Chapter 780: Chapter 780 When can Brother Ye come back?_1

"General Lu, do you think this plan is feasible?" Ye asked, indicating the strategy he’d drawn up. Explosives usually require water to be defused, but considering we are in the North Desert, water is in short supply. It’s likely there won’t be enough water to use so freely.

Ye believed that every explosive certainly has a fuse. If the fuse is extinguished, the threat is neutralized. He intended to send out a platoon of elite soldiers, each one bearing a bag of water, ready to douse any fuse they encountered.

Lu Jianxi contemplated, "My only concern is that the fuses could be buried in inaccessible locations. They may not be easy to locate."

"If this plan doesn’t work, we can resort to the second strategy, such as attacking from this side. The barbarians wouldn’t expect a change in our attack position, would they?"

"We still need to discuss a specific attack method. In this round, we must catch the barbarians completely off-guard!"

...

Dashun.

The second prince never anticipated that Dajin’s army would attack again so swiftly.

The casualties during the previous onslaught were dire. Now, to attack again so quickly seemed fearless, even reckless.

"Which direction are they attacking from now? No matter where they strike, I’ll bomb each one that comes. If two come, I’ll bomb the pair," the second prince declared as he stood.

He was both tall and muscular, with hair habitually tied into small whips that splayed out. Combined with his beast-skin robe, the man looked like a mountain, emanating a powerful aura.

A sinister energy interwove with this aura.

"Your Highness, the second prince, this time their target isn’t the city gates. Instead, they’ve chosen Shangzhi’s West Town."

"West Town?" The second prince’s face turned livid with rage. "Didn’t we assign people to monitor them? How did they get the chance to infiltrate West Town?"

"Your Highness, we indeed have been monitoring them closely. Last night, they still had their campfires lit and their tents set up. There were even guards on patrol. But their main force has already moved to West Town!"

"Damn it! Then why are we still talking? Go counterattack now."

The second prince only placed explosives around the city gates, neglecting to place any in West Town. Caught off guard, his forces were left defenseless against the Dajin army.

The battle raged on for two whole months.

Faced with the onslaught of the Dajin army, the second prince only had two options: to abandon Shangzhi and flee back to Dashun, or stay in the city, defending with explosives.

However, the rest of the defense force had been eradicated by the Dajin army. With only the city gates left, the prince had no choice but to call a retreat.

Once they had evacuated, the prince ordered his men to set off a chaotic chain of explosions. The entire city of Shangzhi was nearly leveled, leading to countless deaths and injuries.

But regardless, the people of Dashun were driven out.

Ye’s subsequent task was to rally the fortification of the city walls, aid the displaced residents in rebuilding their homes, and prepare for possible further invasions from Dashun.

...

By the time word of the battle in the North reached the capital, it was already autumn.

The Emperor was delighted and once again ordered the granaries to be opened. He encouraged the refugees who’d fled to the South to return and rebuild their homes.

The entire nation celebrated. Nangong Ye had become a household name in Dajin.

After enduring Dashun’s transgressions for over three years, losing three cities to them, it was unexpected that under Nangong Ye’s command, it took less than a year to retake their territory and successfully drive the barbarians outside the borders.

Upon receiving the news, Nan Feng immediately went to consult the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, when will my husband return to court?" Nan Feng inquired.
