Chapter 76 The surprise attack was successful, Chu Shuiyun was shocked
The raging fire swept through the entire hill, and all the granaries on the mountain were destroyed.
Before the Chu army could react, they were killed by Dierya's elite cavalry, leaving no trace of their armor behind!
After a while, the victory was decided, and the Vietnamese army won a complete victory!
Looking at the endless fire, Diriyah let out a long sigh, "Hey, how great would it be if we could transport this food back?"
She really wanted to transport the food back. After all, the country of Yue was not only short of people, but also short of food!
But they had no carriages and could not move them, so they could only burn them all, leaving no grain for the Chu army!
After clearing the battlefield, Diriyah returned to Lindi City with the cavalry.
Lindi City, below the city.
The Chu army, led by Chu Shuiyun, is attacking the city frantically, and the fighting is now in full swing!
Suddenly, a messenger hurried over, looking horrified, "General, our granaries have been burned down by the enemy, and the morale of the army is in chaos!"
boom!
Chu Shuiyun's brain instantly went blank!
After a while, she recovered and looked up at the sky. It was a clear sky, white clouds, and the invisible sun. It was broad daylight now!
The granary was burned down in broad daylight! Unbelievable!
She looked questioning and looked back in the direction of the granary. There was indeed thick smoke.
She gritted her teeth, her tone was cold, and her voice was even colder, "Can you lose the granary in broad daylight? A bunch of trash!"
"The enemy is too cunning and makes a surprise attack in the afternoon when they are most likely to get sleepy..." the messenger patiently explained.
Chu Shuiyun's eyes flashed, and when she thought about it carefully, she had indeed squinted for a while, otherwise she probably wouldn't have the energy to direct the attack now.
Thinking of this, she felt chills in her heart. It was the first time she felt the power of a surprise attack on the granary in the afternoon! It was also the first time she felt such strong fear!
According to her years of experience, once the granary is burned, it means failure!
She may not be able to keep her reputation as a victorious general!
She looked here and there, and found that the eyes of her own soldiers were wavering, and the hand holding the knife was not as tight as before, and the military morale was lost!
She took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, "It seems that there is an expert in the enemy camp!"
After saying that, she quickly remembered someone - He Fang!
The last time she was defeated by someone, she couldn't sleep all night.
She always felt that He Fang's strength was similar to hers, or even stronger than hers!
Moreover, she also felt that He Fang was not a military general with well-developed limbs and a simple mind. On the contrary, He Fang was a wise general with a developed mind! This surprise attack was probably thought up by He Fang!
Thinking of this, her pupils were full of thoughts!
She took one last look at the battlefield. Her soldiers' eyes were sluggish, their spirits were low, and they had no desire to fight at all.
She sighed deeply and ordered the troops to retreat.
After walking away, she looked back at Lindi City, but what she saw was not Lindi City, but somewhere else!
"Where! I will definitely come back!"
After finishing speaking, she hurriedly left this sad place.
After this battle, she knew that her title of ever-victorious general was gone, and she was itching with hatred!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the angrier she became, the more she thought about it. Finally, she took out a bamboo slip and carved He Fang's name on it, staring at the bamboo slip with murderous intent!
After reading it, she carried the bamboo slips around her waist... and left here in anger.
Inside the city, Jiang Bin and Long Wu, who were guarding the command room, were still unaware of what was happening outside, and were frowning and thinking about defensive strategies.
Jiang Bin looked at the sand table and the number of defenders in the city, and frowned.
Then he looked in the direction of the enemy's granary, his eyes full of expectation.
Long Wu's eyes looked a little strange.
He has already thought up the defensive plan, and now he has been waiting for news of He Fang's defeat!
"Going to burn down someone else's granary in broad daylight is not going to lead to death. What's the point of winning by surprise? I think he is just a nerd!" He thought to himself, and the more he thought about it, the happier he became.
Thinking about what will happen next, I can’t even close my mouth with joy!
Xiaoxiao took a sip of wine and his expression softened.
He waited quietly, looking forward to it, wishing he could ride his horse to the granary to see the battle situation and see if anyone died in the battle!
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.
The messenger pushed open the door and walked in with a joyful look on his face, "General, the third princess successfully burned down the enemy's granary. The enemy has now withdrawn, and our Lindi City has been lifted from siege!"
Snap!
The wine glass in Long Wu's hand instantly fell to the ground and shattered into pieces!
His eyes were full of doubts and his fingers were trembling. He couldn't accept this reality no matter what!
Jiang Bin smiled slightly, and his eyes seemed to be smiling, "Okay! Very good! Very good! The third princess must have contributed a lot to the defense of Lindi City this time! I admire you very much!"
After that, he personally handed the courier a glass of wine. The courier drank it down in one gulp, then bowed and left quickly to report to other military camps.
The moment the door closed, his face instantly sank and his eyes were cold, "The third princess took all the credit this time! We came here in vain!"
"It's unbelievable! The Chu army was able to capture the granary in broad daylight! It's so stupid!" Long Wu said angrily, his eyes filled with anger, and he wished he could pull out the Chu army generals stationed at the granary and beat them up!
"This war has made the third princess a success, and even more so, Xiao Fangzi! The emperor will definitely give her a promotion, and we have another competitor." Jiang Bin pondered, his tone cold.
"That's true! Xiao Fangzi has endless potential, and he is the third princess's son. The emperor favors Xiao Fangzi more than us! If we let it continue to develop, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to us!" Long Wu said with a sideways look, trying to put it aside.
Jiang Bin's thoughts were directed towards where to assassinate.
"We will discuss this later. Let's go and greet the third princess first. There are still superficial tasks to be done." Jiang Bin straightened his clothes and walked towards the door.
Long Wu followed behind and wouldn't leave for a moment.
Lindi City, West Gate.
The Chu army had withdrawn completely. There were numerous footprints on the ground and countless wheel marks crisscrossing the ground.
The people standing on this land now are Diriyah and her elite cavalry, all of them smiling happily.
Because the soldiers on the tower kept calling her name.
"Third Princess! Mighty!"
"Third Princess! Mighty!"
"Third Princess! Mighty!"
Diriya almost lost herself in the shouts, feeling very happy in her heart.
As the city gate opened, Prefect Jiang Lang, General Jiang Bin and Pioneer Long Wu came out with joy on their faces.
However, Jiang Lang's smile makes people feel comfortable, Jiang Bin's smile feels fake, and the smile on Long Wu's face... is the ugliest, the most old-fashioned, and the most sinister!
Jiang Lang took a step forward with a smile on his face, "Congratulations to the third princess for the successful surprise attack and forcing the enemy back. Xiao Fangzi won a great victory in the first battle, and also contributed his plans. He played an indelible role in defending the city this time!"
Congratulations to both of you!”
"Congratulations! Congratulations to both of you!" Jiang Bin and Long Wu echoed in unison.
Diriyah smiled softly, feeling relaxed.
At this moment, she looked at He Fang with admiration. She felt that He Fang was not only proficient in poetry and poetry, but also had profound attainments in the art of war. The success of this surprise attack was the best proof!
"You are indeed my little Fangfang! You are so capable...!" She thought happily to herself.
"The enemy has retreated, it's time to celebrate! My wife has prepared a table of side dishes and invites the four of you to come and have a chat in the humble abode!" Jiang Lang said with a smile, his eyes almost narrowed to a slit.
