Chapter 537: The Behavior of a Maniac
"My lord, we have entered the territory of Lingnan in front, the White Lotus Sect must have deployed scouts in this area, do we want to kill them secretly?" After a rapid march in the middle of the night, Shen Yan led the Great Xia Royal Army to the junction of Ningjiang County and Lingnan County, Fang Butong looked at the dark night sky in the distance, walked quickly in front of Shen Yan, a trace of murderous intent appeared in his eyes, and asked seriously.
"The White Lotus Sect must have deployed relevant scouts in this area, to find out the latest movements of the imperial court, and to learn the news of the imperial court's dispatch of reinforcements as soon as possible, if we don't uproot them, our whereabouts will be exposed, and the White Lotus Sect will make corresponding arrangements as soon as possible, which is very unfavorable to us. But if we pull it out, our whereabouts will be revealed tomorrow at the latest. Hearing Fang Butong's inquiry, a hint of hesitation appeared in Shen Yan's eyes, his eyes looked at the dark distance, and said thoughtfully.
"Whether we are uprooted or not, our whereabouts will be exposed, so let's pull them out, so that at least tomorrow will not reveal our whereabouts, so this second half of the night is destined to be a crazy and rapid march."
"Fang Butong, Ding Sanlin, I will give you two half an hour, you two will each lead your subordinates to kill all the scouts in this area, pay attention to kill all the scouts within a radius of fifteen miles, I will lead the army to wait for you at the entrance of the sheep intestine trail in the south of Lingnan."
"The last general commands." Hearing Shen Yan's order, a strong battle intent appeared in the eyes of Fang Butong and Ding Sanlin, and they responded loudly.
After Fang Butong and Ding Sanlin finished speaking, they made a move and each attacked into the dark distance with their subordinates.
"Rest in place for two quarters of an hour." Looking at the departing figures of Fang Butong and Ding Sanlin, an indifferent smile appeared in Shen Yan's eyes, and then he said aloud to Pei Xiangdong and the others.
"Tell me, why don't we just follow their pace, but rest here for two quarters of an hour?" Hearing Shen Yan's arrangement, a trace of doubt flashed in Xia Yuanxu's eyes, and with a hint of incomprehension, he walked up to Shen Yan and asked softly.
"Although following the pace of Fang Butong and Ding Sanlin will not affect their cleaning up of the White Lotus Sect's scouts, however, our army of this size will inevitably make some noises when marching, an excellent scout, he can hear the footsteps of the army more than ten miles or even dozens of miles away when he lies on the ground, in order to avoid bringing possible unnecessary influence to Fang Butong and Ding Sanlin cleaning up the White Lotus Sect scouts, so I think it's better not to take this risk." Shen Yan heard Xia Yuanxu's inquiry, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, a sincere smile flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly.
"Besides, the second half of the night will be our frantic march, with hardly any time to rest, and the time when people are most likely to get sleepy is after the hour, so in order to have a better physical strength, these two quarters of an hour of rest are precious."
"Understood." After listening to Shen Yan's explanation, Xia Yuanxu's eyes showed a look of enlightenment, I really didn't expect that any detail could reflect such a big truth, it seems that it is really right for my father to let him learn from Shen Yan's side, even if Xia Yuanxu accepted Shen Yan's identity before, he always felt that Shen Yan had a little more knowledge than himself at most, but now that he heard Shen Yan's explanation, Xia Yuanxu understood how big the gap between himself and Shen Yan was.
After listening to Shen Yan's explanation, Xia Yuanxu didn't say a word, walked to the side, and hurriedly followed the example of other soldiers of the Great Xia Royal Army, closed his eyes and waited for the crazy rapid march in the second half of the night, striving not to let himself fall behind, not to let himself not keep up with Shen Yan's pace.
"Eighteen princes, it's time to go." Two quarters of an hour is not a long time, but it is not a short time, when Xia Yuanxu felt that he was confused, he felt that someone gently shook his arm, and quickly opened his eyes, and saw a faint smile on the corner of Gao Yong's mouth, looked at himself, and said softly.
"Pass the order, everyone maintain the corresponding formation, march as fast as possible, no one is allowed to fall behind in the middle, and anyone who falls behind will be removed from the quota of the Great Xia Royal Army and transferred to the servant army to serve." Shen Yan shouted in a low voice towards Pei Xiangdong and the other five people.
"The last general commands." Hearing Shen Yan's words, a strong fighting spirit appeared in the eyes of Pei Xiangdong and the others, and they responded in unison.
"What did you say?" A strong shock flashed in Yang Manlou's eyes, and he looked at Yang Xuanyi, who also had a puzzled look on his face, and said in a low voice.
"Uncle Nine, the news is completely confirmed, Shen Yan led the Great Xia Royal Army to Huaibei County to attack the White Lotus Sect when he was in Youshi, according to the footsteps of the Great Xia Royal Army, it is estimated that at this time it has reached the junction of Ningjiang County and Lingnan County." After Yang Xuanyi found out about the news, his eyes widened, and he didn't believe that Shen Yan would lead the Great Xia Royal Army to attack the White Lotus Sect alone, just kidding, less than 4,000 troops attacked the White Lotus Sect with more than 200,000 troops, even if more than 200,000 pigs were slaughtered by the soldiers of the Great Xia Royal Army, they would be slaughtered until their hands and feet were weak, not to mention the White Lotus Sect with considerable combat effectiveness.
Yang Xuanyi felt that Shen Yan was completely crazy, you must know that the Jinling Front Army, which ranked second in terms of combat effectiveness of the Jinling Fifth Army, was defeated in the hands of more than 200,000 people, could it be that he Shen Yan thought that it was more powerful than Luo Yuhui, and a soldier of the Great Xia Royal Army was worth ten Jinling Front Army.
"Ninth Uncle, I think Shen Yan is completely crazy, he thinks that he is arrogant and arrogant after winning the White Lotus Sect twice before, plus he has won the Jinling Infantry Army and the Northern Jackal Cavalry, he thinks that the Great Xia Royal Army is invincible in the world, otherwise, if he is a little more normal and understands a little military knowledge, he will not only lead the Great Xia Royal Army of less than four thousand to Huaibei County to conquer the White Lotus Sect."
"Xuan Yi, as you said, this is completely a madman's behavior, if it were you, you would definitely not do it, right?" Yang Manlou's eyes still had a hint of shock in his eyes, why did Shen Yan make this choice, was it because the emperor's will was irresistible, or there were other motives in it, and this was something he didn't know.
Yang Manlou also thought of doubting whether Shen Yan's decision was correct, but when he thought of the business empire plan that Shen Yan told him at the beginning, Yang Manlou thought that Shen Yan could not be a proud and arrogant madman, a radical madman would indeed create some miracles, but he would definitely not create miracles like Shen Yan repeatedly, there must be factors that he didn't know about, of course, Yang Manlou also recognized Yang Xuanyi's words, Shen Yan's approach was indeed the behavior of a madman.
