Chapter 240 Ready to Go
"Report, my lord, the defenders of Xiangping West City have taken the initiative to attack, and Lord Dehuo has already gone to defend against the enemy!"
"Report, my lord, the defenders of Xiangping South City have taken the initiative to attack, and Lord Lu Sheng has already gone to defend against the enemy!"
"Report to my lord, the defenders of Xiangping North City have taken the initiative to attack, and Lord Buhao has already gone to defend against the enemy!"
Almost at the same time, news came from Xiangping's south, north, and west directions that the Xiangping defenders had taken the initiative to go out of the city to attack.
Nuo Muduo frowned, looked at the three messengers who came in almost at the same time, and asked in a deep voice: "How many troops are there in each of the three enemy troops?"
"The enemy army in the west city has 20,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry, a total of 70,000 troops!"
"The enemy army in Nancheng has 20,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry, a total of 70,000 troops!"
"The enemy army in Beicheng has 20,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry, making a total of 70,000 troops!"
After hearing the enemy's situation, Nuo Muduo frowned even deeper. There are 80,000 enemy troops in each place, and there is no obvious focus of attack, so it is impossible to break through the siege of the Xianbei army.
"Where's the east city? What's the enemy's movement in the east city?"
"My lord, there is no change in the enemy forces in the east city!" A Xianbei general in charge of guarding the east city immediately stood up and replied.
"Report!!" Just as the general finished speaking, a messenger flew over immediately.
"Report to your lord! Xiang'an City is making a big move towards the enemy army. The preliminary investigation shows that the number of enemy troops is no less than 100,000, and they are attacking our army!"
"Pass me the military order!"
"Order the generals of the three cities in the south, west, north and south to act cautiously. Don't be careless. Just defend against the enemy's attack. Don't be greedy for merit. Beware of the enemy's trap!"
"yes!"
Three messengers from various places immediately took orders.
"Nagu, pass on the order and be vigilant. The defenders in the direction of the east city must not be less than 100,000! This commander has a hunch that the enemy may use the east city as the main attack site this time!"
"Yes, my lord!"
A Xianbei military general named Nagu immediately took the order and went to preside over the defense work.
"Corchi!"
"The last general is here!" A burly man who was born immediately, replied respectfully.
"This commander will give you one thousand Sirius cavalry, 30,000 wolf cavalry, and one hundred thousand elite main troops. Be sure to block the incoming enemy troops from Xiang'an!"
"The last general takes orders!" The big man shouted.
The Merchant Department is an elite group, and Nuo Muduo knows this well, and it is precisely because of this that he sent Ke Qi and a large number of elites to fight.
This Korchi is the second best player in the Xianbei Army in Liaodong County, with super-first-class initial strength, second only to Korki who is the commander-in-chief of the army.
With him commanding 1,000 Sirius cavalry, 30,000 wolf cavalry, and 100,000 Tier 4 elite troops, it would be foolproof to resist the Shang Ji army's attack.
Of course, this is Nuo Muduo's wishful thinking. In a head-to-head battle, these armies are not enough to compete with the army of the Ministry of Commerce.
After dispatching troops and generals, Nuo Muduo finally breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that everything was safe. Even if there are some omissions, there are still 20,000 wolf cavalry in hand (the remaining 10,000 are scattered among the three armies), 4,000 Sirius cavalry, and 40,000 elite troops can be used as a reserve army to make up for any omissions at any time.
Just when Nuo Muduo was getting relieved, Shang Ji, through Donghu Shengying's investigation, made a clear investigation of his troop deployment!
Seeing that the troops around Nuomuduo were dispatched one after another, Shang Ji burst into ecstasy, and the plan was proceeding according to his plan!
"Ziyi, the enemy army is powerful. Our army has less than 10,000 troops in this battle. It's too late to regret it!" Sitting on the Lilong horse, Shang Ji turned his head and said to Tai Shici who was fully armed.
"General, don't humiliate me, am I the kind of repeated villain?" Tai Shici said proudly.
"Hahaha, good! If that's the case, let's go!"
Upon hearing this, Shang Ji immediately burst into a heroic laugh, then swung his whip, and immediately rushed out first.
"drive!"
Seeing this, Tai Shici was not to be outdone, and followed closely behind.
Behind them are 7,500 Black Armored Xuanqi and a whole thousand Lieyangqi!
This trip is dangerous, and the soldiers should be fine rather than too many, and the frontal containment troops should not be reduced too much, otherwise it will be difficult to play a containment role. Therefore, only the Black Armored Xuanqi and Lieyangqi followed Shangji to attack the camp in this battle.
Under the personal leadership of Tai Shici, Lie Yangqi is not much inferior to the Black Armored Xuanqi, at least he will not be at a disadvantage when facing the same number of Sirius Riders.
The two led the army to rush all the way, relying on the holy eagle to avoid the enemy's detection, and hid in a hidden place twenty miles away from the battlefield.
The two are sneak attack troops, of course it is impossible to launch an attack now, they have to wait until the other troops are engaged in battle before launching an attack, and only in this way can they have a chance to kill Nuomu Duo in one fell swoop.
Although Shang Ji can't attack aggressively for the time being, it doesn't mean that there is nothing to do.
Contact the Holy Eagle, closely monitor every move of the Xianbei Army through the Holy Eagle, and then feed the information back to Zhao Shen and the others, so that they can make corresponding deployments in time.
Here in Xiangping City, the war at Sanmen has already broken out.
However, because both sides had scruples, the battle was not intense.
Nuo Muduo's order to the commanders of the three divisions is to defend cautiously, not to give the army in the city a chance, and at the same time pay attention to possible traps that may appear from the enemy. In this case, the commander of the three cities will naturally not really work hard.
And the order that the Xiangping army received was to restrain them. Now that the enemy army is willing to cooperate, it is naturally the best, and they don't really attack with all their strength.
Both sides are killing loudly, but the real casualties are not many, which is quite a bit of a silent war.
Casually looking at the battle situation in Xiangping City, Shang Jiyou turned his attention to the Heijia Army after finding that there was no problem.
The brigade of Xianbei troops led by Kerch moved forward at a high speed, and soon encountered the Black Armored Army led by Zhao Shen.
"Array!"
Before seeing the Xianbei army, the enemy's distance was not far away through Shang Ji's intelligence, Zhao Shen immediately shouted and ordered the whole army to prepare for battle.
The heavy-armored swordsmen and long-shot strong bows dismounted immediately, and without any orders, the heavy-armored swordsmen automatically moved forward, forming a neat row of ten, with heavy armor connected to each other, long swords pointing obliquely, silently carrying a murderous look.
On the left side of the army are five thousand Yan cavalry. As one of the highest-ranking special units except black armored black cavalry, the Yan cavalry not only bears the heavy responsibility of resisting the thousand Sirius cavalry, but also needs to divide troops to support the friendly army at critical moments. The responsibility is extremely heavy!
On the right side of the army were 5,000 wolf cavalry, and the Xianbei army had a total of 30,000 wolf cavalry in this battle. Liu Meng needed to lead 5,000 wolf cavalry to entangle them with the cooperation of other friendly troops.
The wolf king, who had been recharging his energy for a long time, also led more than a hundred wolf guards to assist Liu Meng in fighting against the enemy wolf cavalry.
On the other hand, Su Huan led 10,000 wandering dragon bowriders to cruise around the periphery of the battlefield, giving full play to the advantages of the high mobility of the wandering dragon bowriders, harassing the enemy, and at the same time shouldering the important task of going to support immediately in case of accidents.
In addition, there are a total of 80,000 elite regular cavalry ready to go, compared to other armies. Their task is the simplest, they only need to hold back one hundred thousand ordinary Xianbei elites.
