May 28th of the first year of Yongping.
Under the pressure of time, Wanyan Chizha once again let his army break through the Dragon Gate Formation. In the end, he had to choose to withdraw his troops and return to the camp after losing thousands of soldiers and horses.
In the past ten days, Wanyan Chizha had thoroughly understood the horror of the Dragon Gate Formation. Although he had figured out some of the rules of the evolution of the formation and killed many of Dalong's troops, his own side also suffered heavy losses.
If those auxiliary soldiers had not stalled during the formation conversion and had not effectively executed the orders of Liu Dashao's formation flag, I am afraid that the losses would have been even more severe.
Just like this, Wanyan Chizha became even more aware of the horror of the Longmen Formation.
Half of the auxiliary soldiers are mixed in, and they can still swarm thousands of troops with the operation of the formation. What kind of power will it be if they are all replaced by elite divisions to run the formation?
Until the last time they broke the formation today, both sides were in an awkward situation.
Wanyan Chizha did not dare to lead his troops to break the formation again, and Liu Mingzhi did not dare to withdraw from the formation and attack.
Liu Mingzhi was also amazed at Wanyan Chizha, an old man's methods. Several small-scale operations to break the formation really allowed him to discover many loopholes in the Longmen Formation.
It's not that Wanyan Chizha's eyes are so powerful, but that the current Longmen formation is full of flaws due to the strength of its troops.
A formation that only requires an army of 700,000 people can achieve its true power, but how can 140,000 people exert its true power?
In the Jin Army camp, Yelumo looked at Wanyan Chizha with a gloomy face pleadingly.
"Commander, please let the general lead the brothers from the death camp to break the formation once more. As long as we can find a few more loopholes in the Longmen Formation, the general will not hesitate to die!"
Wanyan Chizha glared at Yelv Mo.
"You are not afraid of death, but you have to consider the lives of your brothers. They are also the sons of your mother and father. How could I let you die in vain again?"
"It's true that you dare to die, but you can't die in vain anymore."
"The power of the Dragon Gate Formation is far from what we see, or perhaps we underestimated the Dragon Gate Formation too much from the beginning."
Yelv Mo didn't dare to continue competing with Wanyan Chizha, so he beat his hands and stamped his feet and sighed.
"The general doesn't want our brothers to die in vain, but now Dalong's new recruits may go to the north, and the day to station in the six cities in northern Xinjiang is getting closer and closer. It's already so difficult to fight now. If we wait for their reinforcements to arrive, we Isn’t it even more of a dilemma?”
"As long as we can attack the dragon, our brothers will deserve their death if they sacrifice their lives for the country."
"For the eternal foundation of Daikin, I will never regret it."
The rest of the generals looked at Yelv Mo beating his hands and stamping his feet and sighed silently. It seemed that Yelv Mo still hadn't gotten over what happened a few days ago.
He always felt that it was because of his own ideas that so many brothers died in vain on the battlefield.
Wanyan Chizha gently patted Yelv Mo's shoulder. He still valued this junior very much. He was brave and resourceful, but his temper was a bit too fiery, and he was far inferior to his father, Yelu Hu.
If one is blinded by hatred on the battlefield, one will often suffer greater losses.
"Boy, don't worry, there is a piece of information here, please pass it on to each other!"
As he spoke, Wanyan Chizha took out an opened letter from under the paperweight and handed it to Yelv Mo's hand.
Yelv Mo was startled, took the letter, looked through it, and then handed it to other generals with disbelief.
After each general present circulated the letter, they all looked at Wanyan Chizha. Their expressions were different from Yelv Mo's. They all had suspicious eyes, as if they did not believe in the authenticity of the content in the letter.
"Commander, as of two days ago, there was no news of new recruits from the Dalong Military Department and the Household Department leaving the camp to go north. How is this possible?"
"Yes, the war in Northern Xinjiang is in full swing right now. Dalong has not sent new recruits to the north until now. This is completely unreasonable. Is it difficult to defeat Dalong and want to watch our cavalry knock on the gate and come in?"
"If this is really the case, the general will naturally be very happy. As long as there are no reinforcements in the northern border of Dalong, our offensive does not need to be so hasty. In this way, we can calm down and deal with Dalong's defenders. But it is Because of this, the general can't believe it anymore. There must be a monster if something goes wrong. This matter is too mysterious. Maybe it's Dalong's plan to mislead the enemy. We must guard against it!"
"General Mucha's words make sense, General Mo will second his opinion!"
"Given the behavior of Dalong's gang of civil and military officials, they would like to keep us outside the pass and not allow us to enter the pass even half a step. There are no troops to support the northern border. This is a big joke. The general suggested sending more troops. Some spies rushed to find out the true situation of the matter to see if Dalong's new recruits had taken a detour, hoping to catch us off guard while we relaxed our vigilance."
"Soldiers are treacherous. Dalong's generals play this sentence very miraculously. We must be careful, otherwise a small mistake may lead us into the abyss."
Wanyan Chizha looked at the generals who were loyally admonishing and gently stroked the beard on his chin: "I have thought carefully about your worries one by one. At first, I also thought that this was Dalong's plan to hide the truth, and its purpose was to make you We relaxed our vigilance and slowed down the speed of our attack on the city, while they took a detour elsewhere to catch up with our general, thus preparing for a sudden arrival of heavenly troops on us."
"But this information was not obtained by our spies, but a secret report sent by the Admiral under the command of His Majesty."
"You have all been veterans for many years. You are not aware of His Majesty's eagerness to conquer the Great Dragon and dominate the world."
"It can be said that I, Dajin, am no more anxious than Your Majesty about the outcome of this trip south."
"In this case, His Majesty has sent this secret report. Do you think that if His Majesty is not 100% sure that this secret report will reach my hands?"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. They themselves did not dare to doubt the Queen. After all, it was His Majesty's will to go south this time. There must be no one who wants to dominate the world more than Your Majesty.
"how so?"
"I don't know, but it is said that there seems to be a problem with Dalong's household department. Your Majesty is still letting spies continue to investigate the specific situation."
"We don't need to be so urgent now to get into a stalemate with Dalong's troops. We need to take a long-term view on how to break Liu Mingzhi's Dragon Gate Formation."
"Your Majesty asked the Ministry of War to send a secret order overnight. Our newly cast artillery will be transported to Shanhaiguan within five days."
"Liu Mingzhi couldn't wait to destroy our artillery a few days ago. The reason is obvious. He was afraid that our artillery would render the Longmen Formation useless and force us to use our soldiers to break it."
"Now that Dalong's reinforcements can't arrive in time, our pressure is much less."
"It is not uncommon for troops to fight for three to five years. Now we have only fought for more than a month. What can we call for?"
"The letter I sent to Taichang Khan has not received a reply for a long time. It is impossible to come to Yingzhou to join forces and ask her to help us break Liu Mingzhi's Dragon Gate Formation!"
"In this case, we can only rely on our own abilities."
"The second batch of artillery has more than seventy pieces, and dozens of artillery fire at once, enough to break through Liu Mingzhi's Longmen Formation."
A group of generals had excited expressions on their faces.
"Your Majesty is wise and your commander is mighty!"
The look on Wanyan Chizha's face gradually became more relaxed. He had been having trouble sleeping and eating these days due to the Dragon Gate Formation. Now he finally got some good news.
"Yelümo, Mucha, Su Liang, and Yi Taijin listen to the order!"
"We obey orders!"
"Continue to break the formation in a small area, and don't make Liu Mingzhi suspicious. When the second batch of artillery arrives, Liu Mingzhi will pay for his blood debt."
"Got the order!"
"Wanyan Changzhong obeys the order!"
"The humble position is here!"
"You lead three hundred personal guards, disguise themselves and sneak into the hinterland of Dalong in batches to secretly check whether there is any army heading north."
"Although I believe in His Majesty's abilities, I have to be careful just to be safe."
"It is related to the foundation of our Kingdom of Jin. I must not see any mistakes."
"Got the order!"
