Chapter 1241: Exploring Peach Blossom City
When Xiang Qiu said these words, Lin Tian had completely understood, this female general wanted to rescue the captives who were locked up in Peach Blossom City.
But although Peach Blossom City is a dilapidated and dilapidated city, this is an important base for the enemy, and it is impossible to be without heavy guards.
"How many enemy troops are there in Peach Blossom City?" Lin Tian glanced at Xiang Qiu and asked.
"There should be 20,000 horses." Xiang Qiu nodded and said.
"How many prisoners have we taken?"
"It's not very clear, but there are at least thirty or forty thousand people."
Lin Tian nodded slightly and said, "General Xiangqiu, although the walls of this Peach Blossom City are in tatters, after all, there are 40,000 defenders, do you think our 25,000 people can break through their defenses?" ”
Xiang Qiu's face sank slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Can't ...... I'm sorry General Lin, I was impulsive. ”
Seeing that the sisters of his country were captured, Xiang Qiu naturally wanted to rescue them, but Lin Tian was right, although these two army had five thousand more troops than the defenders of Peach Blossom City, they did not occupy an absolute advantage, and if they insisted on rescuing the captured female soldiers, they might pay a lot of sacrifices.
In this way, the gains outweigh the losses.
After all, these two armies went deep behind enemy lines to disrupt the enemy and cut off the enemy's food and grass, and as for these prisoners, they were somewhat powerless.
Looking at Xiang Qiu, whose face was a little tangled, Lin Tian smiled and asked, "General Xiang Qiu, do you really want to rescue these people?" ”
"Nature." Xiang Qiu nodded affirmatively and said, "But analyzing the strength of the enemy and me, General Lin is right, don't act rashly." ”
But she was well aware. Saving people and fighting are two different things, and she is now fighting for Xiangxiang Country. And not to go behind enemy lines in order to rescue the 40,000 captives.
This point, Xiang Qiu is still very clear.
"Peach Blossom City?" Lin Tian let out a long sigh. Looking up at the road in the distance, he thought for a while, a confident smile was drawn on the corner of his mouth, and he ordered: "Order the army to march towards Peach Blossom City and rescue the 40,000 female soldiers who were captured." ”
Hey? Not only Xiang Qiu, but everyone else was taken aback, they all felt that Lin Tian was going to give up the rescue plan, but they didn't expect him to make such a jaw-dropping decision in the end.
"What's so strange, General Ben said to save it. It's to save. Lin Tian waved his hand violently and shouted, "Let's go." ”
As soon as the order came out, more than 20,000 people quickly moved towards Peach Blossom City, although they didn't understand why Lin Tian made such a resolute move, but fighting with Lin Tian's side, they all had a sense of trust, believing that Lin Tian could lead them to victory.
It wasn't until dusk that the army arrived outside Peach Blossom City, of course. The army was hidden in a very secret area, and it was not discovered by the defenders of Peach Blossom City.
"Xianggong, what should I do next?" Dong Jiyao jumped off the horse, looked at Lin Tian and asked.
This order belongs to Lin Tianxia. The others didn't know how to rescue the captives at all, so naturally they could only ask Lin Tian what strategy he had to deal with the enemy.
Lin Tian glanced at the others and said, "Ji Yao and I will go with me to investigate the enemy's situation." Others stayed where they were to rest. ”
"Yes." Dong Jiyao nodded happily, because this time she and Lin Tian went out alone. It can be seen that Lin Tian attaches great importance to her.
Actually. Lin Tian didn't pay much attention to Dong Jiyao, but in the entire military camp, only he and Dong Jiyao had the highest cultivation, and the dangerous task of infiltrating the enemy camp was naturally done by powerful people.
Moreover, this infiltration into the enemy camp can only be two people, and it is easy to be exposed when there are too many people.
"General, let's send a few people to protect you." Xiang Qiu said.
"No need." Lin Tian smiled: "You just have to rest, just have me and Ji Yao go to investigate." ”
As soon as Lin Tian's words fell, he took Dong Jiyao's little hand and walked towards Peach Blossom City.
Everyone was speechless for a while, because they saw a very romantic scene, a round of red sunset gradually falling towards the west mountain, and the figures of Lin Tian and Dong Jiyao were intertwined, giving people a beautiful feeling.
How do uninformed people know that they are spying on the enemy?
Because the city wall was broken by more than half, Lin Tian and the others sneaked into Peach Blossom City, and then saw that the streets and alleys of this city were full of soldiers, because it was dinner time at this time, and the enemy army was cooking, in addition to their own meals, they also had to make a portion for the prisoners.
Taking advantage of the fact that the two soldiers were not paying attention, Lin Tian and Dong Jiyao solved one by one, and then changed into the clothes of the enemy, and the two swaggered back and forth among the enemies.
"Hey, you two." Suddenly, an officer who looked like a lieutenant called out to Lin Tian and them.
"Me?" Lin Tian pointed at himself and said with a wink.
"Yes." The captain frowned and shouted impatiently: "It's you, come over to me quickly and help me get these meals to the prison." ”
Lin Tian looked at a large wooden barrel half a person tall beside the captain, which contained white rice, and a small wooden barrel containing some cooked vegetables.
Lin Tian and Dong Jiyao glanced at each other and walked over.
This small wooden barrel containing green vegetables can be lifted by Dong Jiyao alone, and this big wooden barrel needs two people to lift.
"Here, take a hand."
The captain was about to cooperate with Lin Tian to lift the big wooden bucket containing rice, but he saw Lin Tian with both arms, hugged it gently, and directly hugged the big wooden bucket.
"I'll go, brother, it's a lot of strength." The captain looked at Lin Tian's fierce appearance in surprise and praised him sincerely.
"Let's go, this thing is pretty heavy." Lin Tian shouted bitterly, in fact, this thing was very easy for him, but he still wanted to get out of the sight of the soldiers around him quickly, after all, it was still very eye-catching for a strong man to appear in the barracks.
It wouldn't be good if they were found out by the enemy.
"Okay, follow me." The captain could also see that Lin Tian was having some difficulty holding such a heavy wooden barrel, so he stopped being verbose and led the two of them to the direction of the prison.
Soon, the two of them came to the prison with the captain, Lin Tian swept it with his divine sense, this prison is very large, all 40,000 prisoners are held here, but the guards of this prison are very few, there are only about a hundred people, after all, the captives are all locked in the cell, there is no need to send many people to guard.
"It's eaten, it's eaten." The lieutenant banged on the cell door with the spoon in his hand, and then the dark cell sounded with a small and broken sound, and then a woman's face appeared in front of Lin Tian's eyes, although his face was full of exhaustion, but his eyes did not have a trace of sluggishness, but flashed with firm sharpness.
