Early in the morning, in the East Wadang Fortress, Wang Nan walked out of the military tent and was accustomed to going around the horse farm in the rear.
After inspecting the fodder and the condition of the horses, he walked around to the front of the fortress, and then he heard the sound of horses' hooves.
A scout officer covered in sweat or dew, drove directly in front of him and jumped off his horse.
Wang Nan's brows furrowed and asked, "How?"
"The front outpost has already responded definitely, and it is the main force of the Damang Eastern Army."
The school officer's face was extremely nervous, and his voice trembled slightly: "Eight thousand light horses in front of you, what should we do?"
"Eight Thousand Light Horsemen Open the Way" Wang Nan narrowed his eyes and slowly repeated this sentence.
As a garrison general who only commanded 2,000 soldiers and horses, this veteran in his fifties could not know the entire battle situation very clearly, but all the military information of the military department was transmitted through the reconnaissance cavalry and through the sergeants guarding the fortress.
A day earlier, Wang Nan had learned from the military information transmitted back from the front that the three fortresses on the front had been captured, and an army of at least more than 70,000 was rapidly advancing and the destination should be Dongjingling.
Wang Nan didn't know the significance of the Dongjingling Tomb to the overall situation of the war at this moment, but he was at least very clear that if the Dongjingling was lost, the east wing of the Falling Star Mausoleum would be completely exposed, and this reckless army could be interspersed from the east side at will and rush to the Falling Star Mausoleum.
The Eastern Tomb was not something that Wang Nan had to consider at all before this.
All he had to think about was holding the fortress and not allowing some small groups of reckless raiders to pass through the fortress and cause some damage to the rear reinforcements and some transport troops.
Another point is to determine the route and speed of advance of the main army of the Damang Eastern Army.
In this way, the Dongjingling side and the entire Yunqin military can better respond.
This Da Mang Eastern Army has at least five marching routes to choose from, but now their "luck" seems to be excellent.
On the rest of the marching routes, there were only small groups of Damang troops, and this fortress of theirs was on the marching route of the main army of the Damang Eastern Army.
Wang Nan had experienced many battles, but he knew that the two thousand garrisons faced at least seventy thousand troops, which was completely different from all the battles he had faced before, and the things he needed to consider now were also completely different from before.
"We only have more than 200 military horses, since the other side is 8,000 light cavalry to open the way, even if our whole army retreats, it will not be too late to run to the rear of the East Jingling, and it is possible to escape, at most one or two hundred people."
Wang Nan's brows slowly loosened, and his face soon began to become calm, "You let Lao Xu and them come to see me, and you let Lao Zhang pick them as quickly as possible, the young, the only child in the family, the dead in the family, and some other reasons, let him weigh it himself, pick a reason, issue a military order to hide from those people, and let those people go." ” When the school officer learned of Wang Nan's final decision, his eyes were slightly moist, but his face was calm, "Okay."
He bowed deeply, saluted the gray-haired old soldier, and then hurried into the camp surrounded by the stone walls behind him.
More than 200 horsemen left the rear of the fortress and galloped wildly towards the east.
Wang Nan stood on the stone wall, watching these subordinates leave, his gray hair waving in the morning breeze, and before the two hundred or so horsemen completely ran out of his sight, but he was sure that it was no longer possible for the two hundred or so horsemen to hear his voice, he turned around and looked at all the more than 1,700 Yunqin soldiers who had quickly gathered under the order of the school officer, and began to tell the truth calmly and methodically as usual.
"I'm sorry, our luck is very good, just on the marching route of the main army of this Damang Eastern Army, soon the opponent's 8,000 vanguard cavalry will come to us, and the rear should be at least nearly 70,000 troops."
All the sergeants fell silent, of course they knew why Wang Nan said sorry in the first place.
"My lord, our Yun Qin is very good, and in the future, the annals of Yun Qin will record what happened to us here."
A school officer suddenly laughed, knelt on one knee, pulled out his waist knife, dragged a bloody hole in the palm of his hand, and said seriously: "Now please arrange our next battle." ” "Please give me the order."
All the sergeants raised their heads, knelt on one knee, looked at Wang Nan, and made a low voice.
Wang Nan looked at all these sons and daughters under him, nodded slowly, and began to issue military orders.
"Smash all the ballistas that can't be moved, can't hide in the tunnels and cellars.
All the grain and grass shall be burned, and all the things except the blades and arrows necessary for the battle shall be destroyed, and not even the iron pot and the camp tent shall not be left for these reckless people."
"Make a mess, a team of people make footprints and give the illusion that we're leaving."
"All the men are hiding in the tunnels and cellars, and when these cavalry enter the camp, we will kill them" The extremely busy East Waddang Fortress soon became quiet and dead again.
The originally extremely neat and orderly military camp became extremely cluttered, like a huge garbage dump, and all the ordnance defending the city on the stone fence that was not too high was overturned and smashed, and piles of grain, grain and grass, burned, and turned into black embers.
The whole fortress was empty, as after the end.
Soon, the field outside the fortress began to shake.
The stone walls and the earthen houses in the fortress, as well as the toppled corner towers, trembled and fell to ashes.
The black and oppressive reckless cavalry came like cháo water, A group of hundreds of horsemen quickly entered this fortress in Yunqin, and after a quick search in the empty and ruined fortress, they found a large number of fleeing horseshoe prints and footprints to the east behind the fortress, as well as many things that fell in a hurry.
A disdainful smile appeared on the face of one of the reckless generals in the cavalry who received such a report, and the reckless light cavalry in brass sè scale armor began to move on, and the cháo water passed through the fortress either from the sides or straight through, completely submerging the fortress.
Suddenly, there was an incongruous scream and exclamation.
The entire fortress suddenly became boiling.
More than a dozen crossbow bolts from the cellar pierced the hidden planks of the cellar, pierced the roof of the earthen house, and fell into the cavalry.
A soldier named Yun Qin frantically poured out from the mouth of the hidden cave, carrying dust all over his body, and strangled with this reckless cavalry.
This year is almost autumn.
All the remaining more than 1,700 Yunqin soldiers in the East Wadang Fortress died heroically.
However, these Yunqin soldiers also caused more than 2,900 reckless cavalry soldiers who were better equipped than them to die in Dongwadang Fortress.

The main force of the Damang Eastern Army, through the Dongwadong Fortress, continued to rapidly approach the Dongjingling.
Time has passed, in the territory of Nanling Province, the situation of many Da Mang troops and Yun Qin's army is like a gear tightly biting, many can get enough military information, even if the level of Yun Qin and Da Mang is insufficient, they have already seen that the decisive battle between Yun Qin and Da Mang in this Nanling Province has arrived, and when these generals see it, it is already too late.
Prior to this, Wenren Cangyue and Gu Yunjing had already smashed all the forces in their hands that they had time to deploy.
In Nanling Province, there are 150,000 local troops marching towards the battle group, but it is too late, which is equivalent to silting up outside this decisive battle.
At this moment, it is very clear that the two areas that play a vital role in the entire decisive battle, Shaohualing and Dongjingling, the defenders of Shaohualing are 40,000, and the Damang army approaching Shaohualing is also about 40,000.
The defenders of Dongjingling were 50,000, and the Damang army that broke through to Dongjingling was at least 70,000.
In terms of the total military strength of the rest of the regions, the Damang army is at a disadvantage, but in these two key areas, the fact that the Damang army can have such military strength can only show that Wenren Cangyue has even gained some upper hand in the battle of more than ten years in front.
According to peacetime, even if the 50,000 defenders of Dongjingling are against 70,000 Damang troops, the military strength of the defenders is not weak, and the 40,000 against 40,000 of Shaohualing is even more advantageous, but this is not an ordinary battle in peacetime, but a decisive battle related to the battle between Yunqin and Damang, in this case, in addition to the number and composition of the army, there are also ordnance and cultivators who determine the final outcome of the battle.
At such a time, such a battle that determines the fate of the two countries and the life and death of hundreds of people in the rear will inevitably appear in a large number of cultivators.
Gu Yunjing didn't know who would win such a war.
Zhou Shoufu didn't know who would win.
Many Yun Qin cultivators who knew the current situation also knew that only when the war ended finally would they know whether Yun Qin's side would win or Da Mang's side would win.
The only thing that is certain is that in a war of this magnitude, any cultivator can die, and the combat power of any cultivator will be correspondingly small.
Lin Xi already knew all this.
Whether it was Vice Dean Xia, Gu Yunjing, or Zhou Shoufu, they would never force him to make any decisions, especially after the great changes in the academy, Qingluan Academy even just sent some news and people to him, and did not make any suggestions for his actions.
Lin Xi on the Shenmu Flying Crane felt that he was also very small in such a war.
But he has integrated into this world, and he can no longer be separated from this world, let alone calmly watch the life and death of countless people.
So even though he didn't know if he had the ability to change the final outcome of this war, he still traveled to the East King's Tomb.
The Shenmu Flying Crane flies among the white clouds of Nanling Province and flies to the East Jingling
