Chapter 345 Sound the Drum
The wind was cold and cold, and Daxing's army was walking in an orderly manner on the way deep into Beiqi.

Ning Yuezhao was riding a horse, her red cloak rattling in the wind, looking into the distance, her brows could not help but be tinged with sadness.

At this time, there was a cavalry coming from the front, and Ning Yuezhao raised his hand to stop the army.

The man got off his horse and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness has gathered with five thousand imperial guards."

Ning Yuezhao pursed her lips, and said lightly, "Got it."

After seeing off Le Wen that day, Ning Yuezhao confided to Jiang Nian the nightmare of her previous life, and Jiang Nian hugged her tightly in his arms, silently comforting her.

After a long time, his elegant and gentle voice sounded above her head, "Azhao, do you know where the capital of Beiqi King is?"

Ning Yuezhao raised her head from his arms and shook her head.She doesn't have a complete memory of her previous life, and with Yichen's cunning, she probably won't let her know the way to the capital.

Jiang Nian unrolled a volume of maps. This is a map of Beiqi drawn by him after browsing the existing materials, and a location is marked with cinnabar on it.

This place is blocked by mountains, and the place behind is a blank space. Jiang Nian did not find any record of a single word.

"There are many mountains here. At first glance, there is no road to pass through, but I have studied the staggered layout of these peaks. There should be a cave behind the mountains. If my deduction is correct, the king's capital of Beiqi is on this mountain. after."

Jiang Nian's slender fingers landed on the vermilion place, with a determined smile on his face.

Ning Yuezhao stared at him, her heart tightened for no reason, "Do you want to go to Beiqi King's Capital?"

Jiang Nian's fingertips caressed the center of her eyebrows, and said in a low voice, "Northern Qi's soldiers and horses are not weak. Although tens of thousands of horses were lost in the battle of Yi Chu, the number of troops is still huge. After taking office, this person is scheming and vicious, and it takes time and effort to confront them head-on. If we don't make a quick decision, I'm afraid Jiangnan will change."

King Kangyu was always wicked, and now without Ning Ziyi's restraint, if the war in the northwest dragged on for too long, King Kangyu would definitely take the opportunity to make trouble.

Ning Yuezhao sighed softly, grabbed Jiang Nian's hand, stroked it repeatedly in his palm, "How are you doing?"

Jiang Nian lightly held her hand, "Siege Wei and rescue Zhao, you and Xiao Jingtian will attack from the front, I will take 5000 troops to explore the capital of Beiqi King, now Yichen has all the troops on the front line, the defense must be weak in the rear, take the opportunity to attack Its royal capital, force it to surrender!"

Jiang Nian's move was obviously a desperate move!The head lowering technique on his body has not yet been solved, and accidents may happen at any time.The defense of the royal capital is weak, and it's just their guess. If they leave, the future is uncertain...

Ning Yuezhao wrapped her arms around his neck vigorously and hugged him tightly.

If possible, she would like to keep him in the account to recuperate, and she would like to oppose his plan.But the situation cannot be controlled by others. If they don't end the war in the Northwest as soon as possible, they will be in an extremely passive situation.

Jiang Nian also hugged her back, stroking her hair, "Don't worry, wait for my victory!"

Why would he be willing to let her and Xiao Jingtian be alone, but right now is not the time for love.

That night, they hugged each other tightly and slept together.

She never said the word agree, but Jiang Nian knew that she had acquiesced to his plan.

Xiao Jingtian originally rode the horse behind Ning Yuezhao on the left, when he looked up and saw her depressed expression, he couldn't help tightening the reins, and walked to a position beside her.

"It's less than five miles away from Dingyang Mountain. It's getting late. Tonight we will set up camp ahead and take a rest. The battle tomorrow is very important!"

He knew that she was unhappy because of Jiang Nian's departure, but he didn't want to mention that name in front of her, so he could only distract her by changing the subject.

Sure enough, Ning Yuezhao took a deep breath, turned her head to look at Xiao Jingtian, the gloomy look on her face was gone, and she said calmly, "Pioneer ahead, have you cleaned up the spies?"

The corner of Xiao Jingtian's mouth lightly raised, "Don't worry, this time, Vice General Guo took the people there personally, and kept them clean!"

Soldiers are deceitful, Beiqi's camp will definitely send soldiers to investigate the surrounding situation, what they have to do is to take the first step, cut off the path of these information transmissions, and ensure that tomorrow's surprise attack can go smoothly.

This Guo Tianjian was originally the guard of Yuheng Pass, but now that Yan Mo's injury has recovered, Xiao Jingtian asked him to guard Yuheng Pass, and transferred his most trusted Guo Tianjian to join the army.

Ning Yuezhao had a deep impression of this tough man in his thirties. When the Northwest Army mutinied, it was he who stabilized the [-] soldiers in the Northwest, so that no greater chaos was caused.

Now everyone in the army knows that their beautiful and noble Empress is not the fatuous woman she was rumored to be. She has a heart of benevolence and righteousness, doesn't put on airs, is considerate of her subordinates, and has a deep affection with Her Royal Highness.Along the way, they saw that His Majesty and the imperial husband were dressed lightly, eating and living with the soldiers, and they had long cast aside their previous prejudices. The whole army was united and their morale was high.

Ning Yuezhao was also very pleased about this.

Night fell little by little, and the tent was still brightly lit. Ning Yuezhao sat in the first seat and had a final discussion with the generals below about the plan to attack the camp tomorrow.

-

In the Beiqi camp, Yichen entered the medicine tent, and saw Qu You drumming the porcelain jars all over the floor.

"what are these?"

After adding the last medicinal herb, Qu You carefully sealed the lid of the porcelain jar.

"This is a good thing. It is the treasure of my Tiansheng Palace. This time, I am forming an alliance with you Beiqi, but I have shown full sincerity."

Yi Chen asked, "What exactly is it?"

Qu You didn't answer him, but just stood up straight, "Bury these porcelain pots in the ground around the camp, in case that **** this camp is breached, they can save your life."

Yuchen's doubts deepened, "Could this be the technique of lowering the head?"

Qu Youmei narrowed her eyes slightly, "If it's true, the head lowering technique and Miao Jiang's Gu poison are of the same origin, but our head lowering technique is better than theirs."

Yi Chen knew that it was difficult to get anything out of Qu You's mouth, so he didn't say anything else, but let people come in to move these porcelain pots, and do what Qu You said.

The number of drug addiction attacks on him is now less and less, and he can move around freely when he has nothing to do. Overall, he is much better than before. I believe it is only a matter of time before he gets rid of poppy poison.

Jiang Nian, you put pain in my body, and I will get it back one by one!

At this time, in Qu You's mind, Jiang Nian's cold and indifferent appearance was also present. After a while, the picture changed to him staring affectionately at Ning Yuezhao. She wished she could tear this picture apart.

Jiang Nian, you wait, I want to make your life worse than death!

-

At dawn, Feng Xiao paced back and forth in the tent with a cold expression.Yichen has already made him a marshal, commanding the entire army of Dingyang Mountain to fight against Daxing with all its strength.

"Has the sentinel from last night not come back yet?" His voice was deep.

The general under his command shook his head, "The people who were sent to look for him never came back."

Feng Xiao said in a deep voice: "There must be monsters in the abnormality, order the whole army to stop..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a loud bang outside the tent, like thunder, but it was more powerful than thunder.Accompanied by the loud noise, there were also the screams of the soldiers.

"It's not good! Daxing's army has attacked the camp!" A soldier with blood on his face stumbled into the commander's tent, and just after saying these words, he fell down.

Feng Xiao quickly held the knife in his hand, his whole body exuded layers of murderous aura, "Damn it, it's impossible for everyone in my Beiqi army to succeed! Come on, order troops to follow me to meet the enemy!"

At this time, the Beiqi camp was in chaos, and the generals who ordered troops to line up were drowned in the roar of artillery fire.

Ning Yuezhao and Xiao Jingtian were on the high slope in the distance, looking at the camp that was raging with flames.

Xiao Jingtian was playing with a blunderbuss in his hand, with surprise in his eyes, "I would like to think that these things are just tricks, but now I know that I am arrogant, with these firearms in hand, even thousands of troops are just a display! "

Ning Yuezhao put down the binoculars, her red lips pursed into a smile, "It's not entirely true."

As her words fell, a row of red-clothed cannons in front of the formation ran out of gunpowder, and they stepped back to reload.

This was urgently developed by the Armed Forces Department of the Ministry of War and transported to the front line, because time was tight and the quantity was limited.

But firing the first shot, surprising Bei Qi by surprise, was enough to destroy his morale.

"It's up to me from now on." Xiao Jingtian smiled freely, put the blunderbuss in his waist, drew out his long sword, and steered his horse down the high slope.

"Boys! Let me kill you!"

The soldiers behind Xiao Jingtian rushed towards Beiqi camp like a tide, like a sharp knife stabbing towards the enemy's chest.

As a veteran, Feng Xiao, although he hadn't been on the battlefield for many years, was still calm in critical moments. When he sensed that the bang had stopped, he quickly climbed onto the stage to beat the drums himself.

After finally gathering the uninjured soldiers in the camp, many of these people were still awakened from their sleep, feeling that they were still in a nightmare.

Feng Xiao raised his long saber high and shouted sharply: "The enemy is in front of you, all of you are downcast, what do you look like! If you want to die, say so, I will end him with one knife, so as not to die by the enemy and be embarrassing!"

When the general got off the stage, someone murmured, "The old general is brave. I don't know why the enemy suddenly attacked the camp."

"Old General Feng is too old to be useful. If General Xiao Gu is the commander in chief, such a situation will not happen."

Both voices were extremely soft, but because the arena was too quiet, the voice stood out, and it reached everyone's ears clearly.

Feng Xiao's eyes were wide open, staring at the audience, but the people in the audience were so dark that he couldn't tell who said it for a while.

Gu Ming, the son of Gu Xin whose name was mentioned, also had an ugly expression on his face. He took a step forward, "Bold! Who in the army dares to question the commander!"

The soldiers in the audience lowered their heads and remained silent.

In fact, not only the soldiers in the army, but even Gu Ming himself did not accept Feng Xiao as the commander.Since Gu Xin left, the morale of the lieutenant generals has been low, and they have been divided into two factions, one supporting the Gu family and the other supporting the Feng family, and the two factions often compete secretly.

At this time, a soldier came to report, "Report to Marshal, Daxing Xiao Jingtian personally led the troops and attacked our camp!"

Feng Xiaosheng suppressed the anger in his heart, and said loudly: "The enemy is at hand, we must not fight among ourselves, and follow the commander to meet the enemy!"

After finishing speaking, Feng Xiao jumped off the high platform, landed firmly on the back of the horse below the stage, and rushed out with the horse in the lead.

Gu Ming did not show weakness and quickly followed.

Dianjiang cheered up the soldiers in the audience, catching up with the two of them one after another, but no one noticed that a figure withdrew from the team little by little, and finally dodged and hid aside.

"It's a pity, I couldn't provoke their internal strife!" The young voice said regretfully.

"Young master, you were too adventurous just now!" An older voice said helplessly.

These two people are Lan Yu and Shan Qi.
