In the Great Qian Dynasty, Qin Ze, who transmigrated and became the son of the Tiger Might General, was cast aside by the Empress after she used him, stripped of his military power, and enfeoffed t...
Four days later.
The biting winter wind howled past, and a thin layer of ice had formed on the Fuga River, which separates the territory of Dagan from that of Tuyuan Kingdom.
At this moment, on the wide bridge over the river, the Tu Yuan soldiers lined up in formation, stepping from the Tu Yuan Kingdom into the territory of Da Gan.
On the other side of the river, Mokhadin had already led his men to greet them.
Seeing the reinforcements arriving on the bridge, Mokhadin's ruddy face filled with excitement, and he grinned:
"Look at these people! They're all strong and healthy; they're quite intimidating! Haha."
Several of his subordinates, with smiles on their faces, echoed:
"That's for sure, an army of 400,000, including the Eagle Army personally led by General Mitri!"
"The Eagle Army is composed entirely of elite soldiers, each capable of taking on ten men. With them in the battle, how can the Prince of Zhenbei possibly cope?"
"If they encounter the Eagle Army on the battlefield next, they will surely be slaughtered and flee in disarray!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mokodin stroked his chin and sneered, "We can't let them flee in disarray; we must leave them with nowhere to run!"
"This time, we are outnumbered and the enemy is outgunned. In addition, everyone in the camp is filled with resentment. We must take advantage of this momentum and launch a full-scale attack on Xijing. We must not only kill all of the Prince of Zhenbei's troops, but also take advantage of the situation to storm into Xijing City!"
"The people of Xijing who organized troops to rebel against us are just a bunch of troublemakers. After we stormed into Xijing, keeping them alive will only cause more trouble! We shouldn't spare their lives! We should kill them all!"
The general hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"Marshal, instead of killing them, it would be better to have them help me grow crops. Wouldn't it be better to have the women as slaves?"
Mokodin shook his head, his face extremely gloomy. He said coldly, "These people are all rebellious. What use are they if we keep them around? They will only cause trouble in the future."
"Killing them for now will serve as a deterrent to Daqian and show them the consequences of going to war with our Tuyuan Kingdom!"
"Only overwhelming force can frighten them and make them bow down and negotiate with us. In that case, they will have to cede more land to us."
"When spring comes next year and the weather warms up, we'll send even more troops to fight a major battle, gradually nibbling away at our territory!"
After he finished speaking, the generals nodded repeatedly.
One of them laughed and said, "Now all we have to do is wait for the war to begin. I can't wait!"
"I wonder what kind of expression the Prince of Zhenbei will have when he finds out that we have so many troops coming. Haha."
Mokodin then laughed:
“I’m afraid that when he sees our fierce approach, he will panic and retreat to Xijing, becoming a coward.”
"However... even if we enter Xijing, we have siege weapons, so where can he retreat to?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at each other and burst into laughter.
Just then, a warm and mellow voice came from ahead.
"Marshal Mokhadin, it's been a long time."
Mokhadin looked up, his eyes crinkling into crescents. He slapped his horse's rump and led several of his generals forward to meet them.
The group that arrived was none other than Mitri and Tu Shadong.
Mokodin laughed, "Mitri! I really didn't expect you to come! Haha."
"With you here, this battle will be much easier to fight."
Mitri raised his handsome face and said:
"Five years ago, Da Gan fought against us, but I was unable to come due to illness, which led to Da Gan taking Xijing away."
"And this time, with me, Mitri, here, I will surely return Xijing to its rightful owner!"
At this point, he looked sharply at Mokodin and continued:
"Where is the Prince of Zhenbei's 300,000-strong army now?"
Mokodin's face darkened, and he shook his head, saying, "I am concerned that they have an army of 300,000, so I have been stationed here and have not gone out for some time."
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be within Xijing City."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mitri nodded, looked up at the sun high in the sky, and then said:
"Good! As long as he doesn't lead his troops out of Xijing, that's fine!"
"It's still early, we can send troops there!"
Mokodin shook his head. "No."
“Mitri, there’s no need to rush. You’ve come a long way, so there’s no need to be anxious. The Prince of Zhenbei’s troops are all waiting in comfort.”
"Let's reorganize our troops first, and then send them to Xijing."
"Come back to the barracks with me first."
Subsequently, the 400,000-strong army that had come from afar from Tuyuan Kingdom crossed the bridge and joined the 120,000-strong army stationed on the border.
After the troops were assembled, Mokhadin, along with Mitri, gave an inspiring pre-battle rallying cry in front of everyone.
Its aim, of course, is to require all soldiers to be of one mind and to capture Xijing in one fell swoop, annihilating the 300,000-strong army of the Prince of Zhenbei!
On this day, everyone in Tu Yuan's military camp felt their blood surge and their bodies brimming with power.
They couldn't wait to rush to the battlefield and make an unparalleled contribution to capturing Xijing!
Everyone understood that after winning the next battle, each of them would gain an increase in status and wealth based on their military achievements.
Standing before the army, Mitri held his head high, his handsome face radiating confidence.
He addressed the crowd and said in a resounding voice:
"Previously, due to the sudden attack by the Prince of Zhenbei, we lost 80,000 warriors."
"Before that, five years ago, Da Gan fought against us and we were unfortunately defeated. Da Gan killed many of our people."
“I, Mitry, did not participate in either of these battles.”
"However, this time, I, Mitri, will not be absent from the battle! I will personally take action!"
"I, Mitri, assure you, will repay them for the harm they have caused us, in full!"
