Chapter 208 She is here!
After Feng Liuli at the top finished speaking, her eyes swept across the faces of the people below one by one.
She calmly observed the panic on everyone's faces until the discussion gradually died down. Then Feng Liuli smiled coldly and said,
"I say this to encourage you generals to come up with strategies, not to encourage others to become more ambitious and destroy the prestige of our Great Liang!"
Her voice was deep and powerful, as if carrying some kind of invisible pressure, and it echoed throughout the entire military camp.
This made those who were just discussing feel nervous. Knowing that the Queen must be angry at this moment, they were all frightened and silent.
Feng Liuli cursed inwardly: Waste! Then, suppressing her anger, she continued:
"There's no need to panic. If we win this battle, I'll personally celebrate with you all at a banquet in the palace. If we lose, I'll be with you all, even if we die together, what good does it matter?"
Hearing the Queen's words, no matter what the people below thought in their hearts, they had to bow and compliment her:
"Your Majesty is wise! We, your subjects, are ashamed!"
After briefly comforting the ministers who were obviously frightened by the Qi army, Feng Liuli suggested that they should launch a surprise attack tonight under the cover of darkness before Commander Mu Lingshuang's army arrived.
When these words were spoken, some among the ministers agreed and some disagreed, but no one noticed that a man standing in the ranks of military generals lowered his head silently, hiding the gleam in his eyes.
This man was Liu Changlin, the eldest son of the censor, who was sent to the military camp by his old father for training. However, he always wanted to use his own efforts to make Princess Rong'an see that he had repented.
Ever since he won the championship in the martial arts examination held in the capital of Liang State half a year ago, he has won the favor of the empress with his honest appearance and loyal looks.
Not only was he appointed as a fourth-rank cavalry guerrilla general on the spot, the empress also issued a special decree allowing him to recruit and train new soldiers.
Liu Changlin, who looked honest and simple, was submissive on the surface, but in fact he turned around and passed the news back to the capital.
then……
The helpful Mu Lingshuang immediately sent a group of battle-hardened "recruits" to the newly appointed cavalry guerrilla general.
Of course, in order not to attract attention, these recruits all went through the normal process.
However, in the end, Liu Changlin still symbolically accepted some native soldiers from Liang State.
In this way, firstly, these outsiders can integrate into the army as quickly as possible, and secondly, when they join the main army, or when their superiors come to inspect, the real ones will be there, and these counterfeits will not be easily exposed.
Under Mu Lingshuang's manipulation, this brave guerrilla general, who used the pseudonym Lin Chang, led 8,000 carefully trained Qi troops and 2,000 real Liang soldiers, patiently lurking in Liang waiting for Princess Rong'an's orders.
However, during this period, he was ordered to try his best to send back more useful information so that he could be rewarded according to his merits after returning, and he could also impress his old father with his strength.
Therefore, after learning that the Queen had plans to launch an early night attack, Liu Changlin, who had just left the conference room, simply wrote down the main idea of the meeting, rolled it into a small piece of paper, tied it to the leg of a pigeon, and released it.
On the other side, after receiving the message from Liu Changlin, Mu Lingshuang immediately ordered the 200,000 vanguard troops to be divided into two teams, one team led by Qin Yue, to continue advancing along the original route.
She herself led another team, changed the marching route, took a shortcut, and rushed to Yuncheng as quickly as possible.
Seeing that it was getting dark and they were still dozens of miles away from Yuncheng, in order to prevent that madman Feng Liuli from attacking the city prematurely, Mu Lingshuang simply took 8,000 cavalrymen and set off first. The rest of the people also sped up their march after a brief rest.
……
In Mengze City, in the commander’s tent of the military camp.
After a brief discussion, most of the soldiers were eager to launch a night attack on Yuncheng where Princess Rong'an was not in charge.
In their view, although the soldiers of Qi State have always fought bravely, what they fear most is Princess Rong'an, who habitually turns on the invincible and violent mode when fighting.
All countries that have fought against Qi in recent years have felt deeply about this.
What made them resentful the most was that Mu Lingshuang was obviously a princess from a wealthy family, so why didn't she stay in her own comfortable home and enjoy her life, but had to learn from men to fight and kill? The key point was that a group of grown men tied together were not enough for her to hit with a few hammers.
Not to mention that under her leadership, each member of the Qi army seemed fearless. When they rushed forward, there was even a glimmer of excitement in their eyes.
It seems that life and death are nothing to be afraid of!
Not to mention the low-level soldiers, even the generals and commanders didn’t know why they were so excited. After all, people would die in war!
The death of ordinary soldiers is merely a stepping stone for the advancement of those above them...
But they also knew that it was this excitement, this reckless madness, that frightened the enemy even more.
After all, fear of death is human instinct...
If a person is not afraid of death, he is a hero, but what if a group of people, ten thousand people, or more are not afraid of death?
They are a group of ferocious beasts that have been restrained by humans. Once they show their fangs and claws, only death awaits the enemy!
Fortunately, Princess Rong'an hasn't arrived in Yuncheng yet...
Moreover, according to reports from spies, there are only about 30,000 troops defending Yuncheng.
Their queen personally led the army, and although she came in a hurry, Mengze City had gathered 120,000 elite soldiers at this time.
Even if they left 20,000 elite soldiers to defend Mengze, they would still have three times as many troops as the enemy in the night attack on Yuncheng. In addition, the night attack was a surprise attack, so they had a good chance of winning this battle.
Yuncheng is the northern gateway of the Great Qi. As long as Yuncheng is captured, the Liang army can march straight in. This achievement is indeed not small!
There are countless people who have this idea. Even Mei Xinyan, who was appointed as the Grand Marshal of the Southern Expedition by Feng Liuli, also wanted his son to take this opportunity to make achievements and establish prestige in the army.
So when Feng Liuli asked who could be capable of the important task of the night attack, Mei Xinyan recommended his son Mei Xiwang to the empress without hesitation.
However, Mei Xinyan, who knew his son's ambition and talent well, sent two trusted veteran generals to follow him in order to ensure the battle would be foolproof. He also told his son to listen to the advice of Generals Jia Zhengjing and Hui Shoutao before ordering him to lead 100,000 elite troops to attack Yuncheng at night.
Mei Xiwang and the other two generals who were sent out by Mei Xinyan still had beautiful thoughts at the moment. They could not defeat the Qi army led by General Mu (Mu Lingshuang), so now that General Mu is not here, isn't it the time for them to make achievements?
Not to mention that they will have another 500,000 troops arriving in Mengze City and returning to the Queen's command.
I think even if we can't directly attack the capital of Da Qi, the situation will definitely be very good.
By then, no one can take away the credit that belongs to them.
Just as the group was imagining a bright future, night gradually fell and everything became silent.
Mei Xiwang led 100,000 elite troops and continued to quietly approach Yuncheng.
They advanced quietly, trying to keep their voices as low as possible. Although this slowed down their marching speed, fortunately they did not attract the attention of the Yuncheng defenders.
Gradually, the outline of Yuncheng became clear in the distance. Messi was excited and waved the whip in his hand and couldn't help speeding up.
The night wind whistled past...
Looking at Yuncheng, which remained silent and seemed completely unaware of the impending danger, Messi's eyes flashed with ecstasy. As long as he could capture Yuncheng tonight...
However, just as he was about to order an attack, a thin and casual-looking figure suddenly appeared on the city wall.
In the dim moonlight, Messi vaguely caught a glimpse of the figure's face and was startled. This... this seemed to be General Mu... Mu...
