She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

“Your Highness, Lord Zhong is right, you lead the army, we will go first.

An army of more than 80,000 people has no commander, and without His Highness, the advance will be even slower.

The troops we're bringing with us were transferred from the local areas to Beijing, so their organization and coordination are somewhat lacking. We need someone who can keep things under control." Shangguan Ziqi disapproved of him following suit.

For safety reasons, he couldn't let the eldest prince rush to the front.

"Besides, the Third Prince is also at the front line right now, so it's even more inappropriate for you to show up at the border so soon. Let me go and take a look at the situation, and then I'll write to you. That way you can adapt to the situation." Shangguan Ziqi continued to analyze.

The eldest prince frowned and thought for a moment before nodding.

Shangguan Ziqi discussed with several commanders and made arrangements for the next march. These commanders were all trained by Prince Rong, but they had previously held low positions and were promoted to this position for the reinforcement.

Everyone follows the lead of the coach and just obeys his orders.

The next day, Shangguan Ziqi assembled 15,000 cavalrymen, and each of them packed five days' worth of dry food in a sack.

Then they marched forward day and night.

The daily limit for infantry is no more than 80 miles. In contrast, cavalry is like the wind and can gallop more than 200 miles in a day.

As the team moved north, the scenes along the way became more and more worrying.

Fleeing people, like fallen leaves, can be seen everywhere, their eyes filled with uncertainty and fear about the future.

In just one year, cities fell one after another, like a domino effect.

In the cities behind the border, the people had to pack up their simple bags, bring their elderly and children, and embark on an unknown journey of escape.

Their faces were filled with reluctance and helplessness, but they had no choice but to seek a glimmer of hope in this chaotic world.

When the army came rushing in, the fleeing people consciously made way.

They knew that this was an army coming to reinforce them and was their hope.

After the army passes, the people will gather again and pass on their faint beliefs to each other.

"Are these the cavalry supporting the front line?" A middle-aged man watched the cavalry go by.

"Yes, I estimate there are about 2 people. I don't know if such a small number of people can stop Canglan's cavalry?" said an old man next to him.

"I heard that it was Prince Ziqi of Prince Rong's Mansion who led the army himself. He is much more capable than Prince Zishu and will definitely be able to stop them." Another old man with some experience sighed.

Displacement is a cruel reality that no one wants to face.

When war ravages their homes, it is estimated that nothing will be left.

It was unknown when they would be able to return. Everyone held a strong wish in their hearts that the Great Wei would win.

Shangguan Ziqi led 15,000 cavalrymen and traveled during the day and rested at night, finally arriving at Jinhe City on the eighth day.

According to the battle report he had received earlier, the border troops had retreated to Jinjiang City in front of Jinhe City.

Everyone was exhausted after these days of traveling. They slept in the open air, traveled day and night, just to get to the front line as quickly as possible.

Zhong Weiliang, a scholar, is now exhausted and limp like a pile of mud, but he persists. He also has a heart to serve his country. At the same time, he also wants to add some color to his career through this expedition so that he can give Shangguan Ru and her daughter a better life in the future.

We're about to enter the city.

It was noon, and everyone needed to replenish their food, and the horses also needed to rest, eat grass and drink water.

This place is right next to a small river and there is a small hill next to it.

In spring, there is a lot of grass.

"Rest here." Shangguan Ziqi gave the order.

The team behind also stopped.

Shangguan Ziqi arranged two more people to go to the front to investigate the situation.

He took out some dry food and chewed it hard.

Zhong Weiliang limped to the river to wash.

As a result, when he stood up, he lost his balance and one of his feet sank into the sand by the river. He was able to get out only with the help of a soldier.

Come and sit next to Shangguan Ziqi.

His thighs were rubbed so hard that they hurt, and wrapping them with cloth several times didn't help.

"Prince, General Chen has followed Prince Rong for many years and should be a veteran. The Emperor has sent 300,000 troops. Why is it so difficult to fight?" Zhong Weiliang had never been to the battlefield before, so he took things for granted.

"We have few ironwares in the Great Wei Kingdom, and the weapons of our soldiers are not as sophisticated as those of the Canglan Kingdom. Our soldiers are generally short in stature, which puts us at a disadvantage in battle. Our war horses are not as strong as the northern breeds." Shangguan Ziqi said lightly.

Even his height is not very tall, just over five feet.

"If we want to win, we can only rely on tactics." Zhong Weiliang sighed.

He knew everything the prince said, but he just said it for the sake of conversation.

"Master Zhong, do you have any good ideas?" Shangguan Ziqi asked casually.

"I can't say I have a good plan. I haven't seen the map of the border yet. Let's discuss it in detail after we meet up with the border troops." Although Zhong Weiliang had a lot of ideas in his mind, without understanding the actual situation, it was just nonsense.

Everyone had rested enough, the horses had eaten their fill, and they were ready to set off. This place was only about ten miles from Jinhe City.

At this time, three riders came running from a distance.

Two of them were sent by Shangguan Ziqi to investigate the situation in Jinhe City.

As the three men approached, they pulled the reins of their horses.

"Greetings, Your Highness. The Canglan Army is currently engaged in combat with our army and has already captured Jinjiang City. They are now chasing our army towards Jinhe City." The soldier who followed immediately reported as he dismounted from his horse.

"What's going on in Jinhe City?" Shangguan Ziqi asked.

"General Chen has left General Guo with 50,000 men to guard Jinhejin. Most of them are now at the north gate and are preparing to go to provide support."

"Everyone listen up, get on your horses and set off." Shangguan Ziqi gave the order.

Fifteen thousand men rode forward with great momentum.

They soon arrived at the city gate. When the guards saw that they were reinforcements, they immediately opened the gate.

Shangguan Ziqi took the lead and led his troops through the city without any pause.

There were no people walking in the streets at all. They must have all fled.

As they approached the north gate, they shouted from afar, "Open the gate."

General Guo, the defender of Jinhe City, had already known that the prince had arrived. Seeing how fast they were running, he knew that they wanted to lead their troops directly out of the city, so he immediately ordered the city gates to be opened.

He also led his troops to follow.

He wanted to report the current situation to Shangguanziqi but it was too late.

When Shangguan Ziqi led 15,000 cavalrymen to march about ten miles, they saw many Wei soldiers running towards them.

This is a retreat.

Shangguan Ziqi immediately ordered the cavalry behind him to separate into two sides and let the infantry retreat from the middle.

Then continue forward against the current.

When the retreating soldiers saw so many cavalry coming to support them, they immediately stopped and turned back.

When he ran to the back, Shangguan Ziqi saw the Canglan cavalry chasing the Wei soldiers, hacking and killing them all the way.

Several generals of the Wei Dynasty also led several small teams of cavalry to block the enemy at the rear, buying time for the infantry to retreat.

Some generals were so blood-thirsty that they refused to fall off their horses even after being stabbed several times, and insisted on attacking the enemy generals.

General Chen was commanding the army to retreat.

Among them, Shangguan Zishu was at the rear, facing three enemies alone. Judging from the enemy's armor, it was known that they were mid-level generals.

He was already covered in blood.

Whether it was his or the enemy's was unknown.

But the spear in his hand continued to swing.

Just as he stabbed an enemy general in the chest with his spear, another enemy general's spear followed.

When he pulled the gun out of the enemy and tried to block, it was too late. The bullet pierced his lower back.

This scene happened to be seen by Shangguan Ziqi.
