Chapter 661 This is not the end of the battle, but the beginning of trouble!
The army advanced, taking advantage of the darkness.
Ying Gao has lost patience with the Da Yuezhi and continuing to delay will do more harm than good to Da Qin.
Before, he had been waiting for the reward, hoping to motivate the soldiers of the three armies. Now that the reward has arrived, it is the time when the army is full of momentum and shows its sharpness.
Ying Gao's evaluation of King Dayuezhi is getting lower and lower. This man seems to be ambitious, but he has high ambitions and low abilities.
When there is no pressure, there will naturally be no problems and you will look majestic and virtuous. Once huge pressure suddenly comes upon you, you will panic.
This can be seen from the fact that King Dayuezhi mobilized 1.5 million young people at once, regardless of gender, to form an army in an attempt to scare him away.
Under extreme pressure, at a time of life and death, this person simply cannot control himself. Although such a person can become the king of a country, he needs to move forward indomitably.
But who can always win in life?
Even the First Emperor did not have smooth sailing, but experienced too many ups and downs in his youth.
There are even some things that cannot be told to others at all.
Only when an emperor bears enough pressure can he gradually grow up and eventually become a wise master.
Setbacks are extremely important to an emperor.
Judging from the news Ying Gao received, the first half of his life, before meeting Ying Gao, was too smooth for Wang Wenkai of the Dayue clan.
As a result, he encountered constant defeats and became unsteady.
At this time, Ying Gao felt somewhat contemptuous of King Dayuezhi.
After all, if you can't even bear such a failure, how can you come back from the bottom and become king of the world again?
…
"General Ying, the scouts have sent word that the Da Yuezhi army in Lehuan is setting up defenses..." Tie Ying hurriedly walked in, his face a little solemn.
Hearing this, Ying Gao looked solemn, and his whole person suddenly became silent. He knew in his heart that the Da Yuezhi army was probably getting the news.
Thoughts flashed in his mind, and after a while, Ying Gao turned to Tie Ying and said, "It seems that King Dayuezhi has received news about our army and is ordering the generals to be careful!"
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Tie Ying hurriedly left.
Watching Tie Ying leave, Ying Gao's expression changed drastically. He knew in his heart that King Dayuezhi must have noticed some clues or predicted it.
Riding on a war horse, Ying Gao's eyes flashed with a flash of cold murderous intent: "It seems that there are extremely wise men among this great Yuezhi, but it's a pity that I am the winner of this battle!"
…
The army goes out at night and hides during the day.
Three days later, Ying Gao appeared in the Lehuan tribe. Ying Gao didn't notice King Dayuezhi's arrangements at all.
He knew in his heart that the Wansheng Army, Long Live Army, Python Army, and Servant Army plus the combat power of the Great Qin warriors were enough to defeat the Great Yuezhi army head-on.
Although the army of more than 1.5 million was huge in number, he only needed to defeat 300,000 to 400,000 cavalry. How could the remaining infantry be a match for the Qin warriors?
Ying Gao remembers a war. In the later Song Dynasty, during the Battle of Gaoliang River, Brother Yelvxiu made a surprise attack with 3,000 cavalry and annihilated the 100,000 Song army.
Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty was injured by an arrow and fled back to Kaifeng in a donkey cart. He regarded it as a great shame and humiliation, and could not avenge him for the rest of his life.
Due to the disparity in combat power between the cavalry and the infantry, Ying Gao's move was not to completely defeat the Dayue clan's elite force, but to overwhelm them with force.
He wanted to promote the writing of the Qin Dynasty among the Yueshi, so as to lay the foundation for his future western expedition.
…
"General Ying, there is the Da Yuezhi camp fifty miles ahead. Should our army attack immediately?" Tie Ying walked into the shogunate and said to Ying Gao.
Hearing this, Ying Gao took a sip of tea and ordered to Tie Ying, "Tie Ying is looking for a dead soldier to go to the Da Yuezhi camp and write a letter of war on my behalf!"
"General Ying, our army is advancing secretly. Now that the Great Yuezhi army is so close, it will be exposed instead?"
At this moment, Tie Ying was very puzzled. In his opinion, since the army had secretly advanced here, it should have taken them by surprise.
With 450,000 Qin cavalry, they powerfully defeated the Great Yuezhi army. Only in this way can they establish a great power in the northwest.
Only the strong can make the enemy surrender!
"An army of more than one million is too large in number. Once our army falls into it, we will suffer heavy losses!"
Ying Gao put down the tea cup in his hand and said word by word to Tie Ying: "What's more, the Da Yuezhi general has other uses. Once this large army is defeated, it will not be conducive to later deployment."
"Even if King Dayuezhi leaves the northwest, he will not be able to gain a foothold in the Western Regions!"
"What's more, subduing the enemy's troops without fighting is the real mastery!"
Having said this, Ying Gao glanced at Tie Ying, smiled, and said: "Sometimes, the enemy is also your help!"
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Tie Ying turned around and left. Although he agreed, he still did not understand Ying Gao's intention.
It's just that he is just a military commander, and there are some things that he cannot think about and worry about.
Watching Tie Ying leave, Ying Gao turned to Sima, the central army, and said: "Instruct the three armies not to hide their traces, but to create a momentum."
"Tell King Dayuezhi openly and honestly that I am coming!"
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Sima of the Chinese army left. At this time, Ma Xing hesitated for a moment and said to Ying Gao.
"General Ying, what will happen if the King of the Dayue clan doesn't agree?"
Hearing this, Ying Gao drank the tea in the teacup in one gulp, and then said in a cold voice: "I have come to this point, with nearly half a million cavalry in hand. Does King Dayuezhi have the final say?"
“It’s up to me to say so!”
At this moment, Ying Gao was extremely confident, because he knew that he was the most powerful force in the entire northwest.
In the wilderness, cavalry is the most powerful.
Even Da Yuezhi is far inferior!
Nowadays, the Da Yueshi have lost their troops and lost their territory. They are no longer as powerful as before. What qualifications do they have to say no to Ying Gao who is at the height of his power?
"General Ying, is this the final battle?" After a while, Ma Xing put down the bamboo slips in his hand and said to Ying Gao.
"This is not the end of the war. After the Great Yueshi fade away, Ben will reorganize the northwest and sort out the major foreign races. At the same time, Ben will become the overlord of the northwest and the Western Regions."
"This battle is over and the Da Yueshi have retreated. The most troublesome things have just come one by one. Instead, this general will be trapped in a quagmire and difficult to leave."
Ma Xing frowned and couldn't help but look at Ying Gao and said, "After this battle, won't General Ying go south immediately?"
In Ma Xing's view, time is running out, and Ying Gao should immediately go south, capture the entire southernmost region, and then return to Xianyang.
Unexpectedly, Ying Gao would continue to stay in the northwest.
