Translator: 549690339           —

However, there were no accurate count of the medicines at the He family, and from Madame Yun’s words, it seemed that the army urgently needed medical supplies.

Wei Ruo decided to talk to Xie Ying early the next morning, the medicinal supplies they had previously purchased should now be put to use.

###

TWO days had already passed, and the army camp was still not able to replenish its medical supplies. These two days they had barely managed to survive with some medical supplies forcibly collected from pharmacies. However, if they could not restock medical supplies by tomorrow, they would run out of resources.

If the injured cannot be treated, not only will the lives of the wounded soldiers not be guaranteed, but it would greatly affect the morale of the entire army. If this battle could not be ended in a short time, it would be extremely disadvantageous for them.

Wei Mingting was very worried, so he called all his subordinates to his tent to discuss the next plan.

Gentlemen, I believe you all know our current situation well. The Japanese Pirates came prepared for this counterattack. We have already consumed most of our arrows and crossbows, and yet we have not been able to repel them. This situation is very disadvantageous for us. I would like to know what you all think?”

Wei Mingting sought the opinions of Deputy General Qian and other generals and deputy generals.

Everyone remained silent, creating a stifling atmosphere in the tent.

Xu Zhengyong, standing in the third row, contemplated for a long while before he firmly stood forward.

“General, I believe that we cannot sit still and await death. We should switch from defense to offense!”

“Deputy General Xu, do you have any specific battle plans?” Wei Mingting asked.

“I am willing to personally lead a small troop, set out from the south of the city, cross over Wangyue Mountain in the southeast, and launch a surprise attack on the enemy’s flank!”

Hearing this, everyone looked at him in surprise.

This was a risky move. If it went well, all would be well. But if it didn’t, it would be a one-way trip for Xu Zhengyong.

In fact, Wei Mingting had also considered this method, but it was too risky and required someone to stand out as the vanguard of this surprise attack.

What he did not expect was that Xu Zhengyong not only thought about it, but was also willing to personally lead the team, risking himself.

Wei Mingting said to Xu Zhengyong, “Wangyue Mountain is hazardous. It is very dangerous to cross over the mountain, especially in this cold weather Moreover, if you are discovered by the enemy, you will be in an isolated situation, and the situation will be extremely dangerous.”

Xu Zhengyong responded, “General, we’re presently without supplies of medical equipment and additional reinforcements, while the Japanese Pirates are more fierce than ever. All these circumstances are disadvantageous to us’ If we continue to defend like this, as the number of injured continues to increase, our morale will become increasingly weak, and our will to fight will gradually dissipate. By the time we want to counterattack, it will be too late! If I can create a chance of survival for everyone, I am willing to take the risk with my soldiers!”

Xu Zhengyong was resolute, ready to face death.

Hearing this, the whole tent fell silent. They all knew that what Xu Zhengyong said was true, if they continued to defend, their situation would indeed get worse!

Of course, Wei Mingting knew Xu Zhengyong was right. After a long thought, he agreed to Xu Zhengyong’s proposal: “Deputy General Xu, I agree to your plan of leading your troops to launch a surprise attack on the enemy from the south of the city. I would please ask all of you to protect yourselves. I hope to see all of you return safely!”

“I will not fail my mission!”

Xu Zhengyong knew the risks he was taking, but he was still determined.

Wei Mingting was deeply moved, and other soldiers were also inspired by Xu Zhengyong’s bravery, reigniting their fighting spirit.
