297 Surrounded (1/2)

”If you want to show off, you don't have to be here,” Yan said to Ming Hui with an annoyed tone.

Ming Hui ignored the grumbling Yan. Who told him to peek at them when he was talking with Fan Lanying? He turned to Soujin who was busy with the map in front of him, ”Have you think about the new strategy?”

”You don't have to worry. I will get everything ready,” Soujin answered calmly.

Yan and Ming Hui nodded, they would just leave the matter to Soujin. For the next few days, the battles in the border continued without any winner. The battle was no longer to conquer the city as Soujin forced the Ming Kingdom to have the battle in the plain.

On the back, Strategist Wu watched the condition of the battlefield calmly. Although Soujin was a renowned young general, he didn't feel any fear. He was once a famous strategist in his era, but that era has long passed.

”Rei, you passed the order.”

”Yes Master,” Rei smiled as he quickly disappeared from his spot.

Strategist Wu looked towards the battle in front of him. So, the famous young general of Ming Kingdom was just like this? It seemed your decision to change your allegiance was terribly wrong. He would show the young general just how much their difference was.

Soujin continued to fight on the frontline, his brow creased as he watched the new formation Ming Kingdom deployed. It seemed that Strategist Wu could read his movement better than he thought. It didn't matter, though; he just needed to stall the time as long as possible.

”Lou, how is the condition of the formation?”

”Young Master, the formation is broken on the left,” Lou replied respectfully.

Soujin shifted his gaze to the left. The situation was not that bad, but Strategist Wu had made a loophole out of the formation he deployed.

”Let's move again,” lifting his sword, Soujin made his way towards the enemy line.

Strategist Wu has to admit that the martial art of Soujin was truly one of the kinds. Seeing how the advance of the young man couldn't be stopped, it reminded him of the word monster. Really, those kinds of monster appeared in the same kingdom, but the emperor never deployed them well.

Three of them appeared at nearly the same time, but one of them raised his sword back to the emperor. The other one died in an accident. And the last one was uncontrollable, which made him died on the way.

Truly unfortunate, even if Ming Kingdom survived this ordeal, it was uncertain how the future would be. Strategist Wu looked at the man before him. If only the emperor was not that stuck-up on wanting the complete control and do things moderately, this might never happen.

”Stop the general advance,” Strategist Wu ordered. Spilled milk couldn't be retrieved back, there was no use lamenting about this anymore. It was better to continue the advance and finished the matter on hand first.

Yan and Ming Hui didn't participate in the fight. The two of them waited on the wall and watched the progress of the battle.

”Yan, the situation didn't look so good,” Ming Hui said as the battle continued.
