The Invincible Sixth Prince

As dusk approached, Jia Yao led Heasu's troops to slowly retreat.

It looks like they are looking for a suitable place to camp.

In fact, it was quietly advancing towards Qingyi.

Yun Zheng also led his men to collect firewood, on the one hand to make torches, and on the other hand to light a large number of bonfires at night to paralyze the enemy.

After nightfall, Yun Zheng sent people to make noise outside the city several times.

Listening to the noise outside the city, Qiu Shanjun snorted again with disdain: "Isn't it just a strategy to tire out the enemy? Over and over again, there are only these tricks!"

Qiu Shanjun simply disdained Yun Zheng's strategy of tiring the enemy.

They are defending the city, and those who are now defending the city are all young and strong men who were temporarily recruited.

By the time Yun Zheng had exhausted these forcibly conscripted young and strong men, their own army would certainly be exhausted as well.

At that time, if Yun Zheng launched an attack, he could completely replace him with elite troops to defend the city.

Staff: "Even so, we still have to be on guard!"

"Ah."

Qiu Shanjun nodded slightly, "Pass the order down, tell our elite troops to plug their ears and sleep peacefully! Order the soldiers guarding the city to step up their vigilance!"

This strategy of tiring out the enemy will not take one or two days.

It would take at least two or three days of this to exhaust the soldiers defending the city.

After the messenger went to deliver the message, Akiyama-kun said to his staff meaningfully, "Euljimu seems to be particularly well-behaved these past few days!"

In his opinion, Yi Zhiwu should not be so obedient.

The reason why Yi Zhiwu is so well-behaved now is probably that he is plotting something and wants to harm him at the critical moment.

Especially after Yun Zheng sent people to shout into the city today, what he was most worried about was that the bastard Yi Zhiwu would do something bad to him.

The staff frowned slightly, "Your Highness suspects that Yizhi Wuhui has been bewitched by Yun Zheng, and is thus detrimental to Your Highness?"

"Correct!"

A look of worry welled up on Qiu Shanjun's face, "The person in this city who wants me dead the most is Yi Zhiwu!"

"Your Highness, please do not make any assumptions." The staff member said worriedly, "After all, Yi Zhiwu still has a relationship with the Great King's Chi. The possibility that he killed Your Highness and went to Yun Zheng to claim the reward is too small!"

"Now is the critical time for us to defend Luyi Prefecture. If Your Highness is suspicious of the generals around you, it will be disadvantageous to us..."

Ugh!

Yun Zheng's evil plan finally worked.

Although he did not use anyone else to kill Akiyama-kun, he had already planted the seeds of doubt in Akiyama-kun's heart.

This is extremely disadvantageous to them.

Sometimes, people are afraid of being suspicious.

Once you become suspicious, even simple things will become extremely complicated.

Qiu Shanjun said nothing.

Although he knew that what his staff said made sense, it was impossible for him not to be suspicious at this moment.

No matter what, Euljimu is the prince's man.

Such a person will never gain his trust.

It’s all that old guy’s fault and those treacherous villains in the court!

Why send Eul Ji-mu when there are so many other people to support us?

This is clearly disgusting to yourself!

After dinner, Akiyama-kun went to inspect the camp again, and then climbed to the top of the city wall to take a look outside.

A quarter of an hour ago, the enemy troops outside the city gradually calmed down.

Looking up, you can see piles of bonfires outside the city.

Around the campfire, the enemy's activities can be clearly seen.

At this time, the night was not cold, but the enemy had not set up camp, so tonight would definitely not be an easy night.

I think, in another two or three days, the food and supplies escorted by the enemy's rear should arrive, right?

By then, the enemy will have a good rest for the night and will be able to attack the city the next day, right?

This Yun Zheng is indeed a little smart.

Let the cavalry launch a quick attack first, and use the strategy of tiring them out.

By the time their soldiers defending the city were exhausted, their men had rested and were ready to attack the city with all their strength.

His calculations were quite good!

It’s a pity that I had already seen through his tricks!

After watching silently for a while, Akiyama-kun instructed the soldiers guarding the city to strengthen their vigilance, then walked down the city wall and rushed to the mansion.

On the way back home, Qiu Shanjun was extremely cautious and looked around from time to time, fearing that a hidden arrow might be shot out from the dark.

When Qiu Shanjun returned home to rest, Yun Zheng had already led the vanguard troops away.

The remaining few people will leave later and catch up with their main force.

Since Jia Yao had already led his men to launch a surprise attack in the front, their advance was unusually smooth.

Near noon, they all arrived at Xiaohe Town and joined up with Jia Yao's troops.

Upon learning that Yun Zheng had arrived, Jia Yao, who was formulating a strategy for attacking the city, hurried to see Yun Zheng.

"How was it? Did the raid go smoothly along the way?"

Yunzheng asked with a smile.

"Of course it went well."

Jia Yao said with a smile: "These small towns on the road have no intention of resisting our army when they see it!"

These small towns don’t even have a decent city wall, how can they resist their cavalry?

"That's good!"

Yun Zheng smiled, "Then you go ahead and do your thing. We'll take a break and launch the attack in the evening!"

Jia Yao tilted his head and said, "Why don't you ask if Xiandeng has arrived?"

"No need to ask."

Yun Zheng smiled, "It's already this time, no matter if they arrive or not, we must launch an attack!"

"You can think about it."

Jia Yao smiled and said, "They have arrived and are resting! I have to say that the enemy has really used the defensive tactics to the extreme!"

The Xiandeng camp rushed all the way here, but encountered enemy spies when they were almost reaching Xiaohe Town.

The enemy did not even send anyone to guard the dangerous places along the way.

By now, the enemy's tactics were clear.

Protect the big city and abandon the small city.

Rely on big cities to launch defense and consume their manpower.

There was no intention to take the initiative.

Although this can be considered a good strategy, it is too conservative.

This is equivalent to putting all the initiative in their hands.

If she were to defend, she would definitely sacrifice the small city to protect the big city.

But she will also take the initiative and look for opportunities to defeat the enemy.

Even if we can gain a small advantage over the enemy, it will be good.

"Just hide away!"

Yun Zheng smiled, "During the Dayong Dynasty, the Li Dynasty relied on the defensive tactics to survive until winter, forcing the 20 armies of the Dayong Dynasty to retreat! They probably want to use the same trick again!"

Since the enemy wants to retreat, let them retreat to the end.

The more the enemy retreats, the less worries they have.

He wanted to see how long the enemy could retreat.

If the enemy can continue to retreat after they enter Shangqing Road, he will admire the enemy.

"Unfortunately, they met you!"

Jia Yao smiled sweetly, "Okay, you guys take a rest first! I'll call you when we're ready to attack! I've already prepared the fodder for your war horses in advance, you just take a rest, and my people will help you feed the horses."

"it is good!"

Yun Zheng and Miao Yin agreed.

They have been running since last night and really need a good rest.

Only after a good rest can we prepare for the next battle!
