Chapter 348 Reluctant

A Tatar deputy general looked at Amur worriedly: "Your Majesty, we have lost thousands of people before the battle officially started. If this continues, we will definitely lose a lot of people."

"Yes! We can't let our Tatar warriors die in vain." Amur turned to look at Xiao Hongbin, "Prince Jin, what do you think?"

Xiao Hongbin was extremely angry, but because the situation was stronger than him, he could only endure it, thinking quickly in his mind how to deal with the current situation.

Is Amur trying to take advantage of the opportunity to gain more benefits and redistribute the northern Xinjiang territory?
He has promised to give him three cities, but he is still not satisfied. Does he want to incorporate the entire northern border into the Tatar territory?
In that case, don't blame him for being rude. The contract they signed earlier was that if the Tatars helped him take over the northern border, he would give the Tatars three cities.

Now he has changed his mind. As long as he leads the Tatar army to help him retake the capital, the Great Zhou has a vast territory, so what's wrong with giving the northern border to him?

After he stabilizes the political situation and takes back the military power, it will not be too late to send troops to retake the northern border.

Xiao Hongbin was thinking over and over again, but he didn't show it on his face. He smiled and threw out a bait: "As long as you lead the Tatar army to help me attack the capital, I will give you the entire northern border."

Amur's eyes sparkled: "Are you serious?"

"Really!" Xiao Hongbin said firmly.

Amur narrowed his eyes slightly. The northern border has a vast area, with grasslands, land, lakes, cities, and houses. The Tatars only have felt tents and live a life near water. Their life is completely different from that of the people of the Great Zhou.

Their original plan was to help Xiao Hongbin take over the Northern Frontier and obtain three cities in the Northern Frontier, and then look for an opportunity to attack the capital of the Great Zhou in the future. By then, the entire Great Zhou would belong to them, the Tatars.

Since Xiao Hongbin generously gave them the entire Northern Frontier, they had to fight this battle no matter what until they won.

Amur quickly made a decision: "I don't believe they have that many weapons. Keep attacking until they are all used up."

At this moment, he didn't feel sorry for the dead Tatar warriors at all. There would always be casualties in a war. As long as the northern border could be conquered, it would be worth it no matter how many people died.

The Tatar generals' eyes darkened. This was asking them to die! But the prince had already given the order, and they could only carry it out.

The Tatars launched a new round of attacks.

Seeing the Tatar army below rushing towards the city gate like crazy, Shen Jia's eyes turned slightly cold. She threw the bomb in her hand towards the Tatar army like a parabola. What was different this time was that she used her internal force to throw the bombs in several directions towards the Tatar army, letting them feel the power of the bombs.

She just wanted to scare them, and only by scaring them would they not act rashly.

Beijiang is one of the provinces with the largest land area in Dazhou, larger than Jiangnan and Lingnan combined. However, although Beijiang is vast, it is sparsely populated, so the distance between each city is farther than that in other provinces.

It is more than 700 miles from Tacheng to Wucheng. Amur led the Tatar army to attack Wucheng. Even if they could not capture it after a long time, they would not leave easily. After all, it was not easy for the army to move out. The most important point was that it was the middle of winter in the twelfth lunar month, and it could snow heavily in the northern border at any time. Once it snowed heavily, they would dare not attack at will.

"Bang! Bang!..." The explosions sounded one after another. The Tatar army could not escape at all, because once they escaped, it would inevitably cause chaos in the team, prone to trampling, and more deaths.

The air was filled with smoke, dust, devastation, corpses everywhere, and rivers of blood.

Xiao Hongbin glanced at the place where the bomb had landed, and felt sad. Could it be that he really couldn't turn things around?
No, he is not willing to do so.

Amur's teeth were bared. The bombs dropped by Shen Jia one after another made him doubt his life.

Just as Shen Jia thought, Amur was really scared. He felt that he and Xiao Hongbin had made a wrong judgment. With Shen Jia throwing away the weapons like garbage, he didn't know how many of these weapons she had. What if she still had a lot, wouldn't that mean she had wasted the lives of his Great Zhou warriors?
No, they have to retreat immediately and return to the camp to make long-term plans.

Amur thought of this and while riding back on his horse, he shouted, "Retreat, retreat."

They didn't care about the lives of the Tatars who were fighting with the soldiers of the Great Zhou. Shen Jia looked at the backs of the Tatar army going away, and sat down on the ground without any image. He felt pain all over his body, and was so tired that he didn't even want to move his fingers.

Ling Yunsu sat beside her and reported to her in a low voice the situation in Tacheng and Wucheng.

Shen Jia recovered and Ling Yunsu finished his report.

"Brother Ling, this time it's all thanks to you. If you hadn't come here, the Northern Frontier would have been handed over to Xiao Hongbin and Tatar." Shen Jia said with a smile.

Even if the ministers sent by the emperor came to the northern border and found something wrong, they would not be able to notify them immediately. By the time the people sent by Yi Zhenpeng returned to the capital for help, they discovered the problem, but it was too late.

Ling Yunsu's lips curled slightly, "I am also a citizen of the Great Zhou, and it is my duty to contribute to the Great Zhou."

"Brother Ling is a righteous man. Don't worry, the emperor will not treat you unfairly." Shen Jia stood up and patted Ling Yunsu on the shoulder.

Ling Yunsu smiled but said nothing.

Shen Jia put on his backpack and walked slowly down the city wall.

Xiao Yichen and Yi Zhenpeng were commanding the soldiers to reinforce the city gate and repair the gap.

When Xiao Yichen saw Shen Jia coming down, he whispered a few words to Yi Zhenpeng, then stood with her at the city gate. He blew a whistle, and the big white horse and the big black horse came running over with a clatter.

Then Ling Yunsu took them to where they lived.

Wucheng was very large, with military camps stationed on the east and west sides. Ling Yunsu rented a large yard a few hundred meters away from the east camp, which was big enough for them to live in, and he also hired two maids to cook for them.

The Tatar army's siege had little impact on the ordinary people living in Wucheng. Shops, restaurants, inns, and clinics were open as usual, which showed that they trusted Yi Zhenpeng, and that Yi Zhenpeng was strict in military discipline and would not disturb the ordinary people.

Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen were tired, hungry and sleepy. They returned to the yard, washed, ate, and then fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

After today's defeat, the Tatars will not attack easily in the short term, so they slept very soundly.

Shen Jia slept until early the next morning, stretched himself, sat cross-legged on the bed and practiced internal energy for half an hour before changing his clothes, opening the door and going out.

A cold wind carrying snow blew over. When I looked up, I saw large flakes of snow falling down, and everything around was white.

Xiao Yichen, who lived next door, heard Shen Jia open the door and came out.

The two walked side by side to the living room.

Ling Yunsu, Zhou Rui and others sat together and talked.

Zhou Rui was the minister sent by the emperor to the northern border to capture Xu Yong.

Xiao Hongbin arrived in the northern border earlier than him and had already colluded with Xu Yong Tatar.

Xu Yong was the deputy commander of the Northern Frontier, and he had many personal soldiers around him. When he heard that Zhou Rui was going to arrest him and bring him back to Beijing for trial, he took his personal soldiers and prepared to kill him to silence him.

If Shen Jia had not sent guards to Zhou Rui, and if he had not had the poison given by Shen Jia on him, and if Ling Yunsu had not arrived in time, he might have been killed by Xu Yong.
