Chapter 223 Does this county lady know you?
That night, Yan Wanwan distributed the looted food to the people in the city without reservation.
Bags of grain were unloaded from the wagons and piled high in the city square. Citizens rushed forward, their eyes filled with gratitude and joy. Children ran with laughter, clutching their hands of grain, while the elderly clasped their hands together and whispered prayers.
For a moment, the city was filled with laughter and joy, and it was extremely lively.
The commander defending the city strode up to Yan Wanwan and bowed deeply, his tone filled with admiration: "County Lady Yan, I am completely convinced! Your cunning plan not only solved our immediate crisis, but also directly broke the Northern Di's plan! I am completely impressed!"
The surrounding soldiers also gathered around, their faces filled with excitement and admiration.
A bearded general patted his chest and said, "Yes! County Master Yan, we are now convinced by you! If you have any plans next, just tell us and we will definitely help you with all our strength!"
Another young general waved his fist excitedly: "That's right! If anyone dares not obey your orders, I will make sure he knows why the flowers are so red!"
Everyone burst into laughter and the atmosphere was lively.
With these captured grains, the soldiers no longer had to worry about going hungry. They were in a good mood and gathered around Yan Wanwan to show their loyalty.
Yan Wanwan looked at the faces in front of her that were tanned by wind and sun, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
She raised her glass and said loudly, "This great victory over the Northern Di is thanks to everyone! I offer a toast to everyone and thank you for your heroic fighting!"
Everyone responded in unison, raising their glasses and gulping them down. As the wine went down their throats, a warmth spread straight to their hearts.
Yan Wanwan put down her wine glass and glanced at everyone, her smile still lingering: "Everyone, are you full?"
"We're full!" the soldiers answered in unison, their voices so loud that the snow on the city walls fell down.
Yan Wanwan nodded, a sly look flashing in her eyes: "Then I do have something else that I need to trouble you all for."
Upon hearing this, the soldiers were immediately cheered up and straightened their backs.
The bearded general patted his chest and said, "Please command me, my lady! We will not frown even if we face danger!"
Yan Wanwan smiled faintly, her eyes blazing with energy: "Alright! Then let's strike while the iron is hot and give Beidi another hard blow!"
At daybreak, three thousand elite soldiers returned to the city, exhausted and dusty, each with an expression of unconcealable excitement and pride on their faces. Their armor was smeared with mud, but their eyes gleamed with triumph, as if they had just accomplished something earth-shattering.
The commander guarding the city was bewildered by their appearance. He couldn't help but pull a soldier aside and ask, "What are you doing? Why are you all so secretive?"
The soldier covered his mouth and chuckled, then said in a pretentious tone, "Buddha said, it cannot be explained."
general:"……"
The next morning, Yan Wanwan ordered his men to leave the city and declare war, with only one goal - to lure out the Northern Di army.
The general defending the city was filled with doubts and could not help but step forward to persuade: "County Master Yan, we just fought a tough battle. Now we are facing the elite troops of the Northern Di. Isn't it a bit..."
Before he could finish his words, he felt sharp gazes falling on him, as if silently questioning his cowardice. The general fell silent and retreated awkwardly to the side, sighing inwardly: "Okay, can't we just not ask?"
On the city walls, the Daxia soldiers shouted loudly, using harsh words and resorting to extreme humiliation. The Northern Di army, indeed enraged, rushed out to meet the enemy. The clatter of horses' hooves shook the earth, and dust flew up. The Northern Di cavalry surged forward like a tide, their momentum fierce.
The Daxia soldiers stood on the city walls, their eyes gleaming with excitement instead of fear. They stared at the charging Northern Di cavalry as if they were not enemies but moving money bags, their greed and anticipation nearly overflowing.
Seeing the Daxia soldiers standing there dumbfounded, showing no intention of fighting, the Northern Di army immediately shouted, "Kill!"
In an instant, the Northern Di cavalry, spears raised high, transformed into killing gods, charged towards the Great Xia soldiers. Dust flew up, and the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, as if they were about to crush everything.
However, just as the Northern Di army was about to charge at the front of the Great Xia army, they heard an order from the Great Xia army: "Run!"
Suddenly, all the Daxia soldiers turned their horses and galloped away at an astonishing speed. Seeing this, the Northern Di army pursued them relentlessly, charging more and more bravely, as if victory was within reach.
The Northern Di general remained vigilant at first, but when he saw the Great Xia soldiers being routed, he couldn't help but feel proud. He shouted, "Chase! Don't let any of them go!"
However, as the pursuit deepened, the Northern Di general gradually became uneasy. He suddenly realized that something was wrong and shouted, "Stop! Everyone stop!"
Unfortunately, it's too late.
The Northern Di soldiers were already furious, their eyes bloodshot. Seeing that they were about to wipe out the Great Xia soldiers in one fell swoop, who would be willing to stop? No matter how the general shouted, the soldiers continued their mad pursuit.
At this moment, several soldiers who were left behind from Daxia looked at each other and sneered.
They suddenly turned their horses around and dispersed to the left and right.
Seeing this, the Northern Di generals were alarmed and shouted, "Be careful, there's a trap!"
However, before his warning could spread throughout the army, there were a few "whoosh" sounds, and countless arrows shot from all directions, falling as densely as raindrops.
The Northern Di cavalry was caught off guard, and screams rang out one after another. Many people fell off their horses and were trampled to death by the following horses' hooves. The scene was horrific.
The Daxia soldiers, standing high above, watched the Northern Di army fall into a trap and burst into laughter. This was the trap secretly set by their three thousand elite soldiers last night, and it had indeed worked, crushing the Northern Di army.
The Beidi generals were furious and quickly ordered a retreat. In just a moment, the Beidi army lost one-third of its troops, with corpses strewn all over the ground and blood flowing like a river.
In the next few days, Yan Wanwan achieved many unexpected victories, and the Northern Di army decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
With food supplies cut off and insufficient manpower, the Northern Di army finally could not hold on and sent envoys to seek peace.
Yan Wanwan sat in the tent, looking coldly at the Northern Di envoy: "Peace talks? Haven't you Northern Di always prided yourselves on your bravery and warlike prowess? Why, now you're asking for peace?"
The Northern Di envoy looked embarrassed and whispered, "County Lady Yan, please don't forget the agreement we made."
Yan Wanwan sneered, her eyes sharp as a knife: "Agreement? Does this county lady know you?"
The Northern Di envoy suddenly became anxious and said quickly: "You... didn't we agree on this?!"
Yan Wanwan stood up and said coldly, "It was the Prince of Dongping who made the promise to you, right? I, the princess, have never promised you anything. If you're not satisfied, go find the Prince of Dongping!"
This is hilarious! The agreement between you two is to kill my father, so how can I be nice to you? The reason we didn't fight at your doorstep is because everyone needs a break. Otherwise, you would be the one making such a fuss?
The Northern Di envoy's face turned red with anger and he was speechless for a long time.
"Alright, I don't want to hear your nonsense anymore. Go back and tell your king that if he wants to negotiate, he must come see me in person. Otherwise, I, Yan Wanwan, will lead my army straight to the Northern Di royal court!"
