Qi Zhuji shook his head and laughed instead, "Sometimes I have to admire King Zhongshan. Even if I lose, I still have nothing to say."
Lin Yi could understand his mood at this time.
These 30,000 are just the vanguard army, and the central army at the rear will definitely not be less than 30,000, at least 60,000.
Such an army is huge everywhere and at any time, but such an army has never appeared in any military situation before.
Such a huge army has been marching in the Southern Dynasties for so long. Just avoiding all large-scale battles and arriving here quietly is enough to show the power of the high-ranking generals of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
"I'm desperate too."
Lin Yi looked at the dark cloud-like dust haze rising in the wilderness. He said without deliberately lowering his voice: "But you have come here, so you can't just run away."
His words were certainly not a formal oath from the general, but because of his calm tone and the strength he had shown before, many Southern Dynasty sergeants who had previously gone blank and had lost even the slightest fighting spirit became
He also gradually calmed down.
…
Under the dark clouds, the first thing that appeared in the eyes of ordinary soldiers was the light cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty like a tide.
The light cavalry troops of the Southern Dynasties generally wore soft armor, and their riding uniforms had narrow sleeves and were tightly tied up. However, the cavalry troops of the Northern Wei Dynasty wore wide sleeves, which was obviously not conducive to fighting, but they have always been used to it.
And this is also one of the striking signs that distinguishes the armies of the Southern Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty from a distance.
Another point is that many riders in the Northern Wei Dynasty are unwilling to wear helmets. If the number is small, they look like a ragtag group of horse thieves from a distance. However, if the number is large, there is no such impression. Instead, it gives people a
An aura of savagery and bravery.
The Northern Wei Qingqi who were at the forefront were all dressed in black with black breastplates. They did not pay attention to formation and were running randomly in the wilderness. They were roughly estimated to number four thousand, but because they were walking in a scattered manner, the number seemed to be much larger.
.
Behind the light cavalry were obviously some heavy cavalry, but these heavy cavalry were not wearing armor. The heavy armor on both the horses and the riders on the saddles were dragged on the chariot behind them.
Behind these chariots, there were at least 20,000 infantry troops mixed with a small number of cavalry and chariots.
Some carriages that seemed incompatible with the solemn atmosphere, as well as carriages that looked particularly luxurious, were dotted around like some lotus flowers that bloomed ahead of the season in the pond in early summer, but they posed an extra danger to the Southern Dynasty sergeants on the wall.
feeling.
There are no flags or any obvious marks, so it is still impossible to determine the origin of this Northern Wei army. But what is certain is that this is definitely not a temporary local army deployed by the Northern Wei Dynasty. It is more like a regular frontier army and some powerful lords.
A coalition of militaries.
Regular frontier armies have a certain proportion of practitioners, but the private armies of large lords may have a higher proportion of practitioners.
At this time, the proportion of chariots and chariots that obviously did not belong to the frontier army was obviously large.
Among them was a chariot that looked particularly generous. On top of this chariot was a very tall Northern Wei general.
This Northern Wei general has a square face, his eyebrows are as thick as ink, and his eyes are slightly closed and slightly open, emitting a cold light like a substance, which truly gives people a sense of calm and self-power.
He was wearing the same black leather armor, but the leather armor was inlaid with silver threads and some irregular silver-white crystal stones. He had been hanging his head as if thinking about things, until the Qingqi in the front
When he was close to the water's edge, he slowly raised his head, opened his eyes, and took a serious look at Zhongli City on the other side for the first time.
After a few breaths, he continued to lower his head, and then asked indifferently: "Who is leading the army on Jiangxin Continent?"
Next to him, a middle-aged man wearing fiery red clothes who looked more like a priest than a sergeant bowed slightly and said, "It's Yang Haoyu."
The Northern Wei general on the chariot let out a light sigh, and then continued: "I promised to attack the city last night, but Zhongli is still not in his hands. Send an order to him to step aside and let Yan Qinghe attack the city directly.
"
Listening to his instructions, the man who looked like a priest in fiery red clothes did not have any objections. He bowed and saluted again, and then retreated to give the order. However, on a chariot next to the chariot, there was
A man in his fifties with a green robe and a long beard who looked like a military advisor had objections.
The man who looked like a strategist coughed slightly and said: "Yang Haoyu is a strong general. Since there is nothing he can do, it is best to wait a little longer. He is Yang Dian's subordinate... Since Yang Dian is coming..."
"Are we still waiting for Yang Dian, or are we worried about his bad appearance?" The burly Northern Wei general on the chariot suddenly sneered, "We have an army of 70,000 people. How can we still not capture such a small city? How can we still do it?"
Do we need to wait for Yang Dian to lead his 30,000 troops? Seventy thousand is not as good as 30,000. How can we hold our heads high in front of King Zhongshan in the future? As for Yang Haoyu, we cannot attack, even if there are powerful practitioners in the city at this time
Or, if Yan Qinghe dies, he will die. I don’t like the people of the Southern Dynasty who surrendered like this."
After hearing what he said, the man stopped talking.
As a military advisor, he only needs to put forward suggestions and opinions truthfully. As for whether to adopt them or not, it is the commander's business. As for whether they are right or wrong, he does not need to consider them.
Loud shouts sounded from the troops in front.
Among the light cavalry at the front, a general wearing black armor with a green sword scabbard flashed his eyes fiercely.
Then he roared several times, and the cavalry around him suddenly accelerated their speed.
More than 3,000 cavalry and dozens of chariots separated from the main army, and started to pass through the pontoon bridge far ahead, swarming towards the north wall like a long snake.
The screams of police sirens rang out all over Zhongli City.
Many soldiers who were so exhausted that they didn't even want to move a finger struggled to get up despite the soreness and swelling in their limbs.
At this time, there were loud arrows ringing from the south wall.
"It's your Tie Ce Army, Xue Jiu and the others are here."
"The Northern Wei army outside the south wall has retreated several miles."
Such sounding arrows conveyed two messages.
"It came just in time."
After hearing such news, Qi Zhuji squinted at the Northern Wei army that had spread along the opposite coast, and sneered: "It's better to have reinforcements than none, better than nothing."
"At least we have to hold on until Wei Guanxing and the others arrive."
Just as Lin Yi said this, Rong Yi's voice sounded uneasily from behind, "Do you want to bring that carriage up?"
Lin Yi thought for a while.
Of course he understood what Rong Yi meant.
That carriage was Xiao Donghuang's handiwork. It was equivalent to a mobile magic circle. If it was blocked on the wall facing the pontoon bridge, it would naturally function as a large-scale ordnance. However, both the magic circle and the flying sword would consume real energy.
"You keep your true energy, I'll come first." He shook his head and said.
