Once surrounded by the enemy's main force, it will be dangerous.
Zhang Yi leaned over and caressed Jueying. It was covered in the enemy's blood and was breathing rapidly. It looked excited and happy.
Yes, the moods of humans and horses are in sync.
Zhang Yi looked at the battlefield. Corpses were everywhere, criss-crossing and stacked on top of each other. In this battle, more than 10,000 enemy invaders were killed, while our troops suffered very few casualties.
He ordered the collection of weapons that could be used by the enemy, especially the Chasik saber, which was very suitable for cavalry. He gathered thousands of intact horses and drove them all to Zhenbeitai.
He searched the battlefield and found the black double-headed eagle flag with gold background, rolled it up and hung it next to the saddle. This trophy could greatly stimulate the enemy and attract them to pursue it.
Subsequently, Zhang Yi led the army to retreat to Zhenbeitai.
…
After winning the first battle, our soldiers cheered excitedly.
Zhang Yi was also very happy, and even drank a bowl of wine with the generals during dinner to relieve his tired body. He gave his best in this battle, and he was much more tired than fighting a guard battle for several days.
He wrote a battle report and sent a horse all the way back to Chang'an.
"...In a battle in the desert, I met the enemy's vanguard of 20,000 people, beheaded the general, handed over the battle flag, and killed 9,000 enemy people..."
Xiao Han, Niu Ben and others who were ambushing in Ziwu Ridge must be extremely happy.
Xiaolong and others who are guarding Chang'an, as well as his beloved wife Xiaoliu, will definitely be very happy.
The significance of this battle is to find out the reality of the enemy. The arrogant Tsarist Empire is nothing more than mediocrity. They brag that they have millions of troops to conquer forty-six countries, so what? If they dare to invade China, they will be killed.
Don’t stay!
"Yi Ge, oh, Lord Chief Assistant," Shi Gandang always wavered between the two titles. In formal occasions, he must also address the official title.
Zhang Yi looked at him with a smile, and the generals on the side also smiled, knowing that the Six Tigers of China were brothers in life and death.
At this moment, the generals looked up to Zhang Yi and respected him like a god. In just a few hours from the time of the expedition to the time he returned to Zhenbeitai, the chief assistant achieved a great victory. He fought with 10,000 people against 20,000 people and annihilated half of the opponent's troops. This achievement was astonishing.
Even General Liu Guangda couldn't do it.
Who said the chief assistant is timid?
In fact, he has the courage of young people to take risks, just like Huo Qubing, the God of War, who fought thousands of miles away and who else would he be?
However, the Chief Assistant is mature and wise beyond his years, and his goals are very big. From then on, the generals have no doubts, and they fight when they are told and run when they are told.
Yes, the prestige of a commander-in-chief is demonstrated, not spoken.
King Liu Kai was like this. He built a kingdom from scratch and always mounted his horse and charged in person every time there was a war. Only then did he win the loyalty and love of his soldiers.
"Your Majesty has such a good eye!"
One of the generals suddenly sighed, and everyone nodded in agreement. The king was very discerning and "invited" Yi, the leader of Mopan City, to Chang'an at any cost, made him his son-in-law, and gave him a jade seal. Facts have proved that only Zhang Yi can be his successor.
.
Hearing these words, Zhang Yi's heart welled up with sadness again, but he tried his best to control himself and not let anyone see it. He looked forward to the fast horse arriving in Chang'an as soon as possible. When Xiao Liu learned that he had won the first battle, he would definitely complain to his father, queen and mother.
The spirit in heaven.
"Sworn brother?" Shi Gandang noticed his brother's change in mood and called out.
"Oh," Zhang Yi came back to his senses and said, "I was thinking that we must destroy all enemies in order to be worthy of the king's love for us."
All the generals nodded.
"I think the Tsar and Wu Rui will arrive at Zhenbeitai tomorrow," Zhang Yi raised his voice and said, "This battle will definitely make them angry. We will try our best to resist for a day or two and let the enemy mobilize more legions to attack Zhenbeitai.
, and then we retreat as planned."
"Yes, follow the arrangements of Lord Chief Assistant!"
"Let the enemy attack us. We have strong defenses and can kill many bears!"
"The stronger our resistance, the more the enemy will be fooled, and then they will unknowingly walk into the trap of Lord Chief Assistant!"
"Sir Shofu is not an ordinary hunter. How can a giant snake be caught by ordinary people?"
"That's right, that's right, hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
The atmosphere was quite good, and the generals were full of optimism and strong fighting spirit.
Zhang Yi smiled and nodded, his eyes firm.
…
At noon the next day, the soldiers were busy carrying various defensive equipment to the city wall. They were piled up everywhere, enough for the enemy to drink a pot.
At this time, Zhang Yi, who was watching from the high platform, discovered that the enemy troops had arrived.
On the desert, a huge army emerged, spanning more than ten miles, overwhelming the sky and the end, with no end in sight.
Countless flags, cloaks of various colors, and gleaming armor and weapons looked dizzying.
The sound of horses' hooves trampling on the ground was like an earthquake, and the earth seemed to be shaking.
The dust and mist rose several feet high, and enemy soldiers and horses appeared in it. There were many demonic shadows, as if they were an army from hell.
"There are so many people here, Brother Yi. I see there are at least a dozen colors of cloaks. Oh my god, where did they find all these paints?" Shi Gandang looked through the telescope and said in surprise.
Zhang Yi couldn't help laughing and slapped the little fat man on the shoulder.
The enemy is huge and appears to be no less than 200,000 men. Together with the other six groups of troops, the total strength is estimated to be more than 300,000.
Although there were not the 500,000 people they boasted, it was still amazing enough.
From a long distance away, the turbid smell rushed towards my face, and the smell of blood was suffocating.
Those guys loved to eat raw meat, and some of them immediately hung bloody lamb legs, cutting them with sharp knives and putting them in their mouths as they walked. Others were drunk, holding leather wine bags in their hands, riding on horseback.
Shaky.
Just as Zhang Yi expected, this was not a united army, but a huge and complex army composed of various ethnic groups and tribes, without organization or discipline.
But it cannot be denied that most of them are barbarians, rough, fierce and bloodthirsty, and they go around conquering to satisfy their desire for plunder.
Zhang Yi used a telescope to observe carefully. Finally, he saw a group of well-armored cavalry troops walking out of the dust and fog. Their combat effectiveness was obviously higher than the others. They were the Tsar's Guards.
Then, he saw Wu Rui.
A long and thin face, a pair of bloodshot round eyes, full of hatred.
He wore a golden silk robe with dragons embroidered on it. He wore a golden crown on his head, woven from gold wire, with a huge pearl inlaid on the top. Two golden dragons looked up at the pearl.
The man next to Wu Rui was his son Wu Liang, staring with a pair of cunning eagle eyes and a proud expression on his face.
This pair of dog father and son, who betrayed their country and sought glory, did not hesitate to introduce wild beasts from extremely cold places into China, leading them to ravage our magnificent mountains and rivers, and slaughter our kind people, making people hate them to the core!
