Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Lou couldn’t understand why Long Qian Xing was trying to get close to an adjutant. However, as Long Qian Xing’s men, he was not qualified to ask anything to his Master about his decision. Their relationship was not so close to the point that he would dare to break this barrier.

Long Qian Xing didn’t spend much time with Nan Hua this time and only talked a bit about the war and the route that Nan Luo took. However, his attentive look made Lou felt that their commander was getting stranger.

“Long Xu, do you think it’s fine for us to leave Master be?” Lou asked in a low voice. He felt that there was something that they could do, but he also didn’t dare to do anything. As a servant, he should never ever crossed the line between master and servant unless he wanted to lose his life.

Long Xu glanced at Lou and rubbed his chin. “Perhaps?”

“Huh?”

Long Xu looked in Nan Hua’s direction for a moment before lowering his eyes. Light flickered within his eyes slightly.

“Let’s go and prepare for tomorrow’s battle. You will be the one to lead the soldiers for the defense.”

“Ok.”

…

<Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua’s side>

Moving away from Nan Luo and the others, Long Qian Xing picked a relatively empty and quiet area.

“It has been a tiring day, so I won’t take too much of your time today,” Long Qian Xing said with an apologetic smile on his face.

The war had just started and there would be more battles. It was not possible for them to force themselves too hard so early in the war unless they were planning on sweeping the enemy with fast method.

It was just that this kind of method was impossible to do in this war.

Both Fei Yang Kingdom and Zhang Xu Kingdom were powerful kingdoms and it was impossible for one party to crush the others so easily. The two kingdoms will definitely have a tug of war between the two of them back and forth.𝒪𝗏𝓁xt.𝓬𝒪𝕞

“It’s fine,” Nan Hua replied. “I’m not tired.”

“Your battle plan today is very interesting.” Long Qian Xing chuckled. When he received the report and found out that Nan Hua cooperated with Nan Luo in such a method, he wanted to laugh.

For a weaker and smaller army, fighting head on has always been the most despised method. They were already at the disadvantage in number, was there any need for them to put themselves in more disadvantaged position by fighting a direct battle?

As one knew, direct battles’ ending was usually determined by their number and skills.

If the number was already overwhelming, what kind of battle do you want to fight in the end by putting yourself in the disadvantaged position?

They were not so stupid like that.

“It’s a good way and the fast mobility allowed us to gain some advantage in this battle,” Nan Hua replied humbly.

“Yes.” Long Qian Xing smiled warmly.

Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing and blinked her eyes. She could guess that he must have his own reason for mentioning about this tactic. While this tactic would be quite useful, but it was also hard to do for a long period of time.

First of all, they would only chip away the enemy’s soldiers and will definitely take a long time to achieve the result they wanted. In a direct battle, they would be able to achieve direct result. But in this kind of battle, it was a prolonged battle.

It was because they were the weaker party and couldn’t deal a decisive blow.

Secondly, this kind of battle was also very exhausting. They didn’t only need to hide from the enemy, they also needed to plan the ambush well to make sure that it would not be found out by the enemy before it was the time for the attack.

It was also because of this that the battle was not an easy one to fight.

Thirdly, ambush battles were centered in the element of surprise. The more often they used this method, the more prepared the enemy would be. The element of surprise would be less as they were prepared for an ambush that could come at any time.

So it would be better to use this tactic sparingly and only when it was truly needed.

Ambushing again and again would only make the other party prepared and allowed them to train their soldiers to react in time for the various ambush.

Human’s creativity might be unlimited.

But it was also limited in their own way.

“Does Brother Long has a plan for tomorrow’s battle?” Nan Hua asked slowly.

Long Qian Xing nodded. “I’m thinking of cooperating together between my army and Nan Luo’s army.”

Cooperating together?

Nan Hua’s eyes flashed in surprise.

In terms of number, Long Qian Xing’s army was much larger than Nan Luo. It was not an exaggeration to say that Nan Luo’s army was only at the size of one of the commanders under Long Qian Xing.

It would be strange for Long Qian Xing to ask for collaboration with Nan Luo.

“Would it be appropriate?” Nan Hua asked carefully.

Appropriate?

Long Qian Xing chuckled. “There’s no law that stipulated higher ranked commander couldn’t cooperate with someone at lower ranked. Besides, the main reason why I want to cooperate is because of this tactic that you made today.”

The tactic?

Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing, her black obsidian pupil was staring straight in Long Qian Xing’s direction. Her eyes were very clear and reflected her clarity. At this time, there was some thoughts in Nan Hua’s mind, but she chose to wait for Long Qian Xing to say it by himself.

“There should be some other similar tactics that you have inside your head, right?” Long Qian Xing asked, his tone was certain and this question sounded more like stating a fact rather than asking a question.
