A crisp sound sounded outside the Feifeng Palace. Shangguan Hong glared at Shangguan Bangning, with a terrifying murderous look on his figure.
"Don't try to increase others' ambition and destroy your own prestige!"
"If you can't defeat the Chu State, how can you hope to conquer the world?"
"Qing Ning, take good care of the princess. Neither of you can leave Feifeng Palace even half a step without my order."
"Today I remember that this is your first offender, so I won't argue with you. I will reflect on you in Feifeng Palace."
Shangguan Hong's cold voice sounded, he turned around with a puff of sleeves and strode forward.
Qing Ning saw Shangguan Bang Ningyu put her hand on her cheek, moved forward, knelt down, and made a trembling voice.
"Princess, it's all the slave's fault. The princess has been harmed."
"Qing Ning, get up quickly, all this has nothing to do with you!"
Shangguan Bangning's jade hand fell from her cheek, and five red handprints suddenly appeared on her pretty face. Crystal tears shone in her eyes, and she turned around and returned to Feifeng Palace.
............
The sun sets in the west, and the tired birds return to their nests.
A crimson glow shrouded the official road, a rumble of horse hooves resounded throughout the sky, and the Yanlong Empire's flags buzzed in the sky. Thousands of soldiers and horses, led by two commanders, rushed towards Yanfeng City.
Thousands of miles of sand rose up, and the army with its horses neighing in the wind moved away in a mighty manner. At this time, Chu Feifan and Zhao Yun were not driving on the official road.
On a narrow path, the light of sunset fell on the two of them, as if they were bathed in holy light.
"Your Majesty, climb over the mountain in front and walk a hundred miles to pass through Yanfeng City."
"Zilong, the mountain road here is rugged and the forward speed is slowed down. It will take at least four days to reach the territory of Chu State."
"It seems we have to find another way, or something will change later."
However.
at this time.
In Xuanyang City and the Chu army camp, Dugu Fa, Xue Rengui, Li Guang, Huang Zhong and others have received the edict from Tianmen.
And after informing him of what happened in Yanlong Imperial City, Li Guang sent messengers to go down to rest. They looked at the edict in front of them. Although they concluded that it was Chu Feifan's handwriting, everyone still had concerns.
"Zhe Farewell, you lead ten scouts to investigate outside the Yanlong military camp in the city. If they find anything unusual, send a message back immediately."
"General Li, General Huang, and General Xue, we had better make plans in advance and keep calm. As soon as the Yanlong army is dispatched, we will immediately use our troops to kill them all."
"General Dugu's words are reasonable, and using stillness to stop them is a sound strategy."
The generals walked out of the military camp and ordered the three armies to be ready at all times. At the same time, in Emperor Yanlong's camp, the soldiers sent by Shangguanhong to order had just arrived.
Generals Sikong Kui and Yu Chirong, together with dozens of their generals, knelt down to receive the order. After hearing the imperial edict and taking over the imperial edict, the two ordered their generals to quickly mobilize their troops and prepare to send troops to attack the Chu camp if they lost their troops.
"Yu Chirong, it's just dark now and the Chu army is not yet asleep. We should wait until after midnight before launching the attack. What do you think?"
"General Sikong, are you too cautious?"
"In Xuanyang City, the Chu army has less than 50,000 soldiers, and our army has 80,000 elite soldiers. Isn't he afraid of them?"
Yu Chirong was full of murderous intent, clutching the broad sword at his waist tightly, and made a disdainful voice.
"General Yuchi, don't underestimate the enemy. Don't forget that the Chu army was the first to attack Xuanyang City. The Chifeng Battalion under Dugu Fa is the king of heavy armored cavalry. This army alone is already a huge headache.
"
"If you want to capture Xuanyang City, you have to attack it unprepared. Otherwise, our 80,000 elite soldiers will fight fiercely with the Chu army, and the outcome will be between us."
Sikong Kui has been studying the Chifeng Battalion these days. He knows very well the combat power of this legion and the 50-50 win rate that he overestimated.
If they attack rashly, the Yanlongs are mostly infantry and will not be able to defeat the Chifeng Battalion. They will only become the lonely souls under their spears.
Yu Chirong's face was livid, he thought for a long time, and said unwillingly: "According to General Sikong's words, we will launch the attack after midnight."
Sikong Kui walked out of the military camp, looked around with a vigilant expression, and ordered the general behind him to lead his soldiers to the Chu camp to check the situation.
When Zhebie saw dozens of generals from Yanlong's enemy camp walking out, his deep eyes flashed with light, and he ordered the soldiers behind him to continue to monitor them. He turned around and quickly headed towards the Chu camp.
a long time.
After returning home, Zhebie returned to the Chu camp and informed the generals about Yanlong's enemy troops coming to investigate.
Xue Rengui's figure suddenly rose up, looked around the generals, chuckled, and said: "Generals, why don't we invite you to the urn for the Yanlong army?"
"What do you mean, General Xue!"
"General Dugu, Yanlong Guards Sikong Kui has quite a lot of military talent. He uses military skills to be careful. He will definitely not attack our army blatantly."
"Now that he has sent people to spy, he must want to know if our army is aware of it."
"Why don't we push the boat along with the current, loosen the outside and tighten the inside to lure them into taking the bait, and when the time comes, we can easily defeat them by combining the inside and the outside."
Hear the sound.
The generals nodded one after another, feeling that Xue Rengui's words were reasonable, and since then they have stopped in an absolute sense.
The generals walked out of the camp and ordered the three armies to remain as they were before. Yanlong's enemy soldiers came to check and found that the Chu army was not aware of it at all and was still defending exactly the same as usual.
Excitement flashed across the eyes of the leading general in the darkness. He waved his hand to signal everyone to step back, then turned around and quickly returned to Yanlong Camp.
Time ticked by, and it was already midnight in the blink of an eye.
There was a thick fog lingering under the sky. Generals Sikong Kui and Yu Chirong walked out of the military camp and ordered the three armies to attack the Chu army camp at night.
Sikong Kui divided the Yanlong army into four groups and attacked the Chu camp from four directions at the same time, overwhelming them and catching them off guard.
Starlight shone through the thick fog and fell on the long street. There was a rustling sound and dense black shadows passed by on the long street.
An hour later.
Sikong Kui led his troops to a stop a hundred meters away from the Chu camp. He looked straight ahead with vigilant eyes. An uneasy premonition came over him, and he felt a trace of panic in his heart.
But at this moment, killing cries soared into the sky from three sides of the Chu camp at the same time. Suddenly, the palace rose into the sky, and arrows flew into the Chu camp.
Screams and wails came one after another, and Sikong Kui was helpless. Three armies had already entered the Chu camp. He was responsible for attacking from the front, and he could not let the Chu army wait for an opportunity to escape.
"Whoa!"
The long sword was unsheathed, and the blade hit the sky. A majestic voice sounded, and with a command, the 20,000 troops behind Sikong Kui rushed toward the Chu camp like a torrent.
At this time, the Chu camp was surrounded by enemies from all sides, but when the Yanlong Empire's army rushed into the camp, the deafening screams suddenly stopped, and the dark camp was suddenly lit up like daylight.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
All the torches in the military camp were instantly raised, and the Chu troops with gleaming cold armor surrounded them. There was a rumble of horse hoofbeats. Sikong Kui looked back and looked behind, his stunned eyes resting on Xue Rengui, Li Guang, and Hua Rong.
