Chapter 175 Confusion of right and wrong
"But..." Miao Nanyue frowned and wanted to continue to object, but was interrupted by Lin Zizhao.
"No buts. The people of Daxia have bullied us, so we should let them see how powerful our soldiers in Southern Xinjiang are. Don't think that our Southern Xinjiang soldiers are the same as those cowards in Beiyong and Xichang."
"That's right, that's right." Several other lieutenant generals echoed.
Most of the people in this tent are Lin Zizhao's men. Miao Nanyue is weak and cannot oppose his decision.
Miao Nanyue frowned, and began to feel uneasy.
Lin Zizhao directly ordered the soldiers to prepare for battle.
Their southern border has been easy to defend and difficult to attack since ancient times, and it has experienced many battles before. Many people have been unable to break in, so he dared to speak so arrogantly.
He wanted to boost the morale of southern Xinjiang.
After all, many people were frightened by the reputation of Daxia, as they had already annexed two countries in succession.
He wanted to win this first battle beautifully and let the soldiers in southern Xinjiang know that Daxia was not invincible.
…
Meng Shanchuan waited for a long time but received no response from the people of southern Xinjiang.
"This is different from what the emperor said." He paced back and forth in the tent.
"Could it be that Nanjiang has changed its mind?"
The more Meng Shanchuan thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible.
The Emperor of Southern Xinjiang and their emperor agreed to start a fake war, which was actually a trick to deceive them and make them let down their guard.
Meng Shanchuan immediately became cautious.
He opened his mouth and ordered his subordinates: "Go, shout again, let them know that the 'Ninth Princess' is here!"
"yes."
The subordinates received the order and ran to the southern border again, shouting collectively: "The Ninth Princess of Daxia has arrived! Surrender quickly and I will spare your lives."
In order to make them hear clearly, the soldiers of Daxia repeated their calls several times.
Lin Zizhao was furious when he heard this.
These Daxia people are really too arrogant.
"If you want to fight, then fight. Don't just talk threats." He gave an order and led his soldiers to meet the enemy.
"The code is wrong." Meng Shanchuan was stunned, then slapped his thigh.
"Damn it, you bastard, you don't keep your word and you're just lying all day long!"
He was immediately annoyed and ordered people to bring out the catapult.
At this moment, people in southern Xinjiang still know nothing about it.
When they saw the Daxia people pushing out two catapults, they didn't take it seriously.
Lin Zizhao chuckled: "We have mountains here. What use can a small catapult have? Let's see if they..."
Before he could finish, he heard Daxia shouting, "The Ninth Princess is here!"
There was a loud "boom".
Lin Zizhao was hit by the aftermath of the bomb and was knocked off his horse, with his ears buzzing.
"What is it?" Everyone panicked.
Huo Qianqiu, who was in a coma, was also frightened.
He sat up in bed.
"What's that noise?"
Soon, Daxia's second bomb flew over.
"Boom."
"The Ninth Princess of Daxia has arrived!"
Each sound is louder than the last.
Huo Qianqiu finally reacted, damn it, the Ninth Princess of Daxia has arrived!!!
He had only slept for a short while when the soldiers from Daxia arrived.
Huo Qianqiu hurriedly climbed out of bed, and rode towards the battlefield in dishevel.
"General, your shoes, your shoes." The guard picked up his leather boots and chased after him, pinching his nose.
But Huo Qianqiu was in a hurry and couldn't wait any longer.
"Quickly retreat, quickly retreat!!!"
He yelled for everyone to evacuate.
But the bombs were still thrown one after another.
"General, why are you here?" Miao Nanyue saw Huo Qianqiu, whose clothes were torn and in a disheveled state, and hurried to greet him.
"Hurry, tell them, Princess Ninth, don't explode!" Huo Qianqiu urged painfully, holding his stomach.
Damn it, he can't hold it anymore.
Miao Nanyue hurriedly passed on his words, and the surviving soldiers hurriedly shouted: "Ninth Princess, don't blow it up! Ninth Princess, don't blow it up!"
Hearing this, Meng Shanchuan snorted.
The code finally matched.
Only after seeing how powerful the "Ninth Princess" was did they remember their plan. Bah, how shameless.
But he still raised his hand and signaled the catapult to stop.
The Daxia soldiers were very excited and didn't understand why they had to stop.
It was also the first time they saw the legendary "Ninth Princess".
It’s so powerful, so awesome, this is actually the weapon of their Great Xia.
They wanted to put their hands on their hips and laugh out loud.
When the “Ninth Princess” appears, who can compete with her?
The emperor is right. Whenever there is a battle, the Ninth Princess will appear. Once the Ninth Princess appears, she will win!!!
Someone couldn't help but suggest to Meng Shanchuan: "General, let's throw a few more 'Ninth Princesses' out. We don't have to worry about the people in Southern Xinjiang not surrendering."
"Okay, don't waste it. They will surrender soon. If they don't surrender, just throw more." Meng Shanchuan waved his hand, signaling them to stay calm.
The emperor only gave them ten "Nine Princesses" in total, and four have been used up now, so they have to use them sparingly.
Seeing Meng Shanchuan was so determined, the other advocates of war had no choice but to give up.
Seeing that Da Xia had finally stopped the bombing of "Ninth Princess", Huo Qianqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hurry, send the urgent military intelligence in my tent to the capital." After he gave instructions to Miao Nanyue, he immediately covered his stomach and crawled into a small bush nearby.
There was no way, he couldn't hold it in any longer.
Miao Nanyue ran away quickly and returned to the tent. He looked at the urgent military intelligence with some confusion.
Didn't the general just arrive at the battlefield? How come this military intelligence has already been written?
But he did not dare to delay the important military affairs, so he quickly sent someone to send the letter back to the capital.
It was not until midnight that the number of casualties from the morning was counted in southern Xinjiang.
Because the soldiers were standing close together, and the "Nine Princesses" of Daxia struck accurately, more than a thousand of their soldiers died, 2,000 were seriously injured, and 5,000 were slightly injured, but Daxia was unscathed.
Huo Qianqiu was almost angry to death.
"I am the commander. Who allowed you to go into battle right away?" He kicked Lin Zizhao.
Lin Zizhao had half of his ear blown off and now he hangs his head and dares not speak.
He was scared, he was really scared.
He finally understood why Beiyong and Xichang surrendered.
Daxia has such terrifying weapons, no one can be their opponent.
Huo Qianqiu was furious, but the mistake had been made and the dead soldiers could not be resurrected.
He was terribly frightened.
If he tells the truth, the emperor will definitely let him pay with his life.
He could only grit his teeth and keep it secret.
He rewrote the second secret letter, in which he confused right and wrong, saying that Daxia had no martial ethics and bombed the "Nine Princesses" right away, and blew up four of them at once, causing many deaths.
When Long Wudi received the first letter, he pretended to be angry at first and threw the secret letter in the court to let the court officials know how powerful Daxia's secret weapon, the "Ninth Princess", was.
But when the second secret letter arrived, he could no longer sit still.
Didn’t you agree to act well? What happened to Daxia? Why did you go back on your word and directly hurt people?
