Gongsun You skillfully squatted down to check, carefully observing those corpses.
“If nothing unexpected happens, they should be assassins from the Wei Country.”
Night clothes were almost standard equipment for assassins, no normal person would run around in black. In addition, there were some clearly indicative waist tokens and weapons on the bodies, which could be identified at a glance.
In this day and age, if you’re not one of us, you’re naturally an enemy.
“It’s a sword wound.”
Gongsun You pulled out a feather arrow from the body. “Wait, it’s an arrow from the Great Yuan army.”
“The army that has to pass through this forest area recently—”
Before he finished speaking, Zong Luo had a number in his heart.
The Tianji Army.
Only the Tinaji Army, which set off from the Bai City at the same time as them, left a day earlier.
Zong Luo thought that Yu Beizhou would not choose this route, after all, although this route was closer, it required crossing the forest area, which was quite rugged. The Tianji Army was a regular army, although it was only a part of the vanguard, but in addition to the cavalry, there were also heavy cavalry and chariots, in short, it couldn’t march at full speed on uneven ground like the Xuan Cavalry.
So the question came again, both the Xuan Cavalry and the Tianji Army were famous in the Great Wilderness. But the black armor of the Xuan Cavalry was definitely the first. Since it’s an assassination, it’s not likely to be unable to distinguish even this.
Gongsun You continued, “The reason why the white tiger has been following us can also be clarified. This should not be the first wave of assassinations, the Tianji Army may have solved several such assassinations. The white tiger may have eaten fresh human flesh once, so when it saw the cavalry dressed similarly, it followed.”
The only problem was that the Tianji Army obviously took action to help the Xuan Cavalry. If it weren’t for this white tiger, he’s afraid no one would know about this. Of course, even now that they know, Gongsun You was still somewhat unclear about the reason for the King of Beining’s action.
This explanation was very pertinent, and it happened to coincide with what Zong Luo thought.
What is Yu Beizhou doing? He clearly says he hates, but he does such hypocritical things.
Who cares?
Zong Luo sneered, sheathed his sword, “Let’s go.”
From the mountain range to the front line, they no longer experienced any ambushes.
It wasn’t until they safely arrived at the main camp and General Bai came out to greet them that they saw the person standing behind Mu Yuanlong take off his helmet.
“This subordinate pays his respects to His Highness the Crown Prince!” Bai Zhiye hurriedly saluted.
“No need for formalities, tell me about the current situation.” Zong Luo put his helmet aside.
Mu Yuanlong went to settle the Xuan Cavalry.
There were still cities that had not been conquered. But because they had taken other countries, the army of the Great Yuan directly bypassed the hinterland of the Wei Country and aimed straight at the throat and lifeline of the Imperial City.
The current situation, if one had to say, the Wei Country felt a bit besieged on all sides.
If they win this battle, they might have some more time to linger. If they lose, it would be a total collapse, with no hope at all.
Although it’s a battle, the war was not won in one fell swoop, it’s impossible to finish it in one battle. It had to be divided into large and small different battles, attacking from three directions, namely the left, the front, and the right.
Zong Luo sat in the rear, commanding the Xuan Cavalry to attract firepower from the front, feinting. The main firepower still had to be concentrated on the left and right wings.
“The Weishan Army is in charge of the left wing, and the King of Beining is in charge of the right wing.”
Bai Zhiye spread out the marching map and explained the previously arranged plan to Zong Luo. “The Wei Country’s army is stationed in the rear by the old man Wan Tiangong.”
Wan Tiangong was also one of the famous generals in the Great Wilderness. He was known for winning with surprise attacks, was treacherous and cunning, and loved to kill and surrender, which was a lowly method. He was previously a great general of the Ah Country, after the Ah Country was destroyed, he was obtained and reused in the Wei Country.
In addition, Bai Zhiye also reported a series of names of generals.
Listening to these names, Zong Luo’s face gradually became serious.
“Your Highness, yesterday this old minister received a secret letter from His Majesty. You must sit in the rear this time, don’t step onto the battlefield.” Bai Zhiye said solemnly. “In this battle, the Wei Country will definitely use the mechanism devices of the Gongshu family.”
When it came to the Gongshu family, one couldn’t avoid the Shenji Crossbow and the Wei Country’s Imperial City. (TL: Shenji-Godly Machine; Divine Machine)
It was said that the city wall of the Imperial City had been transformed beyond recognition, and although it had exhausted the remaining power of the Wei Country just for regular maintenance in the later period, its power was indeed strong.
Especially the Shenji Crossbow.
This time, three main camps were set up behind the front line, in order to confuse the enemy’s sight. During the command of the battle, not only did the rear have to remain vigilant, but Zong Luo also had to change camps at any time and could not enter the range of the Shenji Crossbow.
Fortunately, the Shenji Crossbow was too big, not easy to transport, and had not been used for many years. The few times the Shenji Crossbow was pulled, it was when the Wei Country was in a crisis of life and death. It could be said that there was only one chance to pull the bow, and pulling it meant losing this battle.
