regular script characters written on it: Black Cloud!
However, these two words were written in sheep's blood by Chang Wei in a hurry. The blood was not dry yet and flowed down, but unexpectedly gave it a ferocious beauty.
Standing in the middle of the army, I could only feel the chilling air surging out.
Standing under the toothbrush, Li Yue felt the blood boiling all over his body, and a sense of solemnity arose in his heart.
The soldiers around him were all like this, with solemn faces.
Li Yue suddenly remembered a saying from later generations: Soldiers regard honor as their life!
With honor, an army has a soul.
The banner of the Black Cloud Army was erected on the land of the Central Plains.
To the east of Xingyang, there are banners like the sea, armor like mountains, drums and horns sounding in unison, and black clouds rolling in.
Less than ten miles out of the city, the scouts kept sending back various news.
"General, we have discovered the Zhuhu coalition forces twenty miles away, and the enemy has also discovered our army, so we must move to the east of the river!"
The Black Cloud Army did not stop and continued to move forward.
As the sun set, the warm spring breeze blew in from the east, but it could not blow away the perseverance and murderous look on the faces of the black cloud soldiers.
Although it was to intimidate Shi Bin, in fact, Li Yue's military order was to go to war. Only those who dare to fight and show their swords can truly scare the enemy.
Several Hu riders with pheasant feathers on their heads came from the east holding small flags and shouted on their horses: "His Royal Highness King Yan has an order, the Black Cloud Army must quickly return to Xingyang City without any mistakes!"
Although the voice was loud, it seemed a little lacking in confidence.
Li Yue ordered the soldiers around him to come forward and pass the message, "The King of Yan is coming from afar, and he is tired from the journey. The general has no other intentions. Please be suspicious, Your Highness, the King of Yan!"
Several barbarians drew their horses and left, not daring to stay for a moment longer.
"General, the Hu coalition forces have demolished the crossing bridge and created a deep ditch and high fortress!"
Tearing down the bridge shows that Shi Bin has given up...
"How can a mere river stop our army? Beat the drums and blow the trumpets!" Li Yue shouted.
The sound of war drums moved the ground, and the sound of horns soared into the sky.
Countless birds in the forest were startled, and they flew into the sky in a black mass. Foxes, rabbits, sheep and deer fled south in groups.
The originally scattered footsteps gradually became orderly under the rhythm of war drums and horns.
A winding river lies in front of it like a jade belt, with grass growing on both sides.
To the east of Xushui, the Zhuhu coalition troops stood nervously in the grass. There were hastily dug ditches in front of the formation, and rows of spears were like reeds growing in the spring.
On the right, there are more than a thousand Qiang riders with loose hair, galloping back and forth in the grass like a flock of pheasants.
The infantry on the lower left holds a shield in front and holds a spear at the back. The damaged armor is stained with black and red blood. The military appearance is slightly embarrassed, but other barbarians are timid, but this group of troops is calm and calm.
Li Yue, who had been through life and death on the battlefield, could tell at a glance that the infantry on the lower left posed the greatest threat. Looking at his banner, he saw, as expected, that they were Pu Hong's men. No wonder they could withstand Liang Du's mad dog-like attack.
Li Yue raised his hands, and the drums and horns of the Black Cloud Army became even more exciting.
On the upper left, the Heiyun Xiaoqiu stood with his arms raised, motionless and staring at the Qiangqiu opposite.
The forward soldiers on the lower right are waiting in formation with maces and bones. Their thick armors look like iron beasts eager to fight, staring eagerly at the Di infantry on the opposite side.
The donkey and mule cavalry dragged out a huge cloud of dust behind them, as if they were hiding thousands of troops.
In this atmosphere, Guangzong's begging army, which was still swaying at first, gradually became excited.
Freed from the control of Li Nong, Zhang Liang and others, they gradually returned to their original state.
The Han and Wei dynasties were only a hundred years ago, and the brave and vigorous China should not sink into this.
The setting sun happened to cast its afterglow on the black cloud army, so the black clouds were mixed with a golden and red color, and the armor shone with light, standing in front of the Zhuhu coalition forces like magic soldiers descending from the sky.
Li Yue tried his best to build up his momentum. The two armies faced off, and the momentum was high and the judgment was made.
No one can maintain composure in front of such an army.
This is by no means a bluff. Once the Zhuhu coalition forces show their flaws, Li Yue will definitely drive his troops to kill them. Because the benefits of victory are too great, Shi Bin is nothing, but Yao Yizhong and Pu Hong are extremely valuable.
Recalling that yesterday he and Pu Hong exchanged polite greetings, but today they met with swords and swords, Li Yue felt as if he was in another world.
In troubled times, the situation changes at any time. Who knows that today's friends and allies may not be tomorrow's mortal enemies on the battlefield?
Besides, Pu Hong followed Shi Bin and would not show mercy to him if given the chance.
These are the rules of the game!
"Hei, Heiyun Army blocked King Yan, what do you want?" intermittent shouts came from the other side.
Li Yue originally wanted to shout directly to ask Shi Bin to go back, but when he heard this cowardly and weak cry, his heart moved and he ordered his soldiers to shout: "Heiyun Army is here to welcome King Yan into the city!"
"Heiyun Army is here to welcome King Yan into the city!"
Every soldier exerted all his strength and roared hysterically, like a thunderbolt striking in front of the two armies, the sound shaking the sky.
The loud roar made the other party hesitate again.
Wasn't Shi Bin rushing to Xingyang in a hurry?
I will personally lead an army to greet you and give you enough face to see whether you come or not!
You fucking dare try to cross the river!
Li Yue's eyes flashed coldly.
Heiyun Xiaoqi and Heiyun Armor took a step forward, "Welcome King Yan to the city!"
Call——
Suddenly several Qiang riders fell off their horses across from them.
Yesterday's battle on Tuqiu had left a psychological shadow on the Qiang people. Sometimes when people retreat once, they retreat a second time.
They retreated, having lost psychologically.
