All Chapters of Game of the Throne: Chapter 691 - Chapter 700

The formation of Liu Sheng's army was similar to a triangle, with the widest part facing east and the two wings shrinking towards the middle. Most of the cavalry of Liu Sheng's army were behind the numerous infantry phalanxes, and the two cavalry reinforcements that arrived this morning were located on the two wings of the formation.He did not set up a defensive formation, nor an offensive formation. Unless the Tatars went around the rear wing, the shape of Liu Sheng’s army would be like an arrow cluster formation.The enemy's main cavalry was already more than a hundred steps away, but the Tatars rode slowly, showing no signs of charging. Since the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, the armies of the various forces in China seemed to have rarely had heavy cavalry equipped with armor to charge into battle.Liu Sheng squinted his eyes and looked at the large group of Tatar troops not far away, but he could not see clearly; because he was facing the east, faci

In the middle camp of the army, screams could be heard from time to time, which was very scary. The Ming army was torturing the prisoners.Zhu Gaoxu had not gone to bed yet. He was pacing back and forth in front of a pot of charcoal fire.There was a map on the ground, but he did not look at it. He walked around for a while and then squatted in front of the brazier . The light of the charcoal fire reflected on his face, and he looked dazed.In addition to Zhu Gaoxu, there was another person in the tent, Duan Xuehen. She sat quietly beside him, sometimes closing her eyes, occasionally looking up to observe Zhu Gaoxu... He seemed a little restless at this time.Zhu Gaoxu turned around and said, "It's very late, you should go to bed first."Duan Xuehen raised his head and said softly, "I used to not sleep at night, and I was mostly alone. I feel great to be with His Majesty tonight."Zhu Gaoxu said no more. However, as the two of them stayed i

After snowing for several days, the weather finally cleared up, but the snow on the ground had not melted, and looking around, the fields were all white.Zhu Gaoxu felt the cold wind on his face and felt that the snow might not melt throughout the winter.Nearly ten days have passed since the central army decided to continue its advance northward, and it is now mid-October.The Ming army had almost no effective military supplies within a radius of a thousand miles. The food reserves for the return journey were getting less and less, and the soldiers had to eat dead horses to save food. The weather was extremely cold, and water literally froze into ice at night, making life extremely difficult. The soldiers were exhausted, and they had already traveled about three thousand miles since they set out on the expedition!However, Zhu Gaoxu often inspected the camps and believed that the Ming army still maintained considerable combat effectiveness and morale.

There is a piece of wasteland northwest of the Ruhai Lake, called "the land of abundant springs".In the Tatar camp, there was a huge round tent. Above the tent stood a large white flag with complex patterns painted on it, called the "Nine-flag White Banner". The many patterns surrounded a golden spear stuck in the mane of a black horse, also known as the "Sulide".Countless Tatar nobles and soldiers knelt in front of the big tent, worshipping the white flag. The Khan in a long robe turned his back to the crowd and recited prayers in Mongolian."Sulide, who can subdue fierce demons and stubborn enemies! Urgently call Jin Sulid! Holy Lord Genghis Khan Sulid, please send out your gift to bless the royal descendants and common people..."Dahan chanted for a while, and everyone bowed down together, raised their hands and cheered, "Su Lide!"Slaves and Han people from various ethnic groups in the distance were not allowed to approach and could only kn

The army trudged through the icy and snowy grasslands for nearly two months, from mid-October to the beginning of December, when the army's food and fodder had been used up and more than 200,000 soldiers were exhausted.At this time, cheers came from the front, and countless people heard the noise and looked around. In the hazy wind and snow, people finally saw the vague shadow of the city tower in the distance."Kaiping Wei!" A place name was mixed in the shout.As the army gradually approached the city, the government troops and soldiers who stayed in the warehouses came to greet them outside the city, beating gongs and drums. It was so lively! In the vast white wilderness, it was like a festival today.Kaipingwei had a warehouse with stored food. The granary was immediately opened, and soldiers from various camps entered the city to receive food. Smoke from cooking rose from all over the city. The Ming army soldiers, who had eaten so much horse meat
