Mingluan Peak led the troops on the expedition first, and after the Mingqing Campaign raised food and grass, he led an army of 200,000 troops toward the border.
A touch of whiteness appeared on the side of the day, the sun had not broken through the clouds, and the faint morning light had enveloped the vast desert.
The strict and orderly military barracks resounded loudly for training. Yesterday a small victory defeated the enemy's small groups of harassment. Stationed here for more than half a month, there have been three battles with barbarians, and countless small-scale battles.
The combatants are still immersed in their dreamland, and most of the sergeants have already begun to drill.
This land is open, not far in front is the border between the two countries, and the small town thirty miles behind is the only material distribution center on the border, and many barbarians originally also traded here. After the war, most of the barbarian shops were closed.
Ming Luanfeng, as the great general of Zhenyuan, was the marshal of this expedition. At this moment, he was standing on a three-pack not far away, looking up into the vast expanse, and his eyes were all desolate.
There was the sound of horse hooves coming from the rear military camp, and only one man and one horse galloped forward to dismount, reporting: "General, the enemy has taken the bait."
Mingluan Peak was overjoyed upon hearing the news, and sent an order: "The whole camp is assembled."
The messenger flew away again.
When the twilight struck, the red sky gradually dimmed, and the attacking soldiers still had not returned to the camp, including the commander Mingluan Peak. The left-behind generals have sent several groups of soldiers to investigate, but there is no information.
The night completely shrouded the desert, and a gust of wind made it even more desolate.
The tenth group of spies sent by the generals finally brought back news: the whole camp was in an ambush by mistake while pursuing the enemy, and very few people survived. The coach Ming Luanfeng was seriously injured and his whereabouts are still unknown.
The news came back to Cangcheng, and everyone was shocked. The Emperor Canghai urgently summoned Mingluan Peak to enter the palace, confessed that he was the marshal, and sent troops to the border as quickly as possible.
Ming Qingzhan tells Ming Jiuge the news without telling her mother, hoping that she can find her father through her own channels.
Ming Jiuge was shocked when he heard the bad news at first, and was obviously not prepared. After calming down, she decisively sent a message to Ling who was already at the border, and she must not follow her brother's team to the border together.
"Don't discuss such a big matter with me?" Xiao Beiyuan's tone revealed blame.
Bright
Jiuge was anxious and couldn't hold back the fire for a while, "What else is there to discuss? It's important to save people."
"Save people? Where are you going to save? How to save?" Xiao Beiyuan flew a few words lightly, and asked Ming Jiuge speechlessly.
She did not make any preparations, but she knew in her heart that as long as she went by herself and found clues, she would definitely be able to find her father.
Xiao Beiyuan caught the pain that flashed in her eyes, and said in a slow tone: "I am not trying to stop you, but to calm down. I will also prepare and go with you."
"You? How did you leave? The imperial city still needs your guard..."
"I've arranged everything." He said that the arrangement was the cooperation of the accompanying dark guard and the shadow pavilion, and as for the imperial city, it wouldn't be messy without him sitting in the town.
The Ming Qingzhan took the lead in the first step. Xiao Beiyuan and Ming Jiuge shared a horse to chase, and all the things they needed were placed in the last carriage.
Running all the way, eating and sleeping on the street, three days away, arrived in only two days. Ming Jiuge also caught up with the Ming Qing war the next day. Seeing her sunken eyes and sallow complexion, Xiao Beiyuan was deeply worried about her.
Ming Jiuge didn't care about it. Her condition looked serious, but it was actually caused by getting angry. She threw two pills into her mouth and she could still laugh.
Only then did Ming Jiuge discover that there are cascading mountains in the northwest, and five miles in front of him is a wide seasonal river. Now it is the rainy season, the river is gentle and the river surface is very suitable for boats. Not far from the river is the barbarian's place, and the two sides face each other across the river. Unfortunately, the river is almost stained red with blood.
Chinese military account.
"General, this is the place where the old general lies." The left-behind general had already rushed from the camp of Mingluan Peak, pointed out the place where the two sides were fighting, and recounted the passage in detail.
After he finished speaking, it was very quiet in the big tent. Everyone's mood is different, and everyone's mental state can also be seen from the bits and pieces shown on the outside.
Ming Jiuge watched everyone's reaction with an unmoving expression, calling the beast with his thoughts: "Master, please give orders."
"You go to the place just mentioned, and don't let people see your figure." That means it has to go secretly alone.
"Please don't worry, Master, I will go right away."
Sending a beast out, she feels a lot more relieved, just
Wait patiently for the news.
The spies sent by Ming Qingzhan reported that the barbarians' army was also assembled on the opposite side and did not set the boat.
After the discussion, Ming Qingzhan walked out of the big battle and inspected the barracks. Ming Jiuge walked side by side with him. In the military camp, Ming Jiuge changed into a sergeant's men's suit for convenience, but he still couldn't hide his handsomeness.
"Ge'er, thirty miles behind you is the only and most prosperous town here. Go to the town to inquire about the news."
"I arranged for someone to be here early, and soon there will be news of barbarians."
Ming Qingzhan's armor and handsome appearance are extremely conspicuous in the army. Especially with a petite soldier next to him, it is more or less imaginative.
The two talked as they walked, speaking in a very low voice.
"I don't know where Dad is now or what's going on." Ming Qingzhan felt a sense of powerlessness, anxious and forced himself to calm down.
"Brother, don't worry, if you can't get out tonight, you must be careful with your father, and wait patiently."
"Wait, what are you saying is true?" Ming Qingzhan was deeply impressed by the magic of his sister.
Ming Jiuge looked at the river not far away.
"Brother, where do you think the barbarians would choose to go ashore?"
"Of course it is the narrowest place on the river."
"Wrong, they would never choose to be there." She pointed there with a wide view, which is not conducive to ambushes, but there is no need for ambushes, as long as you shoot archers, add rockets and crossbows, and borrow some east wind like the Three Kingdoms It is bound to cause heavy casualties.
But if you choose to be in the widest place, you can attack, retreat, or hide. Even if you face the same risks, you can still find ways to avoid it, and you will not retreat without retreat.
Jingming Jiuge reminded that the Mingqing warfare was like a divine enlightenment. First, he sent people to the woods to the west and chopped countless branches, all made into sharp wood drills on both sides, and then sent someone to bury them on the banks of the two rivers in the dark.
"Brother, your trick is enough for a barbarian to drink a pot."
"It's best to surrender soldiers without fighting."
Ming Qingzhan saw Xiao Beiyuan rushing back in the dust, his face was covered with a thin layer of smoke, and his eyes were bright.
"Brother-in-law is back? Is there a gain?"
"I only found out that my father-in-law was in the town, but I don't know where he is."
"Then I will send someone there right away."
Ming Jiuge was the first to stand up against it: "I don't think this is necessary."
