At the same time, outside of Dongning City, the army was ready to set off and annihilate the army of Beiyue Country in one fell swoop.

Rows of troops were lined up neatly. Fang Zinan looked at them and said in a deep voice: "Today, we are going to destroy the Northern Yue's army. This is a tough battle, we have to go all out!" Do you understand? "

"We understand!" The soldiers said in unison.

Fang Zinan glanced at Xiao Tianyuan: "Are we leaving now?"

Dong Fang Luo Li suddenly stood up, "Reporting to the general, I want to spy on the military and contact our old tribe. When that happens, we will work together and I believe that we can definitely annihilate the army of the State of Bei Yue!"

Fang Zinan thought for a bit, "That's good too. You go scout the military intelligence first. If there is any news, we can attack as soon as we see the signal!"

"Yes sir!" Dong Fang Luo Li ordered, leading a group of elite soldiers.

When Fang Zinan saw this, he instructed Xiao Tian Yuan: "General Xiao, send some men to deploy. As soon as we receive the news, we will attack. General Hai, send some people to guard behind us to guard against any enemy attacks! "

Xiao Tianyuan and Hai Yue accepted the order and left.

Fang Zinan thought for a bit, then he brought a team of people to the front, ready to deal with Dongfang Jingli at any time.

It was already morning, and the army was ready outside of Dongning City. They only needed to wait for Dong Fang Luo Li's signal to be ready to attack at any time.

Fang Zinan sat on his horse and had already waited for two hours, but there was still no news of Dong Fang Luo Li. On the surface, he looked calm, but he actually felt that something was wrong.

"All of you, follow me to the front to take a look." Fang Zinan said this and planned to get closer to see the situation.

"General, this is too dangerous!" the soldier beside him advised.

Fang Zinan did not think so, "Princess Liu Li has been gone for so long, but there is still no news. I'm afraid things have changed." As he spoke, he led the group of soldiers in the direction of Eastcalm City.

He hadn't walked far when he suddenly heard the sound of swords and guns coming from the forest. He couldn't help but say, "Everyone be careful, just in case something changes!" He said to the soldiers beside him, "Follow me." Then he jumped off his horse and walked deeper into the forest. He wanted to see what would happen.

Just as they entered the forest, they saw two pairs of troops fighting. They could clearly see that there was a group of pursuers blocking the front of the group. Who else could it be other than Dongfang Jingli who was running in front?

Fang Zinan was shocked: "Princess Liu Li!" He quickly went to help Dong Fang Luo Li.

Dong Fang Luo Li also saw Fang Zi Nan and shouted: "General!"

The pursuers behind them were shouting, "Don't let them escape!" He waved the weapon in his hand and chased after them.

Seeing this, Fang Zinan waved the sword in his hand, instantly killing several people. The soldiers behind him also took out their weapons and started to fight with the enemies.

Fang Zinan was a master of martial arts. With just a few strikes, he had completely defeated the pursuers. The rest of the pursuers saw that they were no match for Fang Zinan, and they all clutched their heads and fled.

Dong Fang Luo Li secretly praised, and she couldn't help but admire Fang Zhenan even more.

Seeing that the enemies were either running or killing them, Fang Zinan no longer posed any threat. He turned around and asked: "Princess Liu-Li, are you alright?"

Dong Fang Luo Li shook her head: "I'm fine." Looking at the dead soldiers on the ground, he could not help but feel sad, "I was planning to investigate the military intelligence of the old tribe but I was discovered by the enemies and they even sent people to kill us! "Thank goodness we met the great general. Otherwise, I might not have been able to escape this calamity."

There was an apologetic look on Fang Zinan's face as he said, "It's all my fault. If I had known about this earlier, I wouldn't have sent the princess to spy on the military. Furthermore, I would have put her at risk!" It's really my fault! "

"Great General, please don't say that," Dong Fang Luosi cast a glance at him. "Earlier, we saw the Grand Preceptor's troops everywhere in Dongning City. Although the Beiyue Kingdom has lost its power, the Grand Preceptor's forces shouldn't be underestimated.

"Princess is right, we cannot attack recklessly." Fang Zinan nodded in agreement. "Princess, we should go back first and think things over."

When Fang Zinan brought Dong Fang Luo Li back to the camp, Xiao Tian Yuan and co. were anxiously waiting for him. When they saw them, they couldn't help but step forward and ask: "What happened?"

"Princess, you've encountered an enemy hunting you down …" "In addition, Dongning City is extremely well-fortified. I probably won't be able to take down the city in a short period of time." Fang Zinan was a bit disappointed.

Xiao Tian Yuan raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "It's good that the princess is fine. Let's return to the tent to discuss the military situation."

"Alright!" Fang Zinan nodded and brought Dong Fang Luo Li into the big tent.

"Ladies and gentlemen, according to the military intelligence that the princess has scouted, the main force of Beiyue Country is currently being defeated and defeated, but there are still the Grand Preceptor's men and horses in Dongning City. There are plenty of food and soldiers in the city, and if we attack forcefully, it will be difficult to win!" Fang Zinan looked at the crowd, "I would like to hear what ideas you have."

Hai Yue thought for a moment, then stood up. "Since we can't fight head on, why not just wait and see?"

Fang Zinan smiled, "You mean to say that the army has trapped East Peace City? "Wait until the enemy's grain is exhausted, and then we will go all the way in?"

"No way!" Dongfang Ming was the first to oppose.

"Why?" Dong Fang Luo Li asked, puzzled.

"Everyone in Dongning City is a subject of our country. If we do this, although we can win, the citizens of the city will suffer heavy losses! This King really doesn't want to see the citizens suffer anymore! " Dongfang Ming was also worried that the Grand Preceptor would use all these people as hostages, but he didn't dare to say anything about the fact that there were many imperial clansmen in the city. He was afraid that the Grand Preceptor would use them as hostages …

Fang Zinan's brows slightly creased. "King Dongyu's words make sense. Although General Hai's method is feasible, I'm afraid he will suffer a great number of casualties!" When war breaks out, the ones who bear the brunt of it will be the commoners. I also do not wish to see the commoners suffer! "

Hai Yue took a glance at Fang Zinan: "Then what is your intention, Great General?" How are we going to attack the city? "

General Hai, I plan to first annihilate the reserve troops that are retreating outside of the city. According to the map provided by King Dongyu and Princess Liu-Li, I will first surround Eastcalm City, then send some people to shout for help to welcome the commoners that are planning to flee.

"Now that we have cut off the enemy's tail, and the enemy is terrified, why should we attack a small number of troops outside the western border?" Hai Yuejian objected.

Fang Zinan smiled. "General Hai, although the troops outside the city are few, they are well-equipped. The first thing we need to do is to ensure that when our troops attack the city, they will no longer be able to support the enemy. At the same time, we can reduce the casualties of our troops."

Hai Yuheng, on the other hand, disagreed with Fang Zinan's suggestion, "The troops are too fast, and they have to attack without any preparation. According to the general, not only does the attack speed slow down, but the enemies in the city are prepared as well."

"General Hai is right. However, we have to use the smallest sacrifice in exchange for the greatest victory. Moreover, King Dongyu didn't want the citizens of the city to be implicated, so he did so." Although they were both generals in the army, Xiao Tian Yuan did not approve of the idea of travelling across the sea.

Hai Yue nodded her head. "Since the Great General and King Dongyu both feel this way, then I have nothing else to say. Tomorrow morning, I will lead the troops to eliminate the reserve forces outside the city. After that, we will try to annihilate the enemy forces."
