"Sister Hongzhu, my brother is going north."

dawn.

Huanzhu got up early, looked north, and said, "Can I go see him off?"

"cannot."

Hong Zhu shook his head and said, "In special times, it's better to be careful."

Huanzhu was silent. After a moment, he nodded and said, "I understand."

The north gate of the capital city.

The battle flag was waving, and the eldest prince Mu Yuan personally took command and led the army northward.

The war in the north is tense, and the middle army of the Mobei Iron Cavalry has entered the hinterland of Dashang. Even though it is the Donglin Army of King Donglin who is responsible for blocking the middle army of Mobei, some of the elites of the Qingyu Army and the defenders from all over the northern border.

, many parties have joined forces, but it is still difficult to stop the pace of the Mobei Iron Cavalry.

In comparison, the situation on the battlefields on the east and west fronts in the north was much better. King Zhongwu and the Eleventh Prince jointly held off the coalition forces of the Helian, Tuoba, and Chili clans, as well as the Western Front, King Jiuyou and the defenders from all sides.

Facing the offensive of the Chisong, Huyan, and Helan clan cavalry, although they were embarrassed, they would not be defeated.

North of the capital.

In front of the mighty army, Li Ziye looked back at the tens of thousands of troops behind him, with a flash of concentration in his eyes.

These soldiers and horses may look like a lot, but in fact they are all new recruits who have only been trained for a few months. It is hard to say how much combat power they will have.

The real elite of Dashang have basically been deployed on the northern battlefield.

In addition, over in the western border, the Tianyu Palace may come back at any time, and the Rakshasa Army and the Xuanjia Army do not dare to withdraw completely.

The situation of Dashang is not optimistic.

"Master Hou, what's wrong?"

In front of the army, Mu Yuan saw the strange expression on the Buyi Hou next to him and asked.

"fine."

Li Ziye came to his senses, looked away, shook his head slightly, and said, "I was just thinking about our trip north this time, and I don't know when we can come back again."

"I understand the mood of the Marquis."

Mu Yuan looked calm and said, "As long as we repel the invasion of the Eight Tribes of Mobei, we can return in triumph."

Li Ziye nodded and said, "His Highness will go out to fight in person, and we will definitely win."

While the two were talking, they led the army northward.

Northern Territory.

War smoke is everywhere.

The fighting on all three front lines of the battlefield was extremely fierce. You came and I fought, fighting for every inch of territory.

The policy of massacre of the eight tribes in Mobei greatly depleted the effective strength of Dashang, and also gave a great shock to Dashang's military and civilians.

Center battlefield.

The war horses are galloping, with Tantai Jingyue and Bai Di as commanders. Wherever the military orders come, they are invincible.

For several months, the Donglin Army and the veterans of the Qingyu Army stationed in the north suffered extremely heavy losses in their confrontation with the Mobei Middle Army.

Even though the Eleventh Prince brought mixed tactics to Dashang to fight against large-scale cavalry, no matter how good the tactics were, they still needed people to execute them.

The natural advantages of the cavalry, coupled with the excellent commanding abilities of Tantai Jingyue and Lord Bai Di, made the attack and defense of the army in the middle unstoppable.

In the era of cold weapons, facing the impact of cavalry, human life was like a piece of grass.

Five days.

The 40,000 new Qingyu Army soldiers led by Mu Yuan arrived on the battlefield.

The junction between the northern border and the hinterland of Dashan.

Baidi City.

Tongguan Jucheng is generally an extremely important pass for Dashang.

If Baidi City is destroyed, the hinterland of the Great Shang Dynasty will become an empty gate with no danger to defend.

In Baidi City, King Donglin led the defenders to resist and could not escape.

At sunset.

Mu Yuan and Li Ziye led troops into the city.

"Your Highness."

In the city, King Donglin personally greeted him and bowed respectfully.

"King Donglin doesn't need to be polite."

Mu Yuan stepped forward to help the person in front of him and asked with concern, "How is the situation?"

"We can still hold on for now."

Donglin Wang Ningsheng said, "The enemy's offensive is not as fierce as imagined."

"Your Highness, King Donglin, let me go up and take a look."

Li Ziye looked at the tower above and said.

"Your Majesty Buyi, please." Mu Yuan responded.

King Donglin moved his gaze, looked at the young man in front of him, and said, "I heard that the Commoner Marquis helped the King of Triumph and the Rakshasa King to defeat the silver-armored cavalry. When I saw him today, he was indeed a hero."

"The king of Donglin has great reputation."

Li Ziye responded, without saying another word, and walked towards the tower in front.

"Your Highness has been running around for many days and must be tired. I will take Your Highness to rest first."

King Donglin looked at the eldest prince in front of him and said politely.

"Then there will be trouble for King Donglin."

Mu Yuan responded with a kind expression.

King Donglin nodded and personally led the way for the eldest prince.

Baidi City, on the city tower, Li Ziye walked up, looking at the Mobei Iron Cavalry Camp looming in the distance, his eyes narrowed slightly.

strangeness.

The troops came to the city but did not attack it. What on earth was Tantai Jingyue thinking?

Do you not want your own troops to suffer too many casualties?

However, siege involves the accumulation of human lives, and casualties are inevitable.

The location of Baidi City is very important, and Tantai Jingyue will not be unaware of it.

After thinking for a long time, but unable to figure out the purpose of the Mobei army, Li Ziye turned the stainless steel fan in his hand, turned around and walked down the tower.

Let’s face the ever-changing situation by staying the same.

His uncle's.

He, a dandy from a merchant family, was forced to fight on the battlefield, and he had to argue with someone.

Fortunately, the protagonist of this trip is not him, but the eldest prince. Now that the Mobei cavalry is at its peak, he will not take the blame if they lose.

at the same time.

North of Baidi City, Mobei Camp.

Dantai Jingyue, dressed in light blue clothes, stood quietly in front of the camp, looking at the Baidi City in the distance, a cold color flashed across her beautiful face.

"The spies have brought news that the eldest prince Mu Yuan of Dashang and the newly-confessed Commoner Marquis have led an army to Baidi City." From behind, Lord Bai Di walked up and said.

"Quite fast."

Tantai Jingyue commented indifferently and said no more.

"That eldest prince is nothing. He practiced with the Jiuyou King of Dashang for a year last year. He is quite satisfactory and there is nothing outstanding about him."

Lord Bai Di said solemnly, "However, that Commoner Marquis is different. I heard that it was this person who was responsible for the destruction of the Silver Armor Cavalry. You need to be more careful."

"The destruction of the Silver Armored Cavalry was not a crime of war, but a problem of Tianyu Palace itself."

Tantai Jingyue said calmly, "The Silver Armored Cavalry has been invincible for too long, making them think that the Silver Armored Cavalry is really invincible. There is no absolutely invincible unit in this world. The Mobei Iron Cavalry is like this, and the Silver Armored Cavalry of Tianyu Palace is like this."

The same goes for iron cavalry."

"indeed."

Lord Bai Di nodded and said, "Today, the battlefields on the eastern and western fronts are far less smooth than last year. The mixed tactics devised by Dashang still bring us a lot of trouble."

"It's because Lord Helian and those people are too stupid."

Tantai Jingyue said coldly, "I have reminded them more than once that the key to cavalry lies in the ability to fight flexibly. They cannot compete for the gains and losses of one city or one place. The goal is to destroy the enemy's effective strength as quickly as possible. Now, Xi

But the front and the east were caught in the tug-of-war that Dashang was best at. If it weren’t for the bravery and skill of the Mobei soldiers, we might have lost this war."

"We can't be too harsh. After all, Lord Helian and the others also held back many of Dashang's troops." Lord Bai Di sighed softly.

Tantai Jingyue's eyes were slightly cold, but she didn't say anything else.

How can a life-and-death war just be delayed?

That’s all.

You can't count on those losers either.

In two days, 40,000 reinforcements from her Tantai tribe and Baidi tribe will arrive.

The war has reached its most critical moment.
