War is not easy.
In the following year, Yan Miaoling's main body never left the northern border.
Scenario 1:
Xuanyuan Mingchen stared at her, dressed in military uniform, as she rode on horseback, looking very impressive. "Ling'er, I intend to send someone to attack the enemy city tonight. What do you think?"
Yan Miaoling's face was serious and she bowed, "The general is the leader of the Northern Army. You can make all the arrangements. I will absolutely obey you." She only had the title of a deputy general and did not have the airs of an emperor at all.
Since arriving here, he has tried his best to get close to the soldiers and generals, which has given the Northern Army a new understanding of the empress. Now, seeing her clear distinction between public and private affairs, he admires her a little more.
Xuanyuan Mingchen understood her feelings. It had been over three years since they confirmed their relationship. They were together almost every day. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were inseparable.
Seeing her insistence, he had no choice but to cooperate. According to the original plan, he began to call the troops, "Deputy General Zou, you will lead 3,000 soldiers as the vanguard!"
"yes!"
"Deputy General Liao, lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to go around and hide behind the enemy. If you see a fire in the south, lead your soldiers to charge through the north gate!"
"yes!"
Then, in full view of everyone, he turned to Yan Miaoling and said, "Deputy General Yan, you are the most skilled martial artist here, and you are agile and nimble, making you a smaller target. When the two armies are caught off guard, please take twenty soldiers and enter through the west gate. Kill the guards on the city wall and use them as an insider!"
Yan Miaoling clasped her fists and said, "Yes!"
Scenario 2:
A nimble figure penetrated deep into the enemy's armory. Quietly, he tampered with various firearms, rendering them useless the next day when the enemy lined up.
Xuanyuan Mingchen took the opportunity to order the 20,000 troops behind him, "Russ's firearms are no longer a threat. Soldiers, quickly follow me into the city and reclaim it!"
“Charge!”
For a moment, shouts shook the sky and flames rose up everywhere.
Scenario 3:
"Your Majesty, Yuwan City is very strong. We have been trapped outside for a month, and their army has not panicked. What should we do now?"
The emperor here is not Yan Miaoling. It is Chi Ao who led the army together with Dazhao. He came in person.
A forceful attack inevitably resulted in casualties. Therefore, from the outset, the military advisors advised a siege, cutting off the enemy's food and water supplies, hoping to force the Russians within the city to surrender without a fight within a month. However, the enemy was well prepared, with ample food and fodder within the city, making it easy to hold out for three months.
While Chi Ao was thinking, he suddenly heard the voice of a soldier behind him greeting, "Greetings to the Empress Dazhao!"
Yan Miaoling had been in the northern border for a long time, so her presence in Cole's army was no surprise. Initially, Chi Ao's subordinates had argued that it was inappropriate for the emperor of an enemy nation to be in the army. However, after repeated attempts to stop them, and with Chi Ao's unwavering attitude, they had grown accustomed to it and allowed it to proceed.
Even after Yan Miaoling helped him a few times, he started to greet people with a smile.
Yan Miaoling nodded politely, then stepped forward and stood on the higher ground with Chi Ao, watching the situation unfold. "How about I move the food out of the city tonight? This will cause civil unrest among the Russian army. Then I'll use magic to trick the soldiers into opening the gates, and you can seize the opportunity to charge in."
Chi Ao grinned broadly. "Haha, good!" Ling'er was simply a giant bug. Those pedantic people were truly ungrateful. With a new master like this leading them, why worry about losing territory and expanding their territory? They were unwilling to do so. Humph!
Chi Ao is a warlike person who likes fighting, killing, occupying territory and so on.
If Yan Miaoling hadn't suppressed him, this guy would have planned to wipe out the entire Ross.
...
The above three scenarios are just a small microcosm of the role Yan Miaoling has played over the past year.
The question is, since she has such extraordinary abilities, why does she have to go to the grassroots level, live and eat with the soldiers, and fight side by side with them?
The reason is simple. Besides recovering lost territory, the other is to win over the troops. You say, if I conquer all five cities in one night, or if I take a year and conquer all five cities with you, which one is more grounded, more memorable, and more emotional?
In the former case, the soldiers would think that she was a god, who did not belong to the human world at all and had nothing to do with them.
In the latter case, the soldiers would feel that she was a ruler close to a god, and would be more approachable and more willing to support her.
...
Over the past year, while the war in the north has become a constant topic of conversation among the officials and common people of Dazhao and Kor, the growth of the Hualian Sect is also not to be underestimated. Originally numbering 100,000, the sect has grown to a staggering 200,000 between the two countries, a truly terrifying feat.
Dazhao is easy to deal with.
Cole's situation was more serious. Not only ordinary people, but also some officials had quietly joined the Hualian Sect and worshipped the ancestor. Lan Shang frowned, thinking that the name "ancestor" sounded unpleasant, and suggested to Yan Miaoling, "Why not call her the Holy Mother of Yuling Mountain?"
"Virgin Mary?" The clone Yan Miaoling curled her lips, "That's a harsh thing to say."
Lan Shang was surprised. "Why? Isn't it mysterious and ethereal?"
Well, Yan Miaoling knew that this wouldn't make sense with the ancients, so she didn't explain any further. She was also lazy and didn't want to think of a name herself. "Okay, let's just leave it like this!"
Lan Shang took the opportunity to ask, "When will you show up in the world and give us some welfare or something?"
Well...
Look, that's inexperience and lack of consideration. Setting yourself up for the task is too high, and it's hard to land, leading to unnecessary trouble. Yan Miaoling paced back and forth, hands behind her back. "Well, on the fifteenth of this month, you'll go to the headquarters of the Kerr Fairy Temple... and tell them I'll be there, and I'll be there to guide those who are destined to follow me..."
-_-||
Why does she feel like a cult leader who specializes in cheating and deceiving people?
Ahem. No, we can’t cheat or deceive people, we need to get down to business.
