With the torch lit, this big flag is extremely bright in the night sky.
Master Shen took a deep breath and pulled out the sword Li Mu gave him from his waist. As the sword was slowly unsheathed, Master Shen stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "Brothers!"
"Gone are the days when people sat on our heads and shit on us!"
"Today, there are three thousand of us!"
"There are only three thousand people in Qi!"
"With the same number of people, why do they dare to charge at our military formation!"
Shen Yi took a deep breath and said angrily: "In the early years, when we wiped out the Japanese pirates, it was like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. Now we will do the same when facing the Japanese!"
"Join me and draw your sword to face the enemy!"
At this time, most of the soldiers in the Huai'an army were not members of the original anti-Japanese army and had never fought against the Japanese pirates in the southeast.
However, whether it is this vanguard army, the left army or the right army, most of the generals of more than 100 households in these three armies were originally from the anti-Japanese army!
If you look closely at more than 1,000 households, this proportion will only be higher!
Following Shen Yi's angry shout, almost all the generals present were aroused and followed Shen Yi, drawing their swords out of their sheaths.
in this era…
No, it should be said that in all eras, morale can play a decisive role on the battlefield!
Even in another world where the quality of weapons determines victory or defeat on the battlefield, there are many precedents of relying on morale to hold off the opponent for a long time and finally achieve victory.
What's more, the Huai'an army at this time is no worse than the Qi people!
The Huai'an Army has almost never suffered a defeat since its formation. At this time, no matter in terms of morale or psychological factors, they will not be afraid of the Qi people!
What's more, the Qi people that Shen Yi is facing now are no longer the Qi people from seventy years ago!
As Shen Yi shouted, facing the heavy cavalry and light cavalry of Northern Qi, the three thousand Huai'an troops present began to form an orderly formation and pressed towards them.
At this time, the Qi army had no time to retreat and carry out the next round of charge.
Although Shen Yi did not take the lead, he was always in the military formation, holding the long sword tightly in his hand.
To be honest, since Mr. Shen ascended to a high position, he has rarely faced this kind of situation again.
Especially at the beginning of this year, after the Huai'an Army carried out another round of expansion and reached 100,000 soldiers, Shen Yi would not only never face this situation again, but it would also be difficult for him to see the battlefield.
One hundred thousand soldiers and horses.
This number may not sound very impressive in the novel.
In fact, a force of this size is almost the top of the world's military leadership!
You know, the total number of the Jiankang Forbidden Army did not exceed 200,000!
But the Jiankang Forbidden Army was not an army! It was divided into five camps, also known as the Five Military Camps.
How powerful was the Zhao family back then? The youngest daughter of the Zhao family even dared to whip Shen Yi, a newly promoted Jinshi, at Jiming Temple. However, not only did the Zhao family not receive any punishment afterwards, the court even rewarded their family as an appeasement!
Back then, the Zhao clan had less than 100,000 troops.
It was not until later that the war between the two countries broke out, that the Zhao family made up for the shortfall left by so many years of empty pay, and replenished the Huaihe Navy to one hundred thousand!
The current Shen Yi may be much worse than Anping Marquis Zhao Lu in terms of rank alone, but when it comes to power, he has already surpassed him.
With his current status and status, he personally boosted morale and achieved results that were no different from what he had achieved when he was in the anti-Japanese army.
The entire Huai'an army, including even the closest guard camp, was in a state of excitement. With weapons in hand, they rushed toward Qi Ren, who was already close.
On the battlefield, the most direct thing morale brings is momentum!
This kind of thing sounds very mysterious.
But it's easy to understand.
When two parties are fighting on the street, one of them suddenly becomes red-faced and rushes towards you with a look of death, which will scare anyone.
And this cavalry has been stuck by the vanguard army led by Xue Wei.
They had no time at all to mount their horses for the second round of charge.
In fact, some of the Qi soldiers were dismounted by Xue Wei and others with wolf spears.
Seeing the men of the Huai'an army charging towards them with great momentum, even the Northern Qi general Nada couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes.
"These Nanbarbarians are crazy!"
Although he said that, he still looked back at the Qianhu next to him and shouted sternly: "Our three thousand cavalry can easily penetrate their three thousand infantry, so what are we afraid of!"
"Rush for a while longer!"
If it is normal, there is nothing wrong with Nada's statement.
If it is really an open battlefield, and there is no support from both sides, three thousand light cavalry can casually kill infantry of the same size.
Twenty years ago, during Yuan Du's Northern Expedition, Zhou Jin'an's cavalry, which only had the size of a thousand-household camp, held back Yuan Du's 10,000 men. For more than half a month, they dragged these 10,000 men to death for three times. There were four thousand men, but he himself lost twenty or thirty men only because his horses were injured.
This is the absolute advantage of cavalry in this era!
This is also the reason why Shen Yi has always wanted to create a serious cavalry force.
But now, the situation is very different from twenty years ago.
The fighting will of both sides is no longer on the same level.
Moreover, because they wanted to capture Shen Yi as quickly as possible, they did not use guerrilla methods and basically plunged into the Huai'an army's formation.
If their charge this time can tear apart the Huai'an army's formation, then the outcome of both sides will be determined, and Shen Yi will have no choice but to escape on horseback.
But it was obvious that after diving headlong into the Huai'an army's formation, they were not able to break apart the formation.
Instead, they were stuck by Xue Wei and the others!
Xue Wei led the wolf warriors, roared, and charged directly towards the cavalry.
The cavalry in the front had been held back by Xue Wei and the others, while the soldiers in the back row of the Huai'an army, stimulated by Shen Yi, also roared and formed formation, charging towards the Qi people.
In the night, countless torches were lit, and the Chinese flags swaying in the wind slowly approached, and the pressure was already strong.
Northern Qi general Nada's eyelids jumped as he saw it.
Next to him, Zhu Lizhen Qianhu wielded a long sword with both hands and struck a Southern Dynasty soldier on the shoulder. The knife edge almost cut off the Huai'an Army soldier's shoulder.
But when he wanted to draw the knife and go back, he saw the Southern Dynasty pawn's eyes widening with anger, and his two hands tightly holding the back of his knife, making him unable to take the knife back for a while!
Just when he was stunned, a wolf sword soldier nearby roared and rushed over. With the support of the extremely long bamboo handle, the wolf sword almost hit his face. The wolf sword was like iron thorns on the branches. His face was pricked with blood.
This Zhuli Zhenqianhu was so frightened that he quickly gave up, threw away the long knife in his hand, rode a horse and hurried to Nada, wiped the blood on his face, and said in a trembling voice: "General Nada, these guys Nanmanzi is crazy!"
"Everyone is crazy!"
He thought of the look in the eyes of the Southern soldier who had endured severe pain and grabbed the back of his sword. He couldn't help but shudder, and gritted his teeth and said: "General Na, these Southern barbarians have nothing to live for, why should we go to fight with these gangs?" Do you want to fight with your mud legs?"
After hearing this, Nada turned around and looked at the Qianhu fiercely, and cursed: "What you said is the reason why we can't even rush into their military formation!"
Most of these cavalrymen are Zhu Li.
As for Master Zhu Li, he has been a nobleman in the Northern Qi Dynasty for seventy years. When he goes out on weekdays, how can he not be called "Master" wherever he goes?
Up to now, Master Zhu Li is already the fourth or even fifth generation.
After being a master for so many years, no one will be willing to fight for their lives with those "untouchables with mud legs".
Obviously, this phenomenon has been seen very clearly by middle and high-level people like Nada in Zhu Lizhen.
But…
There is no way to change it.
No one can change it anymore.
After all, it was impossible for the Emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty to drive these real Zhuli people back outside the customs, let them make a living by hunting again, and turn them into low-lifes again.
If the Northern Qi Emperor dared to do this, Li Chen would not have to invade Yandu, and Zhu Lizhen's nobles would work together to promote him, and then replace him with another emperor.
After sighing like this, Nada looked to the south with some reluctance.
Not far to the south, under the light of a torch, a young man holding a long sword was looking coldly towards the north.
At this time, the distance between him and Nada was less than a hundred steps!
But these one hundred steps have become an insurmountable chasm.
Nada clenched his fist fiercely, his body trembled slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Push for a while longer!"
"Otherwise, when we go back, we won't see General Tu!"
Hearing this, the thousands of households breathed a sigh of relief.
Because Nada said this, it means that he no longer wants to win this war.
Instead, he thought about sending a message to Shangguan.
He quickly lowered his head and said respectfully: "General Na is wise!"
"I will obey my orders!"
This sentence "wise" sounds particularly harsh.
However, Nada felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
He was riding on his horse, turned around and slapped the Qianhu household hard on the face. His spittle flew everywhere and he cursed bitterly.
