On the top of the Yanzhou City Tower, Yu Yalan and her brother watched the army set out for battle.

One hundred thousand elite soldiers and generals marched towards Qinxi's border town with mighty momentum.

Song Xi, who leads the troops, is wearing silver armor, with a golden mask hiding his true appearance. The strong, sweat-stained black horse is heroic, carrying the brave and invincible commander to the battlefield.

Yu Yalan looked at his retreating figure, her watery eyes under the curtain were full of reluctance and tenderness. She had experienced such a scene many times, but this time it was the battle she was most worried about.

"May you be safe and successful and return victorious."

The woman's soft murmur drifted away with a gust of breeze. Although they were far apart, her deep affection could not be concealed.

The husband who went on the expedition did not look back, but the handsome face under the mask evoked a slight arc. Even though the team was far away from the city gate, he could still feel his wife's gentle blessing.

"I will be back soon, Lan'er."

Song Xi raised his hand to cover his excited heart, and Qing Yue made a promise in a low voice.

The contract of the same heart connects them to each other in life and death, and even the other party's mood can be vaguely felt.

He is sure of winning this battle and will never let his wife and children wait too long.

Yu Yalan on the tower seemed to have the same feeling, pressing her heart with a sweet smile.

Yu Hongxuan looked at his sister who was looking into the distance, patted her shoulder and comforted her: "This is the only way for a hidden dragon to ascend to the sky. I'm afraid we will face more complicated wars in the future. We must learn to adjust our moods. We can't live day by day."

I’m wearing myself out with sadness.”

Yu Yalan withdrew her gaze, nodded gently and said, "I understand, it's just that I'm a little emotionally unstable right now. Go back, there are a lot of things that haven't been dealt with yet."

The two siblings turned around and walked down the tower, riding the carriage back to the villa.

From today on, they must protect their homes so that their families on the front lines can fight with peace of mind.

…

In the thirteenth year of Yuanfeng, late winter.

North Town Fusi Luo Yiming and Longxi Du Commander Cheng Jun led 150,000 troops to put down the rebellion.

The two men led troops to attack from the two major cities at the junction of Longxi and Qinxi respectively, and they were high-spirited and prepared to capture the Song rebels.

Song Xi led 60,000 soldiers to fight against Luo Yiming at Jingting Mansion, while Dai Guansheng and the remaining 40,000 troops defended Chengjun at Baohua Mansion.

There are two major battlefields, one in the north and one in the south, but the battle situation is equally fierce and tense.

Under Luo Yiming's command were 10,000 elite troops brought from the capital, and 80,000 local garrison troops from Longxi. Both were high-quality combat teams, and they also had a considerable advantage in terms of numbers.

Although Cheng Jun only had 70,000 soldiers and horses, he had rich combat experience and had geographical advantages. In terms of numbers, he also overwhelmed the weak Dai Guansheng. He did have a certain chance of winning if he wanted to invade Baohua Mansion.

This war seemed to have a huge disparity in military strength, so the two generals also held a lot of expectations and confidence. Unfortunately, they had slight differences in the specific battle plan. Even with their different opinions, they were unwilling to obey the other's command.

Luo Yiming has a cautious character and believes that Qin Xi's rebel forces are very unusual. This battle should be tested first, and after he has figured out the enemy's details and weaknesses, he can then plan a targeted siege plan based on the intelligence.

If it is confirmed that the enemy's leader is Song Xi, then they will have to ask the court for additional reinforcements. The other party's ability to sneak into the capital to kill the prince and then escape unscathed shows that both his martial arts and his character have grown to a terrifying level.

, will add many unknown variables to this war.

Cheng Jun had completely different ideas. He believed that Qinxi's border town should be captured quickly and decisively, first beating the opponent into panic, and then slowly understanding the situation of the rebels during the battle.

He had been guarding the border in the northwest for many years and had his own unique insights into warfare. Although this experience was gained from the Tatars, it did not prevent him from using it in the counter-insurgency war within the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Cheng Jun despised Beizhen Fusi's timid and stingy style. These Tiqi with weird abilities were only good at investigation and interrogation, and they couldn't possibly know more about war than him.

Even if the rebel leader is really the fugitive Song Xi, there is nothing to be afraid of. Dingbeihou is indeed brave and good at fighting and strategizing, but his second son does not have much combat experience.

To be able to steal power from Qin Xi and Ping Liang was probably through some weird means, and it was absolutely impossible to achieve it by relying on one's own combat power.

Luo Yiming was very dissatisfied with Cheng Jun's negligence and underestimated the enemy, and repeatedly reminded him of Song Xi's danger and extraordinary strength.

Cheng Jun couldn't stand his nagging, so he gave him the chance to fight Song Xi.

"Since you are so afraid of the Song family boy, then you should be responsible for attacking Jingting Mansion, and the majority of the troops will be given to you. You can tell at a glance whether he is weak or strong! You, Beizhen Fusi, are suspicious all day long.

, and what tricks did you find out in the end?"

Cheng Jun took the opportunity to make a few sarcastic remarks, secretly waiting for him to show his cowardice and make a mistake.

Compared to the fledgling son of the Song family, Beizhen Fusi was truly feared. He could leapfrog and kill court officials at the slightest clue. One could not help but be frightened when working with such a person.

In the end, the two generals broke up on bad terms and each went his own way to lead troops to counter the rebellion. Even though they knew rationally that they should not leave the battle, time was tight and they did not allow them to slowly get along.

Fortunately, although there are differences in the combat plans, the combat objectives are always the same. Achieving victory is more important than anything else, so everyone can just implement it according to their own ideas.

Neither Cheng Jun nor Luo Yiming expected at this time that the terrifying combat power of the Song family army had already exceeded their imagination. The equipment and weapons alone had advanced by hundreds of years. It was no problem to defeat the large number with less.

When Song Xi learned about the military strength of the imperial court, there was no disturbance. It seemed that it didn't matter how many soldiers and horses the other party sent. The Fire Gun Corps had arrived on the frontline battlefield. Sixteen cannons were guarding the border of western Qin. Anyone who dared to invade would be dead.

One way, he can calmly wait to receive the inevitable victory.

Of course, holding hot weapons does not mean that he will be careless and underestimate the enemy. The main method of this war is still to use cold weapons.

He promised Lan'er that he would not abuse firearms for mass destruction unless there was an emergency in the war.

In order to win the war, he has studied many battle plans, and some mysterious formations will also be used this time.

Luo Yiming and Cheng Jun are both enemies worthy of being taken seriously, and he will make good use of every battle to hone his commanding abilities.

As soon as the Song family's army arrived at Jingting Mansion, Song Xi immediately began to plan the battle strategy. When he learned that the enemy general happened to be Luo Yiming, who was born in Fusi, Beizhen, he immediately sent secret guards to find out what strange abilities the opponent had.
