Such tactics put the prime minister in a state of confusion, unable to determine which news was true. In this way, Zhao Ji and Li Ling had more time to adjust their strategies to deal with the upcoming enemy forces.

At the same time, Zhao Ji and Li Ling also strengthened the defense of the palace, making it impossible for the prime minister to find a breakthrough through the interior of the palace. They strengthened the training of the guards and improved the morale of the soldiers, making the defense line of the palace more solid.

The prime minister did not give up, he began to plan a more clever strategy and sent some spies to try to sneak into the palace to obtain more useful intelligence.

This battle lasted for a while, with both sides competing secretly to see who could gain more advantages. However, during this process, the atmosphere in the palace became more and more tense, and people were waiting for the battle to break out.

At this time, an important piece of news reached the ears of the prime minister: Zhao Ji and Li Ling were planning a large-scale counterattack. They planned to launch a fatal attack on the prime minister's army on a dark and windy night one month later.

This news made the prime minister think deeply. He knew that he needed to make corresponding countermeasures, otherwise he would fall into a passive situation.

So he began to adjust his tactics and prepare to deal with Zhao Ji's counterattack plan. He sent a secret team to sneak into Zhao Ji and Li Ling's camp and try to find out their counterattack plan.

However, Zhao Ji and Li Ling were not fooled by his actions, and they deliberately released some false information to throw the prime minister's team into chaos.

A month passed quickly, and Zhao Ji's counterattack plan went as planned. On that dark night, his army surged towards the prime minister's position like a tide.

However, the prime minister was not intimidated by their momentum. He had already laid out a careful defense line, waiting for the arrival of Zhao Ji and Li Ling.

The battle lasted all night, with both sides fighting with all their might. Although Zhao Ji and Li Ling's armies were outnumbered, the prime minister's army had a tighter defense.

Just as the battle was about to begin, the prime minister personally led his army into a thrilling duel with Zhao Ji and Li Ling. The sound of their fighting shook the entire border town, making it unbearable for people to endure such a violent conflict.

However, at the climax of the duel, the prime minister suddenly discovered a fatal flaw: although the armies of Zhao Ji and Li Ling were numerous, their attacks lacked continuity, and they often left many gaps after the attack, and these gaps were opportunities that the prime minister could exploit.

Therefore, the prime minister began to change his tactics and began to use these gaps to counterattack. His army gradually gained the upper hand, and Zhao Ji and Li Ling's armies gradually fell into a passive position.

The duel lasted all night and ended at dawn. Although Zhao Ji and Li Ling's troops launched a final powerful offensive, the prime minister's army still held its ground and did not let them succeed easily.

The result of this battle was a huge loss for both sides, but in the end the Prime Minister's army succeeded in blocking the counterattack plan of Zhao Ji and Li Ling. Although they failed to seize control of the palace, they were not driven out of the border town.

The battle left both sides exhausted and they needed some time to recover their strength. The result of the battle also made people understand a truth: war is cruel and a painful experience for both the winner and the loser.

After the battle, the prime minister sat in his residence exhausted, his heart full of emotion. Although his army successfully resisted Zhao Ji's counterattack, he did not feel happy in his heart.

Zhao Ji and Li Ling did not leave immediately after the battle. Seeing that it was hopeless to attack the palace, they began to plan the next round of counterattack. They both knew that only by continuous attacks could they find a chance of victory in this tug-of-war.

The prime minister began to reorganize his army. He knew that if he wanted to win the war, he must have a more rigorous strategy and plan. So he began to study the map and think about how to achieve the final victory in this war.

At the same time, Zhao Ji and Li Ling were secretly planning their next counterattack. They sent out spies to gather intelligence, hoping to find the weakness of the prime minister's army.

The whole city was once again plunged into a tense atmosphere. People knew that the cruelty and difficulty of this war was not only a test of the body, but also a test of the soul. Whether they were winners or losers, they would experience endless pain and suffering in this war.

However, despite the cruelty and hardship of the war, those who participated in it gradually grew up in the constant fighting. Their minds became tougher in the war, and their abilities were also improved in the war.

As a result, the war began to become more and more intense. Every attack and counterattack made the armies of both sides more exhausted. But whether it was the prime minister or Zhao Ji and Li Ling, they all understood that this war must be persisted.

The prime minister began to develop a new tactic, he dispersed his troops to disperse the opponent's attack power. This tactic caught Zhao Ji and Li Ling's troops off guard and their offensive was hindered.

Zhao Ji and Li Ling did not show weakness. They also began to adjust their tactics and began to launch psychological warfare, trying to disintegrate the prime minister's army mentally. They sent out soldiers who were good at speaking and eloquent to spread their justice and determination to win. This tactic was successful to a certain extent, and many of the prime minister's soldiers began to waver.

However, the prime minister was not affected by this situation. He began to boost morale personally. He described the scene after the victory to the soldiers, saying: "When we win, we can end this war, and we can return to our hometown and our loved ones."

These words inspired the soldiers' fighting spirit, and they began to firmly implement the prime minister's tactics. The armies of Zhao Ji and Li Ling began to feel the pressure, and their offensive was gradually suppressed.

However, Zhao Ji and Li Ling did not give up. They began to develop a new tactic, and they let their troops start night raids. This tactic was successful to a certain extent, and they raided the prime minister's army many times at night.

However, the prime minister was not affected by the night attack. He began to work out a new strategy to deal with it. He asked his army to strengthen its vigilance at night. This strategy was successful to a certain extent, and they successfully resisted Zhao Ji's night attack.
