”Take over the Changjin Ferry Pass, and seize its food?” That was possible, but he had already sent Guo Si to rush there with more than thirty thousand cavalrymen. Just with these thirty thousand Xiliang Steel Cavalry, those over two hundred thousand Army of Montenegro s would not be able to take over the Changjin Camp. Furthermore, he had already sent Li Meng from the Fu County Base Camp to attack the Changjin Ferry Pass, so it was almost impossible for the Army of Montenegro to take over the Changjin Ferry Pass.
Wang Fang saw that Li Ru's face was gloomy and did not speak, but he became impatient, and said coldly: ”Military Advisor, since the Black Hills Thieves does not attack, we will not attack, what are we waiting for? ”After standing here for half a day, the soldiers are already hungry.”
”Hungry?” Li Ru was shocked, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Black Mountain military formation. Although they were very far away, Li Ru could still feel that Army of Montenegro soldiers seemed to be very tired. There were even some soldiers sitting on the ground.
”Is this because Black Hills Thieves did not eat and the soldiers were hungry? Or did Yang Lin purposely show weakness in order to lure us to attack? ” As a strategist, Li Ru always thought things through as thoroughly as possible. He really did not dare imagine that Yang Lin would catch the hungry Army of Montenegro on the battlefield.
”Lord Commander, gather 10,000 heavy armored soldiers to attack the great formation of the Black Hills Thieves.” No matter what intentions Yang Lin had, he decided to give it a try. If Army of Montenegro was truly extremely hungry, he would suppress all the soldiers at the same time and destroy the great array of Army of Montenegro in one go.
Wang Fang was startled, he was obviously unhappy, what if they wanted to attack? However, Li Ru was a popular man to Dong Zhuo, so he did not dare offend him. He could only follow Li Ru's orders and gather the Heavy Armor Squadron members that he had under him, in preparation to attack Army of Montenegro.
Yang Lin looked to the east from time to time, his eyebrows knitted even tighter. Although he did everything he could think of to order the three Army of Montenegro armies that were in charge of attacking to practice attacking formation so as to attract the attention of the West Cold Army, he was not sure how much longer he could lie to Li Ru.
The reason why he placed his position more than a thousand steps away from the West Cold Army was because he wanted the terrain to be advantageous, also because he wanted to stay as far away from the West Cold Army as possible so that Li Ru would not be able to figure out the truth. He even made the soldiers take turns to rest, to disrupt Li Ru's train of thought.
From his guess, for someone as cautious as Li Ru, with such little military strength, he shouldn't risk attacking the Black Mountain Army that had more than 200,000 people. As long as he endured until the afternoon, when his own reinforcements arrived, wouldn't these thirty thousand West Cold Army s be a piece of cake?
But no matter how good his calculations were, he had encountered the cautious but very smart Li Ru. The position of the West Cold Army was quickly adjusted, ten thousand heavy armoured soldiers walked out from the battle formation, and formed an offensive formation in front of the West Cold Army.
Almost all of the over sixty thousand soldiers that Wang Fang was leading originated from the original West Garden Army. After Dong Zhuo entered the Luoyang, with just an imperial edict, all of these West Garden Army became Dong Zhuo's troops and most of the generals had already been replaced, led by Dong Zhuo's generals.
The quality and equipment of the soldiers were all top-notch, it could be said that they were the elite masters of this era. No one would have thought that this team would fall into Dong Zhuo's hands, and lose his river and mountain in the end.
The Heavy Armored Step Soldiers in the West Garden Army were the main assault teams that the West Garden Army had specially used to break the enemy's formation. The soldiers were all carefully selected tall and strong warriors. Every single one of them wore armor that weighed at least a hundred kilograms. In each of their hands was a tall and sturdy steel shield.
The soldiers of the West Garden Army were very confident in their combat abilities, they did not even put these Black Hills Thieves who they called a motley crowd in their eyes. They arrogantly raised their heads and looked down at the Black Mountain military formation in disdain.
”Wuwuwu …”
A low and deep Bullhorn sound came out, slowly spreading through the wilderness. Everyone could feel the surrounding air slightly trembling. This was the West Cold Army blowing the attack horn, the horn's sound slowly swept past the Army of Montenegro's heads, the tense atmosphere immediately enveloped the Black Mountain military formation.
The hundred-year-old locust tree on the slope also shook its head in fear, as if it couldn't bear to see the fighting taking place on this piece of land. A few dark clouds drifted over, blotting out the cold sun in the sky. The land suddenly became dark.
The uninterrupted Bullhorn's voice immediately grabbed the hearts of the Army of Montenegro's men. Whether they were willing or not, whether they were hungry or tired, regardless of whether they were leaders or soldiers, they had to fight with their lives on the line! Otherwise, everyone would face annihilation.
Li Ru spurred his horse and walked forward, his eyes sweeping across all the heavy armoured s. Seeing their high morale, he couldn't help but reveal a gratified smile. With such excellent equipment and such high morale, how could there still be an enemy formation that could not be breached?
But when he turned around and saw that there was still no movement in the Black Mountain military formation, a series of questions arose from the bottom of his heart. What exactly is this Yang Lin doing? How could he not be moved by the attacks of the West Cold Army?
”Attack!”
Li Ru waved his hand with all his might and gave the order decisively. In this boundless wilderness, he didn't believe that Yang Lin could come up with any new tricks. Li Ru's face was gloomy, just like the sky, which was covered with black clouds. He gazed at the great array of the Army of Montenegro, and revealed a cold smile.
”Phew …” Phew... Phew... ”Phew …”
”Boom …” Dong … Dong … ”Boom …”
The heavy armored pawns shouted. Along with the thumping of the battle drums, he began to move towards the Army of Montenegro's position with orderly steps. This kind of shout and Battle Drum could adjust their pace, allowing the attacking troops to advance in unison. At the same time, it could also intimidate the enemy, destroy their will, and also boost their morale.
More than ten thousand heavy armoured soldiers formed an offensive formation, shooting towards the Army of Montenegro like arrows. In order to maintain their offensive formation, they did not advance at a fast pace. A dense mass of heads. Just like a huge black cloud, covering the wilderness, pressing down heavily on Army of Montenegro's heart.
