"Secondly, Tuoba Qingsong turned back halfway, choosing to abandon support for Yelü Dafeng and instead focus on defending Great Jade Mountain. Yulong City has also reacted and is continuously strengthening the defenses of Great Jade Mountain!" Wang Yue said in a deep voice.
Net had been responsible for monitoring the Northern Barbarians, and he had known about Tuoba Qingsong's support for a long time.
I originally thought we could wipe out these 100,000 reinforcements, but I didn't expect this guy to run away at the crucial moment. He's such a coward.
Ha ha!
A hint of a smile flashed in Lin Yi's eyes as he said quietly, "This is the smartest approach. If he really came, it would mean the loss of 250,000 troops. The Northern Barbarians can't withstand that kind of attack!"
Troop losses may seem insignificant at first glance, but a series of losses can be fatal.
One hundred thousand here, fifty thousand there, adding up to a loss of one hundred and fifty thousand. If we add Tuoba Qingsong's one hundred thousand, that's equivalent to a loss of two hundred and fifty thousand people, which is an unbearable burden for the Northern Barbarians.
If they really did that a few times, the Northern Barbarians soldiers would be wiped out.
This is the kind of behavior that the Calabash Brothers used to save their grandfather, which is absolutely unacceptable. The best option would have been to concentrate their forces and rely on the fact that the entire Northern Barbarians population was mobilized for war, which would have given them a fighting chance.
After all, this is their main battlefield, so they still have some advantages.
"And the third one?"
"Thirdly, the Prince of Northern Liang discovered the problem, so he was somewhat unhappy," Wang Yue said with a dry laugh.
Ha ha!
Lin Yi couldn't help but burst into laughter. He had already thought of this problem. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's no big deal. Northern Liang's secrecy is too poor. I avoided Northern Liang in order to catch the Northern Barbarians off guard."
Now that the two Dashan have been moved, the battle of Great Jade Mountain can involve Northern Liang, and I believe Father will understand.
Whether or not there is Northern Liang here is not really a big deal, but those Northern Liang soldiers have a blood feud with the Northern Barbarians, so it's not a big deal to let them come and participate.
The Northern Liang and Xiliang will eventually merge, and the 300,000-strong Northern Liang army must also be integrated. This is an opportunity.
He glanced at the Xiahou Dun brothers and laughed, "Pass down the order: tonight we'll reward the entire army! All brothers can revel in the joy of victory!"
Wow!!!
Wang Yue's eyes lit up; if this were the case, the soldiers would be thrilled.
The border of Northern Liang!
Meanwhile, the Northern Liang soldiers were training like crazy, waiting to make a dazzling appearance in front of the Crown Prince, to demonstrate the strength of the Northern Liang Army, and to impress the Crown Prince.
As the snow melted, they eagerly awaited the day the war would begin.
But the news that arrived by plane was astonishing!
"The Crown Prince's Xiliang army mobilized 500,000 troops, dividing them into two routes to attack the Northern Barbarians. In just one day, they swept through the two key locations of the Northern Barbarians Wind and Snow City and Great Wind Valley, annihilating 150,000 enemy soldiers. Their army is unstoppable!"
"We are currently clearing out many Northern Barbarians tribes, and our forces are heading straight for Great Jade Mountain!"
Holy crap!
This news caused an immediate uproar. The Crown Prince had even fought his way to Great Jade Mountain? That was too outrageous!
Are the Xiliang Army really that powerful? They swept through the Northern Barbarians ' Wind and Snow City and Great Wind Valley in just one day. This is absolutely outrageous! Even slaughtering pigs wouldn't be this fast!
Moreover, Xiliang mobilized an army of 500,000 men, which completely stunned them.
Wang Ziwen exclaimed in astonishment, "The Crown Prince's Xiliang Army is truly terrifying! 150,000 troops from these two regions combined couldn't hold out for even Tiandu. This is simply unbelievable!"
"With such terrifying strength, we probably don't even need to lift a finger. The young master is invincible!" Xu Zhong said, somewhat distraught.
The Northern Barbarians only had a small army, currently only around 400,000 on the surface. Now, 150,000 of them have been wiped out. How can the remaining 200,000 to 300,000 withstand the Crown Prince's 500,000-strong army?
This battle may seem to be only halfway through, but in reality, the Northern Barbarians are already on the verge of collapse.
ah?
These words instantly reminded the Northern Liang generals, leaving them all dumbfounded. They didn't even need to lift a finger!
"No way, we haven't even made a move yet, and the Crown Prince is already marching on their capital. What use are we then?"
"The Crown Prince didn't even inform us. Does this mean he looks down on us?"
"The key issue is that the Northern Barbarians were too easily defeated. If I remember correctly, they had quite a few troops stationed in these two places, and their combat strength wasn't that weak. Yet they were wiped out in the blink of an eye?"
This news unsettled many of the generals in Northern Liang. They had agreed to attack the Northern Barbarians together, so why was the Crown Prince suddenly attacking alone, and even reaching Great Wind Valley?
Isn't that a bit too fast?
Moreover, if the Crown Prince acts alone, what will happen to the rest of us? We'll be left with nothing to do.
"Good lad, you've got some skills!"
Lin Rusong was speechless. His son was really audacious, actually attempting to wipe out the Northern Barbarians single-handedly. This was something even Li Anlan wouldn't dare to imagine, but his son had actually done it.
The key point is that he did a good job!
Wind and Snow City and Great Wind Valley were two key passes for the Northern Barbarians. Now that they have been breached, the Northern Barbarians only have one pass left: Great Jade Mountain. Once Great Jade Mountain is captured, the Northern Barbarians capital will be within reach.
With only the strength of Xiliang, they managed to cause the two Northern Barbarians territories to change hands in a short period of time. Amazing, son.
But you even lied to your own father? You're asking for trouble!
"Your Highness, what should we do now? Should we still go to the Northern Barbarians?" Xu Zhong asked, looking bewildered.
The poor general had never felt so humbled; he felt completely unwanted.
At this moment, Yi Yun walked in from outside and said with a smile, "Your Highness, this is a message sent by the Heir Apparent via carrier pigeon. I think it's what Your Highness needs right now."
Carrier pigeon?
Lin Rusong looked at the intelligence in his hand and couldn't help but nod. He already knew about the carrier pigeon method, and now that his son had delivered the letter, there must be accurate arrangements in place.
He took the letter and read it, then his eyes lit up and he laughed, "Haha, Yi'er really hasn't forgotten the soldiers of Northern Liang! He's entrusted us with the most important task!"
The most important task?
Everyone's eyes lit up. The young master actually gave them a task. He remembered them! It seemed they had misunderstood him.
Xu Zhong couldn't help but step forward, asking excitedly, "Your Highness, what mission has the young master assigned us? Is it to besiege Great Jade Mountain?"
Good heavens!
The Crown Prince is sending them to deliver the final blow; this is a tough situation.
"It's not Great Jade Mountain!"
Lin Rusong shook his head, handed him the letter, and said in a deep voice, " Yi'er knew that the Heavenly Eagle Guard had people in Northern Liang, so she took the initiative and caught the enemy off guard."
As for what our people need to do, you'll see when you see it!
