The two sides fought for nearly two hours by the river, but there was still no winner.
Zhao Ziliang and others who were watching the battle on the hill had nothing to do in these two hours.
They saw more and more people on both sides dying, and soon There was about to be a result, Zhao Ziliang asked: "Liang Zhenwu or Zhang Huchen, which one do you think will win?"
Liang Zhenwu said: "Master, almost half of the troops on both sides have been lost so far.
Even if one side wins in the end, it will be a miserable victory.
As the saying goes, kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to yourself.
This is the situation.
These two The tribes are all barbarians, and their military strength is incomparable with the warriors of the tribe.
The fighting power is almost the same, but in my opinion, the general of the Vlachi people is more brave and decisive.
In this situation where both sides are evenly matched, a brave and decisive general will definitely play a decisive role in the end, so I think in the end , it must be the Vlachi who win.”
Zhao Ziliang asked: "Zhang Huchen, what do you think?"
Zhang Huchen looked at it and said: "Sir, I can't tell anything from the current situation.
I think both sides are exhausted by now and will most likely retreat."
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "You have fought too few times and your experience is still insufficient.
In any war, if both sides stop fighting at the same time, unless there is strong interference from external forces, it will be difficult to maintain a tacit understanding to stop fighting at the same time, and one of the parties can take the initiative and calmly Retreat is extremely rare and must be possible under specific timing and conditions.
For example, if one party retreats to a canyon, as long as it holds the mouth of the canyon, the other party will It is impossible to continue the attack, or to retreat to the other side of the river, where you can defend the river bank.
Under normal circumstances, neither warring party can take the initiative to retreat safely.
They only fail and flee until one of them cannot hold on, or one of the generals is frightened regardless of losses.
Take the initiative to retreat.
If you don’t believe it, just watch.
In this terrain and environment, they will not stop even if they fight until dark, unless the weather changes drastically and a violent storm suddenly blows."
The battle continued, and the scene was very tragic.
After another half an hour, the Macedonians could no longer bear it.
The main reason was that the Macedonian leader was killed in a hurry after fighting with the Vladimir general. , the two fought hundreds of moves, and the Macedonian general was knocked off his horse by the Vlachi general with a sword.
Fortunately, he was blocked by a thick iron armor.
After the sword was struck, the armor was cut open.
Although the skin between the chest and abdomen was cut open, it was only a flesh wound and did not damage the sternum or internal organs.
Several Macedonian knights rushed up to block the Vlachi people.
The general continued to kill, and the Macedonian general almost died in this battle.
He was so frightened that he had no intention of fighting anymore.
He grabbed a horse and ran away quickly.
Facts have proved that the objective fact of "a raging soldier, a raging den" is beyond doubt.
The previous wars between the two tribes were all for survival.
Although there was a dispute of will, it was ultimately caused by the struggle for survival resources.
Therefore, the warriors of the two tribes fought with their lives without hesitation, and there was no obvious gap in the combat effectiveness between the cavalry of the two sides.
Without external influence, the only person who could decide the outcome of the battle was the commander in chief.
After the battle, part of the Vlachi cavalry went to hunt down the Macedonian cavalry, while the remaining part stayed to clean the battlefield, guard the prisoners, and count the loot.
Zhao Ziliang said: "The Fraqi people have sent people over, let's go over."
Zhang Huchen was not at ease with these Fraqi people.
He said: "Sir, if these Fraqi people are not good for us, are we going to be killed by our necks?"
Liang Zhenwu also said: "Yes, sir, although there is a tacit understanding among the various departments on the grassland not to embarrass the caravan, this is not an iron rule.
We still have to guard against it."
As a horse thief, the bandit leader Dubosare did not trust anyone.
He also said: "Yes, sir, there is no king's law in such a strange place.
Even if there is a king's law, it is other people's king's law and not ours."

We cannot place our hopes of survival on the king's law As for these people's compliance with the rules, we must know that in the face of huge interests, people's integrity cannot withstand the test.
Besides, if the Vladimirs regard us as being on the same side as the Macedonians, it will be useless for us to argue.
They We won’t be given this opportunity at all.”
After listening to what these people said, Zhao Ziliang weighed the words and ordered: "Tell everyone to be on guard in secret.
If you find anything wrong, follow my orders before taking action."
"yes" There were only a few knights riding over, and the remaining more than a hundred people were cleaning the battlefield.
This made Zhao Ziliang and others feel a little more relaxed.
Zhao Ziliang led everyone to rush forward with the horses carrying goods.
The leading knight, Frachi, rode up to Zhao Ziliang and others.
He reined up his horse, stroked his chest, and saluted: "May I ask where your distinguished guests are from and what they are doing here?"
Zhao Ziliang said: "We are a caravan from the Eastern and Western Qin Kingdom.
My servants and I came here with unparalleled sincerity and high-quality and cheap goods to make friends with your department.
All the goods in my caravan As long as your department can afford the price, I can sell it to you.
If you have local specialties that need to be processed, such as furs, ores, and everything else I need, I can buy them at a good price."
After hearing these words, the leading knight smiled on his face and stroked his chest again: "If this is the case, you and your caravan will be friends of all our Vlachi people.
Across all tribal lands, you and your servants will You will receive the warmest hospitality, please believe me, my friend, my name is Duters, all the tribes of the Vlaqi give me some respect, I would like to invite you to visit my territory first and meet us and other Flaqi people.
What do you think about pulling Qi people to trade?"
Zhao Ziliang cupped his fists and said: "I am very honored.
I am the second eldest child in the family.
You can call me Wang Laoer."
After listening to Zhao Ziliang's self-introduction, Duerles was very surprised and said: "You Orientals actually name you according to your ranking in the family.
We here usually name all the creatures and things in the world, just like my father.
I was named Duters, which means sharp spear, because when I spoke out, my father was fighting with the Slavs.
He was holding a sharp spear in his hand.
When he heard that I spoke out, The name was given to me immediately.”
Everyone in the caravan almost laughed out loud when they heard the origin of the name.
Zhao Ziliang couldn't help laughing and said: "Very good, your father gave you a good name.
No wonder you can lead your clan."
People defeated the Macedonians” Dutels was very proud, stretched out his hand to Zhao Ziliang and said: "Brother Wang Lao, please" "Brother Wang Lao Er" Everyone in the caravan almost burst into tears when they heard this title, but Zhao Ziliang didn't care, cupped his fists and said: "Please" Before dark, Zhao Ziliang followed Duters back to his territory with his caravan.
Nomadic tribes usually set up camps in areas with abundant water and grass.
Water sources are absolutely indispensable, and Duters' camp was stationed there.
On the riverside, the right side of the camp is the river, which is convenient for drawing water.
The left side of the camp is a large grassland and rolling low hills with lush vegetation and fertile weeds.
The worries and secret alerts of Zhao Ziliang and others seem to be unnecessary.
Except for the Western Qin Dynasty, which has no land border, other surrounding countries have bad relations with the Bulgar Khanate.
The Bulgars came to the Balkan Peninsula to confront The survival of the Avars has caused a lot of pressure.
The relationship between the two ethnic groups has not been good from the beginning to the end.
They have invaded the Eastern Roman Empire every year.
The Eastern Roman Empire has been imposing an economic blockade on the Bulgar Khanate for nearly two hundred years.
The lock prohibits all strategic materials from flowing into the Bulgar Khanate.
Therefore, the lives of all ethnic groups in the Bulgar Khanate are very difficult.
Especially in winter, materials are scarce.
Countless cattle and sheep freeze to death every year.
There is no rich material supply on the grassland.
At that time, as long as a caravan came, it would be great news for all the ministries.

Although Zhao Ziliang and his party came from the Macedonian territory, they did not doubt the identity and intentions of Zhao Ziliang and others at all.
The caravan had a very good time in the territory of the Vlaqi people.
After hearing the news, tribal chiefs, nobles and ordinary herdsmen all came to pick out the goods they liked, and brought their own stored furs and other local products. specialty.
In the evening of this day, Zhao Ziliang was directing the guards and the horse thieves who came with Dubosare to count the unsold goods.
A Fluqi knight galloped over on his horse and stopped in front of the camp to salute him: " Dear Mr.
Dongfang Wang, our leader has set up a banquet for you and other leaders from all over the country.
Please be sure to attend the banquet."
Zhao Ziliang clasped his fists and said, "Okay, please tell Chief Duters that I will definitely go."
After getting ready, Zhao Ziliang was going to take Zhang Huchen and two Dragon Guard guards to the banquet.
Greenlin ran out from the side and said, "I want to go too."
Zhao Ziliang couldn't help having a headache.
He pulled Grayling aside and said, "You are now disguised as a man.
Why are you going to a banquet like this?
If someone finds out your identity as a woman, it will be very troublesome.
I heard that the Fraqi people are very taboo about this.
Besides, Oh, have you forgotten that you were captured by the Bulgars?
If someone recognizes your identity, we will have no choice but to leave everything and run away."
Only then did Grayling angrily give up his plan to follow him to the banquet and returned to the tent alone.
Perhaps it was because the Vlaqi people had not held such a lively banquet for a long time.
Duters and other tribal leaders were having a great time.
They looked at some girls in the tribe wearing clothes that exposed their navels, legs, and arms.
Everyone was drooling while drinking and eating meat.
The person who poured wine for Zhao Ziliang and cut the meat was an ordinary-looking Frachi woman, but this woman’s beauty was considered to be of the highest rank among Frachi women.
Duteres came over and whispered to Zhao Ziliang: "Wang Second brother, how does this woman look?"
What could Zhao Ziliang say?
He could only say against his will: "She is very beautiful.
The women in your tribe are all beautiful."
"Hehe" Duteres smiled with a very lewd expression and whispered: "The caravan of the second brother Wang Lao has arrived to bring us good news and good luck.
She is my concubine, like the second brother Wang Lao If you don’t mind, let her serve you tonight.”
Zhao Ziliang was startled.
He also had this bad habit of asking his wife to accompany guests.
He said to himself that I am not a casual person.
This kind of beauty suits me, and I can't have it.
He quickly declined and said: "I accept the chief's intention.
But we are very tired from this journey and have no such interest at all.
I would like to thank you for your kindness anyway."
Although Duterse was a little unhappy when Zhao Ziliang said this, he did not mention the matter again:
