"Could it be that he regards war and personal struggle as the same thing?"
"It's okay to be ignorant. On the eve of the war, do you still dare to grandstand here?"
"General, this man is talking nonsense here and disturbing the morale of the army. The last general suggested that he should be taken down and dealt with according to military law!"
The generals around him became more and more angry as they talked.
Even Nangong Kaige, the commander-in-chief, cast a warning look at Ye Chen, "Master Ye, the battle between the two armies is about to begin. This matter is of great importance, so please be careful what you say!"
Even Nangong Qin, who has always been a fan of Ye Chen, chose to remain silent this time.
After all, the Black Seal Empire's million-strong army has arrived at the city, and a battle between the two armies is imminent.
Once the fighting started, there would be rivers of blood and mountains of bones.
It's really not good for Ye Chen, a person who has never been exposed to military affairs, to make noises at such a time.
"All right!"
Ye Chen didn't forcefully explain, he just smiled, then stepped aside.
At this time, a general stood out from the crowd, clasped his fists at Nangong Kaige, and said loudly and forcefully: "General, I am willing to lead five thousand cavalry to test!"
"allow!"
Nangong Kaige nodded without thinking, "Since the Black Seal Empire is so aggressive, it seems that it is impossible for us to avoid the battle. You should immediately lead five thousand cavalry forward to test and see if you can find any loopholes in the formation.
!”
"The last general takes command!"
The general responded and immediately retreated.
Under his leadership, the city gate below slowly opened, and five thousand heavily armored cavalry rushed out in a mighty manner, like a sharp sword, piercing the millions of black seal vanguard troops more than ten miles away.
Based on its momentum alone, it seemed to be invincible. Wherever it passed, smoke and dust billowed, and the sound of iron hooves was deafening.
However, when they actually faced the vanguard of the million-strong Black Seal army, it was like hitting an egg against a stone, and the formation fell apart in an instant.
Especially the soldiers who were at the forefront were shaken by the formation formed by the millions of Black Seal troops, and even their bodies were left.
The formation formed by the millions of troops of the Black Seal roughly looks like a sky-swallowing python. Although it advances extremely slowly, it is indestructible.
Especially the vanguard troops were vaguely organized into a giant mouth.
As soon as the Yong'an Empire's five thousand cavalry approached, the Black Seal army immediately gathered their strength together and exerted force at the same time. The power spurted out from the "big mouth" was like a ferocious torrent, instantly overwhelming the Yong'an Empire.
The five thousand cavalry charged and were defeated.
Only a small number of surviving soldiers fled back with varying degrees of injuries.
"So strong!"
"What kind of weird formation are they doing?"
"Five thousand heavily armored cavalry were defeated like this without even the slightest resistance?"
On the city wall, the generals of the Yong'an Empire headed by Nangong Kaige were all shocked by the battle ahead.
It's just that no matter how desperate they are, no one can come up with a more effective response to the millions of lions in the Black Seal Empire.
"Since we can't attack head-on, it seems we can only attack from the side!"
His face changed for a moment, and Nangong Kaige gritted his teeth and said to the general behind him: "Li Mu, you lead 10,000 archers from the dense forest and try to get around the enemy's abdomen in the shortest time. When I give the order, immediately attack
The enemy launches a long-range attack!"
"I will obey your orders!"
The general responded and immediately went down to mobilize his troops.
"Liu Zhong, you immediately lead 10,000 spearmen, march from the forest on the right, and also go around the enemy's belly, prepare to cooperate with the archers to launch an attack!"
…
Next, Nangong Kaige issued a series of orders.
Although Ye Chen never asked anything, he still roughly heard it.
Nangong Kaige's purpose in making these orders was to disrupt the enemy's formation at a very small cost, and then defeat them one by one.
The generals who listened to Nangong Kaige's orders were indeed very loyal. Even if some generals knew that they were receiving orders that meant they would almost die, they would not hesitate. After accepting the orders, they would go with a solemn and solemn expression as if they were throwing themselves into a sea of fire.
"What a group of loyal, courageous, brave and fearless soldiers!"
Seeing that the soldiers had begun to act according to Nangong Kaige's deployment, Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh.
Next to him, Nangong Qin's expression changed, and he came over and asked softly: "Does Brother Ye also think that my second brother's plan will work?"
"Uh...you misunderstood!"
Ye Chen shook his head and said somewhat unbearably: "I just admire their bravery and fearless spirit, regardless of life and death, but I didn't say that His Highness's plan will work!"
"Brother Ye means that these soldiers sent by my second brother may be more dangerous than others?"
Nangong Qin's expression changed slightly.
He still trusts Ye Chen.
After all, along the way, Ye Chen, in addition to being incredibly strong personally, has also shown extremely high attainments in various fields.
In particular, Ye Chen has always been extremely low-key.
Since I just dared to say in public that there was a way to break the enemy's formation, maybe it was true.
It's just that he is invincible to Nangong Kaige, and the generals here don't understand Ye Chen, so they are all kinds of sarcastic and disbelieving.
"According to my estimation, if they really follow His Highness's plan, the number of people who can come back alive will definitely not exceed 20%!"
Ye Chen pondered for a moment and said this.
"What?
Less than 20% can come back alive?"
Nangong Qin took a deep breath.
But when a general next to him heard this, he sneered and said: "Your Highness, the fifth prince, don't blame me for talking too much, but I still advise you, you'd better not listen to that kid's nonsense. After all, marching troops are separated by mountains.
Fighting is different from street fighting!"
Another general echoed: "Yes, the general has led us to guard the border of the Western Region for decades. We have fought hundreds of large and small battles with the Black Seal Empire's army. The general has always used his troops like a god, and has repeatedly achieved miraculous feats."
, I won’t let you down this time either!”
Another person said: "Your Highness, the fifth prince, the general is your second brother. You don't even trust him. You actually choose to trust an outsider, and he is still a young boy. It is really hard to understand the general!"
"this……"
Being targeted collectively by so many generals, Nangong Qin was somewhat embarrassed.
He originally just wanted to exchange opinions with Ye Chen in private, but he didn't expect that he would become aroused.
So much so that in the following time, he did not dare to speak anymore.
On the contrary, the little princess Nangong Mingyue, who had always been taciturn, suddenly gritted her teeth after taking a look at the formations of the two armies, walked up to Nangong Kaige and said, "Second brother, I have something to say!"
"Little sister, the war is urgent now. If it's not an urgent matter, don't disturb me. Otherwise, don't blame my second brother for not caring about the relationship between brother and sister!"
Before Nangong Mingyue said what was going on, Nangong Kaige gave him a warning.
Nangong Mingyue seemed to have expected this, and did not flinch. Instead, she said bravely: "Second brother, I am not questioning your authority and ability to lead troops in war, but I see that when you issued the order just now, you still
If you are worried, you probably don’t have much confidence, right?”
"you……"
Nangong Kaige suddenly became a little angry.
But after looking into Nangong Mingyue's firm eyes for a moment, he suppressed his anger and said impatiently: "Okay, so what if you guessed it. With the current situation, even I, who has been on the battlefield for decades, can't do it."
No one can do anything about it. Could it be that your daughter, who has never been exposed to the military, can come up with any clever ideas?"
"I don't have any clever ideas, but..."
Nangong Mingyue shook her head first, then pointed at Ye Chen and said decisively: "I believe him!"
