Really!

Only one day later, an urgent report was sent at night: 30,000 Varat Pioneer Iron Cavalry went straight to Zhangyi Gate to kill!

Liu Juntao was also shocked when he heard the news, and on the one hand sent a fast horse to report the news to Shi Heng, the governor of the right capital, and Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, and at the same time immediately ordered the soldiers of each battalion to leave the camp and line up outside Zhangyi Gate.

In less than half an hour, the soldiers of the army, who had already been ready for action, finished lining up outside the Zhangyi Gate.

I saw 28,000 soldiers lined up according to the battalion, Liu Juntao led the Yanzhou Mansion Qi Barracks in the center, and Sun Xu led the Yanzhou Mansion Barracks soldiers in the front line, as the backbone of the middle road.

Zhang Xiaojun led the soldiers of the front battalion of the Yushan Town Escort Team to set up a formation on the left, Gao Ran led the right battalion of the Yushan Town Guard to deploy the formation on the right, and Chen Ziping led the left battalion of the Yushan Town Guard Team to hold the big camp and stand by.

And Zhou Zongsheng led the Iron Cavalry Battalion of the Yushan Town Guard to stand by in the Chinese army, ready to launch a counterattack at any time.

When the 28,000 soldiers were deployed, Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, and Shi Heng, the governor of the right capital, also sent people to send orders: Stick to Zhangyi Gate and beat the Tartars!

At this time, the main force of the remaining tens of thousands of Ming army soldiers were deployed outside the Desheng Gate, which is located in the north of the capital and is the main attack direction of the Wara army, so the tens of thousands of troops can not be mobilized easily, and they must protect the Desheng Gate.

And the 40,000 soldiers and horses and 300,000 young men in the capital could not come to support, so for Liu Juntao and the 28,000 soldiers under his command, there were no reinforcements in this battle, and they could only defeat the 30,000 Wara iron cavalry that came to attack by themselves!

Liu Juntao received the latest news that he was not sent back at night: the 30,000 Watts Pioneer Iron Cavalry had arrived a few miles away to the north of Tucheng.

Therefore, Liu Juntao ordered Chen Ziping to lead his troops to guard the camp, and he ordered the main force of the army to advance and go to Tucheng to meet the Tartar vanguard.

Soon, Liu Juntao led his army to Tucheng.

Although it is called an earth castle, it is not a castle, but a high hillside, and it is named because the terrain resembles a "earth castle".

After Liu Juntao looked at the terrain, he laughed, the terrain here is high, which is just suitable for the soldiers under his command to condescendingly kill the enemy with firearms, and the terrain also greatly restricts the charging momentum of the Warat Iron Cavalry, which is very conducive to the infantry to meet the Iron Cavalry!

Immediately, Liu Juntao readjusted the deployment of the army, lined up Sun Xu's Yanzhou Mansion Barracks, Zhang Xiaojun's Yushan Town Guard Front Battalion, and Gao Ran's Yushan Town Guard Right Battalion, and lined up on the slopes of Tucheng to meet the enemy, and at the same time pulled all the Wuhan Iron and Steel chariots equipped by each battalion to the front of the battle array, forming a solid "city wall".

At the same time, Liu Juntao personally led the soldiers of the Yanzhou Mansion Qi Barracks to press the formation behind the defense line, as the Chinese army.

Zhou Zongsheng led the Iron Cavalry Battalion of the Yushan Town Escort Team to also garrison the Chinese army, ready to attack at any time.

The officers and men of the army stood by in the Tucheng formation, the whole army stood silently and solemnly, and the commanders of each battalion were all in place, while checking whether the officers and men of each department had any undisciplined behavior, and on the other hand, they were ready to record the merits and demerits of the officers and men in the fierce battle.

After a while, as soon as the army was deployed, Liu Juntao saw that the front was full of smoke and dust, and 30,000 Warat iron cavalry had arrived!

Liu Juntao looked far away, only to see that 30,000 Varat iron cavalry was extremely powerful, and there were many armored soldiers in the army, Liu Juntao estimated that at least thirty percent of the Tartars were wearing armor, so it seems that the Vara army is really a strong army at this time!

Liu Juntao sighed in his heart: "This battle will be a vicious battle!" ”

However, a vicious battle is a vicious war, and Liu Juntao at this time is not afraid of stopping water, and Liu Juntao looked around at the soldiers beside him, and saw that all the soldiers had excitement on their faces, and there was no trace of fear at all.

Seeing that the army's heart was available, Liu Juntao ordered the whole army to be on alert to meet the battle.

Immediately afterwards, the urgent sound of the Chinese army drum sounded, the majestic Han war drum broke through the sky, the morale of the 24,000 soldiers was greatly boosted, and the sound of "ten thousand victories" resounded like a dragon's chant.

At this time, Liu Juntao also stood on a temporary high platform, surrounded by shields and canopies, which was enough to protect the general from the threat of the enemy's arrows, guns and bows, and at the same time could condescendingly look around the quadrilateral army formation and command his subordinates to fight well.

Not far from Liu Juntao, the Chinese army's pole car was also erected urgently, and a Chinese army standard-bearer wearing heavy armor jumped into the fight. A few thick sergeants beside him, shouting one, two, three, erected the thick pole more than ten meters long with the principle of seesaw.

The pole cart consisted of two chariots, each of which required two horses to pull it. Standing on Diao Dou and looking out, the standard-bearer can see the enemy situation within a dozen miles of the surrounding area, and pass it on to the standard-bearer next to the general at any time, closely converging the surrounding enemy situation.

At the same time, the wheels of the Wuhan Iron and Steel chariots of each battalion were also quickly inserted with protective iron-inlaid cards, which were made of hardwood, and the appearance of fierce beasts was painted on the outward side.

The bird-gunners of each battalion can shoot calmly and unhurriedly when they hide in the car formation, giving full play to the power of their firearms and reducing the casualties of the sergeants.

Liu Juntao looked around and saw that the soldiers of each battalion had quickly prepared to take position, and all the soldiers clenched their weapons in their hands, nervously waiting for the battle they were about to face.

On the inside of the Chinese army, surrounded by chariots, the chief physician Cen Entropy has already led hundreds of doctors, doctors, and nurses to make preparations, and has set up dozens of iron pots, seized the time to boil hot water for the soldiers, and prepared specially refined military alcohol, once the soldiers of each battalion are wounded in the battle, they can be treated immediately.

At this time, the army did not accept itself at night, and a group withdrew into the car formation, and the standard-bearer standing on the high observation pole kept changing his flag and reported to Liu Juntao on the high platform about the arrival of the enemy army.

I saw the smoke and dust in front of the army getting closer and closer, and then the earth trembled faintly, as if more than 100,000 horses' hooves hit the ground hard, making the whole earth tremble.

It seemed that at the same time, an overwhelming array of gray battle flags appeared on the horizon, as well as countless iron cavalry teams.

There was a lot of smoke and dust rising between the 30,000 Varat iron horses, and under the Varat banner fluttering like an ocean, there were all Varat knights in gray-white armor, looking at the boundless posture, all the Varat knights were putting their horses and running, and it seemed that all the sounds in the heavens and the earth had disappeared, and only the sound of horses' hooves was heard.

Liu Juntao saw that the 30,000 watts of iron riding were getting closer and closer, and he couldn't help but snort coldly, and said secretly: "Hmph! Tartars made such a big noise, it may be okay to scare other Ming troops, but it is not okay to scare this general! ”

Liu Juntao looked coldly to the sides, and saw that the soldiers of each battalion were neatly arrayed behind the chariots, all the soldiers were bird soldiers in front, long knife soldiers were behind, and thunder throwers were on standby at any time.

Although the power of the 30,000 Warat Iron Cavalry surprised the soldiers of each battalion, they felt that the Warat army was far stronger than Ye Zongliu, Deng Maoqi and other thieves, and it was indeed a strong enemy!

However, all the soldiers still stood upright, their expressions were calm and calm, and their hearts were full of fighting spirit, and they were not afraid of this.

This also made Liu Juntao feel very gratified, and secretly sighed that the soldiers and horses under his command had finally been trained, and they were finally built into a strong army by themselves!

At this time, the sentry of the Warat army should have also detected the formation of Liu Juntao's army, so less than two miles in front of Liu Juntao's car formation, the Warat army gradually slowed down their speed and slowly stopped.

Seeing this, Liu Juntao smiled on his face: "Can't run, right?" ”

Then, Liu Juntao looked at the Warat army that was reorganizing in the distance with great contempt, and said loudly: "Don't look at the arrogance of these godsons, you will know that there is suffering later."

Liu Juntao's voice spread far away, and the soldiers on all sides could hear it clearly, and they immediately laughed, along with the suppression officers of each battalion, even if everyone was a little nervous before, it disappeared at this time.

Liu Juntao knew that it was impossible for the Warat army on the opposite side to attack immediately, and he definitely needed to temporarily adjust the deployment, so he said in a loud voice: "Order the soldiers of each battalion to sit down and rest on the spot." Drink some water, eat some dry food, and gather your strength to kill the Tartars later! ”
