Chapter 331: Demuxi
Yu Shaoxi has already left, and the courtiers have almost dispersed. Only two figures stood in place, watching the majestic army disappear into the sky.
Old Man Lin stood still for a long time, and Lin Hai whispered on the side: "Grandpa, don't worry, Xiao Yu is so smart, he will definitely be fine." ”
Shaking his head, Old Man Lin's voice was slightly hoarse: "I'm not worried about Xiao Yu's safety, it's only through today's scene that I found out that Xiao Yu has really grown up, and he is no longer the bastard boy who only knows how to have fun and has always worried me about it!"
"Our Lin family, there are no cowards!"
Lin Hai stood aside and listened, and was also touched, and sighed: "Yes! If it weren't for Xiao Yu, I wouldn't be what I am now." Xiao Yu has grown up, I have to work harder!"
"Let's guard it in the imperial capital, and wait for Xiao Yu to return victoriously as soon as possible!" Old Man Lin put his hands behind his back, his body was straight, like a sharp sword that would never break, with a smile on his face and a wide range of eyes, as if he had returned to the era of arrogant conquest.
........................
After a long journey of more than ten days and nights, Lin Yu and Zhou Weida led an army of 100,000 and a thousand cultivators to finally arrive at the border of the Ximu Empire. On this day, they came to the vicinity of Demuxi, a border city to which the Ximu Empire belonged.
The soldiers were very tired from having been on the road for several days and had hardly rested. Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Yu ordered the whole army to camp in place and rest, while he took Zhou Weida to a small hill nearby, ready to check the terrain first.
"Report to Young Master Yu, there is a discovery ahead, there is a wave of grassland tribe troops fighting with the soldiers of the Ximu Empire, and it is the defenders of Demuxi. At present, the defenders are in defeat and have been forced to retreat into the city to defend, do you think we need to send troops to help?" Lin Chen suddenly appeared beside the two of them and reported with a clear look.
Zhou Weida was really taken aback by Lin Chen, and he didn't know where he suddenly came from, and almost cut him down with a sword.
"I said Lin Chen, the next time you appear, it's better to squeak first! Although I'm used to it, it's not good to scare Zhou Weida! If he misses and hacks you to death, who do you think I should find to explore my way in the future?" Lin Yu glanced at Lin Chen angrily.
This guy is sneaky every time he appears, and in this tense situation, someone suddenly appears out of nowhere, and I'm afraid that if I don't know, I will shoot at him as soon as possible.
Originally, Lin Yu had told Old Man Lin before going out that he should not let Lin Chen follow him on this expedition, after all, he was a general who went out to lead troops to fight, and he also followed his retainers to protect him, what was going on? What if the soldiers under him saw this scene and felt that their commander was a greedy man who was afraid of death?
However, Old Man Lin still couldn't rest assured, and instructed Lin Chen to secretly and quietly follow the army to set off. What kind of divine sense is Lin Yu? Within a few days, he felt it, and after playing a little trick, Lin Chen had no choice but to show up obediently.
Originally, Lin Yu wanted to persuade Lin Chen to let him go back, but he found that Lin Chen's guy was really a tendon, and it didn't make sense to live or die, so he had to take him with him and claim that he was his own soldier. Usually they basically sent him to secretly explore the way and inquire about the news, and he was not allowed to appear until the last resort, so as not to be misunderstood by the soldiers.
"Brother Lin Chen, I'm sorry! I was so nervous just now that I almost hurt you by mistake, don't take it to heart. Zhou Weida was a little embarrassed and put back the half-drawn sword.
After all, it was his first time on the expedition, so he was inevitably a little nervous and uneasy, and he was suspicious of everything, so he almost entered the state of being a soldier.
"It's not in the way, when I just fought with General Lin, I was less courageous than you. After killing the first enemy, I didn't sleep for a few days! Later, after killing the second and third, I began to think that this kind of thing was not a big deal, but later I killed more, and I gradually became numb, and I saw a lot of things. Take your time! You are still young, and you have a chance!" Lin Chen patted Zhou Weida on the shoulder and said lightly.
"Ah! Have you ever fought with General Lin? What is General Lin like on the battlefield? Isn't he very wise and majestic? Did the enemy run away as soon as he saw him?" Zhou Weida heard Lin Chen's eyes light up when he heard him talk about his idol, and he quickly asked.
Before Lin Chen could speak, he was interrupted by Lin Yu.
"Okay Lin Chen, don't teach Zhou Weida badly, let's talk about the situation of the battle before!" Watching Lin Chen talk about his past with an expressionless face, Lin Yu couldn't help but recall his experience on Earth.
Speaking of killing, the number of people who died at his hands at that time cannot be described as countless, but they can no longer be counted on two hands. However, he had a score in his heart, and most of the people he killed were heinous people, so he didn't feel any guilt.
"Yes, Young Master Yu!" Lin Chen didn't dare to slack off, and reported in 1510, "A dozen miles further on, there is the border city of the Ximu Empire, Demuxi. Demuxi is currently under attack, and the army of the steppe tribes that attacked Demuxi seems to be very well armed. I observed it from a distance, and judging from the grain and grass camps and military camps they had built simply, it was estimated that there were tens of thousands of people. ”
"At present, after they beat Demuxi's defenders back into the city, they are stationed outside the city and start to make large siege weapons, which should be ready to attack the city. Do you think it's better for us to go to the rescue, or do we bypass Demuxi and enter the Ximu Empire directly from other places?" After Lin Chen truthfully explained the observed data, he directly threw the question to Lin Yu.
Due to the long years of following Old Man Lin to fight in the south and north, Lin Chen can be said to know the art of surveying the enemy's situation well, with his ability, as long as he takes a cursory glance, he can judge the approximate number and intention of the enemy, and the error is very small.
"Brother Lin Chen, I think that since the enemy is attacking Demuxi City with all his might, can we take the opportunity to attack the enemy's rear? In this way, we can catch them off guard, and maybe they will withdraw directly, so there is no need to take a detour, right?" Zhou Weida said bluntly. After all, he had no experience in warfare, and he did not know how to analyze the current advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and us, but he only instinctively believed that attacking the enemy's abdomen and back was the best choice
