Chapter 175: Destroying a Country in Three Days (2)

Night shrouded the earth, and only the sparks at the pier illuminated the busy people.

"Move quickly!"

"Just bring one day's rations! Throw the rest away!"

"Bring me the bows, arrows, and crossbows!"

Shen Tianzi was wearing thick bright light armor at this time, and he looked completely different from during the day.

"We will leave tonight and arrive at Ou Licheng tomorrow!"

Fully four thousand elite soldiers were crowded on the battleships, and dozens of large ships were docked at the dock, just like countless monsters staring at the sea.

"General, everything is ready!"

The adjutant came to report to Shen Tianzi that these tasks had been started early in the morning and were finally completed now.

"good!"

When Shen Tianzi saw the soldiers boarding the battleship, he jumped from the gangplank to the bow of the ship.

"Sail! Tell the soldiers to take a rest now!"

The ship was bumpy, but Shen Tianzi's soldiers had been training to live on the ship a month ago, so it was easy to make do for just one night.

Shen Tianzi stood on the bow of the ship in high spirits, looking at the land that was gradually receding, and smiled.

This battle must be won!

Just when the Song Army began large-scale operations, Lin Yi's domestic response was not slow.

Now the general in Linyi is called Su Peng, and he is also a Han.

When he heard the news that a large number of soldiers from the Song Army had arrived in Jiaozhou, he had not slept for several days and nights.

Some subordinates wondered: "General, what do you have to fear about the Song Dynasty army? Weren't they driven out of our country many times before? As long as we deal with the opponent in the jungle, even if the opponent has a hundred thousand troops, they will never come in." "

"madness!"

Su Peng was already in a irritable mood, and he became even more angry when his subordinate said this.

"Do you know who is here this time?"

"It's Wang Zhene!"

"The grandson of the famous prime minister Wang Meng! The fierce general who once conquered Chang'an!"

"It's even said that there's that old fox Du Huidu! I'm afraid this will be a disaster for me, Lin Yi!"

The people of Linyi State are isolated from the outside world, but as a senior executive, Su Peng is well aware of the outside world.

He knew how difficult the new emperor in the north was to be trifled with, and he also knew how powerful the Song army was.

Moreover, due to domestic affairs in Lin Yi, part of the army was transferred by the royal family, and he now only has 4,000 soldiers in hand.

In his opinion, unless a miracle happens, there is basically no chance of winning this battle.

Su Peng carried his tired body to the Buddhist hall at his home to pray:

"Omnipotent Lord Buddha, please send down your magical power to bless your loyal followers!"

"Let the commander of the Song Army become ignorant and the soldiers of the Song Army become weak. Let them be attacked by tigers and leopards, poisoned by mosquitoes, and trampled to death by elephants..."

While he was praying, a Linyi spy came back from the north with an unhappy look on his face.

After he met Su Peng, he told him the information he had found in Jiaozhou.

"General! This time the Song army came, there are probably thousands of soldiers!"

Thousands of soldiers are not too many for the national war of the Central Plains Dynasty, but they are definitely a subversive combat power for a small country like Linyi.

Su Peng's eyes became dizzy after hearing this.

The spy said with some indignation: "Also, the new general of the Song Army is arrogant and said that he will defeat our country within three days. It's really abominable!"

He never thought about it, but these words made Su Peng feel like he had grasped a life-saving straw. He grabbed the spy's shoulder and said emotionally: "Do you mean what you said?"

"Of course! The other party seems to have issued a military order!"

After hearing this, Su Peng looked up to the sky and laughed: "God help me! Lord Buddha has eyes!"

People around him didn't understand why Su Peng was laughing. Looking at their confused eyes, Su Peng enjoyed a sense of superiority over his IQ.

"fool!"

"The more arrogant the new Song Army general is, the better!"

"That old fox Du Huidu knows our country well. If he were the coach, he would definitely not choose to confront our army head-on! He has fought with our army for so many years, and he must know that our army is not easy to mess with in the jungle."

"Although the new Wang Zhen'e is a famous general in the north, when he comes to the south, the rules are completely different!"

The more Su Peng talked, the more excited he became.

"Since Wang Zhene didn't listen to Du Huidu and boasted that he would defeat our army within three days when he arrived, he must be planning to fight our army in one go!"

"At that time, as long as the Song army is led into the jungle and into our home field, even if he has the ability to suppress evil and reach the sky, he will not be able to come out of the jungle alive!"

After Su Peng learned the news, he immediately set out from Licheng, District, with 4,000 Linyi troops, and set up defenses in the jungle.

At the same time, Wang Zhene and Du Huidu also brought nearly 10,000 soldiers to the northern frontier of Linyi.

Du Huidu pointed to the endless jungle ahead and said to Wang Zhene:

"General Wang, look."

"There was originally an ancient road in these jungles, but since the founding of Linyi, the road was destroyed."

"Now Lin Yiguo regards these jungles as fortresses to stop our army. Most of their soldiers are hiding in the jungle, wearing clothes made of leaves, and holding weapons coated with poison, waiting for our army."

Wang Zhene frowned involuntarily when he looked at the jungle.

"These natural barriers are no less dangerous than any other barrier in the world."

But the battle must still be fought.

Wang Zhene said to Du Huidu beside him: "Then this time it all depends on Governor Du."

Yes, Wang Zhene handed over the command of the army to Du Huidu.

This is not a lack of confidence in one's abilities, but a leader who needs to look at the overall situation.

Rushing into battle is not what he needs to do now.

Du Huidu fought with Lin Yi countless times, but he was the expert in dealing with Lin Yi.

"There is only one requirement. We must hold off the other party and buy time for Shen Tianzi."

"Don't worry, General Wang!"

If he wanted to defeat the opponent, Du Huidu might not have the confidence, but if he just held off, it would be very simple.

Immediately, Du Huidu ordered the soldiers to be divided into groups of five, with two groups forming a team, standing next to each other, and entered the jungle in batches.

The soldiers he sent up were not the new ones brought by Wang Zhene, but his own veterans.

They are more familiar with the jungle environment and more cautious, knowing that this seemingly peaceful jungle is actually full of man-eating monsters lurking.

The smell of decay, the greenery everywhere, and the muddy truth, this is the most intuitive feeling of the soldiers.

Every time they took a step, the soldiers' hearts would twitch, fearing that a cold arrow would fly out somewhere in the jungle and end their lives.

More and more soldiers entered the jungle with their armor on. Stepping into this quiet jungle, they moved forward under the eyes of pairs of voyeurs.

The humid environment in the jungle can easily dehydrate the body. Gradually, the Song army could not maintain its formation, and there was a gap of about two people with the comrades in front.

"call out!"

A subtle sound broke through the air, and all the soldiers quickly lowered their heads.

The experienced soldier had already locked onto the direction of the arrow: "On the tree! Raise your shield!"

The Song troops raised their shields one after another, and the next moment...

The downpour of arrows came with a poisonous light filled with color.
