Chapter 144: Appetizers! Dismiss all officials!
In the Beimang army camp.
Shizhan Cangshu climbed to a high place and looked ahead.
Ahead, the Northern Liang cavalry army can be seen approaching!
Now, after retaking Yumen Pass, the Northern Barbarian Army is heading south again.
It is not too far away from Jinzhou City.
However, he also knew that along the way, the Beiliang Cavalry seemed to be forced to defend, but in fact they were fighting and retreating.
It's all for today's counterattack!
"General, the 250,000 strong Northern Liang cavalry will soon be heading to the battlefield.
"The Divine Emperor Xu Beichen is also among them!"
A scout came here and reported to Shizhan Cangshu.
Xu Beichen...
A cold light flashed in Shizhan Cangshu's eyes.
This Shenwu Emperor is a great threat to Beimang!
If we could use all our troops in this battle to kill Xu Beichen...
Then, there will be no more obstacles for Beimang to enter the Central Plains again in the future!
Although he thought so, his expression remained calm.
He asked the scout in a deep voice.
"What did the Prime Minister say?"
Even if all the troops were mobilized, it might not be possible to kill Xu Beichen.
This will be a big gamble!
But he can't gamble!
“The Prime Minister has ordered that the generals may fight at their discretion.
"However, we must try our best to preserve the strength of the army. If we are defeated, we must immediately retreat to Yumen Pass!"
Retreat to Yumen Pass...
Shizhan Cangzhu narrowed his eyes.
He nodded again.
"Go back and report to the Prime Minister. I already know about it.
"But I will still go all out in this battle!"
The words fell.
The scout immediately responded and left.
Shizhan Cangshu then turned his gaze towards the Beiliang cavalry army that was getting closer and closer in front of him.
A big wave of his hand.
“Send the order!
"The army is ready to meet the enemy!"
……
One side of the battlefield.
The Beiliang cavalry had already arrived and were confronting the Beimang army on the other side of the battlefield.
Xu Beichen rode his horse and came to the front of the army, looking at the Beimang army.
"Two hundred thousand Beimang troops, the Beimang Prime Minister has underestimated us!"
He smiled coldly.
If they only pursued the Beiliang cavalry that was previously stationed at Yumen Pass, the 200,000 Beimang army would indeed be enough.
However, the Prime Minister of Beimang should have been able to anticipate that reinforcements from the Beiliang Iron Cavalry would arrive again.
And then they engaged in battle with the Northern Mang army!
"Your Majesty, there should be no land immortals in the Beimang army camp."
Zhang Yunshan came closer to Xu Beichen and spoke in a deep voice.
“In that case, the Northern Mang army might… want to preserve its strength.
"After that, we will engage in direct battle with our Beiliang Iron Cavalry!"
In response, Xu Beichen nodded in agreement.
If the Northern Mang army's previous plan had been followed, perhaps both Jiangzhou and the Pingxi Army would have caused great trouble to the Great Xia Dynasty.
As a result, the Beimang army broke through Yumen Pass and moved south from the northern border.
Such a layout will naturally give the Northern Mang army an advantage!
But now.
The remaining forces of the Dayang Dynasty have been completely wiped out.
The same was true for the Pingxi Army.
Even the Yumen Pass, which the Northern Mang army wanted to break through first, was not broken through until a long time later and at the cost of three land immortals.
Many of Beimang’s plans were thus shattered.
Although Xu Beichen doesn't know yet whether the Prime Minister of Beimang has other plans.
However, Xu Beichen was also very clear about the gap between the Beiliang Iron Cavalry and the Beimang Army.
The final battle must be fought to the death at Yumen Pass!
After thinking this through, Xu Beichen stopped paying attention to it.
At least in this world.
The victory or defeat between the two armies will decide everything!
then.
Xu Beichen waved his sleeves.
"Yunshan, Wang Wu, this battle is now up to you!
"As for the Northern Mang army ahead, leave as many as you can!"
The words fell.
Zhang Yunshan and Wang Wu immediately stepped forward and responded respectfully.
"According to the order!"
Then, the two of them started to make their own arrangements.
Xu Beichen didn't say anything else, and just climbed to a high place under the escort of a group of guards.
This battle is just an appetizer for the Beiliang Cavalry.
There was no need for Xu Beichen, the Emperor of Daxia, to go into battle in person.
As for the previous suppression of the Pingxi Army, it was different from this battle.
Xu Beichen wanted to use his prestige to intimidate the already exhausted Pingxi Army.
This enabled him to easily defeat the Pingxi Army using only the Beiliang cavalry that emerged from the Jianmu bonsai.
"Your Majesty, why does the Northern Mang army insist on breaking through Yumen Pass?
"Since they can use the lives of three land immortals to force their way through, why didn't they do this earlier?"
Old Liu followed Xu Beichen, looking at the two armies about to meet on the battlefield and asking Xu Beichen questions.
Now the decisive battle between the two countries will take place at Yumen Pass.
That being the case, if the Northern Mang army had broken through Yumen Pass earlier, wouldn't they have been able to maximize their advantage?
Xu Beichen smiled and shook his head.
"It's not that easy!"
“Even if they break through Yumen Pass, the most we can do is temporarily abandon Jinzhou City.
"At most, the decisive battle will be held in Jinzhou!"
After all, even the Northern Mang army had already broken through the Yumen Pass.
Xu Beichen could also rely on the Beiliang cavalry to block and pacify Jiangzhou and Pingxi Army before the Beimang army broke through Jinzhou City!
What's more, how many land immortals are there in the Beimang army? How can they forcefully attack the city under the backlash of the human world's luck?
After connecting to the Great Wall, Yumen Pass is a pass that must be fought for between Daxia and Beimang!
……
Daxia Imperial City.
Li Sisheng stood outside the Golden Palace, with scorching sunlight shining down on his head.
It is now early summer.
The morning sunlight is already quite strong.
In front of Li Sisheng, all the court officials of Daxia were also standing here.
Under the sunlight, his forehead was covered with sweat.
"Everyone, it's almost time."
At this time, Li Sisheng spoke slowly.
"Ministry of War, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Works, Ministry of Justice..."
He seemed to be calling out names, his tone calm and clear.
But as his words fell.
Outside the Golden Palace, the faces of several ministers became extremely ugly.
They raised their heads and stared at Li Sisheng, the prime minister of the current dynasty.
"Prime Minister, His Majesty is currently leading the army, and you are dismissing us at this time... It is not right in terms of both morality and reason!"
Finally, someone couldn't hold back and spoke.
But Li Sisheng didn't even look at them.
"Since you all know that His Majesty is leading the army to fight outside, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can wait until His Majesty comes back to discuss it!
"Now, you are to resign from your posts and leave the Imperial City immediately...
"Or shall I personally send someone to escort you out of the city?"
His tone remained calm throughout.
But the faces of all the courtiers in front of him were extremely pale!
Among them, there were newly selected court officials, and there were also those who used to be court officials of Dayang but now surrendered to Daxia.
However, today, Li Sisheng is going to dismiss them all!
