Chapter 1862： The fish has been hooked

One day later, Li Zejie led the Ming-Song Dynasty Dongjing five million army into Baitai Road.

"Report, General, the scout we arranged at the forefront has not returned news for two hours."

Li Zejie frowned when he received the news from the deputy general.

He is a very vigilant general. As early as before, he ordered every scout to send back news every two hours to ensure that there was no accident with the scout and that there would be no enemy in ambush.

But now that the scout loses contact, it is most likely something went wrong.

"General, this should not be the enemy's ambush." ​​A lieutenant next to Li Zejie looked at Li Zejie and said: "After all, our army has all entered Baitai Dao. If the enemy wants to ambush, Baitai Dao is definitely the best. local."

"But we didn't find any trace of the enemy army around Baitai Road. If the enemy army wants to ambush in front, it is obviously impossible."

"From the end, it should be the enemy who got the news of our army's aid to the southern border. A defender was placed on the side of Baitai Road near the southern border, trying to block the speed of our army's march and giving them enough time to break through Fengjiang City. ."

Li Zejie heard the vice general's words, pondered slightly, nodded, and said: "It should be like this."

Besides, he could not think of other explanations.

He immediately looked at the lieutenant who had just returned the news, and said: "Pass the order to the scouts under his command and order them to find out what happened before."

"Yes!"

The lieutenant immediately took the order.

But less than three minutes after going down, the lieutenant came back with a panic expression and said anxiously: "General, just got the scout news, they found the enemy cavalry in front, and they are coming to our army."

"Hahaha!"

Hearing the news, Li Zejie didn't panic and rejoiced. He looked at the lieutenant around him and smiled: "You just said that the enemy army should want to block us. Now you seem to be right. The enemy army wants to block our army with cavalry. , Give them enough time to break through Fengjiang City.

"But it's a pity that the general who led them was just a little boy. If his cavalry attacked our army from both sides, it would definitely cause a lot of damage to our army."

"But he actually ordered the army to attack our army from the front, it is ridiculous to the extreme!"

"If the order is passed down, the shield soldiers and crossbowmen immediately set up defenses. The enemy cavalry would be killed before they rushed over!"

"Yes!" A lieutenant next to him immediately went down to make arrangements.

The other lieutenants were also smiling.

You know, the East Mirror army they came to aid this time, nothing else, but very many crossbows.

Among them are the thunderbolt with great lethality, the purpose is to attack the enemy cavalry.

It's okay now, the enemy army turned out to be killed from right in front, isn't it just within the perfect attack range of their arrows.

In their view, the generals sent by the Nanyan Dynasty to attack the Ming and Song Dynasty were completely idiots.

He can't even do the most basic ambush, which is ridiculous.

Li Zejie ordered that the East Mirror army under his command immediately made a defense. The shield soldiers and the crossbowmen cooperated with each other to make three layers of defense inside and outside.

And shifting their defenses to the front too much has also resulted in very weak defenses on their left and right sides.

Li Zejie also understands this, but he doesn't take it seriously, because now they can determine that the enemy can only attack from the front, and it is impossible to attack from the left and right sides.

As long as he has done a good job in front of the defense, he can kill the army of the Nanyan Dynasty.

After more than two hours, Xue Rengui and Chang Yuchun led 300,000 iron knights to a position within Li Zejie's eyes.

Li Zejie saw it, smiled coldly, and said: "The order is passed down, the army is ready, and when the general orders it, immediately release the arrow!"

"Yes!"

The lieutenant passed the order immediately.

Xue Rengui and Chang Yuchun also saw the enemy's defense.

Chang Yuchun frowned slightly and said: "This Li Zejie is really decisive. Look at their front defense, I'm afraid they occupy 60 to 70% of their army's crossbowmen and shield soldiers."

Xue Rengui also nodded, and said: "No way, Li Zejie was too vigilant, sent too many scouts, found us, and gave them time to prepare."

At first, Xue Rengui's plan was to wait for Li Zejie's army to advance a certain distance, and then let the cavalry charge.

Sudden attack, even if Li Zejie wanted to defend, the army under him would not have time to react. They would surely break through the enemy's formation instantly. At this time, the army teleportation arrays that had been prepared on the left and right sides were opened, which could teleport a large number of soldiers in Fengjiang City. Come over and launch a deadly attack on the enemy.

But not long ago, the enemy scouts touched the position of their cavalry.

The concealment array they set up can cover the eyes of the scouts from a distance, but it cannot be effective at close range. There is no way. Xue Rengui can only let people kill the scouts, which also exposes their existence. The attack was launched in advance.

"But this is also good for our army." Xue Rengui laughed and said: "Since the enemy has placed most of its defenses here, the defenses on the left and right sides are very weak, facing our elite infantry. They can't stop the attack."

"What the general said is quite true." Chang Yuchun smiled: "However, there are many enemy crossbowmen at the moment. If you want to avoid heavy losses to the army, you have to have General Labor."

Xue Rengui smiled, did not say much, and continued to lead the cavalry forward.

Soon, Xue Rengui's cavalry had reached a suitable offensive distance.

"Let go!"

Xue Rengui waved his hand, and the 300,000 iron horses under his command were riding and shooting together.

You know, most of the iron knights of the Nanyan Dynasty were trained in the northern grasslands outside Beiguan, and they all developed the ability to ride and shoot with one hand.

With 300,000 iron knights, everyone is holding a crossbow. Under the riding and shooting, countless sharp arrows rise into the sky, forming a rain of arrows in the sky, making the sky dark.

"block!"

The general of Li Zejie's army in charge of shield soldiers shouted, and the shield soldiers who had been prepared all raised their shields and stood in front of him.

"Ding Ding Ding."

Countless rain of arrows fell on these shields, making the sound of gold and iron intersecting.

But the arrow rain was not completely blocked. There were still a lot of soldiers shot through the gap between the shield soldiers, causing the enemy's formation to appear in chaos.

"Let go!"

Li Zejie shouted when he saw it.

The archers and crossbowmen he had prepared for a long time all let out arrows.

Shoo!

Suddenly, nearly a million sharp arrows lifted into the sky, turning into a rain of arrows in the sky.

The dense array of sharp arrows glowed with cold light and was very permeating.

Li Zejie watched this scene coldly, his own side shot at the enemy cavalry, defended by shield soldiers.

He wanted to see how the iron cavalry of the Nanyan dynasty faced his own bow and crossbow and how to stop it!
