Chapter 647: 323: Twisting Heaven and Earth again!_2

Nai’er sighed softly and said, "As long as you can come back safely, nothing else matters. You’re so bad, but it’s not like I only found out today."

Suo Lun smelled the pervasive jealousy and kissed her petite mouth, then smiled and said, "It’s sweet, not sour at all."

Nai’er turned her cheek, looked into Suo Lun’s eyes, and said earnestly, "Husband, remember, I am the woman who loves you the most. No one loves you as much as I do."

...

Inside the City Lord’s Council Hall.

After Suo Lun’s return, Suo Ningbing went straight to the back courtyard and no longer participated in the council’s affairs.

"Husband, I am about to lead the army to the Wind Thunder Fortress defense line to resist Duke Zhi Wei’s army of more than a hundred thousand," said Yan Nai’er. "Mrs. Yanchuo is preparing to lead all the naval forces to fight to the death against Gui Xingfu."

Suo Lun asked, "Can we win?"

Yan Nai’er thought for a moment and said, "We only have forty thousand, while the enemy has four hundred thousand troops and their numbers are endless, so no, we can’t win."

Suo Lun said, "Therefore, all previous military deployments are to be canceled. Now listen to my command!"

All the lords present immediately sat up straight.

Suo Lun continued, "Gui Xingfu has forty thousand in his navy, and we have only ten thousand in our naval forces. We can’t win, so let’s not fight at all. Let Gui Xingfu land on Chaos Stone Island."

Everyone was stunned at this statement.

Zhi Yan said, "Husband, Chaos Stone Island is not only an important source of wealth for us but also a symbol. Once Gui Xingfu occupies Chaos Stone Island, it means that Zhi Li will start the next round of action."

Suo Lun said, "The enemy is too powerful, and no matter what schemes or tricks we have, we cannot win head-on. So we must change our way of fighting. You fight your battle, and I’ll fight mine!"

Upon hearing this, everyone perked up their ears.

Suo Lun asked, "Gui Xingfu’s navy assembled in the southeastern sea region of Luan Yang City, correct?"

Yan Nai’er replied, "Yes, because Linhai City’s docks don’t have a port large enough, nor can they provide supplies for a fleet of forty thousand, so they are assembling in the southeastern sea region off Luan Yang City."

Then, Nai’er suddenly said, "Last time, Turing Duo sent people to assassinate Lord Tuli Yun, but we replaced him with a body double. Now Lord Tuli Yun must be regretting it. Let him turn the one thousand naval forces of Luan Yang City and strike back at the critical moment, and there will definitely be a surprise effect."

After listening to her, Suo Lun was quite tempted but, after thinking about it, shook his head and said, "No, Lord Tuli Yun is a very crucial card. It’s a pity to play it at this time. We don’t need to use Tuli Yun to deal with Gui Xingfu."

This statement was also filled with a spirit of boldness.

Before, whether it was Nai’er, Yanchuo’er, or Elder Yan Yan, everyone felt the situation was desperate and without a glimmer of hope.

But when it came to Suo Lun, not only was winning the objective but he was also reluctant to play the card that was Tuli Yun.

Suo Lun said, "Gui Xingfu’s navy should arrive at Chaos Stone Island in less than two days. Aunt, you must immediately ride the Griffin Beast to the seaside and lead the fleet northward, allowing seven thousand Rock Pirates to garrison the castle on Chaos Stone Island. Move all the giant catapults on the ships and all the fire oil bombs to the castle on Chaos Stone Island, and convert the navy into an army. We will fight Gui Xingfu’s forty thousand navy after they enter Chaos Stone Island."

Yanchuo’er (Queen) said, "That’s certainly possible, but even though the castle on Chaos Stone Island has been repaired, it’s still not very sturdy. With three thousand soldiers defending and the addition of the Rock Pirates, we only have ten thousand troops. Against Gui Xingfu’s forty thousand army, we would still fall."

Suo Lun said, "Can you hold out for five days?"

Yanchuo’er replied, "That’s no problem. We can hold out even for ten days."

Suo Lun decided, "Then it’s settled. Our first step is for the Suo naval forces to avoid a naval battle with Gui Xingfu, lure his forty thousand navy to Chaos Stone Island, then fight and hold for five days as a strategic objective."

"Yes," replied Yanchuo’er (Queen).

Suo Lun continued, "For the second step, Princess Zhen Yan, Zhuang Zhixuan, and the Shadow Cabinet masters will immediately go north, seize the bridge and ferry between Tian Shui City and Linhai City, and must not let Linhai City be compromised."

"Yes!" said Yanchuo’er.

The natural boundary between Tian Shui City and Linhai City was also the Nu River.

Between the two places, the Nu River had a relatively gentle stretch that was neither steep nor dangerous, and it was only a hundred meters wide. Therefore, there were three iron lock suspension bridges erected over it, in addition to ferry docks.

Suo Lun continued, "After the meeting ended, I immediately rode a Griffin Beast south to Tianlang Pass. I welcomed Ashi Liren as she led her army into the pass to head north, and Elder Yan Yan also led all the cavalry within Tianlang Pass northward. In total, we had twenty-five thousand cavalrymen. We would strike with the swiftness of lightning into Linhai City. Within three days, we would completely occupy the entire Linhai City and capture Lord Tuli Yun’s lesser master, Gui Qinbi."

"The third step is to deploy troops to Chaos Stone Island and attack from both the front and back, utterly annihilating Gui Xingfu’s forty thousand Allied Army."

"In a nutshell, the strategic objective of this battle is only one, that is to completely capture Linhai City, to kill or capture Gui Xingfu, Gui Qinbi, Gui Qinqu, Gui Qinzhong, and in short, to ensure not a single male of the Gui Clan remains, making Gui Qinshao the sole heir to the city lordship of Linhai City. Then, with the utmost speed, issue an imperial decree to confer upon Gui Qinshao the title of Earl of Linhai and City Lord of Linhai, with Mrs. Turing Si serving as her guardian," said Suo Lun.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was utterly shocked.

No one expected Suo Lun to not only preserve Tianshui City but also to totally wipe out the Gui Xingfu family, striking another harsh blow to Zhi Li’s soft underbelly.

After supporting Ashi Liren to become the Rouran City Lord, he was now about to help Gui Qinshao ascend as the City Lord of Linhai.

This was indeed too... shocking.

Zhi Yan said, "What about Duke Zhi Wei’s army of over a hundred thousand, and Duke Turing Tuo’s Army of Reversal?"

"Don’t worry about them," said Suo Lun. "We need to be fast and take advantage of the fact that Duke Zhi Wei’s large army and Duke Turing Tuo’s army have not yet arrived. We will completely eradicate Gui Xingfu and fully capture Linhai City, turning the raw rice into cooked rice!"

Zhi Yan said, "Angered by humiliation, Zhi Li will let hundreds of thousands of soldiers attack Tianshui City."

Suo Lun said, "Rest assured, at that time I will have another strategy in place, forcing him to accept the reality while grudgingly swallowing his own blood."

At this moment, Yan Nai’er suddenly said, "Husband, what about me? What’s my task?"

Suo Lun said, "You will lead an army of over twenty thousand to defend the western Fenglei Fort Defense Line, mainly against Duke Zhi Wei’s army of over a hundred thousand. Without a direct order from Zhi Li, he would not dare to truly attack the city. But in case he does decide to attack, you must hold out for three days."

Yan Nai’er said, "We have an astronomical amount of Greek fire, and with the hundreds of giant catapults at the Fenglei Fort Defense Line, holding out for three days should be no problem."

Suo Lun said, "Then let’s conclude the meeting and head to the battlefield immediately!"

Moments later, Queen Yan Chuo rode on a Griffin Beast, flying towards the eastern sea area. She would lead seven thousand Rock Pirates to station in the castle of Chaos Stone Island, turning the naval battle into a land battle.

Zhi Yan, Zhuang Zhixuan, and the Shadow Cabinet experts rode Griffins northward, seizing the suspension bridges and ferries over the Nu River to ensure an unimpeded passage for Ashi Liren and Yan Yan’s Army as they moved north to Linhai City.

Yan Nai’er, leading an army of fifteen thousand, proceeded to the western Fenglei Fort Defense Line. Together with the nearly ten thousand defenders already there, they comprised a force of twenty-five thousand strong, ready to hold against Duke Zhi Wei’s large army.

As for Suo Lun, he rode a Griffin Beast southward to welcome Ashi Liren and Yan Yan’s Army.

This astonishing net and astonishing battle arrangement unfolded in full.

It was a complex state where everyone was interlinked. There was surrounding and being surrounded; you fight your battle, and I fight mine against you.

The intricacies of the battle situation were immense, and it embodied a famous saying from a leader of New China.

...

Two hours later!

Suo Lun arrived on a Griffin Beast at Tianlang Pass and met the peerless and extraordinary Ashi Liren, standing as proud and lonely as an exceptional beauty tinged with frost.

"Ali, as you lead your troops to reinforce us, my heart surges with emotion. I can hardly resist the urge to run up and hug you, to force a kiss upon you. Would you beat me up?" Suo Lun asked.

With that, Suo Lun stretched out his arms and lunged toward Ashi Liren.

He truly intended to force a kiss!
