Chapter 841 Cunxiao Climbs the Wall and Battles the Southern Palace!
"I Summon Famous Generals from All History in Another World" is currently being serialized and is not to be missed!
The usual terms used to describe famous coaches are insufficient to describe Meng Zhang's extraordinary talent.
For a genius like Meng Zhang, who can single-handedly influence the situation of a dynasty or even the entire Tianwu Continent, perhaps describing him as a world-shaking commander would be more fitting.
One person can rule an entire generation... or even an entire era!
Therefore, it was precisely because he knew Meng Zhang that Gu Changqing was so solemn about the Yellow Turban Army's operation. This was by no means a simple bandit disturbance, but a truly fierce battle concerning the survival of the entire Daqian Dynasty!
However, as the pillar of the Great Qian Dynasty, even though he knew that the Great Qian Dynasty did not actually have much of an advantage in the face of the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers led by "Dragon General Commander" Meng Zhang.
He too had to step forward and do everything in his power to save the crumbling Great Xia!
"Grand Tutor, the imperial court's mobilization order has arrived. How should we respond?"
Beside him, Qiu Longteng, who had been relegated to the position of deputy general after Gu Changqing took charge, quickly stepped forward with an equally grim expression.
This fierce general, known for his radical interests, also had a hint of anxiety in his eyes at this moment.
Gu Changqing pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze to another deputy general, Yin Yuanxun.
"Yuanxun, the defenses in the northern frontier have just been through a major battle and have not yet been fully repaired."
"But now the Southern Dynasty of the Great Qian Dynasty is facing an even greater threat. The Yellow Turban Army in Luzhou is marching north, and I must go south to take charge."
Yin Yuanxun is steady and cautious in his actions, and is one of Gu Changqing's most trusted assistants.
"Rest assured, Grand Tutor, I will do my utmost to defend the northern border and prevent the Nightshade Army from taking advantage of the situation."
Yin Yuanxun was not one to fail to see the situation clearly; he quickly nodded, his expression resolute.
"Long Teng, you have been with me for many years and know the ways of cavalry warfare very well."
"On this trip south, I want you to come with me and lead an elite cavalry force to quickly reinforce Qianyuan County."
Gu Changqing nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at Qiu Longteng.
"Grand Tutor, this humble general swears to follow you to the death and will certainly not fail in his mission!"
Upon hearing this, a hint of excitement flashed in Qiu Longteng's eyes. He had long yearned to make a name for himself on the battlefield, and now he finally had the opportunity.
Gu Changqing then looked at his son, Gu Wu, who was standing silently to the side.
"Wu'er, you will also come south with your father. Your martial arts skills are extraordinary, and you may be an important force for our journey."
Although Gu Wu is young, his strength has long been at the level of a war god, which is a source of pride for Gu Changqing.
"Father, I've been prepared for a long time."
Gu Wu nodded, his eyes revealing excitement.
After a brief arrangement, Gu Changqing began to frequently deploy troops.
He left the 100,000-strong army he had already integrated in the north, along with the two generals of this army, Fengxue and Shandian, to Yin Yuanxun.
Both Fengxue and Shandian are battle-hardened warriors. With them around, Gu Changqing believed that Yin Yuanxun could hold the northern frontier.
"Yuanxun, Fengxue and Dianshan are both capable generals. With them around, you can rest assured."
"But I must especially warn you to be careful of Wei Qing's troops north of Hengzhou."
Gu Changqing's tone was solemn, and his eyes revealed a hint of worry.
Gu Changqing was still somewhat wary of Wei Qing, his "neighbor" who had been stationed in northern Hengzhou.
Although Wei Qing was far too young in his eyes, the talent he displayed was enough to make Gu Changqing look at him differently.
Moreover, they have clashed with the renowned Nightshade Iron Cavalry of the Northern Frontier on several occasions, and even on several occasions, when they were outnumbered, they won with fewer troops and even defeated the cavalry with infantry!
With the Night Fury Cavalry constantly racking up victories, Wei Qing's name has become almost legendary in the Northern Frontier.
Although the Imperial Guards he led were few in number, they were extremely powerful and acted in a secretive manner, often catching people off guard and putting considerable pressure on the Night Fiend Army and even the neighboring Great Qian Army.
Furthermore, Wei Qing's Imperial Guards are currently stationed north of Hengzhou, not far from the northern border defense line.
"Grand Tutor, rest assured. This humble general has long been prepared for Wei Qing's actions. By only defending and not attacking, I believe that no matter how capable Wei Qing is, he cannot do anything to me."
Upon hearing this, Yin Yuanxun's expression also became serious, but he still said softly, "Try not to worry Gu Changqing."
"Yuanxun, Wei Qing is no ordinary man. Now the entire Daqian is engulfed in war, and his Imperial Guards have been stationed in large numbers in northern Hengzhou. There must be a conspiracy."
"You must remain vigilant at all times and not let your guard down in the slightest."
Gu Changqing nodded, but his worries had not completely dissipated. He knew how difficult Wei Qing was to deal with, and this opponent should not be underestimated.
"Rest assured, Grand Tutor, I will do my utmost to defend the northern border and await your triumphant return."
Yin Yuanxun nodded solemnly, knowing that after Gu Changqing left, he, as the successor to the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Frontier of the Great Qian Dynasty, would bear a heavy responsibility.
"Long Teng, Wu'er, let's set off south immediately."
"The journey is long and the war is urgent. General Nangong is going south to Qianyuan City alone with his army. I'm afraid he won't get away with it from Meng Zhang."
Gu Changqing nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at Qiu Longteng and Gu Wu.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Longteng and Gu Wu nodded in understanding. The three of them quickly prepared their troops, selected an elite cavalry unit, and prepared to march south to aid Qianzhou.
"Yuanxun, the safety of the northern frontier is entrusted to you. You must be careful and cautious, and not be careless in the slightest."
"Once the Yellow Turban Rebellion is resolved, I will return to defend the northern frontier with you."
Before leaving, Gu Changqing gave Yin Yuanxun another few words of advice.
"Rest assured, Grand Tutor, this humble general will certainly defend the northern border and await your return."
Yin Yuanxun nodded, his eyes shining with determination.
Gu Changqing gave Yin Yuanxun a deep look, then waved his hand, leading Qiu Longteng, Gu Wu, and the elite cavalry unit on their journey south.
...
The next morning, as dawn broke, a commotion was already raging outside Qianyuan City.
In the swirling morning mist, the Yellow Turban army's camp in Luzhou resembled a giant beast awakening, ready to pounce.
Li Cunxiao stood at the front of the battle line, his eyes piercing through the layers of mist, staring directly at the crumbling city.
Behind him stood hundreds of burly Yellow Turban warriors, ready to engage in battle at any moment.
Under Meng Zhang's command, the burly Yellow Turban warriors, like moving mountains, wielded giant shields and slowly advanced, providing cover for the subsequent attacking forces.
Behind them were all sorts of siege weapons: battering rams, ladders, catapults, ballistae, and more, all meticulously crafted by Mohist artisans and possessing immense power.
The battering rams roared like giant beasts, each impact causing the city walls to tremble, as if they were about to collapse at any moment.
Ladders were piled up like a forest on the city wall, and Yellow Turban soldiers climbed up like ants, engaging in a fierce battle with the defenders.
Catapults and ballistae continuously rained stones and arrows at the city walls, making it difficult for the defenders to raise their heads.
The Great Qian Dynasty's garrison and the Thunder Dragon Cavalry, who were defending the city, were facing unprecedented pressure.
