Flower Stealing Master

Chapter 503: Song Qingshu’s Back-up Plan

After several discussions, Song Qingshu finally decided that Situ Bolei’s troops, Shui Jian’s troops and Yang Miaozhen’s Red Coat Army would ambush at Fox Hill in advance.

Most of Situ Bolei’s Wangwu Sect members left the Guanning Iron Cavalry that was once feared by the world. As Shui Jian was the former general of the Ming Dynasty, he was also good at training soldiers. Therefore, their troops were the only elite troops left in the 12 Golden Snake Battalions. 

Not to mention the Red Coat Army, which had been regarded as a major threat by the Jin Empire for many years. The 300 people brought by Yang Miaozhen this time were the elite of the Red Coat Army.

This night attack was of great importance. First, they had to hide their tracks and second, they had to fight bravely. Soldiers were more important than quantity. Therefore, Song Qingshu did not add some mobs to it.

Song Qingshu handed over the command of these three troops to Yang Miaozhen. Situ Bolei and Shui Jian did not have much objection. After all, the fourth lady of the Red Coat Army had been famous for many years and her prestige was not inferior to that of Yuan Chengzhi in the past.

On the contrary, Yang Miaozhen had a complicated expression. She looked at Song Qingshu and asked in a joking tone: “You gave me the most elite troops of the Golden Snake Camp. Aren’t you afraid that I will deliberately bury them in this battle?”

Song Qingshu smiled slightly: “Although this Song and the Fourth Lady have known each other for a short time, I can understand a little about the character of the Fourth Lady. The Fourth Lady is a rare female hero, and she is as brave as a tigress. How could she do such a petty behavior?”

“It’s useless for you to flatter me. Haven’t you heard that women are petty?” Although Yang Miaozhen said that she didn’t care, her slightly raised eyebrows showed that she was quite happy with this flattery.

Song Qingshu smiled without saying anything, and then began to arrange the tasks for the rest of the people.

The disciples of Prince Mu Palace, the Heaven and Earth Society, Emei Sect, Qingzhu Gang, Xia Qingqing’s Department, and other sects were arranged at various mountain passes along the way. 

When everyone saw the terrain on the sand table, they couldn’t help but exclaimed.

“Brother Song, these places are outside the Eagle Valley.” Mu Jiansheng couldn’t help wondering. He remembered that Song Qingshu had said before that the Eagle Valley was the only way for the invader soldiers to flee, and Chu Hongliu led his men to ambush there.

“Does the young master really think that Chu Hongliu has the ability to stop the invader soldiers?” Song Qingshu asked back.

Everyone in the hall was startled. Even if the night attack was successful, the other side had 30,000 people after all. Their night attack looked huge, but after all, they had limited manpower, and the damage to the invader soldiers was naturally limited. So even if the invader soldiers fled, there were still tens of thousands of people. Although Chu Hongliu was waiting there, he could never stop them.

Thinking that Song Qingshu had induced Chu Hongliu to sign a military order step by step before, many people had already mourned for Chu Hongliu in advance. Now the key is whether Song Qingshu can successfully defeat the Tu Hai tribe.

“Qingshu, what are we going to do?” Seeing that other people had more or less been assigned tasks, Yin Liting couldn’t help asking.

Song Qingshu’s face turned serious: “The next step is the most critical link. If the night attack is to succeed, there must be experts to create chaos inside the Qing army camp…” 

There were many martial arts masters in the hall. These people may not be more useful than those well-trained soldiers in killing enemies, but following the popular special forces system in various countries in the previous life, Song Qingshu decided to organize these people to mix into the Qing army camp, make full use of martial arts, and run away as soon as they touch the enemy. 

They will not confront the enemy head-on, create chaos everywhere in the camp, and create opportunities for the night attack troops outside. Because of the potential huge danger, although many people expressed their willingness to mix into the Qing army camp with Song Qingshu, Song Qingshu still selected some people with poor martial arts. 

The final list of members were the following: Song Qingshu, Huang Rong, Ah Jiu, Zhang Songxi, Yin Liting, Xiao Feng, Yelu Nanxian, Yelu Qi and others, although there weren’t many people, they were all top masters in the world. 

What they had to do was mainly to fan the flames everywhere and create chaos. As long as they were not surrounded, it should not be too difficult to get out. After discussing some details, Yang Miaozhen, Situ Bolei and Shui Jian led the troops to ambush at Fox Hill in advance. The disciples of Mu Palace, the Heaven and Earth Society and other sects also set off in advance to their respective locations dozens of miles away to ambush.

Before leaving, Xia Qingqing looked at Song Qingshu deeply. After all, their relationship was a bit shady. She was embarrassed to say anything more to Song Qingshu. She could only communicate with her eyes and told him to take care of himself.

Zhou Zhiruo didn’t have so many concerns. After all, she was Song Qingshu’s legal wife. Before leaving with Emei Sect, she secretly pulled Song Qingshu aside: “Qingshu, you must promise me that if things can’t be done, remember to save your life. Fighting for hegemony is just a passing cloud. I only want you. When the time comes, we will go back to Emei together and live happily for the rest of our lives.”

Song Qingshu smiled bitterly in his heart. If it really came to that, could he bring other women to Emei? You must be joking…

But Song Qingshu was also deeply moved. After all, although Zhou Zhiruo looked gentle, she was a strong woman who devoted herself to her career. The fact that she was saying such words proved that she really cared about him to the core…

“Okay, I promise you.” Song Qingshu said seriously, “But Zhiruo, you must be careful on this trip. Remember what I told you, don’t chase after desperate enemies. Your main task on this trip is to plant flags all over the mountains and plains to bluff, use traps, falling rocks, wooden weapons and other hidden weapons as much as possible, and try to avoid direct confrontation with the invader soldiers.”

Zhou Zhiruo nodded: “Well, I’ll go then.”

When all the troops left, only Song Qingshu and a group of masters who were selected to infiltrate the Qing army camp were left in the hall. 

Xiao Feng, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said: “Brother Song, please forgive me for speaking frankly. Even if we can successfully blow up the Qing army camp, your subsequent series of plans seem to be difficult to cause serious damage to the Qing army. Chu Hongliu can’t stop the fleeing soldiers, even if the Tiandihui, Mu Wangfu and other factions are added later, I’m afraid they can’t stop them either.”

Huang Rong also nodded in agreement: “I see the arrangement of the Young Master—the main purpose of the Mu Palace, the Heaven and Earth Society and others does not seem to be to take the opportunity to eliminate the invaders’ defeated soldiers, but to use the opportunity to confuse them. Does the young master have any other tricks? “

Before Song Qingshu answered, Huang Rong shook her head again: “Now all the troops that can be mobilized have been mobilized. Even if there are tricks, there are no soldiers available.”

Yin Liting was stunned: “From what you two said, you want to take the opportunity to wipe out the Qing soldiers, but didn’t you say before that the Golden Snake Camp can take the opportunity to escape into the mountains and preserve its strength after winning a victory?”

Huang Rong said softly: “Hero Yin doesn’t know that although Young Master Song’s plan sounds a bit whimsical, it may succeed if you think about it carefully. Once it succeeds, it will be a great victory that will shock the world, but if we can’t take the opportunity to wipe out Tu Hai’s forces, it will always feel like a pity. “

Xiao Feng nodded in agreement. It was fine before, and he was satisfied with a small victory, but after Song Qingshu’s analysis, he, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, was keenly aware that it was possible to wipe out Tu Hai’s army. Unfortunately, he had no soldiers at hand now, and he really didn’t have the spare energy to eat up those defeated soldiers in one breath.

“You two are really knowledgeable and can see the problem with the previous plan at a glance. I really don’t have any available troops, but…” Song Qingshu changed the subject and smiled slightly, “We can mobilize the heavenly soldiers to help.”
