Chapter 115 – This is War (2)
Four hours later…
“Reporting! General! The number of troops in the western part of the city has greatly exceeded the estimated number!”
“Reporting! General! The defensive formation of the imperial army in the east of the city is not a crossbow formation!”
“Report! General! The Emperor is already dead, and before he died, the Emperor handed the control of the imperial army to the Fifth Prince, Qi Yan, and Qi Yan had already joined hands with the Second Prince!”
Only after attacking did Ye Li realize that the reality before him was vastly different from the information he had obtained!
How could he not understand it clearly at this time? The map of the Imperial army was fake; the arrangement of the Imperial army was completely different as stated on it. Moreover, the equipment: armor and weapons used as stated in the map was also a complete sham!
He ruthlessly tore the paper in his hand, “Damn it! That slave dares to lie to me!”
The situation was obviously already extremely disadvantageous, but Ye Li thought of something on the spot and raised his hand angrily, “Continue to attack the city! Don’t be afraid! Even if the Imperial Army and the Second Prince were to join hands, they would only have 20,000 troops in the city. We have the larger number of people than them!” Ye Li angrily ordered, and then used the fastest speed to change the previous arrangement.
Although they were caught unprepared by the Imperial Army earlier, after changing their tactics on attacking, the two sides soon became evenly matched. However, Ye Li’s people were evidently even more fearless as they pushed forward with all their might towards the Imperial Palace.
At this moment, a small figure suddenly broke through the chaotic battlefield.
“Father!”
Ye Li’s ears twitched at this familiar voice. Indeed, when he turned his head around, he saw Ye Mu in the flesh.
Damn it! Where is Zhang Yuan?!
Ye Mu had spent a lot of effort before she had managed to successfully shake off Zhang Yuan, so he was quite delayed on chasing her. Seeing Ye Li reining his horse in, she hurriedly ran towards Ye Li. Along the way, many soldiers saw her and shifted the blades in their hands away from her.
Ye Mu was wearing a red dress. Amidst the black army and the white snowflakes, she seemed to be the only color in this brutal scene.
“What are you doing here?!” Ye Li glared ferociously at Ye Mu. The unexpected loss in military strength just moments ago made his heart feel as if it was being stabbed by knives. At this moment, his gaze towards anyone who would look at him carried a heavy killing intent!
Ye Mu panted and said loudly, “Don’t attack anymore! Now that the Imperial Army and the Second Prince are colluding, how can you be evenly matched with them anymore?!”
“Who said I’m not evenly matched?!” Ye Li said in a cold voice, “Even if I have to use corpses to pave my way towards the palace, then I will slaughter everyone along my way! Evenly matched? No, we are far stronger than them! Go back and be a good girl!”
“Father!” Ye Mu didn’t expect Ye Li’s mind to be so fixed. The situation was clearly unfavorable, so why did he still recklessly bargain his life away?
“Father, now that prince Zhao has disappeared, if the Second Prince were to capture him and force him to gather troops to fight you, then you–”
But before she could finish, Ye Li suddenly reined the horse towards her. Sitting on top of the horse, he turned over his bloodstained spear and pointed it straight at Ye Mu’s nose!
“Don’t come back!”.
Ye Mu was stunned and stopped in her tracks.
After charging inside the palace walls, Ye Li, like everyone else, had already killed to the point where his eyes were bloodshot. He pointed his spear at Ye Mu, his eyes filled with intense coldness!
“Who knows if you and that slave are on the same side? His origins are unknown, and I still can’t find out his identity. He pretended to submit to me, but in reality, he used the map of the Imperial Army to deceive me! You have a close relationship with him. Did you already know of his scheme? Did you plotted to harm me together with him? Whose spies are you all!?”
Ye Mu’s expression was tense at Ye Li’s growing fury. “I didn’t!”
“No?” Ye Li sneered, “Are you truly my daughter? Or do you wish for my death, like many others? Now that my army has attacked the Imperial Palace, you want me to retreat? Hahahaha! Do I have a way out?! Ah, I got it, you’re a traitor too!”
“I’m not! I just wanted to keep you alive, would you calm down?!”
“You are not? Then would you dare tell me what is that slave doing, or you do not know at all?!”
When Ye Mu heard this, her face instantly paled! Although she didn’t truly know, she knew how the plot would progress in the book.
Ye Li deeply looked at complicated her and a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes. Just when Ye Mu thought he would be furious and stab her to death with his spear, he actually took away his weapon.
“Scram! On the battlefield, there is no need for old people, women and children like you!”
