"Your Highness, I was so eager to save you that I never imagined she would deceive me," General Chen said, his face full of regret.

He considered himself a seasoned veteran, never expecting to be outmaneuvered by Song Siyao.

Now that things have come to this, it's no use for Wen Tao to blame General Chen anymore.

He looked at Song Siyao with a fierce gaze, "Song Siyao, you have the answer you wanted. You must keep your promise and let us leave."

"Hong Shao, release him!" Song Siyao did not want to kill Wen Tao here.

She wanted to kill Wen Tao on the battlefield in a righteous manner, to pay tribute to the spirits of her father and brothers, and to comfort the 50,000 heroic souls of the Great Zhou.

"Princess Ning'an, see you on the battlefield! I will show no mercy then!" General Chen said ruthlessly, knowing that Song Siyao would not take his and Wen Tao's lives at this point.

"I hope you give it your all, and I'll let you witness firsthand how you lose!" Song Siyao said.

That's why she let them go; she wanted to win back the war.

General Chen left with Wen Tao.

"Princess, what do we do now?" Hongshao asked.

"How much longer until General Jiang arrives?" Song Siyao asked.

Hong Shao replied, "At most three days."

“Three days is enough!” Song Siyao already had a plan in mind. “Let Cang Yue come.”

"Yes, county lord."

After a while, Cang Yue came over and asked, "Sect Master, what are your orders?"

Song Siyao handed the letter she had written to Cang Yue, saying, "Send this letter back to the capital as soon as possible!"

"Yes, Pavilion Master." Cang Yue accepted the order and left.

Wen Tao and General Chen returned to the Yan Kingdom's main camp and immediately summoned all the generals to discuss the next steps.

"Gentlemen, the battle we are about to face against the Great Zhou is a fight to the death! It will determine the victor. Does anyone have any good suggestions?"

Wen Tao's gaze swept across everyone's faces. He was panicking inside, but he pretended to be calm on the surface.

He must win this battle against the Great Zhou.

Otherwise, if he returns to the capital, he will have nowhere to stand.

"Your Highness, we outnumber them. Even if we fight head-on, the Great Zhou is definitely no match for us," General Chen said.

"Your Highness, we have already learned that the reinforcements from the Great Zhou have not yet arrived, and Princess Ning'an has only brought a small number of troops. We can strike while the iron is hot and attack tomorrow. We will surely be victorious!" said another adjutant.

"We might not necessarily win, right? In the Battle of Fengshadu, my Yan Kingdom had 20,000 soldiers stationed there, which was much more than the troops led by Princess Ning'an, but we still lost."

This sarcastic person is Wen Tao's mortal enemy.

Emperor Yan appointed Wen Tao as the commander-in-chief, but also sent others as his deputies.

Let them check and balance each other.

Wen Tao's expression changed slightly, and he gave the adjutant a cold look. The adjutant immediately said, "Your Highness, I am a straightforward person and do not beat around the bush. Please forgive me."

Now that things had come to this point, Wen Tao couldn't vent his anger.

"Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war; how can one judge a hero based on a single win or loss?"

Wen Tao said coldly, "I know you all have grievances against me, but now is not the time for infighting. We must work together to win this battle! This is not only for me, but also for the honor of the Yan Kingdom! If anyone deliberately causes trouble and sabotages the war, resulting in our defeat, who among you will be held accountable when my father, the Emperor, holds you responsible?"

The others remained silent.

Seeing that no one objected, Wen Tao knew he had impressed them, so he continued, "Now everyone, please share your thoughts. We will combine our opinions and choose the best strategy."

The generals each expressed their opinions, and after two hours, they came up with a solution.

Before General Jiang's reinforcements arrived, two days later, the Yan Kingdom launched an attack on Fengshadu.

The enemy is pressing on the city.

Two hundred thousand Yan soldiers surrounded Fengshadu, preventing even a mosquito from escaping.

Song Siyao and the others were trapped inside the city.

"Princess, what do we do now? Prince Cheng is leading his men in a frenzied attack on the city!" Hongshao said with a worried expression.

There were fewer than 10,000 soldiers in Fengshadu City.

If the Yan soldiers were to launch a full-scale attack, they could easily level Fengshadu.
