Ming Dynasty: pacifying the rebellion and defending the border, dominating the world

Chapter 163 Persuasion and Heartbeat

The battlefield outside Yibula Mountain.

It was divided into two worlds.

The flags of the Wandering Dragon Riders and the Great Snow Dragon Riders are flying.

In the deepest grassland area, you can vaguely see dust flying.

The bloody battlefield in the middle was littered with corpses. Many of the Hu Lan cavalry's horses, severed banners and military flags were trampled by the mud, and cold corpses were scattered randomly.

Two long spears were inserted between the two battlefields!

It formed a deterrent to the frightened Mongol army.

From the summit of Yibula Mountain, Cao Xueyang surveyed the battlefield calmly, saying, "In this battle, the Wandering Dragon Cavalry slew over 47,000 of the Mongol vanguard troops, severely weakening their front. The Mongols shouldn't dare to attack again in the short term."

Dugu Feng had also just retreated from the battlefield, a sickly blush plastered across his pale face. "The Mongol cavalry, reputed to be invincible, are no match for our Youlong Cavalry. General, why don't you seize this victory and wipe out the Mongol rearguard all at once?"

I actually went to the battlefield and fought side by side with my fellow Dragon Riders.

Only then did Dugu Feng understand the horror of the Dragon Riders.

The Mongol Yuan Dynasty's 50,000 vanguard troops were killed in just three rounds of charges, and nearly 30,000 of them were killed in battle. There was no need for a fourth round of charge, and they only needed to hunt down the defeated soldiers and generals.

This was not a war at all, but a one-sided massacre.

Cao Xueyang looked into the depths of the grassland. "We can certainly pursue the victory, but if we advance further, it will not be our ambition to stop the Mongol offensive and invade the Ming Dynasty, but an all-out war with the Mongols."

Dugu Feng suppressed his trembling excitement and asked doubtfully, "With the fighting power of our Wandering Dragon Cavalry, sweeping across the grasslands, defeating Temur, and chasing the enemy north is no problem. Even if a war breaks out, the Mongols won't be able to stop the Wandering Dragon Cavalry and the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry from joining forces, right?"

Eighteen thousand fingers of the Profound Realm!

Hundreds of great masters of astronomy.

Dozens of land immortals led the team.

They have no reason to lose, and it is impossible for them to lose!

Dugu Feng firmly believed this.

Because she had personally experienced the absolute dominance of the Dragon Cavalry on the battlefield. Eighteen female riders of the Celestial Realm, who possessed the power of the Four Symbols and whose bodies were like shields, led the way. The Dragon Cavalry could directly kill tens of thousands of troops with one charge.

Even if the Mongols had a million-strong army, they would be no match for the powerful Yuan Dynasty!

Cao Xueyang smiled slightly and shook his head, saying, "It's not difficult to defeat the Mongols. Even if it's just us, the Dragon Cavalry, I'm confident I can lead you through the grasslands and cut off Temur's head."

"But it's easy to conquer such a vast empire across the vast grasslands, but it's difficult to hold on to it!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Feng felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head, and he regained some composure.

Cao Xueyang didn't say much.

She knew it was the aftereffects of the bloodbath on the battlefield.

"But General, instead of passively defending, we should take the initiative to attack."

"The Mongols want to march south to invade the Ming Dynasty. Why don't we first attack Baoyin City, which is known as the fortress of the country, like an iron wall and a bronze wall, and then fight our way to the Mongol capital, forcing them to retreat and defend it?"

Cao Xueyang frowned slightly. She had naturally thought about it as well.

In fact, this is one of the purposes of this expedition.

But Cao Xueyang didn't expect that this proposal would come from Dugu Feng's mouth.

"It seems that this battle has greatly boosted your confidence!" Cao Xueyang looked at Dugu Feng with a half-smile. He did not answer her directly, but asked a question: "If one day His Highness asked you to lead the army to attack the Sui Dynasty..."

Before Cao Xueyang could finish her words, Dugu Feng interrupted her excitedly:

"General, when?"

"How many troops are there? Are they our Wandering Dragon Cavalry?" "Or are they the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry that I can command? It's said that Yang Guang mobilized a large army, wasting money and manpower building the Grand Canal, only to go to Yangzhou and indulge in debauchery. If I were to lead the army, we would attack Yangzhou first and capture the thief and the leader."

Cao Xueyang was stunned.

She just said that, just to give Dugu Feng some mental preparation in advance.

Why did Dugu Feng act even more impatient than General Xuanwei?

Little did she know that Dugu Feng had already begun to fantasize that one day in the near future, she would lead the Youlongqi to victory after victory, taking down several or even dozens of cities in a single day. With her body as a woman, she would recover a country and leave her name in history, becoming on par with, no, surpassing Fu Hao, or even surpassing Dugu Jialuo of her own Dugu family.

"Snapped!"

Just when Dugu Feng was daydreaming, he was suddenly hit on the head.

Cao Xueyang glared at her unhappily and said, "You haven't even learned how to lead an army yet, and you're already thinking about usurping the throne, right? You command the Wandering Dragon Cavalry, so what should I do? Be your deputy general?"

"Well...it's not impossible!" Dugu Feng's voice was low, obviously lacking confidence. Noticing Cao Xueyang's unfriendly gaze, she quickly added, "After this battle, His Highness will ascend to that position, and you will be the Imperial Concubine. Even if you still want to lead the troops to fight, His Highness won't allow it, right?"

"Then I can lead the Dragon Riders, right?"

At the end of the story, Dugu Feng's eyes lit up and he felt that it was very possible.

Cao Xueyang stared at Dugu Feng with a forced smile, "You little phoenix, you're just dying for me to leave the Dragon Riders so you can make room for me, right? Elbow, follow me into the tent."

"Wait, wait, General, I was wrong."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Dugu Feng wanted to escape, but as soon as he turned around, he was grabbed by the back of the neck and dragged backwards. He kept begging for mercy, but unfortunately Cao Xueyang turned a deaf ear to him.

----

On the battlefield outside Yibula Mountain.

The Great Snow Dragon Cavalry is sweeping and guarding against the counterattack of the Mongol army.

A young Snow Dragon Rider, his face pale, followed the corpse collection team, covering his mouth from time to time. Several members of the corpse collection team nearby couldn't help but laugh: "Just now, the killing on the battlefield was even more crazy. You wielded that 1200-jin black iron heavy spear so tightly that it was impervious to water. You killed no less than a hundred Hu Lan Iron Riders. Why are you afraid now?"

"I'm not scared, I'm disgusted. Ugh~!"

"Normal deaths are fine, but look at those who were hit with hammers, they're like pancakes. And look at those who were hit with guns, they're all piled up here and there..."

"stop!"

A soldier from the corpse collection team quickly stopped him and pointed at the person who had spoken: "Don't say any more. If you keep talking, I don't think I'll even have an appetite for pancakes when we get back after this battle."

"Hahahahaha!"

The other members of the body collection team burst into laughter.

Lu Wushuang stood in the distance, watching them. A hint of a smile appeared on her stunningly beautiful face beneath the bronze mask. "Your attitude is pretty good."

Deputy General Yang Tianyou, looking at the mostly young faces, finally said to Lu Wushuang with a smile, "Your Highness is indeed a thoughtful person. He would rather proceed step by step than let us rush into anything. Otherwise, even if we can win this time, we will definitely suffer heavy casualties."

"It's a pity that the deputy commander was not here. We didn't get to see him transform into a blood dragon and wreak havoc on everyone. It's a pity."

Lu Wushuang smiled slightly and agreed with what Deputy General Yang Tianyou said. Without Zhu Jinzhen's repeated allocation of resources and unsparing training, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry would never be able to win against the well-equipped Hu Lan Iron Cavalry so easily.

It is even more impossible to complete this cavalry annihilation battle in which the outnumbered side defeated the larger force with almost zero casualties, which is worthy of being recorded in history books and written about in great detail.

As for Lian Cheng Bi...

"He is carrying out the mission ordered by His Highness."

"General Lian Chengbi, I come to report."

Before the voice fell, a blood-red figure appeared like a rainbow piercing through the sky and earth, stepping into the air from the direction of Daming towards the direction where Lu Wushuang and the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry were.

The speed was extremely fast.
