Strategy? I'm at full level and criticizing like crazy, taming sickly villains

After Jiang Li finished speaking, Yang Jin suddenly felt enlightened.

Indeed, if they were trapped in Ningcheng, they would have to be passive at all times when there was not enough food and grass and the people in the city were not allowed to evacuate.

But this is just Jiang Li's guess. If she guesses wrong, there are actually far more than 100,000 people on the opposite side. If they continue to hold on, the Flame Army will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

Yang Jin was confused for a moment, not knowing how to decide.

Once a wrong decision is made, it will cost countless lives!

Moreover, if Ningcheng is lost, then the people of Qing Kingdom will also suffer a disaster, and the war will probably never stop.

Yang Jin had to be cautious, so he remained silent and did not answer Jiang Li for a long time.

Until Jiang Li's slightly cold voice sounded, "Yang Jin, you said you would give me absolute command. Now even though it is not part of the plan, you should obey my command!"

She had always been respectful and kind to Yang Jin, but this was the first time she spoke to him so coldly.

But for Yang Jin, these words were like a bucket of cold water poured down on him, making him suddenly sober.

The general once said: Don't use people you doubt, and don't doubt people you employ.

Perhaps, from the day he decided to hand over the military training rights to Jiang Li, he should have given her absolute trust!

Taking a deep breath, Yang Jin's eyes gradually became firmer.

He looked at Jiang Li and said slowly, "My subordinate was confused for a moment. The princess is right... Since my subordinate has agreed to give full authority to the princess, there should be no more questions!"

"From now on, Yang Jin will obey the princess's command in everything on the battlefield!"

Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief.

In the Flame Army, her time was still short after all, and her prestige was not comparable to that of Yang Jin.

If Yang Jin insists on retreating to Ningcheng, it will be very difficult for her.

Especially compared to her order not to retreat, people seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and they must be more inclined to Yang Jin's retreat method.

Fortunately, Yang Jin is still willing to stand firmly on her side, so there is still a chance for tonight's battle!

Jiang Li took a look at the battle situation below, and then said: "Give an order, order them to circle back from the left, force the charging enemy troops in front to near the mountain on the right, and cut off their connection with the rear team."

"Leave a team of people to raid their rear team later. It will be clear whether there is real support or an empty city strategy."

Yang Jin nodded immediately and ordered someone to pass on the order.

The Flame Army was caught off guard by the sneak attack, and the opponent probably didn't expect that they would calm down quickly and come up with a response plan.

So they realized something was wrong only when they were forced toward the mountain peak and lost contact with the rear.

The people at the rear wanted to immediately step forward to support, but they did not expect that the Flame Army's counterattack would follow closely.

Among the people sitting at the rear was Liang Guo's general who was directing the war this time. He was indeed using an empty city strategy. He seemed to have a lot of people left behind, but in fact there were not many.

He didn't expect that so few people from the Flame Army would dare to attack directly. He was a little panicked for a moment, and immediately ordered a retreat with the priority of saving his own life.

As soon as they withdrew, the group of people who were forced to the foot of the mountain became even more isolated and helpless. In the end, they relied on desperate tactics to break out of a bloody road and led the remaining people to flee back to the direction of Liang Kingdom in embarrassment.

The war lasted until the morning of the next day, and finally came to an end with the retreat of the Liang army.

Jiang Li did not order anyone to chase him. After the opponent retreated, she immediately ordered everyone to return to the military camp.

Although the Liang army retreated in embarrassment in the end, the Flame Army also suffered heavy losses this time.

Countless soldiers were killed and wounded. The military camp, which was usually full of vigor, could now hear the wails of the wounded everywhere.

Jiang Li walked among them, feeling extremely heavy.

After all, she had never really experienced a battlefield, so how could she immediately get used to such human misery?

On the other hand, Yang Jin was in a good mood, because the current results were pretty good compared to last night's situation.

He was also glad that he listened to Jiang Li's words, otherwise if they retreated to Ningcheng, they would soon become turtles in the urn.

Of course, this temporary victory is not enough to make them happy and inspired. There are still many things to do next.

First of all, the people of Ningcheng must evacuate as soon as possible.

This time they held on, which only gave them time to call for help and gave the people time to evacuate.

When Meng Yuanzhou and his men arrived tonight, they were fighting against the many, so they had to retreat to Ningcheng to be able to hold on.

Only by allowing the people to evacuate in advance can the Flame Army have no worries.

Secondly, most of the food and grass in the military camp were burned last night, and they need to be replenished in time.

Fortunately, Jiang Li had prepared this long in advance. Food, grass and medicine had already been transported to Ningcheng. Now he only needed to provide them from Ningcheng.

The last step was to ask the court for help as soon as possible, but preliminary estimates suggest that it would take three to five days for reinforcements to arrive at the earliest.

As for Liang Guo's reinforcements, they will arrive today as expected. In other words, they need to last three to five days with few against many.

Faced with all kinds of things that needed to be dealt with as soon as possible, Jiang Li was too busy to keep his feet on the ground.

It wasn't until lunch time that she finally remembered to ask, "I haven't seen Qin Jue. How is he?"

The main reason why she wasn't too worried about him was that Jiang Li had confidence in his villain buff. In addition, the two of them basically had a life-and-death relationship. If something happened to the other party, she would be the first to know.

But it was one thing to know he wasn't going to die, and another to worry about whether he was hurt.

Although the two are still in a cold war, Jiang Li still has concerns.

Hearing her question, Lan Yin immediately replied: "I went to see the prince. He seems to have been injured a little, but it is not fatal. Princess, don't worry too much."

Hearing that he was injured, Jiang Li frowned slightly and put down the chopsticks he had just picked up.

"Go and have a look."

Lan Yin watched with distress, "Princess, let's eat something first. You have been busy since last night, so you should eat something and take a rest."

Jiang Li shook his head, "I don't know if he is seriously injured, and where can he eat in peace? Let's go and take a look first."

When Jiang Li came to Qin Jue's residence, he was only accompanied by Yu Chifeng.

As soon as he entered the tent, there was a strong smell of blood. Although the smell had almost paralyzed him from last night to now, it still made Jiang Li frown.

Looking at the person lying on the bed, Jiang Li walked over quickly, his brows knitted into a knot, "Are you injured?"

Qin Jue seemed a little surprised to see her. He was slightly startled before replying: "A little injury."

"Why... why are you here?"
