After the rebels fired back with a hail of arrows, they began to retreat one after another.
Liu Mingzhi stood on the high platform and sighed in despair: "Don't you look stupid? You know the limitations of the terrain and you can't swarm them, otherwise you will be a living target for your own side."
"Send the order to carry the injured soldiers down for treatment, and the reserves will be replenished immediately."
Some soldiers in the Longmen Formation began to rush to rescue the wounded.
"Brothers, you see, the 400,000 rebels are nothing but chickens and dogs. They are completely vulnerable. Do you have the confidence to defeat the enemy?"
Liu Mingzhi promptly boosted the morale of the 70,000-strong army.
The messenger immediately conveyed Liu Mingzhi's words in the language of the Kingdom of Jin.
Immediately there were shouts that shook the heavens and the earth from the Longmen formation. The morale was high and the fighting spirit was furious.
The 70,000 people who were still panicking before had harvested the victory of tens of thousands of rebels with a wave of arrows, which had already made them fanatical.
"Quiet, the second wave of attacks is coming soon. You must follow your flag bearer's orders carefully. Changes in attack and defense cannot be ignored."
The messenger conveyed Liu Mingzhi's words.
After all, they were the imperial guards guarding the imperial city. Their military appearance was extraordinary. After a while, the Longmen formation fell silent.
Liu Mingzhi frowned and looked at the rebels in the mirror.
The reason why they were able to achieve such a victory just now is inseparable from the rebels' eagerness for quick success.
Now that they know the disadvantages of the terrain, it is impossible to kill the rebels like harvesting wheat, and the next battle will be difficult.
"King Jinsha, it's all you. If it weren't for you, how could tens of thousands of my king's soldiers be killed by arrows? You deserve to die."
Wanyan Kemu looked at Jin Wutu angrily, wishing he could eat him.
"Your men were killed by a hail of arrows, while thousands of my soldiers were swallowed up by the swamps? If they didn't die on the way to the charge, I, the king, should be more angry."
"That's what you asked for. I told you that I would take the lead. Why didn't you discuss it with me and then rushed forward and occupied all the space? How can we fight if we can't open up the formation?"
"You took the lead in the charge because you thought you were the one who agreed to it. You can't blame me. Don't think that I don't know what crooked ideas you are thinking."
"Okay, noisy, noisy, noisy, I have told you a long time ago not to be careless and despise the enemy. It's okay now. You have to suffer a big loss to understand. Why did you do it in the first place if you had known this."
Wanyan Lie looked at the two of them with gloomy expressions, but there was a hint of joy in his eyes that flashed away.
The more people who belong to King Yi of Jinsha lose, it means that it is more and more beneficial to them.
"Second brother, what do you think we should do? I estimate that the terrain in the northwest of the capital can accommodate up to 150,000 people. If it is any more, it will become a swamp."
Wanyan Lie pointed at the map and frowned: "Who is this Liu Shu? His tactics are so shrewd, and relying on the dangerous swamps, our army can't open up the formation at all."
King Jinsha pondered for a while: "King Jinding, in my opinion, it would be enough to send a team of troops to attack the city. The troops in the city must be extremely empty now, and they will not be able to resist for long."
"No, as long as the hundreds of thousands of Xiong Shang's troops are still there, what can we do if we invade the capital? As long as we can't get the imperial seal, we won't be able to order the officials of the various state capitals of the Jin Kingdom."
"Enter the city, capture that little girl Wanyan, and force the defenders outside the city to surrender."
"Second brother, this is a good idea. Let's allocate 30% of our troops to attack the city, and the remaining troops and horses will support the defenders outside the city."
"That's a good idea. How do we fight? Or should we form a team of three?"
"Of course."
Jinsha, Wang Yi and Wang said in unison.
"Okay, let's discuss it and start attacking the city."
Within half a stick of incense, the horn sounded again in the rebel camp, and the signal to attack came again.
Liu Mingzhi looked stern, holding the flag in his hand and waving it back and forth a few times: "Start the formation."
After a while, a large-scale rebel force in the southwest of the capital began to slowly approach the Longmen Formation. The leader turned out to be a pair of cavalry, numbering tens of thousands of people, covering the infantry of various configurations and began to attack.
Liu Mingzhi waved the command flag in his hand, and the formation began to change. The sword and shield hand squatted down in the middle to protect, and the spearmen and halberdiers at the head and tail began to change their formation.
It's no joke that hundreds of cavalry can cover thousands of people.
But Liu Mingzhi didn't panic at all. On his left were the north and west walls of the capital, and on his right was the swamp that stretched for dozens of miles.
The terrain is so narrow that the cavalry cannot take advantage of it.
The reason why the cavalry is so powerful lies in the impact of the galloping horses. If they were all cavalry and there were no infantry, Liu Mingzhi might be a little panicked, but to cover a large number of infantry, the terrain has already limited the strength of the cavalry.
The command flag in hand is raised high, and as soon as the distance is reached, the arrow can be released immediately.
Long-range strikes are Liu Mingzhi's favorite method. Those who can use bows and arrows try not to use swords.
Suddenly, the rumble of war drums sounded on the city wall, and Liu Mingzhi was suddenly surprised. He didn't expect that the rebels had divided their forces to attack the city.
This is the worst outcome that Liu Mingzhi expected. Now that he is too busy to take care of himself, he can only pray to the Queen's people to persist a little longer.
After taking a quick look at the sky, Liu Mingzhi estimated that the Huyan tribe's cavalry would be arriving soon, and they would definitely give the rebels a thunderous blow.
It's just that outside the city, you can only rely on yourself. It seems that the crossbow catapult at the top of the city can't help you.
The flag was waved violently several times in succession.
As soon as the gate of the array was opened, the archers quickly released arrows and shot towards the rebels.
As expected, the effect was minimal. The rebels who had opened up their formation and were covered by sword and shield bearers were only killed by arrows. Only a few hundred people were killed.
The rebel cavalry, led by the three commanders, began to accelerate and attack towards the Longmen Formation.
Liu Mingzhi drew his bow from left to right, and instantly came up with a countermeasure in his mind. Ling Qi conveyed orders to the five Song and Qing people from time to time.
The five people from the Song and Qing Dynasties waved the flags in their hands without hesitation.
As soon as the formation gate changed, the dragon's tail, dragon's head, and dragon's belly crisscrossed and covered each other.
In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of rebel cavalry had rushed towards us.
As soon as the command flag was waved, the 10,000 soldiers from the three gates of the formation retreated from a gap, and the formation's strongholds were revealed.
The vanguard of the rebel cavalry, who had no time to stop their horses, suddenly fell over and died in a miserable state.
The following war horses rushed into the gate of the formation and began to rush over the corpses.
Upon seeing this, Liu Mingzhi waved the formation flag and instantly conveyed it to the Song and Qing people. The Song and Qing people did not hesitate and began to convey the order to change the formation to the guards below.
As expected by Liu Mingzhi, the impact of the cavalry at such a distance was negligible, and even the shield soldiers' protection did not break through.
As soon as the cavalry entered the formation, they were divided into five square formations by the sudden change of the dragon gate formation.
The sword and shield soldiers covered the cavalry's sabers, and the spearmen directly surrounded and killed the cavalry on the horses through the gaps in the shields. At the same time, the halberdiers swung their dragon heads and began to stab the horses' necks, causing screams one after another, which was shocking.
There were screams from both our own side and the rebels, and it was impossible to tell who was who.
At the same time, the formation changed, and the sword and shield soldiers covered by the dragon's claws quickly changed their formation. The ten thousand swordsmen in the dragon's belly surrounded the cavalry who fell off the horse and began to chop them down.
Flesh and blood were everywhere, and almost all of them were dead.
"vomit"
Liu Mingzhi vomited everything in his stomach into the jar he had prepared. He didn't even bother to wipe the dirt from the corners of his mouth. He immediately waved his flag and prepared to change his formation to meet the rebel infantry.
The most important thing in the Dragon Gate Formation is the formation platform at the center of the formation. If there is a problem with your command, the Dragon Gate Formation will fall apart and be defeated.
