The Day Before the War

Time went on, and seven days just passed.

On the border of Tang Kingdom and Song Kingdom, two hundred thousand soldiers of Chu Kingdom and Song Kingdom tried to penetrate the defense of Tang Kingdom, but they got fierce resistance from Tang Kingdom soldiers guarding the border, but they got fierce resistance from Tang Kingdom soldiers guarding the border, even the number of deaths on their side was far more than the number of deaths of the enemy side.

“Not that the Tang Kingdom does not have a lot of heavy weaponry and does not have a lot of trained soldiers? This, how could they now have such a large amount of heavy weaponry and their highly trained soldiers perform long-range attacks?” The soldiers of Song Kingdom and Chu Kingdom were confused about the power of Tang Kingdom.

If in the previous war the Tang Kingdom only had four cannons and it was all anticipated by them by strengthening the defense. However, what they now saw was not the same as what they had previously known.

“Cannons and soldiers capable of launching arrows as far as two hundred meters. Don't we just give up our lives if we keep attacking them?”

Soldiers from the two Kingdoms began to hesitate to make an attack on the defense of the Tang Kingdom which had already been two days had not succeeded in breaking through.

Cannons, fireball throwers, and arrows they have do not help in attack because the range of the enemy's attack range is longer than the range of the weapons they have.

While carrying their weaponry forward to obtain the ideal attack range, the weaponry they had first was successfully destroyed by enemy attacks. At least, until now five of the twenty cannons they had brought had been destroyed at the hands of the enemy.

“Your Highness, we simply cannot march forward to take control of the defensive fortress of Tang Kingdom. Just a little closer, their weaponry instantly annihilated anything that was within the range of their attack,” said Li Jun, one of the trusted Generals of Queen Li Wei.

Queen Li Wei who heard that showed a displeased expression. “Their weaponry must have been the result of the granting of the Shu Kingdom. Just keep sending the soldiers forward, and we'll see how much armament they have!” queen Li Wei.

General Li Jun nodded his head, then he went to prepare the soldiers to be sacrificed to spend all the weaponry that the Tang Kingdom had.

The soldiers to be sacrificed were not actual soldiers, but rather they were the people of the Song Kingdom who were forced into the war.

There were at least a hundred thousand Song Kingdom people who would be sacrificed in the battle this time, and perhaps that number would increase if the first wave had not succeeded in making the Tang Kingdom run out of their weaponry.

However, Queen Li Wei's plan was already known to King Tang Gong who got the information from the Shu Kingdom spies, who were scattered among the confidants of Queen Li Wei.

King Tang Gong had already been told which one was a fake soldier and which one was a real warrior. When the advancing fake soldiers attacked, King Tang Gong would stop the attack and open the gates of the fortress to welcome their arrival.

On the contrary, if the ones that were advancing were the original warriors of Chu Kingdom and Song Kingdom, a massive attack would be made to destroy them.

The first wave consisting of a hundred thousand advanced warriors attacked the defensive fortress of Tang Kingdom. It was seen that they were all advancing vigorously, making General Li Jun happy to see it.

However, General Li Jun soon realized the oddity when the Tang Kingdom soldiers who stood guard were not attacking. With both eyes, he actually saw the gate of the Tang Kingdom fortress open wide to welcome the arrival of soldiers who were actually a group of people of the Song Kingdom.

General Li Jun only realized that he had entered into the enemy's plan when he saw the hundred thousand fake soldiers he sent, instead cheering happily and flocking into the Tang Kingdom's defensive fortifications.

All the plans are set by the Shu Kingdom spies who also infiltrate among the fake soldiers who will be sacrificed. They spies told all the fake soldiers that the Tang Empire would not attack, but instead welcomed their arrival.

“I did not expect such a mature plan to be known by the enemy. The existence of enemy spies managed to make a setback in the plan I had already put together,” muttered General Li Jun, then he immediately reported what happened to Empress Li Wei.

“Your Majesty, they are all a hundred thousand people, and most of them are not martial-savvy people. Only a quarter of them understand martial arts, and even then only understand about the basics of martial arts,” said the Tang Kingdom warrior who had just finished gathering all the information from the people of Song Kingdom who came as fake soldiers of Chu Kingdom and Song Kingdom.

King Tang Gong nodded his head. “Treat them well. They are not enemies, they are victims in this war,” King Tang Gong said.

“Good Your Majesty, servant and others will treat them as brothers,” reply warriors, then he goes to carry out the duties given to him.

“Without the help of the Shu Kingdom, the Tang Kingdom is unlikely to survive to this day,” muttered exclaimed King Tang Gong who felt himself owed a lot to the Shu Kingdom.

The Shu Royal Palace.

“War in Tang Kingdom has been going on for two days, and there is no sign yet that the war will end,” Princess Liu Yao said to everyone present in the palace hall of Shu Kingdom.

Princess Liu Yao continued to watch the course of the war in the Tang Kingdom, and when necessary she could send soldiers to help the Tang Kingdom.

“Although we are currently waiting for the time to start a war with the Gui Kingdom and the Qing Empire, we can't let the Tang Kingdom fight alone because after all it's only those who are by our side. At any rate, we must help if they do need help from us,” said Princess Liu Yao.

Everyone had no objections, they strongly agreed with Princess Liu Yao's decision to help the Tang Kingdom in the war against the Chu Kingdom and the remnants of the Song Kingdom's power.

“Your Majesty, fifty thousand Silver Lotus troops and ten thousand Golden Lotus soldiers are ready to be sent to the Tang Kingdom to help fight the Chu Kingdom and Song Kingdom, respectively,” said General Shang Hong who is currently given the responsibility of leading the Silver Lotus army and the Golden Lotus army.

Princess Liu Yao nodded her head. “Send two of your letters to lead them to help the Tang Kingdom! However, they did not need to die in vain in that place. If the enemy is strong and can not be resisted, they can join the retreat with the soldiers of the Tang Kingdom,” said Princess Liu Yao.

General Shang Hong who had already obtained the order, he resigned to leave the palace hall, and immediately left to do what he really had to do.

Inside the hall of Shu Kingdom Princess Liu Yao again said. “A shipment of weapons from the west has reached Gui Kingdom and Qing Empire, and it is likely that in two more days they will start attacking.”

“When there was an attack, of course I could not just stay silent in this palace. I will go to the border of the Kingdom that borders directly with the Qing Empire, and with the soldiers there I will fight the Qing Empire.”

“Jin Han, Jin Yan, Jin Fan, General Qiao Bai, you guys I give your duty against the Gui Kingdom army. But if the enemy force is difficult to conquer, you can retreat to the next defense.”

“Mu Niao, Zang Lei, and you four Royal Generals will go with me! General Shang Hong will later defend the territory from the Gui Kingdom attack, and for you,” Princess Liu Yao looked at Qin Chen, “You come with me,” he said.

Everyone had their own duties, including those who would remain in the palace of the Kingdom when Princess Liu Yao and the others went to the battlefield.

Those in the palace were in charge of organizing the supply of weapons, food, and medicine for the soldiers who were on the battlefield. Their task is no less important because the success of their task, can be a major factor determining the outcome of the war.

With a smooth supply of weapons, food, and medicine, soldiers on the battlefield did not have to worry that their needs would not be met, and thus they could focus on the ongoing war.
