Chapter 608 The Sixth Prince, Prince Xun'an!
North of Yuwang City.
Su Gaiwen led tens of thousands of remnants of the army all the way north, and after running non-stop for most of the day, he finally got rid of the pursuit of Dayu's soldiers.
"General Su, now that Yuwang City has not been taken, our army has lost nearly half of its troops."
"The situation in Changyan City is unclear now. If we go directly there, will we be attacked from both sides?"
"In your opinion, what should we do?"
Su Gaiwen looked at his dog-headed military advisor, and his face was also a little more irritable.
Just half a step away!
If he was given another half an hour, when he broke through Dayu's palace, even if Dayu had 200,000 reinforcements, as long as he held Dayu's court in his hands, he would not be afraid at all.
But unexpectedly, the ten-thousand-foot-high building collapsed in an instant.
"Why not march eastward and bypass Xun'an County? Then, we can attack if we advance or retreat to Donghuai!"
"Xun'an!"
Su Gaiwen frowned, and the military advisor beside him quickly held up the map: "General Su, please look, this Xun'an County is located in a remote area. It is the fief of Ningxun, the sixth prince of Dayu."
"Xun'an is close to the eastern border. Our army can also go north from here and go straight into the desert."
"You can also cross the river and enter Changyan."
"Okay!"
Su Gaiwen also exhaled deeply, looking at the decadent faces of the soldiers behind him, and said in a stern voice: "In this case, let's go straight to Xun'an. Since Dayu Wangcheng cannot be broken, we will first slaughter their county to comfort the souls of my fallen soldiers in heaven!"
"Pass my order, the whole army will rush to Xun'an!"
"Yes!"
...
Xun'an.
Palace.
In the back garden, in front of the lake.
A young man in his early twenties sat by the lake, holding a fishing rod and looking at the water calmly. His warm hands tightly grasped the fishing rod, as if he had sensed that the fish was about to be hooked, and he didn't even blink.
"Here it comes."
Watching the float on the water suddenly fall, Ning Xun reached out and picked up the fishing rod, with a smile on his face.
He skillfully took the fish off, put it back on, and threw the hook into the water. A slight sound of footsteps came from behind him.
"Your Majesty!"
"What's the matter?"
The man was a middle-aged man in his forties. A goatee gave him a bit of ruffian air, but his eyes were full of brilliance.
The middle-aged man walked steadily, stopped by the lake, and bowed respectfully.
"There's news from the capital."
"Oh?"
Ning Xun looked quite surprised, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Don't tell me first, let me guess."
"Tie Xuanzhen's main force was defeated in Huazhu City, and then the army went straight to Changyan City. Su Gaiwen divided 150,000 troops to attack the capital."
"But Changyan City is a strong city, and Yue Fei in the East is also a brave and good fighter. There are 100,000 soldiers stationed. It may not be so easy for Mobei to break Changyan."
"Although there are 30,000 imperial guards guarding the capital, they have stayed in the comfort zone for too long over the years. I guess they don't have much combat power, and are even worse than ordinary border troops."
"It's tantamount to 30,000 imperial guards trying to stop the 150,000 iron cavalry in Mobei. It's a fool's dream."
"Hmm..."
Ning Xun paused, then continued: "If the court wants to resolve this crisis, my father will probably send out his best troops, the legendary black cavalry!"
"The Mobei army is heading south, and I'm sure my second brother will not sit idly by, but I don't know if he can catch up."
"What I can be sure of is that Yuwang City is safe, right?"
Listening to Ning Xun's analysis, the middle-aged man with a goatee showed a touch of respect on his face: "Your Majesty is so good at predicting things, I admire you."
"I just received news that the main force of Mobei was frustrated in Changyan and has now retreated."
"In the capital, His Majesty mobilized the Tianyu Army, which is the legendary Black Cavalry, but after the Black Cavalry took the initiative to go out of the city and fought a battle, they turned north and are now missing. "
"The Imperial Guards were not up to the task, and the North Gate was lost. Fortunately, Prince Yong led his troops to rescue in time and saved the imperial city!"
"Hehe!"
Ning Xun smiled and said lightly: "The elite soldiers and generals under Prince Yong, I'm afraid the Mobei Iron Cavalry will not be able to get any help from him, right?"
"That's right!"
"Prince Yong defeated 30,000 Mobei cavalry at the South Gate, and his generals pursued the victory and beheaded tens of thousands of people. Su Gaiwen's 150,000 troops lost more than half and were repeatedly defeated!"
Hearing the last sentence, Ning Xun frowned, looked at the goatee, and said in a deep voice: "Send out scouts to investigate Su Gaiwen's movements . "
"What does your Highness mean?"
"Su Gaiwen was defeated and lacked food and grass. He would not go to Changyan. If he took the detour to Beihe, he would have to travel hundreds of miles. If I am not mistaken, he might target Xun'an."
"In this way, we can attack Donghuai from the east, and after resting, we can also turn back and attack the capital again!"
"Yes!" After thinking for a while, the goat beard nodded solemnly: "Your Highness, Su Gaiwen still has 80,000 or 90,000 remnants. If he really comes to Xun'an, will it expose our strength?"
"If it is exposed, it will be exposed. After lying dormant for so long, it is time to show some strength."
"Yes!"
...
Northern border.
Desolate mountain.
Countless figures intertwined together. Li Yan held a short sword. The armor on his body had been chopped to pieces and covered with a thick layer of blood stains.
"Brothers, hurry up."
"Quick!"
"Charge!"
Li Yan roared as he charged, and the soldiers behind him also held on and rushed towards 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 him, and the rest of the soldiers were far apart. 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 is the only son of the commander. If something 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!"
