Hulanmu's heart tightened, and his gaze was immediately drawn to the flickering flames. With years of battlefield experience, he keenly sensed that this firelight signified the imminent revelation of the outcome he had been anticipating. He was certain that tonight would yield results!
Sure enough, not long after, he dispatched a group that rushed through the city like the wind. The leading commander approached Hulanmu with an excited expression, eager to report on the night’s battle situation.
"General, that so-called Fourth Prince is nothing but a young brat with no real combat experience! His command of the battle is as childish as playing house!" The commander described animatedly. "And the Wu Kingdom Army? They were utterly incapable of putting up a fight!"
Hulanmu furrowed his brow slightly and said in a deep voice, "Explain in detail. How exactly were they incapable of fighting back?"
The commander took a deep breath and continued, " your humble general led our brothers straight in without any effort, reaching close to their main camp. We were about to break into the Fourth Prince's tent when suddenly a general from their camp charged out with his troops to resist fiercely. If it weren't for that, we would have completely overwhelmed them!"
After hearing this, Hulanmu fell silent, but from his contemplative expression, it was clear he had formed an initial judgment about the Fourth Prince's military capabilities. It seemed that this much-discussed prince was indeed just as rumored—a pampered youth who only knew how to talk about strategy on paper without understanding the art of war.
"General, I believe we should decisively strike now and eliminate those enemy troops in one fell swoop!" urged one of Hulanmu's subordinates eagerly.
However, Hulanmu raised his hand slightly and said in a calm voice, "Not so fast. Let’s wait and see."
The subordinate felt a twinge of dissatisfaction but still respectfully replied, "Yes, General."
After a brief pause, the subordinate continued, " your humble general burned all their supplies before leaving last night. Now that they have lost their provisions, this is the perfect opportunity for us to launch an attack!"
Upon hearing this, Hulanmu couldn't help but feel a surge of joy; his eyes narrowed as he pressed further, "Is this true?"
The commander nodded vigorously. "Absolutely true, General! According to your humble general, they will likely have to fight on empty stomachs soon."
Hulanmu fell into deep thought, quickly recalling that during his reconnaissance of the nearby terrain, he had found no signs of ambushes. With their supplies cut off, this was undoubtedly a rare opportunity for battle. If he missed this chance, it would be difficult to find such a favorable situation again in the future.
With this in mind, he made a decisive decision, standing up abruptly and shouting loudly, "Bring me someone! Relay my orders: let all our brothers rest tonight to conserve their strength. At dawn tomorrow, we will mobilize our forces and launch a fierce attack against the enemy!"
With a resolute gaze, he surveyed the crowd before him and, having given his orders, took a seat.
The Brave Soldiers responded in unison, acknowledging his command before retreating in an orderly fashion to prepare for battle.
The night passed without incident, and soon the dawn of the next day arrived. As the first light of day broke over the eastern horizon, Hulanmu was already clad in armor, mounted on a tall and powerful warhorse. Behind him was a formidable array of fully armed soldiers, their spirits high.
With a sweeping gesture, he led this fierce army out of the city in grand fashion.
Upon reaching the Wu Kingdom's camp, he found the entire area eerily quiet, devoid of any signs of movement.
Seeing this, Hulanmu's lips curled into a confident smile. It seemed that the enemy had yet to realize that his forces were about to unleash a thunderous assault.
