Chapter 248: Get the letter
Unless the foreign army can defeat Liu Yunyan on the flank before Wen Zhi cuts off the retreat.
Otherwise, once the escape route is cut off, all we can do is fight between trapped beasts.
The foreign prince who had never suffered a defeat was not a reckless man. He was originally sitting in command from the rear.
Seeing that a mere northern land had not been conquered for such a long time, after studying Daqi's marching and military methods, he came in person with the purpose of breaking through the flexible three to four-man formation.
If the time is delayed a little longer, it really can be done. In the end, you have to rely on your life to fight against the cavalry.
However, Da Qi managed to hold on and cut off the retreat quickly and decisively.
The foreign prince was forced into the notoriously dangerous mountain road, but he didn't panic at all. He still had his trump card yet to be used.
After seeing that thing, I don't know if these Daqi people still have the courage to fight it.
After Wen Zhi gave an order, Daqi's offensive gradually slowed down, and they did not rush to outflank them. They seemed to be scattered, but in fact they arranged their defense lines in an orderly manner.
He raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the gray sky.
Soon, the wind will pick up.
The foreigners who came for a quick victory did not prepare too many supplies in advance. In this case, their combat power would be weakened.
He unhurriedly tightened the net that had been laid out for many days. Under the biting wind and snow, a chilling atmosphere permeated every piece of the battlefield, and desolation and excitement were intertwined.
But in just two minutes, the sky was covered by clouds, the wind carried a white mist-like cold air, and the smell of rust was blown away.
It became extremely difficult to stand up straight, and the war horse roared uneasily.
The weather in Northland is changeable, and experienced people cannot say that they can definitely tell it accurately.
Available now.
The expression on the foreign prince's face became more solemn. It was too weird to say it was a coincidence. The good weather for two days in a row changed at this moment.
The more I look at it, the more it looks like a trap specially set for him!
If he died in the North, their country would be completely defeated.
After holding on for several hours in extremely bad weather, as it turned dark, the situation became increasingly unfavorable, and the foreigners were also anxious.
They tried to leave this ghost place. If it weren't for such weather, it wouldn't be too difficult for them to leave. But now, the direction that allowed them to pass safely was already occupied by Daqi and was tightly blocked.
I tried several times but couldn't get it to work.
What's even more annoying is that there is charcoal and dry food from the Western Regions over there in Daqi, and it's in a location that blocks the wind.
Looking at them again, they are bearing the cold and their physical strength is severely exhausted.
The armor of the heavy cavalry was covered with a layer of snow, almost turning into a snowman.
The iron body cannot bear it for a long time.
The warm clothes and down jackets obtained from Daqi were given priority to the cavalry, but they were still not enough.
All methods were used, but no channel for trade with the Western Regions was found.
Earlier, I managed to catch a caravan member for questioning, but they only asked about placing an order through a specially decorated shop.
As for the location of the Western Region, I don't know anything about the transportation blueprints, and I haven't found the shop either.
The longer it drags on, the worse it will be for them. Ordinary soldiers with inadequate equipment can no longer bear it.
Just when the foreigners were eager to find countermeasures, news came from Daqi——
Disarm and surrender without killing.
Foreigners have never experienced such humiliation. It is absolutely impossible for them to surrender!
They wanted to rush out and fight to the death. "Those Daqi people are worthy of letting me remove my armor?!" The foreign prince's face was gloomy and he clenched his fists.
They had never looked at Daqi people in the eyes before, and it was only during this period that Daqi straightened his back on the battlefield.
Suddenly, he calmed down and thought of the news that came a few days ago. His father said that the late king was defeated by the Grand Master of Qi.
But the Imperial Master of Da Qi was plotted to death by their emperor. I don’t know if this person is a descendant or the same person.
The Emperor of Daqi is a sinister man, but Daqi does have a few capable people.
His thoughts stopped here, and the foreign prince called his men and gave him some instructions in his ear.
Soon, the foreigners proposed to negotiate terms. They still had 20,000 troops in the rear. They were concerned about this and the weight of the foreign prince. Thinking that he had the right to speak, Daqi agreed.
It is a very real problem. Even if Daqi wins this battle, it will not be able to enter the territory of foreigners. In the end, there will be talks.
Both sides were very cautious. Liu Yunyan specially brought a glazed lamp from the Western Regions, which illuminated it very brightly.
Therefore, when foreign soldiers come out with something, all high-ranking generals in Daqi must know it.
The foreigners also took out the Western Region trumpet that Daqi had dropped when they fled some time ago, and repeated the contents loudly.
On December 5, the third year of Xingyuan, the Emperor of Daqi wrote a personal letter to foreigners, which was certified by his private seal.
On January 6, the fourth year of Xingyuan, the Emperor of Da Qi was willing to lead the national division commander who was the commander-in-chief at the time to 20 miles north of Youyunguan on the condition of twelve continents to kill this serious enemy.
As we all know, the peace talks took place in March of the fourth year of Xingyuan.
The generals on Da Qi's side looked very ugly. At first, they said that the other party was using a trick, but when they saw that there was a real letter, the foreigners even generously sent someone to deliver a copy.
It can be seen that the thing is a bit old, it is Daqi paper, and there is ink pad on it.
It won't rot when soaked in water, leave traces when burned, won't solidify in winter, won't seep oil in summer, and won't fade for hundreds of years.
This is a tribute from the Daqi Palace. Anyone who has seen Daqi documents and saints' notes will recognize it.
Looking at the sarcastic expressions of the foreigners, the Daqi generals went from being in disbelief to having their faith collapsed and doubting their life.
If the coach at that time was dissatisfied, they would understand, but just because of his superior achievements, the saint could abandon the Twelve Continents and join forces with foreigners to kill them.
How did the foreigners treat them back then? The ancestors of many families were humiliated, and the people in the twelve cities became the lowest slaves in the hands of foreigners.
Who can accept that it is their king who is collaborating with the enemy and treason?
Today they are the ones fighting to the death to protect the country in the North. Is it possible that the saint will kill them in the future?
Taking advantage of the disarray of Da Qi's troops, the foreign prince raised his arms and led the soldiers to start a counterattack.
In an instant, the situation on Daqi's side took a turn for the worse.
Liu Yunyan had known about this for a long time, and the most angry moment was over. He only waited for Wen Zhi to come out to stabilize the situation. Then, he followed the order and led his troops to take the lead in fighting the foreigners to the death.
The goal has been achieved, but the elites of the foreigners cannot be easily evacuated. If such a good opportunity is lost, the foreigners will turn around and take advantage of the victory to pursue and invade Daqi.
"We are fighting for Daqi and the people, and we cannot give in today!"
Liu Yunyan threw the ground loudly, and the white linen tied to her high ponytail fluttered in the wind. The men and horses led by her were already preparing to win the ground as quickly as possible.
Wen Zhi still led the people to rush to the front, but people kept falling down, and the red blood falling on the white snow was particularly eye-catching.
Looking at him like this, who can doubt his intentions? !
The Master of the State is dedicated to the great Qi, and the heavens can teach him a lesson! Everyone looked at him with admiration.
In the hearts of Da Qi soldiers, his position has surpassed that of the old emperor.
