After night fell, the soldiers standing guard on the city wall yawned continuously, and some even squatted on the ground and fell asleep.
Suddenly two soldiers came up stealthily to take a look, and found that everyone was asleep, so they were completely relieved.
At dinner, they secretly added sleeping pills into the soup.
I originally wanted to add poison, but the strong poison takes effect too quickly and it can be easily exposed.
The chronic poison took too long to take effect, so I used sleeping pills, and the effect was very good.
So he walked down quickly and opened the gate of the border town.
The city gate was opened, and a general from the Ge Kingdom rushed in with his men.
He looked around first and found that the city was very quiet, which meant that the guarding soldiers were indeed drowsy from the medicine.
Then he picked up the torch and waved it a few times towards the gate.
Then there were bursts of horse hoof sounds, and the main general who led the attack rushed in on horseback with a large group of troops.
Everyone in the border town was waiting for Shi Qingluo to send a signal, hiding in the dark in the night.
Shi Qingluo was very patient and waited for the leader of State Ge to divide the army he brought into several groups. Some would go to burn food and grass, some would look for armaments and material depots, or some would go to the military base to start a massacre.
After all the generals and soldiers of the Ge State entered the city and separated, Shi Qingluo asked the soldiers who were pretending to be asleep to get up and close the gate to beat the dog.
She came here in advance to make arrangements, and naturally found out who the spy was.
The plan of giving sleeping pills was agreed upon by Ge State and the forces of the previous dynasty, so this time Shi Qingluo also brought the antidote prepared by the young prime minister.
The spy gave the soldiers a sleeping drug, and Shi Qingluo's men also gave them an antidote to neutralize it, so all the soldiers who were sleeping had been told to pretend to be asleep.
Then Shi Qingluo took out a firework signal and lit it. A beam of red light flew into the sky and exploded.
This beam of red light was very obvious at night. The general of Ge State was not stupid. He felt something was wrong the moment he saw it.
So he shouted, "Everyone be careful!"
Then weigh whether to continue or retreat.
But before he could be sure, arrows suddenly flew out from several tricky corners.
All the scattered troops of the Ge State were hit by a rain of arrows and suffered heavy losses.
The commander's face changed when he saw this. He didn't expect that there was an ambush on the Daliang side.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!" He drew his knife and was about to lead his men to rush towards the city gate.
The soldiers who were supposed to be "asleep" suddenly appeared in groups, catching the Ge soldiers, who were already in chaos, off guard.
Shi Qingluo did not put on armor and go into battle, but kept releasing fireworks signals.
Green, blue and yellow exploded in the air one after another.
Then teams of special Daliang soldiers appeared. In addition to those who shot arrows, there was also a team that specialized in hooking horses' legs.
The cavalry of the Ge State had not been able to maneuver very well in the small town, and now they were falling one after another.
As soon as they fell off their horses, they would be pinned to the ground and unable to move by teams of soldiers holding weapons that looked like large harpoons.
When the commander led the remaining troops to the gate, they suddenly threw huge rocks from the city wall, killing and injuring another wave of people.
After the stone throwing was over, there were only a few soldiers left from the Ge State who had come to attack the city.
Then the main general of Daliang led his elite troops to attack.
In less than an hour, the Ge State's army that attacked the city was annihilated.
And because Shi Qingluo was well prepared and knew how to seize opportunities, there were very few casualties on the Daliang side.
Xiao Yuanshi had someone push his wheelchair on the city wall to watch the battle end.
Shi Qingluo did not go down, but continued to give orders on the city wall.
This also surprised Xiao Yuanshi and the generals in the city.
Obviously, no one expected that Shi Qingluo actually had the ability to mobilize troops and fight.
Shi Qingluo smiled, "Yes, my husband has great talent and ability in military affairs."
"These layouts and strategies were all thought out by him and written for me."
She did follow her husband's strategic plan, but she managed the timing and order of operations herself.
Xiao Yuanshi felt even more upset. His capable son was cut off from his relationship just like that.
Sometimes he couldn't help but wonder if Ge Chunru had given him some kind of love potion, which made him so confused.
He praised honestly, "Although it was Zheng'er who gave us the strategy, your command was also very good. This is how we were able to annihilate the enemy at the lowest cost."
This is the truth. He watched Shi Qingluo's command and control of the time situation throughout the whole process. He has to say that even if he were in charge, he might not be able to do so well.
Shi Qingluo didn't expect that his scumbag father would praise him.
She smiled and took it proudly, "That's right, my husband is so powerful, I can't lose his face."
Xiao Yuanshi: “…” This daughter-in-law really doesn’t know what humility is.
The other generals also found that Princess Fubao was very straightforward, which made them feel very likable.
The commander guarding the border town said sincerely: "No matter what, today we are really grateful to Lord Xiao and the princess, otherwise our border town would be in danger."
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "In addition to us, it all depends on your cooperation and the brave fighting of the soldiers below."
"I will tell my husband about the previous battle, so that he can write a memorial to the capital and ask the emperor to reward me according to my merits."
The generals standing here have just participated in the battle and only came up after the battle was over.
Hearing her words, the smiles on everyone's faces deepened, "Thank you so much, Princess Fubao and Lord Xiao!"
Xiao Yuanshi discovered that this bad daughter-in-law was very good at winning people's hearts.
She is truly Xiao Hanzheng's good wife.
Then he couldn't help but think of himself, and was left with only sadness.
He wanted to say something to ease the relationship, but Shi Qingluo just said hello and left.
He also left the city with the people who came to support him and the elite troops in the city.
Sitting in a wheelchair, listening to the soldiers below cheering for victory, Xiao Yuanshi felt extremely lonely.
Suddenly he didn’t know what was the point of all those years of working so hard to climb up.
Naturally, the other generals also noticed Xiao Yuanshi's reaction.
However, no one came forward to comfort him, instead, they despised him for being blind.
For the sake of a woman who was not presentable, he actually broke off the relationship with such a capable son.
It's too late to regret now. It's all my own fault.
I have to say that King Yi is smart in this regard.
The situation was similar in another border town.
Under the leadership of Xiao Hanzheng, the sneak attack army of Ge State was annihilated with minimal damage.
He also personally put on armor and went into battle, beheading a powerful general of the Ge State who was born with supernatural powers and captured him.
This battle also earned Xiao Hanzheng the recognition of soldiers throughout the city.
The soldiers who followed him were even more impressed by him.
Several generals from Daliang were thinking about how to rescue, while Xiao Hanzheng was thinking about how to lure the enemy deep into their territory and annihilate them. It was impossible to disagree.
After annihilating the Ge State army, Xiao Hanzheng immediately led his troops out of the city.
