"What did the prince say, when will we attack? We are all ready."
Now that the morale boost has been achieved, these soldiers have become enthusiastic and have begun to actively ask for battle.
Hao Liu responded: "The prince said now is not the time to start a war."
"What?"
"The enemy troops are here and we haven't moved yet. When is the good time?"
Several people asked in confusion.
"The prince must have made this decision for his consideration. The reason why King Yi Xing is in a high position is because he is resourceful and good at fighting. If he said it is not a good time now, then it is definitely not a good time. We will wait and see. "
Even though Hao Liu's answer was very clear, they still couldn't figure it out. Do they have to wait for them to recharge their batteries before launching troops?
Li Yang just wanted to fight these enemy troops.
The camp became quiet, and Li Yang read the story book when he had nothing to do.
"It's really fun. This folklore book is also quite interesting." Li Yang read while laughing.
After reading the book for a day, Li Yang's neck felt a little sore and he planned to go out and practice a set of boxing techniques.
When they came out, they saw Hao Liu and the others starting to make lunch.
"What are you eating today?" Li Yang asked.
Hao Liu thanked him and said, "In response to King Yi Xing, I will eat stew today. By the way, I also bought you some good dishes from the market. I will treat it as a small stove for you."
"Thank you." Li Yang came to the table, picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat.
At this time, Hao Liu came over and said: "Your Majesty, I heard at the market today that the enemy soldiers were short of silver. It seems that they only bought a cart of cabbage and couldn't even pay for the meat. Now when the meat vendors see the enemy The army is about to run away.”
Li Yang raised his eyebrows. The enemy army was not as large as theirs, and they also had a lot of entanglements. It was not a problem to eat meat every time. This was just what he wanted.
"When they have nothing left, wouldn't it be the best time to attack?" Li Yang said softly.
If the enemy's army lacks food, grass, and military silver, the soldiers will starve, and they will have no strength to fight.
Li Yang opened the food box and saw that every dish was of high quality, which was much better than the enemy's cabbage.
…
The enemy side.
A cart of cabbage has been unloaded.
"One hundred strong men can only eat a cart of cabbage. If they don't have the strength, they will only be beaten."
"We can't continue to waste like this. If we continue to waste like this, we will have nothing by then."
One of them even said angrily: "When we went to the vendors today, they all avoided us and it was difficult to grab a dish. The meat vendors even closed their doors, saying that all the meat was sold out. It seems that it was bought by Dafeng’s army.”
"What? They eat meat every meal, and we eat cabbage every meal."
With that said, they were about to rush over with machetes.
"You don't want your life."
"General, we have nothing now. If we continue like this, we will starve to death."
"Nonsense, try to find a way to attack some wild areas so that you can make up for them."
"It's the general."
…
royal palace.
News of the stalemate between the two sides spread in the palace.
"Now the people in the city, and even the people in the villages in the border towns, are saying that I, Dafeng, are standing still and do not dare to send troops to confront the enemy."
"The enemy is so close, why hasn't King Yi Xing sent out troops? Now the local positions are getting bigger and bigger, and they are clearly clamoring against us. How can I, Dafeng, allow them to clamor like this?"
"If we misunderstood King Yi Xing before, what about now? King Yi Xing is really going to be lazy, right?"
Hearing this, Qin Yushuang thought for a moment. None of them in the palace had as much brains as Li Yang.
Is Li Yang plotting again?
This is really puzzling.
"My lords, please be patient. I know you are thinking about Da Feng. Why don't we just wait and see? Maybe King Yi Xing is thinking of some plan."
After hearing what His Majesty said, the adults did not dare to say any more.
"What your Majesty said is true, and it is not impossible."
"I obey your Majesty."
There are always adults who dare to speak up.
"Your Majesty, please think twice. There will be danger one day if you wait. If the enemy occupies the territory as a camp, I'm afraid they will be more arrogant and difficult to deal with in the future."
"That makes sense."
"This matter needs to be discussed with King Yi Xing. Ministers, please stop speculating."
"It's Your Majesty."
After retreating from the court.
Qin Yushuang returned to the palace. She thought about it carefully and said softly: "Is it possible that he wants to wear down the enemy's army and wait until the enemy's food and grass are insufficient before sending troops?"
Jie'er nodded, "It's very possible."
"But it is also difficult. The opponent is also recharging his energy. He has not traveled long distances and is resting in the camp day and night, so the opponent's energy will be quite high. If the enemy really has no food and grass, that will not be a problem."
"For example, if they go out into the wild and steal people's food, it's not impossible for them to do it."
Qin Yushuang thinks it makes sense.
"There is no possibility of winning the battle all the time. I'm afraid King Yi Xing will think too little."
Thinking of this, Qin Yushuang became worried.
…
At this time, Li Yang learned that the enemy army was now out of food and grass, and even went to the wild fields to catch wild boars, rabbits and the like.
But they found nothing, because Li Yang had regular field soldiers, and there was no shortage of wild boars and rabbits in the surrounding area, which was dozens of miles away, because they had shotguns.
Sure enough, the enemy troops began to starve and were so hungry that they could not sleep in the camp.
Li Yang felt that this was a good time.
"Gather all soldiers and head to the enemy camp."
"yes."
All the soldiers got up and dressed together, then mounted their horses and came to the enemy camp.
They shuttled among the enemy positions and threw torches towards the tents.
Dafeng soldiers followed suit and all the tents were set on fire.
Some soldiers were so smoked that they ran away. They had no time to respond, and even if they responded, they were not fully prepared.
Li Yang led Dafeng soldiers and surrounded them all.
There was fire in the bows and arrows, and they shot the long arrows at the enemy's tent, which instantly caught fire.
Li Yang was riding on a war horse, looking majestic.
"It's on fire, Dafeng soldiers are here."
Not long after, the enemy troops were all under control. Each of these heavy cavalrymen were strong men. They wore armor and rode on their horses in an awe-inspiring manner. Unfortunately, they were nothing now.
Li Yang tightened the horse's rope and said, "You have been defeated. If you resist again, you will be killed."
They were defeated and were successfully captured by Li Yang.
"You are too despicable. When you learned that our position was short of food and fodder, you set fire to attack us at night and successfully captured us while we were unprepared and unable to resist. Damn it..."
A soldier showed the opponent's face clearly, it was the enemy's deputy.
"Despicable? When your enemy instigates a rebellion and the prime minister gets the border defense map, the first thing he plans to do is seize the territory."
