"Commander, the army in Mobei has launched a counterattack against us."
"Hold the pass, suppress it with archers, set up a shield formation, and defend it to the death."
"promise!"
Li Jin looked at the map, his eyes flashing. Since the fish has taken the bait, tonight is the time to close the net.
He just doesn’t know if the fish he caught is the fish he wants to eat!
"Master!"
Wu Zhou's bloody figure walked into the commander's tent with a dejected look on his face. Unexpectedly, he was forced to retreat after charging several times. He underestimated the combat power of Mobei's soldiers!
"How's the battle going?"
"Thirty thousand soldiers, more than half were killed or injured."
"Um!"
Li Jin didn't seem surprised. After a long time, he said calmly: "In half an hour, we will attack again."
"Master, now the pass has been heavily defended by Mobei. Even if our 200,000 troops swarm up, I'm afraid it will be difficult to rush out."
"Try it!"
Li Jin's expression remained unchanged and he just kept staring at the map on the wall. Wu Zhou slightly bowed his hands in a military salute and silently exited the tent.
After walking out of the commander's tent, Li Jin took out the telescope that his apprentice had received from His Highness King Yong, looked in the direction of the pass, and couldn't help but murmured: "It's really a copper wall and an iron wall!"
"pity……"
There was a sparkle in the old marshal's eyes, and he began to remain silent, looking at the gradually darkening sky, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
He was indeed defeated in this round, but even if he was completely defeated, he still had to bite off a few pieces of meat.
…
The battle in Changyan City also came to an end. After a charge, Lan Yu's 20,000 cavalry went straight past the camp in Mobei and headed north.
Under the cover of Yue Fei, Beiwei's army successfully returned to the city. The camp in Mobei was in a state of panic, suffering heavy casualties, and even two of Dayu's cavalry were able to escape.
This made Tie Xuanzhen furious and cursed at all the Mobei generals.
"A bunch of trash, a mere 30,000 cavalrymen, can come and go freely in my camp of hundreds of thousands of people. What use do I want you to do?"
"It's been a whole day, and I haven't even touched the towers of Changyan City. Instead, I've lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses!"
"Asshole!"
Dozens of generals hung their heads in the commander's tent and remained silent until a veteran came out and slightly raised his hands: "Commander, we lost this battle for three reasons."
"Hmph, when will it be your turn to speak in my handsome tent?"
As soon as he said this, the generals nearby also silently distanced themselves from this old man who looked different from ordinary people. He was not a native of Mobei. He was once a famous general in Dayan. Later, in an accident, he offended He killed the powerful people of Da Yan and fled to Mobei, seeking refuge in the desert.
"Tell me, why did you lose this battle?"
"Come back to the commander, Dayu's cavalry have strong armor and sharp blades. Our arrows can't break their armor, but our leather armor can't resist their arrows."
"In Dayu's Changyan City, there are those terrifying giant crossbows that can shoot more than a thousand steps, and there are so many of them that even our son-in-law can't resist them even with his shield!"
"And that damn catapult, a crossbow machine with a short range but capable of firing continuously."
"This is our disadvantage, but in Dayu's city defense battle, it is a great advantage."
A general from Mobei mentioned Dayu's weapons and armor. His teeth itched with anger, but he was helpless, with a look of decadence on his face.
Tie Xuanzhen squinted his eyes, looked around silently, and said calmly: "Starting tonight, we will closely defend against Dayu's attack on the camp and set traps outside the camp."
"promise!"
"Repair for one day, and attack the city with all your strength tomorrow morning."
…
City of King Yu.
By evening, the entire City of King Yu was already in a state of panic. The news that troops from Mobei were about to approach the city had already spread throughout the city, and the city gates had been closed early in the morning.
Many people in nearby villages have sought refuge with relatives and friends, leaving this dangerous area.
The government also took the initiative to evacuate and moved the people from the villages around Yuwang City into temporary residences in the city in advance.
Storm is coming.
"tread!"
"tread!"
With the sound of galloping horses' hooves, outside the north city gate, a group of cavalry troops approached the city, their wolf cavalry fluttering and their flags fluttering.
But the strange thing is that Dayu didn't react too much, but at the Martyrs Cemetery outside the city, there was an unknown group of heavy armored troops equipped with strong bows and crossbows.
The Imperial Tombs in the west of the city were also guarded by the Forbidden Army early in the morning. Therefore, although the Imperial City of Dayu was besieged, it was not in a particularly embarrassing situation.
"Report——"
"Your Majesty, the cavalry from Mobei has arrived at the city and has now surrounded the imperial city."
"Um!"
Emperor Yu nodded slightly. It had been expected, so he did not react too radically. Instead, he sat in the imperial study room with a calm face and looked at Ji Sui in front of him calmly: "Ji Shangshu, the cavalry of Mobei." The army has already reached the city, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, the Tianyu Army has entered the city. With the Tianyu Army and the Forbidden Army stationed there, the capital is safe."
"As long as His Highness King Yong's army arrives, the Mobei Iron Cavalry will be destroyed without an attack."
Seeing Ji Sui's confident look, Emperor Yu's expression gradually turned playful: "Since Ji Aiqing knows about the Tian Yu Army, do you know who the commander of the Tian Yu Army is?"
"I heard that it's Ning Rulai, the crown prince of King Qin?"
"good!"
Emperor Yu smiled and nodded. Xie Xingxian, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, also had a confused look on his face. He wondered why his majesty suddenly summoned them at this critical moment.
"Then do you know who the deputy commander of the Tian Yu Army is?"
"This...I don't know."
"Your Majesty, Tianyu's army has always been mysterious, and I don't know about it."
"Hahaha!"
Emperor Yu smiled, stood up, swept his body over Ji Sui's body, and landed on Xie Xingxian's body: "Xie Aiqing, I heard that your son is very accomplished in military affairs?"
"This..." Xie Xingxian's face was filled with a dry smile: "Your Majesty is joking, Quanzi is an out-and-out prodigal, he can't be good at literature or martial arts. No, I traveled to the south of the Yangtze River with the Ji family boy two months ago. So far, Not returned yet.”
"Yeah?"
Emperor Yu's expression suddenly turned playful, and Ji Sui seemed to notice something was wrong, and her brows gradually furrowed.
"hehe!"
"The two beloved ladies really are like a tiger with no dog son!"
"The Ji family and the Xie family are really amazing."
Emperor Yu's expression suddenly became extremely cold, biting to the bone. He looked at the two of them calmly and said calmly: "When you go back, ask your children at home if they are ready to serve the country. "
"After all, swords have no eyes on the battlefield."
"I see that you two dear ladies have been working hard for the country all day long, and you don't even care about your son. You might as well rest at home for a few more days."
Emperor Yu's face changed again, he looked at the two of them with a smile, and said calmly: "The burden on you is too heavy, it will not be good if you are exhausted."
