Fighting for Love Episode 14 Recap
> Fighting for Love Recap
A Mai heard that the Northern Desert army had arrived nearby, but their traces were temporarily undetectable. Tang Shaoyi received a mission to find the Northern Desert's camp, so A Mai quietly slipped out of the military camp and searched for the Northern Desert's hidden position with Tang Shaoyi. When she was young, A Mai's father often taught her tactics, which she could now put to good use.
Sure enough, in a short while, A Mai led Tang Shaoyi to find the Northern Desert forces. The Eldest Princess Shenghua's mansion had been placed under house arrest by imperial decree. She immediately notified Shang Yizhi's military advisor, urging them to proceed with caution and by no means be captured by the Emperor. A Mai returned to the military camp and was quickly caught by the squad leader.
According to military law, leaving the camp without permission is punishable by beheading. Moreover, the squad leader had long wanted to find an excuse to drive A Mai out. Now that she was caught red-handed, the squad leader called a few men to pin A Mai to the ground, then severely reprimanded her, saying she had no upbringing and disgraced her parents. A Mai hated it most when people mentioned her parents.
Hearing the squad leader constantly cursing, she couldn't help but step forward and punch the squad leader twice. The patrolling leader saw them fighting and took both the squad leader and A Mai to Shang Yizhi's main camp. The military advisor was also there. Tang Shaoyi had just reported that he and A Mai had found the Northern Desert's hiding place. Now that A Mai was caught, handling the case was indeed quite tricky.
Fortunately, the military advisor handled it with great discretion, first separating the offenses of leaving the camp without permission and fighting. When the squad leader heard that A Mai had found the Northern Desert army's hiding place just by careful observation, respect spontaneously arose in him, and he naturally no longer mentioned the matter of leaving the camp without permission. The military advisor punished each of them with twenty strokes of the plank.
Shang Yizhi heard A Mai's cries during the caning outside and felt uneasy. The military advisor also knew that the punisher didn't know the severity, so he asked Mu Bai to administer the caning on their behalf. With Mu Bai deliberately going easy, A Mai and the squad leader finally survived with half a life left. In the evening, Shang Yizhi brought wound medicine for A Mai.
A Mai refused to let Shang Yizhi approach and insisted on applying the medicine herself. Now that the Northern Desert army's hiding place had been found, Shang Yizhi couldn't help but voice his worry. It was his first time confronting the Northern Desert army head-on, and he felt uncertain. A Mai could understand Shang Yizhi's worries, so she took out the battle map she had just drawn and showed it to Shang Yizhi.
Although they were outnumbered by the enemy, warfare required elite soldiers and good generals. As long as they planned meticulously and arranged tactics well, there was still a fifty percent chance of victory. After carefully listening to A Mai's entire battle plan, Shang Yizhi felt a chill down his spine. This plan was completely about striking at the root.
If they defeated the Northern Desert army, they could use the spoils to support the war, taking advantage of the grain and fodder the Northern Desert had stationed to lead the army north. But if they failed, all the soldiers would die with him. Not only that, but the people in the city would also suffer. The closer it got to the battle, the less confident Shang Yizhi felt.
Mu Bai quietly called A Mai aside, hoping she could counsel Shang Yizhi. Shang Yizhi was worried that if he made a wrong decision, he would let down the brothers who fought alongside him in bloody battles. A Mai told Shang Yizhi the words her father had once used to encourage her. Soldiers joined the army to protect their homes. Since ancient times, a general's success comes at the cost of countless lives.
For all the soldiers to survive, courage and willpower are needed. They must fight with all their might in the great battle tomorrow. A Mai leaned closer to Shang Yizhi, resting her head on Shang Yizhi's shoulder. Shang Yizhi's masculinity was completely ignited, and he was determined to win this battle. All troops were ready to go. Shang Yizhi fastened his battle robe, preparing to lead the three armies into battle against the enemy.
Just then, an imperial decree from the Emperor arrived. Without needing to be read aloud, its content was known. Shang Yizhi immediately stepped forward and pressed down on the eunuch's hand, stating that he was going to lead the troops into battle, that military matters could not be delayed, and that they could discuss it again upon his triumphant return.
Just as Shang Yizhi led his troops away, the eunuch suddenly came to his senses and prepared to chase after him to read the imperial decree. Shi Dachun again calmed the eunuch down, claiming that the Northern Desert army was now less than a hundred miles away. If Shang Yizhi were not allowed to lead his troops into battle, this time they might not return. Hearing that the enemy army was less than a hundred miles away, and that they would be counter-killed if they didn't resist, the eunuch's legs turned soft, and he immediately retreated within the city walls, waiting for Shang Yizhi to return.
