Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me to corrupt

Chapter 265
Ever since the news that the Qin army had attacked the plateau with firearms brought the news that the Toriti army was defeated and fled to the land of the sun, the coalition forces of the Western Regions have stepped up their efforts to shrink their forces in order to prevent them from being defeated one by one.

Therefore, in the land of the sun at this moment, there are nearly [-] Western Region coalition forces, and more than [-] Qiang fighters from the leading party.

Even though good and bad are mixed, it can be said that the army is strong!

Moreover, when Qin Mo was waiting for supplies at Chiyan Pass, and later when Meng Tian took over the command and led his army to come here after a long journey, the Allied Army of the Western Regions, the leading Qiang soldiers, and countless Qiang slaves in the Land of Sunshine, Never idle for a moment.

In response to the power of the Qin army's weapons and tactics brought by Toriti, they frantically improved and strengthened the defense measures of Stone City, and even diverted the water from the lake to build a moat.

The Stone City at this moment, although not impregnable, is undoubtedly a strong city!
Coupled with the winter supplies plundered from many Qiang tribes, they can implement a strategy of sticking to it and exhaust the Qin army under the city...

Even, when the vigor of the Qin army is exhausted, relying on its strong troops and strong city, it can fight a defensive counterattack and defeat it in one fell swoop...

This is a strategy that all the generals of the Western Regions, and even the leaders of the Qiang people who lead the way, all agree in their hearts. First let themselves be invincible, and then think about how to win the battle.

They don't use any Chinese art of war, but before thinking about victory, they think about defeat, which is a truth that all qualified leaders understand.

And Oduscu wanted to lead his troops to attack and intercept the Qin army halfway. In the eyes of the generals of the Western Regions and the leaders of the leading party, it was really a meaningless military move!

"Although our army is waiting for work at ease this time, with many soldiers and strong cities to rely on, you should also understand a truth..."

Oduscu raised his hand to interrupt everyone's dissuasion, and said coldly: "If you keep it for a long time, you will lose!"

"The Qin army is coming, if we don't resist, and just stick to our defenses, our morale will drop first."

"How can you persevere without morale?"

"If all the soldiers are afraid of the people of Qin like tigers and wolves, then this stone city is really made of copper and iron, how can it survive?"

This question hit the point, and everyone present was speechless.

Including Toriti, who was just humiliated, lowered his head and fell into deep thought in the face of Oduscu's questioning gaze, and was speechless.

When the two armies fight, morale comes first!
With morale, sheep can also overthrow tigers and wolves.

Without morale, tigers and wolves are just animals waiting to be slaughtered.

Just like when Toliti was at Chiyan Pass, after being swallowed up by the Qin army for [-] cavalry, he immediately lured the Qin army to attack the city that night.
The Odusgu in front of him is usually a nobleman who loves extravagance. The generals of the Western Regions and the leaders of the Qiang people who lead the way only regard him as a nobleman who relies on his family background.

But at this time, when he said these words, everyone suddenly understood why the Great Xia Kingdom sent troops to fight, and he was the main general, not the seemingly experienced Yaqier.

This noble son has real skills!
……

Seeing that everyone was silent, Odyscu said again: "I'm not afraid to tell you, the battle situation under the plateau is equally urgent."

"The imperial driver of the Great Qin Shihuang came to the border in person, and the morale of the Qin army was greatly boosted. At the same time, the two witches of the Zoroastrianism spread rumors, which made the believers in the coalition army turbulent..."

"I'm waiting on this plateau, and there is no way out!"

"If we are defeated this time, the Qiang tribes who are determined to resist the Qin people, don't expect to end well. Those weak bones who want to join the Qin people will definitely retaliate wildly against you!"

"There are also countries in the Western Regions... Jieshi, the prime minister of the Qin people, with the power of a great victory, gathered the weak Qiang people, swooped down from the plateau, and killed the hinterlands of the countries in the Western Regions. His generation destroyed the country and family, and it was only a matter of time." between!"

These remarks are alarmist and suspected of boosting other people's ambitions.

But what I have to admit is that every sentence is the truth, the Western Region coalition forces on the plateau, as well as the Qiang tribes leading the way, must not be defeated.

If you lose, don't even think about having good fruit!
And if you don't want to lose, then you can only boost the morale of your side's defenders, so that this stone city has hope of keeping it!
"The Qin army traveled a long distance and came across the snowy region. They must be exhausted. It is an excellent time to intercept halfway... I have been preparing for this day for a long time. On the only way for the Qin army, the battlefield has long been Choose!"

Odyscu strikes while the iron is hot, and expresses his plan: "If this interception is successful, it will break the myth of the Qin army's invincibility, and we can take advantage of the situation to annihilate them."

"At Jieshi, even those soft-boned Qiang tribes who are still resisting in the surrounding areas may have given up their plans to join the Qin people, and instead formed an alliance with us, making the plateau a monolith, echoing the Western Regions, and resisting Qin together. The oppression of man..."

"Even if we take a step back, even if the interception is not successful and the two attacks have lost each other, we can use this battle to break the fear of the Qin people in the hearts of the soldiers, and this stone city can be defended!"

The generals of the Western Regions and the leaders of the Qiang people who lead the way looked at each other in dismay, but they gradually showed signs of emotion.

Retreat and stick to it, the next strategy.

Relying on a strong city, relying on a large number of soldiers and generals, and then combining offense and defense, is a clear way!
At least, according to Oduscu, it is worth a try!

"General Oduscu, what if the interception fails and the Qin army chases after him instead?"

When everyone was distracted, an extremely unpleasant rhetorical question suddenly sounded, pouring a basin of cold water on everyone's heads.

"Humph~!"

Oduscu snorted angrily and looked at the speaker.

Everyone also frowned, looking for the sound.

The speaker was precisely Toriti who had been humiliated earlier, and he also knew that his words were extremely distasteful, so his expression was embarrassing at this time.

But, as the saying goes, before thinking about victory, think about defeat first.

He is well aware of the horror of the Qin army's combat power. Once the Qin army has the opportunity to use long-range strike firearms, under the attack of the devastating firearms, the reversal of interception and being chased will definitely only happen in an instant. Defend!
"If you lose, there are ways to lose."

"If the Qin army is really unshakable, then retreat back and stick to it to the end, and no one should take any chances... Either I will kill the Qin army outside the city, or the Qin army will kill us inside the city, that's all !"

Although Odyscu was annoyed, it seemed that he had already thought about such an outcome, so he answered crisply.

The generals of the Western Regions and the leaders of the Qiang people who led the way heard the meaning of death in the voice, and they were terrified, but excited by it.

The words are rough and the rationale is not rough, when the time comes, either they will kill Qin Jun, or Qin Jun will kill them, that's all!

Toriti was also sincerely convinced, and bowed his head to Oduscu respectfully, without further words.

Audusgu withdrew his gaze, and ordered again: "Assemble [-] elite Western Region allied forces, and [-] most stalwart Qiang warriors, follow me to the preset battlefield and intercept the Qin army!"

This time, no one objected and dissuaded them. The generals of the Western Regions and the Qiang leaders of the leading party bowed down respectfully and bowed down...

……

……

The Allied Forces of the Western Regions actively challenged the battle, looking for a chance to win.

The Qin army was also eager to fight, and the vanguard rode forward for thirty miles in the wind and snow, coming and going like honey bees, reporting the situation ahead to the Chinese army.

"Report to the general, the forward sentry cavalry has engaged in battle with the cavalry from the Western Regions on guard outside the Sunshine Land!"

"There are too many sentinels, check again and report again..."

"Here!"

Wearing battle armor, Meng Tian stood on a sleigh converted from a chariot, and looked through the binoculars at the land of the sun, which was already far away.

As the more than [-] troops got closer and closer to the land of sunlight, the continuous wind and snow seemed to have weakened a lot, and could no longer block people's sight.

"Order the whole army to march forward~!"

Meng Tian put down the binoculars and issued the military order loudly.

"Here."

Several personal guards clasped their hands in response, and rowed their sleds with command flags on their backs, scattered to the front and back of the marching ranks, and spread Meng Tian's military orders.

At the same time, the war drum behind Meng Tian's sleigh was beating rhythmically.

thump—

dong dong——

dong dong dong-

The sound of war drums echoed in the wind and snow, and the march of more than [-] troops stopped, and began to form amidst people shouting and neighing.

The Qin army, with less than [-] troops in the middle, quickly completed the transition from marching ranks to battle formations, stringed their bows and crossbows, unsheathed their knives and spears, and tightened their armor and leather belts.

It's not over yet, it's ready to go!
The [-] Qiang auxiliary army and the more than [-] Qiang slave army, without any surprise, pulled their hips. After three drums were beaten, they barely formed an irregular formation around the central army.

The auxiliary army of eight thousand Qiang people is the rear army, and the slave army of more than ten thousand Qiang people is the two wings and the front army!
thump—

The drums to remind the formation sounded the final accent, and the formation gradually quieted down.

Slightly tilted, the flag of the Chinese army waved forward, and the majestic drums sounded again. The drums were not in a hurry, and the huge army array, following the rhythm of the drums, slowly moved towards the land that was already looking at the sun.

In the van, Qin Mo, Danshu, and Zidu opened the glass window above their heads, leaned out half of their bodies, and looked at the sun with a binoculars.

The skylight of the carriage is not big, and the three of them are already crowded when they lean out. Xiaomei Lu didn't want to squeeze into Qin Mo's arms like two children, so she could only worry about it underneath, and asked curiously: "What does the Land of Sunlight look like? Isn't it?" full of sunshine?"

Danshu replied obediently: "There is no sunshine, and there is snow, but it is very thin, and you can see the ground..."

Although the advance of the army formation was slow, it kept moving forward, and it could be clearly felt that the wind and snow were getting smaller and smaller.

The snow on the ground is getting thinner.

In the binoculars, you can already see the bare ground, as well as headless corpses of cavalrymen from the Western Regions who were beheaded by the sentries of the Qin Army!
After seeing the corpses, Dan Shu was probably a little scared, so she retreated into the carriage.

And Zidu is still young, and he doesn't know what fear is. In his eyes, the corpse is not something scary. He still holds the binoculars together with Qin Mo, looking at it with relish...

"Uncle, look over there, the snow is moving~!"

The child seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly held a binoculars with one hand, and pointed at the increasingly thin snow in front of the army formation, and said in a milky voice.

Qin Mo was stunned for a moment, then his complexion changed slightly, and he quickly turned the binoculars to look at Zidu's finger.

That snow field does move.

Because there are people under the snow.

People who are covered in white cloth and hidden in the snow, if they don't concentrate, they won't be able to detect it at all!

The volley site chosen by Odus was ingenious. It was right at the border of the Land of Sunlight, and if we went any further, the snow had already thinly exposed to the ground.

At this moment, Qin Jun seems to be more alert, but in fact he is in the most relaxed mood!
Qin Mo's binoculars turned, and quickly searched the snow field near the general's formation, and then pushed all the generals into the carriage, and roared loudly: "Enemy attack~!!! There are enemy troops hidden in the snow~!!! "

He was in the middle army, when the roar came out, Meng Tian could hear it clearly, he quickly waved to the drummer behind him.

thump—

The drummers understood and immediately hit the next accent in unison.

Boom—boom—boom——

The sound of the drum stopped for a while, and then sounded again, becoming rapid and rumbling.

This is the signal to engage the enemy!
The Qin army, with less than three thousand troops in the middle, stopped immediately and began to set up long-range firearms.

The [-] Qiang auxiliary army of the rear army, and the more than [-] Qiang slave army of the two wings and the front army were a little confused, as if they hadn't figured out what happened.

The soldiers of the Qin army who were mixed in it had to shout loudly to meet the enemy, urging them to prepare for battle!
beep-

The sound of horns suddenly sounded from all directions in the army formation, dull and hasty.

The western allied forces in ambush, as well as the Qiang people who led the way, probably knew that they had been exposed and started to attack.

Countless figures emerged from under the snow, brandishing their weapons and roaring, charging towards the army formation.

There was even an ambush behind the army formation!

shhhhh--

The Qiang soldiers in the Qin army's formation were a little panicked when they saw the enemy soldiers suddenly jumping out from under the snow, and they all took up their crossbows and shot in all directions.

But in fact, the distance between the two sides has not yet entered the range of the crossbow, especially the enemy rushing forward, probably more than a mile away from the army formation, the feathered arrow shot past, lost its strength and fell halfway!

The Qin army, who was among the Qiang soldiers, and their leaders did not hesitate to slash the soldiers who shot arrows without hesitation, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Stop shooting arrows, those who don't listen to orders, beheaded immediately~! !!"

Opening a bow and releasing an arrow is a matter of strength. With the current distance, if the arrows are released indiscriminately, the crossbowman may not have the strength to release the arrow when the enemy rushes within the range.

So, don't stop it!
"Rockets, bed crossbows, diffusely shoot the invading enemy."

"Rockets, bed crossbows, diffusely shoot the invading enemies~!!!"

When the front, rear, left and right armies were in disarray, the central army was as stable as a rock, Meng Tian gave an order, and the guards shouted loudly.

The rocket team that set up the launcher immediately tore off the fuze.

woohoo-

Rockets flew over the heads of the Qiang soldiers outside and flew into the sky.

Shi Team, who operated the bed crossbow, dropped the hammer.

Boom boom boom—

Amidst the terrifying bang of the bowstring, large thunderbolt bullets also passed over the heads of the Qiang soldiers and shot into the sky.

The rocket bombs hit the nearby enemy, but they used a high-angle curved shot, the first to hit the second, but the large thunderbolt fired by the bed crossbow hit the oncoming enemy first.

boom boom-

The violent explosion resounded across the sky in an instant, and the battle began!
