Chapter 418 has five battalions under its command, all are here!
Northern border, Zhenbei Pass.
The lead-gray sky hung low, as if glued to the distant horizon.
The bitter autumn wind blew up gravel, whipping the cold and thick walls of the pass, making a whining sound.
Although the earth-shaking vision just now has faded, what remains is a deeper sense of unease and solemnity.
Outside the pass, the army of the Shufeng Dynasty was like a dark tide, flooding across the plains and heading straight for the pass.
The inner city walled city had already fallen into complete chaos.
The sounds of crying, fighting, and the clashing of weapons mixed with the rising smoke and dust continued to be heard.
The urgent assembly order, representing the highest level of alert in the army, suddenly sounded, penetrating the noise and striking the hearts of every soldier.
Inside the central army tent, figures flashed quickly, and all senior generals put on their armor and assembled as quickly as possible.
Under the blessing of Liu Yan's extremely fast "momentum", Qin Zhaoqiong almost turned into a shadow.
He left his personal guards behind and quickly rushed into the tent.
Her eyes were filled with evil, and her whole body was filled with the dust and coldness that had rushed over her.
At this moment, General Yuan Zhen, the Great Zhenbei, was already wearing a helmet and armor, his face as solemn as iron.
The core generals of the Xuanwu Army, including General Dingyuan Su Mu, Marching Sima Sun Wen Ce, General Xuanwei Li Hua, and Huaihua Lieutenant General Zhou Yuan, have all arrived. The atmosphere in the tent is so solemn that it is almost suffocating.
Qin Zhaoqiong, who had just arrived, made everyone's heart tense.
The scout rushed into the tent without any notice.
"Report to the General!
The gate of the city wall was completely destroyed, and a large number of Shuofeng cavalry poured in.
The main gate of Zhenbei Pass was affected and cracks appeared, but preliminary inspection showed that the main damage did not seem to be serious.
The terrifying phenomenon in the world just now was probably caused by a high-level powerful person in the Divine Martial Realm.
Although the strange phenomenon has faded at this moment, the city wall has almost been lost.
The Shuofeng army is not testing us, but attacking with all their might!"
Qin Zhaoqiong didn't wait for Yuan Zhen to speak before shouting, "Liu Yan!"
Liu Yan, who had been following her like a shadow, immediately showed up, knelt on one knee, and clasped his fists, his expression extremely grim:
"Generals, the aura you just displayed is definitely not something that an ordinary third-grade Divine Martial Realm cultivator could possess.
Its pressure is so immense that it can even move celestial phenomena. It is at least at the second level, or even... possibly even stronger!"
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on General Yuan Zhen of Zhenbei, who was also a third-grade Divine Martial Realm cultivator.
Yuan Zhen nodded heavily, confirming Liu Yan's judgment:
“What you said is true. The power that erupted in that instant was far above mine.
Now that a large army is approaching, and there are at least second-grade masters hiding in the dark, the situation... is critical and life-or-death."
He changed the subject, clasped his fists and looked at Qin Zhaoqiong, asking for instructions in his tone.
"Your Highness, Prince Chen, please advise me on how to respond now."
Although he is the highest military commander in the north, His Royal Highness Prince Chen came as a military supervisor, and he needs to clarify whether his powers and responsibilities will change during the war.
Sure enough, the next moment, Liu Yan quickly took out a bright yellow satin imperial edict from his bosom and held it high above his head:
"His Majesty's secret order is here!"
The generals in the tent subconsciously wanted to kneel on one knee to receive the order, but Qin Zhaoqiong took two steps forward and grabbed Yuan Zhen's arm:
"During this critical period, formalities are unnecessary. General Yuan, everyone, circulate this document immediately!"
"yes!"
The imperial edict was quickly passed among several senior generals. It was clearly stamped with the imperial seal, which explicitly granted Prince Qin Zhaoqiong the supreme power to lead all wars in the northern border.
"I obey your orders!"
Yuan Zhen was the first to clasp his fists, and the other generals followed suit without any objection.
Qin Zhaoqiong swept his sharp eyes across the entire audience and shouted again:
"Liuyan, seal off the tent!"
Liu Yan obeyed the order, and the invisible "momentum" around him expanded instantly.
Like a transparent cover, it tightly enveloped the entire central military tent.
Unless a strong person of the second level attacks forcefully, it will be impossible for the outside world to see anything inside the tent, so the meeting can be carried out without any worries for the time being.
"From this moment on, all generals must be under the strict protection of the military formation and must not be left alone." Qin Zhaoqiong said in a cold voice.
"Even personal bravery will be greatly suppressed by the combined might of a vast army and the vicious energy of a battlefield.
Even if he is at the second level, he would not dare to get surrounded and fight alone.
Although I am in charge of the war in the northern border, the specific deployment of troops and the decision-making in the face of the enemy still rely on General Yuan and the other generals, and I will not interfere."
She spoke very quickly and clearly:
"The two thousand cavalrymen from my Fengling Battalion can immediately lead the way as vanguard.
Besides, a part of the Shen Ce Xuan Jia Army is stationed nearby, and I can mobilize them at any time."
A slight gasp was heard from inside the tent.
The Fengling Camp was established just over half a month ago, with a base of 3,000 women, and now only has more than 1,000 cavalrymen available.
Most of them were already strong fighters or were selected from Fengjing Imperial Guards, but they were still far from being fully formed.
A frontal charge might not be enough, but if I could serve as the eyes and ears of that legendary army...
Yuan Zhen suppressed the turmoil in his heart and asked hurriedly:
"Your Highness, how many battalions of the Shen Ce Xuan Jia Army have arrived?"
That is the heavily armored cavalry built by Dagan with all the national strength, a national weapon!
Qin Zhaoqiong said bluntly: "It has five battalions under its command, and the five black armored vanguards are all on standby nearby."
Five thousand heavily armored cavalry!
Yuan Zhen's breathing suddenly became heavy, and his eyes burst into astonishing light.
Five thousand heavy cavalry, deployed on the battlefield at this critical moment, are enough to completely turn the tide of the battle.
There were only five words left in his mind at this moment:
One battle decides the outcome!
