"The army structure in the official army has never been an army of less than 10,000 people, could it be the advance army of a certain army in Jinling?" Yang Xiuchen's brows were tightly wrinkled into a Sichuan character, and a serious look appeared on his not particularly handsome face, and he muttered softly.

"No, this is not the advance army of a certain army in Jinling, but the Royal Army of Great Xia, and only this army in Jinling has no more than 10,000 units." Yang Xiuchen's eyes immediately flashed with a flash of wisdom.

"The emperor of Great Xia has decreed that the Royal Army of Great Xia can be expanded to five thousand, when will it be expanded to nearly ten thousand, it seems that the White Lotus Sect's intelligence in this area is still a little lagging behind, if you want to overthrow the Great Xia Dynasty, you must grasp all the dynamics of Jinling as soon as possible, and after this battle, it is necessary to find an opportunity to meet with the sect leader and Wen Xiang and talk about this matter." Yang Xiuchen did not suspect at all that the low-level general who surrendered his troops had doubled the strength of the Great Xia Royal Army in order to alleviate his crimes.

"I heard that the strength of the Great Xia Royal Army is extraordinary, with the same strength surpassing the Jinling Infantry Army, and even more defeating the elite of Northern Hu, could it be that the Great Xia Emperor felt that the soldiers under Shen Yan's command were super powerful, so he arrogantly thought that a single Great Xia Royal Army of less than 10,000 people could defeat the White Lotus Sect of more than 200,000 people? Could it be that the Great Xia Imperial Court thought that the defeat of the former army in Jinling was not enough, and it had not attracted enough attention from them? Or did the Great Xia Imperial Court not think of the White Lotus Sect's purpose of besieging Lingnan at all? A touch of contempt flashed in Yang Xiuchen's eyes, if this was the case, then the Great Xia Imperial Court would be helpless.

"No, with the political talent shown by the Great Xia Emperor more than ten years ago, he would never make such a mediocre decision, the Great Xia Imperial Court did not send a large army, one is the game of all forces in the court, on the other hand, I heard that the Great Xia Emperor has been invincible to Shen Yan and his new appointment, and more importantly, Shen Yan has always been invincible since the formation of the Great Xia Royal Army, is this time no exception?" A bright light suddenly flashed in Yang Xiuchen's eyes, as if he had grasped some key information, but he had not caught anything.

"Could it be that Shen Yan led the Great Xia Royal Army to be the advance of the Great Xia Dynasty to attract the attention of the White Lotus Sect, and the Great Xia Imperial Hall sent a large army to attack the White Lotus Sect? Yang Xiuchen's eyes showed a hint of suspicion.

"Or maybe this time it's only Shen Yan, the Great Xia Royal Army? It is impossible to know the game of the Great Xia Dynasty in a period of time, if there is only Shen Yan's Great Xia Royal Army, then what is his purpose in bypassing Lingnan? When Yang Xiuchen thought of this, he had already determined in his heart that the imperial court only had Shen Yan's Great Xia Royal Army this time, and it was obvious that the Great Xia Emperor and Shen Yan were not crazy or stupid, which could only show that Shen Yan had a unique strategic goal.

"Then what is Shen Yan's strategic goal? What do you want to do most to bypass Lingnan Shen Yan? Yang Xiuchen had already determined in his heart that there was only one army for Shen Yan this time, so he wanted to find out what Shen Yan's strategic goal was.

What is most important to Shen Yan at the moment, or what should Shen Yan do if he wants to win a big victory to boost the morale of the Great Xia Royal Army and the morale of the imperial court?

After bypassing Lingnan, conquer the city and expand the territory? Or is it the so-called army that goes first without moving grain and grass?

Yes, Shen Yan's destination bypassing Lingnan must be the grain and grass of the White Lotus Sect, only if the grain and grass of the White Lotus Sect are successfully destroyed, the morale of the White Lotus Sect will be reduced to the lowest, if Shen Yan captures another city, then the morale of the White Lotus Sect will definitely drop to the freezing point, at that time, Shen Yan will find an opportunity to start a few battles with the White Lotus Sect, it will delay the development progress of the White Lotus Sect, and the imperial court will send one or two more troops to attack the White Lotus Sect from the front, and the end of the White Lotus Sect will really be a general.

After Yang Xiuchen thought of Shen Yan's strategic goal, a trace of sweat secreted from his forehead, and a tremor flashed in his eyes, Shen Yan's move was indeed vicious, once Shen Yan succeeded, the White Lotus Sect would not be able to think about it this winter.

"Shen Yan has been bypassing Lingnan for most of the day, according to Shen Yan's previous battle trajectory, this person is the best at fighting in the middle of the night, so the battle against the grain and grass army has not yet started, at this time, send a message to the sect leader, let the sect leader send reinforcements, maybe he can eat Shen Yan's Daxia royal army." A touch of contemplation flashed in Yang Xiuchen's eyes, and his mind was constantly reflecting on Shen Yan's past battles, and deducing Shen Yan's fighting habits from them.

"Someone, quickly send a letter to the sect leader, and say that there is an emergency military situation." After understanding Shen Yan's deployment, Yang Xiuchen's eyes flashed with a smug look, and then a confident smile appeared on his face, and he said loudly.

"Enemy attack." After Wei Chong'an led the second team of the Great Xia Royal Army to the battle location designated by Shen Yan, the White Lotus Sect's grain and grass army suddenly sounded the alarm, and for a while, the people in the grain and grass army camp tent were crowded, and shouts came and went.

"What's going on?" When the general of the Grain and Grass Army heard the alarm, he opened his eyes and asked listlessly.

"Back to the general, there is a sneak attack from the enemy." The guards outside the tent hurriedly said loudly.

"How is that possible? The entire Huaibei County is the sphere of influence of our White Lotus Sect, and anyone who dares to sneak up on us will attack us. A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the general of the Grain and Grass Army, and he didn't believe it at all.

"General Hui, the left front battalion has been fiercely attacked by the enemy, and the fighting over there is very fierce." The guards also didn't quite believe that in the hinterland of the White Lotus Sect, the enemy had invaded, and they really couldn't understand where the enemy came from.

"Then transfer soldiers from other places to reinforcements, and the enemy must not be allowed to capture the left front battalion." The general of the grain and grass army said without thinking about it.

"Wait, do you know how many enemy attacks the front camp has suffered?"

"It seems like less than a thousand." The guard replied loudly.

"There are less than a thousand people, will it be a lure to the enemy, the enemy's target is not the left front battalion at all, but other places, such as the left battalion or something." After hearing the number of guards answered, the general of the grain and grass army flashed a flash of spirit in his eyes, less than a thousand troops want to attack my grain and grass army, and they don't take my grain and grass army too seriously, you think you are Shen Yan's guy.

The matter of Shen Yan's two victories over the White Lotus Sect was no longer a secret matter, especially knowing that Shen Yan's strength was only a few hundred people, which had a serious and far-reaching impact in the minds of some middle and low-level generals of the White Lotus Sect.

Therefore, many middle and low-level generals of the White Lotus Sect were reluctant to meet Shen Yan in their hearts, fortunately, Shen Yan would have known Jinling a long time ago, and in the entire Huaibei County, there were only some Xiangzhou Mansion and some Xiang troops and the Jinling Front Army in Lingnan, both of which were besieged by the White Lotus Sect, and it was absolutely impossible for them to appear here.

So who is the enemy?
