Who put the yellow robe on me?

Jiang Chen stood on the wall of Liangzhou City, looking down at the Western Region army gathering in the distance, his face expressionless. After a night of redeployment, the entire Liangzhou City defense line had been adjusted, and every trap and ambush point had been carefully arranged.

"Come, Western Region, taste the gift I carefully prepared for you!" Jiang Chen muttered in his heart, his eyes firm.

Under the command of Jiang Chen, the Daliang army made comprehensive tactical adjustments.

The ambush troops on the western hillside had withdrawn to a more hidden forest in the east. The cavalry led by Zhou Liangwei also took a detour and quietly set up an ambush behind the enemy.

The fire attack strategy in the eastern woods was transferred to the entrance of the western mountains, preparing to launch a surprise attack when the enemy entered the valley.

Zhong Xiaodan stood beside Jiang Chen, observing the movements outside the city. He knew that after yesterday's defeat, the Western Region army would not be easily fooled and would make corresponding adjustments to deal with it. However, Jiang Chen's change of tactics was undoubtedly unexpected, enough to catch the enemy off guard.

"Your Highness, the enemy is gathering and seems to be preparing to launch a frontal attack." Zhong Xiaodan reminded in a low voice.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, a hint of calmness and confidence flashing in his eyes: "They won't just attack from the front. The traitor's intelligence must have made them prepared. This is the effect we want."

As expected, the Western Region army outside the city quickly took action. General Mammon stood on the high ground, his face gloomy. He carefully analyzed the intelligence provided by Lord Ji and decided to make adequate preparations before the attack.

"All troops, listen!" General Mammon shouted, his voice like thunder. "Eastern troops, bring your water bags and beware of fire attacks! Western troops, beware of traps and send spies to explore the way. Don't go too far!"

The Western Regions army began to advance cautiously according to the plan. Holding shields and carrying water bags, they marched cautiously to the east and west. Meanwhile, General Mammon personally took command of the front and prepared to launch a strong attack.

Seeing the enemy being so cautious, Zhong Xiaodan pointed to the distance and couldn't help but sneer: "Your Highness, look over there, it seems that the enemy has been fooled."

Jiang Chen did not answer, but continued to observe the enemy's movements. He knew that this was just the beginning and the real battle was yet to come.

As time went on, the Western Regions army gradually entered the ambush circle of the Daliang army. However, General Mammon was obviously very wary of the fire attack in the east and the traps in the west. They sent out a large number of scouts to explore the way and prevent ambushes.

Just when General Mammon was feeling proud of his own caution, suddenly, there was a loud bang in the valley on the west side, and rolling logs and huge rocks fell from the sky, hitting the unsuspecting Western army.

The enemy was caught off guard and their formation was thrown into chaos. Screams and the neighing of horses mixed together, and the situation became chaotic in an instant.

"What's going on?" General Mammon was shocked and turned to look at Lord Ji with anger in his eyes.

Lord Ji was also panicked. This, this, this... this is totally inconsistent with what my informant said to me.

Lord Ji hesitantly explained, "General, my informant said their ambushes are in the east and west. I really don't know... I don't know if they..."

"What don't you know?" General Mammon roared, glaring at Lord Ji fiercely, his eyes filled with anger. "You useless piece of shit! You've given us wrong information again! This time we suffered heavy losses. Tell me, are you a traitor to Daliang?"

As General Mammon and Lord Ji were facing off, Daliang cavalry suddenly attacked from the flank. Elite cavalry led by Zhou Liangwei penetrated the enemy's rear from the south, swiftly charging into the enemy camp. Amidst the flashing of swords and sabers, the enemy's command system quickly fell into disarray.

"Attack! Attack with all your might!" General Mammon roared, trying to reverse the defeat, but it was too late. The archers of Liangzhou City were already ready, and wave after wave of arrows poured down. Soldiers from the Western Regions fell one after another, and the battlefield was dyed red with blood.

"General, our army has been divided by the enemy. We can't fight any longer!" the deputy general shouted anxiously, his face filled with fear. "We must retreat immediately, otherwise our entire army will be wiped out!"

General Mammon's face turned pale, his fists clenched, and he wished he could chop Lord Ji down immediately. He looked at his defeated troops, his heart filled with anger and shame. "These cunning Daliang people! How dare you play tricks on me this time!"

Lord Ji was pale at this moment, standing aside and trembling. He knew that if he made another mistake, he might be killed.

General Mammon turned his head coldly, his eyes piercing Master Ji like a sword, and said in a cold voice: "Master Ji, if it weren't for the fact that you and the princess are brother and sister, I would have ordered someone to chop you down right now!"

Lord Ji quickly knelt on the ground and begged repeatedly, "General, please spare my life! General, please spare my life! It's my fault. I will immediately find out the enemy's deployment and avenge you!"

General Mammon was furious. He snorted coldly, waved his hand to signal two guards to lift Lord Ji up, and shouted, "Take him away! Tie him up!"

Lord Ji was escorted back by two guards, his face filled with fear and regret. He knew he was no longer valued by the military, and if this continued, death would be waiting for him.

At this moment, on the walls of Liangzhou City, Jiang Chen watched the Western Regions army retreat in disarray. His expression remained grim, but a sense of victory welled up in his heart. In this battle, he had successfully lured the enemy into a trap, severely damaging General Mammon's troops.

"Your Highness, the enemy has retreated and our plan was successful!" Zhong Xiaodan walked to Jiang Chen's side, his face full of excitement.

Jiang Chen nodded, his eyes still fixed on the retreating enemy troops. He slowly said, "This is their defeat, but it is by no means the end. The Western Region Army will not give up easily. Next time, they will definitely be more careful."

"Then how should we respond next?" Zhong Xiaodan asked.

Jiang Chen's eyes were penetrating as he said in a deep voice, "Continue to strengthen our defenses and closely monitor the enemy's movements. What we need to do is wait for them to reveal a flaw, and then defeat them in one fell swoop."

Zhong Xiaodan nodded in understanding. He knew that while this victory was inspiring, the battles ahead would be even more difficult. The soldiers of Liangzhou City couldn't afford to relax, as this war had only just begun.

In the distance, General Mammon's flag gradually disappeared on the horizon.

Jiang Chen took a deep breath, turned around and said to everyone: "Order the entire army to strengthen the defense to prevent the enemy's sneak attack!"

Although the soldiers in Liangzhou City had gone through a long and brutal battle, no one relaxed.

On the city walls, archers still gripped their bowstrings tightly, their eyes gazing sharply into the distance. In the stables, the neighing of war horses echoed one after another, as the cavalrymen hurriedly checked their equipment and repaired their armor.

Jiang Chen stood on the city wall, silently watching the enemy troops retreating in the distance, his heart filled with vigilance and worry.

Although they successfully used strategies to attack the Western Regions army, he understood that this only delayed time. The enemy's morale was only reduced, but the main force was still eyeing them covetously.

"Your Highness, what should we do next?" Zhong Xiaodan asked in a low voice. His voice was a little tired, but more of anticipation for the next plan.

Jiang Chen didn't answer immediately. He looked up at the gradually darkening sky, pondered for a moment, and said, "The enemy won't attack the city again tonight, so we have some time to rest. We need to readjust our defenses and make sure there are no problems at every key point."

Zhong Xiaodan nodded and said in agreement, "Your Highness is absolutely right. We must remain highly vigilant. The Western Regions people will not give up easily. Their next attack will probably be even more ferocious."

At this moment, a scout quickly ran up the city wall, his face pale and breathless, and reported: "Your Highness, there seems to be some movement in the enemy's rear. They are regrouping and seem to be preparing for the next attack!"

Jiang Chen frowned slightly. He had anticipated that General Mammon would not give up, but he had not expected the enemy to act so swiftly. He turned to Zhong Xiaodan and said, "Pass the order down. The entire army remains on alert and ready to meet the enemy's attack at any time. No one is allowed to let their guard down."

Zhong Xiaodan immediately took the order and left, personally ordering the entire army to be on high alert.

Jiang Chen stood on the city wall, looking at the faint flickering fire in the darkness in the distance, thinking about his next strategy.

If I were General Mammon, what would I do next?
