The court of Dadan.

The king's tent was gloomy, the kings in fancy clothes and high hats were restless, the noble generals looked out of the tent from time to time, and some people drank glass after glass, but their trembling hands always spilled most of the wine.

Dadan Khan's fleshy mountain-like body stood up rarely. Right now, he was walking around the platform anxiously, and the floor squeaked overwhelmingly, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Because of his large body and strong belly, his hands could neither be put behind his back nor folded in front of his abdomen, but could only be hung on his belt at times, and sometimes thrown at his sides like small rubbers.

Prince Dadan was like a man on his back, and from time to time he walked out of the king's tent to look outside, and when he came back, he always looked worried, as if he was already in the end of the world.

There is only one reason why everyone reacted like this: it was unfavorable to fight with the two armies of Tian Yuan and Khitan.

To be more precise, most of the several stubborn defensive lines arranged by the Dadan Department have been overcome, and reports of defeat are reported back every day, and more than half of the more than 100,000 troops mobilized by the Dadan Khan in advance have been killed or wounded.

If it weren't for the support of a few Wang Ji Realm masters, the follow-up soldiers and horses were constantly rushing to the front to enrich the follow-up defense line, I was afraid that the two armies of Tianyuan and Khitan would have already hit the royal court.

But even so, Wang Jijing has already killed one in battle.

Today, in less than ten months, the Dadan Department is already panicked, the princes and nobles are sitting on pins and needles, and the morale of the soldiers below can be imagined.

While everyone was anxiously waiting for today's battle report, and afraid of the face of Dadan Khan, they did not dare to speak easily, and the king's tent was as quiet as water.

Finally, when the sun was setting, the sound of footsteps and the collision of the nail leaves sounded outside the king's tent, and everyone nervously stretched their necks to look, and saw the evil king Batu, covered in blood, striding towards the king's tent.

"How's the battle going?" waited for Batu to enter the tent to salute, and Dadan Khan, who had stopped, hurriedly asked.

"In today's battle, more than 1,000 enemies were killed and more than 10,000 people died!" "The evil king Batu had a gloomy face, "Great Khan, we can't stop it, for today's plan, we can only gather all the soldiers and horses in the royal court and fight to the death with the thief and enemy!"

These days, according to the strategy discussed with the Yanmen Army before, the Dadan Department fortified layer by layer, delaying the offensive pace of the Tianyuan Army and the Khitan Army, so that the other party did not hit the royal court directly.

However, the army has suffered too many casualties in the past few days, and the strength of the Tianyuan army is far beyond expectations.

Today, Batu's men are dead and wounded, and he himself is covered in bruises, and he can no longer fight.

Listening to Batu's suggestion, Prince Dadan jumped up anxiously, pointed to his nose and scolded:

"Shut up! Let you fight on the front line, it is for you to resist the invading enemy, you are not good at fighting, even if you let the army suffer heavy losses, and now you dare to retreat! Don't you know, once the royal court can't hold it......

"Once the decisive battle of the royal court is unfavorable, we will become lost dogs, wealth will be plundered by the enemy, pastures will be occupied by the enemy, cattle and sheep will become the enemy's military food, and then we will ....... What will we do then?!"

A group of princes and nobles immediately spoke in agreement, saying that the thief army must not be allowed to kill the royal court, otherwise the losses of the Dadan Department will be too heavy and there will be no way to retreat.

Some old people also questioned Batu why he, who was usually proud and conceited and had a high opinion of himself, did not lead his army to a great victory and stop the enemy.

In the face of the prince's accusations and everyone's criticism, Batu blushed to the base of his neck.

Since the war, he has been fighting on the front line, the prince was full of confidence at the beginning of the war, and he went to the battlefield in person, but after experiencing the first two fiascos, he was so frightened that he ran back to the royal court and never dared to appear on the battlefield again.

And those princes and nobles, who have no cultivation, don't even dare to go into battle in the current situation.

Batu held back his anger, gritted his teeth and said: "The soldiers in front have no morale, and if we continue to fight, the whole army will be defeated, only by relying on the royal court and concentrating all our forces can we have the qualifications to continue fighting!"

Speaking of this, he saluted Dadan Khan again, "Great Khan, as long as we persist in fighting in the royal court for a period of time, when the Great Qi Royal Division arrives, we will be able to usher in a turning point and defeat the thief enemy in one fell swoop!"

The crown prince also wanted to scold Batu for his cowardice and put the royal court in danger, but Dadan Khan had already opened his mouth in disbelief:

"The Yanmen Army is still in the area of Fengming Mountain, and they have not broken through the defense line of the thief army, what if they can't come over in time?"

When Batu saw the Dadan Khan who had no idea, he felt irritated in his heart, he had to ask him any questions, he had to come up with any plan, and he had to rely on him to lead the army, but the prince still scolded him unreasonably.

These people in the king's tent are majestic on weekdays, but now at the moment of crisis, they only know how to hide behind the army, and follow the prince to point fingers at his battle situation, what does the royal court want them to do?

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Batu said: "According to the battle situation during this time, we can concentrate our forces in the royal court and roughly hold out for another seven days. If the Yanmen Army can come back within seven days, the royal court will be able to keep it!"

"Seven days ......" Dadan Khan's eyes lost his mind for a while, and he began to pace back and forth again, "It will take five days on the road from Fengming Mountain to here! If the Yanmen army cannot break through Fengming Mountain within two days, then we will not .......?"

Speaking of which, he did not say any more.

All the people in the king's tent, including the crown prince and the princess Tana, were all dead.

The Yanmen army, Tian Yuan, and the Khitan army have been fighting in Fengming Mountain for many days, but the Yanmen army has not even been able to capture Guancheng, and now they want to break through Fengming Mountain within two days, is this possible?

......

Before Baifengkou closed the city, Zhao Ning stood with Zhao Beiwang, Wang Rouhua, Yang Jiani and others, facing the city head that had begun to fight fiercely, ready to go into battle in person and fight hard.

These days, the Yanmen Army has harvested a lot of growth.

From thinking very highly of themselves and not taking the Beihu army in their eyes, thinking that if the two armies fought, the other side would be defeated, to after the first battle of the vanguard, the whole army realized the strength of the Beihu army and put away its contempt.

From attacking the second line of defense of the Beihu army, Wu suffered heavy casualties as soon as he went into battle, and in the face of the opponent's fierce combat power, he was dizzy, nervous and flustered, and suffered heavy casualties, completely forgetting the training content on weekdays;

When the soldiers gradually adapted to the tragic environment of the bloody battle in Guancheng and regained their inherent rhythm of tactics little by little, the Yanmen army spent many days, paid a tragic price, and reaped a painful lesson.

The Yanmen army is training in battle, and the same is true for the Beihu army.

The grassland army has never been good at foot combat, and there is almost no foot fighting, and the southern expedition to the Great Qi is the established plan of the Tianyuan royal court, and in the future, it is more necessary to attack the city and pull out the village.

Since there is this policy and plan, the Tian Yuan Army has begun to train the soldiers' infantry combat ability in the past few years, and it is precisely because of this reason that the Tian Yuan Army did not show too much discomfort in this battle.

But on the one hand, because of the time relationship, the soldiers trained by the Tianyuan Army in foot combat were only a part, and the number was not too many, and the tactics were not very skillful.

This is also one of the reasons why the Tianyuan Royal Court originally decided to fight against the Great Qi Kingdom in two years, they need more worlds to let more warriors know the method of foot combat.

On the other hand, a group of grassland generals and grassland warriors who had always only known how to fight immediately suddenly began to try infantry training, and without the help of the Central Plains infantry generals, they were not allowed to enter the door, and they only knew the skin but did not know the essence, which was an inevitable situation.

The Tianyuan tribe swept Mobei to establish the royal court, just a few years ago.

In the past few years, they have been busy controlling and assimilating the Khitan and Jurchen tribes, and the energy to really train the warriors in foot combat is actually very limited.

On the whole, although some of the soldiers of the Tianyuan Army have trained in foot combat, they have limited knowledge, limited infantry combat ability, and even more limited knowledge of various combat methods.

The fact that they were able to hold Guancheng these days was due to the quality of the warriors who had been trained in a hundred battles, the advantage of their many cultivators, and the natural geographical advantage that Guancheng provided to them.

The city is offensive and defensive, and the defender of the city naturally has an advantage, and in this case, it is undoubtedly a rare opportunity to train in battle and improve the infantry level of the Beihu army.

Therefore, the battle of Fengming Mountain, in the arrangement of Chalahan, is also an excellent battlefield for the grassland warriors to adapt to the offensive and defensive battles of the city.

In order to be truly proficient in infantry warfare, the steppe warriors must learn from the enemy in the midst of blood and fire through actual combat with the Central Plains infantry army.

If this battle can be won, it is best to capture a group of Yanmen generals and help them train their soldiers in foot combat in the future.

That's why Charahan has been thinking about finding an opportunity to counterattack in this battle. Only by repelling the Yanmen army and not defeating the Yanmen army, it is impossible to capture a large number of Yanmen army generals and colonels.

Charahan wanted to take advantage of the advantage of guarding the pass to make up for the shortcomings of the Beihu army's poor foot warfare, so as to achieve the purpose of depleting the vital strength of the Yanmen army and damaging the morale of the Yanmen army, and looking for an opportunity to chase the final sound and win a complete victory.

In this sense, the key to victory or defeat in the confrontation between the two armies of Fengming Mountain depends to a large extent on which of the soldiers on both sides takes the lead in achieving substantial growth.

In other words, the officers and men of the Yanmen Army should grow from new pawns to old pawns before the casualties reach a certain level, causing great losses in military strength and demoralization, and seize Fengming Mountain before the opportunity of the counteroffensive of the Beihu Army appears.

During this time, Zhao Ning did not unite with Yang Jiani and led the two masters to directly attack Guancheng, but used Condor Archery to fight against the Yanmen army, and this is the reason!

Charahan hated Zhao Ning, and tried many times to get rid of Zhao Ning, a scourge, and did not hesitate to risk losing many masters for this, and the root knot also lies in this!

Today, Zhao Ning has achieved the Yuan Shen Realm, and the various units of the Yanmen Army in front of the White Wind Pass have completed a complete round of bloody war training.

In the meantime, because of Zhao Ning's response, the casualties of each department were not very large, and in terms of the relationship between battle damage and growth, the Yanmen Army in front of the white wind mouth at the moment can be said to be at the most appropriate node.

And the Yanmen Army in front of Flying Eagle Mountain and Black Stone Valley, the situation is different.

One is that when attacking Guancheng, there was no abnormal care of Zhao Ning, and the other is that because of the terrain of Flying Eagle Mountain and Black Stone Valley, the casualties of the army were too fast and too many, the rotation of various departments was rapid, the time to persist in fighting was short, and the growth space of soldiers was small.

Up to now, the Yanmen army in these two places has suffered heavy casualties and low morale, and has reached a very dangerous situation.

If An Siming is unfavorable in today's battle and cannot achieve breakthrough results, then the time for the counteroffensive of the Northern Hu Army will come immediately!

In a word, today, it is the Yanmen Army that has made a breakthrough from Baifengkou and tore apart the second line of defense of the Northern Hu Army, the best and last fighter!

The time is not lost, and now that the war has progressed, everyone who is tied to this huge chariot has not had much choice.

Fight, fight to the death, and die if you don't win!
