The main reason why the Daqian Dynasty was able to contend with it was its superior military equipment.
Shuofeng lacks the resources for heavy cavalry. If they had a well-organized heavy cavalry force... the consequences would be unimaginable!
Therefore, Qin Zhaoqiong had another extremely important mission on this trip.
All the generals on the northern frontier are probably thinking about forming an army of women right now, and taking advantage of their preoccupation, I headed straight for this place on the first night.
The creature in the forest is Da Gan's deadly weapon against external forces—the Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry!
The man before them was none other than Li Yuanxiao, the commander of the Divine Strategy Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry.
It comprised five battalions, each with a thousand cavalry, collectively known as the Five Vanguards of Xuanjia.
A fourth-rank military officer is not considered high among all the generals in the entire Great Gan Dynasty, but his status is extraordinary, as he is only subject to the orders of Empress Qin Minghuang.
The tiger tally brought by Qin Zhaoqiong was the only credential for commanding the enemy, and it was limited to the uses specified in the imperial edict.
The Divine Strategy Xuanjia Army is elusive and its location is always top secret.
Its secrecy amplifies its deterrent power; it is a vital national asset that can be used in unconventional ways.
This time, they lay in ambush so close to Zhenbei Pass to guard against the missing pig iron.
If the situation changes, launch a swift and decisive strike to alter the course of the conflict.
Qin Zhaoqiong stood solemnly, and Liu Yan stood ramrod straight, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
Qin Zhaoqiong used telepathy to speak to Li Yuanxiao:
"General Li, this gentleman beside me is Liu Yan, commander of the Xuanji Guard."
Remember, there are only two signals for deploying the Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry.
Firstly, it could be either myself or Liu Yan who came in person;
Secondly, there were three-colored whistling arrows fired in a specific order.
"Yes," Li Yuanxiao replied in a deep voice, then added,
"Your Highness, I must remind you that our Shence Army has the right to make decisions on the battlefield according to the law."
Whether to intervene in the battle, when to intervene, and when to withdraw troops will be decided by this humble general based on the situation on the battlefield.
"Of course," Qin Zhaoqiong agreed without hesitation, her tone resolute.
"On this trip, I will assemble three thousand female light cavalry, along with one thousand imperial guards to accompany me, forming the 'Phoenix Feather Camp'."
All soldiers under this battalion, including myself, will serve as scouts and rearguard for the Shence Army on the battlefield.
But since you are driven by duty, General, please do not consider anything else.
Qin Zhaoqiong's eyes shone brightly, containing an unwavering determination.
"General Li, what I said is true."
Upon hearing this, Li Yuanxiao raised his eyes, which were hidden beneath his heavy armor mask, and looked at the person opposite him for the first time.
Qin Zhaoqiong looked back calmly, without the slightest hesitation.
Li Yuanxiao clasped his hands in a fist salute and nodded slightly. The heavy armor once again resounded with a clanging sound: "Shence Xuanjia Army, heed my command!"
"Okay." Qin Zhaoqiong nodded.
The purpose of this meeting has been achieved.
Qin Zhaoqiong didn't linger for a moment longer, and she and Liu Yan quickly turned around and disappeared back into the darkness of the dense forest.
Staying here for even a moment longer increases the risk of exposure.
Once the two figures had completely disappeared into the forest, the valley and dense woods returned to their chilling silence, with only the mountain wind howling through the gaps in the trees.
Downwind, atop a steep cliff, a pair of eyes slowly opened...
