Chapter 7801
7801 Chapter 7799-sneak attack at night
Lin Yi, on the other hand, was a bold man. He didn’t care about the threat of the dark spirit beasts at night at all, and led the guards unit around the original route, taking a small path to fire sickle city.
Wu yucao led the Army and continued to advance according to the planned route and speed.
Lin Yi didn’t care if anything happened on the way, but he left a spirit sense mark on them. If they were in danger, they could fly back in time to help.
Outside fire sickle city!
Lin Yi and the guards unit had arrived two days earlier than the Army had expected.
“General, the troops of seitong Commandery did not attack. Are they waiting for our reinforcements to arrive and then surround us? Do you really think that you can win just because you have more people?”
Song shaopeng, the Vice commander of the guards, was now Lin Yi’s confidant. He asked Lin Yi excitedly,”Should we send someone to infiltrate fire sickle city and contact them to see if there’s any possibility of a pincer attack?”
The guards unit didn’t just rush on the road-during the day, Lin Yi would personally teach them battle formations and give them some pointers on training.
Hence, these few days, the guards unit’s overall strength had increased greatly.
Although there were only 800 of them, and they were facing an enemy that was almost 100 times the size of the seitong Commandery, song shaopeng didn’t think that they would lose.
With eight hundred people charging at them, the people who could fight with them at the same time could not be the sixty to seventy thousand enemy soldiers. At most, there would be one to two thousand people.
Only after killing all the enemies would new enemies fill the gap.
As long as they could maintain their mobility and had enough physical strength, song shaopeng felt that even without the cooperation of fire sickle city, they could still kill their way in and out of this ten thousand army formation!
Lin Yi’s face wasn’t looking too good, though. They were still quite a distance away from fire sickle city, with the Seton military camp in the middle, and the naked eye could only see a few tiny figures on the city walls.
But Lin Yi’s spirit sense was strong enough to see the situation in fire sickle city!
Fire sickle city had fallen!
“Vice commander song, can you see the soldiers on the city walls?”
Lin Yi said faintly, not saying the result directly.
Song shaopeng tried his best to look. Martial artists had good vision, but they couldn’t see clearly from a distance.”Marshal, I can only vaguely see soldiers stationed on the city wall, but I don’t know the details.”
“Then let me tell you, the soldiers on the city wall are very relaxed. They don’t feel nervous at all when facing an enemy that is several times stronger than them. Some of them even threw their weapons aside and leaned against the city wall to rest.”
Lin Yi’s expression was indifferent as he pointed at the camp,””Look over there. In a normal siege, the focus of the deployment of troops should be on the side facing the city wall, but in reality, there aren’t many soldiers on that side, which is basically a decoy!”
“On the other hand, although I can’t see many people at the back of the camp, there are faint metallic reflections inside and outside the camp from time to time under the sunlight. There are also moving figures. It’s obvious that there are hidden troops there.”
Song shaopeng looked at Lin Yi in shock. He didn’t need Lin Yi to say the result, and he could already guess what it meant!
However, he couldn’t understand how the commander could see so many things.
Even though he had received some guidance, he could not see it clearly.
As expected, this was why Lin Yi was a commander at such a young age, and he, song shaopeng, was only a vice commander of the guards after being promoted!
“Commander, fire sickle city … Has it been breached?”
Song shaopeng already knew the answer, but he still couldn’t help but ask,”Could it really be because of the traitor?”
Song shaopeng was the one who personally led the interrogation of the selencopper Commandery’s spies. Naturally, he knew how powerful those spies were!
“It’s no longer important whether there’s a traitor or not. We only need to know that this is a huge trap waiting for us with its fangs bared!”
Lin Yi’s lips curled up into a cold smile.
Not everything could be torn apart by the fangs. There was also the possibility of directly breaking the hard stubbles!
“Commander, what should we do?”
Song shaopeng glanced at the main camp of seitong Commandery and fire sickle city in the distance. He could not help but hesitate.
If it was a sneak attack on the enemy camp, song shaopeng was confident that he could come and go as he pleased, even if the difference in strength between the two sides was huge.
However, if it was a trap … That was a completely different matter!
One attacked unprepared, while the other jumped into a pit knowing that there was one. Was he an iron-headed person?
If the number of Guards unit was not 800, but 8000 … It was worth a try!
“Wait!”
“Ambush after dark!” Lin Yi said simply.
Song shaopeng was stunned, but he immediately bowed and cupped his fists,”This general will obey your orders!”
Military orders were like mountains. Even if they knew there was a pit in front of them, they had to open their eyes wide and jump in!
However, song shaopeng felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart. He felt that he might not lose if he followed Lin Yi as the commander!
Thinking about it, he felt that he was a little crazy.
Eight hundred people to ambush a trap set up by sixty to eighty thousand enemies, one against a hundred … Was it really possible?
Lin Yi didn’t turn around to look at the guards, he only sensed for a bit.
The morale of these soldiers was still good, and they were not too dejected when they heard that they were going to launch a surprise attack on a trap set up by an enemy a hundred times their size.
Of course, it was inevitable for some of them to be a little confused and hesitant.
“Don’t worry, everyone. I won’t take you to your deaths! Although the enemy has made their arrangements, they must think that we are still on the way and will not take any precautions! We will definitely win this battle!”
Lin Yi’s tone was firm and powerful, and song shaopeng’s soldiers immediately became more confident.
This commander of his Army was indeed very mysterious. Since he said that they would definitely win this battle, then … There was really a chance of victory, right?
After all, the Commander-in-Chief was the son of the first wife of the Sima clan. If Sima Yunqi successfully ascended the throne and was conferred the title of Crown Prince, this person would be the future successor to the throne!
If such a noble figure dared to lead a charge into the camp, what else could they, the soldiers who had licked blood on their blades, not let go of?
“We will definitely win!”
Everyone’s mind turned, and for a moment, they were excited. Under the leadership of song shaopeng, they raised their weapons and shouted in a low voice,”We will definitely win! We will definitely win!”
Lin Yi turned around and pressed down with his hand, stopping everyone from shouting.
Although they were still far away from the enemy camp and everyone had deliberately suppressed their voices, there was still the possibility of being discovered by the enemy.
“Very good, everyone’s morale is very high! Tonight, let’s trample on the barracks and destroy the seitong Commandery!”
Lin Yi didn’t say much, only encouraging him a little before turning to song shaopeng.”Vice commander song, take your brothers and find a hidden place to rest. Once the sky turns dark, we’ll be ready! I’ll go take a look nearby and be back soon!”
