Chapter 596 White Tiger Cavalry Breaks Through the City
Not long after, Yunlu City, located in the heart of Qizhou, this ancient and solemn capital, gained an even more serene and solemn air under the afterglow of the setting sun.
Yunlu City, with its geographical location nestled against the mountains and beside the water, has been the political and military center of Qizhou since ancient times. Today, it is also the seat of Li Jing, an important minister under Su Ye, known as "Li the Pharmacist of Qizhou Iron Wall".
Li Jing sat in the spacious and bright council hall, dressed in iron armor, his face stern. On the table was a detailed map, with the route of the upcoming battle marked in vermilion lines.
Before he received the secret order from his lord Su Ye, he had already made preliminary plans and considerations for sending troops to Junzhou.
Previously, his lord had been busy fighting in the Great Qian and had not been able to attend to Qizhou, so he could only wait patiently. Now the opportunity has finally come!
With a series of hurried footsteps, several agile generals filed in.
These are the people who are now stationed in Qizhou with Li Jing.
The white tiger at the head of the group had a tall and slender figure, and its brows revealed a heroic aura.
Jiao Mo, the Flood Dragon Demon King, and Mo Peng, the Roc Demon King, followed closely behind. These two top-tier war gods, one with an imposing aura and the other with graceful and agile movements, were respectively on the verge of a storm.
Following them were several top-tier generals, including Tian Zaibiao, Lian Erxin, and Nian Deli, each displaying heroic bearing and extraordinary aura.
In addition, there was an official who looked like a scholar, Li Shanchang, who had been "exiled" to Qizhou by Su Ye and was currently serving as the governor of Qizhou.
"Gentlemen, the lord's orders have arrived."
"We will immediately prepare to send troops to Junzhou, and together with Ning Piaomiao of Dayong, we will launch a pincer attack from the north and south to take this place."
"This battle is not only about the morale of our army when we fight against Ning Piaomiao in the future, but also about the overall situation of our lord. I urge you all to do your best."
Li Jing's voice was steady and powerful, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"General Li, when shall we set out? I, Baihu, am willing to be the vanguard, vowing to crush the enemy!"
Upon hearing this, Baihu clenched his fists, his fighting spirit intensifying.
"We two are also willing to follow the general into battle, and we will certainly not fail in our mission!"
Jiao Mo and Mo Peng exchanged a glance and echoed each other.
Tian Zaibiao and others also expressed their stance, and their vows resounded throughout the council hall.
"Before setting out on a campaign, matters such as provisions, supplies, troop deployment, and logistical support must be properly arranged."
"Yunlu City has sufficient reserves, but to ensure everything goes smoothly, we still need to collect supplies from surrounding counties and strengthen communication with Cangzhou. Although their support is limited, any coordination would be helpful."
Li Shanchang stroked his long beard and slowly spoke.
"White Tiger, heed my command! You are hereby ordered to lead 10,000 elite troops as the vanguard to scout ahead and ensure the safety of the marching route."
"Jiao Mo and Mo Peng, each of you will lead 15,000 troops, divided into left and right wings, ready to provide support at any time."
"Tian Zaibiao, Lian Erxin, and Nian Deli, the three of you will follow my central army and lead a total of 30,000 troops to strike straight into the heart of Junzhou."
Li Jing nodded in approval, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, already having made his decision.
"As for Governor Li, the affairs of Yunlu City and the rear of Qizhou will be entirely entrusted to you."
"We must ensure that the soldiers at the front have sufficient food and supplies and that the morale of the people is stable. At the same time, we must closely monitor the movements in the capital of Dayong and Junzhou and transmit intelligence in a timely manner."
Li Jing paused for a moment, then turned to Li Shanchang.
"General, rest assured, with Bai Shi here, there is no worry about the rear!"
Li Shanchang smiled slightly, cupped his hands in acceptance of the order, and the other generals followed suit.
Next, Li Jing elaborated on the battle plan in detail, from the marching route to the tactical layout, and then to the various possible situations and corresponding countermeasures, all of which were meticulously detailed.
In his mind, this battle was not only a test of Ning Piaomiao, but also a test of Qizhou's military strength, and he had to ensure that it was foolproof.
As night fell, Yunlu City was brightly lit, and the council hall remained brightly lit.
After several hours of discussion, the battle plan was finally finalized.
"Tomorrow morning, the entire army will be fully prepared and, with overwhelming force, march straight for Junzhou, to expand our territory and demonstrate our military might!"
Li Jing stood up, looking at everyone with a resolute gaze.
"promise!"
The generals responded in unison, their voices resounding and their morale soaring.
At Li Jing's command, Yunlu City, the capital of Qizhou, instantly sprang into action, with troops being mobilized and supplies being collected, all proceeding in an orderly manner.
The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight pierced through the thin mist and shone upon Yunlu City, the entire city was already bustling with activity.
Troop movements and supplies were being mobilized, and everything was proceeding smoothly.
The White Tiger, acting as the vanguard, had already set off with his White Tiger war cavalry, fully equipped and ready to go.
The thousands of White Tiger war cavalry under his command, like a giant dragon, meandered and coiled on the road, their momentum overwhelming, gradually approaching the border between Junzhou and Qizhou.
At a command, the horses neighed and galloped away. The White Tiger cavalry, clad in white armor, quickly converged from all directions, like a thunderous army descending from the sky, charging toward their target at an astonishing speed.
The hooves of the warhorses pounded the solid ground with a deafening roar, making the earth seem to tremble beneath their feet, demonstrating the unstoppable force of this army.

The White Tiger cavalrymen held long spears, the tips of which gleamed coldly and shone brightly in the sunlight.
The cavalry at the forefront swung their spears with all their might, the tips slicing through the air with a sharp, crisp sound.
"Broken Army!"
With a command from the White Tiger, the sound resounded through the night sky like thunder.
As if summoned by the gods, the White Tiger cavalry behind them accelerated, like an unstoppable torrent, rushing towards the city located on the border of Junzhou.
The speed was so fast that it seemed to freeze time itself, leaving only afterimages flickering in the night.
When the White Tiger Warhorse, led by the White Tiger, charged to the city gate, the White Tiger World-Slaying Spear and the White Tiger King Blade in the hands of the White Tiger at the forefront sliced open the city gate in an instant, just like sharp knives.
The heavy wooden door appeared so fragile under the White Tiger's powerful strength, as if it were made of paper, and was easily pierced through.
The city gate collapsed with a crash, raising a cloud of dust, but the White Tiger did not stop and swept in like a whirlwind.
Thousands of White Tiger Iron Cavalry followed closely behind, filing in like an unstoppable torrent that instantly engulfed the entire city. The sound of their hooves and battle cries mingled together, forming a stirring war song that echoed through the night sky.
The city's defenders were caught off guard by the sudden attack, and they all picked up their weapons in an attempt to resist the overwhelming onslaught.
However, their resistance seemed so futile under the fierce offensive of the White Tiger Cavalry.
The White Tiger cavalry, wielding long spears, charged left and right as if they were in an empty field.
The sharp spear in his hand was like the scythe of death, reaping the lives of enemies and leaving a trail of devastation in its wake.
The battle continued into the night, with the White Tiger cavalry moving like ghosts through the city, searching for traces of the enemy.
