In the years of famine, I was well versed in history and pampered the Northern Army

Chapter 189 Reinforcements

But the situation does not wait for anyone. The situation has reached the point where a large army is approaching. They have no time to think and can only fight.

They had seized the initiative on weekdays, and they still had many advantages in formation and training. However, they were attacked by surprise and even woken up in the middle of the night. They were still a little caught off guard, and even their formation was disrupted a lot.

Before long, many of them had already suffered casualties. General Xiao Zhou, standing beside Lu Yan, asked worriedly:

"Your Highness, the situation has now reached this point. I think our army is no match for it. If that is the case, what should we do?"

Normally they come in waves, but now they bring so many people at once.

Although it is impossible for 20 people to run over at once, they can now clearly feel that the remaining people are waiting behind them. If this group of people falls, the next group will immediately rush over.

What's more, they have all kinds of weapons from the Western Regions, and they have no way to match them.

If this continues, judging by the fanatical attitude of the people from the Western Regions, they seem to really want to wipe them out in one fell swoop and have a quick battle. Then they may suffer large-scale casualties within 3 days.

Lu Yan had fought all kinds of battles in the past, but it was true that he had never fought such a wild battle. All the energy was accumulated at one point. Such a battle had both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that it seems almost indestructible and unbeatable on the surface, but the disadvantage is that it is particularly afraid of sneak attacks.

If other teams were able to find a place to break through the weaknesses of their formation one by one, it would be like a huge bear that had been blinded. It could only bounce around on the ground and there was no other way.

So if they have other forces, then it must be possible.

But the problem is that they have exhausted all their means to come here, so their only option now is to fight to the death and resist to the death.

General Xiao Hu was a little worried when he saw the huge disparity in military strength, and he said to Lu Yan:

"Your Highness, Prince Jing, I know you don't like surrendering, but right now I feel the lives of our soldiers are more important. If we die here in vain today, there will be no hope of survival, and our entire Yunjin will never have any other hope in the future. So if we really can't win, why don't we retreat?"

Of course Lu Yan knew that they had to save their lives because there were other tough battles to fight later, but could they really retreat now?

The war has reached a stalemate, and I'm afraid I can't leave even if I want to.

"If we retreat now, we probably won't be able to get very far. If we continue to attack, we can still defend ourselves. If we really retreat, I'm afraid the casualties will be even greater. It's better to cling to this glimmer of hope. What's more, if we retreat, the Queen Mother will use this key point to make us unable to recover."

General Xiao Li was furious when he heard this:

"This old witch is so calculating in everything she does. She wants us to neither fight nor retreat! I'm not saying this, but she really thinks those traitors from the Western Regions will continue to provide her with food and clothing if they invade Yunjin. It's a blessing that they didn't kill her."

What he said was true.

Although the people from the Western Regions appeared to be extremely respectful to the Empress Dowager and seemed to obey her in everything, in fact, they all had ulterior motives.

After all, being the Queen Mother is still profitable. What if it is no longer profitable? What if the imperial city of Yunjin has been occupied by those people? It is impossible for an imperial city to have two masters.

If the king of the Western Regions goes in and ascends the throne immediately, where will there be any place for an old witch like her?

Now that her son has become the emperor, and now she can also become the most noble woman in the whole Yunjin, thinking about all kinds of noble appearances, he really can't make sense of it.

She now only considered the various rumors and tributes that people from the Western Regions had given her, and she even often missed the time when she grew up in the Western Regions.

But she never thought that the people in the Western Regions today are no longer the same people who loved and protected her before.

They just want to profit from her now.

But there was no need to say these things now. After all, she had already made up her mind about the battle line. Unfortunately, the battlefield was now tense and Lu Yan was afraid that she could not leave.

How could Xu Qingyin not pay attention to the soldiers on the front line? She was in the imperial city, and he had no choice in everything about the Empress Dowager. He could only adopt a flexible strategy and try to get as many benefits as possible from the Empress Dowager.

But after all, the Queen Mother was not a fool. If she was unwilling, Xu Qingyin would probably not be able to do it even if she talked her mouth off and banged her head.

She even thought that if the matter was too urgent, she would go to the Lu Group to seek help, but she didn't know if she would make it in time.

Three days later, the entire hillside was dyed red with the blood of all the soldiers, and every two steps one could trip over the corpses of soldiers.

Even if they resisted and fought to the death, the Zhenbei Army was already showing signs of decline. They were really too tired. They had just arrived and encountered such a surprise attack. Who could have endured it?

But the Zhenbei Army is not a pushover after all, and their long training is definitely not in vain. Even if the people from the Western Regions are large in number, it is impossible to defeat them in one fell swoop in a very short time.

The Zhenbei Army lost 2 soldiers on the front line, but they killed people from the Western Regions. Although their old, weak and sick people looked intimidating, they were just paper tigers that would fall down at the slightest breeze.

If they continue like this, it seems that if they really try their best, they can defeat them, but they are wrong.

The people from the Western Regions could still take turns and even have time to rest, but the Zhenbei Army could only fight non-stop. After three days, their initial momentum had already slightly declined.

Just when Xu Qingyin went to purchase some weapons and finally got everything together after trying every possible means and sent it over, the Zhenbei Army was already in a state of fighting to the death.

When she was thinking about how to deliver these things, she suddenly saw a large group of people riding on war horses.

Seeing Lu Yan turned around and smiled in surprise:

"Tukar!"

Tukar laughed:

"Finally I've made it! Now that I'm here, you're definitely not fighting alone!"
