Chapter 563 The Army Pressures the Territory (7)_1
"Arrogant troops will be punished," Chu Suifeng coldly declared. "After several days of victories, the confidence of the North Country’s soldiers has swollen. We will strike at them while they relax on the day tomorrow. Even a slight victory will be enough to shatter their morale."
"Your Highness, rest assured that I will use all my skills tomorrow to show the Tartars what we’re made of."
"This general will definitely not fail in his duty."

Training for the northern soldiers was strict, and Luo Heng and Chu Suifeng had shared in their hardship for many years. Hence, all the soldiers held a deep respect for Chu Suifeng.
The strategy of Chu Suifeng and Situ Gong to hide their strength beneath the appearance of weakness neither dampened the soldiers’ spirits. On the contrary, they all waited for the opportunity to accumulate slowly and strike swiftly when the time was ripe.
That night, Chu Suifeng did not return.
Lin Ziyin simply invited a few medicinal monks to dine with them, adding some liveliness to the scene.
"Miss, don’t worry. With Situ Gong and Luo Heng present, the North Country won’t be able to breach Border City," Master Huizhen comforted her.
Lin Ziyin was somewhat distracted during the meal, having observed the warfare on the city walls for five consecutive days. Although both sides had casualties throughout this period, overall, the deceased and injured were only soldiers, and the total number of casualties was not significant.
