I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 117 The entire army attacks directly to the Han army camp!
at the same time.

Liu Ju had also walked out of the tent and was strolling around the camp inspecting it as if nothing had happened.

This move was naturally not to experience the feeling of being inspected by a leader, nor to create a prince persona, but simply out of curiosity about how the Han army operated in the pre-war preparation stage. This can be regarded as a rare life experience.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness..."

However, no matter where he went, soldiers would immediately stand up and salute him, which naturally caused him some trouble. He could only smile and salute again and again:

"It's okay, it's okay. Just keep busy and ignore me."

During this process, he saw the Han soldiers helping each other put on armor.

I saw the Han soldiers carrying bundles of arrows of different specifications.

I saw the Han soldiers adjusting the crossbow strings and the sights for the Broken Crossbow, Jue Zhang Crossbow and Dahuang Crossbow.

I saw the scene where the Han soldiers were sharpening their swords and spears.

I saw the Han soldiers carrying sandbags to reinforce the wooden fences of the military camp.

We also saw the various expressions of the Han soldiers, some nervous, some excited, and some expectant, as well as many pairs of slightly trembling hands quietly hidden behind their backs.

Even the elite among the elite of the Han army were composed of people with complicated emotions.

But these big men's soldiers.

What they saw was a prince of the Han Dynasty who was calm and composed in the face of danger before the war and was willing to advance and retreat with them!
Liu Ju never thought that his unintentional action was actually quietly boosting the morale of every soldier, making everyone present look at him with admiration and have the highest respect for him.

As long as it's where he walked.

Those pairs of slightly trembling hands quietly hidden behind the back will gradually still down and then clench into solid fists!
"Why does this prince seem so different every few days? It's impossible to figure out what he's thinking and what kind of person he is?"

Li Guangli and a group of Jianzhang cavalry, who were following Liu Ju to inspect the camp, had more complicated thoughts in their minds than those of the generals.

They experienced the whole process, from Liu Ju's drunken behavior, to avoiding the oath-taking ceremony in order to sleep, to offering the "Sky Lantern" on the first day of arriving at the Central Army, to eating and sleeping in the barracks all day long, to refusing to go to the rear to take shelter when the Qiang people attacked, and to encouraging the soldiers in the camp in the face of danger...

They saw the most complex image of a crown prince in Liu Ju.

The good and the bad.

Confused, sober.

Childish and rational.

Flamboyant, calm.

A sharp-tongued person, yet approachable.

These are all the characteristics of Liu Ju, which in their eyes is a complete chaos of contradictions.

There is no one or a few words in this world that can fully summarize Liu Ju. The closer you get to him, the more you feel that he is a man of hidden wisdom and appears foolish.

Everyone says that the will of God is hard to predict.

But why does it feel like the mind of this prince, who is only sixteen years old, is so unpredictable?
Is this the blessing of royal blood?

Especially Li Guangli.

Today, even if he doesn't want to, he has to admit that he was indeed self-righteous before.

After following the army for these days, he had already seen the demeanor of the Han soldiers.

This was a well-trained and powerful army. They were by no means as incompetent as he had previously thought. On the contrary, they possessed qualities that were difficult for him to achieve at the moment. He had no right to comment on them, let alone comment on the style of the Han army.

At least he is far from worthy of it now!
At the same time, he also saw a prince who was completely different from what he had imagined.

This prince was even more complicated. He felt that anyone who looked down on this prince would be the most blind person in the world...

……

As the scouts' reports became more frequent, the atmosphere in the military camp gradually became solemn.

Every soldier knew what was going on.

The war is coming.

The scouts have sent back the most accurate news. This time the Qiang people are indeed approaching with a large army. Although there is no exact number, it is estimated that there are at least 70,000 to 80,000 of them. It is no exaggeration to say that they are moving in full force!
Gongsun Jingsheng's vanguard camp had received orders to leave the camp ahead of time. They all held large shields and stood behind the staggered chariots.

Behind them was the Halberd Battalion, armed with halberds. They were the backup for the Xiandeng Battalion and also the important line of defense in front of the main camp.

The temporary camp was just a simple wooden fort. It could not be defended like a city with a moat and tall and solid walls. Otherwise, the city could be easily breached by just using fire attacks.

Therefore, the Han army had to send troops out of the camp to attack the enemy with chariots, shields and halberds.

Behind the shields and halberds were the real trump cards of the Han army, several battalions of military officers and crossbowmen.

Eight thousand soldiers had already formed a strict battle formation and were ready for battle...

Liu Ju asked Li Xi, although the Han crossbow is powerful, it is very difficult to pull the string and load the arrow. Therefore, these soldiers need to shoot in rows or several rows in turn to ensure that the arrows are continuous and the enemy cannot find a chance to charge.

And even if the enemy breaks through the shield and halberd and gets close.

These brave men were by no means prey to be slaughtered at will, quite the opposite.

They were all elite soldiers with extraordinary physical strength. With their swords drawn, they could fight against many enemies at once. They were extremely brave. The soldiers who fought bravely at that time would only make the enemy army more terrified...

In such an atmosphere.

Li Xi had already climbed onto the central military platform, on which stood a large black Han army flag. The flag fluttered in the strong wind, making a rustling sound.

When Liu Bang unified the world, he regarded Han as the symbol of fire, so the military flags at that time were red.

Later, Liu Bang appointed Zhang Cang as prime minister and changed it to water virtue, so the military flag was black, which has continued to this day.

However, after a few years when Liu Che changes the era name, he will use Han as the earth virtue and the military flag will be changed to yellow. But now it still has to be the solemn and cold black.

at the same time.

Accompanied by Guo Zhen, Liu Ju had also climbed up to the flag tower, which was higher than the general's platform and had a better view.

The land in front of the camp was flat and Liu Ju looked around.

About a moment later.

A mass of Qiang people, like a mudslide, finally appeared in sight, with a particularly great momentum...

……

the other side.

"The Han army camp is ahead. Order the entire army to form a battle array and prepare to attack the Han army by surprise with lightning speed!"

When Liu Ju saw the Qiang army, the Qiang leader also saw the Han army camp.

Nacuo, the leader of the Fengyang Qiang, immediately drew his sword, held it high and gave orders loudly.

If there were any Han soldiers present, they would be able to see at a glance that the sword he was wearing was actually just a ring-handled sword that the Han army was equipped with many years ago, and it could not be compared with the magical weapons that have been gradually equipped in recent months.

However, for the Qiang people, even for a ring-handled sword of this level, only some of the best and bravest soldiers among the Qiang people have the opportunity to be rewarded.

So about half an hour later.

"Ugh……"

Wu Kun, the Xiongnu Tuye Captain, looked helplessly at the sunset glow that had been completely dyed red by the setting sun, and then looked at the Qiang army behind him that could only be considered to have completed its formation. He sighed in his heart and could not help asking:
"Two leaders, is that enough? If we delay any further, the Han army will probably be fully prepared. Besides, it will be very disadvantageous to our army if it gets darker."

He was really worried.

With the military quality of the Qiang people, if they were to wait until night to fight against the well-trained Han army, they would be easily frightened by the Han army and cause a roar in the Qiang army, which would be a real disaster.

"It should be almost done, right?"

Nacuo and Dangji looked at each other, and then looked at Wukun, as if they were asking each other, and also as if they were asking Wukun.

"..."

Wu Kun almost cried out loud, thinking to himself, "Brothers, are you really here to fight?"
Was it a mistake for my Chanyu to seek cooperation with you from the very beginning?

After a few breaths.

No one knew what information the two leaders had gotten from each other's eyes. Suddenly, their gazes fixed, and they raised their sabers again:

"It should be almost time. Ignore the people behind for now and just teach them to catch up quickly!"

"Pass on my order. Beat the drums. Send out the whole army to attack the Han army camp!"

"Kill!!!"
