Chapter 349

"Line up to meet the enemy!"

Bai Hua shouted loudly, and the 100,000 troops behind him immediately stood ready.

All the way here, although there was no serious battle, all the soldiers did not relax at all.

In the blink of an eye, the formation was already in place.

Harlandin was stunned for a moment when he saw the scene in front of him. He did not expect that the merchant army would move so fast, but after a brief comparison of the number and strength of both sides, he breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter how powerful the Shang army is, if they fight 600,000 against 100,000, they won't be defeated no matter what.

"Soldiers!" Harlandin shouted: "The invaders have approached our royal capital. We cannot turn a blind eye and take their heads. They are a symbol of your achievements."

This mobilization had a great effect, and the vanguard troops rushed out like tigers.

Bai Hua was indeed unhurried. There were several extremely tall soldiers beside him, each holding a tube made of iron paper.

"Put down your weapons and go home immediately. Your parents, wives and children are waiting for you! As long as you go back, the food fields will be yours."

These words were extremely lethal, and part of Khwarazm's ice, which was charging like a tiger, actually wavered.

Quite a few of them are young men who were captured temporarily just to support the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.

There are almost a million troops in the entire Khwarezm, but its territory is very vast and there are many cities. Therefore, a large number of soldiers must be dispersed to guard various cities. There are only 200,000 soldiers stationed in the royal capital all year round.

But for the auspicious number during the heaven-sacrifice ceremony, 600,000 yuan must be gathered near the priest's field.

At this time of year, in addition to dispatching troops from various cities to the royal capital, they also capture a large number of strong men.

Many ordinary people were caught here inexplicably and were forced to put on armor and become soldiers.

In fact, they don't even know how to hold a knife.

Harlandin was a little panicked. He clearly saw that the vanguard was in chaos. If this continued, the entire army might be in chaos.

With his brain spinning rapidly, Harlandin ordered his two lieutenants to lead an army of 50,000 men to bypass the two flanks.

In this current situation, only by defeating Bai Hua as quickly as possible can we stabilize the army.

As long as there is a victory, he can use it to promote that the merchant army is not invincible, and then launch a nationwide counterattack.

Bai Hua still seemed calm and composed, and did not order a counterattack until the opponent's vanguard army was less than a hundred meters away.

The two sides immediately collided with each other, but Khwarezm's vanguard seemed a little weak. At the first moment of the battle, a considerable number of people dismounted, knelt on the ground and surrendered, and some even turned against each other.

Bai Huake dispersed all the 100,000 people in his hands into groups of a hundred, forming thousands of teams. Each team was equipped with two people, who shouted the contents of the edict issued by Zhao Rui.

He himself led a hundred men straight to Harandin.

Harlandin was frightened by such a fighting method of breaking up into parts. He had never seen anyone split the army into such pieces.

In this way, the men and horses he sent out to detour from both sides would be useless.

At the same time, the contents of Zhao Rui's edict spread throughout the entire Khwarezm army.

Their system is different from that of Dashi, but it is a compulsory military service system.

Moreover, the status of all soldiers is extremely low. Mine even needs to carry its own weapons and horses.
