……

The waves are rolling, rolling up the yellow sand in the sky, and the remnant sun is like blood, reflecting the winter ice and snow.

Outside the city, a group of civilians with frosty sores on their palms under the command of Han soldiers struggled to dig trenches and wrap barbed wire.

Among the civilians, there were all the elderly, weak, women and children, even if they were red from the cold, they still resolutely helped the "invaders" to set up a defensive line to resist the Jin army.

Suddenly, a sentry horse galloped and went straight to Yue Shaomu's station.

"Report ~ General Qiyu Yue, ten miles ahead, I found a large number of enemy troops approaching."

Yue Shaomu frowned: "How many people are there?" ”

"There are no less than two thousand cavalry, and about eight thousand infantry, totaling about 10,000 horses."

"Probe!"

"Whoa!"

As soon as the horse left, Yue Shaomu immediately got up and ordered loudly: "All arms for war!" ”

……

Sixty miles away from the Han army's defense line, Jisang's headquarters marched for one day and rested on the second day before arriving.

In Jisang's army, almost everyone wears armor, and there is a penetration rate of up to 30% of iron armor, especially among the cavalry, nearly 1,000 cavalry are wearing two or even three layers of iron armor, which looks like a steel chariot from a distance, which makes people suffocate to watch.

"Ha~"

Jisang, on horseback, exhaled a turbid breath, looked at the defensive line arranged by the Han army, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

"The barbarian state knows a lot about the art of war, what can a few lines be wrapped around a few rows of stakes?"

"Hahaha~~"

His words caused the surrounding Jin soldiers to burst into laughter.

"Brothers, break through the Dongyi defense line, enter Lucheng, and don't seal the sword for three days!"

"Roar~~"

When Jin Bing heard this, the wolf howl suddenly stopped.

"Kill~~"

With a roar and shouting, a thousand heavily armored iron horsemen and a thousand iron horsemen opened the way, and the horse's hooves splashed thousands of feet of yellow sand, turning into clouds and rushing towards the front line of the Han army.

In the city, the people had already been placed in the inner city to avoid danger, huddled in a group and heard the scene of the shouting outside the city, and couldn't help but close their eyes nervously.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, holding a rusty wood knife, sat cross-legged in front of his parents, trembling uncontrollably from fear and nervousness.

Fortunately, at this moment, a pair of big hands pressed the young man's shoulders.

"Don't be afraid, young man, if the gold thief dares to kill you, he must first step over our corpses!"

The boy looked up and met a resolute face.

When he saw this face, the tension in the boy's body was finally relieved a little.

"Master Jun, are you really not afraid at all?"

"Afraid? Hehe, a rabble, what's so scary? ”

"But they are the most elite northern army in the Jin country!"

"Elite? Our Han army is fighting the elite! ”

The young man was stunned, he couldn't believe such a disparity in the crowd no matter what, how did these Han soldiers manage to keep their faces unchanged?

But his words made the boy and the civilians around him feel more reassured than ever.

The Han army defense line outside the city ......

The iron cavalry of the Jin army was killed in front of him in the blink of an eye, and it was less than three miles away from the defense line.

Yue Shaomu stared at the approach of the enemy's iron cavalry with a gloomy face until he entered the second mile distance......

"Fire!"

When the flag bearer heard this, he immediately waved the flag and passed the order to every artillery position.

"Boom~~~"

Three artillery arrays, a total of nine six-pounder guns, suddenly roared in all directions.

In an instant, Ji Sang, who was sitting in the rear, was stunned as he watched the smoke screen rising in the air, and slowly fell into the charging cavalry formation.

Rumble~

"Huh~~"

With a roar, a cannonball fell in the middle of a group of cavalry, and the horses neighed, throwing the cavalry on horseback to the ground.

The moment the heavy body fell to the ground, there was a sound of bones breaking.

A golden soldier was caught off guard by the frightened war horse overturned the horse's back, and the fate of falling off the horse's back from the full speed gallop can be imagined, and the moment he landed, he had already broken his head and neck......

Another shell landed on the hard ground, and immediately formed a ricochet, presenting a straight line and carving a bloody path directly in front of the first-line cavalry. As the horse's leg was broken and the neighing of grief arose, at least ten golden soldiers ended their lives or said goodbye to their military careers.

The same scene was constantly played out on the battlefield, and the first wave of cavalry charges was torn to pieces under the sharp attack of artillery.

But this cavalry of the Jin Army is indeed the head iron, and in the face of such a sharp artillery attack, it did not take half a step back, and still roared and charged forward.

"Rush over! Kill these Dongyi dog thieves! ”

The vanguard Ju Kang raised his thick-backed sword, roared to boost morale, and ordered the whole army to continue to charge.

However, at this moment, the Han artillery reverberated again.

But it was a salvo of five mortars, and shells loaded with ten pounds of grenades smashed into the enemy with angry flames.

The moment the grenade exploded, Yue Shaomu could see the enemy riders in the front rows like dominoes in the rear, and they fell to the ground one after another.

Puff puff~

"Uh~"

Several grenade iron beads exploded in mid-air, accompanied by a burst of gray smoke, and blood flowers bloomed around Jukang and his horses.

By the time the flowers had bloomed, Ju Kang had fallen to the ground, and when he looked sideways, he saw the corpse of his companion wailing for death.

Suddenly, a burst of pain struck, and when Ju Kang opened his mouth to moan, he only felt a suffocation, and then his eyes went dark, and he fell into reincarnation.

In this battle, the first middle-ranking officer of the Jin Army was killed on the battlefield, and the death was meaningless.

After the mortars, the remnants of the cavalry still rushed towards the enemy position, but they were greeted next by the infantry's single weapon: the Tiger Squat Cannon.

"Boom~~~"

Twenty tiger squatting cannons, wrapped in fan-shaped shotguns, once again bloomed on the enemy horsemen's body with clouds of blood mist.

"Ah~~"

In the face of such tragic casualties, the cavalry of the Jin Army, who had endured for a long time, finally bombed the camp and mutinied, and they turned their horses and fled as if leaving this place of death.

"A rabble!"

Looking at the thousands of cavalry who had fled back, Yue Shaomu just shook his head lightly, and immediately ordered the soldiers to start cleaning up the battlefield.

……

"Bastard!"

Losing the first battle and losing more than 800 horses, Jisang angrily whipped his horse on one of his own soldiers.

"In less than half an hour, two thousand iron horsemen have lost eight hundred, what are you dog slaves doing! He actually gave me a foreign appearance! ”

The soldiers were whipped and rolled on the ground, and the skin of the leather whip was opened.

The more Ji Sang fought, the more angry he became, and finally kicked directly on his own soldiers, causing a groan of pain.

Finally, he was tired, picked up the tea bowl and drank a sip of water, and said with a long breath: "Today's rush into battle, I didn't even touch the Dongyi side, it's really hateful." ”

Then he looked at the soldiers who were gritting their teeth on the ground, and shouted: "Are you dead?" Didn't die and stood up and spoke. ”

The soldier gritted his teeth and stood up.

"I ask you, how many soldiers and horses does the enemy have?"

The soldiers were stunned when they heard this, and then their eyes rolled and said: "General, although the little one didn't see how many people there were, he also saw the dense heads of the enemy soldiers, not to mention three or four thousand people......

"Three or four thousand?" Ji Sang's face sank, and his eyes seemed to be spitting out life.

When the soldiers heard this, they hurriedly said: "The general forgives his sins, not three or four thousand, but thirty or forty thousand, enough for thirty or forty thousand." ”

"Hmmm......"

Jisang nodded with satisfaction.

"In this way, I can explain to Zhang Gui Lao Pifu......
