"Report!"

Early the next morning, I saw a scout of the Pingzhou Army coming from Pegasus, and the soldiers next to him avoided the order flag behind him, so as not to delay the military situation.

The hurried sound of the report interrupted the discussion in the big tent. The Pingzhou Army seriously lacked experience in attacking huge cities, and this battle of Touman City was a good opportunity to learn and improve. The Pingzhou army almost learned while fighting, and the heavyweight generals would summarize the gains and losses in the siege war every day and make targeted improvements.

With the passage of time, the offensive efficiency of the Pingzhou army has become higher and higher, and the cooperation between various units has become more and more orderly.

"Lord Qi, there is a heavy gathering of Xianbei troops in the eastern area of Manchester City, and it seems that they want to go out of the city to meet the battle!"

"Oh?"

Shang Ji put down a palm-sized model of a slap-sized burst torch stone cart in his hand. With a wave of his hand, the Luo Shu interpretation area in the big tent changed from a key offensive area to the entire head Manchester City.

"Where exactly are the Xianbei people assembled? What is the size of the assembly? What kind of army is it? ”

"The Admiral is offended!"

As he spoke, the scout general stepped forward, picked up a baton, and clicked on a large city gate about fifty miles away from here and said, "Lord Qiqi, the enemy army has gathered in this area, and the number of troops gathered has exceeded 500,000, and it is still increasing. At present, according to the joint reconnaissance of Qianhuan and Feifeng Fire Cavalry, the dispatched army includes all the troops including the Hun Ten Thousand Cavalry, the Remnant Wolf Soldiers, the Wolf Cavalry, the Elite Ten Thousand Cavalry, and the Cannon Fodder Ten Thousand Cavalry. ”

"Okay, hard work, order the scouts to tighten their surveillance, and report any changes immediately." After speaking, Shang Ji turned to Liu Yi and said, "Brother, give the order to let the troops on guard in that area be withdrawn." In addition, the whole army is on alert and ready to meet the enemy! ”

Because the Xianbei army went out of the city to fight in the field, it was something that Shang Ji was looking forward to, so the Pingzhou army did not engage in any means such as encircling three missing one or all-round encirclement, and the main force of the whole army was concentrated in this area, and only a few alert troops were placed in other places.

In the face of the menacing Xianbei army, a small number of vigilant troops are naturally not the opponent of the Xianbei people, in order to avoid unnecessary losses, it is best to withdraw as soon as possible.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Xianbei army went out of the city to meet the battle, what do you think they want?" Because it was discovered in time and there was plenty of time, Shang Ji was not in a hurry, and he could even refer to everyone's opinions before the war.

"My lord, the last general thinks that the Xianbei people are desperate and ruined. Our army has been attacking fiercely for days, and the city wall is already in danger, and the Xianbei people naturally know that the city wall alone cannot stop our army, and I am afraid that they will fight to the death. ”

Su Huan got up first and said.

This situation was also expected by the Pingzhou army, with the elite army in the hands of Kebineng, it was impossible to defend the city to death no matter what. In fact, it has only now begun to act, which has exceeded the expectations of the Pingzhou Army.

The Xianbei army and the Pingzhou army can still have a few percent victory rate in the decisive battle in the field, but if there is a street battle after the city is broken, the Xianbei army's chances of victory are less than one percent!

With Kebineng's shrewdness, going out of the city to fight in the field was almost the only option.

"General Su's words make sense, but we can't be careless either. According to intelligence, the total number of Xianbei troops assembled at present exceeds 500,000, and although the number of enemy troops is numerous, it is only about one-tenth of the total strength of the enemy army. ”

"Well, Feng Xiao's words are reasonable!" Shang Ji nodded, agreed with Guo Jia's opinion, and then said: "That's it, brother, you stay and continue to preside over the overall situation, and the siege mission can't be stopped." I leave Qin Ping, Kou Xian, Xu Huang, Tai Shici, and Ge Zhen to you, and I will take the remaining people to lead 500,000 troops to meet Kebineng, what do you think? ”

Liu Yi nodded solemnly, and said in a condensed voice: "My lord, rest assured, the last general will be careful to take precautions, so that the thief army has no chance." ”

"Okay, that's it, everyone will act according to the plan, and everyone will act immediately."

At the sound of the order, the army moved rapidly, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the troops that needed to fight had been assembled.

100,000 elite cavalry were selected from the Pingzhou expeditionary group, and then 100,000 regular cavalry were added as auxiliaries. Among the remaining 300,000 troops, there are 100,000 crossbowmen, and the rest are elite infantry such as heavy armored swords, heavy armored sharp spears, giant shield soldiers, and giant axe soldiers.

The 500,000 men were quickly dispatched, and under the personal leadership of Shang Ji, they formed a formation and marched forward to attack the Xianbei army.

"My lord, the Han army is moving."

With such a big move in the Pingzhou army, it is naturally impossible to hide it from the Xianbei army. A scout from the Xianbei Army walked quickly to Kebineng's side and reported excitedly.

As the overlord of the grassland, the Xianbei people have always been arrogant, but during this period of time, they were pressed and beaten in the city by the Han army whose strength was far inferior to their own, and a nameless fire had already risen in the hearts of the Xianbei people. Today, Kobi was able to give the order to fight, and many people rejoiced, thinking that it was a turning point in the war.

Kebineng nodded slowly, pulled out a golden scimitar, and shouted: "Great Xianbei warriors, use the scimitars in your hands to destroy the invaders and defend the glory of my people who draw bows!" ”

"Long live Da Xianbei!"

"Long live Lord Kobineng!"

The cheers resounded one after another in the Xianbei army, and the morale of the long-depressed army was actually greatly improved.

Seeing that the army's heart was available, Kebi nodded with satisfaction, and waved his big hand: "Open the city gate and destroy the enemy!" ”

"Woo-woo-"

The horn sounded, and the huge city gate slowly opened under the combined force of dozens of Xianbei wrestlers turning the winch.

"Kill!"

With a wave of his scimitar, the Xianbei cavalry behind him let out all kinds of strange whines, rushing past from both sides.

"Lord, the Xianbei army is out of the city!"

Qianhuan, who had been paying attention to the movement of the Xianbei people, immediately sent information. In fact, there was no need to be reminded by a thousand illusions, Shang Ji had already noticed the smoke and dust rushing into the sky in the distance, less than fifty miles away, which was a charging distance for the cavalry troops in the beacon fire.

"Attention of the whole army, the highest alert, everyone is ready for war!"

"Huh!"

After the order was given, the troops who were slowly marching suddenly stopped. The giant shield soldiers support their shields, and the pikemen raise their guns, which together form a combination of a shield wall and a gun forest.

Behind them were heavily armored knives with long knives in their hands. After the heavy armor mad knife, there are giant axe soldiers with knotted muscles, just wearing simple leather armor, and holding terrifying giant axes!

Behind the triple defense line was a full 100,000 crossbow troops, and the arrows radiated a faint blue glow in the sunlight.

The 200,000 elite cavalry was divided into three parts, 100,000 were used as strategic reserve troops under the personal leadership of Shang Ji, while the remaining 100,000 were divided into two and arranged on the left and right flanks to protect the crossbowmen troops.
