Chapter 528: A "no-brainer" battle



The next day, at the hour of Mao.

Mo Qiandai personally ordered an army of 120,000 to march to Wuding!

Starting from Jiaonan Road, we traveled quickly all the way and arrived at the bank of Wuding River in just one hour.

Mo Qiandai sat high on his horse in the center of the army and could see the burned and ruined Wuding City at a glance.

Although he had heard reports from the scouts many times before, he was still shocked and relieved when he saw it with his own eyes.

The approaching army soon alarmed the Yong army on the opposite side, and bursts of drum sounds were heard from the other side.

Deputy General Chang rode his horse beside Mo Qiandai and said excitedly, "General, they are coming!"

I saw the Yong army coming quickly in two groups from behind Wuding City. In front of me, there were waving flags, beating drums, and the sound of footsteps was sonorous and noisy. I could hear it clearly across the Wuding River.

Before the army set out, Mo Qiandai had already made it clear that the 200,000-strong army of Wuding had been destroyed, and now only the 30,000-strong Beiding garrison was struggling to survive.

But when the Northern Army looked over, it seemed like there were tens of thousands of people on the opposite side!

Seeing this scene, Mo Qiandai raised his lips and sneered.

"Qiao Zhongguo is really at the end of his rope, and he actually used the Mysterious Nang Formation."

"If I didn't know Wu Ding's background, this plan might still be able to deceive people, but the fire in the city has been burning for a day and a night. If I use this formation again, it will only deceive myself and others!"

Upon hearing this, Deputy General Chang hastily agreed: "General, Qiao Zhongguo was indeed brave in the past, but he has been away from the army for more than ten years. The glory and wealth of the capital may have long exhausted his sharpness and courage."

Mo Qiandai waved his hand when he heard this, "Don't underestimate him, first stabilize the army and cross the river!"

Upon seeing this, Deputy General Chang immediately stopped talking, then drew out the long sword beside his saddle and said in a stern voice: "This is a deliberate attempt by the Yong army to confuse the enemy. The enemy has only 30,000 men. We will win today's battle!"

"The general has ordered us to cross the river!"

"yes!"

The orders were passed down layer by layer, and the majestic roar of the 120,000-strong army instantly drowned out the drumbeats on the other side of the river.

The rain in the north usually occurs from late July to early August. Now it is June and the water level in the Wuding River is not rushing, so even Pufa is not needed.

The vanguard of the Northern Army, armed with shields and spears, stepped into the Wuding River and forced their way across.

Qiao Zhongguo rode his horse and stood in the army. Seeing this, he swung the sword in his hand to the side.

Xiao Qianyue was wearing military uniform, holding a small red flag in each hand, and standing in front of the formation with his back to the Wuding River. When he saw Qiao Zhongguo's order, he nodded heavily.

The next moment, she raised the small flag in her hand and waved it to the left and right, shouting:

"Archers, sword and shield soldiers, listen up! Form a goose formation!"

As soon as Xiao Qianyue finished speaking, the soldiers holding shields and bows in the front army immediately dispersed to the left and right. Their movements were swift but orderly, like a wild goose spreading its wings.

All the troops were in place. Xiao Qianyue received Qiao Zhongguo's gaze and immediately swung his hands downwards, "Shoot!"

Bows and arrows shot up into the sky, strings buzzing, heading straight for the Northern Kingdom’s army crossing the river!

Screams rang out instantly, and the water of the Wuding River turned blood-red.

But almost at the same time, the Northern Army also formed its battle formation, and long arrows flew towards the Wuding front army in order to cover the river crossing operation.

Hearing the sound of arrows raining behind him, Xiao Qianyue raised her hands without waiting for Qiao Zhongguo's instructions, and the small flag in her hand turned blue.

"Shield up!"

So the sword and shield soldiers immediately raised their long shields to protect the archers, and Xiao Qianyue also crouched down and dodged in time.

Bang bang bang!

The long arrows hit the shield, and the sound was endless.

Xiao Qianyue turned her head through the gap in the shield formation and saw that the first batch of Northern Army had successfully crossed the river.

"kill!"

At this time, shouts of killing came from the right wing. It turned out that the vanguard cavalry led by Qiao Diyi had rushed up and strangled the Northern Army that had landed.

Blood was flying everywhere, and the Northern Army who had just landed were beheaded before they could even stand firm.

Actual hand-to-hand combat was the most inspiring. When the 30,000 Yong soldiers saw how brave the young general was, the shock and fear they had just felt when they saw the 120,000-strong army also disappeared quietly at this moment.

The current short-term situation is indeed very good, but Qiao Zhongguo's expression is still solemn, and Mo Qiandai opposite him didn't even raise an eyebrow.

120,000 versus 30,000, this was a battle without suspense. If it weren't for the fact that the opposing main general was Qiao Zhongguo, he would have been more relaxed and bold in this battle.

Crossing a river is bound to result in casualties. After all, this "bridge across the river" is always built with human lives.

Sure enough, the advantage in numbers was reflected at this time. The Northern Army continued to cross the river, and the vanguard led by Qiao Diyi could not kill them all.

Seeing that more and more Northern troops were landing, the Wuding Central Army also raised their spears. Each of them had a resolute look and had long since put life and death aside.

We agreed yesterday that we would not be afraid, would not be scared, would not retreat, and would rather die than surrender!

As a man of Yong Dynasty, you must keep your word!

It is impossible to get away today. As for my parents, wife, children, brothers and sisters who are waiting for me to come back home, or my beloved who is in tears when I say goodbye...

Aren’t they fighting this battle just to protect them?

Last night, they camped in the wilderness, facing the starry sky, and they had already made a decision among their comrades:

In the end, if anyone is still alive, don’t forget to go home and visit the dead. They even left their last words, and forced each other to memorize them!

If...if no one survives in the end, that doesn't matter.

They died with dignity on their country's borders, and one day, the wind from the north will cross the mountains and rivers, bringing their thoughts and reluctance back home.

The Wuding front army had already come head-on into contact with the Northern Army. Seeing this, Qiao Zhongguo drew his sword and stepped forward, standing in front of everyone as he had promised.

"If a man doesn't show his ambition, his eight-foot body is wasted! My men, follow me and kill!"

As Qiao Zhongguo raised his sword, the soldiers behind him all became furious and shouted, "Kill!"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Qianyue immediately placed the two flags in his hands behind his waist, tightly grasped the silver spear beside him, and joined the vanguard of the fight without hesitation.

Women are as loyal and brave as men!

One day, she will gather a group of brave girls to form a unique all-female army to compete with the boys!

The fighting was brutal, with real swords and guns, and blood and flesh flying everywhere.

Qiao Diyi was extremely brave and courageous. He was surrounded by countless Northern Army soldiers. Knowing that he was the son of Qiao Zhongguo, they all wanted to chop off his head and gain the first credit.

Qiao Diyi turned his spear and stabbed it into the throat of a Northern Army soldier. In the midst of his busy schedule, he turned his head to look for Xiao Qianyue.

When he saw that Xiao Qianyue's spear had already created a shadow, shocking the Northern Army and causing them to exclaim in surprise, the corners of his mouth immediately raised high.

carefree!

Xiang Wenqi always followed closely beside Qiao Diyi. He changed his appearance again today and kept an eye on the Northern Army's crossing of the river.

According to his understanding, in the Northern Army, the East Camp is mostly the vanguard, usually taking the lead, while the West Camp is mostly the reserve. If he guessed correctly, they should be left behind to guard the Jiaocheng military camp.

The South Camp and the North Camp are the main forces of the central army, and during drills, the South Camp is often in charge of the left wing.

Thinking of this, Xiang Wenqi immediately looked towards the left wing of the Northern Army.

Qiao Diyi knew that Xiang Wenqi was doing something important, so he took up his gun without hesitation to cover him.

After a while, Xiang Wenqiu's eyes lit up and he whispered to Qiao Diyi, "Major General, I saw them, they are crossing the river!"
