Li Ming, who was solemn, suddenly became excited and felt the slight trembling under his feet. He jumped up suddenly, and at the same time he couldn't help but blurted out: "B Yi, send an order to tell everyone that our reinforcements have arrived, so that everyone can work harder to block the enemy's attack before our Iron Armour Army arrives!"

"Yes!" Hearing the three words "Iron Armored Army" made him think of the powerful army he saw outside the imperial city. This made him feel new hope in his heart, and at the same time he became excited, and his answer became high.

With the sound of drums and the loud shouts of the officers, the defenders who received the news immediately raised their hopes of survival, picked up the weapons in their hands, and quickly took their place, ready to withstand the enemy's last fierce attack.

However, the speed of the Iron Armored Army was beyond everyone's expectations. Before Li Qing's three attacks reached Li Ming's camp, his own troops were first attacked by Li Ming's reinforcements.

This reinforcement unit was composed of 10,000 Iron Armored Army and 20,000 City Guards, and it can be said that the elite troops in the Imperial Guards were dispatched.

Just last night, after Li Ming resisted the attack from the sneak attack troops, he felt something was wrong. According to his intelligence, there shouldn't be such an elite army in Wang'an City, but judging from the quality of the sneak attackers, these people are definitely not the mobs mentioned in the intelligence. The only explanation for this situation is that Li Qing added troops to this place. When he thought of Zheng Yu's artificiality, Li Ming suddenly became a little worried.

According to this situation, it would be far from enough to completely occupy these three acropolises with more than 10,000 city defense forces and 20,000 new soldiers in his hands. Therefore, Li Ming ordered Jia Er to rush back to the imperial city with his own army-deployal talisman and urgently mobilize reinforcements. Originally, Li Ming thought that Li Qing could deploy at most 30,000 to 40,000 troops here, so for the safety of the imperial city, he only mobilized 10,000 iron armor troops and 20,000 city guards. With this reinforcement force, he could easily defeat the opponent's 50,000 troops. This was last night.

The battle was done well. But he never expected that Li Qing had sent out all his troops this time and had a hundred thousand troops! This caught him off guard. Even if his reinforcements could arrive in time, it was still unknown whether they could withstand Li Qing. Now the only thing he hoped was that the Iron Armored Army could truly be as good as the legendary warfare. Otherwise, he would have to escape in panic under the protection of the guards. In that case, his prestige in the army would inevitably plummet, and Li Qing would take the opportunity to attack the imperial city with the result of victory.

The area where Nanguo City is located is a plain with rivers intersecting. On this plain, the power of the Iron Armored Army is very amazing. This time, the first thing that was hit was Li Qing's attacking troops in the west. They would never have thought that when they attacked with all their might, such a terrifying team would suddenly appear from behind them. As the soldiers in the rear looked back, they were frightened and almost forgot to breathe. The dark steel armor of the Iron Armored Army, the iron spear shining with cold light, and the neatly-clad war horses all made them feel scared. These people were recruits who had been enlisted for less than three months. When did they see this posture? So involuntarily, these soldiers in the back row accelerated their pace and fled quickly to both sides of the position.

Just like a chain reaction, with the first one running away, there will be a second one. In a blink of an eye, the soldiers in the forefront of the attack team also noticed the abnormality and involuntarily looked like they looked back. As a result, what surprised them was that the soldiers behind them had escaped without a trace, and the Iron Armored Army's war horses had already run to a place more than ten steps away from them.

The first battle of the Iron Armored Army ended so easily. Some people did not even encounter the enemy. The attack troops in Li Qing's western region were wiped out. In this era of cold weapons, the gap in strength and equipment had a very obvious impact on the war. Faced with the Iron Armored Army, ordinary soldiers had no ability to fight back at all. The powerful impact and solid defense of the Iron Armored Army were definitely a nightmare for ordinary infantry.

At the same time, the attacking troops of Li Qing's East and South Road began to contact Li Ming's defensive soldiers. With the experience of the first attack, during this attack, Li Qing's troops significantly changed their tactics. They no longer rely solely on rushing cars, but slowly sent thick wood to the camp under the transportation of grain trucks. Under the cover of the shield, the soldiers braved the rain of arrows like locusts shot from the camp and began to desperately hit the wooden fences of the camp with these logs. Although soldiers kept coming under the support of the opponent's arrows, the soldiers who caught up immediately took over and launched continuous impacts around the camp.

This method was indeed very effective. In a short while, many wooden fences around Li Ming's camp were knocked down, and the bodies of his comrades fell down. The attacking soldiers rushed into the camp with red eyes, but met guards with red eyes. In this way, in front of the gap in the camp, a tug-of-war of advance and retreat was repeated. Everyone seemed to have forgotten their fear and pain. Some of the eyes were left with the enemy's head, the enemy's chest, and the violent and cruelty in human nature were completely aroused, making everyone on the battlefield seem to have lost their minds.

Under the cover of the personal guards and Lin Long, Li Ming was also helping the soldiers at the camp gap to block the enemy troops who broke into the camp. The flag of the general behind him attracted most of the enemy troops. Everyone wanted to rush to him and cut off his head so that he could make himself successful as soon as possible. Therefore, the most soldiers fell in front of him, so that in the end, Li Ming's hands were numb, and in front of him, there were corpses more than half a person tall piled up.

This battle was so dark that the sky was dark, the sun and the moon were gone, and the sound of killing and screams filled the world. Everyone forgot time, forgot themselves, and turned into a bloodthirsty madman.

The sky gradually became gloomy, and the dark clouds blocked the sunlight in its depths. In the thick clouds, sparkling lightning floated by from time to time, adding a lot of solemn atmosphere to this tragic battlefield.

After successfully dealing with the soldiers from Li Qing's western region, the Iron Armored Army quickly bypassed the north of Li Ming's military camp and formed a formation on the side of the supply team in the eastern region of Li Qing.

The commander of the Iron Armored Army, who led the team, was obviously very experienced. Although the camp was fighting in the south, the pressure on the camp was far less than that in the east. Therefore, he did not take the opportunity to attack the enemy in the south, because if the Iron Armored Army wanted to exert its power, it had to use the power of their formation to strike, so that they were invincible. The single Iron Armored Army had no effect. The enemy in the south had been entangled with his defenders. In this case, the Iron Armored Army was useless. Therefore, the commander decisively ordered his subordinates to bypass the north of the camp and wanted to knock out the reinforcements from the east of the enemy first. He knew that behind them, there were still 20,000 city guards that could arrive immediately. As long as they joined the battle group, the enemy troops that attacked the camp were vulnerable.

Soon, the Iron Armored Army formed a formation on the side of the enemy's east side. With a command, the neat team gradually accelerated and rushed towards the reinforcements of the enemy.

Like the attacking team in the west, the soldiers here had never seen the majestic and magnificent iron armored army battle formation. The row of steel walls on the opposite side were rushing towards them quickly, so why didn't they lose their souls? Soon, they threw the threats and orders of their own officials out of the sky. The things in front of them were still important to save their lives. Therefore, when the iron armored army rushed to the enemy, they could only encounter those remaining soldiers who had no time to escape.

As soon as the Iron Armored Army came forward, the pressure on Li Ming's side disappeared, especially the attack troops in the west were currently being attacked by the 20,000 city guards who arrived later, so what they had to deal with was only attacks from the southern enemy. This time, Li Ming quickly freed up his hand. After quickly reorganizing the remaining soldiers in the camp, Li Ming personally led his team to break out of the camp and detoured the enemy's southern attack troops from the west. On the one hand, he intercepted the enemy's reinforcements from Wang'an City, and on the other hand, he surrounded the enemy's soldiers in the encirclement of his own soldiers.

Li Ming personally led two thousand personal guards, and with the assistance of Lin Long, blocked the reinforcements in Wang'an's city, which gave the rest of the soldiers the chance to beat the dogs. In the area of ​​the camp, Li Ming's troops had the advantage for the first time, so soon, they wiped out the enemy troops that invaded the camp.

Li Qing released a total of 20,000 guards in Wang'an City. After these two attacks, they lost seven or eight thousand people in total. Therefore, there are not many reinforcements that can be sent from there. Facing the four or five thousand soldiers of the other side, Li Ming and his two thousand guards did not care. In just over twenty minutes, they had already defeated the wolf who killed those who were killed and returned.

However, after all, Li Qing had an army of 100,000. Although he had lost some part, he still had at least 30,000 to 40,000 troops in his eastern base camp, which is comparable to Li Ming's current strength.

The more than 10,000 city defense forces brought by Li Ming lost nearly 10,000 people in the two attacks of the enemy, while the new recruits lost more, more than 20,000 people, and currently only 8,000 left. Therefore, the total number of people around Li Ming is about 15,000. These people, plus the 30,000 Imperial Guards who came to reinforce, Li Ming has only more than 30,000 people in total.

On Li Qing's side, in addition to the 40,000 troops on the base camp, there are more than 20,000 troops in the western military camp, and nearly 10,000 people in Wang'an City, with a total of 70,000 people, far exceeding Li Ming in the number of people. However, his 20,000 troops in the west are currently being besieged by the 20,000 city guards who are reinforced. With the combat effectiveness of the city guards, Li Qing's 20,000 troops are really worth mentioning.

Li Qing is also aware of his own suffering now. At that time, he did not expect Li Ming to be so alert. Before his large army showed up, he had already sent people to call for reinforcements. Therefore, all his deployments were set up for Li Ming's isolated army. From a general tactic, if there was only Li Ming's army, Li Qing's arrangement was seamless: 30,000 troops camped in the west to prevent Li Ming's army from escaping; 20,000 troops defended in Wang'an City, and could attack and harass at any time; Li Qing personally led the remaining 50,000 troops to be stationed on the East Road, as the main attack force, and this arrangement made no comments from any experienced general. But when Li Qing met Li Ming, he absolutely did not expect that when he attacked with all his strength and the other party was about to lose support, their reinforcements would arrive so quickly.

The closest distance to the imperial city is also 70 miles away. Therefore, if you want to increase troops from there, it will take at least half a day from sending troops to ask for help, then gathering reinforcements, and then waiting for reinforcements to arrive at the battle site. Therefore, Li Qing had considered this factor before considering this tactic. In his plan, even if Li Ming could ask for help in time, he should be able to annihilate Li Ming when the reinforcements arrived. However, he had calculated it greatly, but he did not calculate that Li Ming had already sent reinforcements last night.

The current situation made him very uncomfortable. From his own investigation, he had already learned about the experience of his western troops. When he didn't know that these 30,000 troops were just to prevent Li Ming's troops from escaping, he didn't expect that now it would become a piece of fat sent to the other party's mouth. The strength of the city guard Li Qing clearly stated that his 20,000 troops were not their opponents at all, but now his army is separated by the opponent's 10,000 iron armored troops and a camp of the other party

It is impossible to rescue these 20,000 troops. Are you willing to give up? He is really reluctant to let it go. He said 20,000 troops, not too much, but it just makes Li Qing feel distressed. It was originally difficult to train soldiers, but now he is watching his troops slowly being eliminated by the other party. This torture and torture really made Li Qing a little crazy. He never expected that the one-step surprise soldier he had carefully arranged at the beginning had now become the biggest defeat.

Listening to the clamoring shouts of killing in the distance and looking at the rows of solemn iron armored troops in front of him, Li Qing suddenly made up his mind. Instead of letting his troops be gradually eaten away by the opponent, it would be better to take advantage of the 20,000 city guards of the other party being delayed by his own lonely army and defeat the ten thousand iron armored troops in front of him. Although he also saw the power of the iron armored troops just now, how could he, who had always been ambitious, not researched ways to deal with the iron armored troops? As early as three or four years ago, under the planning of his staff, he had developed ten ways to deal with the iron armored troops. However, most of these methods were talked on paper and had not been verified by actual combat. Therefore, whether they could be useful is not even Li Qing himself. In such a critical situation in front of him, he could only choose the simplest and most effective method to implement.

Therefore, after urgent consultations with generals at all levels, Li Qing's army came out in full swing, leaving no soldier. Even Li Qing followed the army as the supervisor, urging the troops in front to bravely move forward.

Seeing the momentum of Li Qing's army, the commander of the Iron Armored Army was not panicked. He just carefully observed the situation in front of him and calmly waited for the next move of the enemy. It was not until the opponent's army was all arranged outside the camp that he raised the spear in his hand and issued an order to attack.

Suddenly, the heavy horse's hooves trembled the earth again. Amid the thunderous horse's hooves, the Iron Armored Army let out a neat shout, and then rushed towards Li Qing's troops who were sorting out the team.

Li Qing, who was riding high on the war horse, had a sneer on the corner of his mouth at this time. Seeing that the Iron Armored Army was getting faster and faster, he couldn't help but show his frenzy and expectant eyes.

With a war drum, the whole group of soldiers quickly arranged the formation. Then the spearman squatted down in front, tilted the spear in his hand upwards, and firmly stuck the tail of the spear on the ground, staring nervously at the front. At the same time, the cavalry on both sides also took off the battle formation and actually ran up against the Iron Armored Army.

Soon, Li Qing's cavalry and Li Ming's iron armored army were about to meet, facing the torrent of steel in front of them. The cavalry were indeed very panicked, but they also knew that they had been regarded as scapegoats by Li Qing, but what could they do? These people all have families, so they had to think about their relatives. If they died in battle like this, the relatives would still get some compensation. But if they ran away, they would not only be able to escape, but even their relatives would be implicated. One of them was the ones on the left, so it was clear which one they chose. Therefore, although they were afraid that they could not hold the weapons in their hands, they still had to bite the bullet and rush forward.

Seeing that the two sides were about to collide, the iron armored soldiers couldn't help but sneer on their faces. Their war horses were all one in a hundred, and their bodies were covered with hard iron armor. Coupled with the full sprint, this impetus was immeasurable. The opponent could not stop their neat queue with his unprotected war horses. At most, they could slightly block their momentum of progress.

However, at this time, Li Qing's cavalry suddenly took an action that puzzled everyone.

They suddenly waved the long sword in their hands and bent down to kick the horses they were riding. In an instant, there were bursts of sad screams of war horses neighing on the battlefield. As the horses fell to the ground, the soldiers on the horses were quickly thrown out and soon fell under the horse's hooves of the opponent's iron armored army. There were very few soldiers who were lucky enough to ride firmly on the horse's back.

At this time, the soldiers of the Iron Armored Army discovered the other party's conspiracy, but it was too late to discover that their horses had already stepped onto the war horses on the ground.
