Chapter 54: Ending the Enemy's Lair
|||->-> Guan Yunlong's words really shocked Sun Junfeng. It was as if he couldn't even speak any longer, just muttering vague words.
Li Shuangjue also looked surprised, he looked at Guan Yunlong with his mouth half open, wanting to ask any questions, but he couldn't move because of his speech.
Compared with the two young generals, Guan Yunlong still looked indifferent. He always put on a serious appearance, and then turned to Sun Junfeng, whose lips were twitching.
"Hmm, what's wrong with you? Are you speechless now?"
It took Sun Junfeng a lot of time to get out of his distraction caused by surprise. He glared at him quickly, "You...... You...... You...... Just now...... I just said ......"
"I've already made it clear. Why do I have to listen to Lian Yunpo's words? Is he the king? or the eldest grandson?" Guan Yunlong slowly lowered his head, and the style of looking in front of him also changed to rolling his eyes and staring.
Sun Junfeng seemed to be completely unable to parry, his body suddenly leaned back, and he almost fell off the horse. Fortunately, as an archer, he still has a very good sense of balance, and after holding the reins tightly, he was able to maintain a stable posture on the horse's back.
"You...... You...... Marshal Lian is the generalissimo! And you are only a deputy, why should you ...... Why don't you listen to him?" Sun Junfeng angrily pointed at Guan Yunlong.
Guan Yunlong, on the other hand, smiled and touched his long white beard, "Ahahaha...... What you said is really good! Lian Yunpo is the generalissimo, and he is the commander of our three armed forces. But...... Others obey him, but I don't obey him. If you want to say that I Guan Yunlong, no matter my age or qualifications, I am much older than him. Why is he a full-time marshal, and I will always be a deputy? Why, why?"
Guan Yunlong's words were very explicit, which made Li Shuangjue twist his neck and cast an extremely surprised look at the deputy marshal who was speaking excitedly.
'This old man...... What's going on now?' Li Shuangjue has already begun to think about what he should do next.
"You...... You ......" Sun Junfeng's face had already begun to twitch, and he seemed to be extremely angry.
"Don't have anything 'you, you, you'. I, Guan Yunlong, will tell you now, everything here is up to me now. Why are you not convinced, little general?"
"You ......," Sun Junfeng took a deep breath. It took him a long time to realize that the atmosphere around him had changed somewhat, because most of the soldiers were not on his side, but continued to be silent.
"Okay! Now let me tell you clearly! I never thought about going to fight the Yokoga barracks. My goal has always been one on the march, which is Kiyose Castle, the capital of Saran!"
Guan Yunlong spoke extremely sonorously and powerfully, and the three words 'Qingse City' also stabbed straight into Sun Junfeng's heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.
It took a many, many times for Sun Junfeng to get out of the panic. He looked around with a somewhat stunned look, "Hey, Vice Marshal Guan! Junior, I'm not talking back to you or anything." However, it was Generalissimo Lian Yunpo who issued the plan, and his order was also to make a detour to attack the Yokoga military camp in Saran. How did you come to you, but you went deep into the enemy's territory and smashed the enemy's capital Kiyose Castle?
Probably because he was too excited to speak, the horse he was riding was also frightened by its momentum, causing him to take several steps in a panic.
But Guan Yunlong was extremely unimpressed, and his face was even tilted to the other side, "This is my plan to change temporarily! Because I never thought that the focus of the attack should be placed on the Yokoga military camp." What if the Saran soldiers in the Yokoga camp are eliminated?
"The Yokoga military camp is currently the only force that is resisting our Sauron, and you actually say that there is no change in the war?"
"It's all rabble, and it doesn't make any real sense to eliminate it or not. We, the Sauron army, don't need to waste any time, we just need to rush into Qingse City in one go and force the king there to make a sneak attack!" Guan Yunlong's tone was very disdainful.
"You said it simply, in this vast deep forest, how are we going to get to Qingse City?" Sun Junfeng stretched out his arms.
"As long as I do what I say, I will definitely be able to rush to Kiyose Castle within five days. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and you saw it on the way. The Saran side has put all its energy into monitoring the border. Little did they know now that there was already an army of Sauron that had come to their rear. As long as we continue to drive down the road, we can accomplish the harvest that we did not expect, which is the most beneficial for the harvest of merit. β
"You're taking it for granted. If this trick could have been used, Marshal Lian would have used it a long time ago. We should listen to the words of the generalissimo and take the Saran soldiers in the Yokoga military camp first!" Sun Junfeng didn't care whether his shouting would attract the attention of the surrounding area, but he just opened his throat without scruples at the moment.
Li Shuangjue actually agrees with Sun Junfeng's opinion, desperate to directly attack the enemy's national capital, this overly radical strategy, coupled with the fact that the enemy's resistance has not been annihilated, is really too dangerous. Maybe if you don't get it right, the army will be surrounded and killed by the enemy.
However, Li Shuangjue did not join the conflict between the two again, because after all, one party was at the level of deputy marshal, and he didn't want to offend rashly.
"Ha! Sun Junfeng! Look at your age, but you are as bold as an old turtle. Are you afraid of Saran's soldiers?"
"I'm not afraid of anything. But...... The plans are all in accordance with the previous orders, and they are also the orders of Generalissimo Lian Yunpo, how can we change them casually?"
"Don't use Lian Yunpo to press me again. He is God in your heart, but in my heart he is nothing. If he was really good, the last sneak attack wouldn't have failed. β
"You ......"
Sun Junfeng's somewhat unbelievable appearance also inspired Guan Yunlong's ridicule, "I've been in the barracks for so many days, I've heard some rumors a long time ago. Now there are rumors in the barracks! Lian Yunpo couldn't even handle a little girl from Salan, and the previously scheduled sneak attack plan was also a fiasco. With such strength, you still want to command me?"
"You...... You ......" Sun Junfeng's mouth kept spitting, and his emotions were extremely excited. But suddenly, he immediately quieted down. I saw him glance around quickly, and then glared at Guan Yunlong is suddenly, "I don't want to talk to you here." But there is one thing you have forgotten, you are also Sauron's old general, but have you ever heard the phrase that military orders are like mountains? As a strategy formulated by the Supreme Commander, Marshal Lian, how can you change it at will?"
I thought that Guan Yunlong would be a little cowardly, but I didn't expect him to be even more arrogant, "Hmph! I have made it very clear, don't use Lian Yunpo to pressure me." Now, I've just changed my plans, what can you do?"
Li Shuangjue took a deep breath in surprise, he found that Guan Yunlong was by no means the good handsome he imagined, at least in explaining the strength to change the plan at will, he did not need to be convincing.
Sun Junfeng seemed to be completely unable to parry, and he gasped blankly. He shouldn't have imagined that Guan Yunlong would be so unreasonable.
"Okay, good, good, good, since you want to ...... If you are unreasonable like this, the army will be in crisis. I...... I...... I'm not going to talk nonsense with you either. I ......" Sun Junfeng no longer paid attention to Guan Yunlong, but looked at the army in the rear.
"Hey...... Hey, you've all seen it! Your lieutenant marshal, he'...... He was so unreasonable. Sun Junfeng's hand didn't stop for a moment, and pointed angrily at Guan Yunlong's location, "He threw you into an extremely dangerous situation for the so-called plan brewing in his heart." Soldiers, look where we are now, but we are in the heart of Saran! In this place, we are not easy to call the heavens and the earth weak, and we do not even have any supplies. It's this terrible situation, how do you tell us to go to war?"
Sun Junfeng roared hoarsely, and he wanted to use the word 'reason' to stir up the emotions of the soldiers, so that they would turn around and return to the original plan.
Unexpectedly, none of the soldiers made a sound, as if they didn't dare to resist Guan Yunlong at all, and just stood in place in a daze.
"Hehehe...... Hahaha...... Hahaha......"
Guan Yunlong's laughter made Sun Junfeng turn his head again, and he completely fell into a helpless mood.
"Hahaha...... Hahaha! Sun Junfeng! I said how can you be so naΓ―ve? Don't you know? The 20,000 troops here are all my cronies! They have always been at my disposal. Do you think your demagoguery will work?"
Sun Junfeng suddenly leaned back, and he began to be speechless again, "This ...... This ......"
"I advise you not to waste your energy, or accept the reality and go with me to capture Seise Castle! At that time, the military merit you will get will be much better than the defeat of the Yokoga military camp. β
Sun Junfeng's breathing began to become more messy, and he still couldn't speak clearly, "This ...... This...... You ......"
But in the next moment, as if he had thought of something, he turned his face to Li Shuangjue, "General Li......! You can also say a few words!"
Li Shuangjue was a little dazed for a while, he didn't know what to do at the moment, so he could only continue to be silent.
Seeing that the last straw of his life had been lost, Sun Junfeng's spirit began to slide off a cliff, "You...... You...... Guan Yunlong: It's not right for you to do this! Your plan will never succeed. You...... You ......"
"That's enough! I don't want to say anything more. If you don't, you get out of here. Among my subordinates, I don't need such a burden as you!" Guan Yunlong waved his hand, and his momentum seemed to be much higher.
Sun Junfeng was completely out of line, and he swallowed his saliva as if he was being angry, "You...... How do you ...... That's not right......! You ......"
But Lian Yunpo's gaze has always remained on the tough side, as if there is no room for discussion at all.
In desperation, Sun Junfeng had to choose to give up. He tugged at the reins of his horse, his eyes still staring at Guan Yunlong, "Hmph! Don't forget what you did today...... I'm going back and tell Marshal Lian everything!"
"Get out of here, why are you talking so much nonsense?"
"You ......" Sun Junfeng's jaw was straight forward, "Okay! Okay! Okay! I'll go......! I'll definitely report you. I will...... I will let the king and the eldest grandson also know about your current evil deeds!
When Sun Junfeng no longer pays attention to Guan Yunlong, it means that he is officially leaving. He shouted the word 'drive' and pulled the horse's head hard. When the horses were facing the west, he drove them to the rear and began to run.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded immediately, and during the running, Sun Junfeng did not forget to turn around and give him cruel words, "Guan Yunlong!
He passed through a troop in the rear, and the sound of horses' hooves was far away. He didn't seem to have left even a trace of footprints, just like there had never been a person named Sun Junfeng in the army.
Guan Yunlong watched Sun Junfeng run away, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of disdain from time to time, "Hmph! What a cowardly fool! If you follow me, I will let you experience real military feats." By then, you may have come out on top of the young generals. It's a pity...... Alas......"
Guan Yunlong was shaking his head, but it didn't take long for him to squint at Li Shuangjue.
Li Shuangjue could feel the sight of others, so after hesitating again and again, he was able to meet it.
"General Li Shuangjue, now that Sun Junfeng is gone, what should you do?"
Li Shuangjue's eyes rolled quickly, "Huh, do I still have a choice?"
"Why don't you have a choice? There are two choices before you! or run away in the same cowardice as that waste archer. Or...... Come with me and make history. β
Li Shuangjue understands very well that the so-called 'going to create history' is nothing more than the capture of Qingse City in this situation. However, it would be fine if the plan succeeded, but if it failed......
If Kiyose Castle is not captured quickly, then this force will also be in danger. What Sun Junfeng said just now is not wrong, they have no supplies, and they have gone so deep into the enemy's territory, if the battle situation is smooth, it is fine, but if it is unfavorable, they will be surrounded and annihilated alive.
So......
Li Shuangjue still maintained a more cautious attitude and did not answer immediately. It's just that he still smiled at Guan Yunlong slightly, and in a serious and respectful tone, he told the deputy marshal about his inner doubts.
And Guan Yunlong also knew what it meant, so he raised his hand and motioned for him to speak.
When Li Shuangjue was really about to speak, the smile on his face disappeared, "Deputy Marshal Guan Yunlong......" Even at this moment, he opened with a polite word, "I heard all your plan just now, I can understand the meaning." It's just ......" he made a look of hesitation, but it was a pretense, "can you guarantee success?"
Guan Yunlong's brows furrowed quickly, "Oh, you ask me if I will succeed?" the corners of both sides of his mouth were hooked, "I don't know how to answer you." After all, there is never such a thing as a war situation, but there is never an absolute. β
Li Shuangjue's mouth began to purse, and he made a low 'um' sound. But at the moment when he was about to move his mouth, Guan Yunlong took the lead to speak again.
"But then again, whether it's you or that Sun Junfeng, why are you worried that we won't succeed......? Aren't the Saranites a waste in front of you?"
Li Shuangjue seemed to have been woken up, and his head suddenly tilted up. There was a bit of a glare in his eyes and a slight nod.
"Li Shuangjue! I believe you should be a smart person! You also know very well that if we capture Qingse City, what military merits will you get as one of the leading generals!" Guan Yunlong's speech was unusually slow, and he spoke very clearly, "Besides, do you think that the task we are about to accomplish is very difficult?" Aha......" he exhaled vigorously, "Saran's military ability has long been gone, and they don't have any decent resistance at all. Therefore, there will hardly be many powerful defenses in Kiyose Castle. This is the situation, do you think we will fail?"
Li Shuangjue's eyes widened one step further, and his gaze wandered around, looking there for a while, and then looking over there for a while. But it didn't take long for him to look at Guan Yunlong's place closely.
"Well, how about it? Li Shuangjue! Are you going to stay or go?"
Li Shuangjue grinned, and the stirred words in his mouth seemed to leak out, "So! From what the deputy marshal meant just now, the strategy of capturing Qingse City will basically succeed?"
"Li Shuangjue, don't ask me if I can succeed in anything. Whether we succeed or not, we still have to struggle!" Guan Yunlong responded calmly.
"So, can you tell me about the chances of success?"
"There's something that needs to be emphasized, and I think I've made it clear. The military capabilities of the Sarans were simply not good, and there was little resistance along the way. In that case, why should we conservatively destroy its ability to resist alive? Why don't we be radical and directly end the enemy's lair!"
"Okay! Since the deputy marshal has already said that, then I will ...... too" At the moment when he put away his smile, he also uttered a few words clearly, "Of course it is to stay! Let's go and attack Seise Castle together!"
Guan Yunlong laughed out loud after hearing this, "Sure enough, he has courage, much stronger than that Sun Junfeng." From now on, we will speed up our march and strive to reach Kiyose Castle within five days!"
Guan Yunlong seemed to be giving an order, and roared angrily at the whole army.
