Chapter 765: Stepping Into the Battlefield (2)


Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation


Outside the tent, a messenger from Chu came to see him.


Li Xiao’s eyes moved.


lie comforted his wife and let her sleep first.


He went outside to receive the messenger.


“Greetings, Marshal Li.” The person was dressed neatly. It was obvious that he was a martial artist.


“Yes.” Li Xiao sized up the person who came and responded.


“The general sent me to inform Marshal Li…” Following that, the person swiftly relayed Yuchi Tianqiong’s message.


In general, Chu had already pretended to agree to cooperate with Jin. However, at the critical moment, they would honor their agreement with the Great Yan and launch a counterattack on Jin.


In addition, Yuchi Tianqiong had also sent news that Jin’s commander this time was Xu Yan.


This person had a strong desire to destroy the Great Yan. Yuchi Tianqiong hoped that Li Xiao would be prepared in advance.


“Jin will attack the city tomorrow night at Iron Gate Mountain. Please make preparations in advance.”


Li Xiao had a solemn expression on his face.


After pondering for a moment, he nodded.


“Go back and tell General Yuchi…” Then, he told them about his arrangements and the areas where he needed the Chu army to cooperate and help.


The person was surprised.


He admired Li Xiao’s arrangement.


“I will remember it.” Then, he hurriedly bowed to Li Xiao.


Li Xiao gave a few more instructions before having someone secretly send the messenger away.


Tomorrow night? They came quickly.


The next day, New Year’s Day.


Li Xiao ordered the army to improve their food. The soldiers did not train hard today, but they ate well. The army was in a festive mood.


However, this was only on the surface.


The officers of the various battalions had already received the news of the war preparations. They had prepared their weapons and defensive equipment. The soldiers who were going to partic.i.p.ate in the war had all entered a state of preparation and were preparing in their tents.


In the evening, it snowed heavily again.


Li Xiao’s face turned grave when he heard the rustling of snow.


At this moment, Lin Xiaoyue entered the tent with a heater in her hand.


“Quick, warm your hands.” She walked to Li Xiao’s side and handed him the hand warmer.


However, Li Xiao only glanced at it and did not reach out to take it.


Instead, he pulled his wife into his arms.


“You take it. The weather is so cold. Be careful not to catch a cold.” He was a man with thick skin and was not afraid of the cold.


His wife, on the other hand, had only been here for a day, and her face was already pale from the cold.


“I’m fine. I’m wrapped in several layers like a dumpling. It’s not cold.” Lin Xiaoyue replied.


“As for the soldiers, 1 just saw that many of them weren’t wearing cotton clothes-”


Before the Nangong Army left Qings.h.i.+ Town, Head Fang had made ample preparations. This time, he had prepared enough rations, weapons, and cotton clothes.


On the other hand, the imperial court army was in such a terrible situation.


In such cold weather, it would be difficult to maintain normal training without wearing cotton clothes, let alone go to the battlefield.


It was even possible to freeze to death or get sick.


Li Xiao frowned.


“The imperial court is in a tight financial situation and has already sent a large amount of military funds to the border. However, the expenditure here is too great. For the time being, there’s no way to keep every soldier from freezing.”


“I’ve already given the order. After nightfall, no soldiers without cotton clothes are allowed to move outside.”


“If tonight’s battle goes smoothly, while killing the enemies, the seized resources can also be used by the soldiers to alleviate the current predicament.”


“In addition, the imperial court has been thinking of ways to gather more resources for the border. The resources will continue to be sent over.”


When Lin Xiaoyue heard this, she felt a little more at ease.


She softened her body and leaned on Li Xiao’s shoulder.


“Will there be many people in the Jin army tonight?” He asked.


“Not too many and not too few.” Li Xiao replied.


“This is the first battle. In order to show off his power, Xu Yan will definitely want to take down Iron Gate Mountain in one swoop. Therefore, there will definitely be a lot of people.”


“However, Iron Gate Mountain is not big. In addition, he has to guard against Chu, so he won’t bet too many people. I estimate that about ten thousand soldiers will come.”


Lin Xiaoyue frowned.


“Only ten thousand?” Xu Yan had brought a total of 100,000 soldiers this time.


Even if they could wipe out these 10,000 people, there would still be 90,000 enemies.


Li Xiao smiled and glanced at his wife. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead.


“No matter how many, we’ll take them.”


“Ninety thousand left. We’ll slowly take wipe them out.”


“It’s best to wait until the difference in strength between the two sides is evened out. We also have the Chu army as an ally. At that time, it will be the death of Xu Yan.”


When Lin Xiaoyue heard this and saw Li Xiao’s confident face, she felt more at ease.


“Then I’ll go with you tonight..”
