The prince who was far away from the capital wanted to fight for the throne, so he led an army back to the capital to force the palace.
This is the only way. Needless to say, if it succeeds, but if it fails, all participants will be punished for treason. It can almost be said to be the riskiest method.
Although An Junshan has this idea, it does not mean that he will choose to take sides now.
They have no problem with His Royal Highness Prince Yu being the General of Zhenguan, but if they want to completely conquer them, the abilities he has shown so far are far from enough.
If His Highness Prince Yu wants them to take this risk with him, he must make them feel worthy of following him.
"Your Highness, if there are no other instructions, I will retire from my humble position."
All kinds of thoughts just flashed through An Junshan's mind. When he raised his head again, his expression had returned to normal.
Di Xin waved his hand casually, indicating that he could help himself.
In the days that followed, Di Xin resumed his life as before.
In the morning, I read a book and continued to learn about the culture, history, geography, etc. of the Ancient Moon World, and by the way, I saw if I could find any traces of the Aether Flower; in the afternoon, I went to take a look at the training results of the guards, or to spend time having fun with Song Qianwei and Wang Ruoqing.
Time, sometimes also includes Xizi; in the evening, he retreats to everyone in the backyard to practice martial arts; late at night, he and Wang Ruoqing cultivate their relationship as husband and wife.
During this period, Di Xin also noticed from the high hanging full moon that Sparta seemed to be paying more attention to him.
Two days later, the three hundred-man squadrons used as cover by the Turks were annihilated under a sneak attack by soldiers at the garrison.
The next day, the 1,700 Turkic cavalry who arrived at Taicang were defeated by the Flying Leopard Army, which was three times more numerous than them. Only a few people escaped and died in the subsequent pursuit of the Flying Leopard Battalion.
In this world where there is no telephone network and low magic, there is a certain delay in the transmission of news, so Di Xin only received the good news on the fifth day.
The Turkic side is still in the dark for the time being due to Yanque Pass's blockade of information.
However, Di Xin knew that this was only temporary. The Turkic cavalry entering Dali must have agreed on a signal for success in advance. If the Turks did not receive the signal for a long time, they would inevitably realize that the operation had failed.
This won't take long.
But this is the time difference that Di Xin is playing with.
The army's formations and strategic deployments are one after another. It is impossible to wait for the news before proceeding to the next step. On the day when the news was received that all the Turkic cavalry had been annihilated, the scouts at the junction of Dali and the Turks also came.
Got the news.
A part of the Turkic army is secretly mobilizing and gathering in the direction of Yanque Pass. According to statistics, the number is about 20,000.
What is the concept of an army of 20,000 people?
To Blue Star in the prehistoric world or Di Xin's previous life, perhaps an army of 20,000 people was nothing, but where was this?
This is the ancient moon world that is still in a feudal farming society. The production capacity is low, the medical level is not high, and the population has been greatly restricted from the beginning.
Not to mention other countries, Dali, as a nation from all nations, is currently the most powerful country in the Ancient Moon Realm.
However, as the capital of central administration, Dali only had 120,000 troops.
As the general who guarded the border, Di Xin only had 60,000 troops under his command, which had to be divided among different lines of defense.
After apportionment, Yanque Pass, which is the frontline pass to resist the Turks, only has more than 30,000 people even including the surrounding guard posts.
There are more than 30,000 people, which seems to be more than 20,000 people, but the combat power is not calculated in this way.
Most of the 30,000 soldiers at Yanque Pass are infantry, while most of the Turks are cavalry. If there are enough horses, they can even be full cavalry.
Thirty thousand infantrymen are enough to defend the city, but if they want to go out of the city and confront the Turkic cavalry head-on, there is only one idea.
The Turks' plan was basically clear at this point.
First use two thousand cavalry to destroy the food and fodder of the border officers, and then the army will surround the city without attacking.
The food and grass for the border officers mostly depended on the supply of the imperial court, and the imperial court also needed to collect food and grass from various places. Therefore, it means that after losing this batch of food and grass, in the case of being besieged, the remaining food at Yanque Pass will definitely
It is not enough to support the delivery of the latest batch of grain and grass.
Therefore, if they do not want to be at the end of their rope, the Yanqueguan soldiers can only open the city to meet the enemy and use the flesh and blood of the infantry to attack the Turkic cavalry.
Although soldiers from other acropolis can also come to support, if the Turkic side has the advantage, new troops will inevitably join.
The key point of all this is the food and grass that is about to reach Taicang Mansion.
If the food and grass are not destroyed, if the Turkic cavalry still besieges the city, they will be the ones who are eventually defeated.
Therefore, although the Turkic army has completed its assembly, it will only take action after receiving a signal that the attack on grain and grass has been successful.
Now that the Turkic army of two thousand cavalry has been wiped out, the food and grass are safe and sound. After realizing this, the Turkic army will definitely give up the action and retreat quietly.
But will Di Xin allow this to happen?
If you want to fight, fight, if you find that you can't fight, don't fight. There are so many good things in the world.
Now that offense and defense are reciprocal, the Turkic side has lost its advantage in intelligence. It would be a pity to give up this opportunity.
"The only pity is that in order to ensure the safety of food and grass, almost all the cavalry have been sent to Taicang Mansion this time, and they will not be able to come back for a while."
Di Xin sighed regretfully, and then, under Xizi's service, he changed into pure black night clothes and stepped out of the General's Mansion for the first time since entering Yanque Pass for more than half a month.
After getting on his horse, Di Xin controlled the direction and rode toward the city gate. At the same time, he asked Ouyang Xuan who was following him: "Have everyone been trained?"
"Everyone has been trained and given instructions."
Ouyang Xuan, who was also riding on a horse, said slightly excitedly.
He initially agreed to become the commander of Di Xin's personal guard because Di Xin promised to let him go free when he came to the border so that he could fight on the front line.
However, in the battle at Qinglong Stream, Di Xin left behind and although he succeeded in killing the enemy, his strength was greatly damaged and his level dropped to the early stage of martial arts.
Therefore, under the dual psychological influence of gratitude and guilt, Ouyang Xuan continued to serve as the commander of the personal guard after entering Yanque Pass, closely protecting Emperor Xin.
But now it turns out that even if he follows Di Xin to protect him, he still has a fight to fight.
Looking at it this way, His Highness Prince Yu still did not break his promise.
Just a little bit.
Ouyang Xuan looked at Di Xin's profile, which was still pale after more than half a month of treatment, and warned with worry: "This operation is just a humble job. Your Highness has a distinguished status, so he can stay at Yanque Pass to command the overall situation."
