Chapter 169 5 reinforcements! ?
Zhong Enhe stroked his short beard and smiled while shaking his head, saying, "It seems that Mr. Sima Ru made a misjudgment on this point. He didn't ambushed a large army in the rear and waited for us to take the bait!"
"He just has no soldiers! So he watched us build fortifications and didn't think of sending troops to stop us."
"Haha, I guess he is waiting for reinforcements from Daying. That's great! I'm also waiting for reinforcements. Let's see whose reinforcements are larger!"
Zhong Enhe raised his head and glanced at the sky, then he asked his subordinate: "By the way, has the emperor sent reinforcements?"
The subordinate nodded and said, "They have been sent out and are on their way."
Zhong Enhe nodded slightly, and continued to ask: "How many troops were sent? Is it 300,000?"
This number was the number of troops he had estimated in his mind. Their country could provide more troops, but it would require the mobilization of the entire country.
But he didn't think that the emperor would send so many troops. Now it was winter, which was not suitable for large-scale combat.
However, the subordinate's answer surprised him greatly. The man said, "General, according to intelligence, the emperor has sent out 500,000 troops this time! Except for the imperial guards and some troops guarding the border, all others have been sent out."
"And this time they brought better weapons and equipment. His Majesty said that since we want to destroy Daying's hope, we will not hold back!"
The subordinate continued, "In addition, General Jin Zhengzhu has also brought the 'Black Gold Cavalry'! It seems that this time the emperor is determined to have us go south after destroying the Marquis of Zhenxi and directly attack the capital of Daying!"
Zhong Enhe's pupils trembled, and his whole body began to tremble involuntarily.
"You actually sent an army of 500,000? Your Majesty is so courageous!" He was really surprised that the emperor sent so many troops this time.
It seems that His Majesty is really determined to take over the entire Daying Empire! Even if he cannot destroy Daying in one fell swoop, he must at least take over half of Daying.
Even if the royal family of Daying flees south, there is no need to be afraid. They will have plenty of opportunities to send troops south to complete the unification in the future!
As for the "Black Gold Cavalry" that his subordinates had just mentioned, they were also coming, which made Zhong Enhe extremely excited.
The "Black Gold Iron Cavalry" is the ace army of their country, led by North Korea's first general Kim Jong-soo!
Kim Jong-soo is of royal blood and is extremely brave. No general in the entire country can be his opponent. He is also a good man who is loyal to the emperor and patriotic!
When Ying Tiangan led the Huben Army to repel them, General Jin Zhengzhu was not there. At that time, he was leading the Black Gold Iron Cavalry to the north to attack the Yuan Kingdom, and thus missed the opportunity to fight Ying Tiangan.
[Unparalleled in the World] Kim Jong-soo, this is exactly what the people of the country and his ministers call him, because he has never lost a battle since he led the troops!
I think he personally led the army here this time just to make up for the regret of that year. Since he failed to fight with Ying Tiangan, he could always fight with his son, right?
As long as the Marquis of Zhenxi is defeated, who else in the whole of Daying can stop General Jin Zhengzhu? No wonder the emperor has the ambition to take over Daying this time.
On the city wall, Zhong Enhe's hearty laughter was heard.
"Great! That's great! With Marshal Jin here, I feel like the head of the Marquis of Zhenxi has rolled around in front of my eyes. This time, our country will surely win a great victory! We will also surely take down Daying!"
"With 500,000 troops plus the 200,000 soldiers and horses I have, and 70,000 puppet troops, a total of 700,000 to 800,000 troops! What can the Marquis of Zhenxi use to fight? How can Daying stop it?"
"Hahaha! Daying is such an idiot! He even helped us out. Without Ying Tiangan, we've lost a big threat!"
At this moment, Zhong Enhe was so excited that his whole body was shaking. An army of 800,000 was enough to sweep away everything!
What does it mean to sweep? It means to kill all gods who stand in the way! Kill all Buddhas who stand in the way! Invincible! Unbeatable! They have endured humiliation and hardship for so many years just for this moment!
The subordinate bowed and said, "Congratulations in advance, General! Marshal Jin will be the first contributor, and you, General, will be the second greatest contributor!"
Zhong Enhe was extremely pleased with what his subordinates said. He leaned against the city wall and laughed for a while. Then he looked sharp and sneered:
"Those Yandong traitors can die, but the Marquis of Zhenxi shouldn't have killed 50,000 of my soldiers! If he kills my people, he won't have an easy life!"
"This time, an army of 800,000 will be enough to annihilate him completely! And we will crush their flesh and blood with our horses' hooves and spread them all over the land!"
"Once this harsh winter is over, the soil will be fertile next year. Hahaha! I will thank them well when the harvest comes."
"Burn more paper money for the dead? Oh, yes, yes! Pour some wine for them to drink! Hahaha!"
Zhong Enhe and his subordinates laughed loudly on the city wall, and the guards on the side also laughed. At this moment, everyone was excited!
......
At this moment, at the border of Chao State, on the snow-covered field, a mighty army was marching forward.
The army was so large that it stretched as far as the eye could see. Every member of the army was wearing armor and an iron helmet, holding various weapons, and beneath the iron helmets were solemn faces.
Behind the army, war horses wearing heavy iron armor trampled on the ground, breathing heavily with every advance.
On the backs of the war horses were cavalrymen wearing heavy armor and holding cold heavy spears. The spear tips were cold and shining, looking a little hideous in the severe cold.
If you look closely, you will see that the attire of these cavalrymen is very similar to that of the heavy cavalry of the Lugo tribe, but they are even more powerful than the heavy cavalry of the Hu people!
These are the heavy cavalry of the Chao Kingdom! The people of Chao Kingdom call them the "Black Armor Army"!
Behind the Black Armor Army was a group of cavalrymen wearing black and gold armor. Compared with other soldiers, these people were taller and stronger!
Moreover, the war horses they ride are larger than any other horses in the army!
This cavalry is none other than Kim Jong-soo's direct subordinate unit, the [Black and Gold Cavalry]. They are the strongest cavalry in the Joseon Dynasty. All of the cavalry have been selected after going through layers of tests. They are the elite among the elites!
If the Huben Army was once the ace army of the Daying Dynasty, then the Black Gold Cavalry Army was the ace army of the Chao Kingdom!
Behind the Black Gold Cavalry, there were countless horses pulling tall siege weapons.
Among them were battering rams for breaking down city gates, catapults for smashing down city walls, and towers and ladders for attacking cities.
Not only that, behind the siege equipment there were heavy crossbows placed on wooden carts! These heavy crossbows were huge, and the crossbow arrows used to break the city were extremely thick and made of fine iron!
It is conceivable that if such a crossbow arrow hits the city wall or the army, it will be a heavy blow!
