The infantry formation and the defensive line built by their bows and crossbows might be able to be broken through by the Imperial Guard and the Seventeen Riders of Yanyun, but the losses would certainly be heavy.
"Who says we have to charge in? Can't we just lure them out?"
"Lure? How do we lure them?" they both asked in unison.
“We’ll charge toward that mudflat! He Jin and his men will surely think we’ll take the fortress from the side.”
"The moment we move, they all move."
“If they make a move, they will reveal a weakness, and then we can launch a surprise attack.”
Liu Wei began to explain slowly.
"We two will obey our lord's orders."
The two had long recognized the brilliance of Liu Wei's military tactics.
Although each attempt was purely imaginative and improvised, they were incredibly lucky and achieved unexpected results.
"Now mount your horses, shout, and follow me toward the mudflats."
Liu Wei mounted his horse.
Immediately following was a rustling sound, the sound of the armor of the guards rubbing together.
"General, General Yuan, they've all mounted their horses!"
The movements of Liu Wei and his men on the hill had already been reported to He Jin and his companion by scouts.
"As expected, they're launching an attack! If we stay here any longer, we'll either freeze to death or die in battle!"
He Jin wrapped his fox fur tightly around himself and wiped his runny nose.
He also discovered this problem: after nightfall, if no fire could be lit for warmth, the cold wind along the Yellow River would be enough to freeze anyone to death.
Liu Wei couldn't stay put, and neither could they.
It would be terrible if these soldiers couldn't stand the cold and mutinied on the spot!
Because many people ran all night last night and then ran all day again during the day.
If he still has to endure the cold at night, then even if Old Man Wang comes that day, he will no longer serve He Jin.
"You, you must go into battle! You must do as Yuan Tai said and lead them to the mudflats of the Yellow River. Do you understand?"
He Jin immediately ordered his fifty guards and the seventy assassins he had gathered along the way to set out.
Both groups of people readily agreed.
In particular, these seventy assassins all revealed a severe bloodlust and fanaticism.
They died for their families.
Now that He Miao is dead, He Jin is their new master. Shouldn't they make a good impression now?
"kill!"
Immediately, the two groups of people grabbed their weapons and charged towards Liu Wei's direction.
"What? Just over a hundred people, are they here to administer medicine?"
Liu Wei was puzzled because the enemy had sent over a hundred men to attack before he had even mounted his horse and taken any action.
"Kill these hundred men first, then go to the mudflats!"
Based on the principle that "since they've already come all this way," Liu Wei was determined not to let them leave alive!
So he, along with the Imperial Guard and the Seventeen Riders of Yanyun, stood ready for battle.
