Liu Mingzhi looked at the approaching scouts and looked at Zhou Baoyu, and they could see the solemnity in each other's eyes.
Gan Liang was waiting for Dongfang Ming to finally lead his troops to the capital to rescue King Qin.
"Continue investigating!"
"Got the order!"
The scout Juechen left, and Zhou Baoyu looked at Liu Mingzhi solemnly.
"Commander, Xiaoguowei General Dongfang Ming is my old superior officer, and his military ability is definitely not much worse than that of General Nangong.
I'm afraid the cost of our attack on the city will increase this time."
Liu Mingzhi was silent for a while and pretended to smile casually: "It doesn't matter, it's something that was expected. We have already prepared a plan in advance to deal with the 50,000 elite troops under General Dongfang."
"Oh? How does the commander plan to deal with the troops under General Dongfang?"
"You will lead 50,000 cavalry to prevent them from approaching the capital. With 50,000 cavalry against 50,000 infantry, it should not be a big problem for you."
Zhou Baoyu hesitated for a while and nodded hesitantly: "Fifty thousand cavalry versus fifty thousand infantry, I am completely sure about this, but what should you do here, Commander?
If you allocate another 50,000 troops, the siege force will have to be reduced by part. I'm afraid it will delay your planned siege period.
Alas, Marshal, you shouldn't have left the troops of King Gumo and the coalition forces from the Western Regions in the northern border. If you had summoned them to come together, our attack on the city would probably not be so stressful."
"You don't have to worry about me, you just have to deal with the troops under General Dongfang with all your strength."
"Commander, are you sure?"
"Make sure, let the brothers bring enough food and grass, and be sure to entangle the soldiers and horses under General Dongfang's command.
If it really comes to a point of necessity...you...have full discretion..."
Zhou Baoyu pondered for a while, then nodded with a wry smile.
"The general understands!"
"Go ahead. Once the city gate is breached, I will have someone give you orders right away!"
"I will finally retire!"
Zhou Baoyu left the formation and went to the rear to order troops. Liu Mingzhi also whispered a few instructions to the soldiers and hurried towards the northwest corner of the city.
Nangong Ye, who had sneaked out of the capital, was commanding the soldiers and horses under his command, trying his best to fend off Chu Jing, and sealed the four battalions of soldiers and horses from Bu'er and the two together.
It was clear that our own side had ten thousand more troops than the enemy, but Nangong Ye looked through the mirror at the battle situation where both sides' troops had been lost to 50 to 50, and his frown had not relaxed since the battle.
The same tactics, the same elite soldiers who have fought in hundreds of battles, the soldiers and horses of both sides rushed together, and the cavalry under the King's command suddenly reversed the disadvantage of ten thousand soldiers and horses due to the superiority of the military equipment.
The fifth battalion of cavalry under Nangong Ye met the same fate as the Turkic cavalry.
That is, after the weapons of both sides were knocked off their horses by the impact, their own troops could only passively dodge the enemy's offensive, while the opposite troops quickly drew out their spare swords and immediately pursued the victory.
When the other abilities are not much different, whether one has a weapon or not, the outcome of the battle is obvious.
"My lord, we can't continue like this. The new army officers are equipped with two sharp swords. As long as our generals are exhausted and use the swords, they will only be greeted by the weapons offered by the new army officers."
Nangong Ye stared at the soldiers and horses from both sides fighting each other, and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"What can I do, general? Even if the Ministry of War goes all out to allocate spare weapons to us, do you think the officers and soldiers of the new army on the opposite side will give our brothers under my command a chance to receive weapons?"
"Report to the general, two groups of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared in the west of the city and rushed towards the front battlefield. There are about 20,000 people. I don't know where they came from!"
Nangong Ye looked at the anxiously approaching scouts and quickly raised his telescope to look southwest.
Two cloud dragons billowing with smoke and dust were charging towards the battlefield several miles away. Nangong Ye looked at the flags of the two soldiers and horses, with a flash of surprise and panic in his eyes.
The banner of the Six Guards of the New Army.
Isn't King Bingjian going all out to attack the city? How come there is still time to mobilize 20,000 troops?
"Report to the general, two groups of unknown soldiers and horses are rushing towards our army's formation. They can rush to the battlefield in just a cup of tea."
Nangong Ye immediately changed direction and looked towards the capital with his telescope.
However, except for the thick smoke that shot straight into the sky, there was no movement. Suddenly, Nangong Ye's expression changed dramatically.
"No, I've fallen into the trap of luring the troops to attack the east and the west side by side. Send the order to the soldiers. Immediately call for gold and withdraw the troops and evacuate the battlefield!"
"Got the order!"
"The general has an order, please withdraw your troops and withdraw from the battlefield!"
"The general has an order, please withdraw your troops and withdraw from the battlefield!"
The second loud sound of gold foil resounded under Nangong Ye's general banner. The soldiers of the Sixth Guards who were fighting in a melee with the new army soldiers immediately turned around and looked for an opportunity to leave the battlefield.
However, in a chaotic battlefield, it is not so easy to suddenly want to evacuate, and the New Army officers and soldiers will not give them this opportunity.
Seeing that the enemy's soldiers and horses were ready to withdraw, their morale immediately increased, and they pursued the enemy soldiers and horses with their swords waving.
The soldiers of the new army, who were already red-eyed, had already forgotten that the soldiers and horses on the opposite side were their former robes.
All friendship ceased to exist the moment the sword was raised.
The only solution is to kill.
The opportunity for the cavalry of the Six Guards to evacuate had been tightly delayed by the new army officers. In the time it took them to drink tea, they were greeted by two battalions of cavalry led by Ning Chao.
With the addition of Ning Chao and others, the new army officers not only had an advantage in military equipment, but also in strength.
Under Nangong Ye's red eyes, the situation on the battlefield once again became a bit more tragic.
The soldiers and horses on both sides were red-eyed and instinctively charged in under the leadership of the flag-bearer.
A fight between the elites of a hundred battles and the elites of a hundred battles was staged tragically under the afterglow of the setting sun.
The soldiers and horses of both sides were fighting bloody battles. The corpses floating on the battlefield were full of blood. The blood on the armor's blades was redder than the sunset on the horizon.
Nangong Ye's turbid eyes flashed with tears. He withdrew his eyes from the increasingly tragic battlefield and looked up at the setting sun on the horizon like blood: "Brothers are killing each other, brothers are killing each other! God, you don't open your eyes!"
"
"Command soldiers, continue to call for gold and withdraw troops, and order brothers to evacuate the battlefield as soon as possible."
"Got the order!"
The sound of huge gold foil echoed continuously in the wilderness northwest of the capital, causing the bloody battle between soldiers and horses on both sides to slow down involuntarily.
In the end, they all followed the command flags of their respective flag bearers and stopped at the edge of the central battlefield, staring at each other in silence for a long time.
In the center of the battlefield, ownerless horses neighed, and blood stained the earth red.
The weapons and flags rolled on the ground, surrounded by lifeless corpses and wounded people moaning in pain.
This fierce battle that lasted for half a day was much more tragic and tragic than the battle that took place on the battlefields of Jin and Turkmenistan.
Because the corpses lying on the ground and the casualties were brothers of life and death who fought side by side in the past.
The soldiers on both sides lowered their heads tacitly, looking at the weapons dripping with blood, feeling sad and sorrowful.
The helpless military encounter left tens of thousands of passionate men who fought decisively with red eyes.
