The refugees all over the city showed panicked expressions, and they looked at Mo Wuxian with dull eyes. And although Mo Wuxian was a little frightened at first, he calmed down in an instant. His face was gloomy and black as the bottom of a pot.

"Gongziyu, what happened?"

Gongzi Yu behind him was even more pale, because even he didn't know what was going on. As soon as Mo Wuxian's voice landed, Gongzi Yu turned over his horse and ran towards the city with a wave of his hand. Just as he was about to wave his whip, inside the city gate, a fast horse came towards the city gate like a swift wind.

"Newspaper—newspaper—"

The horse came to a halt abruptly, its front hooves raised suddenly. The warrior rolled off his horse like a gourd, and crawled towards Mo Wuxian in embarrassment, "Your Majesty...... Emperor...... The big thing is not good, the grassland Hulu army suddenly appeared, and it was already approaching the city. ”

"What?" Mo Wuxian's eyes were cold, and his figure flashed, and he came to the front of the soldier and lifted the soldier up, "What about the scouts of our army, why didn't you find the enemy in advance?"

"No...... I don't know...... The scouts who went out at midnight today have not yet returned. Originally, we planned to wait a little longer, but we didn't expect the grassland army to come so quickly......" Although the little soldier was carried in Mo Wuxian's hand, perhaps because of the urgency of the military situation, his answer did not have the slightest swallowing, and such a fluent answer.

"Gongzi Yu!" Mo Wuxian put down the little soldier, gently shook the cloak behind him and turned his head coldly, "It seems that Allah is unwilling to let me go, you go back immediately, and don't let the grassland Hulu take a step beyond the thunder pool." You can kill me as much as he comes, and I don't want him to come back alive!"

"Command—" Gongzi Yu finished speaking, and with a loud shout, the horse under his feet let out a long neigh, and rushed towards the city gate.

"Imperial brother, sister will escort you back to the capital immediately!" Princess Changle on the side also understood the urgency of the matter, and hurriedly said to Mo Wuxian.

"No, I'm sitting here, and the big army is about to fight, and if I leave, it will affect morale. Gongzi Yu told me yesterday that Allah would either not fight, or if he did, he would be shocked. Sheep's Head Fort is the only gateway outside of Kyushu, and I want to boost my morale, and if necessary, I will personally go into battle to kill the enemy, and I am determined to keep the enemy out of the country. ”

"Brother Huang, don't be angry, okay!" This time, maybe Princess Changle was really anxious, and the phoenix eyes glared at her and scolded her sternly, "Brother Huang is the Son of Heaven, and the gentleman is not under the wall, let alone the Son of Heaven? The courtiers respectfully invite the emperor to return to Beijing——"

"The ministers respectfully invite the emperor to return to Beijing—"

"The grass people and others respectfully invite the emperor to return to Beijing-"

Looking at the kneeling figures around him, Mo Wuji's nose was a little pantothenic. He has ambition, ambition, wisdom, and strategy. As the so-called one who achieves great things, he should follow the advice of his subjects, return to the safe capital, and then be the commander of the town to win this war.

However, his time is running out! If he had time, he might try his best to pay attention to his own safety, and then sweep the grassland south to conquer the hundred columns. However, he knew that he had no time to do it. His ambitions can only be pinned on Tianya.

Mo Wuxian slowly stepped on the line, "Go back to the city!"

"Your Majesty ......" Changle's face was full of pleading, and he even did not hesitate to plop down in front of Mo Wuxian.

"Changle, I'm old, and you've grown up. I carry the Great Zhou on my shoulders, but I can't carry it forever. Tianya is already twenty years old, and he has reached the age of the crown. I always thought that Tianya was a child who didn't grow up, but it wasn't until that day that I suddenly realized that my emperor had actually grown up.

No harmony, no tribute, no land cution, no reparations, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies! I have established the country with force, ruled the country according to law, and governed the people with benevolence. Today, the grassland Hulu army is pressing, and I want to defend the country in the name of the Son of Heaven. Give me a chance, and give Tianya a chance. ”

Princess Changle opened her mouth, but what she wanted to say was not said in the end. Mo Wuxian smiled faintly and patted Xingyuan gently, "Go back to the city!"

Xingyuan turned around and slowly walked towards the city. Princess Changle looked at Mo Wuxian's back, waved her hand gently, and the Phoenix Army once again turned into a long song and followed closely.

The flames of war were raging, and the artillery was roaring. The steppe wolf riders who attacked this time were actually part of Allah Khan's vanguard force. Their purpose was to test whether the defense force of the sheep's head fort was strong enough.

After all, Liangzhou had just experienced a heavy blow the year before last, and Liangzhou, without the Night Demon Army, should be extremely vulnerable at this moment. A fortress like a sheep's head fort, which is like a nail nailed to the steppe, should not exist at all.

If the defenders of Sheep's Head are not strong, then the purpose of the vanguard wolf rider is to pull out this nail for the army. But in fact, the ideal is plump, but the reality is cruel. Years ago, 150,000 forbidden troops were already stationed in Liangzhou. Even of the 150,000 troops, 100,000 troops remained in this sheep's head fort.

As long as the sheep's head fort is not lost, Liangzhou can sit back and relax. This is the treasure left by Qianchongshan twenty years ago, just for the sheep's head fort, the whole Zhou should be grateful to Qianchongshan forever.

In the face of the heavy artillery bombardment of the Great Zhou, the vanguard tried three charges without success. In desperation, the vanguard retreated, and the artillery fire ceased at almost the same time. However, the soldiers stationed at Sheep's Head understood that this was not the end of the war, but the beginning of it.

"Emperor Qiqi, the enemy army that has just come to attack is the vanguard army of the grassland Hulu, the purpose is to spy on whether the Liangzhou is well guarded. We have been repulsed now, but we are unable to fight back because we lack cavalry. Now they had retreated thirty miles away, but they had not left. The minister thought that Allah's army should be in the rear. ”

Facing Gongzi Yu in front of him, the expression on Mo Wuxian's face was extremely gloomy. However, Gongzi Yu is his confidant and favorite general, Mo Wuxian tried to scold him several times, but he couldn't help it, "How is Allah Khan's army moving?"

"This ...... I don't know......"

"I don't know? Gongziyu, are you a recruit who has just enlisted in the army? Who are you? I am the general of the Great Zhou Hall of the Jade Pillar, and you are the general that I am proud of. The art of war is cloudy, knowing oneself and knowing the other side to win all battles, don't you know this if you are familiar with the art of war?

The grassland hulu has been beaten under the city gate, but you didn't know it before. Now that the enemy has retreated, you don't know the situation in the grassland? Do you want to tell me that in this battle, you are a blind man, and your eyes are black?"

"The minister is guilty...... Gongzi Yu's face turned pale, and he knelt down in front of Mo Wuxian in a panic, "Your Majesty, this matter is strange." The ministers have never relaxed the surveillance of the grasslands for a day, and in this short period of time, the ministers have scattered no less than a thousand people. However, until the grassland Hulu army pressed the border, the minister did not receive a report from the waiter.

This is something that has not been done since the founding of my dynasty, and the minister asserts that all the scouts scattered by the minister have been killed at this moment, and there is not even time to deliver the news. This...... I have to guard against this!"

"Brother Huang, I'm afraid this matter is no wonder General Gongzi Yu. Changle Ying on the side frowned, and looked at Mo Wuxian with a dark face with some hesitation, "General Gongziyu's forbidden army is all infantry troops, and the defense of the city is a strong point, but there is no cavalry under his command." If you want to know the trend of the grassland, you can only take a walk.

However, scouts are scarce in number, and sometimes they are unable to escape even if they find an enemy. If you want to really find out the movement of the grassland, you can only inspect the grassland with a large-scale cavalry attack. However, because of the death of the Night Demon Army, the power of Liangzhou's supervision is weak. My sister petitioned, so let me lead three thousand phoenixes to the grassland to find out the enemy's situation!"

"No!" The words landed, and Mo Wuxian and Gongziyu vetoed Princess Changle's proposal almost at the same time.

"Changle, you are my princess of Da Zhou, how noble is your status, how can you be in danger? Now that they are here, there is no need to supervise or not. ”

"Brother Huang, I am the princess of the Great Zhou, but I am the Jade Pillar General of the Great Zhou. If Liangzhou, which has no cavalry, wants to turn passivity into initiative, it must be our Phoenix Army. And the Three Thousand Phoenixes haven't been defeated since their establishment, so don't worry about it......"

"That's not going to work!" Princess Changle's voice had just landed, but Gongzi Yu on the side couldn't wait to interrupt Princess Changle's words, "Your Majesty, princess, the ministers went out to serve, but no one came back to report the news." When did the steppenwolf ride become so powerful? This obviously doesn't make sense. ”

"Gongzi Yu, if you have something to say, don't beat around the bush!" Princess Changle glared at her phoenix eyes, and an aura instantly roared towards Gongzi Yu like a wild beast.

"Yes!" Gongzi Yu trembled slightly, obviously he was also a strict wife, "The minister thought that it was definitely not Allah Khan's wolf rider who could wipe out the scouts without knowing it, and the minister suspected that the Immortal Heavenly Palace had joined the war." Even...... The Heavenly Venerables of the Immortal Heavenly Palace have all joined the battle!"

As soon as the words landed, even Mo Wuxian, who had always been conceited, had a trace of solemnity. Gently returning to his seat, Mo Wuji's eyebrows wrinkled even more. Gently raised his hand, "Gongziyu, you get up." Analyze how Allah is going to fight and how are we going to deal with it?"

"Your Majesty, you know that you will win all battles, and your minister now knows nothing about Allah's intentions, so you can't make a judgment. Therefore, the minister thinks that we should deal with this battle with all our might.

Hulu's vanguard army was stationed thirty miles away, apparently waiting for the main force of Allah Khan. But how many troops Allah Khan attacked, and whether they took Liangzhou directly or on two fronts?

But in any case, we have to be prepared for both. The minister reckoned that this vanguard was the first force of Allah. Because Liangzhou is weak, it is obvious that they want to pull out the nail of the sheep's head fort as soon as possible. It is only after the plan fails that they adjust their tactics.

The minister suggested that Princess Changle lead 3,000 phoenixes back to Xuanzhou to garrison, because once they are defeated at Yangtou Fort, it is very likely that they will turn around and take Xuanzhou directly, and then march north from Tongsha Castle and surround Yangtou Fort behind us.

So compared to the sheep's head fort, Tongsha Castle is just as important!"
