Chapter 507 The Super Sneaky General
Upon hearing this, Wang Bi, who was standing nearby, smiled and said...

"The Duke of Liang is indeed bold, but taking them all down will not be an easy task. The enemy numbers are numerous, and many of them are cavalry. If we were to take them down, we would inevitably have to pay a greater price, which would be a losing proposition!"

"It's a good thing we scared them away. They left behind so much loot, even flags. Maybe we can use that to our advantage!"

Lan Yu naturally understood what Wang Bi was thinking, but he felt that such a method might not be feasible.

The people in the Sultanate of Delhi are now on edge, seeing threats everywhere.

If there's no necessary reason, they probably wouldn't want to leave at all.

So if he wasn't mistaken, these people were probably already hiding inside and unwilling to move.

Even if they disguise themselves as reinforcements from the Delhi Sultanate.

I'm afraid these people might not dare to let these people in.

Unless Dobuaqiri himself is present, it would be extremely difficult.

"What you're describing is indeed quite difficult, but we can give it a try. If we succeed, it will be a great thing for us!"

Having heard this, he nodded. Not long after, the Ming army was preparing to attack.

The soldiers guarding the city were all in a state of panic, hastily preparing for battle.

Now that they've waited so long, the enemy has finally attacked. Well, even though so much time has passed, they still don't have much confidence.

Thinking that so much time had passed and their reinforcements still hadn't arrived, their eyes were filled with resentment. They should have arrived long ago, but they hadn't, which was truly infuriating.

The general guarding the city took a deep breath, his eyes filled with complex emotions. Now it was finally time to test him, and there was no time to hide.

Just then, an army suddenly appeared behind the Ming army. Seeing the flags fluttering above them, everyone was extremely excited.

It looks like they're their reinforcements.

"Great! The reinforcements have finally arrived!"

"With the support of these people, they no longer have to live in constant fear!"

At this moment, the general standing to the side looked at the general guarding the city and said.

"Now that our reinforcements have arrived, should we open the city gates to welcome them, or charge out and launch a pincer attack? We're absolutely confident we can defeat the Ming army!"

The general guarding the city frowned and thought carefully for a moment before speaking.

"Don't rush. The Ming army is extremely cunning. If it turns out to be one of their people trying to lure us out, that would be troublesome. So we must wait until we are absolutely certain before we act!"

Not long afterward, the army arrived at the city walls.

At this moment, the people below the city wall shouted loudly.

"We are General Feloigus's men, the vanguard of this support force. The main force is still behind. Please open the city gates immediately!"

The soldiers on the city wall were overjoyed to hear this.

Great, their reinforcements have finally arrived.

General Philoigus may not have had any particularly impressive military achievements, but he was still one of their own, and commanded a large army. As the vanguard, he certainly had a substantial number of troops. This time, they were confident of victory. However, at this moment, the general guarding the city frowned as he looked down from the city walls. He then asked the people below.

"Why are you the only ones here? Where is your general?"

Lan Yu, standing in the crowd, frowned. Sure enough, the outcome in his hands wasn't so easily deceived. After thinking of this, he said...

"My general has been rushing along the road and broke his leg, so he is resting at the rear. Please allow us to enter the city as soon as possible!"

"Otherwise, if the Ming army catches up, we might not be their match!"

Nevertheless, the general guarding the city still frowned, feeling somewhat worried.

The general standing to the side said with a smile.

"That Philoigus was a spoiled brat. If it weren't for his family's influence, how could he have become a general?"

"Now that we've had this battle, it's not surprising that he fell off his horse. I think we should let them in; it won't have much of an impact anyway!"

The general guarding the city was extremely conflicted. He bore a heavy responsibility, and even the slightest problem could have a huge impact. He did not want the capital to fall again under his command.

"Now that you have arrived, please set up camp outside. Don't worry, the Ming army is not numerous. Once the reinforcements arrive, we will be able to wipe them out. You can stay outside without worry; there won't be any problems!"

The general below the city wall felt somewhat dissatisfied after hearing these words.

"General, you're mistaken. We've been running all the way from the south to provide support, without even a rest along the way. We're exhausted now!"

"If the Ming army launches a surprise attack at this time, we will definitely not be able to withstand it. Let us enter the city first!"

At this moment, the soldiers on the city wall were also very puzzled. Now that their army had arrived, why not open the city gates and let them in? They didn't know what the general guarding the city was thinking.

Just then, the general guarding the city sighed and said...

"I'd rather miss something than let anything suspicious slip by. I absolutely cannot allow such a thing to happen while I'm in this position!"

"Therefore, everyone must be on high alert and absolutely cannot allow them to enter freely!"

The general standing nearby was extremely puzzled upon hearing these words.

"It seems our general is terrified. Could there possibly be any problem?" he said with a smile after thinking of this place.

"General, you are overthinking it. This is our territory, how could anything possibly go wrong?"

"The Ming army was never that large to begin with. According to the intelligence we have, they don't even have 400,000 troops. It's just that Prince Dobu Aqili lied about the military situation!"

However, the general guarding the city insisted on shaking his head, unwilling to let the troops in, and the others could only watch helplessly.

After all, His Majesty had entrusted everything to this leading general.

Naturally, they also needed to obey the orders of this general.

Seeing that their plan had failed, Lan Yu sighed and could only step forward and speak.
