Chapter 3128
The Battle of Qin and Xia Dayun.
This is definitely the largest and most critical war between the princes since the Five Kingdoms attacked Qin.
In the eyes of the world, it is completely comparable to the Battle of Zanggu Pass.
After this battle, it will determine the ownership of half of Xia’s territory, and even directly affect Xia’s national destiny.
For Qin, annexing Xia South has made it the largest vassal state among the five countries. In addition to Qin’s current national strength, no country can touch it alone.
But this is not the most important thing for Qin. The most important thing is that since then, Qin has penetrated into the Central Plains and bordered Wei, Chu, Jin, and Xia. It will be able to use Xia South as an outpost and then manage the four directions.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see the reason, so this significant battle has attracted worldwide attention.
As of the day Jiang Fan arrived, there were 400,000 Xia troops in Yuncheng, and 200,000 Qin troops.
Qin actually mobilized 400,000 troops, but after conquering the city, some of them needed to stay and garrison, waiting for troops from Qin to be sent to relieve the guard. Now this work has not been completed.
At the same time, Montaigne's troops could not participate in the war this time. He was ordered to stick to the north line and guard against other reinforcements from Xia.
Of course, there was no need to worry about the Yuzhou Army on the south line and Wei.
Therefore, the commander-in-chief Gao Qi could only mobilize 200,000 troops, which was twice as much.
However, there was a key point that the world did not know. In this battle, Gao Qi could not use the Lishan firearms.
Zhang Yi, the prime minister of Xia, threatened Qin to give up the big killer with his own 100,000 old and weak as a shield, and this was agreed by Jiang Fan and the empress.
"General, are you sure?"
Before arriving at Gao Qi's tent, Jiang Fan took a special walk and observed the Xia camp.
Yuncheng had obviously been greatly reinforced, and the originally wide moat was doubled and deepened. It is estimated that there are 100,000 soldiers and horses guarding the city, and the outer periphery is also densely packed with troops. With the defense of both inside and outside, Dayun's defense can be said to be impregnable.
With so many soldiers and horses, and the endless camps, Jiang Fan's scalp tingled.
Gao Qi was still as calm as a mountain.
"Lu Qinghou is good at fighting, but he is distracted. This battle will definitely lose."
Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that it was Zhang Yi's shady trick that disregarded human ethics.
"But he is extraordinary after all, and his skills are the best in the world. The general must be careful when dealing with the enemy."
Gao Qi just said lightly: "There is Gao in the world, and there are no famous generals in the world."
For the first time, the God of Killing Gao Qi showed his confidence in his dominance in words.
His momentum made Jiang Fan feel impressed. What a God of Killing Gao!
"Okay! In this case, this military advisor will watch the battle from the sidelines and watch the general decide the outcome of the battle!"
There are so many people watching the battle.
The two holy places, the five great countries, and all the huge forces in the Huayu land sent people.
Who can not care about this battle that changes the world pattern?
So, Dabei Mountain, nine miles north of Yuncheng, became the best place to watch the battle.
I don’t know how many people climbed Dabei Mountain to overlook this peerless battle.
However, there was no one at the best place to watch the battle, Yingzui Rock, the highest peak.
Because there were already three flags there, the Minghuang True Dragon Flag, the black-bottomed Xuanhuang Flag, and the black-and-white Fish Dragon Flag.
Everyone knew that this was the symbol of the Regent of the Great Qin, the Lord of Yuzhou, and the current Crown Prince. In other words, this place was reserved by him, and he would watch the battle here in person.
On the eighth day of September, the sky was blue, the clouds were like dragon scales, and it was a great weather in early autumn.
Yuncheng, both inside and outside, had soldiers and horses displayed outside the three city gates of the north, south, and west, with a full 300,000 troops.
The reason why the Xia army did this was because the Qin army took the lead in dividing its troops into three directions, and it was obvious that they wanted to attack the three gates at the same time.
The reason why there is no north gate is that Yunzhou is behind Dayan Mountain, and Yunzhou is the last pass to the east of Dayan Mountain. Yuncheng is also the only throat of southern Xia through Dayan Mountain. If the battle is lost this time, there is no need to guard this pass. From then on, the south of Qinling Mountains, the two sides of Dayan Mountain, and the entire southern part of Xia will change hands.
Opposite these three defenders, there are Qin army phalanxes, and the two sides are facing each other one mile apart. On the vast loess plain, a total of 500,000 troops are endless, as if they are going to cover the entire Yunzhou plain.
The flags are cold, the swords and guns are like forests, and the crowds are killing, but there is not even a sound. The whole world is frightened by this momentum.
In the face of this momentum, any individual, no matter how powerful, cannot show his ability and can only blend into it.
On the eve of the war, a divine unicorn came from the west and slowly climbed to the top of Eagle's Beak Rock.
The heroes from all sides looked at the young man in white clothes, who seemed like a banished immortal, and felt a lot of emotion.
Today, these big guys all understand that this man, who worked with the Queen of Western Qin to set up a trap, encircled seven countries in the world, and calculated all the heroes from all directions, was simply turning the tide.
Looking at him, almost all eyes were full of awe.
Thirteen years ago, he was just a fisherman, but now he has reached the top of the mountain and is admired by the world.
But the young man who was the best in his time did not have any airs. He nodded to everyone he met on the way up the mountain. Although he was calm and without a smile, he made people feel comfortable.
"Such a demeanor, the best in the ages, the world bows down..."
"You will be at the top of the mountain, overlooking all the small ones, born with divine beauty..."
Some people sighed sincerely, and no one objected.
Even the people from Taihua and Taiyue, although their expressions were complicated, did not cause any trouble at this time.
Along the way, Jiang Fan even invited several big guys to climb to the top to watch the battle together.
Among them are representatives of five countries including Sima Ru, Bai Shigong, Wei Liao, Yu Qingcheng, Xue Fang, and even Zhang Yi, Taihua Yi Hai, Taiyue Canxin and others from the enemy countries.
At this moment, even Jiang Fan’s enemies did not want to kill him, not only because he was not easy to kill now that he was a master of martial arts, but also because no one wanted to be the next target of the soul-stirring iron army at the foot of the mountain.
The last person Jiang Fan invited was actually the military strategist of Wei, Jia Xu.
"I am ashamed of your behavior, but I hope you remember that people should not be too harmful to the harmony of nature, otherwise they may not be able to escape unscathed. Today, I just want you to take a good look at my Qin Iron Army, because you will face it sooner or later, and they will kill you for the people of that city."
Jiang Fan just said so.
Jia Xu just smiled slightly and bowed: "I dare not stand too high, Xu respectfully declines."
A table had been set up on the Eagle's Beak Rock, with only wine, and a "human"-shaped table that no one had ever seen. Jiang Fan sat in the main seat, facing north and south, and the invited guests sat on both wings, just right, overlooking the mountain.
Jiang Fan's words were not just to show off, but it was definitely necessary. Therefore, knowing that it was a bloody battlefield, he had to act like this.
He wanted to show the world the confidence that Qin would win and show its invincible demeanor. Don't underestimate this kind of psychological warfare, it will have a great impact on the enemy and even all parties.
At the same time, he also wanted to let the Qin soldiers understand that he was watching them win this crucial battle, which was a boost to morale.
War is like this, momentum and spirit are the most important factors.
