On the endless wasteland, the cold wind howled and the rain and snow fell.

In the distant sky, rolling clouds resemble the haze of war, foreshadowing the coming snowstorm.

In the center of the wasteland, the two armies faced each other like giant beasts threatening each other.

The cavalry of the army led by Bai Qi were like a torrent of steel, and their cold armor shone with an indifferent brilliance in the wind and snow.

The spears in their hands are like sharp arrows in the jungle, ready to go.

Zhao Xuanjia's first general, Shi Shouxin, also led an army of 50,000 and was also an elite in Jingzhou.

The murderous intent and determination in their eyes were like a pack of wolves at night, staring closely at their prey.

The two sides have already fought several games, and at the beginning, Zhao Xuanjia's first general Shi Shouxin and Liu Zhu's first general Fan Kuai joined forces with a very fierce momentum.

Bai Qi and Wang Jian both focused on defending and were unwilling to fight to the death with such a coalition.

After all, Jingzhou and Hanzhong no longer belong to the jurisdiction of their Highness, King Yan.

There is no need to really sacrifice the family fortune to help Prince Daqian defend the capital.

But then again.

In the capital, there lived the father of King Yan Xiao Zheng, and the Da Qian Army Shenyue Shan, who was his master.

He couldn't ignore death.

Besides, if Zhao Xuanjia and Liu Zhu were to capture the capital, it would be of little benefit to Xiao Zheng.

It seemed that this was entirely the prince's fault.

He could take the opportunity to force Prince Xiao Yi to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of his throne.

However, the first loss was Daqian's emperor, Daqian's military god, and Daqian's national destiny.

From then on, the hidden dangers left behind were too great.

Xiao Zheng had to save him.

The second loss was naturally the face of the Xiao family, the royal family of Daqian, as the entire capital was breached.

Even if he takes it back later, it will leave a big stain.

It is precisely because of this that Xiao Zheng showed great loyalty directly after Xiao Yi personally conquered Xixia. The two were also brothers and sisters, and Xiao Zheng published an article in Di Bao.

It was precisely because of this that Zhao Xuanjia had scruples.

Only then did Liu Zhu be persuaded. The two joined forces and used a quick battle to defeat Xiao Zheng in Jiangdong. At the same time, Liu Zhu went to capture the capital on his own.

In other words, in order to overthrow Daqian, Zhao Xuanjia directly gave Liu Zhu the opportunity to capture the capital.

If Liu Zhu really captured the capital, he could have used the emperor to control the princes, or he could have killed the emperor and established himself as emperor.

Let's say that on the battlefield in Jiangdong, the order was issued and it instantly became the prelude to the war.

The torrent of cavalry rushed violently towards the enemy, stirring up dust.

At the same time, the alliance armies of Zhao Xuanjia and Liu Zhu also launched a fierce offensive, as fierce as a violent storm.

The arrows shot out of the sky like dense raindrops, roared across the air, and landed among the enemy troops.

In the fierce battle, every warrior roared like a wild beast, and their fighting power and courage inspired a formidable aura.

Blood and flames intertwined together to form a heroic picture. The collision of knives and the battle between life and death are magnified and exaggerated in this wasteland every moment.

In this majestic battle scene, the cruelty and heroism of war are vividly displayed.

What was once a desolate land soon became a hell on earth.

Blood dyed the earth red.

The rainwater may form a puddle or a thin stream of red water, flowing to the surrounding areas.

Despite the fierce fighting, the generals of the two armies still calmly observed the situation.

They stare at the battlefield like cheetahs, always ready to deliver a fatal blow.

Their eyes were full of determination and coldness, and no expression could escape their vigilance.

They are always ready to make decisions, like players in a chess game, laying out the board with precision.

Finally, Shi Shouxin discovered a weak point of the opponent and immediately issued an order.

A group of soldiers wearing heavy black armor appeared in front of the formation, and the giant swords in their hands shone with cold light.

Without warning, they rushed forward, like an iron wall cutting through the waves on the battlefield.

Soon, that weak spot became a dead end, and it was estimated that more than a thousand people died in the battle.

When Shi Shouxin planned to use this point as a breakthrough to defeat Bai Qi's army, the first of Yanyun's Sixteenth Cavalry, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

The flag fluttering in the wind was suddenly raised, and then the black-armored cavalry charged quickly, directly scattering the cavalry formation he sent out.

Obviously, the flaw just now was a trap.

It was still a very clever trap. Shi Shouxin was also a famous general. He had been thinking about this trap for a while, but the war had reached a stalemate and this trap looked more and more like a flaw.

Shi Shouxian kept his word.

Bai Qi's strategy was successful and his army gained a decisive advantage.

There was a cunning and cruel light in his eyes, as if he was mocking the enemy's weakness.

He knew that victory in this war was in sight.

Of course, the war didn't end there.

Although the trap just now lured a group of the opponent's cavalry and made the advantage obvious, the enemy showed no signs of surrender.

They began to gather their remaining strength and prepare for a final resistance. Arrows flew in the air, and to the rhythm of the war drums, the battle entered a fierce stage.

At this time, the sky also slowly darkened, as if day and night were alternating.

The first rain and snow turned into snowflakes, and then the snowflakes became bigger and bigger.

Finally, when Ma Chao's three thousand light cavalry were all exhausted, Shi Shouxin's heavy armored cavalry were also defeated by the opponent, and fell into the quagmire of the battlefield, unable to extricate themselves. This war was about to end.

It had to end, and continuing to fight would only make the losses greater.

"Ugh...!"

Shi Shouxin swallowed his saliva and gave the order to withdraw his troops.

This would have been a fate-changing war.

As long as you win this battle.

Zhao Xuanjia could leave a few troops behind and immediately go to Chang'an with the main force, joining Liu Zhu to attack the capital.

But they lost.

The opponent's formation is not large, but the flexibility on the battlefield, as well as the commander's temperament, vision, qualifications, etc., are the key to determining victory or defeat.

Bai Qi is too stable and too ruthless.

He used a thousand men and horses as bait to lure more than 3,000 Shi Shouxin's cavalry, and finally swallowed them all.

In this way, Shi Shouxin did not dare to continue the fight.

And once the troops are withdrawn, it will be very difficult to have such a war situation again.

Because morale is gone.

Shi Shouxin was depressed.

Zhao Xuanjia also sighed secretly.

The number of Daqianqi is not exhausted.

He had just received news that the Prince Supervisor had captured Xingqing Mansion and would make a triumphant return soon.

He was amazed, that was Xixia!

At that time, Xixia, a foreign state that had not been conquered by Daqian for hundreds of years, and invaded the borders of Daqian countless times, causing headaches to the monarchs and ministers of Daqian, was thus destroyed.

Is that Prince Supervisor really so brave?

Once the prince returns to Beijing, he and Liu Zhu may have no choice but to flee.

What should I do?
