"Reporting to Your Highness, I have sent someone."

Hearing this reply, Li Chen nodded in satisfaction and said, "Go to the central army tent immediately."

Inside the central army tent, when Li Chen arrived, it was already a cacophony of voices.

Li Chen entered, and Wu Qingcang, who was about to give orders, saw him and wanted to bow. Li Chen waved his hand and said: "Continue, I'll listen here."

Li Chen's words did not surprise Wu Qingcang.

But what he needed most at this moment was that very sentence.

This statement is directed to all generals, meaning that the prince will not interfere with Wu Qingcang's decisions in military command. The authority of military command rests solely with Wu Qingcang.

This is a great honor for any coach.

Taking a deep breath, Wu Qingscang looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, according to the intelligence we have gathered, the Liao army has split its forces for this battle. One route of 200,000 soldiers entered Wolong Mountain from Hu Tiya Cliff, while another route of about 150,000 will attack from Luofengpo in the southwest. The rockets we just saw were launched from the direction of Luofengpo."

“Now there are two things. First, how long can the 4,000 divine archers at Tiger Leaping Gorge hold off the Liao army Although the number of soldiers is vastly different, Tiger Leaping Gorge has a unique terrain. No matter how many soldiers the Liao army has, they can only stretch their lines along the rugged mountain path. Here, we don't aim to kill many Liao soldiers, but to inflict immense psychological damage on them. This will have an extremely important impact on subsequent battles.”

Second, could anyone tell me why the Liao army heading towards Luofengpo had so much tar!

"Even though the Liao army was clearly running low on supplies, how did they come up with so much tar! Three waves of arrows, anyone who has led cavalry archers for a few years knows that at least 150,000 arrows were used. Given the Liao army's skills in archery, it's not surprising they could put together such a large formation, but where did they get so much tar and arrows!"

"Right now, three waves of arrows rain down on Luofengpo. Our army has lost at least 30,000 men. Most importantly, the defenses of Wolong Mountain have been compromised. The breach is small, but it could lead to a catastrophic collapse! Who is the commander in charge of Luofengpo"

A general stood up with a grim expression, still covered in soot. "Reporting to General Wu, it's me," he said.

Wu Qingcang's eyes widened in fury, and he thundered, "With so many Liao troops concentrated at the front of Luofengpo, raining arrows down upon us, why didn't you detect it beforehand"

"Even the Liao army's best archers, with their arm strength, would have to shoot almost up to your camp to create such a wide-ranging rain of arrows. Why don't you know that!"

That general, trembling with fear, replied: "General Wu, it's true that the continuous fighting and high-intensity defense over the past few days have exhausted my men. Furthermore, the Liao army is extremely cunning; they constantly send small detachments to probe our defenses, leaving my scouts running themselves ragged and eventually becoming somewhat complacent..."

"Very good."

Wu Qingcang interrupted him, his voice stern: "Missing the opportunity to fight, bring him down and execute him!"

The general's face paled, and he hurriedly begged for mercy: "General Wu, this subordinate knows his fault, but please General Wu, considering that this subordinate has been fighting hard all the way, can you give this subordinate a chance to redeem himself... General Wu, I've been following you since Moonlit Pass! For many years, I haven't had any credit, but I have suffered hardships. General Wu, speak a word for me..."

He was begging for mercy, but Wu Qingcang remained silent. Immediately, his personal soldiers entered and dragged him away, and his voice gradually faded until it disappeared.son and the elders had a disagreement because of differing opinions. It's nothing serious."After Zhao Qinglan sat down, she said coldly: "This is very normal. Your father often argued with the officia...
