Under the cover of night, Xu Mo personally led the 200 Tianji Battalion guards, relying on the secret route of Yinggang Mountain, bypassing the Beidi Forward Camp area and sneaking directly into the Beidi territory.
In an extremely dark building, Mo Li, who was sitting in the shadows, read the letter and put it on the candlestick to burn it.
He made a cold voice without any emotion: "Young Master has ordered us to retaliate against Beidi. How many Jin Yiwei have infiltrated into Beidi now?"
The chief of Jin Yiwei, who was also standing in the shadow, said solemnly: "There are three hundred people in total."
Li Qiye nodded: "End the intelligence search operation and launch an all-out assassination raid, focusing on high-value targets in Beidi!"
Beidchik County, a former general who was transferred from the Beidi capital and went to the front line.
Walking along the county official road, preparing to leave the city to inspect the accompanying grain team, he was suddenly attacked by a hidden arrow.
The arrow hit the former general's shoulder. Although it was not fatal, the arrow was coated with poison, making the wound fester and difficult to treat. Despite the fact that the city was under martial law, the assassin was quickly caught, but before he was captured, the assassin had already committed suicide by taking medicine.
Not long after the former general left Chike County, his wounds continued to worsen and he had to return to the royal capital.
The grain team rushing to the front line was suddenly attacked, and the deputy general escorting the grain and fodder was killed with an arrow.
The minister in charge of weapons escort stayed in the posthouse overnight and died suddenly in his sleep.
The eldest son of the Beidi royal family led a hunting expedition and was ambushed in the mountains.
The granary, which was only eighty miles away from the front line, was attacked late at night. The 800 defenders faced a fierce attack by 200 Tianji battalion guards and were defeated. The granary was burned to the ground, and the fire burned all night. A light cavalry force of 500 men came to support, but was ambushed by the guards of Tianji Battalion. They surrounded the area for reinforcements and the entire army was annihilated.
The entire Beidi frontline was in chaos, with fires everywhere...
In the capital of Beidi King, the King of Beidi frowned as he listened to the military reports reported by his ministers.
The minister supervising the war knew that King Beidi was already upset at this time.
However, the military situation was overwhelming, so he continued to report: "Your Majesty, according to the frontline reports, the recent series of wars are all the revenge of Qin Feng."
"In addition to the Tianji Camp guards stationed in Beixi County who came out in full force, there is also a hidden force that is causing trouble everywhere in our territory."
"Since the beginning of Qin Feng's revenge, at this moment, a total of seven generals of level 5 or above have been attacked. Although their lives are safe, the weapons used by the opponents are extremely insidious. They are either smeared with poison or the iron armor-piercing arrows are seriously rusted. , whenever someone is shot, the wound will worsen and needs to be urgently transferred back to the capital for treatment, otherwise it will inevitably follow Chen Si’s footsteps and develop into a serious disease."
"In addition, the loss of food, grass and equipment has also been extremely serious. The loss has reached... a million taels of silver."
Hearing this, the King of Beidi, who was in his fifties and had a face as big as a tiger, couldn't help shouting angrily: "How could a mere stragglers cause such a huge loss? What do the frontline officials do for food?"
The Minister of War Supervision lowered his head and responded: "We have captured many spies from the Tianji Camp, but... none of them have been caught alive so far."
The King of Beidi was even more angry: "Where are the Tianji Camp guards? Even if the Tianji Camp guards guarding Beixi County come out in full force, they are only two hundred. Our frontline army is more than hundreds of thousands? How can we allow a mere two hundred people to be arrogant!"
The war supervising minister was quite helpless: "Although there are only 200 Tianji camp guards, they are extremely brave and attack from left and right. They march very fast and attack a granary. They either retreat immediately or lie in ambush at the scene of the incident, waiting for reinforcements." If they appear, they will be caught off guard. If we want to rescue the granary as soon as possible, we need to send Qingqi, but Qingqi is unable to resist the ambush of the Tianji Camp guards."
"If we send heavy armored infantry or heavy cavalry but go too slowly, the Tianji Battalion guards will have already fled."
"You can't defeat them if you have a small number of people, but if you have a large number of people..."
King Beidi shouted angrily: "That's enough!"
"I naturally know the bravery of the guards of Tianji camp! There are only two hundred people, is there nothing we can do? Since it is inconvenient to mobilize the army, then send Night Owl!"
Hearing the word "Night Owl", the war supervising minister was even more helpless: "Your Majesty! The Night Owl is in charge of assassination and spying, and the guards of Tianji camp are good at hard fighting. Sending the Night Owl there is like hitting a stone with an egg! He is the leader of Liang's army. Hei Weisi would never dare to fight head-on with the Tianji camp guards. As the saying goes, there are specialties in the art..."
"I've heard enough!" King Beidi interrupted again.
King Beidi was filled with boredom.
Since the beginning of the war between the two countries, Beidi has always had an advantage and was overwhelmed. Although this advantage still exists today, it has been stumbling over a small Beixi County.
The speed of development in Beixi County made even Beidi King stunned.
Ordinarily, the development of a city can take as short as decades or as long as several generations, but Beixi County is... changing with each passing day. It seems that as long as Qin Feng issues an order, Beixi County can unite as one and go in the direction of the decree. Push hard. Take building a city wall for example!
Expanding the outer city wall of Beixi County is such an arduous project that it cannot be completed without the efforts of tens of thousands of people over several years.
But according to the spies' reports, one-third of Beixi County's outer city wall has been built!
Moreover, there were only a few thousand civilians building the wall, or what kind of "three shifts"?
The peasants only work three hours a day, serving delicious food and drinks, and they are all like uncles. How can they show any signs of labor?
But it just so happened that all those civilian workers worked hard. The workload of three hours was equivalent to a day and night of foreign workers.
With three shifts like this, doesn't one day equal three days? !
So does Beixi County have endless money to spend or endless food to eat? It is incredible that it has not collapsed despite such squandering.
Now Beixi County cannot be conquered without attacking it.
If the troops are withdrawn, with the speed of development of Beixi County, it will not be long before it becomes an important town. Even if Beidi captures the frontier camp and tears the entire Daliang frontline into pieces, what will happen?
As long as Beixi County is there, we will never be able to take a step further in the direction of Daliang.
The balance of this war of attrition has begun to tilt towards the main beam.
It happened that at this time, Qin Feng, a stupid young man, was provoked. He took crazy revenge for a maid and ordered all the guards from the Tianji Camp to come out...
When he thought that Beidi had lost a million taels, the King of Beidi was secretly upset. When he implemented the revenge plan, he should have chosen an important minister in the Liang Dynasty instead of Qin Feng.
If it doesn't work, just kill Qin Feng in one go. How could we end up in such a passive situation today?
The King of Beidi was still in disbelief. He stared at the minister supervising the war and said word by word: "Then Qin Feng...is this revenge...really for a maid?"
As soon as these remarks came out, the whole hall fell into silence.
Not to mention the King of Beidi, the civil and military ministers present also found it incredible.
