Chapter 348 Let’s set off some “big fireworks” and see?
A group of generals, deputy generals and military advisors gathered together and analyzed the situation carefully for a long time, but they could not come up with any way to quickly defeat Pagan.
General Weiyuan stared at the sand table with a frown for a long while, then suddenly slapped his forehead:
"Your Highness, have you thought of any good tactics?"
Her Royal Highness?
The generals in Ningzhou who had not seen Yun Shu's "superb tactical talent" all turned their eyes to look at her with some surprise.
Yun Shu was not panicked. He directly picked up the flag representing the Ningzhou Army and inserted it into a certain place on the sand table:
"Just hold on here."
General Weiyuan: “?”
"Your Highness means... defending the city?"
What kind of tactic is this?
General Weiyuan hesitated and said:
"Your Highness wants us to pretend to defend the city, deceive the enemy, and then send troops to attack?"
"Do not."
Yun Shu shook his head seriously:
"What I mean is, delay."
"drag?"
Who doesn't know that the one that can't be delayed the most right now is Tiansheng?
When those with impatient tempers heard this word, they couldn't hold back on the spot:
“The seven nations went to war in order to consume and force Tiansheng.
If we keep dragging it out, wouldn't that be exactly what Pagan wants?
This may not be a big deal in the short term, and we can indeed reduce casualties, but if it drags on for too long, we will be completely at a disadvantage!"
"Then why don't you just not delay it for too long?"
Yun Shu said slowly:
"I have heard your analysis just now.
Pagan is quite powerful. If no other reinforcements arrive, Ningzhou may win the battle with its current strength, but the price to pay will be extremely heavy.
The most important thing is that this time will not be too short.
Instead of doing this, it is better to delay it for a few days and wait for me to make new progress. Then, maybe we can easily win this battle."
"new progress?"
What new developments could give them an easy win against Bagan?
"This is a serious matter, so keep it secret for now."
Yun Shu raised her eyebrows slightly:
"Whether it can be accomplished or not, we will know in a few days."
"But……"
Wouldn't it be more risky if we delay for a few more days?
What if the "new progress" she mentioned didn't work out? What would she do then?
The Ningzhou commander wanted to say something more.
General Weiyuan nodded without hesitation:
"In that case, let's just put it off for the next few days!"
Ningzhou commander: “?”
No, what kind of love potion did Her Royal Highness give to this guy named Lu?
Without revealing any information, he just told them to wait.
General Weiyuan actually listened to such words?
"We must trust Her Royal Highness!"
As if he had seen the dissatisfaction and misunderstanding of the Ningzhou commander, General Weiyuan reached out and patted him on the shoulder, saying solemnly:
"Why do you think the battle of Nanzhou was won so easily?
It was all thanks to Her Royal Highness the Princess that she led people to build a hang glider, which allowed our people to fly directly over the Annan army and into the forest!"
Ningzhou commander: “???”
What flying?
Is this still human language?
Why can he understand them all separately, but cannot understand them all when put together?
"You guys continue chatting." Seeing that General Weiyuan was about to start bragging for her again, Yun Shu, who was so shameless, felt embarrassed to sit there and continue listening.
She stood up calmly:
"There are some things that I need to think about carefully."
……
Yun Shu had no idea how General Weiyuan boasted about her after she left that day.
But in the following few days, she always felt that the way the Ningzhou commander and his men looked at her was... strange and uncomfortable.
How should I put it? That look was like a modern fanatic fan seeing his idol.
It would be fine if she could get used to it, but Yun Shu had never been a star, so she couldn't stand such attention.
In order to avoid such sight, she stayed in the tent for several days and refused to take a step out!
Fortunately, such days did not last too long.
On the seventh day when Yun Shu was hiding in the tent reading a military book, Ah Ku suddenly appeared in front of her:
"Your Highness, there is news from the mountain that what you want has been successfully made."
"You've made it? So fast!"
Yun Shu's eyes suddenly showed surprise.
She threw away the military book in her hand and stood up in an instant:
"I will go and take a look myself!"
Yun Shu walked out of the tent excitedly and bumped into General Weiyuan who was looking for her. Without stopping, she walked directly to her horse and sat on it.
"General Lu, you've arrived just in time. If there's nothing important, why don't you come with me?"
"Now?"
General Weiyuan was stunned for a moment, but soon reacted with a look of ecstasy on his face:
"But has the new weapon been developed?"
"We'll know whether it succeeds or not after we see it."
Yun Shu looked back and raised her eyebrows:
"going or not?"
"go with!"
Must go!
The reason he came here now was because after seven days of fighting to defend the city, the morale of the soldiers who didn't know that the princess had secretly ordered people to make new weapons was a little low.
He looked anxious, so he couldn't help but come over to ask about the development progress of the new weapons?
Now that we know that the weapon has been successfully developed, only a fool would not go and see it!
General Weiyuan was so enthusiastic that he didn't even bother to go back to his tent to ride his own horse. He just grabbed a horse from Yunshu and followed her out of the camp.
We traveled for about half an hour.
The men tied their horses at the foot of the mountain and climbed over a small hill before they finally arrived at the place where the craftsmen were developing new weapons.
General Weiyuan smelled the strong smell of gunpowder in the air and looked a little surprised:
"Your Highness, did you have people making new weapons here and also making a lot of fireworks?"
"fireworks?"
Yun Shu chuckled. After the reserve Dragon Shadow Guard she had sent to escort her brought over the craftsman who had successfully made the explosives, she raised her chin and said with a smile:
"Can you show our General Weiyuan your latest upgraded version of the fireworks?"
"Yes! Of course I can!"
Come to think of it, this person happened to be the one who least believed that fireworks could be transformed into weapons of mass destruction.
Even when he went to the mountain valley to do the test this morning, he still didn't care.
After all, eight of the ten prescriptions given by Her Royal Highness had already been tried.
All useless.
He thought this one would be the same as the previous one, at best a slightly larger cluster of fireworks would pop up.
After lighting the fuse, he was not paying enough attention and even accidentally tripped while running!
Fortunately, the secret guards sent by His Highness to protect them were very capable and picked him up and ran away at the critical moment.
There is another chapter in progress, soon~
