The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapters 276. Xia Yuan An's
The luxurious Emperor wooden table that was usually in the center of the room at this time had been shifted to the side and replaced with a large wooden table with a clearly visible miniature of the Shao imperial territory.
Seen outside the border, the enemy troops were represented with several small horse statues, some of the only triangular-shaped warrior statues were laid out regularly like actual sightings in the field. These triangles had several different colors according to the weapons they used during the war.
Within an army, there will be a division of troops into parts according to their weapons and duties. Horsemen riding with swords using a brown horse statue while horsemen who use arrows using a dark blue horse statue.
The large number of statues and the size of the Mounted Statue also represent the number of troops themselves. Usually, each statue of both a horse and a triangle represents a thousand troops for a large statue and a hundred troops represented by one small statue. The rules apply to the existing triangle colors. Brown represents the sword, blue represents the arrow. In addition there are also statues with green color that indicates if they are healers.
Above the haughty border wall, several small triangles were placed there. While behind the border wall, several large triangles lined up neatly. They look if they will run immediately when getting a command ssja. Some other triangles are in some places named in miniature which is the number of troops that are under someone's supervision.
"Enemy troops have a very large number. Fearful even if we deploy all the troops present in the Empire, they are still unable to keep up with the enemy army." General Yuan spoke after he finished analyzing the kedaan.
"But I don't think we can deploy all the troops there or the palace will be empty. With an empty palace will give the rebels a golden opportunity to act." Pei Qin Yang gave his opinion.
"Hamba agreed with King Yuan's words. The capital cannot be empty at all. The security of the capital should be prioritized first."
"How can we anticipate winning by using only a small army?" General Lie nodded his head.
"I know." Pei Zhang Xi placed several deep blue triangles symbolizing the troops with arrows up the border wall. Signifies if he proposes to place the archers on the wall.
"That can be done. But in order to at least cripple a third of their troops, a large army of archers would be needed because an arrow alone would most likely not be able to kill a soldier directly."
"Hamba knows. What if we ask for help from someone who can make some kind of poison that can help us to tear down the opposing army. And I know who can help us." General Yuan said with a mysterious smile on his lips.
"Who?"
General Yuan did not immediately reply but asked permission to retreat and call the person he was referring to.
Standing with his head lowered, Xia Yuan An saluted Emperor Pei An Long and the others. Xia Yuan An was still wearing the uniform of a warrior until this moment. Ever since the heartbreaking incident he experienced that took the life of his sister and had also claimed his honor at the same time, Xia Yuan An chose to dispose of his past. That's why he chose to disguise himself as a man and use the name of his sister, Xia Chen. Only General Yuan who had helped him back then knew his true identity.
"Hamba Xia Chen is ready to run the task. Although I understand only a few types of poison, I know the appropriate type of poison used during war. This type of poison has a recipe that is very common and cheap but regarding its efficacy there is no need to doubt." Xia Yuan An raised his face as he explained. His stern-looking eyes explained that his confidence was quite high. Making everyone in the room unconsciously believe in what he said.
"alright. Since General Yuan seems to believe in your abilities a lot, I will also believe in you. But first tell me how this poison will work?" Pei Zhang Xi nodded in understanding before he said to Xia Yuan An.
"Toxins made from herbs in the form of pasta and smeared on the tip of the arrow. A warrior even a horse that was exposed to this poison though only slightly would experience numbness as this poison attacked the joint. The effect of this poison although it is not dangerous to the point of claiming lives but this poison can hold these soldiers inside the battlefield." Xia Yuan An clearly explained.
"good. Ha-ha-ha-ha. Real nice. This way even though our troops are few, we will be able to win easily. Private Xia, at this war your job is to make sure that poison is available in large quantities. You do not need to go to war on the battlefield directly. And once this war is over, I will personally raise your rank." Emperor Pei An Long laughed happily at Xia Yuan An's explanation.
"Thank You Your Majesty. Servants are very lucky to be able to work for the Shao Empire and especially His Majesty."
"good good. Then just do as I planned. Everyone immediately did their respective part of the task." Emperor Pei An Long gave the order. The enemy troops were already getting closer to the Shao Empire. They can't measure time any longer.
