Turbulent Times Chapter 1407: Battle of heads

"Huang Lao, we still have 100,000 soldiers and horses in the city of Mayi County, and we have a lot of food and grass, but Wang Junlin only brought more than 10,000 people to attack the city. You say that Wang Junlin is arrogant, Or does he really have the power to reach the sky, or is the legendary gunpowder weapon really that powerful?" Liu Wuzhou turned and asked an old man with wise eyes beside him.

The old man known as Huang Lao smiled and said: "The 20,000 veterans in Mayi County are all warriors who have fought with the Lord for many years. They are well-trained and have a lot of experience in fighting. They can be regarded as elite soldiers. Although the Far Eastern Army has the terrifying gunpowder weapons, although they are powerful, they want to attack the city with less than 20,000 people. It is indeed wishful thinking. The battle requires ten times the attack and five times the siege, but now our city has ten times the strength of Wang Junlin, but they dare to attack the city, unless Wang Junlin is a god, otherwise even he is arrogant Already."

Liu Wuzhou nodded and said, "That's right, I think so too."

The two talked and analyzed, and their confidence in defending the city became more and more powerful. Huang Lao said again: "My lord, we have nearly ten times the enemy's strength. Before abandoning the counties and shrinking in the county towns, the morale of the army has been affected. Now We are just defending the city, and Wang Junlin's reputation is too strong, the soldiers will be more or less affected by it, which may be detrimental to our army's morale. Therefore, I think we can find opportunities to go out of the city to attack Field battle."

"What Huang Lao said is reasonable." Liu Wuzhou said, "I will wait for the right opportunity to go out of the city and defeat Wang Junlin. When the time comes, my name will be famous all over the world, and all the heroes in the world will naturally compete to vote. It is not impossible to compete in the world. Even if I had contacts with the Turkic people in the past, what is the so-called winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit, as long as I win the world, and then send a large army to destroy the Turkic people, who will say that I have colluded with the Turkic people."

"By the way, Mr. Huang, is it really useful for Xiaohu to meet Dugu Changsu of the Dugu Clan? What if he runs into Wang Junlin's men and horses?" Liu Wuzhou said suddenly.

"My lord, don't worry, the Dugu family and Wang Junlin are deadly enemies, and Wang Junlin took the initiative to attack us, he will never fight for the dog emperor, just like the two counties around Fanyang County

Similarly, the troops will be stationed here if they are defeated. The Dugu Clan will never sit back and watch Wang Junlin's plan succeed, and will definitely find a way to cut off Wang Junlin's food and grass. As long as we persist for a while, Wang Junlin will have no food and grass, morale will drop, and the morale of the army will be chaotic. We will go out of the city to attack. Will be able to win big. "Huang Lao looked confident.

"As for the safety of the dog, please rest assured, he is pretending to be an ordinary citizen. In the past few days, as the news of the war here spread, many people nearby scattered and fled. The Far Eastern Army has so few manpower. It's impossible to stop all the people, and besides, they don't know that we sent dogs to find Dugu Changsu."

Liu Wu was relieved on Monday, nodded, and began to discuss the war.

The two were discussing how to defend the city and how to sneak out of the city for a sneak attack. Suddenly there was a sound of horns soaring into the sky from the barracks of the Far Eastern Army below the city. Not long after that, they saw a team of four hundred Far Eastern troops. The cavalry rushed towards Mayi City, erected a wooden stick seven to eight feet high at a distance of five hundred steps from Mayi County City, dug a hole in twos and buried the wooden root there , and a complete human head hangs high on the top of the wooden stick.

At this time, it was windy at noon, and the weather was clear and the visibility was very good. The person standing on the head of the city of Mayi County could see the head clearly from a distance of 500 steps. This head is none other than Huang Xiaohu who was sent by Liu Wuzhou to contact Dugu Changsu, that is, the son of Huang Lao.

On the top of the city of Mayi County, Liu Wuzhou's face changed drastically.

"My son..." Elder Huang's face turned red, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked ferocious. He was digging at the city wall with both hands, looking at the Far East Army barracks outside the city full of hatred and murderous intent.

Just now I was saying that my son would definitely not fall into the hands of the Far Eastern Army, but the next moment I saw my son's head hanging here, but the head was in a different place, and the anger and pain in my heart can be imagined.

But it only lasted for a few breaths, Liu Wuzhou took a deep breath and regained his composure, and that Huang Lao also slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the tears in his eyes had disappeared, and his expression changed. Calm was restored, only the engraved hatred remained, and he said: "My lord, Xiaohu can't die in vain."

Liu Wuzhou sadly said: "Old Huang, don't worry, Xiaohu is as close as a brother to me, I will not let him die in vain, I will let the Far Eastern Army outside the city bury him with him."

Speaking of this, Liu Wuzhou suddenly shouted: "Come here, let Wang Chengguang lead my soldiers to **** Huang Xiaohu's head back."

Not long after, the suspension bridge at the east gate of the city of Mayi County fell slowly, and a group of 1,500 Mayi cavalry galloped out of the city with a bang. There was also a cavalry out of the camp suddenly, obviously Wang Junlin had been prepared for a long time, hanging Huang Xiaohu's head out was to stimulate Liu Wuzhou to send troops out of the city to fight in the field, so as to consume the opponent's strength and at the same time defeat the opponent with the same strength and hit the opponent's morale.

The distance between the two sides is about the same as where Huang Xiaohu's head is. The 1,500 cavalry sent by Liu Wuzhou are his personal soldiers. Extremely brilliant, but the cavalry of the 1,500 Whirlwind Battalion cavalry is naturally no weaker than the opponent.

This is the first battle under the city of Mayi County, which concerns the morale of both parties. Luo Shixin personally led.

Luo Shixin has been bloodthirsty since he was a child, and whenever he has the opportunity to personally go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, he is extremely excited.

The overtones from the new bronze horn newly developed and issued by the Far Eastern Army Yancheng resounded outside the city of Mayi County. Under the silver light shines.

In the Far Eastern Army’s battles, centuries were used as combat units, and each team was divided into three rows. The first two rows wore thickened plate armor and used one-foot-four-foot long spears, and the third row used thickened and widened one-handed waist knives. Everyone is wearing medium-defense, light-weight steel plate armor. The distance between the cavalry in the same row is only three feet, the distance between the centurions is two steps, and the distance between the front and rear rows is seven steps.

The standard-bearer held the flag and followed Luo Shixin all the time. Amid the five short-tones followed by a long-tone charging horn, 1,500 cavalry simultaneously mobilized their horses to accelerate. The highest speed to engage the enemy.
