C37 surprise attack

Abandoning his supplies, Lin Xing advanced with light equipment and half a month's worth of dry rations, and with everything ready, Lin Xing led the fifty thousand strong army and set off in a grandiose manner.

When the generals finally understood the target and the enemy's strength, their faces paled.

He had challenged the several million strong army of the Giant Spirit Sect with fifty thousand men and a hundred times the number of enemies. They suspected that this young man had gone crazy. This wasn't a war, this was a suicide.

However, orders were like mountains, and they were going to rescue the general. They had to go and do it even if they had to risk their lives. After coming to this conclusion, the generals were relieved of their worries.

The Azure Silver Country was still the closest to the battlefield, only 20,000 miles away. Lin Xing led his great army day and night as he dashed without stopping. Occasionally, he would stop to rest for a few hours before continuing his journey.

After half a month, the great army arrived at a mountain range. Everyone was exhausted, so tired that they no longer had the strength to walk. Their morale was low, and they were like a group of defeated soldiers.

"General, let's stop and rest. The soldiers won't be able to last long after running for so many days." The battle had not even begun, and he was already exhausted. If he were to rush to the front line, he would not be at the mercy of others even in this state.

His name was Hu Jue, and he held the highest position in the army camp of Black Wind Mountain. He had followed Lin Shen to many battlefields, and his prestige in the army was outstanding.

"Then let's rest for the night. We'll travel at dawn." Looking up at the sky full of stars, Lin Qi said lightly.

The soldier shouted three times and all the soldiers collapsed to the ground. They were exhausted like a bear; some even fell asleep with thunderous snores.

"General, aren't we going to rescue the great general?" "Why do you seem to have taken a detour on this path? From the map, it's clear that you've taken a detour." Hu Jue spread out a map on the horse's back and observed the surrounding terrain with a puzzled look on his face.

Upon hearing this, the other high-ranking officers also looked at Lin Xing with puzzled expressions. Even Ah Shan was confused.

Lin Xing laughed as he unsheathed his sword and pointed it at the map. "Our goal this time is to save the Great General, but did I say that we would directly clash with the million strong army of the Giant Spirit Sect?" I'm going to take you all here. "

Everyone's eyes focused on the tip of the sword as their expressions suddenly changed, becoming incomparably pale.

Crazy, this arrogant brat must be crazy. This was because the location the tip of the sword had pointed to was already deep within the territory of the Giant Spirit Sect.

"General, you can't. Our troops are simply courting death by going deep into the heart of the Giant Spirit. We can't even bring up a single flower. There are at least a hundred cities there."

Someone immediately jumped out and started shouting. This was more dangerous than directly clashing with the million strong army of the Giant Spirit Sect. Even if they couldn't beat it, they could still run and still have the chance to escape. Once they entered the Giant Spirit's territory, all avenues of retreat would be sealed. At that time, no one would be able to survive.

"Our Sky Sect and the Giant Spirit Sect have always been on the same side at the front line. We can't do anything to each other, but we lost so quickly? "Why is that?" Lin Xing looked at them and asked.

The generals seemed to be deep in thought. For a moment, none of them answered as they waited for the next part.

"I'm guessing that the army that the Giant Spirit Sect is garrisoned in is out in full strength, which is why we, the Sky Sect, have suffered such a crushing defeat. But now, this place must be empty, even if there are people left to defend, it won't be too many. Lin Qi smiled confidently, full of confidence.

All the generals nodded with shining eyes, as if what he said made sense. It seemed dangerous, but it was the most effective way to save the army.

"If the Giant Spirit Army withdraws and comes back to our aid, we will return the same way we came. I guarantee that you will be safe and sound." Lin Xing fed them another tranquilizer.

"At the command of the general." All the generals bowed in unison, their expressions serious.

Lin Xing raised his head to look at Haoyue, his expression grave, without sadness or joy, and said: "As soon as our troops arrive here, we will immediately start the battle."

Two days later, an ancient city with a city wall that was over ten zhang tall was standing in front of them. It looked ancient and simple, and after a long while, the atmosphere became heavier and heavier, blocking Lin Xing and his army's path.

On the city wall, figures could be vaguely seen. Banners were everywhere, the battle drums were roaring, and armors were flying everywhere.

"This ?"

The generals were stunned. No matter how they looked at it, it didn't look like an empty city.

"General, let's retreat. If we are discovered, it will be too late." A high-ranking officer said slowly.

"Hmm?" Lin Xing glared at him and viciously said, "If anyone dares to say that they want to retreat again, kill them!"

For a moment, all the generals shrank back, not daring to speak anymore.

He turned his head and looked at the city ahead of him. After a while, he said confidently, "I told you, all the cities here are empty. He Lei, Ming Yi, two generals, this battle will be your chance to gain merits. Charge, if you can't take this city, you can meet me head on. "

"Understood." He Lei and Ming Yi braced themselves and replied in unison. They knew that they were going to die, but they had no choice but to fight.

Then, the two of them took the lead, disregarding death and leading their subordinates to charge towards the city ahead to kill.

However, the war had just begun, and everyone was dazzled by what they saw.

The wall was ten meters tall, and even the most ordinary of soldiers had the strength of a carrier. It was easy for them to climb up, but they did not encounter the enemy's encirclement.

"General, it's really an empty city." The generals were ecstatic. They could not help but admire Lin Xing's' conjectures'.

The line of soldiers on the city wall was killed, then it was cut off. No one came up to support them. Ming Yi and He Lei easily attacked the city wall.

He Lei stood on top of the city gate tower and excitedly laughed out loud. Holding a wooden head in his hand, he threw it down from the city gate and rolled in front of Lin Qi's horse's hooves.

"General, the people from the Giant Spirit Sect are actually using a bunch of wooden puppets to make up the numbers. Do they really think we're blind?" He Lei laughed loudly.

"Wooden people?" Lin Qi looked over to where the sound had come from. The wooden puppets had all been covered in armor. If they hadn't been exposed when the fight started, it would have been impossible to tell that they were fake.

Lin Qi pinched the flesh on his waist and muttered to himself, "This commander of the Giant Spirit Sect is truly not simple."

He raised his head and said to Ming Yi and He Lei, "Generals, I order you to be the vanguard and continue attacking the city."

"Understood." This time, the two of them happily accepted it. They were full of confidence and didn't show any more dissatisfaction. If they couldn't even take down the empty city, then they could really run into a wall and die.

Although this area had over a hundred cities, because it was used as a base for the army, it was rare for civilians to live here. The number of people left in the city was very few, at most there were two or three guards.

"General, let's enter the city." Hu Jue asked for instructions.

Lin Xing shook his head, "No, order the army to set up camp outside the city. No one is allowed to leave, send scouts at the same time to investigate the situation on the battlefield. If there is any movement, report back to me immediately."
