"Haha, this is a good thing. Now it seems that we have to prepare for the decisive battle in three days. The order goes down and everyone has a good rest." Heliansen laughed.
His subtext meant that there was going to be a decisive battle in three days, so it was better not to think about a breakout and waste the few troops and strength.
Faced with this good news, Lieutenant General Jia Gan was not so optimistic. He just asked curiously, "It's strange. If the Jizhou Army is going to have a decisive battle, why do they choose it after three days?"
"It's not surprising. The other side also needs to make some preparations, right?" Helianlin still said with a relaxed expression. In his opinion, as long as the Jizhou Army is willing to fight decisively, it is good news, and there is a chance of success.
Where vitality lies.
Besides, it would be a good thing to use these three days to see if any reinforcements have arrived.
Helianlin is a person who doesn't like to use his brain very much, but his words also have a certain truth. At least Xie Bai can't hear what the problem is, so he also nodded, "Then wait for three more days."
The Helian family and the Beihei Army came to a standstill, but why did the Jizhou Army choose to fight in three days?
This is for the sake of the overall situation.
It's just a trench three feet wide. It's impossible to completely block the enemy's breakthrough with them.
Yes, the enemy will pay a heavy price during the counter-breakout process. But what happens next?
Without knowing the direction of the enemy's breakout, the Jizhou Army cannot focus on defense. Once the enemy begins a full-scale breakout, many people will inevitably escape from the encirclement. This is already Jijun's territory. Once the enemy is allowed to escape,
If they destroy them, it will take a lot of effort for the Jizhou Army to eradicate them.
So instead of going back and spending a lot of energy to find the enemy, it would be better to fight the enemy here and completely eliminate them here.
News has come from Tang Ao that they have eliminated the enemy's rear army and are now here. They will arrive in two days.
Originally, the Jizhou Army had an advantage in strength. Once the Shanshan Guard Cavalry arrived, they would have the ability to destroy the enemy in one battle, and a three-day agreement was made.
The purpose of informing the opponent in advance is to give the opponent hope so that the enemy will not make a breakthrough and facilitate the subsequent decisive battle between the two sides.
As expected, the enemy calmed down, and Shen Yunyi began to constantly adjust his army. Two days later, Tang Ao led eight thousand Shanshan Guards to the outside of the encirclement. At this point, the conditions for a decisive battle had been formed.
Two nights later, it started to rain, and the rain became heavier and heavier.
Due to the heavy rain, the members of the Helian family all retreated to their tents to prepare for the decisive battle tomorrow.
Outside the encirclement, in the big tent, Tang Ao looked at the heavy rain, his face full of joy. His uncle Shen Yunyi on the side even said with a sigh, "God is really helping us."
"Yes, even God is helping us. We will definitely win this battle." Tang Ao's voice came out, accompanied by the sound of raindrops hitting the ground and splashing mud.
The rain stopped before dawn. In the morning, the sun rose high, seeming to tell everyone that today was a sunny day.
In the morning, Xie Bai and Helianlin walked out of the tent with good faces. They had a good sleep in the sound of rain last night and were waiting for today's decisive battle.
"Go down and collect all the food so that everyone can eat as much as possible." Helianlin ordered the soldiers around him.
Although there is not much food left, everyone has been eating one meal a day for the past two days. But seeing that the decisive battle is about to begin, it is natural to take out all the food and fight it.
The soldiers immediately went to deliver the order. Helianlin asked Xie Bai beside him with a relaxed expression: "General Xie, what do you think our chances of winning this battle are?"
"At least 60%." Xie Bai said proudly.
Over the years, Xie Bai has been active in the Black City area, and one of the most successful things he has done is to train an elite army. In his eyes, the 10,000 Northern Black Army under him are both outstanding in terms of combat effectiveness and riding skills.
It is the strongest army in the world.
If the numbers are equal, Xie Bai is confident that he can defeat any army in the world. Even if he was surrounded for ten days and the physical strength of his brothers was somewhat exhausted, the number of people is still there and the combat effectiveness is still there.
Before, he just didn't have the chance to go into battle and charge, but now that he was given the opportunity, that was when the Beihei Army showed up to the world. He wanted to let the Jizhou Army know how powerful his Beihei Army was in a frontal charge.
What Xie Bai said was so confident that Helian Lin's ears made him applaud again and again. "Okay, okay, then let us warriors from the Helian family join the brothers from the Northern Black Army to kill everyone today."
, we want the Jizhou Army to regret offending us."
"That's good." Xie Bai also laughed loudly, expressing the heroic feeling in his heart at this moment.
"Report." Just when the two generals looked happy and optimistic about the future, Jia Gan ran over anxiously. "Two generals, the Jizhou Army has changed the direction of the decisive battle."
"Oh? Where did it change?"
"It was changed from the south to the east." Jia Gan answered.
"Well, it doesn't matter, it doesn't make any difference to us." Helianlin said with an unchanged expression. In fact, for him, whether the decisive battle is in the south or in the east is essentially the same.
As long as they defeat the Jizhou Army on the frontal battlefield, then when thousands of horses gallop across the land of Jizhou, then which direction is not the decisive battle?
Xie Bai also wanted to say this, but before he could speak, Heliansong trotted over not far away. "Generals, something bad is going on. The Jizhou Army has already set up a formation in the east."
"What's going on?" Xie Bai asked in shock.
"Well... the two generals should go take a look and find out." Helianson didn't know how to explain it, so he lowered his head and invited them to take a look at the scene.
Several people mounted their war horses and took their soldiers with them, and rushed to the so-called decisive battlefield in the east. When they were still far away, they saw that the iron shells had passed through the trenches and were spread out in front of them.
"hiss!"
Helianlin, who had heard his brother say that the chariot was powerful, couldn't help but gasped when he saw the scene in front of him, and his expression changed drastically.
"What's wrong? Is this thing very powerful?" Xie Bai saw this thing for the first time and asked in confusion.
"Awesome. This thing is very powerful. My brother said that it can shoot bows and arrows outwards, but with its steel body, people outside can't do anything to them. This thing is useless for both cavalry and infantry.
It can be called a sharp weapon."
After Helianlin explained, he said angrily, "These things are so heavy and heavy. How did they appear here? We have to eat hard food all night long. Didn't we all fall asleep last night?"
"
"It rained heavily last night, so everyone went back to rest." Heliansong said in a low voice.
It was precisely because of the heavy rain and the decisive battle today that they did not go out to patrol at all hours. At this time, the Jizhou Army built a bridge in the rain and sent hundreds of tanks across the ditch.
With this scene in front of me.
"You...you are such a bunch of trash." Helianlin's face turned pale with anger and he cursed angrily.
The fact has become a fact, and it is too late to say anything now. What needs to be considered now is not the decisive battle with the Jizhou Army. If it were normal times, they could still make a choice, but now, they have eaten even the last food, and it seems that they are...
No choice.
"Well, no matter whether this thing is powerful or not, this is our opportunity after all, and the decisive battle remains unchanged." Xie Bai was afraid that Helianlin would get hot-headed again and make other decisions. If so, the morale of the military would inevitably be shaken, then
This battle was really lost before it was even fought.
Xie Bai made a decision. Helianlin originally wanted to say something. But he found that he had no better way, so he lowered his head and accepted the result.
The generals returned to the tent with heavy hearts. After watching the 25,000 cavalry eat the last rations, Xie Bai still gave a speech. The main idea was that Jizhou is here.
At their feet, it all depends on today's performance whether they will enjoy the glory and wealth or go back to continue eating glutinous rice.
The 10,000-strong Northern Black Army, who didn't know what the iron shell was or how powerful it was, had high morale. They shouted loudly one by one, as if they were about to attack the Jizhou Army camp now, and they seemed to have already obtained the victory.
Like a victory.
More than 20,000 cavalrymen gathered and arrived at the main battlefield in the east from the beginning of the Mao hour to the end of the Chen hour. A hundred scattered iron shells also came into everyone's sight.
The iron shell suddenly appeared, and many Helian warriors showed fear on their faces. All of them had heard about how powerful this thing was, and some even experienced it personally. Now that they saw it again, there was no reason not to be afraid.
On the other hand, the 10,000 Northern Black troops were ignorant and fearless, and there was no change.
Xie Bai knew that Tie Kezi was difficult to deal with, but he still decided to be the first to charge. Otherwise, once the brothers below saw the power of Tie Kezi and became afraid, there would be no need for the next battle.
Went to fight.
"The Northern Black Army gathers and prepares for the attack. Jia Gan is the vanguard, leading three thousand cavalry, and the others will follow my general to charge."
Xie Bai gave the first order to attack, and Helianlin on the side was not far behind and said, "Helian family warriors, follow this general's order and follow the Northern Black Army to charge. We have the advantage of cavalry.
, victory will definitely belong to us."
Seeing that the Northern Black Army was going to lead the battle, the Helian cavalrymen who knew about it looked much better. After all, even if they died, they wouldn't be the first to die, right?
In this way, many people shouted that victory would definitely belong to us, and I felt that our morale had improved a lot.
