Chapter 162: Northern Capital Royal Court

"Okay, as expected of me, Daxuan'erlang. He just has the talent."

"But I have to declare in advance that you can go with me, but you have to come back alive."

"If someone does unfortunately die in battle, I Ning Chen swear here...I will support your family, and I will raise your heirs to adulthood. When your parents grow old, sick, or die, I will personally hold their coffins."

Ning Chen said loudly.

The eyes of all the soldiers were red.

"Thank you, General Ning!"

"General Ning is mighty!"

"General Ning is mighty!"

"..."

Ning Chen pressed his hands and said loudly: "But remember, stay alive for me as long as possible... I will also take you back to Beijing to receive the reward. No one is allowed to die!"

"When you get to the Royal Court of Beidu, don't save bullets and crossbows. If you can kill someone from a distance, don't fight in close combat. Do you understand?"

All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Yes!"

...

Ning Chen is doing pre-war mobilization here, and the battle outside the pass in the north has come to an end for the time being.

At this time, outside Beilinguan, there were mountains of corpses and rivers of blood, which was shocking.

The Tuoluo army temporarily retreated.

In this battle, the Tuoluo Kingdom lost more than 10,000 people.

Daxuan also suffered heavy casualties. In terms of combat effectiveness, Daxuan's soldiers were far inferior to those of Tuoluo Kingdom.

The Tuoluo Kingdom army did not evacuate, but was stationed several miles away.

However, the situations of the two sides are now worlds apart.

More than 10,000 people died in the Tuoluo Kingdom, and countless injured. They lacked clothes and medicines. I am afraid that these injured people will not be able to survive for a few days, and a large number of people will die by then.

The situation on Daxuan's side is much better, with Beilinguan at its back, abundant supplies, and no shortage of military doctors.

Liang Jingwu continued to send scouts to inquire about the situation in the Tuoluo Kingdom.

He guessed that Tuoluo Kingdom might attack again.

Liang Jingwu ordered Daxuan's soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

He himself came to the hill, sat down with his sword in his hand, looked into the distance, and frowned.

I don’t know what’s going on with Ning Chen?

Liao Xingwen looked at Liang Jingwu, "We won, why is the general frowning?"

"I was thinking that if the Tuoluo Kingdom army does not retreat, it will definitely attack again."

"This year there has been constant wind and snow, and the life of Tuoluo Kingdom has been more difficult than in previous years... Maybe they came here with the determination to die this time."

Liao Xingwen sneered: "If they dare to come again, let them never come back."

Liang Jingwu sighed, "Don't be careless. The Tuoluo Kingdom is only temporarily withdrawing its troops. Next time it comes back, it will only be more ferocious."

"General, what should we do next?"

Liang Jingwu narrowed his eyes, "Give me the order, all soldiers, have a good rest!"

"We've fought this hard, we can't give up halfway...this time, we'll hit them thoroughly."

Liao Xingwen was shocked, "General, are you going to take the initiative?"

Liang Jingwu nodded, "Ning Chen once said that sometimes the best defense is to take the initiative...I didn't understand it before, but now I finally understand the meaning of this sentence."

"Every time, Tuoluo Kingdom attacks, we defend...This time, it's our turn to take the initiative."

"Let the soldiers have a good night's rest. Tomorrow morning, all the troops will be pressed forward... I guess the Tuoluo Kingdom will not think that we dare to take the initiative?"

The next day, early morning.

Liang Jingwu led the army and pressed towards the garrison of Tuoluo Kingdom in a mighty manner.

Boom, boom, boom! ! !

The sound of war drums echoed through the sky.

"Da Xuan's officers and men, follow me to kill all the bandits."

Liang Jingwu yelled.

Thousands of troops and horses rolled over like a torrent.

Although the Tuoluo Kingdom's army was shocked that Daxuan's soldiers dared to take the initiative to attack, they were already prepared to meet the enemy.

The scouts had long discovered the movements of Daxuan's army.

The drums beat and the war breaks out.

The armies of both sides fought again.

In this battle, tens of thousands more lives were lost.

Corpses were everywhere, rivers of blood flowed, and the land was devastated.

Daxuan Erlang is brave and not afraid of death.

The soldiers of the Tuoluo Kingdom were indeed brave and bloody, and they fought back desperately.

But they eventually showed signs of failure.

Daxuan is rich in supplies and has Beilin Pass at its back. The soldiers ate well, slept well and were full of energy last night.

The army of Tuoluo Kingdom was short of food and clothing, and there was no supply of food and grass. It would be good if they could only eat half full, but their physical strength was severely reduced.

Until the horn of withdrawal sounded, they were unwilling to fight and retreat.

Liang Jingwu ordered the pursuit.

The army was defeated like a mountain.

The Tuoluo Kingdom left corpses everywhere and fled in panic.

Liang Jingwu led his army to pursue him.

...

More than ten days passed in a flash.

Ning Chen finally arrived at the Royal Court of the Northern Capital.

The so-called Beidu Royal Court is actually a large yurt, similar to a yurt.

Ning Chen asked the scouts to go find out.

Two hours later, the scout returned.

"how?"

The scout said: "As the general expected, there are only a few thousand soldiers in the Northern Capital Palace."

"Can you confirm the location of King Zuoting?"

The scout nodded, and then began to draw on the snow, sketching out the general appearance of the entire Beidu Royal Court.

"General Ning, the largest yurt in the center is the palace of King Zuoting."

Ning Chen continued to ask: "Where is the distribution of troops?"

"They don't have enough troops, so they are relatively scattered... There are more than 2,000 soldiers patrolling the outside, and almost all the rest are guarding around King Zuoting's palace."

Ning Chen nodded slightly.

"Pass my order, let the soldiers eat all the remaining food, eat and drink enough, and stay here to recuperate."

"Tonight, attack the Beidu Royal Court at night."

......

Night fell.

The cold wind whistled, and snowflakes floated in the air.

Ning Chen, who was sleeping with a knife in his arms, suddenly opened his eyes.

He grabbed a handful of snow, wiped his face, and made himself completely awake.

"Pass my order, prepare to attack!"

With Ning Chen's order, a thousand soldiers rushed towards the Beidu Royal Court.

"Brother Qi, you lead fifty people and guard outside."

Qi Yuanzhong nodded, "I accept the order!"

"The rest of you, follow me!"

Like ghosts in the dark, the group quickly approached the Beidu Royal Court.

The patrol soldiers of the Beidu Royal Court also discovered Ning Chen and others at the first time.

The horn sounded.

This is the horn of the enemy attack.

In the huge felt house, King Zuo Ting sat in front of a low table, hugging his left and right.

Next to him, two women from the Tuo Luo Kingdom served.

The women of Tuoluo Kingdom are not as delicate as the women of Daxuan, and their skin is not as white and delicate as that of Daxuan women, but they are tall, with deep facial features and a kind of wild beauty.

The woman on the left cut a piece of meat from the roasted lamb leg and put it to King Zuo Ting's mouth.

The other woman held a wine glass.

King Zuo Ting was tall and had a strong brow. He was very comfortable with a mouthful of wine and a mouthful of meat.

The sudden sound of the horn startled him. He stood up and shouted to the outside. It was the words of Tuoluo Kingdom.

A soldier ran in and said in panic in Tuoluo Kingdom: "Enemy attack, Daxuan's army is coming."

King Zuo Ting was stunned.

Daxuan's army is coming? Is this possible?

"Humph, it's probably a small group of people who want to attack... Don't panic, follow me to fight the enemy, and let them come and go."

King Zuo Ting is not a drunkard. He strode out of the tent with a knife.

As soon as the result came out, he heard a thunderous explosion, accompanied by a shrill scream, which made his face change.

Bang, bang, bang! ! !

The sound was like thunder, and the flames spread with black smoke.

The soldiers of the Tuo Luo country who rushed over had blood flowers bursting out of their bodies and screamed shrilly.

After one team fired, they immediately retreated and reloaded ammunition.

Another team immediately took the lead and fired at the Tuo Luo soldiers who were frightened by the sound of the muskets.

Blood sprayed, and the soldiers of the Tuo Luo country fell down in groups like wheat being cut.
