North of King Yu's city.
Su Gaiwen led tens of thousands of remnant troops all the way north, running non-stop for most of the day, and finally got rid of the pursuit of Dayu's soldiers.
"Commander Su, now that King Yu's city has not been taken, our army has been lost by nearly half."
"The situation in Changyan City is unknown now. If we go directly, will we be attacked from both sides?"
"In your opinion, what should it be?"
Su Gaiwen looked at his dog-headed military advisor, with a hint of irritation on his face.
Just half a step away!
If he was given another half hour to break through Dayu's palace city, even if Dayu had 200,000 reinforcements coming to help him, he would not be afraid at all as long as he held Dayu's court in his hands.
Unexpectedly, the tall building collapsed in an instant.
"It's better to march eastward and bypass Xunan County. By then, we can attack if we advance, and if we retreat, we can invade Donghuai!"
"Xun'an!"
Su Gaiwen frowned, and the military advisor next to him quickly held up a map: "Commander Su, please look at this. Xunan County is located in a remote area. It is the fiefdom of King Ningxun of Xunan, the sixth prince of Dayu."
"Xun'an is close to the east. Our army can go north from here and go straight into the desert."
"You can also cross the river into Changyan."
"good!"
Su Gaiwen also exhaled a deep breath, looked at the decadent faces of the soldiers behind him, and said solemnly: "In this case, we will go straight to Xun'an. Since King Yu's city is unbreakable, we will slaughter them first." County, comfort the souls of my fallen soldiers in heaven!"
"Pass my general's order and the whole army rushes to Xunan!"
"promise!"
…
Xun'an.
The palace.
In the back garden, in front of the lake.
A frail young man was sitting by the lake, holding a fishing rod and looking calmly at the water. His warm hands were holding the fishing rod tightly, as if he had a premonition that the fish was about to take the bait, without blinking his eyes.
"coming."
Watching the float on the water suddenly drop, Ning Xun reached out and picked up the fishing rod with a smile on his face.
He skillfully picked off the fish, replaced it, and threw the hook into the water. There was also a slight sound of footsteps behind him.
"Your Majesty!"
"What's the matter?"
The person who came was a middle-aged man in his forties. A goatee gave him a bit of a ruthless air, but his eyes were shining.
The middle-aged man walked steadily, stopped by the lake, and bowed respectfully.
"There's news from Jingli."
"oh?"
Ning Xun looked quite surprised, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Don't tell me yet, let me take a guess."
"Tie Xuanzhen's main force was frustrated in Huazhuo City, and then the army directly attacked Changyan City. Su Gaiwen divided his army of 150,000 to surprise the capital."
"But Changyan City is a strong city, and Yue Fei from the east is also a brave and skilled warrior. He has a hundred thousand soldiers and horses stationed there. If Mobei wants to break Changyan, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
"Although there are 30,000 forbidden troops guarding the capital, they have stayed in their comfort zone for too long over the years. They must have little combat power, and are not even as good as ordinary border troops."
"Thirty thousand imperial troops trying to block Mobei's 150,000 cavalry is nothing more than a dream."
"Um……"
Ning Xun paused for a moment, then continued: "If the imperial court wants to resolve this crisis, my father will probably use his secrets, that is, the legendary black cavalry!"
"The Mobei army is marching south. I believe that my second emperor brother will not sit idly by and ignore it. I just don't know if he can catch up."
"What I can be sure of is that King Yu's city is safe, right?"
Listening to Ning Xun's analysis, the middle-aged man with a goatee showed a hint of admiration on his face: "The prince knows things like a god, and I admire him."
"My subordinates have just received news that the main force in Mobei was frustrated in Changyan and has now retreated."
"In the capital, His Majesty mobilized the Tianyu Army, the legendary Black Cavalry. However, after the Black Cavalry took the initiative to leave the city and fight for a while, they turned around and headed north. Now their whereabouts are unknown."
"The imperial army was unable to be reused and the North City Gate was lost. Fortunately, King Yong led his troops to rescue in time and saved the imperial city!"
"hehe!"
Ning Xun smiled and said lightly: "Brother Yong Wang has a group of elite soldiers and generals, and the Mobei Iron Cavalry may not be able to get it in his hands, right?"
"good!"
"King Yong defeated 30,000 Mobei cavalry at the South City Gate. His generals took advantage of the victory and pursued them, beheading tens of thousands of them. More than half of the 150,000 troops under Su Gaiwen's command were lost and retreated repeatedly!"
Hearing the last sentence, Ning Xun frowned, looked at the goatee, and said solemnly: "Send out scouts to investigate Su Gaiwen's movements."
"What does the prince mean?"
"Su Gaiwen was defeated and lacked food and fodder. He will definitely not go to Changyan. If we take a detour to Beihe, we will have to travel hundreds of miles more. If my prediction is good, he may want to take advantage of Xun'an."
"In this way, we can attack eastward to capture Donghuai, and after repairing, we can also turn back and attack the capital again!"
"That's right!" After Goat Beard pondered for a while, he nodded solemnly: "Your Majesty, there are still 80,000 or 90,000 remaining soldiers under Su Gaiwen's command. If they really come to our Xu'an, will our background be exposed? "
"When you're exposed, you're exposed. After being dormant for so long, it's time to show some strength."
"promise!"
…
Northern Territory.
barren mountain.
Countless figures intertwined together. Li Yan was holding a short sword, and the armor on his body had been chopped to pieces, with a thick layer of blood stains attached.
"Brothers, hurry up."
"quick!"
"dash forward!"
Li Yan roared while charging, and the soldiers behind him also held up their bodies and fought hard to attack the Mobei army in front of them.
If you break through this line of defense, you can join up with your sister.
"Major General!"
"We can't rush. The brothers behind us won't be able to keep up."
An old soldier carefully guarded Li Yan and couldn't help but remind him.
Li Yan looked back and found that there were only dozens of warriors following behind him. The rest of the soldiers were far away, and he immediately realized that something was wrong.
"Can't withdraw!"
"My sister has been surrounded for so long. These thieves are rushing in like crazy. My sister will soon be unable to hold on."
"Let's rush over first to provide support!"
Li Yan gritted his teeth and said.
"But, Major General, I'm afraid those of us, before we can fight in, will..."
"Brothers, everyone has already taken advantage."
Seeing the fatigue on the faces of the old soldiers, and many of them with exposed scars, Li Yan couldn't bear it, and said in a deep voice: "Old Mo, you take them here to wait for the main force, I will fight in first. ."
"Major General!"
Seeing Li Yanyi rushing towards the enemy group in front without hesitation, the expressions of the old soldiers behind him changed. This man is the only son of the commander. If something unexpected happens on the battlefield, the Li family's incense will be cut off. Yes!
"Brothers, we cannot let the Major General take risks alone."
"We have lived for most of our lives, and many barbarians have died under our hands. This time, we cannot be cowardly!"
"What's more, the princess is still inside!"
"Kill with me!"
