Father can be an enemy to the country

Before dawn the next day, the two armies buried pots to cook early so that the soldiers could have a hearty meal.

In the early morning, the Luchuan Army's Shili Joint Camp became completely noisy. The camp gates were opened one after another, and the participating troops marched to the decisive battle site on the right bank of the Nanjian River.

Of course, no matter how large the battlefield is, it is impossible to invest 300,000 troops at once, and the Lucchuan Army does not have that many soldiers.

Therefore, those who followed Silunfa into battle were 50,000 Xila soldiers, including his direct guards, and 50,000 servant soldiers from occupied areas such as Tianzhu, Burma, and Siam.

The remaining 200,000 auxiliary soldiers are not just as simple as waving flags and shouting, carrying the wounded and delivering meals. Once the regular soldiers are injured or killed, they have to make up for it at any time to ensure that the force is always sufficient.

However, the momentum of the 100,000-strong army was already extremely astonishing. Under the leadership of their respective officers, they poured into the battlefield like a black tide sweeping across the earth.

It took a full hour for the 100,000 troops to get into position. According to the formation they are most accustomed to, they are divided into two formations, front and rear. The front formation is responsible for the assault, with the war elephant group in the center. There was a mix of infantry and cavalry on both sides, and the infantry were all harpooneers, responsible for providing long-range cover for the war elephants and cavalry.

The rear formation is composed of a large number of joint troops of various ethnic groups in different costumes. Their mission is to follow the assault troops, deal with the scattered enemy troops, and completely seal the victory.

Si Lunfa was riding on a war elephant whose body was glittering with golden light. Even its big tusks were golden. Surrounded by the cavalry of the Guards, he inspected his huge army along the long military formation. Wherever he passed, the mountains roared and the tsunami roared. . The soldiers looked at the dust and danced in obeisance, shouting in unison:

"Dragon God bless you, long live the king!"

Silun sat on the golden throne, and the warm wind at the end of February blew his serious face. Seeing this scene of stars holding the moon, it is difficult not to feel infinite pride——

This is my king’s invincible army! Ask who is the enemy in this world? !

He used the royal staff in his hand to gently knock the floor under his feet, and the elephant slave immediately controlled the war elephant to stop. Four elephant legs thicker than pillars stood firmly. Silunfa slowly stood up and delivered a pre-battle speech to his soldiers:

"Forty years ago, our fathers and grandfathers defeated the arrogant Yuan army on this land and created a powerful and powerful Luchuan Kingdom! Now, it is our generation's turn to come to this land, It’s time to face the arrogant Ming army! With this victory, the Luchuan Kingdom will continue its glory and become more powerful. It is likely to take over the entire Yunnan in the future, and the imperial hegemony will be just around the corner!"

"At that time, I will take you to Dali and Kunming, and all the land occupied by the Han people will be given to you as fiefs, so that you can live a good life that you can't even dream of! Do you think it's okay? OK?!"

"Okay!" Luchuan Jun shouted excitedly, everyone was gearing up, and their blood was boiling with excitement.

"But if we lose this battle, it will be a situation where the country will be destroyed and the family will be destroyed. I can only die for the country, and you will become slaves of the subjugated country at the mercy of the Han people. By then, not only will you become slaves of the Han people, Your women, your fields and property will all be taken over by the Han! Just like what they did in Yunnan in recent years. Do you agree?!"

"No!" The roar was much louder than before.

"Then what should we do?!" Silunfa shouted with all his strength.

"Kill the enemy, kill the enemy, kill the enemy!" The soldiers of the Luchuan Army roared with all their strength, the sound shook the valley and reached into the sky. Even the ground seemed to be shaking slightly.

~~

In fact, the trembling on the ground came from the Ming army's 30,000 cavalry.

Over there, Silunfa had finished mobilizing before the war, and the Ming army had just come out.

Thirty thousand cavalry were divided into three groups and lined up two hundred feet away from the Luchuan army.

Among them, the left army was led by Jin Chaoxing, the Marquis of Xuande, and the right army was led by Fei Ju, the Marquis of Pingliang. The middle route army was led by Mu Ying personally.

Different from the Luchuan Army, although the Ming Army was all cavalry, they were still heavily arrayed and maintained a strict formation during the march. The officers and soldiers remained silent. The only sounds in the army were the snorting of war horses and the clatter of horse hooves, which was so quiet that it was suffocating.

It’s just that the chilling air coming from his bones cannot be hidden at all!

When he came to the front of the formation, Mu Ying also mobilized his soldiers. His majestic gaze slowly swept over the generals. When all the troops and horses were looking at him, he used the energy of his Dantian to send his voice to the ears of each soldier:

"Now we are going deep into the enemy's territory and fighting with them. If we win, we will live, if we lose, we will die. We have received great kindness from the Lord, and we will repay you with success today. I will make an appointment with Ruo Ruo. Those who have meritorious service will be rewarded, and those who retreat will be killed!"

Mu Ying's mobilization was brief and powerful, but for this mature Ming army that was already full of veterans, it was enough.

Because they are an invincible army that can win every battle. They once followed the emperor to unify the world, followed the general's cavalry in the northern expedition to the grasslands, followed King Ninghe on an expedition to the northwest, and followed the prince to sweep across Yunnan!

Countless heroes who dominated the world were beaten to a pulp by them. They were either dead or surrendered, or they fled in panic like a lost dog. What's there to be afraid of, just a little strong guy from the Southern Wilderness? !

"Always victorious!" The soldiers burst into a short roar.

After the soldiers responded in unison, Mu Ying asked loudly and relaxedly:

"Brothers, is this your first time seeing such a formation?"

The officers and soldiers nodded silently, mainly because they had never seen an elephant before, and they were war elephants armed to the teeth. Such a large group of behemoths the size of houses would feel oppressive just standing there, and once they charged forward, they would be unstoppable by flesh and blood.

At this time, the Lucchuan Army on the opposite side beat hundreds of elephant foot drums, and more than two hundred war elephants stretched out their necks and sang in unison. The sound was powerful and high-pitched, and it was full of momentum!

Seeing the Lucchuan Army training the elephants to obey orders so well, the Ming Army officers and soldiers were still a little frightened. With just their flesh and blood, can they stop these huge monsters?

Marquis Xiping said in a relaxed tone:

"What the enemy relies on is just a war elephant. Look, I will destroy it for you!"

After saying this, he also ordered the Ming army to play the drums. The shirtless drummers beat the big cowhide drums, tit for tat with the enemy's drums.

Amidst the intertwining drumbeats from both sides, the Luchuan Army urged the war elephants to begin to advance. Two hundred war elephants marched towards the Ming army's formation with heavy steps, and the ground shook with every step. The overwhelming feeling of oppression is truly suffocating!

Silunfa looked at the elephants he spent a lot of money to raise with satisfaction. I don't know how many times before, many enemies were so frightened that they dropped their helmets and armor and fled when they saw the war elephant charging.

However, the Ming army still maintained a strict formation without any sign of wavering, which made him a little disappointed.

"Then just wait to be trampled into mud!" Silunfa gritted his teeth.
