Zi Youge Xizhicai successfully avoided a war with his persistence, a killing of tens of thousands of people, and this benevolent heart deeply moved Luan Yi.

Subsequently, the Aegis lurking in Qiang Dao sent a secret report, burning when the Qiang King gathered Sister Le, Dangfang, Khotan, Sister Gang, Beipu, Wuwu, Zhong Cun, Gong Tang, and Freeze, Fu Nan, plus more than 10,000 Han troops brought into the Qiang land by Han Sui, a total of more than 300,000 people in Jiuquan were waiting for a battle to the death with Luan Yi at any time.

At the same time, Xian Lingqiang also led the four departments of Qianren, Beipu, Sister Le, and Dang Fang, as well as the three departments of Quanwu, Shen Di, and Sister Prison who were lobbied by Xi Zhicai, and gathered a total of 80,000 Qiang cavalry to throw themselves under Luan Yi's tent, plus the church brought 200,000 troops this time, a total of 280,000 troops drove straight in, through the territory of the Shen Qi Qiang people, crossed the territory of the Qiang people, crossed the grassland where the Xian Lingqiang people lived for generations, and passed through the Longxi Passage of the Qiang people to the border of Jiuquan safe and sound.

The strong smell of war began to intensify in Jiuquan,

In terms of strategy and tactics, Luan Yi's final choice was unexpectedly consistent with that of King Dangqiang, a battle is determined to be won or lost, that is, without any small-scale battle, you are 330,000 on both sides, I am 280,000, and the array is completely determined by a big battle.

So, on the third day after the two armies arrived at their designated strategic locations, the 330,000 Qiang army lined up on the vast Hexi Plain with the accompaniment of melodious horns.

At three o'clock in the morning, the drums sounded in the church camp, and the guards shouting the trumpets wore helmets and armor, held their spears, and marched in sonorous and powerful steps in front of the camp to line up the geese in a large array according to the order.

It is worth mentioning that the location of the church army formation in this battle was carefully selected by Xu Shu according to the Jiuquan topographic map provided by Aegis, and in the rear of the church army, that is, to the east is a low hill, because of the existence of the hill, the terrain here is high in the east and low in the west.

In this way, the terrain can be used to limit the impact of the Qiang cavalry, while the church army can take advantage of the height to increase the range of long-range weapons such as bows and thunderbolts.

Beigong Boyu, the king of Qiang, obviously also saw that such a battlefield was a little unfavorable to his side, but he had never tasted defeat in fighting the Han army for many years, and he always had a contemptuous attitude towards the Han army, "What can you do if you Han people have the advantage of terrain, and my Qiang people's iron cavalry will still crush you,"

Han Sui saw that the Qiang King Beigong Boyu showed an obvious look of contempt for the enemy, and couldn't help but shudder, the Qiang King still didn't know the power of gunpowder, but he Han Sui knew that if the Qiang King was so stupid to let the Qiang soldiers take the initiative to charge into battle, they would have to be blown up by gunpowder.

"I said Brother Beigong Boyu......"

"Who is your brother," Beigong Boyu rolled his eyes at Han Sui, "Lao Tzu is the king of Qiang, call me Your Majesty,"

Han Sui was bored, "Your Majesty, the current Han army is different from the previous one, the commander of them is the famous god general of the Han Dynasty, the current King of Qi, in the past time they have won a hundred battles, they have not tasted defeat, it is not easy to be with them, Your Majesty must not underestimate the enemy, if there is a war in a while, Your Majesty must not attack first, just stand by and stick to the military formation,"

I have to say that Han Sui's idea is very correct, if gunpowder wants to exert its power, it must rely on the thunderbolt to fire, which also makes its mobility poor, good at defending and not good at attacking, if Beigong Boyu sticks to the position and takes advantage of the advantage of numbers to take a defensive position, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble to Luan Yi,

However, will Beigong Boyu listen to Han Sui, of course not, first of all, Han Sui is a Han man, Beigong Boyu as the king of Qiang will naturally not listen to him, secondly, Beigong Boyu does not know that the Han army has a sharp weapon in his hands that can bring him a catastrophe, gunpowder, again, Beigong Boyu is arrogant, in his opinion, the dignified Qiang army has always held the tail to defend the Han people, seeing that the Han people only need one round to kill the crying father who killed Zhun Bao,

Therefore, after listening to Han Sui's suggestion, Beigong Boyu not only did not adopt it, but glared at Han Sui angrily, and shouted: "Lao Tzu still uses you to teach the soldiers," and then ordered, and the army marched east for five miles to meet Han Dog,

330,000 Qiang people, against 280,000 Han and Qiang coalition troops, adding up to a total of 610,000 people,

What is the concept of 610,000 people, the 21st century Beijing ** Square can stand up to 300,000 people, 300,000 people stand in it and it is full, people next to people, feet to feet, you can't see the floor tiles, and there is not even a place for birds to land.

300,000 people can crowd the ** square, but the current war is as many as 610,000 people, and the ground area occupied by the flat is larger than the two ** squares, which is only a theoretical value.

After all, in the battlefield fighting, the soldiers cannot be piled together, and a relatively loose military formation is required, and there are corresponding facilities such as cavalry, catapults, drum platforms, and baggage in the military formation, plus the ground required to fill these elements, and the total area exceeds three ** squares,

It can be seen that the situation of the battlefield in this battle is magnificent,

On the west side of the battlefield, the sound of the horses' hooves of the Qiang cavalry came from far and near, because it was not yet the last moment of charge, the sound of hooves in the ears was not intense, ......but the "da-da" seemed like the water droplets on the eaves fell to the ground.

In the military array, as the proprietor, the cavalry of Dangqiang should be in the middle army, Sister Le, Dangfang, Khotan, Sister Gang, and Beipu were ranked in the front army and placed in the position of exclusive cannon fodder, Wuwu, Zhong Cun, and Gong Tang were on the left, and Frozen and Fu Nan were on the right, becoming the second cannon fodder echelon in the army.

Unlike the Burndang people, who regard the subordinate tribes as cannon fodder, in this battle, Luan Yi did not arrange any starting tasks for the Qiang tribes of Qianren, Beipu, Sister Le, Dangfang, Wuwu, Shen Di, and Sister Prison, but only arranged them on the right flank, telling them that they don't need to take care of anything for the time being, and that after the war, they only need to cover the horse's eyes with strips of cloth and block the horse's ears.

For Luan Yi's choice, Quan Wu and Shen Di Qiang were very surprised, in the past, in their eyes, the Han people had a virtue with Dangqiang, and they were always allowed to rush to the front as a vanguard in wars, and there was never a situation where they were asked to watch the battle and wait for the opportunity to launch a general attack.

The vanguard and the general attack look almost all rushing, in fact, the treatment is very different, you must know that the first charge to launch a tough battle, the enemy to face is not only neat, but also the morale is arrogant, such an attack not only casualties are huge, but also not how many people can be killed, the only thing to do is to break up the enemy's formation, open a breakthrough for the follow-up soldiers and horses to launch a general attack,

However, no matter how much damage you do to the enemy's array, it cannot be measured by military merit, but the number of heads obtained by killing people is closely related to military merit and salary, and in this respect, the latecomer can obviously obtain more heads than the vanguard, and the more heads you get, the more abundant the silver will naturally be.

At present, the Qiang people have changed their identity as vanguard cannon fodder in the past, and have become a member of the general attack army waiting to kill their heads and get money, which makes them very uncomfortable, and they don't even know how to fight the battle for a while.

Fortunately, Luan Yi had an instruction to them before, asking them to "wait quietly, cover the horse's eyes and ears," so that they would not be at a loss, stupidly covering the horse's eyes with cloth, raising their hands to block the horse's ears, and waiting for the decisive moment to come.

Among all the Qiang people, there are also some people who don't like to squat next to watch the battle, that is, the first zero Qiang people,

The Qiang people have an old saying: "Burn when the Xiong army dominates Longxi, and the first zero wolf slaughter warriors gather...... There is no despair as a slave, and a prison sister has food and grass, "that is to say, Xian Lingqiang is a group of warriors and warriors, and among the Qiang, the most capable of fighting is good.

It is for this reason that the first Lingqiang is qualified to become the supreme ruler of the twenty-four Qiang in the past, but unfortunately, the first Lingqiang people are good at war but not good at strategizing, thirty years ago by the cunning burning Qiang people, let the burning Qiang people unite the twelve Qiang tribes to knock them down, since then they have been in a slump,

Therefore, Xian Lingqiang and Burning Dangqiang have the deepest hatred, coupled with their brave and aggressive habits, when they heard that Luan Yi did not let them act as pioneers, they immediately raised objections, and took the initiative to ask Luan Yi for help, asking to charge ahead, and give Burning Dangqiang King Beigong Boyu a little color to see,

Luan Yi politely refused Xian Lingqiang's request, and told Xian Lingqiang's head that although they would not be allowed to start this battle, they would definitely be arranged to launch a general attack later, and it would not be too late to go to Beigong Boyu for revenge at that time.

As soon as these words came out, he never thought that the first Lingqiang leader was like a ** bag, but he became angry, "King Qi, did you look down on us, so you arranged us behind,"

The war was imminent, where did Luan Yi have the time to explain these problems to him, and then responded mercilessly: "That's right, I just look down on you, your method of fighting and killing is outdated, today, let the warriors of our Holy Han Empire let you see, what is the new war of the Shengyuan era, come here, invite the first zero leader,"

Said it was please, but in fact, it was pressure, Dian Wei and Hercules dragged the leader of Xian Lingqiang to the rear army, and on the way to leave, Xian Lingqiang's head struggled while chanting words, "Holy Han Empire, when did the Han court change its title?"

He didn't know that the Holy Han Empire was just a slip of the tongue created by Luan Yi in order to shake himself up, which was a slip of the tongue, and did not represent the official will, but the slip of the tongue was a slip of the tongue, but it also inadvertently conveyed some of Luan Yi's potential thoughts, such as the word sacred in the Holy Han Empire, which obviously represents the Church of Our Lady, and the Holy Light of the Church of Our Lady is above the name of the country, which means that the status of the Church of Our Lady will be higher than that of the imperial court in the future.

Speaking of the word "empire" after the Han Dynasty, those who are familiar with history know that countries that dare to call themselves empires often have to have a strong army as the backing, and they are different from kingdoms and dynasties, they like to be in a corner of peace, pay attention to benevolent rule of the world, but are more wild and aggressive.

For example, we are familiar with the Roman Empire, the Great Qin Empire, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Mongol Empire, the Third Reich, ...... But I have never heard of a weak country that dares to claim to be an empire.
