"The strategy remains unchanged. I will send people to prepare to release the water later. But before that, we'd better go meet Han Sui and find a way to trap him by the Wei River. As long as we can delay it until night, the effect of the flood will be
will be even more perfect.
You must know that the reason why we did not camp by the Wei River in the first place is because the terrain next to the Wei River is too low, much lower than the camp of the old Han thief on the other side. Once water attack is used, our losses will definitely be
Bigger than Old Thief Han.
Originally, they were on the other side, and the flood swept across them. At most, they were able to clean up some of the soldiers and horses in the corners. Apart from causing chaos, it actually didn't have much impact on the overall situation. In fact, my original purpose was nothing more than that.
It caused chaos in Han Sui's army and made it easier for us to attack by surprise.
But since Han Sui chose to cross the river and form an array, the act of giving away people's heads has become so obvious. If we don't accept it quickly, it would be a bit sorry!" Guo Jia stood up, his white clothes moving without the wind, his expression cool and unrestrained.
Zi Ruo said, "Lord, instead of thinking so much about everything, we might as well seize the moment. After the enemy army is defeated and Han Sui is captured, everything will be clear!"
"That's right, no matter what kind of stimulation Old Thief Han received, since he has become a big cabbage delivered to your door, don't give up if you don't want it!" Ying Zige slapped his face hard, stood up and looked at Guo Jia and said, "Feng
Xiao, let's go. Since you said it, let's go with Gu Xian to meet the Nine-Meadow Yellow River! We have been fighting for so long, and it seems that we haven't had a good face-to-face communication yet!"
"Let's go!" Guo Jia smiled.
"Lord! Do we really want to destroy all the tools for crossing the river? If we are defeated, we will have no way out!" While Ying Zige and Guo Jia were still guessing Han Sui's condition, Han Sui already looked calm.
After crossing the Wei River, he stood on the bank and looked at the surging Wei River in front of him. He gave the order to the lieutenant beside him to break all the tools for crossing the river. The lieutenant naturally looked at Han Sui with hesitation and asked.
"A way out? Haven't you heard that the overlord of Chu was in ruins? What's more, we have an army of 80,000 to 90,000, and the opponent only has a little over 60,000 at most. The previous defeat was simply because the opponent took advantage of our scattered army and the opportunity for a sneak attack on a rainy night to catch him unprepared.
, leading to our failure.
Now that we have a complete lineup and have spent many days recuperating, as long as we inspire the morale of our soldiers through a last-ditch battle, we can defeat a mere 60,000 enemy troops with just a wave of our hands. What are you afraid of?" Han Sui said coldly.
looked at the deputy general and said.
Although he knew that he was just speaking forcefully, he had to say this, not only to convince the lieutenants and the Qiang people around him who were listening attentively, Qu Shuai, but also to convince himself.
"Sacrifice Gongying. If you win this battle, you will return to the top. If you lose, everything will stop. Ying Zige, let's fight. If you win, Liangzhou will become your foundation to dominate the world. If you lose, you will pay for Gongying's life."
Right!" Han Sui thought silently in his heart.
"Hmph, our army is full of talented people, and the Qiang Qu commanders are extremely brave. He, Ying Zige, is still far from defeating us! Send me an order to smash all boats and other means of crossing the river, completely abandon the retreat, and tell the soldiers,
We will win this battle!"
After giving the explanation, Han Sui ignored any of the civil and military commanders and directly gave the order to the deputy general again.
"No!" After hearing Han Sui's explanation, the deputy general who had never thought about disobeying Han Sui's order naturally bowed respectfully and accepted the order immediately, and then turned around with a solemn expression and gave the order, "My lord said.
Yes, our army is bound to win, so there is no need to retreat, just crush them all the way!"
"Lord!" Several Qiang people, Qu Shuai, who had been whispering since hearing Han Sui's order, looked at each other. Among them, Qu Shuai from the Fengjian Qiang tribe was the first to shout, "It's just a Han army. The warriors of the gods are not afraid of challenges.
Before the war, please let me go and meet with them first!"
"Yeah!" Han Sui's eyes flashed with cold light. Although he had changed a lot because of Cheng Gongying's sudden death, Han Sui was still the ruthless and unscrupulous Jiuqu Huanghe in his heart. To describe it in one sentence, that is
This guy is a ruthless person, very, very ruthless.
Now, in addition to the zero Qiang who can guarantee their loyalty, as for the rest of the Qiang wallflowers, since they want to show off the strength of their Qiang people, it just so happens that no matter the victory or defeat, he will be the winner, so what's the point?
Unwilling. What's more, he also knew that the force of these Qiang soldiers and Qiang commanders was indeed brave. If he could catch Ying Zige off guard, he wouldn't mind taking the opportunity to give them a ruthless blow.
.
Since Han Sui's successive defeats, his own Han troops had been less than 30,000. After successive efforts to gather them, he had summoned 100,000 Qiang troops.
Except for the 50,000 elites who were loyal to the Xianling Qiang, the rest were nothing more than the troops and horses gathered by the other five Qiang people. But even so, after leaving Cheng Gongying's 30,000 troops to guard Jincheng, Han Sui still
He brought an army of 100,000 to meet Ying Zige.
But he never expected that before the war started, the vanguard general Cheng Yin would be killed by Ma Chao and eight thousand cavalry due to some coincidence. The ten thousand vanguard army suffered numerous casualties, and the remaining thousands of troops were also defeated by Yingzi.
Ge was recruited. Coupled with the subsequent charge of Ma Chao, Ying Zige and others, they lost about 10,000 troops and horses, so that there were only more than 80,000 soldiers left in the 100,000-strong army.
On the contrary, Ying Zige. After integrating Jicheng, Tianshui, Guangwei and the remaining Ma family cavalry, the number of soldiers and horses gathered by Ying Zige in Cangcheng has reached 60,000.
Ma Chao's successive great victories were due to Ying Zige's own recruitment. In short, the number of troops under Ying Zige's command now reached 80,000.
It can be said that since the war began, for the first time, the military strength of both sides has reached a state of being almost the same. This is something Han Sui did not expect. Otherwise, even if his mentality changed drastically due to the death of Cheng Gongying and he was ready to give it a go, he would not
He will not make the choice to risk his life and fight. Instead, he will choose other methods of decisive battle. After all, fighting for one's life with a high probability of winning and risking one's death are completely different concepts.
But even if Han Sui knew this now, it was already too late, and his retreat was blocked.
However, the morale of the army was indeed extremely high as Han Sui expected. Knowing that there was no way out, all the soldiers and horses under Han Sui, including the Qiang Han, were in an extremely excited state. For them,
They say, if they don't win this battle, they will die, or they will definitely win this battle.
This is the belief in their hearts now. Of course, the rising belief at this time will indeed bring them an unprecedented combat power bonus. However, things must be reversed. At this time, the morale is getting higher and the combat power bonus is stronger. When they find that they cannot
When you shake the enemy on the opposite side, their morale will drop faster, and the army's collapse will become more exaggerated.
