In this battle, the White Tiger Cavalry displayed astonishing combat prowess and seamless teamwork, acting as a unified whole. Every movement and every attack was perfectly timed, as if they had practiced it hundreds of times.
As their leader, White Tiger was like an invincible god, charging ahead and unstoppable.
A figure clad in white armor flashed in the night, like a bolt of lightning, piercing the darkness and illuminating the path ahead.
This battle was the first between Qizhou and Junzhou, and it also marked the beginning of the White Tiger Cavalry displaying their unparalleled combat power with thunderous force.
...
Meanwhile, within the capital of Junzhou, this ancient and majestic city was shrouded in gloom, as if it were the prelude to an impending storm.
On the city wall, soldiers patrolled nervously, occasionally looking up into the distance, their hearts filled with unease and unknown fear.
Inside the city, the Tiger King's mansion was brightly lit, and the atmosphere was heavy. An emergency meeting concerning the survival of Junzhou was being held here.
Tiger King, the once mighty overlord who dominated the northern battlefields of the Great Yong Dynasty, now appeared somewhat forlorn.
He sat in the main seat, his face haggard, his eyes flashing with resentment and anxiety.
Not long ago, he suffered an unprecedented defeat in the southern campaign, losing not only the important southern barrier of Junzhou—Tieshou Pass, but also a large number of troops and supplies, which made Junzhou's defense system instantly vulnerable.
Even the most important elite force in Junzhou, similar to the "Silver Feather Flying Cavalry," was completely annihilated by Ning Piaomiao in Yongzhou.
This was a major blow to the morale of Junzhou.
"Your Majesty, with the fall of Tieshou Pass, our defenses have been breached, and Ning Piaomiao's army could easily advance unimpeded."
An elderly strategist, holding a feather fan, had a deep worry in his eyes. His voice was low and deep, as if every word struck the hearts of everyone present.
"Yes, Your Majesty, we must make a decision as soon as possible, or Junzhou will be in grave danger!"
The general standing to the side, clad in heavy armor, clenched his fists tightly, his voice filled with anxiety.
The Tiger King remained silent for a moment, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, their faces filled with worry and anticipation.
At this critical moment, everyone else can be in a state of chaos, but he cannot be. He is the pillar of Junzhou and the hope of everyone.
"Gentlemen, although Tieshou Pass has fallen, Junzhou has not yet fallen."
"We still have elite cavalry, strong city walls, and loyal soldiers like you."
Tiger King's voice was deep and firm, as if he were encouraging himself and everyone else.
However, at that moment, a hurried footstep broke the silence of the room.
A scout rushed in, sweating profusely, clutching an urgent battle report in his hand.
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"
"The Qizhou army from the west is launching a major offensive and has already begun its attack on our forces!"
The scout's voice trembled slightly, but his words were perfectly clear.
Upon hearing this, the Tiger King's face instantly turned ashen.
He took the battle report, quickly glanced through it, then looked up at the crowd, a fierce glint in his eyes.
"It's like when it rains, it pours. We haven't even dealt with Ning Piaomiao yet, and now we have Li Jing to deal with too."
Tiger King said through gritted teeth, but then took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
"Gentlemen, the current situation allows us no further hesitation."
"Prepare for battle immediately! Even if I die, I'll knock a few of their teeth out!"
The Tiger King's voice was heavy, but even in the most critical moment, he did not diminish his title as the Tiger King.
Instead of backing down and seeking peace, they decided to fight to the bitter end.
Upon hearing the Tiger King's decisive words, the many strategists below lowered their heads in deep thought, while the generals gripped their weapons, preparing for the impending battle.
The atmosphere inside was extremely tense, as if a string might snap at any moment.
"Your Majesty, I believe we should concentrate our forces and deal with the enemy on one side first."
"If we disperse our forces, we are likely to be defeated one by one by the enemy."
A young strategist at the bottom suddenly spoke up, saying, "Since we've already decided to go to war, there's nothing more to say."
"That makes sense, but which enemy do you all think we in Junzhou should deal with first?"
Upon hearing this, the Tiger King's eyes flashed, and he looked at the young strategist, nodded, and then slowly spoke.
This problem weighed heavily on everyone's minds, like a boulder.
"Your Majesty, I believe we should deal with Ning Piaomiao in the south first."
"Because Tieshou Pass has been lost, the southern defense line is the weakest. If Ning Piaomiao's army is allowed to advance unimpeded, Junzhou will be in imminent danger."
An old general stepped forward and bowed slightly.
"No, Your Majesty, I believe we should deal with Li Jing in the west first."
"Qizhou to the west has a strategic location, but it is also full of hills. No matter how strong Li Jing's army is in Qizhou, their marching route is long and their logistics are difficult."
"If we can concentrate our forces and quickly defeat Li Jing, then we can free up our resources to deal with Ning Piaomiao in the south."
However, another advisor shook his head in opposition.
Silence fell again in the room as everyone weighed the pros and cons in their minds.
Tiger King was also deep in thought, knowing that the decision made at this moment would determine the life or death of Junzhou.
Just then, another scout rushed in, clutching an urgent battle report in his hand, his face filled with fear and unease, as if he had brought some terrible news.
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Ning Piaomiao's army from the south has launched a major northward offensive, preparing to invade Junzhou!"
The scout's voice trembled slightly, but his words resounded like thunder throughout the room.
Upon hearing this, the Tiger King's face turned pale instantly.
He knew that the die was cast and the Junzhou army had to make a decision immediately.
"Gentlemen, this is now a critical moment for the life and death of Junzhou."
"My mind is made up. I will concentrate all my forces to deal with Ning Piaomiao in the south first!"
"Now that the Iron Fortress Pass in the south has been lost, the southern defense line is the weakest. If Ning Piaomiao's army is allowed to advance unimpeded, Junzhou will fall completely."
He took a deep breath, then slowly stood up, looking at everyone with a heavy gaze.
This battle not only concerns the fate of Junzhou, but also the illustrious reputation of Tiger King Yisheng and the rise and fall of his family.
"As for Li Jing in the west, we can only temporarily reduce our defensive efforts, but we cannot offer no resistance at all."
"At the very least, we should delay their arrival in Junzhou to buy us some precious time."
Tiger King's voice was slightly hoarse, but it still exuded an undeniable majesty.
