The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 690 Developing a More Detailed Plan
In the dead of night, Zhu Xiong Ying and Lin Qi Ming stayed behind alone, lingering over the map and the latest intelligence.

"The enemy's counterattack seems to be no fluke. We need to develop a more detailed plan and make all necessary preparations."

Zhu Xiong Ying meticulously described the enemy's and our own situation on the table, his eyes gleaming with intelligence and determination.

Lin Qiming followed closely behind and discussed countermeasures with Zhu Xiong Ying. The discussion lasted all night and they showed no signs of fatigue.

"No matter how many times they come, we must have the confidence to meet them."

The night was deep, and the camp was silent except for a few flickering lights.

Zhu Xiong Ying and Lin Qi Ming were still busy in the tent, surrounded by intelligence maps and battle plans from both sides.

Zhu Xiong Ying's gaze swept across the map, his sword-like eyes finally settling on the enemy camp. He said softly, "Qiming, our plan must be more meticulous and cautious. The enemy may concentrate their forces to launch a counterattack."

Lin Qiming nodded, his brow furrowed as he analyzed, "As long as we can disrupt their supply lines, they will be distracted, and we will have a chance to turn the tide."

"Yes, breaking their logistics is key."

Zhu Xiong Ying picked up the map and pointed to a treacherous road. "This is their only way out. If we cut this off, their offensive will not be able to continue."

"Understood, I will personally lead the team in this operation."

Lin Qiming answered firmly.

The two exchanged a determined look, and then Zhu Xiong Ying changed the subject: "At the same time, I will launch a defection operation within the enemy ranks. There are subtle signs of division within the enemy, and we should take advantage of this."

"Uncle Zhu, you were prepared for this all along?"

Lin Qiming couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Yes, I have some informants infiltrated into the competitors' ranks, and it's time to get them to act."

Zhu Xiong Ying smiled slightly, revealing a hint of confidence.

The camp was bustling with activity for the next few days.

Lin Qiming selected several agile and stealthy elite soldiers to sneak towards the enemy's supply line.

Along the way, the dense forest provided them with natural cover, making it impossible for the enemy to detect the squad's whereabouts.

Stealth and ambush in the night must be completely silent, like the wind leaving no trace.

Meanwhile, Zhu Xiong Ying took command and integrated the strength of various small countries.

He tirelessly moved among representatives from various countries, carefully listening to their opinions and using his knowledge to coordinate their resource allocation.

On a quiet afternoon, Zhu Xiong Ying convened a meeting of representatives from small countries. In the tent, he calmly and solemnly said, "Our allies are like brothers and sisters, and now is the time for us to work together. The contradictions within our enemies are intensifying, and now we have the opportunity to amplify them further."

One representative asked, "Does this mean we are going to recruit disgruntled members of the enemy?"

"Yes."

Zhu Xiong Ying nodded firmly, "We will win them over to our side through friendship and mutual benefits."

Before it was completely dark, news came from Lin Qiming: "The enemy's supply line has been destroyed, and they are working hard to repair it."

At the same time, representatives from various smaller countries pledged to assist their respective countries.

Zhu Xiong Ying nodded in satisfaction. This strategy further strengthened the Allied forces' confidence, while the enemy was forced to retreat due to supply disruptions, adding a touch of tranquility to the area outside the camp.

Although the enemy's counterattack is still formidable, an unidentified force has infiltrated the battlefield, secretly sowing discord and preparing to stir up the calm waters.

Zhu Xiong Ying stood in the center of the tent, the wind outside the window gently stirring the tent curtains, allowing the sunlight to slant into the room.

He pondered for a moment, then turned to his trusted aide and said, "The time is ripe. Immediately contact our informants and have them make contact with the enemy general." His voice carried an undeniable firmness that commanded respect.

Soon after, several enemy generals who wanted to defect quietly appeared in Zhu Xiong Ying's plan.

Through reliable communication, Zhu Xiong Ying assembled a secret liaison team, personally led by Lin Qi Ming, to ensure the absolute safety of the mission.

After several days of secret contact, several enemy generals who had been full of complaints about their own policies finally decided to defect, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to the enemy army.

"We've hit their weak point; it's time to withdraw."

Lin Qiming said softly.

He and his team gathered deep in the dense forest, as if nature itself were concealing their whereabouts.

In the darkness of the night, his voice sounded exceptionally calm and steady.

Just as they were preparing to sneak back to the Allied positions, Lin Qiming received an urgent signal from Zhu Xiong Ying: they had to speed up the evacuation because an unknown force was stirring up the battle, eyeing both sides' intelligence and trying to create chaos.

This information made Lin Qiming frown, but he did not hesitate at all.

Inside the Allied camp, Zhu Xiong Ying was in close consultation with representatives of various small countries.

They talked enthusiastically about the latest victories, but were also worried about potential crises.

“We must take action; the forces that create chaos will not give up easily.”

His firm words commanded the respect of all the delegates, and everyone quickly brainstormed and ultimately decided to use smoke bombs for cover.

At the moment the operation began, thick smoke rose into the sky, quickly obscuring the enemy's vision.

Lin Qiming and his team seized the opportunity and crossed the enemy camp's perimeter without hesitation, completing this perilous evacuation mission.

Cheers erupted from the alliance positions, and morale soared to unprecedented heights.

Zhu Xiong Ying smiled, but dared not slack off in the slightest.

He knew that the victory at this moment was only a temporary respite, and that the battles to come would be even more arduous, and that the lurking force in the shadows would never give up easily.

"Next, we must find the masterminds behind these troublemakers."

Zhu Xiong Ying pondered for a moment, then said in a cold tone, "Only by eliminating this hidden danger can we truly be invincible."

In a secret outpost deep in the dense forest, Lin Qiming and his team had just completed a thrilling evacuation mission.

As night fell, a gentle breeze rustled through the treetops, and the faint chirping of insects filled the air, making the entire campsite exceptionally tranquil.

Lin Qiming pushed open the door of the simple wooden hut in the camp, where Zhu Xiong Ying was already waiting.

"Well done."

Zhu Xiong Ying nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction on his face.

He said to Lin Qiming with a hint of teasing, "But you came back pretty quickly."

Lin Qiming smiled slightly and said, "If we had time, I would be happy to walk more slowly. But right now, our opponents are too cunning."

The two sat down, and Zhu Xiong Ying stared sharply at the map, saying softly, "We need to act quickly. That unknown force should not be underestimated."

"I will secretly lead a small team of elites to infiltrate enemy lines and obtain more conclusive evidence."

Lin Qiming said earnestly, his eyes filled with determination.
