Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 672 - 670

Chapter 672: Chapter 670

It’s been four hours since the 50,000 new troops entered the Windbreak.

Li Zhi, along with several vice-generals and hundreds of soldiers, follows closely behind Situ Junjie.

Li Zhi knows that they are in great danger this time!

They didn’t know that the Imperial Court’s troops would be one step ahead, setting up formation in the Windbreak. So they blundered in directly.

Once the troops entered the Windbreak, they became dispersed and could no longer be reassembled!

Not to mention reassembling them, they couldn’t even protect themselves.

Situ Junjie has been stuck in this formation for two hours and still hasn’t found an exit!

Not finding an exit is tolerable enough, but to protect Situ Junjie, their generals have suffered injuries to varying degrees.

Li Zhi is anxious!

If things go on like this, his hard-earned 50,000 new troops might not even leave a trace!

He could even potentially be trapped and die in this formation!

"Advisor Situ, how is it going? Have you worked it out yet? Have you found the exit?" After another two hours, Li Zhi asked Situ Junjie, who was hunched on the ground, scribbling something.

"Do you think studying a formation is as simple as eating a meal? If I could figure it out in such a short time, why would anyone bother to lay out formations!" Situ Junjie retorted, irritated by his question.

Such a short time? They have been trapped in there for the majority of the day! The sky was nearly dark! And he’s still speaking of such a short time! Li Zhi was speechless!

As for the purpose of formations, Li Zhi smiled bitterly.

Others lay out formations to kill them - and that goal has been achieved!

As for the formations laid out by Situ Junjie, he had no clue what they were useful for!

No, he can’t say that. The most significant purpose of those two formations was to waste their time, allowing the Imperial Court’s troops to catch up!

It took them a few days to set up the formations. The Sixth Prince only spent under two hours to demolish everything, and the whole formation was ruined!

Could it be that the Sixth Prince broke the formation by fluke, not through understanding the formation? Li Zhi thought indignantly!

So, this is what a genius military advisor looks like? He truly had a taste of it!

Situ Junjie also felt a great pressure, his forehead slick with sweat due to nervousness.

The formation was beyond complicated, exceeding his understanding. How would he break it?

He had never thought that besides him, other people could also comprehend the art of Qi Men Dun Jia, which had long been lost. And even more, those people seemed to understand it better!

This was really infuriating!

Li Zhi and several other generals looked at each other. They all saw despair in each other’s eyes.

It’s finished! Everything is over!

...

Night fell quietly. Shangguan Xuanyi led 30,000 soldiers silently through the Windbreak, escorting the surrendering new troops at various positions guarded by Feng Xing and others.

After being busy an entire night, day began to break and dawn was about to emerge.

Shangguan Xuanyi, mounted on his horse, faced the Windbreak. Behind him, the number of soldiers had grown from 30,000 to over 70,000!

After a day and night’s effort, almost all the new soldiers of the Li army had surrendered!

...

Having studied the formation for a day and a night, Situ Junjie finally stood up excitedly, and declared loudly: "I’ve got it! I know how to get out!"

Li Zhi and the other several generals were awakened by this loud exclamation, having fallen asleep on the ground!

They instinctively picked up their swords, seeing no enemy around, they finally breathed a sigh of relief!

"Has daybreak arrived?"

Li Zhi, waking up completely at Situ Junjie’s words, asked hurriedly, "Advisor Situ, have you figured it out? Where is the exit?"

"Help me up first, my legs are numb!" Situ Junjie had been squatting on the ground all night and his legs were long numb.

Li Zhi hurriedly helped him up.

After a while, Situ Junjie let go of Li Zhi’s hand, dusted off his clothes, held his head high, and said with great triumph, "Brothers, let’s move! I am going to lead you out of this broken formation! Trying to stop us with such a simple formation? No way!"

Li Zhi: "..."

The crowd: "..."

Li Zhi and several generals exchanged glances!

Where did he find the arrogance as if he were leading thousands of troops!

With Li Zhi and the others in tow, Situ Junjie walked out ostentatiously.

Just as they stepped out of the woods, the sight of one massive sea of heads nearly brought them to their knees!

Then, realizing the situation, Li Zhi was livid, He had painstakingly recruited those soldiers and now, they were no longer his!

Li Zhi wanted to challenge them for giving in so shamelessly and without any sense of shame!

If the new recruits knew his thoughts, they would surely ask him: Can shame feed us? Is rebelling the Li family, recruiting soldiers privately, and committing open hostility against the Imperial Court a source pride for him?

In that case, they would indeed feel inferior!

"How come you are here?" Situ Junjie asked in disbelief.

Weren’t they supposed to be trapped in the woods?!

These 30,000 soldiers passed through the Windbreak in absolute silence, even faster than his own troops! How was this possible? Where should he put his face?!

"If this prince is not here, where should he be? In that forest?" Shangguan Xuanyi replied calmly.

"How did you manage to pass through the forest, and how much time did it take for you to understand the formation I laid out?"

"We walked through it! We spent as long a time as our walk took."

Feng Qing chuckled at his words, "Was there another formation in that forest? How could we be completely unaware of it?! Our Prince didn’t even pause for a moment when he passed through the forest, he just walked straight through!"

So, they just passed through, meaning they saw through his formation in one glance?

"That’s impossible! You’re lying!"

The Imperial Court’s soldiers were enraged, they responded in unison, "The Sixth Prince led us out of the forest, he indeed didn’t stop at all! In fact, when he was already out of the forest, the last soldiers in our queue hadn’t even entered the woods!"

"How could this be possible? If that was the case, there is only one possibility, which is..." Situ Junjie gazed at the young prince, astonished.

The Prince had seen right through his set formation with one glance!

This type of formation that only serves to confuse people is basic knowledge. Situ Junjie has already mastered it.

The formation he knows best was easily seen through. This blow felt almost like killing him!

Unfortunately, the world was always so unfair. While you might be a prodigy, there would inevitably be a more accomplished prodigy than you! In the case of Situ Junjie, Shangguan Xuanyi was that person.

"Surrender, or prefer death?" Shangguan Xuanyi took out his sword, cleaned it, and asked in a cold voice.
