"The letter was delivered seven days ago. It was snowing heavily in the past few days, and I'm afraid it would not be delivered to His Highness Dun in time." The close servant quickly replied.

Emperor Beichi held the handrail of the throne tightly and leaned forward slightly: "That heavy snow hasn't buried the Northwest Army outside the city?"

"The Northwest Army's tents were indeed buried in snow, and now they all live in snow nests." The deputy general of the city guard did not see Jiang Yan building a snow house with people, but only looked from the city walls, with soldiers wearing black armor coming in and out of the snow pile...

Emperor Beichi frowned: "When will the people of Donghuan be so cold-resistant?"

"They were stationed outside the city and watched for so many days, and they had been holding their troops. I'm afraid they could no longer support..." A general stepped forward to salute, "The last general is willing to lead his troops out of the city to wipe out the enemy."

"Hehe." Mo Lun sneered.

Before fighting with the Northwest Army, Marshal Mo lost two cities in a row and was confiscated after returning to the royal court. Relying on the powerful Yue family, he was not convicted and imprisoned, but was demoted to a fifth-rank guard. He wandered around the imperial city like a street walk every day.

Fifth-rank officials were not qualified to participate in the war, but the Beichi army was in a "bulk" model, claiming to be a powerful soldier of 300,000, and two-thirds were governed by the leaders of five tribes.

Emperor Beichi was in charge of 100,000 troops, and King Dun led most of the attacks on Huyue City and Guilai City, and at this time less than 30,000 could be mobilized. Therefore, at this time, all military generals came to make up the numbers, and even the defending soldiers were sent to make up the numbers.

"Master Mo... isn't it right, why are Mo Shou laughing at?" The general who was speaking just now had a bad match with Mo Lun in the past, and now he is sarcastic when he speaks.

"If the Northwest Army is really at the end of its strength, why not withdraw its troops and stay outside the city as a living target?" Molun looked at Emperor Beichi, "The Northwest Army has always been tricky, and the climate is now harsh. It is the best way to defend the imperial city."

"I'm afraid Mo Shoujie was scared out of his courage. The Northwest Army has reached the imperial city. Isn't even the courage to fight?!" Geda looked at Mo Lun with a sarcastic look on his face, "The Northwest Army has penetrated into my royal court so quickly, so the supplies it brings must be insufficient. Now is a good time to attack. If they wait to replenish supplies, the besieged will become us!"

Emperor Beichi thought the general made a lot of sense. The Northwest Army seemed to have fallen from the sky, so it must be insufficient supply: "When should all the ministers go to war?"

After a long discussion, everyone finally set the war to the afternoon of the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. The reason is that the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month is the small New Year, and the Donghuan army will definitely relax.

"Okay, then in three days, General Geda will lead 20,000 soldiers and generals to fight the enemy!" Emperor Beichi made the final decision.

When a group of generals left the palace, they were discussing the war in a lively manner, and they all spitted, as if they had already defeated the Northwest Army back to Donghuan. Only Molun followed silently behind everyone, seemingly out of place with the people around them.

The little eunuch in charge of horses at the palace gate helped everyone to lead the horses, while pricking up his ears, listening to the conversations of the generals, silently recording the useful information.

"On the night of the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, I will be at Mingyue Tower to invite you to drink, and Mo Shoujie will also have a drink!" Geda shouted loudly.

"General Geda is really forgetful. The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month is the day when you lead troops to meet the enemy!" Mo Lun turned over and horses.

"Take up those Donghuan Sizi who have been buried in snow for more than half a month. It's just a matter of time. As for us to drink tonight!" Geda laughed wildly.

"The general is brave and good at fighting and will definitely return with a great victory. At that time, we will celebrate the general's merits." Everyone agreed.

"Hold!" Mo Lun waved his whip and the horse rushed out.

Mo Lun beat and scolded in his heart: "A bunch of idiots!"

Molun and Prince Yun have fought for so many years, and the Northwest Army has never entered Beichi. Now that it is so abnormal, there must be any conspiracy. This idiot Geda is so underestimating the enemy, he will definitely suffer a great loss.

The sky gradually darkened, and a bright moon rose into the sky. The heavy snow also stopped. The night owl who was sending the letter flapped his wings and landed on the snow pile in front of the snow house.

When Jiang Yan heard the movement, he lifted the curtain of the wolf's skin and came out of the snow house. Ye Xiao saw a fat mouse in his mouth and blinking his big orange-yellow eyes.

"Tsk." Jiang Yan took off the bamboo tube on Ye Xiao's legs with some disgust, and Ye Xiao buried his head in his meal.

Seeing that the sealing of the bamboo tube was intact, Jiang Yan opened it and took out the note inside. It was written with the relevant news about Beichi's fight. Jiang Yan's lips curled slightly: "This Beichi Emperor...he thought of me!"

In the early morning of the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month, the Huotou soldiers set up a large pot and started cooking dumplings that had been prepared for several days. There was war today, not only meat dishes but also full.

Beichi was also gathering soldiers and generals in full swing. As soon as noon arrived, a large number of soldiers and generals emerged from the city and began to line up.

After pulling out the formation, the opponent began to call. The Xuanjia Guard did not disappoint them and quickly met the enemy.

The battle ahead was in full swing, but Jiang Yan, the main general, led a thousand elite troops to the North City Gate. He whistled first, and a head poked out from the city wall. The two of them had the right secret code—

"The odd change and even change."

"Symbols look at the quadrant."

(Danyi: This code doesn't seem to be very big, right? Mingruo tilted his head: I can't think of any other code, just match it, don't care about these details.)

The opponent made a gesture to the bottom, and the city gate slowly opened. Jiang Yan led people into the city and headed straight to Beichi Palace. This time, Jiang Yan used only one move - to hit the west with the east.

Geda was secretly surprised. The Northwest Army, which had been frozen outside the city for half a month, looked red and full of energy. On the other hand, the soldiers and generals he brought out had a gray complexion. When they fought, it seemed that they had not had a meal for three days.

Geda gritted his teeth and attacked forward, but could not resist the Donghuan army suppressing them and was about to retreat under the city wall. Geda looked at the distance. Now if he did not retreat to the city and the enemy attacked him again, the defending army would probably not open the city gate for them.

However, if he retreated to the city now, not to mention how many people would be laughed at, even the Khan would not spare him easily. Geda was still in the battle between heaven and man, and the city gate behind him slowly opened...

Geda gritted his teeth and ordered the generals to retreat to the city first. He heard that he was going to retreat, but his originally neat formation instantly revealed his defeat of throwing away his armor.

Geda is also a man, leaving behind a mat.

Seeing that the general was almost running, he rushed into the city gate after he turned around and shouted, "Close the city gate!"

The "city defender" pretended to close the door in a hurry, but in fact he was not quick at all.

Geda's eyes were filled with fire, and he rolled up a defender with a horse whip and threw it away. He held his position and carried the door bolt: "Hurry!"

This door bolt is as thick as a beam, and it cannot be inserted by a person no matter what.

Several other people deliberately made trouble and couldn't help complaining: "General, you should cooperate well with us!"
