The hoofbeats were urgent on the official road from Shanggu Commandery to Zhuo Commandery.
Qin Feng and his group, who had arrived earlier, were almost instantly smitten with the location.
"The official road isn't too narrow but it's long enough, the woods on both sides are quite far, and there's no possibility of stones rolling down from nearby," m..oΓg
After a careful inspection, Li Xiuning nodded slightly.
"Normally, no one would suspect an ambush here."
"Then it's settled!"
Seeing that Li Xiuning had no objections, Qin Feng quickly opened his system inventory and took out ten thousand infantry summon cards.
"System, begin... You know what I want!"
"???"
"No!"
"I don't know!"
The system retorted unhappily before beginning to fulfill its duty.
"Ding~!"
"Respected Host, Random Ordinary Soldier Summon Card x6000, Random Elite Soldier Summon Card x4000... used successfully!"
"Congratulations, Host, you have obtained: 4000 Ordinary Longbowmen, 2000 Ordinary Repeating Crossbowmen, and 4000 Elite Heavy Infantry."
"Well done~!"
He secretly praised the stubborn system, and Qin Feng immediately commanded:
"Tell them to bring the fire arrows, incendiary oil, and that fine rice from the warehouse!"
"..."
Listening to Qin Feng's orders, the system was full of complaints but didn't know how to express them.
It was one thing to be able to summon and retrieve at will, but now he even wanted to remotely order people to bring things?
Yet, all of this was outside the scope of the rules!
After all,
Who in their right mind would have a warehouse that could summon and retrieve at will, and then go through the unnecessary trouble of having people carry things?
Forget it!
Since the rules didn't forbid it, it meant it was permissible.
What is not forbidden by law is permissible!
Thus,
Under the system's careful arrangement, the newly summoned soldiers, carrying supplies on their shoulders, marched over in a grand procession.
"This..."
Looking at the infantry soldiers who were carrying supplies in one hand and weapons in the other, Li Xiuning's pretty face was filled with question marks.
Do soldiers these days have to learn to bring their own supplies?
"Cough cough~!"
Qin Feng hadn't expected this situation either. After coughing awkwardly twice, he changed the subject and said, "Xiuning, the incendiary oil and all that are here, you arrange it as you see fit!"
"Okay~!"
Li Xiuning, having recovered from her surprise, didn't refuse. She agreed and led her men to set up the scene.
Seeing this,
Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead.
"System, can you be a bit more reliable? Don't we have carts in the warehouse?"
"But you didn't say you wanted to use them?"
"I..."
"If you don't say you want to use them, I'll use them. Then you'll worry I'm acting on my own. It's better to save trouble this way."
"You..."
Qin Feng, who had been silenced by the system, looked up at the sky speechlessly.
You've said everything that needs to be said and more, what else can I say?
Fortunately,
Just as Qin Feng was at a loss for words, Yang Yanqi darted out from behind him, her face full of anticipation, "My lord, should I set off now, or wait until things are ready?"
"Let's go now!"
Hearing her voice, Qin Feng smiled and waved his hand, directly ordering:
"Take those elite cavalry of the Great Han with you."
"Remember!"
"Don't scare them too much. You must lure them here."
"Understood~!"
Answering with great excitement, Yang Yanqi gathered eighteen hundred elite cavalry of the Great Han and sped off towards Shanggu Commandery.
Not long after,
While Qin Feng and the others were still setting up the scene, Yang Yanqi found Zhang Fei, who was harassing the Wuhuan rebels.
"Hmm?"
"It's a woman?!"
Seeing that it was a woman sent by Qin Feng, Zhang Fei couldn't help but grumble in his heart.
What did that mean?
Was he looking down on old Zhang?
It was one thing to send a woman, but she brought more men than he had?
He, he...
"Commander Zhang~!"
Yang Yanqi, unaware that she was being looked down upon, asked expectantly, "Those guys dare to chase after us? Should we give them a good lesson?"
"This..."
Zhang Fei, who had been somewhat displeased, instantly felt like he had found a kindred spirit.
However,
Thinking of Qin Feng's repeated instructions, Zhang Fei hesitated slightly, "Didn't Lord Qin ask us to harass them a few more times and then feign defeat?"
"That's right, isn't it?"
The excitement on Yang Yanqi's face faltered, and she seemed to hesitate.
Seeing this,
Zhang Fei became anxious. His eyes darted, and he said with concern, "But if we harass them too much, what if the Wuhuan don't fall for it in the end?"
"So what's your idea?"
Yang Yanqi had also recovered her wits and chimed in, "Fight a battle first?"
"Exactly!"
Zhang Fei nodded his head emphatically, his voice full of excitement, "We've only been harassing them these days, and no important figures have been killed, so they don't care at all."
"This time, we'll charge directly into the main army. If we kill a few more of them, they'll become anxious, and once they're anxious, they'll fall for it!"
"It stands to reason!"
Yang Yanqi nodded her small head with feigned admiration.
"In that case, Yanqi will follow Commander Zhang's orders."
"Guards!"
"Relay Commander Zhang's order: the entire army is to prepare for battle and launch a full-scale attack in the afternoon!"
"???"
Zhang Fei, who had been talking so smoothly, suddenly froze.
What, what the heck?
Relay my order?!
This plan was originally proposed by you, a woman!
Unfortunately,
Before Zhang Fei could even process what was happening, Yang Yanqi had already begun issuing orders.
What a joke?
While she did want to fight, who would dare disobey the lord's command?
Now that she had finally found someone to blame, why wouldn't she take advantage of it?
Thinking this,
Yang Yanqi didn't give Zhang Fei a chance to back out. She spurred her horse back to the formation, pretending to be very busy.
Seeing this,
Zhang Fei could only let out a wry smile. He knew he was stuck with taking the blame!
Forget it!
He'll take the blame!
As long as he didn't hurt the Wuhuan too badly, he believed they wouldn't run.
However,
Glancing at Yang Yanqi in the formation, Zhang Fei made a decision in his heart.
No wonder people always say that women and petty people are difficult to deal with!
I've learned my lesson!
From now on, I must stay far away from women, the kind you run away from as soon as you see them!
...
Wuhuan rebel army,
Central army,
As they got closer and closer to Zhuo Commandery, Chakur's mood grew increasingly better.
This journey had been too smooth!
Although the Han army's resistance was tenacious, and there was always a cavalry force lingering around him.
But these cavalry, apart from dealing with unstable elements for him, had not affected his plan in any way.
Even,
To cooperate with this cavalry, he had strictly ordered the warriors of the Chakur tribe not to interfere.
He had even scolded the generals leading the troops from various tribes who came to ask for help.
The vanguard alone had five thousand warriors, and they couldn't even deal with a mere thousand cavalry?
What use are you useless people?
And you want reinforcements?
Not executing you useless wretches was already my great mercy as chieftain.
However,
Chakur could never have imagined that retribution would come so quickly.
On this bright sunny afternoon,
Just as the army was about to leave Shanggu Commandery.
They're here!
They've arrived!
