At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

"Thank you very much for the reward, Marshal!" Tuoba Weiwei's eyes were excited and she responded immediately with great respect.

Although the Tuoba tribe was famous in the Mobei grasslands, they have been...

The Tuoba tribe's territory could only be occupied on the western border of the Mobei grassland.

During this period, the Tuoba tribe repeatedly tried to obtain territories with more abundant water and grass, but each time, without exception, they were repelled by the united forces of other tribes.

And now, they finally have a piece of land where they can truly recuperate!

The reputation of the Heshuo grassland is quite famous even in the Mobei grassland.

"No need to thank me, you deserve this."

Xia Yun smiled and nodded.

He had a feeling ever since he came into contact with the Tuoba tribe.

Although the Tuoba tribe is indeed known for killing, the entire tribe, from top to bottom, is quite trustworthy.

This can be seen from the fact that Tuoba Jinghui dared to enter Changchun City alone!

"General, the central army just received news that they have already started fighting with the barbarian troops in Ji'an. There are currently about 80,000 barbarian troops in Ji'an City."

While Xia Yun was talking to Tuoba Weiwei, Chong Heihu came to Xia Yun in a hurry with a piece of intelligence.

A fight started so soon?

A hint of surprise flashed in Xia Yun's eyes. This was beyond his expectation.

He originally thought that as the imperial army gathered on the northeast battlefield, the barbarian troops should at least retreat two or three hundred miles away.

I didn’t expect that they still left 80,000 defenders in Ji’an City!

Looking at the map, Ji'an is only about sixty or seventy miles away from Changchun.

"Pass on my order. The troops will end their rest and continue along the coastline to implement the infiltration strategy!"

Xia Yun made a prompt decision and stood up from the armchair.

Facing the vast ocean at this moment, Xia Yun gradually realized that something was wrong.

"I will obey your orders!"

Chong Heihu turned around and left Xia Yun. In just a quarter of an hour, the 310,000-strong army that was resting by the sea set off again.

And this time, Xia Yun did not lead 310,000 troops for collective action.

He personally led hundreds of chariots and more than 20,000 elite troops and marched straight towards Ulan City!

"Marshal, at our current speed, I'm afraid that by the time we reach Ulan City, we will have completely lost touch with the armies on the left and center."

While the chariot was driving, Chong Heihu questioned Xia Yun's decision.

"That's natural."

Xia Yun nodded.

He knew very well that neither a man's two legs nor a horse's four legs could outrun a chariot.

Wulan City is the largest city north of Changchun City and also a marginal area in the entire Northeast.

Looking at the map, Ulan City is the gateway to the northern part of the Northeast, and together with Changchun City it forms a north-south convergence.

Under the encirclement of the left-wing army led by Zhao Gongming, if the barbarian troops wanted to retreat from the northeast, their only exit would be Ulan City!

"Warfare is a game of deception. What our army should worry about now is not the mere 380,000 barbarian troops, but the Dune Dynasty in the north!"

"Therefore, our army must seize Ulan City in advance before any accidents happen!"

Xia Yun did not say it too bluntly. What he was worried about at the moment was actually the troops of the Dune Kingdom!

Once the Dune Kingdom occupied Ulan City before them, their encirclement plan on the northeast battlefield would fail.

Although Chong Heihu is a warrior, he is extremely sensitive to the situation on the battlefield.

Therefore, there was no need for Xia Yun to explain, Chong Heihu immediately understood the key to the current situation.

"If those guys from the Dune Kingdom dare to appear in the territory of our Daliang Dynasty, I will make sure they are all buried here!"

Chong Heihu became furious, and an extremely crazy fighting spirit appeared on his face!

……

Time flies by.

In the blink of an eye, two days and two nights had passed since Xiao Yan and Zhao Gongming led the two armies to leave Changchun City.

Early in the morning of that day, Xiao Yan appeared at the foot of Ji'an City, only seven or eight hundred meters away from the city gate.

Xiao Yan was seen holding a telescope in his hand, and through the lens of the telescope, he was carefully watching all the changes on the battlefield.

Since they led their troops to Ji'an, they have been fighting fiercely here for more than thirty hours!

And for more than 30 hours, the army, under the command of Xiao Yan, has been continuously attacking Ji'an City.

"Your Highness, the battle report has just been sent back from the front line. The second battalion of siege troops has lost more than half of its troops. The siege commander Zhang Huaiyi requests Your Highness to dispatch reinforcements."

At this time, a lieutenant general wearing a black helmet and black armor hurriedly came to Xiao Yan's side from the front line, trotting all the way.

"Order the Third Battalion to immediately replace General Zhang Huaiyi and continue the siege offensive!"

Xiao Yan gave the order immediately.

Through the telescope, he naturally saw the soldiers on the front line fighting bloody battles.

With an army of 200,000, attacking a city occupied by only 80,000 barbarian troops, on the surface, the troops led by Xiao Yan had a great advantage.

But in fact, the defenders in Ji'an city climbed up the city wall in wave after wave.

Moreover, the barbarian troops' determination to defend the city completely overturned Xiao Yan's previous understanding of the barbarians.

In his previous impression, the barbarian troops on the Mobei grasslands would often fight if they could win and flee if they couldn't win.

But this time, under his fierce attack day and night, the barbarians not only had no intention of retreating, but instead showed their determination to survive as long as the city survived, or die!

Something is wrong!

Putting down the telescope, Xiao Yan frowned deeply.

"Pass on my order again, dispatch the first two thousand automated troops to assist the third battalion in attacking the city!"

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Yan gave another order.

Before leaving Changchun City, Xia Yun gave him 20,000 automated troops. These 20,000 soldiers were equipped with the most advanced automatic rifles under Xia Yun's command.

Because of this, these 20,000 automated troops became Xiao Yan's most valuable treasure.

If it wasn't for the fact that he had been unable to capture the city after a long siege, he would never have easily sent out the automated troops!

In less than a quarter of an hour, the two thousand automated troops who received the order immediately appeared on the siege position outside the city wall.

For a moment, the sound of fierce gunfire resounded throughout the world!

Dense rain of bullets fell on the city walls, and the barbarian troops, who could only defend the city with bows and arrows, fell in a pool of blood one after another!

After half an hour, the number of barbarian troops on the city wall had dropped by two thirds!

Moreover, the subsequent barbarian reinforcements were unable to climb the city walls at all due to their fear of the dense firepower!

"Brothers, it's time for us to fight to the death! Charge forward!"

At the position below the city wall, the troops of the Third Battalion, which had been hiding behind the bunkers, took advantage of the sharp decrease in the number of enemy troops and immediately issued a charge order!
