Chapter 307
When the number was fixed at 600,000, almost everyone in the entire Alexander Legion gasped.
600,000 Qin troops in black armor lined up neatly in a phalanx of the Qin army, and even if you just looked at it from a distance, you could see like a black carpet covering this large area of land.
"Whew...... Is this the real Qin Army......" Even Alexander couldn't help but take a deep breath to relax, "I haven't been so excited for a long time...... I can't help but think of the moment when Darius was defeated......"
Alexander raised his Damascus steel knife in his hand, and the light radiating from the blade made the entire soldiers of Alexander's legion feel the location of the conquering king.
"Everyone, the exciting time has finally arrived!" Alexander's deep, loud voice soon resounded throughout the region.
"My beloved soldiers, are you trembling when you see the Qin army in the distance?" Alexander continued, "Yes, it's not just you, my body is already trembling, but it's not that I'm afraid, but I feel the exciting battle that is coming!"
"How long has it been since we've had such an exciting opponent? Think of Darius of Persia, when we had less than 50,000 troops, and we had defeated a Persian army of hundreds of thousands!
"Since then, we have been called heroes, we are the force that makes the world tremble!
"They are the !! of the Qin army"
Alexander pointed the Damascus steel knife in his hand at the location of the Qin army in front of him, and then said, "The opponent is very strong, but this is a good thing, isn't it? I believe that you will also want to defeat them! After all, if there is no strong enough opponent, how can you win enough glory for us? Then let us step on the corpse of the Qin army today and send our glory to a higher throne!"
"Long live Your Majesty!!Long live Macedonia!!"
The Macedonian soldiers, who were originally shocked by the momentum of the Qin army, suddenly regained their original momentum, and even more eager to fight than before.
And Hephaestion on the side also had to sigh that as the commander of the army, Alexander did have an extremely good appeal, and just a few words made an entire army change their mood.
"Then, guys, our legions have been assembled, let's crush the enemy here once and for all!" Alexander waved the Damascus steel knife in his hand.
"Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"
In the midst of the excitement of the crowd, Alexander's Macedonian army began to move.
……
When the 600,000 Qin troops were completely materialized in this world, Qin Zhongyu felt as if his body had been completely hollowed out, and he was even about to fall.
"Whew...... That's really 600,000 soldiers...... I thought I was going to be squeezed dry......" Qin Zhongyu said with palpitations.
"Zhong Yu, I did go a little too far this time, but I will compensate you well when I go back...... When the time comes, just tell me what you want, even if you want me to do something embarrassing......" Ying Zheng whispered to Qin Zhongyu.
"Ahem......" Qin Zhongyu hurriedly changed the subject, "Ah, these 600,000 people are really spectacular! But is it really necessary? That Alexander only has 100,000 troops, isn't it too trivial to use six times the number of people to fight them?"
"It's not a big deal...... The other party is also a real powerhouse, and he must go all out, and he must not take it lightly......" Ying Zheng quickly answered Qin Zhongyu's question.
And Ying Zheng's words were also supported by the three generals under her, among which Bai Qi said: "Judging from the other party's military formation, it is indeed very orderly, and it moves quickly, it is definitely not an idle person, and the last general Bai Qi thinks that it is not ......too much to call 600,000 troops."
"That's right...... I see......"
Qin Zhongyu knew that he was just a rookie on the battlefield after all, and even if he was Yingzheng himself, he only admitted that he could only command 8,000 soldiers at most. Only famous generals like Bai Qi, Wang Qian, and Meng Tian are truly qualified to lead an army of hundreds of thousands!
However, judging from the cautious character shown by Ying Zheng and the three commanders of the Qin army, for such a major event as war, it really confirms a famous sentence in "The Art of War".
"Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be overlooked. ”
In other words, such a thing as war has a bearing on the life and death of a country, and it is indispensable to do serious investigation and research.
Therefore, in dealing with Alexander's army, which had only 100,000 troops, all the Qin generals, including Ying Zheng, maintained an extremely cautious attitude.
So Ying Zheng discussed with Bai Qi, Wang Qian, and Meng Tian for a while, and then said to the three Qin army generals: "Then now I officially appoint the three of you as the commanders of the Qin army to attack the Macedonian army!"
"Meng Tian, you lead an army of 100,000 as the right army!" Ying Zheng ordered one by one.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Wang Qian, you lead an army of 100,000 as the left army!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"As for General Bai Qi...... You will lead the 400,000 Chinese army with me!" Ying Zheng said to Bai Qi again.
"Got it, Your Majesty......"
After Yingzheng finished giving orders, the three generals began to command their own troops to act.
And almost at the same time, Qin Zhongyu also saw that the Macedonian army in front of him had also begun to move.
"Ah Zheng, you see, the Macedonian side has already started to act......"
"I know, Zhong Yu, you can rest well...... I'll settle their ...... soon," he said, and Ying Zheng also stepped on his horse, and then walked to the front.
"All the soldiers of the Qin army obey the order, I am the first emperor of the Great Qin, and now I order you to meet the enemy!"
"The stakes are very high in this battle, the left, center and right armies are commanded by their respective generals, and I will personally supervise the battle, and I hope that all the soldiers will kill the enemy bravely!"
"So...... Attack with all your troops!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!!"
All the Qin soldiers answered almost at the same time, making Qin Jun's voice like heaven and earth shattering at this moment.
The Qin army also began to act.
Under the leadership of the three generals Bai Qi, Meng Tian, and Wang Qian, the 600,000-strong army also began to advance towards Alexander's Macedonian army like a tide.
