Chapter 591: Chapter 591: Crushing Defeat (7)_1

Lin Ziyin saw it all clearly. But she didn’t mind, she was well acquainted with Si Jinhan’s haughtiness. Such a proud person surely couldn’t accept the change in her status.

No matter, they would have plenty of opportunities to communicate more as time goes on.

Lin Ziyin always had a reserved personality and wasn’t someone who spoke a lot. Si Jinhan didn’t want to engage with her, which she didn’t mind, but she also wouldn’t take the initiative to approach her.

"The injured soldiers are Bayal’s men. With such heavy casualties, Bayal must be heartbroken. If the siege continues for a long time, Bayal will surely retreat. Because if the loss of troops is too severe, it will definitely affect the position of the Crown Prince in North Country," said Luo Heng, who had fought countless times with Bayal over the years. They knew each other well.

"Bayal, being self-interested, may be willing to withdraw temporarily, but Billy will not give up so easily." Situ Gong analysed with a grin.

If Bayal and Luo Heng are considered opponents, then Billy could be considered his opponent as well.

"Billy is headstrong and has been idolized all these years because of his State Preceptor status. This siege is something he approaches with the determination to win. How could he willingly give up in the face of defeat?"

"Flank their forces with the ballista and the Stone Thrower," Chu Suifeng ordered. He no longer exuded the gentleness he shown towards Lin Ziyin, instead, he exuded decisiveness and a sense of bloodlust.

"Yes, Prince," a general agreed enthusiastically as he went to make the preparations.

The remaining generals had smiles on their faces. The improved Stone Thrower was much more powerful than the original, and they had all seen what it could do. It remained unused since the beginning of the war, which they all found regretful.

Ha, to be able to use it, it’s fantastic news. This time they would definitely give the savage Tatars a run for their money.

"Prince, Mr. Situ, what are the Tatars doing?" One of the generals who was monitoring the enemy’s movement suddenly asked. Chu Suifeng and the others hurried over to the battlements as soon as they heard this. Si Jinhan, on the other hand, tensed up, muscles stiff in alert.

The fellow had switched into alert mode.

Along with everyone, Lin Ziyin also went to the battlements.

Below the city walls, the soldiers of North Country were busy.

Looking at the busy soldiers, Lin Ziyin’s eyes tightened, with a thought flashing through her mind, could it be?

"Billy is really ruthless." Before she could voice her thoughts, Situ Gong beat her to it, "He actually plans to use corpses to attack the city walls."

Indeed, many Tatar soldiers were piling up the dead bodies below the city walls.

War is so cruel, if it were possible, Lin Ziyin wouldn’t want it to happen at all. However, she also knew that this thought of hers was merely a beautiful wish.

With a slight sigh, she spoke, "Prince, if they plan to climb over the corpses. You can use fire attack."

"Prepare the torches," Situ Gong essentially said the same thing at the same time.

The two of them had the same idea, and Situ Gong gave her an approving smile, "The things the Princess brought have been a great help."

"You’re too kind, Sir," Lin Ziyin replied.

Si Jinhan seemed to dislike the sweet talk between them and coldly said, "Prince, if the enemy stays below the city, the Stone Thrower can’t be used."

"No worries," Chu Suifeng calmly replied, "Once the fire starts, they’ll have to retreat whether they want to or not."

No one understood the Stone Thrower better than Lin Ziyin. Because the Stone Throwers on the city wall were successfully improved under her direction. Even though the Stone Thrower’s power had increased, she was powerless to help with the issue of angle.

The people of North Country were now gathered beneath the city where the Stone Thrower had a blind spot. Even the best things are useless if the angle isn’t right.

"First use the crossbowmen, then the Stone Thrower," Lin Ziyin said. Situ Gong was a cunning strategist, every step in his handling of the battle development and troop deployment was spot on, such as the city defense battle today.

Unfortunately, after having seen modern warfare, Lin Ziyin felt a slight regret about the current battle. How great it would be if they had an air force, they could easily deal with these savage Tatars.

"This time, I’m going to make sure these Tatars all drop dead," a general excitedly waved his arm, eager to join the fight.

"Losers, dare even to disturb us," he sneered.

...Their victory in the previous two battles undoubtedly boosted the morale of the Northern Soldiers.

"Don’t be complacent, Bayal is no pushover. When they retreat, the cavalry and archers should lead the charge out of the city, followed by Si Jinhan and General Luo Heng with their troops. The rest of the soldiers should follow closely," Chu Suifeng ordered.

Lin Ziyin approvingly listened as he calmly and carefully arranged the troops. Chu Suifeng was definitely a Prince who had been through battles, both his abilities and strategies were top-notch.
