The sound of war drums was deafening, and the soldiers clenched their weapons. Ji Jie's eyes slid across the resolute faces, and he shouted loudly: "Warriors, what we are facing today is the powerful Huns cavalry. Many of you have followed me, Ji Jie, in my battles in the north and south, and have made great contributions. I promise here that I will lead you to victory today!"
"Your Majesty is mighty... Your Majesty is mighty..."
Listening to the allied forces' thunderous shouts, King Wu Rong looked disdainful and said to Yilim next to him: "There are only 50,000 Central Plains people. It is a dream to defeat my 60,000 Huns cavalry!"
Yilim echoed: "You are right! The people of the Central Plains are good at infantry fighting. When it comes to horse fighting, no nation is the opponent of our Huns cavalry. We only need one charge to wipe out half of their troops. Turn around and fight again." If we charge once, there won't be a single Central Plains person left who can stand!"
Yesterday, after they got the specific location of the coalition's formation, the two of them looked up to the sky and laughed together. It was an open area with a clear view, which was conducive to large-scale cavalry attacks.
"Since they are ready to die, why should we be so polite!" King Wu Rong waved his hand and said to the soldiers behind him: "Listen, warriors of our clan, we will lead the battle. When the opportunity to make meritorious deeds comes, give them to me. Use your special skills and kill all the people from the Central Plains, charge!"
The soldiers drew their weapons and began to charge towards the coalition formation.
Yilimu also turned around and shouted: "Warriors, charge!"
Sixty thousand troops charged together, and the ground trembled under the horses' hooves. From a distance, it looked like a black torrent coming overwhelmingly.
Ji Jie stood on the command podium, pulled out a command flag, and ordered: "The artillery is ready. When the enemy enters the effective range, fire freely after two salvos!"
Also standing on the stage is Ji Lin, who has no enemy missions for the time being.
The artillerymen began to reload, and the observers in the front waved their flags. Hundreds of trebuchets were fired at the same time. The cavalry in the front raised their knight shields. At this moment, the enemy also fired crossbows.
"Boom boom boom..."
A violent explosion sounded, and gunpowder smoke instantly enveloped the enemy running at the front, and the broken limbs and arms fell together with the flying soil.
Then came the second round of bombing, ruthlessly harvesting the enemy's lives.
The Huns' archery skills should not be underestimated. Although the coalition soldiers at the forefront held their shields high, many of them were still hit by arrows and fell from their horses. The scene was extremely tragic.
The Huns began to change their formation, with more than 10,000 men on each wing, attacking in a roundabout way from the left and right.
The artillery on both wings of the coalition began to fire, and explosions occurred one after another on the battlefield, followed by more intensive explosions, and thunderbolt bombs began to show their power.
The thunderbolt bombs used by the coalition forces are superior to those purchased by the enemy with huge sums of money, both in terms of range and power, and they are even more incomparable in terms of quantity. In order to control the attrition, Ji Jie is not afraid of losing his capital.
King Urong and Yilim were also in the charging team, and they were a little timid at this time.
The Huns, who were used to clearing the way with arrows and charging with their horses, had never seen such a formation. In their opinion, no nation or army could withstand their impact. Even before they rushed in front of the enemy, the enemy would He was frightened out of his wits, and then he chopped melons and vegetables at them, and then returned victorious.
But now, black things are falling among the soldiers one after another. After an explosion, they are knocked off their backs, but the opponent is motionless, waiting for your arrival.
In order to maintain consistent lethality, Ji Jie ordered the frontline troops to line up in three rows and fire thunderbolts in series. The enemies in the front could not rush over for a while. The corpses of people and animals killed by the bombs were piling up, blocking the way of their charge. The enemy could not Don't choose to take a detour.
I thought it would be easy to fight in close combat, but only now did the Huns realize that it would cost blood. The shape of the two wings was similar to that of the front, and the attack was also blocked.
King Urong and Yilimu looked at each other, smiled bitterly at the same time, shouted "Charge" together, and led their troops to continue the attack. They pinned their hopes entirely on close combat.
After paying a huge price, the two sides finally fought together.
According to the current strength comparison between the two sides, the coalition forces have surpassed the Huns. They had suffered at least 20,000 casualties before.
The coalition formation was tight and the arms cooperated well. When the Huns rushed in front of them, it took a lot of effort. The so-called impact of the war horses became an intangible cloud, and the combat effectiveness also weakened.
The artillery continued to fire, of course towards the middle and rear of the Huns. The forward momentum was curbed, and the follow-up forces were bombarded. The Huns were suffering from internal and external troubles, and the melee did not bring them much benefit.
When the time finally arrived, Ji Jie took out a flare and pointed it at the sky.
The signal flares soared into the sky and exploded in the air. Xiong Ba and Xiong Ben, who were ambushing in the ditch, led four thousand people to charge towards them. The enemy did not notice this, and no one thought that they would soon be counterattacked if they wanted to surround the coalition forces. surrounded.
"The command mission is over!" Ji Jie said to Ji Lin with a smile: "Are you interested in killing the enemy with me?"
"Of course!" Ji Lin replied while taking off a pair of Wu hooks on her back.
"Then please!" The two of them jumped off the wooden platform and sat directly on the horse.
Ji Jie rushed towards Yilimu. That guy had already killed several coalition forces. He let you escape by chance last time, but he will definitely take your life today.
"when……"
The two weapons collided, and Yilimu's mace failed to gain any advantage. Without thinking, he swung the weapon in his hand and hit Ji Jie on the head.
Ji Jie turned his body to one side and calmly dodged the blow. The spear in his hand quickly stabbed into his body from a tricky angle.
"Ah!" Yilim screamed and fell off the horse.
Ji Jie suddenly clamped the horse's belly, and the war horse raised its front hooves and stepped down hard. The horse's hooves with fine iron horseshoes stepped on Yilim's chest, and the crisp sound of broken bones was heard immediately.
Yilimu spat out a mouthful of blood with pieces of flesh, his head tilted and he died.
As the saying goes, to capture a thief first, capture the king. Ji Jie set his next target on King Urong.
King Wu Rong witnessed the killing of Yilim with his own eyes, and thought to himself that this boy was a well-known Hun warrior, but he was killed by one move. Who was the person who killed him? He was so powerful!
In front of so many subordinates, he could not show any timidity, lest his military morale be shaken.
"Come and tell me your name!" King Wu Rong shouted: "I, King Wu Rong, will not kill unknown people!"
Ji Jie stabbed the enemy in front of him to death with one shot, and said loudly: "Ji Jie, Lord Zhaowen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it turns out that you are the King of Wurong, accept your fate!"
At this time, Xiong Ba and Xiong Ben led their troops to kill. The Huns were attacked from both sides and became chaotic.
