Just when Li Yun was immersed in the gentle township and vented his nervous mood that had been depressed for days, after a few days of forced marching, the Tiger Evil Army finally rushed to the outskirts of Nanze City.

So Li Yun had no choice but to end his two consecutive days of debauchery and reorganize his army into this crucial battle.

Since the Suzaku Army started its troops, although they have fought successively, they have fought in local patrol battalions, and they have never fought against the eight main battle legions of the empire. However, they are the biggest obstacle to Li Yun's struggle for world domination, and Li Yun's training has always been aimed at defeating them.

At the beginning, the Tiger Wei Army left too deep an impression on Li Yun, so even if he was confident that the strong soldiers he had forged with all his might were no worse than the main battle army of the empire. But in the first battle with the Tiger Army, Li Yun still chose to fight with his back to the fortified city.

Because Li Yun doesn't like to do risky things, what he wants is 100% certainty and a safe and reliable way out.

And this is very important in the first battle with the Tiger Scare Army, so before thoroughly verifying the comparison of the combat power of the Vermilion Bird Army and the Tiger Scare Army, Li Yun will not do anything risky. Because what he did couldn't withstand failure, he couldn't overestimate the combat power of the Tiger Army.

Therefore, he must do everything in his power to ensure an absolute victory in the first battle against the Tiger Army.

For this war, in addition to Zhao Xin and Hu Lingyun, who continued to advance eastward to create pressure on the empire to contain its local forces, and Xu Tielong and Sulu who stayed in Qingping County, Li Yun bet all his belongings.

Not only did several veteran main regiments all go into battle, but even the five new regiments that had just been reorganized were all put into the battlefield. In addition to the artillery battalions, cavalry battalions, machine gun battalions and other units directly under the army, the total strength exceeds 150,000 people.

According to the report, the total strength of the Tiger Army is 100,000, and the total strength of the patrol battalion that cooperates with it exceeds 200,000.

Although the strength of the Suzaku Army did not have an advantage, but with the back of the strong city and the might of firearms, Li Yun still had some absolute confidence in this battle.

In the end, Li Yun backed Nanze City and set up a position with the Tiger Army outside the city.

After looking at the military formation of the Tiger Evil Army with a telescope, Li Yun couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This Tiger Demon Army is worthy of being the elite soldiers under the Fierce Tiger Legion, and this momentum is much stronger than those patrol battalions!" ”

"Yes, Ouyang Yuhui, the commander of the Tiger Army, is also from a family of generals, and he has made many achievements since he became the commander of the Tiger Army, and he is a rather difficult opponent." Xu Tianhua next to him also looked serious.

"Haha...... Haha......"

Li Yun smiled lightly when he heard this, and then said: "He Ouyang Yuhui is difficult, but I, Li Yun, am not easy to deal with, today I will see if he is fierce or my Vermilion Bird is invincible!" ”

"Suzaku is mighty!"

"Suzaku is mighty......!"

"Suzaku will win!"

"Suzaku will win......

As soon as Li Yun's voice fell, Xu Tianhua shouted an inspiring slogan, and then the whole army shouted.

At the same time, Ouyang Yuhui, the commander of the Tiger Army, was also observing the formation of the Vermilion Bird Army.

Because the Suzaku Army is an army with firearms as its main equipment, it is very different from the traditional cold-weapon army in terms of troop arrangement.

After Ouyang Yuhui saw it, he was very puzzled by the way the Vermilion Bird Army lined up, "The military prestige of this Vermilion Bird Thief Army is not bad, but the way this array of troops is arranged, it is really strange!" ”

Deputy Marshal Cheng Dajun also looked confused, "Indeed, this Vermilion Bird Thief Army reveals a sense of strangeness everywhere from the firearms it is equipped with to the way it arranges its troops. And the Dragon Fu Secret Guard still hasn't figured out the origin of the leader of this thief army, only that his name is Li Yun appeared in Ningzhou for the first time, and the rest can't be found out of anything! ”

Ouyang Yuhui thought for a while, and then ordered: "Send someone to persuade you to surrender first, and see what this Vermilion Bird Army is saying." ”

"No!"

"Dada...... Da Da ......"

"Woo ......!"

Immediately afterwards, a fast horse crossed out of the Tiger Evil Army's formation, came to the center of the battlefield, and shouted: "Bah! Listen, the Suzaku Thieves have committed the heinous sin of rebellion! However, my general has the virtue of a good life, as long as you bind the thief leader Li Yun to ask for surrender, my general can spare your life, otherwise I will be out of the sheath of the sword, and I will let you and others die without a place to be buried! ”

This knight is obviously not an ordinary person, and his voice of persuasion to surrender can be heard clearly even by Li Yun, who is in the rear.

"Humph! This Ouyang Yuhui thinks very beautifully, do you think that with just a few words, you can force my Vermilion Bird Army to surrender! Hearing the knight's words, Xu Tianhua's expression was slightly disdainful.

"But since people are shouting, then we have to be polite." Then Li Yun whispered a few words in Xu Tianhua's ear.

After Xu Tianhua listened, he couldn't help but show a hint of ridicule on his face, "Understood, big brother!" ”

So under Xu Tianhua's orders, there was also a knight in the Suzaku army who crossed the crowd, and he rode his horse to the front of the battle and shouted: "Everyone in the cat army listens, my lord heard that your military commander is very good at raising horses, and he was named the commander of the cat army by leading horses for the emperor's old son." So my lord said, if he is willing to lead a horse for my lord, he will be given a horse leader, and all of you will have a reward! ”

"Haha...... Haha......"

"It turns out that they are a cat army! Haha......"

"Don't come and lead the horse yet!"

As soon as the knights of the Suzaku Army finished shouting, the whole army began to mock, and the tension on everyone's body suddenly dissipated for a while.

The Tiger Army on the opposite side was all angry, but Ouyang Yuhui had no expression. Because maybe this is the result he wants, he wants to use the arrogance and rudeness of the Vermilion Bird Army to arouse the belligerent heart of the Tiger Army.

Similarly, Li Yun also wanted to use this to ease the tension of his subordinates, after all, the other party was a powerful soldier in the world!

But whether it was Ouyang Yuhui or Li Yun, neither of them thought that the other party would be shaken by a few words.

Then I saw Ouyang Yuhui order with a normal face: "Order a battalion to patrol the battalion to attack, and the Ruifeng battalion will follow!" ”

"No!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Immediately after that, a patrol battalion marched out with uniform steps. They held shields in their hands, and while beating them, they shouted murderous trumpets. And behind them was a team of extremely fierce cavalry of the Ruifeng Battalion wearing red tiger armor!

The Ruifeng Battalion is the elite cavalry of the Tiger Army, and everyone has the strength of the martial body. The mount under its crotch is also a six-legged horse crossed with high-level brute beasts.

These elite cavalry are not only strong in martial arts, but also good at using strong bows, and the tiger armor on their bodies is even more invulnerable. Therefore, with its strong martial arts and sophisticated equipment, the Ruifeng Battalion is very good at riding and shooting.

When fighting the enemy, they often use their superb riding skills to launch powerful attacks on the enemy with accurate and ferocious cavalry at a distance of a stone's throw from the enemy.

Therefore, when the patrol battalion wearing heavy armor and holding a strong shield and the mighty Ruifeng battalion approached the Suzaku Army, there was still a sense of spiritual oppression.

So much so that the recruits of the Suzaku Army were in a commotion, but with the pacification of the veterans of the Suzaku Army, those recruits quickly settled down.

Putting down the binoculars in the distance, Li Yun's face was gloomy for a while, and then he ordered: "Pass the scriptures, the whole army will not move, order the artillery battalion and the machine gun battalion to fire with all my strength, and we must suppress the enemy's momentum!" ”

"No!"

"Boom......! Boom......! Boom......! Boom......! ”

Soon, in the Suzaku army, there was a burst of passionate war drums.

On the battlefield, war drums can not only be used for communication, but also the same stirring drum sound can also play a role in boosting morale.

And on the herald not far from Li Yun, a famous flag soldier also skillfully waved the order flag in his hand. They cooperated with the sound of war drums and passed Li Yun's order in detail.

After receiving the order, the commanders of each department immediately ordered their subordinates to make preparations.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

"Kill ......!"

"Kill ......!"

Under Ouyang Yuhui's order, the patrol battalion pressed towards the Vermilion Bird Army step by step, and kept shouting a murderous trumpet to put pressure on the Vermilion Bird Army. After entering the charging distance, under the order of the leading officer, he suddenly rushed towards the Suzaku Army.

Those sharp battalions urged their war horses, and under the cover of the patrol battalion, they also rushed to the Suzaku Army's military formation, drawing their bows and arrows, ready to shoot the Suzaku Army soldiers at any time.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! ”

"Boom......! Rumble......! Rumble......! Rumble......! ”

But just as the Tiger Evil Army was about to attack, they suddenly remembered a fierce gunfire like bursting beans, and the sound of explosions like thunder and thunder!

"Ah......h

"Herod......!

The charging patrol battalion and the knights of the Tiger Army, under the fierce and furious firepower, suddenly suffered heavy casualties, and the sound of people and horses was heard endlessly for a while.

In the distance, Ouyang Yuhui couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this scene. Especially when I saw a cavalryman of the famous Ruifeng battalion, when the artillery fire was blown to pieces, it was even more heartache.

"My lord! Do you want to withdraw to the Sharp Blade Battalion! Cheng Dajun next to him was also taken aback by the firepower of the Vermilion Bird Army.

Ordinary patrol battalions are dead, but those cavalry of the sharp front battalion are the elite of the Tiger Army, and it is a pity that they are lost in the enemy's artillery fire in vain.

However, Ouyang Yuhui turned a blind eye, "No! Go on the offensive! ”

As the so-called Ci is not in charge of the army, although Ouyang Yuhui is also heartbroken by the loss of the Ruifeng battalion. However, if they can test the specific strength of the Suzaku Army, then their sacrifice will be worth it.

I saw Ouyang Yuhui looking at the miserable appearance of the patrol battalion and the Ruifeng battalion in the artillery fire of the Vermilion Bird Army, and his face couldn't help but turn blue.

Although Ouyang Yuhui had long known that the Vermilion Bird Army's firearms were sharp, he didn't expect it to be so sharp.

Whether it was the previous test firing of the Vermilion Bird Armament, or the questioning of those defeated patrol battalions, Ouyang Yuhui was confident that he had a high estimate of the Vermilion Bird Army's firearms.

But when I saw him today, I realized how shallow my original understanding was.
