Emperor Long Xing's expression softened a little after he heard the words of the two dukes. "Then who do you think we can send as a general?”
"Long live, I believe that Duke Zhao has rich battlefield experience and can be a general!”An official of the Ministry of War reported.
On the other side, Duke of Zhao Jiang Xian was silent. He knew that Emperor Longxing would not send him as a general to further increase Jing Yuan's prestige.
Following that, the civil officials recommended the Duke of Zhao, the Duke of Yue, the Duke of Wu, etc. They were all from Jing Yuan's faction. Emperor Long Xing frowned.
Niu Jizong saw Emperor Long Xing's expression and knew that the time had come. He quickly went out to report," I recommend a person. This person has the courage that ten thousand men cannot match. He can be a general!”
Emperor Long Xing smiled." Are you talking about Jia Xuan, the commander of the Wei Establishment Guards? Jia Qing's house?”
"That's right!"
"Yes! This person was indeed brave, and he had gone through a battle with the Jurchen, so he had some experience.”
"Jia Xuan!" Emperor Long Xing smiled." How about it? Are you confident?”
"Although I am not certain of victory, I have the heart to protect my country. I swear I won't return to the court until I destroy the enemy!" Jia Xuan said firmly.
"Good! As expected of my son, Long!" Emperor Long Xing laughed.
"Pass down the imperial decree. Jia Xuan is loyal to the country and will be granted the title of North General. He will lead the prestige guards north to assist.”
"Minister Jia Xuan receives the decree to thank you!"
Because of the urgent military situation, Jia Xuan left the Imperial City and arrived at the Wei Wei camp overnight to reorganize the troops and make a declaration to the soldiers.
After everything was done, Jia Xuan returned to Rong Mansion. After all, he had to inform Grandmother Jia and the others about such a big matter.
Rong Qingtang said," Swords and spears have no eyes. It's better to be careful.”Although Grandmother Jia did not like Jia Xuan, he was still her grandson. He still warned.
"Although the battlefield is dangerous, we must not let our Rong Nation's legacy fall.”Jia She said arrogantly.
"Yes, sir! Xuan knows." But in his heart, he didn't think much of it. Jia She, that old silkpants, also had the face to talk about me? Why didn't he look in the mirror?
Madam Wang was happy. Although Jia Xuan did not participate in the struggle for the interests of Rong Guo Manor, it would be even better if he was not an eyesore in the manor, so that Baoyu would not be suppressed by him.
Coming out of Rongqing Hall, Jia Xuan did not return to his own courtyard. Instead, he went to Daiyu's courtyard. Zijuan was already waiting for him at the door. Now that Jia Xuan's expedition was imminent, Lin Daiyu couldn't care less about reason.
"Is Third Brother going out to fight?”Lin Daiyu asked worriedly, but her eyes were a little moist.
"Yu 'Er, don't worry! You still don't understand Third Brother's ability? Don't worry, I'll definitely come back safely to marry you!”Jia Xuan laughed.
"Nonsense! Since when did he joke like this? If you want to marry her, do you think I can't get married?”Lin Daiyu blushed when Jia Xuan said that, but her tears shrank back.
"Yu 'Er, don't worry." Jia Xuan advised.
"How can I be at ease? The battlefield was dangerous, and swords had no eyes. He had to be careful.”Lin Daiyu looked at Jia Xuan and said reluctantly.
"Yu 'Er, I won't talk to you anymore. The military situation is urgent.”After saying that, he turned around and left the house. Lin Daiyu was watching him off at the door.
"Young lady, it's late at night and the dew is heavy. Otherwise, Third Master would be worried if she fell sick. Third Master was going to the battlefield, so he couldn't be distracted.”Zi Juan advised.
Jia Xuan returned to his own room, fully armored. The black armor made Jia Xuan look even more extraordinary.
After leaving the Rong Mansion, he saw a group of young men waiting at the door. They were the founding descendants, Niu Liang, Han Tie, Han Gang, Liu Feng, and Xie Qing. On the side of Jing Yuan's meritorious officials, Zhao Yan, Qin Yi, Yang Yang, and the others had a total of more than ten people.
"Brothers, have you thought it through? I might not be able to come back." Jia Xuan cupped his fists at the yamen.
"Brother Xuan, what are you saying? Our sect has always been like this. When the father dies, the son goes out to battle, and when the brother dies, the brother wears armor. Although we are silkpants, we also know the principle of contributing to the country.”Niu Liang said loudly.
"Brother Bull is right. Although we are usually a bit of a silkpants, we are not careless when it comes to fighting on the battlefield.”Zhao Yan also said. This caused Jia Xuan's view of him to change a little.
"Good! Then let us brothers go and meet that red-headed ghost from Luosha Kingdom.”Jia Xuan said loudly. Then, he continued," However, the military situation is urgent. I'll have to trouble you all to serve in my personal army. We'll slowly arrange it in the future.”
"It's all up to the commander's arrangements!" The group of yamen bowed on their horses.
The sky was slightly bright, and all the troops of the Prestige Guards were neatly lined up in the drill ground. There were 30,000 horses and 70,000 infantry.
Soon, Emperor Longxing's carriage arrived. When he saw the orderly rows of soldiers on the drill ground, a murderous aura assaulted his face. He couldn't help but nod his head in satisfaction. This Jia Xuan had some skills.
"Long live, long live, long live!" The shouts of nearly a hundred thousand soldiers made Emperor Long Xing even more satisfied.
"Wansui, everything is ready. Shall we set off immediately?”Jia Xuan knelt down and saluted him.
"Let's go!" Emperor Long Xing nodded. He still had a lot of court affairs to deal with and couldn't stay here for too long.
Following Jia Xuan's order, the soldiers began to move slowly. Following their orderly steps, the army formation began to change. The order was clear and the formation was neat. It was obvious that they were elite troops.
Emperor Long Xing and the ministers who had followed him here had never seen such a neat army formation. They could not help but be dumbfounded. Emperor Long Xing was overjoyed. With such an army protecting him, what was there to be afraid of? However, he was afraid that Valiant Martial Manor Qin Liang would not be able to last until the reinforcements arrived. This was what Emperor Long Xing was most worried about.
From the Divine Capital to Hei Liao, it would take at least ten days. Because of the cold weather, it was even more difficult to walk.
North Sea Camp, Valiant Martial Manor Qin Liang was sitting in his tent, deep in thought. Now that Luosha Kingdom had invaded the border, they had 600,000 soldiers, while the North Sea Camp had 300,000 soldiers. Black Liao City had lost 50,000 soldiers. Now that there was a huge difference in strength between the two sides, the North Sea Camp was in danger. He could only hold on and wait for reinforcements, hoping that he could hold on until the reinforcements from the Imperial Court arrived. It didn't matter if he died in defeat, but he was afraid that the Qin family would end up being executed.
"Is there any news from the Imperial Court?"
"No." The bodyguard at the side replied.
"Where is the Luosha Kingdom's army?”Qin Liang asked.
"Replying to Lord Marquis, there are still thirty li."
Qin Liang thought to himself that it was now 250,000 against 600,000. The chances of winning were almost zero! Only by waiting for the reinforcements from the Imperial Court could the crisis of the North Sea Camp be resolved.
"Report!" The messenger's voice sounded.
"Come in." Qin Liang immediately stood up.
"Reporting, Great General, the Imperial Court's troops have already set off. They are headed for the North Sea under the lead of the North Guard General, Jia Xuan.”The messenger bowed and handed over the letter.
After Qin Liang finished reading the letter, he sat down and thought, Jia Xuan? The son of a concubine. He didn't expect another talent to appear in Rong Mansion.
The reinforcements from the Imperial Court would arrive in ten days. Qin Liang took the map and muttered to himself after a moment," With the current situation on both sides, it's impossible to safely defend for ten days. He could only take the initiative to attack and disrupt their march to stall for time.”
At the thought of this, he said," Men, gather 30,000 cavalrymen and follow me to meet that little bastard from Luosha Kingdom.”Qin Liang shouted.
Not mentioning Qin Liang, just Jia Xuan, after walking in the day and hiding in the night for nine days, arrived at a place less than 50 miles away from the North Sea Camp. After setting up camp, Jia Xuan gathered his generals.
"I have decided to rush to the North Sea Camp overnight. I don't know how tragic the situation there has developed. Therefore, I will lead 30,000 cavalrymen first, and you will lead 70,000 infantry to arrive in the morning. Then, you will tell the commanders of the 10th army," Please, everyone."”
Along the way, there were about 100,000 local troops. However, they were all infantry, and their discipline was lax. It was obvious that they were a motley crew. In order not to delay the journey, Jia Xuan told them to follow. At this time, there was at least a two-day journey between the two armies. In this era where walking was entirely dependent on legs, it was already very rare for Jia Xuan to be able to lead 100,000 people to their destination in nine days.
"I wish the general victory and success.”The seven generals of the Prestige Guard bowed.
It was because on this journey, Niu Liang and Zhao Yan had already been arranged to be the captains of the hundred-man team, and the original captains had been transferred to Jia Xuan's personal troops. Both parties were happy with this arrangement. Because of Jia Xuan's personal guards. Any one of them would be a lieutenant no matter where they went.
At this moment, the North Sea Camp was completely surrounded. The situation was not very good. After several days of fighting, both sides had suffered heavy losses. Currently, there were less than 50,000 soldiers in the camp who could fight. The rest were all injured soldiers, about 100,000 of them. Moreover, corpses were still being carried out every day. In other words, the North Sea Camp had lost 100,000 soldiers in the past nine days. And Luosha Kingdom's army was less than 500,000. There were at most 450,000 people who could fight.
"It seems that we can't hold on any longer and can only die for our country. On account of our deaths, I hope that Wansui won't implicate our families.”Kinra said dispiritedly.
The generals in the tent all had ugly expressions." Lord Marquis, you can't blame us for this. With such a huge disparity in strength, no one can win.”A burly man with injuries on his body said.
"Wansui doesn't think so. He only knows that we didn't manage to defend our territory. However, I don't think His Majesty is a harsh and ungrateful ruler. I was overthinking.”Qin Liang continued," The last battle tomorrow. It's also the day we die for our country. Even if we die, we'll bite off a mouthful of Rakshasa's flesh to drink our victory!”Qin Liang said boldly.
At that moment, Jia Xuan arrived near the North Sea Camp. Seeing that the camp had not been taken down, he could not help but let out a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know what the situation in the camp was like, it must have been extremely tragic.
At this moment, the North Sea Camp was surrounded by military camps, so tightly that not even water could leak out. From time to time, patrolling cavalrymen appeared. From the number of military tents, Jia Xuan could roughly guess the number of Luosha Kingdom's military forces. It was about 400,000 to 500,000.
And he only had thirty thousand cavalry, so it was impossible to attack forcefully. Jia Xuan sent out scouts to find out the enemy's provisions and baggage, planning to take the opportunity to burn their provisions and use the same trick.
At dawn, when people were the most tired and their vigilance was the lowest, Jia Xuan led 30,000 troops and charged into the Russian camp. Killing people while setting fires, many Russians died in their sleep.
Because the sky was too dark, they did not know how many enemies were coming, causing the Luosha people to turn pale with fright. The camp exploded. It was chaotic all of a sudden. Who knew how many people had died at the hands of their own people.
Jia Xuan led his men and horses as they passed through like arrows. When he arrived at the place where the provisions were stored, he threw the torch in his hand over without hesitation. Because the weather was dry, the fire quickly intensified.
After igniting the fire, Jia Xuan led the army horse and charged back. This was the decision Jia Xuan made quickly to expand the results of the battle after seeing the enemy blow up the camp. Jia Xuan was like an arrowhead, and the military horses behind him were like arrow feathers. Wherever they passed, blood flowed like a river.
Many Rakshasas who didn't know what was going on were killed by their own people. This was the terror of the ancient camp explosion.
The Russian army was led by Grand Duke Peter, who was awakened from his sleep. "What happened?"
"The Han reinforcements have arrived. There is a battle ahead."
"How many reinforcements did the Han Imperial Court send?”asked Grand Duke Peter.
"The sky is too dark. I can't see how many there are. Grand Duke, it's better for you to avoid it." Peter's servant said.
"Not good! There were too many enemies and our granary was burned.”A soldier came in to report.
"Damn it! This Han is too cunning." This was the sound of fighting outside getting closer and closer.
"Let's go! Aren't you in a hurry, Grand Duke?" As he spoke, he carried Peter and ran, followed by his guards.
In the North Sea Camp, Qin Liang was awakened by a series of shouts. He thought it was the Russians who had attacked, so he grabbed his weapon and walked out.
"Report!" At this moment, the messenger's voice sounded.
Qin Liang directly walked out of the commander's tent and asked,"”
"The Luosha Kingdom's military camp was attacked because it was dark. The specific situation over there was still unknown.”the messenger replied.
Qin Liang was overjoyed. The reinforcements must have arrived. At this moment, the generals of the North Sea also came to Qin Liang's side." Great General, the reinforcements from the Imperial Court have arrived!”Their faces were also filled with joy. If they could not die, who would be willing to die!
