Chapter Seventy-Five—The Civil War (Strange Soldiers)
For this plan, which has been planned for nearly ten years, Chen Xinyu does not want to give up no matter what. Because she knew that this opportunity was fleeting, and once the feudal kingdom freed up his hands to send another batch of supplies to help the royal Chen family, their hope of victory would be even more slim. In this way, Chen Xinyu really hated Zhou Yu and gritted her teeth, she hated him for going directly into this underground cave on the Weiku Plain without any precise reconnaissance and dispatching patrols. In the end, the entire southern army left the country was defeated, and the 50,000-strong army was almost completely lost. It was also the heaviest loss she had suffered since she ascended the throne, but she now ignored these losses and the voices of the country calling for a truce. She has now firmly believed that no matter what the cost, she must destroy the royal Chen family and completely get rid of this situation of two forces. There is absolutely no room for ambiguity on this point, and whoever tries to persuade her will have no effect.
Under the current circumstances, Chen Xinyu resolutely ordered the 20,000 Imperial Forest Army that he could directly control to march into the Weiku Plain, in an attempt to occupy this strategic key point again. After the army officially left Weicheng, Chen Xinyu, who was personally on the expedition, ordered Lu Ji, the general under his command to lead the Imperial Forest Army, to continue to lead the 20,000 Imperial Forest Army. She herself immediately traveled day and night, and hurried to the Viku Plains with light skills. She wanted to take advantage of some possible opportunities to rescue or contact the 10,000 captives on the spot, and then immediately dispatch troops to defeat the southern army of the royal Chen family while Zhao Ling was not fully prepared. Through such an opportunity, the north and the south can join forces together, and it is possible to defeat the royal Chen family.
Chen Xinyu's legs and feet were extremely fast, almost galloping day and night at the speed of the fastest war horse, and when the Imperial Forest Army was still nearly half of the way, that is, it only took three days and three nights, Chen Xinyu had already appeared alone on the Weiku Plain.
Chen Xinyu had arrived on the Veku Plain in the middle of a starry night, and she was keenly aware that Zhao Ling had moved the military camp to the most marginal location of the Basics Veku Plain. From here, they can either go north to Lichen County, or they can directly go west to attack their territory. This strategic position was well guarded, and if they were not defeated, Chen Xinyu's army would not be able to enter the Weiku Plain, let alone advance eastward to attack the subsequent pass towns. However, Chen Xinyu is now alone here, and she doesn't think about the idea of directly defeating the 40,000 troops led by Zhao Ling. All she was thinking about now was how to approach the prisoner of war camp in Zhao Ling's camp.
Observing the camp of the imperial Chen family's army from the farthest distance, Chen Xinyu could easily see that Zhao Ling had arranged strict patrol guards throughout the camp, and each patrol team was composed of at least dozens of soldiers. In this way, it also told Chen Xinyu in a certain way that it was unrealistic for her to rush into this now. However, Chen Xinyu now has a plan in her heart, she doesn't care if there are people patrolling here around, and she doesn't care too much.
Chen Xinyu directly used her light skills to start a leap, her light skills were cultivated like fire, even Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two siblings, were completely inferior to her in this regard. Even as the monarch of the country for nearly ten years, her light skills have not fallen at all. This is also why Chen Xinyu began to practice her light skills and martial arts after noon every day, so that her physique and ability did not fall behind.
So, naturally, like a whirlwind, Chen Xinyu's body that could not see his trace clearly had quietly appeared outside the camp of the Chen family of the royal family. In order to facilitate her movements, Chen Xinyu did not wear a dragon robe, but changed into a very light carrying outfit, and this night robe also concealed her identity at this time. As the soldiers patrolling the area around the camp were the only one with a torch in his hand. And Chen Xinyu went to the side gate fence of this camp as quickly as possible. Since there were only a few places in this camp where the torch was lit, Chen Xinyu's figure flashed by, and with his extremely superb light skills, he flew directly over the fence and jumped into the camp of the royal Chen family in front of him.
In this camp, Chen Xinyu naturally dodged and broke into the camp tent closest to her, she pulled out two sharp short blades from her waist, she did not use her own ability, but directly used these two short blades against the necks of the two soldiers lying there sleeping in front of her, and shouted in a low voice: "If you don't want to die, tell me where the prisoners in your army are held?"
The two soldiers, who were still sleeping, suddenly felt a chill on their necks, which frightened the two of them from their dreams. Rubbing their eyes, they saw a man with her knees on their stomachs, her face unclear in a night gown, but each hand holding a short blade as sharp as a sharp blade against their necks, and it was obvious that if they raised their heads slightly, they would not be able to save their lives.
"This master, if we have something to say, just say it, where did we offend you, do you have something to say" The soldier on the right was so frightened that he quickly apologized again and again, but his hand secretly touched the weapons placed on both sides. He tried to touch his weapon and crush the man in black in front of him who didn't know where he came from.
Although the vision in this camp is relatively blurry, and there are only a few pillars of fire lit in this camp, it is not difficult for Chen Xinyu to see at night. So, Chen Xinyu immediately turned the short blade in his right hand and stabbed directly at the soldier's right hand with the fastest speed.
Chen Xinyu's attack was not merciless at all, and the soldier's face on the right suddenly showed a look of extreme pain, but he didn't dare to shout, he had now understood Chen Xinyu's methods, and he was afraid that if he didn't pay attention to his life, he would be taken away directly.
At this moment, Chen Xinyu's left arm also began to exert its power, she slightly increased the strength of her arm, against the neck of the soldier in front of her, and a blood mark had been imprinted on it, if Chen Xinyu's arm increased a little bit of strength, I am afraid that now this soldier will be directly in a different place.
The soldier lying on the left did not dare to move, he was afraid that his life might be taken away at any time. So, under a huge pressure to survive, the soldier quickly straightened his waist, lowered his voice and said, "I don't know, is there anything to find us?"
"Quite simply, I want to know if you have taken more than 10,000 captives who have left the country, and where are they being held now?
Chen Xinyu's voice itself has a rough and bold feeling that only men have, and now she deliberately lowered her voice, so that her voice basically couldn't hear any clues at this time. The two soldiers in front of them did not notice any surprise, on the contrary, this very deep voice made the two soldiers who had not fully woken up from their sleep even more threatening.
Chen Xinyu had completely suppressed the emotions of these two soldiers, and the two soldiers were out of breath. After all, Chen Xinyu had fallen into a frightening environment, and the soldier who was sleeping on the left who had wanted to fight back was now very frightened, and his speech had become very fragmented. Even at this time, a feeling of imminent death made him no longer have the idea to pay attention to the true identity of the figure in a black nightwalk that suddenly appeared in front of them.
"I don't dare to neglect you, these captives are all in the back camp, but there is a very elite army stationed there, and there is no place for us to enter," the soldier had now told him everything he knew.
Chen Xinyu smiled silently, and the corners of her mouth outlined a very subtle smile. Now that we know that it is in the back camp, the other problem is very simple. Now, Chen Xinyu's eyes suddenly flashed with a touch of murderous intent that was inadvertently revealed.
Less than a minute later, Chen Xinyu's figure had already appeared in the back camp of this departure camp. The two soldiers in the previous camp had already been killed directly in their camp by her sword, and her almost silent movements allowed her to take advantage of such a small fact.
Due to her own ability to use light skills, and the fact that there were not too many soldiers patrolling the camp of the Chen family of the royal family at this time. In a short period of time, Chen Xinyu had already come to the back camp of this departure camp. Here, the silence around her made her vigilant again, after all, she was now in a more dangerous place and didn't know much about the surrounding situation, if she didn't continue to observe the surrounding situation, I was afraid that there would be some accidents.
Chen Xinyu estimated the surrounding situation slightly, and felt that at this time, it was best for her to hurry up and find these captives first. The surrounding environment is very quiet, there are no soldiers patrolling here, and there is no wind in the camp, telling Chen Xinyu from all sides that this is not a safe place.
Although Chen Xinyu is not very good at knowing Zhao Ling, one of the three generals of the Chen family of the royal family who commands the army, but after all, to be one of these three generals, this Zhao Ling's strength in commanding the army must be somewhat, according to common sense, she should first hide in the corner and observe some surrounding situations before making a judgment. But at this moment, Chen Xinyu has already found that the original dark and heavy sky has begun to gradually shine with the dawn from the east, and it is this glimmer of dawn that makes Chen Xinyu completely cut off this original thought, once the sky dawns, she may not have too many opportunities to enter this back camp. Therefore, Chen Xinyu secretly gritted his teeth, and still entered the back camp in front of him in a flash. Through her superb light skills, she directly entered the back camp of the Chen family of the royal family, and no matter what danger there was, she couldn't care about it.
