Reborn on the wedding night, the regent princess said she knew she was wrong

All right, let's prepare for the battle, the Dragon and Phoenix Guards will lead the charge." Xiao Jue made the decision, and no one present objected.

"Oh? The other party actually dares to come out of the city to fight?" The Sixth Prince was sitting on the six-wheeled chariot and was a little surprised when he heard the report from the spy.

"Sixth Prince, we'd better be cautious." Xu Ci suggested again.

Jiang De also said, "We should leave some soldiers in the camp to guard it."

Ming Siqing sneered, "General Jiang, don't you think that the Xumi army still has enough energy to attack our camp?"

He glanced at Jiang De nonchalantly, and the disdainful look made Jiang De feel angry, but he swallowed it back.

Xu Ci grabbed Jiang De who was about to speak and shook his head at him.

Jiang De loosened his clenched fist again, "It's good that the Sixth Prince knows what's going on."

Ming Si said in a cold voice, "I know in my heart that they have less than two million soldiers now. The outcome will be clear in a day or tomorrow morning."

Xu Ci and Jiang De said solemnly, "Then we will wait for good news from the Sixth Prince."

Ming Siqing turned his head and looked forward, no longer speaking to them.

"They really came out, let's attack." Ming Siqing saw the Xumi army coming out of the city gate and quickly ordered an attack.

Trumpets sounded, flags fluttered, and drums beat.

Xumi's war drums were struck again, and it was a completely different sound, more intense than the last time, and more inspiring to the army.

The two armies confronted each other and war was about to break out.

"Kill me!"

"We swear to defend the territory of Xumi to the death. Anyone who invades the territory of Xumi will be killed!"

The orders were given to both armies, and both sides launched attacks.

Two hours later, the Sixth Prince's eyes narrowed.

Xu Ci and Jiang De on the side had already noticed something was wrong, but they held their breath, clenched their teeth on purpose, and said nothing.

The Sixth Prince sneered, "It's a waste of effort, it's futile. This general has already sent people to investigate, and there is no Xumi reinforcement within a hundred miles. They are just fighting like trapped beasts."

The Dragon and Phoenix Guards taking the lead was a result they had long expected.

However, the Dragon and Phoenix Guards' attacks were not as reckless and desperate as yesterday. Instead, they seemed to be deliberately conserving their strength and only defending without attacking.

Xu Ci and Jiang De looked at each other and finally understood why the Sixth Prince was determined to launch an attack. It turned out that he had already found out everything clearly.

Ming Siqing knew that Xu Ci and Jiang De had always been resentful, but he also knew that they dared not speak out.

So he didn't explain it deliberately in the past two days. He just wanted them to understand how he felt at the time.

Ming Siqing said slowly, "I can't bear to sacrifice so many soldiers, but if we don't fight this time, we will lose the initiative and fall into a passive situation."

Xu Ci and Jiang De asked in unison, "What does this mean?"

Ming Siqing said coldly, "With insufficient food and grass, if we continue to be in a stalemate, we will only be in a passive position."

"Sixth Prince, the two million additional troops you sent did not escort any food supplies?" Xu Ci was shocked and raised his voice suddenly, but was grabbed by Jiang De's arm again. Xu Ci reacted and quickly lowered his voice, but the coldness in his voice was not concealed at all.

The Sixth Prince frowned slightly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Originally, there should have been enough food and grass, but it was because of the obstruction of those good brothers. By the time the food and grass were settled, there was only enough for one month. Along the way, more than half of the food had been consumed by the two million soldiers during the march, and this was still a case of saving.

Now, if they don't fight this battle, the problem of food and grass will become their fatal weakness.

That was why he launched the attack first. This matter must not be known by the Xumi army. Otherwise, if the Xumi army really just defended and did not attack, they would be exhausted to death within ten days.

This place of falling clouds is originally a wild place.

The people within a hundred miles had already evacuated, and the village was empty. Even if they wanted to steal local food and fodder, there was nowhere to rob.

Xu Ci and Jiang De clearly felt the coldness emanating from Ming Siqing. After a quick guess, they vaguely understood what was going on. It was nothing more than the princes fighting for power and withholding food supplies.

The two of them tacitly stopped asking questions and silently took a step back, staring at the battlefield.

The Sixth Prince was brought back to his senses by the sound of war drums. Seeing that the two men were tactful and stopped asking questions, he felt a little relieved and also stared at the battlefield.

An hour later.

"This is not a solution. It's been almost four hours, the Dragon and Phoenix Guards are still full of energy, and the Ever-Victorious Army hasn't even entered the battlefield yet. This won't do." Xu Ci said anxiously.

Jiang De looked at Ming Siqing, "Sixth Prince must think of a solution."

Ming Siqing sneered, "Why are you in such a hurry? We only deployed two million troops just now. Send out the order to have these two million soldiers retreat and replace them with another group of soldiers. All the remaining soldiers will attack."

"In this case, I don't believe that the Ever-Victorious Army can remain indifferent." Ming Siqing looked at the Dragon and Phoenix Guards on the battlefield with eyes as if he was looking at dead people.

"Not good, they discovered our intention and sent out 4 million troops to fight." Military advisor Murong Zirui frowned as he watched the changes on the battlefield.

The Dragon and Phoenix Guards, who originally had some strength to spare, gradually found it difficult to face the enemies, which increased exponentially and were full of energy.

"Let the Ever-Victorious Army go into battle, giving the Dragon and Phoenix Guards half an hour of rest time." Xiao Jue hurriedly gave the order when he saw the enemy's four million troops heading out.

Eunuch Wu flew from the war drum to the chariot and said, "The Dragon and Phoenix Guards cannot retreat. Swords are out of their sheaths. We cannot retreat until the enemy is dead."

Xiao Jue glanced at Eunuch Wu and wanted to explain, but Eunuch Wu said, "At the beginning, you will have a strong momentum. At the second, you will lose momentum. At the third, you will be exhausted. General Xiao should understand this principle."

"Secondly, if the other side realizes that we want to rest the Dragon and Phoenix Guards and let the two million soldiers who just fought against us go into the field again, then we will be in trouble. We are already struggling with the current four million." Eunuch Wu was reluctant to lose heart, but his worried look said it all.

If reinforcements don't arrive, they really won't survive the night.

In this battle, the enemy's human warfare and wheel-based warfare made Xiao Jue's heart sink to the bottom.

Xiao Jue looked into the distance, at the place where heaven and earth met, the sunset glowed half the sky red. The blood-red sunset glow and the blood-red soil on the ground formed a desolate contrast.

Xiao Jue got off the chariot with heavy steps.

Eunuch Wu called out to him, "I will fight with you."

Xiao Jue turned around and looked at Eunuch Wu, and said with a smile, "I thought you would stop me."

So he didn't say a word just now.

Eunuch Wu smiled back, "Kill one and it counts. This old bone hasn't moved for years, and I'd love to be able to use it now."

Murong Zirui on the side frowned, wanting to say something, but didn't know what reason to use to stop him.
