The long-awaited decisive battle broke out without warning.

The entire Moonlit Gate erupted in a flash.

The civilian-disguised soldiers were visibly panicked. Everyone was like headless flies, bumping into each other in a frenzy.

But inside the Moonlit Pass, besides those soldiers disguised as commoners, there were also about ten thousand regular troops left behind.

The significance of the regular army's presence in this section is to lead those conscripted laborers and make them appear as soldiers as much as possible.

As the garrison commander of Yueya Pass, Wu Ban Shan's abilities need no further explanation.

Upon learning that the Liao army had attacked, he immediately made a series of deployments.

The regular army began to find the civilians assigned to them. Although those civilians were panicked and afraid, they had been mentally prepared. Under the leadership of the regular army, they also began to gradually stabilize their position.

The destined “losing” battle is coming.

At this moment, Li Chen could already feel the trembling of the earth.

This is not an exaggeration.

Hundreds of thousands of cavalry charged at full speed, their momentum so great that one could feel the earth tremble from afar.

"I should go now."

Huang Ji Tian didn't hesitate and said to Li Chen, "I hope to see you at the rear as soon as possible."

"Go on, wait for my good news." Li Chen said calmly.

Huangji Tian bowed to Li Chen with a smile, then turned and left.

After the Heavenly Emperor's departure, Li Chen turned his gaze to the end of the heavens and earth. There, it seemed, a tide of cavalry was surging towards them.

This general Li Chen he also knows.

is Wu Bianshan's confidante, whose name is Wang Dazi.

"Your Highness!"

Wang Dazhao clasped his hands together and gave Li Chen a goofy smile. "General Wu ordered me to protect Your Highness."

"I can die, but your Highness must not be harmed in the slightest."

Li Chen, hearing this, felt the tension in his heart ease slightly. He said, "You, a general, shouldn't be out there killing enemies, why are you following me I'm perfectly fine here, what protection do I need"

Wang Dazhao shook his head seriously and said, "On the battlefield, swords have no eyes. We must definitely protect Your Lordship well."

Li Chen, upon hearing this, no longer declined and asked Wang Dazhao to stand beside him. He then inquired, "Have you found out anything about the enemy"

The scout who came back to report certainly wasn't the only one.

That was just someone who happened to be in Li Chen's location and was seen by him.

The other scouts would inevitably send their reports of enemy movements to Wu Ban Shan via different routes. Li Chen wanted to know more information, and he would have to go through Wu Ban Shan to do so.

Wang Dazhao replied: "We've learned quite a bit. The Liao army has indeed begun its attack, dividing their forces into three routes, attacking from the east gate, north gate, and west gate. Based on the information we have, their main assault appears to be at the east gate, as the enemy troops arriving from the Donggong are the fastest, estimated to number between 40,000 and 70,000. The exact number is still unclear."

The other two sides have a larger number, at least 100,000 or more, but they are slower.

"According to the projections, within half an hour at most, fighting will erupt at the East Gate first. Then, within the next half hour, the North Gate and West Gate will begin fighting. General Wu means that Your Highness would best be able to get to the City Lord's Mansion or the South Gate."

The south gate is backed by the Gan-Shaan region, which is the only direction of retreat and the only gate in Yuèyáguān facing the Qin state. Therefore, it is the safest place.. Therefore, if you encounter a wild boar, there is actually a certain degree of danger.Li Chen and Su Zhen's identities, even when going to the royal hunting grounds, would be impossible to move alon...
