I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian
Chapter 44: A Battle of Wits: Countermeasures in the Layout
The Eastern warrior fled back to the tent in shame, stumbling all the way and almost knocking the tent door off.
"General, something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!" He reported the "tragic situation" at the city gate breathlessly, like a plucked chicken.
When General Gongsun heard this, his face turned green.
"You useless piece of shit! You can't even handle such a small thing!" He threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground, and the fragments flew everywhere.
Ximen Counselor on the side stroked his beard and said sinisterly: "Don't worry, General. I have expected that those fence-sitters will change their stance according to the situation. However, I have a better plan..." He leaned close to General Gongsun's ear and whispered a few words.
General Gongsun's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he smiled sinisterly, "Alright! I'll do as you say! I'll show them the consequences of betraying me!"
Simon Counselor's plan was simple and crude but extremely vicious - to attack the families of those small forces.
He knew very well that in troubled times, family was the biggest weakness.
The news spread quickly throughout the ancient Dian Kingdom as if it had wings.
The small forces were in a panic. They originally thought that they could live a good life by joining the Queen, but they didn't expect that it would bring even greater disasters.
However, what they didn't know was that Agent Nangong had already seen all of this.
He shuttled through the darkness like a ghost and quickly passed the information to the queen.
When the Queen heard the news, she immediately sent out secret guards without any hesitation to protect the families of those small forces.
She knows very well that the people's hearts are the greatest force, and only by winning the hearts of the people can the ultimate victory be won.
General Gongsun's plot failed, and he was furious.
"What happened? How did my plan get leaked?"
Simon Counselor was also confused and couldn't figure it out.
"Is there a traitor among us?"
Just then, there was a commotion outside the tent.
A soldier ran in in a panic, "Report... Report to the general! Wumeng... Wumeng Tianlong..." The soldier's voice trembled, as if he had seen something terrible.
Zhaoyang Ruyue stood up suddenly, "What happened to Wumeng Tianlong?"
The soldier pointed outside tremblingly, "He...he came in alone! He said...he said he wanted to challenge the general!"
The tent was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
General Gongsun and Advisor Ximen looked at each other, and saw disbelief in each other's eyes.
Is this Wumeng Tianlong crazy?
Dare you break into their lair alone?
"Hahaha! If there's a road to heaven but you don't take it, then there's no door to hell but you'll find it!" General Gongsun came to his senses and laughed loudly, "Eastern warrior! Capture him for me!"
The Eastern Warrior took the order and left, rubbing his hands in anticipation, ready to teach this ignorant guy a lesson.
However, not long after, the Eastern Warrior was thrown back like a broken sack, fell to the ground, and couldn't get up for a long time.
Wumeng Tianlong held a long sword in his hand, the tip of the sword pointed at General Gongsun, his eyes as sharp as a knife, "Old thief Gongsun, your conspiracy has been exposed, why don't you surrender!"
It turned out that Wumeng Tianlong had long seen through General Gongsun's plan, and took advantage of the situation, pretending to be weak, and took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to launch a surprise attack.
He single-handedly defeated the guards and marched straight to General Gongsun's tent.
This battle was more of a one-sided crushing than a battle.
Wumeng Tianlong was agile and his moves were deadly. General Gongsun's soldiers were no match for him.
In the melee, Wumeng Tianlong was injured while trying to protect a little girl who was accidentally injured.
Zhaoyang Ruyue ran to him anxiously, gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, her eyes full of worry, "How are you? Are you okay?"
Wu Meng Tianlong held her hand and smiled weakly, "I'm fine, don't worry."
Their eyes met, and everything was said without words.
At this critical moment of life and death, their feelings became even deeper, as if they had been tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations.
At the same time, the Beitang envoy was spreading the news of General Gongsun's cruel methods according to the Queen's instructions.
As the news spread, many neutral forces began to feel dissatisfied with General Gongsun and turned against him.
General Gongsun was furious when he saw that the situation was hopeless, but he could do nothing.
He glared at Wumeng Tianlong and Zhaoyang Ruyue fiercely, gritting his teeth and saying, "You...you just wait!"
Seeing this, Ximen counselor hurried forward and advised: "General, as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no fear of running out of firewood. Let's retreat first!"
General Gongsun glanced at the wounded soldiers and then at the approaching Queen's army, and knew that the game was over.
He stamped his foot fiercely, "Retreat!"
Zhaoyang Ruyue looked at General Gongsun's fleeing back, a sneer appearing on the corner of her mouth.
She turned to look at Wumeng Tianlong, only to find that he was staring at a strange wooden sign in his hand with a frown on his face.
"What's wrong?" Zhaoyang Ruyue asked.
Wumeng Tianlong raised his head, his eyes full of doubt, "This wooden sign... I seem to have seen it somewhere..."
General Gongsun fled in panic, and after returning to the camp, he smashed everything in the general's tent to pieces.
"What a shame! What a shame!" He roared like a trapped beast, his face flushed red like a boiled crab.
Simon Strategist huddled in the corner, not daring to breathe, for fear of becoming the general's punching bag.
The news soon reached the ears of General Gongsun, saying that he was killed by Wumeng Tianlong single-handedly and fled in panic, leaving his armor and weapons in disarray. Now the entire ancient times are eating melons about him and treating him as a joke after dinner.
What's more, some people made it into a joke and sang it everywhere: "General Gongsun, with unparalleled martial arts skills, could defeat ten thousand enemies alone, but he had to flee in panic..." General Gongsun almost fainted after hearing this and almost vomited blood.
He flew into a rage, pointing his finger at Ximen Counselor's nose and cursing, "It was all your bad advice, you loser! Now I've become the laughing stock of the entire ancient world! What use do I have for you?!"
Ximen Strategist knelt on the ground trembling with fear, and hurriedly defended himself, "General, calm down! It's all because of that Wumeng Tianlong's cunningness. I... I didn't expect him to..."
"Enough!" General Gongsun roared, interrupting him. "The victor is king and the loser is a bandit. I, General Gongsun, am not one to be defeated! Pass on my orders, assemble all forces, I will capture the capital and avenge this humiliation!"
On the other side, the Queen received the news that General Gongsun was about to launch a general attack, and her expression became solemn.
Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong volunteered and proposed a bold battle plan - take advantage of the complex terrain of the capital, set up an ambush, lure the enemy deep into the city, and catch him off guard.
The Queen pondered for a moment and finally agreed to the plan.
She knew very well that this was a huge gamble, but it was also their only chance of winning.
"Alright! Let's follow your plan! Success or failure depends on this!"
Inside the capital, everyone was nervously preparing, and the atmosphere was so tense that one could hear a pin drop.
Wumeng Tianlong carefully marked the location of each trap on the map, while Zhaoyang Ruyue was responsible for coordinating the personnel from all parties to ensure that the plan was foolproof.
As night fell, the capital was shrouded in darkness, with only a few flickering fires, like dormant beasts waiting for their prey.
Wumeng Tianlong stood on the city wall, looking into the distance, and whispered: "They... are coming soon..." Zhaoyang Ruyue walked to his side, held his hand firmly, and did not speak. She just stood there quietly, waiting for the dawn with him.
Suddenly, Wumeng Tianlong's eyes became stern, and he grabbed Zhaoyang Ruyue's wrist and pulled her behind him.
"careful!"
A cold arrow, accompanied by the sound of wind, flew past Wumeng Tianlong's ear and hit the city wall, making a buzzing sound.
Zhaoyang Ruyue was still in shock, her heart was pounding, and she almost died.
"That was a close call!" Wumeng Tianlong cursed softly, his eyes scanning the figures that were about to make a move in the darkness. "It seems that the old thief Gongsun can't wait any longer and wants to launch a night attack!"
"Hmph, this insidious fellow!" Zhaoyang Ruyue quickly calmed down, her eyebrows raised, her eyes filled with fighting spirit. "That's exactly what I want! Tonight, let him see how powerful we are!"
Inside the capital, traps have been set, waiting for prey to take the bait.
At this tense moment, an unexpected piece of news came, which increased the Queen's chances of winning.
It turned out that not all of General Gongsun's men were united in the process of setting the trap.
Some soldiers had long been dissatisfied with General Gongsun's brutal rule, but they dared not speak out.
Now, seeing the benevolent and righteous actions of the Queen's side, the balance in their hearts began to tilt.
Under the secret instigation of Nangong's spy, some soldiers decided to abandon the dark and join the light, and secretly sent General Gongsun's troop deployment map to the Queen.
"God is really helping me!" Wumeng Tianlong looked at the deployment map in his hand, a cold smile on his face, "With this, we can catch the turtle in the jar and make it impossible for the old thief Gongsun to escape!"
Zhaoyang Ruyue couldn't hide her excitement either. She clenched her fists and said, "Tonight, let General Gongsun know what 'counterattack' means!"
As the night deepened, everything was silent except for the sound of the wind whistling over the city walls, as if foreshadowing the coming storm.
Suddenly, a deafening cry of killing came from afar, breaking the tranquility of the night.
"Here we come!" Wumeng Tianlong took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming as he said to Zhaoyang Ruyue, "Remember our plan, and proceed according to it!"
Zhaoyang Ruyue nodded heavily, her eyes firm: "Don't worry! I've been wanting to give that old thief Gongsun a 'surprise' for a long time!"
The two smiled at each other, turned and walked towards their respective positions, ready to face this fateful battle.
Outside the city, flames shot up into the sky, shouts of slaughter shook the earth. General Gongsun's army surged toward the capital like a tide, a vast, black mass stretching as far as the eye could see... Eastern warriors, riding tall horses, charged at the forefront, brandishing broadswords and shouting fiercely, "Brothers, charge! Break through the city gates and enjoy endless wealth and glory!"
On the city wall, Wumeng Tianlong looked at the gradually approaching enemy troops, his lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile: "Haha, the good show... has begun..."
