Virago from Peasant Family - C260
Therefore, two hundred thousand soldiers and horses should be on par with one million soldiers and horses in Kingdom Liao.
Because Cheng Guanyue occupied the land, when the Kingdom Liao launched her attack, she had sufficient time to prepare.
Moreover, those two hundred thousand strong soldiers were all the best elite troops, it was the result of Wei Shengxiao’s many years of training in the dark.
However, no one knew that Great Qing Dynasty did not have many outstanding troops.
This would also give the enemy an unexpected effect.
As Cheng Guanyue thought of this, her mind started to plan nonstop on what it would be like to have Jade Gate close.
“Boss, we’re almost there.” Cheng Weiwu said as he faced Cheng Guanyue, who was carefully formulating his battle plans.
Hearing this, Cheng Guanyue nodded.
However, she did not expect Cheng Weiwu to follow him resolutely. He was still unwilling to stay in the capital no matter what.
Before they left, Madame Wu and Cheng Fengyang were crying uncontrollably. They only had one son.
If something happened, what hope would they have?
However, Cheng Weiwu had already decided long ago that from the moment his boss had mentioned that he would be going to the battlefield in the future, Cheng Weiwu knew that this day would come sooner or later.
Of course, Cheng Guanyue not only brought two hundred thousand soldiers and horses, she also brought the dozens of strong men she had trained in Cheng Village with her and joined the team voluntarily.
After all, the Cheng Village was closer to the border, and over the years, many soldiers had been sacrificed.
Those brawny men were mostly the descendants of soldiers, so it was understandable that they wanted to take revenge for their ancestors and fathers.
As for her apprentices, they had all joined the army. It could be said that their team was very good.
However, the one million soldiers on the side of the Kingdom Liao were mostly ordinary soldiers, only one hundred thousand of them were considered as true elite soldiers of the Kingdom Liao.
After all, it took a lot of effort to nurture a truly capable elite soldier of the Kingdom Liao.
Especially since Zong Zhengqi had not stayed in Kingdom Liao for that long, the results of his training was only a small part of it. Adding the fact that the Liao People had personally trained him, he could not even make up a large portion of the total amount.
When they reached the Jade Gate Pass, Cheng Guanyue jumped down from the carriage and ran all the way to the city wall.
He then looked at the people inside the pass, but they seemed to be used to fighting, mostly the elderly, women, and children. The rest of the men from the age of thirteen to the age of fifty had all gathered in the line of guards for the Jade Gate Pass.
Only a few people who were afraid of death would pack up all their belongings and run to other places.
Before the arrival of the main force, the mayor of Jade Gate City had already gathered all his troops and was waiting for Cheng Guanyue’s orders.
However, the most important thing was still to set up a camp. After all, two hundred thousand soldiers was not a small number.
But on the second day after Cheng Guan Yue arrived at Jade Gate Pass, Kingdom Liao sent people to fill the river with sand.
Upon hearing this news, the corner of Cheng Guanyue’s mouth twitched.
But it also gave her a great deal of convenience and time.
Therefore, Cheng Yeyue gathered her subordinates and asked them to choose some of the more capable and outstanding warriors.
The number of people should be around fifty, and at the same time, a hundred people should be prepared.
However, the most important elite troops were still those that had undergone a full moon training.
This was because all of their training was done through the system, and they would soon be able to keep up with the rhythm of Cheng Guanyue’s training.
Sometimes, a single glance and a gesture would let them understand what the next step was.
Thus, after summoning those fifty people, on the same night, they formed a mysterious battle squad.
On the other path, if one jumped off a cliff on a mountain, one would be able to approach the million soldiers and horses.
Initially, the Kingdom Liao generals had also wanted to leave from there, but they were afraid that the warriors at the Jade Gate would smash stones or wooden sticks.
In fact, as long as he persisted to the end, he would be able to break through the Jade Gate Pass.
He wondered if the Kingdom Liao General was pretending to be stupid, or was he waiting for an opportunity to delay something?
The feeling he gave off was not normal.
Cheng Guanyue also wanted to take this opportunity to investigate the actual situation in the Kingdom Liao’s army camp.
It was only the first step, so of course he had to kill a group of Liao elite soldiers and ordinary soldiers without making a sound.
They didn’t even feel anything when that team of Cheng Guanyue’s got close to those people, and were easily killed.
Furthermore, they would usually just wipe their necks quickly. Basically, everyone would be able to kill fifty people within one to two hours.
However, the fiercest one was still Cheng Guanyue, who had killed hundreds more people than the others.
Because the Liao People’s army was too large, they did not panic when the soldiers from the outside disappeared.
Cheng Ya Yue also took advantage of the dark night, when everyone was about to fall asleep, to relax her guard and infiltrate the Kingdom Liao’s army camp.
At this moment, they were discussing how to attack the Jade Gate Pass.
What was unexpected was that the reason why they did not attack, but filled the river with sand, was just to make it easier for them to kill the people at Yumen Pass.
Moreover, they could not attack the Jade Gate Pass, and the people inside could not attack them.
Actually, there was a bridge that crossed the river.
It was said that many people had died in order to build the bridge.
It seemed that even until the previous dynasty, when the Kingdom Liao was still a small tribe, it had not developed to such an extent yet.
Furthermore, the Western Region was located on the road that led to the west of the Kingdom Liao, and specialized in doing business with the Goliaths and Persians.
At that time, in order to develop the business of the former dynasty, they built that bridge. Because it was too slow to trade by boat.
Sometimes, there were too many goods, and they still needed several hours to be shipped out.
For efficiency, they built the bridge.
But it had also allowed the Kingdom Liao to gain a life of expansion, until today, he was able to resist the Great Qing Dynasty.
Now, when the emperor ascended to the throne, he was able to blast the bridge with artillery shells.
As a result, there were other merchants from the Western Regions who were hindered in their trade with the Kingdom Liao.
Their goal was to stay away from the enemy, to guard against the attacks of the Kingdom Liao’s army.
A few years ago, the people of Kingdom Liao wanted to attack the Jade Gate Pass.
However, when they were riding on the warship, wanting to reach Jade Gate Pass, they were hit with a lot of fire cannonballs. Although one fire cannonball was weak, the combination of the many fire cannons made it difficult for the Liao People’s army.
This caused them to lose a lot of soldiers, and the creator of the fire cannon was a powerful explosive specially developed by Wei Shengxiao after returning to the imperial court.
As a result, the people of Kingdom Liao grew wiser and wiser, and continued to think of ways to fill up the great river or build dozens of ships that could not be blown up easily.
However, this required a lot of energy and time.
Perhaps they would have to delay for months before they could attack.
The only way now was to set up camp and wait until they succeeded.
