Chapter XI
The Imperial City.
Zhengyang Palace.
Within the side hall, the Chu Emperor was currently dealing with memorials.
A eunuch walked in and reported,"
"Your Majesty, State Duke Ying requests an audience with Your Majesty!”
Pa da---
He put down the red pen in his hand.
The Chu Emperor raised his head.
"Let him in. Zhen knows what that old fellow wants to do, but Zhen has not seen him for a long time! Big companion, get the imperial kitchen to prepare a few dishes that go with wine and bring over my treasured wine!”
Hearing the Chu Emperor's words.
The head eunuch helplessly replied,"
"Here!"
Very quickly.
The old man entered and saw the Chu Emperor.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
He stood up from the dragon throne.
The Chu Emperor directly walked down.
"No need to be polite, no need to be polite. Every time you see me, as long as you are polite, nothing good will happen to you…Don't be in a hurry to say it, it's not too late to drink with me first! Come, come, come…"
She pulled the old man enthusiastically.
The two old men who were over seventy years old seemed to have no difference between monarch and minister at this moment!
However, this was very normal.
After all, when the old man and the Chu Emperor were young, they had shared life and death together, and their relationship had always been very good!
Although Ning Mo also felt that the old man's status was very honorable, he was still very proud of his father.
But…
He still did not know enough about the level of friendship between people in this era!
This was normal.
After all, before he transmigrated, although the society was very good, there was not much humanity.
After three rounds of wine.
The old man said casually,"
"This old man has brought a gift for Your Majesty. This is a book on training soldiers written by my disciple, Wei Ningbo, Ning Mo. Your Majesty, please take a look and mention a name!”
As they spoke.
The old man then passed the bamboo slips he had brought to the Chu Emperor.
He didn't care.
The Chu Emperor picked it up and looked at it.
" Come, come, come. Let's see how good your favorite disciple is…"
After two cups of tea.
The Chu Emperor pinched his chin.
"Interesting! A talent…In my opinion, this method of training soldiers is desirable. Since it was made by your disciple, let's call it the Ning Family Military Book. What do you think?”
The old man nodded."
"Just call it that…I'm sure Your Majesty can't think of a better name.”
He glared.
The Chu Emperor glared at the old man angrily.
"Old man, are you mocking me for being uncultured?”
Then, the old man was not afraid at all.
He only said,
"Your Majesty, this time, the Tartars are holding us back. I want to ask for an imperial edict from Your Majesty on behalf of Mo 'er.”
They ate the dishes with wine.
The Chu Emperor said casually,
"I don't need you to tell me. I know how to command him. He has the courage to defeat tens of thousands of men, and he is outstanding in leading cavalry in battle. Now that the Tartars have seized the pass, how can I let him stay in the rear?”
He shook his head.
The old man directly told him Ning Mo's thoughts, and the Chu Emperor fell silent.
War.
It was about overall cooperation.
But now, Ning Mo wanted to be independent and fight guerrilla warfare alone.
This required careful consideration.
What was guerrilla warfare? With the old master and the Chu Emperor being veteran military experts, they could understand it with just a little thought. They also knew that this kind of tactic was only suitable for cavalry to execute. After all, cavalry was very mobile!
After a long time.
The Chu Emperor looked at the old man.
"Old fool, do you think that disciple of yours can do it?”
He took a sip of the wine.
The old man pondered for a moment and said,
"Your Majesty, please give me a chance!"
He looked at the old man speechlessly.
The Chu Emperor finally decided.
"Good! Give him a chance…I'll make it clear in advance that I believe in your foresight, not that little brat, understand?”
The old man nodded.
Then, he smiled subtly and said,
"Cough cough cough…if it is convenient for Your Majesty, why don't you give Mo 'er's Valiant Cavalry Battalion a new title? I've thought of a name for Your Majesty. It'll be called the Great Chu Black Cavalry. How about it?”
The Chu Emperor:
"I thank you…"
Not long after.
The old man left the Imperial City happily with an imperial edict and headed towards Ning Mo's Wei Ning Manor.
……
In another month.
The Tartars finally gathered 600,000 troops, which was called a million troops, and officially went south. The West Chu, which had been in a state of preparation after receiving the news, also set off.
Departing from the Imperial Capital-
40,000 cavalrymen, 100,000 infantry, and the armies of the various prefectures and military camps would also join in. Facing the 600,000 troops of the Tartars, the West Chu also sent 500,000 troops to the border to fight.
As the army advanced.
Rumble!
Ning Mo was riding on the white dragon. The Great Xia Dragonfinch Blade and the Overlord Spear were hanging on the saddle. A cavalryman beside him was holding a black-red dragon flag.
Behind him.
The 10,000 cavalrymen under his command were all wearing pitch-black battle armor and pitch-black cloaks. They silently followed Ning Mo and marched forward.
The other troops,
When they felt the pressure brought by the Great Chu's black cavalry, they were also affected. They silently followed the main group. They only heard the sound of horse hooves and footsteps, but there was not even the sound of discussion.
Half a month later.
Before we reach the border,
Ning Mo led his 10,000 Great Chu Black Cavalry and left the main group silently. They bypassed the border cities and entered the grasslands.
……
On the grassland.
Beside a river, Ning Mo was resting with the Great Chu Black Knights.
Not long after.
Da da--
A scout rode over.
She walked up to Ning Mo and said,"
"General, we've discovered a Tartar grain troop thirty miles ahead!”
Swoosh!
Ning Mo's eyes lit up.
He directly asked,
"How many people are there in the army?”
The scout replied,"
"General, there are not many of them, about five to six thousand cavalrymen!”
The Tartar army consisted mostly of cavalry.
Sieges might not be very effective, but on the grasslands, the role of cavalry could be said to be the greatest. That was why the West Chu had never been able to solve the problem of the Tartars and had always been restrained!
"Mount up!"
Ning Mo's expression was serious."
"All troops, attack! This was my first battle on the prairie, my first achievement. How could I let them escape so easily?”
After hearing Ning Mo's words, she said,
The three Zhao brothers and the two Commanders all acknowledged the order.
The order was quickly passed down.
Rumble!
Soon, the 10,000 elite Black Knights swept forward like a black tornado.
Thirty miles was neither far nor near.
In addition, the enemy's grain troops were in a mobile state.
Hence, when Ning Mo found this army, it was already an hour later.
The cavalrymen's charge was very loud.
Thus, when Ning Mo led his troops to attack and entered a certain range, the Tartar army discovered their presence.
"Enemy attack!"
The Tartar general shouted,"
"It's the West Chu cavalry! Everyone, prepare for battle!"
Rumble!
Very quickly,
The thousands of cavalry of the Tartar grain transport troops gathered.
They were prepared to face the oncoming West Chu cavalry.
They weren't prepared to escape. Firstly, the provisions behind them were very important. Secondly, the cavalry station was very important. The Tartars were powerful, while the West Chu cavalry was just average!
Therefore, there was no need to escape.
Rumble!
The sound of tens of thousands of warhorses galloping was absolutely earth-shattering.
When the Tartar cavalry also charged, the momentum was even greater.
The two sides continued to approach each other.
When the Tartar general saw the black mass of Great Chu's black cavalry charging at him, he immediately felt a terrifying killing intent coming at him, making it difficult for him to breathe.
His pupils constricted.
"When did the West Chu cavalry have such power?”
Riding on the White Dragon Horse.
Ning Mo was wearing a silver armor and a white cloak that was completely different from the Black Knights. He held the Overlord Spear in his hand and charged without saying a word.
Behind him.
The 10,000 Black Knights also did not say a word. However, their eyes were filled with a strong fighting spirit, especially the 3,000 elite soldiers who followed behind Ning Mo and acted as the vanguard!
In just a moment,
Both sides rushed forward.
Hiss hiss hiss
The white dragon beneath Ning Mo let out a cry and suddenly burst out with a terrifying explosive force. It charged out like a white beam of light and finally leaped up, instantly breaking through the enemy cavalry formation.
Clang--
The Overlord Spear shot out like a dragon and instantly pierced through the head of the general who was rushing at the front. White and red instantly flew everywhere.
Breaking the formation in one strike.
Ning Mo's face was filled with killing intent."
"Kill them!"
Rumble!
The two sides collided violently.
Ten minutes later, in just one charge, the thousands of cavalry of the Tartar grain transport troops were completely slaughtered. Facing the Black Knights led by Ning Mo, they did not cause any waves at all!
After the charge.
Ning Mo glanced at the large amount of rations.
He immediately issued an order.
"Pass down my order, resupply on the spot! He counted the number of enemies he had killed and sent the battle report to the central army and the imperial court using the eagle!”
Hearing Ning Mo's words.
The three Zhao brothers and the two Commanders nodded and went to deliver the order.
Very quickly.
The two professionally trained eagles carried two battle reports and flew in two different directions.
Ning Mo's cavalry.
Although he had left the Imperial Capital with the main army, in reality, the imperial edict the Chu Emperor had given him said that he was also the commander of the expedition, so his battle report could be directly reported to the Imperial Court.
Of course.
Although this power was great,
They had exchanged it for the imperial court not bearing the burden of their provisions on the grasslands!
It was equivalent to…
Ning Mo's troops were the ones behind the enemy lines that would not receive any support.
As for sending a letter to the central army.
He was only giving the central army information to let them understand the situation in the Tartar Empire and make a reasonable response!
