Chapter 321 Good News, War Begins

The actions of Wei Chengyi and his men were top secret, and apart from a few generals, few people knew about it. Qingying then devoted all her efforts to training the cavalry, and Yan Lang was responsible for the overall coordination of the troops stationed in the three counties. At the same time, he did not forget to send scouts to closely monitor the Western Hu people stationed outside and not give them any chance to escape.

After waking up, Shen Xiangwan acted as if nothing had happened. She took Yuanyue to the wounded soldiers' camp as usual. In the evening, she received a letter from Wei Chengyi reporting that he was safe. In order not to affect him, she did not reply. For the next period of time, she stayed in the wounded soldiers' camp during the day and returned to the general's tent to rest at night. She looked more normal than anyone else. Yan Lang, Qingying and Yuanyue, who had been a little worried, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They all saw how deep her feelings for Wei Chengyi were, and they were not afraid of anything else but that she would worry too much and embarrass herself.

In a blink of an eye, a few days passed. Everyone was busy in an orderly manner and didn't even take time for the Lantern Festival. The Western Hu people stationed outside the city didn't attack once. The previously injured soldiers recovered one after another, and the wounded camp was gradually emptied. Shen Xiangwan, Mu Yunran and the medical boys became free one after another, but they still went to the wounded camp every day to teach the military doctors and medicine boys how to deal with and suture wounds. At the same time, they also asked the military doctors how to take pulses and prescribe medicines. The two sides had friendly exchanges.

"Should we start?"

Half a month after Wei Chengyi left, the atmosphere in the military camp became tense again. Shen Xiangwan stood outside the big tent, watching the soldiers coming and going and whispering. She didn't know what the specific arrangements were before Wei Chengyi left, but half a month was almost the limit. If she waited any longer, something might change. What she could realize, Yan Lang and Qingying were definitely more perceptive.

"Ma'am, should we go to the wounded camp or stay in the big tent to rest?"

Not wanting her to get involved in the troop deployment, Yuan Yue asked at the right time. She was not afraid of anything, but she was afraid that she would go to the battlefield herself.

Turning her head to look at her, Shen Xiangwan shook her head and walked towards Yan Lang's residence. Since Wei Chengyi left, they were all discussing matters there in order to avoid disturbing her. Yuan Yue, who was following behind her, couldn't help but touch her nose. Was it her illusion? The lady's look just now seemed to contain thousands of words, and she should have seen through her little tricks.

"Wanwan? Why are you here?"

Inside the tent, Yan Lang and his companions were making the final arrangements. When they looked up, they saw Shen Xiangwan walking in. After a brief moment of shock, the generals bowed in unison: "Greetings, Madam!"

"No need to be polite."

Waving his hand, Shen Xiangwan walked over and stopped in front of the sand table: "Are we going to take action?"

"Ah."

Wei Chengyi didn't hide anything from her, and Yan Lang didn't think she shouldn't ask. He nodded and continued, "According to the news sent back by the scouts, the Western Hu people have become more and more anxious in the past two days. They are likely to launch a sneak attack or attack the city again. Our cavalry has been trained almost completely. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, we are ready to act tomorrow. At 3:00 pm, General Wang, General Chen, and General Zheng will each lead 10,000 cavalrymen to go around the rear of the Western Hu people and cut off their retreat. At 3:45 pm, the three counties will open the city gates at the same time, and all the infantry will attack together. We must ensure that they are completely wiped out and not a single one will escape."

Pointing at the sand table full of flags, Yan Lang briefly explained their plan. The Western Hu people were all cavalry, good at lightning raids, and very mobile, but they also had a fatal flaw, which was the lack of food and grass. Their anxiety was most likely caused by this. If he guessed correctly, they would only have two choices next, either to break through the barriers frantically and fight to support the war, or to withdraw temporarily and wait until they met up with reinforcements before breaking through the barriers together. No matter which one, it would be harmful to them, so they must attack in advance and not give the Western Hu people any chance to choose.

"Well, you guys go ahead and make the arrangements, I'll just listen and I promise not to say anything!"

Looking down at the sand table, Shen Xiangwan said casually. The generals looked at each other, not knowing how to proceed. Yan Lang and Qing Ying didn't care and continued to make arrangements. They tried their best in this operation. They could only succeed and not fail. Otherwise, they would be too sorry for Wei Chengyi and others who sneaked into the grassland.

Ok?
After an unknown amount of time, Shen Xiangwan suddenly felt the movement of space. When she turned her back and walked towards the main seat, she quietly took out a letter from the space. When she saw the contents clearly, a brilliant arc appeared at the corner of her lips: "I almost forgot, Uncle Yan, this is the letter sent back by Cheng Yi. Not long ago, they successfully assassinated the leader of the Western Hu reinforcements, King Xulu, and the Western Hu reinforcements that were gathering are in chaos."

Shen Xiangwan turned around abruptly, holding the letter she had just received and spoke loudly, to be precise, they had just assassinated King Xulu last night, but the generals in the big tent didn't know about the superpowers yet, so naturally they didn't know about it. She could use space to transmit messages to Wei Chengyi in real time, so she could only slightly blur the time when they took action.

"real?!"

Hearing this, everyone spoke at the same time, their faces filled with naked excitement. Yan Lang excitedly stepped forward to take the letter from her hand. After reading it carefully, he laughed heartily and said, "Good, great. In this way, we will have no worries at all. Generals, in tomorrow's decisive battle, we must annihilate the Western Hu people!"

"Yes!"

Everyone clasped their fists in unison. The news that Wei Chengyi had successfully assassinated the Western Hu King Xulu came too timely. It not only dispelled their last bit of worry, but also greatly boosted their morale. Everyone's confidence increased several times. Tomorrow, they will make sure the Western Hu know that anyone who dares to cross the border will die!
Seeing how excited they were, Shen Xiangwan also smiled very happily. After successfully assassinating King Xulu, Cheng Yi should be coming back.

The war was about to begin, and all three counties were mobilizing troops. The wounded soldiers' camp, which had been idle for a few days, became busy again. Shen Xiangwan personally summoned all the military doctors, medical boys, and pharmacists, and asked them to prepare to receive the wounded. Starting tomorrow, they would be divided into two groups, taking turns day and night to rescue as many wounded soldiers as possible in the shortest time.

"Open the city gate!"

The next day, at 2:05 a.m., Yan Lang stood on the city wall and gave a solemn order. The soldiers who had been prepared slowly opened the heavy city gate. Inside the city, the general sitting astride a tall horse raised his sword and said, "My men, the Western Hu people are cruel and bloodthirsty. They have been harassing the border for years and slaughtering our people. As the guardian of the border, what should we do?"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The soldiers who were ready to go shouted and killed, and the general's voice mixed with his inner strength rang out again: "My men, follow me!"

"rush!"

Under his command, the soldiers swarmed out of the city like a swarm of locusts. Shen Xiangwan, who was standing on the city wall with Yan Lang, watched them sternly. After all 30,000 soldiers had left the city, the soldiers in front began to run, and the soldiers behind followed one after another. Soon, they went farther and farther away and gradually disappeared at the end of the grassland.
