Early morning of March 23, the 11th year of the Xuanli calendar.
This is the third day of the confrontation between the two armies on both sides of Xiaohe River.
Fu Xiaoguan and Bei Wangchuan arrived at the Second Army yesterday.
He and Ning Siyan returned to their original appearance. He brought the commander of the First Army, Chen Po, and six brigade commanders of the First Army, as well as the general of the Western Frontier Army, Peng Chengwu, and summoned the six division commanders of the Second Army. Together with Bai Yulian, they held the first pre-war meeting.
This was the first meeting between the First and Second Divine Sword Armies. The two armies originally belonged to two countries, but now they belonged to Fu Xiaoguan alone!
"The war is urgent, so I won't say any more. Tuoba Yu wants to waste time with us, but he will soon be exhausted."
Fu Xiaoguan stood up, his face serious, "All troops, listen to my orders!"
Everyone stood up at this moment, even Peng Chengwu was no exception.
"Order, the First and Second Divisions of the Second Excalibur Army, depart immediately for the Desolate Court!"
"Orders: The Third and Fourth Divisions of the Second Divine Sword Army are to depart immediately for Lonely Cloud City to block the returning reinforcements of the Heavenly Sword Army. Remember, the Third and Fourth Divisions only need to hold off the Heavenly Sword Army for two days, then retreat and head towards Desolate Court."
"Orders: All northern border troops advance at full speed towards Cang Ying City. We must occupy Cang Ying City and strangle Tuoba Yu's way back to the desolate court... Cang Ying City cannot be lost. We must annihilate Tuoba Yu's troops within Cang Ying City!"
Fu Xiaoguan glanced at them and asked, "If you have any questions, please raise them now."
Chen Po raised his hand, "What is the First Army doing?"
Fu Xiaoguan laughed, "Tuoba Yu will launch at least one attack on us, and the First Army will of course face the enemy head-on."
Chen Po was delighted and nodded happily.
Peng Chengwu frowned slightly and raised his hand as well.
"The defenses of Desolate Court... should be very strong. Taking Desolate Court is not easy. If 200,000 Heavenly Blade soldiers return to support Desolate Court, with 40,000 soldiers in four divisions, if they fail to take Desolate Court and are attacked from both inside and outside, wouldn't that be disastrous?"
Fu Xiaoguan nodded and said, "You don't know, the Divine Sword Independent Division is currently attacking the Desolate Court. No news has been received yet, so Su Mo's battle is probably not going well."
He paused, then continued, "Now that the main defense force of the Desolate Court has been transferred here, and the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Second Army have joined the battle against the Desolate Court, it won't be too difficult to capture the Desolate Court."
"If the Desolate Court is attacked, Tuoba Feng will definitely send a message to Tuoba Yu, and Tuoba Yu will definitely come to support us. But he's afraid we'll catch him, so he'll launch a surprise attack on our army before returning. The northern border troops must quickly capture Cangying City to block his way back."
"After the Second Army's 12th Division captures Desolate Court, there are two possibilities: one is that they capture Tuoba Feng, and the other is that Tuoba Feng escapes. If they capture Tuoba Feng, the Heavenly Blade Army will either surrender or... fight to the death. Therefore, the 1234th Division must be prepared to face a fierce attack from the Heavenly Blade Army."
"And all the remaining troops must quickly eliminate Tuoba Yu's troops at the foot of Cangying City and block the Heavenly Blade Army outside the Desolate Court. After the Heavenly Blade Army is eliminated, this battle will be over, and the Desolate Country... will cease to exist!"
Only now, when Fu Xiaoguan explained the strategic layout in detail, did Peng Chengwu realize that Fu Xiaoguan really wanted to destroy the Huang Kingdom.
The 100,000-strong army of the Second Divine Sword Army rushed thousands of miles, and the First Divine Sword Army raided everywhere in the territory of the barbarians, all in order to create the current war situation.
If he had not listened to Emperor Xuan at the beginning, but instead defended Yanshan Pass tightly and tied down the Tiandao Army under Yanshan Pass, this strategy would have been more perfect - the Tiandao Army would have no way to withdraw to provide support, and the Shenjian Army would not have to consider the threat of the Tiandao Army. They would have been able to go all out to capture Huangting and wipe out the opposing 500,000 troops.
Then, together with the northern border troops, they will attack from both sides, and the Tiandao Army will surely be destroyed.
Why……
He sighed in his heart. If something unexpected happened in this battle, his death would not be a pity, but it would be a waste of Fu Xiaoguan's careful planning.
Everyone left the central military camp, and each army began to take action at this moment.
Fu Xiaoguan frowned, as he had not yet received the news that Tuoba Feng had been captured. He was very worried about the safety of the independent division.
Originally, the Second Divine Sword Army was going to attack Desolate Court, but they were forced to make a strategic change.
Now he did not expect Su Mo to take down Huang Ting. As long as Su Mo put enough pressure on Huang Ting, Tuoba Feng would definitely recall the 500,000 troops on the opposite side to defend. This was an opportunity.
The opportunity to destroy the 500,000-strong army!
…
…
Tuoba Yu on the opposite side received the message that Tuoba Feng had sent him before asking him to return for help.
At this moment, Tuoba Yu was also frowning. The enemy actually sent a troop to attack Huangting!
The defense of Desolate Court is now empty. If the enemy takes Desolate Court... Tuoba Yu took a breath of cold air and slowly closed his eyes... "The heaven wants to destroy my Desolate Country!"
"Grandpa, what happened?"
"Fu Xiaoguan is too cunning,"
Before he finished speaking, a scout ran in, "Report, there's unusual movement in the Second Excalibur Army. They're leaving."
Tuoba Yu was startled, his old eyes tightened, "Where are you going?"
"The first and second divisions are moving towards Desolate Court, and the third and fourth divisions are moving towards Lonely Cloud City. Also, the other 200,000 Yu Dynasty border troops are also moving towards our rear."
Tuoba Yu stood up suddenly. What the hell? Didn’t His Majesty say that the northern border troops were here to fight Fu Xiaoguan?
Your Majesty has fallen into the trap!
Something bad is happening!
"Quickly inform the commanders of all the tribes...!"
Half an hour later, the barbarian coalition sounded a loud horn.
Fu Xiaoguan stood opposite and said to Bai Yulian and Chen Po with a smile: "Su Mo has frightened Tuoba Feng. From now on, it's up to you."
"This is a tough battle, but as long as we stop Tuoba Yu's first wave of attacks, he will be powerless to continue. This guy is a talented person, but unfortunately he was hindered by the situation. Otherwise, if he had continued to stalemate with us like this, we would have been the ones suffering."
"Go give the order, I'll just watch from here."
On March 23rd, at 3:15 p.m., the Battle of Xiaoheyuan officially began.
Tuoba Yu was well prepared for this battle. He actually sent tens of thousands of people to build a floating bridge on the river!
However, the Excalibur Army stood a hundred meters away and launched round after round of volleys with flintlock rifles.
Amid the dense sound of gunfire, "bang bang bang bang...", countless barbarians were shot, and the blood soon dyed the Xiao River red.
"Archers, archers, shoot them!"
"Shield Guard, shield guard, come on, protect the soldiers building the bridge!"
“Charge…!”
On the stone bridge, the barbarian cavalry launched a charge.
Dozens of floating bridges were finally built on the Xiao River.
Countless barbarians rushed forward fearlessly, but what greeted them were the mines that had been buried long ago.
As explosions rang out, Tuoba Yu's heart began to bleed.
"Damn you, Fu Xiaoguan!"
"Don't take a single step back, or you'll die on the other side!"
