The golden crow breaks, and a new day comes.

The Dali military camp was not peaceful last night. People broke in many times and caused riots, but they were quickly suppressed and calmed down.

War is not a child's play. Dajiang wanted to assassinate the general of the Dali Army before the war, but Dali's side was well prepared and they failed to succeed.

Dong dong dong~!

Thunderous drums resounded over the army camp. Upon hearing the drums, the soldiers who had not taken off their armor and put down their weapons since the expedition came out of their tents and began to assemble.

"Quick, quick, quick, the general has an order. We and the pikemen will go into battle at any time to attack the city. Each team will count the number of people and assemble, but anyone who escapes from the battle will be killed without mercy!" The captain's voice echoed around the surroundings, his tone was cold and stern.

Soldiers have to go to the battlefield. It is said that raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a short period of time means that soldiers are free from work and enjoy the support of the state. During the war, they are not worthy of living in this world as deserters.

"Are all the team members here?" Yunjing asked his team leaders.

Although he can clearly see who is coming and who is not, there are still procedures that should be in place.

"Huiyun Squadron, everyone is here"

Zhao Dezhu and the others answered one after another.

Nodding, Yun Jing glanced at everyone and said: "Everyone, there are more than 20 people in our squadron. Yun hopes that there will still be this many people when he comes back. Let's go and gather in the direction of the brigade."

War is ruthless. Once you go to the battlefield and face enemies from all directions, who can guarantee that you will come back alive?

"Captain, I think I ate something bad and I feel like having diarrhea..." When we were going to the brigade meeting point, a soldier reported to Liu Sanhui in a low voice.

Liu San stared at him coldly and lowered his voice and warned: "We are about to go to the battlefield. At this time, you tell me that you want to have diarrhea? Whether you are true or not, you can either hold it in or poop my pants.

Otherwise, he will be treated as a deserter and his head will be chopped off!"

The soldier was about to cry but had no tears, and his expression was distorted with discomfort. He said with a mournful face: "Captain, I really want to have diarrhea."

"It's already this time. There's nothing you can do about it. Just pull your pants down. It's better than beheading. Don't worry, no one will laugh at you." Liu San glanced at the other party sympathetically and said speechlessly.

Immediately afterwards, there was a popping sound in the soldier's crotch, and then the stench filled the air, and he really deflated his pants.

Everyone: "..."

Are you serious!

Fortunately, it was a cold day and the soldiers with their trouser pockets pulled down were wearing thick clothes. Although there was a smell, it was not a big problem.

Naturally, this cannot be hidden from Yun Jing. His mood is a bit complicated. It is true that the soldier has diarrhea, but it is more of incontinence caused by nervousness and fear. After all, he is about to go to the battlefield. He can die at any time. He only has one life. Who is not afraid?

After all, these soldiers are all veterans who have been on the battlefield and have excellent psychological quality. The soldier with diarrhea is an exception. It is true that the soldier with diarrhea is an exception. Everyone understands that they are not laughing at him. On the contrary, it dilutes some of the tense atmosphere of the upcoming battle.

As the squadrons, squadrons, and brigade... gathered one by one, the 20,000-strong spear army where Yunjing was located finally left the military camp, lined up through the simple city wall built yesterday, and marched straight towards Nanyang City of the Dajiang Dynasty.

Today will be the beginning of the decisive battle, which is related to the pattern of the entire subsequent war. There is no room for failure. If Nanyang City cannot be broken in one battle, it will have a huge blow to morale!

On the vast ice field, hundreds of thousands of troops were running around, like a surging crowd.

Yunjing and his group of 20,000 pikemen came to a halt two miles away from Nanyang City to form an army formation. Next to them were two other pikemen. The three generals who led the pikemen gathered together to discuss the battle plan.

.

In fact, there is nothing to discuss. After the battle starts, charge when the superiors tell you to, and fight wherever the superiors tell you to. Such a large-scale battle is not something that a young general like this can decide. All he has to do is listen to the orders with an ear.

In addition to the pikemen, other arms have gathered on the ice field, and the number has exceeded 400,000 and is approaching 500,000!

In other words, at the beginning of this war, Dali sent an army of 500,000 troops, and the attitude of the decisive battle was beyond doubt.

The only one in the assembled army was cavalry. In fact, it is easy to understand. Although cavalry is powerful in combat, the current ice and snow is not suitable for cavalry combat, and it is a siege, so cavalry is completely useless.

At the forefront of the gathering of Dali's army, one mile away from Nanyang City, were the 100,000 Thunder and Fire Army soldiers under Li Qiu's command.

Li Qiu's Thunder Fire Army has a total of 300,000 people, but now only 100,000 have been sent. These 100,000 are the vanguard army and are the key to breaking through Nanyang City.

In the past, sieges in wars really cost people's lives. It was a veritable war of attrition, consuming the lives of soldiers. But now, with the emergence of Li Qiu's thunder and fire army, the war pattern will definitely be rewritten!

The equipment of the Thunder Fire Legion is different from other armies. They are not equipped with metal armor, but all wear cloth armor, and they are not equipped with a wide variety of weapons. Everyone carries a cloth bag, and the bag contains gadgets...

In addition to the equipment of the soldiers, this thunder and fire army also moved boxes of various sizes onto the battlefield. Some boxes required oxen and horses to pull, and then there were modified crossbows that required several people to pull.

, and even catapults.

Among the people lining up, Yunjing saw the equipment of the Thunder and Fire Legion on the front line, and then looked at Dajiang Nanyang City with a sympathetic look.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think that with the Thunder and Fire Legion clearing the way in front, he guessed that it would just be a smooth battle.

Although the walls of Nanyang City are tall and solid, and although there are countless experts on them, can they withstand an iron lump the size of a basketball?

The entire army in Dali is lined up in an orderly manner and preparing for battle, and the Nanyang City side of Dajiang Dynasty is also actively preparing for war.

The city wall was filled with soldiers, archers were in position, and the crossbow bed had been opened and loaded with arm-thick crossbow arrows. The kind of crossbow bed that required a winch to open. The crossbow arrows shot by Xiantian Realm estimated that one arrow could kill a child.

Miscellaneous soldiers and the like will definitely end up wearing sugar-coated haws, and there are such crossbow beds every twenty meters in Nanyang City. Each crossbow bed can shoot three crossbow arrows at a time.

In addition, there is a kind of stacked crossbow, which consists of more than ten crossbows stacked together. Although the power is far inferior to the bed crossbow, it is worse than the crossbow in that it can shoot dozens of crossbow arrows at one time. It can be called a machine gun in the cold weapon era.

On the city wall, there are also rolling logs and stones, as well as kerosene and boiled gold juice. These things will be of great use when the enemy comes to the bottom of the city wall!

The first mile of Nanyang City is covered with horse pits and ditches. Outside the city wall, there is water-condensed ice that you can’t even climb up. There are various preparations on the city wall, which can be said to be excellent in defending the city.

It's the ultimate.

They are defending the city, and there is no need to send troops out to fight. According to previous war patterns, in such weather, if the attacking party wants to capture a city, they may not be able to succeed even if they pay several times the price. It is purely a matter of human life.

War of attrition.

But now, on the Dali side, Li Qiu has taken over the task of breaking the city. He has also issued a military order and even explained clearly the methods of the Thunder Fire Army's siege. If not, the commander of the three armies, Qin Antai, would have had a trick in his head.

Launch a showdown this season.

Ever since he learned that there was a big movement in Dali, Jia Pingnan, the commander-in-chief of the three armies guarding Nanyang City in Dajiang, summoned his soldiers to discuss countermeasures.

Until the Dali army arrived outside the city, they didn't understand what Dali was thinking, so they would start a war in such a season, and it was at the rhythm of a decisive battle.

"Old Qin's brain is sick," Jia Pingnan said speechlessly as he stood on Nanyang City and stared at Dali. In such weather, ordinary soldiers would be too cold to hold weapons after being in the field for a long time, but they want to start a war. It's not their brains.

What is disease?

Jia Pingnan wore armor as black as ink. The armor was particularly ferocious, with sharp metal spikes on each joint, especially the shoulder pad on the right shoulder, which was shaped into the shape of a poisonous snake's head with its mouth open and fangs exposed.

This armor is made of special materials. It is a set of treasure armor, with 'special effects'. The whole body emits a dark and cold light. Jia Pingnan wearing this armor is like a demon god. No one dares to approach within three meters of him.

This set of armor is priceless, even if you have money, you can't buy it. If you put it on, you can't even think of breaking through the armor easily and hurting Jia Pingnan. With the real intention, Jia Pingnan would stand there and let others scratch him, and he would be exhausted.

Don't even think about hurting him.

He is holding a pitch black halberd. The halberd also has 'special effects'. The entire halberd is emitting a black cold light, flowing around the halberd like flowing water. Needless to say, the halberd in his hand is also a magic weapon.

.

"General, although I don't understand what Qin An and Tai'an have in mind for sending troops at such a season, there is something wrong with the formation on the other side. The other side has attacked our Nanyang City many times in the past, and all of them were armed with spears and shields.

They escorted the siege equipment from the front, but now, how come they have arranged an army in cloth armor in the front? And the only weapons equipped are a waist knife and a package, which is really confusing."

Next to Jia Pingnan, a lieutenant general looked at the troops arrayed in Dali and frowned.

Jia Pingnan's status was high enough that he did not take Qin Antai seriously and could speak rudely, but the person who spoke did not dare to do that. He still respected Qin Antai and did not dare to go too far by calling him by his first name.

"Qin Antai is not a radical person, nor is he dim-sighted. If he dares to start a war in this world, he must have something to rely on. Perhaps it has something to do with the army in front of them. He will not fight an uncertain battle. Pass on the order.

The whole army is on high alert, don't take it lightly, you have been taught by Qin Laogou to be a good person," Jia Pingnan said in a deep voice while looking ahead.

Jia Pingnan is no ordinary person who can be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the three armies of Nanyang City. Although they are on the defensive side and have an absolute advantage, they do not look down on their opponent because of this. On the contrary, they become more vigilant.

War is no joke. If something goes wrong, he, the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, will bear the heaviest responsibility. He must guard the border for the country. Once the border is breached, what face does Jia Pingnan have to repay His Majesty's trust? What face does Jia Pingnan have to face the people of the Yangtze River?

You can never be too cautious.

"Don't worry, Commander, our army has gathered 200,000 soldiers in the city and can go to the city wall to fight at any time. There are 300,000 soldiers on standby at any time. In addition, there are 500,000 troops ready for battle, totaling one million people.

The Dali side can't imagine breaking through the city easily, even if it means spending a lot of money, our army is holding on to the city wall, they can afford to spend as much as they come, and in the end they can only leave in despair, and we may even have a chance to beat the drowned dog."

, the lieutenant general of an army on the south side of Jia Ping vowed.

Defense has an advantage over offense. Although the Dajiang Dynasty's troops stationed around Nanyang City are smaller than Dali's, they are still limited. Since Dali dares to fight, the next question is who is afraid of whom.

They are defensive. This season, Dali can't even think of breaking through Nanyang City without paying several times the price. And does Dali have millions of people spending time here?

Of course, this is just an ideal state under normal battles. Wars are changing rapidly, and various strategies will lead to a tilt in the battle situation.

Naturally, Jia Pingnan knew what his generals said about the deployment, but at this time he felt that it was not enough, so he ordered: "Let the 300,000 troops on standby enter the city to assemble, and the remaining 500,000 troops are on standby to enter the city to fight at any time."

Although some people feel that Jia Pingnan's arrangements are a bit redundant, the commander-in-chief has orders, so they can only actively cooperate.

"Old Qin Gou, what are you trying to do? You have breached our Dajiang border in the past, but were beaten back in the end, especially the last time. Since I came here, you have never breached the city again. I'm so mean to you."

I am already familiar with the methods. This time, why do you dare to come and fight again? With the hundreds of thousands of troops you have gathered or the army of one million in the rear?" Jia Pingnan looked forward and thought to himself.

Dajiang originally planned to kill Master Chen of the Dali Dynasty, which was like cutting off an arm of the Dali Dynasty. He was supposed to go south to attack Dali in one go, but unexpectedly the plan failed to keep up with the change, and a farmer named Fei appeared in Dali.

Planting things to increase national power, Dajiang had to temporarily suspend its offensive plan, but it was the Dali Dynasty that took the lead in launching a war.

This fight lasted for many years.

Over the years, Dajiang has been in a passive state of being beaten. Although the Sanluo Dynasty and the Golden Wolf Dynasty jointly put pressure on Dali, both parties failed to work hard.

Now the Dajiang Dynasty has long been dissatisfied with this situation of being passively beaten. As the coach guarding Nanyang City, Jia Pingnan's status is high enough. He has learned that the cabinet is already discussing with the Sanluo Dynasty and the Golden Wolf Dynasty to formulate a strategy to go south. Maybe he can't do it.

In two years, the three countries will move south to carve up the territory of Dali in one fell swoop!
