Chapter 7908
7908 Then why are you still asking?
Unfortunately, the guards unit was least afraid of a talented general. If he was just an idiot, he would escape with his men when he felt something was wrong and cause the team to collapse. Maybe some of them could escape.
It was precisely because he had the talent to gather his men and prepare for a counterattack that he lost the chance to escape.
When the guards unit reached his side, he hadn’t finished his command. Hence, he didn’t even have time to resist before all the subordinates he had gathered were killed!
With the death of their general, the soldiers of the Shanlian Empire were without a leader. However, they were not completely in chaos. Their level of elite was indeed not comparable to that of the seitong Commandery.
As soon as the main general here died, the surviving generals on the other side organized a resistance and tried to counterattack.
However, it was useless. The strength of the guards unit was beyond their imagination. With their speed, they were destined to be tragic!
Twenty minutes later, the battle was over. The 14000 elite soldiers of the Shanlian Empire had been annihilated!
Lin Yi, who was paying attention to the battle, smiled and nodded, satisfied with Liu Ziyu.
It was only then that Liu Ziyu took over the slave Army.
The moment Liu Ziyu said that he was representing the Dragon state, the slave Army immediately expressed their support.
Thus, Liu Ziyu selected 3000 young men from these people to act as the logistics team to clean up the battlefield and collect the spoils of war.
The remaining 30000 soldiers were given a portion of the resources from the Shanlian Empire’s camp and were ordered to retreat into the dragon state’s conferred Kingdom.
After that, Liu Ziyu brought the guards unit to meet up with Lin Yi.
“Commander, we did not fail our mission. The enemy has been completely annihilated!”
Liu Ziyu couldn’t help but jump off his horse and run over to Lin Yi, the expression on his face as if he was a child who had just gotten good grades and wanted to be praised by adults.
“It’s beautiful!”Lin Yi smiled and nodded. However, don’t be complacent!”
“I understand! Compared to cousin Zhong da, I’m still far from it!”
Liu Ziyu grinned. Although he sounded humble, he was very happy in his heart.
It was as if getting a compliment from Lin Yi was more worth it than killing the two elite soldiers.
“Do your best. The future is yours!”
Lin Yi patted Liu Ziyu’s shoulder. He didn’t say his thoughts out loud, but he wanted to give him more experience so that he could get used to the role of a superior quickly!
“Report! Marshal, we’ve just received a message from an Eagle. An Army of 100000 soldiers from the Shanlian Empire is approaching the Dragon state. ”
Lin Yi and Liu Ziyu were still talking when a guard ran over.
After a slight pause, the soldier saluted Lin Yi and reported,””This is one of the reinforcements from the Shanlian Empire. They are about one hundred and fifty miles away from us.”
The initial 300,000 strong Army of the Shanlian Empire had already spread out to attack the various cities along the border of the Dragon state conferred kingdoms. Most of them had succeeded, and countless cities had been destroyed.
The 20,000 people that Liu Ziyu had just annihilated were part of this 300000-strong Army.
The 100,000 they were talking about now were the follow-up reinforcements, not the 300000 they had been talking about before.
“One hundred thousand, one hundred and fifty li! The Shanlian Empire is really something!”
Lin Yi pinched his chin and thought about it. The distance wasn’t too far, he could run over and hit it!
On the side, Liu Ziyu secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Eight hundred against a hundred thousand … Just thinking about it made him feel excited!
This battle was completely different from the previous one!
When they faced the 6000 people, they split up. In reality, the number of enemies that the guards unit faced at the same time was not as many as what they described.
And if they were to fight this time, they would most likely face a true elite army that was waiting in formation. Thinking about the number, the shields that were raised could probably form a wall.
No matter how good the guards unit was at fighting, it was impossible for them to break through such a defensive line.
“Cousin Zhong da, you’re not thinking of ambushing them, are you?”
Thinking of this, Liu Ziyu’s mood suddenly became a little complicated.
Most of them were worried, but a small part of them were excited, filled with a kind of eagerness to try.
In his opinion, cousin Zhong da was omnipotent. Perhaps he could really annihilate a hundred thousand troops?
“Ziyu, what do you think?”
Lin Yi didn’t reply, waiting for Liu Ziyu’s answer.
After all, to Lin Yi, whether it was a hundred thousand or a million, one pill fire bomb was enough to blow it up.
Liu Ziyu pondered for a moment, then gathered his courage and said,””Cousin Zhong da, this little brother feels that 100000 enemy troops are too many! This was a difference of over a hundred times! Even if they just stand there and let us kill them, we’ll kill them until our hands go soft, right?”
Even killing a hundred pigs would be extremely tiring, let alone a hundred elite soldiers.
Moreover, these soldiers knew how to form formations, defend, and counterattack. They had weapons, armors, and strength.
Liu Ziyu had confidence in Lin Yi, and he had no doubt about the strength of the guards, but he was still very worried!
After all, the guards unit only had 800 people. Once they were exhausted, it would only take an instant for them to be chopped into meat paste.
“I think we need to come up with a plan if we want to deal with the Shanlian Army! We have to continuously divide and disintegrate them, nibbling them up in small numbers and multiple times. When we have enough confidence, we will launch a general attack!”
“Or, we can mobilize the Army of the conferred kingdoms of the Dragon state. When we have enough troops, we can set up an ambush at the key points and lure the enemy into the ambush. Then, we can wipe them out in one fell swoop!”
On the other side, Lin Yi was listening with a smile on his face, but he didn’t make a sound or comment.
Liu Ziyu turned to Lin Yi, a little worried.”Cousin Zhong da, is what this little brother said feasible?”
“Ziyu, you’re right. This is the correct way of thinking for an excellent general.”
He gave her an affirmation before changing the topic,”So, Ziyu, do you think that we don’t have enough soldiers and need reinforcements from the Dragon nation?”
Liu Ziyu nodded.
He didn’t deny that the guards unit was strong. If they used guerilla tactics and ambushed them, it wasn’t impossible to destroy the 100 thousand troops.
However, as time passed, the Shanlian Empire’s Army would continue to push forward. By then, it would not be 100000 troops but a million or two million.
At that time, it would be enough to cover the entire battlefield, and the guards unit would lose their space to engage in guerrilla warfare!
“How many people are there?” Lin Yi smiled.
“A hundred thousand!”
Liu Ziyu answered subconsciously.
“How many people do we have?”
“Eight hundred!”
Liu Ziyu suddenly felt that this conversation was a little familiar.
As expected, Lin Yi laughed as he mounted the horse.
“Then why are you still asking? Kill him!”
The blood of the 800 personal guards boiled as they raised their weapons and shouted,”Kill him!”
With their invincible commander leading them, they were an invincible army!
It didn’t matter if it was a hundred thousand or three hundred thousand, he would do it!
