After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

The general is a formally trained eagle.

It's on a mission!

It never expected that it was being targeted!
What it didn't expect was that it was a crooked female eagle that was staring at it!
Its patrol range should have been very large, but when it just flew over Qingshui Town, it landed on the top of a tall pine tree. When the bird turned its head, it saw something coming towards it in the distance... …two eagles!

It is also very curious!

It did not patrol further. It was still standing on the top of the tree, but there was a lot of caution in its eyes.

It's waiting for their arrival... maybe a nice chat, maybe a fight!
It doesn't know what will happen when they meet.

But what it hopes is to convince these two eagles. It would be best if they can serve their master.

It waits in anxiety.

Xie Jing's troops, two hundred miles away, were also waiting silently at this moment——

They were in the valley of Yunlai Mountain on the outskirts of Laiyun County.

Here is the gathering place for the fifth army of the Western Frontier Army!
At dusk, four armies gathered here, and the last army was yet to arrive.

The army is hiding in the valley of Yunlai Mountain.

There were no tents and no fireworks.

All the soldiers sat on the ground, silently gnawing on the frozen hard cakes, waiting for the arrival of the last team.

Xie Jing summoned four generals to sit under a cedar.

A map lay on the snow.

In the last dusk light, he looked at the four people, and his finger fell on Yong'an City:

"This battle cannot be underestimated!"

"This general has told you in detail about the situation in Yong'an City before departure."

"The news reported by the scouts is not far from our original prediction."

"This Taiping Army does not look like a ragtag group. The defenses on the city wall are actually well done."

His fingers fell on the snow and drew a rectangular pattern.

"There are four gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest, each with sixteen watchtowers and thirty-eight arrow towers."

"There are three people permanently stationed in the watchtower and six people stationed in the arrow tower. In addition...there are defensive objects such as kerosene and rolling stones on the city wall."

"There are a thousand soldiers on duty on each of the four walls, and there are also twelve patrol teams, each one numbering about two hundred."

"This is a very standard city defense layout!"

"Although we have magical objects such as fireworks, we don't have catapults. This means that we have to throw fireworks onto the city wall, and the distance from the city wall must be within twenty feet."

"But the killing range of the arrow tower is fifty feet!"

Xie Jing looked up at the four generals, "So our attack on Yong'an City can only be at night!"

"In addition, the Taiping Army's 10,000 cavalry camp is located at the school grounds of Yong'an City."

"The school grounds of Yong'an City are close to the east gate, which is the city gate we are facing here."

"When the fireworks fell on the city wall and exploded...according to the reaction speed of a regular cavalry, it would take about a cup of tea for them to go from gathering to leaving the city to fight."

"I thought so……"

"It would be best if their cavalry leaves the city!"

"General Huang,"

The man, who was about thirty years old, stood up and bowed:
"The general is here!"

"You lead an army and hide on the right wing two hundred feet away from the east gate. According to the map marked by the scout, there is a small hill here."

"The First Army is on standby here."

"The last general takes command!"

"General Zhang,"

The bearded man, who was about forty years old, stood up and said, "The end is here!"

"Your Second Route Army is hiding on the left wing a hundred feet away from the east gate. There is a Populus euphratica forest there."

"When the main force of the Taiping Army leaves the east gate, they will definitely chase the soldiers throwing fireworks."

"When they chase them a hundred feet away from the east gate, you lead your troops to cut off their retreat!"

"The last general takes command!"

Xie Jing raised his head and looked at a young man in his twenties.

"Tong Huan,"

The young man touched his nose and grinned:
"General, what the fireworks army does is set off fireworks."

"Don't worry, I guarantee that the first round of fireworks will be placed accurately on the city wall of Yong'an City!" Xie Jing raised his eyebrows:
"and then?"

Tong Huan spread his hands: "Then... then if he saw the enemy cavalry going out, he would definitely turn around and run away!"

"Who did you learn it from?"

"Hehe, I learned it from that guy Su Muxin."

"You've learned well, but the mission of your fireworks army doesn't stop there."

Tong Huan was stunned, "What else are you going to do?"

"You also need to divide half of the throwers to ambush in the rear. When the enemy cavalry enters the ambush circle, use fireworks to scare their horses!"

"The Battle of Wushanyuan... The emperor used this move to defeat tens of thousands of Xiahou Zhuo's cavalry, creating the myth that five hundred cavalry defeated tens of thousands of cavalry!"

Xie Jing's eyes revealed a look of admiration:
"Since I took over the Western Frontier Army, this great general has specially set up this fireworks army. I thought it would be used on the deserters..."

"Remember this for me, General!"

"If you want to minimize the casualties of our soldiers, your Fireworks Army must accurately control the aircraft."

"You can't just leave it to me!"

"That boy Su Muxin has taught you so much, this battle is the time to test your skills in the Fireworks Army!"

Tong Huan's playful smile disappeared in an instant.

He stood up eagerly, "General, I will ensure that the mission is completed!"

"it is good……!"

Xie Jing looked at the last general.

"General Chang. When General Li arrives, the task of the two of you is to charge head-on!"

"Separate the enemy troops who have frightened their horses, and surround them on all sides... be sure to destroy them all!"

General Chang stood up and said, "General, I will obey your orders!"

Xie Jing also stood up, looking into the distance with his hands behind his back.

"We cannot give this group of rebels a chance to escape, otherwise the brothers who are backing the city army... After all, they have only been established for a short time, and they probably have not received professional training."

"If these rebels become bandits,"

Xie Jing took a deep breath, "I'm afraid the army behind the city will be exhausted and unable to cope with it!"

"Pass this order from the General!"

The four of them bowed in unison.

Xie Jing said: "After General Li arrives, give him an hour to repair."

"It's dark at night, and the whole army is marching all night!"

"There is still one day's journey to Yong'an City... we must arrive outside Yong'an City on the night of the 18th!"

"The enemy army will definitely have scouts, so our army no longer has to hide."

"After arriving at the destination, each ministry will act in accordance with the deployment."

"Go get ready!"

The four of them bowed their hands and turned to leave.

Xie Jing was still looking into the distance, but his mind recalled the meeting with the emperor when he was in Wushanyuan.

At that time, he was still the regent.

He threw away the position of General of the Western Frontier Army to himself. This was the biggest change in his destiny in his life!
And now, under the emperor's personal order, he brought 50,000 cavalry to fight this first battle.

This is the emperor's trust and the emperor's test.

He clenched his fists and muttered to himself:
"This battle...there is no room for failure!"

"This battle... requires a great victory and a return to the Emperor!"

into the night.

General Li's 10,000 cavalry arrived.

But at this moment, another scout rushed over.

"Report to the General...!"

"What's so urgent?"

"General, we have found the brothers who are carrying the army behind the city..."

Xie Jing was slightly startled: "They are almost here?"

"No, they are in Qingshui Town, a hundred miles ahead of our army!" (End of Chapter)
