(The previous chapter was slightly modified.) ）

At the same time, on the city wall of Jizhou City, Deng Zhong and Zhang Jie, two generals, were inspecting the west city.

"Big brother, do you think the merchant army really dares to come?"

While walking around the city to check the defense, Tao Rong asked Deng Zhong.

"The military advisor said that they would come, then they would definitely come! The military advisor asked us to step up the garrison, and we will step up the garrison, and the military advisor will definitely not be wrong!"

Deng Zhong said with a smile.

"Hmm. The tactics of the military division, I have not said that I have seen it all these years, and I have never even heard of it!"

Tao Rong also smiled.

Since following Meng Chen, the Jizhou army has won several battles, and even the famous Qinglong Pass Zhang Guifang has been planted under the city of Jizhou. This made the four brothers of Huanghuashan have a stronger sense of belonging to Jizhou.

"Yes, but we can't be careless, let's patrol the city. ”

Deng Zhong nodded and continued to walk forward.

......

At this moment, Meng Chen was cultivating on the earth.

About half an hour later, my mother sent another message.

According to the investigation of Gao Ming and Gao Jue's brothers, the Xiqi battalion is reorganizing the army, and it should be sent to Jizhou.

Now if there is anything about the two brothers, Gao Ming and Gao Jue, they will directly convey it to Su Hu. Regarding the identities of the two, Meng Chen temporarily explained that he was the head of an intelligence gathering organization that he secretly set up.

After receiving Gao Ming's report, Meng Chen just smiled faintly and continued his cultivation.

This, too, was within his expectations.

If you talk about who is most anxious in the current situation, it is undoubtedly Nangong Shi and Tai Dian, the Xiqi Army.

Previously, the Xiqi army did not accept the surrender of Jizhou, and did not inform the northern princes and the army of Jili Yuqing about the Jizhou army's escort of Daji to Chaoge. When the Jili Yuqing Army, the 36th Route Northern Princes Alliance, and the Qinglong Pass Zhang Guifang Army arrived successively, the Xiqi Army still flatly denied receiving the Jizhou surrender table.

Now that the Yin Shang multi-way army has defeated Jizhou in successive battles, then this matter, in Chaoge City, there will inevitably be people who will question it. This must be Nangong Shi and Taidian, and they should also be very clear in their hearts.

......

Soon, it was in the afternoon.

Gao Ming and Gao Jue brothers sent information again, about 50,000 people from the Xiqi army poured out, Yu Qing reorganized the 10,000 northern princes who fled back to the camp this morning, and he also transferred 20,000 horses, and ordered the Qinglongguan army to also transfer 40,000 people, and detour to the west and the two armies converged.

The three-way army has a total of 120,000 troops, and it is only seven or eight miles away from the west city of Jizhou.

This is basically all the troops that the current four-way Yin Shang army can gather.

Without hesitation, Meng Chen immediately descended to the Divine World.

The imperial envoy double-line sword embryo came all the way to the West City. Standing in the air, the vanguard of the 100,000 merchant army had come to a place only four or five miles away from Xicheng.

Seeing Meng Chen appear, Deng Zhong and Zhang Jie immediately rushed over.

"Strategist. ”

"Strategist. ”

The two came to Meng Chen's approach and bowed to each other.

"Well, the cities are ready, right?"

Meng Chen smiled faintly and asked.

"According to the instructions of the military advisor, everything is ready!"

Deng Zhong nodded heavily.

"Very good, defend the West City, I'll take a look at the front. ”

Meng Chen gave a casual order, and then the sword flew over the "Xicheng Camp" where more than 80,000 captives of the Northern Princes' coalition army were imprisoned, and flew towards the 30,000 guards led by Su Quanzhong, Zheng Lun, Xin Huan, Tao Rong, Long Xuhu and other generals.

Nowadays, among the garrisons of the cities, the western city is the most heavily defended.

On the city wall, in addition to the ordinary city guards, there were 1,000 strong soldiers, controlling the 300 heavy bed crossbows he left behind, and 2,000 archers were on standby, closely monitoring the troops who were imprisoned under the city walls.

Outside the city, the 30,000 Jizhou army surrounded the "camp" that forbade the surrender of troops on three sides, and the 3,000 archers inside built a wooden platform outside the camp, stood on the wooden platform and stretched their bows and arrows, aiming at the surrendered troops gathered in the core of the camp.

The main force of the 30,000 Jizhou Army, with 27,000 people, was deployed on the periphery to form a defense and was ready for battle.

In fact, such a battle formation layout is a taboo for soldiers.

If in this case, it is not possible to induce the Yin Shang army to attack, then Meng Chen also intends to give up some of the plans in the future.

......

Meng Chen flew to the front of the army, and the generals Su Quanzhong, Zheng Lun, Xin Huan and other generals who led the army also immediately surrounded him.

"Strategist, it's all ready!"

There was a hint of nervousness in Su Quanzhong's eyes.

On the entire Jizhou Army, the only people who knew Meng Chen's overall plan best were Su Hu, Su Quanzhong, Su Ji, and Meng Chen himself.

Su Quanzhong also knew that the envoy of Chaoge was on his way to Jizhou, and according to Meng Chen's plan, today was the final battle among all the actions!

At this moment, Su Quanzhong was slightly nervous.

Because in Meng Chen's plan, this last step is very important, not only about whether or not the Yin Shang army can be finally defeated, but also for the development of Jizhou after the war!

"Well, the Yin Shang army is about to arrive, and everyone is doing their duty. ”

Meng Chen smiled.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

......

Su Quanzhong, Zheng Lun, Xin Huan and others bowed down together and agreed.

About two moments later, the horses' hooves in front of the Jizhou army were rumbling and dusty, and the 120,000 Yin Shang army had come to the front of the battle not far away.

No one came out to speak, and after the Yin Shang army arrived, they immediately set up a position and charged towards the Jizhou army.

As for the general call for the battle general, it is directly exempted!

At this moment, where are the generals in the Yin Shang army who dare to go out and call for the Jizhou army?

Isn't that a long life?

Chariots and heavy shields are in front, archers are on the side, and the horse army is hidden behind, and the 40,000 forwards of the Yin Shang army are rushing towards the Jizhou army like a tide.

"Heavy crossbow waiting!"

When the Yin Shang army rushed to five or six hundred meters away, Meng Chen immediately activated the power of the Yang and shouted.

"Zheng Zheng Zheng ......"

The forward of the Jizhou Army fired 500 heavy bed crossbows and three-bow bed crossbows at the same time.

"Knock ...... Puff puff puff ......"

Hundreds of huge crossbow arrows pierced through heavy shields, tore chariots, and swooped into the enemy line like the scythe of death, killing and wounding Yin Shang's soldiers in large numbers.

This three-bow bed crossbow originated in the Song Dynasty in history, and is known as the first cold weapon in the battle array. The general three-bow bed crossbow can be directly nailed into the city wall at close range, allowing soldiers to step on the crossbow arrows and arrows to go to the city to fight.

After the revival of the aura in the Ming Dynasty, this kind of bed crossbow was further strengthened, not only was the operation simpler, the range was longer, and the power was also greatly improved.

Although the Xiqi army was already on guard against this powerful weapon of the Jizhou army, it deliberately set up heavy shields, chariots and other objects in front of the charging army. However, the effect is still very limited.

A three-bow bed crossbow that can shoot into the city walls, where can ordinary heavy shields and ordinary chariots defend.

It was the defense of the vanguard of the merchant army, and it was just a three-bow bed crossbow that could kill and injure a dozen people with one arrow, and it became seven or eight people with one arrow.

However, the battle line of this battle was longer, and the crossbow arrows fired by the Jizhou army were more scattered, and the lethal effect produced was not much weaker than when it was against the Qinglongguan army that day.

After a round of arrow rain, three or four thousand people were killed and wounded, and the merchant camp was immediately in chaos, and most of the surviving soldiers turned pale, and the pace of the impact slowed down involuntarily, and some even wanted to turn back and avoid it, so that others could meet the crossbow arrows.

"Those who dare to retreat, slash!"

Nangong Shi, who was hidden in the middle of the battle array, immediately shouted.

Thousands of Overseer guards rushed out and slashed to death hundreds of soldiers who tried to retreat.

"There are not many heavy crossbows in the Jizhou army, everyone takes advantage of the situation to attack, as long as they rush closer, they can be broken in one fell swoop!"

Nangong Shi shouted loudly, and the thousands of Overseer guards were like wolves and tigers, driving the surviving heavy shieldmen and chariots to continue to advance.

I have to say that the overall quality of the Xiqi army is indeed higher than that of other soldiers of the Shang army, although it has been defeated in successive battles, the morale of the Jizhou army is so low that it can hardly raise its head. But now, under the persecution of the Overseer's personal guards, many of the soldiers have become bloody, screaming strangely, and continue to pounce on the front of the formation.

However, blood alone is not enough, and the excessive gap in weapons determines that whoever is more bloody among the Xiqi soldiers will die faster.

In just a moment, the second round of heavy crossbow arrows and arrows of the Jizhou Army struck again.

This time the damage was even greater, and four or five thousand merchant soldiers were either killed or wounded.

However, the desperate impact of the Xiqi Army's advance also played a role, and there was only two or three hundred meters left from the Jizhou Army's forward.

But at the same time, the destruction of the heavy shieldmen and chariots was also extremely serious, almost half of the chariots and horses lost their combat power, and more than half of the heavy shieldmen were not killed and wounded, and could not pounce forward.

"Victory is at hand, charge with all your might!"

Nangong Shi and the thousands of Overseer guards roared loudly, mercilessly driving the soldiers forward and charging forward.

"Zheng Zheng Zheng ......"

The third round of the rain of bolts struck again.

In the midst of a miserable rain of blood, the heavy shields and chariots of the merchant army were almost completely depleted.

But the forward of the Xiqi Army finally approached within 100 meters.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Meng Chen's side immediately ordered.

"Sneer......"

The three-bow bed crossbow retreated, and thousands of archers, under the cover of two thousand heavy shieldmen, shot a dense rain of arrows.

"Archer shoots back!"

Almost at the same time, the Xiqi army immediately sent archers to shoot at the Jizhou army camp.

It's a pity that the Xiqi army's side has heavy shields and chariots are exhausted, and their own side can only attack and cannot defend, and they are killed and wounded in an instant.

On the other hand, on the side of the Jizhou army, under the protection of the heavy shield men, the archers had almost no losses.

However, after a round of arrow rain shooting, the Xiqi army recommended a section forward again, and there was only a few tens of meters left from the Jizhou army's forward.

"Crossbowmen retreat, cavalry charge!"

Nangong Shi's eyes were shining, and he gave orders sharply.

"Whoa......

As if pardoned, the archers quickly retreated, revealing the large number of cavalry hidden in the rear.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The cavalry of the brigade rushed out, braved the rain of arrows of the Jizhou army, formed a fan-like shape, and rushed towards the Jizhou army formation.

However, when they approached within about thirty or forty meters, and could even see the expressions on the faces of the Jizhou forward soldiers, there was a sudden change!

"Boom...... Sigh Rhythm ......"

The cavalry at the forefront of the Xiqi army suddenly lost their hooves and fell into the trap of the ravine.
