Chapter 1506: Chapter 1507 Many Secrets
Upon hearing Liu Buli’s words, An Jing then realized that Liu Feifei was injured and quickly said, "Feifei, you should quickly go see the military doctor."
"Eh." Only then did Liu Feifei go to find the military doctor.
Liu Buli originally wanted to follow Liu Feifei, but as a General, he knew there might still be enemy soldiers within the military camp. This was not the time for personal affairs, so he didn’t accompany Liu Feifei to the doctor. Instead, after saying a few words to Xiao Changyi, he also led his men to search the camp.
Seeing Liu Buli leave, An Jing walked over to Xiao Changyi and said with a smile, "Husband, didn’t I say Feifei’s talent for recognizing people would be useful?"
Xiao Changyi merely glanced at her and said nothing.
So An Jing didn’t say anything further and instead patrolled the camp alongside Xiao Changyi.
It was not until the late hours of the night, when the entire camp had been searched and no trace of Chilin scouts was found, that Xiao Changyi and An Jing finally returned to their tent to sleep.
...
The following day at noon, Qi Tengfei reported that someone, unable to withstand torture, had confessed. They admitted to being sent by Jiang Feisheng, the Great General guarding the Imperial City in Chilin, to gather intelligence. They also revealed that the Great Generals defending the four gates of the Imperial City—east, south, west, and north—were Fan Youyun, Xie Xingyuan, Gao Yufeng, and Bi Xiangjing.
They further revealed that the Chilin Imperial City actually had 1.3 million troops.
Fan Youyun, Xie Xingyuan, Gao Yufeng, and Bi Xiangjing each commanded 250,000 troops to guard the four city gates, while the remaining 300,000 troops were personally led by Jiang Feisheng, the Great General of the city, to defend the Chilin Imperial Palace.
They even confessed that the food supplies within the Chilin Imperial City were running low, likely able to last at most three more months. With such a large number of troops—1.3 million—the supplies were running thin, causing Jiang Feisheng, the Great General, to urgently send them to gather intelligence.
For revealing so much critical intelligence, Liu Feifei not only accomplished a task but made a significant contribution.
Upon hearing Qi Tengfei’s report, Xiao Changyi immediately summoned Qiao Shouye and asked if he was familiar with Jiang Feisheng, Fan Youyun, Xie Xingyuan, Gao Yufeng, and Bi Xiangjing.
Qiao Shouye replied that he was familiar with them.
Xiao Changyi then asked, "Since you’re familiar with them, General Qiao should know their military tactics, right?"
Qiao Shouye promptly replied honestly, "I know a bit." Following this, Qiao Shouye shared all he knew with Xiao Changyi.
Currently, he’s a Xiyun citizen, and the Emperor of Xiyun has been kind to the people and trusts him so much that he’s entrusted him to lead troops to attack a city gate. He has no reason to hide anything.
After listening to Qiao Shouye, Xiao Changyi felt assured and summoned Liu Buli. The generals from the four directions sat together to discuss strategies carefully.
During the discussion, Qi Tengfei, Qiao Shouye, and Liu Buli also shared their plans to attack the gates. However, since they now knew who was defending the gates and their tactics, they made slight adjustments to their attack strategies.
When the discussion was concluded, Xiao Changyi declared, "We attack the city in three days!"
"Yes, Great General!"
...
To prevent the situation from spiraling out of control due to food shortages, which might cause 1.3 million Chilin soldiers to launch a desperate all-out attack, preemptively weakening their forces was deemed necessary.
Therefore, knowing that Xiao Changyi planned to attack in three days, An Jing had no objections.
During these three days, An Jing spent most of her time familiarizing herself once again with Ye Zhi’s sniper rifle.
There weren’t too many bullets for the sniper rifle, but not too few either. However, An Jing dared not waste even a single bullet on practice.
