This is not unrelated to the emergence of a new adjutant in the vanguard army.
Relying on a long sword, leading over a thousand men,
Each time, they were able to find the best opportunity and achieve the most dazzling results.
Uesugi Torata once mobilized several thousand troops specifically to deal with this person.
Although he had the numerical advantage
However, after several struggles, it inexplicably fell into defeat.
He has always prided himself on his ability to command troops.
But now, in the very place he excels at, he has lost to a completely unfamiliar young player.
The other person is clearly younger than him.
Their experience in military deployment and troop arrangement was so exaggerated!
With such a monstrous talent appearing in Nanqing, is it truly Heaven's will to destroy Beiqi?
But he would not admit defeat and had already chosen a place to launch the final battle.
Once victorious, we will surely be able to force Nanqing to retreat.
Even if he loses, he can retreat to Nanjing.
Nanjing, a magnificent city rarely seen in the world, was once the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
If it weren't for its proximity to Nanqing, the Northern Qi royal family probably wouldn't have moved their capital to Shangjing so easily.
With this city as its backing, Uesugi Torata was confident enough to stop the Qing army here.
In one of the Qing army's camps,
Bai Qi wiped the long sword in his hand, his face resolute and his aura powerful.
After a series of major battles,
He has already reached the ninth rank.
Of course, on the surface he still displayed the strength of an eighth-rank expert.
After all, no one in this world can advance from the seventh rank to the ninth rank in just over ten days.
And to advance from the seventh rank to the eighth rank
To outsiders, it will appear more normal.
Moreover, because of his outstanding military achievements...
He has now been promoted to Lieutenant General and can command 5,000 troops.
In fact, it won't be long before...
He is confident of being promoted to a general commanding ten thousand men!
This is inseparable from the efficient military merit promotion system of the Qing Kingdom.
The military was the sector that Emperor Qing valued most.
A well-developed system of military merit-based promotion is also the foundation of the Qing Kingdom's formidable military strength.
As long as military merits are achieved, promotion will be immediate and without delay.
Moreover, there were dedicated personnel to tally military merits.
Even the leading general could not possibly hide this from anyone!
Therefore, Emperor Qing could tolerate corruption in the imperial court.
But no dark side is allowed in the military.
After all, the military is the true foundation of the Qing Kingdom.
This was also the key to his later unification of the world!
Although Bai Qi rose through the ranks quickly and won battle after battle, he did not underestimate Northern Qi.
Based on the recent movements of the Northern Qi army,
He already had a vague feeling about it.
The Northern Qi general, Uesugi Hu, was already planning a counterattack.
The Qing army has been winning more and more easily lately.
The military has fallen into a kind of fanatical atmosphere of vying for merit.
Especially with his example before us,
No one wants to be the next Bai Qi.
In this situation, it's easy to lose your temper when facing a battle.
Therefore, we need to be even more cautious right now!
But Bai Qi was not the commander of the Qing Kingdom.
He was merely a junior officer commanding 8521 men.
Among the hundreds of thousands of Qing Kingdom soldiers, they were not even qualified to enter the main camp for discussions.
He cannot reverse the current atmosphere in the military.
Therefore, he can only consider this now.
How to lead a limited number of subordinates to achieve more victories.
He put down his longsword, unfolded a detailed map, and fell into thought.
This map was provided by the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven).
The reason he performed so brilliantly on the battlefield was...
In fact, it also relies on the support of the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven).
Countless crucial pieces of intelligence were continuously delivered to him through the Luo Wang network.
Know yourself and know your enemy.
Once a major war breaks out, the role of intelligence must not be underestimated!
After a long while, he fixed his gaze on Mount Li.
Beyond this place lies Nanjing, a place the Qing army must pass through.
Unable to defeat the Southern Qing head-on, the Northern Qi had no choice but to resort to an ambush.
The hilly and densely forested Lishan Mountain is the perfect place for an ambush!
If Uesugi Tora wants to retaliate, Lishan is his only option.
Given the current momentum of the Qing army,
Even if they considered the possibility that Uesugi Torata might have set up an ambush at Mount Li, they probably wouldn't have taken it seriously.
Many people even think that Uesugi Tora is afraid of being beaten.
They wouldn't dare set up an ambush here.
But it's all for the best; only the Qing army suffered.
He fought his way out to save the Qing army from disaster, and that's how he earned even greater merit!
According to the orders he received from Li Chengqian,
Defeating the Northern Qi was merely a means for him to rise to power.
His ultimate goal was to replace General Qin Ye.
He commanded hundreds of thousands of troops in the Qing Kingdom.
This is the true foundation of a great undertaking!
Just as Bai Qi had predicted, in the central army camp of the Qing Kingdom,
One by one, the generals clamored for battle, their faces beaming with excitement.
His words even hinted at wanting to conquer the entire Northern Qi.
It should be noted that, based on the military merit system of the Qing Kingdom,
Such merit is enough to warrant being granted the title of king even if one is not of the same surname!
Even Qin Ye was somewhat tempted.
Of course, he knew very well that it was impossible to defeat Northern Qi in this battle.
As the commander-in-chief of an army, following the current marching route of the main force,
He naturally considered the possibility that Uesugi Tora had set up an ambush at Mount Li.
However, he felt that this possibility was not high.
Now the Northern Qi army is suffering repeated defeats, and its morale has plummeted.
The Northern Qi court even sent envoys to the capital to seek peace.
At this crucial point,
He did not believe that the Northern Qi had the ability and courage to ambush them at Mount Li.
Most importantly, he believed that even if the Qing army was ambushed,
He also had the ability to guide the army to break through the encirclement and then severely damage the Northern Qi army.
He even somewhat hoped that Uesugi Tora would set up an ambush at Mount Li.
Otherwise, if Uesugi Tora really retreats to Nankyo City, it could be quite troublesome.
Even if they manage to capture it, the Qing army will have to pay a huge price.
But if the last resistance of the Northern Qi is crushed at Mount Li,
Taking Nanjing City would then be a piece of cake.
And he knew very well that
