Chapter 576: The Sorrow of the Beidi

"Bang, bang, bang..."

At the Nanmen of Ning City, as Beidi cavalry surged over from the north, Guan Tong was directing his soldiers in battle against the Beidi soldiers.

After repelling the Beidi charges several times, a general suddenly came to his side and whispered something in his ear.

Upon hearing this, he looked toward the rear and discovered a group of soldiers emerging from Nanmen.

The Beidi soldiers in the north turned toward the south of the city, and Qin Shan ordered another twenty thousand soldiers to exit the city to coordinate with Mo Yu in attacking the Beidi.

At the same time, twelve Hot Air Balloons slowly rose from within the city and flew toward the Beidi army.

Before long, he heard the sound of explosions.

"Heh heh, this time I'll let you witness the capabilities of our Prince's Personal Army," Guan Tong sneered.

After days of fierce fighting, the total number of Beidi troops currently at Ning City was likely less than three hundred thousand.

Among them, half were Beidi soldiers who had retreated in defeat from Yanguan and were low in morale.

The only ones capable of fighting were likely the elites who had come from Jin City.

Therefore, now that the Prince's Personal Army of Ning City and the Prince's Personal Army of Yanguan had joined forces, there was no need to fear the Beidi, even in open field battle.

"Advance!"

Guan Tong shouted; the Beidi people stood between them and the reinforcements from Yanguan.

As long as they cut through the Beidi army, they would be able to link up with the reinforcements.

By then, the Beidi army would have no way to deal with them.

Upon receiving his order, the Hollow Square Formation began to move forward.

The soldiers stepped on the bodies of the Beidi soldiers, pressing toward the Beidi battle formation step by step.

At the same time.

Mo Yu was observing the Beidi cavalry that had suddenly surged over.

Gradually, he discovered that this cavalry was merely watching the battle and had not launched any attack against them.

And most importantly, since the arrival of this cavalry.

The intervals between the Beidi soldiers' charges seemed to have lengthened.

However, unlike the scattered state of the previous few charges.

This time, the morale of the Beidi soldiers was significantly higher.

Many Beidi soldiers shouted "Anda" and charged toward them without fear of death.

"What is going on with this group of Beidi soldiers? They've suddenly gone mad!" Wei Qun said, his face full of confusion.

After the Jinzhuzhizhan, he had been transferred to Yanguan and was temporarily under the command of Mo Yu.

Mo Yu rubbed his chin, also deep in thought.

Since the arrival of this cavalry from the north, the Beidi soldiers across the south of the city had changed.

"I suspect that the Beidi Khan, Mule Hongzhen, is in the army," Mo Yu said.

"Mule Hongzhen?" Wei Qun suddenly realized, "That's right, it must be so; otherwise, who else among the Beidi would have such charisma?"

He paused and added, "However, Mule Hongzhen seems to want to delay time; the intervals between the Beidi charges this time are getting longer and longer."

Having said that, he looked at the rising sun.

From the morning until now, they had already been fighting for half a day.

"Let the soldiers take turns eating and resting first; in the afternoon, we will take the initiative to attack and link up with the soldiers of Ning City early," Mo Yu said.

Just as his father said, on the battlefield, the more the enemy wants to prevent something, the more you must do it.

The Beidi wanted to delay them, so they would specifically deny them the opportunity to delay.

Once the order was given, the soldiers hurriedly ate Roasted Flour and drank water.

After a simple rest, a new order was issued, and the Chariot Formation continued to move forward.

This time, the soldiers walked to the outer perimeter of the War Chariots.

The chariot soldiers put the reins on the Warhorses and pulled the War Chariots to move north.

The movement of the Chariot Formation was immediately detected by the Beidi.

The Beidi cavalry was in a stir, and they all spurred their horses to charge toward the soldiers outside the Chariot Formation.

But the soldiers outside the Chariot Formation were essentially a Hollow Square Formation.

Facing the charging Beidi cavalry, they pulled the Triggers.

Now was the time for them to protect the War Chariots.

They fired while moving.

As the War Chariots continuously approached the Beidi battle formation, more and more cavalry charged over, attempting to engage them in close combat.

Some Beidi cavalry dodged the rain of bullets and arrived at close range.

The soldiers immediately tilted their muskets, which were equipped with Bayonets, diagonally upward, braced their feet against the butt of the guns, and held the gun barrels with both hands, pointing them at the charging cavalry.

A forest of Bayonets appeared instantly.

The Beidi cavalry charged to the front, and their Warhorses were immediately stabbed, rearing up their front hooves.

The other soldiers who had not crouched down immediately raised their guns to stab the Beidi soldiers on the horses' backs.

With a scream, the Beidi soldiers fell to the ground, two bloody holes appearing in their bodies.

The Chariot Formation moved out two hundred meters when suddenly a whistle blew, and the soldiers on the perimeter immediately returned inside the Chariot Formation.

At the same time, the chariot soldiers unhitched the Warhorses again and connected the chains.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

By this time, the charging Beidi cavalry had no time to turn around.

One by one, they fell from their horses.

Immediately, the artillerymen repositioned the Artillery to launch an attack on the Northern Di army formation.

As the battle was underway, Mo Yu looked up at the Hot Air Balloons in the sky.

He ordered the flag signaler beside him to signal the soldiers on the Hot Air Balloons using Flag Language.

These Hot Air Balloon Troops were all trained and had mastered Flag Language.

Moreover, they all carried a Telescope, and he believed they could see the movements of the flag signaler below.

Sure enough, not long after the signals were sent, the Hot Air Balloons began signaling back.

Just a moment ago, he had used Flag Language to ask if any important figures had been spotted among the Northern Di army.

The Hot Air Balloon Troop replied no, but there was a group of soldiers constantly moving back and forth, dodging the Explosive Shells they dropped.

Upon receiving this information, Mo Yu pondered for a moment, then had the flag signaler send a signal to have the Hot Air Balloon Troop point out the location of these people.

After a while, the Hot Air Balloon Troop signaled back with the information.

"Shen hour direction," Mo Yu muttered.

He immediately ordered the Artillery to bombard the Shen hour direction.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Under his command, the twelve pieces of Artillery within the Chariot Formation where he was located opened fire.

One Cannonball after another flew into the Northern Di army.

Within the Northern Di army.

Mule Hongzhen was staring at the Hot Air Balloons in the sky.

Ever since these damned things appeared, he had been forced to dodge around constantly.

Just as he was feeling deep resentment, he suddenly heard a burst of cannon fire.

Before he could react, a Northern Di soldier was suddenly struck by something, flew straight up, and brushed past him.

Blood splattered all over him.

Gurtu was terrified and grabbed Mule Hongzhen, intending to hide deeper within the army.

However, he suddenly froze, the fear in his eyes growing more intense.

A blade fragment was currently, precisely, embedded in Mule Hongzhen's abdomen.

He looked again at the dead Northern Di soldier and saw a broken Curved Blade scattered beside him.

It had clearly been shattered by a Cannonball.

Mule Hongzhen did not feel anything at first.

Not until he followed Gurtu's gaze and looked down at his own abdomen.

At this sight, he was suddenly overcome with dizziness and fainted.
