Chapter 1798: Outbreak <<<
After finishing their drinks in one gulp, they surprisingly felt a sense of camaraderie and mutual understanding.
Li Chen also ignored them. At this time, he was more concerned about the front line.
At this very moment, a series of explosions suddenly came from the direction of Suiyang County in the distance.
The explosion reverberated far and wide, sounding like the sky had collapsed in the distance. When the blast reached Wolong Mountain, where they were stationed, ripples appeared on the cup of plum wine in front of Li Chen.
The sound waves echoed continuously between the valleys, sending shivers down one's spine. What a colossal explosion it must have been to produce such a deafening roar even at Wulong Mountain.
And hearing the string of explosions, Li Chen finally felt much more at ease.
In this era, the only thing that could create such an explosion is the Great Qin Thunder, and it would take a large number of Great Qin Thunders exploding simultaneously to have such a massive sound.
Although this burn at least millions of taels of silver, in Li Chen's view, it was worth it!
As expected, in the blink of an eye, someone came to report.
"My liege, outside Suiyang County, General Su Ping of the north led his troops to break through the Liao army's formation. With the use of the Qin divine thunder, they inflicted massive casualties. The Liao army, who had stolen our Red-Capped Cannon from Yueya Pass, were utterly destroyed."
Li Chen nodded and said, "Very good, has Wu Shuai been informed?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, the news has been sent to General Wu's desk at the first opportunity. It is likely that General Wu has already received it by now."
Li Chen took a deep breath and said, "Then go and tell Wu Shuai that we can send troops to Suiyang County to rescue the defenders there. The Liao army has been severely defeated now, and they will inevitably pursue relentlessly. Once they enter Wolong Mountain, this battle will be decisive."
After the messenger left, Li Chen turned to look at Huang Ji Tian.

"The Jin army must end the battle within half a day."
A flush of excitement crossed Huangji Tian's face as he licked his lips and said, "A leaderless army is like scattered sand. Your Highness can rest assured, with 300,000 Jin troops facing 150,000 Yan Yun Sixteen Cavalry whose morale has been shattered, even after stripping away the most elite 10,000 Tie Futou, it will be a matter of less than half a day to take them down."
But right now, within the Yan Yun Sixteen Cavalry camp, chaos reigned.
Ever since a soldier on patrol returned with the corpse of King Ning just a cup of tea ago, the entire army has been thrown into utter chaos.
In the end, several generals came forward and denied that the corpse was the true body of the prince. They immediately issued a gag order, forbidding anyone from discussing the prince's affairs privately. This managed to control the situation's deterioration somewhat.
But everyone knows that chaos is already sprouting.
Inside a military tent in the camp, several high-ranking officers stood together, their faces grim.
And their eyes were all fixed on the body lying on the ground.
No matter how much they deny it, or try to silence the truth, they can't change the fact that deep down, they all know this corpse truly belongs to King Ning.
Finally, a general broke the silence, saying: “My lords, you can’t hide fire under a bushel. What can be concealed for a time cannot be concealed forever. The news of the prince's death will inevitably spread throughout the army.”
This remark only deepened the already heavy atmosphere within the tent.
Another general hesitated for a moment before saying, "My lord... how could he have died suddenly!? Looking at the wound on his brow, it's clearly murder. Who has such audacity? If I catch him, I will surely dismember him a thousand pieces!"
