"It's good that nothing's wrong," he said.
In the distance, Mo Qinyi exchanged information with Ma An and Ma Fu, and soon they had figured out the situation.
"Your Highness, there is a precipitous mountain ahead, with a cliff and miasma below. There is no other way to go." Mo Qin was extremely worried. If the enemy's purpose was to drive them to the cliff, then they would be in trouble.
In fact, nobody was stupid; they were deliberately driven to the cliff edge and then wiped out in one fell swoop.
The local militia are difficult to deal with. They can't be killed by assassination. If you want to starve them to death, they will eat anything. They are also very good at disguising themselves. They fight as a team and have almost no weaknesses.
The only way is to force them to the edge of a cliff. Even if we can't kill them, they'll starve to death!
Summer came again, and soon this problem arose. All the living creatures had been caught and eaten, leaving only wild vegetables and tree bark. But one couldn't eat that for a lifetime; without enough to eat and without strength, it was tantamount to death.
Moreover, the number of people surrounding them was increasing, and bows and arrows were set up, ready to kill at any moment.
After the group sat down to discuss the matter, Sun Yun counted the number of soldiers in the garrison. Some had died, but there were still more than forty left, which was already a lot.
He said, "Let's charge out and launch a feint attack from the front."
Attack? Uncle Fu wanted to laugh, but he held it in. However, he still reminded her of her overestimation of her abilities, "Miss Sun, we are surrounded. If we want to break through, we can only go down the cliff, but the cliff is steep and straight. Going down will mean certain death."
“Yes, young lady,” Ma Fu chimed in.
Sun Yun glanced at Prince Yong and saw that he was silent and seemed to disagree with Uncle Fu's words. His eyes flickered and he said sternly, "When there is no other way, we can only survive by attacking. Don't disturb the morale of the army here!"
Ma Fu, with the same expression as the girl who was trapped and bewildered, reminded her, "Girl, there are many others surrounding us, it's impossible to get through... Be realistic."
"I'm telling you, Ma Fu, if you spread rumors and disrupt the morale of the army again, I'll cripple you on the spot! Tell the soldiers that the enemy has been besieging us for days and must be exhausted. Cheer up and attack head-on!"
When Prince Yong saw Sun Yun suddenly launch an attack, he understood that it was to boost morale. He praised her, saying, "Miss Sun is right. The other side must be extremely tired. This is a good opportunity for us."
Having received approval, Sun Yun grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, but his face remained dark.
Mo Qin and Uncle Fu exchanged a glance. Since the prince had said so, what else could they do? They could only fight to the death.
In fact, if the cliff wasn't so high, they could have built a ladder to escape from it, but the cliff was too high for them to risk.
After several discussions and rejections of several plans, and after intense deliberation, it was finally decided that Mo Qin would lead more than thirty soldiers to the front, ready to fight to the death, while the rest would protect Prince Yong and Sun Yun.
Time waits for no one. After making the decision, they spent half an hour preparing before setting off. Before departing, Mo Qin said, "Brothers! General Wei said that war is about to break out, and the princess promised that we can join the regular army to make meritorious contributions. Do you all have the confidence to survive and make meritorious contributions, earning the honor of being ennobled and appointed as prime ministers for future generations to admire?"
The guards shouted in unison, "Yes!" Their imposing manner was overwhelming. Although there were only a few dozen of them, it was as if hundreds of people were shouting in unison. The men in black surrounding them looked at each other in bewilderment.
Mo Qin pressed his advantage, shouting, "Brothers! Let's charge forward and avenge our fallen brothers!"
"Charge out! Avenge our brothers!"
The passionate shouts echoed throughout the mountains and fields, touching the hearts of every soldier.
Once the time was right, Mo Qin said to Wang Tieniu, "Have the brothers take off all their hats to create the illusion that they are still alive. You lead your men to outflank them, create an opening, change into their clothes, and wrap red cloth around your sleeves for identification. We will work together from the inside and outside to wipe out the enemy in the small ravine. Be quick and stealthy, and make it a swift victory! We will attack together in half an hour!"
Wang Tieniu gave Mo Qin a strange look. "He can even think of something like this if he puts on enemy clothes. The boss is really something else. What can't he do?"
"Yes, sir!" Wang Tieniu had just turned to leave when Mo Qin called him back, "Come back here."
"What are your orders, boss?"
"Make sure you protect the enemy's arrows when you see them."
“Boss, if we break their weapons, our chances of winning will be much greater,” Wang Tieniu instinctively retorted.
"What do you know? We've already run out of arrows. What's the enemy's is ours."
Wang Tieniu gave Mo Qin another strange look before carrying out the order.
Mo Qin led the remaining soldiers and quietly left the spot, leaving behind his hat. From a distance, it looked as if there were really people there.
He led his men to slowly approach the enemy from the front, and after half an hour, he immediately shouted, "Charge!"
The soldiers rushed forward immediately. The enemy soldiers were all focused on the hats and didn't notice that someone was already in front of them. The soldiers at the front were frozen in place before they realized what was happening.
The men in black rushed forward in a swarm, and someone behind them shouted, "Enemy attack!"
In an instant, they were fighting from both sides, with no one paying attention to either end.
Prince Yong and Sun Yun were escorted as they rushed forward, just in time to see the men in black fighting with the palace guards.
"Give me the arrow!" said Prince Yong.
The guards handed the last arrow to Prince Yong. Prince Yong drew the bowstring and aimed the arrow at the black-clad man who was skilled in martial arts and was clearly the leader of the black-clad men, who was fighting with Mo Qin.
With a "thud," the leader of the men in black was struck in the thigh by an arrow. Mo Qin seized the opportunity to cut off his head, and was surprised at how accurate the prince's archery skills were.
"Even a prince would shoot an arrow in the back." Sun Yun was shocked by Prince Yong's action. In recent years, Prince Yong had always been a righteous person and did not seem like the kind of person who would do something like shooting an arrow in the back.
