Chapter 696 Try Again



Wei Yixiao naturally didn't care about his daughter's attitude.

No matter what, his goal has been achieved. After all, she is his own daughter. How long can she last if he keeps getting angry at him?

Let’s leave aside Wei Yixiao and his good daughter.

In front of Zhang Wuji, King Yin Ye spoke first and said, "Your Majesty, the army has been assembled."

"Less than a hundred miles west of Longcheng is an excellent location with flat terrain."

"Less than a hundred miles west of the city?" Zhang Wuji thought to himself, "Damn, I remember now. A few years ago, I seemed to have fought a battle with Zhao Min in that place."

Not only Zhang Wuji remembered, but Zhou Zhiruo and Zhao Linger behind him also remembered.

However, when they thought of that battlefield, Zhou Zhiruo and Zhao Linger recalled countless scenes that they could not bear to recall.

After all, just a few years ago, Zhao Linger and Zhou Zhiruo both faced Zhao Min there.

And that time, Zhao Min spared their lives respectively.

Unexpectedly, after nearly a thousand years, I ended up back there again.

Facing the place for the decisive battle chosen by Yin Yewang and Wei Yixiao, Zhang Wuji thought for a moment and then said loudly: "Okay, this is the place."

"Back then, I fought with Zhao Min in the place you chose. Unfortunately, I was defeated, and it was a miserable defeat."

King Yin Ye was a little nervous, but Wei Yixiao on the side quickly said: "Your Majesty, within a radius of 100 miles, the place selected by General Yin and I is really the best place for a decisive battle."

Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "I know, I remember everything now. The location you chose has a steep slope from east to west, and that slope is the most suitable for cavalry combat. If the cavalry charges, they will have an absolute natural advantage."

"It was Zhao Min who occupied that place first, and then she used a small number of troops to resist my army that came to rescue Longcheng."

"And it was after that battle that Longcheng was taken away by Zhao Min, and it took several years to take it away. It was not until some time ago that I took it back again."

Without any unnecessary nonsense, after a few brief instructions, Zhang Wuji rode a tall horse and led the soldiers behind him to gallop all the way.

But while galloping on horseback, Zhao Linger asked Zhang Wuji, "Young Master, you always say a few words before every battle. Why didn't you say anything to boost morale this time?"

Zhang Wuji said: "There are some things that cannot be said all the time."

"Right now, the cavalry behind us has captured Dadu, and then fought against Zhu Yuanzhang in Dadu for a long time. They are real veterans."

"If it's just to boost morale, it won't have much effect on them anymore."

"What's more, Zhao Min's troops are still far away from here. It's a little early for me to say those passionate words to the soldiers."

"Those kinds of morale-boosting words are most effective right before a major war begins."

Zhao Linger understood Zhang Wuji's explanation. If the soldiers were told about family, country and the world every day, they would not be greatly moved in the long run.

A distance of less than a hundred miles is only half a day's journey for the cavalry.

Zhang Wuji and a few generals arrived here first, and the army behind them would arrive within half an hour.

Today is not the day for a decisive battle with Zhao Min.

Therefore, after Zhang Wuji surveyed the surrounding terrain with his eyes, he first selected a place to set up camp.

Then, he pointed in a direction and said to Wei Yixiao and Yin Yewang: "See? Set up camp there and let the soldiers eat and drink well. We will wait here for the decisive battle with Zhao Min."

Half an hour later, Zhang Wuji's tens of thousands of cavalrymen arrived here.

At this time, Zhang Wuji selected two thousand men from the soldiers who had just arrived here, and asked these two thousand men to bring a day's worth of dry food.

Yin Yewang and Wei Yixiao were a little puzzled.

Wei Yixiao quickly said: "Your Majesty, the spies have been sent out long ago. If there is any sign of trouble, someone will come to report it."

Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "I know, but before the decisive battle, I still want to see Zhao Min's strength with my own eyes."

"If we can seize the opportunity, we can take off hundreds of heads from Zhao Min's army, first destroy her ambition, and then boost our own prestige. Why not do it?"

"Generals, there is no need to think too much. You just stay here and I will be back tomorrow night at the latest."

Then Zhang Wuji rode away.

Zhao Linger and Zhou Zhiruo followed without a second thought, and Yang Buhui naturally followed after a moment of hesitation.

On the other hand, Wei Xiangjun was looking around at this moment, looking a little at a loss.

Seeing his daughter like this, Wei Yixiao said angrily: "My daughter, why are you still standing there? Go and follow His Majesty. You don't know any rules at all."

Wei Xiangjun first glared at his hateful father fiercely.

Then he didn't say anything and rode away.

A cavalry of two thousand men galloped all the way to meet Zhao Min on the path she had to take.

On horseback, Zhao Linger asked Zhang Wuji, "Master, are you really planning to launch a sneak attack on Zhao Min?"

Zhang Wuji said: "It would be good if we could launch a sneak attack, but more importantly, I want to see if I can get our child back from Zhao Min."

After hearing this, Zhao Linger was happy, but she didn't say much.

Instead, Zhou Zhiruo said, "Don't worry, I won't fail again this time."

"We have two thousand people this time, so we can definitely catch Zhao Min off guard."

"As long as it panics for a moment, we will definitely be able to get Xiao Yuxiao back."

Zhang Wuji said: "We only have this one chance before the war. When the time comes, I will be responsible for restraining Zhao Min, and you two will be responsible for snatching Xiao Yuxiao away."

Similarly, Yang Buhui, who had always been by Zhang Wuji's side, felt endless guilt in her heart.

She wanted to say something to Zhang Wuji, but she didn't know how to start.

On the other side, Zhao Min once again ordered to rest on the spot, and she also took a nap in the carriage for a while.

Zhao Min was not in a hurry to travel, but what she didn't know was that Zhang Wuji had already led two thousand cavalrymen and was galloping towards her at high speed.
