Xin Yantuliang's army came on the third day after King Fan and He Ran became sworn brothers.
He Ran climbed to the top of the mountain and stared at the long dust rising in the sky. Under the earthy yellow dust mist was a thin black line. As the dust mist got higher and higher, the thin line turned into a surging black tide, and then he
Feeling the shaking of the earth, each of the soldiers had at least three horses, and the momentum of more than 100,000 horses running together can only be described as breathtaking. Even a person like him who is used to seeing big scenes was horrified, and he could see the vastness at a glance.
The grassland makes the battle here look much more ambitious than the battle in the Central Plains.
The enemy's vanguard stopped more than ten miles away, while the army behind slowly advanced, like waves endlessly surging from the skyline. It can be seen that Xin Yantuliang was ready to fight with all his strength this time.
It worked.
At the foot of the mountain here, King Fan's 40,000-strong army was camped in a tight formation for several miles, and they were also as powerful as a rainbow. At this time, the war horses in the camp felt the sound of galloping hooves of thousands of horses in the distance and couldn't help but neigh and scratch their hooves. This scene is amazing.
His heart beat faster involuntarily.
The opponent had obviously expected that King Fan would attack here, so he was fully prepared. He arranged, advanced, and set up camp in a very organized manner. If he wanted to attack while his camp was not stable, he would probably not gain much advantage, so King Fan did not
What action to take.
The tense atmosphere before the war enveloped the surrounding areas, and they would go into battle tomorrow. Most of the prairie men were still chatting and laughing. Some people approached Yi Jun's camp with a superior attitude to check. These people looked down on the soldiers of the Central Plains from the bottom of their hearts, but what they saw
The scene was unexpected. These Yi soldiers seemed to be more calm and calm than they were. Some were sharpening their swords and guns, and more were playing in groups playing various games they didn't know. These soldiers couldn't help but secretly
I'm speechless, I don't dare to look down upon you anymore.
Before dawn the next day, the drums and horns of both sides sounded one after another. Xin Yan's army began to move forward slowly, while King Fan's army stood firm and waited.
He Ran stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the opponent's formation. When he saw thousands of Zhao troops gathered on the right wing, a smile appeared on his lips. King Fan's army was arranged according to the trumpet mouth of the valley, and the front was only a few miles wide.
Therefore, it was difficult for the enemy to devote all their troops. The forward camp sent only 30,000 troops, while King Fan sent 20,000 troops.
The two armies lined up a stone's throw away from each other. He Ran and the Dacha Banner rode together in front of the formation. When the Dacha Banner's ceremonial guard lined up the colorful sacred flag to the left of King Fan's banner, there was a commotion in the enemy formation.
Then, as He Ran's blue military division flag was unfurled on the right side of the banner, the enemy's Zhao camp on the right was in an uproar.
He Ran glanced at the banner of General Zhao next to Xinyan Tuliang's banner and recognized that it was former general Zhao Jiao. He had not seen this person before, so he ordered someone to go and send a message for Zhao Jiao to answer before the formation. Soon Zhao Jiao
Surrounded by all the guards, he galloped to the front of the formation. He Ran also rode his horse out of the formation. A few feet apart, the two sides reined in their horses. Zhao Jiao saluted on the horse and said: "The military advisor is really a dragon that sees its head but not its tail. I don't want to see each other again."
He Ran returned the gift, and seeing that Zhao Jiao was in his fifties and looking powerful and tall, he smiled and said, "I have often heard of the old general's reputation. It's a blessing to see him today."
Zhao Jiao grinned and frowned, not knowing what to say. He Ran's sudden appearance made him a little overwhelmed. The reason why he wanted to fight in the front line this time was mainly to express Zhao Guo's firm support to Xin to King Fan.
Yan's position was to intimidate King Fan. If he had known in advance that Yi's army had arrived, he should have served as a rear guard. Now this situation puts him in a bit of a dilemma.
He Ran said with a smile: "Old General, the two countries of Yi and Zhao have a very good relationship. Although each side supports one side now, this is a matter of the prairie after all. If the Yi and Zhao armies meet each other today, I am afraid that the two of us will not be able to bear the responsibility.
It's hard to explain in front of each other's kings, I wonder what the old general thinks?"
Zhao Jiao complained in his heart. King Zhao had indeed taken this into consideration, so he told him before leaving that if he encountered Yi Jun, he should try not to take the lead in fighting.
If you don't agree, then the blame will be on Zhao's side, but if you agree with his suggestion, both sides will withdraw from the camp... The problem is that the Yi army is stationed on the mountain based on the flag just issued, and there is no Yi army in the array.
, but his own soldiers occupy the right wing. Once the right wing is withdrawn, there will be chaos. King Fan's army will definitely take advantage of the situation to cover up the enemy, and it will be out of control.
He Ran didn't give him much time, and said calmly: "Yi, whether Zhao and Zhao are at war or in peace all depends on the old general's thoughts. Please make a quick decision, old general." He said with a cold face and raised the flag in his hand.
, the Yi army on the mountain immediately beat loudly with war drums, and it looked like they were about to come down from the mountain.
Zhao Jiao began to sweat on his forehead. The first time they met, he realized how powerful this military advisor of the Yi State was. He was determined to put the blame for provoking the war between Yi and Zhao on the Zhao State. He single-handedly held the power of the Yi State.
, King Yi treats him like a brother and sister, he can decide whether to fight with Zhao or not, but he can't. Although Zhao and Yi each support one side of the prairie, which will inevitably lead to disharmony between the two countries, who can break up first?
But it is related to the credibility and reputation of the country. Now the military advisor of the Yi State has taken the initiative to ask the Yi and Zhao armies to avoid it, which really puts him in a dilemma. If the Yi and Zhao countries go to war, it will be okay, but in case the king has judged the situation and feels that
It's better not to start a war. Maybe he will be regarded as a scapegoat and executed for the crime of starting a war. In this way, it is not impossible to exchange for Yi Guo's understanding.
At this time, there was no room for him to think too much. After weighing it a little, he said: "What the military advisor said is absolutely true. Today's meeting in front of the battle is definitely not what Zhao Guo wanted. In fact, he didn't know that the military advisor would appear here. The current situation is easy."
I am not allowed to withdraw. I can only defend my position and not participate in the attack. The military advisor should be considerate. Could you please ask the military advisor to temporarily order the main army not to fight this battle? After this battle, both your and our troops will withdraw from the battlefield and let them go on their own.
It’s just a duel.”
He Ran said disapprovingly: "The old general has been fighting all his life, how could he say such unreasonable words? Does the old general really think that fighting between two armies is a child's play? How can I dare to believe you when you say you only defend but not attack? If it were someone else,
Naturally, I dare not doubt the words of the old general in this situation. But soldiers are treacherous. How can we trust others' words on the battlefield? This is a matter of life and death. The old general should weigh it for himself. That's all He Ran said. Yi Jun is now stationed
On the mountain, if the Zhao army withdraws, the Yi army will never come down the mountain. If the Zhao army does not withdraw, then He Ran will think that Zhao has declared war on Yi, and there will be nothing to talk about." After saying this, he turned around and returned.
