Chapter 48: The Fall of Mingzhou

Deep in the desert, General Zhenbei Li Yushang was inspecting the military camp as usual.

He had already made pre-war deployments before General Weiyuan arrived, and as long as nothing unexpected happened, everything could proceed as usual.

Now, the emperor has sent General Qin Wuguo, who is a powerful general, and another 100,000 troops. This battle has given him more confidence.

During his inspection, he stopped in front of a military camp and looked at the young general who was leading the charge with 3,000 cavalrymen. As someone who had led troops for many years, he could see the tricks at a glance and could also clearly see the progress of the cavalrymen.

At first, when Qin Wuguo introduced Hua Rong and Zhang Qing to him, he thought they were some dandy young men from some wealthy family. But when he heard that the Emperor was personally meeting them and told them in detail what happened on the training ground, he took them seriously.

After observing and getting along with them for these days, he found that these two people not only had extraordinary martial arts skills, but also had excellent methods of training soldiers. If they could really experience the baptism of war, he believed that Xiayang would soon have two more young generals.

Just as Qin Wuguo was watching intently, a soldier in heavy armor ran over and handed him a letter.

Qin Wuwei, one of the ace troops of Qin Wu State, is a heavily armored infantry with a number of 10,000 people. They are dressed in heavy armor, holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, and are capable of both offense and defense. They have turned the tide on the battlefield many times.

Seeing the message sent by his personal guards, Qin Wuguo seemed to have guessed something and hurriedly said, "Go, summon all the lieutenant generals and generals to come to my tent for a meeting."

No one knew what happened in the tent, but when everyone left, there was a hint of solemnity on their faces. At the same time, the entire 600,000-strong army began to rapidly advance towards the border of Mingzhou.

Mingzhou Guhuang County is the only territory adjacent to the Mongols and the only passage for the Mongols to move south.

Here there is the Underworld Great Wall, which was repaired by millions of slaves, and there is also the Baizhan City, the third largest city in the Underworld, which serves as a transportation fortress against the Mongols. Everyone in the city can wear armor and go into battle. It was built like an iron barrel by Anyang King Tang Tianshi.

As night fell, torches were lit on the Dark Great Wall, and guards were stationed every five steps to ensure tight security.

At midnight, when everyone was exhausted and couldn't help but take a nap, ten thousand Mongolian cavalry were slowly approaching five miles away from Baizhan City, ready to attack at any time.

A few flashes of swords appeared, and the soldiers defending the city died silently. Only a hundred black-clad teams were seen, agile, ruthless, and deadly in their attacks. They took control of the city gate in just a few breaths.

While all the soldiers were fast asleep, the city gate was slowly opening.

The Mongol cavalry launched a formal charge when they were still a hundred meters away from Baizhan City.

"Kill"

The fierce shouting and screaming instantly awakened the Mingzhou guards, who immediately rushed into the battle and tried their best to block the enemy from entering the city.

Although all the soldiers fought hard, they were still unable to stop the continuous influx of Mongol cavalry.

Nan Shouren, the defender of Baizhan City, put on his armor in a panic and rushed out of the tent impatiently.

The entire military camp was in chaos, stampedes occurred again and again, fires broke out, and the cunning Mongols directly set fire to the granary in the city.

In an instant, flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire city. The Mongol cavalry, who rushed in first, started the massacre by taking advantage of the firelight.

The killing lasted for a quarter of an hour until the flames gradually died down and Baizhan City turned into a scorched earth.

Baizhan City was broken, and in this single battle, 200,000 soldiers from Mingzhou were slaughtered.

In front of a city gate, among corpses everywhere, a well-disciplined cavalry was standing by, ignoring the blood on their armor and swords, staring forward with a pair of cold eyes.

At this time, a general wearing azure armor and holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji came slowly from the side of the cavalry. When he reached the front of the team, a blue leopard could be seen sitting on him.

Xuanshui Youbao, the mount of General Tieqiu, was a helper that his master hired at a great price to hire a tamer to capture when he was young and learning martial arts. He has been his lifelong companion in battles. The man and the beast have experienced too many life and death moments, but he still fights for his country to this day.

Tie Jue Li looked at the two generals who had followed him in the military for half his life, and said, "Generals Han Dan and Gu Li, we have already taken Guhuang County. In order to quickly expand the victory, I have decided that you two will each lead 150,000 troops. One will go east to take Weiwu County, and the other will go west to take Youdu County. I will capture Shadun County and then station at Canglan River. We will form a horn with each other and fight against Tang Tianshi together."

On the side, Han Dan said with a puzzled look: "General, we have made so many preparations this time, why don't we seize the opportunity to pursue the victory and take down the entire Mingzhou in one fell swoop."

Tie Caili glanced at him and said solemnly, "You think Tang Tiansheng is just a useless person. He has been in charge of Mingzhou for half his life. He will definitely react quickly when he gets the news. I estimate that taking four counties is already the limit. Remember, after completing the mission, immediately station along the river and build defensive fortifications. Do not advance rashly. Those who disobey orders will be executed."

"There is no time to lose, let's set off immediately."

Han Dan and Gu Li looked at each other, and in tacit understanding, they led their troops away from the left and right.

Tieqiu sat on the Xuanshui Youbao with a heavy face. This time he led 600,000 soldiers, while the Mingzhou garrison was about 500,000. He killed 200,000 of them, and the other 300,000 would be in his pocket without any accident. However, the Mingzhou defense map was too strange, which made him smell a hint of danger.

Afterwards, Tie Caili summoned a team of 100 Cang Lang and said to their leader, "You should hide at the border between Mingzhou and Mozhou and keep an eye out for the arrival of reinforcements from the other side."

Upon hearing this, a well-equipped cavalry squad headed straight into the distance.

Tieqiu looked into the distance. He knew that he had little time left. He had to hurry and take over Shadun County. Otherwise, once Tang Tianshi got the news, he would face a fierce counterattack and lose everything if he was not careful.

Looking at the 300,000-strong army behind him, Tie Caili shouted, "All troops, speed up. We must capture Shadun County within an hour."

For a time, the Mongol cavalry was like a force to be reckoned with, the army was as deep as a torrent, and there was bloodshed everywhere.

Far away in Yong'an Town, Haozhou, Chu Mo, who was sitting in Tingyu Pavilion, was teasing the cat slave beside him with great interest. Zhang Jiao was fishing leisurely by the pond. The next moment, he looked towards the direction of Mingzhou as if he had sensed something.

Chen Gong seemed to have noticed something as well, and looked off into the distance with a serious face.

Noticing the changes in the two, Chu Mo smiled and said, "What's wrong with you two? Is there something going on?"

Zhang Jue came directly to the pavilion and said, "My lord, the spirit of war is strong in the north, and the wolf is ready to swallow a dragon. I'm afraid the Mongol army has successfully moved south and the killing has begun."

Chu Mo was suddenly shocked. He had already guessed it through the actions of Hua Rong and Zhang Qing, and he also knew that the emperor had already noticed it. But when he thought of the countless people who had been killed, a trace of pain arose in Chu Mo's heart.

Chen Gong seemed to have seen more, and said: "My lord, don't worry. This is just a move of the emperor. Anyang King Tang Tianshi has established a government and has many soldiers and generals. He has gradually escaped the control of the emperor. The one sitting on the dragon throne will naturally take some measures. Otherwise, it will be so difficult for the Mongols to successfully march south."

Chu Mo heard this and widened his eyes and said, "You mean the emperor did it on purpose? Then he can't let his people be slaughtered."

Chen Gong smiled and said, "My lord, since you have been sitting on the throne, you are already alone. As long as the threat can be eliminated, there is nothing you cannot give up."

Yao Guangxiao on the side echoed: "Amitabha, the imperial family is the most ruthless."
