One thousand versus ten thousand

  The grain-delivery troops, which had grown to twice their original size after passing through the three towns of Guo, Liao and Shi, arrived in a mighty display on the second day of the border's food shortage.

  "Your Highness! Your Highness! Something big has happened! Something big has happened!" A small soldier rushed into the commander's tent, and everyone inside looked at him simultaneously.

  The hot-tempered General Xu slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "What's going on with all this commotion? Has Zhong Lishi led her troops to attack?"

  "No, no! It's outside, outside..." The little soldier ran up, panting and stuttering, unable to clearly say what the matter was for half a day.

  "What's going on? Speak quickly!" General Liu also became impatient.

  The little soldier took a deep breath and, with an extremely excited smile, said, "Your Highness, there's someone outside who claims to be Princess Xuan..."

  With a 'whoosh', the little soldier's words were not yet finished when Blue Ling Xuan on the main seat had already disappeared, and that little soldier sighed in his heart: "Indeed, it is our Qi Ling Guo's Xuan Wang Ye, this lightness skill is simply incomparable, not even a shadow was seen before he vanished."

  The remaining people saw Lan Lingxuan run out and followed suit, leaving only the little soldier standing alone in the tent, scratching his head awkwardly. He hadn't even finished speaking, so why did they all run away one by one?

  Lan Lingxuan rushed out of the camp at his fastest speed, and as soon as he saw the person he had been thinking about day and night, he didn't care about anything and directly pulled him into his arms. His thick thoughts turned into a loud call, "Xin'er!"

  In order to deliver the grain to Lan Lingxuan as soon as possible, An Weixin and others rushed day and night, almost two days and two nights without closing their eyes, exhausted to the extreme! Moreover, sitting on horseback all the time, they didn't get off even once, and their bodies ached like they were going to fall apart. However, all this exhaustion disappeared in an instant when Lan Lingxuan rushed towards them.

  "Cough cough, your subordinates are all watching, be careful!" An Wei Xin reminded Lan Ling Xuan, who was immersed in great joy.

  "Who dares to look!" Lan Lingxuan gave a cold glance, and the soldiers who were still watching the commotion all turned their heads away, looking up at the sky or down at the ground, but not daring to look at the two of them.

  After the joy had passed, Lan Lingxuan suddenly thought of a very serious question and immediately asked with a straight face, "How did you get here? Don't you know it's very dangerous?"

  "It's so dangerous, you're not here too, besides, with you here, what danger is there to fear?" An Wei's flattering smile, tiptoed and stole a kiss on Lan Lingxuan's face, and then puckered up her mouth, teasing Lan Lingxuan into a hearty laugh.

  "Hey, Third Brother is only concerned about his younger sister and brother, but he didn't even notice me, the Second Brother!" Lan Ling Qi shook his head and inserted himself between the two, but was kicked out by Lan Ling Xuan, who also gave him a warning glare. "Don't interrupt my romantic time with my wife!" "Second Brother, you've hurt my feelings!" Lan Ling Qi, having been ruthlessly kicked away, turned around to find comfort from Xue Zi.

  "My goodness! This, this, this..." A cry of surprise interrupted the laughter of several people. The two generals and the prince who followed behind were all staring blankly at the endless grain carts in front of them, unable to come back to their senses for a long time. It wasn't until they shouted that Lan Lingxuan saw the magnificent grain convoy.

  "Xīn er, zhè......" It's impossible to say I'm not surprised.

  "This is what the people of Guo City, Liao City and Shi City asked me to bring for Xuan Wangye. Can't fight on an empty stomach, can we?"

  "Xin er, thank you!" Lan Lingxuan tightly hugged the little woman in his arms, who had given him those few boxes of treasures and now brought him these hundreds of thousands of stones of grain. All his grateful words converged into those three words.

  "Your Highness, these grains you've sent over have really saved us from a desperate situation!" General Liu exclaimed.

  "Yes, Princess! I, Xu General, will thank the princess on behalf of all the soldiers!" Xu General's face was filled with joy and his eyes shone brightly as he looked at An Weixin. The gaze made An Weixin feel a chill run down her spine, while Lan Lingxuan's face turned dark, and with a long arm, he swept An Weixin into his embrace and returned to the main tent.

  The night was filled with cheers in the military camp of Lingguo, where soldiers gathered around bonfires, overjoyed to learn that their King's consort had sent them food. Every soldier wore a happy smile on his face as they sang loud and clear military songs that shook the sky. The civilians in the city were deeply immersed in the iron-like military songs, even the enemy camp could clearly hear the thrilling singing voices, and one by one, they curiously wondered what was happening over there.

  "What is Blue Lingxuan up to?" Zhong Luying put down the wolf hair brush and asked the deputy general on his left.

  "Return to the Crown Prince, I heard that today, Xuan Wangfei and Rui Wangye sent them emergency food." The deputy general lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhong Luying, clearly feeling his anger. They had originally wanted to wait for another two or three days before Blue Lingxuan could no longer hold on, and then they would be able to enter the enemy camp and capture the 200,000-strong army of Qingling Kingdom in one fell swoop. Who knew that halfway through, An Weixin and Blue Lingqi, those two formidable enemies, suddenly appeared."

  "Damn it! Is Lao Tzu Lan Hao Tian out of his mind? How could he send a woman to deliver grain, and she arrived so quickly?" Zhong Liying felt more and more indignant the more she thought about it.

  "Hui, Crown Prince Hui, those grains were not dispatched by the imperial court. I heard that they were donated by Consort Xuan in several nearby cities."

  The table was slapped into two pieces by Zhong Lìyǐng, who gritted her teeth and said, "Good job, Princess Anping, you're quite capable!"

  "Crown Prince, what shall we do now?"

  "Tomorrow at dawn, attack the city!"

  "Yes!"

  The thin fog at the edge of the sky had just dissipated, and the war drums of Tian Shao Guo were beaten loudly, An Wei Xin was annoyed by that annoying drumbeat, really wanting to go out and beat that person to death!

  Lan Lingxuan gently pressed a kiss to An Weixing's lips, "Shall I go catch the person who disturbed your sleep for you?"

  An Wei's eyes sparkled with a sly smile, "Not good! I'll go with you, and take the opportunity to see how my research results with Xiao Nian and Old Colour are going." With a flip of her body, she sat up and quickly put on her clothes. The couple, with the man being handsome and the woman being lovely, walked out together, making people feel that they were incredibly well-matched!

  "Grandpa, the things have arrived." Two large trunks were lifted onto the high platform.

  "Your Majesty, what is this?" The two generals looked at each other in confusion, unsure of what was inside the box.

  "This is called a poisonous smoke bomb." An Wei stepped forward to explain, "The method of use is very simple, just throw it forcefully on the ground and this poisonous smoke bomb will explode. However, remember not to inhale the toxic fog into your mouth, and before the poisonous smoke bomb explodes, you must hide in a safe range." The crowd of soldiers looked curiously at those black balls, wanting to know how powerful they were.

  "Feng Qi, take out 1,000 troops and dispatch them first. Today, we will only send these 1,000 people to battle!" Lan Ling Xuan's domineering wave of his hand caused the soldiers below to immediately blow their tops - 1,000 people fighting against the enemy's tens of thousands or even more, what a joke?!

  "Third brother, this is a battle of one thousand against tens of thousands. Isn't this sending them to their deaths?" Blue Lingzhe's words caused the murmurs below to grow even louder.

  Lan Lingxuan sneered and his sharp eyes scanned the tens of thousands of soldiers below, "I won't force anyone, who is willing to step out themselves?"

  The murmurs gradually subsided. After a moment of silence, a stout man with a big waist walked out from the left side of the high platform, "Your Highness, I am willing!"

  "Alright! Who else?"

  "Your Highness, I am willing too!"

  "And me!" With that man starting it off, many more people stood up one after another. In less than a moment, a thousand people had gathered.

  "Your Highness, I am willing to lead these thousand men to go and fight!" Feng Qi stepped forward and asked for orders.

  "Good!"

  "In case of an accident, each of you should use a wet cloth to cover your mouth and nose." An Wei instructed.

  "Yes, Your Highness."

  Half an hour later, one thousand men led by Feng Qi stood facing the 50,000-strong army of Tian Shao Guo. The opposing general looked at the scattered thousand men and widened his eyes in surprise, then burst out laughing, "Hahaha, are you people from Lan Ling Xuan here to send yourselves to death? Or have all the people of Qi Ling Country starved to death?"

  "Let's fight if we must, no more nonsense!" Feng Qi shouted loudly, causing the opposing Tian Shao Guo general to burst into another fit of laughter.

  "Haha! You're in such a hurry to come and die? With just your few defeated soldiers, our army of tens of thousands can drown you with just one mouthful of saliva!"

  "How annoying!" Feng Qi glared at the general with a look of impatience.

  "You stinky brat! Since you want to die early, I'll grant your wish!" The general waved his hand and only sent out 10,000 soldiers to deal with Feng Qi's 1,000 men, clearly very confident.

  Except for An Weixin and a few others who were watching the battle from the high platform opposite, everyone else was tense to death. What's the joke about one thousand versus ten thousand? One person, one foot could trample them to death!

  Only to see that the thousand people were instantly overwhelmed by the enemy's ten thousand horses in the sea of people, the killing shout shook the sky, and the general of Tian Shao country smiled with satisfaction, believing that it would not take long for the thousand people to be left without a corpse.

  Just as Tian Shao's commander was triumphant, several explosions suddenly rang out from the army of 10,000 people, and a thick smoke billowed out, enveloping the entire army. The soldiers on both sides stared with wide eyes at the massive white fog in front of them, and cries of despair echoed back and forth, making the hearts of those who cried tremble with fear.

  "What's going on here!" The general bellowed but no one answered him.

  The thick smoke dispersed, revealing a shocking scene. The entire army of 10,000 soldiers from the Tian Shao Kingdom did not leave a single survivor! The corpses scattered all over the ground were in bizarre and gruesome positions.

  Some died with seven orifices bleeding, some died with their whole body festering, some died with their whole body scratched by themselves until they were covered in blood and flesh, and some were stabbed to death by swords. In short, the manner of death was extremely tragic. The Tian Shao national general and his tens of thousands of soldiers stared at the smiling faces of the thousand people opposite them as if they had seen a ghost, and even after killing them, they couldn't believe it, but in just a moment, those ten thousand soldiers were all dead!

  Feng Qi waved his hand and shouted, "Withdraw!" A thousand men withdrew without a trace before the enemy could react. The general of Tian Shao country's face fell, and he secretly cursed, "The people of Qi Ling country are really despicable! He lost ten thousand soldiers for no reason, and he didn't even say a word before running away with his tail between his legs! How am I going to explain this to the prince when I get back?" Thinking of Zhong Liying, the general suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
