Inside the Golden Castle, the Governor's Palace. Shengyun, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, was like an ant on a hot pot, anxious. In the blink of an eye, the Imperial Army had hit the city of Jincheng, which put him under great pressure. Once Jincheng was taken by the Imperial Army, then he, the former governor of the dynasty who rebelled against the empire, would definitely have only one way to die. The best ending is to give a white silk or 10,000 poisonous wine, once the empire decides to use him as an example, then what awaits him is probably the torture of five horses or Ling Chi.

"What to do? What to do? If I had known, I should not have rebelled against the Empire. In that case, we won't end up where we are now. If I surrender to the Empire, will the Empire be lightened and bypass me? Seung Yoon thought secretly. Although, the Northwest is barren. But as the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, he still has enough oil and water. Even if he loses his official position, he will be able to live the rest of his life comfortably.

It's a pity that he can't bear the power in his hands. So when the ultimatum of the empire was issued, he chose to continue to confront the empire. However, the rapid defeat of the Green Camp in Gan Province made him feel a great threat. If you don't do it, Jincheng will soon fall.

"My lord, things are not yet at their most critical. Although the Imperial Army is strong, Jincheng, as the provincial capital of Gan Province, is not so easy to conquer. We still have more than 20,000 people in the city. The imperial cavalry outside the city was only more than 20,000 people. Gan Provincial Governor Zhang Dong said.

"Longcheng, Longzhong, Longdong and Liangcheng were all easily captured by them. The Imperial cavalry carried dozens of cannons, which were not so easy to deal with. Seungyoon shook his head. Now he felt that he had reached the point of exhaustion.

"My lord, we have sent people to ask for help from other local forces. If we were defeated, they would be left against the Imperial Army. I believe that people from other local forces will not be so short-sighted. They will definitely join us against the Imperial Army. There are still 100,000 fierce cavalry from other local powers, if they are willing to strike. There must still be a chance to turn the tables around. Zhang Dong said.

Seungyoon groaned for a moment and nodded. If other local forces are willing to intervene, there may be a turnaround. However, if other local forces stand by and watch, then they may really be doomed.

The Imperial cavalry only surrounded Jincheng and did not launch an attack on Jincheng. This made both Shengyun and Zhang Dong breathe a sigh of relief. However, the two did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and demanded that the green battalion soldiers in the city should resist the attack of the imperial cavalry no matter what. As long as you can persevere, there may be a turnaround.

The local forces in the northwest mainly include other tribal forces outside the provincial capital of Gan Province. These tribes were armed, led by the Niu family. Niu Renliang is now the leader of these tribal forces. A total of thirty-eight local tribes were armed, and after being integrated, more than 100,000 people, collectively known as the Northwest Alliance.

It was fortunate for Seung Yoon, Zhang Dong and others. The turnaround was not long in coming. On May 26, the Northwest Alliance sent them the news. The army of the Northwest Alliance is gathering and preparing to send 50,000 troops to attack the imperial cavalry outside Jincheng. The Northwest Alliance hoped that Shengyun and Zhang Dong would be able to hold Jincheng and contain a part of the imperial cavalry. After the Northwest Alliance was dispatched, it was more able to cooperate with the inside and outside and defeat the Imperial cavalry in one fell swoop.

The Northwest Alliance is ready to make a move, which undoubtedly gives Shengyun and Zhang Dong a glimmer of hope. They immediately replied to the Northwest Alliance, and they would do their best to hold Jincheng. As long as the Northwest Alliance can defeat the Imperial cavalry outside the city. They will cooperate with the actions of the Northwest Alliance.

It can be said that Shengyun and Zhang Dong have completely placed their hopes on the Northwest Alliance. The Imperial cavalry was too strong. It was so strong that Shengyun and Zhang Dong had no power to resist at all, and they could only rely on the strength of the Northwest Alliance. If the Northwest Alliance is not the opponent of the Imperial cavalry, then they may have no other way than to surrender in Kaesong.

On May 27, the Northwest Alliance began its march towards Jincheng. Jincheng is only a few dozen kilometers away from Shuizhou, the old nest of the Northwest Alliance. At the speed of cavalry. It will be there in two or three hours. However, in order to preserve the physical strength of the horses and soldiers, the Northwest Alliance marched slowly. Once the war began, the cavalry had to charge quickly. Niu Renliang knows, on weapons and equipment. They certainly can't compare to the Imperial cavalry. The only thing they can rely on is their superiority in strength.

Although, the cavalry of the Northwest Alliance was raised from the bottom on horseback and was skilled in riding. But more than half of the Imperial cavalry were Mongols. The cavalry of the Mongols was also no worse than the cavalry of the Northwest Alliance.

As soon as the Northwest Alliance began its march on Jincheng, the Imperial cavalry sprang into action. The 1st and 14th Cavalry Brigades left Jincheng and turned south, preparing to block the North-Western Alliance. Or to prepare to defeat the Northwest Alliance in one battle, so that all their main forces remain here. The siege of Jincheng was entrusted to the 15th Cavalry Brigade. Even though the 15th Cavalry Brigade only has more than 8,000 people, compared with the Green Battalion of Gan Province in the city, the gap in strength is very large. But even though the Green Battalion of Gan Province had an absolute superiority in troops, they did not dare to leave the city at all.

All Shengyun and Zhang Dong could do was wait for the outcome of the battle between the Northwest Alliance and the Imperial Cavalry. If the Northwest Alliance can win, then their crisis will be resolved, and if the Northwest Alliance fails, then Jincheng will obviously not be able to hold it. And they will definitely not be able to resist stubbornly. Otherwise, the end will undoubtedly be very tragic.

Gaolan Mountain, located in the south of Jincheng City, is not far from the Yellow River. This is the commanding height of this area, and the Imperial cavalry also intends to build fortifications with Gaolan Mountain as the center to resist the attack of the Northwest Alliance. Imperial cavalry is not cavalry in the pure sense of the word. More like infantry on horseback. The Imperial cavalry does not attack as soon as it comes up, like other traditional cavalry. Instead, they choose to use the superior weapons and equipment in their hands to inflict maximum damage on the enemy. Wait until you have killed and wounded the enemy to the maximum extent before attacking.

The 14th Cavalry Brigade was stationed at Gaolan Mountain, and the artillery battalions of the 1st Cavalry Brigade and the 14th Cavalry Brigade were deployed halfway up the mountain. Here you can condescend and launch a fierce artillery attack directly on the invading enemy. The 1st Cavalry Brigade was deployed at the foot of the hill and waited for the Northwest Alliance to attack.

If the Northwest Alliance wants to relieve the siege of Jincheng, it must defeat the Imperial cavalry. Otherwise, even if they bypassed Gaolan Mountain and marched towards Jincheng, the rear would be seriously threatened by the Imperial cavalry. Therefore, the Northwest Alliance had no choice but to take the initiative to attack. The Imperial Cavalry, on the other hand, was able to use this as a barrier and slaughter the Northwest Alliance with powerful weapons in their hands.

On the morning of May 28, the Northwest Alliance arrived at Gaolan Mountain. Stopped less than five kilometers from Gaolan Mountain. Seeing the imperial cavalry deployed at the foot of the mountain, Niu Renliang couldn't help but laugh.

"Is this the Imperial Army? What is the Imperial cavalry with a great reputation like? Are they cavalry or infantry? Niu Renliang laughed. The Imperial cavalry actually learned infantry and defended, which was completely unexpected by him. You must know that cavalry is an offensive type of troops, and speed is the biggest weapon of cavalry. Once the cavalry gave up the war horse and learned the infantry to defend, it was undoubtedly the initiative to abandon the cavalry's most powerful weapon.

Originally, Niu Renliang was still a little wary of the imperial cavalry in his heart. But now, he doesn't have the slightest vigilance. There is all of deep contempt. In his opinion, the prestige of the imperial cavalry is definitely blown out. Is such a timid army worthy of being called one of the most powerful armies in the world? If this is really the case, then isn't the cavalry of the Northwest Alliance the first in the world?

The other generals of the Northwest Alliance also had smiles on their faces, and the hearts that had been hanging in their throats were finally able to be put down. After all, the Imperial cavalry seems to be a little unbearable! In this case, he will be much more relieved.

"Prepare to attack, let the empire know how powerful we are, and let them know that the northwest is ours, even if it is the empire, don't want to get involved." A hint of determination flashed on Niu Renliang's face.

"Hmmm! After we defeat this Imperial Army, the Empire will definitely give up recovering the Northwest by force. When the time comes, it's our chance. Another general of the Northwest Alliance nodded.

That's what their parents did. After defeating the Qing army, he then accepted Zhao'an, which eventually led to the rise of the Northwest Alliance. Now, they also want to follow their father's example. Defeat the Imperial Army head-on and let the Empire know what they're capable of. Then, force the Empire to recognize them as the de facto masters of the Northwest, and only nominally submit to the Empire.

At the foot of Gaolan Mountain, the 1st and 14th Brigades of the Imperial Cavalry were ready for battle. More than 10,000 cavalry, the 1st brigade was located on the front. And the 14th Brigade held the flanks. In front of the queue, there were light and heavy machine-gun and mortar positions of the Imperial cavalry. Should the Northwest Alliance attack, they will be greeted by a ferocious firepower from the Empire. Although the cavalry of the Northwest Alliance is not familiar with the combat effectiveness, if they want to resist the dense firepower of the Imperial cavalry, it is undoubtedly self-defeating.

"Come on, let these barbarians in the northwest know how powerful we are." Major General Zou Fang had a hideous smile on the corner of his mouth. He believed that soon Gaolan Mountain would become a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. These Northwest Alliances will use their blood to stain the land here red.

The Imperial Cavalry was fully prepared, with the 1st Cavalry Brigade and the 14th Cavalry Brigade confronting the Northwest Confederate head-on, while the 6th Cavalry Brigade and the 7th Cavalry Brigade had begun to approach the battlefield in a roundabout and covert way. After the main force of the Northwest Alliance is eliminated, they will launch an attack on the flank of the Northwest Alliance, leaving all the 50,000 Northwest Alliance here.

As long as the 50,000 Northwest Alliance troops are eaten, the Northwest Alliance will be finished. The remaining miscellaneous troops are not to be worried.

"Attack! Sons, let the Imperial Cavalry see who is the real cavalry and who is the master of the Northwest! ”

At half past eight in the morning, Niu Renliang gave the order to attack. (To be continued......)
