Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

Chapter 407 The big tent is on the verge of breaking out, messenger?

All signs seemed to point to the fact that Gao Yao was seriously injured, but the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan noticed something strange from the beginning. This strangeness made him suspicious, thinking that this matter was too deliberate, and the more so, the more doubtful it was.

However, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan did not dare to draw conclusions easily. After all, in the previous many confrontations and contests, he already knew that Gao Yao was no ordinary person. Not only was he meticulous and changeable, but his thinking and planning for many things were often unexpected. Therefore, even in the situation that seemed to be full of flaws, it could not be completely ruled out that Gao Yao was intentional in an attempt to confuse the audience and make the fake look real.

The situation was extremely urgent at this time, and time was running out. The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan could not afford to hesitate or hesitate any longer. There was only one way before him: a desperate battle! Either he could succeed in one fell swoop and reap the fruits of victory; if he failed, the imperial army would have no choice but to withdraw. The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan naturally could not give up this opportunity to pursue, and finally ordered to attack Gao Yao.

The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan's order was transmitted as quickly as an arrow from a bow. Then, a large number of imperial troops rushed towards the direction where the black-armored army left like a surging tide. For a moment, the sound of horse hooves resounded through the sky, and the flying dust covered the sky.

Looking around, the black-armored army in front and the imperial army chasing closely behind, the total number of both sides is at least close to 150,000! With such a huge army size, just from the surface situation, the imperial army undoubtedly has an absolute advantage. After all, this is more than 100,000 people against a mere 20,000 people! Such a huge difference in military strength makes people feel that the outcome of this battle is already determined, and the imperial army has already won.

No matter how advanced the weapons and equipment or unique tactics the Southern Border Army possessed, facing such an overwhelming numerical disadvantage, it was almost a pipe dream for them to win this battle. Meanwhile, Zhang Han, who was on the other side of the battlefield, received a letter from the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan. After careful consideration, he finally realized why Han Xin, who had been pressing him step by step and making him feel pressured, suddenly stopped advancing and chose to retreat.

Han Xin controlled only 30,000 southern troops, but this army was closely connected to Nanhai County and had a unique geographical location. It could take the initiative to attack and had a solid defense line to defend. More importantly, Han Xin knew the local terrain very well, as if it were his own backyard. Facing such an enemy, Zhang Han was not without the ability to fight. The reason why he was hesitant and did not dare to launch an attack rashly was that after weighing the pros and cons, he believed that his side had little chance of winning the battle at this time, and might even suffer a great loss.

After all, in the previous battles, his side suffered setbacks and morale was low, while the southern border army, on the other hand, was in high spirits due to successive victories. As one side gained strength while the other lost, the strength comparison between the two sides had changed. As a veteran general, Zhang Han knew that war was dangerous and he must not rashly send troops to attack.

Just when Zhang Han was thinking about whether he should withdraw from Nanhai County to avoid greater losses, the situation suddenly took an unexpected turn - Han Xin, who had been pressing forward step by step, actually ordered to stop the advance and commanded the troops to retreat on a large scale. After some investigation, Zhang Han learned that Han Xin's move was to rush to Gaoyao. After hearing the news, Zhang Han, who had been tense all the time, finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt excited at the same time, because the opportunity for war had appeared.

However, what confused him was that the next order came from the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan. He was ordered to follow the army to encircle Gao Yao. Since the beginning of the expedition to the southern border, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan had served as the chief commander. At first, Zhang Han was worried, and as the war progressed, Zhang Han had deep doubts and questions about the series of orders issued by Yi Xiaochuan.

How could this be the right time to encircle Gao Yao? Go all out to seize Nanhai County, that would be the best opportunity! At present, the military strength of Nanhai County is so empty. If we miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and don't take action, but instead point the spearhead at Gao Yao, it would be a waste of time! You know, a full 300,000 imperial troops are conquering the southern border. This scale is earth-shattering. If you are not careful, it may shake the foundation of the country.

However, Zhang Han had a strong feeling at the moment that this action was not simply to attack the Southern Territory, but more like it was specifically aimed at Gao Yao. Although killing Gao Yao in one fell swoop would indeed make the Southern Territory lose its backbone instantly and fall into chaos, on the battlefield, taking the initiative is always crucial!

But now, the outcome of the battle was decided by Gao Yao's life or death alone. Zhang Han couldn't understand this, and he even wanted to disobey the order. Unfortunately, things didn't go as he wished, and he couldn't disobey the order from his superiors. After all, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan had become the supreme commander of the three armies, and his power was so great that no one dared to disobey him easily.

Not to mention that Li Xin is now dead, and another influential figure in the imperial army, Wang Li, is still left to fight Zhen Tuo and Cao Shen. This has led to no one refuting or stopping the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan's idea. Li Xin has the ability to stop it because he is a veteran of the Qin Dynasty. Many people in the army have old friends with Li Xin, and some are even generals who once followed Li Xin.

As for Wang Li, the main force of the imperial army was originally the imperial guards near Xianyang. Wang Ben was a general who had led the imperial guards for many years. Wang Li had also been trained in it and had enough influence. Now one of them has died, and the other was dragged to Zhentuo. Indeed, Zhang Han even suspected that this was intentional by the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan.

Zhang Han stood in the central army tent, frowning, holding a red pen tightly in his hand, staring at the military map spread out in front of him. The map was densely marked with the deployment of troops and topography of both sides, and he was racking his brains to think about how to effectively encircle the rebels led by Gao Yao, who was giving him a headache.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from far away, and then a panting messenger rushed into the tent. The messenger knelt on one knee, saluted with his fists, and shouted loudly: "Report... The Southern Border Army has sent someone!"

Hearing this sudden news, Zhang Han couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and thought to himself: "Why did the Southern Border Army send people here at this time? Are they trying to use this opportunity to delay time in order to buy Gao Yao more breathing space?" Thinking of this, Zhang Han's face became more solemn.
