The twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month in the eleventh year of the Xuanli calendar.
Guan Xiaoxi's troops from the First Brigade of the First Divine Sword Army were the first to arrive at the northern peak of Pingling Mountain.
After a day of rest, on the night of the 29th day of the first lunar month, Guan Xiaoxi led 5,000 people from the First Brigade out of Beifeng and entered the Black Flag territory of the barbarians.
On the first day of February, Wei Wubing's troops from the Second Divine Sword Brigade and He Sandao's troops from the Third Divine Sword Brigade also arrived at their designated locations.
The next morning, Wei Wubing led his army to fight in the Yellow Flag territory, while He Sandao also shouted and rushed with his subordinates to the farther Green Flag territory.
By the third day of February, the First Divine Sword Army had fully entered the Wilderness Country. For a time, the Wilderness Country was in chaos.
Buckingham Palace.
Tuoba Feng looked at the requests for help from various places, his face even gloomier than the lead-gray sky.
These damn flies!
This trick again!
They fired a shot and ran away, stole the war horses, burned the granary, and disappeared into the vast snowfield.
"Have you found out? How many members of the Divine Sword Army have entered the Desolate Country? Why are there Divine Sword Army members in all six flags? What's going on with Tuoba Jian? It's been so many days and they still haven't taken Yanshan Pass?"
The roar from Tuoba Feng and the torture from the soul.
However, the hundreds of ministers standing below were all in silence, and no one could answer.
Scouts were sent out, and the guards of each flag were also searching for the Excalibur Army everywhere in the snowfield.
But I can’t catch their tails!
Even the 20,000 guards of the Qingqi Territory were defeated by the Divine Sword Army!
It is said that the leader of that army was called He Sandao. He led his subordinates to plunder Gerda, the capital of Qingqi territory, and even had a meal of roasted whole lamb!
Arrogant!
Too arrogant!
But the leader of the Qing Banner, Tuoba Cuo, not only did not dare to send out his personal guards, but also hid in the inner city, fearing that the damn He Sandao would break in.
"Your Majesty, I think it would be better to have half of the Heavenly Blade Army split off to wipe out the Divine Sword Army first. Let them continue to wreak havoc like this... I'm worried about the food and fodder!"
"They've already burned many granaries. We're going to face a period of famine. If we can't break through Yanshan Pass, the country will be ruined!"
Tuoba Feng took a deep breath and decided that the Tiandao Army must not be withdrawn. As long as they broke through Yanshan Pass, the Huang Kingdom army would be able to march south in one fell swoop.
The food problem has been solved. As for the Divine Sword Army in the Wilderness Country... let them harm the Eight Banners.
There are 200,000 troops stationed in Huangting. They are my personal troops. They are defending the walls with solid walls. There is no way the Divine Sword Army can break in.
It seems that we have to contact the northern border troops of the Yu Dynasty.
Tuoba Feng dismissed the court, wrote a note, and released a Saker Falcon.
…
…
Amidst the heavy snow and wind, another ranch in the Qingqi territory was damaged.
He Sandao and his five thousand men easily captured the ranch, then grinned.
The pen is full of cattle and sheep, and we actually caught a fat sheep!
"Tell the brothers to kill cattle and sheep. We'll stay here tonight and leave after we finish eating."
Tang Le, the commander of the 1st Regiment of the 3rd Brigade, sat down next to He Sandao and said, "Boss, I think this barbarian's daughter is pretty..."
“Bang!”
He Sandao raised his hand and slapped Tang Le on the head. "I have to tell you again, if you do something like this again, I will hand you over to Commander Chen for military punishment!"
Tang Le covered his head and chuckled, "Isn't this an enemy? Why keep him?"
He Sandao restrained his expression and stared at Tang Le intently. Tang Le's heart trembled, and then he heard He Sandao say very seriously: "I forgave you the first time, but you must remember, we are the Divine Sword Army, the army of Ding Anbo!"
"That's the rules! The rules written by Ding Anbo himself!"
"You son of a bitch, if you can't control your dick again... you're ruining the reputation of the Excalibur Army and Ding Anbo! To tell you the truth, if you dare to do it again, even if it's one of your own men, I won't hand you over to Commander Chen... I will chop your head off!"
Tang Le broke out in a cold sweat. The brigade commander in front of him looked like he was laughing all day long. If he took it seriously, he would definitely be able to do it.
"I was wrong!"
"It's good to know you're wrong. If you know you're wrong, you have to change it!"
Tang Le swallowed his saliva and said, "I will definitely change and never do it again! But... Boss, why keep those people around? We might as well kill them all."
"You know nothing! This is Ding Anbo's order. Remember, kill all the armed forces, burn all the food and fodder, and kill all the war horses. The only ones left behind are the poor and the slaves..."
"Poor people and slaves don't count towards military merit; instead, they'll have their merit deducted. So I have to emphasize again and again, my brothers, that you should be vigilant with your swords and guns, and don't let this hinder my chances of becoming a division commander!"
After the five thousand people had eaten and drunk their fill, He Sandao took out the map, marked an X at this location, and then felt a little depressed because the Qingqi territory was about to be cleared out by him.
What to do next?
According to the plan, he should lead his troops back to Pingling North Peak, but there are still more than twenty days before the final return to Pingling North Peak. There is no benefit in going back too early.
It's better to...
His eyes wandered over the map of the Desolate Country. There were Divine Sword Troops in all six flags, and each of them was as fierce as a wolf or a tiger. It was unlikely that they would leave any profit. Otherwise, why not attack the Desolate Court?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, he shook his head. No, it was too much to think that 5,000 people would attack Huang Ting.
Then we can attack the Eight Directions City outside the Desolate Courtyard, for example...
His finger fell right in front of him - Daya City!
"Tang Le, send scouts to investigate the situation of the garrison in Daya City!"
…
…
Guan Xiaoxi has already cleared out most of the Black Flag territory, and he is also very conflicted. At this moment, he is sitting in the general's tent with a map in front of him, but he is thinking about He Sandao!
That guy is not a man who will keep quiet.
Will this guy go back to Pingling Mountain after clearing out the Qingqi territory?
Definitely impossible!
That kid has been eyeing the position of division commander. Although the fifth prince Yu Wendao resigned from the position of division commander of the first division, three division commander positions have been vacant.
But the First Army has six brigade commanders. Wei Wubing is secretly holding back a lot of energy. Although Wang Xiaozhuang, commander of the Fourth Brigade, is uneducated, he is a smart and cunning guy. He is also a veteran of the First Army and has participated in the Battle of Pingling. He is also a powerful figure.
The commander of the Fifth Brigade, Feng Xi, is a dark horse. With his immense strength, he wields a forty- to fifty-kilogram sword like it's a toy. He is reckless during training, and I'm sure he will be reckless in battle as well.
The commander of the Sixth Brigade, Butcher, is a real veteran. He once served in the Eastern Frontier Army and was a subordinate of Bai Tou'er. He is nearly forty years old and yet he was able to rank sixth in the training of 30,000 people. He is obviously a strong candidate.
They are all great people, but we must not be careless.
What should I do to achieve greater military merit?
His sight also fell on one of the eight defensive cities of Huangting - Guoyun City!
Hehe, I’m going to raid Guoyun City!
