Seeing that Song Yu opened his mouth but did not speak, Tang Xiao said with satisfaction,
“The military master also agreed with me. Let me show you how to command such a simple war. Ha-ha... You just wait for another tough war!”
Song Yu opened and shut his mouth, not speaking. Then Tang Xiao gave a strong order to attack,
"Attention, cavalry leader Zhang Qiang! Immediately lead three thousand cavalrymen for lightening war. We disturb their camp and formation."
"Attention, the chief of slasher Wang Liang! Immediately lead 5,000 slashers, follow the cavalry and kill the enemy with all your might. No one can retreat."
"Attention, Zhao Wu, the leader of the infantry on the left flank, and Chen Dawei, the leader of the infantry on the right flank! You two lead 30,000 infantries respectively and follow the slashers to kill the enemy. No matter how many ambushes there are, no retreat is allowed, only advance!"
"A
Bai Zhiming led the force to lurk in the woods. Firstly, he saw five hundred horse archers of their party return to the woods and directly go through the woods without making a stopover.Shortly, one thousand spearmen of their party withdrew rapidly, entered the woods, and split up into two teams. Both teams lurked in the woods on both sides and waited for another fight.After a fight outside the woods, about one thousand cavalrymen of the other party were approaching at a gallop. Soon they entered the range of attack."Shoot arrows!"As soon as Bai Zhiming commanded, the lurking archers shot arrows in the curved bows. Raindrop-like arrows were discharged from the woods on both sides at enemies.Horses and people screamed at once, and many were knocked over.The remaining several hundred troops continued to move forward."Throw!"After Wu Tao commanded, long spears were thr
Winning the first battle was the result of complete preparation.Although they made a victory in the war, they suffered significant losses. They killed sixty thousand enemies while their own eight thousand soldiers were sacrificed.On the way that Tang Xiao led the remaining troops back, they finally met the force of one hundred thousand soldiers that came to their aid.The opposite party had one hundred and forty thousand troops in total, consisting of one hundred thousand soldiers of the second round and the previous forty thousand soldiers. However, there were just forty thousand troops that were capable of fighting left in Snowwhite City.How to fight the war as one party rose and the other party fell?According to the scout's report, the troops of the Dongqin Kingdom that had been stationed in the Shangyan Kingdom and the Zhongwu Kingdom also approached here.If they assembled and attacked toge
The grassland was vast and boundless.A blue flag was planted in the middle of the closely pitched yurts. It fluttered in the wind with big letters "YUN" written on it.Plumes of smoke curled out of chimneys. The sound of people and horses could be heard. In such an environment, one would feel peace and calm instead of annoyed because everything was natural and harmonious.Mu Qianmei went out of the yurt, rambled to an open place, and sat down to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the grassland.It had been more than three years since she last came to this grassland.How was the Qiyan Clan now?Had the injured Jiri Gele recovered?Where would Aunt Tana lead her clan?After the event, Mu Qianmei asked Beggar Gang to investigate the Nantang Kingdom and collect information about this country. So she got to know that:The Nantang Kingdom was a kingdom that consisted of
Yun Zhonghe and Mu Qianmei talked for a morning under the sun. Mu Qianmei received a general idea of the past from her father.In addition to introducing their relatives and the life in the Imperial Palace, Yun Zhonghe also told her about the occurrence of the Fengyun Revolution.But so far, he had not figured out how the Dongqin Kingdom operated because he didn't receive any information in advance.What a terrible thing it was for an emperor!It seemed that it was only a matter of time before Fengyun Revolution happened because the Emperor was incompetent.After lunch, upon Mu Qianmei's suggestion, Yun Zhonghe inspected the entire garrison with his civil and military officials.The living conditions here were difficult.The yurts that were used as dormitories were shabby, the food was poor and deficient, and soldiers were in rags. However, they had a lot of passion for training.
Jiang Yunyi hurriedly explained,"I'm going to take two teachers of Lingyin College, Mo Siyuan and Shen Donglin. They both stayed in the college after graduating from here. Mo Siyuan has a quickness of his wit, and Shen Donglin has an inquisitive mind. They both have good knowledge. I think it may be helpful to take them with me."Zhuang Shujun was familiar with the two names. But no one else had heard of them.Mu Qianmei thought and asked uncertainly,"You mean the two students who raised the school flag at the opening ceremony of Lingyin College? I have some recollections of them. Did they both stay in the college as teachers? Since you think a lot of them, I believe in your choice."Jiang Yunyi nodded and said yes.Yun Zhonghe listened to their talking and said,"I accede to your demand as they are the talents you asked for by name. Tell them to come to meet me.""Thank
Mu Qianmei and Liu Tingfeng mounted their horses and shook the reins. Then the horses galloped off.Outside the yurt, Jiang Yunyi and Zhuang Shujun watched them leaving and kept silent for a long time.The morning breeze was a little cold.Inside the yurt, a man thoughtfully watched the two young people going farther and farther on the horses until they dwindled into two dots and then disappeared at the end of the grassland.It was Mu Qianmei's father, Yun Zhonghe.Yun Zhonghe didn't sleep well last night. The old saying went that "a mother always worries about her traveling child.” So did the father.Yun Zhonghe was no exception, though he used to be an emperor.He sighed when they finally disappeared from his view, edged to the desk, and opened “Lingyin College: A Poem Collection.” The first poem that leaped to the eyes was “A Dream, to the Tune of Chiangch'entse”—this was a page he h
They hurried to the stall in the backyard only to find that all the horses were here without Red Shadow.The diner owner got anxious, too. He apologized again and again,"I'm sorry, Miss. It's my fault. If we can't find it, I will... I will pay you a horse."He made a costly promise in pain.Although horses were easy to buy on the grassland, a good horse was expensive. He couldn't afford it even selling the diner.Mu Qianmei was calm.Being with her for so many years, Red Shadow had already accepted her as its owner, so it would not easily go with others.No one could take the rein to lead it away, so it must be somewhere nearby.She felt pity for the anxious diner owner.So she comforted,"There's no need to worry so. My horse has been with me for more than three years. It won't go with anybody else. If it was led away by somebody, it would probab
When the three persons came back to the small diner, people on the market had become sparse.Seeing they come back on two horses, Chaolu knew they hadn't found that good horse.He welcomed them to the diner and said with concern,"You must be tired. Come in and wash your hands. Have some food and then go out to find again."His behavior was unlike serving guests. Instead, he seemed to be a senior who cared about the juniors."Thank you, sir. Sorry for troubling you again."Mu Qianmei said politely."You don't bring trouble to me at all. It's our fault that lets your horse get lost. By the way, I heard you name your horse 'Red Shadow'?"Chaolu asked the waiter to serve food for them while asking them casually."Yes, it has red hair and runs as fast as a meteor. When I ride it, I feel like the scenery along the roadside becomes the shadow. Therefore, I name it Re
