The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

The soldiers were in high spirits.

This means that the matter is halfway done.

Ren Tianye couldn't place all his hopes on the loyalty of these newly recruited soldiers, so he naturally had to make some arrangements.

He now commands an army of 100,000.

The attack should be divided into two parts: one part to attack Shanhe City, and the other part to set up defenses and traps on the left and right peaks.

Immediately, I made a decision in my heart.

He sent 10,000 of his soldiers and 10,000 newly recruited soldiers on horseback to Shanhe City to form the vanguard!

In this way, even if some of the newly recruited soldiers have treacherous intentions, having 10,000 men to keep them in check is a kind of insurance measure.

As for the rest...

He will personally take command, first deploying troops on the left and right peaks, and then, depending on the situation in Shanhe City, decide how many more troops to send.

In any case, there is only one principle: force the barbarians to return from Yunji City to defend it.

Having formulated a strategy, Ren Tianye immediately took up his tent.

He gave the order: "Zhang Shi!"

"Your subordinate is here!"

"I hereby order you to lead 20,000 elite troops and charge straight for Shanhe City, serving as my vanguard."

"General..." Surprisingly, Zhang Shi did not immediately agree as usual. Instead, he said, "General, this humble general wishes to stay and fight the barbarians!"

"The barbarian army of 80,000 attacked my Yunji City, filling me with unbearable hatred. This time, I will lure them back. I intend to fight them to the death on the left and right peaks!"

Ren Tianye gave him a meaningful look.

She could see right through his thoughts at a glance.

I went out and didn't get any credit, I'm panicking!

The plan is to annihilate the barbarian forces on both the left and right peaks.

Ren Tianye didn't press the matter, and said, "Wang Ming!"

"Your subordinate is here!"

"I hereby order you to lead 20,000 men and march straight towards Shanhe City."

"yes!"

Wang Ming didn't waste words. He was never as cunning as these guerrilla generals, and he did whatever the general said.

He just felt that his abilities were limited and he was always worried that he wouldn't do some things well, but now, the general was behind him as his support, ready to come to his aid at any time, so he was not afraid at all.

After the troops were deployed, Wang Ming led his men ahead, followed by Ren Tianye with Zhang Shi and more than 80,000 troops, who arrived at the left and right peaks.

These two peaks are situated in a treacherous location with rugged and bumpy roads, making them ideal ambush points.

Ren Tianye led everyone up the mountain to investigate the situation and immediately began making arrangements.

This is hard labor.

After all, they needed to prepare a lot of logs, rolling stones, and other lethal weapons. However, since they were going to fight barbarians, everyone was quite excited.

I've been busy making arrangements.

Time flew by, and before all the deployments were even complete, a messenger arrived on horseback, then went up the mountain and headed straight for Ren Tianye.

"Great, Great General..."

What's going on in Shanhe City?

Ren Tianye frowned. Seeing the messenger's expression, he knew that something big must have happened, which made him feel uneasy.

"Yes, General Wang Ming has recaptured Shanhe City."

"What?" Before Ren Tianye could speak, Zhang Shi jumped out, almost in disbelief, and asked, "What did you say?"

"Wang Ming, have you already recaptured Shanhe City?"

"Are you kidding me!"

"That's Shanhe City, the most formidable city in the Northern Frontier. Even if a hundred thousand soldiers were to besiege it, and there were only a few thousand people inside, it would take several months to take it down."

"Does Wang Ming have three heads and six arms?"

"How could he possibly recapture Shanhe City?"

Zhang Shi was clearly somewhat taken aback, and Ren Tianye was also surprised, asking, "Are the Zhou and Wu families really that powerful in Shanhe City?"

"Could Wang Ming have so easily subdued it?"

The messenger quickly replied, "General, the merits are partly due to the powerful families within Shanhe City, but primarily..."

"General Wang Ming led his men to the outskirts of Shanhe City, only to find that Shanhe City was already an empty city."

"I heard from those aristocratic families that there have been changes among the barbarians in Shanhe City these past few days. However, they are too afraid of being bullied by the barbarians to approach and investigate."

"But General Wang Ming analyzed that, in the past few days, the barbarians, led by the third prince of the barbarians, Tuoba Xiangtai, have already left Shanhe City."

"This left Shanhe City as an empty city."

"General Wang Ming captured it with ease."

"Furthermore, General Wang Ming has sent troops to search in all directions, but no trace of the barbarians has been found, nor have any flammable materials been buried in the city. It is just a normal withdrawal of the barbarians."

Before the messenger could finish speaking, Zhang Shi's face had already turned ashen.

Damn it!

He followed the general out of the northern frontier, but in the battle of Sifang City, he didn't gain any merit whatsoever; it all benefited Wang Ming.

This time, I thought I could achieve more merit than Wang Ming, but... Wang Ming occupied Shanhe City so easily.

That's Shanhe City!

Regardless of how it was captured, it is the number one city in the northern frontier. The achievement is so great that it makes him drool!

"Oh no, oh no, from now on I won't be able to address Wang Ming respectfully as General anymore; I might even have to kneel down."

Ren Tianye also looked surprised.

Suddenly, I wondered if Wang Ming might be his lucky star?

In my memory, as long as I had Wang Ming with me, we were invincible.

Whether it's Yunji City, Sifang City, or the current Shanhe City.

As long as he has Wang Ming with him, or Wang Ming takes action, he can always obtain it with ease.

"It seems that keeping such a good person by my side was the right choice."

Ren Tianye was very happy, but soon that happiness turned into confusion.

The barbarian army of 80,000 attacked Shanhe City.

The Third Prince, Tuoba Xiangtai, was left to command 20,000 troops to guard Shanhe City, but now, Tuoba Xiangtai has abandoned Shanhe City and run away!

What is Takuba Shota up to?

Could there be some conspiracy or trickery involved?

Or is it merely a strategic adjustment by the barbarians?

With his keen intuition, he felt that there must be something fishy going on, but he couldn't figure out what it was for the time being.

Moreover, easily capturing Shanhe City will also bring about a change in the situation.

If this was done intentionally by the barbarians.

So, will the barbarians abandon their attack on Yunji City and instead come to the rescue of Shanhe City?

Ren Tianye frowned.

Thinking about it.

After a moment, his gaze hardened: "Continue to set up defenses and wait for the barbarians."

Anyway, the defenses on both sides are almost complete, so let's take a gamble. Besides... once the barbarians invade the northern frontier, they will lose their base of operations. For the barbarians, there is only advancement, no retreat.

Therefore, Shanhe City is absolutely not to be lost by them. So, it's most likely that the barbarians didn't give it up voluntarily; something must have changed.

A change he was unaware of!

However, given the importance of Shanhe City to the barbarians, the barbarians would not abandon Shanhe City and continue attacking Yunji City.

Therefore, they guarded the left and right peaks.

Ren Tianye made up his mind, but the name Tuoba Xiangtai involuntarily popped into his mind. He had a feeling that Tuoba Xiangtai was up to something!
