The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

At dawn on the third day, Li Sui just woke up from his anxiety. The first thing he did when he got up was to ask whether the reinforcements had arrived.

But the answer he got was that there was no sign of reinforcements, and no one even came back to report the news, which shocked him.

"How is it possible... Logically speaking, the reinforcements should have arrived last night at the latest. Even if they were resting last night, they should have sent someone to notify us in advance this morning. Why didn't they even send a messenger to warn us? Why is this happening!"

Li Suigang was muttering to himself for a while. The generals beside him were also confused, but they were unable to remind him.

Most of the generals under Li Suigang were flatterers, and those who were really capable of fighting were either demoted due to jealousy or squeezed out.

"Young Marshal, maybe you are too tired from marching and have been delayed... We should have news soon! Why don't you wait a little longer?" A general spoke up to comfort him.

As this person spoke his words of comfort, the others quickly followed suit. Li Suigang's expression improved slightly after hearing this.

At the same time, fifty miles away from here, Li Shunchen's 100,000 troops were resting here, and 50,000 troops on the left and right were resting on the two wings.

In this way, a three-sided mutual support situation is formed. Once one side is attacked, the other two wings can provide assistance as quickly as possible.

Li Shunchen was a cautious person and would not attack easily unless he felt that he could win with lightning speed and absolute advantage. Otherwise, he would definitely observe again and again. Only after he was sure that everything was correct would he attack.

This is also the reason why it took three days for his army to arrive within fifty miles of Li Suigang's 100,000-strong army.

After resting for a night, he sent out messengers to Youdu Prefecture ahead, and at this time the scouts also brought back news that the surroundings and the front were safe.

The scout's reconnaissance range is a radius of 20 miles, which is actually enough. Even if the enemy attacks the army within a radius of 20 miles, he can find it in the first time and make a countermeasure.

After Li Shunchen got up, the first order he gave was to cook. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they rushed to Youdu Prefecture. It was noon, the best time to attack the city.

He looked towards the direction of Youdu Prefecture in the distance, with confusion in his eyes, but more of disdain.

He received information from his son that Youdu Prefecture was almost breached several times under his attack, but the enemy got a strange weapon that could explode from somewhere.

This thing blew up twenty siege vehicles, and they lost their powerful weapon for siege. Otherwise, the entire Youdu Prefecture would have been captured.

However, he still has nearly a hundred siege weapons in his hands. When the time comes, as long as these nearly a hundred siege weapons are used together, why would he worry about not being able to defeat You?

He was not worried about the opponent's strange weapons. Since the opponent had nearly a hundred siege vehicles, could the opponent destroy them all in a short period of time?

A hundred siege engines attacking the city together would definitely be able to capture Youdu Mansion in a short period of time. After all, twenty siege engines almost broke through Youdu Mansion. Let alone five times the number of siege engines!

He is very confident in his siege vehicle, and it is precisely because of this siege vehicle that he has achieved success today. The siege vehicle is his confidence.

Just as they were about to eat, suddenly, a scout rushed over.

"Oh no, Marshal. A large number of unknown troops have appeared on the left, right and front. They seem to be the army of Dayan..."

As the scout told the information, Li Shunchen's face changed slightly. He didn't expect that there would be enemy troops outside Youdu Prefecture.

If that was the case, then why didn't these enemy troops lift the siege of Youdu Prefecture, but instead attacked them?

Just as he was astonished, he saw countless flames suddenly shot up into the sky in front of him. The moment the flames rushed into the air, countless gorgeous fireworks exploded in an instant. It was really beautiful!

This is... He was surprised. Although he didn't know what that thing was, he had a vague feeling that it was not a good thing.

"Can you see the number of enemy troops clearly!" Coming back to his senses, Li Shunchen hurriedly asked the scout!

Although he was a bit of a fame seeker, he still had some ability, otherwise, he wouldn't have become a military god. If he was really a fool, no matter how powerful the weapon was, it would be useless!

"There are about 20,000 people on the left and right, and about 40,000 people in front!" the scout said hurriedly.

After hearing the scout's report, Li Shunchen frowned and was thinking about how to respond.

There are 20,000 troops on the left and right, and 40,000 in front, which means that the enemy has 80,000 troops, while our side has 200,000 troops. The central army has 100,000 troops, and the left and right armies have 50,000 each.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Order the left and right armies to meet the enemy and defeat them as quickly as possible. The central army should speed up and send out 60,000 men to meet them."

He left 40,000 people to guard him. If he found that the situation was not right, he would rely on these 40,000 people to escape from the scene.

He felt a little uneasy. The enemy only sent 80,000 men, which was really overestimating their capabilities. However, he was too cautious and always felt that there might be a trick.

Eighty thousand men divided into three directions to attack his army of 200,000. Unless the other side was seeking death or had someone to rely on, otherwise, what kind of coach would do such a stupid thing.

After giving the order, Li Shunchen immediately stood on the temporary sentry tower. The sentry tower, which was more than ten meters high, allowed him to see everything around him.

From afar, they could see large armies on both sides rushing towards them, and the armies on both sides rushed over to meet them as soon as possible.

On the central army side, 60,000 people quickly rushed out of the camp and attacked the 40,000 people on the opposite side. They also had a lot of cavalry. There were 30,000 cavalry on the central army alone. He sent out 20,000. There were 15,000 cavalry on the left and right sides.

The cavalry charge alone was enough to defeat the enemy. After all, from a distance, although it was not clear, it was possible to see that those people seemed to be all infantry.

A trace of sarcasm appeared on his lips, and there was a burst of contempt in his heart. It was the first time he saw infantry attacking head-on in broad daylight. Moreover, it was after the other party was well prepared.

If he were to lead his infantry to fight the enemy, he would of course choose a night attack, and would even send some people to set traps to deal with the enemy's cavalry.

But only a fool would attack straight ahead like this. He felt that the opposing commander was extremely stupid. He couldn't even fight a battle, yet he dared to charge into his army.

At the same time, in the 40,000 Yan troops ahead, Ning Pojun rode on a warhorse, his figure hidden behind the infantry. He used a telescope to look a few miles ahead, vaguely seeing a figure standing on the sentry tower, with a hint of teasing on the corner of his mouth.

He knew that the enemy might think that his attack was stupid. But how could the enemy know how powerful his army was? Such a strong army was fighting against a group of people with cold weapons. Did they need to launch a sneak attack? Did they need to dig a trap?
