Chapter 301: Emperor Tianzuo: The advantage is with me!

Three days later, on a vast, boundless plain covered with green grass beside the city of Datong,

the armies of the Liao and Gan countries stood in a standoff from several miles away.

The march of the hundreds of thousands of Liao troops was filled with dust, like a giant beast baring its fangs and brandishing its claws,

wanting to swallow the Great Gan army, which had only tens of thousands, alive into its belly.

"This Gan Emperor dares to hunt with me here with only tens of thousands of troops,

it is simply arrogant, just wait for me to crush him and his army!"

Under the Great Banner of the Liao Army, Emperor Tianzuo, Yelu Yanxi, wearing an embroidered robe and golden armor, tied his hair with only a gold crown,

and did not wear a helmet, looked at his army that had no end in sight, feeling quite satisfied.

It seemed he had already seen the day when he defeated the main force of the Great Gan here, captured the Gan Emperor Zhang Renjie alive,

led his army into the pass, entered the Central Plains, and surpassed his ancestors.

"This is Heaven helping the Majesty.

The Gan Emperor is so arrogant, I fear he has already lost his mind.

According to this subject's foolish opinion, the Majesty is the Heaven-ordained master of the Central Plains!"

Xiao Fengxian, the Prince of Lanling, whose status in the Liao court was already unstable and tottering after failing to attack Yanmen Pass,

offered flattery with a fawning face.

As long as he had Emperor Tianzuo's support, he could stand firm in the court even if he failed several more times.

And in terms of pleasing Emperor Tianzuo, no one in the outer court could surpass him.

After all, his sister was Emperor Tianzuo's favorite consort, and he knew Emperor Tianzuo's likes and dislikes like the back of his hand.

"Haha, I will borrow your auspicious words, Minister."

Sure enough, Yelu Yanxi, who was fond of great achievements, was even more delighted when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, the Gan army is so calm, I fear they have something to rely on, I fear there is a trap in this!"

At this time, a young general, wearing a helmet and armor, with a sturdy figure and a face like a knife-cut axe,

and a heroic appearance, looked at the Great Gan army, which was still as immovable as a mountain under the pressure of the hundreds of thousands of Great Liao troops,

and couldn't help but feel worried, riding his horse to advise.

"Hmph!"

"That Gan Emperor wants to fight the few with the many, how could I not know that there must be a trap in this?"

Yelu Yanxi looked at the Great Gan army, his face cold as he snorted.

He was not a fool, how could he not know that Zhang Jie first wrote to him to hunt together,

and then stood in a standoff with him with so few troops, if he wasn't crazy, he must have something to rely on.

And how could Zhang Jie, who could overthrow the Great Song that had been in a standoff with their Great Liao for a hundred years, be a fool or a madman?

"However."

Then, his tone changed, and he said with full confidence:

"No matter what, this battle is 700,000 against 60,000, the advantage is with me!

My Great Liao is using ten times the army to bully the few, I reckon that Zhang Renjie can't make any waves!"

"Your Majesty..."

The young general still wanted to say something.

This bullying the few with the many is certainly the right way of military law, but this fighting the many with the few is not a legend!

The Overlord of Western Chu broke the cauldrons and sank the boats, defeating the 400,000 Qin army with 50,000 Chu troops at Julu, annihilating the main force of the Qin army;

and in the Battle of Pengcheng, he defeated Liu Bang's 560,000 coalition army with 30,000 elite troops, creating a model for a quick-decision battle.

If the Overlord is a military miracle, then which founder of a dynasty is not a creator of miracles?

The Great Song's Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, whom they considered cowardly and incompetent,

It was also a single Panlong staff that beat the three hundred military prefectures of the world into submission to the Zhao name.

Yelu Yanxi narrowed his eyes, not wanting to listen to this kind of nonsense advice anymore,

the arrow was already on the string, it had to be fired, could it be that the decisive battle could be canceled?

"Dashi Linya, I order you to be the vanguard, to break through the enemy formation for my Great Liao, do you dare?"

Yelu Dashi knew that he had already been disgusted by Yelu Yanxi,

even if this trip was likely to be a narrow escape, he could only accept the decree, and he bowed:

"This subject accepts the decree."

After finishing, he hurriedly rode his horse to the vanguard.

Looking at Yelu Dashi, who was almost forced to go to his death, the other officials all felt sorrowful.

As the war approached, their Majesty, who was originally fond of great achievements, became more and more arbitrary.

"The time is almost up."

The sun gradually climbed to the center of the sky, and Yelu Yanxi shielded his eyes with his hand.

At this time, their Great Liao had their backs to the sun, while the Gan army was facing the sun directly.

Under the shining sun, the Gan army's line of sight was bound to be affected, which was an excellent time to start the war,

and with the rise and fall of the two, their winning percentage would at least increase by half a percent!

"Proclaim the whole army, the whole army attacks, I want to destroy the Gan army in one fell swoop!"

Yelu Yanxi waved the command flag for the three armies fiercely.

Woo-woo, woo-woo!

Dozens of warriors with amazing lung capacity, who could dive in the North Sea for half a stick of incense,

blew the horns made of the strongest and largest bull horns.

Dong-dong, dong-dong!

In the camps of the three Liao armies, hundreds of strong men with bulging muscles, naked upper bodies,

and red silk ribbons tied on their heads, waved their drumsticks with all their might, knocking on the giant cowhide drums.

The desolate and distant sound of horns and the majestic, thunder-like sound of drums resounded through the entire battlefield.

"The Majesty has an order, the whole army attacks!"

"The Majesty has an order, the whole army attacks!"

Countless messengers rode horses and ran through the various military formations, delivering Emperor Tianzuo's orders.

Boom-boom!

The hundreds of thousands of Liao troops slowly woke up like a giant reaching the sky,

stepping with seemingly slow but actually lightning-fast steps toward the Great Gan military formation.

"Attack, attack!"

The Liao vanguard, Yelu Dashi, fiercely whipped the buttocks of the precious horse under his crotch.

"Neigh!"

The precious horse, in pain, exerted force with its four hooves, exploding with even faster speed.

Boom-boom!

The true Great Liao iron cavalry, numbering in the thousands, surged toward the Great Gan military formation like a tide.

It is said that when people exceed ten thousand, there is no edge or boundary; this Great Liao iron cavalry, numbering in the tens of thousands, truly had no end in sight,

like a cloud reaching the sky that had fallen to the ground, pressing toward the Great Gan military formation.

The so-called "black clouds pressing on the city, the city wants to collapse" was nothing more than this!

Dong-dong, dong-dong!

Under the trampling of these hundreds of thousands of horse hooves, the entire plain was trembling,

as if even Heaven was terrified of this force that symbolized the supreme power of the cold weapon era of humanity.

"This is my army! This is the power of my Great Liao,

which dynasty, which country in this world can resist?!"

In the center of the Liao army, looking at the unstoppable appearance of his army,

Emperor Tianzuo, Yelu Yanxi, became more and more satisfied and high-spirited.

Close! Close!

Yelu Dashi, who was the vanguard of the Liao army, could see the Gan army in front,

and could clearly see the expressions of panic and fear on the faces of those Gan soldiers.

"Prepare!"

He raised his hand, and the knights beside him picked up the cavalry bows hanging on the side of the horses, nocking arrows to shoot.

Using cavalry to directly charge the infantry formation is undoubtedly the stupidest move.

The correct battle plan is to first use the sky-filling rain of arrows to break the infantry's formation,

and once the infantry is scattered, heavy cavalry can be deployed to break the formation in one fell swoop.

"Still a hundred steps, eighty steps, fifty steps..."

Yelu Dashi silently calculated the best distance for shooting arrows in his heart. ===== CHAPTER 302 =====
