Chapter 1696 Maybe, Uneasy

Wucheng will be lost!

These words, like a heavy hammer, hit everyone's heart heavily.

Even Manjusri, who had just entered, felt his heart sink suddenly. For a moment, no one could say a word.

After a long while, Xiao Lingdang finally said in a hoarse voice: "Since Wucheng is bound to be lost, then why should we continue this battle?"

After Wucheng was captured, the Qi family army would either attack Jinzhou City directly, or do the opposite and attack Dianzhou.

If they rush to Jinzhou City, Jinzhou City will be in danger.

If they turn back to attack Dianzhou, King Zheng's army and the Qi family's army will surround them and trap them in Dianzhou. They will surely die.

Isn't this a death sentence both ways?

Everyone looked at Gu Yunxi, even Yan Shisan had a sad look on his face.

In fact, everyone knew that this battle, with their backs to the water, was to provide cover for King Li's attack on the imperial city.

When they came, they knew they were risking their lives and they did not seek victory but only to inflict heavy damage on Jun Qi Zheng's army.

By then, after Prince Li occupied the imperial city, Jun Qi Zheng's wounded soldiers and generals who returned would not be able to contend with Prince Li's army.

Prince Xuan proclaimed himself emperor, but he didn't really want to be one. Prince Xuan and Gu Yunxi both knew that everything they did was just to pave the way for Prince Li.

In the future, the one who will be the emperor will be Jun Chuli.

I knew this a long time ago, but because I have been with Gu Yunxi for some time, I have felt her wisdom and calmness. I don’t know when it started, but I have been full of hope for Gu Yunxi.

She is like a stabilizing force. As long as she is around, everyone feels at ease.

But they all forgot that no matter how powerful His Highness Xi was, he was, after all, just a mortal.

Little Bell exhaled and said helplessly: "So, we will die sooner or later, but we are just trying to buy a little more time for King Li, right?"

"Why do you think so?" Gu Yunxi glanced at everyone and suddenly smiled: "Am I not trying my best? I haven't given up, and the soldiers are still trying their best. Why did you give up?"

"But, Your Highness, didn't you just say that Wucheng would be lost?"

"According to the current situation, Wucheng really has no chance of winning, but we have been working hard, right?"

Gu Yunxi pointed to the route on the topographic map and said, "The Qi family army should have arrived in Qingcheng in three days. However, such an elite force is moving slower than ordinary troops. Have you ever thought about why?"

This made everyone think seriously.

Wenshu said: "I have also wondered about this. Their marching speed is indeed not fast."

"Are you afraid that we might be ambushed along the way?"

"Impossible, where would we get the troops to ambush?" Gu Yunxi shook her head and said, "From my guess, the only possibility is that Qi Jiawei is uneasy."

"Uneasy?" Even Nangong Chu was surprised by these two words.

With an army of 100,000 under his command, he had to deal with a mere force of 30,000. Moreover, the ones guarding the city were Yan Jiu and Yan Shi, and even Yan Yi was not there. Why would Qi Jiawei feel uneasy?

"Because Prince Zheng is here." Prince Zheng is the one who wants to be the emperor! "If the emperor leads the army in person and dies outside, the imperial city will be leaderless."

"There will always be someone who will become the emperor. For a general, what he wants is merit. It doesn't matter who becomes the emperor, right?" Yan Shisan disagreed with Gu Yunxi's statement. She shook her head and said, "It is often at times like this that the general must be more confident and must win this battle. By then, no matter who becomes the emperor in the imperial city, he will be a meritorious official."
