The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

"Oh?"

Ren Tianye was overjoyed and asked, "Wang Ming, are you really willing?"

"Your subordinate is willing!"

Wang Ming's face was resolute.

"Good!" Ren Tianye praised. As expected of the person he thought the most, he was kind-hearted and willing to stay behind to resist Song Wan's army at the critical moment.

This scene made Zhang Shi feel a little regretful.

He should have volunteered.

You're not afraid of death, so why don't you have the guts to take a gamble?

"Wang Ming, come here." Ren Tianye called Wang Ming to his side and said, "Of the five thousand men I left for you, I can only give you a maximum of one thousand armored soldiers, to be combined with the four thousand garrison troops of Sifang City."

"But that's far from enough."

"The fact that Song Wanneng arrived so quickly shows that he is no ordinary person and has struck our weak point with one blow."

"I foresaw that he would not attack Sifang City, but would instead follow me directly to prevent me from rescuing Yunji City."

"Therefore, your mission is not only to defend Sifang City, but also... to thwart Song Wan's attack from behind the Northern General's rear!"

"Did you understand?"

Wang Mingyi Ling.

He hadn't expected the military situation to be so complex, but he gritted his teeth and said, "General, rest assured, even if I have to fight to the last man, I will definitely stop Song Wan!"

Ren Tianye didn't mince words: "You must hold out for fifteen days."

"If you hold out for fifteen days before Song Wan's army pursues you, you will be a great hero in this battle."

"Yes!" Wang Ming gritted his teeth again: "Your subordinate will definitely hold out for fifteen days, preventing Song Wan from advancing an inch beneath this city wall!"

Ren Tianye patted him on the shoulder and told him to get ready.

Wang Ming dared not be careless in the slightest, and even felt a little panicked.

This was the first time he had faced such a large-scale battle, and as the commander-in-chief, he naturally had to do his best. Immediately, he began to plan with all his might.

"General Wang Ming..."

Su Jin burst in from outside the door: "I have a question for you, General. Could you please answer it for me?"

"What?" Wang Ming didn't have time to pay attention to Su Jin, but he was a soft-hearted person, so he patiently listened to Su Jin's question.

"Who is Song Wan, who is pursuing us?"

When she asked those words, Su Jin's body trembled slightly, fearing that the answer she received would be the same as she had imagined.

"Ye Fan's man is said to be a handsome young man, but he is taciturn and speaks coldly. However, he is extremely brave in battle. After all, he was able to fight for Ye Fan with an army of fifty to sixty thousand. His strength should not be underestimated!"

Su Jin's head suddenly exploded.

A handsome young man, rarely smiling, and speaking coldly.

These adjectives perfectly captured the image in her heart, so much so that she couldn't help but wonder if this Song Wan was...

Is this the Song Wan she's been dreaming of?!

With a determined look, Su Jin knelt down and pleaded, "General Wang Ming, I wish to stay and guard this city with you. Please grant me your permission."

"You want to stay?"

Wang Ming was somewhat surprised.

You must know that with Song Wan's army attacking, Sifang City was in grave danger, and anyone who stayed behind risked their life. Yet Su Jin wanted to stay.

"Could it be that they feel the Su family's actions have angered the General, and they want to use this to gain merit?"

As Wang Ming speculated, he felt a pang of sympathy for the Su family.

After all, he had always seen Su Jin and Su Hong's loyalty and reliability; it was just that Su Xiu from the Su family was too outrageous and messed things up.

He sighed and said, "Alright, since you have such intentions, I will let you stay."

"You don't need to plead with the General. I will do it for you. I believe the General will agree to such a small matter."

Su Jin quickly thanked her and left.

He helped Wang Ming organize military affairs and watched with Wang Ming see Ren Tianye off with his army, leaving him alone to guard the city.

The peace in the city did not last long before a scout quickly reported back.

"General, Song Wan's army is less than ten miles away!"

"General, Song Wan's army is less than five li away!"

"General, Song Wan's army is less than three miles away and shows no sign of stopping!"

……

One message after another arrived rapidly, surprising Wang Ming. Song Wan had arrived incredibly fast, practically at lightning speed!

and,

They've gone less than three miles now and haven't stopped moving.

Therefore, it can be basically concluded that...

"Just as the general said, Song Wan had no intention of attacking Sifang City at all."

"His goal is to follow and pursue the Great General!"

Wang Ming quickly began his analysis.

It was clear that Song Wan already knew about the attack on Yunji City by the barbarians, and he immediately devised a tactic to deliver the most devastating blow.

"That's amazing!"

"But don't even think about going there!"

"Leave the city! Engage in battle!"

Without hesitation, Wang Ming ordered that, apart from two thousand men guarding the city, all the rest of the men be deployed outside the city, intending to use three thousand men to hold off Song Wan's army of fifty to sixty thousand!

The iron hooves clattered, the waves surged.

The dust kicked up in the distance grew increasingly intense, gradually threatening to engulf the sky, indicating that Song Wan's army had already closed in!

but,

Song Wan's army did not stop for the slightest.

Moreover, instead of bypassing Sifang City, they headed straight for the three thousand garrison troops under Sifang City.

Wang Ming was shocked to see this.

At this moment, he finally understood all of Song Wan's intentions.

Song Wan's goal was to launch a surprise attack on the more than 30,000 men led by the Grand General, and that was correct.

However, Song Wan anticipated that the garrison inside Sifang City would come down to stop him, which caused his primary objective to change.

First, wipe out the defending troops under the four walls!

We can quickly occupy the Four Directions City!

Then, they immediately pursued and killed the general!

"Impressive! No wonder the General gave him such detailed instructions; this Song Wan is truly a military genius!"

Wang Ming understood the enemy's intentions, but it was too late to make any further plans. The only thing he could do now was to fight to the death!

Three thousand against sixty thousand, fight to the death and never retreat!

Let's use our blood to buy time for the general!

"My soldiers, follow me into battle!"

Before he finished speaking, Song Wan's army had already charged in.

The two sides clashed instantly.

Just as a bloody battle was about to erupt, on the city wall, many soldiers, under Su Jin's command, shouted in unison, "Song Wan, Su Jin is here!"

"Song Wan, Su Jin is here!"

"Song Wan, Su Jin is here!"

Three shouts, all exactly the same.

All the soldiers shouted together.

The sound carried far and wide.

Almost immediately after the shout, a drumbeat signaling a halt to the attack suddenly sounded from Song Wan's army's banner, and in an instant, the drumbeats shook the heavens and the earth!

Song Wan's army had already clashed with Wang Ming in close combat, their eyes blazing with murderous intent, when they heard the drumbeat and immediately stopped!

Without the slightest pause!

This shows how strict Song Wan was in disciplining his troops.

Then, a road was seen parted from the army, and a young general in silver armor and plain clothes, holding a bright silver spear, came running wildly!
