Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 274

Silence fell outside. Yun Shang waited with a smile. After a while, she heard Qian Yin, who was bending over the tent, eavesdropping, "Your Highness, he left."

Yun Shang nodded and lowered her head. After a while, she said, "tell the officers with higher rank like the captain of the army to wait outside."

Qian Yin said yes, and then went outside. After a while, the voice of Wang Chong came from outside the camp. He said that he wanted to see Yun Shang. So Yun Shang let him in. Wang Chong arched his hands and said, "Supervisor, general Qi and the other four captains are not in the camp except because they were making a circuit of the city, and the others are all here."

"Really? Other four captains? Who are they? " Yun Shang said peacefully.

"There are two sons of the Qi family. And the other two captains, one is called Li Xian and the other is called Sun Zhong." Wang Chong said calmly, expressionless.

"Really? General Qi and the two sons of the Qi family are not in the camp right now. What a coincidence? Are those four people on duty today or not? " Yun Shang knew the result in her heart, but she still pretended to ask.

Wang Chong looked up at Yun Shang and answered, "I'm here to inform your highness that today, it was Qi Yufeng and Li Xian on duty, but I don't know why Qi Yulang and Sun Zhong are also not here. So, I requested to read the note and found that today they were assigned with an inspection tour of the city gate." Yun Shang smiled, stood up and walked out of the camp. "Let's go and have a look."

Dozens of captains and several generals in the camp were standing outside the camp. Some people looked up at Yun Shang curiously. Yun Shang smiled and looked at the people in front of her. After a while, she said, "today I summoned all the captains and generals here because of the battle a few days ago. To be honest, although I wasn't in the army that day, I had already made a detailed arrangement on the marching route and combat strategy. The army was divided into four groups: one hundred thousand people go to the wind Valley, fifty thousand people go to the Liuyun mountain, fifty thousand people go to the Spring Water to the frontline. The remaining one hundred thousand people stay in the camp as the backup. If they met any enemy or were discovered by any one of them, the soldiers in the camp would assist them in the back. If any one of the first three groups of soldiers failed to defeat the enemy, they would go straight to the enemy's camp, which would surprise the army of the state of Xia. Then they quickly retreat and withdraw their troops from the Wind Valley, sandwiching the enemy in front and back with the soldiers who were trying to stop the enemy in the Wind Valley."

The soldiers were fascinated by the princess' words. They had been a captain, but they were not allowed to get involved in the arrangements of the marching army. When they heard Yun Shang tell them about the arrangements, they were intrigued. Someone nodded when hearing Yun Shang's arrangement, as if he agreed with Yun Shang's arrangement.

"Because I was not in the army, general Qi took all his troops with him and insisted on obstructing the wind Valley, regardless of my orders. But the enemy was so cunning that he unexpectedly guessed general Qi's plan. They divided into troops and arranged about a hundred thousand people to attack from Liuyun mountain. They wanted to take advantage of the loss of guard in the camp to take us by surprise. If you listened to the plan of general Qi, I'm afraid the army of the state of Xia of the Liuyun mountain will not have any hindrance and directly attack our camp. At that time, all the soldiers would be outside the camp, and there are fewer soldiers in the camp. I'm afraid they will not be able to withstand the attack of the army of the state of Xia." Yun Shang raised her voice as she spoke.

"Fortunately, some of our generals are reasonable. General Qi forcibly asked all the people in the army to follow him to the Wind valley. At that time, someone put forward an objection, but since the objection was ineffective, they figured out other ways. They suggested that the soldiers should divide into three groups to block the enemies' sight, and then they gathered together in the Wind valley. That day when the army of the state of Xia attacked, they didn't arrange troops in accordance with general Qi's order. Instead, they tried to spread out four groups of army to defend."

Yun Shang gave a wee smile and fixed her eyes on everyone's curious face, then she continued, "sure enough, the right road army met Xia's army at Liuyun mountain, but there were a hundred thousand people of the other side. We only have five thousand people, and we have no good chances to win. So they gave a signal to the camp as a signal, asking general Wang, who stayed in the camp, to help us with others. On that day, there were also many people involved in the battle. We had a few people in the battle. They planned to annihilate the enemy troops of Liuyun mountain. General Liu and his men passed through the Spring Water and directly went to the enemy's camp. They burned the grains of the enemy and then quickly withdrew the army."

"What about the middle road army led by general Qi?" Yun Shang smiled coldly, "there are more than a hundred thousand people including the central army. In the Wind Valley, they met the army of the state of Xia led by the crown prince of the state of Xia and the military counsellor, Liu Yinfeng. After a fight, the army pretended to be defeated and retreated, luring general Qi's troops to the middle of the wind valley. Then with the advantage of the terrain of that place, they set an ambush array, waiting for general Q so they could catch him! General Qi totally forgot what I said before. If there was anything wrong, he would retreat to the mouth of the wind Valley immediately. Why did he need to withdraw to the entrance of the valley? The entrance was a small one, so if they wanted to go out, at most four people in a row could pass the gate at the same time. And they could even guard the entrance of the valley to ensure the safety from the enemy troops. When the enemy came here, they would kill each of them. However, general Qi went on his own and insisted on fighting with the ten men ambush array formed by the military officer Liu Yinfeng. After the death of so many soldiers in the army, general Qi realized that it was too late to withdraw the army.
