Most fateful ancient battles began early in the morning.

It is not surprising at all that the most important thing in fighting a war is light.

In the summer and autumn decisive battles, you have to get up a little earlier, fill your stomach a little earlier, and then it may be a long day, and the most patient team will finally maintain the formation and win.

Teams that don't eat and drink well tend to collapse the fastest.

In today's modern army, there is a saying that "half an instructor at the top of a cooking class", and during World War II, the food of the German army was the best on the battlefield, and they had the advantage in the army, until the American army appeared with Coca-Cola - and the situation changed.

Early in the morning, soldiers in Yangzhou were slaughtering livestock.

Pigs screamed in the city.

Xu Yongzhi thought of the topic that Liu Liangzuo discussed with him, what would happen to an army that was about to be defeated.

In fact, the fact that they were ready to eat up all their cattle and fine grain was a clear sign that they were not prepared to hold on after a defeat in the field.

Li Chongjin's soldiers didn't mind any greasyness, and everyone was silent and feasting.

In fact, before the battle starts, you shouldn't eat like this.

Until World War I, German and Austro-Hungarian officers' manuals still instructed soldiers not to eat too much pork, because pork was more oily and had more bacteria - there was not so much feed in enemy-occupied areas, pigs ate dung), and soldiers were prone to diarrhea.

Bread, dried meats and cheese were better foods that provided calories but didn't make a fuss in the stomach, as Genghis Khan's army later swept through Asia and Europe.

"I don't care about food and drink, and I ignore all taboos, which shows that Li Chongjin is just bent on death, and he gave up." Xu Yongzhi said softly to Fei Yanggu.

"Let's stand still. When the lady takes the city gate, let our infantry rush directly into Yangzhou. Fei Yanggu said.

"Yes, that's what it means." Xu Yongzhi said.

When Li Chongjin's troops opened the city gate and set up the formation, it was already early in the morning, and the sun was high.

"These people are too lazy too." Fei Yanggu looked disgusted.

"It's not pure laziness," said Xu Yongzhi, "he wants to take advantage of the sun, he strikes from the south, and when it is close to noon, our army is backlit." ”

"I see, I want the archers to shoot inaccurately." Fei Yanggu said.

Li Chongjin's soldiers were about 10,000 and about 3,000 cavalry, of which the mounted cavalry was about 1,000. Because the sun was behind him, Li Chongjin put these heavy cavalry at the front, counting on a wave of impact to directly defeat the Song army in front of him.

His positive face is none other than Li Chuyun.

One is desperate, and the other is long-term.

"It's really spectacular, it's a pity that such a powerful soldier is the enemy." Xu Yongzhi couldn't help but praise.

"If adults can become Huainan's festival envoys, they can also afford to raise such soldiers." Fei Yanggu whispered.

"I want to too, but you see, today is Li Chuyun's home field, and we are supporting roles. He did a beautiful job from the start, disintegrating the enemy before he even made his move. Xu Yongzhi said.

"Don't praise others, don't we also get into the enemy's interior, and the adults are also great in this matter." Fei Yanggu said.

"There is only one festival envoy in Huainan." Xu Yongzhi said.

"General Li might also die in battle, right?" Fei Yanggu said.

"Don't say such terrible things," Xu Yongzhi said, "This is the big stage of his life, and we don't steal the show." ”

Fei Yanggu felt speechless, he was born as an old official, and he was very clear about the means of officialdom, so he mentioned a possibility, but when he heard Xu Yongzhi say this, he also felt relieved in his heart.

"We rob the soldiers, capture more prisoners, and we find a way to contain these elite soldiers and become our people." Xu Yongzhi said.

Li Chuyun's soldiers were very well prepared, and just as Li Chongjin's soldiers were killing pigs, they dug trenches.

Behind the trenches were a movable fence, heavy infantry in foot armor set up their spears, and archers behind them prepared longbows and crossbows.

"It's perfect," Fei Yanggu looked down from the mast, "but the trench is a little shallow." ”

"It's too tight from the water to dig deep." Xu Yongzhi said.

"What should I do in this situation?" Fei Yanggu really doesn't understand.

"I will let the soldiers use more jars and bury them in front of the position, specifically to wound the horses and feet of the cavalry." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Wonderful, my lord, did you come up with it yourself?" Fei Yanggu said.

"When I went to the northwest that year, the locals told me not to go to a certain grassland casually, saying that otters, rabbits, and rats were infested there, and horses' feet would break if they stepped on them." Xu Yongzhi said.

Li Chongjin's cavalry began to slowly approach the Song army's bow and arrow area.

If it is a clumsy general, at this time it will be shouted that the soldier shoots arrows.

Li Chuyun definitely wouldn't, knowing that the thrown bow and arrow was effective against infantry without a shield in the distance, but dealing with mounted cavalry was like tickling.

"Wait, wait."

Lee's knights began to pick up speed.

"Put!"

This wave of bows and arrows was released, and it was not the knights who shot at them, but the light cavalry that followed closely behind them, and this wave of cavalry was very special, in addition to the soldiers on horseback, there was also an infantry with a stake or dirt bag on his back.

"Where there are those who dig holes, there are those who fill them." Fei Yanggu said.

This wave of bows and arrows knocked down a large area of light cavalry and infantry riding cavalry.

Li Chuyun smiled cautiously: "Li Envoy is nothing more than that." ”

We all know that when a cautious person suddenly becomes proud, there is only one situation:

The reversal is coming.

A huge shadow emerges from the sun.

Gray feathers, shaggy paws.

The wings spread, about the length of a dozen horses.

It swept over Song Jun's head, and everyone was stunned, even Li Chuyun.

On the left flank of Li Chuyun was Xu Yongzhi's team led by Xu Taishi, and all the horses refused to advance and kicked up. The sailors of the Qingjiang Gang were also lying on the board, trembling.

On the right flank was Wang Xianqi's horse army, which was also in chaos, and Wang Xianqi asked loudly: "Who saw it, is it a dragon?" Is it a dragon? ”

Not a dragon.

It does not have scale armor.

Coarse feathers cover the wings.

Xu Yongzhi saw its huge eagle beak from the side, as well as the huge claws on its hind limbs.

Fei Yanggu muttered, "Incredible, I, did I see the tiger flying?" ”

"Not a tiger."

A girl's voice replied.

Fei Yanggu turned to look at the voice and found that a girl he didn't know appeared on the boat.

She finally ...... Have you finally developed it......"

This girl is none other than Xu Yongzhi's cousin Tian Kokou, after saving the children, she and Duan Meimei placed the children in Yuzhou's home, the two of them combined, instead of sending a bad news to distract Xu Yongzhi, it is better to go directly to the battlefield to find him, this came to the vicinity of Yangzhou, just in time for this peculiar decisive battle, the two decided, Duan Meimei to find a way to control the city gate, and Tian Kokou went to the boat to find Xu Yongzhi, her witchcraft may play a greater role in the water war.

"What is this?" Xu Yongzhi asked.

"Cousin, this is a griffin, an ancient divine beast in the chaotic world, which has been extinct for thousands of years, although there is no distinction between good and evil, but the wizards of the evil sect like to raise them very much, Li Forsythia, raised it...... I'm afraid the leakage of the power of the chaotic world will be very serious...... "This is the first time that Tian Kokou has felt fear, not for the griffin, but for the unexpected connection between the two worlds.

"Coco, how does this guy fight, Spitfire?" Xu Yongzhi shouted loudly.

Tian Kokou came back to his senses, that's right, he had to hurry up to avoid the collapse of the Song army, otherwise he didn't know how many people would die.

"It mainly uses its claws, it's a melee fight, it may have a wizard on its back, but it doesn't like fire, the wizard can't set fire on its back, the wizard may start attacking after landing on the ground." Tian Kokou said.

"Fei Shuai, let our ships hold the river, cooperate with the Song army's sailors, infantry and archers to go ashore, and attack Li Chongjin's army with all our might!"

"Coco, you open the portal and send me to my eldest brother Zhao Kuangyin! If he misses anything, it's all over! ”

"Good!" Hurry up and do it.

"My lord, what should I do with the little noble lady?" Fei Yanggu asked, "Her and Datou's task is to seize the city gate, and the two of them can't beat so many people without answering!" ”

"Don't worry, Sister Meimei has gone!" Kou Ko hurriedly said to Xu Yongzhi.

"Then don't be afraid!" Xu Yongzhi shouted and passed through the portal.

The portal appeared in front of the Song Army's Huangluo umbrella cover, and several vigilant guards were about to launch arrows, but they were quickly stopped by Zhao Kuangyin.

"My own people!"

Xu Yongzhi and Tian Kokou came out of the light.

"Official!" Xu Yongzhi was a little embarrassed, and his voice changed.

"Yongzhi! Good time, the enemy this time is a big guy. ”

Zhao Kuangyin took a hard bow and stood on the ground looking at the griffins that were getting closer and closer, and the horses were shocked, so everyone dismounted.

The boss is the boss, and people are really calm.

When a general must avoid emotional fluctuations, watching the comrades-in-arms around him fall to the ground one by one, how to act and how to act, this is the material of a general.

"Official, let me command the ballista!" Xu Yongzhi has no nonsense.

Most of the siege machinery is the drawings designed by his uncle Tian Dabang, how to command, Xu Yongzhi is able to eat.

"Ballistas, divine arm bows are under the command of Xu Jin!" Zhao Kuangyin said loudly.

"It's ugly two points, double shot, put!"

Two giant crossbow bolts more than six feet long struck the griffin with ropes, one of which flew past with a left wing, and the griffon's cry was full of rage.

"Reload!" The four gunners shouted.

"Divine Arm Bow Aim!"

The divine arm bow is the foot crossbow of the Song army, and there are ten crossbows by Zhao Kuangyin's side.

"Aim...... Aim for ......"

"Ballista reloaded!"

"Aim horizontally, aim with two shots!"

"Bastard, you're using the emperor as bait!" Zhao Pu shouted loudly.

"Zeping!" Zhao Kuangyin stopped him, "This is a martial artist's business, leave it to Xu Jin!" ”

He calmly waited for Xu Jin to solve the problem.

The griffin swooped down, Zhao Pu covered his ears, and everyone heard the howling of the wind breaking through the air!

"Put!"

At the same time that the ten divine arm bows were fired together, Xu Yongzhi threw himself backwards, and he stood still in front of Zhao Kuangyin.

The griffon sprints close to the ground, and in order to avoid the ballista and the Divine Arm Bow, it is forced to dash parallel from the ground, which reduces its speed and strength a lot.

"Ballista, let's go!"

The two giant crossbow arrows pierced both of the griffin's wings perfectly, and the griffin let out a terrifying cry.

"Okay!" Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but scream loudly.

Although the griffon's wings were injured, its body kept rushing forward due to inertia.

"Spearman!" Xu Yongzhi roared loudly.

There were thousands of guards in front of the palace, using spears to prevent the griffons from colliding.

This monster is also quite brave, and actually uses its two front paws to remove the spear.

Only then did Xu Yongzhi see the griffin's body structure clearly.

Completely different from the dragon, its wings are not forelimbs, but rib structures derived from the spine.

So, it also has two ferocious, murderous front paws.

"Divine Arm Bow! Eyes, free fire! Xu Yongzhi shouted loudly.

The griffin has a thick layer of eyelids, and as long as it closes its eyes, the crossbow bolts can't hurt it, so at this moment, all attacks can only make it miss and miss.

The griffon's claw struck a spearman, and the heavy infantry armor was instantly hollowed out on the spot, and the soldier looked at his hollowed-out stomach in disbelief, and died of rage.

Just when everyone was focusing on the griffin, a tightly masked woman quietly pounced on Zhao Kuangyin, and her light skills were quite good.

The left hand is ice, the right hand is fire, the woman pushed with both hands, and these two spells went straight to Zhao Kuangyin.

Tian Kokou came for this, and with a wave of her hands, she easily caught the two spells.

"Give it up." Tian Kokou spoke to the woman.

The other party did not speak either.

She seemed to try to avoid anyone recognizing her face and voice.

When Tian Kokou was fighting against the witch, Xu Yongzhi commanded the warriors of the forbidden army to surround the griffin.

"Hammer!"

A soldier shoved a hammer into his hand.

Xu Yongzhi swung his hammer and slammed the griffon's skull.

This has been the case since ancient times.

If you can't use ice, try changing the fire; If you can't use thunder, try to change the poison; If you can't get hurt by the puncture, try to change the blunt instrument.

Xu Yongzhi's blow obviously hurt the griffin, and it grabbed it hard and was dodged by Xu Yongzhi's rolling.

"It works!"

Someone threw out the Meteor Hammer, although this thing is light, but it is enough to smash it on the griffin's eye socket to drink a pot, especially since the Meteor Hammer has a cable, and it can be retracted and hit again.

Some soldiers with only swords were already holding stones.

"It eats blunt objects, and uses all the guys on it!"

At this time, a laugh sounded louder than its cry from behind the griffin.

"Big brother! Great official! Big brother-in-law! Don't worry, I'm here to hunt the birds! ”

Xu Yongzhi suddenly ate iced watermelon on dog days:

"Alright, it's okay now! My brother Duan Zishou is here! ”
