Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1116

Chapter 1116 -1110: Humiliation

“Previously, Yun Lan mentioned the usage of the Bai family army’s Huying Camp. Now that we have so many elite Huoyun soldiers, this time we will surely achieve a triumphant victory!” Yun Lingzhi said.

“Lingzhi, order your deputy general to lead the elite troops, quietly enter the city from the east gate by any means, and split your forces into two: one to infiltrate the Governor’s Mansion and capture Bai Qingyan alive, and the other to open the city gate…” Yun Poxing instructed his son.

“Yes!” Yun Lingzhi accepted the command.

Yun Tianao could no longer hold back: “Grandfather, I can take the first batch of Huoyun troops to the south gate, set up a formation to draw the attention of the Zhou, and when the east gate of Pingyang City opens quietly, you can lead the Huoyun Army into the city, and I will lead them to the walls to draw their main forces.”

Yun Poxing shook his head: “In warfare, Bai Qingyan is very clever. If you lead the troops from the south gate to attract attention, it may backfire and make Bai Qingyan vigilant! She might even send people to Pingdu City to order soldiers to return and support! For us, it would be a loss without any gain! We should let the Huoyun Army infiltrate the city, wait for the city gates to open… then storm in.”

Yun Lingzhi nodded along: “We don’t have many troops, splitting the army is not advantageous for us Xiliang!”

Just as they settled the major matters, a scout brought news that the Zhou had begun attacking Pingdu City.

“Grandfather!” Yun Tianao exclaimed excitedly, “Our army is ready!”

Yun Poxing clenched his fist, remained silent for a long time, wondering if it was because he was getting old, for lately, he often recalled the battle in the southern frontier with Bai Qingyan, which still left him in fear.

Bai Qingyan’s strategies often caught people off guard.

“Grandfather!” Yun Tianao called Yun Poxing again, saying, “We can’t wait any longer! Pingdu City is already in combat, and by the time they’re done, our attack on Pingyang City will still not be over, or someone might go out and report, leading to a pincer attack, making our battle difficult.”

Yun Poxing looked out toward the mountains outside: “Let’s wait a bit longer…”

“Grandfather, we’ve already made our decision, what are we waiting for?” Yun Tianao was becoming impatient.

“Bai Qingyan is fond of using ambushes; entering and exiting the mountains… the terrain on both sides is high, I fear there might be an ambush!” Yun Poxing poked the fire with the stick in his hand, “I’ve already sent out a brigade to scout, wait for them to return, confirm there’s no ambush or scouts, then it’s not too late to move!”

“Grandfather, didn’t King Yan already send people to scout!” Yun Tianao, young and impetuous, felt his grandfather had been scared by Bai Qingyan at Wengshan, Jinghe.

“Being cautious in warfare is never wrong! Don’t be too hasty!” Yun Lingzhi told Yun Tianao, “Wait for the people your grandfather sent out to return, then it won’t be late to set out.”

Upon hearing this, Yun Tianao threw down the stick in his hand and sat on a rock, full of resentment.

Before long, the brigade Yun Poxing sent out to search returned, reporting to him that they had not found any ambushes, nor seen any scouts.
