Chapter 824: The two armies face off

A sentence of Qin people came, and instantly let the big tent fry.

Everyone, including the Yue Clan, stood up in panic almost at the same time.

A tribal leader sitting at the door grabbed the informant's chest and shouted: "Tell me, how many Qin people are coming?" How far is the Gathering Palace? ”

"Qin people...... Hundreds of Qin people came, less than fifty miles away from the royal court......" The messenger was strangled and rolled his eyes.

"Whew, I'm scared to death, it's only a few hundred people!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and the leader of the questioning also let go of his hand and threw the messenger to the ground.

"Great King, the Qin people dare to despise my Dayue Clan, and only a few hundred people dare to come to my royal court and let me kill them all!" King Nantu, who had a gloomy face, strode out of the account after speaking.

"Wait!" It was still the king of Zuoping who spoke, and then he turned to look at the king of the Huns and said, "Brother Wang, the Qin people only sent hundreds of people from afar, I'm afraid they don't want to fight with us, I think it's better not to do it lightly, let's see what their purpose is first?" ”

"King, what King Zuoping said is right, the Qin people must have a purpose in sending such a small number of people here, if we kill them, it will definitely cause big trouble!"

Several other tribal leaders all looked at the Yue Clan King together.

"What you said is right, Daqin has no grudges with my Yue clan, and there are occasional caravans, if you kill them rashly, it will inevitably anger the Great Qin Emperor, and at the moment we can't compete with Daqin, pass it on, line up to greet it, this king wants to see what the Qin people want to do?"

"Yes, King!" All the chiefs bowed together and then withdrew from the king's tent, each gathering his nearby guards.

With a few long and low horns sounded, the sound came from a distance of more than ten miles, and the people of the Yue clan who were working and grazing within a radius of a hundred miles all heard the news after a short period of distraction, and countless strong men hurriedly took their bows and arrows, turned over their horses, and went straight to the king's tent.

A team of more than 300 people in black armor and black armor of the Qin army escorted ten carriages, under the leadership of a group of frightened Yueshi people, is riding horses straight to the big lake, although there are only three hundred people, but the long Ge Lin stands and rolls the flag, the horse's hooves step neatly on the ground, like rolling thunder like shaking the empty grassland, the flowers and grass break and the grass and mud splash everywhere, in the flowers and plants in full bloom of the grass to break a muddy road, the momentum is majestic and terrifying.

"Woo~~Woo~~~"

This was accompanied by the sound of a muffled trumpet, followed by the sound of horses' hooves rushing like thunder, converging into a tsunami of oncoming waves.

"Lord Li, it seems that the people of the Yue Clan have discovered our whereabouts!" The escorted lieutenant rode his horse to Li Shun's carriage and reported.

"Well, we came all the way, nearly two thousand miles, this is where the Yue Clan's royal court is located, there must be a sentinel to report to the Yue Clan's king, I don't know the attitude of the Yue Clan king at the moment, let everyone be ready for battle, if there is a battle, you don't have to deliberately protect me and the chariot and horse, quickly send someone to leave the battlefield and return to Xianyang to report to Your Majesty!"

"Huh~" The captain clenched his fists to receive the order, and then turned around and shouted loudly, the team that was originally galloping quickly slowed down, and all the forbidden troops began to sort out their bows and crossbows, and their faces became extremely cold.

These three hundred people are not ordinary forbidden troops, but the guards and forbidden troops responsible for protecting the emperor, all of them are one of the hundred soldiers from the Great Qin army, each of them is a warrior who survived from the battlefield, and all of them have lords, the lowest are second-level made, and many of them are selected from the northwest battalion this time to fill the fresh blood of the Guards' forbidden army, they have just fought with the Huns Donghu, and they are very familiar with the new horse pawn equipment and steel weapons, so even if there are only three hundred people, But they are all murderous and high-spirited, and there is no cowardice at all.

Li ...... Master Li, you ...... What do you mean? ”

An official who followed Li Shun looked at the faintly visible banner of the Yue clan and the billowing smoke and dust in front of him, and stammered and wiped the sweat on his forehead.

"I mean, we're probably going to die here today!" Li Shun replied with a somewhat pale face.

"Huh?!" Several of the officials and interpreters who came with them were so frightened that they almost fell off the carriage.

"Afraid of what? A manly man, death is death! Li Shun secretly wiped the sweat on his forehead.

"But...... But I ...... I don't want to die yet......" One official's frightened cheeks twisted like a shoehorn.

"Hmph, the conflict of the army, it is up to you whether you want to die or not, but I want to remind you, we are the messengers of the Great Qin Emperor, the head can be broken and the blood can be shed, but the momentum cannot be lost, if anyone wants to surrender and beg the king of the Yue clan to spare his life, he will cut off his dog head first, the Yue clan, the barbarian ear, why be afraid!"

Li Shun pretended to be calm and shouted at the four grenades hidden in his clothes.

These three or four grenades were given to him by Chen Xu before leaving, and taught him how to use them in detail, originally Chen Xu also wanted to give him a handcuff, but after thinking about it for a while, he gave up, without a long time of loading and familiarization, the handcuff is not as good as a light crossbow, mainly after firing a shot, it is troublesome to load, and people who are not familiar with it can't get it in ten minutes, especially when riding on a horse.

"Lord Li is right, the Yue clan and the Hun Hu are generally barbaric races that drink blood, swords, guns, bows and arrows are all like rotten thatch, and the armor will not be made, I am afraid that they will do anything, if there is a conflict for a while, the subordinates will lead the sons and daughters to kill the banner of the Yue Clan King, the Yue Clan people will definitely panic, and you can turn the head of the car and flee the battlefield......" The lieutenant said next to the carriage.

"Don't act rashly for a while, everything is at my command, I think the king of the Yue clan will not attack as long as he is not stupid!" Li Shun admonished.

"Whoa!" The lieutenant gave up his order, and the nervous mood of several officials and interpreters sitting in the car also relaxed slightly.

The sound of the horn in front of me became clearer and clearer, and in the sound of horses' hooves like thunder, a cloud of dust covering the sky and the sun was getting closer and closer, and soon I could see countless banners of all kinds fluttering, and then I saw the army of the Yue Clan surging like a tide.

The two sides are less than five miles apart.

"Stop~" The captain raised the red tassel spear in his hand.

"咴~~"

In an instant, the three hundred forbidden soldiers grabbed the reins almost at the same time, and the horses under their crotches all raised their front hooves and neighed before stopping, lined up in two neat arrays.

'Bow~~" The captain gave the order again, only to hear a uniform sound of horns, and the two rows of forbidden troops raised their longbows almost at the same time, and long arrows with tail feathers were placed on the bowstring.

"Woo~Woo~~"

As the Yue's army got closer and closer, five or six thousand people rushed to a position less than three miles in a messy and loose array, and behind the Yue's army, more than a dozen banners of different colors could be seen, clustering a black pole in the middle.

"My lord, there is no doubt that the black Daxu must be where the king of the Yue clan is."

The lieutenant's face twitched slightly, his face was unusually cold and majestic, and his hand holding the gun trembled slightly.

If the other party only has two or three thousand people and still has the strength to fight, even if the Yueshi people fail in the end, they will definitely suffer heavy losses, but at the moment there are more than 6,000 people on the other side, and the captain who is familiar with the situation of Hun Hu can also see that today is not the right time, and he has encountered hard stubble, because there are more than ten flags of other tribes around the Yue King's Daxu, that is to say, today is not only facing the army of the Yue Clan's royal court, but also the armies of other tribes.

"Captain, things are not going well today!" A hundred generals next to the captain also licked his lips very nervously and whispered.

"Hehe, that's true, but I'm not a soft persimmon, listen to my orders for a while, if the battle starts, except for leaving a bunch of soldiers to protect Lord Li from the battlefield, everyone else will attack the Daxu position with me, and the Yue clan will definitely be in chaos!"

"Huh~" Several generals around him scattered with their hands.

The sound of hooves rolled like thunder, and the Yue Clan's army was less than two miles away, and the momentum seemed to be inevitable.

"Arrow~~" the captain raised his gun again and yelled.

"Whoa~~" The three hundred forbidden troops drew their longbows almost at the same time, and the shiny steel arrows emitted a cold light in the sun.

"Shake the messenger's flag~" Li Shun nervously stood up from the carriage.

"Wave the flag~~" the captain yelled.

Behind the team, a forbidden army began to wave a flagpole with a length of more than two zhang in his hand, a black dragon flag shook violently back and forth left and right, and with the shaking of the flag, a few short and sharp horns sounded in the rear of the Yue army on the opposite side, and the galloping Yue army quickly slowed down, and finally stopped at a distance of about a mile, and then the two sides of the army scattered, and Daxu and more than ten clan king flags came out of the army. An old man in a robe stood at the front of the army with a group of tribal leaders in different costumes.

The scene instantly quieted down, the two sides rode their horses relatively without any movement, the three hundred forbidden troops were still in the state of the longbow full moon, and among the other party's army, there were also countless riders who had drawn their longbows, and the two sides confronted each other on the grassland with bright spring flowers and plants.

One side was strong and strong, and five or six thousand people scattered and occupied an area of three or four miles.

On the other side, there were only 300 people, and the formation was scattered for less than half a mile.

The gap between the two sides was clear at a glance, and if the battle began, the three hundred people would be overwhelmed by each other in an instant.

"Wang Tongyi, talk to the king of the Yue clan with the bannerman, and tell the king of the Yue clan that we are just envoys who came on the orders of the emperor, and we don't want to fight with them!"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Shun's panic slowly calmed down, the Yue Clan King must not have planned to attack them, and the most likely purpose of doing so was to show off his might and intimidate.

As the forbidden army slightly spread a gap on both sides, the interpreter wearing a seven-rank official robe slowly came out with two forbidden soldiers holding large flags.
