Nagato has such a slim waist

Chapter 595 Finale ()

This battle lasted from sunrise to sunset.

Each side had equal military strength and were composed of elite soldiers. They seemed eager to release the resentment accumulated during the truce and friction.

Morale was high and the fighting was fierce.

The air was filled with a thick murderous aura, and the sky seemed to be dyed with a bloody afterglow...

The sun sets in the west...

It's getting dark.

But both sides seemed to have no intention of stopping the fighting or redeploying. With the sound of war drums, the entire Suoyaoling battlefield seemed to have turned into a purgatory on earth.

"Your Majesty, the enemy's attack has become more intense."

"Your Majesty, Pei Jue is still sending more troops!"

The scout's hoarse voice came over like a broken gong.

Xiao Cheng gathered his cloak slightly and walked to the edge of the cliff.

He stood on the mountainside and the wind was very strong.

The sound of horse hooves can be heard clearly in the wind.

The sound of the charge horn of the marching team was piercing...

He asked, “About how many people?”

The scout said: "They are densely packed, at least a hundred thousand..."

Xiao Cheng looked down from a high place.

Banner hunting.

The battle is in full swing.

The light in his eyes grew brighter.

"But Pei Cong is leading the troops personally?"

The scout said, “Yes.”

Xiao Cheng felt relieved, and some color returned to his pale face.

"it is good."

Over the years, he has read many military books.

What we need to study more diligently than the art of governing a country is the art of employing troops.

Defeating Pei Jue's undefeated record of "military god-like" has been his obsession for a long time.

Sooner or later, he and Pei Cong will have a battle.

This battle was not fought by Xie Congguang or any other general of the Qi army.

It has to be him.

He prepared for this for thirteen years.

Thirteen whole years.

From training soldiers, training elite soldiers, improving combat effectiveness, to this personal expedition, in his thirteen-year career as an emperor, what he calculated the most was...

What are the chances of winning a battle with Pei Cong?

From nothing to one, 30%, 40%, and now it is 50-50.

Win or lose half.

The rest is up to fate.

If he wins, the history of Qi will be rewritten, and the words "weak and poor" will be completely erased. For thousands of years to come, his legacy will be recorded in bold strokes.

Lost...

No shame either.

He has the next decade.

Calmness and composure are essential qualities for a good emperor.

Thirteen years after ascending the throne, Xiao Cheng thought that he...

He was a good emperor.

But the factors that determine victory or defeat on the battlefield do not include being a "good emperor"...

It depends on who can act decisively and seize the opportunity.

Xiao Cheng looked at the Qi army soldiers who were rushing forward like a tide under the command of Xie Congguang, and slowly held the long sword at his waist.

A clang!
Pull out and lift up.

"The Black Armor, the Vermillion Bird, the White Tiger, and the Gray Wolf, the above four armies will follow me to launch a surprise attack on the Yong army camp."
-
The sound of killing was deafening at the foot of the mountain.

In the silent serpentine canyon of Suoyao Ridge, everything was quiet except for the fluttering of jackdaws' wings and the whistling sound of the wind.

Feng Yun had never felt that time passed so slowly...

She sat in the tent in the barracks for a long time without moving.

She placed her fingertips close to the fire, and even though it was burning brightly, she still felt cold.

"My lady." Xiaoman came forward softly and pressed the blanket on her knees. "You didn't sleep well last night. Do you want to sleep for a while?"

Feng Yun shook her head, "What time is it?"

Xiaoman walked out and took a look at the hourglass.

"Around the twilight hour..."

Feng Yun couldn't sit still anymore.

She threw back the blanket and stood up.

"I gonna go see."

Xiaoman was shocked, "My queen, His Majesty said that you are not allowed to leave the camp."

Feng Yun snorted and laughed, with a calm smile on his lips.

"I'll just go to the sentry post and take a look. I won't leave the camp. There are so many soldiers guarding the camp, who can eat me?"

Xiaoman didn't say anything and followed obediently.

Pei Cong personally led his troops to attack the Qi army at Suoyaoling. At the same time, he sent a team to Bingzhou to cooperate with Chunyu Yan.

However, the defense of the Dayong army camp was not as weak as Xiao Cheng thought.

The entire Nanyong Army was dispatched, and a large number of troops had already been ambushed in the serpentine valley of Suoyao Ridge...

The formation is ready, just waiting for Xiao Cheng to get in...
-
The sentry post to the north of the main camp is the highest point in the camp.

Standing here, Feng Yun can clearly see the "snake-shaped canyon"...

The night is dark and looking into the distance, the ridge is quiet.

There was no movement. "My Lady."

The one who spoke was the general guarding the camp, Shentu Jiong.

Ever since Feng Yun walked out of the barracks, he has been following closely beside him. He is a burly man, holding a sword at his waist, like a door god, making people feel safe.

He walked closer to Feng Yun and followed her to look at Suoyao Ridge.

"Why is your Majesty so sure that the Emperor of Qi will pass through the serpentine gorge and launch an air raid on our military camp?"

Feng Yun looked at the quietly undulating mountains and raised her lips slightly.

"Because Xiao San is suspicious."

Xiaoman described the marching strategy of the Dayong Army so perfectly.

Time, place, route of action...

This is not something a maid should understand and explain clearly.

And since it was relayed by Daman, how could Xiao San, with his suspicious personality, believe it?
For this reason, Feng Yun stood in Xiao San's perspective and conducted several "drills" on the deployment of troops on the map with Pei Cong.

Pei Cong likes to attack with force.

However, Xiao San doesn't like to confront each other head-on.

Then, he could take advantage of the situation to gain the greatest benefit - breaking through Suoyao Ridge and launching a surprise attack on the enemy camp. Why wouldn't he do it?
What's more -

For Xiao Cheng, Dan County is actually more important than Bingzhou.

Firstly, Bingzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it has natural protection.

Secondly, after Bingzhou, there is Hengqu Pass, which can buy him enough time to return to defend.

But Suoyaoling is different.

Once it is taken, the Qi army will have no problem advancing to Xinyi. By then, the only thing that Dayong can defend is the Huai River, and north of the Huai River is Dayong's new capital Andu, a large area of ​​fertile land. Regardless of winning or losing, if a war breaks out here, the Yong Dynasty will lose half the battle...

"Your Highness, what a good plan."

After hearing Feng Yun's analysis, Shentu Jiong scratched his head, smiled, and sighed.

"I wonder if the governor has arrived in Bingzhou now..."

The person Pei Cong sent to Bingzhou to cooperate with Chunyu Yan was Wen Xingsu. In order to capture Bingzhou in one fell swoop, he also handed over 120,000 Dongyong troops to him.

Feng Yun was not very worried about this.

"Xiao San's main force is at Suoyao Ridge. No matter how difficult it is to attack Bingzhou, with the Dongyong Army and Yunchuan's 100,000 troops, we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy..."

Shen Tujiong looked at her and grinned.

"Your Majesty has confidence in the Governor."

"Of course." Feng Yun smiled and said, "I predict that we will win this battle. Within half a month, the Qi army will be completely defeated. The best result is that our army will take Hengqu Pass and move south... At worst, we can drive them out of Dan County and Guyi, retreat back to Jiulong, and garrison Hengqu Pass..."

Shentu Jiong nodded, suddenly becoming solemn and cold.

"My Lady, here I come..."

Feng Yun frowned and stared at the mountain opposite intently.

The camp was quiet.

The bird calls from the mountains seemed particularly clear.

Xiao San is here.

He really fell into the trap.

Feng Yun's heartbeat quickened, and Xiao Man also became excited. He ran to the side of the boulder excitedly and watched with wide eyes...

The mountains were pitch black, and nothing could be seen...

"My lady." Xiaoman's eyes suddenly lit up, "Look quickly."

She pointed excitedly at the distant mountains opposite.

"It's on fire!"

The firelight was very conspicuous in the dark night and could be seen clearly even from a long distance.

"Ignite, ignite!"

The torch was the signal.

Soon, the whole mountain and field will be illuminated.

At that point, it’s time to close the bags and take prisoners.

Xiaoman wanted to jump up.

The smile on Feng Yun's lips froze as the flames rose.

"No." She turned her head suddenly and looked at Shen Tu Jiong.

Even if Xiao Cheng only sent a team of a few hundred people to cross the canyon, it would still take time to act. How could it be possible that someone would light a fire and send a signal to launch an attack just after discovering the target and before it was time to close the net?
"General Shentu, something happened."

Feng Yun's voice suddenly changed.

At the lookout post in the camp, she watched torches light up one after another.

"Someone has alerted the enemy!"
-
"kill!"

"Kill! Capture the dog emperor alive!"

A roar like a tsunami came from the ridge!

The chaotic clamor was mixed in with the sound of the wind. Feng Yun turned his head in disbelief and asked sternly:

"General Shentu, there's something wrong with your people! There's a traitor! This has completely disrupted my plan. Not only will we catch the turtle in the jar, but the Qi army will discover our ambush in advance. Maybe they will really attack our camp, and the consequences will be disastrous!"

"Don't be afraid, Your Majesty." Shen Tu Jiong held the scabbard with his hand and looked at her intently, "The Nanyong Army is strong enough to protect Your Majesty's safety."

Feng Yun's face looked very ugly.

"This is not only related to my safety, but also to the arrangements of the entire Great Yong Army. The overall situation is at stake, and one move will affect the entire body..."

The more she talked, the angrier she became.

"Send someone to investigate immediately, who did this?!"

"No need to check." Shentu Jiong suddenly signaled to his left and right, and before Xiaoman could react, he had already grabbed her hands behind her back, and then saluted Feng Yun.

"Your Majesty, I've offended you."

Xiaoman couldn't struggle free and couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Your Highness... General Shentu, what are you doing?"

Feng Yun didn't move.

Just watch Shentu Jiong calmly directing the people around him.

Slowly, with a sneer.

"So you are Xiao San's man."
