"Mighty! Mighty!"

The sound of the mountain shouting comes and goes.

Tens of thousands of Yun troops formed a military formation, showing their solemnity. Looking from a high place, they saw flying flags, swords shining like snow, spears like forests, and the black land seemed endless as far as the eye could see.

On the winding east bank of the Yongjiang River, the Xia army in the Wuzhou camp also defended along the river. Camps were erected at key points, docks, and shallow water areas, and they were heavily guarded.

Di Qing stood on the high platform, holding his sword in his left hand, his face extremely solemn.

"The Xia Kingdom is unruly and does not care about the suffering of the people. It is cunning and dishonest. It tears up the peace treaty. Its soldiers and horses trespass into the territory of our country, Dayun, and start the war lightly. By the order of His Majesty, Emperor Dayun, we immediately raise our troops to relieve the people!"

"The Xia Kingdom is immoral and has no regard for the people..."

In front of the military formation, a messenger held his chest high and shouted loudly. The high-pitched voice was heard on the other side, but there was no response from the Xia army.

Di Qing frowned slightly, raised his hand slightly and said:

"Stop! The two armies have not yet fought, so this method is of little use!"

This method of destroying the morale of the enemy's troops is of little use when the battle has not yet begun and the opponent has not yet shown his defeat.

The deputy general next to him heard this and quickly signaled his subordinates to stop.

Di Qing stood up straight, slowly drew out the sword from his waist, pointed diagonally forward, and shouted loudly:

"attack!"

As soon as he said this, all the flags behind him flew in unison, and the war drums in the army roared.

"kill!"

In the Yunjun formation, a cry of killing suddenly echoed in response.

Only the sound of neat and sonorous steps could be heard, accompanied by the collision of armor and the sound of gold and armor, spreading all around.

The awe-inspiring aura of killing soared straight into the sky.

At this time, the Xia army soldiers and horses on the east bank also responded, and all troops came out to guard the key points.

Across a large river, the battle between the two armies was naturally not so easy.

There was only a "clang" sound, and along with the particularly obvious trembling sound of the heavy crossbow in the army, the arrows were shot out immediately.

There were only sounds of piercing the sky, and an overwhelming rain of arrows fell one after another, directly covering the Xia army's camps closest to the west bank.

Waves of screams suddenly sounded, and Xia Jun was suppressed by the rain of arrows.

Seeing from a distance that the camp at the front was covered with arrows and in chaos, a general in the Chinese army couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Why do Yunjun's crossbows have such a long range?"

The Yongjiang River is just a tributary of the great river, and the surface of the river is not that wide, but even the narrowest intersection is more than a mile wide. Just take the ballista in Xia Jun's hands, there is no way to shoot so far!

Zimmer sat on the main seat, took off his armor, and was letting the military doctors apply medicine to him.

A real sixty military staff, that is, Zimmer has military martial arts skills, otherwise he might not even be able to get up at this time!

Hearing the exclamation of his lieutenant, Zimmer lowered his eyelids and said in a deep voice:

"The crossbow's arrow is as big as a crossbow's chisel. One arrow can shoot several people, and it can fire seven arrows in succession to a distance of 800 steps."

When the generals in the tent heard this, they were stunned for a moment and looked at Zimmer who was sitting on top of the commander's seat.

Zimmer looked up at everyone and continued:

"This is a battlefield weapon recently developed by Mohism, one of the hundreds of schools. Each of the nine major towns in the north has dozens of warriors to assist in city defense. It is always unfavorable when facing the Turks... Emperor Yun established Jixia Academy and recruited hundreds of schools.

Talented people are given official positions and positions based on their talents and knowledge rather than their birthplace. This crossbow is probably offered by the Mohist family just to please them!"

When the generals heard this, they fell into silence.

Zimmer sneered at this time and said:

"Order the front army to abandon the camp on the shore and let the Yun army go ashore!"

When a general heard this, he was immediately puzzled and said:

"General Hou, why did you abandon the front position and let the Yun army easily land ashore?"

Seeing that the military doctor had finished applying the medicine, Qi Mo stood up and put on his armor, accompanied by several soldiers, and said in a deep voice:

"The Yun army was indeed well prepared. Just looking at the posture of firing crossbows, I'm afraid they must have obtained dozens of crossbow beds. The camp in front was erected, but it was just a target. The front position was narrow, so the Yun army was at a loss when it came ashore.

! Give the order, retreat!”

Instead of setting up a target and only increasing losses, it is indeed better to open up a small area and let the Yun army come ashore. Then strangle them all while their foothold is unstable!

Although Zimmer led the troops in Tiannan, he lost the first battle and lost three thousand elite cavalry. But in the final analysis, it was because of the righteousness and another conspiracy. Now it only depends on his decisiveness at this time.

, with his unique vision, he knew that his reputation as a famous northern general was not false.

When all the generals heard the words, they all bowed in response.

When the flag of the Xia army was raised, the Xia soldiers in the front position had no intention of resisting and directly abandoned their tents and evacuated.

When the Yun army on the other side saw this, their morale immediately increased.

The ferry that had been prepared long ago carried a group of brave warriors and headed for the other side.

As soon as they reached the middle of the river, a rain of arrows from the Xia army on the other side roared towards them. Although they had been prepared and there were shields on the ferry, under the rain of arrows, all of Yun's soldiers were immediately injured.

These selected soldiers of Army Yun, all brave men, braved the rain of arrows and climbed to the other side. As soon as the arrows stopped, Xia Army shouted for death, facing the Yun Army who was not yet firmly on the ground.

rush ahead.

There were soldiers from Army Yun on the other side, so Yun Army did not dare to shoot recklessly.

In just a moment, all the Yun troops who landed suffered heavy casualties and retreated in defeat.

On the high platform, Di Qing's eyes sharpened, he slapped the railing, gritted his teeth and said:

"I absolutely shouldn't, I shouldn't let him get away by mistake!"

Seeing that the morale of the Xia army on the opposite side was stable, Di Qing knew that Deyang Marquis Qimo had returned to the army at this time. Therefore, he was most likely in charge of the Xia army's defense deployment.

There is danger in the river, and there are no mistakes in the Xia army's defense. I don't know how long it will take to attack the other side!

Seeing this, the deputy general next to him hurriedly stepped forward and said:

"Commander, do you still want to attack?"

When Di Qing heard this, his eyes sharpened and he said:

"The offensives of each unit are non-stop, whether they are real or virtual, and they can be unleashed at will. The one who reaches the other side first will be rewarded three times!"

When the two armies are facing each other, it is rare for a unique move to determine the outcome. The most important thing is the fighting between the soldiers. If the army stops advancing because it will suffer heavy losses, then how can the battle be fought?

When the generals under his command heard this, they immediately took the order and left, turning around to deliver the order.

Di Qing looked at the battlefield in front of him and the river that was gradually dyed red with blood, and sighed inaudibly.

This battle is not easy to fight...

-----------------------

Jinling City, in the Xia Kingdom Palace.

More than a dozen important civil and military officials from the DPRK were still gathered in the palace.

At this time, Emperor Xia had not yet arrived. These officials were standing in twos and threes in the palace, whispering to each other, and at the same time looking at King Qi who stood upright in the front with a solemn face.

The national war has resumed. On such an important occasion, Emperor Xia only summoned Prince Qi.

Thinking about the various gossips circulating in Beijing during this period, everyone's hearts suddenly jumped.

Is this the prince's posture, preparing to assist the government?

At this time, King Qi did not pay attention to what the officials behind him were thinking.

The situation in the southwest was about to be calmed down, but he was summoned back to Beijing. He thought it was because the courtiers were talking a lot and his father could not withstand the pressure that he was summoned back.

But when he noticed how the eunuchs who delivered the order, the local officials along the way, and all the officials in the capital were trying to please him in every possible way, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

When he returned to Beijing and investigated, he found that no one had much objection to his insistence on attacking Anshun County first, regardless of the court's wishes.

On the contrary, his third brother King Jin, who had been unprepared, unexpectedly forced him back to the capital.

Perhaps he was worried about the situation in the southwest, or perhaps he was chilled by King Jin's attack on him. At this time, King Qi was obviously a little careless.

At this time, the sharp voice of the eunuch in the palace suddenly sounded.

"Your Majesty is here!"

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly straightened their clothes and bowed.

Emperor Xia flicked the sleeves of his dragon robe, walked quickly into the palace, sat on the dragon chair, and said in a deep voice:

"You all must have known that at the border of Wuzhou, our Daxia soldiers mistakenly entered the Yun Kingdom. The Yun army surrounded and killed them all regardless of the reason, which aroused dissatisfaction among the Wuzhou camp troops. The two armies faced each other across the river, and the war between the two countries was about to break out. Everyone Do you have any thoughts on this?"

As a large country in the Central Plains, the Xia State has always maintained its etiquette, so naturally it still needs to be shameless. In publicity, it was only said that Xia soldiers mistakenly entered the Yun State's border during training and were surrounded and killed by the Yun Army, which then caused a war between the two countries.

Coming in this way can also arouse the resentment of the people against Yun State.

The ministers present, regardless of whether they believed it or not, all spoke one after another at this time:
