The horse galloped.

He entered Dingzhou City from the side door with his traveling cavalry.

About five minutes later.

Meng Ba and Marpa saw the travel-worn Li Yueming and the others.

Marba looked at them up and down and asked curiously,”What happened?”

Li Yueming didn’t waste his breath.

He directly threw the head of the Qin soldier on the spiritual horse to the ground and said,”A few of my classmates and I went out to search for the Qin army. We found traces of the Qin army a thousand miles northeast of Dingzhou. The information sent back from the border was wrong. The Qin army had a large number of people, a total of fifty thousand, and they were all elite tigers and wolves!”

“We followed them all the way and found that the Qin army seemed to be approaching Dingyuan City!”

Li Yueming’s words were short and powerful, and even his breathing was rhythmic.

It didn’t look like he had traveled thousands of miles.

The first to react was the battle-seasoned Marba.

He also did not waste any time and said directly, “Send the scouts to investigate immediately!”

Meng Ba was stunned.

Then, he hurriedly bowed and received the order, and immediately jogged away.

He was very clear.

If what Li Yueming said was true…

Then, the entire northern border would probably be busy.

After Meng Ba walked far away.

Marba looked at Li Yueming and the people behind him again.

A moment later, he nodded and said, “Continue!’”‘

Li Yueming didn’t hide anything and continued,””We followed the Qin army and gathered enough information. When we were about to return, we were discovered by a few scouts of the Qin army. The scouts followed us and tried to stop us from returning.”

As he spoke.

He lifted the dark red cloth covering the horse’s buttocks.

Five heads appeared in front of Marba.

Marba walked in and casually lifted the head that was tied to the horse’s back.

As an old enemy of the Qin army, Marba was naturally very familiar with the Great Qin army and the Great Zhou army.

Most of the Zhou soldiers ‘provisions and food were mainly rice, wheat, and other grains.

Therefore, the degree of tooth wear would be relatively low.

Although the Qin people also ate grain.

Most of the time can eat all the northwest prairie above the miscellaneous grain.

Even though it could fill his stomach.

However, the taste was very rough and dry.

As a result, the Qin people’s teeth would be more severely damaged.

After observing his teeth and hair, Marba nodded.

Soon after.

He then looked at the spiritual horses behind Li Yueming. After sizing them up for a moment, his eyes lit up and he said,””These spiritual horses are the first generation of wild horses from the grasslands. The ones you killed were actually elite scouts of the Qin army!”

At this moment, a group of people, including Huang Li ‘er and the others.

They all felt that Marba’s attitude towards them had changed greatly.

“Yes… This time, you have made a great contribution. I will report all of this to General You!”

“According to the rules of the Northern Battlefront Army, if you kill five elite scouts, you will be promoted to a centurion!”As he spoke, Marba stroked the glossy fur of the spiritual horse and revealed a not-so-good-looking smile.”However, the situation this time around is a little special…How about this, I’ll write a letter to the imperial court and see if I can ask for a few more official titles!”

As an old general.

Marba looked rough, but in fact, he was very meticulous in certain aspects.

From the bloodstains on Li Yueming’s body and some other details, he could tell that Li Yueming was the only one who participated in the battle.

But now, Li Yueming took the initiative to say that the other three were also involved in the battle.

Clearly, she was hiding something from him.

However, he did not expose her.

After all, he could take the initiative to share the credit and take care of the friendship between his classmates.

This was not easy on the battlefield.

The so-called general was a group of subordinates who could fight to the death to protect him.

Could it become a tool?

This time, Marba’s impression of Li Yueming and the others changed greatly.

The scouts sent out by Dingzhou City found traces of the Qin army in the direction Li Yueming had described.

However, it was already a little too late.

The Qin army was too large, with 50,000 elite troops.

The Northern Battlefront Army couldn’t mobilize so many troops to encircle and suppress them in a short period of time.

Thus, they could only watch as the Qin army headed north.

After being discovered, the Qin army did not continue to hide their tracks.

Instead, he charged towards Dingyuan City without any concealment.

Ten days later.

Dingyuan City was breached by the Qin army.

Fortunately, Dingyuan City was only a temporary city.

There weren’t many civilians and soldiers in the city.

After hearing the news of the Qin army’s attack, they all abandoned the city and left.

Therefore, the Great Zhou Dynasty did not suffer too many losses.

However, the fact that they did not suffer too many losses was the biggest mystery to everyone.

After all, the Qin army had disregarded the risk and crossed the Hundred Thousand Mountains, entering the Great Zhou Empire from a thousand mile away.

Their strategic goal was not as simple as occupying a harmless Dingyuan Cit According to You Aotian and the higher-ups of the Northern Battlefront Arn No matter what the Qjn army was planning.

The Northern Battlefront Army should immediately join forces with King Yu army in the northeast to wipe out the 50,000 Qin soldiers.

However, this resolution was met with the collective opposition of the court and Prince Yu.

The reason given by the court was that there was insufficient food.

After all, the western border had been at war for many years, so it was reasonable for the imperial court to be short of food.

Prince Yu’s attitude was more ambiguous..
