Looking at his fiefdom, which was covered in thousands of miles of ice and snow...

Chapter 101 The Fish Has Taken the Bait

"Um?"

Kulenbu was stunned. He stared at Kunertai and questioned, "Kunertai, what do you mean? Do you have any objections?"

"Commander-in-Chief,"

Kunertai frowned and said, "Last year, I followed Commander Nahatai and led an army of 10,000 to attack Dongning City."

Although we only had three thousand elite cavalry at the time, Dongning City only had a few hundred old, weak and disabled soldiers.

At that time, it was Prince Xin who organized the people of the city and used the thunderbolts to defend Dongning City.

There weren't many people in Dongning City at that time.

If they could hold Dongning City back then, how much more so now?

Indeed, the main force of the army in Dongning City has all gone out, but there are still tens of thousands of people in the city.

When these people organize themselves, they are still a force to be reckoned with!

Moreover, Dongning City also has thunderclaps, cannons, and newly built tall city walls!

With such a fortified city and powerful cannons, how could we possibly take Dongning City by surprise attack alone?

If we remain outside Dongning City for two or three days and wait for the Dongning army to return to reinforce us, we will be trapped outside Dongning City.

"At that time, I'm afraid we'll suffer another defeat!"

Kuntai's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Kulunbu's head.

Kulenbu snapped out of his reverie and pondered Kuntai's words carefully.

yes!

The Dongning army today is not the same as the Dongning army of the past!

The city of Dongning has now become extremely fortified!

With such a city as Dongning, and tens of thousands of people working together in unity, it was no easy task to take it over in a short period of time!

If the stalemate continues until the Dongning army returns to reinforce and surround the enemy, it will probably end in defeat, just as Kuntai said!

This startled even Hajiron awake.

"I didn't think this through before!"

Hajilang sighed helplessly and said, "Thinking about it carefully, Dongning City is indeed difficult to attack."

However, it's not like we have no solution!

Now, the Dongning army has gone out of the city to suppress the bandits, hasn't it?

Once we enter the mountains and forests, that's our domain!

Could they possibly defeat our elite cavalry in the mountains?

Since we can't take Dongning City, let's go into the mountains and wipe out this Dongning army!

"right!"

Kulunbu suddenly realized, "If we can't take Dongning City, can't we at least take down the isolated Dongning army?"

That's settled!

Kuntai, do you have any other questions?

"ah?"

Kuntai was stunned for a moment, then opened his mouth and murmured, "It's gone too..."

He had a bad feeling about him, but he couldn't explain why.

Upon closer reflection, it is indeed as Hajirong said.

The mountains and forests are the domain of elite cavalry!

Moreover, they have 10,000 elite cavalry. Even if they encounter a problem and can't win, they can still escape!

Thinking it over, Kuntai didn't say anything more.

Immediately, Kulunbu said, "Pass down the word: closely monitor the movements of the Shenyi Battalion, Shenyou Battalion, and Shence Battalion of the Dongning Army."

He ordered the elite cavalry in Xiande Prefecture to leave secretly!

This time, we must catch them off guard!

"yes!"

Hajilang immediately responded.

At this moment, Hajilang was filled with fighting spirit, as if he could see the scene of annihilating the Dongning army and avenging his family!

Kuntai let out a long breath but did not speak.

Preparations began inside Xiande Mansion.

Before dawn the next day, a large army left Xiande Prefecture and entered the mountains and forests.

All of this was done quietly, and they deliberately concealed their whereabouts wherever they went.

Along the way, Kulunbu, Hajilang, Kuntai and others gave him many instructions and reminders.

...

However, no matter how careful they were, how could they escape the detection of the Prince's Palace Guard?

Before long, news of the large bandit army from the grasslands of Xiande Prefecture had reached Shuangcheng Prefecture.

Twin Cities, Garrison Headquarters.

An officer strode in, handed the note to Wei Jun, and then turned and left.

Wei Jun opened the note, and as he read its contents, his cold expression softened slightly.

"Wei Jun, how are you?"

A voice came from behind him, and Wei Jun quickly clasped his hands in greeting, replying, "Your Highness, just as we expected, the grassland bandits in Xiande Prefecture have been mobilized."

That's right!

Sitting inside the room was Li Xin, who had just arrived from Dongning Prefecture.

This time, however, the fact that all the main forces of Dongning City were brought out of the city to suppress the bandits was not a true bandit suppression.

The purpose was to use the Shenyi Battalion, Shenyou Battalion, and Shence Battalion as bait to lure the grassland bandits of Xiande Prefecture out of the city.

Li Xin and his men had already laid a trap, just waiting for the grassland bandits to fall into their trap!

Lure the snake out of its hole!

Set up an ambush at a fixed location!

This was also Li Xin's plan!

Now, upon hearing the news that the grassland bandits and cavalry of Xiande Prefecture had been mobilized, a bright smile appeared on Li Xin's face.

"The fish is about to take the bait."

Li Xin said with a smile, "If you're going to put on an act, you should go all the way."

We can't mess this up; we need to use plenty of bait and make sure the fish don't get away!

"Your Highness, rest assured!"

Wei Jun nodded and said, "Zhao Chun, Li Qiu, and Zhong Xia have all been properly taken care of in the mountains."

They are proceeding step by step without any mistakes.

Our Shuangcheng Prefecture side is also completely undefended; the city walls are still under construction, and the soldiers are still training.
