NFBE Chapter 284 Xining Border
Chapter 284 Xining Border
Ling Yunxiao personally led the cavalry and set off at the same time.
Jiang Yue followed behind Ling Yunxiao and led the Xuanwu Army to follow closely behind him.
During the march, the faces of the Xuanwu soldiers were solemn.
Yue Tingshan, who stayed behind, discussed the strategy of defending the city with Yun Yi.
"General Yue, the army has left. Your mission may seem simple, and Liangzhou may seem impregnable, but external threats are always there."
Yue Tingshan was certainly aware of this.
"Military Advisor, rest assured. Even if I sacrifice my life, I must defend Liangzhou City."
If Liangzhou is lost in his hands, he will have no face to face His Majesty and Ling Yunxiao.
Yun Yi was thoughtful and offered a suggestion after hearing this:
"You can set up more traps outside Liangzhou City. Arrange soldiers to speed up the deployment and survey the surrounding terrain."
Yang Dazhuang, who was standing aside, wanted to interrupt but couldn't, and he regretted his original actions more and more.
These days, he also heard some about General Yue's heroic deeds. He thought to himself that he was really blinded by greed at the time. How could a man like General Yue do such a thing as betraying his country and surrendering to the enemy?
If he had not killed Jing San first, if that man was still alive, it would have caused considerable casualties to Donglin.
...The enemy, Ling Yunxiao guessed correctly,
The Crown Prince of Northern Yan and the Fourth Prince marched at the same time.
The purpose of the two princes this time was to meet Princess Xining and seize Liangzhou again and again.
God knows how furious they were when they learned that Liangzhou had been taken away, not to mention the king who was far away in the capital of Northern Yan.
"Ling Yunxiao thinks he can defend Liangzhou by sending just a few people? This time, we will make sure they die without a burial place!" On horseback, Xiao Jingtian, the fourth prince of Beiyan, said angrily.
"Don't talk big too soon." Xiao Jingyi, the crown prince of Northern Yan, said with sarcasm on his lips.
He never took Donglin seriously.
...Jiang Yue's side,
Jiang Yue and Ling Yunxiao marched carefully, and the Xuanwu troops were keeping an eye out for the Xining secret sentries along the way.
That’s right, Liangzhou is adjacent to Beiyan and Xining, and is a fortress. It was a place of trade ten years ago.
This is also the reason why Beiyan has set its eyes on this piece of fat meat.
Lin Guo and the other two were guarding Jiang Yue wholeheartedly, just wanting to protect her.
The five senior brothers had the same idea, and they were also thinking about working side by side with Jiang Yue to kill the enemy general.
After a hundred miles, we arrived outside the Xining border city.
The troops stopped outside the pass.
This is also the border between Donglin and Xining.
Ling Yunxiao led the troops and although they went around the mountain, they also encountered many patrolling troops in groups of three or four.
The two knew that due to the loss of Liangzhou, Princess Xining's army would not march into Donglin, but would instead head towards Beili and reach the border of Northern Yan.
It would be extremely difficult for Beiyan and his men to enter the country.
Then Ling Yunxiao ordered his generals,
"March in secret and don't let the Xining soldiers find out."
The troops obeyed the order, climbed the mountain and drove carefully.
This was all thanks to Jiang Yue. The Xuanwu troops were agile and quick in their movements.
Even if he was traveling with the general, he would not be a burden at all.
Even Lin Guo and the other two did not fall behind because of the training in these days.
Otherwise, if the enemy general was unfortunately alerted, another battle would be inevitable, resulting in unnecessary casualties.
The troops carefully crossed the undulating rocks,
The rugged mountain road was not easy to walk on, and it took most of the day to walk the hundred-mile distance.
Finally, they crossed the mountains and hurried over to the Princess Xining before she came out of the customs.
Encountered Xining's marching force of 50,000.
This operation may sound simple, but in fact, their march is extremely difficult.
The next question is, how to stop them?
You know, Xining has 50,000 soldiers.
Ling Yunxiao looked around.
Finally, the sight fell on the valley ahead.
Want to lure the enemy into the valley and then shoot them?
He never thought of becoming an enemy of Xining at this time, after all, he was still trying to sow discord.
He ordered softly:
"Hide quickly!"
When the order arrived, the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army quickly dispersed and hid themselves.
General Xining is leading the army, please drive carefully.
Suddenly, arrows came rushing towards them from all directions.
"Stop and protect the princess!" the general said hurriedly, and the Xining army quickly put up their shields, ready for battle.
Inside the carriage, Princess Xining had her face covered with a veil, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, her hair was braided into several complicated long braids, and on top of her head she wore a towering crown inlaid with various gems.
She was wearing a colorful brocade dress with orange and red as the main color. The clothes were shining with gold. She looked very nice and charming.
She lifted the curtain and looked out the window. Her face looked normal, without any expression.
Just ask the general in front of you,
"General Lu, what happened?"
"Don't be afraid, Princess. They are just some bandits and they can't cause any big trouble." As General Lu said this, his horse took a few steps back, walked to the princess and carefully comforted her.
"The border is not peaceful, so be careful." The princess said again, and General Lu nodded in response.
"You will finally understand."
However, as soon as their Xining formation was deployed and the offensive began,
There was a sudden silence all around.
General Xining was puzzled, but he did not dare to let his guard down, so he ordered the young general beside him:
"Investigate the situation quickly. If there is anything unusual, report it immediately!"
"Yes!" After receiving the order, the young general quickly led a team of soldiers and began to explore everywhere.
The moment of exploration,
Jiang Yue and Ling Yunxiao did not move at all.
They hid in the bushes and waited for the Xining soldiers to approach them.
First, Jiang Yue attacked the enemy from behind. With a light step, he struck the enemy with a knife, and the enemy fell unconscious on the ground.
The Xuanwu Army in secret followed suit.
Finally, Ling Yunxiao's sight fell on the young enemy general who was leading the attack.
Suddenly, their eyes met.
"..." Before the young general could utter a word, Ling Yunxiao quickly grabbed his throat, and he could only make a whimpering sound.
Unfortunately, their general was too far away, so he couldn't tell the secret and could only stare at Ling Yunxiao angrily.
At the same time, he was also deeply frightened, because at this moment, he was like a fish on a chopping board. It would be as easy for Ling Yunxiao to kill him as killing an ant.
In the end, he was knocked unconscious by Ling Yunxiao's knife.
General Lu of Xining waited and waited but no one came, and his doubts grew even more.
Just as the princess said, the border is in turmoil, and it is not just ordinary turmoil.
Of course, he also received the news that Liangzhou was returned to Donglin, but Beiyan had already agreed to give their city near Xining to Xining.
The King of Xining agreed immediately. In his opinion, the alliance between the two countries and the division of Northern Yan could not be better.
As a king, who doesn't want to expand the territory?
General Xining Lu sent another person.
"Explore again!"
He really didn't dare to march rashly.
Before this, after Ling Yunxiao's side dealt with those Xining scouts, the first thing they did was, of course, to secretly discuss the next countermeasures.
