"Your Majesty, please respond immediately. Even if our army is damaged, we will not let it cross the Great Wall."
Meng Tian's expression changed drastically and he immediately asked the emperor for instructions.
If the emperor was absent, he could send out troops on his own, but when the emperor came, he asked for instructions sensibly.
After a period of competition, the Xiongnu had figured out the situation of the Qin army. Naturally, the Qin army also knew something about the Xiongnu. After understanding the situation, they also marched in large numbers, proving that they were ready to launch a general offensive.
This is a life and death battle, and a brutal battle is about to come.
If defeated, the Xiongnu would capture Shangjun and push directly into the north and Hedong. This would be a disaster for the Qin Dynasty, so the Xiongnu could not be allowed to break through this line of defense.
Meng Tian knew it, and the emperor knew it even more.
The emperor seemed very calm, waved his hand to calm down Meng Tian, and said: "Don't worry, you only need to send a large army to prevent and shock, and leave the other matters to Li Zhao."
"But..." Meng Tian glanced at Li Zhao with some hesitation in his eyes.
The Great Wall's defense line was a big matter, and no one was more familiar with it than him. If he changed people rashly at this moment, he might have an accident.
"Don't worry too much, they're just Huns, they're just chickens and dogs."
Just a chicken and a dog?
Meng Tian almost wanted to rant, but he still held back. He knew very well how powerful the Huns were, and when he was about to persuade him, he was rejected by the emperor.
The emperor left Meng Tian, his confident expression undiminished, and glanced at Li Zhao, saying: "Boy, the rest is up to you, don't let me down."
What else could Li Zhao say? He felt that the emperor was overconfident. He really didn't know where the emperor's confidence came from, but he did not refuse. The emperor blindly believed in him, and he would not let the emperor down.
"Forget it, Zhao will make it impossible for the Xiongnu to come back." He didn't panic, "Your Majesty can just watch from the side."
"Haha! You are worthy of being the Marquis of the Great Qin Pass. I will lead all the officials to see it."
The emperor burst into laughter.
In this situation, only two people were actually calm, but the others were worried and looked like they were facing a disaster, especially Baiguan, who tried his best to maintain a calm expression on the surface, but was trembling in his heart. When they got up, some people's legs were trembling, and some people were sweating on their backs.
As soon as they arrived at Shangjun, His Majesty said that he wanted to show them. Isn't this the battlefield in person?
The Xiongnu launched a large-scale attack, but the emperor came to the scene in person. They came to the scene in person. How could it be seen that they were willing to die? Are they going to die? They are important officials of the imperial court! How could he die like this?
Some people are wailing in their hearts.
"I will not disappoint Your Majesty! Let's go." Li Zhao was not pretentious at all. After handing over to the emperor, he ordered people to find Zhang Hanlin and Xiao He, and at the same time asked people to fetch light horns from the baggage cart.
When preparing for the war, he prepared a lot of things, absolutely modern things, which would definitely shock everyone. Of course, he would not say it out loud at the moment.
Xiao Helai was responsible for arranging these things.
Zhang Hanlin was originally stationed at Shanglinyuan in charge of intelligence matters, but this time Li Zhao brought him here to let him report the enemy's situation as soon as possible. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will be victorious in any battle!
After Zhang Hanlin arrived, Li Zhao ordered him to disperse all the nearby base station members to key points and pay attention to every move of the Huns. At the same time, he asked Zhang Hanlin to notify the sniper team so that they could be prepared to snipe the Xiongnu leader at any time.
What is Xiao He going to do? In fact, there were quite a few, and it could be said that he was the busiest. After they arrived, Li Zhao quietly gave instructions, and Xiao He left quickly, leading a team of 100 logistics supplies, heading towards the battlefield.
Everyone was confused about Xiao He's departure, but they didn't ask.
Anyway, the entire command is in Li Zhao's hands, and it's up to him how he handles it.
After the preparations for the war were in place, Li Zhao took the trumpet from his attendants and walked towards the eight thousand troops who were quickly assembled. He cleared his throat without any nervousness before the war. He raised the trumpet and turned on the switch and asked: "I, the Great Qin Rui Shi, Do you have confidence?"
There were not many people, and under the amplification of the loudspeaker, the sound was like a roar, reaching everyone's ears clearly.
The eight thousand troops were no longer surprised by such a sound because they had seen it before, but the soldiers in Shangjun had never heard it before. They were startled and looked at Li Zhao with wide eyes.
The sound was too loud, especially Fusu, who turned to look at the emperor, hoping to get an explanation from the emperor.
The emperor grinned and said disapprovingly: "These are not new things. We have long been accustomed to them in Shanglinyuan. It is not surprising. This is a trumpet, which can amplify the sound. Of course, it is also the lowest level. There are also more advanced ones, which can be used for roaring. Shocked millions of people.”
Ying Zheng was a little proud as he spoke, but in the ears of Fu Su and Meng Tian, it was so shocking. A roar could shake millions of people. What a divine thing it was!
"Of course, these are ordinary things. Once this happens, you can go back to Shanglin Garden and it will be even more shocking."
Ying Zheng didn't want to explain too much, just a few words, but it was enough for the two of them to chew on.
Looking at the Eight Thousand Army, the response received was not satisfactory. In fact, the soldiers holding swords and halberds had no confidence in the Huns who had powerful weapons, even though they knew that the general had brought deadly weapons.
"Hoo ho ho!"
After a while, eight thousand troops responded, but they were unable to shake the whole valley. This was a lack of confidence. Li Zhao didn't take it seriously, and he didn't mean to reprimand him. He didn't expect these people to have much confidence, as long as they could Use your hands, as long as you can carry it.
"Okay, you all can follow the combat arrangements and act as ordered, but there is no need to be too nervous."
He didn't want to make the scene too serious, and he didn't want to talk nonsense. Some things can only be gained by doing them. It's normal to be nervous and lack confidence before doing them.
"Also, the infantry must not forget to pick up the killer weapon when attacking."
Well!
Everyone was whispering to each other. They couldn't understand what they were saying. The Huns had a big weapon, but they only had halberds in their hands. How could they pick up a big weapon?
Yes, it is picking up, the general said with certainty, it is picking up, not robbing.
The person holding the halberd grabs the weapon of the person holding the big weapon. It sounds awkward to them, as if an egg can definitely break a stone. It's as ridiculous as it sounds.
"Let's all set off with General Meng!"
The other generals' speeches before the battle were all very lively and passionate, and their morale was high, but Li Zhao was better, he just said a few incomprehensible words and then gave up!
It would be fine if these words could boost the morale of the soldiers, but they were all filled with disappointment. It didn't seem like they were facing a war at all, but more like childish play.
Meng Tian and others not far away frowned.
Meng Yi accepted the order, and without saying a word, he led the troops onto the Dongfeng chariot, greeted the giant weapons behind, and drove to the battlefield.
Li Zhao had already made arrangements with him when he came, and he also gave the orders. Now he could go directly to the battlefield.
After the troops left, Meng Tian also asked his lieutenant to make arrangements. All they had to do was to frighten the defense, but they didn't have to do anything. Of course, after facing the Huns for so long, they had already done what they could, and there was no need to go to war again.
After Li Zhao finished his instructions, he walked towards the emperor with a smile.
Fusu had been in Shangjun for several years and had a good understanding of warfare. When he saw Li Zhao arranging the army so hastily, he became a little angry and asked: "Li Zhao, how can you be such a childish person?"
