"By the Chile Plain, below the Yin Mountain." "The sky is like a yurt, covering the four fields." "The sky is vast and gray, the wilderness is boundless; wind blows, grass bends, and cattle and sheep appear." ... The wind of the Northern Border was cold and desolate, as if it could cut open the curtain of time, revealing that magnificent and boundless picture. Before dawn, Li Xiao rode his horse on the vast Altai Mountains, his heart full of pride, singing this Song of Chile…-

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…

February 15th. It was a day with a clear sky and beautiful spring sunshine. If it had been in Qingzhou Province, the weather at this time would still be a bit chilly, but here, the climate was still warm and pleasant. On the third day after the Huben Army and the Shenji Army rendezvoused, the two, having recovered from the fatigue of prolonged marching, ordered a general assault on Guangzhou City. At this time, with the continuous arrival of reinforcements, the number of soldiers outside Guangzhou…-

Nanchang. Luo Xin took out his pocket watch from his bosom, checked the time, then ordered his soldiers to blow the charge bugle. For him, the journey so far had not presented many challenges. The Battle of Lin'an City did gain the merchants' council a little time to stabilize in the south, but only a little. In such a vast region, the merchants' council's control was extremely weak. Many times, it was simply that a powerful family in a certain city defected to the merchants' council, rallied…

In this world, when you are in dire straits and need help, the number of people willing to lend a hand is ultimately a very small minority. On the contrary, there are more people who will step on you a couple of times when you are suffering misfortune. It is unknown who leaked the news that Jinda Bank was currently not operating smoothly, but it was highly likely someone from another bank. Banks, too, are for-profit entities. If Mr. Jobav's Jinda Bank was indeed facing financial difficulties,…-

Mr. Jobav doesn't just have a big house; his bank is also a big house, and it even has a dedicated vault, which Lance actually quite wants. "You... cough, speaking of Jobav, what happened to him?" Lance said casually, "He's probably going bankrupt. He's selling his previous things to the banks, but the banks won't give him any inflated prices." "So perhaps we have a chance to get some things from him." Morris was a bit amazed and emotional when he heard this news. "For people who have lived…
