Ye Qingcheng smiled and said, "What's so strange about knowing martial arts?"
"Hmph, you have no token, yet you know martial arts. This general is starting to doubt your motives," Wen Shifeng said irritably.
"The general's suspicions are not without reason, so I did not blame you. But now that the war is critical, I have only one question: would the general be willing to use my strategy?"
Wen Shifeng frowned slightly and pondered for a moment.
"Alright, follow me into the military tent!"
"General..."
"Alright, our soldiers are currently out of fighting strength. If the enemy comes, even if we hold out to the death, it will be of no use. Let's hear what she has to say!"
"This is…"
"Let's go! Follow me back to the camp."
Then.
Everyone then went to Wen Shifeng's military tent.
After entering, Ye Qingcheng first glanced at the sand table.
"Tell me! What's your brilliant plan?"
Ye Qingcheng smiled and said, "Just as I said before, send the soldiers out of the city to intercept them with bows and crossbows."
"Intercept them? They have an army of 100,000! How many can we intercept? It's pointless, isn't it?"
"No... it won't work. If you trust me, you only need to send out two thousand elite soldiers, divided into two groups, to attack them from both sides."
Once their pace slows down, we'll have enough time to make the scarecrow.
"scarecrow?"
“That’s right…”
"Hmm? What if the enemy troops continue to invade as before?"
"No, their attack this time was based on the assumption that our army is no longer capable of fighting. If they see that our soldiers are still mighty and powerful, they will definitely back down."
After listening, Wen Shifeng thought about it.
"Alright, I'll trust you this once."
After saying that.
He then began to give instructions.
Ye Qingcheng also informed the two thousand elite soldiers about the tactics for blocking the enemy's advance.
soon.
Two thousand elite soldiers rushed to a point five miles away without stopping, divided into twenty squads of one hundred men each, and set up ambushes along different sections of the road.
Five hundred men were stationed on the city wall.
The rest of them were used to make scarecrows.
soon.
And so, scarecrows dressed in armor were made.
Then Ye Qingcheng had two thousand elite soldiers mount their horses and lead the scarecrow three miles away, where they dispersed into four teams.
Like a vast army, they awaited the arrival of the enemy.
Immediately afterwards.
Ye Qingcheng then sent out a fake secret letter to mislead the enemy.
As expected, after the enemy intercepted the fake superstition, they saw that it said the soldiers were safe and sound and were ready to encircle and annihilate them.
The enemy was immediately worried, and then they saw that our soldiers were hiding in all directions, and they were ambushed by two thousand elite troops.
The enemy fell into the trap instantly, and the advancing troops immediately retreated twenty miles.
When General Wen heard the report from his scouts, he was immediately filled with admiration for Ye Qingcheng.
"I apologize for my previous rudeness, Your Highness."
"General, you are also concerned about the war; there is no need for this."
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness."
"Your Highness, although the enemy has retreated twenty miles, they have not left and may return."
“I know, so tonight you can send two groups of men to infiltrate the enemy’s main camp and burn their supplies. I will also get the soldiers back to fighting strength as soon as possible.”
"Burn their supplies?"
"That's right, and the number of people shouldn't be too many, just ten people on each side will suffice."
"Ten people? Your Highness, are you kidding me?"
"No, you pick out the ones with better martial arts skills for me, and I'll teach them how to infiltrate."
"Infiltration? Your Highness, you...you can do that too?"
"To be honest, General, although I have some knowledge of military strategy, I am used to fighting alone."
Individual combat?
this…
Upon hearing this, Wen Shifeng and his several deputy generals exchanged shocked glances.
Isn't this princess the daughter of Prime Minister Ye? How does she know all this? And how can she fight alone? What kind of battle tactic is this?
"Your Highness, this humble general, Dou Gan, may I ask Your Highness, what is meant by individual combat?"
Ye Qingcheng smiled and said, "It's about someone infiltrating the enemy camp and catching them off guard with a surprise attack."
Well…
How dangerous is that?
"Your Highness, are twenty people really enough?"
"Yes! That's enough. As long as they listen to me, they'll be able to complete the mission."
"Alright, then I'll make the arrangements right away."
"Alright, quickly arrange a tent for me too, I need to treat the soldiers as soon as possible."
"Yes, Your subordinate obeys."
After saying that.
Wen Shifeng quickly selected twenty skilled martial artists to stand before Ye Qingcheng.
Ye Qingcheng let them demonstrate their skills for a few moments, and was quite satisfied with their abilities.
Then he taught them how to infiltrate silently and also taught them some hand gestures for communication.
This scene shocked Wen Shifeng and the others even more.
Even Qingyi and Ningxin were shocked.
This...this princess seems to come from some kind of organization! She looks so much like those assassination organizations in the martial arts world.
No… it’s not that it’s similar, but rather that the princess’s methods seem to be even better than those of those organizations.
Moreover, her method of infiltration is completely unprecedented! With such a method, let alone burning the grain supplies, it probably wouldn't be difficult to even take the enemy's head, right?
Everyone in the military tent was stunned by the shock.
"So? Did you all understand?"
The twenty soldiers nodded: "We understand."
"Okay! That's good. Also, I just saw that your skills are not bad, but you still have shortcomings in one-on-one combat. I will teach you a set of boxing techniques that will help you to kill your opponent silently when you encounter them."
"What? Instant kill?"
These words shocked everyone once again.
"Um!"
Ye Qingcheng nodded to the twenty soldiers.
Then he looked at Wen Shifeng.
"General Wen, where is your training ground? Could you take me there?"
"Yes...yes...yes, please."
After recovering from his shock, Wen Shifeng stammered in response.
Then.
The group moved to the training ground.
Ye Qingcheng touched the ground with her toes, leaped up, and then landed steadily on the training ground.
this…
Upon seeing this, Wen Shifeng and the others were once again shocked.
Good heavens! This princess is actually a martial arts master. Just look at her lightness skill; you can tell she's incredibly skilled.
This is incredible! No wonder... no wonder the Seventh Prince would have felt comfortable letting her come to the military camp alone.
If we had attacked her back then, we probably wouldn't be alive today.
But isn't she just Ye Guoxiang's daughter? How does she know so much?
She's skilled in medicine, tactics, and martial arts—this princess is terrifying! She's no less capable than a man!
He is even much stronger than men, and might not be inferior to the Seventh Prince.
Wen Shifeng stared blankly at Ye Qingcheng as she stepped onto the training platform, his mind reeling with shock.
Meanwhile, on this side...
After Ye Qingcheng went on stage, she looked at the twenty soldiers.
"I'll demonstrate for you now, so watch carefully."
