Under the leadership of Yang Xun, the 80,000 Xuanjia Army marched non-stop for three days and arrived in the Xiongnu territory. Yang Xun also took away the 40,000 Beiyan cavalry that Xu Dachuan had just trained from Tianmen Pass.
Although these 40,000 Beiyan cavalry had just been formed, they were well equipped and equipped with Beiyan's best spears and swords. Each of them also carried a Zhuge Liannu on their backs.
Since the establishment of the Military Industry Department, Zhuge Liannu has been produced in large quantities, and now it has become Beiyan's standard weapon and is equipped in all Beiyan armies.
At this time, Yang Xun was looking at the map, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy next to him said: "Your Majesty, aren't we going to support Liaozhou? Why are we in the Huns' territory?"
The young man's name is Xu Ai, the eldest son of Xu Dachuan. This time he is responsible for leading 40,000 cavalry to go on an expedition with Yang Xun. In Xu Dachuan's words, he is training with Yang Xun.
Before Yang Xun could say anything, Xue Rengui on the side hit Xu Ai on the head and said angrily: "Just do whatever the prince tells you to do, why talk so much."
"Oh." Xu Ai covered her forehead aggrievedly, tears almost falling.
Yang Xun smiled slightly and said: "We do want to support Liaozhou, but support alone is not enough. Rengui, how did you go about what I asked you to inquire about?"
"Go back to my lord, let me find out clearly. The five countries attacking Liaozhou this time are Xianbei, Beiqiang, Gaobang, Fuyu, and Chenbang, with a total force of 380,000!" Xue Rengui said truthfully.
(The countries and geographical locations in the book are fictitious, please do not substitute them into reality)
Yang Xun nodded, all the five small countries in the north of Liaozhou are here!
Although these five small countries are countries, their combined land area is not as large as that of Beiyan, so Yang Xun really doesn't take them seriously.
[Ding, trigger the hidden mission, mission goal; kill the five kingdoms of Xianbei, Beiqiang, Gaobang, Fuyu, and Chenbang]
When the system prompt sounded in Yang Xun's mind, Yang Xun's eyes suddenly widened.
To destroy the five kingdoms, the system, I have to say, you are the one who is ruthless!
Yang Xun originally just wanted to detour from the Xiongnu territory to the rear of the Five Nations Allied Forces and catch them by surprise.
After all, Yang Xun was leading cavalry, so he couldn't help Liaozhou defend the city, right?
But now that the hidden mission was triggered, Yang Xun had to make new plans.
These five countries are all located in the eastern part of the Xiongnu. If you go all the way eastward from the Xiongnu territory, you can kill all five countries.
Thinking of this, the corner of Yang Xun's mouth suddenly curled up: "Rengui, you lead 80,000 Xuanjia troops to kill all the way to the east. The forces of these five countries are all concentrated on the border of Liaozhou. The rear is empty and basically empty. You have no resistance, I only give you three days, you must destroy these five small countries for me!"
Even Xue Rengui was a little surprised to destroy the five kingdoms in three days. Xu Ai on the side was even more shocked. Wasn't the prince too bold?
After a brief surprise, Xue Rengui's eyes ignited with fierce fighting spirit, and he quickly clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the general will definitely show that small country that doesn't know whether to live or die, what is Beiyan's military front!"
Yang Xun seemed to have thought of something, and continued: "After you enter these five countries, you must annihilate all their nobles, especially the royal family members. If you want common people, kill the men and arrest the women. They will be sent to Plant potatoes outside Tianmen Pass!”
To destroy a country, it is natural to destroy the country's royal family. Men are the foundation of a country and are more difficult to control, so naturally they cannot be retained!
"Lord, take care, Rengui, go!"
After Xue Rengui left with the Xuan Jia Army, Xu Ai asked again: "Your Majesty, where are we going?"
"Of course we have to rescue Liaozhou. Liaozhou has insufficient troops and I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for a few more days. However, we only have 40,000 people. This battle is extremely dangerous!"
Although he said this, Yang Xun always had a confident smile on his face, looking relaxed.
Xu Ai did not notice Yang Xun's relief, and immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I, Xu Ai, will ensure that Your Majesty is safe and sound."
Yang Xun glanced at the 90 loyalty mark on Xu Ai's head and couldn't help but be a little surprised. This kid must have been influenced by his father to have such a high level of loyalty when they first met.
Xu Dachuan said that although his son was young, he was brave enough that no one else could, and Yang Xun wanted to see it this time.
…
One day later, Liaozhou, Shantong Pass.
The sky was covered with overcast clouds, thunder sounded from time to time, and light rain had been falling for five days, and the attack of the Five Nations Allied Forces was just like the light rain, which did not stop for a moment.
The city gate of Shantong Pass has long been damaged. The corpses at the gate were piled up into a hill. Blood mixed with rainwater gathered into rivers and soaked the ground under their feet red.
The cry of killing and the screams resounded throughout the sky. The entire Shantong Pass was like a purgatory on earth, harvesting the fresh lives of the soldiers on both sides.
On the city tower, Li Ping'an was holding a spear, and the silver armor on his body had already been dyed red. There were corpses lying around, including those of the enemy and the Liaozhou Army.
Looking at the enemy troops who were constantly ascending the tower through the ladder, Li Pingan's face was ashen and his eyes were full of despair.
Five days have passed since the Allied Forces of the Five Nations launched their attack. The five countries took turns attacking the city without stopping for a moment.
The Liaozhou Army defending the city was already exhausted after five days of hard fighting.
At the beginning, when the troops were sufficient, the Liaozhou Army could still take a break. However, as the casualties increased and the rest time became less and less, all the soldiers were on the verge of collapse.
"If I, the eighty thousand sons of Liaozhou, were still here, how could I have ended up like this!" Li Ping'an clenched his fists tightly, his eyes full of unwillingness.
When King Pingnan began to rebel, Liaozhou also responded to the court's call and mobilized 80,000 troops to go south to quell the rebellion.
But with the death of King Zhenbei in battle, the young emperor was captured, and the front line was leaderless. The court's hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated, and the 80,000 troops in Liaozhou did not know whether they were dead or alive.
Li Ping'an's father, King Liao, fell ill after learning the news, and unfortunately passed away half a month ago.
But just as Li Ping'an stabilized the internal turmoil in Liaozhou, he was attacked by a joint attack from the five northern countries.
Liaozhou's military strength was not as good as that of Beiyan. Even if he mobilized the entire Liaozhou army to rush to Shantong Pass, there would only be more than 80,000 troops.
Under the successive attacks of more than 300,000 troops outside the city, more than half of the more than 80,000 people were lost.
In addition, Li Ping'an was leading troops for the first time, and his morale was getting lower day by day. It seemed that the fall of Liaozhou was doomed.
At this time, Li Ping'an couldn't help but think of his old father. If his father was still there, the soldiers at Shantong Pass wouldn't have no fighting spirit, right?
Thinking of this, Li Ping'an knelt on the ground in pain, looked up to the sky and screamed: "Dad, what should I do?"
