The cold north wind swept across the battlefield as Luo Quan, aboard the hot air balloon, took in the entire scene below.
The signal officer continuously sent flag signals, communicating with the Qingzhou army inside Fencheng. Once they confirmed that Niu Ben would launch an attack on the west gate, Luo Quan made his move—he would launch a fierce assault on the north gate to draw the barbarians’ main forces there.
“Advance!”
With a single command, the entire formation of the Jinwu Guards began to push forward. Their thunderous footsteps echoed across the battlefield.
Based on the barbarian cavalry’s formation, Luo Quan deployed a matching counter-formation.
The barbarians had clearly concentrated their strongest troops in the center. Their goal was to break through with overwhelming force, then use flanking cavalry to encircle the enemy.
To counter this, Luo Quan positioned two groups of 10,000 cavalry on both flanks to guard his sides, while putting the Qingzhou army in the center. As a precaution, he also added 10,000 cavalry behind them as reinforcement.
On the barbarian side, 60,000 cavalry and 60,000 slave soldiers had assembled.
Because they had to defend against possible attacks from both the Jizhou army and the Qingzhou troops in Fencheng, Beishan had pulled back some troops for defense.
As soon as the Jinwu Guards began moving, the barbarian army also advanced.
