Chapter 180: Only Have One Chance

Jin Huai then picked two blue flags, put them on the map, and said, "Since General Yao and General Du are our main force with fifty thousand troops, you should stay on the back formation. If there is an ambush, the main force will not be trapped."

He picked another blue flag, put it on the map, looked at Ren Fanyan and said, "General Ren, you will lead an army of five thousand soldiers and pass through the narrow valley. This is the most dangerous position, but I believe your soldiers have the fastest mobility in our army. You are the most suitable person to pass through this route."

Ren Fanyan looked at Jin Huai and said, "Leave the task as bait to me. I will definitely clear the way for General Yao and General Du."

Seeing his confident face, Jin Huai nodded, and said, "Then I will trouble General Ren with this dangerous mission."

Ren Fanyan nodded and said, "I understand, Advisor Jin. This is my duty and I will do my best."

Jin Huai then looked at Meng Sikuan and said, "General Meng, you have to stay with me here and be ready to move out to provide support at any time. If Qi Baijun really deliberately released false news to lure us to attack Lin Zi City, then he must have other plans. If he personally leads troops, they will most likely adopt a flanking strategy."

Meng Sikuan nodded and said, "I heard that Chen Yiwei also came with him this time."

Hearing what he said, Song Yanlei looked at the others and said, "I also got news that he really came with Qi Baijun this time."

"Then it is very likely that they will use a flanking strategy. Chen Yiwei’s troops are no less mobile than General Song’s troops. If he joins the battle, then we have to be prepared to be double ambushed by them." While talking, Jin Huai put three red flags on the map.

Yao Zhen looked at the map and said, "This battle will determine whether Lin Zi City can be taken back or not. We only have one chance, and we must not fail."

The others looked at his serious expression and nodded. Seeing that they knew the importance of this battle, he said, "We will depart in half an hour."

As soon as his words fell, the others clasped their fists and said, "This subordinate follows orders."

After speaking, the four generals left the tent and prepared to attack Lin Zi City. Jin Huai, who stayed behind, looked at Yao Zhen and said, "General Yao, if Chen Yiwei shows up, you must retreat immediately."

Yao Zhen looked at him and nodded. He was silent for a moment, and asked, "Advisor Jin, if this attack fails, can we still take back the seven cities from the Bei Wei Empire?"

Hearing his question, Jin Huai closed his eyes and shook his head, then said, "If we fail this time, the probability of taking back the seven cities from the Bei Wei Empire will drop to five percent."

Yao Zhen’s heart sank after hearing his words. Taking a deep breath, he asked, "If we fail this time, is there really no other way?"

Jin Huai thought for a while, opened his eyes, looked at him and said, "There is a way, but it is not possible to be implemented."

Yao Zhen clenched his hands and asked, "What is it?"

"We need Supreme General Xiao’s Night Army." Jin Huai replied calmly.

As soon as his voice fell, both of them fell silent. Yao Zhen closed his eyes and said, "This is indeed impossible."

After a few minutes of silence, he opened his eyes and said, "I’m going to prepare for the battle too."

Looking at Jin Huai again, he said, "Advisor Jin, if something happens to me, please give this to General Meng."

After speaking, he put the tiger seal on top of the map, and walked out from there. Half an hour later, the sound of war drums sounded in the barracks. Standing on the high platform, Yao Zhen calmly looked at the more than fifty thousand soldiers standing below.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Today, we must take back Lin Zi City from the Bei Wei Empire. The moment to show your loyalty and bravery to the Empire is before you. Are you willing to fight with me?"

The soldiers answered in unison: "Yes! We are willing!"

"Will you die as a hero for your Empire?" He asked again.

"Yes!" The soldiers responded loudly, and their fighting spirit began to burn.

"Will you be brave enough to stand in front of your enemies to protect your family and your empire?" He asked again.

The soldiers stomped their feet, raised their swords, and shouted: "Yes! Protect the Shang Empire! Protect our family!"

Yao Zhen watched the soldiers repeating this sentence over and over again for a while. When he saw that their morale was high enough, he walked down from the high platform with a determined face.

He rode his war horse, raised his sword high, and shouted: "Then kill the enemy together with me! Move out!"

As soon as he said this, more than fifty thousand troops left the military camp in a majestic manner. Jin Huai who was standing on the high platform looked at the army and said, "Generals, I will be waiting for your good news."

When Yao Zhen led his army to Lin Zi City, the spread of the disease in Lin Zi City was already out of control. As the chief physician of the Black Qilin Army, Gu Wei was so busy that he didn’t even have time to drink a sip of water for hours.

With a cloth covering his face and a pair of gloves on his hands, he checked the patient’s pulse. He shook his head, stood up, looked at his disciple and said, "He is gone. Move his body out and cremate him with the others."
