During this personal expedition, Li Chen did not conceal the news, but instead asked Wu Qingcang to publicize it with great fanfare.
Originally, the symbolic significance and morale-boosting purpose of the prince's personal expedition was much greater than the actual battle. If Li Chen continued to cover up the news, it would be a typical case of neglecting the important and pursuing the inferior.
After a simple expedition ceremony, 20,000 elites drawn from various armies set off with Li Chen and headed straight for Luofengpo.
And this news was immediately sent to Yelu Shenxuan.
Immediately, suitors gathered.
No one would miss the temptation to capture or kill the Prince of Qin with his own hands.
However, in the face of the angry requests for war from his subordinates, Yelu Shenxuan suppressed them all.
After thinking for a long time, he decided to do the same in person.
The layout of Luofengpo was indeed carefully crafted by him.
It was done casually. Yelu Shenxuan did not expect that this little trick would be difficult for Li Chen, but Li Chen's solution by personal conquest was indeed beyond his expectation.
From the time the two started fighting until now, Yelu Shenxuan has always lost more than he has won...almost not.
It was precisely because of these experiences that Li Chen became accustomed to making huge bets again and again. Yelu Shenxuan did not believe that he could not win even once.
Therefore, facing Li Chen's personal conquest, Yelu Shenxuan decided to personally deal with Li Chen.
Since Li Chen is used to taking risks and always thinks that he can win in the end, Yelu Shenxuan will try to hack him to death on Luofengpo.
If the goal is really achieved, then the winner will be decided in this decisive battle.
Even if Li Chen fails to be captured or killed, it doesn't matter. Yelu Shenxuan is sure to crush Li Chen at the war level. As long as the prince's personal expedition fails, the morale of the Qin army will inevitably suffer a heavy blow.
Yelu Shenxuan, who felt that he was not at a loss anyway, immediately raised his troops to attack Luofengpo.
But on the issue of how many troops to raise, Yelu Shenxuan hesitated.
"Prince, although our army has the upper hand at the moment, there are heavy troops on all fronts. As a result, there are fewer available troops. And could this be a strategy of the Qin army? To lure us to divide up our troops to besiege the enemy.
Fengpo, so as to conduct an encirclement and suppression campaign on the main force's side?"
The words of his staff officer made Yelu Shenxuan frown deeply.
He just took this issue into consideration.
If this were placed on others, Yelu Shenxuan really didn't believe that an empire's prince would use his own life as bait to lure him to send a large number of troops. If he didn't manage it well and cost his own life, he would be clever and be defeated.
If you are smart and wrong, you will lose everything.
But this person was Li Chen, and Yelu Shenxuan was really traumatized by his deviating sword moves.
"How many soldiers and horses can be transferred directly now? How many are left in Luofengpo?" Yelu Shenxuan asked.
"There are still 30,000 people who can maneuver and adjust, and 60,000 people are participating in the battle at Luofengpo."
The staff officer immediately replied. After thinking for a while, he added: "The 60,000 soldiers in Luofengpo can still fight after being damaged."
"In just this short period of time, Luofengpo lost more than 10,000 people?" Yelu Shenxuan said solemnly.
The staff officer looked miserable and said: "The soldiers on the front line have run out of food, and the news of Li Chen's personal expedition has spread. The Qin army at Luofengpo performed very bravely. The battle losses expanded instantly."
