Chapter 125 The Great Devil Doesn’t Want Jing Muyang to Return Alive

Tuoling is to the south of Jing Muyang and his men's current location, Arsalan is to the east, and the prince is leading his troops from the south.

If they went south, they could attract Arsalan's troops from the side and continue to move south. They could not only get rid of the pincer attack from Mulag and Arsalan, but also meet up with the reinforcements brought by the prince and capture Arsalan in one fell swoop.

Then we will attack Mula and destroy the last strength of Beisai.

The battle plan was decided. After a day of rest, Jing Muyang led his army quietly south.

When Arsalan was still thinking that Jing Muyang was going to be attacked by him, he didn't expect that Jing Muyang would make a counterattack. Qingshan and Qingmu each led a vanguard and arrived in front of him.

The two armies soon engaged in battle. Qingshan fought and retreated, and after luring out two groups of Northern Border cavalry, Qinglin and Qingye rushed out from their ambush and cooperated to take them down in one fell swoop.

This action alone enabled Jing Muyang to seize a lot of war horses, and together with those he had snatched from those who had intercepted him along the way, it was enough for him to arm all his soldiers.

Now, all of Jing Muyang's infantry have war horses, and the speed of advancing will be much faster.

According to the original plan, Jing Muyang did not take advantage of the victory to attack, but continued to retreat southward.

Arsalan has already assembled 70,000 to 80,000 troops, and will not take the loss seriously at all. He will definitely chase after them.

Things turned out just as Jing Muyang had expected. After seeing his sister's tragic death, Arsalan blamed all his anger on Jing Muyang and vowed not to stop until he caught Jing Muyang!

Anger can make people crazy. On this point, Jing Muyang underestimated Arsalan's feelings for his sister.

Arsalan's parents died early, and he only had one younger sister. They depended on each other since childhood and had a very deep relationship. When his sister fell in love with Agula, even though Arsalan did not like Agula very much, he still risked his life to help him seize power. When he learned that his sister was ostracized by Agula's harem and almost harmed, he slammed the table and killed her.

Now that his sister had died tragically, he could hold back his rage? That was impossible!

So, when Arsalan discovered Qingshan and the others, anger and excitement rose in his heart. In his northern territory, where could Jing Muyang run to?

He knew that the Crown Prince of Lingyin Kingdom had brought troops to help, but he also knew that there was a big devil in the dark. Although he didn't know who it was, the big devil didn't want Jing Muyang to go back alive.

Of course, Arsalan still wanted to capture Jing Muyang personally, so he ordered a full-scale pursuit.

Even though Jing Muyang was prepared, he was still overwhelmed by the successive bombardments of troops.

Aoki got off his horse. The soldiers were exhausted after fighting for three consecutive days.

"Your Highness, Arsalan is rushing here at full speed and will probably catch up with us tomorrow."

"Well, give the order. We will enter Tuoling today and hide in the mountains and forests. We will mainly ambush and try not to engage in direct confrontation. We will buy time and wait for the prince to come to our aid."

"Yes!"

In this way, Jing Muyang led his army into Tuoling.

*

Arsalan chased here and stopped, but he didn't expect Jing Muyang to enter Tuoling.

Tuoling connects to the western mountains and is the remnant of the Tianshan Mountains. Tuoling is about forty or fifty miles in radius and there are many ferocious beasts in it. Moreover, the terrain is complex and covered with coniferous forests. Once you enter it, you will feel dizzy and lose your way if you are not careful.

Especially since it has snowed since the beginning of winter, it is estimated that heavy snow will come soon. If the mountain is blocked by heavy snow and we are trapped in Tuoling, there is basically only one outcome.

Arsalan laughed as he looked at the traces left by the army entering Tuoling. Was Jing Muyang seeking his own death or was it that God wanted to take Jing Muyang away and not allow him to interfere?

Although he really wanted to capture Jing Muyang with his own hands, he didn't want to get himself involved. Tuoling was not a fun place.

After discussing the cessation of military operations for a long time, Arsalan decided to divide the troops into three routes, with the two routes to the east and west bypassing Tuoling and blocking the other side of the mountain directly, cutting off Jing Muyang's chance to meet up with reinforcements, which was equivalent to surrounding them and trapping them to death in Tuoling.

What about Jing Muyang? Doesn't he know this? How could he not know?

Although he had never been to the heart of Beisai, let alone entered the mountains and forests of Beisai, he had heard that Beisai Tuoling could make people lose their way. He had discussed this with Chujian at the time. Chujian said that Tuoling might have a very strong magnetic field that could make people lose their way without realizing it, so one could not simply rely on a compass.

As for how to identify directions and survive in the wilderness, and how to deal with various emergencies, not to mention that he himself was a battle-hardened general and had been crawling in the dense jungles of Nanbang for several years, just listening to Chu Jian's chattering about the geographical and biological knowledge of the north and the south and the deeds of her most admired Bear Grylls was enough to broaden his horizons, not to mention that he had also heard of many worlds other than the Three Kingdoms.

Thinking of this, Jing Muyang couldn't help but smile. The world that Chu Jian described to him were all things that he would never be able to experience in his lifetime.

Jing Muyang looked up at the gloomy sky. Chu Jian had told him that although there were dark clouds in the sky, the sun would always shine above the clouds.

Being able to go directly through Tuoling would certainly save a lot of time. Although there are many wild beasts in Tuoling, those beasts are more afraid of the tens of thousands of cavalry.

Jing Muyang had already reached the other side of the mountain when Arsalan's troops had not yet arrived, and the scouts had already discovered Arsalan's battle plan. Jing Muyang directly led his troops to the east and ambush one of the routes, winning a great victory. As for the group guarding the west, they took their time for the time being.

The west side of Tuoling is not an easy place to stay, so perhaps Jing Muyang doesn't even need to take action.

After several days of continuous fighting, the army needed a rest and could wait for the prince's reinforcements.

However, when the agreed time came, the prince did not arrive, and there was no response to the flying letter they sent out, and even the spies who went to meet them did not return.

Jing Muyang felt uneasy. They had contacted the prince four days ago. Could it be that the prince was in crisis?

That’s right, the prince was in crisis. He set out with the fifth prince, bringing 30,000 reinforcements and food supplies.

Just after passing Lianshan, the prince received a letter from Jing Muyang about the assembly at Tuoling. He immediately led 20,000 cavalrymen ahead. Unexpectedly, he encountered a fierce attack halfway. The prince, who had no experience in leading troops, was defeated miserably. He returned with the remaining pitiful troops to reunite with the fifth prince.

Besides, the first time the Fifth Prince Jing Muhao led 500 people to escort the food, he encountered an interception and saved a quarter of the food. The second time, Jing Muyang fell into a trap and lost contact. As soon as he received news from the front, he felt something was wrong and immediately turned around and ran away.

The few men he brought with him, even with so much food and supplies, would be of no help. The best strategy would be to hide in Linxi and pass on the message back to Xucheng to seek help.

But I didn't expect that the prince would be here. The prince was so incompetent. Of the 20,000 cavalrymen, it was estimated that less than 5,000 returned, and they were chased badly.

Jing Muhao led the remaining 10,000 men and rushed forward to stop the Northern Border Wolf Riders who were chasing them.

This is a huge cavalry force, originally sent by Arsalan to intercept food supplies. Especially after Arsalan issued an order to assemble throughout the territory, many tribes joined in. This cavalry force has grown stronger and stronger, and now numbers over 10,000 people.

Given the ferocity of the Northern Border Cavalry, if they had not encountered strong resistance when attacking the prince before, resulting in heavy losses, Jing Muhao's ability would have been insufficient to stop them.
