The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

It is estimated that they might be scared and retreat. Since the other party has come, how can they not keep them? It would be troublesome to let them escape.

Today, Silla claims to have a million soldiers. If we let the other side escape back and then attack Silla, those who escape back will cause great trouble to us.

If the 300,000-strong army could be wiped out in one battle, not only would the enemy's manpower be destroyed, but the remaining Silla troops would also be intimidated.

"Your Majesty, Li Shunchen is very cautious. Although the sentry tower in front of us has been vacated, his advance speed is still slow, as if he wants to gain a foothold. Moreover, the 300,000-strong army has only gathered 100,000 troops to rush to Youdu Prefecture, and the remaining 200,000 troops are dispersed into several groups, following behind the 100,000-strong army."

"My idea is to temporarily defend the city and send another 10,000 troops to go around the rear. If we can attack when the remaining troops of the enemy meet up, we can annihilate them completely!"

Zhou Zheng also spoke at this time.

However, after he finished speaking, his expression was somewhat hesitant. Jiang Fan looked at him with a smile on his face. Zhou Zheng probably knew that his troops were insufficient and wanted to destroy the enemy from behind. Even with advanced weapons, he probably couldn't do it.

"Don't worry, reinforcements are on the way and will arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. The total force is 100,000. It is enough for you to annihilate the 300,000-man army here!"

Before Jiang Fan came here, he mobilized an army of 200,000. Since he was preparing to destroy Silla, it was impossible that he only had 50,000 troops from Youdu Prefecture.

One hundred thousand of the two hundred thousand troops are about to arrive, and another hundred thousand are on the way.

Hearing Jiang Fan's words, Niu Wu and Zhou Zheng's faces were full of joy. With 100,000 troops plus 50,000 troops, 150,000 against 300,000, the advantage is in their hands!

While Jiang Fan was talking with Niu Wu and Zhou Zheng, the 100,000-strong army of Silla had already arrived less than fifty miles outside Youdu Prefecture. It would only take three hours to reach Youdu Prefecture.

Looking in the direction of Youdu Prefecture, the faces of the 100,000 marching Silla troops were filled with anticipation and excitement.

In the army, the general leading this time was called Li Suigang, the eldest son of Li Shunchen. Li Shunchen had four sons. Among the people of Silla, these four sons were all brave and famous generals.

Among them, the eldest son Li Suigang is known as Li Shunchen's successor. It is for this reason that he was appointed as the leading coach this time.

"Young Marshal, Youdu Prefecture is just around the corner. The Dashi Army is retreating to Youdu Prefecture. Could this be a trap?" At this time, a general next to Li Suigang spoke up.

When the others heard this, their expressions varied, but everyone felt that something was fishy. After all, logically speaking, the Dashi Army shouldn't be so vulnerable.

The two sides didn't even meet, and when the other side heard the army's attack, they simply abandoned the various sentry towers outside the Nether City Palace. It looked like they were retreating in defeat.

Li Suigang heard this and showed disdain on his face. He said coldly: "It's a trick! What tricks can they play in front of me! Father is too cautious. In my opinion, 300,000 troops should go straight to Youdu Prefecture and seize it with the power of thunder. Then, they should march straight in and destroy a small Daxi. Why be so cautious!"

As soon as he said this, a general beside him said quickly: "Young Marshal, you must not underestimate the enemy. In the battle two years ago, none of our vanguards survived. That battle was too strange. The Dashi Army will definitely not be so simple."

"Hmph... If the general had not been too cautious and afraid of Dashi, he would not have retreated. Who knows, Dashi would have become a part of Silla by now!" Li Suigang said disdainfully upon hearing this.

When the generals heard this, some of them hesitated to speak and looked at Li Suigang with complicated eyes.

Although, among the people of Silla, Li Suigang seemed to have won several battles, but who would have known that the reason why these battles were won was entirely due to Li Shunchen's reputation. The other side did not dare to resist.

To be honest, among the four sons of Li Shunchen, Li Sui was the most incompetent one, but he was very good at disguising himself, and even Li Shunchen felt that his son was really powerful.

Therefore, this is why his son became the commander of a 100,000-man army. Even before arriving at Youdu Prefecture, he already looked down on others.

However, it is not surprising that Li Suigang underestimated the Dashi Army. It was because they had fought against the remnants of the previous dynasty and the Jurchen tribe in recent years, which had brought out their arrogance.

They already felt that they were invincible. In addition, the fact that the Dashi Army fled without a fight this time made them suspect that the Dashi Army was afraid of their reputation.

"Order the army to speed up the march. This young commander must reach Youdu Prefecture before the afternoon and take it down as quickly as possible. In this way, your father will adopt my suggestion and take the land east of Daxi as quickly as possible, and then send troops to Dayan."

"Now, my Silla has a million soldiers, and it is no problem to capture Dashi and Dayan!" Li Suigang said coldly.

As his voice came out, all the generals quickly obeyed the order, and the army quickly sped up and rushed towards Youdu Mansion. As they got closer and closer to Youdu Mansion, the faces of the Silla army soldiers were full of excitement. They were almost shouting.

In their opinion, the Dashi Army was afraid of them and didn't even dare to fight them. After arriving at Youdu Prefecture this time, the Dashi defenders of Youdu Prefecture would definitely be so scared that they would open the city and surrender.

Thinking of this, the morale of the entire army was raised to the extreme, and the marching speed was more than doubled.

At this time, on the city wall of Youdu Prefecture, Jiang Fan, Niu Wu and Zhou Zheng were looking at the army rushing towards them. Niu Wu and Zhou Zheng had serious expressions on their faces.

Although they were prepared to annihilate these 100,000 people, they were worried that the 200,000 troops in the rear would be frightened and flee after learning about the battle in Youdu Prefecture.

Others were worried about not being able to wipe out 100,000 people, but they were hesitating about how to prevent the army behind them from knowing after they had wiped out 100,000 people.

After all, that's how the Silla people are. When they feel they can bully you, they act arrogantly. When they feel they can't bully you, they turn around and run away, or even kneel down and beg for mercy. They don't even care about their dignity.

Jiang Fan was a little amused when he saw the two people's solemn expressions. Others would only worry about not being able to win, or being afraid of the enemy.

But they were the other way around, they only worried about how to wipe out the enemy completely, fearing that they would scare the enemy.

"Let's delay for a few days and wait for the army to arrive before we encircle them!" Jiang Fan looked at Niu Wu and Zhou Zhengdao.

Niu Wu and Zhou Zheng's eyes lit up when they heard this. They were only thinking about annihilating the enemy and didn't expect to show weakness to the enemy.

First make the enemy feel that they can attack the city, but it is difficult for the enemy to attack. Once this situation occurs, the 200,000 troops in the rear will rush to help.

By then, at least 100,000 of the 200,000 troops had arrived, enough to carry out a siege.

"Your Highness still has a way... Then, let's let them have some fun first and give them some confidence..." Niu Wu looked at the approaching Silla army with some sinister eyes.
