Chapter 641: Tan Aili leads her army to the city

After Tan Aili learned that the fool was in the imperial capital of Maya Principality, she was extremely anxious and did not care at all that her soldiers were facing severe water shortage and difficult situation.

After a short rest, she resolutely launched a forced march and led her troops at full speed towards the imperial capital.

However, the Maya Alliance is actually composed of more than a dozen principalities, and the interdependence between them is extremely close, and any move can affect the whole body.

For this reason, when the Principality of Maya encountered a crisis, other principalities sent reinforcements to the suburbs of Beijing. These reinforcements were mighty and aggressive, and they advanced all the way to meet the army of Pumasai.

You know, once Tan Aili successfully captured the imperial capital of Maya Principality, it would mean that the many small principalities that were dependent on Maya Principality would basically be doomed.

In this situation where the land is flat and there is no strategic terrain to defend, they probably have no choice but to surrender.

Otherwise, the fate that awaits all the nobles of these small principalities is likely to be ruthless purge, with no one left alive.

At this moment, it is no exaggeration to say that the critical moment that determines life and death is imminent! When Tan Aili heard the military intelligence sent back by Senior Sendy, she was shocked, and the pressure that was already as heavy as a mountain suddenly doubled.

Today's mountain divisions are composed entirely of infantry. They fight bravely in the wild mountains and wilderness, but they never carry any mounts with them. This is to minimize the enormous pressure on logistics.

Previously, Tan Aili had written a letter requesting the dispatch of the Imperial Guard Knights to provide support, but judging from the current situation, this hope is likely to be dashed.

The reason was not complicated, it was just because the court was suspicious of Tan Aili. After all, she had become famous and powerful in this battle. If she was allowed to control more troops, the royal family would probably be unable to sleep at night.

Tan Aili was well aware of this, and she knew that such worries were human nature. Therefore, after submitting the petition, whether it could be approved by the court was up to the decision of the higher-ups.

Although she herself had no desire for the throne, there was no guarantee that others would not think so.

In order to avoid unnecessary suspicion, after the caning was completed, Tan Aili decided to voluntarily hand over the military power in her hands and return to Sheldon Castle to serve as a local governor.

From then on, she planned to stay at home and avoid showing up in public as much as possible, in the hope of gradually eliminating the misunderstandings between them.

However, if she really encountered a charge launched by the enemy's regular cavalry, Tan Aili was not completely sure that she could deal with it easily, and it could be said that she would definitely be defeated.

Even if they wanted to retreat to the mountains to avoid the attack temporarily, it would probably be too late.

Faced with such an urgent situation, Tan Aili decisively convened all the generals to hold a crucial military meeting.

Due to several consecutive victories before, the generals of the Mountain Division were convinced by Marshal Tan Aili, so they were basically able to carry out the orders she issued.

You know, they didn't have the ability to hold the defense line before! When Marshal Tan Aili appeared, he was unstoppable and directly repelled millions of enemy troops.

Moreover, she led the army in pursuit all the way. With such glorious military achievements, her military talent and strength can be clearly understood with just a little thought.

Okay, enough of the small talk, let’s get down to business.

After intense and fierce military discussions, an important strategic decision was finally reached: it is necessary to seize the key location of Luoxiapo.

Because only by occupying this advantageous terrain can we effectively weaken the huge power brought by the enemy's cavalry charge. At the same time, we must send General Tok to lead 2,000 elite archers to continue to create chaos in the enemy's rear and disrupt the enemy's deployment.

Time was running out, the situation was critical, and there was no room for delay. So all the soldiers moved quickly and launched a forced march to save every second. They traveled 15 miles at top speed, aiming directly at Luoxia Slope...

When reinforcements from the principality arrived, Tan Aili had no choice but to bite the bullet and use the hilly terrain to hold her ground, sending scouts back to the court for help.

Sighing at the cowards in the court, they actually suspected me. If there were tens of thousands of knights on standby, why would it be like this? The mountain division was not good at siege, and it was quite difficult to fight. Tan Aili could only sigh to the sky...

The other side assembled more than 300,000 people, which might be their last capital. The previous batch of defeated troops might not be able to join the battle so quickly and were completely defeated.

When they appeared at Luoxiapo, it was already evening. When the opposing commander learned that the Pumasai army had reached Luoxiapo, he sighed and said that it was as expected, and their cavalry had no place to play a role.

The order was given on the spot - to surround the mountain and attack with fire.

At this moment, Jean Tok appeared quietly behind the enemy like a ghost. With sharp eyes, he quickly examined the surrounding terrain and situation, thinking to himself:

This terrain is not favorable to us! After careful consideration, Tok made a decisive decision - to continue the ambush and wait for nightfall before taking action. So he ordered his soldiers to rest on the spot.

These brave and fearless warriors hid in the vast wheat field three miles east of the battlefield. They held their breath and tried not to make any sound, as if they had merged into the quiet wheat field.

The harvest season is coming soon. If this battle fails, the wheat fields that represent the hard work of the farmers will be ruthlessly burned.

However, if they can achieve victory and restore order, the abundant food resources here will undoubtedly become a solid logistical guarantee for them.

This flexible and changeable strategy reflects Jean Tok's outstanding military wisdom, and deep down in his heart, he is not afraid of any possible failure.

On the other side, Tan Aili quietly took a rest under a large banyan tree with lush branches and leaves.

There were several attentive female soldiers beside her who took care of her daily life and handed her some dry food from time to time to fill her stomach. In this rare leisure time, Tan Aili also played board games with the female soldiers with great interest, without any worry on her face.

Seeing the coach so calm and contented, the soldiers' originally tense nerves gradually relaxed and they felt a lot more at ease.

After all, the coach's relaxed attitude seemed to indicate that he had already won the battle. However, no one really knew what Tan Aili was really thinking. Was she really confident and at ease? Or was she already fearful and pretending to be calm?

In short, at this critical moment, the morale of the army was stable, and everyone was quietly looking for a corner suitable for them to rest, recuperate, and wait for the arrival of night and the development of the subsequent war...
