In the afternoon of that day, the army completed its repairs and continued its advance.
As for Yan Qiaoqiao, Zhuo Junyan did not take her with him, but asked her to stay in Yancheng. As for whether she would run away, Zhuo Junyan didn't care.
The army marched northward and finally arrived at Sanshui City three days later.
Sanshui City is located in the southwest of Luozhou and is the intersection of three rivers.
From west to east, the Yulong River is like a big galloping dragon, irrigating countless lands and giving birth to hundreds of tributaries.
When flowing through the Yulong Plain, it branches into two tributaries. One main river continues to go eastward and flows into the sea. The two tributaries, one going north and one going south, form a trident shape.
The one to the south is the Huaiyin River.
Sanshui City was built on this land, hence its name.
Sanshui City is not a dangerous place for military strategists. It is surrounded by plains, crisscrossed by waterways, and rich in products. It is one of the famous granaries of the Moon Kingdom.
The city is surrounded by water to the west and north. The Huaiyin River runs directly into the city. The moat is connected to waterways and there are many entrances and exits. This makes it difficult to defend, but it is almost impossible to trap the place.
Sanshui City looks particularly peaceful today.
The channel of the Huaiyin River has been blocked and the iron gates have fallen.
The top of the city was filled with dense soldiers, with flags fluttering and hunting in the wind.
On the main wall of the south gate of Sanshui City, a group of people were surrounding a middle-aged man in brocade robes.
The man has an elegant face and can be considered handsome, but his eyes are a little sinister.
A pair of red phoenix eyes, with a hint of cunning shining in them.
This is Fengyin Hou Lu Dongchao.
There was also a group of military generals surrounding him, looking into the distance with Lu Dongchao.
There were streaks of dust and smoke in the distance, accompanied by the slight trembling of the earth. At the far end of the horizon, an armored heavy infantry team was slowly approaching.
They wore black battle armor and held steel shields and spears. The helmets covered their entire faces, leaving only a pair of cold eyes.
One spear after another poked into the sky, forming a dense forest of steel.
At the rear of this team were a large number of light infantry, cavalry and archers.
When they appear in the eyes of everyone, they give people a great sense of pressure.
Seeing this situation, a tough black-faced military general said: "Master Marquis, the enemy has arrived, why don't you let me deploy my troops outside the city to confront him."
Another young military general named Yang Yunzhao already said: "Master Marquis, Junwei's army has firearms in hand and is not afraid of field battles. The general believes that it is better to defend the city."
The black-faced military general who asked for orders earlier said: "We have 20,000 people, but the opponent only has 6,000, not to mention many strong men from the sect to help. If we don't dare to go out of the city to fight, if we say so, wouldn't it be weakening our army?"
ambition?"
Another person at the side door said: "What General Lu is saying is that if we hold on to the city, we can still shoot them with firearms? But we don't even have a chance to fight back. Instead, if they leave the city, if they shoot, we can at least charge and kill them."
Yang Yunzhao said helplessly: "When attacking with muskets, there is a city wall to provide cover. Once you leave the city, there is no cover."
"General Yang's words are wrong. Don't you know that Zhuo Junyan also has a cannon that can hit the city wall?" someone next to him said.
Yang Yunzhao sighed: "I know, but judging from the past, the ammunition used by this kind of cannon should be rare. There is only one cannon, which shows that Zhuo Junyan is also very rare. He will definitely not be able to blast it with just a few cannons.
We, as long as we hold on, there is nothing he can do to us."
"Absurd!" someone shouted: "Do you think we will lose?"
After hearing this, Yang Yunzhao looked at Feng Yinhou with a very hesitant expression, and finally lowered his head and said nothing.
Seeing that everyone had the same idea, Feng Yin waited for Lu Dong and said, "In that case, General Lu, I will help you lead the army out of the city and destroy the enemy outside the city gate."
General Na Lu responded loudly: "The last general has received the order!"
He walked down the tower in high spirits.
At this time, the Junwei Army had arrived about 300 meters away from Sanshui City and formed a military formation.
A group of men and horses rushed out of the city.
For the first battle, a black-faced and black-armored general held a three-pointed two-edged sword upside down. He rushed out a hundred meters away and stopped, waiting for the soldiers behind to form a formation. At the same time, the archers above the tower also bent their bows and set arrows, ready to block the opponent's attack.
attitude.
However, the Junwei Army did not charge immediately, but just looked at each other.
At this time, the closest distance between the two sides was less than fifty meters apart.
The soldiers stared at each other, the atmosphere was oppressive and silent, and even the violent and rapid breathing of the people opposite could be heard.
There were generals on both sides galloping past in front of the team, constantly instructing the soldiers to get into formation and be calm, while the generals at the rear were observing their opponents' arrangements.
Jin Wuxin is in the middle as the army leader. He can see clearly at this distance without a telescope. However, his experience is still not as good as Tie Fengjian and Lin Zhongyue.
Especially Lin Zhongyue, who just glanced at him and said: "Three thousand people."
The battlefield is huge and the field of vision is limited. Being able to see how many people are coming out of the opponent at a glance shows that Lin Zhongyue has great eyesight.
Tie Fengjian pointed to the general in front of him who was pacing back and forth on horseback and said: "Lu Tianhu, one of Fengyinhou's warriors. He is a fourth-level warrior and is very strong in horse and foot combat. I and I
He has fought before, he is no match for me when dismounting, and I am no match for him when mounting."
Zhuo Junyan didn't care either.
Below the transformation level, a sniper rifle can take care of it.
If you are above the transformation level, sniper rifles can also injure you.
He peeled a melon seed, put it in his mouth, and said casually: "How are you?"
Tie Feng gradually understood what he meant: "It's okay. It's the kind that can be used and doesn't feel bad if killed."
"Then don't do it. Anyway, the most indispensable thing in this world is warriors." Zhuo Junyan said casually.
Lin Zhongyue pointed his horse whip forward: "The eight hundred cavalry are in the middle. Lu Tianhu is planning to break through in the middle."
The heavy infantry is in the center, with cavalry on both sides.
Cavalry is useless in attacking a city, but heavy infantry can defeat cavalry.
Lu Tianhu actually put the cavalry in the middle, which was like hitting a stone with an egg.
Zhuo Junyan was a little surprised: "Is it a scam? For example, disguising sect masters as ordinary soldiers and placing them in the middle, waiting for opportunities to take action?"
Tie Feng glanced at Zhuo Junyan in surprise: "My lord, can you not always think of people as so sinister? Only you can do such evil thoughts, no one else can do it."
Zhuo Junyan touched his chin: "I was viciously treated a few days ago."
Tie Fengjian: "..."
It was Shen Shengnan who said: "People from the sect are self-reliant on their identity and generally won't pretend to be soldiers."
Zhuo Junyan nodded: "In other words, this Lu Tianhu is just pure stupidity?"
Shen Shengnan said: "Not entirely. To defeat cavalry with heavy infantry also depends on the situation. Our heavy armored soldiers are not martial formations, and Lu Tianhu's cavalry has at least 200 soldiers in martial formations. If we use the Jin Yaolin rhinoceros formation to attack them, it can be
Break the heavy step."
Zhuo Junyan frowned: "Isn't the Jin Yao Lin Rhinoceros a heavy cavalry? But these are light cavalry."
"Half-armored cavalry, using human strength to make up for the lack of armor, the world's military formations are incompetent, there is no reason to be rigid." Shen Shengnan seizes the opportunity to teach Zhuo Junyan a lesson.
Lu Tianhu's cavalry is half armor, that is, the soldiers wear armor but the horses do not.
This is mainly because the requirements for fully armored cavalry on war horses are too high. Ordinary horses cannot run. Only a few special war horses from some regions meet the requirements. Half armored cavalry is between light and heavy armor, and is considered a variant.
At this moment, as the formation opened up, Lu Tianhu raised the three-pointed two-edged sword in his hand, and the cavalry from behind began to slowly move forward.
Tie Feng gradually waved his sword and shouted: "Hold still, aim at the horse!"
The opponent is half armor, and the horse is the weak point.
However, if Lu Tianhu dares to charge like this, he naturally has something to rely on, that is, the martial formation can use the power of unity to protect the war horse with its own internal strength, which is like an invisible wall.
But this is still a weak point, and the attack on the war horse will be more effective.
But leaving the men alone and dealing with the horses requires extremely high quality of soldiers.
If we say that not retreating in the face of battle is the basic requirement for soldiers; using the training gained in wartime is the intermediate requirement; being able to still accept orders and change in the face of battle is the advanced requirement.
After all, the training time for these soldiers of the Junwei Army was short. At this moment, seeing the densely packed army attacking with such force and overwhelming force, many of them felt their hearts pounding and were trembling with fear.
As a result, many people's limbs become rigid, their brains go blank, and everything they have learned has been forgotten.
Fortunately, the heavy infantry, which is known as the Great Wall of Steel, is a group with the best psychological quality. Many of them are veterans of the former Nanyue Army, so it can generally be maintained.
At this moment, each soldier calmed down and stared at the incoming troops from afar.
Iron hooves roared and the earth trembled.
Hundreds of war horses have charged ahead, followed by a large number of infantry.
They were shouting and shouting with a roar that was as loud as the waves, but they faced a solid metal embankment.
The distance is getting closer and closer, and each other's psychology is also extremely tense.
Then a roar was heard, and the torrent collided with the dam for the first time.
Countless spears pierced each other, creating a raging wave of air on the ground.
The shouts of killing were heroic and passionate, and spears, swords and heavy shields intertwined with light and shadow.
The war horses neighed, and under the control of some cavalry with excellent riding skills, they jumped directly over the shield wall in front and rushed into the crowd all the way back.
The role of cavalry is not positional warfare, but impact.
Chaosing the enemy's formation through powerful impacts is the essence of cavalry.
At this moment, one cavalryman after another jumped over the heavy infantry blockade, and with the help of the strength of the military formation, they rushed through the infantry formation and rushed forward. Swords, guns, swords and halberds were coming from all directions. Lu Tianhu used the three-pointed two-pointed sword in his hand to
The blade danced into a hurricane, slamming all the attacking swords and guns into the air, soaring in strength and rushing forward.
The sword was swung, and a soldier's head flew into the sky.
The heavy infantry in the front row protected themselves behind their large shields and kept stabbing outwards. Their responsibility was to keep attacking forward, leaving the rear to their companions.
This is the tacit understanding that must exist on the battlefield, always moving forward and never looking back.
Under tremendous psychological pressure, some soldiers may even collapse on the spot, but they are not even qualified to turn back.
People are crowding people, people are hugging people.
Anyone who dares to look back will be killed without mercy!
