On a snowy night, there was a rustling of snow outside the tent, and the cold wind blew through the tent with a whistling and sharp sound, and a brazier was lit in the tent, and the bright fire shone on Rui Tangtingna's pretty face as white as jade.

The pressure of depression in the big tent is like the cold wind outside, which makes people a little breathless, and the ten royal court guards wearing heavy armor are like pillars in the wind and snow, standing motionless outside the tent door, and the faint light projected from the tent shines on the lock plate velvet armor ribbon on their bodies, no one dares to look back, but Her Royal Highness the princess with an angry voice, still very penetrating and clear from inside, the guards secretly glanced at each other, and a trace of inexplicable heaviness flashed on their faces at the same time,

"What the hell is going on here?" Inside the big tent, Rui Tang Tingna, the princess of the Eastern Court, swept her confused gaze over the guilty confidant Wu Mu below, and said with an indignant expression, "Didn't you let you be responsible for protecting Su Kebaa? Why did he still suffer such a serious arrow wound!" Although I have sent someone to the grassland to invite the best herbalist Elder Wu Siba, the grassland is at least three days away from here, and such a round trip is six days.

"It's a dereliction of duty on the part of his subordinates, and I ask Her Royal Highness the princess to punish her heavily!" Below her, the general of the Eastern Garden, who was carrying two scimitars, was half-kneeling on the cold ground, and his expression was a little pale.

Rui Tang Tingna's voice stopped, and she continued with annoyance on her face, "Do you know how bad the impact of this incident is on us? If Su Ke Baa was wounded on the battlefield, it was the hero of our East Court, but he was secretly shot by someone on the march, this is murder, no one knows whether Su Ke Baa can hold out until the arrival of Elder Wu Siba, this battle, Su Ke can be said to be fully supporting the royal court, and serving as a surprise striker in the battle. Although the victory was achieved, most of the Sukh cavalry were killed.

Now that this has happened again, if there is no explanation, how can you let me go back to the steppe again and face the Sukh people who have suffered a heavy blow once. Or do you want me to show all the Dongting tribes that the dignified royal court can't even protect a vassal patriarch!

"This matter is indeed the poor protection of the subordinates, and please ask Her Royal Highness the princess to punish him heavily, no matter how Her Royal Highness the princess punishes, the subordinates will never dare to complain" Under Rui Tang Tingna's series of questions, the general of the East Garden, Wu Mu, was covered with beads of sweat on his head, and he lay on the ground with a dead face" This incident is indeed too unexpected.

Just three days ago, Sukebaa, the leader of Sukebaa, who served as the vanguard in the border battle, was ambushed during the march, because it was dark at that time, and it was a snowy night, and the blurred wind and snow blocked everyone's vision, even his subordinates did not see who shot the arrow cluster, but only roughly thought that the arrow cluster should come from the rear of Sukebaa,

In fact, the cluster of arrows stuck in Sukbaa's back also proves this. Sukbaa was immediately sent to the camp for treatment, but because the cluster of arrows had pierced his left lung, we were now able to alleviate his pain with the most old ice wounds

Rui Tang Tingna listened to the story of the woods with a look of regret. Looking at the gray hair that had begun to turn gray when he was only forty years old, he couldn't help but feel a trace of unbearability in his heart,

This is a famous general who was once the same era as his father, and it is also a rare general talent in the East Court, at the end of the East Court, in the face of the East Court that is about to fall apart, he alone provoked the leaderless beams of the dragons, and the most commendable thing is that he is loyal to the royal court, even if he is in power. There is not the slightest place to offend the royal court,...,

Although in the end, because he was the commander of the Eastern Court in the battle of the defeat of the Eastern Court, he had an unshirkable responsibility for the defeat of the Eastern Court, but in today's mainland, who dares to say that he can defeat the Vechia Falcon without defeat, even the southern Ruode people who once had hundreds of thousands of mercenaries are just as difficult to resist the Falcon's soldiers. In just half a year, the Falcon army was beaten to death and the country was destroyed, not to mention the strength of the East Garden, where the hearts of the tribes were disheartened.

If the various departments of the Eastern Court at that time were still as united as they were during the reign of his father, instead of watching from the sidelines, how could the battle of Zì Tulun lead to the lack of troops, and the vassal armies of the Northern Land had to be mobilized to participate in the battle, and as a result, the people of the Northern Land turned against each other, completely ending the hope of the Eastern Court Kingdom

"Or maybe this is the arrangement of fate" I don't know why, Rui Tang Tingna felt a little cold in her heart, whether it was the loss of control of the various departments, or the attack of Sukebaa, who was loyal to the royal court, this qiē was not something that would happen sooner or later! As long as there are people with ambitions, the eyes of these conspirators will never stop"

Feeling that her anger was a little excessive, she waved her hand to the ashamed Umu and said, "Get up, the dark arrow from behind is the most difficult to guard against, the attack on Sukebaa is likely to be just the beginning of this crisis, in this frozen land, you are the only subordinate I can fully rely on now,

Presumably you also know that it has not been a day or two for someone to attack the royal court, and they dare not touch me for the time being, but a vassal of the royal court like the Sukh clan does not need to have much scruples, otherwise they would not have attacked and killed Sukebaa so fearlessly! Because they know that we need them to complete this revenge, and the power of the royal court can no longer suppress them!"

"Her Royal Highness the Princess can have such an awareness, it is really my Dongting luck" Wu Mu raised his head excitedly, looked at Rui Tang Tingna with burning eyes, took a deep breath, and said with a solemn expression. I am a martial artist, I don't know how to say some things, but some circumstances are enough to show that Her Royal Highness the princess is right, as the liaison officer sent by the princess to the various tribes, the subordinates have already felt that this time the north is revenge, and the tribes are actually secretly thinking differently, since breaking through the northern border, there are few people who are still marching according to the previously agreed plan,

Originally, it only took 5 days to reach the city of Hulan Bei, but now it has been 4 days, and Her Royal Highness the princess can see a few tribes who have come here to assemble.

Wumu's voice stopped, and he said with an indignant expression, "It really makes the subordinates embarrassed, although the subordinates nominally serve as liaison officers between the royal court and the various ministries, but in fact, from breaking through the northern defense line to entering the Hulanbei area, the troops of the northland people have not even seen a single figure, but there is constant small friction between the tribes in order to grab the ownership of the spoils.

"Because of the clan fighting, the lives of more than 200 warriors of the Eastern Court have been lost in vain! Or as His Highness said, the clans have lost their fear of the royal court. (Read the novel to the leaves・Yo~Yo.YZuU.) It's just like it was decades ago!" Wu Mu's face was full of melancholy, for the famous generals who had seen the glory of the East Garden, for the current situation similar to the split

"These abominable fellows! If I hadn't heard you say that, I'd have thought they were marching according to plan!" Ritatina heard that the Ministries were still on the edge. I couldn't help but tighten my eyebrows into a Sichuan character in the center of my eyebrows, and my pink fist hit the pillar of the tent hard

The corner of Wumu's mouth smiled bitterly and said, "Hehe, now the only ones who are really ordered to drive in the direction of Hulanbei may only be the five thousand wolf guards of Her Royal Highness the princess and a few vassal tribes, the total number is only less than 10,000, and the other tribes are still wandering around the edge of Hulanbei, and now there are villages and towns there." And they will pull out there,...,

In the eyes of the patriarchs of all clans, there is only plunder of the spoils, and other words of revenge have long been forgotten.

After all, in Tulum at the beginning, it was the royal court's troops who suffered losses, and for them it was just some insignificant losses! Grab a lot in the central area of Hulanbei, and then sit back and wait for the Vekia Falcon to conquer Hulanbei, and then make a big profit. And then return unscathed, that's what most of the patriarchs think!"

"These guys can really think about it, but they don't know. Eating the cheap of Vekia Falcon is the most painful thing in the world!" Rui Tangtingna suddenly showed a sneer at the corner of her mouth, took a deep breath of cold air and said, "Fortunately, I have been prepared for a long time, and the route of our advance is close to the direction of the southeast headland, the Falcon Army has already landed on the southeast headland, with this strategic fulcrum, even if we are cut off from the back road, we will not fall into a shortage of food!"

"Does Your Highness mean that the Northlanders may adopt a strategy of cutting off our army's logistical supply lines? If this is the case, then the departments are not ......" The corners of the Wumu eyebrows twitched slightly, and he said with some words to stop.

"It's not a possibility, it's a certainty!" Rui Tang Tingna's expression was grim. Looking at the blazing bonfire in the center of the big tent, he said, "Actually, if the various departments are encircled according to the plan, the Asou Russians will not have a chance to bypass it, but it is a pity that they really do as you said, in order to plunder the spoils of war, they do not hesitate to ignore the battle plan, that is to kill themselves."

They forget that the Northlanders are the true masters of this wasteland. And we are just intruders, for the adaptation of the climate and the familiarity of the terrain, the northerners living here have a unique advantage, the advantage of our east court is the impact and speed, if in a short period of time strong advance, quick victory, or can strangle the northerners of this advantage, force it to fight a decisive battle with our army under the city of Hulanbei, and then rely on the advantage of our cavalry cluster to level Hulanbei in one fell swoop,

But once dragged into a protracted war, the Northland is cold and cruel, and the logistics supply is even more difficult to sustain, and now this situation of scattered friction between various departments and fighting their own battles, is not the delay trap that the Northlanders have long designed to attack their weak brigades with a few elites, and then lead them to collapse on the whole front, in Tulum, isn't that what they did!"

"Then we ......" Hearing Rui Tangtingna's analysis, the face of the Eastern Courtyard army Wumu also changed, and he hesitated to ask us if we want to remind the patriarchs of the various tribes to pay attention to the counterattack of the Northlanders.

Rui Tang Tingna shook her head slightly, and said, "I'm afraid it's too late, the fire is dry, and it is about to start, if you don't know the initiative at this moment, Asu Russia is not worthy of being called the Northland Hero! Before the chaos, we must first save ourselves and order our people to stick to the place! As long as Asu Russia is not a fool, it will definitely not waste its main energy on us who still have tens of thousands of elites in front of such an excellent fighter, and as for those who are greedy for money, they can only ask for the blessing of immortality."

Rui Tang Tingna picked up a firewood stick and threw it into the roaring fire in front of her, the firewood was quickly ignited in the fire, making a crackling sound, and a wisp of red sparks exploded and scattered

Just as Rui Tang Tingna said this, in the capital of Beisu, sixty miles away from Hulan Beicheng, under the light of torches, the black-pressed Dongting cavalry was rushing towards the gap in the city wall.

This is the second largest city in the Hulanbei region, the Beisu people with a population of 70,000 live here, as the largest tribe in the Hulanbei region second only to the Asu Russian department, the walls of the Beisu capital are built with hard granite in the cold north of the country, the tall city walls are covered in thick hoarfrost, and it looks like a hoarfrost city from a distance, so the Besu capital city is called "hoarfrost city" again...,

A day ago. The fifteen thousand Dongting cavalry, known as the Eastern Court Western Army, burned and looted all the way to Beisudu, looking at the rare big city in front of him, a trace of excitement flashed in the eyes of Bo Casli, the leader of the Western Army. Along the way, they always ran into some villages and small towns, which had long made the fierce Western Army patriarchs feel impatient, and they finally saw a real city, and they all began to get excited

"Rush in, this city is yours!" Bocasli shouted with his arms raised as he lined up the Eastern Court cavalry below. With an order to attack, the five thousand Dongting troops of the Western Army stormed from the southeast side of the city, and from the top of the city, bright torches were all over the wilderness in front of the city, and the Dongting soldiers with scimitars in their mouths followed the hooks thrown out, like ants clinging to the city wall.

The Besu defenders on the city walls put up a stubborn resistance. Arrows flew sideways, rolling stones fell like hailstones, and the cavalry of the Eastern Court dismounted and fought on foot. Holding a small round shield of cavalry, he climbed towards the city wall, and from time to time someone screamed and was smashed down from the wall

The patriarchs of the various clans of the Western Army who watched the battle had lost their smiles, since the border battle, there had been few such fierce battles, and the villages and towns encountered in front of them were almost without resistance, and this time, the tenacity of the other party made many of the patriarchs who were still elated just now suddenly feel like a knife.

The troops that charged ahead were the warriors of the clan, facing the towering walls. They could only choose to give up the advantage of their horses, and always climbed and fought against the infantry, and the patriarchs had expected that the bows and arrows at the head of the city would be fierce, but they did not expect that they would be so fierce! It is almost impossible to conquer in a short time.

Fast horses kept coming from the front, bringing with them the message of the armies of all tribes, "Lord Bocasley." The Patriarch of Ansusk reported that the enemy's bows and arrows were too sharp! The forward death squad suffered too many casualties, and asked for a temporary dispersal!"

"No!" Bokasli said categorically with a solemn expression, "Since it is a death squad, how can there be a reason to withdraw, tell Sù Anssuke, as the vanguard of the attacking force, you must continue to advance, even if you fight to the last soldier! If Ansu dares to take a step back, I will ask for his head!"

Seeing that the plain and gentle and polite Bocasli was so stubborn at the moment, the patriarchs behind couldn't help but look at each other, as if they noticed the strangeness behind him, Bocasli turned around and said with a sharp look in his eyes, "Everyone, the main force of the defenders has all been attracted to the east and south gates, and the other defense lines must be empty!

Several patriarchs suddenly realized, "Lord Bocasli really deserves to be made an elder by the first king, and this is the first time I have heard of such a tactic that can be used in siege warfare."

The corners of Bokasli's mouth smirked, and he turned around and shouted, "Where are the warriors of my Boca clan!" The rear army formation, which had already been in strict formation, responded like thunder, "Victory, victory!" With the order, the main force of more than 4,000 cavalry in the eastern court poured out, and the 2,000 archers who were responsible for the attack under the city suddenly changed direction and poured arrows on the weak western city wall,

Arrows flew sideways, the archers above fell down one after another, the defenders on the west city wall were caught off guard, and suddenly made a mess, just from the open gap, the Boca cavalry had already poured into the city like a tide, and quickly threw out the hook commonly used by the steppe cavalry to attack the city, and in a panic, the defenders only had time to quickly mobilize hundreds of archers to snipe at the gap.

"Kill!" the Boca death squad rushed up with shields, braving bows and arrows like rain, climbing the gaps in the city walls, stepping on large pieces of rubble and bricks, and a rapid cry for help sounded at the head of the city, the sun was completely dark, and the city roads were full of soldiers on both sides who were fighting, and there were more and more gaps, and there were fierce battles at each gap, and the defenders could not take care of the east side but not the south side, and more and more sections of the city wall were covered by the torches of the cavalry of the eastern court.

"In a few hours, we will be able to go into the city and drink hot mare's milk! I have heard that the noble women of the Northland taste quite good, but there are always some unsightly ones in front of me, and I hope this time it will not disappoint me," Bocasli said with a very confident smile on his lips, and turned to the patriarchs behind him

"According to the plan, the little girl of the eldest princess should have also arrived at the predetermined assembly point" After saying this, Bocasli looked up at the inky black heavy East Court sky above his head, licked his somewhat dry and cold cracked lips, and said with a smile.

I heard that it is a piece of high ground 40 miles away from Hulan Bei, and tonight is another snowy night, and now I only hope that the noble bloodline of the so-called Golden Family can give our naïve eldest princess Her Royal Highness some warmth!"

"Haha, what a humorous man Bocastlie!"

Bocastli's words caused a burst of laughter from the patriarchs in the rear, but in the howling north wind, some small voices were quietly approaching, (to be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
