Xu Jie struggled in his eyes, he knew that he was ashamed today, and he was an adult, he wanted to stick to staying and save his reputation, but his eyes met Luo Xin's cold gaze.

"Brother Lu Qing!" Luo Xin said lightly, "I'm sorry to trouble you! Once the morale of the army is shaken, you know the consequences."

Xu Luqing was also trembling slightly at this time, but she has been with Luo Xin these days, but she was influenced by Luo Xin.Seeing that Luo Xin was very calm at this time, he felt a little more relaxed. He came to Xu Jie, supported Xu Jie's arm, and said in a low voice:
"Father……"

"I don't need your help!" Xu Jie shouted, "I'm just standing here..."

"Come on!" Luo Xin's heart had become impatient, the prairie coalition army below was rumbling, and Xu Jie was still playing his temper here.

"Invite Mr. Xu Ge down!"

Admiral Zhang of the Fifth Army Battalion had long been displeased with Xu Jie. Seeing that he had affected the morale of the army, he was even more disgusted in his heart. Hearing Luo Xin's order, he walked towards Xu Jie himself.Xu Jie saw determination in Luo Xin's eyes, knowing that if he persisted, Luo Xin would really drive him away, and that would be even more embarrassing, so he shook his sleeves fiercely, and strode towards the city.

Luo Xin glanced at the prairie coalition forces outside the city. He was familiar with history and knew the habits of prairie people attacking cities.Although they came straight to the city wall, they didn't intend to attack the city.It's just to intimidate the Ming soldiers and boost the morale of the grassland.

"Order, everyone lies on the ground and puts their shields on their bodies! Only the first row of soldiers is left to stand and watch the enemy."

"Lord Luo!" Admiral Zhang, who understood Grassland's tricks, said worriedly, "What if Grassland attacks directly?"

"If that's the case, the soldiers in the first row can put down the barbed wire first, and there will be enough time for everyone to take their positions."

Speaking of this, he lowered his voice and said, "Don't let more soldiers see the cavalry on the grassland, and you can also maintain their momentum."

Admiral Zhang nodded when he heard this, and glanced at the barbed wire. Although he had sent someone to test the power of the barbed wire, he was still a little worried about whether the barbed wire could withstand the attack of the grassland coalition forces.

At this time, all the soldiers chose a place to hide, and then lay down on the ground, protecting their shields. Only the first row of soldiers stood at the city wall with their weapons in their hands, and looked towards the grassland coalition forces outside the city.

"Master Luo, please go to the back to command!" Admiral Zhang said politely, in fact, he asked Luo Xin to hide behind.

Hearing this, Luo Xin laughed and said, "I've fought many field battles with the prairie people, there's no need for that. Back then Huang Taiji fled in front of me in a hurry, so I want to see what kind of face he has this time?"

The soldier who was originally pale, was refreshed when he heard Luo Xin's words, the fear in his eyes was much less, and he was more confident.

"The ballista is ready!" Luo Xin continued to issue orders.

The ballista had already loaded the iron spear, and at this time, under the operation of the soldiers, it aimed at the prairie coalition forces below the city wall.

"No order, no arrows allowed!"

Luo Xin gave the order again, because he knew very well that with the morale of the soldiers in front of him, if he was forced by the morale of the prairie cavalry after a while, even if he shot an arrow, he might not be accurate at all, and would not hurt a few prairie coalition troops. , On the contrary, it will make the morale of the Ming soldiers even more depressed. It is better not to release the arrows, but to release the ballista at that time to improve the morale.

With a rumbling sound, the prairie coalition army had rushed into the land within a stone's throw of the city wall, and then saw the steel torrent of the prairie coalition army, like two dragons emerging from the water, separating towards the two sides, galloping parallel to the city wall, which gave people an instant The feeling of being surrounded by the capital.

Admiral Zhang moved his lips, his mood was almost out of balance, and he called out the word "shoot the arrow". Fortunately, he still remembered Luo Xin's order, so he looked at Luo Xin, but saw Luo Xin's expression was calm. Looking intently at the prairie cavalry outside the city wall, there was even a hint of sarcasm in the corner of his mouth.A trace of shame appeared in Admiral Zhang's heart, and he looked at the soldiers around him again, feeling even more ashamed in his heart.

When he saw the soldiers around him, their faces turned extremely pale, and their eyes showed fear. He can guarantee that even if he gave the order to "shoot the arrows" just now, not many people would react, even if they responded The soldiers who come over will not have any accuracy, and they will not be able to hurt the grassland coalition forces at that time, and the ridicule of the grassland coalition forces will only further weaken the morale of the Ming soldiers.

In fact, he also knew in his heart that the prairie coalition army was exhausted from the journey, and it was impossible to attack the city as soon as they came up, but he had to admit in his heart that the prairie coalition army only put on an offensive posture, which put a lot of pressure on the soldiers of Ming Dynasty.

Outside the city wall, the prairie cavalry were galloping non-stop. Every prairie cavalry laughed loudly from time to time, extremely arrogant. Standing on the city, Luo Xin glanced at the Ming soldiers, and his heart sank. He could feel their morale. is going down.Looking back at those soldiers who were hiding on the ground, he didn't see much fear on their faces, which made Luo Xin feel a little relaxed.

Admiral Li, who was standing on the right side of Luo Xin, said in a tense voice, "Lord Luo, the first battle is extremely important. It will be a blow to our morale to let the grassland coalition forces be so arrogant."

"Never mind!" Luo Xin shook his head lightly and said, "This official is free to restore morale."

Admiral Zhang saw that his suggestion was rejected by Luo Xin, he didn't feel any resentment in his heart, instead he was curious, he was wondering what good solution Luo Xin would have.

He has seen the last battle where Alatan Khan attacked the capital. Alatan Khan was like Huang Taiji. When he first arrived in the capital, he assumed the posture of attacking the capital. Under the circumstances, the bow was not fully opened, and the arrows shot were light and fluttering. Not to mention that many of them missed the prairie cavalry, even if they were shot at the prairie coalition army, they lost their strength and did not hurt the prairie cavalry at all. The ridicule of the grassland coalition forces made the morale of the Ming soldiers even lower.Later, more than 500 people were shot to death by the grassland coalition forces, because the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were not like this time, and they were asked by Luo Xin to evade and protect them in advance.

Inside the city gate.

The eight thousand cavalry of the Shenshu Battalion were silent, and Admiral Yu stood at the front on horseback.At this time, they couldn't see the prairie coalition forces outside the city, but they could hear the rumbling cries outside the city gate and the arrogant laughter of the prairie coalition forces.
