In late April of the fifth year of Yongzheng's reign, the war at the border had lasted for nearly a month. Two of the nine important border towns were attacked for the first time in more than 20 years. The nearby Xuanfu and Jizhen continuously sent troops and supplies.

Dajingtong was caught in a fierce battle with the Khalkha Mongols and the Later Jin forces in the northern desert, but they did not know that the grassland and Liaodong had undergone earth-shaking changes.

On the grassland, the Balin tribe migrated to Xilin Jiuqu and controlled the throat of the eastern desert. The Khorchin tribe was completely integrated, driving more than 100,000 people from the Eight Banners of the Later Jin, Manchu, Mongolian and Han, to build a large city in the Jirim League, named Tongliao, and trained 3,000 Tianlang Riders and 9,000 Canglang Riders to run rampant around.

The capture of Shengjing, the capital of the Later Jin Dynasty, once led to the reappearance of two powerful Jurchen tribes in Liaodong. The former Haixi Jurchen Hada and Huifa tribes returned to their ancestral lands at the great bend of the Songhua River and the Ashi River Basin, completely destroying all the ruling foundations of the Later Jin outside Liaodong and southern Liaoning.

The power of the Hada and Huifa tribes expanded rapidly, with a population of more than hundreds of thousands and tens of thousands of armored soldiers. They completely occupied many cities built by the Later Jin, including farmland, minerals, etc. If they were given some time, even if Yinzhen of the Later Jin led his army back, it would be useless.

Southern Liaoning has always been a place where the Han people lived. The three thousand Longxiang guards frequently attacked, slaughtered the Jurchen Tartars, appointed prefectural governors and county magistrates, issued weapons and armor, and restored the governance of the Han people. The Later Jin established by the Jianzhou Jurchens was shattered.

""Shua! Shua! Shua!"

In the Shengjing Palace, Jia Xuan was practicing the martial arts of the immortals.

His figure was like a dragon or a tiger.

There were many sounds of wind and thunder when he walked.

Sometimes he was strong and fierce, and sometimes he was as fast as the wind.

The blood-red innate true qi lingered in his hands, becoming more and more pure.

In just ten days, under the nourishment of the spiritual energy of the Bu Tian Stone, he had passed the early and middle stages of the innate state and entered the late stage of the innate state.

He was only one step away from the great perfection.

Moreover, with a single arm of 80 jin of strength, the ten-stone bow he used was no longer usable, and he could pull a twenty-stone strong bow.

It was a pity that there was no bow stronger than ten stones in the world. The bow body and bowstring alone needed to be specially made, which was difficult to find.

""General!"

Beiya rushed in happily, his steps were much more cheerful, holding a mighty bow as tall as a person in his hand.

A closer look revealed that the bow was yellow-brown with a hairline, and the two sections were inlaid with wootz steel. The bowstring was thick, and it faintly exuded a sense of coldness.

"Is this successful?"

Turning back, Jia Xuan's eyes flashed with a gleam of light.

"Yes, the Lord"

"We handed over the tiger tendons we had hunted in Xishan and the buffalo horns and other items treasured in the Later Jin treasury to the Jurchen craftsmen."

"It's true that these craftsmen have great bow-making skills. They made this tiger tendon bow. I have tested it and it is indeed a 20-stone strong bow."

"This bow requires special feather arrows. I have ordered people to make a hundred feather arrows with the feathers of soap eagles."

While speaking, Bei Shi quickly handed over the tiger tendon bow.

""Bang!!!"

Jia Xuan reached out to take it, and pulled the bowstring with one hand. Like a full moon, a dull sound shook the entire hall, and the lethality was obvious.

""What a good bow!"

It must be said that this tiger tendon bow is very pleasing to the eye. If it is paired with a carved feather arrow, it can take the enemy's head from 500 steps away.

In a world with extraordinary military power, a good bow is of great help, no less than a magic weapon.

"General!"

"The three thousand dragon guards have all entered the great perfection of martial arts"

"Some of the best have already stepped half a step into the realm of warriors."

"The news from the Black Guards is that Ningyuan is on the verge of collapse. The Imperial Army has suffered 80,000 casualties, and the Jurchen Tartars have also suffered heavy casualties."

"The latest news from Datong Town: Datong Lieutenant General Ben Jinzhong personally led 3,000 cavalrymen to attack the camp at night and defeated the Mongols. Zheng Keshuang led the 12th regiment of the capital to attack the camp, but he did not expect to encounter an eighth-rank warrior and was seriously injured and on the verge of death."

"The person who now takes over Zheng Keshuang is Wu Shifan, the third-class earl of Gongcheng Marquis Mansion."

Bei Shi reported everything in detail, his eyes full of hope.

These days, the Longxiang Guards have been recuperating in Shengjing, and the ginseng, deer antlers, and tiger bones from the Hada and Huifa tribes have been opened up for supply. Their strength has greatly increased. A single Longxiang Guard can easily kill a third-rank warrior, and they are not without the strength to fight against a fourth-rank warrior.

On the Ningyuan front, 300,000 Jurchen Tatars have been fighting with the soldiers of Dajingjing Camp and Jizhen for more than half a month, and both sides have reached a critical point.

At this time, any force that appears on the battlefield is enough to become the last straw that overwhelms the situation.

"It seems that the Yuan Cong lineage is going to change its leader. This time, a new noble will probably be born. With Ben Jinzhong's merits, he will at least be a third-class earl."

"Since the situation on the Ningyuan front is so tense, it is time for us to take action. Pass the order down, all the troops should pack up their things, one man and three horses, and rush to Ningyuan."

Waving his hand, Jia Xuan shouted in a deep voice

""Yes!"

Bei Shi turned around and made arrangements.

On the same night, three thousand Longxiang Guards left Shengjing, captured Panjin, crossed the Daling River, and captured Jinzhou in one fell swoop, cutting off the retreat of 300,000 Jurchen Tatars of the Later Jin.

At the same time, nearly a month of fighting had made the patience of the Later Jin Khan Aixinjueluo Yinzhen reach its limit. He could not bear it anymore and ordered the entire army to launch an attack in the early morning. The remaining more than 200,000 Jurchen Tatars were all thrown into the battlefield.

Aixinjueluo Yinxiang was in charge of the central army, and Ortai, Ying Changqi, and Yang Jishan, three eighth-rank warriors, personally led the army to attack the other three city gates.

For a time, unprecedented pressure enveloped the Ningyuan defenders. Even Niu Jizong, Nian Gengyao, Hou Xiaokang, and Liu Fang had already climbed the city wall, fighting in armor, and the battle situation was once in the most tragic situation.

""Dong! Dong! Dong!"

On the city gate tower, dozens of burly men with bare chests waved drumsticks and hit the drum heads made of cowhide heavily. The dull drum sounds spread in all directions.

"Brothers, fight to the death for the country, kill!"

On the city wall, shouts of killing were heard one after another, and the air was filled with the disgusting smell of blood.

The Jurchen Tatars did not attack when the sun was fully out, but chose the time of Mao, when people were most tired. All the siege equipment was brought out at once, including battering rams, ladders, etc., and a huge crowd of people was moving. Niu Jizong

, the general of the Liao expedition and a first-class earl, had a long sword in his hand that was already bent. He didn't know how many enemies he had killed, and his face was covered with bloodstains.

The bodies of the Jurchen Tatars had piled up like a mountain under the city, and the iron gate was shaking. The gate was completely blocked by countless bricks and stones.

The bloodstains on the ground were so thick that it was hard to tell how many layers there were. Every time they dried, new blood would be spilled on them.

The Dajing soldiers, wearing khaki armor, fought desperately with the Jurchens. Neither side gave in. Even if the blades were pierced into their bodies, they would not miss the opportunity to fight back. The Beijing camp had been exhausted, and now it was the young and strong people in Ningyuan City who were fighting.
