Chapter 421 - An Ingenious Military (2/2)
The four-nation coalition forces were at their weakest as they were attacked forcing them to retreat almost instinctively Even the prince, that had made an oration, without honour left his men behind and rode his horse as far as the wind took him
After dawn, the battle was over and those that hadn’t fled, surrendered to the Dragon King and just started to realise that they had been defeated by only 500led more soldiers to take over the barracks
Speed was most important as Gu Shenwei didn’t think this was a victory With the four countries still on the side of Fort Jin Peng, there wasn’t a better tie their position The odds would be very hty ar entered Xiaoyao Lake
In the frenzied barracks of the coalition forces, Gu Shenwei issued several orders on end
Lin Xiaoshan then led the soldiers, still 500 strong, , Sha and Hui each reacted, and “invited” all kings toas they acted quickly At this moment, the main armies of all the countries had joined the coalition forces but had left provisional armies in their home territories If Lin Xiaoshan followed the runners closely, he could not only break into the capital easily but also take advantage of the panic they created to gain an overwhel received the second order: the city was under siege The Pri boats on the north shore of Xiaoyao Lake while bringing the army from the south shore
With the situation in Xiaoyao Lake hanging by a thread, this task required speed given how great the result the army could achieve, because they had to rely on robustness, if they wanted to keep the land and people in their hands
Zhong Heng had already formulated a sche, “Fort Jin Peng can’t know so soon of news that the Dragon King is still alive or else its aruan Fa wouldn’t think that DuGuXian would surrender, so his purpose isn’t to strengthen the coalition”
Although Zhong Heng did not co worried about Gu Shenwei himself couldn’t lead his troops to conquer the three countries, west of Stone kingdo anxiously when they returned to the city He judged the coht saying, “This is a great deal of fraud The Supree Hadn’t the Dragon King arrived in tidoh and even though the Supreenda hidden”
Fang Wenshi+ was a little wordy by nature, so it took some time for hi is trying to annex Xiaoyao Lake”
So sure was he of his hypothesis that he paced back and forth excitedly to de keeps protesting the proposal of abdication despite all four kings adhering A greater ambition is self-evident in this, he wants tois backed by North Court, it always depends on the North Court’s ar e However small Xianyao Lake may seeard it as a solid rear…”
Gu Shenwei understood already what he reed wholly but the key issue was the details of the arrance that was isolated froe land in the woods It was neither a Wushan tribe that had been fighting for years, nor a sht between twowas so they wouldn’t believe any exaggerated legends or be intimidated by a few people
This crucial battle would be the first since the arions where the a fir the foundation for challenging Fort Jin Peng however defeat would leave therance As a result, it would be more difficult to rush out of Wushan than ascend to heaven
Gu Shenwei’s last order thus was given to hith
Before he left, Gu Shenwei took the tiu Xian was a general in Fort Jin Peng and more familiar with the situation
In addition to the path of Wushan, Xiaoyao Lake had two access routes to it, one that came from the east and another from the hich all crossed the desert The eastern route was easier to walk by, so Gu Shenwei rolled the dice and anticipated it would be the route through which the ar would attack
DuGuXian illing to help, but didn’t want to make unfounded speculation and said, “Typically, a com very sirass in the east enough to supply tens of thousands of soldiers trekking a short path across the desert The western passage on the other hand has little water and can accommodate mere hundreds of people If the are ah cost”
Gu Shenwei beca this
After betraying Fort Jin Peng, Dugu Xian was driven , When he knew that the Dragon he warned after knowing the Dragon King was going to spy on the eneenerals are and froht of more help then”
Gu Shenwei nodded
He led the Dutch woe of Shuangquan in less than ten days
Along the way, they didn’t see any signs of the are also thrived by receiving passing businesse’s tavern, news that an ar around that it was as big as 10,000 to 200,000 strong Finally, an oldbuilt in the east of the village where each stake inside represents a tent multiplied five times over, the number is probably the size of the army I place a bet that it’s no more than thirty five thousand soldiers”
Thirty thousand soldiers froainst ten thousand of the Great Snow Mountain Gu Shenwei knew in his heart that hisout victorious was a chance slie
