Chapter 431 Veteran's Edge

"Move all your troops to the south to resist the Xiliang soldiers, and leave the Beidi to the imperial guards!"

In the middle of the army, Yang Feng said to Dou Xiao and Han Yun. Read

This time, he arranged the troops of the powerful families on the periphery and the imperial guards in the middle.

This time, the Beidi army came in an overwhelming manner.

After a rough survey, there were at least 300,000 people.

In addition, there were 100,000 Beidi troops coming out of Xiaoguan.

Beidi sent four king tents to the northwest battlefield, and the number of troops reached an unprecedented 400,000.

That year, Beidi attacked Ningjindusi with only this number.

However, this was only the Beidi's troops.

In Yongcheng, Xiliang also stockpiled a lot of troops.

In addition, Ma Jin's troops and Xiliang soldiers who escaped from Xiancheng were also added, with a total of 200,000.

In this way, the enemy troops gathered in the Yongcheng battlefield alone amounted to 500,000.

The Xiao family's troops were repelled by the Beidi army coming out of Xiaoguan.

The Ma family troops were blocked by Xiliang in Xiangcheng and could not move forward.

After a series of battles, the isolated Northern Expedition Army had less than 400,000 soldiers.

They were already at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. How could they resist the brave Beidi and Xiliang troops of 500,000?

That was why he asked Zhao Heng to withdraw to Xiancheng.

Otherwise, once defeated, under the siege of Beidi cavalry, the emperor would never be able to escape.

"Yang Feng, you are so cruel!" Dou Xiao said.

This time, the soldiers of the powerful clan completely became the meat shield of the imperial army.

After a fight, the soldiers of the powerful clan may have lost 30%.

Han Yun's heart was also bleeding, "From now on, my Han family and you Yang Feng will not coexist."

"Hahaha..." Yang Feng laughed, not caring at all.

It is still unknown whether he can survive this battle.

Seeing that Yang Feng did not take their threats seriously, Dou Xiao and Han Yun snorted angrily, and each dispatched troops to gather the scattered soldiers.

In order to prevent further defeat, the two sent out the supervision team.

The Shi clan soldiers who were fleeing madly to the south stopped immediately when they saw the supervision team holding up the shining long swords.

The generals of the Shi clan army took the opportunity to reorganize the soldiers and convey new orders.

Knowing that they were going to the south to resist Xiliang, the Shi clan soldiers were relieved.

After all, they had defeated Xiliang all the way, so Xiliang was far less terrifying than Beidi in their eyes.

Especially facing the charging Beidi cavalry, they were simply unable to resist.

"Huh?"

On the hill, Mule Hongzhen, who was watching the battle, exclaimed.

The Dasong army, which had been in disarray, gradually became orderly again.

While they were resisting the impact of the Beidi cavalry, they gathered from both sides to the south and threw themselves into the fight with Xiliang.

Only soldiers wearing silver armor were left on the battlefield.

In front of these silver armored soldiers was a row of objects covered with black cloth.

At this time, the silver armored soldiers lifted the black cloth.

Although the distance was far, he could tell what it was just by its appearance and was shocked.

"Yang Feng!" Mulehong gritted his teeth. Now he finally understood the tactics of this veteran general of Dasong.

I'm afraid that just like the servants sent out by Beidi first, Yang Feng first used the soldiers of the Shi clan as meat shields to consume Beidi soldiers and ammunition.

When the Shi clan soldiers were scattered, he sent them to the south of the army to resist Xiliang to prevent being attacked from the back.

While he was thinking, he saw a burst of white smoke and fire on the battlefield.

The Dasong Imperial Army took action.

"Boom boom boom..."

On the battlefield, the Beidi soldiers were chasing the scattered Dasong soldiers.

At this time, the scattered soldiers gathered on both wings.

And the silver-armored soldiers were left in the middle to wait for the battle.

In the moment when they were stunned, they saw the artillery coming out and a loud noise came.

Then, a large number of soldiers in the charging Beidi army fell down, and screams rang out.

Some Beidi soldiers were hit in the head and became headless corpses.

Seeing this, the Beidi soldiers slowed down their charge.

Just when they were in doubt, a loud noise sounded again.

"Boom boom boom..."

Countless black dots fell into the Beidi army like raindrops, and a large number of Beidi soldiers died tragically.

In the middle of the imperial army, Yang Feng stood on the generals' platform.

This generals' platform has four wheels below, and two wooden platforms on top, with ladders leading to it.

Before entering Qinzhou, this generals' platform was ready.

All the way to Yongcheng, this generals' platform was also pushed here.

From the generals' platform, he could observe the entire battlefield.

Seeing that the Beidi servants who were charging over slowed down their pace, Yang Feng nodded gently.

This time the imperial army brought 180 artillery pieces.

Seventy-two of them retreated with Zhao Heng, leaving 108 artillery pieces.

After the war started, he arranged these artillery pieces on the east, west and north sides of the imperial army.

There were the most artillery pieces in the north, with 68 pieces.

Now these 68 artillery pieces were pouring grapeshot at the Beidi army.

As the rain of bullets flew by, the Beidi soldiers fell down like grass in a storm.

Then, he looked at the two wings.

He arranged spearmen on the two wings. At this time, facing the harassment of the Beidi cavalry on the two wings, the spearmen formed a forest of spears and continued to fight with the Beidi cavalry.

At present, the charge of the Beidi heavy cavalry has been stopped.

Although the Beidi arrows fell into the imperial army formation and caused continuous casualties, they were much smaller than the losses suffered by the powerful soldiers.

"The armor and weapons forged by the King of Yan are indeed excellent." Yang Feng exclaimed.

But his face immediately became very serious again.

Even so, he knew very well that this could only allow him to hold on for a little longer.

More and more Beidi cavalrymen circled around from the north to the two wings and surrounded them.

"Take back the artillery of the Shi clan!" Yang Feng ordered.

The Shi clan soldiers were defeated, but the artillery was still in front of the imperial army.

After receiving his order, the general took advantage of the moment when the Beidi soldiers were defeated and immediately ordered the front-row imperial soldiers to attack.

The soldiers wearing scale armor ran out, pulled the artillery back to the army, and rearranged the artillery.

At the same time, the artillerymen who were originally reserved for reserve came forward to take over the abandoned artillery.

"Boom boom boom..."

The imperial soldiers had just taken over the artillery when they suddenly heard a burst of artillery fire.

This time it was not the imperial army's artillery, but the Beidi artillery, and they fought back.

Solid bullets fell around the artillery, and some artillerymen were hit and died on the spot.

"Switch to solid bullets!" the commander of the Imperial Army's artillery shouted.

In the first round of confrontation, the Shi clan's artillery took advantage of the Beidi soldiers pulling the artillery into formation and took the initiative to destroy dozens of Beidi's artillery.

But the Beidi artillery was numerous, and after the counterattack, the Shi clan also lost dozens of artillery.

Now that these artillery have been taken back, plus the artillery of the Imperial Army, he believes that it is basically the same as the artillery brought by Beidi this time.

"Call the reserve artillery of your Shi clan to be on standby at any time, and the next battle will be a real fierce battle." Yang Feng said coldly.

Dou Xiao and Han Yun sighed heavily after hearing this.
