Just as the Wolf-faced Prince was about to lead his subordinates to retreat from the battlefield, the figure in white stood on the mound, facing the wind filled with a strong scent of blood, quietly watching the chaotic scene ahead and raised a hand.

"Stop them!"

"Yes!"

With this order, the soldiers behind him, who had long been eager for a fierce fight, immediately became intent on killing. They roared as they charged down the mound, accompanied by a thunderous sound of hooves, directly plunging into the Western Turks’ ranks.

Although the Western Turkic soldiers were brave, they had already gone through a fierce battle. Even if it was nearly a crushing victory, their physical strength was greatly depleted.

At this moment, the sudden appearance of troops already disturbed their minds, coupled with these ferocious men charging in fiercely, leaving them helpless, even the invincible Heavy Cavalry were panic-stricken. They hurriedly followed the Wolf-faced Prince and rushed westward along a narrow path, hearing screams rising behind them.

It was the archers still dressed in dark blue clothes on the mound, who had previously ambushed them, and now once again drew bows and arrows, shooting toward the retreating Western Turkic soldiers.

Immediately, a rain of arrows fell.

Only the sound of wind could be heard, many screamed as they were shot and fell, and the following cavalry seized the opportunity to charge forward, with blades and swords flashing, cutting down many, adding another layer of bloody red to this already blood-soaked grassland.

On the other side, the troops that had been scattered by the Western Turkic cavalry’s charge, left powerless to counterattack, were even more frantic at this moment. Unclear about what was happening, they immediately retreated, leaving countless corpses and still screaming wounded behind, seemingly about to retreat through the mountain pass at the foot of the mountain from where they came.

At this moment, a cavalry suddenly dashed out from the woods, arriving beside the figure in white.

"He Xin!"

The person on horseback slowly turned his head to look, and beside him was a beautiful, even somewhat domineering woman.

This person was Yu Mingyue, who accompanied the army on this expedition.

And what she urgently called was precisely the Han King Yu Wenqian of the newly established Dasheng Dynasty.

They progressed northward from the western line, originally intending to bypass Zhiguan Pass, strike Taiyuan directly first, then hold the city to defend against the Western Turkic reinforcements dispatched from Jingxing Pass, and the troops entering Taihang from Zhiguan Pass.

However, that night, Yu Wenqian received a set of clothes.

Though unknown who sent it, it was a set he was very familiar with, once used by the Da Ye Dynasty, no longer utilized by the Dasheng Dynasty, a deep blue military uniform.

Under his command, the soldiers, including the troops led by Yu Wenye, wore uniforms of earth yellow. Because after Yu Wenquan ascended the throne, to resonate with the Earth virtue revered by the Dasheng Dynasty and to transform the faith of the soldiers, he had the military uniforms changed to earth yellow; however, due to the urgency, before his ascension, it was already decided to send troops to Taiyuan, thousands of uniforms couldn’t be altered in time, so they temporarily added a layer of yellow material to these uniforms.

But, the inner lining of their uniforms remained deep blue.

And this point reminded Yu Wenqian.

The set of unknown-source clothing conveyed that those entering Taihang from Zhiguan Pass weren’t the troops of Liang Shide, presumed to have captured Eastern Capital Luoyang, as his soldiers wore red, currently would still use this deep blue military uniform, those heading toward Taihang could only be one kind of people—

The remnants of the Da Ye Dynasty.

And Yu Wenqian suspected, likely, this troop was the split forces of the Wang Brothers, first colluding with the Western Turks to capture Taiyuan, while the other slowed its advance. Because Taiyuan was the Dragon Raising Land of Yu Wenquan, Dasheng Dynasty would definitely send forces to recapture it, and they, entering from Zhiguan Pass, could exactly strike from behind the forces dispatched by the Yuwen Family to attack Taiyuan.

This situation is almost a dead-end.

But, just—almost.

Yu Wenqian looked at the unknown-source deep blue military uniform, then turned back to the uniforms worn by the soldiers beside him and immediately devised a strategy.

He still ignored the troops from outside Zhiguan Pass but broke camp overnight, marching day and night for several days, finally arriving here before the Western Turkic reinforcements reached Shouyang County.
