BXBX NOVEL Chapter 938 - 938: Surprise attack (2)
With the reinforcements of the Kang Kingdom, it was impossible to attack the city again.
Supply lines cut off.
Without the supply line, the DA Feng Army was like a building without a Foundation. It was only a matter of time before it collapsed. This sharp knife that had been stabbed into the fire country’s belly, had its edge ground flat.
A bonfire was burning in the tent.
The youth faction led by Chen Ying and the Wei Yuan faction led by Nangong qianrou were gathered together.
Chen Ying stood in front of the sandbox and pointed out,
“The strategy of the Kang Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom is clear at a glance. They’ll trap us under the Yan capital until we run out of ammunition and food, or when we scatter and flee, and then they’ll split us up and eat us. We’re running out of food, so we’ll have to kill the horses and eat the day after tomorrow.”
One of the generals grinned. I’ll be in charge of plundering rations. There are many villages near Yan city. We’ll at least be able to get some food. You can’t kill the horse, you definitely can’t.”
“General Zhao, I’ll leave it to you.” Chen Ying chuckled. Lord Wei’s mission for us was to hold on for ten days. Now that six days have passed, we’ll hold on for four more days. After four days, we’ll retreat.”
After a pause, he glanced at the generals and saw that they were not in high spirits. He muttered to himself for a moment and said frankly, ‘
“To tell the truth, this battle was fought in an inexplicable manner, and the shortage of provisions was even more inexplicable. I still don’t understand Lord Wei’s intentions. However, military orders are like mountains. Even if the Duke of Wei asks me to go through mountains of daggers and seas of flames, I will not blink.
“We still have 30000 brothers left. In four days, I don’t know how many of them will be able to survive, and I don’t even know if I can survive. However, the witchcraft cult had gone too far in their bullying.
“They colluded with the Imperial court’s officials, usurped the armaments of my great Feng, supported the mountain bandits in Yunzhou, and caused the people to live in misery. Now, you’re even trying to occupy the North and surround the northeast border of my great Feng.
“Even if we are completely annihilated in this battle, we will still exhaust the military strength of the fire and Kang countries. Everyone, are you afraid of death?”
what are you afraid of? if you dare to enter the battlefield, you’re not afraid of death. A general cursed.
“It’s just four days. I’ll still be alive and kicking after four days.”
Lord Wei asked us to delay. Let alone four days, I can complete the task in 40 days.
The crowd looked at Nangong qianrou, and the man with a feminine appearance said indifferently, “”1’11 be leaving with 10000 heavy cavalrymen tonight,”
“Lord Wei’s mission?” Chen Ying stared at him with a burning gaze.
Nangong qianrou replied with an ‘en’.
Chen Ying looked at him for a long time before the handsome young man revealed a smile. alright, you can focus on your own matters. Leave this to us.
Nangong qianrou ignored him and turned to leave.
Just as he was about to walk out of the tent, he suddenly stopped. Nangong qianrou slowly swept her eyes across everyone’s faces and looked carefully. He took a deep breath and cupped his fists.
“Everyone, take care!”
“Take care!”
The soldiers said in a deep voice.
Nangong qianrou took off her helmet and gently placed it on the ground. She bent her waist, paused for a few seconds, and then strode away.
Yan city.
The hall was lit up by candlelight, and nurheka sat on the throne, listening to the discussions of the officials.
Compared to the embarrassment of Da Feng’s Army, the atmosphere here was clearly much more relaxed, even brimming with joy.
After defending the city for six days, Da Feng’s Army only attacked the city on the first day. After leaving behind thousands of corpses, they left in defeat and did not launch a second attack.
On the other hand, because of the arrival of the Kang Kingdom’s reinforcements, they had realized a pincer attack, cut off the supply line of great Feng, and cut off their provisions.
As long as they could drag this out for a few more days, Da Feng would have to withdraw their troops, and the remaining troops they had would no longer be able to attack the city. In other words, the capital was already as stable as Mount Tai, and they were not afraid of the Feng Army showing weakness.
The moment they retreated, the Yan and Kang kingdoms could even pursue.
The winner would be the witchcraft cult.
In this way, the so-called great military God Dafeng was not as terrifying as he had imagined.
The turn in the situation had given the people of the Fire Country a strong sense of self-confidence, and the reputation that had accumulated during the battle at Weiyuan’s Shanhai Pass was instantly reduced by a lot.
“Hehe, it seems that the God of War, Da Feng, is not good at sieging.”
“It could also be that the twenty years of imperial court politics have worn down his spirit. After not leading an Army for twenty years, things have long changed.”
with this battle, the Yan country will be able to step on Wei Yuan’s name and shake the entire nine states.
“You want to attack the headquarters with only one hundred thousand people?
You’re delusional.”
Wei Yuan led his Army on. Northern Expedition, but was met with tenacious resistance in the Yan country. In the end. he was defeated and fled back to the borders of Da Feng with the remnants of his troops … The history books would definitely record this.
Nurheka turned his head and looked at the robed State Teacher yelbu, who was holding a golden staff. He laughed.
“State preceptor yelbu, after we defeat Wei Yuan, we can split up our forces and help the Kang Kingdom settle the War in the North. After this battle, it would be very difficult for Da Feng to send any more reinforcements. You will be part of the witchcraft religion’s territory if you carry thirty thousand miles on your back.”
there’s no hurry in the War in the North, ” yelbu said calmly. the headquarters ‘order is to destroy the great Feng Army within the country’s borders, especially Wei Yuan. He can’t be allowed to return to great Feng.
Nurheka was stunned and frowned.
He did not understand the meaning behind the headquarters ‘order. War was not an armed fight. One’s vision was always on the long-term and the overall situation, not on one or a few people.
Defeating the Feng Army and taking over the northern lands was far more important than killing Wei Yuan.
however, to be able to stop Wei Yuan within the fire country’s borders is indeed a pleasant surprise, ” yelbu continued. your mission has been completed. I’ll ask the headquarters for a reward on your behalf.
“Thank you, state preceptor,” nurheka said with a smile. Suddenly, ILB tilted his head and assumed an listening posture..
