The hour of dawn is the time of the Great War.
The coalition camp was on fire, and it was clear that the north and south flanks had completely collapsed and could no longer do anything, and if the fire continued to spread, it would inevitably lead to the entire battalion being burned down.
Wang Teng gave a suggestion: "The useless troops retreat and concentrate the elite for dawn." ” In the real decisive battle, the role of the slave soldiers is actually not high, and the role they can play is nothing more than to charge to consume the enemy's strength, and maybe it can also make the enemy army chaotic, but the effect is really not great.
"It's fine."
Yao Lan just said casually, of course he knew that the burden of slave soldiers in the decisive battle was more than the actual use: "Look at the appearance, it's not easy to give orders." ” The fire was soaring into the sky and the smoke was billowing out, and the entire camp was actually in chaos, and it was vaguely possible to draw a judgment from some of the torch dragons on the periphery that the Han Department had increased its troops from other directions, and it was definitely going to take advantage of the situation to pull out the camp.
The camp is chaotic, it should be caught in a certain degree of camp roar, in this case, it is difficult to control the slave soldiers, Yao Lan almost instantly made up her mind, concentrated the elite to decide the victory or defeat, and the dawn moment is the time to decide.
It doesn't seem abrupt, and it can even be said that the top brass of the coalition army is psychologically prepared, after all, the coalition forces have been attacking for nearly a month, and the fact that they have not achieved much results has already appeared weak and demoralized, how could they not guess that it should be the moment when the Han counterattack is a little, they really did not expect that it would be a night attack.
It is important to understand the fact that in this day and age, except for a limited number of armies, it is impossible to fight at night because of malnutrition, which has led to the fact that most people have night blindness.
Those who can see a little in the dark of night are all treated very well, at least not without meat and vegetables, so they have enough vitamins.
The coalition forces vigorously mobilized the troops they could command, until a faint light appeared in the east, and the assembled troops were only in their early 20,000s, and the rest were in a state of chaos under the surprise attack of several troops of the Han Army.
"It's not the best decisive battle period, you should wait for Xu Zheng to completely cut off the back of the coalition army, or the news of Ji Chang's attack on Guanggu City."
Of course, Liu Yan knew that life was unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, so he smiled and said, "Today is also suitable." ” Lu Shaoyang, who was standing behind Liu Yan, opened his mouth and couldn't say anything.
Lu Shaoyang had already learned that he would be sent down after this battle, and he should go to a certain combat unit to be the commander of the tun, and he felt that it was a pity and at the same time he was full of ambition.
He knows very well that he was born as the captain of the monarch's guard, and his identity will inevitably be relatively special, and then it is like the night battle unit is the tun chief, and the starting point is actually higher than anyone else, and it should be hard work, and the good thing is to repay the monarch's kindness, and to put it more frankly, it is to fight for a better future of his own.
The desolate sound of the horn came from the side of the coalition army, and when he looked up, the coalition army occupied a large area of space under the black pressure of the earth, and the front army in the middle should be the Qingzhou army, and the left and right wings were the Yao family cavalry.
"Nearly 12,000 cavalry" Liu Yan's cheeks twitched a few times: "It's not easy to do" On the side of the main battlefield of Xiami, there are less than 1,000 cavalry in the Han Department, and the rest are infantry troops.
The reason why last night's attack on the camp was wantonly set on fire was nothing more than an attempt to compress the battlefield space.
However, there was still a lot of room for cavalry to move on this side of the battlefield.
Liu Yan deliberately observed that several troops attacking the camp had changed their tactical movements and began to move in the direction of some key roads.
He made a rough judgment that the losses of the attacking troops seemed to be somewhat heavy It seems that it is reasonable to suffer heavy losses, fire will not divide the enemy from us, and then there is the inevitable chaos in wartime, as the side that takes the initiative to attack only has a certain amount of information advantage, and can pre-determine the retreat route, but there will always be accidents.
Consistent with Yao Lan's choice, there were no slave soldiers in the decisive battle troops posed by Liu Yan, that was out of the same concern, slave soldiers can be driven to death, but slave soldiers are usually very easy to collapse, and it is funny that the slave soldiers collapse and roll up the formation at the moment of the decisive battle.
"Beat the drums of war."
Naturally, someone would convey Liu Yan's order, and it didn't take long for the war drums to be beaten.
The war drum is quite large and circular, and it should have a diameter of two meters There will be a war drum every 300 meters or so, and at this time, watching the tall and strong men are constantly beating the upright war drums with thick drumsticks, they are sweating profusely.
Yao Lan looked at Liu Yan strangely.
Yes, he could see Liu Yan at a glance, just because Liu Yan's position was very obvious.
"The Han Department wants to take the initiative to attack" Wang Teng looked slightly surprised: "They are infantry troops, but they have to take the initiative to attack" It seems strange to look at, but after thinking about it a little, it will be taken for granted, the current battle situation is that the Han side has a morale advantage, so it is necessary to seize the advantage to further attack the already demoralized coalition army.
Look at the soldiers in the coalition camp, a night of attacking the camp forced them to passively face the battle, since yesterday evening after eating a meal, busy for most of the night or not in a state of drinking a drop of rice, it must be said that both mentally and physically appear relatively atrophied.
The soldiers of the coalition army were still a little confident, they were the side with many people, and there were many cavalry, and it was natural to think that the Han army, which was all infantry, would take a defensive position, so they regained a little psychological advantage in this point.
What is the situation now is that the Han Department has beaten the drums of war, and the military formation seems to be really moving forward, causing the coalition soldiers to be stunned for a while, and they can't help but wonder if their side is on the weak side.
The Han Department is advancing, and listening to the war drums is no longer urgent, it is a kind of drum beat that sounds very rhythmic, forming the same frequency as the drums and the soldiers' steps, so that it seems that the earth has become a war drum, as if the Han Department as a whole has become a "person" who beats the war drums.
"Commander, please also give the order to let the cavalry on the left and right flanks cruise."
Wang Teng's face looked grim: "The enemy's military master is a soldier who can lead troops. ” What kind of war is fought outside the battlefield is factors such as national strength, and the most important thing on the battlefield is morale.
And morale is actually a kind of emotion that cannot be seen or touched, but it can be judged from the mental state of the soldiers on both sides.
In fact, there is no need for Wang Teng to say, Yao Lan will also let the cavalry on the left and right flanks cruise.
Only the cavalry in an active state is the best cavalry, since ancient times, there will be very few cavalry to fight in formation, since it is rare to have cavalry to attack the enemy's infantry in a tight formation, that is because the cavalry that loses speed will definitely be slaughtered if it is trapped in the infantry sea.
The cavalry of the coalition army cruised activities, the sound of the war drums of the Han army formation changed, several rapid drums sounded, and from a distance, you could see that there were flags waving in some positions, and then the troops on the left and right flanks of the Han army stopped, and only the Chinese army was still moving forward.
"A soldier is a soldier again" Yao Jing was both confused and shocked: "At least two thousand armor soldiers, where did Liu Yan get so many armor soldiers" Two thousand soldiers marched forward, followed by a thousand spearmen and eight hundred or so archers.
In a position that could not be seen from the outside, there should be close to thirty crossbows in the array Liu Zheng consulted with the others and came to the conclusion that it was time to send an army to meet the battle.
Speaking of which, the coalition forces were still in flames, and a large amount of billowing smoke was also drifting into the sky.
If you can look down from the sky, the camp of the coalition army has been raging, and some camps that have not burned are fighting, but I don't know if there is internal strife or the Han army is still there.
Behind the troops led by Liu Yan is the main city of Xiami, and it can be said that there is at least a way to retreat.
Behind the coalition side is a camp where the fire is spreading, and if you don't take the initiative to face it, you will inevitably be squeezed into space, and when the time comes, you will have to push the fire forward It was again a prelude to the battle with arrows, and the archers of the Han Department formed an arrow array, and the continuous arrow attack was stopped until the armor soldiers in front approached the Qingzhou army twenty paces.
The soldiers on both sides collided in an irregular vertical formation, and it was the Han armor who first used their shields to resist, and then continued to stab their swords, advancing row after row, and in an instant the blood on the battlefield was raging.
Because of the crowded relationship, a considerable number of war dead were squeezed and unable to fall even if they lost their breath.

Fu Wei observed the situation in great detail, personally conducted a calibration, and then read out some numbers such as markers, and ordered the archers who formed the arrow formation to continue to release their arrows.
Liu Zheng, who was staying in the distance, saw the archers of the Han Department constantly shooting arrows at the soldiers behind him, and his cheeks twitched continuously: "I don't want to admit it, but the Han Department is indeed a strong army." ” The brothers of the Yao family glanced at each other silently, they have been fighting for nearly a month, and they have not bargained for anything at all, it is true to say that the Han Department is a strong army.
But they knew that Liu Zheng emphasized again that he just felt that the future of the war was worrying, and he was extricating himself from his incompetence in advance.
In fact, now Yao Lan and Yao Jing are facing a very realistic choice, the war has been very obvious to this part, and they can't solve Liu Yan at one time.
Now that the war situation is favorable to Liu Yan, maybe it is not impossible to fight again, but the losses will definitely be great.
If Liu Yan keeps shrinking, the Yao brothers will continue to consume nothing, and it is the cannon fodder of the slave soldiers who drive the siege of the city, and the soldiers of the clan who do not lose their own clan will feel distressed The contest that is about to start is different for the Yao brothers, it will be the clan soldiers of their own clan who will fight for it, they should think about whether they can win, how much they lose to win, and then whether it is worth losing and gaining.
"Let's see" Yao Jing was unwilling: "We have enough war horses to evacuate at any time." ” Yao Lan was also unwilling, and nodded violently: "Yicheng" Wang Teng squinted his eyes and glanced at Liu Zheng, who was far away, and his mouth let out a "hey, hey, hey" laugh.
The desolate horn sounded, and the Qiang cavalry, which was constantly cruising in the narrow space on both wings, began to turn around:
