Chapter 1388 The Jin people have arrived!
"Big brother! An opportunity! An opportunity!"
Xue Lihua clung tightly to Qin Ming's spiked club, shouting for her older brother to come and seize the opportunity.
But he didn't see the familiar iron spear appear for a long time, so he had no choice but to turn back.
Turning around, he found his older brother standing there dumbfounded, without any sign of him making a move!
No, brother, this is a chance I risked my life for! What are you doing?
"Big Brother!!"
Xue Lihuaxi let out a final roar, but he couldn't do any more, because the wound in his chest had already drained him of too much strength!
"Second brother! Traitor! Take this!"
Xue Lihua Dong was truly stunned, because he didn't expect that his two brothers would be killed and seriously injured in an instant, which made him lose his focus!
But Xue Lihua's final roar brought him back to his senses. Looking at his second brother who was about to die, Xue Lihua, filled with grief and indignation, thrust out the strongest spear of his life!
"puff!!"
The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh rang out; the spear had struck, but the person stabbed was not Qin Ming, whom Xue Lihua Dong had imagined! It was her own younger brother, Xue Lihua Xi!
Qin Ming did only one thing: he used his spiked club to lift Xue Lihua Xi up and used him as a shield!
But that was enough. Because of her chest injury, Xue Lihuaxi had no strength to resist Qin Ming. So when he lifted her up, Xue Lihuaxi could only continue to hold onto Qin Ming's spiked club!
Then, he felt as if someone had pierced his back! A spear tip emerged from his chest, taking away his last breath!
That was the familiar spearhead! It belonged to my elder brother!
"Big, big brother..."
Xue Lihua Xi's face showed a helpless expression. She had risked her life for this opportunity, and what was her older brother doing?
"Second brother!"
Yukiri Hana Dong also realized something was wrong; his strongest attack had actually pierced his own younger brother.
This...this is just messing around!
"What a deep brotherly bond!"
Qin Ming snorted coldly and forcefully pushed the spiked club forward, shoving Xue Lihuaxi's body onto Xue Lihuadong's body!
"Oh!"
Upon receiving the blow from his younger brother's corpse, Xue Lihua Dong staggered. Only then did he realize that because of Qin Ming's attack, his iron spear was still stuck in his brother's body, leaving him without a weapon!
Qin Ming wouldn't give him a chance to react and grab another weapon. He swung his spiked club and smashed it directly onto Xue Lihua Dong's forehead!
"Bang!!"
When the stick struck, it was as if a jar had been smashed. Xue Lihua's head exploded, and all sorts of things inside flew everywhere!
In that instant, all the generals of the Jin vanguard were wiped out! Qin Ming alone killed the three Xue Lihua brothers!
"Fight them back!"
Huang Xin is currently commanding his troops to fight against the Jin army's vanguard. You have to admit that Huang Xin's command ability is quite good. Even with the large armies tangled together, he is still able to lead his troops in a regional counterattack and gain a certain advantage, which is already very rare.
"Where is the Wolf Fang Battalion?"
After Qin Ming killed the three Xue Lihua, he summoned his Wolf Fang Battalion. The so-called Wolf Fang Battalion was a thousand tall and strong soldiers in the Thunderbolt Legion, all wielding wolf-tooth clubs. This was Qin Ming's elite force, divided into the First Battalion and the Second Battalion. They had followed Qin Ming through thick and thin, and each of them was a top-notch hero!
"The First Battalion of the Wolf Fang Army has arrived!"
The commander of the Wolf Fang Battalion was surnamed Gao. His wolf-tooth club was covered with bits of flesh as he charged toward Qin Ming.
"Xiao Gao! Take your battalion and follow me!"
"Yes, sir! First Battalion! Follow the commander!"
Xiao Gao commanded the 500 elite soldiers of the First Battalion, following behind Qin Ming. As they marched, they constantly changed formations, their spiked clubs flying up and down. Any Jin soldier who got even a little bit of their clubs would have his skin torn open!
Meanwhile, the Second Battalion of the Wolf Fang Army, commanded by someone surnamed Geng, was currently roaming around in the chaos of battle, disrupting the Jin army's plans!
The Jurchens were very brave, but they were ultimately lacking a general to lead them. At first, they were able to hold their ground, but after a while, they began to retreat.
After all, the Jurchens' initial mission was simply to occupy the front lines, and now they have exceeded expectations.
Therefore, along the long battlefront, we can see the Thunderbolt Legion slowly pushing the Jin army back north. They fought from morning till dusk, finally pushing the Jin army back to the other side of the battlefield!
"Hurry and set up camp!"
Qin Ming saw that the Jurchens had already begun to set up camp on the other side of the battlefield. An idea flashed through his mind: to push forward in one fell swoop!
However, he quickly suppressed this idea. This would be a major battle, not something that could be won simply by winning one or two small victories. Even if he pushed his way through now, what difference would it make? The main force of the Jin army hadn't arrived yet. If he chased after them and then encountered the main force of the Jin army, wouldn't he be doomed?
Therefore, the two sides tacitly separated on the battlefield. Although the Jin vanguard suffered heavy losses and lost its leading general, at least their camp was still in good shape. After the defeated army retreated, they were not in such a bad state.
"Xiao Gao! Xiao Geng!"
Qin Ming summoned his elite troops.
"Commander!"
"You two battalions will take turns patrolling and keeping an eye on the Jurchens on the other side. If they make any unusual moves, fire the signal arrows immediately!"
"Yes!"
The two men accepted the order and went down to their camp. However, perhaps because the Jurchens had lost their commander, they did not launch any raids after retreating into the camp. Instead, they stayed inside and remained peaceful.
This relieved Qin Ming, who then ordered the entire army to race against time to build camps for the main force, determined to finish the camps before the enemy's main force arrived!
Nothing happened that night, and nothing else happened the next day either. But on the afternoon of the third day, while Qin Ming was carefully comparing maps in the army camp, he suddenly felt a slight tremor in the ground, and the frequency of the tremor was increasing!
"The Jin people are here!"
Qin Ming immediately donned his armor and left his tent, leading his troops to the watchtower, where he raised his telescope and looked north.
The sky was filled with dust. In the northern grasslands visible from afar, the dust was flying everywhere. The traces of a large group of people could be vaguely seen in the dust. Moreover, the dust was advancing very quickly, and the trembling underfoot was becoming more and more obvious. Obviously, this could not be done by manpower alone.
"Cavalry...and at least two hundred thousand of them!"
Qin Ming put down his telescope, his expression extremely serious.
What does 200,000 cavalrymen mean? The Dayi Army can be said to be strong and well-equipped now, but even if the whole country were mobilized, it might only be able to muster 200,000 cavalrymen. But the other side has at least 200,000 cavalrymen! The difference between them is obvious!
"The Jin Kingdom... has so many horses!"
Qin Ming's tone was full of helplessness. Although Dayi had enough horse farms after the return of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the time was too short. If Dayi were given another ten years, they could also field 200,000 cavalry!
but now……
"Bring out the cannons the Divine Machine Army gave us! No matter how powerful the cavalry is, they can't withstand cannon fire!"
Before their own army even arrived, the enemy came first. The ensuing defensive battle will be no easy task for the Thunderbolt Legion!
Fortunately, they now have artillery. As Ren Yuan once said, when in doubt, use artillery fire in three rounds!
