The Weiyuan Kingdom was planning to leave the southern border empty while its troops were tied up in the northern border.

In that case, let the southern border be "empty".

-————

In the middle of the night in the southern border, the crescent moon hung high in the gray-black sky, with a few thin layers of clouds next to it, which were dimmed by the moonlight.

The army that had been surging at night began to move forward again. After three nights, the army had been deployed. Most of the hills overlooking the border of Ning'an Kingdom and just within the range of the gun had been occupied. With just one order, the defense line could be quickly broken.

At dawn, the army hid again.

The spies hidden in Ning'an Kingdom quietly crossed the border and entered the palace of Weiyuan Kingdom.

A handsome and noble man was sitting beside him, wearing a royal blue silk robe with a five-bat-holding-longevity-round-flower pattern. His slender fingers gently turned the yellowed pages of the book.

"It will take about three days for the Ning'an army to reach the northern border."

The man in black half-knelt in front of the man, one hand on the table, the other on his knee, his head bowed, very respectful.

The man frowned, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Three more days?"

The man in black said: "Yes. It is said that the general is seriously ill."

The man nodded lightly: "Are there any other abnormalities in Ning'an?"

The man in black shook his head: "No. The emperor of Ning'an personally summoned the army. Although the march slowed down a bit due to the general's illness, it has been rushing to the north. The two armies drawn from the south have also left the south."

The man nodded lightly.

After the man in black bowed,

he quietly left the room. He silently pinched the corners of the book, and his eyes reflected the swaying branches in the garden.

Success or failure depends on this move.

Night.

Xiao Tuo and Xiao Yuning were lurking nearby. Weiyuan State had already made its deployment. However, since the Ning'an State's army had not yet reached the northern border, there was no movement during the past two nights.

The enemy was in the open, and we were in the dark. We had already understood the enemy's deployment and military strength, and then deployed our own troops in a targeted manner.

The enemy's spies had been following the marching troops for several days, and their whereabouts had long been discovered. After deliberately avoiding them, they slowly withdrew troops from the main force and went to the southern border, deliberately releasing false information.

In two days, the emperor negotiated with Qiu State and Nan State, and persuaded them to send troops to form an alliance.

The coalition army had quietly lurked in the southern border, and once the war broke out, it would only take two hours to arrive.

The war was about to break out.

The night was still filled with the smell of sand. Xiao Yuning and Xiao Tuo turned over and lay on the sand slope, looking up at the clear and shining starry sky above the border.

Xiao Yuning leaned on Xiao Tuo's elbow and said, "You are good, little brat. If you don't make a sound, it's fine. If you make a sound, it will be amazing. If you win this battle, it will be your greatest achievement."

Xiao Yuning thought for a while and said, "Maybe you will be promoted to the fourth-rank general. By then, our Xiao family will have a young genius." It

was rare for Xiao Yuning to praise him, but Xiao Tuo, who usually loves to show off, didn't react at this time.

He rested his head on his head and turned to look at him, and saw Xiao Tuo staring at the sky in a trance.

"You little brat, are you worried?"

Xiao Tuo was silent for a while, then turned to look at Xiao Yuning: "I wasn't the first to notice what happened in the southern border."

Xiao Yuning sat up and slapped Xiao Tuo: "I was wondering why you suddenly got the idea, did you get some advice from someone?"

Xiao Tuo: "...your sister-in-law."

Xiao Yuning's expression became even more shocked, and after a long while, he stuttered: "My sister-in-law is really... a woman who is as good as a man... amazing..."

Seeing Xiao Tuo's strange expression, Xiao Yuning approached in confusion: "You married such an amazing wife, what are you worried about?"

Xiao Tuo pushed his brother away: "Do I look very worried?"

Xiao Yuning nodded: "It's written on my face."

Xiao Tuo stood up, rubbed his face vigorously, and walked down: "You are wrong."

——

"Your Highness, the Ning'an army has arrived at the northern border." The setting

sun was bloodshot, and the dim yellow and fire were connected into one piece, reflected in Tang Yu's eyes.

Since the last defeat in the north, countless people have been ready to move, coveting his position as the crown prince. This is his last chance, he must win.

Tang Yu put on his armor, took up his sword, stood up, watched the sun completely sink, and walked out of the big tent.

In Heyou Town, lanterns were lit up and hung at the end of the streets, looking peaceful and warm. A

deafening sound suddenly rang out, shaking the lanterns.

Fires soon lit up on the hilltops not far from the border, and a rain of arrows slid down the sky. Orange-red fireballs shot towards the camp where the Ning'an Kingdom was stationed. They had already found out the warehouses and arsenals where the Ning'an Kingdom's army stored food. At the beginning of the war, they first cut off the enemy's rear reserves.

A raging fire started and soon burned into a sea.

The morale of the Weiyuan army was greatly boosted. After the commander gave an order, they lit torches and rushed in.

The teams guarding the border had no time to react, and saw a large group of people rushing towards them. The roar was deafening, and dozens of people threw away their armor and turned to run to the back.

The soldiers of Weiyuan laughed.

The morale of the enemy was greatly boosted, and they attacked with swords raised.

The soldiers of Ning'an ran out of the burning tents, picked up their weapons in panic, and gradually gathered them in dishevel. They looked at the large group of enemies in front of them with fear.

Lin Yanjue stood in front and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't panic! Retreat to Linqupo!"

There is a high ground there, easy to defend and easy to attack.

The soldiers instantly became determined and retreated while resisting.

Linqupo is still ten miles away from Heyou Town. The lanterns in Heyou Town fluttered in the howling ghostly night wind. It was quiet and strangely quiet.

The army of Ning'an Kingdom has always been fierce, especially the Chiyang Army. Something is wrong... something is wrong...

Tang Yu frowned and pulled the horse suddenly: "Stop!"

The last defeat of Ning'an Kingdom had already aroused resentment in the hearts of the soldiers of Weiyuan Kingdom. In addition, they had marched in silence for more than ten nights, and they were all exhausted. At this time, the war was going very smoothly, and they rushed to the front and killed with bloodshot eyes.

But no matter whether Tang Yu tried to stop it or not, it was too late.

The dark mountains suddenly lit up, and Tang Yu raised his head, and saw a circle of densely packed troops above. At this time, they were in a low place, and the army of Ning'an Kingdom occupied the high ground and surrounded them.

The army, which was still panicked just now, turned around with a smile, and there was a flash of fire in their eyes.

Judging from the number, it was far more than the troops stationed in the southern border before.

The battle reversed in an instant. On the high ground, in the center of the crowd, a young man rode out on horseback, and his voice echoed in the silent and noisy valley: "Shoot!"

The harsh and sharp sound of the arrows actually exploded close to the eardrums, and the rain of arrows came from the sky.

The soldiers of Weiyuan quickly gathered and raised their shields.

He had never seen such a young general before, but he was able to hold back the overwhelming momentum of tens of thousands of troops behind him.

A fierce look flashed across Tang Yu's eyes. He could never have imagined that Ning'an had figured out his plan so early and set up a trap within a trap.

The terrain was too disadvantageous. Tang Yu waved away the arrows near him and shouted, "Retreat!"

The horn sounded, and the soldiers of Weiyuan retreated while resisting the rain of arrows falling from the sky.

Xiao Yuning and Lin Yanjue took the lead in leading the team to rush down the valley. The fierce attack directly broke the opponent's defense circle. The soldiers of Weiyuan were forced to stop and start fighting.

There was no telling what traps there might be in this area, Tang Yu gave the same order: "Get out of here as quickly as possible!" A

loud and clear horn sounded.

Xiao Tuo stood on his horse, his dark eyes shone brightly in the night: "Since you're here, don't leave."

Some of the Weiyuan people held off the incoming troops from behind, while the rest were responsible for tearing open the gap in the back.

"Retreat!"

Lin Yanjue shouted, and the troops of Ning'an retreated one after another.

At the same time, huge rocks rolled down from the hillside, and a second round of even more fierce arrow rain followed.

The soldiers of Weiyuan were in chaos in an instant.

The huge rocks rolled down, echoing with a huge and deafening sound, and the screams of the enemy continued to ring.

Tang Yu looked at the chaotic battlefield, turned around, rushed to the back of the team, raised his sword: "Follow me!"

With the prince leading the charge, the Weiyuan army instantly had a backbone, and they abandoned the battlefield one after another and rushed back.

Xiao Tuo looked at the thin figure rushing in the front, and a little admiration rose in his eyes. He pinched an arrow from behind, strung the bow, aimed at him, pulled the bow to the extreme, and then shot it suddenly.

Tang Yu waved back the approaching people, and tore open an exit with rapid speed and accurate attack. The people behind followed closely, tearing the hole bigger and bigger.

A sharp wind direction suddenly came from behind, Tang Yu quickly turned sideways, and the sword brushed his arm and collided with the armor to produce sparks.

Two arrows followed closely, and Tang Yu was unable to dodge, and was stabbed in the area of ​​his armour slightly above his elbow.

He frowned, turned around, and saw the young general sitting on a horse, pinching a sword with his fingers and pulling the bow.

Tang Yu narrowed his eyes and turned around quickly: "Drive!"

The army of Weiyuan Kingdom gradually opened up a gap, and Lin Yanjue said: "Chase!"

The cavalry took the lead and chased out.

Deputy General Chen was responsible for leading the archers to continue to capture the high ground. Xiao Tuo rode down the hillside, grabbed the arrow on the side of the horse with his hand, and drew the sword out of the sheath, making a sound of iron friction that made people's ears numb.

The sword reflected the flickering torches and moonlight around it, drew a vague line in the air, and rushed straight to the front of the team.

The young man rushed to the front like a fearless wild wolf, swept away the approaching enemy, swung the sword in a circle, aimed at the flying military flag in front, threw the sword suddenly, and the sword flew forward in a spin. There was

a sound that was not obvious in the noisy battlefield, and the flagpole of the military flag was instantly cut off, fell to the ground, and then was trampled.

The military flag fell, and the shaky military spirit of Weiyuan Kingdom took a few steps towards the edge of the cliff.

Xiao Tuo rode his horse over, took the sword, and stopped the horse.

Xiao Yuning and Lin Yanjue rode up on horseback, Xiao Yuning raised his hand slightly, and the troops in the rear slowly stopped.

The enemy troops in front also slowly stopped, and Tang Yu and four generals walked to the front of the team.

At the same time, the allied forces of Ning'an Kingdom had arrived and gathered into a large team, and the four generals of Qiu Kingdom and Nan Kingdom walked to the front.

The two armies officially faced off, and the air was filled with gunpowder smoke, and along with the bloody smell, it dyed the moonlit night in the southern border red.

The author has something to say: When writing to the later part, I feel that everyone doesn't seem to like the war plot very much, but I felt that this part of the plot had to be written as early as when the name of the novel was decided. Therefore, I will continue to write according to my original idea. This is the first time that Xunbao has written an article. It may be a little immature, but it is also a record of my current stage. I will try my best to end it well later. I hope you will continue to support me.
