Chapter 478: Attack at Night

Song Qingyan shook her head: "Maybe it's a trap. Send the order down, return to the camp to rest, stay alert, and be ready to fight at any time!"

However, according to the two deputy generals' observations of the celestial phenomena at night, today is not the best time to attack, so it is just as well.

This time Song Qingyan guessed wrong.

Jin Jing suddenly retreated, not because he killed several spies, but because he was suddenly summoned by the emperor.

The emperor's message came very quickly, so even though the retreat would affect morale, he still ordered a withdrawal.

After ordering the army to rest in place, he rode towards the main city with a few personal soldiers.

Helian Hengxin is here.

From the capital, we came to the main city not far from where the army was camped.

Seeing Jin Jing, Helian Hengxin quickly walked up to him and stopped him from saluting: "General Jin, you have worked hard."

"General Jin is truly a blessing to our dynasty for having captured three cities in succession during this period of time. I feel very relieved to have you around." Helian Hengxin's tone was full of praise.

Although Jin Jing was proud, he did not forget his duty as a subject. He bowed to Helian Hengxin and said, "This is all the result of your Majesty's wise leadership."

Helian Hengxin was also very pleased with Jin Jing's humility. He smiled and lifted him up again: "I came here this time, first, I wanted to see you, and second, I came here to see the general that was newly sent by the Great Chu. I have fought with her before."

"Your Majesty has actually fought with her?" Jin Jing became interested when he mentioned that person. "She has actually been on the battlefield before?"

All he saw in the telescope just now was a figure, but it seemed that the woman was quite capable and she had removed all the spies he had planted so quickly.

Helian Hengxin told Jin Jing to sit down, and then continued to talk about Song Qingyan.

"She is the daughter of the old Marquis Dingguo, and she used to be a deputy general in the army."

"She is now the Imperial Consort of the Emperor of Great Chu. The Emperor of Great Chu does not have an empress, so she is now the person with the highest status in the harem."

As soon as Helian Hengxin finished these two sentences, he heard Jin Jing sneer: "So she is a woman from the harem."

"No wonder you were able to find all the spies I had so quickly. Normally, you only have to deal with small matters like this in the harem."

"I guess she was able to get a place in the army because of her father's official position. The Song family is not surprised that a woman would join the army."

Although Helian Hengxin had fought with Song Qingyan before, he didn't know much about her.

In his impression, he naturally felt that Song Qingyan was able to hold a position in the army only because of her father and brother's talents.

He and Jin Jingda had the same impression on this matter.

"I never thought that after all the efforts of the Great Chu State, they would choose such a person."

"Perhaps it is just to stabilize the army's morale. The Imperial Concubine's going to war is almost the same as the Emperor of Great Chu leading the army himself."

At this point, Helian Hengxin looked at Jin Jing again with admiration in his eyes: "You have worked really hard during this period. I believe that with your ability, you will be able to take down the Great Chu Kingdom in one fell swoop. By then, whether it is a fiefdom or an official position, I will satisfy you."

Indeed, it would be a lie to say that Helian Hengxin was not excited.

It seems that since the reign of my father, the Yuefeng Kingdom has never gained any benefits from the Great Chu Kingdom and has always been in a state of submission.

Now that Jin Jing has brought him such a big surprise, how can he not be excited?

When Jin Jing heard Helian Hengxin's words, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. No matter what the emperor's purpose was, no matter what the outcome was.

What Jin Jing had always sought was just a name.

He only hoped that he could achieve great success, ennoble his wife and children, and forever keep his father under his feet.

Thinking of this, Jin Jing stood up again: "I will do my best to fight against the Great Chu State."

After leaving the main city, Jin Jing rushed to the camp again.

Perhaps it was because they had won several games in a row, or perhaps the soldiers had relaxed because Jin Jing was no longer around, but when Jin Jing returned to the camp he saw a lifeless barracks.

He completely forgot about withdrawing his troops from the battlefield.

But Jin Jing didn't care. Could it be possible that the already incompetent Chu soldiers would become better just because of the arrival of a woman?

Another night of laughter and joy.

Song Qingyan was not idle that night.

After a few days of investigation, Song Qingyan discovered that Jin Jing was indeed a rare general. He used his familiarity with the terrain and knowledge of the surrounding mountains, rivers, and cleverly set up numerous defenses at the border.

To guard against any attack from the Chu State.

It is precisely because of these lines of defense that Jin Jing can sleep peacefully in his camp.

However, Song Qingyan has been studying military books with her father since she was a child, so she is not an idle person.

A few days ago, I asked Vice General Jiang and Vice General Zhao to observe the celestial phenomena at night. Today might be the best opportunity.

In a war, people may be important, but the right time and place are even more important.

If we can make good use of the surrounding terrain and weather conditions, we might be able to defeat ten enemies at once.

Now that Yuefeng has a large population, this is her strategy.

Finally, after a loud thunder, a smile appeared on Song Qingyan's face.

Tonight is the night.

Then, heavy rain came down.

The time has come.

Song Qingyan summoned the suicide squad that Shen Xiao had previously organized to her. Looking at the dozen or so energetic faces in front of her, Song Qingyan's face was full of anticipation.

"It all depends on you tonight!" Song Qingyan said only one sentence.

"We will definitely live up to the general's trust." After several people responded in a low voice, they, led by Shen Xiao, rushed to the Yuefeng Kingdom's defense line overnight.

Tonight, a few of them set out to investigate the situation in the enemy camp.

Shen Xiao had indeed selected a group of excellent death squad members. All of them were agile, brave and good at fighting. They quickly sneaked into the inner defense line of Yuefeng Kingdom without alerting anyone.

In just one hour, all the suicide squad members returned to their positions.

Looking at the person in front of her who was not hurt at all, Song Qingyan probably guessed that the enemy's defenses were probably lax tonight.

Several people reported their investigation results to Song Qingyan one by one so that she could arrange the next steps.

After Song Qingyan listened carefully to everyone's reports, she asked them to return to the camp to rest.

But Shen Xiao was left alone: ​​"Shen Xiao, you don't have to go tonight. We can't go out in a big way."

"Only half of the troops will be deployed tonight, and the rest will remain in the camp."

"General, you can't do that!" Shen Xiao was very surprised by Song Qingyan's decision. "The number of Yuefeng's army is now far greater than ours. Your Majesty, you can't take risks."

Song Qingyan smiled calmly: "If I wanted to fight him one-on-one, I wouldn't choose a night like this."

"On a night like this, we are well prepared, so we can fight one against ten."

His face was full of confidence.

Although Shen Xiao was worried, he did not refute the general's words. He thought that the general must have his own arrangements.
