It's just a simulation game, how did the fairy become real?

If the powerful families remain stable, it will be easier for him to consolidate military power.

Su Chen could foresee that the current hot topic of discussion within Zhenbei Pass had probably already reached the desk of the Second Prince of the enemy forces.

Given this person's personality, even if they don't believe his actions, they will still strengthen their defense.

This is exactly what Su Chen wanted!

……

Chapter 16: Making a Scene

"Is this Pei Yichen a good-for-nothing or a genius?"

The Second Prince of the North, Barth, frowned slightly as he looked at the secret letter on the table.

On his desk, besides a map of Zhenbei Pass, there was also a piece of information about Pei Yichen.

He naturally wouldn't believe the information sent by Zhou Zhongguang, that old fox.

Barth had long ago ordered his spies, who were lurking within the dynasty, to gather all the information about Pei Yichen since his birth.

Judging from those events, we can deduce that Pei Yichen is a shrewd and resourceful person, and his own martial arts skills are probably quite good as well.

But leading troops into battle is a different matter from power struggles.

The opposing team immediately started clamoring to attack the most difficult parts of our defensive line: the north and west sides.

This is probably a smokescreen!

A person's work style cannot change that quickly!

"Pass down the order to strengthen observation and defense on the north and west front lines."

Meanwhile, the defenses of the grain depots and armories will be increased by 20% compared to normal.

After giving the order, Balth's gaze fell on the map's defensive line, specifically on several prominent points.

These spots were bait that he had deliberately left out.

The two sides were reserved for extremely fast cavalry.

As long as the people of Zhenbeiguan dare to fight, Balth has the ability to keep them here.

The garrison inside Zhenbei Pass was already small, and once a batch was depleted...

Even a direct assault could break through!

The situation in the North is not good right now.

If they can break through Zhenbeiguan Pass and advance unimpeded, they can sustain themselves through continuous warfare and even supply the north with resources, which is their best option at present.

The sky quickly darkened.

The area inside and outside Zhenbei Pass appeared peaceful. Su Chen had already mustered his troops and was waiting at the gate.

"Keep an eye on things for me. Whether I can come back safely depends on you."

Su Chen whispered something to Jiang Li beside him.

After he leads his troops out of the pass, Jiang Li will hide at the gate with the men he has arranged.

In case someone cuts off his escape route.

That old bastard Zhou Zhongguang has been able to lead the aristocratic family for so many years, not because of his kind heart.

They're ruthless killers!

Their relationship had long been strained, a mere facade.

Zhou Chongguang considered him a major threat. If he could massacre three thousand soldiers without any background, he could eliminate him.

That old man would never hesitate for even a moment!

"Everyone, go!"

The moment the troops left the city, all the forces inside Zhenbei Pass already knew.

The aristocratic families naturally remained on the sidelines.

It would be best if Pei Yichen died outside, so they wouldn't have to resort to other means to kill him.

Kong Fan pondered whether he should provide assistance.

The ragtag army of less than three thousand men was not very strong, but they were still soldiers.

If all the enemy troops were to be lost outside, the situation at Zhenbeiguan would be even more unfavorable.

"It's really troublesome!"

Kong Fan thought about it for a long time, but ultimately couldn't find a suitable solution.

We can only take one step at a time.

If the situation is not urgent, it is still advisable to send troops to provide support.

Although Su Chen left the city in secret, this operation was tantamount to revealing his hand to both sides.

Su Chen knew that the people under his command could not exert much combat power at all.

So this time he didn't assign any combat missions to these people at all.

There's only one requirement: a grand scale!

The team brought with them a lot of tung oil rockets and other weapons that could harass the enemy.

In the darkness, three men form a formation, and a hundred men form an army.

A thousand people would be a huge, swarming mass!

Once the troops left the pass, they split into three groups according to Su Chen's previous plan and marched in three different directions.

They wanted to make as much noise as possible under the cover of night.

Not seeking to kill, but merely to provide cover!

As for Su Chen himself, he led a light cavalry of less than a hundred men, taking advantage of the darkness to blend in with the troops behind the enemy lines and quickly approach the enemy formation.

The multiple raids did indeed cause some trouble for the northern army.

But given their military skills, they quickly adjusted.

However, when they wanted to retaliate...

The harassing troops had already moved elsewhere.

With fewer than three thousand soldiers, they would fight one battle and then move on to another.

Taking advantage of the darkness, they managed to disrupt the enemy's entire defensive line on the west and north sides.

Three thousand men actually made it look like thirty thousand!

At Zhenbei Pass, the noble families who had been waiting to see a good show were now looking at each other in bewilderment.

utter silence!

As they had planned, this ragtag group of less than three thousand charged into the enemy lines.

It's like throwing an egg against a rock!

It breaks at the slightest touch!

They never expected that at this moment, the enemy's ranks would be ablaze with fire and filled with deafening battle cries.

It was all just a bluff.

At this moment, they were all caught in self-doubt.

Could it be that the fierce generals and valiant soldiers of the North are all made of paper?

How come they're so strong?

Kong Fan, who was originally in the main tent, could no longer sit still after hearing about the enemy's situation.

At this moment, he was standing on Zhenbei Pass, looking out.

After days of fighting, he had never seen the enemy army in such a formation.

In his memory, the army from the north was fierce, ruthless, and especially calm.

They are adept at advancing and retreating during battles and will never descend into chaos.

But the enemy's current formation is in complete chaos.

A thought unexpectedly popped into Kong Fan's mind: the northern army was nothing special.

Just a few days ago, he was forced into seclusion by the enemy and dared not come out!

All these changes were due to Pei Yichen alone!

The commotion in the enemy ranks came quickly and went quickly.

In just over an hour, the defenses were back to being as tight as before.

Balth stared at the battle report on the table, his face turning pale and then red.

He had anticipated Su Chen's strong attack, but it was merely a cover.

Therefore, he strengthened the protection of key locations such as granaries and armories.

He didn't expect that Su Chen's group would only harass but not attack!

Throughout the entire process, not a single soldier on their own defensive line ever engaged in direct combat!

The attack came suddenly and unexpectedly in the darkness.

Moreover, this group of guys will move to a different spot after each attack.

Even if they wanted to retaliate, it would be difficult to find a direction for their counterattack.

The mighty army of the North has never suffered such humiliation.

One or two of them wanted to chase after them for revenge, and with so many people, the whole situation naturally became chaotic!

The battle report even included a small number of casualties that came from their own side!

"You really underestimated him!"
