Boom boom boom.
The sound of war drums gradually subsided, and the entire Shenjiying army also slowly slowed down, and finally stopped at the border of Dagan.
The army was a huge black mass, consisting entirely of cavalry, with the flags of each camp fluttering in the wind.
Lin Che was dressed in battle armor, with a special battle robe and cape on his back. He was riding a blood-red warhorse with a solemn expression as he looked towards the Dagan border less than a kilometer ahead.
The border of Dagan is easy to identify. There is a beacon tower on the top of the mountain almost every ten miles.
Once an enemy army attacks, the border guards guarding the beacon tower will light the beacon tower to send a message to the nearby city and send troops to intercept at any time.
If it were normal times, when encountering enemy troops, large numbers of bandits, etc., the border guards guarding the beacon towers would definitely shout loudly and start to warn the invaders.
A small soldier dared to shout at the enemy general.
But now, the border guards guarding the beacon tower dare not show their heads at all.
They didn't even dare to stand up straight, and could only crouch down and hide in the corner of the beacon tower, looking at the army in front of them in panic.
"Here he comes, he really comes. He comes with a large army."
"What should we do, Boss? Is this Champion Marquis plotting a rebellion? Should we light the beacon tower now?"
"What are you panicking about? No more waiting. Light the beacon now. Our duty is to deliver the message, not to die in vain. Quick, light it!"
A border guard received the order, turned over, drew two swords from his waist, circulated his true energy, and slashed the two swords fiercely.
Bang.
A sword burst into flames, and he lit the beacon tower without hesitation.
The materials in the beacon tower are not just firewood or wolf dung. Once ignited, thick smoke will rise into the sky.
The rising wolf smoke symbolizes that war is coming!
Soon, the second and third beacon towers discovered the signal smoke from this side. Without delay, they also started to light the beacon towers.
Immediately afterwards, an extremely spectacular scene appeared.
At first glance, the sky was cloudless and the mountains were green and beautiful. As the beacon towers were lit one after another, the whole world seemed to have changed.
The wolf smoke rising into the sky was like a dragon sucking water, straight into the sky.
At this speed of communication, nearby cities will soon receive the news.
"General! They've lit the beacon towers. There are three cities nearby. If we force our way in and head towards Leishi City, we'll be attacked from both sides."
Yao Wenkui looked at the billowing smoke and quickly reported to Lin Che.
On the battlefield, the army is very afraid of being attacked from both sides.
Lin Che had even heard of a question: In ancient times, when fighting, why did the army march to a city and capture it even if it meant a bloody battle? Couldn't they just go around it?
This can certainly be circumvented, but once it is circumvented, one will be attacked from both front and back.
This is what Yao Wenkui is reminding us of now.
Lin Che just smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who comes. We will enter directly and head straight for Thunder Lion City."
The so-called pincer attack is only dangerous when both sides are equally matched, with the enemy being attacked from behind. But what if it's eggs hitting a rock? Can a basket of eggs attacking a large rock from behind really break it?
Just a piece of sweet potato and some egg rolls, and you want to kill me, Lin Che?
wishful thinking!
“Entry!!”
Boom!
The Shenji Camp set out again, directly crossing the border of Dagan and heading straight for Leishi City.
In a short period of time, various military intelligence reports were transmitted frantically to Lei Shi City.
"Report—The Divine Machine Battalion has crossed Partridge Mountain and will reach our Leishi City in as little as one day and one night."
"General Guo. The Shenji Battalion has approximately 35,000 soldiers and horses, that's for sure. They're all cavalry, and they even had military spirit signs when they charged. They're definitely not just a bunch of militia as rumored."
"General Guo, the prince has sent an order, ordering us to defend Leishi City at all costs. Our reinforcements will arrive in two days at most!"
On the top of the city wall, Guo Zisai's face twitched and his beard seemed to be about to explode.
What does it mean that reinforcements will arrive?
Guo Zisai has been in the army for thirty years. How many battles, big and small, has he fought in?
A mere 35,000 ragtag troops, do they still need him to wait for support?
"Humph! My Tiance Army has gathered, a total of 40,000. 40,000 troops defending the city. We have defended this city for ten years. I know exactly how many bricks there are and how many sewers there are."
"Lin Che is a discarded son of the Zhenguo Mansion. He became a famous general based on a few war poems? What can he use to attack the city? When I led 3,000 soldiers to defend the city, he was still breastfeeding! Humph!!"
As Guo Zisai spoke, he began to patrol the city walls.
He was indeed a veteran and would not underestimate the enemy, but precisely because he was a veteran, he knew better. A truly combat-ready army would need at least three years of training before even the slightest bit of strength would show up.
Lin Che had only been leading this so-called Divine Machine Camp for a few months?
As for why the Zhenyuan Army was massacred by the Shenji Camp in the desert, 30,000 people? That was also very simple. It must be that Lin Pojun was eager for quick success and was blinded by hatred.
There was so much quicksand in the desert, and they actually rushed in. I'm afraid they didn't even see the shadow of the Shenji Camp, and were all buried alive in the quicksand.
"Pass the order down. All soldiers must strictly abide by military discipline and must not leave their posts without permission. Especially drinking and visiting military concubines. Normally, I can ignore them. But anyone who dares to neglect them now will be killed without mercy."
"yes--"
Looking down from the top of the city wall, Guozisai was a full two hundred meters high. It was called a city, but it looked more like an impenetrable natural fortress.
Because there are dangerous mountains on both sides, the mountains are made of hard rocks, and there are towers built on the peaks and terrifying mechanisms arranged.
