There is no trade or even intermarriage here. Both sides are on guard and have been enemies for generations. It is extremely difficult to get from one side to the other! Risking their lives on the battlefield may be their only chance.

Everyone hid in the border town and waited patiently. A big battle might be their chance to return home! !

Gu Chengxin, Gu Chengan and Gu Chengjing looked towards the northern border every day. The distance was so close yet it seemed so far away across the sky. Their home, their long-missed mother and little sister were right across the way.

A few months later, the weather turned cooler and the soldiers in the border town became more and more active. Gu Chengxin clenched his fists and said, "It's time for the autumn harvest!"

The people from Jiangcheng didn’t understand yet, but the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army had excitement in their eyes.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Shangru was puzzled.

"Every autumn harvest is the time when nomadic peoples like the Hu Meng tribe are in a period of shortage. The grass on the grassland is about to wither, but our grain harvest is abundant!! Therefore, every year at this time they will definitely attack the northern border to rob resources. Even though the Zhenbei Army has been guarding the northern border, they have more defeats than victories, but they still do not change this habit."

Jiang Shangru understood that this meant that a war was about to break out and their chance was about to come.

"No wonder there have been so many soldiers active in the city recently, and other armies are heading this way."

"Get ready for action!" Gu Chengxin raised his hand and everyone dispersed.

They had not been in this border city for so long in vain. Many people from the Zhenbei Army had infiltrated Hu Meng's army under the pretext of joining the army and were lying in hiding.

The people from Jiangcheng were all strong and healthy to get to where they are today. Most of them also mixed in, only in this way can they join the battlefield legitimately. The language of the Hu Meng tribe is not much different from that of Daying, but the accent is a little different. Everyone learned it in a few months. The recruitment of soldiers is not too strict, so they mixed in.

A few days later, someone who had infiltrated the army got them some clothes and weapons. Gu Chengxin and the others were small, so the clothes they wore were altered to at least look more suitable.

Night! The war drums in Hu Meng's army were beating, trying to catch the Zhenbei Army off guard in the dark.

Yue Heng, the commander of the Zhenbei Army, was in command, wearing armor and ready at all times. He ran up the city wall with a big chicken drumstick in his hand.

“Son of a bitch, I knew you were going to do this!! I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!!” He took a big bite of the chicken leg, then shouted to the deputy general behind him, “One battalion, two battalions, three battalions, meet the enemy!!”

"Yes!!"

At this time of year every year, there would be several major battles between the Zhenbei Army and the Hu Meng tribe. However, this year the Zhenbei Army was weak, with the Zhenbei King dead, Gu Dinglian missing, and the Zhenbei Army suffering heavy losses. Therefore, there were particularly many wars this year, and the autumn grain defense battle came earlier.

But Yue Heng was a man of great skill and he had already discovered something was wrong when he was conducting drone surveillance on the border town.

He also strengthened the defense and ordered the Zhenbei Army to keep their clothes on even when sleeping and be ready for battle at any time.

The Zhenbei Army responded quickly, taking their positions and preparing for battle! !

The drums of war thundered, the flags fluttered! ! "The flag with the word 'Zhen' on it! It will stand firm! The heroic spirits of our soldiers from the Northern Frontier will never fade away! Kill!!"

Although the Zhenbei Army has been recruiting soldiers in the past few months, the number of people in the northern border is limited, and the previous losses are too heavy, so the first battle must be fought to boost morale! ! To boost the morale of the Zhenbei Army, it is also to give the opponent a warning! ! Let them know that the Zhenbei Army is still strong! !

The drums of Dingzhou were beating loudly, and the city of Dingbei was shaking! People were in panic! ! Although the Zhenbei Army had won a great victory and blocked the continuous attacks from the northern border, the autumn grain defense war every year was a big battle, and the Zhenbei Army's consumed troops were difficult to replenish.

Everyone in Dingbei City was worried and praying that the Zhenbei Army would win! !

"Please pray for the gods to protect our northern border and keep it stable. May our Northern Frontier Army win a great victory! Keep the jackals out of the city!"

"May the gods bless our soldiers to be invincible, kill everyone in sight, and drive away all the bad guys!!"

"Please pray to the gods to protect our Zhenbei Army soldiers and kill all the Hu people safely!!"

Shen Lianxin wandered in the courtyard, looking up at the stars in the sky! !

When people are helpless, they like to worship Buddha and ask for the protection of gods. Shen Lianxin is the same. She couldn't find her child, so she kept sending people to the Zhao family to ask for help, at least to get psychological comfort.

Over time, I became a doctor after being ill for a long time, and I seem to understand a little bit about astrology!

"Qiyue, look, are those the Greedy Wolf Star and the Broken Army Star that Patriarch Zhao mentioned? They are getting brighter and brighter, and getting closer and closer to the brightest star! Are Daxin, Xiaoan, and Xiaojing coming back?"

Qiyue looked hard, with eyes wide open and head tilted, puzzled but also a little excited, "Madam, is that the one you are talking about? It really seems to be!! It didn't seem so close a few days ago, but it's really getting closer!! It must be the young masters who are back!!"

Shen Lianxin listened to the noise outside and sighed, "The drums are so loud tonight! I'm afraid it's a big battle! I'm afraid we'll be busy tomorrow! Let's go back to sleep!"

"Okay! I'll help you!!" July became more and more well-behaved and sensible. She saw the hardships Shen Lianxin went through, and she became more and more respectful and distressed towards her lady.

Smoke is rising everywhere! ! The flames illuminated the sky above Dingzhou City. The battle must be very fierce. Madam, I'm afraid you will be busy tomorrow. You must have a good rest! !

After Shen Lianxin entered the room, Qiyue sealed the doors and windows, trying not to let any noise in and disturb the lady's rest. Because once the war started, Shen Lianxin probably didn't have much time to rest peacefully.

Shen Lianxin lay in bed, unable to fall asleep due to the biting cold. Ever since Gu Dingbei's death, she was most afraid of the night, because every night, the scene of Gu Dingbei's death would replay in her mind repeatedly, as well as the tragic deaths of the Zhenbei Army soldiers.

She didn't dare to close her eyes, but she had to force herself to do so. At least, she was still alive, and she couldn't let Gu Dingbei die in vain, and she couldn't let the land that Gu Dingbei and those soldiers swore to defend be invaded.

And her children, they must be trying to survive in some corner, moving towards home. Therefore, neither Beijiang nor Zhenbei Palace can fall!

Dingzhou!

The Zhenbei Army took the initiative to attack, forming a battle array and attacking in batches! !

Hu Meng's army was not to be outdone. This time, they were determined to take over Northern Xinjiang! They were accumulating strength for today's battle and completely capturing this place.

"I'm going to go out and meet them!" Zhang Meng raised his battle axe, unable to hold back any longer.

"General Zhang, please be patient!"

Zhang Meng is considered a veteran in the Zhenbei Army. He was once a general who followed Gu Dingbei. He has made countless military achievements and survived several near-death experiences. Now he has been promoted to the mighty general of the left wing of the Zhenbei Army! He is second only to one person in the army.
