Early in the morning, five miles east of Yanhai County, in the camp of the Imperial Army, the sentry hid in the windy place and held his arms trembling, snorted and said to his companions: "It's dawn, I'll be laid off in a while, I can finally go back to sleep, I'm about to freeze to death this night, M's, the emperor of the Dongsheng Empire doesn't know what to think, it's obvious that it's not the opponent who surrenders, what's the use of consuming it like this, we are freezing here every day." ”

The other soldier was accustomed to this guy's complaints, and was about to tease a few words as usual, when he suddenly felt an unusual voice coming from in the distance, stood up, looked in the direction of Yanhai City, and then, surprised, said: "Damn, the people of the Dongsheng Empire are out of the city, alarm, ring the alarm bell quickly." ”

A few guys who were so cold that they couldn't walk were startled when they heard this, stood up and looked in the direction of Yanhai City, and then the captain led by hurriedly rang the alarm bell to warn, but knocking and knocking, the captain became confused, he thought that the other party sneaked out to plan a sneak attack, but looking at the other party's posture, it was not like it, these Dongsheng Empire troops and Dugu Zhen's rebels who had been lying in the city did not rush to attack after leaving the city, but lined up outside the city, lined up.

The sentry on the arrow tower was woken up by the sound of the alarm bell, picked up the telescope to observe the movement of the enemy, and was slightly relieved to see that the other party had no intention of sneak attack, just when the sentry was about to withdraw the cold telescope, he accidentally found that there was a large piece of smoke and dust flying up in the west of Yanhai City, and he took a curious look, and suddenly the souls of the dead were rising, and he was frightened by the face that was already frozen pale without a trace of blood.

Rather the commander of the empire heard the alarm bell and hurriedly got up and dressed, and the herald reported everything found by the sentry in front to the commander as quickly as possible: "General, it's not good, almost all the defenders of Yanhai City have gone out of the city to prepare for battle, and from the west, there are still a large number of men and horses coming, the number is unknown, according to the observation of the sentinels, the number will not be less than that of the defenders of Yanhai City." ”

The commander of the Rather Empire is named Han Ji, a veritable No. 1 military general of the Rather Empire, not only has strong personal combat effectiveness, but also excellent battlefield command and tactical planning.

Han Ji frowned and asked, "They called?" ”

The herald shook his head: "No, they are very strange, they have no intention of attacking, they are lining up outside the city." ”

Han Ji thought for a while and said, "But they are waiting for the reinforcements to converge, and the order will go down, the forward troops will go out of the camp and array, and the Chinese army will prepare to fight." ”

After Han Ji gave the order, he grabbed the saber, took a kind of personal guard out of the tent, got on the horse and went straight to the main gate of the camp, he wanted to see with his own eyes what the other party was fighting, as for whether the other party was going to counterattack, he didn't care, his subordinates would rather have 150,000 elites of the empire, and he knew that even if all the Dongzhou troops who could fight well arrived here, the number of people would not be the same as their own, and they were relying on the big camp to wait for work, and the other party would have to pay a greater price if they wanted to attack it, which was not a wise move. He believed that Tang Jian, the main general of Dongzhou, should not make such a low-level mistake, of course, just in case, Han Ji still sent the forward troops out of the camp to line up, in case the other party was really mad, there was a little low-grade forward troops to rest easy.

Not long after, the forward troops came out of the barracks and defended in front of the camp, and the main force of the Chinese army was also ready to fight at any time. And the other side has more men and horses than expected, could it be that they really transferred all the Dongzhou Army here? Then they don't care about the Yuan and the empire? With the troops of other states and counties of the Dongsheng Empire alone, I am afraid that they will not be able to stop the army of the Yuanhe Empire, could it be that something happened to the Yuanhe Empire?

Han Ji was puzzled, and the guards beside him exclaimed, "General, look at the sky." ”

Han Ji frowned slightly, he didn't like to make a fuss the most, glared at the guard, and planned to replace him when he went back, but when he looked at the sky opposite, the whole person was stunned, what was that, it didn't look like a bird: "Archer alert." Han Ji ordered, and then snatched the telescope in the hands of the guards to check those strange things in the sky.

Closer, closer, when Han Ji was sure that those were not birds but some kind of strange flying machine that could carry people into the sky, his face became very ugly, very unsightly, and he no longer had the calmness of the past, and stared blankly at the flying cluster in the sky. Different from the stunned soldiers of the Rather Empire, although the soldiers of the Dongsheng Empire also looked up curiously, they were not the slightest frightened in their hearts, but full of excitement, these are the secret troops of the Empire, are these the rumored Tianyao Air Force?

At this time, a different color airship in Yanhai City rose into the air, adjusted slightly, and slowly flew to the air force flagship Zifeng to levitate, the heavy cavalry of the Tiger Roar Legion at the front of the ground array cheered in unison after seeing this airship, raised the weapons in their hands and waved them indiscriminately, saluting their own legion commander, General Chang Xun, driven by these guys, the officers and soldiers of other units also cheered loudly, and their morale reached their peak, and they were no two for a while. Tang Jian sat on horseback, looked at Chang Xun's Dawn in the sky with envy, and said sourly: "Airship, I also have it, but I just can't open it, Old Man Chang, you wait, next time I will definitely not let you steal the limelight." ”

Han Ji's eyes were solemn, and after a little muttering, he ordered again: "Order the Chinese army to go out of the camp and line up, and distribute shields to the soldiers." Han Ji's idea was that although these things flying in the sky were strange, at most they were just shooting arrows, and as long as they used a shield to protect their heads, they were not without the power to fight.

No wonder Han Ji thinks so, if anyone else is a person, he may not be able to figure out the means of attack of these things for a while, it is quite good that he can make such a judgment in such a short time, but he made a fatal mistake, that is, to let the Chinese army out of the camp and line up.

The battle formations in the era of cold weapons are basically dense formations, and a bunch of people get together, either defending or attacking, this is common sense, and it is also the best and most effective way that has been continuously verified, but it is also such inertial thinking that has cost the lives of many officers and soldiers of the Rather Empire.

Dugu Zhen looked up at the dense airship in the sky, his heart was full of mixed feelings, there were joys, but also worries, looked at the injured Wuhua around him, pondered for a long time, and finally did not speak, he thought about Wuhua's proposal, if it succeeded, in the future, he would rather the empire rise in his own hands, but once it failed, the consequences were unbearable for him, so he could not make up his mind.

On the Purple Wind, Yuan Fang was not in a hurry at all, and waited with a smile for the other party's brigade to come out of the camp and line up, he wished that the more people from the other party came out, the better: "Jingqiu, pass the order, wait for the formation of five planes, divide into two echelons to advance in parallel, and bomb intensively." ”
