Chapter 1014: How Old Am I?
"Three thousand troops!"
"Just three thousand! I can hold off the Imperial Court's forces for half a year!"
The grand army set out, marching north toward Iron Fortress Pass!
A mere three thousand troops were tasked with holding off the Imperial Court's forces heading south from the flank.
The man who spoke these words was Sun Wuneng, a fierce general under Prince Jin. He had distinguished himself early on during the wars against Prince Xiao, excelling at fighting outnumbered. With just two thousand troops, he had once tied down Prince Xiao's army of over ten thousand for several days, slaying more than three thousand enemies. That crushing blow to the Xiao Army's morale had played a decisive role in the war.
Sun Wuneng had already made a military pledge, vowing to use his three thousand men to drag down the Imperial Court's flanking forces for half a year.
Half a year would be enough time for the soldiers on the other front to take down the Yan Army.
Prince Jin's ambitions were massive. From the very beginning, he had planned to wage war on two fronts: advancing north while devouring the south!
This was an enormous gamble. Nothing could be allowed to go wrong, and it demanded a swift, decisive victory without delay. Now that the Yan Army had entered the board, the true war had finally begun!
