Chapter 262 The two armies confront each other(1/2)
The roar of King Yi Quhan of Yiqu stirred up in the royal tent, immediately igniting the fierce fighting spirit in the hearts of the surrounding Yiqu nobles.
The next moment, a young man wearing animal skin stood up, but it was none other than the current Prince Yiqu Cang.
A firm look appeared in his eyes, and Yiqu said loudly: "Father, there was no enmity between me, Yiqu, and the State of Wei in the past. This time the army of the State of Wei is pressing down on the border, it is really too much."
"Although Wei is a powerful country in the world, I, Yiqu, cannot be easily bullied."
"I, Yiqu Cang, the prince of the Yiqu Kingdom, am willing to listen to my father's orders and swear to the Kingdom of Wei that I, Yiqu, am powerful with the sharp knife in my hand."
Yiqucang's impassioned words fell in the royal tent, but they made the war in the hearts of the surrounding Yiqu nobles even more raging.
One after another, the Yiqu nobles stood up. They faced the figure on the throne in front of them, and their voices for war could be described as one after another.
"I am willing to listen to the king's instructions."
"Your Majesty, let us use the sharp knives in our hands to teach those Wei people who insulted our Yiqu a lesson."
"Slit their throats and use their flesh and blood to worship the gods of Yiqu."
…
Voices for war kept ringing in his ears, but Yi Quhan did not express his attitude for a long time, just staring ahead with his cold eyes.
A moment later, when Yi Quhan's tall figure stood up from the throne, the king's tent immediately returned to calm.
Everyone's eyes turned to Yi Quhan at this moment, and they were looking forward to what King Yiquhan could say at this moment.
"We, the warriors of Yiqu..."
Yi Quhan's voice echoed in the king's tent. His eyes swept across everyone in the king's tent as he moved, and finally landed in the southeast.
Under the witness of everyone, he slowly raised his arm, pointing his finger forward, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"That's the direction where my enemy in Yiqu, Wei State, is."
"We Yiqu has never been an enemy of the Wei State, but in just one month, a large area of our Yiqu territory fell into the hands of the Wei State."
"The State of Wei clearly wants to destroy our Yiqu..."
The sound suddenly stopped at this moment, and Yi Quhan's eyes became a little more filled with hatred, and his eyes swept around him again.
"We, the warriors of Yiqu, the Wei State wants to destroy us, Yiqu, you..."
"Promise?"
Yi Quhan's roaring inquiry resounded in the ears of everyone in the royal tent. After a brief silence, a firm response appeared.
"No!"
"No!"
…
Gradually, the chorus of responses condensed into a roaring sound. Listening to the harsh sound in his ears, the corners of Yi Quhan's mouth curled up a bit.
Although the enemy is facing us, we are united and we don’t know who will win.
His right hand pulled out a sharp dagger from his waist, and the blade cut a wound on his left hand. Blood continued to gush out along with the raised left hand.
Stimulated by the blood, the fighting spirit in Yiquhan's chest reached its peak at this moment, "We, the warriors of Yiqu, let us defeat the powerful enemy in front of us and embark on the journey south just like we did decades ago."
"When the time comes, I, the king, will enjoy Wei's land, wealth, and women with you."
"Kill the enemy!"
"Kill the enemy!"
"Kill the enemy!"
…
Fifty miles outside Yuzhi City, the Wei army camp was located.
"Bah!"
A loud cry sounded from the sky, and a black arrow flew across the sky.
Vibrating its powerful wings, the goshawk soaring in the sky overlooks the earth with sharp eyes, as if an emperor is inspecting his territory.
When a flash of bright red appeared in its pupils, its wings exerted force in an instant, and it quickly descended with unparalleled power.
Just when a tragic fall was about to occur, the goshawk suddenly stopped its body and landed steadily on the red Wei flag.
Under the Wei flag, Wei soldiers wearing armor stood holding halberds. They followed the sound with equally sharp eyes.
Seeing that there was only a goshawk standing on the flag at this moment, these soldiers did not pay too much attention and just looked aside with vigilant eyes.
"Bang bang bang..."
Suddenly, the passionate sound of war drums sounded in the camp, and the goshawk's sharp eyes looked in the direction of the sound.
After a period of time, it saw a number of Wei army generals entering a large tent one after another.
"General Zhai Liang, General Sun Boling are here..."
Outside the big tent, the loud sound of the trumpet sounded, which immediately cheered up the spirits of the Wei army generals waiting inside the tent.
Afterwards, under the solemn gazes, the two generals Zhai Liang and Sun Boling respectively commanded the Hexi Army and Qin Dong Army strode into the big tent.
Two figures, an old man and a young man, walked slowly past the generals who were lined up on both sides of the tent. What caught their eyes were the serious faces.
Finally, when the footsteps passed these Wei army generals, they both stopped at the last step.
Looking at the calm face in his field of vision, as a newcomer leading an army for the first time, Sun Boling spoke first.
"General Zhai Liang is a veteran on the battlefield, and he is also my senior."
"For decades, the general led the army to guard Xihe and protect our land west of Hexi. It can be said that he has done great service to our country Wei."
"Bo Ling has taken over the military power for the first time and is still a little unfamiliar with military matters. I will have to ask General Zhai Liang for more advice in the future."
After finishing the words in his mind in one breath, Sun Boling directly met Zhai Liang's gaze and looked at him.
"Bo Ling believes that the commander of this battle should be General Zhai Liang."
"General Birling's words are wrong."
Zhai Liang didn't seem to care about Sun Boling's words recommending him to be the commander. He looked at the young man in front of him with admiration in his eyes.
"Zhai Liang is indeed a lot like General Chang Boling in terms of age, but in terms of military and strategic talents, he thinks he is not as good as the general."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "If General Boling had not presented the strategy of Yi Canal to you, how could our army have reached Yuzhi City."
"In the past, when Wu Zi helped Lu defeat Qi, he was also on the battlefield for the first time. General Bo Ling's talent in military strategy is not inferior to that of Wu Zi, so why can't he lead our army to victory?"
After saying these words loudly, Zhai Liang made a military salute to Sun Boling, "General Zhai Liang, please take General Boling as the commander-in-chief."
"Please ask General Birling to serve as the commander-in-chief."
Just as Zhai Liang finished speaking, a chorus of requests rang out from the team on the right, which was none other than the general of the Hexi Army under Zhai Liang.
"Please take charge, General."
Before the voices of the Hexi Army could be heard, the generals of the Wei Army on the opposite side shouted in unison that these were the Qin Dong Army under Sun Boling.
The sight of Zhai Liang beside him rose up, swept from the Hexi Army to the Qin Dong Army, and finally returned to Zhai Liang.
With a flash of determination in his eyes, Sun Boling immediately took a step forward, came to the position of the general, and turned to face the generals.
"Thanks to the trust of General Zhai Liang and other generals, Boling is allowed to serve as the commander-in-chief of this battle."
"Berling hereby vows to do his best to lead the army and soldiers to win this battle."
"If the channel of justice is not destroyed, it will never be returned."
"If the channel of justice is not destroyed, it will never be returned."
…
Accompanied by Sun Boling's roar, the shouting continued in the big tent for a long time. It was not until he signaled the generals with his eyes that it slowly stopped.
When everything around him calmed down, Sun Boling's eyes fell on a person in front of him, "Where is the leader of the scout camp?"
"The end will be here."
Looking at the figure standing in front of him, Sun Boling asked in a deep voice: "In recent days, our army has successively sent a large number of elite scouts in the direction of Yu Zhi. What is the specific situation?"
Faced with Sun Boling's inquiry, the leader of the scout camp immediately bowed slightly and responded: "General Qi, the Yiqu Royal Court has been mobilizing troops since my army attacked Yiqu."
"According to the information investigated by frontline scouts, there are currently about 80,000 troops in Yuzhi City, and most of them are cavalry."
After hearing the news reported by the scout camp leader, Sun Boling nodded slightly.
Yiqu originally lived in Guanzhong, and most of its ancestors made a living by farming and hunting.
Later, as the Qin State gradually became stronger and stronger, Yiqu was driven north from Guanzhong, and gradually adapted to the nomadic lifestyle of the grasslands.
The vast pastures have provided Yiqu with strong horses, and the life on horseback has gradually made the people of Yiqu become natural cavalry.
The 80,000 Yiqu cavalrymen who came and went like the wind in front of them were the formidable enemies Qin had to face this time.
Thoughts echoed in his chest, and silence spread in the tent, until Sun Boling suddenly raised his head, with an infinite sense of solemnity in his eyes.
"Where are the generals?"
