Chapter 441 Cannon Fodder
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, both armies had completed their assembly.
What intrigued Shen Huaichen was that the Northern Hu people didn't actually intend to burn the grain supplies of Dayu this time.
Well, the people of Dayu didn't burn the grain and fodder of the Northern Hu people either.
Of course, someone made this suggestion to Changsheng Gong, but he rejected it.
"Why burn it? Will burning it give them an excuse to withdraw their troops?"
"I'm so happy they've finally assembled their army, why would I want to scare them away?"
Shen Huaichen then realized what was happening.
Yeah, it's not like we can't beat them, so why resort to those underhanded tactics!
There was nothing I could do about burning down the Sahara.
The Weiyuan Army's supplies were delayed, and the Northern Hu people were eyeing them covetously. We had to burn their supplies first to bring everyone on the same level!
Shen Huaichen understood; this meant having fire in hand and not panicking in mind.
The weather in the north in August was no longer hot. The soldiers, dressed in their battle robes, gripped their weapons tightly and stared intently ahead.
On the Northern Hu side, the vanguard was a densely packed cavalry force.
The colorful clothes clashed with the uniforms worn by the Northern Hu imperial court.
Further behind was the carriage of the Right Chancellor of the Northern Hu Imperial Court, accompanied by the young emperor and some officials.
They were surrounded by the imperial guards of the Northern Hu court.
Each of them was clad in heavy armor, providing impenetrable protection.
Now let's look at the Chongqing area.
Chang Sheng Gong stood at the forefront of the army with his generals.
Behind them were three rows of the newest armored vehicles, each with four fully armed soldiers standing on it.
Each vehicle was jet black and gleaming.
Next up are the cavalry units.
There were countless cavalrymen.
The only distinguishable feature was the meteor hammer-like weapon held by the cavalry in the front row.
The cavalrymen behind them all carried six-foot-long swords, and each of them looked imposing.
Emperor Xiao Wu's chariot was among these cavalrymen.
Today, Emperor Xiao Wu was not wearing a dragon robe, but rather armor.
He stood on his chariot, observing the battlefield.
......
“Children of the Wolf God, the opportunity bestowed upon us by Heaven has arrived.”
A hundred years ago, our ancestors conquered the once prosperous land of the Central Plains with their iron hooves.
Now it's our turn.
Do you still remember our faith?
Slaughter all the people of the Central Plains and turn them into two-legged sheep.
Let everyone in the world become the servants of the Wolf God!
"Warriors of the Wolf God, charge! Be the Wolf God's most valiant warriors..." The Right Chancellor delivered his pre-battle speech with spittle flying everywhere.
......
Emperor Xiao Wu looked at the dark mass of people opposite him with a cold expression.
"Soldiers of Dayu! A hundred years ago, the Central Plains were ravaged by the Hu people."
The vast land was destroyed, and the people were displaced, without a country or a home.
His wife and children were killed, his home was destroyed, and for miles around there were only bones, and no one lived.
"Soldiers, shall we avenge this humiliation?" Emperor Xiao Wu asked loudly.
"Report!" All the soldiers roared out this single word.
"Our home is right behind us; our families are waiting for us there."
"Can we tolerate the humiliation of the barbarians wanting to trample on our land again?" Emperor Xiao Wu asked again.
"No!" the soldiers roared again.
"For our families, for the Great Yu, and for future generations to no longer suffer from the invasion of the Hu people, we must win this battle."
Soldiers, guard every inch of the land of Chongqing.
For Chongqing!
"For the sake of Chongqing!"
......
The atmosphere on the battlefield immediately became tense.
Meanwhile, the people of Wuyun City, who had secretly begged the city guards to open the gates early in the morning and run out, also became restless.
Especially when they heard the soldiers shout the four words "For the Great Yu" that resounded throughout the entire battlefield.
Some children even followed suit, raising their hands and shouting, "For Chongqing! Charge!"
"Kill all the barbarians!"
The adults who came out with them...
The children, who had been glared at by the adults, immediately realized what was happening.
In terms of bloodline, they seem to be of Hu (non-Han) origin as well...
"Kill all the imperial court's lackeys!" the children immediately corrected...
Looking at the high morale of the Dayu army, the Right Chancellor narrowed his eyes.
"The vanguard! Charge! Let's wipe them out first and show these southern barbarians the power of the long-handled swords in the hands of us Hu people!"
rush! "
At the command of the Right Chancellor of the Northern Hu, the soldiers on the Northern Hu side immediately sounded the drums and horns to attack.
After a series of muffled drum and horn sounds, the cavalrymen at the forefront, wielding longswords, immediately charged forward.
Chang Sheng Gong still stood at the forefront of the army with his generals.
"Firearms units! Prepare!" Chang Shenggong said coldly.
The three rows of chariots behind him immediately moved forward about ten meters.
With the soldiers' skillful maneuvering, one black fireball after another was launched.
When those fire bombs exploded among the charging cavalry of the Northern Hu, everyone on the battlefield heard deafening explosions.
And a cacophony of wailing and howling...
