In the thin mist, the sun rose, red like egg yolks. The wind had stopped, and it was not cold this winter morning. On the river not far away, thick fog rose, as if it was dreamy.

Zhao Zhen stood at the head of Wuqing City, looking at the hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city, and felt that he was the master of the world. He did not expect that one day he could personally command hundreds of thousands of troops and launch the most critical battle against the Khitan.

At the front of the military formation, thirty invincible thunderbolt chariots were arranged in an orderly manner, like giant beasts. The soldiers were starting there, and the fog was steaming on the chariot, as if they were swallowing clouds and spitting mist. Behind them was a huge infantry army formation.

After watching for a while, Zhao Zhen said, "Hundreds of thousands of troops are such a big scene! Looking at both sides, the team can't see at first glance."

Du Zhongxiao said: "Your Majesty, there are a total of 500,000 troops from north to south. The battlefield has been spread over ten miles, so it is naturally the case. Since its establishment, this has been the battle with the largest number of troops, and it is not comparable to other wars."

Han Qi said: "Yes, more than 500,000 troops, I really didn't expect the momentum to be so terrifying!"

In fact, what you can see on the city tower is mainly Dou Shunqing and Liu Jianji's armies, and they cannot be seen completely. The 100,000 troops are deployed, even in dense formations, it will last for several miles, exceeding the human vision range.

Zhao Zhen looked at the sun in the sky and said to Du Zhongxiao: "Taiwei, when will the war start?"

Du Zhongxiao bowed: "Your Majesty is in charge of the army, and when you start the war, you will naturally obey Your Majesty's orders."

Zhao Zhen nodded without saying a word, and quietly looked at the city. The Thunderbolt car under the city was heating up, obviously he had to wait a moment.

In the Khitan military camp, Yelu Fairy Tong said to Yelu Hongji: "Your Majesty, the Song army opposite is set up, obviously the entire army is going to attack today. Hundreds of thousands of troops are coming, how should we deal with it?"

Yelu Hongji was on the lookout tower, looking at the Song army that could not see the edge on the opposite side, frowned. After a while, he said, "Order the troops to defend the army and wait for the Song army to attack. The army lacks horses and wants to attack, but they are not strong enough."

Yelu Xiantong said: "Your Majesty, look at the Song army's formation opposite, there are many artillery. Their artillery shells will explode, which is extremely difficult to deal with. If we are guarding the army, the Song army will only be able to defend themselves if they come forward and use cannons to bombard them."

Yelu Hongji said slowly: "So what? When the Song army comes to attack, the artillery will move. Then send death-death soldiers to attack their artillery positions. Without artillery, the Song army will not be so difficult to deal with."

Yelu Xiantong looked at Yelu Yixin beside him and shook his head slightly. Everyone knew that the Song army had no artillery, so it would be much easier to fight in this battle. But the Song army had artillery and there were many artillery, and the Khitan could not deal with it. How could we deal with it?

Yelu Yixin's face was as deep as water and he didn't say a word. At this time, who has any good solutions? The strongest Khitan army was the powerful maneuverability of the cavalry. As a result, they were surrounded by the Song army, and most of the horses were killed, and their maneuverability was gone. How could they fight?

For those like Yelu Yixin, the end of this war is destined and there is no way to do it. What else can you do besides accepting your fate? The more you are a senior officer in charge of the army, the more you are clear about the situation on the front line, you will not have any illusions at all.

The Ten Gods Slaughter sighed. Who wants to throw his life here? But what can I do? Yelu Hongji refused to surrender, so they could only accompany him. As a royal family in a high position, I really didn't expect that he would have this day.

Most of the Khitan soldiers in the military formation looked idly. They had been surrounded for nearly a month, and their morale had been cleaned up. They were already warriors without a way to escape in front of the formation. They wanted them to fight to the death, but they were really thinking too much.

Dou Shunqing stood on the watchtower, holding a telescope in his hand, looking at the Khitan military formation opposite. He put the telescope in front of him and said to the deputy commander Lu He: "Look at the Khitan military formations and the military flags are chaotic, it seems that his morale is very low. Today is a life-and-death battle, and they are still like this."

Lu He said: "Taiwei, the Khitans have been surrounded for nearly a month, lacking clothes and wearing clothes, and even killing horses to eat. What morale can you say!"

Dou Shunqing nodded after hearing this: "Yes, the cavalry kills horses, like cutting off their arms, and they really have no morale."

For cavalry, horses are their own combat partners. Without horses, people will feel unsure. Especially for grassland troops like Khitan, they have been with horses since they were young, so they should not say anything about it. A few days ago, when they killed horses on a large scale, the morale of the Khitan army had dispersed.

After looking at the Pili car that was hot in the car not far away, Dou Shunqing smiled and shook his head: "This kind of steel thing is actually useless. As long as the enemy uses his brain, there will be a way to deal with it. But now it is just right to deal with the Khitans."

Lu He said: "What the Taiwei said is. People will inevitably be shocked when they see things they have never seen. If we are in the battle, the enemy will suddenly send dozens of iron carts, which one will not be afraid? Today, the Khitans have no intention of fighting. As long as a few cars rush into the battle, they are afraid that they will be in chaos."

"So what if it is messed up?" Dou Shunqing shook his head. "Today, it is not about defeating the Khitans, but about annihilation of the Khitans. The less chaotic their military formations are, the more powerful the artillery is, the easier it will be for us to fight. If the soldiers run around on the battlefield, it will be difficult for us to fight."

The personal soldiers around him couldn't help laughing after hearing this. The strength of the two sides was too different, which was different from the usual battle. The more tenacious the other side resisted, the more casualties there were, and the easier the battle was to fight. If it was a scattered sand, you would have to worry about gathering it.

On the top of the city, Zhao Zhen saw that the thunder chariot in front of the city had started and thick smoke came out. He said to Du Zhongxiao: "Taiwei, look at the thunder chariot can already rush to the formation. The sun has risen, and he should be able to attack."

Du Zhongxiao crossed his hands: "Please issue an edict!"

Zhao Zhen nodded and said to Zhao Zi beside him: "Self-order the entire army to attack with all their might! Destroy the Khitans here today!"

Zhao Zi crossed his hands and sang a loud voice. He turned around and ordered the personal soldiers on the side to turn half a roll of the flag and pointed forward suddenly. The flag was half rolled, and the horns suddenly sounded in the military formation in front of the city. The horns of each military formation were roaring together, and the dull sound echoed on the ground for a long time.

Dou Shunqing looked at the big flag at the top of the city, breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered an attack. With the horn of the flag, drums came from the army, from slow to fast, shocking people's minds. The army that could not see the end was slowly advancing.

Thirty thunderbolt chariots rushed towards the Khitan army along with the infantry beside them.

Yelu Hongji saw it in the watchtower and said to Yelu Xiantong beside him: "The Song army rushed over first were dozens of iron chariots. Have you ever seen this object during the battle before? What is the function of the military formation?"

Yelu Xiantong bowed: "Your Majesty, you have never seen it before. Looking at this car, you are wearing iron armor and don't use horses, and you come by yourself, just because you are afraid it is not easy to deal with. Before the military formation, you are not afraid of swords, guns, bows and arrows. How should we resist?"

Yelu Hongji shook his head, put on a shed in his hand, and watched the Song army formation slowly come. When it was about 300 steps away from the Khitan army formation, the Song army stopped, and the thunder chariot also stopped there.
