With a direction in mind, the An Yue army's rapid marching force traveled for half a month and soon met up with several people in a ruined city-state.

Emperor Qian recovered some of his strength and began to call upon some of his remaining hidden agents in his own way.

Within the borders of the Qian Kingdom, which was on the verge of collapse, there was indeed a Qian Kingdom elite army of 150,000 hidden.

This elite force of the Qian Kingdom obeys only the orders of the Qian Emperor. Even when the Qian Kingdom was almost destroyed, with mountains of corpses and people suffering, they never showed up!

It's difficult for An Yue to comment on this; one can only say that they are slightly wary.

With 150,000 elite troops surrounding Emperor Qian, he once again regained his imperial demeanor.

The first target of the Qian Kingdom's elite army was not the Xu Kingdom's army, which was plundering everywhere within its borders, but the Qian Kingdom's capital.

To repel external threats, one must first secure internal stability.

As long as the prime minister remains in power, the morale of the army in the Qian Kingdom will never be unified.

Zhao Wanjun originally wanted to follow Emperor Qian in his campaign to retake the capital, but in the end she gave up the idea.

It's just infighting within the Qian family, a case of people fighting each other.

She didn't want to participate, nor did she want to watch.

Even if An Yue Fang releases the message that he supports Emperor Qian's rule, if the ministers of Qian Guo insist on resisting, An Yue's army will help Emperor Qian quell the rebellion.

This is a way of putting pressure on that prime minister from afar.

The already turbulent capital city became even more tense and anxious.

Many officials began to have their own ulterior motives.

The prime minister's position of power was instantly in jeopardy.

He only managed to seize power after sending assassins to kill Emperor Qian and causing the emperor's disappearance.

At this moment, Emperor Qian appeared and raised his arm to call out; coupled with An Yue's pressure, the winds in the capital shifted instantly.

Wang Xiangchen was clearly unwilling to surrender.

Emperor Qian led his elite troops in a major battle against the rebel army in the capital.

During the journey, some Xu Kingdom cavalrymen discovered the tracks of Emperor Qian's army.

However, Xu Guo chose to stand aside and watch the show.

The internal war in Qianlong is tantamount to depleting its own military strength.

Why wouldn't they be happy to do it?

As for An Yue's reinforcements, the people of Xu Kingdom did not pay them any attention.

It's just a small, unheard-of country.

The so-called elite troops are nothing but a laughable joke.

Once the Xu Kingdom cavalry charges in a few rounds, these elite An Yue soldiers will probably be routed!

The Xu Kingdom cavalry even took this opportunity to accelerate their sieges and territorial expansion.

They invaded all the way to the heartland of the Qian Kingdom.

Some adventurous Xu Kingdom cavalry even crossed the border and reached the western part of Qian Kingdom, where they came across the desolate land adjacent to An Yue.

Seeing that the desolate land was vast and barren, and that the An Yue Kingdom was on high alert in the An Shan region behind it, they turned around.

Emperor Qian successfully regained power.

Under the prestige of legitimacy, Wang Xiangchen did not struggle for long before being stabbed to death by his own confidant.

Compared to the fierce and ruthless ministers, the king's subordinates were more willing to believe in the benevolent Emperor Qian.

At this point, a backstab would still be considered a meritorious act, offering a glimmer of hope for survival.

If the Qian Emperor's army were to storm the palace, it would be no use for these people to chop the Prime Minister into mincemeat!

After Emperor Qian regained power, he did not immediately kill all the rebels.

Instead, they were exiled to the most dangerous passes where the battle with the Xu Kingdom was most intense.

"If the rebel army returns victorious with the heads of Xu Kingdom cavalry, I will forgive their past transgressions!"

Emperor Qian set the tone with a single sentence.

The fearful rebels finally had a glimmer of hope.

Going to the battlefield to fight the Xu people is better than being directly beheaded!

There was no time to rebuild the imperial prestige. Seeing the people suffering terribly from the ravages of war, Emperor Qian was heartbroken.

He was always kind and compassionate; how could he bear to see the people suffer such calamities from war?

Emperor Qian was furious. With a single order, most of the Qian Kingdom's military force was sent to the front lines!

An Yue's army cooperated promptly.

At Ji Xiu's command, the An Yue army and the Qian Kingdom army swept through the territory at the same time, forcing the Xu Kingdom cavalry to retreat, and then pressed towards the border!

This battle is unavoidable, but it cannot be fought within the territory of the Qian Kingdom!

This is an unspoken understanding between the two armies that requires no communication.

Neither Emperor Qian nor An Yue wanted the land of Qian to be shrouded in the smoke of war and stained with blood!

With both armies exerting their combined strength, the small, wandering cavalry units were quickly driven to the border.

Beyond the most magnificent border of the Qian Kingdom, the Xu Kingdom's million-strong army stretched as far as the eye could see, seemingly without end.

If not unwilling to suffer too many casualties, the Xu Kingdom could have destroyed the Qian Kingdom in three days if it had gone all out.

Of course, Xu Kingdom didn't want to go to the trouble of destroying Qian Kingdom.

The goal of the Xu Kingdom is to transform the prosperous Qian Kingdom into an impoverished one, and then turn it into a nation of pigs.

At that time, they could take whatever they wanted from the Qian Kingdom.

The war is about to start.

In its first battle, An Yue dispatched 100,000 troops, along with 200,000 troops from the Qian Kingdom, totaling 300,000 men, to charge directly into a vast mountain range as the main battlefield.

On the Xu Kingdom's side, they directly dispatched a well-equipped cavalry army of 100,000.

It appears that the forces dispatched by Xuguo were only one-third of the combined forces of Anqian and Qian.

But those were well-equipped and well-trained cavalry!

The Qian Kingdom has been ravaged by war for a long time, and now it can only muster a mere ten thousand cavalrymen.

An Yue, needless to say, consisted entirely of infantry.

The Anshan region is mostly desert, and the An Yue Kingdom currently has no capacity to train cavalry!

Although the Xu Kingdom may seem to have a small population, its actual combat power is even more ferocious due to the advantage of unit type counters!

The two armies clashed quickly.

The shouts of battle were deafening, countless weapons clashed, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and severed limbs littered the ground.

After only a short while of fierce fighting, the ground was littered with corpses and rivers of blood.

Xu Guofang originally thought that this so-called An Yue was no army that would be easily defeated.

To everyone's surprise, these An Yue soldiers were exceptionally brave.

Not only were the weapons extremely tough and sharp, but their ruthlessness also shocked the Xu Kingdom!

The cavalry charged forward, cutting down An Yue soldiers who fell to the ground. But those who were not yet dead writhed and struggled, trying their best to stop the warhorses.

As soon as the warhorses slowed down slightly, countless spears and lances came piercing through, leaving gaping, bloody holes in the cavalrymen on horseback.

Whenever the cavalry wanted to gather and charge, some of the An Yue soldiers would throw out small round balls.

The sphere exploded, blasting out a cloud of lime powder.

The warhorses either had their eyes burned by lime powder or lost their sense of direction and dared not charge.

At this point, many An Yue soldiers would rush up, covering their mouths and noses, and start hacking and slashing wildly.

Of course, cavalry ultimately had too many advantages over infantry.

Not to mention that the Xu Kingdom's cavalry were well-equipped, had meat at every meal, and were all strong and healthy.

Too many soldiers were knocked away by warhorses, trampled by hooves, or pierced by cavalry spears, becoming cold corpses on the ground.

After a round of fighting, the Xu Kingdom cavalry suffered only a few thousand casualties.

However, more than 20,000 soldiers from An Yue and Qian Kingdom were killed or wounded!

After a brief standoff, the two sides charged into battle again.

"kill!"

Both sides screamed and fought desperately.

This great battle lasted for three days.

On the An Yue and Qian Guo side, a total of 300,000 troops were dispatched, but only 90,000 remained.

Of the 100,000 elite cavalrymen dispatched by Xu Kingdom, more than 30,000 remain.

Two hundred and one thousand people were exchanged for seventy thousand.

This cannot be described as killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of your own.

This is a battle that has already resulted in complete losses.

The advantages that can be gained from equipping oneself with warhorses are truly significant.

Behind the Xu Kingdom, the emperor's crown was studded with pearls and jade, exuding an air of nobility.

"My elite cavalry cannot be sacrificed for their lives!"

"Order the cavalry to retreat, and the Xu Kingdom's Long Serpent Army to attack!"

The emperor of Xu Kingdom was heartbroken by the loss of his cavalry.

He had spent many years training 300,000 iron cavalrymen, hoping to prevent a larger invasion by other countries.

Seventy thousand were lost just to fight these two backward little countries!

A heavily armored army, exuding a menacing aura and with fierce expressions, marched out from the Xu Kingdom's side in a square formation.

On An Yue's side, Ji Xiu clearly sensed the special nature of this enemy force and quickly replaced the wounded soldiers.

"Have General Fan, the veteran commander on the left flank of the main force, withdraw and discuss matters with me!"

The battlefield was too large, so each general and deputy general was assigned a region and led a team to fight against the enemy.

Seeing the heavy casualties suffered by An Yue's left flank, the enemy's heavily armored troops were clearly going to press their advantage and advance from the left flank.

On the left flank, the infantry led by General Fan of An Yuefang had already suffered heavy casualties and were no longer fit to fight a heavily armored army head-on.

Someone reports from ahead:

"Breaking News!"

"General Fan led from the front, single-handedly killing dozens of cavalrymen, and died of exhaustion three quarters of an hour ago!"

Ji Xiu closed her eyes and sighed. When she opened them again, her face was full of determination.

"The other generals each have their own defensive lines..."

"Then, I will be on top!"
