Chapter 798

Taihe City, the city walls were lost, as if it were within reach.

But facing all this, the Eastern Jin side delayed their attack.

After all, that towering golden great banner was swaying in the wind like the sky-supporting pillar of Northern Ming.

Looking at the military formation in the distance, Zhang Cheng tilted his head and said, "Order the Wolf Camp to attack and disrupt their left flank!"

"Woo woo woo!"

The horn sounded, and a brave cavalry unit immediately charged out from the rear, heading toward Eastern Jin.

Watching this scene, Huan Wen immediately waved the flag in his hand, dispatching his generals to block them.

The South lacks horses; this is an indisputable fact. So even with the strength of the entire nation, Eastern Jin could not produce cavalry comparable to Northern Ming. Therefore, in battle formations and naval warfare, Eastern Jin was extremely proficient.

"Raise shields!"

With a hysterical roar, the Eastern Jin general in charge of command bellowed.

"Clatter, clatter, clatter!"

With great shields moving forward, long spears appeared like a forest of steel.

Facing this, the rapidly approaching Wolf Camp cavalry quickly dispersed, then drew their bows and shot arrows.

"Defend!"

Roaring again, shields were raised, continuously blocking the rain of arrows filling the sky.

But even with tight defenses, many people were hit, emitting wails.

Watching the Wolf Camp about to close in, the Eastern Jin general said coldly, "Crossbows!"

"Clatter, clatter, clatter!"

A rain of arrows shot out from the formation, immediately shooting down the galloping cavalry.

Watching Eastern Jin's methods, Zhang Cheng laughed loudly, "Truly worthy of Eastern Jin; are their methods for dealing with cavalry actually this proficient?"

"Your Majesty, the Wolf Camp has already suffered twenty percent casualties. Should we withdraw the troops?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Deng Qiang asked, his face full of solemnity.

Because the soldiers of the Wolf Camp were composed of the Hu people they had conquered from the Tuoba clan, as well as those originally from the country.

Although Zhang Cheng killed the Hu, as long as there were Han people to vouch for them, he would give them equal treatment.

"Withdraw the Wolf Camp, let the Chiliang Army go up! Isn't Huan Wen proud of his military formations? Then let him witness the heroism of our Northern Han people, which is far from what these Jiangdong rats can compare to!"

Speaking loudly, Zhang Cheng raised the long sword in his hand and said, "Great Ming is mighty!"

"Great Ming is mighty! Great Ming is mighty!"

Roaring while leaning on their long spears, the Chiliang Army bellowed.

Feeling the sound like a mountain collapse and a sea roar, a look of astonishment appeared on Huan Wen's face, because he had never seen such morale in Eastern Jin.

But in the next second, the Chiliang Army, stepping forward, raised their long spears with fierce expressions.

"The soldiers are mighty!"

Drawing his sword and stepping forward, Zhang Cheng took off his dragon robe, revealing the Green-Faced Beast Armor underneath.

"Your Majesty is mighty! Your Majesty is mighty!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the Chiliang soldiers shouted one after another.

"What is he trying to do? Is he leading the army himself?"

Staring at Zhang Cheng in shock, Huan Wen seemed to see an unbelievable scene: the opponent, as an emperor, was actually going to enter the battle himself.

But before Huan Wen could react, Zhang Cheng had already drawn his sword and moved forward, roaring, "Follow me south to capture the dragon!"

"South to capture the dragon! South to capture the dragon!"

Suddenly pushing morale to its peak, the Chiliang Army was already filled with fighting spirit.

And looking at the Chiliang Army, whose fighting spirit was already soaring after just three sentences, Huan Wen almost vomited blood.

Because is this damn thing really an emperor? Can't you just learn from Sima Dan and sit on the throne, honestly being a puppet?

But before Huan Wen could react, the Chiliang Army, marching with neat steps, had already begun to advance.

"Defend against the enemy! Defend against the enemy! Fight to the death and do not retreat!"

Riding warhorses and shuttling back and forth in the formation, the Eastern Jin generals already felt that something was terribly wrong, because compared to Northern Ming's morale, the Eastern Jin soldiers were clearly terrified.

Because fighting a war is about momentum and belief.

As soldiers, they didn't even know who they were fighting for; how could they have the heart to face death without fear?

If they were fighting against Later Zhao or Former Yan, Eastern Jin would probably still understand that these were alien races that had to be crushed.

But the problem was, this was Northern Ming, a country established by Han people; there wasn't even an excuse to resist an alien race!

The military formations collided, immediately emitting a harsh sound of metal and spears.

When the soldiers of both sides were fighting desperately, Zhang Cheng held a long saber and charged directly into the formation.

Looking at Zhang Cheng holding a large saber, the Eastern Jin generals immediately flew over, but before one round was over, they were cut down from their horses by Zhang Cheng.

Watching Zhang Cheng fighting so bravely in the distance, a look of disbelief appeared on Huan Wen's face.

Because he had long heard that the Northern Ming Emperor was good at fighting, but he didn't expect him to be this good!

But the Zhang Cheng before him was not the most troublesome; after all, the front formation was the most solid existence in the entire army and was not easily broken through. What made him feel more worried was Deng Qiang!

Seeing Zhang Cheng had already charged first, Deng Qiang also held his long sword and roared, "Chiliang Heavy Cavalry!"

"Clatter, clatter, clatter!"

Appearing from the large formation on one side, the heavy cavalry of the Chiliang Army, clad in heavy armor, gripped their long spears tightly and rested them at their waists.

"Kill!"

Pointing with his long sword, Deng Qiang roared.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Moving forward with heavy steps, the heavy cavalry charged rapidly, like an unstoppable wall of steel.

Watching the Chiliang Army's backup move, Huan Wen also roared, "Quick, order men to stop them!"

"How can this be stopped, Commandant!"

!

Hearing Huan Wen's words, the soldiers below were all dumbfounded.

Because the former Later Zhao didn't have heavy cavalry; even if they did, it was only a thousand men.

But the Northern Ming before them actually had three thousand men.

You have to know, supporting a heavy cavalry of three thousand men could support thirty thousand infantry. Where on earth did Northern Ming get the money and grain?

Zhang Cheng: Guess why I attacked Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla...

Huan Wen:...

"Boom!"

Under the violent impact, the large formation on the right began to collapse directly.

Watching the right flank fall, Huan Wen immediately began to mobilize the remaining strength in his hands.

However, just as the situation had stabilized, the Wolf Camp, which had returned, was dispatched again.

Watching Huan Wen continuously directing and mobilizing in the distance, Deng Qiang also frowned and said, "Truly worthy of Huan Wen; he can even block this. The rest is up to His Majesty!"

And just as Huan Wen was painstakingly directing, the front army he had been so proud of was torn to shreds.

"South to capture the dragon, stabilize the world!"

Holding a large saber and moving forward, Zhang Cheng roared.

"Capture the dragon! Capture the dragon!"

Roaring heroic words, the Chiliang Army continuously leveled all obstacles.

Looking at the Northern Ming that could not be defeated by force, fear appeared in Huan Wen's eyes.

Because it was precisely because he had fought Zhang Cheng that he understood how terrifying the perseverance of this army was.

Because even when facing various pressures, they could tear them apart completely.

"Whole army, move forward!"

Looking at the great banner behind him, Deng Qiang finally waited for the opportunity and roared without looking back.

"Whole army, move forward!"

Hearing Deng Qiang's words, the Chiliang Army immediately began to charge.

Looking at the Chiliang Army, which was like a mountain and sea, a terrifying thought flashed through Huan Wen's mind: he was going to lose! And it would be a disastrous defeat!

Under the sunny sky, Huan Wen looked at the fragmented Eastern Jin army, feeling panicked and fearful.

And at this moment, the general beside him roared, "Commandant, we've lost! Let's get out of here!"

"Leave? Where else can I go?"

Looking back in disbelief, after Huan Wen finished this sentence, he said bitterly, "Can my Eastern Jin block this person?"
