The enemy soldiers of South Chu were already terrified by the soldiers of Qing Ming Pass. They had attacked fiercely for so long, but there was no progress at all. They had not even taken down a section of the city wall. Their morale was low.
After the sun slowly rose in the horizon, the enemy general of South Chu finally ordered the army to retreat when he saw that things could not be done.
Looking at the South Chu army slowly retreating like a tide, the soldiers on the city wall finally cheered. They had finally beaten back the enemy.
However, after a while, the cheers gradually died down along with someone's sobs.
Looking at the corpses of his comrades who had depended on each other for life and death everywhere, a tragic feeling spread, and the sound of sobbing gradually began to spread.
Ni Huang looked at the retreating enemy troops and cried tears of joy. It was as if her spirit had been sucked away and she was about to collapse to the ground.
Lin Shu, who was standing beside her, hurriedly went forward to help Ni Huang up, preventing her from falling down.
"Ni Huang! Good job, I'm proud of you."
When Ni Huang heard Lin Shu's words, she could no longer hold back her tears. This battle was too intense.
There were only 70,000 troops in Qing Ming Pass, but they had to fight against 200,000 enemies.
Although there were 100,000 border troops in Yunnan, the remaining 30,000 soldiers were too far away. It had only been less than 20 days since South Chu suddenly attacked and besieged Lord Yun Nan. It would take a long time for the troops to be deployed, so the 30,000 soldiers had not arrived yet. Therefore, they could only rely on the 40,000 soldiers stationed in Qing Ming Pass and the 30,000 soldiers who had just arrived to resist the sudden attack.
At this moment, Lin Shu said to Ni Huang,"Ni Huang, I know that you're tired, but you'd better persevere for a while longer. We've only obtained a temporary victory in the war, morale is still very important. We can't let it collapse now. We still need you to go and console the soldiers, so as to establish your prestige in the army.”
Ni Huang stood up after hearing Lin Shu's words and said,"I know. I can hold on. Don't worry, brother.”
"Okay, let's go."
Thus, Ni Huang, Lin Shu, and the rest of the soldiers walked around the city wall. They greeted the soldiers who were fighting a bloody battle and then started to order the people to clean up the battlefield. The injured were carried to be treated while the rest of the people cleaned up the city wall.
After persisting for a long time, Lin Shu pulled Ni Huang back to rest.
After Ni Huang went to rest, Lin Shu did not.
South Chu had only retreated temporarily. The war was not over yet.
Thus, Lin Shu started again, dispatching people to take turns to prevent South Chu from attacking again.
After today's battle, everyone in the army had recognized Lin Shu. Today, Lin Shu had displayed his might on the city wall. With a long sword, he protected Ni Huang, who was standing at the most eye-catching spot on the city wall. He knocked away all the arrows and killed waves of enemies who were trying to assassinate Ni Huang. He was like a god of war.
Therefore, when Lin Shu began to deploy them, she did not encounter any difficulties. Everyone was very obedient.
Another day passed and the remaining 30,000 border guards arrived. Lin Shu instructed Ni Huang to mix them into the 70,000 soldiers of Qing Ming Pass.
The newly arrived elite soldiers had learned about Princess Ni Huang and Mei Changsu's deeds from the soldiers who had participated in the previous battle. Therefore, they began to worship Ni Huang and Mei Changsu from the bottom of their hearts. They also began to look forward to the upcoming battle without fear.
On the third day after the battle, Lin Shu's secret troops finally arrived.
Wei Zheng disguised himself and Li Gang led the 30,000 secret troops of the Jiang Zuo Alliance and the children that Lin Shu had specially trained Wei Zheng to hide in the mountains outside Qing Ming Pass. Li Gang went to Qing Ming Pass to find Lin Shu and report to him.
In a room, Li Gang knelt on one knee and said to Lin Shu,"Sect Master, the 30,000 secret troops and Wei Zheng have arrived. They are hiding in the mountains outside Qing Ming Pass. May I ask what Sect Master is going to do next?”
Lin Shu looked at Li Gang and said happily,""It's good that you're here. We've been waiting for you guys. You and Wei Zheng bring them to rest in the mountains today.”
Then, Lin Shu took out the map and pointed at it while saying to Li Gang,"After that, you will bring some people to the back of the Southern Chu army from the small path on the mountain. From there, you will first obtain their supplies. Then, a portion of people will pretend to be Southern Chu soldiers and escort the rations into the camp. Then, in the middle of the night the day after tomorrow, you will lead your men to attack the South Chu camp as much as possible. You will assassinate all the generals of the South Chu army with all your might and set off some fire to disturb them. Retreat before dawn and don't linger in battle. Can you do that?”
Li Gang smiled and said," Yes. Isn't the secret force specialized in this? Sect Master, don't worry. We will definitely complete the mission."”
Lin Shu nodded with a smile." Alright. We've been training for a thousand days. Let me see the results of your training."”
"I won't disappoint you, Sect Master." Li Gang knelt on one knee and said.”
Lin Shu walked up to Li Gang and patted his shoulder.""Alright, I'll leave it to you. Go and arrange it.”
After Li Gang received the order, he left quietly.
Then, Lin Shu went to find Ni Huang and asked her to gather all the high-ranking officers to prepare for the meeting.
When everyone arrived, Lin Shu said to them,"Everyone, I called you here because the opportunity has come. This time, we must make sure that the enemy of South Chu will not be able to return.”
After hearing Lin Shu's words, the high-ranking generals were all excited. In the past few days, they had basically understood Lin Shu's military skills. Now that they heard Lin Shu's words, they believed him very much.
"Mr. Mei," General Zhangsun took the lead and said,"I don't know if you have any plans.”
Lin Shu smiled and asked his subordinate to bring the map."This is the encampment of the invading soldiers of the Southern Chu. Princess Nihuang and I will lead 70,000 border troops to launch a surprise attack at dawn the day after tomorrow. We will try our best to kill the enemy.”
"Also, whether or not we can wipe out all the South Chu soldiers this time will depend on General Zhangsun.”
General Zhangsun cupped his hands and said,"Please instruct me, Mr. Mei. I will definitely be able to complete it."”
Upon hearing Zhangsun's words, Lin Shu pointed to a place on the map and said,""This time, I would like to ask General Zhangsun to lead 30,000 soldiers and ambush them here. This is the route that the South Chu soldiers will pass through on their way back. General Zhangsun will lead his men to ambush them here and wait for the defeated South Chu soldiers. When the time comes, we will block the road and wipe them out with Ni Huang and me.”
General Zhangsun and the other higher-ups looked at Lin Shu in confusion. Was it that simple?
In the end, it was General Zhangsun who came out and said,""Mr. Mei, is it that simple? How could you and the viscountess bring 70,000 soldiers to destroy the camp of 200,000 Southern Chu soldiers? Don't tell me Mister Mei has no other plans?”
