On the northeastern shore of Lake Balaton, the West Qin North Route Army Camp.
The commander of the Chinese army, Qin Wuyang, quickly walked into the tent and reported to Liang Zhenwu, who was looking at the map, "Commander, the Western Allied Forces sent an envoy to declare a war on us."
Liang Zhenwu was stunned after hearing this, looked up at Qin Wuyang and asked: "Where is the letter of war?"
Qin Wuyang immediately handed over the letter of challenge.
Liang Zhenwu took it and opened it, looked at it with a thoughtful look on his face, and then asked: "How many people know about this?"
Qin Wuyang said: "Hey, there were many soldiers present at that time.
The other party not only issued a letter of war, but also stated the contents personally.
Now all the soldiers in the whole battalion know about it."
Liang Zhenwu sighed: "It seems that the other side has planned all this and forced us to fight with them to determine the outcome.
Send an order to all the soldiers in the army to make fire and make food at Mao tomorrow, and go to war at Chen."
Liu Guangjian, the commander of the left army next to him, said anxiously: "Commander, no, your Majesty's decree for us is to cut off the coalition's return route.
If there is no time, we must hold them back instead of fighting them in a decisive battle.
No matter whether we win or lose this battle, No matter what, the commander-in-chief is suspected of disobeying the will."
Liang Zhenwu shook his head and said: "Of course I know that doing this is against the will, but if we don't do this, the 50,000 of us will be in danger.
Now the whole battalion knows the news.
If we don't fight, the whole army will Morale is bound to be low.
When morale is low, we cannot take the initiative and can only defend passively.
But we are cavalry, not infantry.
Have you ever heard of cavalry being used to fight defensive battles?
The Western Allied Forces will definitely take advantage of our low morale to come.
Attacking us, whether we stay in place or retreat, whether we stay in place or retreat, is exactly what the Chinese and Western coalition forces want.
They are going to annihilate our 50,000 elite cavalry in one fell swoop.
If we stay in place, they will have nothing to ask for; if we withdraw, Let's go, they can go west immediately.
Our goal of containing and holding them back will not be achieved.
When the time comes for the higher authorities to investigate, we will still have to take the blame.
If it were you, what would you choose?"
The generals in the tent looked at each other, stood up and saluted with fists clasped together: "If the higher ups are held responsible for violating the order, we are willing to share the responsibility with the commander-in-chief."
Liang Zhenwu was quite happy in his heart, but he did not show it on his face.
He waved his hand and said: "If I wait until I am still alive after the war to talk about this matter, everyone should prepare now.
If this battle is fought well, it will be completely destroyed."
If the main force of the Western Allied Forces does not fight well in this battle, we will be the sinners of the Western Qin Dynasty."
"yes" Belgrade, West Qin Middle Route Army Camp.
That night, Zhao Zi's conscience was quite irritable, as if something big was about to happen.
Could it be that something was going to happen to the North Route Army?
With Liang Zhenwu's experience in leading troops, even if he didn't win, it wouldn't be a big defeat.
At this time, Captain Duan Wei, the scout, came in and reported: "Your Majesty's spies from the front came to report that they could not find any trace of the enemy even when they reached the corner of the Danube River.
After questioning the locals, they found out that the main force of the Western Allied Forces did not go north along the Danube River, but was already at the Danube River.
They turned around and headed towards Lake Balaton four days ago.
It seems they wanted to evacuate to Bavaria through Lake Balaton."
This news made Zhao Ziliang's conscience suddenly pound.
He immediately walked to the map and found the corner of the Danube River.
He quickly calculated in his mind that at the marching speed of the coalition's cavalry and infantry, they should be able to reach the vicinity of Lake Balaton in four days.
This result made Zhao Ziliang's I feel increasingly uneasy.
Zhao Ziliang then thought about it, Liang Zhenwu might be capable enough to deal with other people, but Liang Zhenwu's opponents were old and cunning tycoons and emperors like Charlie.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ziliang couldn't calm down in his conscience, not to mention other people.

Speaking of Charlie, he fought his way to the position of emperor, rather than just sitting back and enjoying the success.
Thinking of this level, Zhao Ziliang was suddenly frightened and immediately shouted outside: "Here comes Xuan Wei Gao" The eunuch on duty outside immediately screamed: "Your Majesty has a decree, and Xuan Wei Gao and Li Su have an audience."
Wei Gao and Li Su rushed over quickly.
When they saw Zhao Ziliang, they paid homage: "I, Wei Gao and Li Su, are here to see your majesty."
Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and said: "Get up, the situation is urgent, so I won't be rambling.
I am worried that Liang Zhenwu is no match for Charlie's gang of cunning guys.
You two will immediately mobilize 10,000 elite cavalry and set off overnight to rush to Liang Zhenwu's aid."
"I obey the decree" East shore of Lake Balaton.
The Western Qin North Route Army and the Western Allied Forces fought fiercely in the wide area east of the lake.
The forces of both sides were too large to be assembled at the same time for the final decisive battle.
They could only conduct small-scale contact battles at the beginning.
To quickly understand the opponent's combat effectiveness and true strength.
After two days of testing, both sides have a certain understanding of the enemy's strength and are quite wary of each other.
The advantage of the coalition lies in its large number of troops and strong defensive equipment, but its overall weakness is poor maneuverability.
Since it is a coalition, the command is difficult.
It cannot be very unobstructed; the advantages of the Western Qin cavalry are strong mobility, sharp riding and shooting, and they also have advantages in frontal charging.
There are 8,000 heavy cavalry, but the opponent also has many heavy armored cavalry that can act as a restraint.
The Western Qin cavalry also has the advantage of being surrounded by plains, which is conducive to the cavalry galloping.
However, the Western Qin cavalry also has disadvantages, accounting for the majority.
The light cavalry had insufficient protection, and it was not wise to use light cavalry to confront Frank's heavy armored infantry and cavalry head-on.
Allied Forces Camp.
Grete, the governor of Macedonia, sighed: "Since the invasion of the Western Qin Dynasty, I have fought many battles with the Western Qin army.
These two days are the first time I have seen the majesty and fighting of the Western Qin cavalry.
This reputation is really not what I have blown away."
Yes, but they have real abilities.
I only look at their riding skills.
Their cavalry is simply incomparable.
If such a small-scale fight continues, it will be extremely detrimental to us.
If we don't think of other methods, we are afraid that we will be overwhelmed by them before we can destroy them.
You know There is still a main force from the West Qin Middle Road behind that has not come yet."
At this time, Charlie stood up and said in a deep voice: "There is no other way.
Tomorrow the whole army will press forward and force the Western Qin people to fight us decisively."
Leo V asked: "Most of them are light cavalry.
Although there are many heavy cavalry, are they willing to give up their mobility advantage to fight us head-on?
And there are flat areas all around.
If it were me, I would It certainly wouldn’t be so unwise.”
Charlie said: "So we have to give them a little taste of the sweetness.
After the formation tomorrow, the Macedonian Army, Dalmatian Army, and Serbian Army will press forward first.
If you are defeated, retreat, and let my Frankish Army do the rest." , as long as the Western Qin cavalry does not withdraw immediately, we will be sure to entangle them and force them to fight decisively."
Pathanicus, governor of Thrace, asked: "Are you sure?"
Charlie said: "If you don't try, how will you know that this is the only way now?"
This was a rush of money, and they were helpless.
Everyone could only bite the bullet and agree.
In fact, they had no choice but to agree.
At this point, there was no retreat.

After the meeting, Charlie called his confidant General Oliver to his side and said: "Oliver, you heard what we just said, but in fact it is only on the surface.
This arrangement cannot defeat the 50,000 Xi Qin cavalry.
If you want to defeat the 50,000 Xi Qin cavalry, Qin Cavalry, we still have to make some secret arrangements.
This is why I left you alone."
Oliver saluted and said: "Your Majesty, please give the order."
Charlie ordered: "You immediately mobilize all the idle men in the army to build fortifications by the lake overnight.
This is the fortification map.
You just need to build the fortifications according to the drawings on it.
It must be completed before dawn tomorrow.
I will Twenty thousand elite infantry will be sent to take over.
Twenty thousand elite infantry You will be in command.
You are responsible for the organization and construction of the fortifications.
You are the most familiar with the fortifications, so I feel most at ease leaving you in charge of the defense of this fortification.
My plan is this.
After the entire army is pressed in tomorrow, I will Let those miscellaneous troops attack first.
The Western Qin army will not attack our Frankish army from the front.
Infantry square formation, but they will definitely not be soft on these miscellaneous troops.
As long as the miscellaneous troops are defeated, the Western Qin Army will definitely continue to pursue them.
By then, they will think that the morale of our Frank Army has also been affected, so they are likely to attack In our military formation, I will pretend to be defeated, defend one step at a time and retreat to the lake.
Then we use the lakeside defensive formation and corresponding offensives to resist the Western Qin cavalry.
Only by letting them smash their heads and bleed in front of the fortifications we built can their morale drop, and then prepare five thousand people.
Attack their rear camp, then it’s time for us to fight back.”
Charles was worthy of being a battle-hardened emperor.
He not only had excellent military qualities, but also had sophisticated planning.
This move was similar to the Chinese allusion of "a last stand".
As we all know, forming a formation with your back to the water is a taboo in the art of war.
Any general who is proficient in the art of war will generally not form an array near the water.
This is a way of self-destruction.
This move seems to be to risk death, but in fact Whether it's a soldier or an army The military quality of the officers is very high.
Only well-trained troops with extremely tenacious fighting will can withstand the enemy's attack without being pushed into the river.
The general mob arrayed by the water cannot withstand the enemy's attack.
Attacked fiercely and collapsed.
The reason why Han Xin was able to succeed in the last-ditch battle was that he had done a lot of homework.
He trained his troops well, and his troops were well-trained and tenacious in fighting.
Moreover, he also built a large number of defensive offensives by the river and fully understood them in advance.
Knowing the enemy's situation, he sent 2,000 men to take a small road to sneak attack the rear camp of King Zhao's army.
Otherwise, how could he withstand the fierce attack of King Zhao's army of 200,000 with 12,000 men, and finally counterattack to win:
