Chapter 143 Battle Situation

Jun Zechen suddenly threw his head back and laughed, his heroic laughter echoing in the room.

All the generals looked at His Majesty in surprise. Why was His Majesty so happy?

"Commanders, we were just worried about the complex topography of Qingzhou and Yuzhou, which made it difficult to deploy troops."

Jun Zechen glanced at every general present with a sharp gaze, his voice loud and powerful.

"Look, the Queen has helped me and sent the Canglang map to our army. My Queen is in the rear, but her heart is with the front. Such deep affection and righteousness move me deeply!"

There was excitement in Jun Zechen's eyes, and his face was filled with pride and happiness.

"Having this map is like adding a pair of wise eyes to our army."

The generals, who were originally serious and frowning because they were going to attack Qingzhou Yuzhou, looked at each other in bewilderment when they heard that there was a detailed topographic map.

There was a flash of disbelief on his face, followed by uncontrollable excitement.

"Your Majesty is wise, and the Queen's move is a blessing for our army. We will surely be able to defeat the enemy with an unstoppable force and scare them to death!"

The generals shouted in unison, their voices filled with determination and fighting spirit.

Jun Zechen has lived with the soldiers for two months, but his emotions are not as calm as they were in the palace.

At this moment, he had a rough and generous smile on his face, which was unreserved, as if he had completely integrated with the generals and became one and the same.

He strode to the center of the lobby, where a model of the wolf landscape made of piled sand was placed.

However, this was drawn based on Jun Zechen's previous topographic map, so it looks a bit rough and simple.

Among them, the veteran general Wei Zheng stood up. He bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, Kiyosu stands among the mountains, surrounded by steep cliffs, and there is only one canyon passage for passage."

"Easy to defend but difficult to attack. I wonder if there are any shortcuts on this map, Madam?"

Wei Zheng's face was full of anticipation and eagerness.

Jun Zechen confidently handed the topographic map to Wei Zheng with an open-minded smile on his face, as if dispelling all the haze.

Several generals gathered around Wei Zheng and couldn't wait to open the topographic map.

It actually clearly marked the secret paths around the city and the exploitable terrain weaknesses.

The eyes of several generals lit up instantly, filled with hope and joy.

Su Jingxuan also set his gaze on the topographic map sent by his sister. His eyes were full of pride and his chest straightened unconsciously.

As expected of his sister, she is so smart.

Then he leaned over, his expression focused and serious.

He began to study the map carefully, his brows sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed.

Suddenly, as if he had discovered something crucial, Su Jingxuan pointed his index finger at a certain place on the map, his face full of surprise.

"Your Majesty, you see, although the valley here is steep, there is a path that goes around to the rear of the enemy."

There was excitement in Su Jingxuan's eyes.

"If we can launch a surprise attack from here, we will be able to disrupt the enemy's deployment."

Upon hearing this, Wei Zheng hurried forward and looked carefully at where Su Jingxuan was pointing.

Then he looked Su Jingxuan up and down with admiration. This son of Minister Su really had ideas and strategies.

I couldn't help but nod slightly, with an expression of approval on my face.

Jun Zechen also looked in the direction of Su Jingxuan's finger, and his eyes instantly became sharp.

After a while, Jun Zechen had an idea in his mind.

"Wei Zheng, send an elite team to carefully explore this path. If they can really bypass the Kiyosu Gate, you can lead 50,000 elite soldiers, travel light, and make a detour through this path."

Jun Zechen pointed at the map with his fingers as he spoke, his expression solemn.

"Ye Lan, take Su Jingxuan and lead the main force to launch a feint attack from the front to attract the enemy's attention."

Jun Zechen's eyes were fixed on the map, and his mind was constantly imagining the terrain of the battlefield.

He began to deploy his troops in an orderly manner, concentrating as if everything around him no longer existed.

The generals in the hall, Ye Lan and Wei Zheng, were both those who had followed His Majesty into battle when he was still the crown prince.

At this moment, they looked at Jun Zechen with firm eyes, full of trust in His Majesty's strategy.

This time, they followed His Majesty into battle again, and their hearts were filled with peace.

It seems that as long as Your Majesty is here, there is no battle that cannot be won.

For a moment, the morale of the soldiers reached its peak, and everyone was eager to go to the battlefield immediately.

Upon hearing His Majesty's order, Wei Zheng and Ye Lan immediately knelt on one knee and clasped their hands together.

They said respectfully: "Yes, I will obey your command and complete the task." Their voices were firm and powerful, full of determination.

Jun Zechen stays in the rear and usually does not go to the battlefield in person.

The soldiers present here also know that your Majesty's safety is of paramount importance, and they will never agree to your Majesty going to the battlefield in person.

Jun Zechen will probably only come in person when the army of the monarchy attacks the Canglang Imperial City. At that time, Your Majesty will only need to wait for the fruits of victory.

Another half month has passed quietly.

During this period, Wei Zheng, Ye Lan, Su Jingxuan and other generals were conducting intensive exploration and training.

In the camp where they were, tents were arranged in neat rows and military flags fluttered in the wind.

The sound of the soldiers' drills was so loud that the leaves on the surrounding trees trembled.

On the day of the action, night fell slowly like a huge black curtain, shrouding the entire earth in a mysterious darkness.

Wei Zheng, Ye Lan, Su Jingxuan and others led the soldiers and advanced silently towards Qingsu under the cover of night.

They all had solemn expressions and firm steps, and the weapons in their hands flashed cold light under the faint moonlight.

Jun Zechen arranged a night raid.

In the darkest hour before dawn, the main force began to act according to plan.

The soldiers approached the city gate quietly like ghosts. Their footsteps were deliberately suppressed and only their heavy breathing could be heard.

As the first rays of dawn broke through the sky, the main force suddenly launched a fierce attack.

For a moment, shouts of killing shook the sky and the drums of war roared.

The enemy was caught off guard by this sudden attack and had to rush to deal with the fierce frontal attack.

While the enemy's attention was drawn to the frontal attack, the special forces led by Wei Zheng had already circled behind the enemy like a ghost.

They moved quickly and swiftly, like cheetahs hunting in the night.

The sudden appearance of the Imperial Army threw the enemy into panic, and their previously strict defense line collapsed in an instant.

The soldiers shouted in terror and fled in all directions in chaos.

Borchu, the eldest prince of the Canglang Kingdom, looked at the breached city gate with a face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.

He gnashed his teeth and roared: "The king is really insidious and cunning!"

However, the king's army has already poured into the city like a tide, with great momentum.

Under the powerful attack of the Jun Kingdom's army, the Canglang Kingdom's army could only retreat step by step and was in a desperate situation.

Borchu gritted his teeth and ordered his soldiers to retreat.

After half a year, Jun Zechen led the Junguo army to recapture the nine cities of Qingzhou with great force, and now has arrived at the city of Yuzhou.

At this time, the royal family of Canglang Kingdom was like ants on a hot pot, running around in panic.

The king of Canglang State was a big, sturdy man, but at this moment he looked a little hunched.

The beard on his face was unkempt and his hair was braided into a messy style, and its neatness was gone.

The calmness and composure that a king should have were no longer on his face, and were replaced by endless anxiety and fear.

"Borchu, the army of the monarchy has now arrived at Yuzhou. If we can't stop them, we, the Canglang royal family, will be prisoners of the monarchy!"

The king pointed at Borchu with a trembling finger, his voice hoarse with anger and fear.

"If you were not so ambitious and wanted to invade the Kingdom, and even sent your sister Saihan to the Kingdom as a spy, how could the Kingdom attack us so forcefully?"

As the king spoke, he paced back and forth in the palace, his hands on his waist and veins bulging on his forehead.

Borchu's face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm. He clenched his fists so tightly that his joints turned white.

After more than a dozen battles with the emperor, Borchu finally understood what outflanking tactics meant, what it meant to lure the enemy into deep territory, and even various strategies of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, and attacking in pairs and at the same time.

Canglang valued military skills and did not pay attention to learning the culture of Junguo. However, Borchu went to Junguo several times and would look through Junguo's "Thirty-Six Strategies" every time.

But the book was obscure and difficult to understand, and Borchu only understood the general idea.

However, he once used the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain from one of the Thirty-Six Strategies to defeat the nomadic people to the east of the Canglang Kingdom.

He even used other strategies to win many battles.

He is Canglang's most strategic warrior.

But this time he faced off against Junguo, and he was unable to defend himself against Junguo's army's strategies every time.

Every time I think about it carefully after a battle, I feel that the king's deployment of troops is ingenious.

However, Borchu refused to admit defeat.

There was still a stubborn fire burning in his eyes.

One of the generals who participated in the battle with the monarch now had a look of fear and fatigue on his face.

He cried, "Lord, the emperor of our country is leading the army in person, and he has been making plans from behind. The morale of our soldiers is also high. If we continue to fight like this, our country will definitely lose."

Then he paused, raised his eyes and looked carefully at the eldest prince, and then quickly looked at the king.

Then he said: "I suggest that Canglang surrender and make peace with your country."

After saying this, he lowered his head, not daring to look at other people's faces.

Before the king could even open his mouth, the eldest prince jumped out impatiently like a lit firecracker.

"Father, if we surrender now, the monarch will not accept it. They may even take advantage of our low morale to launch an even more fierce attack. Father, you must think twice!"

The king paced back and forth in the hall with a frown on his face, his dilemma and helplessness written all over his face.

"My Lord, since you don't want to surrender, maybe you can think of a way to deal with the monarchy?"

The king stopped and stared at Borchu with a sharp gaze, his eyes full of doubt and anxiety.

Borhu lowered his eyes in thought, pursed his lips tightly, and his face was solemn.

After a moment, he raised his head and said, "Father, let's use an empty city plan in Yuzhou. Yiyuan City in Yuzhou is the first city that Junguo will attack. We will leave an empty city for Junguo's army, invite you into the jar, and finally catch the turtle in the jar."

In conclusion, there was a gleam of determination in his eyes, as if he pinned all his hopes on this strategy.

This is what Borchu learned from his several battles with the monarchy's army.

The king was stunned and confused.

But he still said sternly: "This is your last chance. If you can't defeat the king, the wolf will surrender."

Even if you become a vassal state of a monarch, you cannot become the monarch who destroys your country.

If you become the king of a fallen country, you will either die or be imprisoned.

He is the high and mighty king of Canglang, how can he accept such an insult?
