957 Night Before the Final Battle (1/2)

Chapter 957 – Night Before the Final Battle

Juedai Fenghua's suggestion tempted Di Chen and the others.

The few of them discussed and also invited Lianpo and the other generals to simulate the battle. In the end, they all agreed to her plan and even gave it a really cool name - Dragonslayer.

Once Zhan Lang and the others left, Juedai Fenghua was a little worried, ”Is it really okay for us to move 50 thousand troops?”

As Pill Sun City was unable to assist Swordsman City, Di Chen as the boss naturally needed to step up and do his part. As a result, he moved 50 thousand troops in one go.

”Is there any movement over at Stone City?” Di Chen asked.

”It's calm.”

”Then there should not be a problem. Wufu has no courage.”

”Let's hope so!”

For some reason, Juedai Fenghua was still feeling a little uneasy.

************

10th month, 14th day, Swordsman City.

At 9 AM, the 150 thousand troops from the various Yanhuang Alliance territories all teleported over to Swordsman City. Along with the army was general Lianpo.

They needed a good general to command such a large scale battle.

Chun Shenjun's Tian Dan was still in Xiangnan Province, while Wuqi was still locked in a standstill against Sun Bin. As such, neither of them could come over.

The only general they could use was Lianpo.

The sudden appearance of 150 thousand troops would still cause a lot of noise no matter how hidden they tried to be. As such, they were noticed by the Shanhai Guard spies.

Lianpo also did not think about purposely hiding it.

From what Di Chen said, ”This is a proper all out brawl; there's nothing to hide.”

Baiqi was still thousands of miles away, and Great Xia could not move any reinforcements in such a short few days. No matter what, this battle was a destined one that no one could stop.

Feng Qingyang had gotten the news and happily welcomed Lianpo into the City Lord's Manor.

The waves that rose up from the Xiangnan Province battle worried Feng Qingyang the most. He knew that he had the highest chance of being abandoned by the alliance, so he could not sleep well for a consecutive few days.

Within the City Lord's Manor, Wei Yan, Zhao Yun, and Pang Tong were all waiting. As the Lord, Feng Qingyang introduced them one by one to Lianpo.

As one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, no one would oppose the decision if he became the main general. Zhao Yun and Wei Yan would rather be the deputies and participate in the discussions about the battle.

360 thousand against 220 thousand; in terms of numbers, the Alliance Army had the advantage. However, they were far from having an overwhelming majority. As such, it was still going to be difficult to win this battle.

Before coming, Di Chen and the others had come to the consensus that they did not wish to fully annihilate the Dragon Legion Corps. They only needed to force them back so that they could not threaten to destroy Swordsman City.

Basically, with such a strategic consideration, Lianpo said, ”In the final battle, our army will put our main focus on their wings to force them to squeeze toward the middle and eventually retreat.”

When Zhao Yun heard Lianpo's battle plan, he was unwilling.

Before coming, Liu Bei had instructed him to wipe out the enemy troops to the best of his ability.

Considering the situation, Zhao Yun did not oppose the plan. At most, he would viciously strike at the wings of the enemy tomorrow as a form of revenge.

Pang Tong, who followed Zhao Yun along, did not speak a single word either. His eyes showed that he was deep in thought.

...

With the meeting settled, the 150 thousand reinforcements did not stay in the city but moved outside. Even the 60 thousand troops led by Wei Yan followed them out and got into formation outside of the city.

The 360 thousand strong army lined up, and their tents covered the entire field so that one could not see the ends of it.

The 150 thousand Shu Han army formed the left wing, the 60 thousand Swordsman City troops were in the middle, while the 150 thousand reinforcements served as the right wing. To provide the army with grain, Feng Qingyang had basically emptied the granary.

Lianpo was not slacking off. He merged the 150 thousand reinforcements while he created a command system in preparation for the battle tomorrow.

Luckily, this was not the first time that the troops of the Yanhuang Alliance had gathered together to fight. They were used to it and were comfortable with working another, so Lianpo did not need to worry much.

At 3 PM, with the accompaniment of Feng Qingyang, Lianpo went to inspect the battlefield.

The battlefield of the final battle was on the southern outskirts of Swordsman City. The entire south was vast. Apart from a few small hills, it was basically an endless plain.

The Shu Lands only had one rice season a year, and it was now the 10th month. As such, most of the crops had been harvested. The paddies were filled with random grass, and it was really muddy.
