Chapter 573: Joint Attack by Two Armies

"What!" Mule Hongzhen was greatly shocked.

Tiemuta and other Beidi commanders also had their expressions change.

"How many men do they have?" Mule Hongzhen asked urgently.

"There are fully fifty thousand, and they have also brought War Chariots," the Cavalryman said.

Mule Hongzhen's heart sank.

In fact, he had always been worried that the troops from Yanguan would come to support Ning City.

That was why he had been sending out scouts to keep an eye on Yanguan.

Only after discovering that there was no movement at all from Yanguan did he attack Ning City with all his might.

He had not expected that they would fail to keep watch after all, just as they had failed to keep watch on this force that had suddenly seized Ning City.

Until this moment, he finally realized the importance of the Navy.

If the Beidi had a powerful Navy, they would not have allowed the Yan Wang's army to run rampant on the sea, landing wherever they pleased in the Ningjin Dusi.

"Prepare for battle!" Mule Hongzhen gripped his horse whip tightly.

The Tunnel was already finished, and he was about to win, yet at this very moment, the Yan Wang's reinforcements had arrived.

This made him furious to the extreme.

If he retreated, the sacrifices of these past few days and his entire plan would be in vain.

If he did not retreat, he would have to intercept these reinforcements and not let them affect his plan to seize Ning City.

After weighing the pros and cons, he finally decided to launch an attack on the Yan Wang's reinforcements.

Otherwise, he would lose Ning City forever.

This order was passed to Gurtu.

Gurtu then passed it to Khorchin, and afterwards to Gule and Wuyan.

Their Khan had told him to continue the mission he had not yet completed, which was to annihilate the troops from Yanguan.

The four of them looked at each other, their expressions grave.

Their troops had already suffered heavy losses at Yanguan.

Over these past six days, they had participated in the attack on Ning City, suffering further losses of men and officers, and their morale was already very low.

The number of soldiers was also less than one hundred and fifty thousand.

But this was the Khan's order, and they could not refuse to execute it.

They could still hold the title of the Dare-to-Die Royal Tent over their heads.

Mobilizing their troops, they formed a line to the south.

They waited for the arrival of the Yanguan reinforcements.

"General Mo, we can reach Ning City in another ten li."

Just as the Beidi were standing by in battle formation, a troop of soldiers was moving slowly.

They were the Yanguan troops led by Mo Yu.

Calculating the days, after leaving five thousand soldiers to guard Yanguan the day before yesterday, he had led his troops out of the city under the cover of night and marched toward Ning City.

In his view, this amount of time was enough for Qin Shan to consume a portion of the Beidi troops.

It was time to join forces, attack from both inside and outside, and fight a decisive battle with the Beidi at Ning City.

Although their troop numbers might still be inferior to the Beidi.

Their firearms were enough to offset this disadvantage.

Especially since he had brought quite a few Twelve-Pound Field Guns.

The distance of ten li was already very clear through the Telescope.

Sitting on his horse, Mo Yu could observe the movements in Ning City.

Now, the Beidi army was forming a line facing him, clearly intending to deal with him.

At the same time, there were two units of Beidi Cavalry coming toward their flanks.

Each unit of Cavalry had about five thousand men.

"Advance in Square Chariot Formation," Mo Yu ordered, his demeanor composed.

Upon receiving his order, the War Chariots that were originally traveling in the outer rows immediately moved, forming individual square formations.

However, the chariot soldiers did not immediately unhitch the Warhorses pulling the chariots, but moved forward slowly in this shape.

If they needed to fight, they would immediately unhitch the horses, lead them into the formation, and then connect the iron chains between the War Chariots.

At the same time, the Cavalry and Infantry entered their respective Square Chariot Formations one after another, advancing with the chariot formations.

Usually, the soldiers had practiced these during drills, so they were familiar with the process.

After traveling another two li, the Beidi Cavalry arrived first.

Facing the chariot formations, the Beidi Cavalry only circled around on the outside, but were slow to launch an attack.

They knew clearly that their Warhorses could not cross these War Chariots to attack the soldiers inside the formation.

However, Mo Yu clearly did not want to be polite to these Beidi soldiers.

He ordered the entire army that as long as they were within range, they could open fire.

Therefore, during the march,

groups of three or five soldiers constantly formed squads to fire, and Beidi Cavalrymen kept falling.

"General Mo has arrived."

On the ramparts of Ning City, the movements to the south naturally could not be hidden from the soldiers of the Prince's Mansion on the city wall.

When the sound of gunfire rang out from the south, their spirits were instantly lifted, and they seemed to have forgotten the exhaustion of the past few days.

Guan Tong stood with his hands on his hips, chuckling.

Although he had appeared very relaxed in front of the soldiers over the past few days, he was actually extremely anxious inside.

Ammunition was running lower and lower; once it was gone, their advantage over the Northern Di would be greatly diminished.

By then, how many of the soldiers who had campaigned with him would ultimately survive would be left to fate.

But now that Mo Yu had arrived, he felt at ease.

Those War Chariots could not only carry grain, but also ammunition.

As long as they joined forces, the ammunition problem would be solved.

Just as he was feeling excited, he saw Qin Shan coming over from the North City.

Someone had already informed him of the movement in the south.

"They have finally arrived. Now we don't have to hole up in Ning City; we can take the initiative to strike and fight a decisive battle against the Northern Di," Qin Shan said, his face full of excitement.

Their ultimate goal was still to wipe out the living forces of the Northern Di in the Ningjin Dusi.

Otherwise, simply occupying Ning City would not have much significance.

After a pause, he continued: "Organize twenty thousand troops to set out from Nan Cheng and launch a pincer attack on the Northern Di army in the south from both inside and out!"
