Nangong Ye stopped his horse in front of Yunyang who looked a little gloomy, his face also a little heavy.
"Commander, the situation is not good. The enemy neither attacks nor retreats. They are always hanging on both sides of us, not far or near. It is obvious that they want to prevent or delay our withdrawal.
Now how to do? Could it be that they already knew about the evacuation of the Six Guards of the New Army? Otherwise, if there were only 200,000 cavalry, how could they dare to tease us so blatantly? "
Yunyang was silent for a while and waved the command flag in his hand.
"Send the order, the cavalry stops feinting, charge on the spot, the infantry phalanx in front changes to the rear, and continues to retreat."
Nangong Ye immediately understood Yunyang's intention, which was to test whether the enemy army knew about the withdrawal of the Sixth Guards of the New Army from the Turkic battlefield.
If the enemy's divided forces also try to prevent the infantry from retreating, it means that their feelings have come true.
The enemy has really known that their own strength has suddenly been reduced by more than 200,000.
As for their intention to prevent the Northern Expedition from retreating, it is not particularly clear yet.
As the flag was waved, the combined infantry and cavalry formations of the Northern Expeditionary Army immediately changed. The cavalry galloped forward, waving their swords and charging toward the enemy. The infantry began to change their formations and gradually retreated southward.
The cavalry of the two countries, Jin and Tu, saw that the enemy was no longer feigning an attack this time, but launched a real charge. Under the command of the general, they also fought with the Dalong enemy mainly by harassing them.
There was no intention of detaching troops and horses to prevent the evacuation of the infantry.
Such a situation made the generals in Yunyang breathe a sigh of relief.
Perhaps it was just a coincidence that the enemy did not yet know that the Sixth Guards of the New Army had evacuated.
There were more than 200,000 cavalry to stop the enemy Jin Tu cavalry. Yunyang had no scruples and led his troops and horses to retreat southward one after another with the infantry generals.
Only the cavalry from the three parties were left to engage in a seemingly huge, but actually petty, war on the grassland.
On a high slope three or four miles away from the edge of the battlefield.
Huyan Yunyao and Wanyan Chiezha were stationed on horseback, guarded by a group of personal guards, holding telescopes in their hands to observe the melee between the three parties.
After a while, Huyan Yunyao put down the telescope in her hand and breathed out gently.
"This is an evenly matched battle, rather than being constantly pursued and surrounded, with no ability to fight back at all."
Wanyan Chizha nodded in agreement: "The Great Khan is right, the combat power of these large dragon cavalry is not weak, but in terms of military equipment, they are comparable to our cavalry.
Unlike the cavalry under Liu Mingzhi, they are simply abnormal.
Not to mention how powerful the long-range shooting of the big yellow bow is, the range of the light serial crossbows in their hands is far beyond the range of ordinary light bows.
I really can't believe how much money your senior brother invested into it behind the back of Dalong's court to form such a well-equipped elite cavalry. "
"Maybe a lot, but not so much that we can't even imagine it!"
Wanyan Chizha was stunned for a moment and looked at Huyan Yunyao in confusion.
"Why do you see this? With such a military preparedness, even the military department supported by Dalong's treasury cannot equip all the guards and horses."
“Every time there was a battle, Ben Khan was observing the military preparedness in the hands of the Six Guards of the New Army.
The weapons in their hands are very uniform, which means that all these weapons are mass-produced by craftsmen.
The only question is how they smelted so much refined steel. "
"Not only is Dahan full of doubts about this, I and Your Majesty are also puzzled.
Jin Guobing invested countless silver coins in the refinery embryos needed to forge dragon weapons, artillery, and bed crossbows, but still couldn't find a way.
Let’s not talk about artillery, just talk about the powerful crossbow in my niece’s hand. Even though the military commander tried his best, he couldn’t copy it.
According to His Majesty, the process of making the powerful hand crossbow took only about an hour, and the number of craftsmen who cast the powerful crossbow was only three.
Liu Mingzhi hides a big secret, a secret that not only we don't know, but even the military department of the Dalong court doesn't know.
Otherwise, once the military department of the Dalong court masters these technologies.
The cavalry of the Six Guards of the New Army are not the only ones who are armed to the teeth. It is feared that the veteran frontier troops such as the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang will already have a set of equipment. "
"Let's not talk about this for now. Can the King of Zhen really not tell Ben Khan where the Golden Queen has gone?
I guess I went to my senior brother Liu Mingzhi. I wonder if I am right? "
Wanyan Chizha smiled bitterly while stroking his beard.
"Great Khan, for the sake of your majesty's safety, I cannot tell you this.
But the Great Khan can rest assured that for now, our Kingdom of Jin will not do anything untoward against the Turkic Royal Court. After all, we now have a common and powerful opponent. "
"Okay, I hope it's as you said,
Continue to prevent the enemy from retreating. The enemy has already relaxed his vigilance. As for how to delay it for three months, it depends on the methods of the seniors. I will not continue to accompany you and leave first. "
"I'm sorry that I won't send you far away. I and Prince Huyanyu can handle the battle on the front line."
"Farewell."
Huyan Yunyao rushed away under the escort of his personal guards, while Wanyan Chizha continued to observe the situation on the battlefield in the distance.
It’s only three months, not too difficult.
When Wanyan Chiezha looked at the battlefield, he didn't notice that behind a slope a few miles away, a beautiful figure on horseback put away his telescope and released the golden eagle on his shoulder. His tender peach blossom eyes were filled with relief. With the bright colors, he pulled the reins of the horse and galloped towards the south.
Dalong's northern border is Yingzhou, standing side by side in the study room in the inner courtyard of the palace.
The door of the study room was closed tightly, and the quiet sound of pindrops could be heard in the courtyard. If it weren't for the crisp chirping of books and birds from time to time on the courtyard wall, people who didn't know better would have thought that the courtyard had been abandoned and uninhabited for many years.
The Queen, who had been in the study for about half an hour, did not stop from the moment she entered the door, and kept wandering around in the study.
The worry on her face was extremely obvious, her hands clapped her palms from time to time, and her lips opened and murmured.
Why is there still no movement at all? Why is there still no movement at all?
Compared to the restless Queen, Young Master Liu who was sitting behind the desk was unusually calm, looking through the information in his hand as calmly as an old dog.
After reading a pile of information, Liu Mingzhi only kept a few important ones, and threw the rest into the brazier that was half filled with ashes, and continued to review the following information.
The news that Liu Mingzhi had dropped the information awakened the anxious Queen.
The Queen raised her eyes and glanced at Mr. Liu, who was as steady as an old dog. She sighed silently and walked towards the desk.
"You heartless person, it's been five days and there's been no movement or news at all, how can you really sit still.
Are you not worried at all about whether the more than 200,000 soldiers and horses of the Six Guards of the New Army will obey your orders and return?
What if, instead of listening to your order, they report your intentions to the old guy Yunyang, then what your palace is waiting for may not be the Six Guards of the new army under your command, but the imperial court's 100,000 forbidden troops. .
Now that you are on the verge of burning your eyebrows, you still need to keep an eye on the information, and you will know what use it is to have information without soldiers and horses? "
Liu Mingzhi looked at the empress glaring at him with an extremely resentful look, shook his head helplessly, put down the information in his hand, squatted in front of the brazier, lit the fire fold, and started to ignite the information in the brazier.
"I can't show up at the moment. How can I know the current situation in the court without reading the intelligence?
How do you know whether people's support is available without looking at intelligence?
How do you know how the officials in the DPRK are doing without looking at the intelligence?
How to analyze the chances of winning by raising troops without looking at intelligence?
Without looking at the intelligence, how do you know whether the imperial court has firmly believed that I have been assassinated and will not take any further action against me?
Having been a commander for many years, I have become accustomed to the solid feeling of being able to strategize and win a victory thousands of miles away.
Otherwise, I would have no idea if I would act recklessly just because I have an army in hand. "
"So, shouldn't you be worried about whether the more than 200,000 cavalrymen of the Six Guards of the New Army will obey your orders and return?
As long as you have soldiers and horses in hand, all the next steps you have planned can be carried out. "
Liu Mingzhi looked at the fire in the brazier, stood up and walked towards the Queen, raised his hand and patted the Queen's shoulder.
“People plan things, but God decides to make things happen. What’s the use of haste?
What is supposed to come will come naturally. Whether you rush or not, it won't change anything.
It's better to wait patiently.
For now, the story of my assassination continues to unfold.
Judging from the response from the public, it is not a big problem to have a famous teacher.
Just wait a little longer. The grassland is vast and the whereabouts of the army change every day. It is understandable that Liu Song would be delayed for two days.
By the way, have you sent a letter to this old fox Wanyan Chizha? "
"Well, I have already sent it to Yue'er. I just want to know whether it has snowed on the grassland in the past few days, whether the golden eagle has lost its way in the snowstorm, and whether Yue'er has received the letter. I haven't received the reply yet. I’m not sure now.”
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, wait a little longer, there will be news!
It is a taboo for military strategists to mess up their positions! "
