Chapter 1381: Embattled

Everyone nodded approvingly, and Rutav said, "We can't wait any longer!" Otherwise, you will have to be buried! ā€

The crowd nodded. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

One of them said with some concern: "But our army has been scattered and mixed into the battalions of the Sixth Legion, and we can't mobilize them without being detected by the Wei army?" ā€

Rutav said, "It's okay! We don't want to gather troops to fight with the Wei army, we just want to open the city gates and welcome the Roman army in! ā€

One of the commanders frowned and said, "Now that the gates of each city are under the direct control of the Wei army, how can we open the city gates?" ā€

Rutav nodded, "This is indeed a problem!" Now the strength of the Wei army is still relatively strong, and when the Wei army consumes for a while, I think our opportunity will come! Before that, we need to be ready! As for the contact with the Romans, you don't have to worry about it! The crowd nodded.

The gaze returned to Cao Cao's side.

After a battle between the forward cavalry of the two sides, the more than 200,000 troops led by Zhang Liao and the more than 600,000 troops of the Jin State launched a general battle, the battle lasted from morning to dusk, and the Wei army, which was inferior in numbers, was defeated, and more than 100,000 remnants fled north in panic.

Empress Silan, who was standing on a high post and watching the battle, couldn't help but be so excited that she couldn't help but be so excited that she couldn't help but be unable to control herself when she saw that her own army had defeated the Wei army.

Joseph galloped up to Queen Slan and jumped off his horse.

At this time, Joseph was dressed in heavy armor and a battle robe, with a handsome face and a tall figure, which can be described as heroic and majestic.

Queen Silan's beautiful eyes flashed with brilliance, and she said excitedly: "The Wei army has always been invincible, invincible, and invincible, but today it was defeated by the general's sword!" ā€

Joseph laughed and pleaded proudly: "Queen, the enemy army has been defeated, and you should cover up the past in one go!" ā€

Queen Silan nodded without hesitation, "Okay! Just do what you want! From today onwards, you are the general of the Dajin Empire! ā€

Joseph was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.

Joseph led nearly 600,000 troops in pursuit, and a day later he reached a basin terrain that was low in the middle and high in the periphery.

Joseph and the others suddenly found that the Wei army, which was fleeing in front, suddenly stopped fleeing, and relied on a low mountain to the south to form a battle formation.

Joseph laughed and said, "Where else can you escape?" The proud Joseph thought that the Wei army had no way to escape, so he was desperate.

Joseph waved his hand arrogantly, "The Tiger Legion and the Goshawk Legion are attacking head-on, the Third Legion is attacking the left flank, and the Fourth Legion is attacking the right flank!" ā€

As soon as Joseph's words fell, a roar suddenly pierced the sky.

Joseph couldn't help but be stunned.

Before he could come to his senses, a rain of stone bullets fell suddenly around him, and there was chaos on his back.

When the army of the Jin Kingdom came back to their senses, they suddenly saw the banners and clouds rolling on the high ground around them, and countless black-clothed and black-armored troops appeared in the field of vision. Many people subconsciously shouted "Not good!" ā€

The soldiers of the Jin State Army looked at a loss.

A general rushed to Joseph, who was dazed, and said urgently: "General, no, it's not good!" We're surrounded! ā€

Joseph looked towards the entrance and saw wheeled carts carrying pounds of stones being pushed down the hillsides on either side. Joseph couldn't help frowning, glanced at Zhang Liao's headquarters who were arrayed in front of the mountain, his eyes flashed with ruthlessness, he pulled out his scimitar and pointed at Zhang Liao and shouted: "The whole army is assaulting!" ā€

The soldiers of the Jin State Army subconsciously shouted violently and surged towards Zhang Liao's side.

At this time, there was a roar on the mountains on all sides, and stone bullets rained down towards the dense Jin Army, and often a stone bullet could lift more than a dozen Jin Army soldiers into the sky!

The catapult roared, and the stone bullets rained down towards the Jin army, and often a stone bullet lifted more than a dozen Jin soldiers into the sky.

Cao Cao nodded to the herald beside him, who immediately gave the order, and then saw the order flag dancing rapidly, and then the eastern and western fronts cracked and cracked, and countless iron horses surged out like a torrent that opened the gates, kicking up a cloud of smoke and dust, and the whole earth trembled under their iron hooves.

40,000 cavalry rushed towards the basin from the left and right flanks.

Seeing this scene, the Jin army was shocked, and Joseph roared and ordered the armies on both flanks to stop attacking and stabilize the front.

The 3rd and 4th Legions, which were on both flanks, hurriedly began to line up, but many of the 3rd and 4th Legions did not understand the meaning of the order and continued to charge forward. For a time, the scene was extremely chaotic.

Joseph was in a hurry, shouting at the top of his throat, but it didn't seem to have any effect. With the exception of the Tiger Legion and the Goshawk Legion, all the officers and men of the Jin Army looked very confused, perhaps because of the memory of the Wei army's repeated defeats in the past.

"Your Majesty, the result has been decided!" Xiahoudun was full of confidence.

Cao Cao shook his head, "Not necessarily! People are often able to burst out with unimaginable combat effectiveness in desperate situations, and they must not be careless! ā€

40,000 cavalry slammed into the Jin army's front from the east and west sides, tearing the chaotic Jin army's front in one blow, and the two wings of the Jin army were in great confusion and were in danger of complete collapse. At the last moment, the generals of the Jin Guojun went to the front line one after another to lead the soldiers under their command to fight back desperately.

The war gradually changed from favorable to stalemate for the Wei army.

Cao Cao frowned, ordered the cavalry to retreat, and then ordered the crossbowmen and pikemen to prepare.

The Wei cavalry quickly broke away from the battle, and although they were not able to break through the enemy line, their goal had been achieved, which was to prevent the other side from attacking Zhang Liao's line, because once the two sides were entangled, it would be difficult to attack.

Although the Jin army repelled the Wei army's iron cavalry, their sharpness was also worn out, and hundreds of thousands of troops did not attack Zhang Liao's department, but formed a group to prepare to defend against the strong attack of the Wei army, which was exactly what Cao Cao wanted.

The corners of Cao Cao's mouth twitched, and he nodded to the herald beside him.

Immediately, the spearmen, swordsmen and shields set up defensive lines along the hillside, and nearly 100,000 crossbowmen lined up behind the spearmen, as well as a large number of heavy equipment such as thunderbolts.

The roar of the catapult rang out again, and nearly 100,000 crossbowmen fired arrows into the basin, and the thunder swarmed with a rapid and fast-burning sound that made the scalp tingle.

In an instant, the entire sky was covered with a dark cloud of arrows, and the whole earth suddenly darkened, and the sight made it impossible to breathe.

Crackling down in the enemy bushes, the enemy soldiers were beaten down like young seedlings under a torrential rain, and the screams filled the ears. Due to the height difference, the shield bearers of the Jin army could not protect their own soldiers at all.

"Fight back! Fight back! Joseph yelled with red eyes.

Tens of thousands of crossbowmen of the Jin army braved the rain of arrows to fight back, but the result was very miserable, they were unprotected under the overwhelming rain of arrows, not to mention fighting back, and even self-protection was impossible.

In fact, even if they fought back, they would not have much effect, because of the height difference and the advantage of the Wei army's strong crossbows themselves, the Wei army could shoot them effortlessly, while the Jin crossbowmen could not pose any threat to the Wei army.

"General, this is not the way to go! We're going to be killed by them! One of the generals shouted urgently.

Joseph frowned, "What do you have in mind?" ā€

The general shook his head, "Your Excellency General, let's fight rather than wait for death!" ā€

"Fight?"

Joseph was stunned for a moment, then his eyes froze, and he said fiercely: "Okay! Fight! Order the Goshawk Legion, the 3rd and 5th Legions to attack the western heights, and the 4th, 8th, and 12th Legions to attack the eastern heights! ā€

"Yes!"

The reason why Joseph did not order a counterattack against the frontal Zhang Liaobu was mainly because he thought that attacking the Zhang Liaobu, which was also in the basin, would not be of the slightest use to their current situation, but he did not dare not guard against the Zhang Liaobu, so he did not put all his forces into the assault on the high ground on the east and west.

The 120,000 Jin army roared towards the high ground west of Cao Cao's location with the 30,000 Goshawk Legion as the vanguard, roaring, with a desperate posture.

The corners of Cao Cao's mouth twitched.

The 120,000 Jin army rushed to the high ground on the west side, and the Wei army crossbowmen above kept unleashing a dense rain of arrows, and in addition to the desperate roar of the Jin army, the neighing of the rain of arrows piercing the air, and the Jin soldiers fell one after another.

The thunder swarm sent out a roar towards the Jin army not far away, and when he landed, he saw that the Jin soldiers were lifted into the sky one after another, the scene was really very shocking, although the siege effect of this thunder swarm was limited, but the striking effect on the living force was really eye-catching.

Suddenly, there was a muffled thunderous sound in the distance, it was the roar of a catapult. It turned out that at this time, the follow-up army of more than 50 troops of the Jin State Army encountered the troops responsible for blocking the Wei army.

"Your Majesty, it's also started over there!" Xiahou said.

Cao Cao nodded.

The Jin army, which was attacking the high ground on the west side, finally attacked the front of the Wei army after paying a great price, and roared and crashed into the Wei army's spear line with a fierce shout, with a taste of venting.

The Jin army desperately rushed forward, but due to the characteristics of the spear front, the Jin people suffered great casualties, but the effect was not good, but the Wei army's spear front was still squeezed into a depression by the surging Jin army, and it was not impossible for the Jin people to break through the spear line if it continued to develop like this.

The Wei army ordered the flag to dance in a hurry.

The general in charge of commanding the pikefront immediately ordered the line to disperse. When he landed, the original linear line became several circles in a group.

Thinking that the Wei army had been defeated, the Jin army shouted excitedly, surging in through the gap between the circular formations, but was surprised to find that tens of thousands of Wei crossbowmen were staring at them, and tens of thousands of crossbowmen were arranged in echelons on the high ground in front of the Jin army.

Jin Guojun couldn't help but be stunned.

There was a loud buzz, and a rain of arrows that was extremely dense came towards you.

The soldiers of the Jin State Army couldn't help but turn pale, and before they could react, many of the soldiers of the Jin State Army were knocked to the ground by the rain of arrows. (To be continued.) )
