More than a month later, Xue Yao followed the reinforcement cavalry and arrived at the border of Beiqiu.
The local garrison had already erected a marching house and a depot for the storage of supplies.
Because the Sixth and Seventh Emperors could not participate in the frontline battles, Xue Yao, who accompanied them, could only stay behind to guard the line.
More than forty miles away from here is the West Road Vanguard Command, already on the west front of the river and across the river from the enemy.
Because she couldn't participate in the war, Xue Yao lost contact with the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince upon her arrival.
The things that should be urged, the road has been recited to the two people countless times, and there is nothing else that needs to be specially explained.
Xue Yao didn't know much about the war, only that Daqi did win in the end, except for the Emperor's ambush, and the other battles were basically won by crushing advantages.
Because of this, the Emperor swelled to the point where he pursued the attack alone and ended up in an ambush at Baeksugul.
The war lasted more than four months, and there is no mention in the original of the exact time period of the Emperor's fall, so there is no way to be sure.
Xue Yao could only remind the Crown Prince to pay attention to Baisu Ditch, a dead zone for soldiers, and especially to the safety of his father, so that he could not allow the Emperor to venture into dangerous territory.
Although Xue Yao, who had no knowledge of military affairs, was relatively unconvincing, the great achievements he had made in raising food and controlling the epidemic made the Crown Prince take his words very seriously, and should have been carefully guarded.
However, during the few days he stayed at the Regiment, the military reports he heard from the front made Xue Yao realize that war is full of all kinds of uncontrollable factors.
The battle plan formulated before the Qi army's departure was intended to encircle without attacking with twice the strength and geographical advantage, first frighten part of the Khitan army, which was claimed to be 200,000, persuade part of it to surrender, and then ultimately annihilate the remnants of it.
However, in reality, plans could not keep up with changes, and within ten days, Xue Yao heard that there was a skirmish on the front lines.
The first to strike was actually a small force of Khitan.
They crossed the river at night to sneak up on the front-line military battalion and fought with the first-line artillery of Daqi.
The Khitan Iron Cavalry did not fear Daqi's twice as many men, the only thing they feared was Daqi's armament force.
The range and lethality of the arms can cause massive attrition to the Khitan before engagement.
The sleeping soldiers of the Daqi military machine battalion awoke with a start, and were briefly slaughtered unilaterally by the Khitan ruler, before they began to fight back valiantly.
The Khitan army, which had been ambushed inside and outside the barracks, had the upper hand, and the artillery soon collapsed.
Desperate military aircraft battalion artillery or in this life and death situation, the danger is not afraid to split into three groups, two groups of people to protect a group. Let a group of soldiers break out to seek help.
Of the two remaining groups, one group fought to the death to buy time, allowing the other group to swoop in and storm the armory, fulfilling their traditional duty as Dazi artillerymen--
Before he died, he smashed the cannons and guns so that they would not be taken by the enemy and attacked us.
By the time the reinforcements from the second front arrived, the Khitan sneak attack force had already retreated in full force, leaving only the Daqi robes and soldiers who had died in battle all over the place.
Thus, the original plan to surround and not attack was completely disrupted.
The soldiers' hatred almost burned across the river, itching to tear those Khitan dogs alive.
The generals who had led the army for years knew that this was the best morale for going to war, and they asked the emperor for orders to fight back.
At this time more than emotion affects the battle plan, rational judgment, the Khitan army specially sneak attack military aircraft camp, it shows that they have a strong intention of war, really ready to meet the war, only to do such a deployment, surrounded and not attack and persuade to surrender to them obviously not very useful.
But even if you are ready to fight, you still have to reorganize your battle plan first.
The emperor's side delayed to issue a new plan, the military aircraft battalion chief soldier Liu Jidong under the command of a small unit of anxious fire, regardless of life to avenge their comrades, even disobeyed the military orders, following the example of the Khitan army in the middle of the night across the river, launched a sneak attack.
But because the Khitan army was prepared for it, they were all wiped out.
The news was scrambled down by the first line commander-in-chief so as not to damage morale.
Two sets of skirmishes in a row were at a disadvantage, which humiliated the dominant Emperor.
At his shaken urging, a new aggressive battle plan was formulated to replace the full plan that had been in place before the march, and the battle really began.
Every day, new spare troops were being moved to the front lines by the Xing Yuan, which made Xue Yao begin to worry about whether the Qi army would be able to crush the Khitan army as it did in the original story.
Feelings of anxiety caused Xue Yao to guard the remaining warm babies and chubby cubs in the tent every day, counting them every few moments, both cubs were still there, just missing a fifth prince.
To say also quite unexpected, since I heard the first line of military aircraft battalion suffered a sneak attack, the sixth prince daily hate to personally rushed to the front line to kill the enemy to take revenge, has been a little sheep like the sixth prince, mention the Khitans, and will even say to cut off their hands and feet to dig out their eyes such a ferocious words.
On the contrary, the Seventh Prince, the original Shura War God who had terrorized both at home and abroad, had not expressed any intention to fight so far.
Xue Yao felt that the little chubby cub was even a bit nervous, so he had to be coaxed to sleep every night.
However, the matter of the sneak attack on the Military Opportunity Camp also made the Seventh Prince depressed, and Xue Yao could see that the little fat cub's decreased appetite was the best proof of this.
After a month had passed, the two armies had gone through two frontal engagements.
The Qi army was indeed as dominant as in the original story, but Xue Yao was getting more and more uneasy by the day, fearing that bad news about the Emperor and the Crown Prince would come from the front line one day.
And his five cubs.
After another month, the problem of the Khitan's lack of food and armament began to show, and the Qi army's advantage naturally widened further.
Inevitably, the morale of the front line began to enter a phase of arrogance.
Whether it was a frontal battle or a localized surprise attack, several engagements of Daqi were won in a big way, and the soldiers and generals could not wait to compete for the military glory, but the emperor stole the opportunity to be in the limelight.
On the day of October 22, the Emperor himself led his army across the river and launched an all-out war of annihilation.
The news of the victory was spreading frequently, and seeing that the victory was in sight, the crown prince, who stayed in the second line, received an urgent secret letter from the palace.
The letter was penned by the Second Prince himself.
It had been written in a very moderate manner, yet it still made the Prince's eyes darken and he nearly fainted.
The Dauphin is in premature labor.
The content is roughly the same as the peace report, first of all, the child is safe, the crown princess is injured and unconscious, hope that if the crown prince can spare a moment, he will come back to visit a glance.
As the crown prince's number one brainwashed fan, the second prince was well aware of his big brother's growing affection for his sister-in-law.
In case my sister-in-law didn't make it, and I didn't report to my big brother so that he could come back to see him for the last time, I don't know how much regret I would leave behind for my big brother.
So he wrote the letter anyway, and let his big brother decide whether to return it or not.
After all, the battle was already won, and it made no difference if there was one less big brother, less sister-in-law would not be the same for big brother.
The Prince's decision was to return to the palace.
He had planned to go to the front line in person to explain the situation to his father, but his father had military orders not to allow his sons to cross the river.
The prince intended to send a message, but he was afraid that the news of "the prince's desertion" would affect his morale at this critical time when victory was in sight.
The prince is eager to visit his wife, really not as much as more concern, immediately handed over the military symbols to the fifth brother, so that he stayed to wait for orders, he left the barracks in the night.
This matter is only clear to the fifth prince, not to avoid the third prince knows that big brother handed over the military talisman to his own heart dissatisfaction to find him trouble, the fifth prince in accordance with the big brother's instructions, the excuse that the big brother received a secret order, with a contingent of odd troops troops to support the father went to, at any time may be victorious and return, and only let him temporarily stationed on the second line.
When the Third and Fourth Emperors learned of this, neither of them suspected it.
Because in their opinion, if not for the Father Emperor forbidding the Crown Prince to participate in the war, the Crown Prince must have already crossed the river to kill the enemy to go, fleeing from the battle this kind of thing, happen to anyone, are not likely to happen to the Crown Prince of Daqi.
If it was in his last life, it was also true that the Crown Prince would not return to the capital privately because of that secret letter.
In this life, it's different.
Prince Master hurriedly rushed back to the capital on the road, the heart thought that the battle has basically finished, and did not expect the next day after he left, a kill out of the remnants of the siege in the middle of the night to cross the river back to the bank, even rolled and crawled into the second line of the commander-in-chief tent, died in the arms of the fifth prince.
The soldier had three arrows sticking out of his back and uncountable cuts on his body, and his tongue was no longer able to express what he wanted to say when he was helped to kneel at the feet of the Fifth Prince like a bloody man.
There are only mere words as tattered as his body, "The pursuit was ambushed by ...... the ...... emperor ...... emperor ...... Help!"
"Where is Father!" Hearing that the situation was not good, the Fifth Prince's eyes were wide with anger, kneeling on one knee, he wrapped his arms around the soldier and shook him hard: "Speak quickly!"
The wounded soldier looked at the Fifth Prince with rounded eyes, blood bubbles bubbling in his throat, a pair of hands stained with coagulated blackened blood, tightly grasping the Fifth Prince's left wristguard, his trembling nails almost scratching out scratches on the copper wristguard again.
He burned the last remnants of his life and spat out his last three words, "Baisugou ......"
After saying that, he tilted his head and broke his breath, but his eyes still had God, and he seemed to desperately want to accompany the Fifth Prince to lead the army to kill back.
*
The news of the Emperor's capture did not get out.
Xue Yao, however, sensed something was wrong--
The front line moved all the spare troops from the line overnight.
A terrible conjecture exploded in Xue Yao's head.
Could it be that the Emperor is still planted in the dead ground of his last life?
Transferring so many soldiers and horses at once, the military talisman is the Prince's military talisman.
The Prince must have gone mad with anxiety by now, ready to bring all his soldiers and horses to fight to the death.
The horrible future in the original story is overlapping with the present, Xue Yao is so anxious that he is whacking his head and pulling his hair, scaring the Sixth and Seventh Emperors.
The two emperors weren't aware of what was happening on the front lines, and since they had no experience in fighting, they didn't have much of a guess as to the backup army being mobilized in its entirety.
"What to do ...... what to do ......"
Xue Yao's mind turned like a windmill, thinking that before they parted, he had specifically instructed the Crown Prince to be careful of Bai Su Gou.
If the Emperor was still planted there, the Crown Prince should once again be amazed at his unpredictability and trust his word because of it, right?
So, if he rushed to the front line with the reserve army now and begged the Crown Prince not to go to war himself, would he be able to save the Crown Prince and allow him to ascend to the throne straight away?
With this thought in mind, Xue Yao wanted to follow the alternate army to the front line.
However, his status simply did not have the doorway to discuss with the Commander of the Army Reserve, and he could only find two young emperors to mention this request to the Commander.
The Sixth and Seventh Emperors expressed their disapproval of Xue Yao's request in the eyes of the two cubs.
Yao Yao has no hands at all, what's the point of going to the front line?
Xue Yao almost kneeled down for the two cubs, repeatedly stating that he would not cross the river to join the war, but only had an important matter to remind the Crown Prince of.
Hearing him say that, the Sixth Prince intended to help him go and speak to the Commander.
The Seventh Prince, however, was still uneasy, feeling that the young companion would die immediately without his own protection.
His Highness has decided to go to the front with his young companion.
Then it was uniformly rejected by the commanding officer.
The two young emperors were not allowed to go to the front.
The emperor brought them out this time, is traveling plus learning so an edutainment purpose.
The other four older emperors hadn't been allowed to go to the first battlefront, so how could they let the two younger emperors go to the front to join in the fun?
The little prince walks himself to fall a heel, he commanded the ambassador have to take full responsibility, bring to the front line is impossible.
Xue Yao was so anxious that he was about to hit the wall.
This life was different from the original, and there was also the Fifth Prince, who was also on the front line!
In the original, the abolition of the Prince has no military power at all, the spare army troop symbols in the hands of Tong Fei's brother, so the abolition of the Prince around to be unable to soldiers after their own generation of leading the guards in the middle of the night sneak attack, and the fifth Prince was abolition of the Prince called to go to the capital to ask for help.
In this life, the Crown Prince had a military talisman, and Xue Yao guessed that he would probably take the Fifth Prince and kill the other side of the river with him.
Theoretically speaking, with a few hundred people raiding, can be right back to the emperor's crown prince, now commanding tens of thousands of people to fight, should have no fear of life.
But a theory is a theory. Didn't the Emperor plant it anyway?
What if the Crown Prince brings the Fifth Prince with him to his death?
Xue Yao was so anxious that he even wanted to sneak into the frontline camp, but quickly dismissed this unrealistic idea.
The war is a serious matter, he was a cloth, not allowed to sneak in without authorization, was caught that is directly as a spy disposal, I guess it is too late to see the Prince, he first saw the King of Hell.
Just when he was still worrying about the life of the crown prince.
The anxious and red-eyed Fifth Prince had already personally led his troops and crossed the river to attack.
