Chapter 752 Long Live the Emperor! (22)
Two years later, the garrison stationed near the Yueqing Mountains of Cong Kingdom sent a secret message to Yu Muhuai.

Reports indicate that the Jian Kingdom's army is making unusual movements and is approaching the Yueqing Mountains.

The Yueqing Mountains are an important pass in the northern region.

The mountain range is rugged, with continuous towering peaks and jagged rocks.

Due to its geographical location, the north experiences lower temperatures. The temperature at the summit of the Yueqing Mountains remains below zero year-round.

Due to its unique topography, the Yueqing Mountains became a natural barrier for the northern region of Cong Kingdom to block foreign enemies.

In the northwest of Cong Kingdom, the army of Jian Kingdom is eyeing the region covetously, while in the northeast, peasant uprising armies are stirring.

Fortunately, the Cong Kingdom still has several formidable generals.

The main force consisted of the Mo'an Iron Cavalry commanded by Duan Kui in the Northwest and the Qin Family Army led by Qin Hansheng in the Northeast.

The Yueqing Mountains are located in the area between the northwest and northeast.

This made the Yueqing Mountains a central hub, a place that should have been heavily guarded, but because of its extremely harsh and dangerous environment, no troops were stationed nearby in the previous life.

In ancient times, wars always required the capture of cities.

When foreign enemies invade, it's basically a snowball effect, with cities along a certain attack route being swallowed up one by one in the order of attack.

If there are multiple routes of attack, then multiple generals will lead the attack, each attacking one route, and finally converge at the destination to capture the most important city in the area, which is usually the imperial city.

It's not that no one has tried to bypass a stubbornly held city and head directly to the next target.

However, this can easily cause a problem.

If the enemy bypasses City A and attempts to attack City B, they will easily find themselves attacked from both sides.

With City B in front, a target that urgently needs to be conquered, and City A behind, ready to cooperate with the army of City B at any time.

Furthermore, as the attacking force, the army would have to undertake a long-distance raid, leaving them exhausted and needing to carry large quantities of provisions.

Unlike AB City, where the food supplies were already well-stocked.

If City A were to cut off our food supply at this point, and then join forces with City B to attack from both sides, the enemy would be left isolated and without support.

However, throughout history, there have been instances of armies acting recklessly, bypassing outer cities.

However, such actions are usually aimed at reaching the heart of the territory.

For example, the imperial city where the emperor resided, or the occupation of a crucial military stronghold.

If the target is the imperial city, and if we can take it by surprise and concentrate our firepower to capture it before reinforcements arrive, then we can use the emperor's safety as leverage to seize victory.

If the target is a strategic military town, although it is not as dangerous as the imperial city, it is still possible to coordinate with external troops to launch a counter-encirclement.

In the previous life, the cunning and ruthless Jian Kingdom army did exactly that.

Due to the treacherous terrain and harsh environment of the Yueqing Mountains, no one in the previous life would have imagined that enemy troops would dare to cross them as if their lives depended on it.

In the northwest, there was a defensive line built by Duan Kui, which was very solid. Even though the Cong Kingdom had been declining for a long time, it did not affect the stability of the northwest defense line.

The Jian Kingdom spent over twenty years here without making a breakthrough, so in the end they took a risk and chose a path that no ordinary person would have thought of.

This place is remote and has harsh weather, so it has always been quiet and peaceful.

Therefore, there are no troops stationed or defending the area near the Yueqing Mountains.

At that time, the Jian Kingdom army took an unexpected and risky step, which was to climb over the mountain, a move that seemed to risk their lives.

Ten years after Wan Zhixin ascended the throne, and seven years after he killed Ping Qinian, the Jian Kingdom army launched a surprise attack.

The armies of northern nomadic peoples were not as afraid of the cold as those from the Central Plains. A group of charging troops, each carrying several days' worth of rations, began their ascent to the summit with an indomitable and fearless spirit.

The general leading the team this time was Timucheng, the most famous and bravest warrior of Jian Kingdom.

Timucheng was not only agile and physically strong, but also had first-class command and troop-leading abilities.

And he has a very wolf-like nature on the grasslands.

Fierce and willing to fight to the death.

This battle, which involved traversing mountains and valleys, was proposed by him, and he set an example of fighting to the death, which led to its success.

The Jian Kingdom soldiers who finally crossed the Yueqing Mountains numbered less than two-thirds of the previous number.

However, for border towns, this is still a considerable number.

Those who managed to climb over it all carried an air of fighting to the death.

The town closest to the Yueqing Mountains is Yuyao Town.

In her previous life, Wan Zhixin received the news that when Timucheng's army launched a night attack on Yuyao Town, it happened to be the birthday of an important official.

That night, the main officials and soldiers of Yuyao Town were celebrating the birthday of the celebrant, and most of them got completely drunk.

It's really just bad luck that Yuyao Town ran into a group of demons who seemed to have come from hell.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jian Guo's army captured Yuyao Town in one fell swoop.

They also carried out a brutal massacre, slaughtering both soldiers and ordinary civilians of the Cong Kingdom.

In this way, all the grain in Yuyao Town belonged to the Jian Kingdom army, and they would not need to worry about supplies for a period of time afterward.

Yuyao Town is a vital border town. Taking Yuyao Town is equivalent to taking the most important pass in the north, blocking the support of reinforcements from both the east and west.

This left Duan Kui's Mo'an cavalry isolated and helpless.

After that, the Jian Kingdom army outside the border cooperated with the Yuyao Town army to surround the Mo'an Iron Cavalry inside.

Meanwhile, peasant rebels in the northeast, having received the news, also launched a large-scale uprising.

The two most serious threats to the Cong Kingdom suddenly launched attacks simultaneously, plunging the kingdom into an unprecedented crisis.

It was in this battle that Duan Kui, the pillar of the northwestern border and commander of the Mo'an Iron Cavalry, unfortunately died on the battlefield.

Upon receiving this news, Wan Zhixin burst into tears in the imperial court.

After that, several of Cong's most important generals sacrificed themselves for the country, and Cong had fewer and fewer capable people left.

This battle was the most important one that foreshadowed the demise of the Cong Kingdom.

For the next three years, Cong suffered most defeats in his battles.

They occasionally won minor victories, which gave Cong Kingdom some breathing room, but soon they would suffer another major defeat.

It can be said that allowing Jian Kingdom to cross the Yueqing Mountains and take Yuyao Town would mark the beginning of Cong Kingdom's countdown.

Having learned from his previous life's memories and lessons, Yu Muhuai began a preventative plan after gaining some power.

She needs to prevent the Yueqing Mountains from becoming a breakthrough point.

Therefore, Yu Muhuai organized a force early on to guard the vicinity of the Yueqing Mountains.
