Chapter 1096 This Fire Is a Good Omen for the Coalition Forces! Prime Minister Li and Others Are Quite Good!

Li Ke showed a fake smile that anyone could see, and said, "No, it can't be possible?"

"That's more than 70,000 troops!"

"Even if fire and water are ruthless, it's impossible to swallow up more than 70,000 troops silently!"

Dalai also said repeatedly, "Yes, father."

"The Qin Chang'an Jun is only a false god after all, not a true god. How can he take away the souls of more than 70,000 soldiers overnight?"

"And Huugjile's troops have already left Shanggu Pass. Huugjile's troops only need to continue to accelerate to the northwest to leave the sea of ​​fire."

"I think a large number of our soldiers have definitely left the sea of ​​fire."

"It's just that the fire is too fierce now, and the front troops can't send messengers to cross the sea of ​​fire to deliver the message."

Bateer did not agree with Li Ke and Dalai's comfort.

But Bater couldn't help but have some fantasies in his heart.

What if?

What if they can survive!

Bater said in a deep voice: "This king prays to Changshengtian, hoping that the proud sons of my Tungus can return to the grassland."

"This king prays to Miren Zamulha, hoping that Miren Zamulha can protect the warriors of my Tungus from the fire of the false god."

"But our army has to be mentally prepared for more than 70,000 warriors to be buried in the fire of the false god."

"Do you warriors have a good plan to help this king?"

Dalai said uncertainly: "Otherwise, our army should go north as Touman Chanyu advised?"

"If the whole army goes north, even if it cannot win, at least it can protect our main force and join forces with the Dai army."

Bateer frowned subconsciously.

If there is a choice, Bater really does not want to start a decisive battle in such a narrow place as Dukang, so Bater decisively rejected Touman Chanyu's advice.

But now, Bater hesitated.

If the whole army went north, even if the battle would be a big defeat, Bater could at least let the main force escort him to fight his way back to Donghu.

So this time, Bater did not directly reject Dalai's advice, but looked at other generals and asked: "Do you have any other good advice?"

In the face of Bater's question, all the generals were silent, and almost all of them looked embarrassed.

The war situation and battlefield environment of this battle were very unfamiliar to the Xiongnu and Donghu generals, and their past experience was useless in this battle.

They even needed to spend a lot of energy to adapt to the battlefield, and they didn't even know how to adjust the tactics suitable for this battle, let alone thinking at the strategic level.

Only Li Ke stroked his chin with his right hand, looking thoughtful.

Bater immediately turned his gaze to Li Ke and asked sincerely: "This place was originally the territory of Yan State. Prime Minister Li should be very familiar with it."

"And Prime Minister Li should also know this war situation best."

"Does Prime Minister Li have any good ideas to help me?"

Li Ke first bowed his hands, then frowned and said: "I am thinking about it."

"Is Qin Changan Jun stupid, or does he have other plans?"

Hearing this irrelevant answer, Bater became interested: "Oh?"

"Why did Prime Minister Li come up with such an idea?"

Li Ke said seriously: "I think the fire in Puyin Xing was probably set by Qin Changan Jun."

Batter said decisively: "I think this fire was definitely set by Qin Changan Jun, the false god!"

Li Ke nodded slightly He said, "If the king thinks so, I am even more confused."

"Forgive me for being so bold as to think about the worst possible scenario that the commander just mentioned."

"The troops of King Youguli, the troops of Huugjile, the great Danghu, and the troops of Dai Xiangsui were all burned to death by the flames!"

"Yes!" Li Ke changed the subject and asked, "So what?"

Dalai's eyes widened, "So what?"

"That's more than 70,000 soldiers of our army!"

Li Ke asked again, "Even if we don't talk about the total strength of the coalition forces, how many soldiers do we have alone?"

Dalai subconsciously said, "More than 470,000."

Dalai was still unwilling to accept the fact that more than 70,000 soldiers were all burned to death, so he included the three troops of Arsalan when calculating the strength of the troops.

Li Ke nodded slightly and said: "Our army has more than 470,000 soldiers!"

"Even if more than 70,000 of them were killed in the fire, our army still has 400,000 soldiers!"

"The death of more than 70,000 soldiers is a heavy blow to our army, but it is not a serious injury. It is just a small defeat for the coalition forces."

"But, Puyin Xing has turned to ashes!"

Turning his head to look at the fire that illuminated half the sky, Li Ke said firmly: "Although this fire is strong, it can't be repeated."

"This fire will also drive away all the Qin army ambushes on both sides of Puyin Xing."

"Therefore, after this fire, Puyin Xing must be an extremely safe and smooth road with no ambushes."

Ba Tel's eyes lit up: "Prime Minister Li is saying that this fire is of great benefit to our army?"

Li Ke shook his head: "After all, this fire devoured more than 70,000 warriors of our army. It can't be considered a great benefit, but it can only be said that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages."

"Now the weather is cold and the north wind is howling. It won't take long for the ground burned by the fire to be walkable."

"After the fire leaves the Puyin Xing line for a few days, our army will be able to enter Dai easily and safely through Puyin Xing."

"Not only can we regain food and grass, join forces with the troops of Jicheng, but we can also rush to a wide area, allowing the Tungus warriors and the Hu warriors to come to the battlefield where they are most suitable for them to perform."

"Fight to the death with the Qin army!"

Bateer's voice was a little more fiery: "A decisive battle with Qin in Dai is far better than a decisive battle with Qin here!"

"If we can really return to Dai, my Tungus cavalry will be able to run freely and show its might!"

Li Ke nodded lightly: "So I was thinking about it just now."

"Is it that Qin Chang'an has other plans and wants to achieve something with this fire?"

"Or is it that Qin Chang'an is stupid and unwise, and he gave a good opportunity to our army in vain."

"Or is it that Qin Chang'an is far away from here, so he handed the arson to one of his generals, and this general was afraid of our army, so he set the fire early before our army entered Puyinxing, so that Qin Chang'an's strategy was completely lost!"

The more Bater listened, the more , his eyes became brighter: "What Li Xiang said makes sense!"

"Although Qin Chang'an Jun stole some of Miren Zamulha's power, the false god is just a false god after all."

"The flame is not his incarnation, and he cannot see through everything in this world."

"Now that Qin Chang'an Jun is hundreds of miles away, it is normal for him to have some omissions!"

Erileqin and other Donghu generals also nodded in agreement: "I think this fire may be Miren Zamulha's warning to our army!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Miren Zamulha came to the world and took away more than 70,000 warriors to serve him. At the same time, he cleansed Puyin Xing with his mercy and cleared a safe route for our army!"

"Thank you for the blessing of the merciful Miren Zamulha!"

Li Ke: ? ? ?

Li Ke couldn't figure out how his topic was led to thanking Miren Zamulha.

But it doesn't matter, Li Ke's goal has been achieved.

Li Ke anxiously bowed and said, "This is just my personal opinion."

"My wisdom is far inferior to that of Qin Chang'an Jun, and I have been defeated by Qin Chang'an Jun several times. This time, I may not have thought of Qin Chang'an Jun's true purpose."

"My personal opinion can only give the king some reference."

Bateer laughed loudly and said, "You southerners are too modest!"

"Is what Li Xiang said wrong? Absolutely not!"

Looking at the rising fire, Bater said firmly, "Such a fire will cleanse everything in the world."

"Even if Qin Chang'an Jun is a false god, he can't survive in front of Miren Zamulha, let alone the Qin soldiers."

"Puyin Xing is the cleanest and safest road now."

"As long as our army waits here for a few days, waiting for the sea of ​​fire to go away and for Puyin Xing to cool down a little, we can return to the vast Dai land through this road."

"In Dai land, we will fight to the death with the Qin army!"

Bateer hit his heart with his right fist and said sincerely: "I was frightened by the flames for a while, but fortunately, Li Xiang reminded me to wake up."

"Otherwise, I almost missed the blessing of Miren Zamulha."

"Not only am I ashamed of Tungus, but I am even more ashamed of Miren Zamulha!"

Dalai and other coalition generals also hit their hearts with their right fists, looking at Li Ke with friendly eyes.

Southerners are different from southerners.

Li Xiang's people are quite good!

Li Ke hurriedly bowed his hands in return: "Your Majesty, you are too kind!"

How come these people are thanking me after being sold out!

Bater laughed heartily: "I am not a southerner, so I don't know how to lie."

"I praise Prime Minister Li because I really think he is a talented person!"

"I will remember Prime Minister Li's merits in his advice. After this battle, I will definitely give him more cattle and sheep as a reward!"

"Pass on my order!"

"All troops will set up camp. The troops of King Zuo Guli will be stationed in the north, and the troops of King Gaoyi will be stationed in the south. I will lead the central army to support them."

"The whole army will be on alert for the enemy, and the scouts will keep an eye on the fire at any time."

Li Ke took the initiative to say: "Puyin Xing will take at least ten It will take days to pass, but the Qin army is attacking fast. "

"To ensure that there is no risk, I will dig traps and set up defense lines around the military camp to resist the enemy's offensive. "

"But the Yan army soldiers have just escaped from the sea of ​​fire, and their morale is low for a while. "

"Please transfer more soldiers so that I can quickly dig out defensive fortifications. "

Bateer's eyes lit up: "Prime Minister Li has this intention, very good!"

"This king orders Dalai to be Prime Minister Li's deputy and to assist Prime Minister Li with all his strength!"

The Donghu and Xiongnu both love and fear city defenses and position fortifications.

They hate that the city defenses are strong and the fortifications are solid, so they can't start, but they hope that they can be protected by strong city defenses and fortifications.

So Bater and Touman both built their own cities in the style of Chinese cities, but they didn't know how to do it.

Now that Li Ke has taken the initiative to propose to arrange fortifications for the army, Bater is not only delighted, but also hopes that Dalai can learn from him!

Dalai also hit his heart with his right fist without hesitation: "I am willing to fully support Prime Minister Li."

"Whatever Prime Minister Li needs, I will do my best to arrange it."

Li Ke smiled and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust!"
