The 371st year of the Great Zhou calendar, April 14th, Liyang border...

"Woo~~"

The army of "Long Dynasty" stood at the command of Hua Yun, the "General of the State" and stood at the verge of the verdict. It was distributed on the Liyang border, with ten huge battle formations waiting solemnly, waiting for the coming war.

"Uh~"

Many soldiers in the array were civilians who were "Long Taizu" Hua Jin forcibly conquered. They were all the first time they were on the battlefield. In a hurry, they didn't even have a protective cloth armor on their bodies. They held a lot of them in their hands, such as iron rakes, wooden plows, hoes, even dustpans, wooden sticks, brooms, and shoulder poles. They were all kinds of, but there were only a few iron tools.

It is no wonder that less than a month after Hua Jin rushed into the Governor General's Office to kill the Governor Yue Xinwen, the situation in Liyang was far from stable, and he met Liu Ce's army who went to rescue Heyuan. It was really a disaster. Hua Jin, Hua Cong and his son calculated everything, but they did not count that the marching speed of the Far East Governor General's Office would be so rapid that it was incredible.

When the border exploration of Liu Ce's army stationed troops and urged food on the border, Hua Jin immediately "issued an order" and began to force the young and strong troops in the area under his jurisdiction to prevent unexpected changes.

However, the newly recruited young and strong men, not to mention the armor, even the decent training marches were forced to fight against the Far Eastern Army, which was forcibly formed in less than two days. Apart from the number and geographical advantage, they could never find any highlights...

Even the tens of thousands of "Central Army" in the Hua family are mostly half-baked goods. Tens of thousands of people don't wear armor account for 60% of them. The remaining ones are at most tens of thousands of people wearing iron armor, and there are still more than one thousand armor made of mature iron. There are only a few fine irons. The remaining ones are cloth armor and leather armor make up the numbers. After careful consideration, those who know a little military can actually see that neither morale nor military armour can compare with the vicious Liu Ce army.

However, Hua Jin, the "Long Taizu" standing on the border wall, was extremely satisfied with the army outside like a black cloud. There were 100,000 people and 100,000 people. Although this phalanx was very unrigorous, he believed that he could definitely resist the attack of Liu Ce's army.

In fact, Hua Jin was very reluctant to fight Liu Ce at this time. After all, the scholars and consorts in Liyang had a high resistance to their claim to be emperor and self-reliance. They rushed to fight in a hurry when the rear was unstable. He also knew that this was an unwise move and needed time to stabilize it. In addition, there were insufficient soldiers, armor, bows and crossbows, and the cavalry had only more than a thousand thin and yellow hordes and mules and horses to replace them. Judging from their riding skills, they were probably even far inferior to those of the "dragon cavalry" in the border army.

However, because the tribesmen guarding the border were too arrogant, King Huai Weiji came to urge grain and even sarcastically. This was a major mistake. Now it was too late. I came to report that Liu Ce's army was fully armed and advanced towards Liyang. If you want to fight, you have to bite the bullet and fight...

"Woo~Woo~"

"Dong~Dong~"

At this moment, a sharp horn sound came from the horizon in the distance and the roar of the war drums intertwined. Slowly, a thick line appeared in the eyes of Hua Jin and the border guards. Slowly, the thick lines became longer and longer, more and more, and finally gathered into a ball, and you could hear the sound of the shaking of the armor leaves and the neat military instigation.

"That's the Far East Army? Hiss..."

When the blood-colored guard flag appeared in the eyes of the defenders, everyone couldn't help but take a breath of coldness, and a heart-wrenching coolness spread from the soles of their feet, rushing to their minds, the dark iron armor, thick and long spear blades, and neat square formations...

Although there are many people on my side, compared with this group of "invaders", it seems particularly shabby and has lost in momentum...

"The whole army is wearing armor or iron armor? How did this be done?"

Hua Jin on the top of the city looked at the four spear phalanxes that were approaching with spears, and his face was full of disbelief. A trace of regret arose in his mind. Are he too radical and underestimated Liu Ce, a commoner. Is it too early to become emperor now?

However, it is too late to say anything now. If you want to gain a stable foothold in Liyang and build your own foundation, you must get through this level in front of you...

"stand!"

"Drink~"

At the distance between the two sides' two hundred steps (one step is unified into one meter, regardless of military institution and military institution), Zhang Zhaotong, the commander who took the lead, gave the order, more than ten big drums on each other shook three times, five spear formations, and ten thousand troops shouted together, and stopped instantly.

Thanks to the strict training of the Military Governor's Office, these soldiers from the former battalion have been transformed. Although the number of people on the other side is ten times that of their own, in their eyes, they all have little or no military achievements, which can not only bring their own wealth, but also show off their capital in the army!

Zhang Zhaotong has five square formations, each square formation with eight hundred crossbowmen. When the square formation stopped, the three hundred crossbowmen quickly loaded the crossbow arrows. Now, with the support of the spring, the armor-breaking range has increased from the original 120 steps (120 meters) to more than 130 steps. With the improvement of the crossbow making process, the loading speed has also been much faster. From the original average shooting frequency of four to five shots per minute to six to eight times, greatly improving the lethality.

Zhang Zhaotong was very excited at this moment. When he heard that Liu Ce gave up the first battle to him in Liu Ce's camp, he almost jumped up. He had no chance to perform in the battle of Jizhou last year, and this time he had to prove his value in front of Liu Ce.

He rode his horse to the front of the formation, raised the Yanyue sword in his hand, pointed at the "Long" army opposite without fear and shouted loudly: "Listen to the traitors on the opposite side! Today, I, Zhang Zhaotong, came to attack Hua Jin, under the order of the military governor. Those who do not want to die, all of them put down their weapons and surrender. Otherwise, once the battle begins, the corpses are everywhere, and the consequences are at your own risk!"

"Well……"

Faced with Zhang Zhaotong's aggressive aura, many people in the Liyang defenders were trembling all over, especially those civilians who were forced to conquer, who wanted to immediately throw down their "weapons" and turn around and run away.

As the "General", Hua Yun knew that he could not lose his momentum at this time. Once the morale of his army was deteriorated, the consequences would be unimaginable. He also calmed down and rode his horse out and replied loudly: "Why are you, the army, invading the border of Longchao? Could it be that you want to raise an army?"

"What are you talking about? Are you blind?" Zhang Zhaotong interrupted his words sternly, "What bullshit? I think it's almost the same as calling Deaf Chao. You are not only blind, but also deaf. Didn't you listen to me to attack you traitors? Do you think my 10,000 army is here to greet your mother? Of course, call your mother and jump into a song in the two formations. Maybe you, Mr. Zhang, will you withdraw your army and return to the camp as soon as you are happy..."

“Hahaha~~”

As soon as Zhang Zhaotong said this, a burst of laughter came from the formation on his side. Hua Yun and Hua Jin at the top of the city were so angry that their faces turned into a pig's liver. The morale of his 100,000 troops was suddenly even more depressed.

Hua Yun suddenly drew out his long sword and pointed it at Zhang Zhaotong and shouted: "Bold, dare to insult the general's mother. You are seeking death!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhaotong immediately laughed loudly, "What kind of mother, sow? Only sows will give birth to you, such a pig-headed and pig-brained thing. And you, Hua Jin, is also a pig-brained person, and actually married a sow as a wife. Your Hua family is a pig. If it weren't for the reincarnation of a pig, how could you be the emperor like a fool? If you don't pee and see what kind of virtue you have?"

"Hahaha……"

The soldiers under his command were even more laughing, Hua Yun was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and his eyes shot at Zhang Zhaotong were full of resentment.

"Oh, you ordinary man, insult my mother and scold my father. Today, I, Hua Yun, will destroy you to pieces and relieve your hatred! The front army obeys the order! Follow the general to kill the enemy formation and annihilate all the arrogant people who violate our country's power! Crash..."

"Aoah..."

Hua Yun roared angrily, then led the front army's three square formations and thirty thousand people rushed towards Zhang Zhaotong's array.

"I was irritated so soon, hehe, idiot, let you see your Mr. Zhang's methods!"

When Zhang Zhaotong saw the rebels sweeping over, he snorted and retreated back into the formation. Then the high shields in the front of the spear formation suddenly poked the ground. The rows of powerful crossbows that were already ready behind the shield formation revealed his sharp claws. The cold arrowheads at the tip of the crossbow trough were coldly aimed at the oncoming Liyang defenders.

And in the rear, the archer had already stood the cassette on the ground, took out a series of feather arrows and put them on the string...

"Not good, I'm trapped..."
