The cold wind howled, and the snow particles slapped on the cheeks head-on, making Li Qiye, the chief of the Ministry of War, feel pain on his face.
He looked around, and in the hazy wind and snow, groups of refugees were braving the wind and snow to pass them by, and they were all shivering from the cold.
These refugees staggered and retreated to the southeast, carrying bags on their backs and leading cattle and sheep. There were still many frozen corpses by the roadside.
Seeing this scene, Li Qiye, Chief of the Ministry of War, was inexplicably angry.
In this freezing weather, these people should have been in warm homes, but now they are forced to leave their homes.
All of this was caused by the invasion of the desert empire, and all accounts must be settled on the head of the desert empire!
When Li Qiye was full of anger, a group of light cavalry roared in the distance, and the horseshoes made the mud and snow fly.
Li Qiye's guard cavalry saw the cavalry roaring in the distance, and subconsciously guarded Li Qiye in the center, holding the handle of the knife with their hands, and their eyes were sharp.
"President Li!"
When this group of cavalry was about to pass by Li Qiye and the others, a leading general suddenly saw Li Qiye and hurriedly reined in his horse.
"Brother Li, where are you going?"
Li Qiye also recognized this one-armed general, who was Li Tiechui, the deputy commander of the Security Corps.
"I have met Mr. Li, and I am here to greet you under the command of the Commander-in-Chief!"
Acquaintances are very kind when they meet each other, Li Tiechui replied with a smile on his face.
"I thought the lord was behind, but I didn't expect the lord to be so fast." Li Tiechui laughed.
"It's time to work."
Hearing that Li Tiechui was ordered to meet him, Li Qiye also cupped his hands to express his gratitude.
Li Qiye, the chief of the Ministry of War, knew very well that the Northwest War was related to the overall situation of the empire, so he traveled all the way in a hurry, only bringing the cavalry guards with him, and leaving the militia troops escorting supplies far behind.
"What's the situation on the front line now?"
Li Qiye is now eager to know about the battle on the northwest front. After all, the imperial capitals are far apart, and the battle reports have a serious lag.
"It's freezing cold, and the people of the Desert Empire are all in the barracks, but the front line is stable." Li Tiehammer told the truth.
After hearing these words, Li Qiye, the chief of the Ministry of War, finally let go of his hanging heart. What he was worried about was the deterioration of the Northwest War.
Obviously, after the desert empire seized the six prefectures and counties of Daning Province, it stopped at the Ganshui River.
In fact, the desert empire's original plan was to completely take down the entire Daning Province before the snow capped the mountains.
By then, if the Far Eastern Empire wants to fight back, it is estimated that it will have to wait until the beginning of spring. This period of time is enough for them to digest the occupied area.
And after the beginning of spring, the coalition troops will attack the Far East Empire from three directions: north, northeast and east.
At that time, even if the Far Eastern Empire wants to fight back and take back the Daning Province, it will probably be powerless.
It is precisely because of this that the desert empire is so unscrupulous and directly sends troops to assault Daning Province.
However, what the Desert Empire never expected was that the intelligence department of the Far East Empire also noticed some of their changes.
?In order to strengthen the defense force in the northwest region of the Far Eastern Empire, the Far Eastern Empire dispatched the Sixth Field Army to go north to Daning Province.
The sudden appearance of the Field Sixth Army in Daning Province frustrated the Desert Empire's plan to quickly capture Daning Province.
?Because their assault troops in Daning Province were only the First Frontier Army, it was okay to deal with the local security flag regiment of the Far East Empire, but they were really not sure about confronting the Far East Field Army.
Therefore, the Desert Empire can only stop their frontier first army on the Ganshui River line, and urgently mobilize the ace troop, the White Feather Army, to the front line.
However, when their White Feather Army rushed to the front line, the three flag regiments of the Security Corps of the Far East Empire, led by Li Tiechui, the deputy commander, also arrived at the Ganshui River.
The armies of both sides gathered heavily on the line of Ganshui River. Facing the bad weather, the desert empire gave up its plan to attack and planned to wait until the beginning of spring before attacking.
Because the desert empire knew very well that once the spring began, the coalition forces would launch an offensive, and then the Far East troops facing them would fall into a situation where they could not look after each other.
Therefore, there is no need for them to brave the wind and snow to fight the Far East Imperial Army, which is not worthwhile.
in variousUnder the influence of various factors, the armies of the Desert Empire and the Far East Empire confronted each other on the Ganshui River, and no large-scale battle broke out.
Li Qiye also had a general understanding of the situation on the battlefield after hearing the introduction from Li Tiehammer, deputy head of the public security army along the way.
Along the Ganshui River, there are military camps everywhere, scouts and rangers are galloping, and Luka sentries can be seen everywhere, and the air is filled with a strong atmosphere of war.
Li Qiye headed all the way to the command headquarters of the Third Field Army, seeing fortified military camps along the way.
The battle flag was fluttering, and in the fluttering wind and snow, the shouts of the drill were deafening, and the morale of the army was particularly high.
He also saw the serial numbers of many meritorious troops in the founding war, and seeing the strong and powerful imperial army, Li Qiye, the chief of the military department, couldn't help but straighten his waist, and he was a little more confident in the victory of this battle.
Soon, Li Qiye was led by Li Tiechui into a huge military camp that stretched for several miles. This was the camp of the 27th, 28th, and 29th Banner Regiments of the Sixth Field Army.
In this camp, 60,000 elite soldiers from the three banner regiments are fully stationed, so the command headquarters of the third field army is also set up here.
In front of a huge military tent, Liu Yidao, the commander of the Third Field Army, stood proudly, waiting at the gate.
Behind Liu Yidao was a cold light of iron armor, and dozens of strong generals from the third field army stood in the wind and snow.
"President Li came from a long way, but I didn't go out to meet him in person because of my military affairs. I also ask President Li to make amends."
After seeing Li Qiye get off his horse, Liu Yidao strode forward and grabbed Li Qiye's hand tightly, apologizing with a smile.
"Guo Zhong sits in the northwest to deter the enemy and protect our army and people in the northwest. How can I blame him?" Li Qiye also held Liu Yidao's hand tightly.
Although Li Qiye is a bit higher than Liu Yidao in terms of position, but both of them are the Duke of the State and Chen Ziang's right-hand man, so there is no gap between them.
Now they are about to join forces to defend against the enemy again, so they are very enthusiastic when they meet, as if they are old friends who haven't seen for many years.
"The thieves from the Desert Empire invaded our prefecture and killed our people. Now that President Li has arrived and is in charge, their good days are coming to an end¡ª" Liu Yidao laughed.
Li Qiye hurriedly waved his hands and said: "I was only ordered to assist Duke Zhong. It's okay to give advice, but to lead the army and fight, I still need to rely on Duke Zhong."
After the two exchanged a few words in front of the military tent, Xu Yong, the head of the Sixth Field Army, Li Changqing, the head of the Public Security Army, Han Tao, the deputy head of the Sixth Field Army, Wang Hu, the deputy head of the Sixth Field Army, and others also all stepped forward to meet with them. Li Qiye saw the ceremony.
These arrogant soldiers are brave and invincible on the battlefield, but they respect Li Qiye, the chief of the military department.
After all, Li Qiye, as Chen Ziang's right-hand man, once served as chief of military affairs, chief of staff, etc., and has a high prestige in the army.
Moreover, Li Qiye has always been clear about rewards and punishments in his work, and does not show favoritism, so these generals in the army have a good impression of Li Qiye. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
