Lin Yi was also a very brave man and did not care about the threat of dark spiritual beasts that were active at night. He led the guard battalion to bypass the original marching route and took a small road to Huoyang City in Northern Xinjiang.
Wu Yucao led the army and continued to advance according to the planned route and speed.
Lin Yi couldn't care if there were any mishaps on the way for the time being, but Lin Yi had left spiritual marks on them all. If there was any danger, it would be too late to fly back with the soul body to support them.
Outside Fire Scythe City!
Lin Yi and his guard battalion traveled day and night and came through a small road, arriving two days earlier than the expected arrival time of the army.
"Commander, are the troops of Selenium and Copper County besieging and refusing to attack? Are they waiting for our reinforcements to arrive, and then surrounding them for reinforcements? I really thought that with more people, we would be sure of victory!"
Song Shaopeng, the deputy commander of the Guards Battalion, seemed to be Lin Yi's confidant at this time. He was asking for instructions from Lin Yi's side with excitement: "Should we send someone to sneak into Huo Lian City and contact them to see if there are any internal or external problems?"
Possibility of a pincer attack?”
The guards camp is not just rushing along the way. During the day, when they are repairing, Lin Yi will personally teach them the way of fighting formations and give them some tips on training.
So these days, the overall combat strength of the Guards Battalion has increased significantly.
Although there were only 800 people, and they faced nearly a hundred times the enemy force of Se Tong County, Song Shaopeng did not think that his side would lose.
Eight hundred people rushed into battle, and the people who could fight them at the same time could not be the 60,000 to 70,000 enemy troops, and could only be one or two thousand people at most.
Only after killing all the opponents will new enemies come in.
As long as they can maintain mobility and have enough physical strength, Song Shaopeng feels that without the cooperation of Huo Lian City, they can kill seven in and seven out of this tens of thousands of troops!
Lin Yi's face didn't look very good at this time. Although it was still far away from Huoyan City, and there was the camp of the Selenium Copper County Army in the middle, the naked eye could only see small dot-like figures on the wall of Huoyan City.
But Lin Yi's spiritual consciousness is so powerful that it can be extended enough to detect the situation in Huoyan City!
Huochang City has fallen!
"Vice Commander Song, can you clearly see the soldiers on the wall of Huo Lian City?"
Lin Yi spoke calmly and did not directly tell the result.
Song Shaopeng tried his best to take a look twice. Warriors have good eyesight, but they still can't see clearly at a distance: "Coming back to the commander-in-chief, I can only vaguely see soldiers stationed on the city wall. I don't know the details.
"
"I'm here to tell you that the soldiers on the city wall are very relaxed. They don't feel nervous at all when facing multiple enemy forces sieging the city. Some even threw away their weapons and rested against the city wall."
Lin Yi looked indifferent and pointed to the camp of Selenite Commandery: "Look over there, in a normal siege, the focus of troop deployment should be on the side facing the city wall, but in fact the flags on that side are fluttering, but there is not much
There are many soldiers, so there is no doubt that the soldiers are suspicious!"
"On the contrary, it is at the very back of the camp. Although not many people can be seen, under the sunlight, there are faint metal reflections inside and outside the camp from time to time, and there are shadows of people moving around. It is obvious that there is an ambush hidden there."
Song Shaopeng looked at Lin Yi in shock. He could infer what it meant without Lin Yi telling the result!
But he couldn't figure it out how the commander could see so many things?
Even if he got guidance, he couldn't see clearly.
Sure enough, this is why Lin Yi is the commander-in-chief at a young age, while Song Shaopeng, after his exceptional promotion, is only the deputy commander of the Guards Battalion?!
"Commander, has Fire Scythe City... been breached?"
Song Shaopeng had the answer in his mind, but he couldn't help but ask: "Is it really because of a traitor?"
Song Shaopeng personally presided over the interrogation of the ambush formed by the selenium and copper commanderies. Naturally, he also knew how powerful the craftsmen were!
"It doesn't matter whether there is a traitor or not. Now we just need to know that this is a huge trap, waiting for us with its fangs spread!"
Lin Yi's lips curled into a sneer.
The fangs are not capable of tearing anything, and they may break if they bite hard stubble!
"Commander, what should we do?"
Song Shaopeng glanced at the camp of Selenite Commandery and Huo Lian City further away, and felt a little hesitant in his heart.
If he were to sneak attack the enemy camp, even if there was a huge difference in the strength of the two sides, Song Shaopeng was confident that he could come and go freely.
But if it's a trap...that's a completely different matter!
One is to attack someone who is unprepared, and the other is to jump into a pit even though you know it is there.
If the number of people in the guard camp is not 800, but 8,000... we can give it a try!
"wait!"
Lin Yiyi simply said: "After dark, raid!"
Song Shaopeng was stunned, but still immediately bowed and clasped his fists: "General, I will obey your order!"
Military orders are like mountains. Even if you know there is a pit ahead, you must open your eyes and jump in!
However, Song Shaopeng was inexplicably excited, feeling that following Lin Yi, the coach, might not lead to defeat!
Thinking about it, he felt like he was a little crazy?
Eight hundred people went to raid the trap set by the enemy's 67,000 to 78,000 people, one against a hundred... Is it really possible?
Lin Yi did not look back at the soldiers in the Guards Battalion, but just felt it slightly.
The morale of these soldiers was pretty good, and they were not too low when they heard that they were going to raid hundreds of traps set by the enemy.
Of course, it is inevitable that some of them will be a little confused and hesitant.
"Don't worry, everyone, I will not lead you to die! Although the enemy has arrangements, they must think that our army is still on the way and will not take more precautions! This battle will be won!"
Lin Yi's tone was firm and forceful, and the confidence of the soldiers led by Song Shaopeng suddenly surged.
This coach of ours is indeed amazing. Since he said he must win this battle, then... is it really possible to win, right?
After all, the coach is the legitimate son of the Sima family. If Sima Yunqi succeeds in ascending to the throne and is named crown prince, this person will be the future heir to the throne!
Such a noble person dares to take the lead in attacking the camp. What else can they not give up, soldiers who lick blood from their swords?
"Must win!"
The thoughts in everyone's mind turned around, and they were a little excited for a while. Under the leadership of Song Shaopeng, they raised their weapons and shouted in a low voice: "We must win! We must win!"
Lin Yi turned around and stretched his hand downwards to stop everyone from shouting.
Although we were still far away from the enemy's camp and everyone deliberately suppressed their voices, there was still a possibility of being discovered by the enemy.
"Very good, everyone's morale is very high! Let's let our horses ride on the company tonight and kill the Selenium and Copper County to the ground!"
Lin Yi didn't say much, gave a few words of encouragement, and then turned to look at Song Shaopeng: "Vice Commander Song, take your brothers to find a hidden place to repair, and be ready as soon as it gets dark! I'll go first.
