Chapter 668: Attack the Northern Capital Royal Court Again

Ning Chen stayed at Beilin Pass for two days, replenished his food and ammunition, and then led his army to attack the Beidu Royal Court.

This was his second attack on the Beidu Royal Court.

Last time, he captured Zuo Ting Wang alive, but in the end, he released him because Tuo Luo surrendered.

The result was that within a year, Tuo Luo unilaterally tore up the surrender treaty.

This time, he wanted Tuo Luo to not even have the chance to surrender.

After a quick march, he met Liang Jingwu fifty miles away from the Beidu Royal Court seven or eight days later.

Liang Jingwu led his men to pay homage.

Ning Chen is now the Grand Marshal of the Great Xuan Army, and Liang Jingwu is only a third-rank general.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

Ning Chen dismounted, helped Liang Jingwu up, and said with a smile: "General Liang, we are old acquaintances, no need to be so polite!"

"Thanks to you this time, you have tied down the forces of the Beidu Royal Court, preventing the Tuo Luo Kingdom from sending troops to support Xiliang."

Liang Jingwu asked curiously: "Your Highness, how is the war in Xiliang?"

He has been tying down the forces of the Beidu Royal Court recently, and is not in Beilin Pass, so the news is blocked.

Ning Chen smiled and said: "Xiliang has surrendered, presented a surrender letter, and bowed to Daxuan!"

Liang Jingwu was shocked at first, and then he was in awe. He didn't expect Ning Chen to really defeat Xiliang.

Suddenly, Liang Jingwu bowed deeply to Ning Chen!

Ning Chen reached out to help him up, pretending to be puzzled and asked: "What is General Liang doing?"

In fact, he knew that Liang Jingwu bowed because of his daughter-in-law and grandson.

Liang Jingwu said with gratitude: "My daughter-in-law had a difficult birth that day. Thanks to the prince, they were safe and the Liang family was kept alive... I have no way to repay you. In the future, as long as the prince says a word, I will go through fire and water."

Ning Chen smiled and said: "So that's what happened. General Liang, don't take it to heart... In public, you are guarding Beilin Pass and are a meritorious minister. In private, you and I are comrades-in-arms. So, when your family is in trouble, how can I stand by and watch?"

"Okay, let's stop being hypocritical... Tell me about the situation in the Beidu Wangting."

Ning Chen ordered the army to stay where they were.

He came to Liang Jingwu's tent.

Liang Jingwu said: "Your Majesty, the person in charge of the Beidu Royal Court is still Zuo Ting Wang. Some time ago, the Beidu Royal Court stationed 30,000 troops, and now another 30,000 troops have been added."

Ning Chen nodded slightly, "Does that mean the Beidu Royal Court now has 60,000 troops?"

"Yes! According to my observation, they will attack us in the next few days... If Your Majesty doesn't come, I plan to retreat 50 miles tomorrow."

The order he received was to contain the Beidu Royal Court's troops and not to confront them head-on... If they advance, I will retreat.

Ning Chen thought for a moment.

"General Liang, go and notify Yuan Long and Qi Yuanzhong, let them prepare immediately, and attack the Beidu Royal Court in an hour!"

Liang Jingwu was a little shocked, but the military order was like a mountain, and he leaned over to accept the order: "Yes, I will arrange it right away!"

Ning Chen originally planned to let the soldiers have a good rest for a night and send troops tomorrow.

But he was worried that Zuo Ting Wang would get the news and run away overnight.

He now has 90,000 troops, while the Beidu Royal Court has only 60,000, and the King of Zuoting has suffered a loss at his hands... If he gets the news, he may run away overnight.

An hour later, the army assembled.

Ning Chen led the army and attacked the Beidu Royal Court.

Attacking Tuoluo is much easier than Xiliang, because Tuoluo is composed of countless grassland tribes. They have no cities, and the so-called royal court is just a felt tent.

Moreover, Tuoluo is not good at production and its weapons are backward.

Of course, they have many strengths, such as their riding and archery, which are far superior to the Daxuan soldiers. Moreover, Tuoluo people are tall and cruel by nature. If they want to kill a Tuoluo soldier, they often exchange two for one or three for one.

The most difficult thing about Tuoluo is that they are nomadic people. The cavalry is fast, and they can run away if they can't beat them... If you go deep into the grassland, you can't find them.

However, in front of muskets and artillery, all beings are equal, and they all die.

......

Beidu Royal Court.

In the yurt, King Zuo Ting was holding a sharp scimitar and cutting meat from a roasted lamb leg.

He was so happy with a mouthful of meat and a mouthful of wine.

He was in a bad mood recently.

Because the 40,000 soldiers of Daxuan were stationed 50 miles away.

At that time, he only had 30,000 soldiers, but it was not impossible to fight... The reason why he didn't fight was because he was worried that the soldiers of Daxuan had muskets.

Ning Chen led a thousand people to attack the Beidu Royal Court at that time and defeated his 7,000 troops with muskets... So, he had a shadow on muskets.

But now, the Royal Court sent another 30,000 soldiers.

Now he has 60,000 troops. Even if the soldiers of Daxuan have muskets, it is impossible for everyone to have one... He is sure to swallow the 40,000 troops led by Liang Jingwu.

King Zuo Ting's mood suddenly brightened.

He decided to sneak attack the Daxuan camp tomorrow night, catch them off guard, swallow Liang Jingwu's 40,000 troops, and avenge the fact that he was captured alive by Ning Chen.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation!"

A dull voice like thunder sounded outside the tent.

Zuo Ting Wang was startled and said in a deep voice: "Come in!"

A two-meter-tall strong man opened the curtain and walked in.

Yi Li A Han, the number one general under Zuo Ting Wang, is also a famous general of Tuo Luo State.

It was this man who led the troops to attack Beilin Pass.

Yi Li A Han leaned forward and clasped his fists, "Your Majesty, Da Xuan suddenly mobilized troops and came straight to us."

Zuo Ting Wang was shocked, "How dare they?"

"According to the scouts' report, Liang Jingwu's troops have doubled, about 80,000 to 90,000 people... It seems that Daxuan has sent support, which has given Liang Jingwu confidence."

King Zuo Ting hurriedly asked: "Who is the leader?"

"It's still Liang Jingwu!"

King Zuo Ting breathed a sigh of relief... That's right, that damn Ning Chen is now fighting in Xiliang, what is he afraid of?

"How far are Daxuan's troops from us?"

"Less than 20 miles."

"There's still time, gather troops and prepare for battle... This time, we must make sure that Daxuan's idiots have no way back!"

"Yes!"

King Zuo Ting is still very capable and quickly formulated a battle plan.

.......

Ning Chen led his troops to approach the Beidu Royal Court.

From a distance, the endless felt tents were seen.

"King Zuo Ting's reaction is not slow!"

In the crowd, Ning Chen was wearing an ordinary soldier's armor... He was afraid that the scouts of King Zuo Ting would find him and scare King Zuo Ting away.

Qi Yuanzhong observed the troops of Tuoluo Kingdom and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Tuoluo Kingdom has less than 60,000 troops. It seems that your guess is right!"

Ning Chen's mouth curled up. There are only a few tactics in the grassland. It is not difficult to guess.

He glanced at the hills on both sides and sneered with disdain... There must be soldiers hidden behind the hills on both sides.

Once the two sides start fighting, the troops on both sides will rush out and cut off the connection between the shield soldiers and archers... He used this trick in Xiliang not long ago.
