He had also sensed it. Before they had arrived, it had been a westerly wind. Why had it suddenly become an easterly wind? Moreover, it was such a powerful easterly wind.
The endless great fire devoured and roared. The great fire burned through the area, leaving behind only a pitch-black patch on the ground...
Wang Siqi's face was covered in dust and dirt. His face had been scorched black.
He knelt on the ground and stared blankly at everything. Everything had happened because of a wrong decision of his, causing the 300,000 man army to fall here.
How could he have the face to face these soldiers that he had brought out? How could he have the face to face the villagers and elders of the Nanxuan Kingdom?
"General, leave quickly! If there's still a green mountain, there's still wood to burn!" At this moment, a deputy general dragged him, but the current Wang Siqi seemed as if he had lost his soul.
The deputy generals had strong martial arts. Although they extinguished the fire on their bodies in the fire, they pulled Wang Siqi and retreated.
Although they could save the general, they could not save the 300,000 soldiers.
They cried and wailed in the fire. The endless fire swallowed them and burned them alive.
Ye Chen looked at the fire that was like a devil from hell. At this moment, Luo Shuihan, Yang Xuan, and Wu Yue stood beside Ye Chen.
Wu Yue quickly said, "Your Majesty's move is indeed good! The west wind blows first. That Wang Siqi definitely did not predict that Your Majesty would be able to change the direction of the wind."
Ye Chen said indifferently, "Wang Siqi is a smart person. However, it is precisely because of his cleverness that he was fooled."
Yang Xuan quickly said, "A smart person? A smart person would even lead his soldiers into the fire?"
Ye Chen smiled faintly and said, "Actually, smart people all have a common problem, and that is confidence."
"When Wu Yue was fighting with him, if Wu Yue had fled without a fight, he would definitely have thought that we had set up an ambush, so it's very likely that he wouldn't chase after us."
"However, I had Luo Shuihan issue a letter of challenge to him, and this letter of challenge directly exposed my identity. He knew that as long as he captured me, they would definitely be able to annihilate the Eastern Imperial Kingdom. Therefore, he was very confident that even if there were traps waiting for him ahead, he would still advance."
"The second time he arrived at Changfeng Pass, he saw that the people in Changfeng Pass had already evacuated. In fact, he had already begun to suspect that we were playing tricks. However, the temptation for me was simply too great for them. Moreover, his confidence allowed him to not fear any difficulties, so he fell for the trap again. Follow me!"
"When he arrived at Changfeng Meadow and saw the endless grass field, he naturally guessed that it was a fire attack. However, he was very confident. He believed that it was impossible for us to set fire in the west wind, so he fell for the trap!"
"And I made use of his intelligence and his confidence to win this battle!" Ye Chen said calmly.
"Your Majesty's divine plan, we admire it to the extreme!" At this moment, Yang Xuan hurriedly praised.
Ye Chen said calmly, "It's not considered a victory yet. Although this fire is fierce, it's impossible to burn 300,000 soldiers to death."
At this moment, Wang Siqi had already charged out under the lead of his vice-general.
Some soldiers also charged out one after another. However, more than half of the soldiers were drowned in the fire and buried in the sea of fire.
Because of the fire, Ye Chen and the others could not chase after them. They could only watch them escape. However, to be able to kill so many enemies, Ye Chen was already very satisfied.
In the end, the fire continued to spread. Out of the 300,000 man army, only 50,000 to 60,000 managed to escape. The other 200,000 man army was buried in the sea of fire.
As for Ye Chen, he did not waste a single soldier and killed over 200,000 enemy soldiers.
No one had been able to achieve such a feat since ancient times.
After this battle, all the soldiers were filled with incomparable admiration for Ye Chen. To them, Ye Chen was like a god. What Nanxuan Kingdom's God of War? In front of the Emperor of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom, he was nothing more than a stray dog, in the end, he could only run away with his tail between his legs.
...
Wang Siqi ran all the way to Changlin Pass. Here, he still had 300,000 soldiers stationed.
If it was not for the fact that he had held back at that time, the 500,000 soldiers would have been completely annihilated.
His face was covered in dust. When he arrived at the military camp, the soldiers could not recognize him.
After washing his face, he clenched his fists so tightly that his palms were covered in blood. He said fiercely, "Little Emperor of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom, I will definitely tear you into pieces!"
...
Changfeng Meadow.
The fire had already been extinguished.
Everything was pitch black.
Everything had turned into ashes...
Dried corpses lay on the ground one after another. They had all been burnt into charcoal, and everywhere was a mess. Over 200,000 soldiers had all been buried here.
This was all thanks to Ye Chen's strategy. If not for this, how could they have been able to defeat Wang Siqi's 300,000 soldiers?
"Your Majesty, Wang Siqi has returned to Changlin Pass!"
A spy knelt in front of Ye Chen and said.
Ye Chen looked at him indifferently and said, "Alright, I got it!"
At this moment, Wu Yue and Yang Xuan stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
Ye Chen smiled and said, "They were just stunned by our fire. Although there are still over 200,000 soldiers left, they are all just decorations. If we attack now, we will definitely be able to beat them to the ground!"
"Yang Xuan, Wu Yue, listen to my orders!" Ye Chen ordered.
"I listen!"
Immediately, the two generals knelt on the ground.
"I order you to be the left and right generals. Lead 150,000 soldiers and follow me! This time, we will definitely defeat the Nanxuan Kingdom!"
"Yes!"
"Luo Shuihan, listen!" Ye Chen ordered again.
"I am here!"
"Lead the 300,000 man army to the rear." Ye Chen ordered.
"Yes!"
Ye Chen led the 300,000 man army out.
...
Changlin Pass!
Wang Siqi sat in the tent. At this moment, the vice generals were all in the tent, discussing major matters.
"General, I didn't expect the little Emperor of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom to be so sinister. Only 50,000 of our 300,000 man army are left. What should we do?" A vice general asked.
At this moment, everyone's gaze turned toward Wang Siqi.
Wang Siqi recovered from his defeat. He looked at the soldiers and said calmly, "I was careless previously. However, I didn't expect that the little Emperor would actually be able to borrow the east wind!"
"However, this time, I must make them pay the price!"
"The great general is indeed divine. His Majesty gave you 500,000 troops, and in a day, you only have 250,000 left. As expected of the 'war god of Nanxuan Kingdom'!"
Right at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from outside the tent.
Wang Siqi hurriedly raised his head and saw five people walking in.
These five people were all people by the side of the national advisor of Nanxuan Kingdom, and all of them were at the Transcending Tribulation Realm.
At this moment, Wang Siqi was greatly shocked.
"Why are you all here?"
At this moment, the person in the lead said indifferently, "If we hadn't come, how would we have known that the war god of Nanxuan Kingdom was such a prodigal? An army of 500,000 soldiers couldn't even defeat an army of 300,000 soldiers of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom!
"The imperial preceptor knows that you are a bunch of idiots, so he asked us to help you!"
"Sun Huo, this is a matter of our military camp.. What do you want?" Wang Siqi said sternly.
