Not long after, all the generals also entered the hall and began to report on the post-war situation of each department.

In this battle, the Qin army beheaded a total of about 8,000 Western soldiers, and one or two thousand of them escaped with General Blackstone. Of course, their own losses were not small, with more than 1,700 soldiers killed and hundreds injured.

However, judging from the losses on both sides, this was already a great victory, and it was a tough battle.

There are many factors that determine the outcome of a war, and the general's combat command is the most important.

Yang Heng was not only one of the Eight Heroic Generals of the Qin Kingdom, but also the only commander-in-chief of the frontier army.

Why is he the only one? Because most of the generals who guarded the local areas of the Qin State were transferred around by Xiao Yuan, but Yang Heng was an exception.

Based on the importance of Qin Pass, it can also be seen that his military talents are absolutely capable of taking charge alone.

After listening to all the reports, Yang Heng pondered for a moment and said: "The environment in Xirong is different from that in the Central Plains. Due to water and soil problems, it is not conducive to recovery. It is better to send the wounded back to Qinguan first."

"The general has already informed us about this, but many of the injured soldiers are unwilling to return, saying that they can fight again and will kill some more Xirong traitors." A general said.

"Isn't this nonsense?" Yang Heng said displeased: "Military orders are military orders and cannot be questioned."

"Yes." The general clasped his fists.

Yang Heng looked around for another week: "Now discuss the war."

"When fighting the enemy, the first thing to understand is the enemy's combat habits. The Xirong nomads are mainly nomadic, and they mostly use cavalry to attack tough battles, which is not their specialty. Therefore, on the basis of occupying Blackstone City, we still need to build a certain

Military defense line, avoiding the long and attacking the short."

As he spoke, he turned sideways and drew a circle on the map with his sword.

"Chen Hui's troops have gone to the Langju Mountain area to respond to my main force."

"Li Zhen's tribe, to the right of Black Rock, occupies favorable terrain, with many defensive horses, deep ditches and high fortresses..."

This military meeting was mainly to deal with the next reinforcements from Xirong. Yang Heng's deployment was also very clear. Blackstone City was the main force in the center, and a pair of wings grew on the left and right wings.

The three points echo each other and cannot be severed.

If the Xirong army attacks the left and right wings, the main force in the center can be coordinated at will. If it attacks the center, the two wings can also be completely retracted.

The purpose of this is to prevent Blackstone City from falling into a desperate situation, which can be said to be both offensive and defensive.

The falcon flapped its wings in the sky, and the battle report flew to Xiao Yuan's side.

It was only at this time that Xirong's country responded to the Qin army's attack. Similarly, the urgent letter from Black Rock City was also delivered by fast horses.

The King of Xirong has only received two pieces of information: first, a force has captured Quanqiu; second, Qin Pass guard Yang Heng's main force is storming Blackstone City, and Blackstone is urgently asking for help.

Yes, the urgent letter has just arrived, and the report of failure has not yet come.

In the hall, there are ornaments such as bull heads and horns hanging on the wall, giving it a strong tribal atmosphere.

The King of Xirong was sitting on the big chair directly above, with a gloomy face.

On both sides below, there were ministers of civil and military affairs. Regarding the current situation, a civil official stood up first and said: "Wang, Yang Heng is just a border army general of the Qin State. He has no right and cannot launch an attack on us without authorization.

, must have received the order from King Qin."

"Aren't you talking nonsense!" A Xirong general said angrily: "Now that Quanqiu has been attacked and Blackstone City is in danger, King Qin is going to start a war with us!"

This general, named Baltu, is a crazy war sect after Xian Da. He has planned to attack Qin again many times. He is also a Bai Rong noble and has a very high status.

Bai Rong, the lineage of the Xirong kings, ruled the Rong tribes.

His tone was no different from a scolding, but the civil servant looked at him with some fear and did not dare to speak back.

Baltu faced King Xirong again and said sternly: "King, Black Rock City is very important to us and must not be allowed to be occupied by the Qin army. I believe that reinforcements should be sent immediately to wipe out Yang Heng's troops and then counterattack Qin Pass.

, take advantage of this opportunity to take over the Central Plains!"

Xirong's desire to invade the Central Plains has never diminished, but it is a bit ridiculous for him to take over as soon as he takes over.

Not to mention that the chaotic war in the Central Plains has ended now, even when the countries are at war, if the foreigners want to come in, they will be beaten to death by the kings.

Just like Beidi, if you can win against the Liang army, you have to be pinned to the ground by the Liang king.

What's more, the Qin State destroyed the Liang and merged with the Huan, captured the powerful Jin, integrated the Xuan State, and conquered the south of the Yangtze River. Now there are millions of tiger and wolf troops, black armor and red tassels, connecting the sky and the earth, the nomadic tribes of Xirong, how is it possible!

Zhekang also stood up immediately and said worriedly: "Today's Qin is far from comparable to the Qin in the past. Their military is strong and their soldiers are all soldiers who have fought in hundreds of battles. If we fight head-on, we... we may not be able to defeat them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Baltu sneered, glanced at him and said, "I think General Zhekang was frightened by the Qin army. It's no wonder that you were defeated by the King of Qin and almost died."

"This is not a question of whether we are afraid or not." Zhe Kang argued: "It is a comparison of political, economic, and military power. Our chances of winning are really slim."

"On the battlefield, what matters is the bravery of the soldiers! How can our warriors be comparable to the soldiers of Qin!" How could Baltu think so? He is a Bai Rong noble and retains the thoughts of his fathers. In his heart, the Central Plains are like sheep.

Being able to be plundered by our own side, he couldn't help but sneer and say: "For many years, we have only been able to capture Qin's land, so there is no reason for the Qin army to resist! The only time was that you Zhekang was defeated by the King of Qin! It is really a shame for the whole clan!"

"You!" With such words, Zhekang's face turned red and he was about to get angry, but King Xirong frowned and shouted impatiently: "Okay! It's time to talk about the support issue of Black Rock City!"

After hearing this, Zhekang suppressed his anger, saluted King Xirong, and said: "Your Majesty, I think that King Qin's attack on me this time should be related to the incident at Qin Pass last time. We can send envoys to lobby and clarify the misunderstanding.

Resolve this war in a peaceful way."

"Coward!" Baltu was furious when he heard this. He pointed at Zhekang unceremoniously and said sternly: "Now everyone is fighting at the door! You are still thinking of asking for peace! A weak person like you is not worthy of our clan.

general!"

"Bartu!" Zhekang couldn't stand being humiliated by him over and over again. He glared and shouted: "War is not a child's play! The consequences of defeat are not something you can bear!"

"King!" Baltu didn't bother to pay attention to him, and directly faced King Xirong, saying in a loud voice: "Zhekang is too afraid of the enemy. If we blindly seek peace and concession, it will only further increase the arrogance of King Qin. Only by defeating them on the battlefield,

Only then can we take the initiative in negotiating peace!”
