Chapter 557: Two Armies Attack Together

"What!" Mulehong was shocked.

Temuta and other Beidi generals also changed their expressions.

"How many people are there?" Mulehong asked anxiously.

"There are 50,000 people, and they also brought chariots." The cavalry said.

Mulehong's heart sank.

In fact, he had always been worried that the troops from Yanguan would come to support Ningcheng.

So he had been sending scouts to keep an eye on Yanguan.

After finding that Yanguan was completely silent, he attacked Ningcheng with all his strength.

Unexpectedly, they didn't keep an eye on it, just like they didn't keep an eye on the troops that suddenly seized Ningcheng.

Until this moment, he finally realized the importance of the navy.

If Beidi had a strong navy, they would not allow the army of King Yan to run rampant on the sea. They could land anywhere they wanted in Ningjindusi.

"Fight!" Mulehong held the whip tightly.

The tunnel was already built, and he was about to win, but at this time, King Yan's reinforcements arrived.

This made him extremely angry.

If he retreated, the sacrifices of the past few days and his plan would all be in vain.

If he didn't retreat, he had to stop this reinforcement and prevent them from affecting his plan to capture Ningcheng.

After weighing the pros and cons, he finally decided to attack the reinforcements of King Yan.

Otherwise, he would lose Ningcheng forever.

This order was passed to Gurtu.

Gurtu handed it to Korchin, and then to Gule and Wuyan.

Their Khan asked him to continue his unfinished task, which was to annihilate the troops of Yanguan.

The four looked at each other with solemn faces.

Their troops had already suffered heavy losses in Yanguan.

In the past six days, they participated in the attack on Ningcheng again, and suffered losses again, and their morale was already very low.

The number of soldiers was less than 150,000.

But this was the Khan's order, and they had to execute it.

They could bear the words "King of Death" on their heads.

Mobilizing troops, they lined up to the south.

Waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from Yanguan.

"General Mo, we will reach Ningcheng in ten miles."

Just as the Beidi were waiting in full battle array, a group of soldiers were slowly marching.

They were the Yanguan soldiers led by Mo Yu.

Counting the days, he left five thousand soldiers to guard Yanguan the day before yesterday, and then led his troops out of the city under the cover of darkness and marched towards Ningcheng.

In his opinion, this period of time was enough for Qin Shan to consume some of the Beidi soldiers.

It was time to join forces, attack from both inside and outside, and fight a decisive battle with Beidi in Ningcheng.

Although their number of soldiers may still be less than that of Beidi.

But their firearms are enough to offset this disadvantage.

In particular, he brought a lot of twelve-jin field artillery.

The distance of ten miles is already very clear under the telescope.

Sitting on the horse, Mo Yu could observe the movements of Ningcheng.

Now, the Beidi army is facing him in formation, obviously to deal with him.

At the same time, there are two Beidi cavalrymen coming to their two wings.

Each cavalry has about five thousand people.

"Advance in a square formation." Mo Yu gave the order with a calm demeanor.

After receiving his order, the chariots that were originally driving outside immediately moved and formed a square formation.

However, the charioteers did not immediately untie the horses pulling the chariots, but slowly moved forward in this shape.

If they needed to fight, they would immediately untie the horses, lead them into the formation, and then connect the iron chains between the chariots.

At the same time, the cavalry and infantry entered their respective square formations and advanced with the chariots.

Usually, the soldiers had practiced these during exercises, so they were also familiar with the road.

After another two miles, the Beidi cavalry arrived first.

Facing the chariot formation, the Beidi cavalry only circled outside, but did not launch an attack.

They knew that their horses could not cross these chariots and attack the soldiers in the formation.

But Mo Yu obviously did not want to be polite with these Beidi soldiers.

He ordered the entire army to shoot as long as they were within range.

So during the march, three or five soldiers lined up to shoot, and Beidi cavalrymen kept falling.

"General Mo is here."

On the top of Ningcheng, the movement in the south naturally could not be hidden from the royal palace soldiers on the city wall.

When the gunshots from the south rang out, they suddenly became energetic and seemed to forget the fatigue of the past few days.

Guan Tong pinched his waist and laughed.

Although he seemed very relaxed in front of the soldiers in the past few days, he was actually very anxious in his heart.

The ammunition was getting less and less. Once it was gone, their advantage over Beidi would be reduced a lot.

At that time, how many of these soldiers who followed him to fight would survive in the end would depend on God's will.

But now that Mo Yu is here, he feels relieved.

Those chariots can not only carry food, but also ammunition.

As long as they join forces, the problem of ammunition will be solved.

When he was excited, he saw Qin Shan coming from the north city.

Someone had already told him about the movement in the south.

"We are finally here. Now we don't have to stay in Ningcheng. We can take the initiative to attack and fight a decisive battle with Beidi." Qin Shan was excited.

Their ultimate goal is to eliminate the Beidi's living forces in Ningjindusi.

Otherwise, it would not make much sense to just occupy Ningcheng.

After a pause, he continued: "Organize 20,000 troops to set out from Nancheng and attack the Beidi army in the south from both inside and outside!"
