The Qin army gathered only 100,000 troops in the Nali area, while the ghost army had 200,000.
This is where Mokes’ greatest confidence lies.
He used the word "aggressive" in his conversation with the military civilian officials. That was because he did not think that the Qin army would easily engage in battle. After all, there was a gap in military strength between the two sides.
The civil servant also said: "Our army is twice that of the enemy, and there are one hundred thousand more troops in the large force. From this point of view, Emperor Qin may not be able to defeat two hundred thousand with one hundred thousand."
"So, we have to provoke him. It's best to make Emperor Qin angry." Mokes said, and said to a sergeant: "Go and ask the translator to come over."
"Yes!" The sergeant took the order and left.
Not long after, a man from the ghost tribe walked in and saluted first: "General Mokes."
Mokes got straight to the point: "Reid, you are well versed in the culture of the Central Plains. I have called you here this time because I want you to write a letter of war on behalf of my general and pass it on to Emperor Qin. Are there any questions?"
"Of course there is no problem." Reid said: "I just don't know what the general thinks, so it will be easier for my subordinates to write."
"Yes." Mokes thought about it for a moment and chuckled: "Of course, the first point of this letter of challenge is to show the justice of our war."
"Second, we must also show our confidence in winning."
"Third, it would be best to verbally humiliate Emperor Qin so that he becomes angry and engages in battle."
"Finally, let's talk about the place of decisive battle."
"I understand." The man nodded, sat down at the table, and unfolded a parchment.
He stopped writing, sometimes thinking for a while before continuing to write, so he waited for a long time to finish, and respectfully submitted it: "Please take a look at it, general."
This letter of war first scolded the Qin army as evil thieves and accused them of committing unprovoked crimes. Then it explained the justice of the ghost clan and the morale of the ghost army, asking the Qin army to surrender obediently as soon as possible. It also used many insulting words in order to Words like slaves, humans, sheep, etc. are a long piece of nonsense that is unpalatable to read.
However, Mokesi was very satisfied. He nodded from time to time while reading: "Well, it's well written. It's well written. I'll pass this letter to Emperor Qin."
As soon as he said this, another ghost army hurried in:
"Report~~~"
"General, the Qin army's war report."
As the soldier spoke, he also raised his hands and respectfully presented a letter.
"Oh?" Mokaisi was a little surprised. He was still afraid that Emperor Qin would not accept the battle, but the Qin army sent a letter of challenge instead?
Little did they know, Xiao Yuan was waiting for this decisive battle!
Surprised, Mokes also took out the letter and read it carefully:
[The recent ones are dedicated to the heaven to attack sinners and purge the evildoers. Now I am leading the king's troops. I am willing to fight the general in Nali. I hope you can take a bath and purify your head. 】
This letter of challenge has only twenty-nine words, but it is a crucial word. It directly points out the theme without any ambiguity! It's not as messy as what the ghost clan man wrote before.
Mokes opened his eyes wide and pointed at the last part of the letter of challenge: "What does this mean?"
"This" the translator leaned his head to look at it, and bravely said: "This bathing and cleansing head should be for us to wash our necks and wait."
"How brave!" Mokaisi was furious when he heard this. He crumpled the letter of challenge into a ball and threw it to the ground: "Qin Huang is a thief! He bullied me too much!"
"This general is still afraid that he will not accept this battle!"
"Instead, he rushed to die!"
"Okay! Then we will completely defeat the Qin army in the Nali Plain! This general vows to capture Xiao Yuan alive and offer it to His Majesty the King!"
The civil servant in the army said: "General, calm down. The Emperor of Qin only has a hundred thousand troops. Even if his combat power is stronger than ours, the number is still very different. There is absolutely no problem in winning a decisive battle, but once we become angry, we will lose our rational judgment." ."
"You're right to remind me." Mokes took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "Get the map!"
"yes!"
Soon, a military map was unfolded, marking only the entire Nari District.
Mokes and the civil servant stood in front of the map, moving their fingers slowly, and finally clicked on a certain place: "If this is used as the decisive battle place, then the Qin army is on the left, our army is on the right, and the Nali Plain is very It is vast enough to form troops and armies, making the battle line extremely long.”
"As for Emperor Qin, according to our research, Xiao Yuan had many large-scale decisive battles in the battles to wipe out the Central Plains countries, and during the decisive battles, his favorite thing was to sneak around behind or use cavalry to flank him. To disrupt the opponent’s formation.”
"So we want to pay special attention to that, especially the timing of their cavalry entry."
"Our warriors and scimitar soldiers will only die if they encounter the Qin cavalry. If we use spear soldiers to deal with it, the effect will be better." The civil servant added.
"Well, you're right." Mokes said: "Another point is that according to the news that that loser Laisen sent back to Congress, it is said that the Qin Army's arrow array is very terrifying, with strong bows and powerful crossbows, and the range is far beyond Our army."
"We haven't seen this before, but to be cautious, it's best to have more shield soldiers in the front row."
"Then during the decisive battle, find the right opportunity to attack Qin's formation with cavalry first, disrupting their front row, followed closely by swordsmen, and crush them from the front."
"As long as we are allowed to get close, I believe that in this kind of face-to-face hand-to-hand combat, our warriors will definitely not be weaker than the Qin army, and we will still be able to suppress them in numbers!"
"At the same time, when the Qin cavalry enters the field, the left and right wings respond with spears to block their impact."
"In addition, at the place of decisive battle, all possibilities for the Qin army to bypass the enemy must be eliminated."
"Especially here!" Mokes pointed at a place: "Perhaps we can ambush thousands of warriors. If the Qin army dares to take this path between the two mountains, they will never come back! "
The civil servant looked at the map, nodded slowly, and said sincerely: "The general has deployed properly. I predict that our army will win this battle!"
"I'd like to lend you your good words." Mokaisi immediately shouted: "Send the order to the entire army to prepare for war immediately! I, the general, have accepted this letter of war from Emperor Qin!"
"yes!"
the other side.
After writing the autobiography, Xiao Yuan was also preparing for the decisive battle.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, all the generals have expressed their opinions.
Some people suggested using cavalry as the main force.
Some people suggested that cavalry should be used to outflank the left and right flanks.
Someone suggested a detour and highlighted the location of the cut.
However, this place was directly rejected by Xiao Yuan, saying: "There is only one place in the Nali Plain that is most suitable for the cavalry to circle back, but that road is between two mountains, going down from the north, and the road is narrow. The generals thought, Would Mokes not be able to see this place?”
"If there is an ambush, it doesn't take many, just a few hundred people to stop this place."
"This approach is really dangerous and should never be taken."
"Therefore, a head-on decisive battle is the key!"
"Our cavalry must be used to establish victory!" (End of Chapter)
