Chapter 1498 Yin Zhi's Hesitation
The State of Li.
While Jia Yao led his troops to prepare to ambush the enemy, Shen Kuan was not idle either.
Shen Kuan sent out troops from Longqing Prefecture several times, pretending to lure the enemy troops in the direction of Duyang to take the initiative to engage in battle. At the same time, he sent people to advance quietly in the direction of Shanghe, as if he wanted to launch a sneak attack from behind the enemy troops in the direction of Duyang.
However, Shen Kuan's several plans failed.
In the end, Shen Kuan was forced to withdraw all his troops back to Longqing Prefecture. He ordered his men to reinforce the city defenses while carrying stones and kerosene for defending the city onto the city walls.
It seems that Shen Kuan has decided to defend Longqing Prefecture to the death.
The enemy sent people to investigate the situation in Longqing Prefecture every day.
Most of Shen Kuan's actions were seen by the enemy's spies.
As the spies brought the news back to the Gaoqin army camp about forty miles away from Longqing Prefecture, the generals in the camp also became excited.
The enemy put all their energy into defending Longqing Mansion!
Shen Kuan only wanted to rely on the tall walls of Longqing Prefecture to launch defense and consume their military strength, but he did not realize that the importance of Black Turtle was far greater than that of Longqing Prefecture.
As long as they occupy Xuangui, the enemy forces in Longqing Prefecture will be completely isolated!
Longqing Prefecture has tall city walls, and they would not be foolish enough to attack Longqing Prefecture by force.
That would only waste their precious military forces.
They only needed to trap Shen Kuan, capture Xiongjin, prevent the enemy's reinforcements, and slowly consume Shen Kuan.
When the food in Longqing Prefecture is exhausted, the enemy troops in Longqing Prefecture will either have to wait for death or leave the city to engage in a decisive battle with them!
"General, let's quickly send troops to capture the black tortoise!"
"As long as we capture the black tortoise, we will be sure to win!"
"Let's send out troops before the enemy reacts!"
"How can we miss such a godsend opportunity?"
"yes……"
The time to launch a surprise attack on the Black Turtle has arrived.
All the generals under Yin Zhi's command made suggestions one after another.
If they don’t seize the black tortoise now, they will be wasting the opportunity given to them by God.
Listening to the generals' words, Yin Zhi was naturally moved.
However, Yin Zhi was still a little worried.
Alec suffered a series of defeats, not only losing his troops and generals, but even Alec fell into the hands of the enemy.
All signs indicate that Shen Kuan is by no means mediocre.
If Shen Kuan had anticipated that they would do this and set an ambush for them in advance, they would probably have suffered heavy losses.
In the previous battle with Wang Qi, they lost a lot of men.
Later, Alec suffered a series of defeats and they lost more than 20,000 troops in total.
Now, excluding those useless people from the Kingdom of Li, their military strength is actually a little insufficient.
If they lose more men and women, they will probably be defeated when the enemy reinforcements arrive!
Yin Zhi pondered silently for a while, raised his hand to stop the generals who were still speaking, and said in a deep voice: "Send spies across first to investigate and see if the enemy has an ambush. We will make a decision later! Okay, let's disperse!"
The generals wanted to persuade them again, but Yin Zhi's sharp eyes swept past them.
Upon seeing this, the generals quickly shut their mouths and quietly left the tent.
After dismissing all the generals, Yin Zhi fell into a struggle himself.
Although he was also worried about the risks, the temptation to occupy Black Turtle was too great for them.
The temptation was so great that even he wanted to ignore the possible dangers!
After thinking for a while, Yin Zhi ordered someone to call Hailanduo.
Ever since she got Helandra, she has always let Helandra accompany the army.
On the one hand, it’s because Hailanduo is very smart and can give him some advice.
On the other hand, it was naturally to enjoy Hai Lanruo's charming body at any time.
Soon, Hailanduo came to Yin Zhi's tent.
"Kings……"
As soon as Hailanduo came in, she called out in a tender voice and threw herself into Yin Zhi's arms.
Although Yin Zhi has not yet become king, Hailanduo has always called Yin Zhi "Your Majesty".
Yin Zhi also felt very comfortable with this title, and he accepted it calmly.
Yin Zhi embraced Hailanduo in his arms, and naturally touched Hailanduo all over, but he said business: "This general has a problem now, and I need you to help me think about it."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
Hailanduo had a charming look on her face, and the hot air she exhaled hit Yin Zhi, making Yin Zhi feel itchy.
Fortunately, Yin Zhi had not forgotten his business. He hugged Hailanduo's hot body and said, "At present, the main force of the enemy is concentrated in Longqing Prefecture..."
While stroking Hailanduo's delicate body, Yin Zhi told Hailanduo about his current dilemma.
After hearing Yin Zhi's words, Hailanduo burst into laughter. "Your Majesty is a great ruler of the world. How could you be troubled by such a small problem?"
"You think this is a small problem?" Yin Zhi frowned slightly and stopped moving his hands.
This is a major matter that concerns the entire war situation!
In her eyes, it's just a small problem?
Hailanduo keenly sensed Yin Zhi's displeasure, and quickly explained with a charming face: "For others, this is a big deal, but for the king, it's a small problem!"
"Tell me more specifically."
Yoon Shik’s expression softened slightly.
"Your Majesty is the one who will conquer the whole world!"
Hailanduo flattered him first, and then continued: "If the king does not capture the black tortoise, how can he seize Xiongjin? As long as Xiongjin is not lost, the enemy's reinforcements will come continuously! Even if the king captures Longqing Mansion, he still has to seize Xiongjin in the end to prevent the enemy from reinforcing!"
"That's true."
Yoon-sik nodded in agreement, "But what if the enemy is prepared?"
"Your Majesty, can't you just send more people to investigate?"
Hailanduo laughed sweetly, "Also, Your Majesty may not know that the reason why Daqian was able to defeat Li Kingdom last year was because of Yun Zheng! Without Yun Zheng, all the generals of Daqian would be useless!"
"Shen Kuan is also a waste?"
Yoon Shik narrowed his eyes.
If Shen Kuan is considered a waste, then what are Alec and his people?
Even worse than trash?
"Shen Kuan was just the commander of Yun Zheng's personal soldiers before, he was not considered a big shot!"
Hailanduo sneered, "Shen Kuan has only learned a few tricks from Yun Zheng, but Yun Zheng is the most terrifying person! Because of this, Your Majesty should occupy Xiongjin as soon as possible and never let Yun Zheng lead his troops to support us! Once Yun Zheng leads his troops to support us, the subsequent battles will be very difficult to fight..."
Yun Zheng?
This wasn't the first time Yoon-sik had heard the name.
He had heard this name countless times since they entered the Kingdom of Li.
When everyone mentioned Yun Zheng, they all said that this person was extremely terrifying.
Moreover, Yun Zheng also has the title of the world's number one general.
It is said that Yun Zheng has never been defeated since he took command of the army!
There are countless examples of victory of a smaller force over a larger one.
Although Yin Zhi did not think that he was afraid of Yun Zheng, the fact that so many people were afraid of Yun Zheng showed that Yun Zheng was indeed an extremely tough opponent.
It seems that we really need to occupy Xiongjin as soon as possible!
If Yun Zheng leads his troops to support us, there will probably be some trouble later!
Yin Zhi thought silently for a while, then picked up Hailanduo and walked towards the camp bed with big strides...
