As for the people, Xia Younan learned that although the armor of the two sides was similar, the enemy soldiers all had a red tassel on their hats, which was particularly conspicuous, while his own soldiers did not have that.

So Xia Younan had people make hats for the enemy soldiers and trained Yinxue and other wolves to pounce on people wearing hats. When they tried to pounce on soldiers without red tassel hats, Xia Younan would immediately stop them.

After repeating this several times, the wild wolves will realize that they can only bite people wearing hats with red tassels, and cannot bite those without red tassels.

Xia Younan laid out his thoughts, and everyone looked at each other without saying anything.

This sounds like a fantasy and they have no confidence that they can accomplish it.

The crowd was silent for a while, and You Zenmu spoke again: "How long will it take to train the wild wolves in so many items? Can they be trained well and ensure that they will not hurt our own soldiers? It has been half a month since the prince was trapped."

Xia Younan pursed his lips and thought for a while, then said firmly: "Give me ten days, I will try my best. Yinxue is not like an ordinary wild wolf. It grew up beside me since it was young, and it will definitely guess what I mean.

"It is the wolf king and can command all the wild wolves in its own way. So as long as Yinxue is trained well, there won't be any problems."

"Then...just give it a try." Zenmu finally nodded.

"Let's give it a try. We are outnumbered and have no other choice." The others agreed, thinking that they might as well give it a try. What if it works?

It is far from enough to just solve the problem of wolves. Xia Younan knows that his senior brother Zenmu was very fond of studying historical military affairs in modern times, and was also quite knowledgeable about the deployment of battle formations. So he asked him to create some powerful formations for the three armies to train in order to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Zenmu readily agreed and said he would do it when he got back.

After it was agreed upon, everyone divided the work and cooperated with each other. Chanmu, his fellow brothers and Xiaoyou studied the formation, while Xia Younan took people to train the wild wolves.

She had no time to sleep. She sent people to purchase white dye overnight to dye the horses, and also asked people to get the enemy's clothes and hats so that the wolves could recognize them.

After the dye was purchased, all three armies were mobilized, and in just one day, tens of thousands of brown-red horses were dyed into snow-white.

Afterwards, Xia Younan found a large forest, had all the horses tied up in the forest, and then took Yin Xue and the wolves to the forest.

At the beginning, when the wolves saw so many horses, their hunting instinct was instantly aroused and they rushed up howling.

The horses were naturally frightened and were in a mess. Their neighings resounded through the sky. Their desire to survive made them want to escape, but they were tied to the trees. They were like ants on a hot pan, struggling constantly.

Xia Younan stood between the "two armies". When she saw the wolf about to rush up, she immediately stood in front of it with a serious expression and shouted Yin Xue's name loudly.

Yinxue's animal desire was blocked by her, but the other wolves could not suppress it and rushed to eat the horse.

Xia Younan made up his mind and rushed forward to block it with his own flesh and blood.

The wolves couldn't hold back any longer and were about to pounce on her in anger!

At the critical moment, Yin Xue could do nothing but rush forward and start fighting with the wolf.

The identity of the Silver Snow Wolf King is not to be underestimated. After several rounds, the irrational wolf was defeated. Its leg was bitten by Silver Snow and bled. It lay on the ground honestly and dared not move.

There were others who wanted to step forward, but were stopped by Xia Younan and Yin Xue.

The wolves, who were filled with animal instincts, were afraid of the dignity of the wolf king and did not dare to hurt Xia Younan. They could only suppress the surging animal desires in their bodies and looked at the fat white horse not far away, grinning and whimpering.

Xia Younan breathed a sigh of relief, tensed his nerves, and stared at the situation in front of him without relaxing for a moment, while carefully leading the wolves to move among the white horses to let them get familiar with each other.

Whenever a wolf tried to take advantage of the situation, she would immediately ask Yin Xue to stop it.

As a result, Xia Younan didn't dare to close his eyes every night for the first three days, fearing that something might go wrong. Fortunately, Yin Xue was very capable and kept a tight control on the wolf cubs under his command, biting them as soon as they moved!

The horses had been terrified for the first two days and were in a state of shock, but after gradually realizing that the wolves would not harm them, they relaxed and no longer panicked, and they ate grass and rested as usual.

After a while, the wild wolves completely realized that the white horse in front of them was not to be eaten, and they no longer had any hostility towards it. Sometimes Xia Younan hid in the dark and observed quietly, and found that even without her, the wild wolves no longer attacked the white horse.

The white horse, on the other hand, ate and drank as it pleased, and did not take the wolf pack seriously at all.

After finishing this, Xia Younan asked someone to release the eliminated reddish-brown horse and shouted, "Yinxue, go!"

Yin Xue was very smart, no longer suppressing his identity as a brutal hunter, and led the pack of wolves to charge forward...

Xia Younan knew that she had succeeded.

The next step was to train them to recognize people and horses. The soldiers were asked to wear the enemy's clothes and their own clothes respectively. Whenever the wild wolves bit one of their own people, Xia Younan would scold them harshly.

When they attacked people wearing enemy clothes, Xia Younan would not stop them, but would have people prepare some beef and mutton to feed them as a reward and encouragement.

Of course, she didn't really let them bite her. She would prepare a ladder by the wall in advance so that the soldiers playing the enemy could hide there.

In this way, the smart wild wolves quickly realized the pattern: as long as they bit the soldiers wearing red tasseled hats, they could have meat to eat, but if they bit the soldiers without red tasseled hats, they would be scolded.

Ten days passed, and after Xia Younan's painstaking training and repeated experiments, the wild wolves were successfully tamed and became good hands for them to prepare for the charge.

Wolves have iron heads and tofu waists. In order to ensure the safety of the wild wolves as much as possible, Xia Younan was particularly foresighted and had people sew waist armor for each wolf.

Zenmu was also very powerful. He created some mysterious and powerful formations that are famous in modern history, such as the "Long Snake Formation", "Two Dragons Emerging from Water Formation", and "Ten Sides Ambush Formation", and successfully taught everyone how to use them.

Everything was ready. On the 25th day after Lu Xiuyuan was trapped, they gathered their forces and marched towards Fuyang City.

At the same time, Fuyang City!

Lu Xiuyuan was sitting in the study looking at the military strategy map, feeling dizzy and seeing stars in front of his eyes.

He was so tired, and looked extremely haggard.

He had lost dozens of pounds, and his bright eyes were now filled with fatigue and bloodshot. His once smooth mouth was now covered with green stubble, his lips were white and cracked, and his face was a sallow color that was caused by malnutrition.

The life and death of 70,000 soldiers and horses rested in his hands. He had to stabilize the morale of the troops while racking his brains to think of a way to break out. He was exhausted both physically and mentally.

"Your Highness," Su Yu and Chen Yi knocked on the door and walked in, reporting to him with worried faces, "The military rations we brought are almost exhausted."

Lu Xiuyuan was not surprised. He rubbed his aching temple and sighed, "How long will it last for all the soldiers?"

"Three days at most." Su Yu replied.

Chen Yi also sighed, "We started eating two meals a day half a month ago. The soldiers haven't had a full meal for half a month. Now 70,000 soldiers are starving and their combat effectiveness is much lower than before."

Lu Xiuyuan didn't say anything else. He closed his eyes and thought for a few seconds, then suddenly opened them again, "Tomorrow, all the military rations will be used up so that the soldiers can have a full meal at once. The day after tomorrow morning, follow me to break out of the encirclement!"

Su Yu was startled and asked hurriedly: "Your Majesty, do you mean we don't need to wait for rescue?"

Lu Xiuyuan clenched his fists, looked at him angrily and said, "It's already this time, do you think Tang Guojing will come to save us?"

He knew that Tang Guojing was dissatisfied with being deprived of his position as commander, but he did not expect that he would ignore the country's 70,000 troops for personal gain.

With such a narrow mind, he will never be able to shoulder important responsibilities!
