656 Enlightened

There were Ge Kingdom spies in the border town and the army.

There were also spies from Daliang in the Ge Kingdom’s army.

When Xiao Hanzheng took over his father’s power, there were a few of his own men in Ye Lui Donghe’s army.

Hence, there was news.

!!
He looked at the news. In the past, there would be news from the border town to Ye Lui Donghe every day, but today there was no news at all. He didn’t know what was going on.

Seeing the news, Xiao Hanzheng guessed that it was his wife who did it.

Therefore, he called the deputy general, the old general, and a few other generals over to discuss. They were all people who had no problems. He had emphasized that, so the strategy this time was not leaked.

The next morning, there was still no movement from Border Town.

Seeing this, Ye Lui Donghe guessed that even if Princess Fubao went in, she probably wouldn’t be able to do anything.

His men had been staring at the sky and the city gate. No one or team sent in supplies, which made him feel relieved.

The Daliang soldiers in the city were hungry and did not have the strength to fight, so they did not have to worry about being attacked from both inside and outside.

Now, he had to focus on dealing with Xiao Hanzheng.

It was just that there had been no news from inside, which gave him a bad feeling.

For the sake of caution, he still ordered, “Continue to have those thirty percent of the troops keep an eye on Border Town. Report immediately if anything happens.”

“Yes, sir!”

On the other side, the soldiers in the city had eaten a full meal with meat and were resting while waiting for the order to break out.

Shi Qingluo had changed into a set of armor, and a long sword hung at her waist. She went to the city wall with the Third Prince.

The Third Prince had recovered a lot today and could walk on his own.

Liang Hengxiao smiled. “You look a little like Rongrong in this outfit. You look valiant.”

She didn’t expect Shi Qingluo to look so delicate and soft. Her aura seemed to have changed after putting on the armor.

Shi Qingluo smiled. “Thank you for the compliment. Not only do I look like one, I can also follow the army to kill enemies.”

The two of them walked to the city wall and stood in a corner to look down.

They were standing in a relatively hidden position, so it was not easy for the Ge soldiers below the city wall to see them.

Shi Qingluo looked through the binoculars and saw that the Ge Kingdom’s army was still the same. It was obvious that they had not expected them to break out.

She looked at the hills in the distance. The army of Daliang looked like they were ready to go at any time.

Shi Qingluo calculated the time and released a messenger pigeon when it was about time.

Because carrier pigeons were small and were specially trained to fly very high, the people from Ge Kingdom could not shoot them down.

Moreover, because the messenger pigeon appeared almost every day, they were not surprised.

Liang Hengxiao asked, “Are you going to discuss with Xiao Hanzheng how to fight?”

Shi Qingluo shook her head. “No, I’m just sending him a signal that he can fight.”

The Ge Kingdom’s commander was cautious and smart. If she were to set off fireworks, it would be obvious that something was wrong and they would definitely be on guard.

However, sending a messenger pigeon was different. The other party should be used to it.

Moreover, when they saw the messenger pigeon, the Ge Kingdom’s commander and the others would guess that they were going to send a message to the little husband to discuss how to escape.

It would take some time for the messenger pigeon to fly over and return. During this period of time, the Ge Kingdom army would think that they would not be able to fight.

She and her little husband wanted to use this time gap to catch the Ge Kingdom’s soldiers off guard.

As expected, Xiao Hanzheng had been monitoring the situation in Border Town with binoculars.

The moment the pigeon was discovered, a soldier reported it.

Xiao Hanzheng also stood up and said to the generals, “My wife has sent a signal. Now, the entire army will follow me to battle.”

The generals present were a little confused. Where was the signal? Why didn’t they see it?

Moreover, the supplies had not been sent in. Could the hungry soldiers in the city still break out?

Someone could not help but ask these two questions.

Xiao Hanzheng took out the commander’s seal from his pocket. “I am the commander today. You don’t have to ask me anything. Just follow my orders.”

Then, he put on his armor and mounted his horse. “If anything happens, I’ll bear the responsibility.”

What else could the others do? They could only follow.

After all, the Commander’s Seal was in Xiao Hanzheng’s hands and the arrow had to be fired.

They could only pray that the old immortal would really appear and bless Princess Fubao to send the supplies in.

When Xiao Hanzheng led his army to attack, the Ge Kingdom army was still shocked even though they had prepared for the ambush.

When Ye Lui Donghe heard that Xiao Hanzheng was coming, he immediately mounted his horse and led his generals to fight.

He also ordered the people in ambush to take action immediately.

When they were about to enter the Ge Kingdom’s ambush, Xiao Hanzheng suddenly stopped his horse and led the army to a halt.

He raised his hand and ordered, “Get on the catapult and smash it forward.”

Soon, someone used a catapult to smash the rocks in front of them.

Then, everyone saw that the ground in front of them had collapsed quite a bit.

He also saw that there were many large pits on the ground, all of which were filled with sharp bamboo.

If they rushed over and fell down, who knew how many people would die?

Perhaps the warhorses of the generals in front would fall off.

This would affect morale.

When Ye Lui Donghe saw this scene from afar, his face turned even darker.

He did not expect Xiao Hanzheng to be so powerful. Not only did he know that they had set up a trap, but he also figured out the general location of the trap.

He took out a small red flag and waved it.

Just then, Xiao Hanzheng shouted, “Defence camp.”

Then, a group of thousands of soldiers suddenly charged out, each carrying a piece of wood on their backs.

Then, they spread out in front and left and right respectively, took off the wooden blocks on their backs, and quickly assembled them.

Suddenly, a group of Ge Kingdom soldiers rushed out and shot arrows at the Daliang army.

At this moment, tall shields appeared in the hands of the thousand soldiers. They then connected the shields together and blocked the soldiers of Daliang like a wall.

The timing was just right, and all the arrows hit the tall shields. There were no casualties on Daliang’s side.

Xiao Hanzheng had studied Ye Lui Donghe’s fighting skills and he was very good at the timing.

He had guessed that the Ge Kingdom army would ambush and rain arrows, so he had timed the soldiers to prepare the defence camp.

These flexible shields were developed by him.

However, it was inspired by the puzzle that his wife made for Erlang and his sister.

Carrying a large shield on one’s back was troublesome, and it was easy for the enemy to target them.

Therefore, he thought of temporary assembly and secretly trained the defence camp.

It allowed them to assemble the shields in the shortest amount of time. There were also special interface card slots that could connect all the shields together, ensuring that not a single arrow could enter.

This scene not only shocked Ye Lui Donghe.

Even the soldiers of Daliang were dumbfounded.

Lord Xiao was too awesome. Not only did he accurately calculate the other party’s ambush, but he had also prepared a countermeasure long ago.

Also, this shield was something they had never seen before. It was actually able to piece together into a large shield. They were enlightened!
