After scanning with his spiritual consciousness, the numbers he calculated were faster and more accurate than the counting of soldiers.
"The bodies were buried on the spot and then returned to camp with the loot."
Lin Yi gave an order and led the assembled guard battalion through the woods and back to the repairing place.
Jin Yuanbao followed Lin Yi's order, quickly buried the body, and returned home with a full harvest.
When the army set off again, the morale of all the soldiers was obviously much higher, and their recognition and respect for Lin Yi, the airborne commander, also increased invisibly.
In the marching queue, Lin Yi, Wu Yucao, Zhang Yiming, and Jin Yuanbao walked side by side. They were surrounded by soldiers from the Guards Battalion, but they kept a distance from the four of them.
"Deputy Commander, this ambush attack is mainly based on people from Selenium Copper County. Heimei County supplies mountain-breaking crossbows, and some people from Hongshang County provide cover. The purpose is to deal with us!"
Lin Yi looked calm, as if he was talking about unrelated people and things, without any consciousness of being targeted: "That is to say, the forest before was too small and could only ambush two thousand people. Otherwise, there should be some people this time.
More ambushes appear."
Jin Yuanbao smashed his mouth, and a look of regret appeared on Xiaopang's face: "That's such a pity. I should have asked people to plant more trees here, so as to give them more opportunities to send people to ambush. In this way,
, there should be more Black Spirit Horses and Mountain-breaking Armor Crossbows they sent, right?"
Lin Yi couldn't help but smile, Jin Yuanbao seemed to be right about what he said!
Zhang Yiming burst out laughing: "Then my Tingfeng Hall, do you want to investigate these people? Or do you deliberately allow them to continue their activities?"
"Don't even joke!"
Wu Yucao didn't think this was a funny thing: "This time they targeted our main force, and they failed only because the commander was there. If they were targeting the forward battalion or the scout battalion, do you think they would still do it?
Is this the current result?”
Jin Yuanbao and Zhang Yiming looked at each other and fell into silence.
As Wu Yucao said, two thousand ambush troops armed with a thousand mountain-breaking armored crossbows would have caused thousands of casualties if it weren't for Lin Yi's presence.
And if the appetite of this ambush force is smaller, and it is aimed at Li Yingjian's forward battalion... I am afraid that the forward battalion has been completely wiped out!
As for the scout camp, the number of people was too small, so the ambush troops would never move the scouts, which would lead to a sudden attack.
"What the deputy commander said makes sense, Commander Zhang. Although the Tingfeng Battalion has just been established, it must enter its role as soon as possible. The scout battalion is not suitable for enemies hiding in the dark. You Tingfeng Battalion has a heavy burden!"
Lin Yi's eyes fell on Zhang Yiming.
To be honest, this request is actually a bit too much for the newly established Tingfengying and Zhang Yiming.
After all, the function of Tingfeng Camp is somewhat similar to the espionage system of ancient China, such as the Jinyi Guard. It is almost impossible to recruit some people from the royal capital garrison to put them to use.
Zhang Yiming smiled bitterly to himself, but did not refuse. He sat on the horse and clasped his fists at Lin Yi, bowing his head: "Yes, Commander, Zhang Yiming will definitely live up to his mission!"
"This matter is indeed a bit difficult for you, but besides you, no one can do it better!"
Lin Yi casually encouraged him and then said: "This ambush reminded me that we have to march quickly, and the journey may not be smooth sailing. When we reach northern Xinjiang, we may have to face three mountains that have been captured by Li Ying Wai He.
city."
"So I decided that after camping at night, I would quietly take the guard battalion ahead and rush to Northern Xinjiang!"
"Commander! Isn't it too dangerous to only lead a battalion of 800 guards?"
Wu Yucao immediately expressed his opposition: "In the Northern Xinjiang War, the Selenium Copper County claims to have an army of 200,000 people, and the 800 guard battalions passed by, which means nothing!"
She almost said, "Commander, you are bringing 800 people here. It's not even a meal delivery, it can only be a pre-dinner snack!"
In the war between large groups, personal bravery does not actually play a big role. Lin Yi is powerful, but even if Lin Yi is made of iron, how many pounds of nails can he hit?
It's not that Wu Yucao doesn't believe in Lin Yi's strength. The problem is that an army of 200,000 people, not to mention all warriors, even if there are 200,000 cattle and sheep, how many can you kill by yourself?
"No! Deputy Commander, you are wrong. Eight hundred people is indeed not that many, but the Guards Battalion is the elite of the army and is the sharpest blade. The small number of people makes it flexible and more suitable for this operation!"
Lin Yi didn't want to explain more, so after saying a few words, he decided directly: "This matter is settled. After I leave, Deputy Commander, you find someone with a similar body shape and appearance to be my substitute.
"
"You guys help cover it up, don't let anyone see through the identity of the double, and then continue to advance at the current speed with the army, and get to Northern Xinjiang as soon as possible."
"Also, remember to send someone to keep in touch with Fei Daqiang and let him pay attention to enemy ambush! Food and grass are the lifeline of the army. You must not make mistakes. The troops recruited along the way, the cavalry will be incorporated into the main unit, and the infantry will be placed in the rear guard.
forage."
Lin Yi didn't think Fei Daqiang would be in any trouble now.
After all, Cang Yue City is just the first city they pass through, so the replenishment of food and grass will not be too much, and the conscripted troops to guard them are enough.
Those enemies hiding in the dark should not attack the food road now, because it is meaningless, and there are many cities behind that can supply supplies.
If Lin Yi knew what Fei Daqiang did in Cangyue City, he probably wouldn't think so.
The food and grass obtained by that guy in Cang Yue City has far exceeded Lin Yi's imagination...
Although Wu Yucao and others did not want Lin Yi to take the risk with 800 people, since Lin Yi had already made a decision, they had no choice but to obey.
In the following time, several people discussed their respective action plans after Lin Yi left.
As for whether Selenium and Tongjun's masters would be ambushed again, Lin Yi thought it was unlikely.
One is that this time the opponent lost two thousand men, and they also added two thousand black spirit horses, one thousand mountain-breaking armor crossbows, and hand crossbows and daggers, but they did not cause many casualties to Lin Yi's men.
Therefore, the possibility of doing it again is very small.
Secondly, this is still the hinterland of Hongshang County after all. It must have cost too much to organize such an ambush.
If the person responsible for protecting Hongshang Commandery were to conduct another operation of the same or even larger scale, this person might be completely exposed.
It is precisely based on this consideration that Lin Yi decided to take the guard battalion to take the first step. Maybe there will be more discoveries!
At nightfall, the army set up camp, and Lin Yi quietly left the group with his eight hundred guards. The Black Spirit Khanma was a type of dark beast, and was no stranger to night operations.
