On this day, Ye Hui suddenly received a piece of news that made him very excited.
"... Everything is safe in Xilu City. General Ye and General Wei Long are excellent generals. Not only are they unharmed, they even have the upper hand. Two hours ago, the Great Gale Army mobilized 120,000 soldiers and headed for Xilu City. "A soldier reported.
"Good... Oh? Mobilized 120,000 soldiers? Are they going to help attack Xilu City? "Ye Hui suddenly stood up and frowned.
"General, it should be so!" The soldier replied.
Ye Hui got up and paced back and forth impatiently. Then he said loudly, "I heard that the girl of the Zhuge Family has been letting her soldiers go shopping in the city these days. They are buying expensive things. Is this true?"
"It is true. The whole city already knows about this. "The soldier quickly replied. He was already used to the way he addressed Zhuge Xiaoyu.
"Humph! In the end, she is just a silly girl. I don't know what General Ye is thinking. Call her over immediately. Tell her I have something important to discuss with her. "
When Zhuge Xiaoyu arrived, Ye Hui immediately greeted her with a smile. He laughed and said, "General Pingyun, the Great Gale Army has been frightened by us a few days ago and has temporarily suspended their attack. Now they have dispatched 120,000 soldiers to Xilu City. This is a great opportunity for us. I hope General Pingyun can lend me 30,000 soldiers to kill the Great Gale Army that has not left. Then we can send troops to help Xilu City. "
"I already know about this... General Ye, don't be impatient. There are too many strange things about the Great Gale Army. It is not too late to act after finding out..." Zhuge Xiaoyu shook her head. When Ye Hui called her over, she had already guessed what he wanted to do.
"There is no need. It has been confirmed many times. This matter is absolutely true. General Ye is a god. It is normal for the Great Gale Army to send reinforcements. Our spies have seen them do it!" Ye Hui waved his hand.
"The Great Gale Army is not a fool. How could he leave such a big gap? No! "
Ye Hui's expression changed slightly, becoming somewhat unfriendly. "General Pingyun, are you saying that I'm a fool?"
Zhuge Xiaoyu's eyebrows sank, and her eyes became slightly cold: "General Ye misunderstood, I didn't mean that."
Ye Hui's expression changed again. He calmed himself down and said, "It's fine even if General Pingyun thinks so, but please lend me thirty thousand troops … I'm willing to make a military pledge. If I lose, I'm willing to offer my head!"
"No!" Zhuge Xiaoyu flatly refused …
"Hmph!" Ye Hui's temper was irascible to begin with. In addition to the fact that Zhuge Xiaoyu was a woman who wasn't even half his age, yet she was able to suppress him, he had long been very dissatisfied in his heart. At this moment, he snorted heavily, "Are you afraid that I'll steal your credit?"
Zhuge Xiaoyu, "..." Suppressing her anger, she tried her best to maintain a gentle tone as she said, "There are indeed many unusual things about the mobilization of the Great Gale Army this time. We can't advance rashly. Why don't we make a decision three days later?"
"Bullshit! This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once missed, there would be no next time. Speed is the most important thing in war. Being timid is a taboo in war. What do you, a silly little girl, know! "
Ye Hui's words were already harsh to the point of not giving him any face. Zhuge Xiaoyu's beautiful eyes narrowed. She picked up a token and a golden seal from her sleeve. On the token were four golden words: "As if I were here in person", and the golden seal was engraved with two words: "Pingyun". Staring at Ye Hui's stiff face, she said word by word, "Considering that you're also a descendant of the Yeh family, I'll tolerate you in all aspects. I hope you won't take advantage of your seniority. If you dare to act rashly, I'll behead you!"
Zhuge Xiaoyu turned around and walked away, leaving Ye Hui standing there with a flickering expression on his face. She had been tolerating Ye Hui because he was a member of the Yeh family, and because he was a senior. But she was not a weak person by nature, and with her temper, she had never been a kind person who would swallow insults and not take revenge … Although she was trying her best to dissuade him, she knew that Ye Hui would certainly not listen to her … Since she couldn't stop him, then let him be. As for herself, she also needed to make some preparations.
What she wanted most was to be able to freely command her own army to decide the outcome of a war without anyone interfering, including her father. She was a person who was used to being free and willful. She didn't allow others to control her and disobey her. She was usually like this, even on the battlefield, she was still like this. This was her nature that she couldn't change. No matter when, she was still the stubborn girl who shouted, "One day, I'll make you beg to marry me".
That golden plate was impressively the "Heavenly Dragon Token". Once this token appeared, it was as if the emperor had come in person. She could behead all the civil and military officials first and report later. At the same time, no matter how big a mistake she made, except for the emperor, no one had the right to take her life …
"General." The deputy general behind Ye Hui, who had not spoken, stepped forward and asked tentatively.
"How can I miss such a good opportunity? When I return in triumph, I'd like to see if this silly little girl really dares to do anything to me. Let's go! "
The city gate of Yun Hua City opened wide. Ye Hui took the lead and led his 14,000 cavalry and infantrymen into the city. Their speed was extremely fast. It was obvious that he wanted to catch the opponent off guard. Without Zhuge Xiaoyu's order, he couldn't touch any of her soldiers. Zhuge Xiaoyu stood on the city gate tower and watched him go away. Then, she slowly walked back. Not long after, her deputy general appeared in front of her and listened to her orders. Everyone obeyed and left …
The Gale Army's camp stretched for thousands of meters, but it seemed relatively empty. The original army of more than 100,000 was now less than 20,000. But the strange thing was that when the soldiers and generals left, the military camp stayed in the distance obediently.
A cannon sounded in the distance, and the sound of horses' hooves could be heard. The quiet Gale Army was suddenly thrown into chaos. One after another, they mounted their horses with swords and spears in their hands, got into formation, and rushed forward. The Yun Hua City army came aggressively. As soon as the two sides collided, the defense line of the Gale Army was forcibly torn apart. It was even more chaotic. Ye Hui held a long saber in his hand and waved it left and right as he roared, splashing a lot of blood.
Whoosh!
Less than a minute after the war started, a sudden earth-shattering battle cry came from the south. An overwhelming number of troops suddenly rushed from all directions from the south, completely blocking the retreat of the Yun Hua City army. The flags were embroidered with the word "Feng" …
"Oh no!" Ye Hui's heart suddenly skipped a beat. The Gale Army had mobilized their troops to the north, but now they rushed out from the south … It was obvious that they had first gone to the north, then circled to the south, waiting for them to take the bait. Attacking the city would cause great damage to their own troops, so the Gale Army temporarily stopped attacking the city. Instead, they used a deceptive tactic to trap Ye Hui, who was like a fish in the net.
The morale of the Yun Hua City army was immediately disrupted. They looked forward and backward, but under the pressure of the Gale Army, they retreated step by step. Gradually, the morale of the army began to collapse. As soon as the morale of the army collapsed, the troops were also defeated. In the chaotic battle, they were killed in disorder. Ye Hui's eyes were bloodshot, and he rushed left and right. The bodies around him fell one by one and turned into corpses. Blood stained the ground …
Time passed in the bloodbath. It was as easy as flipping one's hand to catch a turtle in a jar. The Yun Hua City army, who had already become a turtle in a jar, could no longer fight back. Ye Hui, who knew that he had fallen into a trap, was filled with anger and hatred. His eyes were bloodshot, but he was surrounded by enemies, and he could no longer retreat. At a glance, he could not even see the soldiers around him.
He let out a long sigh and waved his long saber, cutting off the lives of the enemies around him. He was surrounded, and he knew that there was no hope of breaking out of the encirclement today. Even if he died, he wanted to drag a few more people down with him. Although he was only a branch of the Yeh family, he had always been proud of his family name. Even if he died, he could not bring shame to the Yeh family!
Above Yun Hua City, Zhuge Xiaoyu frowned as she looked at the chaotic battle in the distance. She was indifferent.
"General Pingyun!" The two generals of Yun Hua City who had been begging Zhuge Xiaoyu knelt behind her. "Please send troops to save General Ye Hui … He disobeyed the general's order and deserves to die, but those ten thousand soldiers did not do anything wrong. Even if it's for the sake of these soldiers who are loyal to Tenryū Province, please send troops to support them immediately, or else … Otherwise, General Ye Hui and his army will be completely annihilated …"
Dust was flying in the extreme corners of their eyes. When four huge troops surrounded them from the south, they knew that Ye Hui had fallen into a trap. This operation was equivalent to walking into a trap. They tried to persuade Zhuge Xiaoyu to send troops to support them, but Zhuge Xiaoyu just looked into the distance quietly and did not say a word. She let them speak until they cried bitterly and knelt.
The Shocking Thunder and Shocking Fire quickly walked over and whispered into Zhuge Xiaoyu's ear, "General, there are messages from everywhere. Everything is ready."
"Good." Zhuge Xiaoyu nodded. Her eyes were still fixed on the battle in the west, and she said calmly, "This is the Black Armor Formation that has been greatly modified. It can turn offense into defense when it's under attack, and it can surround the enemy when they're unprepared. Hmph, they've already planned this. Obviously, they're not satisfied with just annihilating Ye Hui's army, so they're waiting for us to go and support them. However, playing with formations in front of me is just courting death! "
Just now, Zhuge Xiaoyu had a clear understanding of Dafeng Country's formation. Formations were powerful weapons on the battlefield. If they were used well, they could produce miraculous effects. They could win by surprise, defeat many with a small number, and minimize losses. However, Zhuge Xiaoyu seemed to be a genius who was born to set up formations. In the past three years, she had spent the most time studying military formations, and her ability to identify formations had also reached an incredible level. Basically, if she was given enough time, she could sniff out all the secrets of a formation and quickly come up with a way to deal with it.
Formations were also a double-edged sword. If they were used well, they could become a sharp weapon. If a formation was used to break a formation, it would instead become a burden.
"Give the order, the left army will attack from the southeast, then attack from the northwest, and then retreat from the east. The right army will attack from the northeast, attack from the southwest, then retreat from the southwest, and retreat from the east. Go now!"
"Yes!" The Shocking Thunder and Shocking Fire quickly received the order and left. With a few short orders from Zhuge Xiaoyu, the veins of Dafeng Country's formation were all cut off, turning the formation into a dead formation. However, it was obvious that breaking the formation was not the same as breaking the enemy's formation. Dafeng Country had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and their morale was high. They could not fight head-on at this time. The final mission of the left and right army that she had secretly sent out was to retreat from the east back to the city.
However, she already had a card up her sleeve as to what her real plan was.
