Chapter 843

Chapter 843 Retreating to Advance

"You believe him?"

Following the direction of Nangong Mingyue's finger, Nangong Kaige looked at Ye Chen, his face instantly darkened.

He had suppressed his anger just now, thinking that his sister Nangong Mingyue would give him some unexpected advice.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be something that everyone was extremely opposed to.

You must know that Ye Chen was collectively ridiculed by the generals just now. He himself chose not to trust him, and all the generals had already followed his orders.

If he chooses to believe Ye Chen now, wouldn't it mean that he, the general, has no independent opinion?

And if he himself questions his decision-making, what will the soldiers who just carried out the order risklessly think of him?

"Little sister, you are so naughty!"

Nangong Kaige said with a stern voice: "You are still young and you are a woman. I don't have to argue with you this time, but you are a princess after all. I hope you can understand the general situation!"

Nangong Kaige's voice fell, and there was another echoing voice from around him.

"Little princess, the general is commanding the army to fight. There is no room for distraction. Please don't disturb him anymore!"

"Little princess, it concerns the western border of our Yong'an Empire and the safety of 300,000 soldiers. I hope you will be careful in your words and deeds!"

"Little princess, there are no fathers and sons on the battlefield. If you continue to disrupt the general's command of the army, the general, as the enforcer of military law, will have no choice but to forcibly escort you in!"

For a time, all kinds of crusade broke out.

Even Nangong Qin, the fifth prince, was startled. While winking at Nangong Mingyue, he urged: "Little sister, what are you doing?

Don’t act willfully!”

The most shocked person was Ye Chen.

In his impression, Nangong Mingyue has always been taciturn and has no opinion. They usually do whatever they say, and Nangong Mingyue rarely raises objections.

I never thought that Nangong Mingyue would actually do something that even Nangong Qin, the fifth prince, did not dare to do in such a big matter.

However, what surprised him even more was yet to come...

"Second brother, I am not acting willfully, nor am I questioning your authority. I am just looking for a real solution to the problem for everyone!"

Faced with everyone's scolding, Nangong Mingyue not only did not shrink back in fear, but argued with reason: "Since you are not sure about the military order just issued, you should listen to other people's opinions!"

After a pause, he pointed at Ye Chen and added: "Although Young Master Ye is not a soldier, his strength is at the top of our Yong'an Empire!"

"In addition, when he was in the Central Region, he single-handedly broke the most powerful protective formation in Qianqiu Pavilion!"

"Since he just said that he can break the enemy's formation, I believe that he will not say it easily without a certain degree of confidence!"

"so……"

Nangong Mingyue took a deep breath, stared at Nangong Kaige and said word by word: "Second brother, please give him a chance to prove himself, and also give all the soldiers a chance to avoid greater casualties!"

"But……"

Nangong Kaige wanted to say something else, but was instantly interrupted by Nangong Mingyue, "Second brother, you just said that it is related to the life and death of 300,000 soldiers, and it is also related to the security of the empire's Western Region border!"

"If you just insist on your opinion because you can't lose face or don't want your authority to be challenged, what's the difference between this and being willful?"

The impassioned words made everyone stunned.

A woman was actually more courageous than most of the high-ranking generals present. This was far beyond everyone's expectations.

Especially Nangong Kaige, whose face turned blue and white for a while.

He really didn't want his authority to be challenged, and he didn't want to bow to a warrior who appeared out of nowhere.

However, if his 300,000-strong army were destroyed because of his own will, he would never want to see it.

After all, in the face of the security of the empire's borders and the life and death of 300,000 soldiers, his personal authority and face really mean nothing.

However……

"Report!"

Just when he was hesitating whether to bow his head to Ye Chen, an anxious shout suddenly came.

Following the sound, I saw a soldier running over quickly, kneeling on one knee in front of him, and said sadly: "General, the groups of soldiers you just sent out have been attacked by the enemy before they arrived at the designated place.

Crazy blocking, more than half of them were killed or injured!"

As soon as these words came out, Nangong Kaige staggered and almost fell to the ground.

The groups of troops he just sent out numbered as many as 50,000 people!

They had only reached the halfway point, and already more than half of them were dead or injured. This level of casualties was far beyond his expectation.

Especially when I think back to the estimate that Ye Chen made just now, regret surges from deep in my heart.

He was wrong, he was really wrong!

If we had acted cautiously and listened more to other people's opinions, how could there have been so many casualties?

"how so?"

"Is the Black Seal Empire's million-strong army really prepared?"

"With their offensive, even if we send out all our troops, we won't be able to resist it!"

Nangong Kaige was not the only one who was desperate, all the generals present were also extremely anxious.

They actually very much agreed with the decision made by Nangong Kaige just now, and they also felt that it should have miraculous results.

I never thought that it would be such a slap in the face.

Of course, it doesn’t matter whether you slap him in the face or not!

The important thing is that more than half of the 50,000 troops sent have suffered casualties. This is what they find extremely sad.

You must know that those soldiers who died were eating meat with them, drinking wine from large bowls, and confiding their feelings with them before that!

In the blink of an eye, we are separated forever!

"Second brother, if you are not sure that you can handle the enemy's attack next, don't insist on going your own way!"

Nangong Mingyue said at the right time.

Nangong Kaige's body trembled, and the expression on his face changed drastically. He finally suppressed his sadness, strode up to Ye Chen, and asked in a deep voice: "Master Ye, how sure are you that you can break the formation of the Black Seal Army?"

Law?"

"Sorry, not at all!"

Ye Chen shook his head and Yun Danfeng said lightly: "Besides, I have changed my mind now. Even if there is a chance to break the enemy's formation, I will not take action!"

Nangong Kaige's expression froze.

He had already chosen to bow his head, but he didn't expect Ye Chen to take advantage of the opportunity and take advantage of it?

"What you generals just said is actually correct. After all, I am a commoner and a layman. I really shouldn't be claptrap in front of generals like you who have been on the battlefield for many years and have rich combat experience!"

Before Nangong Kaige could say anything else, he glanced at Jin Lin and said, "Jin Lin, since we are too much of an eyesore here, let's go!"

"Yes, sir!"

Jin Lin responded and immediately strode behind Ye Chen, her charming face full of determination.

It looked like she would follow him without hesitation even if Ye Chen had to go through mountains of swords and seas of fire.
