General Meng spoke first: "General Shen devised a plan to lure the enemy to the canyon to the west, so we pretended to retreat in defeat and retreated towards the canyon. As expected, the enemy took advantage of the victory and pursued us. Just last night, our soldiers engaged the enemy in a direct battle in the canyon."
"At this time, the soldiers who had been lying in ambush in the canyon pushed down the boulders they had prepared beforehand as soon as we crossed the canyon, blocking it. Only less than six thousand enemy soldiers chased us across the canyon, and we annihilated them all."
"As for the other enemy troops, because they were blocked by boulders, they had to go around the mountains again, which would take at least two days."
At this point, General Meng glanced at Shen Ci with admiration.
It's easy to say, but to actually lure the enemy over there, you can't afford to make a single mistake.
Fortunately, Shen Ci planned ahead, which bought them some breathing room.
To be honest, General Meng never imagined that this young general, who looked more like a scholar, was not only courageous and knowledgeable, but also had such a scheme.
"How many enemies did you annihilate?" Gu Mu asked.
General Meng lowered his head in shame: "It was almost a draw. We killed about 16,000 enemy soldiers, and that was after we annihilated 6,000 enemies in the Battle of the Canyon."
Fighting with fewer troops is the most difficult.
Before transmigrating, Gu Mu often fought with enemies in the King's Canyon.
If one person faces five opponents, unless they are a top-tier player, they can barely manage to escape unscathed; even a one-for-one trade would be the limit.
"Well done," Gu Mu gave a positive evaluation.
General Meng and Shen Ci both stared in astonishment.
At such a moment, even if His Highness wanted to vent his anger due to panic, and even if they had indeed done their best, it wouldn't be unreasonable to scold them in such a dire situation.
But His Highness, apart from his furrowed brows, showed no sign of anger towards them.
They knew that 20,000 soldiers were on their way to provide support.
Even including the remaining soldiers in the military camp, the total number does not exceed 30,000.
The enemy still had more than 90,000 men left.
The enemy will not fall for the canyon's trick twice.
Therefore, even if His Highness leads the troops in person, history will simply repeat itself.
They might exchange 30,000 men for 30,000 enemy men, while the remaining tens of thousands of enemy men could still break through the border and capture cities belonging to the Southern Dynasty.
Your Highness, why are you so calm?
