In Beijing, an urgent report was received eight hundred miles from the border, saying that the Northern Tang Army had annihilated five thousand soldiers of the Northern Desert in Xiuzhou Prefecture, captured Northern Desert General Qin Mofeng alive, and trapped the main force of the Northern Desert Army in Xiuzhou Prefecture.
This report made Emperor Ming Yuan and his officials overjoyed. They thought that after being defeated in the first battle, they would be overwhelmed by Bei Mo in the second battle. However, they did not know that General Qin was so easily blocked in Xiuzhou.
Mansion.
The terrain of Xiuzhou Prefecture is unique, with many mountains and few flat areas, making it easy to hide. And as long as sentries are set up at various peaks, every move of the Northern Desert Army can be known.
This is obviously a trapped beast.
However, you may not necessarily win in a battle between trapped beasts. In terms of military strength, the Northern Desert has a great advantage. Even if they fight hand to hand in Xiuzhou Prefecture, the military strength of the Northern Desert and the Northern Tang Dynasty is still very different.
Therefore, Chao Zhong was only happy for a moment, and then fell into deeper worries.
Moreover, the prince has been in the house and has never come out. The outside world is saying that the prince was killed by the sword demon, and his head has been sent to the hands of General Qin, the general of the Northern Desert. If this rumor is true, then the general of the Northern Tang Dynasty will definitely
What a mess.
The officials in the court were worried, and the people were also speculating. Gu Si went to the Prince of Chu's Mansion to inform Yuan Qing Ling of the current war situation.
"Has Lao Wu arrived at Xiuzhou Mansion?" Yuan Qingling heard what Gu Si said and asked quickly.
Gu Si: "Tang Bao was written by Xiaoyao Gong and did not mention the prince. However, according to his footsteps, the prince should have arrived at Xiuzhou Mansion by now."
Yuan Qing Ling said: "Nowadays, the outside world is speculating about Lao Wu's life and death, but it cannot be made public at this time. It is really worrying."
"It really cannot be made public now. Although the Northern Mo Army has been introduced to Xiuzhou Prefecture, and we have an ambush in Xiuzhou Prefecture, there has been no fight so far. It is because both sides are afraid. The Northern Mo people are exploring the terrain and mountains to seize the high points.
Then they counterattacked the Northern Tang Army, while the Northern Tang Army was waiting for the prince to attack vigorously. Therefore, the news must not be leaked in advance. Now it seems from the Tang newspaper that Northern Tang and Beimo have had several small confrontations, but no one has faced them head-on.
In a big conflict, it is not easy to defend Xiuzhou Prefecture, because once the high point is occupied by the local government, it will be a disaster. Fortunately, all the leaders of the army this time are veterans and are familiar with the terrain of each state capital.
And he is very patient, and he will be able to delay it until the prince arrives with weapons."
Yuan Qingling couldn't help but admire Prince Anfeng. He asked Qihuo to take away Lao Wu's head. When he arrived in front of General Qin's formation, in addition to defrauding a sum of money, he also created the illusion that the prince had been assassinated, so that General Qin could
Thinking that the Northern Tang Dynasty would be in chaos, he was eager to win, and he did not have enough military expenditures to continue spending, so he would definitely attack quickly, set up the smoke in Jiangbei Prefecture, and then lure the people of Beimo to Xiuzhou Prefecture and use the power of the mountains to
The terrain trapped him, consumed his patience, and also delayed time.
The weapons carried by Lao Wu are quite lethal compared to cold weapons, and all the Northern Desert Army is in Xiuzhou Prefecture, so this is really a tragic war.
After Gu Si left, Rong Yue also came over because Rong Yue had been ordering people from the Lenglang Sect to follow King Huai, and letters and reports kept flying back. Lao Wu and King Huai were in front and behind, and they were less than two or three days apart.
.
"Lao Liu has arrived in Chuzhou, and I believe the prince has also arrived in Xiuzhou Mansion now." Rong Yue guessed based on her footsteps.
"If he arrives at Xiuzhou Mansion, I'm afraid this battle will really start." Yuan Qing Ling said.
"I have full confidence in them." Rong Yue said confidently.
Yuan Qingling was also full of confidence. This battle, with so many veterans dispatched, was undoubtedly a holy battle for the Northern Tang Dynasty.
Two days later, the Tang News came again, saying that the prince appeared on the battlefield and led 5,000 men. He met the main force of the Northern Desert and wiped out more than 30,000 enemies. The Northern Tang army suffered more than 300 casualties.
When the Tang News came, all the officials and even the people in the capital were in an uproar. The prince was not dead? He dared to fight against the main force of Bei Mo with 5,000 men? Moreover, he had to annihilate more than 30,000 enemies, leaving casualties.
It's only over three hundred. If the Tang newspaper hadn't been written by the prince himself, none of the officials would have believed it.
This is simply impossible to happen.
Regardless, the battle has officially begun.
Although this battle has hard weapons, it is still quite difficult. The main reason is the disparity in strength of the troops.
The millions of lions in the Northern Desert came out in full force, and they also tried their best to win this battle.
The women in Prince Chu's palace all said they were full of confidence, but in fact, they were secretly worried in their hearts.
Especially Yuan Qingling.
For Yuan Qingling, the weapons made by Lao Wu and Si Ye are strictly speaking cold weapons. Due to the limitations of conditions, both explosives and grenades are extremely crude, and it is not even possible to ensure that every grenade can be used.
It makes a noise if thrown out.
As for the Northern Tang Army, there are now 300,000 people. How can it not be difficult to deal with one million people in the Northern Desert?
More than twenty days after Lao Wu left for the expedition, he received Fang Wu's box.
I checked with Baozi and confirmed that it is real-time transmission. Most of the things transmitted in modern times can arrive accurately. Even if there are sometimes some deviations, they are not too far apart. Of course, some parts cannot be received.
Yuan Qingling is not there, so she cannot calculate backwards. Now she is anxious to complete the calculation here. It is best to determine when and which vortex is connected to the present.
She returned to Xiaoyue Pavilion and opened the box. There were some brain wave scans. She looked at them carefully and felt that something was not right. The brain waves were all abnormal.
There was a mobile phone video sent by Fang Wu. She opened it and listened to it. Fang Wu told her that these electroencephalograms were from her in the past few days. Her brain waves had been abnormal before, but one band was normal. Now all
nothing.
There are also some pictures and videos on the phone, including CT images of her brain. From the CT images, we can see that her left brain is enlarging and there are abnormal shadows in the prefrontal cortex. Her first impression was that it was a tumor?
She watched the video of Fang Wu talking again, and Fang Wu told her that this was not a tumor because the tissue had been extracted from the cryochamber for testing. This piece of tissue was still the prefrontal cortex. In other words, her prefrontal lobe had been enlarging and expanding.
Same as the left brain.
Fang Wu asked her if she had any mood changes recently, because the prefrontal cortex is equivalent to the CEO of the brain, controlling emotions, thinking, etc., and Yuan Qingling's current brain is actually a projection cloth, and the one who truly controls everything is in
The brain of modern Yuan Qingling.
Therefore, if there is a problem over there, Yuan Qingling will definitely be able to sense it.
Yuan Qingling recalled that during this period, her emotions had been affected. She used to think it was because she was pregnant with the Three Treasures, but now it seems that it is most likely due to the mutation of the modern brain.
At the end of the video, Fang Wu asked her to either inform Baozi about the recent abnormal situation, or try to see if Jinghu could send something back. In short, she urgently needed to know what was going on.
