The ninth day of October in the first year of Taihe.
Hundreds of scouts rushed towards the three cities of Yingzhou, Jezhou and Fuzhou from the north of Shanhaiguan, waving the flags in their hands and shouting.
"The enemy forces of the Jin Kingdom and the Turks are approaching Shanhaiguan, less than fifteen miles away."
"The enemy forces of the Jin Kingdom and the Turks are approaching Shanhaiguan, less than ten miles away."
"The enemy forces of the Jin Kingdom and the Turks are approaching Shanhaiguan, less than eight miles away."
As more and more scouts returned to the city, the gates of the three cities were immediately sealed, and the smell of murder filled the inside and outside of Shanhaiguan.
Arrogant and arrogant, Nangong Ye was fully armored, holding a Mo knife and looking in the direction outside Shanhaiguan, with a strong fighting spirit in his brows.
He glanced wildly at the soldiers who were debugging the crossbow cannon: "The day has finally come, but unfortunately we can only use defense as offense. I don't know what the situation is like on Liu Xiaozi's side!"
Nangong Ye put down the telescope in his hand: "We can't care about Liu Xiaozi's side. The current situation is extremely urgent. Depending on the situation, Yingzhou will become one of the most important battlefields. I don't know where Fuzhou and Jeju are.
How's the situation?"
"The Jin Kingdom's 600,000 troops, plus the Turks' 200,000 cavalry, are gradually approaching Shanhaiguan. It is not yet clear how many troops they have sent to attack the cities of Fuzhou and Jezhou."
"If they join forces and choose to attack Yingzhou together, with the strength of our defenders, we may not be able to survive until the fifteenth day and they will fall here."
"Probably not. The terrain outside Yingzhou City cannot spread out nearly 800,000 enemy troops. Forcibly gathering them outside the city will only become a living target for our archers."
"What's more, there are artillery here with long range and terrifying lethality. If one cannon hits the crowd, at least dozens of people will be killed or injured."
"Wanyan Chizha is a veteran general who has been famous for many years. He will definitely understand this. He will definitely divide his troops to attack Fuzhou and Jeju. It's just unclear how many troops he will divide."
Nangong Ye breathed a sigh of relief: "I hope so. Have you received any reply from the Golden Eagle who sent the letter to Duke Jingguo of the left army? How is the situation on their side?"
"I haven't received a reply yet. I have sent five letters in a row and none of them have come back. I don't know if there is some emergency situation."
"Have Lu Chengjie and Wan Mingliang sent any letters to report on the situation in Jeju and Fuzhou?"
"Not yet!"
"Our main battle force is 200,000, and the auxiliary troops are 200,000. We have only 400,000 troops in total, but we have to face 800,000 enemy troops. I hope Commander Liu can show the results of the battle soon!"
"I hope, as long as Liu Shuai's side... comes!"
Before Nangong Ye could finish his sentence, his old eyes condensed, staring in the direction of Shanhaiguan with a terrifying light.
Zhang Kuang looked at the situation and saw the flags outside Shanhaiguan covering the northern sky, forming a long river of flags with no edge, as if dark clouds were pressing over the top.
The first thing that catches the eye is a group of cavalry with jet-black armor that reflects light. Their movements are neither fast nor slow, but they have the aura of looking forward to death.
The three largest flags among the flags whistled in the wind.
Zhenguo, Yunhe, Huyan.
The king of the town is so beautiful that he looks awesome, Princess Yunhe is so beautiful that she falls into the moonlight, and the wolf flag in the royal court is Huyan.
Nangong Ye and Zhang Kuang raised the telescopes in their hands: "The black wolf cavalry on the left and right of the Jin Kingdom. It seems that the Jin Kingdom is determined to fight to the death this time!"
"Ying Yang Guard, Iron Armor Cavalry, Sha Po Lang, Luan Feng Bo, Armored Warrior, Fei Yun Cavalry, Halberd Holder, Blue Wolf Guard, Flying Bear Guard, Hundred Step Cavalry, Yunshan Guard."
"All the twelve guards of the Kingdom of Jin have arrived."
"The 200,000 cavalrymen of the left-wing army are undoubtedly the 200,000 Turkic cavalrymen!"
"The Turks claim to have 500,000 cavalry, but I don't know where the remaining 300,000 soldiers and horses are. Whether they were kept by Huyan Yunyao as a backup, or they went to attack the three cities of Yunzhou."
"I can't worry about that much anymore, just take care of yourself first."
"The Jin people carry a lot of siege equipment, including catapults, ladders, crossbows, and door-ramming vehicles. It seems that Iron Heart is trying to break through my city gate!"
Nangong Ye put down the telescope in his hand and raised the command flag in his hand: "Send the order to the soldiers, send the order to the three armies, beat the drums and prepare for battle!"
"The eight-oxen crossbow is cocked, the cannonballs are loaded, the catapult is loaded, the gold juice is prepared, and the thunder stone and rolling wood are prepared."
"Not to mention the 600,000 Jin Kingdom army, even the 600,000 heavenly soldiers and generals will take a step across the city. We will fight to the death for the sake of the country and the people!"
"Got the order!"
Zhang Kuang held the Mo Dao in his hand tightly: "Commander, it's time to bring those fifteen boxes of grenades up to test their power. Liu Xiaozi has repeatedly told us that we must be careful and don't let them come out and slow down the scene. Wouldn't we let Liu Xiaozi down?"
A prudent request!”
"Yes, I almost forgot about it. Bring it up and test its power against the enemy troops, and let them see the methods of Duke Ding!"
"But depending on the weather, the Jin Kingdom and the Turks probably won't attack the city today, but it's good to overpower them now!"
Half a cup of tea, the war drums rumbled on the Yingzhou city wall, and the melodious and solemn sound of the trumpet cut through the sky.
Outside Yingzhou City, the Jin army and the Turkic cavalry began to stop and stare at the tall walls of Yingzhou City.
Wanyan Chiezha happily took the telescope from the little cutie and glanced at the city wall of Yingzhou. Over a cup of tea, Wanyan Chiezha already understood the layout on the city wall, and slowly returned the telescope to the little boy.
cute.
"Commander, the terrain outside the city is open, but it is not enough to spread the 800,000-strong army. The commander-in-chief can order the Flying Bear Guard and the Yunshan Guard to attack the 100,000-strong army of Jeju City on the open and flat terrain. They can conduct a tentative attack. The main task is to prevent
Jeju garrison reinforces Yingzhou."
"Holding halberds and riding a hundred steps, the Canglang Guard's 150,000 troops attack Fuzhou, fight and then retreat. As long as the enemy troops do not leave the city, they will engage in a war of attrition."
"According to the intelligence, Dalong's troops are divided into three groups. The main army on the right side of the three cities of Yingzhou is 200,000 troops, with 200,000 auxiliary troops. 400,000 troops and horses are also defending the three cities."
"As expected, Yingzhou is a fortress with a maximum of 150,000 soldiers and horses. We have 350,000 soldiers and horses left, plus 200,000 Turkic cavalry. We can conquer Yingzhou in less than ten days."
"Commander, please give the order!"
Wanyan Chizha knew very well that in name, Princess Yunhe and Princess Wanyan Luoyue were the commanders of the Jin Kingdom army. In fact, the one who made the decision was himself, the king of the town. Making Princess Yunhe the commander was just to let her stay with him for a long time.
, learn from experience.
Princess Yunhe's talent is obvious to all the civil and military ministers of the Jin Kingdom, but being in charge of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers is more than just talent. Real knowledge comes from practice.
It takes a lot of tempering to get truly good steel.
When the little cutie heard her uncle's whisper, she pretended to look at the map for a while, nodded slightly, raised the flag in her hand, and looked at the two middle-aged men on the side.
"Ruhasa, Wanyan soldiers obey orders!"
"The end is here!"
"You will lead the Flying Bear Guard and the Yunshan Guard..."
"Chu Lumo, Sha Yangqing..."
Around the time of tea, the Jin Kingdom's 600,000-strong army separated into two groups of soldiers and horses, and rushed toward Jezhou and Fuzhou on the Yingzhou city wall in full view of the generals and soldiers.
As Nangong Ye and Zhang Kuang expected, the Jin Kingdom divided its forces.
Wanyan Chiezha looked at the little cutie's calm appearance with satisfaction, smiled softly and stroked his beard, and looked at the setting sun.
"uh-huh!"
The little cutie was stunned and glanced at Wanyan Chizha, who gently raised the flag.
"The black wolf cavalry and the halberd bearers will defend in a roundabout way to prevent Yingzhou's enemy troops from leaving the city for a sneak attack. The rest of the troops will be stationed in place to repair overnight and attack the city tomorrow morning!"
