An hour later, among the coalition forces, war drums were beating loudly, and an army of 500,000 people rushed towards the Cangluo River.
The whole ground trembled, like an earthquake!
In fact, a safer approach is to wait until dark before breaking out, which will have a greater chance of success.
But Tuoba Xi couldn't wait any longer.
Because the armies from the other two directions are rushing towards this side at extremely fast speeds, and secondly, Zhong Yuanshan and Luo Kaisheng are also maneuvering to set up pockets on the front.
By then, they will really become trapped beasts!
In the evening of that day, the two sides finally met, and a big battle finally broke out!
Nearly 500,000 people versus 150,000 people, a military strength gap of three to one!
This is the greatest advantage of the coalition!
What is not good for them is time!
Of course, for He Gang, the situation is exactly the opposite.
Of course Xiao Tian also knew that this battle was extremely crucial. He gave He Gang a death order to hold off the enemy for at least two hours and conserve as much strength as possible!
Because in two hours, Song Yuankui's 100,000-strong army will also arrive.
This is not difficult for He Gang.
He Gang always had a lot of whimsical ideas when fighting, so he adopted a half-guerrilla and half-positional style of play.
Absolutely don't give the opponent's large army a chance to directly cut a hole.
And because he had already expected that the coalition forces would break out from his direction, he had already thought of a plan.
That is the tactic of cutting off in the middle, which can also be called the dragon-snake tactic.
A part of the army was in the front, while the rest of the army was divided into several parts and crossed vertically and horizontally to kill the middle army and the rear army.
Moreover, these several parts echo each other and form a superior force in the situation.
This made the coalition forces very uncomfortable, like a piece of dog-skin plaster that stuck to their bodies but could not be shaken off.
Just when I wanted to get rid of them, they left on their own.
But they can't ignore it yet. You must know that the rear army still has a lot of food, grass and baggage.
If something happens, how will they go back?
There will probably be a mutiny soon.
At this moment, a cry of killing resounded throughout the world.
The Kui tribe of Song and Yuan Dynasties has arrived!
Although He Gang's and Song Yuankui's troops combined were only half of the opponent's troops, their morale was already worlds apart.
What's more, in terms of combat power, these are all elites!
In the last two years when Xiao Tian was in charge of the northern border, he had already begun to adopt the route of elite troops, reducing the previous million-strong army by 30 to 40%.
Therefore, in terms of combat strength, the combat strength of this 250,000-strong army is already greater than the opponent's 500,000-strong army.
"By the way, Tang Lei, when will your army arrive?" Xiao Tian lit a cigarette and asked casually.
"It will definitely arrive in three hours." Tang Lei said, "I just contacted him ten minutes ago."
"Well, inform He Gang and Song Yuankui that they can start a war."
Xiao Tian took a deep breath and blew out a smoke ring.
"No wait?"
"No need to wait, they will come in as a new force when the time comes, and the effect will be even better."
"Tell them to stop after a few hours of beating, but beat me hard for a few hours and don't give up the ammunition."
"Hello!"
Tang Lei responded immediately. Although he still hadn't figured out why Long Shuai arranged it like this, he must have his reasons.
"Wait a minute." Xiao Tian stopped him and pointed on the map: "Try to drive them here!"
Tang Lei's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he understood a little!
Then he went to make a phone call and a big fight broke out!
This also officially kicked off the show!
Night had just fallen, but along the Cangluo River, artillery fire shot into the sky, illuminating the area as if it were daytime.
Countless tongues of fire were spraying, the sounds of various guns continued, and the sounds of explosions continued.
At this time, the coalition forces were wailing.
Many generals have gathered in Tuoba Xi's big tent.
"Commander, the enemy's firepower is too fierce!"
"Yeah, brothers can't hold it any longer!"
"Thousands of their cannons are bombarding us non-stop. If this continues, we won't be able to hold on for long."
"Don't tell me this. I'm ordering you now to resist with all your strength and charge forward! A hole must be made before dawn!"
"Charge? How to charge? Charge one and show it to us!"
At this moment, a cold snort sounded.
Immediately, several figures walked in with angry faces.
They were the military commanders from various countries who came to ask Tuoba Xi for an explanation during the day.
Tuoba Xi knew that these people would come, so he waved his hand and asked the generals to go down.
Those generals are his subordinates, so he is not worried. What he is really worried about is the few people in front of him.
He suppressed the arrogance and anger in his heart, and forced a smile on his face: "The war is in full swing now, and some of you are not commanding on the front line. Why are you here?"
"Do you think we want to come?"
"Not bad, command? It's a battle like this, go up and command me and take a look!"
"Tuoba Xi, we listened to you and worked hard to break out. Now look at what the breakthrough looks like."
"That's right. It has only been a few hours and we have already lost 70,000 to 80,000 people and 30% of our ammunition has been reduced. Tell me, how can we continue this battle?"
"Yes, the other side still has a large army that has not arrived. Once it arrives, what will we do?"
At this time, Tuoba Xi's face turned cold: "It's good that you know, so now we only have a chance to survive if we rush hard."
"Otherwise, everyone will have no choice but to die here!"
"You~~~"
Upon hearing this, the commanders-in-chief of various countries were so angry that their lungs almost exploded!
"Report~~~~"
At this moment, a scout came in:
"Commander Qi, the army from the east has landed and will be here in less than an hour."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the big tent turned pale.
"What are you still doing? Do you really want to die here?" Tuoba Xi roared angrily.
Everyone looked at him deeply, and suddenly one of them said: "Let's go!"
Although I am extremely dissatisfied, now I have no choice!
There's only one way to go until it's dark!
Sure enough, within an hour, another hundred thousand troops arrived!
The Chinese side is even more powerful and has more firepower!
For a time, the coalition army had no power to resist at all.
But the strange thing is that the Chinese army did not defeat them, but forced them to a hillside by the Cangluo River.
They arranged a formation around one kilometer away from the hillside and surrounded them.
They even stopped attacking!
The place where artillery fire was raging suddenly became silent.
It's just this silence that makes everyone in the coalition feel an inexplicable uneasiness...
