Three days later, before dawn, the Dawan army started to light a fire to cook.
In order to win this battle, the King of Dayuan specially sent a large number of cattle and sheep from the country, and promised the soldiers that as long as they could defeat the Zhao army, everyone would be rewarded.
For a time, the morale of the Dawan army rose sharply.
After eating and drinking, the 30,000 Dawan troops, led by General Wolf, marched toward the battlefield with murderous intent, vowing to avenge their disgrace and kill all the invading Zhao troops.
However, when the Dawan Army arrived at the place agreed with Zhao Jun and looked at the empty battlefield, everyone was stunned. Did they remember the time wrong? Or... Zhao Jun knew that he could not defeat him, so he ran away in advance.
?
"Maybe Zhao Jun got up late and hasn't arrived yet. Let's wait a little longer," Woolf said with a smile.
"I think the Zhao army was too frightened by our army to fight, so they could only hide in the camp." Lai Yongxue shook the big ax in his hand and laughed.
"In my opinion, Zhao Jun might have been scared away long ago."
The soldiers behind him all agreed, as if Zhao Jun had been trampled under his feet.
After half an hour, Zhao Jun was still nowhere to be seen, and noisy sounds began to appear in the Dawan army.
An hour later, the Dawan Army's formation gradually became scattered.
Wolf couldn't bear it anymore and said to the soldiers beside him: "Go and see what's going on with Zhao Jun."
…
In Zhao Jun's camp, Meng Wu and Mao Sui were having breakfast, but Mao Sui was using a bowl and Meng Wu was using a basin. The aroma of rice porridge was filled everywhere in the camp.
"Report, the Dawan Army sent an envoy to ask for an audience with the general." At this time, a guard came in from outside and reported the report with clasped fists.
"Let him in." Meng Wu said without raising his head.
Soon, the Dawan envoy entered the camp and saw Meng Wu and Mao Sui who were eating. He was stunned. All the questions were blocked in his mouth, and he could not say a word.
"Has the envoy had breakfast? If not, sit down and eat." Meng Wu motioned to the Dawan envoy to sit wherever he wanted, then waved to the outside and said, "Prepare a pair of bowls and chopsticks for the Dawan envoy."
"No, no need, I've already eaten." The Dawan envoy waved his hand quickly and asked cautiously, "May I ask the general, is it true that the two armies agreed to fight today three days ago?"
"It's true." Meng Wu put down the big basin for eating, wiped the corners of his mouth with a towel, and looked at the Dawan envoy.
"Then why did our army not see your army after arriving at the agreed place?" the Dawan envoy said.
"...We are eating. Only when we are full can we have the strength to fight." Meng Wu pointed with his chin at the big basin for eating and Mao Sui, who was still eating. Then he seemed to suddenly think of something and looked at it in surprise.
Dawan envoy: "You are not already on the battlefield, are you?"
"We have been waiting for your army on the battlefield for an hour." The envoy from Dawan gradually became irritated, and his anger had nowhere to vent.
If someone is going to fight, instead of preparing in advance, rushing to the battlefield as soon as possible, and seizing favorable terrain, it is better to wait for work.
How could anyone be like Zhao Jun, who was still eating breakfast leisurely even though the sun was beating down on his buttocks?
Are you here to fight or travel?
"You made a fire to cook before dawn?" Meng Wu said, pretending to be surprised.
"Exactly." The Dawan envoy said solemnly.
"Sorry, I'm extremely sorry. We really didn't expect that your army would arrive on the battlefield so early. Please wait a moment. After we have a full meal, we will rush to the battlefield immediately." Meng Wu bowed and said apologetically.
The generals of the first army saluted and apologized, and the Dawan envoy could not say anything. He could only tell Zhao Jun to hurry up, and then went back to report.
"What choice does the military advisor think the Dawan army will make?" Meng Wu watched the Dawan envoy leave the camp and looked back at Mao Sui.
"The smartest thing to do is to return to the army immediately, then declare victory and wait for our army to attack the city. The stupidest thing to do is to stand still and wait." Mao Sui said with a smile, "But Dawan's hatred for our Zhao country must be used
Only a real victory can wash away the situation, so the possibility of returning to the army is unlikely."
"After this battle, Dawan will probably hate me to death." Meng Wu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Actually... even if our army doesn't do this, Dawan will hate the general after victory." Mao Sui put down his bowl and said seriously to Meng Wu, "Although our army is elite, it has to travel a long distance after all, and there is only one battle.
There can be no mistakes in our strength, and we must do everything possible to ensure victory. I hope the general can understand."
"I understand, the overall situation is the most important thing." Meng Wu nodded.
After the Dawan envoy returned, he reported the situation to Wulf. After hearing this, Wulf laughed loudly and said to everyone: "Since Zhao Jun is still eating, let's wait a little longer!"
Time passed by the fingertips bit by bit, and soon, another half an hour passed.
"Why hasn't Zhao Jun come yet? It's taken so long, even two meals have been eaten. Go and have a look." Woolf looked at the soldiers who had just sent Zhao Jun as envoys.
Although the soldier was reluctant, he had to follow the general's order and had no choice but to go to Zhao Jun's camp again.
"Sorry, some of our soldiers don't want to fight and want to go home. General Meng is comforting them. I hope the envoy will forgive me. After he is calmed down, he will definitely go to the battlefield." Mao Sui said to the envoy, and took him far away.
Take a look from afar.
Meng Wu indeed led a group of people to confront another group of people.
Seeing this, the envoy had nothing to say and could only go back and report to Wolfe.
After hearing this, Woolf was a little impatient, but he was still very happy. The civil strife in the Zhao army was a good thing for them, and they might be able to win easily.
The Dawan Army continued to wait, with the dazzling sunlight shining on them, making people feel a little drowsy, until at a certain moment, the rapid sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance.
Dawanjun quickly opened his eyes and concentrated. Although his vision was a little blurred due to the long period of sunlight, the impact was not significant.
"The Zhao army is here, prepare to fight!" Wolf said in a deep voice, commanding the cavalry on both wings to attack the Zhao army through the command flag, intending to seize the opportunity while the Zhao army was not yet stable.
However, Zhao Jun is far more sinister than he imagined.
After arriving at the battlefield, Zhao Jun not only did not slow down at all, but rushed towards the Dawan Army at a faster speed.
The Dawan army had been exposed to the sun all morning, but Zhao Jun had been recuperating his energy. Even if it was not midsummer, it would be impossible to feel better after being exposed to the sun for such a long time. It was hard to say whether he would be able to regain his energy.
And although it was already noon, the sun was still eastward.
The Dawan Army is located in the west, facing east, and the sun just shines into the eyes of the Dawan Army, interfering with the Dawan Army's sight.
This is also the reason why Mao Sui chose this time to launch the attack. Although after a while, the morale of the Dawan Army will be lower and their stomachs will gradually become hungry, but after the sun turns west, it will in turn affect the forces east of the battlefield.
Zhao Jun.
Even though he was facing a small country like Dawan, and even though the Zhao army had a military spirit army like Zhao Feiqi, Mao Sui still did not look down upon it.
Sometimes, the direction of a war is determined by details.
As a strategist, he must move the scale of victory closer to Zhao Jun as much as possible.
"All officers and men in the army, charge with me!" Meng Wu roared to the sky, rushing towards the Dawan Army at the head of the army, without leaving any reserve troops.
The whole army is pressing forward!
The war clouds covering the sky instantly turned into a huge crescent moon, crushing the Dawan army like a speeding chariot.
"Kill!"
Yan Ju led Zhao Feiqi to rush towards the Dawan Army cavalry. Huge wings of light extended from both sides, and gorgeous figures rose into the sky, appearing above the Dawan Army like heavenly soldiers and generals.
Zhao Feiqi was standing high, and dense arrows shot out from his hands, falling into the Dawan army formation like raindrops. As the explosions continued to sound, a large area of the Dawan army below was cleared in a few breaths.
At this moment, the Dawan army was confused.
Zhao Jun can fly! How can we fight?
Wolf was even more furious. He grabbed the soldiers next to him and yelled angrily: "Is this the Zhao army you said is fighting among themselves because they are afraid of war? Tell me, these Zhao soldiers look like they are afraid of war?"
"..." If he hadn't been concerned about the other party's identity, the soldier would have yelled loudly. I reported everything I saw and didn't lie about the military situation. It was your grandma's incompetence and failure to analyze correctly. Now you are blaming me?
"General, calm down. Our army still has hope of victory. Although Zhao Jun can fly, we can shoot them down with bows and arrows." Hongfu, who joined the army, said quickly.
"All archers are ready, aim at Zhao Jun's flying legion, and clean it with arrows." Wolf threw the soldiers to the ground and ordered angrily.
"hehe!"
Yan Ju saw all the Dawan archers heading in his direction, and immediately understood the Dawan Army's plan. He grinned, did the Dawan Army plan to play with Zhao Feiqi in a shooting match?
I, Zhao Feiqi, am condescending, don’t say that I bully you!
The sound of dense bowstrings resounded in the mid-air, and Zhao Feiqi attacked from behind. Before the arrows in the hands of the Dawan archers were shot, they were already enveloped in a rain of arrows that covered the sky and the sun.
Zhao Feiqi's attack was accompanied by an explosion, which these fragile archers could not withstand.
In just one wave of arrows, one-third of the Dawan archers were lost.
Yan Ju immediately led Zhao Feiqi to swoop down, waving the scimitar in his hand, like a tiger rushing into a pack of wolves. Wherever he passed, the enemy troops continued to fall like wheat.
Looking at the archer who died tragically behind him, Wulf's eyes instantly burst with anger, and he led his bodyguard to rush towards Yan Ju.
"Extraordinary realm!" Yan Ju's eyes flashed with surprise. The general of the Dawan Army was actually a little stronger than him.
It's a pity that apart from force, everything else is in a mess. He can't even command a 30,000-strong army. At best, he is just a general.
"Go to hell." Woolf's eyes were bloodshot, his hair stood on end, and wisps of black and red inner energy rushed out of his body. He kept slashing at Yan Ju with his knife, frantically venting his power.
"If I can't even defeat you in my military spirit state, I will take your surname!" Yan Ju said disdainfully, quickly swung the scimitar in his hand a few times, knocked Wulf back, and attacked even more fiercely.
In just a few moves, several small scars appeared on Woolf's body.
The remaining military soul power made the wound unable to heal and continued to bleed, and Yan Ju's constant attacks also left Woolf with no extra strength to clear out the remaining military soul power.
Seeing that the general was at a disadvantage, the personal guards rushed over to support him, trying to restore the disadvantage. In the end, they could only be mercilessly killed by Zhao Feiqi.
The gap between the two sides is too big. Even though the strength of Wulf's personal guards is already considered top-notch in Dawan, compared with Zhao Feiqi, who is a member of the Army Soul Legion, it is still a bit unsatisfactory.
Their tenacious resistance is more like moths flying into a flame.
When Yan Ju was suppressing Wolf, Meng Wu had already led the Zhao army to smash the left wing of the Dawan Army to pieces. The Dawan Army, which had been exposed to the sun all morning, was in a daze. Before it could react, Zhao Jun rushed in front of it.
.
Meng Wu wildly waved the horse spear, and the shadow of the fire phoenix was reflected behind him, as if the god of war was alive, crushing the enemies in front of him into pieces.
"Awesome, our army is about to win!" Zhao Liu followed Meng Wu and shouted excitedly while killing the enemy. He was not at all as steady as he was in his forties or fifties.
Lai Yongxue wanted to rush over to block Meng Wu, but Tou Man was tightly entangled.
Not far away from him, Lian An, Yue Qi, and Qiang Yu were like the three sharpest daggers, piercing into the Dawan army and bleeding the army like crazy.
The officers and soldiers of the Dawan Army tried their best to resist, but they were no match for the three of them.
"How many extraordinary realms are there in the Zhao Kingdom! Just one partial army sent out so many!" Lai Yongxue felt a little desperate. There were only three extraordinary realm generals in the entire Dawan Kingdom.
Even so, it is already considered a first-rate power among the countries in the Western Regions.
However, Zhao State only sent a partial army, and the number of top experts was twice that of Dawan.
The Dawan Army only held on for a quarter of an hour. All the left, center and right armies were destroyed by Zhao Jun. The rear army was even cleaned up by Zhao Feiqi, leaving no one left standing.
This terrifying fighting power completely destroyed Dawan's pride and made them deeply aware of the gulf-like gap between the two sides.
"Dawan does have some strength. Even after fighting to this extent, he did not surrender." Mao Sui nodded approvingly. After the armies of the Western Region countries they encountered before were at a disadvantage, their morale began to plummet.
At an absolute disadvantage, he knelt down and surrendered.
Dawan is the only exception. Even though it is at an absolute disadvantage, it is still resisting desperately.
"puff!"
After the two sides fought for nearly a hundred rounds, Touman chopped off Lai Yongxue's head with a knife, held it high and shouted, "Surrender without killing!"
Mao Sui quickly cooperated with Touman and shouted to the Dawan soldiers in Dawan language.
"If the general doesn't want all of you Dawan Army soldiers to die here, then order the surrender." Yan Ju said in a deep voice.
"Alas!" Hongfu sighed deeply and translated Yan Ju's words to Woolf. Seeing Woolf's hesitation, Hongfu persuaded, "Zhao Jun is too powerful. It can be said to be crushed in all directions."
Even if our army persists, it will only increase casualties. I hope the general can think clearly."
"Order, surrender!"
After saying this, Wulf seemed to have been drained of all his strength. He fell off his horse and collapsed on the ground.
"Tie them up!" Yan Ju waved his hand and said.
"Lian An, you and the military advisor will stay and guard these prisoners. The others will follow me to attack Yu Chengcheng." Meng Wu did not waste any time and immediately led his army towards Yu Chengcheng.
