"Report——"

"The Huns marched first and camped on the grassland twenty miles away from the city of Daidang!"

"Report——"

"It is expected that the Huns army will arrive in Decadan City in three days at the latest!"

"Report——"

News from the front line keeps coming.

It's cloudless in Decadang City today, and it's a good time to spy on military aircraft.

Secret messages and information were flying like snowflakes, and people kept coming in and out to Guo Mengsheng's hands.

Although the northern border of the Wu Dynasty was not as hot as the capital, the daylight lasted for nearly nine hours, and most of the Feng Yijun soldiers who came to Decadang City were a little uncomfortable at first.

This reversal of day and night, the need to always pay attention to the border war situation, and the depressing atmosphere of being ready to retreat at any time, made the soldiers highly nervous and rarely relaxed, and some were even awakened before going to bed.

Even Guo Mengsheng, the head coach, is no exception to this state.

"What? So fast?"

Guo Mengsheng, dressed in military uniform, stood on the top of the city, his face looking very ugly.

"I only received a report from the scouts two days ago that the Huns' large army had just left Dragon City. I didn't expect that the advance troops had already arrived at the city! It seems that they have been prepared for it!"

"General, what should we do now?" the deputy general asked anxiously.

Guo Mengsheng frowned, looking at the long desert belonging to the Xiongnu in the distance, his heart heavy.

After a while, he shouted in a deep voice: "Has there been any news from His Royal Highness?"

Back then, he took advantage of the night and captured the city of Decadang with the thunderbolt cannons and thousands of elite soldiers allocated by the prince.

Now, after only holding on for three days, the Xiongnu marched first and forced them to the city. I wonder whether the prince's previous words can be realized.

Guo Mengsheng was not without plans. On the contrary, as the prefect of Feng Yi County in the Wu Dynasty, he was extremely good at fighting and a man of both wisdom and courage.

The lieutenant general shook his head. The prince had promised them that they would only need to hold on for a few days in Decadant City before they could retreat. Now that the Huns army was approaching, the DPRK had not sent any reinforcements. It was difficult for them not to think too much.

After all, this is a major crime of provoking war between the two countries. If it fails, no one can afford it.

Guo Mengsheng sighed. He knew that the situation in the court was unpredictable. Although the prince had power, he was still too young after all, and he would inevitably act impulsively.

If it were anyone else, he would never dare to take such a risk as him.

But now that the matter has come to this, there is no point in scolding or complaining. The only thing Guo Mengsheng hopes is that the prince will actually arrange for reinforcements to come as he said.

The deputy general's eyes turned red, he clenched his fists and said, "The last general is willing to die and beg for your life!"

Guo Mengsheng quickly waved his hand to stop him.

"Nonsense! Everything has not yet been settled, so why are you in a hurry to risk your life? Besides, who among the thousands of soldiers in Feng Yi County gathered here after listening to my words? If I, Guo, make a mistake, how can I let you

Are you going to be buried with me?"

"Can……"

The deputy general was still hesitant, but seeing Guo Mengsheng's firm attitude, he said no more and just lowered his head and remained silent.

Guo Mengsheng patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, I believe in the prince."

The lieutenant nodded.

"According to my general's order, the lights in the city will be brightly lit all night. Except for the soldiers guarding the city, everyone else can enjoy themselves. No matter what happens, don't disturb the morale of the army!"

The lieutenant general was puzzled. Shouldn't we take advantage of the fact that the Huns' large forces have not yet joined together to seize the opportunity to seize the advantageous terrain?

If you relax as much as you want, there is no guarantee that the soldiers will slack off. If they fail, the entire decaying city will fall in an instant!

"Master Guo, do you really not need to strengthen your guard? I heard that the Huns have also sent spies. If we do this, they will definitely know that our defenses are empty!" The deputy general couldn't help but remind him, "Why don't we march first while the Huns have nothing to do?

Use thunder cannons to catch them off guard first, and then it’s not too late to calmly attack them!"

Guo Mengsheng shook his head, "The prince only allowed us to seize the ruined city, and did not let us directly quarrel with the Xiongnu. So we have no reason to take the initiative. We can only do what the prince ordered and wait until the prince's reinforcements arrive.

What’s next?”

"I didn't ask you to continue drinking and have fun to really relax. All the wine was replaced by plain water, and you celebrated in shifts. Don't let the enemy find anything unusual. Now the Huns are marching here first to test our determination of the military dynasty this time."

The lieutenant general was very puzzled. Since it was a feint attack, why didn't he kill the enemy before they attacked? Instead, he had to wait until the enemy attacked before attacking?

"Determination? What determination?"

"The determination to fight to the end."

This is what Guo Mengsheng said based on his many years of experience in fighting.

The battle between the two armies is actually a contest between the national power of the two countries.

In addition to the bravery of the soldiers themselves, whether their daily training is appropriate, and whether their weapons are sharp enough, more depends on the generals and political skills, such as strategy and tactics...

Although the Xiongnu troops were powerful, the Xiongnu Chanyu absolutely did not want to take action against the Wu Dynasty at this juncture.

Otherwise, when the Wu Dynasty, the Chu State, and even other princes who had had friction with the Xiongnu all sent troops to attack, how could the Xiongnu be able to stop them?

Instead, they were left with their hands tied, which would probably lead to the destruction of the entire Xiongnu.

Therefore, they did not dare to start a war rashly at this time. They had to confirm whether the Wu Dynasty was really determined to destroy the Xiongnu.

Guo Mengsheng saw this clearly, so he did not begrudge his soldiers.

The more they relax in the decaying city, the greater the psychological pressure they bring to the Xiongnu.

Because after the key pass of Decadang City was occupied, it was difficult for the Huns army to get in touch with the remnants of the Huns inside the pass. Did the Wu Dynasty press the border with a large army this time, or did it only send a small force for a sneak attack?

If a large army invades the border, what does the Wu Dynasty want to do? If a small force is sent to attack in a sneak attack, what does the Wu Dynasty want to do?

These questions puzzled the Huns.

Guo Mengsheng believed that the scouts who came along must have brought these questions back to the Huns army.

Because there will definitely be differences in the Huns army.

A small oversight may lead to the complete defeat of the Xiongnu army, because the commander of the Xiongnu army did not want to lose the land they had fought so hard for.

If Guo Mengsheng's guess was correct, even if the march arrived first, they would not act rashly. They would not attack until at least three days later. Therefore, during these three days, Decadang City was the calmest.

If they want to survive, they must create a relaxing atmosphere.

Let the Huns hesitate, make them dare not move, and buy yourself time.

But if there is no news from the prince after three days, then they must consider another way.
