7800 Chapter 7798-one step ahead
With a sweep of his divine sense, the numbers he counted were faster and more accurate than the soldiers ‘counting.
“Bury the bodies on the spot and bring the spoils back to the camp.”
Lin Yi gave the order and led the guards unit through the forest and back to their resting place.
Jin Yuan Bao followed Lin Yi’s orders and quickly buried the body before returning with a full harvest.
When the Army set off again, the morale of the soldiers was obviously higher, and they had a lot more recognition and respect for Lin Yi as their commander.
Lin Yi, Wu yucao, Zhang Yiming, and Jin Yuan Bao were all in the formation, surrounded by guards, but they kept a distance from the four.
“Deputy Commander-in-Chief, the main force of this ambush is from seitong Commandery. The black magic Commandery supplies armor-piercing crossbows, and some people from Hongshang Commandery provide cover. Their purpose is to deal with us!”
Lin Yi’s face was calm, as if he was talking about something irrelevant. He didn’t feel like he was being targeted at all. “It’s just that the forest before was too small, and only two thousand men could be hidden in it. Otherwise, there would be even more ambushes this time. ”
Jin Yuan Bao smacked his lips, and his chubby little face showed a regretful expression.””That’s a pity. If I had known earlier, I would have planted more trees here so that they would have more opportunities to send more people to ambush us. This way, they should be able to send more Black Spirit Ferghana horses and armor-piercing crossbows, right?”
Lin Yi couldn’t help but smile-what Jin Yuanbao said didn’t seem wrong!
“Should I investigate these people in tingfeng Hall?” Zhang Yiming laughed. Or are you deliberately letting them continue with the event?”
“Don’t joke around!”
Wu yucao didn’t think it was a funny thing.””This time, they targeted our main force. They only failed because of the Marshal. If they had targeted the forward strike Battalion or the Scout Battalion, do you think the result would be the same?”
Jin Yuan Bao and Zhang Yiming looked at each other and fell into silence.
Just as Wu yucao said, two thousand soldiers with a thousand armor-piercing crossbows would have caused thousands of casualties if it wasn’t for Lin Yi.
If the appetite of this ambush was smaller and they were targeting li Yingjian’s forward strike Battalion … The forward strike Battalion would have been completely annihilated!
As for the Scout Camp, there were too few of them. The ambushers would definitely not use the scouts to alert the enemy.
“The Vice Commander-in-Chief is right. Commander Zhang, although the tingfeng camp has just been established, you must get into character as soon as possible. The Scout Camp is not suitable for enemies who are hiding in the dark. You have a heavy responsibility!”
Lin Yi looked at Zhang Yiming.
To be honest, this request was a bit too much for the newly established surveillance camp and Zhang Yiming.
After all, the function of the surveillance camp was similar to the intelligence system of the brocade guard in ancient Huaxia. It was almost impossible to pull some people from the garrison of the king’s city and put them to use.
Zhang Yiming smiled bitterly to himself, but didn’t reject the offer. He cupped his fists and bowed to Lin Yi.”Yes, general. I will not fail my mission!”
“This matter is indeed a little difficult for you, but no one else can do better than you!”
Lin Yi encouraged casually before changing the topic.”The ambush this time has given me a warning. If we rush over, it may not be smooth-sailing on the way. Once we reach the northern border, we may have to face three cities that have already been attacked from both the inside and the outside.”
“So I have decided that after we set up camp tonight, I will secretly take the guards unit and head to the northern border!”
“Marshal! Isn’t it too dangerous to only bring 800 guards?”
“No!” Wu yucao immediately objected.”Seitong Commandery claims that they have 200000 troops in the battle of the northern border. It’s meaningless to send 800 personal guards there!”
She was just short of saying “Marshal, you’re bringing 800 people over. This can’t even be considered as delivering food, it’s only a snack before a meal!”
In a war between large corporations, individual strength didn’t really have much use. Lin Yi was strong, but even if he was made of iron, how many nails could he hit?
It wasn’t that Wu yucao didn’t believe in Lin Yi’s strength, but the problem was that he had an Army of 200000 soldiers. How many sheep could he kill alone?
“No! Vice Commander-in-Chief, you’re wrong. 800 people is not a lot, but the guards unit is made up of the elites of the Army, the sharpest blades. The smaller the number, the more flexible they are, and more suitable for this operation!”
Lin Yi didn’t want to explain too much, so he decided after a few sentences. “It’s settled then. After I leave, vice Commander-in-Chief, find someone who looks similar to me to be my substitute.”
“The few of you, help me cover this up. Don’t let anyone see through my substitute’s identity. Then, continue to lead the Army at our current speed and reach the northern border as soon as possible.”
“Also, remember to send someone to keep in touch with Fei daqiang and tell him to pay attention to the enemy’s ambush! Food is the lifeline of the Army, and we can’t make any mistakes. The cavalrymen will be placed in the main unit, and the infantrymen will be placed in the rear to protect the food. ”
Lin Yi didn’t think that Fei daqiang would be in any trouble.
After all, Blue Moon City was only the first city they passed by, so the provisions they would be able to replenish would not be too much. The recruited soldiers were already enough to protect them.
The enemies hiding in the dark probably wouldn’t attack the supply route now, because there was no point. There were still many cities behind them that could be used for supplies.
If Lin Yi knew what Fei daqiang was doing in cangyue city, he wouldn’t think that way.
The amount of food that guy got in Blue Moon City was far beyond Lin Yi’s imagination …
Wu yucao and the others didn’t want Lin Yi to take 800 people to risk it, but since Lin Yi had already made a decision, they had to follow it.
In the time that followed, the group discussed their plans after Lin Yi left.
As for whether or not the spies would ambush them again, Lin Yi didn’t think it was possible.
The first was that they lost two thousand men, two thousand Black Spirit Ferghana horses, a thousand armoring-piercing crossbows, and short knives, but they didn’t cause too many casualties to Lin Yi’s men.
Therefore, the possibility of a second round was very small.
Secondly, this was the hinterlands of Hongshang Commandery. They must have paid a great price to organize such an ambush.
If the people in Hongshang Commandery who were responsible for covering him were to carry out another operation of the same scale or even larger scale, this person might be completely exposed.
It was because of such considerations that Lin Yi decided to bring the guards unit first-maybe they’d discover more!
When night fell, the Army set up camp, and Lin Yi quietly left the group with eight hundred guards. The Black Spirit Ferghana horse was a type of dark spirit beast, and it was no stranger to moving at night.
