Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

The generals in the commander's tent were all very puzzled as to why the barbarian army did not use battle formations.

Since the barbarian battle formation is so formidable, why not just use it to fight against Dayue? In the current situation, the barbarian army is practically made of paper.

At this moment, a general offered a different perspective. He looked at Emperor Yue and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, the reason why the barbarians do not use battle formations is not because they lack battle formations, but because they have not yet mastered the legendary battle formation."

"If the barbarians had already mastered the battle formation, the barbarian goddess would probably have led the barbarian army south before the Dayue army even marched north."

Upon hearing this, the generals in the tent looked at each other, all agreeing that what the great general said made some sense.

Their previous intelligence indicated that the barbarians were practicing using that special battle formation. Perhaps it was because the Dayue campaign was timely that the barbarians had not mastered the use of the battle formation, which meant that the barbarian army could only flee when they saw them.

Just when everyone thought the general's words made a lot of sense, Emperor Yue spoke up and said, "Not necessarily."

Upon hearing these two words, the generals all turned to look at Emperor Yue. Emperor Yue continued, "The barbarian goddess intends to lure me deep into the heart of the barbarian territory, then cut off Great Yue's logistics and wipe out Great Yue's main force in one fell swoop."

As soon as the words fell, the generals were stunned. The possibility that the Empress Yue mentioned was not nonexistent, but rather very likely. Perhaps the barbarian goddess really thought so.

Emperor Yue continued, "According to the intelligence we've gathered, the barbarians have been practicing the battle formation of the barbarian goddess for a long time. Even if they can't use it skillfully, they should at least be able to use it. It's impossible that they haven't used it even once by now."

After hearing the Emperor's analysis, a general asked, "Your Majesty, what should we do next?"

"If we continue the offensive, our supply lines will be stretched too thin, and there's a high probability that our supplies won't keep up."

Empress Yue fell into deep thought, quietly looking at the map on the table, seemingly pondering something.

After a long while, Emperor Yue finally spoke, "Let's set up camp here for now and send the vanguard to scout ahead. I want to see how long that barbarian goddess can hold out."

After the Emperor Yue issued his order, Dayue immediately dispatched its vanguard cavalry deep into the heart of the barbarian territory.

at the same time.

Inside the barbarian royal court's camp.

Mu Yunxi was also looking at the map. After glancing at the markings on the sheepskin map, she said, "The other side should have realized our purpose. Their progress is getting slower and slower, and they probably won't continue for the next couple of days."

At this moment, a barbarian king stepped forward and said, "Goddess, let our Sand Witch tribe lead the vanguard! Our tribe was the first to learn battle formations and is most familiar with yours. As long as our Sand Witch tribe goes into battle, the Great Yue army will be defeated by us in less than an hour!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yunxi glanced at the Sand Witch King. The Sand Witch tribe was indeed the first tribe to practice using battle formations, and the barbarian soldiers of the Sand Witch King's tribe were all very powerful, with many high-ranking warriors. When they used battle formations, the formations could be sustained for a relatively long time.

Although Mu Yunxi had seen the Sand Witch King's army use battle formations, the Sand Witch tribe's battle formations had not yet been tested in actual combat, so it was hard to say how much power they could unleash with the Shangqing Tenglong Formation.

Seeing the Sand Witch King's eagerness, the other barbarian kings couldn't stand still any longer; they also wanted to make a good impression on Mu Yunxi.

"Goddess, let our Blackwater tribe lead the charge. Although the Sand Witch tribe was the first to practice battle formations, they have almost no actual combat experience. At least we used them once when we attacked other tribes."

"Goddess, let our Duohuai tribe lead the vanguard..."

"Goddess, or us..."

In an instant, the camp was in chaos, with everyone wanting to be the vanguard.

They knew very well that whoever acted as the vanguard would have the greatest merit, and the more rewards they would receive from the goddess after conquering Dayue, the more opportunities they would have. Therefore, none of them were willing to give up this opportunity to someone else.

But at this moment, Mu Yunxi spoke up: "Sand Witch King, since you want to be the vanguard so much, then I will give you this opportunity. I hope you will not disappoint me."

Upon seeing that Mu Yunxi had chosen him, the Sand Witch King was extremely excited. He immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, Goddess! I will certainly not let you down!"

At that moment, a barbarian soldier's voice rang out from outside the tent, "Goddess, battle report from the front!"

Mu Yunxi said calmly, "Come in."

Immediately afterwards, the barbarian soldier who delivered the message entered the tent, knelt on the ground and said to Mu Yunxi, "Goddess, the Dayue army has set up camp and has not advanced any further, but they have sent out a vanguard cavalry to continue deeper into the territory."

Hearing this, Mu Yunxi chuckled and said, "It seems that Emperor Yue has indeed discovered my purpose. Since they have discovered it, they probably won't continue to advance."

"In that case, it's our turn to make a move!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Yunxi began to arrange her troops. She planned to defeat the main force of Dayue in the shortest possible time and then deal with the Empress of Dayue.

She knew Dayue fairly well and understood the importance of the Dayue Empress to Dayue. If they could defeat the Dayue Empress in this war, they would essentially have conquered Dayue.

Originally, she planned to wait five years before taking action against Dayue in order to play it safe, but she didn't expect the Dayue Empress to come to her doorstep on her own initiative, so she can't be blamed for that.

In less than half a day, Dayue's vanguard cavalry spotted the massive barbarian army. The vanguard cavalry had not expected to discover the barbarian's true main force so quickly.

The Dayue cavalry rushed back to report the news. When the Yue Emperor heard that the barbarian army had regrouped and was preparing to launch an attack, she knew that her guess was correct. The enemy had indeed lured them here.

However, Emperor Yue had no worries. Since the founding of Dayue, the Dayue Dynasty and the barbarians had fought many wars, but Dayue had won most of them, and the barbarians could only hide in the northwest.

Some barbarian tribes, finding themselves unable to subdue Dayue, even fled to the northern lands.

At this moment, Yuehuang's fighting spirit surged. She hadn't fought against a strong opponent in a long time, and she had a premonition that the barbarian goddess must be a very powerful enemy.

It was evening.

The crimson sunset hung in the sky, and Dayue had already arranged its military formation, awaiting the arrival of the barbarian army.

After an unknown amount of time, countless dark figures appeared in the distance. Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, the barbarian soldiers looked as if they were wearing bronze armor.

The number of barbarian soldiers was very large, and it was clear that these were the true main force of the barbarians. These barbarian soldiers were strong and powerful, and most of them were warriors.

The soldiers of Dayue then realized that the barbarians they had fought at the beginning were probably just small tribes.

The barbarian army was incredibly powerful. Just as they approached the Dayue army, the horses of the Dayue army were so frightened that they kept neighing, and some even had the idea of ​​running away.

Not only the horses, but even the soldiers of Dayue felt as if they were being watched by some terrifying beast, causing them to tremble involuntarily. (End of Chapter)
