Chapter 904: Chapter 745: The Iron Cavalry’s Swan Song (Seeking Monthly Votes and Subscriptions)

"Is that Dasiming?"

When Meng Wu’s outpost was twenty li from Podi Mountain, Shaofu Yu Jie sensed the presence of Dasiming from the opposing army’s formation.

He squinted his eyes and let out a cold laugh, "This woman has some courage! She dares to come indeed."

Had the woman disregarded Xi’an City? Did they think that Master Zhongliu in Shaanxi was dead?

Thinking of Master Zhongliu, Shaofu Yu Jie felt disgusted again.

He was still troubled by the battle in Capital City two years ago.

However, the current situation indeed required the help of Master Zhongliu.

"Master Zhongliu has already tried, Dasiming has left Guo Jing in Shaanxi, and her disciple, lord of Zimei Palace Wenshifei, holds the ’Qianqiu Brush,’ ensuring a temporary peace in Xi’an City."

Li Xuan’s expression was indifferent, revealing a meaningful smile at the corner of his lips, "Still, I must say, her coming to this battle at Podi Mountain is quite reckless. Later, Shaofu might have to take care of her. If possible, try to keep this woman here."

Shaofu Yu Jie looked doubtful but nodded abruptly, "Jinque Palace is a scourge to the world, already a major concern for our Dynasty. Even if County Prince Fenyang didn’t mention it, I would give my all to eradicate it! Such a source of chaos in the world should be eradicated sooner rather than later."

Despite his focus on Dasiming, he was now more concerned about the outcome of this ’Battle at Podi Mountain.’

Yu Jie looked far into the distance and noticed that the Datan, although assembled a huge cavalry of up to four hundred and ninety thousand in the central area, had formed an array about twelve li wide and fourteen ranks deep in a goose-wing formation.

Yet, the elite Qiexue army of the Datan and Shiwei people were concentrated on both flanks by Yexian.

Standing nearby, Shang Hong’s gaze conveyed understanding, returning with a scoff of cold laughter, "Indeed, just as His Highness and Shaofu anticipated."

Yu Jie and Li Xuan had judged that the Meng Wu’s strategy was to restrain the center, pressuring Jin Army’s infantry, while flanking on both sides to heavily attack Jin Dynasty’s cavalry wings, cutting off Jin Army’s flanks.

Now, seeing the enemy’s formation, Shang Hong thought it was exactly as expected.

The Mongwu Khan had clearly also gained a detailed understanding of the Jin Army’s combat tactics.

Their cavalry halted at a distance of five li from the Jin Army, and did not advance further.

Although Jin Army’s field smooth-bore cannons had a range of up to ten li, at this five li position, Meng Wu’s numerous powerful Wu cultivators were sufficient to counter Jin Army’s artillery fire.

At this moment, the combined martial intention and momentum of their nine hundred and thirty thousand warriors were nothing to scoff at.

When Li Xuan activated his "Tao-protecting Eyes," he could see in the sky above Meng Wu’s army formation a towering pillar of blood, around which eight massive Black Dragons coiled.

The boiling prairie Dragon Qi was almost entirely concentrated there, overpowering the Jin Army from afar.

Li Xuan thought this was the essence of the prairie Dragon Qi, he slightly shook his head, then decisively commanded, "Pass this prince’s order, command all troops to proceed with the preset battle strategy, advance the whole army!"

His battle tactic was, breakthrough on both wings, overwhelming push by the central army!

Following Li Xuan’s words, a desolate sound of horns suddenly echoed through Podi Mountain, along with the ten drum carts of the central army, which began to beat the war drums together.

At that moment, Shenji Camp’s ten battalions of one hundred and ten thousand men, ten battalions of four full firearm battalions totaling forty-five thousand men, plus a hundred thousand auxiliary troops holding modified muskets, arranged into five hundred and ten line formations each consisting of five hundred men, advanced forward following the rhythm of the drum beats.

On both flanks of the Jin Army, there were a total of one hundred and seventy thousand cavalrymen. They adopted a broad goose-wing formation on the wings of the Jin Army, spurring their horses’ hooves at the same time.

At this moment, the foot of Podi Mountain thundered resoundingly, as if a great mountain was shaking.

"Still as mountains, flowing like rivers!"

In the Meng Wu’s army formation, Yecian Chrolus first praised the elite of the Jin Army, then his eyes showed a puzzled expression.

He wondered what County Prince Fenyang intended by suddenly pressing the whole army forward.

"Khan!" Alachien advised, "No matter what the Jin Army intends, our army’s principle remains unchanged."

Yecian Chrolus immediately tightened his mind, then started laughing, "Ala, you’re right."

Ala was the name of his trusted general, transliterated in Chinese, it could also be called Alat, and ’Chancellor’ was just Ala’s official title, also referred to as Chancellor Ala or Chancellor Ala.

This man was actually of Chinese descent, formerly during the Hui Emperor of Yuan, appointed Han figures like Li Siqi, Zhang Sidao, He Zongzhe, Kong Xing to suppress the numerous righteous armies at the end of Yuan.

After the fall of Great Yuan, these Han nobles followed the Emperor back to the prairie, ultimately forming the present Batute Clan.

Interestingly, Prince Hejian Huangfu Yu, Prince Dingxing Huangfu Shenji, were also once members of the Batute Clan.

Huangfu Yu had once risen to ’Chancellor’
