earth, and you dare to dream of doing business with our Zhao family""Let me tell you right now, in our Zhao family, you'd better know how to speak to us masters!"As soon as Zhao San's voice fell, he...Chapter 1218: Setting Traps for the Other Party

The Xixia people outside the perimeter were eating by the fire, occasionally glancing into the forest.

A small leader walked over and sat down, and several soldiers who were resting and eating nearby immediately surrounded him.

"Head, how do you say 'top' in this context Are those big guys dead"

The little leader glared at his subordinate, "Is this something you're capable of finding out"

"Not dead."

The little leader's tone was clearly not good. The weather was getting colder and colder, and it was about to enter the coldest period of winter.

I thought that by encircling those soldiers of Great Xi within, we could exhaust them without having to lift a finger. But today, the scout reported that there were still signs of activity in the forest, clearly they are not dead yet.

Even the small leader was puzzled.

"It's freezing out here, and they're still alive"

"These Big Xi people are too tough, aren't they"

Not only did the soldiers on the ground think that, but even the commanders above were surprised. However, the stronger and more tenacious the opponent is, the greater the sense of accomplishment in victory, isn't it

If reputation were so easily extinguished, they would instead feel that victory came too easily and suspect a trick.

“Even if they are still alive, as those above have said, they are now at their weakest. As long as we hold out for another two or three days, either they will break through quickly, or they will starve to death or freeze to death inside.”

Many soldiers burst into laughter after hearing this, "Breakout The Xi soldiers inside have been trapped for over ten days. Even if they're still alive, they're probably just hanging on by a thread. It's hard to say if they can even hold a weapon, let alone break out"

"Head, are you kidding me"

The little leader also thought so in his heart, but the superiors had ordered him not to take it lightly because the other party was Da Xi's war god and renowned figure.

Over the past six months, they have been unable to gain any advantage from their opponent despite having several times more soldiers. This shows just how formidable this man is.

The general said, “Now more than ever we can’t be careless. We are facing Zong Yu, don’t you all remember how formidable he is”

When someone mentioned Zong Yu's name, those soldiers immediately stopped smiling.

Yes, the person trapped inside is Zong Yu. If it were any other general, they would have probably collapsed and died inside long ago, or else made a desperate breakout attempt, falling right into their pre-laid trap.

Although they seem to have the upper hand now, the battlefield is ever-changing. Who knows, a sudden turn of events could completely change the tide at any moment.

A few times they all thought they were about to win, but they were still caught off guard by the other side.

"Everyone, perk up! Once you're done eating, those who need to rest should rest, and those who need to switch shifts should do so. We can't afford to relax for a second. Did you hear me"

The soldiers shouted in unison, "Yes, sir!"

The little leader was just about to enter the tent when suddenly a commotion came from outside. He immediately stopped and turned his head to look.

"What happened over there"

Suddenly, a high-pitched voice rang out.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"The Daxihe army surrounded us from outside."

The little leader's face turned pale.

He quickly grabbed the shouting soldier and loudly asked, "What's going on Where did this massive Xi army come from Are they reinforcements How many are there in total, and who leads them Did you get a good look"

The soldier answered hurriedly.

"Reporting back, sir, we are unclear on the enemy's numbers. They aren't reinforcements. It's Zong Yu and his men who broke through from the mountains and now have us surrounded!"

What!

The small leader was shocked beyond words. He had just come out of the general's meeting tent, how could such important news not have been reported beforehand

And in such a short time, how did Zongyu get out of the mountains He and his men can't fly with wings.

He rushed back to the tent to report the situation. The Western Xia generals, upon hearing this news, all wore expressions identical to his own just moments ago.

Some people even refuse to believe it.

“This is impossible. Our scout just reported back half an hour ago, and Zong Yu and the others were clearly still trapped in the mountains, running out of supplies. How could they appear outside our perimeter and surround us in such a short time This is absurd!”

Another Western Xia general frowned and said, "That person outside is not Zong Yu. Could they have someone impersonate Zong Yu"

Even if the one outside is an impersonator, those soldiers are real. Our current situation is that we are surrounded. You keep saying impossible things and nonsense. I think you're the one talking nonsense.

"The people outside the forest are all from your right army. You don't even know when Zong Yu ran away, the responsibility should be borne by your right army!"

When Madam General heard this, she immediately became unhappy. The people in the tent divided into two factions, with the two of them as leaders, accusing each other of being responsible. In short, they all refused to take responsibility for their own actions.

The Xixia general, upon seeing this scene, was almost driven mad with rage. He roared in fury.

"Be quiet, all of you!"

"With the enemy about to strike us down, are you still arguing and fighting amongst yourselves"

"Just like a loose pile of sand, he has been disobedient for so many days that we can't even touch the edge of his reputation. You all should reflect deeply on this."

The general's military advisor hurriedly advised, "General, now is not the time to blame. We should first think of a strategy to meet the enemy."

“It is not too late to discuss who is responsible after we have driven them all back.”

The general nodded.

"That makes sense. Da Xi's forces were that small. They suffered heavy casualties before we drove Zong Yu into the forest. There's no way they could gather another force to help in a short time."

“So those people outside are most likely the troop led by Zong Yu. I don't know how they managed to leave our encirclement unnoticed, but given the freezing weather and their wounded soldiers who don't even have enough food, it's a worrying situation.”

"I bet those soldiers are holding on by a thread right now, fighting us with the last shred of their belief."

Even as an enemy commander, upon hearing this, he couldn't help but feel a tinge of admiration. Every soldier who had served under Zong Yu possessed an indomitable spirit, a resilience that made them seem impossible to kill.

Could he possibly have some more brainwashing sorcery up his sleeve

"Since these people are at their last stand, what do we have to fear So what if we're surrounded, just pick up our weapons and fight our way out!"

“Yes, pick up your weapons and fight. This battle is inevitable.”

What the Xixia people never expected was that Zong Yu would barge in so ostentatiously as soon as he arrived. This, to begin with, was highly unreasonable.

He knows the other side has more people than him, doesn't he Of course he does.

He also knew that the soldiers of Xixia rested well every day, did not go hungry, and were full of energy.

Even if they caught the enemy off guard with a surprise attack, once their opponents calmed down and fought seriously, thousands of them could easily overwhelm these few hundred remnants.

Just because one person is skilled doesn't mean all soldiers can defeat ten enemies with one.

But who would have thought his wife would give him weapons at this crucial moment, and also send someone who could dig tunnels

Ah Sheng brought a total of fifteen people, escorting weapons here.

He asked them to do him another small favor, setting up a few traps for the other party.ode his horse to find Lady Zong and the others."I'm afraid he might also be in danger. What can one person do"Su Yusheng frowned tightly, pondered for a moment, and said."We've been a long way from Mu...
