Chapter 667 Ambush
Tianxiaomen, command center.
Zheng Feiying looked to be in his 40s or 50s, wearing armor, tall and strong, with a mustache. Upon hearing the news of the army's arrival, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"How many people are there in this army?"
"One hundred thousand."
The people below replied.
"What a coincidence! There are also 100,000 people in my city. 100,000 against 100,000. Isn't Lin Xiaofan good at defeating the majority with the minority? Let's see who is better, him or me."
There was a flash of arrogance in Zheng Feiying's eyes.
Now he is number one on the list of divine generals and has experienced hundreds of battles.
In his opinion, Lin Xiaofan was just lucky. Most of the battles he fought were against some small fry and miscellaneous troops.
He does have some skills, but compared to him, he is far behind.
The most important thing is that no one would have thought that at this time, the Tianlang Kingdom would not let him guard the capital, but let him come to the border.
The news of his coming was kept strictly confidential. According to outside sources, the only garrison commander here was Situ Zhen, who was ranked 25th on the Godly Generals List.
Lin Xiaofan might also underestimate the enemy.
His goal was very simple, to defeat Daqian's 100,000 troops within half a month and force Daqian to live in fear for the next five years.
"General Zheng, I just got some news."
Situ Zhen walked in from outside.
"The few spies you placed in the mountains have found the traces of the Daqian army. They have divided their troops into about 20,000 and are crossing the mountains to enter our inland areas."
Zheng Feiying nodded slightly, took out a red flag and planted it outside Lingnan City.
"That can only be it. How many people died crossing the mountain?"
Situ Zhen frowned slightly and said:
"It's strange, the spies said no one was killed."
"Normal. That's the capability of the Vanguard Army."
Zheng Feiying nodded slightly.
"The one who leads the Vanguard Army can only be Lin Xiaofan. In other words, the 100,000 troops outside the city are led by Chen Tian. It's hard to say for sure, Jian Feng and Jian Bai may also come."
"What a pity. I thought I could fight with Lin Xiaofan, but it seems like this fight is meaningless."
Zheng Feiying talked to himself.
"Situ Zhen, didn't they have a rush in the first round of siege? You should first show a flaw, let them attack a little, then put up a hard resistance, and finally drive them away. If Lin Xiaofan is here, then you should just play normally."
"promise."
Situ Zhen received the order.
"Just right here."
Lin Xiaofan stopped and saw the majestic Lingnan City in front of him.
"Xu Wen, I'm counting on you here."
Lin Xiaofan patted Xu Wen on the shoulder.
"Don't worry."
Xu Wen nodded heavily.
Now most of the Tianlang Kingdom’s army is tied up and unable to spare any troops, so he has plenty of time to attack the city.
This was his first battle, and the only goal he set for himself was to win.
The Anbu members took off their armor and disguised themselves as refugees. Xiao Han led them away.
The cities within the Sirius Country are not closed, so refugees can take the opportunity to enter and gather intelligence.
Duanmu Liangjiang, Lei Pokong and Xu Wu each brought 300 selected elite soldiers and headed towards the northwest under the leadership of Lin Xiaofan.
That is the direction of the capital of Tianlang Kingdom.
Because they were wearing armor, they mostly walked on remote paths and went around many cities.
Fortunately, they had a detailed map and several Anbu people who had been in the Tianlang Country for many years leading the way, so they did not lose their way.
After walking for about half a month, the food they had on them was almost gone.
Lin Xiaofan and a few others sneaked into the city once and bought some food.
But since there were no horse-drawn carriages, things had to be transported by manpower, and not much could be taken away.
In the woods, nine hundred soldiers picked wild fruits, hunted and made fires. They grew up in the countryside and knew what they could and could not eat in the wild.
He also knows how to make fire and cook.
"There are so many mosquitoes this summer."
Xu Wu slapped the mosquito that landed on his body and started complaining.
Duanmu Liangjiang supported his chin with one hand and carefully looked at the map in front of him, as if he was looking for the next route.
Lei Pokong looked at the map for a long time but didn't understand anything.
With Duanmu Liangjiang and Lin Xiaofan, he doesn't need to use his brain too much.
Not long after, Lin Xiaofan returned with several disguised soldiers.
"I got the news. The grain transport team from Daliang will pass by here tonight. Let's fight."
"After this battle, our position will be exposed."
Lei Pokong frowned.
Duanmu Liangjiang thought about it and immediately understood Lin Xiaofan’s arrangement.
"We have at least a thousand men. Even though we have a map, who knows where the Sirius' spies are? It's only a matter of time before we are exposed."
"Even if we are exposed, the Tianlang Nation will at most send people to encircle and suppress us, and they won't take us seriously."
Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly:
"Indeed, if we just wait here, we don't know when the Tianlang will withdraw. Before that, we're just sitting there doing nothing, so we might as well do something useful."
"Then do it!"
Lei Pokong picked up his sword. He hadn't fought a battle in five years, and he was really frustrated.
"Try to use local materials in this battle, and keep the thunderbolts and crossbows."
Lin Xiaofan only said one sentence, because these generals knew how to fight.
The soldiers began to get busy, and Lin Xiaofan ate a little.
The sun was about to set, and the grain transport team was getting closer and closer from the distance.
The team was very long, and the people transporting the food were all soldiers. At a glance, there were about seven or eight hundred people.
Since they were within the territory of the Tianlang Kingdom, they entered the woods without any precautions.
"Hurry up and get to the city before sunset. There are many poisonous snakes and fierce beasts in this forest. It's okay during the day, but at night, someone might die."
The general began to urge them to do so, but he could not use sticks to beat the soldiers under him.
Perhaps the soldiers were afraid, so they increased their speed a little.
"Seven or eight hundred new recruits, no problem."
Duanmu Liangjiang held a large bow in his hand.
He made this by himself. Since he had to keep the crossbows for fighting the enemy and it was inconvenient to hunt without long-range weapons, he made a few large bows.
In order to stop the grain transport team, I worked overtime this afternoon to make a lot of bows and arrows.
"Duanmu, are you shooting accurately? Don't let me down."
Lei Pokong opened his mouth and looked at the big bow in Duanmu Liangjiang's hand with a bit of envy in his eyes.
His archery skills were poor to begin with, and the bow and arrow were crudely made, so they couldn't hit people at a long distance, so he didn't take it.
"Don't worry."
Duanmu Liangjiang did not give any further explanation to the doubts, but instead drew his bow.
With a slight sound, an arrow shot out from the jungle.
The leader of the grain transport team was still urging the soldiers to move forward faster when he suddenly felt something was wrong.
The next moment, his neck was pierced and he fell to the ground.
The adjutant next to him took off his helmet because he felt hot. Two arrows passed through his ears and another hit his temple.
The two fell to the ground in response.
