Ye Qiu originally thought that Phantom wouldn't care about this matter, but he didn't expect her to praise him after he accepted this mission. Good job!
Then, Ye Qiu became excited. Moreover, he was already confident. This confidence came entirely from Phantasmal Shadow, because Phantasmal Shadow had never disappointed him.
At the west gate of Lujiang City, other than a few guards in charge of opening and closing the gates, there was no one else. There was not even a single person on the entire city tower. If the enemy attacked, they would probably collapse in an instant. Some generals had raised objections to Ye Qiu, but they were all ignored by Ye Qiu. He gave the order that they only needed to guard their respective city gates. They did not need to pay attention to other places, nor were they allowed to go to the rescue.
As the war was approaching, the merchants in Lujiang City were also busy. Boxes of treasures rushed to get on the bus. They were about to run because they did not think that they could defend Lujiang City with such a small number of troops.
The evening sky was full of stars. It was a night suitable for romance.
Ye Qiu followed Diao Chan and climbed up the western city tower. Looking at the silent wilderness, Ye Qiu frowned and slowly said,"I wonder if tonight will be peaceful.”
"Don't worry, nothing will happen tonight.”Phantasmal Shadow said confidently," It will take at least a day for the Shu army to march from Jingzhou to Lujiang. Even if they have already reached the border of Lujiang, I'm afraid that they will be exhausted. If we attack now, they will definitely be the ones at a disadvantage. Therefore, I guess that the enemy will launch a surprise attack tomorrow morning. They will take advantage of our fatigue to launch a surprise attack and catch us off guard."”
"Then why don't we dig a hole and wait for them to jump in?"”
"It's useless." " We are outnumbered." Phantasmal Shadow sighed helplessly and said," Even if the enemy falls into their trap, what can we do with our 10,000 soldiers?" In the face of absolute power, all schemes and plots were useless. Moreover, the opponent's strategist was Zhuge Kongming. How could he be fooled just like that?”
"Then what should we do? We can't just wait for death, right?" "If we let them attack us, we definitely won't be able to defend."”
"So we must not take the normal path.”"Do you have the guts to barge into the enemy camp with me at night?"”
Hearing this, Ye Qiu's body trembled and he said in a clear voice,""Of course!"
After a pause, his eyes lit up and he said in surprise,"You mean…to catch the leader first?”
"This is our only chance.”
Ye Qiu nodded. With his 10,000 soldiers guarding the city, it would be a miracle if they could hold on. He might as well kill all the generals and strategists of the enemy and turn them upside down.
With a decision made, Ye Qiu relaxed. Just as he was about to go down the city tower, footsteps suddenly came from the stairs. Ye Qiu looked in the direction of the sound and was stunned. Then, he asked in surprise,"Why are you guys here?"
The two people who went up to the city gate tower were actually the Qiao sisters who had a grudge with him.
"Humph! Sister said that she wanted to say goodbye to you before she left.”Qiao Wan crossed her arms and looked at Ye Qiu with disdain." You really overestimate yourself. You dare to take on this important task with just 10,000 soldiers. You're playing with the lives of these 10,000 soldiers."”
"Wan 'er, don't say so much. The fact that Lord Ye dared to take on this important task is enough to prove his courage and courage. Even if he can't defend the city, he's still stronger than us weak women. At the very least, he once worked hard for this city, but we could only escape to a safe place. Compared to them who sacrificed their lives and spilled their blood, how could we be qualified to judge Lord Ye's mistakes?”Although Qiao Xue was speaking up for Ye Qiu, she didn't have any confidence in Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu was also a man with dignity. It had clearly not happened yet, so why was he in such a hurry to make a decision? Who said that with ten thousand soldiers, they couldn't defend the city and chase away the Shu army? Everything was possible. Who would know who would win or lose until the last moment?
"If you are here to taunt me, you can leave now.”"I will definitely win this war!" Ye Qiu said coldly.”
Meeting Ye Qiu's determined eyes, Qiao Xue suddenly felt a little flustered for some reason, and there was deep guilt in her panic.
"Didn't you receive the news? The 100,000-strong army of Sichuan and Shu was marching east, and the commander of the three armies was Zhuge Kongming, who was known as the God of War. How could the 10,000 soldiers of Lujiang City resist? It's not that I'm looking down on you, but it's impossible to succeed. If you insist on it, you'll only make the 10,000 soldiers of Lujiang City sacrifice in vain!”This time, Qiao Wan didn't mock Ye Qiu, and her words were normal.
Ye Qiu harrumphed and said in a low voice,"You don't know anything at all. It's ridiculous to come here and persuade me to stop fighting."”
How could they know that if they were to flee from the battle, it would be equivalent to giving up on themselves.
" You…" Qiao Wan was furious. She was clearly concerned about him, but this person was like a stone in a latrine pit, smelly and hard.
"Sun Bofu wants me dead, Duke Jin of Zhou wants me dead, Zhuge Kongming wants me dead, but I am still alive and well. In the near future, I will kill all three of them. Before I kill them, what reason do I have to die?”
"You…Aren't you General Sun's subordinate?”Qiao Wan asked in surprise.
"When did I say I was his subordinate? He only left 10,000 troops to help me defend the city. Is this what a lord should do? He hates me to the bone and can't wait for me to die. Unfortunately, he's a big shot and can't attack me openly. He can only use such despicable methods.”Ye Qiu sneered." He has long given up on Lujiang City because even if he used all his troops to defend the city, it would be impossible to hold on. The 10,000 soldiers he left behind are just cannon fodder."”
"Impossible!" Qiao Wan shouted.
Qiao Xue was also shocked. She took a deep breath and said,"Why are you still helping him defend the city?"
"That's why I said you don't understand." Ye Qiu looked at the sky in the west and said in a deep voice,"I want to make the impossible possible. There's nothing in this world that I, Ye Qiu, can't do!”
Only when Ye Qiu and Diao Chan walked down the city gate tower did Qiao Xue and Qiao Wan come back to their senses. They indeed did not understand Ye Qiu's thoughts, but when he said those words just now, it was as if he had changed into a different person.
The neighing of the horse sounded. The Qiao sisters looked in the direction of the sound, but they only saw a fleeting back.
Ye Qiu had actually left at this time. This was something the two girls had never expected.
