That night, most of the Ming army advanced directly to a place two or three miles away from the small river.
This was an enormous pressure on the Persian soldiers on the other side of the river. Under the not-so-bright moonlight, Altai and many Persian generals, as well as the elders of the Persian Mingjiao, all remembered the words of the lost saint almost at the same time.
"When you see the dark clouds looming over the sky, you will know what war is."
To be honest, almost everyone, including Altai, has regretted it now, especially your elders of the Persian Mingjiao.
When they abducted Xiao Zhao from the imperial palace in Beijing, they never imagined that the consequences would be so serious.
Just a woman, yet Zhang Wuji actually sent an army of over 100,000 to attack her.
However, it was too late to regret. At this moment, unless they won this battle, Persia would be destroyed, and how could the so-called Persian Mingjiao survive?
"My fellow generals and elders, you are all the best in our Persian Empire. You have all enjoyed all the splendor and wealth in the world in Persia as nobles. But in the coming time, you will have to pay the price for your splendor and wealth."
"Have you seen the Ming army on the opposite side? Do you still remember what the saint said at the beginning, it really felt like a dark cloud was pressing down on the head."
"Although I am the Emperor of Persia, I have never commanded a battle with so many people."
"The next battle is related to our life, death and future. No one should be lucky. This battle is inevitable."
"If my estimate is correct, the Ming army will launch a general attack early tomorrow morning. However, we have more people and are on the defensive. Since ancient times, the defensive side has always had an easier time in battle."
"In this battle, we must try our best from top to bottom. As long as we can handle every detail in an orderly manner, even if we cannot win, it will be enough to fight the Ming army. After all, they have come from afar, and we are fighting on our home turf. We can afford to fight, but they definitely cannot."
…
On the other side, just as the Persian soldiers on the opposite side were guarding the river, the Ming army also started the same thing. After all, it was already night, and both armies did not want to fight at night. It was impossible for hundreds of thousands of troops to fight a confused battle in the night.
In the Ming army camp, Zhang Wuji gathered all the generals together.
He looked around at everyone, and then slowly said: "Generals, I will not say any more nonsense. Although we have only brought tens of thousands of soldiers to this battle, look at the soldiers under your command. Every one of them is a veteran of hundreds of battles. All the elite soldiers of my Ming Dynasty are here."
"The Ming Dynasty was established just a few years ago. Any defeat will have a great impact on our country. Moreover, our finances have been very tight in recent years. The soldiers' salaries are all plundered during the last expedition to Japan. As for food, fodder, military supplies and other things, they are shipped from Hexi, thousands of miles away."
"This battle is very expensive and we have invested such a huge cost, so we must win. Today I will tell you the truth, this battle, we either win, and after winning we will search the sky and the earth in Persia, take away everything we can, and then use the money we have looted to build our own country, but if we lose, no one, including me, will be able to leave Persia alive."
"Do you understand?"
Zhao Min looked at Zhang Wuji with a smile, and then said, "The Ming Dynasty will definitely win."
Led by Zhao Min, all the generals present shouted in unison: "The Ming Dynasty will win."
It's just four words, but these four words are the belief of all the Ming troops who have come here on this expedition.
From a practical point of view, the Ming Dynasty soldiers who have now expeditioned here have almost surpassed their ancestors, because even during the Han and Tang dynasties, those ancestors had never fought to such a far place.
Zhang Wuji smiled and waved his hand: "Generals, go back and rest early. We just need to defend tightly tonight. I will announce the combat information to you tomorrow morning."
After Zhang Wuji's speech, all the generals present dispersed.
Afterwards, the women and Zhang Wuji sat around the campfire.
After a moment's silence, Zhou Zhiruo said, "Actually, we should be very nervous now, but why don't I feel nervous at all?"
Zhao Min smiled and said, "What's there to be nervous about? The two sides have only 400,000 troops combined. Even someone like you who doesn't care much about it has seen such scenes many times, right?"
After hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo gave Zhao Min a fierce look and said, "You are all show but no use. After this battle, I'm afraid we won't need you anymore. I wonder how long you can keep being so arrogant?"
Zhao Linger quickly tried to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, you two are really something. It's already this time and you're still arguing. Just say less."
"Tomorrow will be a tough battle. Among our group of sisters, there are many with high cultivation levels."
"For tomorrow's battle, everyone except Zhu'er, Li Yao and Xiao Zhao will stay on standby."
"If it really comes to that critical moment, we women must not lose face for the Ming Dynasty."
Zhou Zhiruo said: "That's right. Our lecherous emperor brought so many women with him on a long expedition of thousands of miles. I'm afraid the soldiers will think we are just here to sleep with these enemies."
"If we have the opportunity to play tomorrow, we must let our boys see that we are not just pretty faces. We have great abilities, and it is not as simple as just being able to sleep with them."
After hearing this, Zhang Wuji felt guilty again: "It's really hard for you to be my woman, but I still hope that you can stay in the military camp honestly and don't do those dangerous things."
Gong Yu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you worry too much. I know that Your Majesty is doing this for our own good. However, being truly good to a woman is more than just giving her a life of luxury. Most of us sisters are not the type to be canaries in a cage. We will only feel happy if we can share Your Majesty's worries on the battlefield or in other matters."
Gong Yu's words were very sincere, after all, she really thought so.
Zhao Linger said: "Sister Gong is right. As for tomorrow's matter, Sister Min'er has the final say. When you need us, a group of useless women, Sister Min'er, please don't be polite."
"As for tonight, let's eat something and go to bed. After all, we have to get up early tomorrow."
"Zhu'er, Xiaozhao, and Li Yao, the three of you will accompany the young master tonight. Hurry up and work harder. Don't keep working too late. Do you hear me?"
