Yelv Mo looked at the Songzhou City wall with a gloomy expression.
There was another drumbeat and shouting, but the city gate was still closed, and no enemy troops were seen charging out.
Yeluhu held the riding crop tightly and sighed silently, feeling helpless.
Liu Mingzhi has been famous for many years, but doesn’t he know the truth about the incompetence of a donkey in Guizhou?
After teasing himself again and again, does he think that although he has a low reputation, he is really a fool?
Recalling the Queen's repeated instructions before setting off for the expedition, as well as his father Yeluhu's instructions, Yelv Mo hesitated.
Maybe Liu Mingzhi has other plans.
Thinking of this, Yelv Mo took a deep breath, held his breath and watched every move on the Songzhou city wall intently to prevent any unexpected changes.
Based on the rumors about Liu Mingzhi he heard from his father, and what he had learned about Liu Mingzhi's life experience along the way, he did not believe that Liu Mingzhi would continue to do such useless actions even though he knew that Guizhou's donkeys were at their wits' end.
After a few cups of tea, the rumble of drums could be heard again from Songzhou City, and the shouts of killing continued to come from Songzhou City.
The snowflakes became much bigger, and Yelv Mo could only see the city dimly.
Yeluhu looked around and saw that the gates of Songzhou City were still closed, and no one appeared.
Yelv Mo let out a breath, turned his eyes and started thinking.
The interval between drum sounds this time seems to be much shorter than the previous times. Is it unintentional or intentional?
Except that the time was much shorter, the sound of drums was still the same, and the shouts of death were still the same, there didn't seem to be any big changes.
wrong.
Yelv Mo suddenly shrank his eyes, his heart tightened, and his hand holding the riding crop suddenly clenched.
The sound of the rush to kill at the North City Gate seems to be much clearer. It is obvious that such clear sounds of killing can only be heard near the city gate.
Moreover, the shouts from the other three city gates could be vaguely heard, which was something that had not happened in the previous times.
The thought of enemy attack came directly to Yelv Mo's mind.
After so many false and true moments, Liu Mingzhi really planned to launch a charge this time.
Yelv Mo hurriedly raised the command flag in his hand: "Send the order to the soldiers!"
"exist!"
"Immediately send an order to General Humu's rear troops to gather together. Dalong's enemy troops are about to charge us."
"Got the order!"
Yelumo drew out his sword, held the horse's rein tightly and pointed towards Songzhou City.
"The whole army is ready for war, and is ready to meet the enemy. Arrange according to the battle formation, and do not cause chaos. The enemy is just one man and one horse. There is nothing to be afraid of."
"Kill the enemy and perform meritorious service, and honor your ancestors."
The sky seems to have sensed this upcoming rare battle. Although there is no sound, the snowflakes are falling more densely from the sky.
"Come on!"
"Rumble..."
For the third time, the sound of charging and killing came from Songzhou City. Unlike the previous times, it was also accompanied by the sound of cannons. Gradually, Yelvmo and the Jin army could clearly feel the trembling of the earth.
They understood that this was the shock caused by the large-scale cavalry attack.
Before he had time to think too much, the sound of thunder exploding suddenly came from the Jin Kingdom's army formation, followed by screams.
Many of the snowflakes in the phalanx were blown out of the way by the waves exploded by the shells.
Yelumo turned his head and glanced away. Although there were snowflakes blocking the way, it could still be seen that many phalanxes had been hit head-on by artillery shells.
"Send the order, use a phalanx of a hundred people to keep a distance of ten steps to guard against the dragon's artillery fire."
"Got the order!"
Yelv Mo couldn't see where Jiang Lei had arranged the artillery, so he could only order to spread out the formation and increase the distance. The rest could only be left to God's will.
Xue Mu blocked the way, and we could not see Dalong's artillery layout. Dalong's artillery also couldn't figure out the position of its army's formation, which naturally reduced the casualties of brothers who died under the artillery.
As the deafening sound of cannons rang in their ears, the Jin army clearly felt that the ground beneath their feet was shaking much stronger. This was because the enemy was gradually approaching.
"Archers, shoot the arrows!"
Yelv Mo, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, swung his sword suddenly, and ordered the archers to release arrows.
Waves of arrows shot towards the source of the sound in Xuemuzhong, causing the excited voices of the Jin Kingdom soldiers to be heard, and bursts of screams came from Xuemuzhong.
"Keep shooting arrows, once you can see the enemy's figure!"
"The shield bearers formed a formation, the spearmen stepped forward to assist, and the cavalry charged on both wings!"
Following Yelumo's order, the Jin army began to change their defensive formations in an orderly manner.
Although they are all new recruits, they are also elite soldiers who have been trained for many years, and they are just short of being tempered by the fire of war.
Cheng Kai and Zhou Baoyu listened to the screams of the brothers around them and hurriedly bent down and hung themselves under the horse's belly.
"Give orders in turn and hang under the horse's belly to avoid the enemy's arrows!"
"The general has ordered you to hang yourself under the horse's belly to avoid the arrows!"
As waves of orders were passed to each other, the 100,000 cavalry showed off their elite horsemanship skills, waving their swords in one hand, hanging on the side of the horse and continuing to charge towards the Jin Kingdom's army formation.
At the speed of the war horses, the short distance is nothing.
Liu Mingzhi took the lead and charged towards the army formation with his Heavenly Sword. The surrounding guards did not do anything to stop him.
Because they know that the principle that a gentleman should not stand behind a dangerous wall has no effect on the commander. The commander is more concerned about leading by example and leading his brothers to charge.
Gradually the target was the cavalry of the Kingdom of Jin. Liu Mingzhi flipped the heavenly sword in his hand and charged from the side to outflank the enemy who was about to outflank him, but he was killed by his own sword.
After Young Master Liu's Heavenly Sword saw blood first, a large group of soldiers and horses from the rear immediately came and met the Jin Kingdom's cavalry head-on and rushed over.
At such a close distance, the impact of the heavy snow is nothing, and the difference between the enemy's and our own armors can be clearly distinguished.
In the blink of an eye, the wilderness north of Songzhou City was filled with the sounds of fighting.
The hot breath exhaled by hundreds of thousands of people screaming caused the snowflakes to melt into water before they even hit the ground. In the blink of an eye, the situation on the battlefield became clearer.
The field of vision was clear, and the shortcomings of the Jin cavalry were clearly revealed.
How Liu Mingzhi originally evaluated the 300,000 New Army cavalry was not enough compared to the Turkic cavalry. The scene in the past is now being repeated with the Jin cavalry.
Yelv Mo looked at the countless soldiers who were beheaded by the dragon enemy and hurriedly waved the command flag in his hand: "With the help of archers, we headed towards the phalanx without our cavalry, which was covered with arrows."
"The sword and shield soldiers came forward, the spearmen behind, and the three lines of defense spread out to block the speed of the enemy's horses and curb their advantage."
Following the order, the infantry of the Jin Kingdom army began to form a battle formation under the leadership of the captain and surrounded the Dalong soldiers who were fighting with the Jin Kingdom cavalry.
Liu Mingzhi killed the four encircling Jin cavalry with one sword. Hearing the sound of arrows piercing the air and the wails of the soldiers, he glanced in the direction of the Jin's infantry and frowned.
"Instructions were given one after another, and the charge formation spread out to entangle the enemy cavalry and fire crossbows, so that the enemy archers could not be covered by the rain of arrows. Don't be surrounded by the Jin infantry. Attack in a roundabout way, killing the cavalry and flying infantry kites at the same time.
"
"Call Jiang Lei, wait for the right opportunity and fire at me at the Jin infantry phalanx. Don't be stingy with the shells. Hit as many as you can!"
"Got the order!"
As the messengers rushed in and out to convey the command, the phalanx of Dalong soldiers gradually changed their charging formation, entangled the Jin cavalry and gradually opened up the distance between them and the Jin's infantry in groups of three or five.
The Jin infantry sounded artillery fire again and was bombarded by artillery.
"Report, Commander, our cavalry are all new recruits. Their riding skills and skills are no match for the Grand Dragon Cavalry. Now our brothers have suffered heavy losses and cannot defeat the Grand Dragon's cavalry. Commander, please think of a way.
!”
Yelv Mo glanced at the sight of his own cavalry being killed one after another by the enemy, with a heartbroken look on his face.
"Send the order to the infantry to set up the Nine Palace Formation. The cavalry will withdraw and merge into the Nine Palaces Shengmen. The infantry and cavalry will coordinate to curb the advantage of the enemy dragon!"
