Although Xiao Dilu was severely injured by Ding Yanping, it was not fatal. He just couldn't fight in person anymore, but he knew that Ding Yanping would not live long because Ding Yanping's fatal injury was caused by him.
Under the protection of his younger brother Xiao Aguzhi, Xiao Dilu returned to his own formation and allowed military doctors to treat him while paying attention to the Qin army's situation.
In his opinion, Ding Yanping was mortally wounded but still fought so hard on the battlefield. He was destined to die. As long as Ding Yanping died, the morale of the Qin army would plummet, and it was naturally impossible to stop the Qiang army.
But what Xiao Dilu never expected was that Ding Yanping did not fall on the battlefield, but was escorted back to the rear by Wang Zhongsi before he died.
The soldiers of the Qin army did not see their general fall with their own eyes, even if they knew that Ding Yanping had been seriously injured, they would not think about dying in battle.
Xiao Dilu knew that Ding Yanping must be dead, so he asked the soldiers to shout, "Ding Yanping is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed." This actually inspired the Qin army's rebellious psychology.
After all, since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, no Qin army has voluntarily surrendered to the enemy, let alone surrendered to a foreign race.
Although the foreigners were all uncivilized barbarians in the eyes of the Qin soldiers, they were actually divided into different levels.
Yuanmeng, Manchu, and Nanman, these three races were at war with the Central Plains countries but were still able to establish independent countries. Naturally, they had the highest status among the foreign races.
Small countries such as Korea, Annan, and the Western Regions ranked second.
As for the Qiang, Xianbei, Shanyue, Japanese and other ethnic groups, their status is naturally ranked at the bottom. After all, slaves who have subjugated their country do not deserve the right to speak at all.
The Qiang people, who had already subjugated their country, were already at the bottom of the Qin Dynasty's contempt chain, but they tried to persuade the Qin Dynasty, the largest country in the world, to surrender. How could the Qin army, which was full of national pride, endure this?
Seeing Xiao Dilu publicizing the news of Ding Yanping's death in battle, Wang Zhongsi originally wanted to cover up the news. After all, the news was indeed fatal. However, as soon as the Qiang people's surrender command came out, the Qin army under his command became completely angry.
There was no need for Wang Zhongsi to take the initiative to explain anything. The Qin army's attention was not on Ding Yanping's death in battle, but on being humiliated by the Qiang people's persuasion to surrender, and they roared and launched a counterattack.
[Ding dong, Wang Zhongsi's skill "Yu Hu" effect 3 is activated. When fighting against foreigners, when serving as the chief general, the strength of his subordinates will be reduced by 10%. Including generals and soldiers, the strength of the entire army will be +1. When it is reduced by 30%, it will be +1. .
Currently, Wang Zhongsi's troops are reduced by 10%, and the entire army's military strength is +1: Wang Zhongsi's military strength has increased to...
Qin Yu’s military strength...
Baili Mingshi......
...]
Looking at the red-eyed Qin army, Xiao Dilu's eyes were full of disbelief. He couldn't believe that Ding Yanping died in the battle. Not only was the Qin army not affected, but it became stronger.
"Is this what the Han people say in the art of war, which says that a sad soldier must win?"
Xiao Dilu murmured to himself, but the faces of the Qin army officers were only angry, how could there be any sadness?
"General, the Qin army is not a mourning army, but an angry army." Deputy General Zhao Siwen said.
Xiao Dilu also saw that this Qin army was very angry, but where was the anger? Could it be that he was angry because of Ding Yanping's death?
Seeing that Xiao Dilu still didn't understand why, Zhao Siwen was silent for a moment and then said: "The soldiers of the Qin army are so proud and look down on all the forces outside the Central Plains. Maybe they feel that being persuaded to surrender by the Qiang people is a humiliation for them."
When Xiao Dilu heard this, he found it difficult to understand the pride of the Qin army. After all, in his opinion, these Qin soldiers were all low-level cows and horses. How strong would Da Qin be to have anything to do with you, a group of cows and horses? So what is there to be proud of?
Although Xiao Dilu didn't understand this, he didn't want to increase the casualties, so he quickly asked his men to stop persuading them to surrender. However, the anger of the Qin army had been ignited, and naturally it could not be extinguished by the Qiang people without persuading them to surrender.
Xiao Dilu was seriously injured, and he neither dared to charge into the formation himself, nor did he dare to let his younger brother Xiao Agu charge into the formation. After all, in addition to Ding Yanping, the other three Qin troops who besieged him were also very powerful. Xiao Agu alone They may not be able to win the battle, so they can only switch from attacking to cannibalizing, intending to swallow up this Qin army bit by bit.
Xiao Dilu's move made Wang Zhongsi relieved. After all, it was impossible for the Qin army to remain angry all the time, and if the Qiang army continued to attack fiercely without suffering casualties, the Qin army might not be able to persist until the end. .
Wang Zhongsi relied on Xiao Dilu's assists and his strong commanding ability to actually block the Qiang army that was five times more than his own with less than 6,000 Qin troops despite the death of his general. It can be said that he became famous in one battle. .
As for Li Jue on the other side, although he also had 6,000 against 30,000, the fighting strength of the Tubo army was much weaker than that of the Qiang and Sui armies, so his side was the easiest.
Although Li Jue's commander did not have the talented Wang Zhongsi, as the first general under Dong Zhuo who defeated Guo Si and Hua Xiong before Lu Bu surrendered, and later even held the emperor hostage as a warlord, so the commander's attribute was naturally not the same. will be too low.
Li Jue: Commander 93 (+3), Force 10000 (+4)), Intelligence 76 (+1), Politics 67 (+2), Charisma 79 (+1);
With Li Jue's commanding attribute of 93 points, he is naturally not outstanding among the Qin army, but he is more than enough to command an army of 6,000.
[Ding dong, Li Jue’s skill ‘King of Swords’ is activated, force +3, basic force 100 (+4), current force increased to 103; 】
[Ding dong, Sun Chongjin’s skill ‘King of Swords’ is activated, force +3, basic force 101 (+3), current force increased to 104; ]
[Ding dong, Li Siben’s skill "King of Guns" is activated, force +3, basic force 100 (+2), current force increased to 103; ]
In addition to himself, Li Jue's army also included two generals, Sun Chongjin and Li Siben. All three of them were powerful generals at the level of god generals.
On the other hand, with the exception of Dayan Mangbozhi and Xinuoluo Gonglu, the other generals on the Tubo army were between the first-class and the early super-class.
The Qin army's combat power is stronger than that of the Tubo army, and there are three powerful generals at the level of god generals in the battle, so even if they face the Tubo army that is five times their size, they can still fight with them.
However, the Tubo army had the advantage in strength after all, and in the fierce battle between the two sides, Li Jue's cousin Li Heng and nephew Li Li were successively killed by the Tubo general Xinuo Luo Gonglu.
Seeing that his cousin and nephew were killed in the battle, Li Cui was naturally furious, but he did not lose his mind because of this. He immediately ordered Sun Chongjin and Li Siben to surround and kill Xinuo Luo Gonglu.
Sun Chongjin and Li Siben joined forces. Xinuo Luo Gonglu was naturally no match. Seeing that the situation was not going well, he decisively chose to escape. However, the three first-class soldiers and one super first-class warrior who followed him, a total of four generals, were all defeated by Sun Chongjin. and killed by Li Siben.
Wang Zhongsi and Li Cui both blocked the incoming enemy and protected the safety of both wings of the Qin army. However, Yang Ren of the front army and Meng Tian of the middle army were still fighting fiercely with the front army of the coalition.
Great Qin already had the upper hand in the cavalry duel. The 10,000 Great Qin cavalry suppressed the coalition's 20,000 cavalry. With this advantage, the subsequent infantry duel would naturally be easier.
However, the previous casualties of the cavalry, coupled with the subsequent casualties of the two wings and the central army, the Qin army had lost nearly one-tenth of its strength due to the accumulated battle losses.
[Ding dong, Meng Tian's skill 'Yu Hu' effect 3 is activated. When fighting against foreigners, when serving as the chief general, every time the strength of his subordinates is reduced by 10%, the entire army's strength, including generals and soldiers, will be +1.

Current: Meng Tian’s force has increased to 113;

...]
The increase of Meng Tian's "Yu Hu" is not like Wang Zhongsi's "Yu Hu", which will only increase the 6,000 troops of his own army. Meng Tian's increase is the entire 37,000 Qin army.
After the "Yu Hu" group amplification effect was activated, the combat power of the entire Qin army was improved, especially Wang Zhongsi's troops. After the superposition, they received a 2-point increase in force.
Relying on the previous deployment and the increase in the "Yu Hu" group, Meng Tian used 10,000 cavalry and 19,000 infantry to suppress the 50,000 coalition front troops and was on the verge of completely defeating them.
When Yang Xingmi saw this, he couldn't sit still at all. After all, the 50,000 troops in the front army were not the Tibetan army, but the essence of the Sui army and the Qiang army. Their combat effectiveness was still very strong, but they were still suppressed by Meng Tian's 30,000 Qin army. .
There were a total of 60,000 troops on the left and right wings, but they were blocked by the Qin army's 12,000 troops, so that Yang Xingmi now only had 70,000 central troops available.
If we don't send more troops to the front army, it is very unlikely that the 50,000 most capable front army will be defeated by Meng Tian. Then the losses of the coalition forces will be great. Yang Xingmi and He will not be able to explain to the Tubo and Qiang people, so they must It is necessary to increase troops to the front army.
However, due to the terrain restrictions of Bison Mountain, even if all 70,000 Chinese troops were sent out, they would not be able to fight against the Qin army.
In addition, among the 70,000 troops of the Chinese army, there are still 30,000 Tibetan troops, and the combat power of the Tibetan army is really low.
Whether the Tibetan army is willing to go to war or not is not mentioned for now. Even if it is willing, I am afraid it will be a waste of limited fighting space and may even have counter-effects.
After thinking this, Yang Xingmi gritted his teeth and sent out the remaining 40,000 main forces of the Sui army.
With the Sui Army's 40,000-strong force joining the battle, the Qin Army's front and middle armies were immediately under increased pressure, and the advantages they had created before were gradually lost.
In fact, there is no way to do this. After all, the gap in strength between the two sides is too big. Although the Tubo army is inferior in combat power, the Sui army and the Qiang army are still capable of fighting.
It was actually very difficult for Meng Tian to suppress the 110,000 Sui, Tuqiang and Tuqiang coalition forces with his 41,000 Qin troops, and even almost defeat them.
But coupled with Yang Xingmi's 40,000 Sui troops, the strength of the coalition forces participating in the war has reached a full 150,000 troops. It is naturally difficult to win with such a small force in Meng Tian's hands.
Meng Tian naturally knew this. Although he still had a trump card that he had not revealed yet, this card could not be exposed for the time being. Apart from that, he had no other choice but to place his hope in Yang Ren.
As long as Yang Ren can defeat Xiao Moke, the morale of the Qiang army will definitely be affected, and the reduced combat effectiveness of the Qiang army can offset part of the Qin army's military disadvantage.
After Yang Ren obtained the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan, although he promised Meng Tian that he would be able to defeat Xiao Moke, it was obviously not so easy to implement it in actual combat.
After all, Yang Ren only had one chance to hit. If he failed to hit Xiao Moke, he would be the one who died, so he naturally had to be extremely cautious.
Yang Ren has been waiting and creating an opportunity to hit with one hit. Although his force value has increased to 123 after his skills are fully activated, there is still a gap when facing Xiao Moke with the same skills fully activated. Naturally, he is not so easy to hit. .
Although Yang Ren has suppression skills, Xiao Moke also has them. If both sides use them, they cancel each other out.
Therefore, Yang Ren's tactic is to consume Xiao Moke's physical strength. Once Xiao Moke's physical strength is almost exhausted and Xiao Moke is slow to react, he will definitely be able to hit Xiao Moke with another special move.
With this in mind, Yang Ren and Xiao Moke fought for forty rounds, nearly half of their physical strength was consumed, but Xiao Moke did not show any signs of decline.
If he continues to consume like this, Yang Ren's remaining physical strength and skill will not be enough for him to use the secret technique, so even if he is not sure of hitting it, he can only bite the bullet and do it.
Just when Yang Ren was about to burn the boat, with the increase of 'Yu Hu', his force value rose to 124, which also gave him the confidence to continue to consume Xiao Moke.
The two sides fought for another fifteen rounds. Yang Ren saw that Xiao Moke's momentum finally dropped, and his reaction was a little slower than before.
Yang Ren knew that Xiao Moke was starting to get tired, so he no longer held back and immediately used Yuqing's special skill: the five-fire Suzaku Spear;
