I'll settle this grudge with you for a hundred years

Chapter 269 The plan begins

Aoi Jasmine was killing like a madman, and at the same time her own cultivation was constantly improving.

The island nation's troops returned victoriously all the way.

The officers who were celebrating their victory congratulated each other.

If we take over the city ahead, we will be able to enter the border of Jiang Province, and then we can occupy the southern part of Longguo.

Aoi Mari did not attend the celebration banquet. She vaguely felt that the next battle would not be so easy, so she studied maps and tactics in her room.

As expected, another wave of troops appeared in a battle in a city outside the border of Jiang Province. According to reliable sources, this army is called the regular army.

The regular army and the national army were in a fight with the island country's army. The Dragon Country's army adopted the tactic of advancing when the enemy retreats and hiding when the enemy advances. As a result, Aoi Mari rushed to the enemy's position several times but didn't find anyone. Even if she found someone, it was only a small group used for bluffing, which made Aoi Mari very annoyed.

The fight lasted almost two years for both sides.

One morning, Ryota Inoue received a telegram from the emperor of the island country, and anxiously knocked on Aoi Marie's door with the telegram.

Aoi Mari shouted with a look of irritation on her face: You'd better have something to do, or I'll make you leave without eating any beans.

Aoi Mari suddenly opened the door and saw Inoue Ryouta standing at the door with a dejected look on his face.

Aoi Jasmine asked curiously, "What happened? Did the other party call me?"

Inoue Ryota said with a sad face: I actually hope they attack us, so that we can fight them openly.

That is?

Aoi Jasmine asked in confusion.

Inoue Ryota shook the telegram in his hand and said; A telegram was sent from His Majesty the Emperor saying that the armies in other places were making great progress, but our team heading south had been stationary for two years without any news. The telegram also said that we would be given a month, and if there was no progress, we would be asked to resign and return to the country to report, and other commanders would take over.

After hearing what Inoue Ryota said, Aoi Mari was also stunned on the spot.

One month is an impossible task. We have spent more than two years here and have not come up with a better way to crack it. Others who come here may be even worse off than us.

There was a hint of anger in Aoi Mari's words, and her voice rose several decibels.

Inoue Ryota also agreed; Isn't it? Judging from the speed of advancement and the number of enemies killed, our team heading south is far ahead of other teams. Unfortunately, His Majesty the Emperor only cares about the results, he doesn't care about the process.

Aoi Jasmine breathed a sigh of relief, looking a little helpless.

Okay, I get it, let me think about it again.

After saying goodbye to Inoue Ryota, Aoi Mari leaned on the bed and began to think.

Is there any way to break through the defense line within a month?

Jasmine Aoi looked at the big tree outside the window, and suddenly she saw a snake fighting with a mother bird on the tree. The two sides were fighting back and forth, and behind the mother bird was a bird's nest. In order to protect her children, the mother bird was fighting desperately.

Later, the snake found that it could not gain any advantage by attacking head-on, so it started to use its tail.

The snake changed its strategy and used its tail to fight the mother bird. When the mother bird was concentrating on fighting the snake's tail, the snake's head passed under the tree trunk and went around behind the mother bird. The snake first swallowed the bird's eggs, and then seized the opportunity to attack the mother bird. The mother bird was attacked from both sides and was eventually defeated. In the end, she was swallowed by the snake.

After watching the whole process, Aoi Mari suddenly understood.

Aoi Jasmine said to herself; Why do I have to fight these armies here? The battlefield is only one or two hundred kilometers away from Yang City. I can lead my troops to Yang City and then raid Nanjing. When everything is stable, I can lead my troops to cut off the supply line that transports resources to them from Jiang Province. Then, I can join forces with Inoue Ryota to attack them. Wouldn't this matter be much simpler?

As soon as she said it, Aoi Mari started looking for the best marching route on the map.

After formulating the marching route and battle plan, Aoi Mari brought her own plan to the command post to discuss with Inoue Ryota.

After reading Aoi Mari's plan, Ryota Inoue said: This is a good method, but the troops going there will face unknown risks.

Aoi Jasmine said unconcernedly: "Don't worry about that. As long as you can delay the team on the battlefield and prevent them from chasing and intercepting us, I have absolute confidence that I can take Jinling."

Inoue Ryota was still a little worried. After all, the other party was the treasure of the Aoi family in China. If he died in the war, the Aoi family would definitely try every means to make trouble for him. Maybe they would even send someone to assassinate him.

Inoue Ryota expressed his concerns.

Aoi Mari said expressionlessly: Is there any better way at the moment? Even if we give up this plan, will we still have the face to hold our heads up when we return to the country? Who knows how those other commanders will laugh at us. I would rather die on the battlefield than return to the country and become a laughing stock.

After a series of inner struggles, Ryota Inoue agreed to Aoi Marie's plan.

When are you going to leave?

Inoue Ryota asked.

I need to prepare. I will lead the team to set out at night tomorrow night. We will reach Yang City in about two days. During these two days, you should let the soldiers charge more often to make the enemy feel that we are determined to take this city, so that they will have no time to take care of other places.

Inoue Ryota nodded: Okay, I'll do as you say.

After returning to the room, Aoi Jasmine began to pack her luggage. She knew that it would not be that easy to attack Jinling and she had to be fully prepared.

On the second night, Aoi Jasmine led 20,000 people and set out from the side road. They had to cross two mountains before they could reach the territory of Yang City.

At the same time as Aoi Mari set off, Inoue Ryota also took advantage of the darkness of the night to launch an attack on the Dragon Kingdom army.

The commander of the Dragon Kingdom’s army called an emergency meeting when he saw the enemy’s aggressive approach.

The actions of these islanders are very unusual. This is the first time I see them attack at night. Are they going to have a decisive battle with us?

The people below began to talk.

After some discussion, everyone came to a unanimous conclusion that they must be short of food and equipment, so they wanted to have a final battle with us. We will not fight them. You can charge if you want. We will rely on the trenches and city walls to block them and wear them out outside the city. By then, they will automatically retreat when they have no equipment and food.

The commander also thought this was a good idea.

The commander began to give orders. No matter how the enemy charged or insulted us, we would not leave the trenches and would rely on favorable terrain to block the enemy. Anyone who disobeyed orders would be punished by military law.

The officers below dispersed one after another and went back to inform their own troops to carry out the orders.
