The majestic and magnificent Altai Mountains stood proudly between heaven and earth like a giant. The rolling peaks outlined a majestic skyline, piercing straight into the clouds, with a breathtaking momentum. Under the gentle caress of sunlight, the snow on the mountaintop refracted a golden holy light, like brilliance shed by a god, illuminating the entire world. Spreading from the foot of the mountain was an endless grassland, like a boundless green carpet spread out by nature, stretching wantonly…-

In the twilight, a girl rode a horse in the valley, holding a whip, constantly driving her sheep towards the tents. She had a pair of black eyes shining like stars, a fair face as bright as a pearl, and jet-black hair draped behind her, beautiful as the Milky Way. She was the most beautiful girl in this Naiman tribe. Her name was Naren, meaning the sun. As she drove the flock, her gaze turned to the south from time to time, revealing a trace of worry and unease, hands placed on her chest as if…

East of the Altai Mountains, Northeast Pass. It was one of the passes in the Altai Mountains most suitable for a large army to cross, and also the place where Xiao Simo's main army attacked. At this time, it was already dark, and the moon was above the mountaintops. However, a disgusting and strong smell of blood pervaded the valley, like an invisible mist, lingering for a long time. On the ground, broken weapons were scattered messily, broken blades and residual spears crisscrossed, some deeply…

The Alai Ridge was one of the highest peaks in the southern Altai Mountains. Towering into the clouds, with rugged rocks, it was like a giant arm extended from the earth, piercing straight into the sky. On the surface of the mountain, traces of time were clearly visible. Ravines were like wrinkles on a giant's face, recording the long changes of time. And just between two peaks, a deep valley was hidden within, like a profound wound torn open by time on the earth. The mountain walls on both…

For the next few days, the Alltai Mountains battlefield seemed to fall into calm. The Northern Border Army didn't continue attacking, and the Naimans didn't sneak attack. Both sides were silently adjusting their strength, preparing for the next big battle. During these few days, Li Xiao selected a total of two thousand soldiers from various divisions. All were honest and simple herdsmen or slaves. Such people didn't have so many complicated thoughts, were obedient and easy to manage, and…

The ancient road of the Alai Ridge truly existed. In later generations, when Li Xiao was stationed in the Northern Border, he went there many times and was very familiar with the local terrain. Although eight hundred years had passed, Li Xiao believed that the landform of the Alai Ridge shouldn't have changed too much. It could definitely allow large-scale cavalry units to pass. Because there was a brief record in historical materials that Temujin once fought a war with the Merkits at the Alai…

Although Li Xiao was a bit immune to Xiao Simo's big promises, there was a saying that goes, wealth and honor are sought amidst danger. If he didn't proactively fight for it, he would still be a Thousand Household in three or five years. When the Mongols attacked, what would Li Xiao use to resist? So, he decided to take a risk. If it succeeded, maybe this Thousand Household position could be promoted. Moreover, if this war dragged on without end, the impact on Jin Prefecture would be…

Captain Léo’s order was quickly executed. The Dragoons neatly dismounted, led their beloved horses deep into the woods, and tied them to tree trunks with their reins. These well-trained warhorses were quiet. Although they heard bursts of gunfire, they only occasionally snorted, seemingly sensing the tense atmosphere before a battle. The soldiers quickly spread out along the edge of the woods with their carbines. They used thick tree trunks and naturally formed ditches to rapidly construct a…-

“What is it, Captain?” Léo’s Aide-de-Camp, a young Lieutenant, rode closer. “Nothing.” Léo shook his head, forcing himself to refocus on the mission ahead. According to the orders of Colonel Molière, Commander of the 4th Cuirassier Regiment, the maneuver along the Sambre River from the southeast of the city was a classic cavalry tactic, using mobility to bypass the enemy’s front and attack or reconnoiter from a weak flank/rear. But for some reason, Léo felt this decision was…
