Chapter 66 - The Battle of the Xuan Soldiers

"Report to the general, the last general has discovered the enemy's situation, and now I am here to report back!" From the top of the mist-shrouded cliff, you can't see the situation in the mountain stream below from the top of the mountain. The soft sunlight of the morning could not break through the thick clouds, through which only the passage could barely be seen, and there was a winding and even very winding road that stretched all the way to the top of the mountain stream, that is, the top of the cliffs on both sides. If you take a closer look at the situation in front of you, you can normally see that the winding road leading to the top of the mountain is full of hidden sentinels hidden in the hidden realm. Once the person who walked to the top of the mountain was not theirs, I am afraid that he would be in a different place in an instant.

At this moment, a sharp and excited voice came all the way from the bottom of the mountain stream, and the surrounding dark sentinels knew who the owner of the voice was. So they did not hinder the owner of the figure, and watched the owner of the voice walk alone to the top of the mountain. This figure was a middle-aged general in brown armor, and he walked quickly to the top of the mountain. He bowed down and shouted into the clouds that swirled like chaos.

The top of the mountain is very steep because of the terrain, so the clouds and mist on the mountain stream still appear very thick, and a burly figure walks out of the clouds and mist of this mountain stream. "In that case, give an order at once, order the troops in front to be ready immediately, and we will act according to the predetermined plan!"

"Obey the order!" the figure that had hurried to the top of the mountain once again strode away from the top of the mountain. And the red-robed general who came out of the clouds and mist lightly ordered a few guards around him: "Quickly go and pass on my order, order the rear army, you can close the net!"

"Yes!" these guards did not hesitate at all, and walked quickly away from the top of the mountain and walked directly to the bottom of the mountain stream. At this moment, the general in the red robe slowly walked back to the clouds and mist where he was originally standing, his eyes were always looking at the situation in the mountain stream at the bottom of the mountain top with great complexity, perhaps now, he himself was most concerned about the situation on the Xuanling Continent where they were now. Behind the current quiet situation lies a deeper crisis. Once such a thing is not handled well, it is very likely to cause not only a civil war on this Xuanling Continent, but also a peaceful pattern of the originally feudal Qi State on their Demon Spirit Continent will be broken again. But after all, the feudal state is different from their Qi country, the feudal country has no civil strife, and has sufficient military resources to support the development of their army, and the taxes provided by the people are enough to support the nearly 300,000 troops of the current feudal country.

But their Qi country is not the same, the civil strife has not stopped for many years, whether it is the Ming and Lu families in previous years, as well as the Yue people in the north, they have all rebelled, that is, they have seriously disturbed the rest and recuperation of all parts of the Qi country, and rest with the people. Although at this time, Prime Minister Li Dan reformed a series of laws, fully expanded the interests of the people, and used iron-fisted means to eliminate the cancer of the family, which controlled nearly forty percent of the land of the Qi country. This made the internal Qi State barely stable, but even with this thriving scene now, the comprehensive strength of their Qi State was far inferior to that of the Feng State in any aspect. Just like this time, they only sent 50,000 elite troops to this Xuanling Continent, and the military strength in their Qi country obviously reflected a sense of inadequacy.

Originally, their army was 50,000 troops guarding Xuancheng, the royal city, and was basically stationed in the western suburbs of the county closest to Xuancheng. But now that they have come to this Xuanling Continent, Xuancheng will inevitably mobilize the army of the southern part of Qi to defend the royal city. However, in this way, the army in the south of their Qi country will inevitably be insufficient, and it is very likely that there will be a great risk.

Chen Yi still didn't know the news that the capital city of Qi had been directly attacked by the army sent by the feudal state, and he didn't know that the domestic capital of Qi had suffered a big blow at this time, and the main thing he was thinking about now was how to defeat the logistics and transportation team of the feudal country from the ambush in the mountain stream trail now, and he had also made great efforts for this. After nearly half a month, Chen Yi had already led this elite 5,000 cavalry troops to lay a tight defense on this passage. Even, five days ago, he asked Li Fu to continue to send troops to assist them in this ambush battle. Li Fu once again sent 5,000 elite infantry troops from their former army to assist Chen Yi in completing this plan. After all, at this time, they were still new to this Xuanling Continent, so it was extremely important to take the lead in implementing this plan. For this. Li Fu naturally did not hesitate to send another 5,000 troops.

With the assistance of these five thousand elite infantry, Chen Yi had suddenly felt that their original pressure had become much easier. After all, although the original cavalry team was good at long-distance running, the cavalry in the mountainous and steep areas could not exert their original strong strength. For this reason, the 5,000 elite infantry specially dispatched later has become the best person to carry out this plan step by step.

It was precisely because of the assistance of these 5,000 elite infantry that Chen Yi was able to dispatch the 5,000 cavalry under his command and ordered them to be ready to ambush on the edge of the mountain stream that they had budgeted for, and now they only needed to wait for the logistics and transportation troops of the feudal state to come outside the mountain stream in front of them, and their plan could be fully implemented.

Chen Yi stood with his hands in his hands, maybe now is really an opportunity for them, maybe they can really accomplish what they want to accomplish. Once this plan is successful, it will definitely cause a shock in the feudal camp. They would have to send troops to defend or open another route to transport the grain. And once the situation becomes like that, then the initiative is already completely in the hands of their Qi country. In this case, they can also clarify their attitude, and they can also use this to show Empress Chen Xinyu that their Qi country is powerful and firmly supports her. Wouldn't that be a good thing?

Chen Yi can be regarded as having a kind of realization now, and whether he can do this well now depends on this action. If this action can hit the feudal country in some way, it will be a matter of great importance and no harm to them. Since they had just arrived and didn't know much about this Xuanling Continent, Li Fu naturally pinned a lot of hope on him. Thinking of this, Chen Yi couldn't help but secretly clench his fists, since this is the case, he must do everything well, and never leave a trace of regret.

Chen Yi's eyes fell on this mountain stream, his heart was full of anticipation, maybe closing the net at this time was the best result, he was looking forward to what pleasing results these five thousand elite infantry could bring him. He had already made all kinds of arrangements early on, and he believed that the five thousand elite infantry would not disappoint him. However, now that he had thought of this, he couldn't wait here any longer. Chen Yi walked down the cliff directly, and the guards who followed him had already followed his footsteps and walked quickly down the cliff.

At the bottom of the mountain stream, the 5,000 elite infantry sent out afterwards were being deployed in all aspects in accordance with Chen Yi's plan, because although the scale of this mountain stream was slightly narrow, there were still some potholes everywhere, and the 5,000 infantry had already prepared ambushes everywhere early. They are now waiting for the grain convoy of the feudal kingdom to pass by. When the time comes, they immediately start an ambush plan.

And on this side of the mountain stream, far away from this side of the Demon Spirit Continent, Chen Yi personally led five thousand elite cavalry to garrison here, waiting for the final clear change in the situation in front of him. In addition, they can now not only give the final blow to the escaped grain transport army, they can also continue to ambush the reinforcements that have come from the country. In this way, not only can the feudal army be dealt a heavy blow logistically, but also their mental strength and will can be greatly damaged, which is a complete matter of killing two birds with one stone.

Of course, Chen Yi was also a little careful, after all, they were not familiar with this place now, and they felt that the pressure was very huge, so this place was still outside the country after all, and it was also the territory of the Chen family of the royal family. It's very stressful for them. Therefore, Chen Yi did not directly dispatch his army in the middle of the main road, but ambushed on the edge of a long ditch, hiding the war horses in a forest. Now, all they need to do is wait silently, waiting for the opportunity to arise. Once the plan of either side is carried out, they can fully win the final victory of this battle.

Chen Yi is very patient now, he is lying on the very beginning of this long ditch, looking at the front of the mountain stream, he is not in a hurry to solve the problem in front of him and decided that there are some things that he can't say clearly. And just as he was staring intently, a soldier wearing the armor of the Qi army rushed out of the mountain stream in front of him, and this soldier quickly rushed to Chen Yi's face, and immediately shouted: "General, they are coming! General Wei may ask the general, are you going to send an army to ambush you?"

"How many troops do they have?" Chen Yi did not panic, but asked.

The soldier in front of him quickly replied: "The patrol post of our former army reported to the general, and now there are not many troops of the grain transport army escorts in the feudal country, and there are probably only three or four thousand. General Wei said that they did not concentrate their ranks, but rather dispersed formations, in this case, we will definitely not have any problem launching an attack, please instruct the general!" The soldier bowed, obviously not waiting for the current situation to become clear and they wanted to attack.

Although Chen Yi felt that something was not appropriate in his heart, and it was not too late to wait until the situation was completely clear before launching an attack, he also knew that these five thousand troops were eager to make meritorious contributions, and since this was the case, Chen Yi did not continue to stop it, "Okay! In that case, I will allow you to launch an attack and try to save their food and grass as much as possible!"

"Yes!"
