The morale of the army is good, and Xu Shiyang's mood has also been much relaxed.

Next, no matter what the Tartars do, they will have one chance at most.

And being squeezed by the new army on both wings, the breakthrough area they could choose was actually very small - it could only be his current position.

This situation covered up Xu Shiyang's weakness - he has never been able to judge the enemy's main attack direction.

It's much better now. Since the enemy only has this one place to attack, he just needs to concentrate more troops here.

Xu Shiyang now has dozens of selection and conquering battles that were finally staying by his side, about 500 Ruis, 200 Qingzhou militias, hundreds of elite militias from the periphery bay fortresses that were constantly gathering (mainly the sons and nephews of the fortress owners and the servants they usually support), and there are more than 20,000 militias from the periphery bay fortresses.

In terms of weapons, some new weapons that have been very small and have not been deployed in the correct position have also been transported. Although Xu Shiyang does not intend to mass-produce these strange weapons on a large scale, these things should have certain effects in defensive battles.

No need to be used, right?

However, the new army artillery that attracted the most attention from Xu Shiyang still failed to reach the front line. After the first chest wall was broken, these cannons were arranged east of the Yellow River by Xu Shiyang to prepare to fight against the Tartars' crossing.

As a result, he found that this arrangement was completely wrong, and light artillery should still be deployed from the front.

But it would be very troublesome to transport them back from the east bank of the Yellow River. The message sent by the artillery commander was that it might take more than two hours for the artillery to arrive.

Xu Shiyang was speechless about this, but this was his own mistake and he could not blame others for it, so he could only instruct the artillery to arrive as soon as possible.

In this final decisive battle, victory always belongs to the side with more reserve teams, and now Xu Shiyang feels this way.

He had ordered the militia that had originally defended the fifth chest wall to come immediately to support, as well as the new army new army camp deployed on the east bank of the Yellow River.

In the rear of the Qingzhou Army, the Jiedushi Xu Muhe ordered a general mobilization across the province a few days ago - all men and women aged 14 to 60 who are still in the rear, men are in the battle for women!

In addition to the 100,000 men and women who were previously responsible for building the Yellow River and canal defense line and are now resting, Xu Muhe is frantically trying to raise an army with a total number of more than 200,000 people!

He probably wanted to command this mob to make a last fight with the Tartars when they broke through the Yellow River defense line.

Of course, Xu Muhe would not have this opportunity, and he could not even organize the army before the end of this war.

However, the number of 200,000 is amazing after all. Xu Shiyang ordered the entire army to inform the news, saying that 200,000 reinforcements were on the way to the front line. As long as everyone withstands this last time, the next thing would be to pick the fruits of victory.

This is not the truth, but what the frontline soldiers need at this time is not the truth, what they need is the confidence to persevere until the end.

This news can give them this confidence.

...

Just as both sides were desperately gathering their last strength, the night came.

A large number of elite Jin troops took advantage of the moonlight to enter the starting position. This force was mainly Wanyan Xieye's personal troops, and other most elite armored soldiers under Bo Jilie also joined in.

Wanyan Zongbi announced to these people that if they could break through the defense line today, the masters would promise not to hold Wanyan Xie responsible for his death.

But if they cannot win, they can all die in Qingzhou's position.

During the day, this suicide squad's power gains exquisite and ample food and a whole day of rest.

They bear the final expectations of the Jin army for victory.

In the last period before the general attack began, Wanyan Zongbi arrived at the front line in person, and he shouted to his chest again:

"Xu Shiyang, are you still here? I am Wanyan Zongbi!"

"Haha, you haven't left yet." Xu Shiyang answered with a loudspeaker: "Isn't giving up yet, right? It's really a group of wolves! If you don't kill you all, you will always wander at my doorstep!"

"Xu Shiyang, it's useless to say this now." Wanyan Zongbi hid in the trench and said loudly: "You should understand, it's still unknown who will win now! Maybe I will get the head of your neck tomorrow morning!"

"How about it, are you thinking about it? As long as you negotiate with me, you will not be in danger! And I guarantee that you will be a king in Qi Province! Jin Qi can form a brotherly alliance! If you are willing in the future, you can join forces with me to attack Jiangnan, and the population, land and wealth you have obtained can be divided in half!"

Wanyan Zongbi began to make a lot of promises.

Of course he knew that persuading surrender was useless, but he came anyway.

The reason is very simple. First, today's so-called night attack can only be limited to a few hundred meters long area of ​​chest wall, and there is no suddenness at all. Therefore, he, Bo Jilie, needed to come forward to do some cover in person.

Second, he wanted to determine whether Xu Shiyang was still behind this chest wall.

All Bo Jilie agreed that if he could be killed, there would be a chance of victory this time.

Now all his goals have been achieved.

"Wanyan Zongbi, listen, I am a noble family in China. How can I call you a brother and brother to you, a barbarian? If you are smart, surrender now. If you can take the head of the chief Wanyan Wu Qi, you will be able to surround your life!"

Xu Shiyang was still shouting behind the chest wall opposite:

"By the way, tell the robbers and pawns who are following you! If you don't surrender now, when the general's army goes to Liaodong, you will all die without a burial place!"

"Hmph, arrogant." Wanyan Zongbi sneered.

The Jurchen erect waved his hand violently and ordered coldly:

"Go and kill him!"

With his orders, the desolate conch horn suddenly sounded in the darkness, and countless armored soldiers rushed out of the darkness, howling and rushed towards the Qingzhou Army position ten meters away through several traffic trenches that were aimed straight at the chest wall!

"Hahaha!" Xu Shiyang was not surprised but happy. He held the loudspeaker and laughed wildly at the enemy surging in the dark: "The thief is a thief! Even if he is called a lonely person, he is only a monkey! It turns out that he has no credibility!"

"You are here just in time! See how I will kill you all!"

boom!

With his voice, a strange cannon that had already pointed at the exit of the traffic trench fired the first shot of the decisive battle.

This is a "new weapon" designed by Qingzhou Second Arsenal, where Dai Zi was the director. In fact, it is a thick and short iron pipe with no cannon stand, so the total weight is very light and it is very easy to mobilize.

The barrel of this gun is so thin that it is scary, but the caliber is so big that no one dares to use this kind of "cannon" to fire solid bullets, but there is no problem in firing shotguns with half a pack of gunpowder.

Moreover, this gun can fire shotguns weighing more than 60 kilograms at one time!

It was just because of the charge amount that the range of this gun was much closer than that of real field guns with shotguns, and it could even be fired within the range of the Tartars' heavy arrows.

After all, this is essentially a wooden cannon made of metal...

Therefore, this gun was not mass-produced, and only two were trial-made in the arsenal, one of which had been exploded during live-fire training.
Chapter completed!
