Chapter 2600: Intercepting the Invasion
It was still dark in the early morning, and the martial arts school Qianhu Institute began to receive breakfast.
After receiving breakfast, Tudou and his colleagues from the Xiaoqi Department squatted in a circle to eat.
He couldn't wait. Ten days had passed since the first day of repairs. The weather was getting colder. If he didn't start, he would have to wait until spring next year.
Gradually there were complaints in the army. Everyone felt that the coalition forces were no match and were eager to make meritorious deeds.
"Sir Fang, what are we doing here all the time? What are Your Majesty and the others thinking?"
In martial arts, they can call Tudou by his famous name, but now is wartime, and they must abide by military rules.
Tudou was also a little confused, but he firmly believed that his father would not just sit back and let the opportunity disappear.
"Assemble! All troops assemble!"
Tudou stuffed the remaining pancake into his mouth, drank the soup, got up and ran away.
"gather!"
The shouts of the officers were followed by the blowing of horns.
Amid the desolate horn sounds, various ministries began to gather.
Tudou stood in the queue nervously, and then looked at the dozens of riders coming in front.
"That's Your Majesty!"
Someone whispered, and then the officer walked over and slapped him.
The array fell silent.
The emperor came alone on horseback and reached the front of the array.
"nice weather."
The emperor looked up at Yudubai in the distance and said something irrelevant.
Then he looked at the array and said: "For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, I will not retreat. Soldiers..."
His voice gradually became louder, and he said sternly: "Soldiers, do you dare to trample on the enemy with my horse! Go forward with all your might!"
The early morning drowsiness dissipated in an instant. Tudou raised his arms and shouted: "Long live your Majesty!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
The cheers were deafening, the emperor turned around on his horse, and Zhang Fu shouted: "Get out!"
The sky was dark and the team set off in silence.
Silence is not fear, but accumulation of emotions.
…
"King, Akito's rangers are starting to go crazy!"
Meergan, who was having breakfast, received the news, took a sip of tea, then held the hilt of the dagger at his waist and murmured: "At the beginning of fate, who will win?"
Mero also received the news, and he silently began to prepare weapons.
He almost appeared outside the big tent with Miergan.
The atmosphere is majestic!
Miergan's face was slightly red, and he felt that this moment was the peak of his life.
The soldiers had already gathered, and countless war horses were neighing softly and then being comforted.
"Akito is here!"
Miergan's voice was particularly clear in the early hours of the morning.
He still held the dagger his father used to commit suicide, with keen eyesight.
"We must defeat them, then rush into Akito's border wall, plunder, and enslave them!"
Someone brought his war horse.
After Mie'ergan mounted his horse, he drew his dagger and shouted: "For all this, let us win!"
"Victory! Victory! Victory!"
"out!"
Meergan rode his horse forward slowly, his guards following behind.
Immediately, countless soldiers began to form a team.
…
The entire grassland was now a battlefield, with countless scouts and rangers fighting.
The black thorn shot through the middle like a sharp blade, and no one could stop it.
Their weapons are sophisticated, and they have special long-range crossbows. Each time, they cover a wave of crossbow arrows, and then take advantage of the enemy's confusion to attack.
After killing an enemy cavalry, Wang Yan saw a large group of enemy cavalry coming from the distance and said: "Go back!"
"Sir, there are scouts on the left!"
Wang Yan turned his head and looked, and saw more than a hundred mounted Ming troops running wildly in front of him on the left.
He rode towards them, and the Black Thorns sent out more than two hundred men to intercept the enemies who were chasing them.
"What kind of enemy situation?"
Wang Yan walked side by side with the leading Baihu officer. The Baihu officer took one look at him and recognized him as the Qianhu officer from the elite army beside the emperor, and said: "There are a large number of enemy troops on the left wing!"
"How many people are there?"
"More than thirty thousand!"
Wang Yan turned around and shouted: "Go and find out the enemy's situation!"
Chen Deng personally led his men back to attack.
Wang Yan galloped all the way with this official of hundreds of households.
On the grassland, both the enemy and ourselves were fighting. The Black Thorns were cleaning up all the way. When he saw the main force advancing, Wang Yan led hundreds of officers and went straight to the Chinese army.
"Your Majesty! Enemy troops are on the left wing!"
Zhu Zhanji's eyes were slightly cold and he said, "Whose person?"
Wang Yan said: "Your Majesty, I have sent someone to investigate."
Zhu Zhanji squinted at the front and said, "What do you mean by wanting us to divide our forces?"
There is a difference between the main force and the partial force. The main force is to fight head-on, while the partial division is flexible and can adjust its plan according to the battle situation.
If a 30,000-strong partial force appeared during a stalemate, it would be a surprise attack.
The scouts kept reporting back on the enemy's distance, and time was running out.
Zhu Zhanji put down the telescope and said to Fang Xing, "Uncle Xinghe..."
Fang Xing cupped his fists and said, "I only need 20,000 troops to intercept the enemy."
Zhu Zhanji actually gave Fang Xing the task of intercepting the enemy's partial division, which surprised everyone.
In everyone's eyes, Fang Xing is Zhu Zhanji's representative in the army. Before the war, he should be by Zhu Zhanji's side and give him confidence.
Zhu Zhanji took a deep look at Fang Xing and said, "Take the Jubaoshan Guards, Xuanwu Guards and Suzaku Guards with you, and add 10,000 cavalry."
During the National War, even one more hundred-household station was a decisive factor in many cases, so Fang Xing felt that it was a bit too much.
Zhu Zhanji nodded to him, "Take care!"
Fang Xing took a deep breath and shouted, "Follow me!"
With the flag waving, Fang Xing took the lead and rushed out.
He knew what the emperor meant by letting him go.
It's not suspicion, but he wants him to quickly deal with his opponent and then flank the main enemy force.
Chen De shouted: "Xuanwu Guards, follow us!"
Song Jianran's heart was agitated and he shouted: "Follow me."
Twenty-five thousand men and ten thousand cavalry will be the mobile force in Fang Xing's hands.
The tall wheels of the artillery are quite convenient on the grassland, and the movement is not affected.
Fang Xing led his army and quickly disappeared into the vast grassland on the left front. A moment later, a large-scale cavalry appeared directly in front.
"The enemy has arrived!"
The enemy's rangers began to attack, and the two sides began a strangulation battle at the center line.
"Aren't you going to start a war if you don't have lunch?"
Zhang Fu used his binoculars to search for the enemy's movements, and gradually became confused.
"Check out the situation!"
A guard tower had been erected, and a sergeant with good eyesight was observing from it.
"Get ready!"
The ministries began to form their teams and inspect their weapons.
"so many people!"
The lookout post was observing the enemy troops with telescopes, and then counting the number of enemy troops.
Ten thousand people are boundless, not to mention an army of more than one hundred thousand, so calculations are very difficult and can only be estimated.
As the enemy slowly approached, the lookout posts were constantly recalculating.
But in the end, he still couldn't see how many people there were because he still wasn't standing high enough and couldn't see far enough.
"******"
When they were five miles apart, the coalition forces stopped.
The rangers and scouts from both sides began to return, each preparing to fight.
"They are all cavalry! The flesh charms are fifty thousand, and the rest of the Harlequins are...more than eighty thousand!"
The sun came out and some of the fog gradually dissipated.
The coalition forces began to expand forward, and the lookout post was able to see the approximate number of people.
"almost."
There are 150,000 enemy troops. This is the result of Fang Xing's many investigations in advance. At this moment, the number of people is not much different. Even if there is a deviation, don't forget that people must stay in the camp to avoid being attacked by the Ming army.
"Your Majesty, the enemy forces have begun."
Zhang Fu kept introducing the situation.
"The enemy troops are in formation, Your Majesty. They will launch a tentative attack later. Our army must fight them back resolutely!"
