Stunning beauty

Dawn, the sky is not yet bright.

In front of Qishan Mountain.

Led by the Shang Emperor, half of the dynasty's civil, military, and royal dignitaries began to climb the mountain under the protection of the imperial army.

Qishan Mountain is so high that it reaches into the clouds. Although there are steps on the mountain road, it still takes ordinary people three to five hours to reach the top.

In the front of the team, the imperial army opened the way. In the middle, the Shang Emperor rode on a chariot. Half of the civil and military officials and royal dignitaries followed behind, and they all had to walk on their own.

Behind the civil and military forces, Li Ziye also got on the chariot due to special circumstances and followed the team up the mountain.

Xiaosi and Mujin followed on both sides to protect the safety of their young master.

In front of and behind the team, there were two chariots, and two foxes, one big and one small, all closed their eyes and meditated. No one knew what they were thinking.

On the mountain road, because the mountain road was narrow, the queue was stretched very long. Many kings and dignitaries turned pale with fright when they saw the cliff at their feet.

After walking for an hour, the sun rose in the east, gradually dispelling the cold air in the mountains.

The team set out before dawn, with the goal of reaching the top of the mountain before noon.

However, after only climbing for more than an hour, many civil and military officials and royal dignitaries were almost unable to walk.

The mountain road is rugged and it is not easy for ordinary people to walk continuously for an hour.

However, the Shang Emperor in front did not say to rest, and no one dared to stop.

After another half an hour, when someone really couldn't walk anymore, the accompanying imperial guards stepped forward to help them move forward.

In the east, the sun is shining so brightly, it seems to be a good omen for the peace of the country and the people on this day when the emperor goes to the mountain to worship the sky.

If it weren't for the entire Dashang, it would have been plunged into endless war.

"Stop."

After about two hours of traveling, in the middle of the team, Emperor Shang opened his eyes and ordered, "Rest where you are for a quarter of an hour."

"Yes!"

The Imperial Guards took the order and all stopped.

On the stone steps, when the civil, military and royal officials heard the order to rest, they all collapsed on the ground helplessly, gasping for air.

On the other hand, none of the surrounding imperial guards sat down, and stood there quietly, protecting the dignitaries in front of them.

"drive!"

At the same time, in the southwest of Qishan, war horses rumbled, and the Mobei West Road army headed north, led by Lord Bai Di, all the way towards Qishan.

After receiving the news that the Great Shang Emperor Qishan was offering sacrifices to heaven, Lord Bai Di seized the opportunity and led his army northward, preparing to take the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the Great Shang.

The army was halfway through the journey. In front, with flags waving, the Xuanjia Army and the Southwest Army led by Kaixuan and the Southwest King appeared, blocking the path forward of the Mobei West Road army.

"Sure enough, you won't let me pass so easily!"

In front of the army on the Mobei West Road, Lord Bai Di reined in his horse and looked at the King of Triumph and the King of Southwest blocking the road in front, with a cold expression on his face.

In front of the Southwest Army, the two princes Zhu Qingge and Han Chengzhi held silver spears and looked at the Mobei Iron Cavalry in front of them, their expressions were stern and heroic.

"Mr. Li, you are really a master of calculations."

Han Chengzhi praised, "Let us leave early and wait here for Lord Bai Di."

"The Mobei army is attacking Qishan. Isn't this something you can think of with your feet?"

On the side, Zhu Qingge responded calmly, "Even if we can't capture Qishan, if we can surround the area and send reinforcements, it's still a good way to severely damage Dashang. Chengzhi, that's not how flattering works. Besides, Brother Li is not here, so he can't hear you." .”

"Haha."

Han Chengzhi couldn't help but laugh after hearing his sworn brother's words, and said, "I'm used to it. Mainly the battle in the Western Territory gave me too much shock. The three kings surrounded me and defeated Tianyu's army. It was really a pleasure to fight!"

"Don't underestimate the enemy."

Zhu Qingge reminded, "The Mobei Iron Cavalry is different from the Tianyu Army. Unlike the Tianyu Army, they will withdraw when they lose. The Mobei Iron Cavalry will only fight to the death and will not admit defeat."

"I see."

Han Chengzhi's expression condensed and he looked at the Mobei West Army in front and said, "Moreover, this West Army is the strongest of their three armies, it is very powerful!"

There is no doubt that intercepting the Mobei Iron Cavalry on the plains is a very risky thing.

However, they must stop this western army at all costs!

At almost the same time, the middle army led by Lord Tuoba of Mobei and others were also moving north quickly, taking the opportunity to attack the empty guarded Shang Capital City.

It was undoubtedly a very risky thing for the Shang Emperor to go to Qishan to worship heaven. It not only put himself in danger, but also weakened the defense of the Shang Capital City a lot.

The emperors of the Great Shang, who had put aside their power and were eager to take back the imperial power, were not only using their own lives as bait, but to a certain extent, they were also gambling with the national destiny of the entire Great Shang.

Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. In an era when kings are successful and bandits are defeated, who would care about the lives and deaths of ordinary people. The truth is cruel and there is no room for naivety.

On the plain, the Mobei Middle Road army was halfway forward. In the northwest, the flag of the Zhenbei Army was raised, blocking the way forward for Lord Tuoba and others.

"King Zhongwu!"

Lord Tuoba reined in his horse, looked at King Shang Wu in front of the Zhenbei Army, and sneered, "My defeated general dares to appear in front of me."

"It's not just me."

King Zhongwu glanced into the distance and said calmly.

As soon as the words fell, the shouts shook the heaven and the earth. From the northeast, another flag was raised, and a mighty army came quickly.

"The eleventh prince of Great Shang."

When Lord Tuoba saw the person coming, his expression was calm and he said in a cold tone, "Who did I think it was, but he was also defeated!"

"Then, what about us!"

At this moment, due north, war horses galloped, and the sound of rumble echoed through the wilderness.

In front of the army, Luo Xiao reined in his horse and said in a cold voice, "Master Tuoba, today you are at the end of your rope!"

"Rakshasa Army!"

Lord Tuoba looked at the army led by the man in front of him, his face darkened.

The shadow of the famous tree of man, the prestige created by the Rakshasa Army in the hands of the Rakshasa King and the Common King has long spread throughout the world.

but!

Both the Rakshasa King and the Commoner King have died in the battle, and only the remnants of the Rakshasa Army are left. How much fighting strength can the Rakshasa Army, which was once famous all over the world, still have?

"The remnants of the Zhenbei Army, the remnants of the Rakshasa Army, and the remnants of the Eleventh Prince, a group of defeated soldiers!"

In front of the army on Mobei Middle Road, Lord Tuoba said with a cold expression, "If you guys just huddled in the city, I might still find it a little troublesome. However, you dare to stop me on this plain. You are really stupid. !”

"King Zhongwu, capture the thief first and capture the king first!"

In front of the three armies, Luo Xiao rode up to King Zhongwu, looked at Lord Tuoba in front of him, and reminded him solemnly, "The key to whether we can defeat this Mobei Middle Road army in this battle is that the prince can Can we capture this Lord Tuoba as soon as possible!"

The greatest advantage of cavalry is mobility.

It may not be difficult for them to defeat the army in the middle, but it will be very difficult to devour all the army in the middle.

If the cavalry wants to leave, it is much more difficult to stop it than the infantry.

Therefore, they need a misjudgment from Mobei!
