Chapter 402: Royal Army Scouts
"Cutting off the supply of the royal army, this is indeed a very good strategy, but how to cut it off? The 300,000 army of the royal family, the supply of grain and grass must be extremely well guarded, even if the elite troops can't get close, not to mention that cutting off the supply is even more impossible!" Wu Nanxing nodded and then said with a wry smile.
"Just because the elite troops can't do it doesn't mean that I can't, I may not be able to do anything else, but I'm quite good at sabotage! Once the supply of the royal army is cut off, they won't last long, and they will naturally retreat at that time, so that you can have plenty of time to prepare for the next battle. Wu Tian said with a smile on his face.
"Brother Wu means ......" Wu Nanxing looked at Wu Tian in surprise.
"What I mean is that I'm going to destroy the supplies of the royal army, and then cut off their supplies and force them to retreat!"
"This ...... There are as many as 300,000 royal troops, and cutting off their supplies will be in danger of losing their lives, and I don't want Brother Wu to take risks!" Wu Nanxing said solemnly.
"I'm not fighting to the death with them, I can't kill 300,000 people even if my hand is broken, but they don't want to stop me!" Wu Tian said confidently.
"But ......"
"Since I have already promised you, I naturally need to do something, without further ado, I will leave now!" Wu Tian patted Wu Nanxing's shoulder and said.
"Brother Wu, thank you so much, I thank you for all the soldiers and people of the Great Wu Kingdom, but I still let a few elite subordinates follow you, so that I can assist Wu Gongzi. ”
"No need, the fewer people like this, the better, I'll do it alone!"
"Okay, then I'll let my subordinates give you the information of the royal army and the surrounding terrain now, I hope it will be helpful to Brother Wu!"
"Good!"
Subsequently, Wu Nanxing ordered someone to sort out all kinds of information and give it to Wu Tian.
Wu Tian's departure did not let others know, only Lao Li and Wu Nanxing knew, when leaving, Wu Tian told Lao Li and a few people to be careful, and then left Sun City with Xiao Jin, it was more convenient to have Xiao Jin in action.
According to Wu Nanxing's information, Wu Tian has been running wildly towards the east of Sun City, his speed is quite fast, Xiao Jin is a divine beast, and his speed is not slower than Wu Tian, one person and one beast are running wildly in the night.
"According to the information above, the royal army must pass through this forest to reach Sun City, which is only fifty miles away from Sun City, and judging by the speed of the march, I should have approached the royal army. After running wildly for most of the night, in the early hours of the morning, Wu Tian stopped after arriving at a wood, and hid in an inconspicuous location to check the information given by Wu Nanxing.
At this time, Wu Tian heard some movement from the other side of the woods, and his spirits immediately perked up.
"Xiaojin, there's movement over there, let's go over and take a look!"
Suddenly, Wu Tian and Xiao Jin jumped on the big tree, and then jumped between the trees with a very slight movement, and when they got closer and closer to the edge of the movement, Wu Tian finally saw some situation.
At this time, several black-clad spies shuttled through the trees, shuttling for a distance and then stopping as if to reconnoiter the terrain.
"If you guess correctly, these people are the first spies of the royal army, it seems that the royal army's army is really nearby, then probe from their mouths first!" Looking at the six black-clothed spies below, the corners of Wu Tian's mouth curled up in a strange arc, "Xiao Jin, three of you, three of me, don't get killed!"
As soon as the words fell, Wu Tian and Xiao Jin instantly jumped down from the tree.
"Who!!" the six spies sensed the movement and immediately looked up.
It's a pity that before they could take countermeasures, two black shadows flashed and six people fell directly to the ground, five people fainted directly, and only one person was pinched by Wu Tian's throat.
"Are you the vanguard spies of the Great Wu Royal Army?" Wu Tian asked, pinching this person's throat.
"Hmm......" This spy was pinched by Wu Tian's throat, and he wanted to resist, but unfortunately his whole body's cultivation was imprisoned by Wu Tian, so he could only stare at Wu Tian deadly.
Of course, it is impossible for you to die, because I know that you are a little trick of these people, and you will commit suicide once you are caught, but unfortunately I will not let you commit suicide! If you don't answer obediently, I will let you know what life is better than death!!" Wu Tian smiled at the spy and slapped him on the chin.
A bloody fang flew out of his mouth, and the spy screamed in pain.
"Are you a spy of the royal army?" Wu Tian asked with a cold look at this person.
"Hmm!" was knocked out of the fangs, of course, this spy Wu Tian was not easy to deal with, and nodded desperately.
Wu Tian slightly loosened the spout's throat so that he could speak, and continued to ask, "How far is the royal army from here?"
"It's thirty miles from here!" said the spy through gritted teeth.
"Thirty miles?" Wu Tian frowned suddenly, and then squinted his eyes, "The speed of your royal army's march is really slow, it only travels less than twenty miles in five or six hours, it's amazing!"
As soon as the words fell, Wu Tian's hand that pinched the spy's throat became stronger, and then sneered: "Tell the truth, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"
"Okay, I'll tell you, I'll say! Wang Jun is only ten miles away from here, we are responsible for exploring the way, I am old and young, and I am forced to do things for the royal family, so you can let me go!" The spy begged Wu Tian for mercy with some horror.
"You can, but you have to be honest with my questions, or you know. "Wu Tian is not a murderous maniac, and Wu Tian naturally doesn't care too much about these little minions.
Saying that, Wu Tian let go of the spy's throat, and then he took a few heavy breaths and said, "What do you want to know?"
"Everything, the arrangement of the royal army, how many people there were, their plans, etc. ”
"The royal army attacked Sun City because I heard that the general of the righteous army was critically ill, and the righteous army has always relied on their generals, the general was critically ill a few days ago, and the Wang army knew that this was the best time, so he decided to uproot the righteous army, so he launched this attack and gathered 300,000 Wang troops to attack Sun City, as for the specific siege plan, I don't know, we are only responsible for exploring the way to collect intelligence and investigate the deployment of the righteous army. The spies directly explained what they knew to Wu Tian.
Wu Tian didn't expect this guy to recruit everything directly, thinking that he was lying, so he said, "You deliberately revealed false information to me!"
"What I said is true, in fact, we don't want war at all, now the civil war between the Wang army and the righteous army has led to the disgrace of the whole country of Dawu, the royal army is rampant and oppressive and oppressive of the people, many royal troops have grievances in their hearts, but our family is within the management of the Wang army, and we have no choice but to help the royal family fight, but unfortunately the righteous army is too much to send the Wang army, and it is not the opponent of the Wang army at all!" The spy shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Hearing the words of this spy, Wu Tian touched his chin meaningfully, and suddenly a playful smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
