Jinyiwei's psychic case: the opening is Lingbo Weibu

Chapter 1254

Those Tartars with even a little backbone just died from Xu Shan's chanting.

Those who surrender now are all spineless cowards.

In order to save his life, he immediately cut off his braid.

They were being driven away by the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Meanwhile, Xu Shan was controlling the [Earth Prison Pass] and [Yanluo Pass], cooperating with the people on the scene to rescue people and avert danger!

More than ten minutes later, Beiguan, which had been engulfed by flames, returned to normal.

The Ming soldiers who landed took over the defense of the North Pass, and under Xu Shan's arrangement, they also drove the Tartar prisoners to repair the ruins.

"Beiguan, what a commotion."

“The Tartars in the north must have realized that something has happened here.”

"You should order men to repair the pass as soon as possible."

"And notify the Jiangnan Navy to harass and block along the coastline to delay the Tartars' reinforcements."

While personally inspecting the site, Xu Shan gave instructions to his entourage.

Upon hearing this, Wu Jieyu immediately clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Yes. Your subordinate will go and make the arrangements immediately!"

"My lord, although the Tartar navy in Jinzhou suffered heavy losses at our hands, they still have some strength left."

"With our current troop strength, even with the help of [Tulao Pass] and [Yanluo Pass], it is still quite difficult to resist the Tartars coming from the north."

"In case the Tartars of Jizhou and that official in charge turn around and attack Beiguan at all costs."

"We're in trouble now that we're attacked from both sides."

Wang Qinian, standing to the side, carefully analyzed the current situation.

Upon hearing this, Xu Shan smiled faintly and said, "Do you know why I didn't bring Yuanfang and the others this time?"

"what?"

"Firstly, we need him to send someone to inform the Northern Liang army to cooperate with our operation tonight!"

Are we being attacked from both sides?

"How much strength do the Tartars of Jizhou have left to counterattack the Northern Liang?"

"If the food is already being fed to the Beiliang Iron Cavalry and they still can't eat it, then they'll be unworthy of the praise that 'the Beiliang Iron Cavalry is the best in the world'."

Upon hearing his master's arrangement, Wang Qinian praised him without reservation: "My lord is truly a master strategist, able to win battles from afar."

"Sir, if there is one, then there must be two."

"What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?"

"The Jiujiang Navy's assault battalion."

"Although they are not good at naval warfare and are more accustomed to river warfare, in conjunction with the Jiangnan Navy, they are enough to run rampant in the Bohai Bay."

"If handled properly, it would be enough to wipe out the Tartar navy, which was cooperating with the main Tartar force and was eager to rush to the aid of Beiguan. Thus, Liaodong Bay would also be in our hands."

"As long as we firmly control the sea in this area."

"Then the Ming Dynasty will be able to attack or defend as needed."

"We could even land in coastal areas like Jinzhou and open a second front!"

"Once a base is established, troops from Shandong, Henan and other places can be continuously transported to the Tartar territory through the navy."

"At that time, they will either retreat to the deep mountains and forests, or we will gradually erode them."

Upon hearing his father's words, Wang Qinian's eyes lit up instantly.

After capturing Beiguan in this battle, the main force of the Tartars, which was surrounded in Jizhou and other places, will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

They were already at a disadvantage in terms of troop strength, equipment, and logistical supplies. After suffering heavy losses, they would probably be unable to advance north.

In this way, the Northern Liang army can free up its resources to deal with the barbarians.

"The most urgent task right now is to repair the North Pass. We'll just wait for the Jiujiang naval assault battalion to transport the elite troops from the Central Plains over."

"You will personally oversee this matter. Do not let your guard down."

"Yes."

In the following days, upon learning of the fall of Beiguan, the Tartars mobilized their troops in an attempt to reopen the 'homeward' route for their main force.

They even dispatched the entire Jinzhou Navy to assist in this effort.

However, it was precisely his eagerness that gave the Jiangnan Navy and the Jiujiang Navy's assault battalion an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Having secured their position, they deliberately lured the enemy out. In the Bohai Bay, they formed an encirclement and annihilated the Tartars' naval forces, which they had accumulated over a decade of strength.

Having completely lost control of the sea, the Tartars suffered constant harassment and attacks from the Ming Dynasty's naval forces along the way.

Even when the Central Plains Tiger Warriors seized the beachhead at Jinzhou, they had to divide their forces to defend against them.

This situation, where one focus on the beginning but neglects the end, came to an abrupt end after seven days.

Because Jizhou was recaptured by the Northern Liang army.

The main force of the Tartars suffered heavy losses.

With only a few troops remaining, they had to detour through Youzhou and circle back to the northern border via the vast grasslands.

Under such circumstances, the Tartars retreated to a hut to defend against the Central Plains' elite troops who landed in Jinzhou.

After the crisis at Beiguan was resolved, temperatures plummeted as winter approached.

The mighty warriors of the Central Plains might not withstand the severe cold. Therefore, an order was issued to bring them back.

Now that they control the seas, they can proceed with a steady and methodical approach, launching a step-by-step attack on the Tartars next spring.

Inside the North Gate Command Center...

Wang Qinian consulted the map and reported the information he had gathered to Xu Shan one by one.

"After learning that we had seized Beiguan, the Beiliang army used the Iron Blood Hall's strongholds in Jizhou and Yingzhou to release several false messages to the Tartars."

"This led them to choose the wrong route during their evacuation, which resulted in them being ambushed by the Northern Liang cavalry."

"The Tartar general, Ordo, was killed in this battle by the Celestial Master's senior brother, [Drunken Wanderer]."

"Cheng Ying, who was with him, also perished completely under the combined attack of Xu Fengnian, the heir of Beiliang, Gu Tianshi, and Zui Xiaoyao."

"At this point, the main force of the Tartars, now leaderless, escaped with only a portion of its troops by passing through Youzhou."

After listening to Wang Qinian's report, Xu Shan frowned and asked, "Xu Fengnian, the heir of Beiliang?"

"In previous intelligence reports, wasn't he missing after the barbarians and demons invaded Youzhou, his fate unknown?"

After Xu Shan finished speaking, Wang Qinian added, "The information we have so far is..."

"It was Jian Jiuhuang who risked his life to protect him and escape Youzhou."

"During the days he disappeared, he was seriously injured and had to evade the pursuit of the Earth Demon. Therefore, he had no choice but to hide under an assumed name."

"But it was precisely this near-death experience that allowed him to completely master the [Great Yellow Court]."

"According to the report from the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the strength he displayed in his battle with Cheng Ying, the Heavenly Official, should have reached the mid-to-late stage of the Ninth Rank."

"Ok?"

After he finished speaking, Xu Shan muttered to himself with a hint of doubt, "What goes around comes around."

"So where are they now?"

"Fuxian County in the Taihang Mountains!"

"Where are they going and what are they doing?"

"Princess Xu Ying was poisoned by the Earth Demon's 'Demon Soul Poison'. If she hadn't possessed the [Twelfth Grade Golden Lotus of Merit], she would have died long ago."

“Fu County has a Taoist blessed land, where Prince Xu Fengnian has set up an array to remove the poison from the princess.”

"Upon learning that you have refined your spiritual energy, we specially ordered someone to invite you to come and protect us."
