Qin Yunyun stood aside. Although she was worried, she knew Chu Ze had made up his mind. She said softly, "If your majesty wants to lead the army in person, please take good care of yourself. I will wait for you in the palace!"

Chu Ze patted Qin Yunyun's hand and said calmly: "Don't worry, Yunyun, I will be back soon. These barbarians will never accomplish anything great!"

The order to reorganize the troops was quickly passed down, and soldiers from all over gathered together. The army set out again in a mighty force and headed straight for Tianhai Pass.

This time, Chu Ze not only led a large number of elite soldiers, but also dispatched more powerful heavy cavalry from the capital to prepare for the upcoming war.

A few days later, the army arrived at Tianhai Pass, and the atmosphere throughout the city was solemn.

The flags of the Mongolian army have already appeared outside the Great Wall, and the remnants of the Western Xia forces are also secretly stirring.

Chu Ze climbed up the city wall, looked into the distance, and said coldly: "The Mongols and Xixia are really determined to fight to the death this time!"

Guo Huai stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Mongolia and Xixia have joined forces and have a large number of people, but I believe that with the solid defense of Tianhai Pass, we will be able to hold this pass!"

"I came here in person to stabilize the morale of the army!" Chu Ze's eyes were sharp and his tone was firm: "The Mongols and Xixia will not succeed easily!"

"I will do my best to defend Tianhai Pass to the death!" Guo Huai bowed.

"Pass the order down, all soldiers be on full alert!" Chu Ze waved his hand.

The war drums sounded again at Tianhai Pass, and the army quickly gathered. The soldiers defending the city held weapons in their hands, their eyes sharp, and stared nervously at the enemy outside the pass.

The Mongolian cavalry kept wandering in the distance, seemingly looking for the best time to attack, while the Western Xia infantry was also gathering in secret.

As night fell, the entire Tianhai Pass was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere.

Chu Ze stood on the city wall, staring coldly ahead.

Lu Bing stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, the spies reported that the Mongolian army seems to be planning to launch an attack at dawn tomorrow!"

"Dawn?" Chu Ze snorted. "They thought they could launch a sneak attack at night, but they chose to launch a frontal attack at dawn. That's quite interesting!"

"Your Majesty, should we deploy defenses in advance?" Lu Bing asked.

"Of course, order the entire army to prepare. I want to let them know that Tianhai Pass is not so easy to break through!" Chu Ze said coldly.

After a sleepless night, everyone at Tianhai Pass was on high alert.

With the first rays of dawn, the joint forces of Mongolia and Western Xia finally launched an attack.

The sound of war drums sounded again, and the Mongolian cavalry rushed towards Tianhai Pass like a tide. The Western Xia infantry followed closely behind and launched a fierce offensive.

Under the command of Chu Ze, the defenders of Tianhai Pass quickly launched a battle.

There were flashes of swords, arrows raining, and the sound of fighting on the battlefield.

The Mongolian cavalry tried to break through the city gates many times, but were repelled again and again by the tenacious defense line.

Chu Ze personally stood on the top of the city wall and commanded the army to resist the enemy's attack.

His eyes were cold and expressionless, and he was always watching the changes on the battlefield.

The battle lasted for a whole day, with heavy casualties on both sides, but Tianhai Pass remained standing.

As night fell, the Mongolian and Western Xia coalition forces had to retreat temporarily and wait for new opportunities.

Chu Ze stood on the city wall, looking at the retreating enemy troops, and said coldly: "These barbarians will surely come back again if they fail to break through the city!"

Guo Huai stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, the enemy has suffered heavy losses. I'm afraid they won't attack again in the short term!"

"They won't give up easily, I know that!" Chu Ze said coldly: "Continue to strengthen the defense, I want them to completely lose hope!" Time flies, and a few days passed in a blink of an eye.

"Pass the order down, we must not slack off in today's training!"

Chu Ze stood on the platform, his eyes like torches and his majesty unrivalled.

Below the stage, tens of thousands of Iron Blood Army soldiers were lined up in neat square formations, their armor gleaming slightly in the morning light. Although they were silent, the solemn atmosphere was overwhelming.

The people from all around also gathered together, watching this daily exercise from afar with awe on their faces, and they all felt great admiration for this iron-blooded emperor in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, several border generals want to see you today. They have some new situations to report at the Tianhai Pass front line!" Lu Bing walked forward quickly with a hint of caution in his tone.

"Well, bring them here!" Chu Ze nodded slowly, then turned around, waved his sleeves and strode into the tent.

The furnishings in the tent were simple, with only a few maps and weapons around, making it look shabby yet elegant.

After a while, the generals filed in, walked to the front of the tent, and knelt down in unison: "Your Majesty, we pay our respects to you!"

Chu Ze raised his hand and said, "Stand up, if you have something to say, just speak now, don't waste time!"

An elderly general stepped forward first. He was tall and had an old face, but his eyes were as sharp as lightning.

"Your Majesty, the Western Xia and Mongolian armies seem to be making unusual moves. Recently, they have been making frequent inquiries towards Tianhai Pass. Although their forces are small, their methods are quite sinister.

I think these barbarians have a plan in mind, so I dare not attack them rashly!"

"Western Xia and Mongolia colluding is something I have long anticipated!" Chu Ze sneered, and gently stroked the map on the table: "However, they may not dare to act rashly.

Humph, if they dare to come, I will make sure they never return!"

"Your Majesty is mighty and powerful. I am willing to be the vanguard and kill the enemy and make meritorious service!" Another young general bowed and clasped his hands together, looking excited.

"Vanguard?" Chu Ze glanced at him and said calmly, "You are so eager to make achievements, but have you ever thought that if these barbarians are feigning war, their goal is not Tianhai Pass, but somewhere else?"

The general was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and dared not say anything more.

"Humph, just rats!" Chu Ze stood with his hands behind his back and glanced at everyone: "The military gods of Xixia and Mongolia have been killed by me, and the remaining scoundrels are nothing but jumping clowns.

Don't forget, when I personally cut off the head of the Mongolian Khan, they were not so rampant! "

Upon hearing this, all the generals stood in awe and said, "Your Majesty is so brave and powerful, you are invincible in the world!"

"Well, let's not talk about these old things for now. I want you to remember that you must not underestimate the enemy, and you must not act rashly.

The current situation is complicated, and the situation of the barbarians is still unclear. Those people in the court who have ulterior motives may be waiting for an opportunity to act! "Chu Ze waved his hand, signaling them to retreat.

Upon hearing the order, the generals all left the tent.

There was silence in the tent for a moment. Chu Ze sat back at the desk, frowned slightly, and felt something was wrong.

Although these barbarians have never launched a large-scale invasion, they have repeatedly made attempts, so there must be something fishy behind this.

While he was thinking, he suddenly heard footsteps outside the tent, followed by a light voice: "Your Majesty, the Queen is here!"

Chu Ze looked up and saw Qin Yunyun walking in slowly. She was wearing a plain long skirt. Although she was not wearing fancy clothes, she had an air of nobility and dignity.

She looked at Chu Ze and smiled: "Your Majesty, the soldiers outside are training, why are you sitting here alone thinking?" (End of this chapter)
