Chapter 1320

This was a very shallow provocation tactic.

He could also see it.

Seeing this, Wang Xin spoke even more calmly, "The Living Yama is extremely cunning, a number one ruthless strategist in the world. A ruthless strategist takes scheming for himself as his duty; would he personally take the field?"

"Regarding this, our army should also maintain an attitude of suspicion!"

The anger in Batel's heart dissipated slightly.

Luandi Heyang was also filled with gloom, his gaze flickering, thinking and weighing.

Wang Xin's words were not without reason!

On the side, Azali began to exert effort, "Your Highness, there's no need to worry about that, because that Living Yama made a vow in public, saying that whoever doesn't go to this battle is a coward, whoever's father has no anus, will be struck by heaven's five thunders, and will die a horrible death!"

"Those Qian people have always talked about benevolence and righteousness, most of all about fatherly kindness and filial piety. Making a vow like this, unless that Gao Yang doesn't want his reputation anymore, let alone returning to Changan to face his father—but this is nearly impossible!"

Once these words were out, all the Xiongnu generals had solemn faces.

"What a vicious vow!"

"It seems this Living Yama has been driven mad by the Da Qian Empress's words and can't wait to engage in a decisive battle with our army!"

Batel spoke up.

"What else did that Living Yama say?" Batel continued to ask.

"He also said that our Heavenly God Tribe are all barbarians, nothing but coarse people who herd cows and sheep, saying that our barbarian army's equipment is inferior to Da Qian's, so he specially permits Your Highness to lead two or three times the troops for a head-on confrontation!"

"He said he is right there; if you have the guts, come and kill him, otherwise he will defile the Great E'shi in public!"

Once these words were out.

Wang Xin raised an eyebrow; he could feel with the naked eye that the killing intent around Batel was soaring.

"Deceiving people too much!"

"Simply deceiving people too much!"

"I, Batel, am the grassland's number one warrior; how could I have any reason to avoid Gao Yang's edge?"

Batel said furiously.

Wang Xin still wanted to speak to dissuade him.

But Batel reached out directly, making a gesture to stop, "Mr. Wang Xin, no need to say more. Since words have reached this point, if I, Batel, still act like a turtle, how can I rule the tribes and move toward glory in the future?"

"He wants to take me down, but don't I also want to take him down to wash away the hatred in my heart!"

"Still afraid I'm afraid of battle, specifically letting me bring two or three times the people. Eight hundred is eight hundred; how can the eagle on the grassland fear the edge of others?"

Seeing that Batel had made up his mind, Wang Xin turned his gaze toward the Xiongnu Right Worthy King Luandi Heyang.

"Right Worthy King, what do you think of this matter?"

The Right Worthy King was older after all and knew the cunning of the human heart better; he wanted to let the Xiongnu Right Worthy King persuade Batel.

For a time, numerous gazes looked toward the Xiongnu Right Worthy King, who had been silent since his outburst.

Luandi Heyang raised his sinister eyes, scanned the crowd, and finally took a deep breath and said, "I think this battle should be fought!"

Upon hearing this.

Wang Xin became anxious and was about to speak.

The Xiongnu Right Worthy King spoke first, "Mr. Wang Xin, don't be anxious. I understand your worries that Da Qian might have a scheme."

This sentence made Wang Xin's expression soften, but he then revealed confusion.

The Xiongnu Right Worthy King continued, "This battle can be accepted, but the location of the battle must be decided by us!"

"I know of an extremely good battle location in the Xuanshui River Bend, called Wudi. It's not that simple for Da Qian to scheme against our army!"

While speaking, the Xiongnu Right Worthy King looked at Batel and then said earnestly.

"Your Highness, accepting the battle is fine, but it must not be eight hundred against eight hundred. Since that Living Yama permits two or three times the troops to respond, then let it be as he wishes!"

Once these words were out, Batel was instantly dissatisfied, "But in this way, even if we win, it will be an unglamorous victory!"

Luandi Heyang sneered, "On the battlefield, killing the enemy is the most important thing; slaughtering this Living Yama is the most important thing!"

"Your Highness, don't be blinded by anger. This Living Yama dares to accept the battle because he has absolute confidence in the eight hundred men under his command."

"Da Qian now has many weapons. Even if we search for tribal warriors and equip them with the best armor and the sharpest curved blades, I fear it will be hard to contend!"

"But with double or even triple the troops, the advantage is ours, and it will be completely different."

Luandi Heyang's words made Batel calm down.

Although he was proud in his heart, he had to admit that there was a huge difference in equipment between the two sides.

Eight hundred against eight hundred, they really might not be able to win!

At this time,

Wang Xin had some realization. He said to Luandi Heyang in a deep voice, "Is the Right Worthy King intending to gather troop superiority, fiercely attack the Da Qian Living Yama, and behead him at Wudi?"

Luandi Heyang smiled sinisterly, then nodded and said, "Correct!"

"This battle can be lost, but the Living Yama must die!"

"Furthermore, the Da Qian Living Yama doesn't know Your Highness. Your Highness only needs to disguise yourself as an ordinary warrior to protect yourself!"

"Otherwise, as Your Highness said, that Da Qian Living Yama is already riding on our necks and starting to pee. If we still don't counterattack, and instead go to take a lick, that would be too cheap."

"Moreover, if we truly don't accept the battle, and that Living Yama really does that heaven-and-human-outraging thing, plus the rear being stolen, that will be a huge blow to the morale of the army."

Wang Xin fell into complete silence upon hearing these words.

But his mind also became active, clearly calculating the feasibility of this plan.

As Luandi Heyang said, the rear had already been stolen, which was shameful enough. Facing provocation, even calling for double or triple the troops, and still not daring to accept the battle—

For the Xiongnu, who had always admired strength and advocated that the strong are kings, this would be a huge blow to morale.

He scanned Batel and asked in a deep voice, "Your Highness, do you want to fight?"

Batel said in a furious tone, "If I don't accept the battle, I will be a coward, Father Chanyu will have no anus, and will be struck by heaven's five thunders!"

"Even the Great E'shi is in danger of being defiled!"

"I absolutely cannot swallow this breath!"

The words were resonant.

Although Wang Xin still felt it was impulsive, he also developed ideas.

"Since that is the case!"

"Then please, Your Highness, select the warriors in the army, and the Right Worthy King and I will arrange a fair battle terrain for Your Highness!"

Wang Xin relaxed his stance here, and Batel couldn't help but reveal a ferocious smile. He rubbed his fists and was about to go down.

Luandi Heyang didn't forget to remind him, "Your Highness must find three times the troops; do not be careless!"

"Once you see that Living Yama, charge straight to death. This battle can be lost, but Gao Yang must die!"

Batel revealed a ferocious smile and said, "This Living Yama will pay a heavy price for his shortsightedness!"

He didn't have confidence in eight hundred people, but with triple the troops, he had absolute confidence.

Although his Xiongnu were poor, there was enough armor and weapons for the elites to wear.

Subsequently, a group of Xiongnu generals perfected some details of the battle!

Finally.

Batel spoke up, "Send someone to tell that Living Yama: a mere decisive battle, whoever flinches is a grandson; how could I, Batel, avoid his edge?"

"Come and fight!"

For a time, the Xiongnu camp also fell into a commotion. Batel wanted to select the bravest soldiers in the army and give them the best armor and weapons to wear.

All for the sake of the decisive battle, to better behead that Living Yama!
