Another day of intense fighting passed.

At dusk that day, His Royal Highness the Prince, Governor of the Eastern Seleucid Empire sat in the tent, full of expectations.

It can be said that he was caught off guard by the Great Han Kingdom yesterday, but today he has already done his best. It is impossible to lose to the so-called Great Han Kingdom again, right?

Soon, the generals began to report one by one.

Listening, the smile on the governor's face gradually disappeared.

From the numbers reported in these reports, we can know very clearly that although the Seleucids are indeed doing their best today, in fact, today's battle damage has hardly changed much compared to yesterday.

To be more precise, the original seven to one battle loss has now become six to one.

Governor: ""Seven to one and six to one, although there is a difference in numbers, there is no difference in essence.

The comparison of these two numbers can only show one thing, that is, the soldiers and horses of the Han Kingdom are stronger than Seleucus, and they are much stronger!

Chapter 1133 The Battle Begins

For this result, the governor is obviously completely unacceptable.

In his arrogant view, the Seleucids should be the soldiers who crushed the Han country without any suspense. How could it turn out to be crushed in reverse?

On the other side, King Wusun felt completely regretful when he heard all this.

I originally thought that the Seleucids were a very powerful country, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that.

If he had known this earlier, it would be better to choose to surrender immediately as stated in the notice sent by Zhao Kuo before, and he could still save his life.

Just as King Wusun was thinking wildly, Governor Seleucid spoke again.

"It seems that this time we really encountered a very strong opponent."

When Governor Seleucid spoke, his expression was very solemn and serious, and he was no longer as relaxed as before.

Regarding Governor Seleucid's remarks, although all the Seleucid generals present did not speak, judging from their expressions, they undoubtedly agreed.

Governor Seleucid breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "Although our enemy is very powerful, this is just in line with my wish.

Only by defeating this powerful enemy can we have a better future in the future.

You are all my confidantes, you should understand what I am talking about, the Han Kingdom is so powerful now, if we can defeat them, then my throne will be assured in the future.

I hope you guys can help me win this one, no matter what the cost.

When I can inherit the throne in the future, you will get enough rewards, understand what I mean? "

The Governor of Seleucid was really flustered, and it was precisely because he was flustered that he said that he did not hesitate to use this as a bargaining chip to persuade other Seleucid generals.

But what I have to say is that this bargaining chip has indeed played a very good effect. The Seleucid generals present still had some hesitation and hesitation at first, but after receiving the promise of the Seleucid governor and prince, they all immediately turned around. Morale was boosted again.

"Please rest assured, Governor, this time we will definitely do our best to help you defeat this so-called Great Han Kingdom."

"If I were to tell you, the Great Han Kingdom may have stronger cavalry. It's hard to say whether the other troops are strong or not. We don't need to mess ourselves up because of this. What is the real ability? You won’t know until you’ve fought on the battlefield.”

"Perhaps these Han people have already used all their strength. By then, they will be the real dead end, and we will be able to easily win the victory."

Listening to the scrambling speeches of the Seleucid generals in front of him, a smile appeared on the face of the Seleucid Governor.

As the saying goes, a raging soldier, a raging nest, a general's influence on the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under his command is beyond imagination, if these generals have fear in their hearts before they start fighting, then Basically, there is no way to continue fighting this battle.

Fortunately, from the current point of view, basically the Seleucids have successfully saved the situation, allowing these generals to boost their morale again.

If this is the case, let's not talk about the final result, but at least on the bright side, it is enough to have a decisive battle with the Han Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Governor Seleucid actually admired Zhao Kuo in his heart.

Just relying on the two days of fighting between the scouts, the Han army led by Zhao Kuo has successfully put great pressure on Seleucid's side.

If we wait until we actually meet on the battlefield, what will be the result?

Governor Seleucid suddenly discovered that he himself had really begun to look forward to this war.

On the other side, after Zhao Kuo learned of this situation, he was very relaxed.

After all, for Zhao Kuo, all the situation is currently under control, and the failure of the Seleucid scouts is also expected.

Zhao Kuo said to the generals in front of him with a relaxed face: "Everyone go back tonight and have a good rest, and tomorrow morning we will go on to have a real battle with these Seleucids after we have recovered our energy." Let's fight."

At noon on the second day, the two sides met near an oasis.

Zhao Kuo stared at the opposite side from a distance. The flag was strict and the team was well-organized.

"Is this the legendary Macedonian phalanx?

It looks really good. "

The Macedonian phalanx, this is the historical existence of Alexander the Great relying on this phalanx, which can be said to be invincible all over the world.

Although Zhao Kuo's so-called time period was about a few decades later than that of Alexander the Great, Zhao Kuo still appreciated it when he saw the Macedonian phalanx.

This kind of phalanx itself is actually not too outstanding, but he was able to almost perfectly integrate the Macedonians at that time to replenish energy, technical discipline and other aspects, and then cooperate with Alexander the Great, it can be said to be the pinnacle. It was his commanding skills and courage that created a powerful Alexander Empire.

It's a pity that decades have passed, not to mention Zhao Kuo, the time traveler, even the timeline of the entire world has undergone drastic changes, and the various weapon technologies among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period Year after year emerge in endlessly.

Zhao Kuo turned to look at Xiang Yan, and said to Xiang Yan: "What do you think of this phalanx? Is there any hope of winning?"

Xiang Yan was also looking at the phalanx. He didn't answer Zhao Kuo immediately, but it took a while before he got the answer.

"The conception of this phalanx is indeed quite delicate, but Shuchen said bluntly that this kind of phalanx is completely vulnerable to the soldiers and horses of our Han Dynasty now. They are simply the target of the musketeers."

Zhao Kuo heard the same thing, he couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief, and said, "It's true. In front of muskets, such a phalanx becomes too gaudy."

At this moment, Zhao Kuo suddenly heard the very impassioned drumming from the opponent's position.

Obviously this is the army of the Seleucid Empire has begun to attack.

Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing: "Could it be that the governor on the opposite side didn't realize that our lineup is all cavalry?

He dared to take the lead in launching an attack on the cavalry lineup, which is really very brave! "

Xiang Yan glanced at Zhao Kuo and asked, "I don't know how Your Majesty plans to fight this battle?"

Xiangyan, as the new premise commander, has the ability to make independent decisions. This is why Zhao Kuo delegated power to him and let him exercise it.

Therefore, his inquiry was not actually a question of accounts or how to fight, but a question of whether Zhao Kuo should use musketeers or not.

If it is other troops, of course Xiang Yan can call them at will, but for the musketeers, the command power is only in the hands of Zhao Kuo, and no one else can get involved.

Of course Zhao Kuo understood what Xiang Yan meant, so he smiled and said, "Didn't I already say that we should never underestimate any opponent. In this war, musketeers also need to be dispatched."

For Zhao Kuo, the Musketeer is a trump card, and it is natural to play it at the right time. Otherwise, the trump card in his hand cannot cause any damage to the enemy, right?

And as long as you defeat the Seleucid army in front of you, then the next thing will be very simple. After this battle, the entire Western Regions will be completely brought under the rule of Zhao Kuo Dahan. Basically speaking, this time The goal of conquering the Western Regions has been completed.

If musketeers are not used at this time, when will they be used?

After receiving Zhao Kuo's explicit instructions, Xiang Yan was immediately overjoyed: "Thank you Your Majesty, I can guarantee that we have won this war!"

So Xiang Yan immediately began to dispatch troops. He first sent a cavalry team of 5000 people to the left and right wings to suppress the field, and then pressed all the [-] musketeers on the central part, and slowly moved towards the front. The Macedonian phalanx in the center of the Ryukus went away.

This way of marching and arranging battles is another unheard of behavior for the Seleucid governor on the opposite side.

"What do these generals of the Han Dynasty want to do?

Doesn't he really think that with the 5000 light infantry in front of him, he can break through our defense line? "

Facing Governor Seleucid's question, of course it is impossible for any of the subordinates around him to be able to answer it.

But King Wusun, who had been silent for a long time, felt that he had seen the hope of the Seleucids winning at this time, so he couldn't help but speak.

"Perhaps this is the strange tactics of the Han people. They may be too confident and think that they can break through our defense line just like that.

I think the governor should immediately mobilize the elite to wipe out all the 5000 enemy troops, and then we can take this opportunity to directly attack their central army and win the victory. "

Governor Seleucid also nodded in agreement after hearing this sentence, and said: "According to common sense, it is not so easy to defeat such a stupid opponent, but right now we need a victory, so this kind of unreasonable I have to take down the victory of honor for him too.

Immediately send me an order to mobilize 2 troops immediately, and eat the 5000 people in the middle first.

The other soldiers and horses are responsible for supporting the flanks. If the flanks of the enemy army have any attempts to support the central army, then our flanks must stop them in time. "

This Seleucid governor, after all, was born in a family of generals who followed Alexander the Great in battle. He can be said to be very skilled in marching troops and commanding battles.

Following these orders, Seleucid's troops immediately began to mobilize.

From the perspective of combat effectiveness, the combat effectiveness of this Seleucid army may indeed be inferior to that of the powerful elite who followed Alexander the Great across Asia, Europe and Africa, but after all, they also inherited part of the legacy of the Alexander Empire. A powerful army that once swept through various countries in Central Asia and once extended its influence to the Western Regions.

So after getting the order, the mobilization of this army is also very fast.

Soon there will be a Macedonian phalanx of 2 people, neatly encircling 5000 musketeers from the left, middle and right directions.

When seeing this scene, Zhao Kuo's face was not moved in any way, and he even wanted to laugh.

"Perhaps this is the gap brought about by the times."

If the musket did not appear a few years ago, the Seleucid governor was indeed right to do this, and it can even be said to be a commander with a very good clinical response.

But the problem is that if it was really based on the tactical command policy of the old era, how could Zhao Kuo be so stupid as to just exclude a lone army of 5000 people and put it at the forefront, so that the Seleucids could use it to divide, encircle and annihilate?

From this point of view, the Seleucid governor may indeed have a lot of experience, but he lacked vigilance when reacting on the spot.

Doesn't he know what it means that when things go wrong, there must be a demon?

Zhao Kuo plans to teach the young Seleucid governor a good lesson here today.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo glanced at his side involuntarily and subconsciously, and asked, "Who is in charge of commanding these 5000 Musketeers this time?"

Wang Jian tightly held the musket in his hand, and swallowed involuntarily.

As an attendant of Zhao Kuo, Wang Jian also received training before, knowing how to use muskets and how to command musketeers.

But Wang Jie never expected that he would become the general of the Han Kingdom in such a short period of time, let alone that he could command 5000 Musketeers now.

Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Han Kingdom really doesn't worry that I'm completely a traitor with ulterior motives?

At this moment, one of Wang Jian's personal guards said: "Master General, our enemy is about to enter the range."

Only then did Wang Jian come to his senses, and he couldn't help cursing himself inwardly.

This is on the battlefield, how can you be in a daze like this?

Wang Jian took a deep breath and focused his gaze on the quasi-heart in front of him.

In the focus of his sight, a Seleucid general who was riding a horse and brandishing a spear was very conspicuous.

Without any thought or hesitation at all, after confirming that the opponent had indeed entered his fire range, he pressed the trigger in his hand forcefully without thinking.

After a bang, the projectile flew out instantly.

A few seconds later, a hole was pierced in the chest of the Seleucid general Wang Jian had aimed at in advance, and blood shot out from the hole. The general fell off his horse and lost his life.

bang bang bang!All musketeers pressed the trigger!

Chapter 1134 Breaking the Seleucid Army

What kind of power is a musket salvo?

On this point, the previous Yuezhi people definitely had a say.

Even now that he has become a part of the Han army, when Guilu heard the sound of the scythe harvesting, he couldn't help but tremble.

"It's terrible, this is definitely a weapon bestowed by the gods!"

Gui Lu said something to himself, feeling extremely grateful for the decision to surrender in time.

If it wasn't for that decision, how could it be possible to live until now?

Thinking of this, Guilu felt more rejoiced, and at the same time, he became more and more convinced that he must serve Zhao Kuo loyally in the future, and he would never have any betrayal.

As a people on the grassland, it can be said that they have an innate instinct to follow the wind and obey the strong. Guilu has undoubtedly brought this instinct to the extreme now.

In the camp of the Han people here, it is of course very enjoyable to watch the Musketeers slaughter the opposing Seleucids, but on the other side the Seleucids are completely confused.

The governor and prince couldn't believe it, his eyes widened, and it took several seconds before he said: "What kind of strange weapons did these Han people use?"

Right in front of the Governor, the Macedonian phalanx that has been proud of the Seleucids for so many years, the row of heavy armored infantry at the front, was harvested clean in an instant like the ripe grain in autumn net.

But something even more terrifying happened afterwards, because out of the corner of his eye, the governor suddenly discovered that it was the 5000 Han infantrymen who looked harmless to humans and animals, and once again raised the strange shape in their hands, but gave it to the Seleucids just now. A weapon that did massive damage.

A very bad feeling flashed across the governor's mind in an instant, and he cried out almost immediately.

"Send the order down quickly, let them retreat, retreat immediately!"

Although the words of the governor have been heard by the Seleucid generals around them, how could they be at least a few miles away from the Seleucid soldiers who had rushed to the Musketeers on such a battlefield? Do you know how to pass this order directly to these Seleucid soldiers at this moment?
