Chapter 287 Attack
"what happened?"
Yu Tingwan led his men out of the forest, but found that there was no movement, as if there was no fight at all.
An San and An Si looked at the forest not far away, then turned to look at Yu Tingwan and said, "Princess, can An Si and I find out the situation first?"
Looking at the forest ahead that seemed to have no one at all, Yu Tingwan nodded slowly.
"Be careful. Come back immediately if anything goes wrong."
"Yes!"
An San and An Si took the order and went forward, while the rest of the people waited there.
Yu Tingwan looked at the forest. Judging from the current climate at the border, the trees in the forest should have withered and fallen off long ago, but she didn't expect that most of the leaves here were still green.
But it was also good this way. With this layer of natural protection, as long as Prince Rui didn't occupy the mountain, they would have a great chance of winning.
After a while, An San and An Si came back quickly from the distant woods, and seeing Yu Tingwan, they said respectfully:
"Princess, the forest is full of our people. The Crown Prince Song is also inside. On the other side of the mountain is the army led by Prince Rui. There seems to be no movement at the moment."
Hearing this, Yu Tingwan nodded, turned around and looked at the army behind him and said:
"After we get to the edge of the forest, one team will follow me, and the rest of you will stay here to rest and wait for instructions."
"Yes!"
Immediately, Yu Tingwan led his men to the edge of the woods and quickly led another team of people into the forest.
"Princess, why are you here?"
Song Shixu received news that one of his men saw someone leading a team over from behind, and thought that the situation over there was almost over.
Unexpectedly, the person who came was not Shen Chenli but Yu Tingwan!
Yu Tingwan raised an eyebrow and looked at him.
"Why? Are you disappointed to see that it's me?"
"How could that be? Is everything over with Princess Beidi?"
He didn't dare to agree to this, for he was afraid that he would be attacked by the prince and princess when he returned!
"Well, we have captured Hulufeng, and now we are waiting to negotiate with Beidi!"
Yu Tingwan briefly recounted what happened in Beidi. Song Shixu's eyes lit up but he also felt regretful.
"What a pity, I was not there at the time."
The Northern Di were badly defeated. It was a great regret in his life that he was not there at such a scene!
Just when he was about to ask Yu Tingwan to talk more, unfortunately, Yu Tingwan didn't want to talk so much nonsense with him, and went straight to the point:
"What's going on here?"
Hearing Yu Tingwan asking, Song Shixu quickly said:
"We rushed here two days ago and found that Prince Rui had not arrived yet. We followed the previous plan and occupied the mountain first. Then we sent people to place bombs and detonate them when Prince Rui arrived. Now they are stationed in the open space at the foot of the mountain and are sending people to investigate the mountain. They were captured by our people."
Hearing this, Yu Tingwan raised his eyebrows and looked down the mountain. Indeed, there were hundreds of thousands of troops stationed not far away.
"They were probably frightened by the bomb and didn't dare to move forward. If they just occupied the advantageous terrain and shot arrows downwards, Prince Rui would not choose to stay put."
At this point, Song Shixu was also glad in his heart. If it weren't for the incredibly powerful bomb that the princess had ordered, with the 30,000 troops he led, even if they occupied a favorable terrain, they would be in great danger under the attack of hundreds of thousands of troops.
"Princess, how many people did you bring with you?"
The enemy brought an army of 300,000, but they only had 30,000. It was like a drop in the ocean, and there was no way they could defeat them!
"I only brought 20,000, and someone needs to watch over Beidi."
Song Shixu frowned slightly when he heard this.
The prince has an army of 500,000 at his disposal, but unfortunately, the border is not small, as it borders Beidi, Xiyan and Dongqi.
The troops were dispersed from the very beginning. The main force was on the border with Northern Di, with only 300,000 troops. Now they have to guard the surrounding areas, and they dare not withdraw troops from other places.
Not only that, a part of the main force must be withdrawn to support the surrounding areas. It sounds like 500,000 people are a lot, but they are really not enough to face the encirclement of five countries!
Yu Tingwan felt helpless when she saw his sad face.
"We can't help it. The prince has gone to Xiyan now and won't be back for a while, so we can only rely on the two of us here."
Hearing her say this, Song Shixu looked at her and pointed at the people below.
"So Princess, what do we do now?"
Glancing at the people below, Yu Tingwan said nonchalantly: "Wait, there are so few of us, we are not even enough to fill their teeth!"
"What we have to do now is to delay them for as long as possible, so as to buy time for the prince to clean up other places first."
But they can't really do nothing.
Moreover, although the general is a bad one, the soldiers under him are all innocent civilians, so they would not fight to the death if they can.
An army of three hundred thousand, these people can be their help!
The soldiers, who had no idea that they were being targeted, were still patrolling the camp obediently, while Prince Rui in the main tent was looking at the map on the table with a headache.
"How is it? The people who went to investigate haven't come back yet?"
A general replied cautiously: "Your Majesty, not yet!"
"Your Majesty, what should we do now? How about we just charge in? There won't be many people hiding in this mountain, so what are we afraid of?"
Having said that, the general knew it in his heart.
What they were afraid of was not the people hiding inside, but what they created. That thing was so loud that a lot of people died in an instant. The soldiers were really scared.
Now their morale is not so high, which is not a good thing for them!
Another general also said: "Yes, just charge at them. No matter what weapons they have, they can't hit us if we go into the mountains, right?"
This makes a lot of sense.
Prince Rui narrowed his eyes and looked at the mountain in the distance, and decided to use the human wave tactic. He had so many people, someone would be able to climb up!
"Pass on my order, assemble and attack!"
He wanted to see how many people were hiding in such a small mountain!
Hearing the sounds coming from below, Yu Tingwan and Song Shixu stood up at the same time, and the soldiers observing from a distance also ran over quickly.
"Princess, Prince, Prince Rui's army has taken action!"
"How to do?"
Yu Tingwan looked at them organizing the army and had some guesses in his mind.
He turned to An San and An Si and said, "Take your teams and ambush at various places at the foot of the mountain. If you encounter any soldiers entering the mountain, kill them!"
"Yes!"
An San and An Si took the order and went forward.
Then, Yu Tingwan looked at Song Shixu again: "Let the archers and gunners get ready!"
"Yes, Princess!"
He then issued a series of orders, and seeing everyone moving quickly, Yu Tingwan lowered his eyes and looked downwards.
Prince Rui, you are not going to use human lives as a ladder, are you?
