C156 (1/2)
As for the Sixth Prince's side, Feng Lingxue naturally knew that he was a piece of mud that couldn't be supported by the wall, so she naturally saw him as a target. Thus, Zi Yuan had never had the idea of looking at the Sixth Prince as much as he did, and the battlefield had already become a kind of strategy.
If it weren't for the Sixth Prince's help and the fact that the political affairs of the capital were somewhat unstable, Dongping Country wouldn't dare to hold the Sixth Prince hostage, not because they valued him, but rather because he was supported by his ministers from the capital. Otherwise, how could Feng Lingxue have any other thoughts just based on his character, but what Feng Lingxue didn't know was that all of the ministers belonging to the empress dowager had been purged by the Violet Palace.
As for Lan Cang? After a few days of battle, Lan Cang had also come to realize that the East Peak Country was not willing to start a war with the Northern Yue and had instead decided to engage in a Feng Shui battle. In this way, they would be able to forcefully hold back Lan Cang with their lives, and as Helian Helian thought, Lan Cang did not receive Helian's summons.
”General Nangong, did you notice anything wrong?” However, this formation was only used for defense purposes. Over the past few days, the East Peak Country had always kept a respectful distance from the northern troops and horses, not daring to collide with them. This was also a matter that Lan Cang had always been unable to understand, and if it weren't for the troops of the East Peak Country present, he would have thought that this was just like Zi Yuan singing about the plan of an empty city.
”Marshal, I can see that too.” Could it be that these soldiers of the Empire of Dongping were kicked by donkeys? ” Earlier, the East Peak Army had always been using a roundabout strategy. They did not seek to win, but to stall him, and in this battle, if they were to fight on the other side of the western battlefield, perhaps Lan Cang would not think too much about it, because the enemy's forces were strong, so if they used such a tactic, it would indeed reduce the morale of his side. The East Peak Army had always thought that they would not dare to argue with the North, but instead used numbers to fill this hole.
At this moment, Dongping Kingdom's side was indeed as Lan Cang thought. The opposing party's leader, General Yun Fei, was no longer present. At this moment, all the generals frowned and did not dare to retreat.
”General Ma, when will this be the end? Our East Peak Army does not have that many troops from the North. If this goes on, I'm afraid that sooner or later, our country will fall!” Yun Meng said with worry in her eyes, and Yun Meng was actually Yun Fei's little brother.
”General Yun, I know about this but you're aware of the marshal's orders as well. The marshal is your brother, we can only obey his orders this time.” General Ma said anxiously.
”I know that this is my big brother's order, but right now, that Lan Cang has clearly seen something. Look at how we've formed a defensive formation, they haven't attacked. I'm afraid they've seen something.”
”We're just walking on a tightrope. Once Lan Cang discovers that we're retreating, we won't dare to delay them even if we want to.” At this moment, General Ma also hit his thigh and said with a slightly deep voice.
”Hmm, this won't do. I must find a way.” When Yun Meng heard this, she shook her head. Then, as if she had thought of something, she continued speaking.
”General Ma, how about this. The two of us will go and challenge that Blue Sky guy. If we work together, we will be able to make him suffer a little.”
”Hmm? This is a good plan, but I'm afraid that Lan Cang will not accept our invitation. ”
”Ah, General Ma, you are also anxious and confused. How can we be separated in a battle between two armies? When the time comes, I will stand in front of the main station while you fight for me.”
”Right, right, this is a good idea!” General Ma slapped his thigh and felt that this method was feasible.
As for Lan Cang, he continued to watch the battle and chat with General Nangong. The two of them felt that something was off about this matter.
”General Nan Gong, I have a plan. If we withdraw and the people from Dongping Kingdom came to challenge us, they would definitely send me out to meet them. After you help me, send someone to quietly take a look at the Dongping army camp and see just how many troops there are.”
”Marshal, this method is indeed good. Alright, that's it.” Nangong Xiong also felt that not only would this method of Lan Cang be able to dispel his doubts, it would also allow his opponent to receive a blow!
”Alright, then I'll immediately …”
”Report!” Marshal, General Yun Meng from the Dongping Army, has come to invite you to battle! ” As the spy came to report, he immediately interrupted Lan Cang's words.
