Your Majesty, the Emperor is playing your cards again!

Chapter 778 Only a Little Surprise

Gu Xingyuan and Xia Baozheng's main task was to help the princess recuperate, but since Rong Yan went to the battlefield, the princess suddenly became much more well-behaved and would no longer refuse their contact.

The nun could always stay by the princess' side.

When Gu Xingyuan and Xia Baozheng had time, they went to the front line.

Gu Xingyuan was an excellent doctor, so he was naturally responsible for treating the seriously injured soldiers. Xia Baozheng understood pharmacology and assisted him.

Once the two sides went to war, there was a constant stream of wounded soldiers, and the two were often so busy that they didn't even have time to eat.

The emperor also had no time to spare. Although he won several small battles in a row, he was unable to destroy the morale of the Western Qiang in one fell swoop, and the war remained stalemate.

Jun Feiliang and Rong Yan studied the battle plan all night.

After a long discussion, the two finally reached an agreement that they should capture the leader first.

As long as the eldest prince of Western Qiang is captured, the morale of Western Qiang will surely plummet. They will pursue the victory and will surely regain the lost territory in one fell swoop.

But the eldest prince of Xiqiang is not an ordinary person and cannot be captured easily.

The two of them developed a detailed plan specifically targeting the eldest prince of Xiqiang.

Using Rong Yan as bait, he first lost to the Western Qiang in a battle and fled into the mountains, luring the Western Qiang prince to pursue the victory.

After the eldest prince of Western Qiang entered the mountains, the emperor led his troops to encircle him and captured him in one fell swoop.

In order to make the eldest prince of Xiqiang let down his guard, Rong Yan deliberately allowed himself to be hit by an arrow. The arrow pierced his left chest and passed through, almost killing him.

Under the cover of several personal guards, he fled in a panic.

When the eldest prince of Xiqiang saw that he had shot Rong Yan, he laughed out loud with excitement. He took a team of personal guards and tried to take down Rong Yan's head in one go.

As long as Rong Yan was captured, the Zhenxi Army would become a mess, and the Western Qiang would be able to be invincible, break through the West Gate Pass, and enter the heart of Dayan in one fell swoop. As long as he entered the heart of Dayan and captured a few cities in Dayan, he could go back and give an explanation to his father, and the position of crown prince would be in his pocket.

The eldest prince of Xiqiang was eager to make a contribution, and he lost his caution in the face of victory and wanted to pursue the victory regardless of the consequences.

He chased for dozens of miles, but still almost caught up with Rong Yan.

Seeing Rong Yan entering the dangerous place.

The eldest prince of Xiqiang wanted to continue the pursuit, but his personal guards tried to dissuade him, saying that the natural barrier was easy to defend but difficult to attack, so he should be careful of traps.

The eldest prince of Xiqiang looked at Rong Yan, who was staggering on the horse's back with an arrow piercing his heart. How could he bear to give up like that?

He gritted his teeth and said, "That stinky boy Rong Yan was shot through the heart by my arrow. He will not be able to run far. Catching him is equivalent to defeating the morale of the entire Zhenxi Army. It is just a matter of time before we break through the West Gate!

Soldiers, follow me and chase after him. Whoever takes down Prince Rong's head will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold!"

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

Following an order from the Great Prince of Xiqiang, a team of personal guards behind him immediately rode forward, following His Highness in a mighty pursuit into the natural barrier.

The two personal guards who tried to dissuade him were powerless and could only suppress their uneasiness and follow in.

Unexpectedly, the group had only entered the natural barrier for a quarter of an hour when they were surrounded by arrows from all directions.

In an instant, screams rang out and wails echoed throughout the valley.

Jun Feiliang ambushed a group of people on all sides. In less than a quarter of an hour, they surrounded the Western Qiang Crown Prince and his entourage and captured the Western Qiang Crown Prince alive.

The entire plan was detailed and smooth, firmly grasping the weakness of the eldest prince of Xiqiang and truly luring him into a trap.

The only unexpected thing was that the arrow shot at Rong Yan deviated.
