After a night that could not be described in detail, Lou Qianxue appeared in the tent with a pair of dark circles under her eyes.
“Qianxue lass, you…”
Zhen Guogong’s expression was strange. He looked at Lou Qianxue, who appeared sleepy and even more lethargic than the night before.
An unreadable expression flashed across Crown Prince Yu’s eyes, and a smile appeared on his pale, handsome face. “Miss Lou, do you want to go and rest for a while longer?”
It’s all that rascal’s fault! Lou Qianxue inwardly cursed Dan Taiyuan as she smiled at the people in the tent. “It’s not necessary.”
“Then, shall we discuss the war?”
“Alright.”
“The Nandu Nation’s one-million-strong military is right outside the fifth line of defense and may attack at any moment.. Miss Lou, what solutions do you have?”
“What solution do we need?” The irritation Lou Qianxue had accumulated from the night before surged in her. She harrumphed and icily said, “Just march up and f*ck them!”
“…”
“Cough! I mean we should simply dispatch troops and face them head-on!” Lou Qianxue coughed and continued, “I am willing to spearhead this battle! Moreover, the Nandu Nation’s military lost 100,000 cavalry soldiers yesterday. Excluding the 30,000 soldiers I killed when I burned down their food supplies, they only have about 800,000 soldiers. We are not that far from them!”
“That’s right! Although the Nandu Nation has experts from the south and the north, our Tian Zhao generals are not to be trifled with either! Moreover, they lack food supplies now. Their soldiers are not properly fed. In this regard, we have an advantage over them! We should directly fight them, chase them back to the first line of defense, then wage a war of attrition with them. We will surely win!”
Everyone voiced their opinions.
Crown Prince Yu nodded. “Since no one opposes this, then let’s go and meet the Nandu Nation’s military.”
“Your Royal Highness, you…” Zhen Guogong looked at the Crown Prince with shock. “Are you…”
“Yes! I want to go to the front line with everyone.”
“You must not!” The generals had a drastic change of expression. “The front line is dangerous! What if something happens to Your Royal Highness…”
Crown Prince Yu shook his head. “I have made up my mind. Generals, please save your breaths.”
Everyone became silent but was worried.
“Don’t worry!” Lou Qianxue stood up. “His Royal Highness is not a child. He won’t take his life lightly. Everyone, please do not worry.”
An hour later, Tian Zhao’s 700,000 soldiers were geared up.
They had spared 300,000 soldiers, who stayed behind to guard the last three lines of defense.
Crown Prince Yu, Lou Qianxue, Zhen Guogong, and other generals led the rest 400,000 soldiers and headed toward the fifth line of defense…
At the fifth line of defense, military trenches were weaved through the land.
Inside the trench was the Tian Zhao Empire.
Outside the trench was the Nandu Nation.
“Strange, why have the people we sent to kill Tian Zhao’s Crown Prince not returned? Could they have…”
“Impossible, general. That’s 100,000 cavalrymen! No matter how formidable that woman is, it’s impossible for her to kill all those soldiers.”
“That’s true! Maybe the Tian Zhao Crown Prince is too good at escaping, so they haven’t caught up with him yet.”
“However, why has there been no updates from Liang city? Didn’t Liu Mansheng say that he would come and negotiate with us once he reorganizes the Tian Zhao military? Why has he not shown up? Did he decide to go back on his word?”
“Let’s wait longer! If Liu Mansheng still does not come by noon, then we shall charge over. I do not believe that our 900,000 soldiers can’t conquer a small Liang city!”
The Nandu Nation general was speaking when…
“Gen… general…”
Someone gulped and said with a trembling voice, “Tian Zhao… Tian Zhao’s military has come!”
“Hmm?” The generals raised their heads and looked at the Tian Zhao military that charged over like a huge flood. Their expressions drastically changed. “So many people? This does not seem like a negotiation! They have not come in peace! Quick, everyone gear up! Get ready for the war!”
