Chen Qingqing shook her head and smiled, "Lord Zhou, there's no need to panic. Even if they pass through the horse trap safely, they can't escape our Heavenly Thunder Formation. It will definitely blast them into a daze."
Zhou Jingyuan wholeheartedly believed Chen Qingqing's words. He had already witnessed the power of the iron lump. Where it exploded, nothing grew. Not to mention tens of thousands of troops, even hundreds of thousands of enemy troops would be blown to pieces.
“The princess is absolutely right. The mere horse trapping pit has already demoralized the enemy. To think they could pass through the Heavenly Thunder Formation is simply wishful thinking.”
Are the four countries joining forces simply to divide up the territory of Daming?
Chen Qingqing couldn't understand it. The Great Ning Dynasty had many relatively weak points, making it easier to attack than Anyang.
Their elaborate scheme, employing a feint to the east while attacking the west, and their choice to attack Anyang was clearly meticulously planned.
But what is there in Anyang that would make them risk attacking it?
For wealth?
Daning is rich in resources, so it's impossible to choose Anyang alone.
It's not for wealth; there's only one possibility: for people.
That person could very well be myself.
Chen Qingqing's eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty light, showing not a trace of fear.
How dare they plot against her? They're asking for trouble. Although Anyang's forces are insufficient, she has advanced technology at her disposal. If she wants to wipe out the enemy forces of the four countries, she can do it in no time.
Zhou Jingyuan, holding binoculars, looked ahead and saw that thousands of animals had already reached the horse trap...
This time, Xi Yuelei was smarter. He followed at a distance and did not rush forward. His eyes were fixed on Gao Lizhu, and a wicked smile appeared in his eyes.
Charge! Charge forward! Once you get past the horse trap, he'll have the final say on what happens next.
Riding his warhorse behind thousands of pigs and sheep, Gao Lizhu felt like a turtle trapped in a stove pit, both suffocating and furious.
They finally came up with a good plan to defeat the enemy, but that scoundrel Xi Yuelei took advantage of the opportunity.
If they were to capture Anyang, the Anyang Princess, who was capable of bringing peace and prosperity to the country, would surely fall into Xi Yuelei's hands.
What to do? Before setting off, he had assured the Emperor that he would bring Princess Anyang back unharmed.
But given the current situation, it seems a bit difficult.
If he can't win against Xi Yuelei, how will he explain it to his father?
No, we must find a way to get into Anyang City first.
But what good solutions are there now, unless Xi Yuelei suddenly suffers an accident and dies instantly?
Gao Lizhu narrowed her sinister eyes.
Once the horse-trapping pit is breached, it's fine if Xi Yuelei doesn't rush to be the vanguard; if he dares to bully the weak, I'll shoot him in the back and kill this treacherous villain.
Once Xi Yue Lei dies, the Xi Yue Kingdom's army will be thrown into chaos, and he will be able to take the opportunity to attack Anyang and capture Princess Anyang alive.
Upon closer reflection, it seemed somewhat inappropriate.
The Kingdom of Gao Luo is too weak. If others find out that he secretly took Princess An Yang away, the three kingdoms will surely unite to destroy Gao Luo...
He racked his brains all the way, dozens of ideas flashing through his mind, and finally he came up with a top-secret method that no one would discover: 'puppetry'.
If we just make an exact replica of Princess Anyang, everything will be fine.
Having made up his mind, Gao Lizhu was in high spirits. He shouted to the officers behind him, "Charge! Quickly lead the beasts forward!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the squeals of pigs and the bleating of sheep ahead. He knew that he had arrived at the location of the horse trap and hurriedly ordered his soldiers to drive the pigs and sheep forward quickly.
These livestock, which were usually so carefree, had never seen anything like this before, and they scattered in terror.
In an instant, chaos erupted as livestock running around fell into the horse traps.
The pigs and sheep that luckily escaped the fall were terrified and ran for their lives, eventually reaching an open space where they leisurely lowered their heads to graze...
Seeing this, Gao Lizhu burst into laughter, "Let's see how powerful your horse traps are, or how powerful my bunch of beasts are! All generals, listen to my command, follow me and charge into Anyang City!"
With that, he spurred his horse to charge forward.
Seeing that the pigs and sheep had already walked several hundred meters and were still lively and energetic, Xi Yuelei concluded that the danger had passed and hurriedly spurred his horse forward, calling out, "Brother Gao, wait a moment!"
Gao Lizhu quickly reined in his horse and looked back. He saw Xi Yuelei leading his soldiers to catch up from behind. His face darkened. It seemed that he had guessed correctly. Xi Yuelei was going to bully him again.
He scoffed inwardly. So what if he let him go first? Taking Princess Anyang away required brains.
“Brother Xiyue, the obstacles set up by the enemy have been removed. Let me lead the men into Anyang City and capture Princess Anyang alive to boost morale.”
Xi Yuelei's face was full of feigned sincerity. "Brother Gao, wait a moment. There may be some traps or ambushes ahead. For safety's sake, it would be right for me to go first and scout out the situation, while you stay behind to guard the rear. How about that?"
Gao Lizhu chuckled lightly, "I think it's not advisable. Brother Xiyue, don't worry. I will take extra precautions. You stay behind and guard the rear, and I will lead the charge."
"No, no, no, Brother Gao, you are not leading many troops on this expedition to Da Ning. If something goes wrong and your soldiers are severely damaged, you will not be able to explain to your father. It is more important to preserve your strength."
"Although I only brought 50,000 men this time, they are all skilled warriors and will never be defeated by the enemy and flee in disarray."
As Gao Lizhu spoke, she gave two forced, insincere laughs.
"Moreover, the Xiyue army has already suffered heavy losses. How can I bear to let you take another risk? Brother Xiyue, rest assured, I will not let you down. I will capture Princess Anyang alive and present her to you."
Xi Yuelei blushed at the mockery, his anger rising. He gritted his teeth and growled, "Just do what I tell you to do! Stop talking nonsense!"
Gao Lizhu wrinkled her nose in disdain, but she dared not offend Xi Yuelei, so she had to soften her tone.
"Since Brother Xiyue cares so much about me, then let Brother Xiyue lead the vanguard to attack Anyang."
"Hmph, that's more like it." Xi Yuelei ignored him and loudly ordered the soldiers behind him, "Advance to Anyang City! If there is any resistance, kill them without mercy!"
Soldiers follow their general's orders, and grass follows the wind. With a single command from Xi Yuelei, tens of thousands of soldiers marched forward in a mighty procession.
Gao Lizhu was so angry at Xi Yuelei's arrogant attitude that she gritted her teeth.
Damn it, you're trying to play dirty tricks on me. I'll beat you to a pulp, you brute!
At this moment, his lieutenant asked,
"Your Highness, what do we do now? Are we just going to stand guard behind Xiyue Kingdom? If that villain Xiyue Lei really breaks through Anyang, we won't be able to get Princess Anyang."
