Chapter Ninety-Four: The Third Decisive Battle

The Ye'er Qiang people trembled and waited for Wang Hanxin to send troops to attack for a longer time than they expected, and Wang Hanxin did not move for ten days. Until the eleventh day, Wang Hanxin suddenly pulled out the camp and appeared in front of the Yeerqiang people in only a day and a half.

But this speed was not a surprise attack compared to his previous ones, and at best it could only be called a fast march. Moreover, under the planning of the Gul brothers, the combat preparations of the Yeerqiang people were very sufficient, and Wang Hanxin could not succeed even if he wanted to sneak attack.

The two sides faced off in their respective formations early the next morning, and in terms of troops, the country of Silk had a slight advantage, and Ye Erqiang was only able to mobilize less than 4,000 troops after several battles; In terms of weapons and equipment, the country of silk has an absolute advantage, even if the Yeerqiang people have the Tubo people to provide considerable equipment, but it is only the level of armed people, and the regular army of the country of silk is still far away.

The arrays of the two sides remained outside the maximum range of the arrows, and Wang Hanxin rode his horse from a high place to carefully observe the opponent's formation, his brows furrowed.

Beside him, the overseer Mi Yiguo couldn't help but have some doubts: since he had been acting with the army, he had successfully overcome his physical weakness, and his attitude towards Wang Hanxin had also changed, because if it weren't for the support of the medicine that Wang Hanxin had prepared for him, he would never have been able to overcome the fatigue of this long-distance attack so easily, although Wang Hanxin's attitude towards him was still lukewarm. After seeing Wang Hanxin win two consecutive victories far away from the battlefield, Mi Yiguo has turned to extreme worship for this person who was regarded as the demon king in the past, he saw the heroic posture of a brave and resourceful general galloping and killing the enemy on the battlefield, and also understood the cruelty and hardship of the battlefield, and had a new understanding of the difficulty of victory, but he had never seen this expression on Wang Hanxin's face today. Therefore, he was so confused that he asked Zhou Siyi, the only general in the middle and upper echelons of the army who could speak, for the reason.

"It's because this battle is very difficult, Lord Warden. The formation of the other party is completely different from the previous array of the Qiang tribe, there are almost no flaws in it, and the only few small flaws do not look like lack of ability, but a trap deliberately left, if you start from there, the other party must have a powerful back move to deal with. If we attack, we will still be the winner, but the casualties will be very heavy. ”

"If you can win, why hesitate? Could it be that Your Majesty will blame General Dingxi for these casualties? ”

Zhou Siyi glanced at him, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Lord Supervisor may not care about the lives of these soldiers, but General Dingxi is different. These soldiers are experienced veterans and cannot be wasted in this kind of tribal conflict. Besides, if our troops are consumed too much, then the ability to suppress the Qiang will be greatly weakened, and I am afraid that the other three tribes will be ready to move again. ”

Mi Yiguo nodded, now he understood that Wang Hanxin was thinking about the overall situation rather than the needs of this battle, this is the level that a leading general should consider, otherwise it would be just a martial artist.

At this time, Wang Hanxin's horse moved.

He ran all the way to the front of the formation, came to the front of the Ye'er Qiang people's formation, and said loudly: "I am Wang Hanxin, the general of Dingxi!" Please come out and see the master of today's formation! ”

Mi Yiguo was puzzled when he heard this: "What does this mean?" ”

Zhou Siyi shook his head and said, "This subordinate doesn't understand either, let's see what's going on." ”

After a short while, Ye Erqiang's array slowly walked out of the two of them. The man on the right-hand side is as burly as an iron tower, and it can be seen at a glance that this is a brave and warlike man, riding a horse under his crotch, and his coat is tinged with a faint purple; The one on the left hand side is much more delicate, riding a scrawny old horse. Both of them don't seem to be very old, only in their twenties.

When Wang Hanxin saw it, he hurriedly said: "The two of you are Gul, Brother Barr?" ”

Gul was stunned for a moment, and said, "I don't want my brother's cheap name to be known to adults, it's really an honor." ”

Wang Hanxin said: "I have long heard that there are two heroes in Ye'erqiang's department, one article and one martial arts complement each other, and it is really fortunate to see it today." Dare to ask if the two of you are in this formation today? ”

Gul said: "It is in Lower Gur. The class got an axe, which made the adults laugh. ”

"Where, where. Your Excellency's position is in line with the art of war, so that you have no way to start. To tell the truth, if we break this formation, we will suffer nearly half of the casualties, and you will be completely annihilated. But such a senseless war of attrition is not conducive to the survival of your ministry or to our army. Therefore, I specially invited you to come to meet you, just to discuss with you, since the result of the battle is already clear, then why fight and lose, is this the price that your ministry has to pay in order to prove your innocence? ”

Gul smiled slightly, and said: "My lord doesn't know, my two brothers are not Ye'er Qiang people, but they are just friends of Ye Erqiang leader Luo Ke, but the friend's clan has suffered a lot of injustice, if you are wronged because of fear, then the Ye Er Qiang people categorically can't accept it, even if your country raises the whole country's troops to Xingshi to ask for guilt, the Ye'er Qiang people can only try their best to fight to understand their hearts." Although my two brothers cannot compare with the righteousness of the ancients, they will not hesitate to shed this blood for their friends. ”

Wang Hanxin immediately arched his hand and said: "Your Excellency's brother Gao Yi is admirable, but if you rashly adopt such an extreme approach when there is still room for maneuver, it will inevitably make people feel that it is a momentary courage rather than a wise move. I am willing to guarantee it, ask both sides to stop the army, and then find out the real culprit behind this incident together, and return the Yeerqiang people to an innocence, how about it? ”

After hearing this, Gul smiled and said: "My brother is really grateful for my lord's heart, but it's a pity that we are not the leader of Ye'erqiang, so it is better to invite Lord Rocco to discuss this matter together, how about it?" ”

"In this case, please ask the two Yucheng to do this." Wang Hanxin saluted on his horse and said, "I will wait here below, and please tell the two of you what the leader of Rocco means." ”

Gul arched his hand and said, "My lord, wait a while, I'll go back when I go." ”

With that, Gul took Baal and turned his horse's head and ran into the formation.

"Big brother, you are really accurate, Wang Hanxin is really unwilling to use force." Barr laughed as he walked.

Gul said with a calm face: "You are wrong, this person really wants to use force." If it weren't for the rigor of my formation, I'm afraid he would have attacked us without hesitation and defeated us before coercing us to accept his demands. And once this person understands what the outcome is, he can immediately choose to compromise, which is even more terrifying. You have to be more cautious when dealing with this person.
