Chapter 90 Linghu Communication
(The extra update from last night is like this chapter, and I still owe debts)
Chen Hai and the others discussed it and decided to continue to advance to the hinterland of the enemy. When they were packing their luggage and leaving the mountain in the dark, they heard a subtle sound of breaking through the air.
Chen Hai looked up and saw a black shadow swept through the night sky from the hill to the north.
It was a small and beautiful spirit bird. Its sharp eyes quickly caught Chen Hai and the others standing on the ridge, making a harsh sound like nails slashing across the glass.
Under the watery moonlight, this was a green swan with black feathers, stretching out its scales with metallic luster, directly grasping Chen Hai's shoulder and falling down.
This is a spirit swan used for emergency transmission in the army. It is less than one foot in size and is not considered a ferocious spirit bird. However, its sense of smell and nose consciousness is extremely sharp, and it even exceeds the cultivation level of the peak Mingqiao realm of the nose consciousness. Its flight speed is also extremely fast. Taming this spirit swan in the Wuwei army is mainly used for emergency transmission and is extremely efficient.
However, the number of Lingshou is small, and Li Xiang is on standby in front of the sea tent. He will not use it easily if he does not contact him or send a message in an emergency.
Zhou Jun, Wu Meng, Zhao Shan, and Shen Kun all looked at each other. At this time, the news of the letter spirit swan flew over from the direction of the Nantianmen Village camp, and there were thin metal tubes encapsulating the letter tied to the claws. It must be that Li Xianghai ordered them to return and make other arrangements.
"Let's go now!" Chen Hai untied the metal tube on the claws of the spirit swan, but without dismantling it, he turned over and rode on the green cunning horse, and took the lead in climbing mountains and ridges to the shallow snow grassland south.
"Isn't it a bit bad if you don't read Master Li's letter?" Zhou Jun came over and asked uneasyly.
"At this time, if we are eager to march, the enemy may be lurking nearby. It is too late for us to hide our traces. How can we light a torch to read the letter?" Chen Hai said, "It will not be too late to see it when we enter the boundary of Yanchuan Prefecture."
Zhou Jun looked up at the bright moonlight as bright as water, laughed twice, and said nothing. When he entered the Yanchuan Prefecture territory, even if the letter ordered them to return to the camp, they could be said to have sneaked into the enemy's territory and the return was easily detected by the enemy.
However, only Chen Hai dared to do such a thing, and was not afraid of being scolded.
The towering giant sword was condensed in front and behind the Tiebi Mountain for five times, and then the night sky returned to its original state of cloud cover. Chen Hai led his troops to rush out of Yulong Mountain from the dangerous and remote path and entered the sparse forest grassland north of Yanchuan Prefecture. The dark dark night sky fell again with heavy snow.
At this time, Chen Hai opened the letter brought by Linghu. It turned out that Li Xianghai ordered them to return to the camp and standby, and the combat plan was arranged.
Chen Hai was on the back of the horse and wrote a reply letter, indicating that they had sneaked into the enemy's territory and were easily noticed by the enemy's journey. At this time, they could only take the risk to continue to sneak into the hinterland of the enemy's territory and reconnaissance the enemy's situation as planned.
Chen Hai rolled the letter into a thin strip, stuffed it into a metal tube, tied it back to the scales of the spirit swan, and put it to the north of Nantianmenzhai camp.
The climate on the southern foot of Yulong Mountain was dry, which was not conducive to farming. In addition to the confrontation between the two armies, a large number of people retreated from the southern foot of Yulong Mountain, and the villages were sparse. After the autumn of the 71st year of Emperor Yitian, the drought on the north and south sides of Yulong Mountain was reduced, and the abandoned fields were covered with dense weeds and shrubs, which were conducive to Chen Hai and his friends hiding whereabouts.
There are still two hours before dawn. Seeing that the snow will not stop, Chen Hai and the others will rush to the mountains more than 100 miles south to rest before dawn. The valleys and forests are deep, so it is easy to hide traces and avoid the reconnaissance of the Hexiang Army's scouts.
They planned to stay there for a day, and then travel south by night, and might go around the south of the Hexiang Army defense line.
******************************
Nantianmen Village is more than 200 miles away from the southern foot of Yulong Mountain. The mountains are rugged and unfavorable for the army to pass. However, it only took half an hour for Linghu to fly over the mountains to deliver the message, and then brought Chen Hai's reply to Nantianmen Village.
Chen Lie rushed to Nantianmen Village as soon as possible, set up the central tent of the eastern wing soldiers in Nantianmen Village, and ordered the generals and lieutenants of the eastern wing tribes of Yulong Shandong, including those at the commander level of Huanglongyuan Taoist Court, to report to him.
At this time, more than a dozen Mingqiao Realm powerhouses had gathered in Chen Lie's tent.
Only then did Li Xianghai and the others know the overall plan of the General Mansion of the Great Protector, and only then did they know that the Wuwei Divine Marquis Dong Liang would personally lead the main force to conquer Lanchuan County in the south, planning to tear the Hexiang Army's defense line in the north in one fell swoop. They had not yet recovered from their great shock.
Li Hu walked in and handed Chen Hai's reply to Li Xianghai.
Li Xianghai had read the letter from the thin paper cursive script, and was amused and crying. Seeing Chen Lie looking at the golden sword edict sent by the direction of Tiebishan, he waved to Chen Hai's reply to Chen Zhang.
"What? Chen Hai has led his troops to sneak into the enemy territory, so he can only continue to move forward?"
The tent was brightly lit and all the generals gathered. Chen Zhang saw Li Xianghai's reply letter from Chen Hai and asked angrily.
Chen Zhang was not questioning Li Xianghai, the captain of Suwu who was higher than him, but was just annoyed that Chen Hai refused to listen to the greeting at this time and insisted on acting alone.
"It is said that the letter Linghu did fly back from Yanchuan County, and Chen Hai led his troops back, and there is indeed a possibility of exposure." Li Xianghai explained. He could not say that he was unable to control himself and did not have the ability to recall Chen Hai's troops.
Before tonight, he sent two teams to sneak into Yanchuan Mansion to reconnaise the enemy situation. The other team was already on the way back, and Chen Hai's team was determined to continue to act as planned.
Chen Zhang obviously would not accept Li Xianghai's speech for Chen Hai. Now the Hexiang Army's attention is on the direction of Heyang Valley. Even if Chen Hai and the others were exposed in the northern part of Yanchuan, the Hexiang Army was in chaos at this time. How could they send troops to intercept a small group of scouts?
Chen Zhang couldn't guess what Chen Hai was thinking. Even if Chen Hai led his troops to continue to sneak into the enemy territory, Chen Hai, as the "legitimate son" of his adoptive father, took the lead in not obeying the military orders of the big tent. Chen Zhang felt extremely unhappy and was worried that Chen Hai's mischief would affect his adoptive father's prestige in commanding the entire army.
Hearing Chen Zhang's slightly fierce words, Chen Lie looked up here.
Li Xianghai asked, "If I hadn't been to my personal trip and bring them back?"
He was not blaming Chen Hai for disobeying the military order, but was worried that the situation in the south would be unpredictable. He could not explain what Chen Hai had in front of Chen Lie.
"The war is about to break out, how can we care about those gangsters making trouble?" Chen Lie frowned. Although he was also worried that Chen Hai would continue to sneak into the enemy territory, he would not let the general in front of the tent take risks at this time in order to recover Chen Hai.
"This guy is really worry-free!" Chen Qing said disgustedly.
The war was about to begin. Not only Zhao Ruhui, but also Zhang Huaiyu and others had to obey the mobilization in front of Chen Lie's tent, but thousands of Taoist soldiers over fifteen years old in the Taoist temple were also organized into the personal soldiers and guard camps in front of the tents of various ministries under the leadership of the Zhuan Gongshu.
Including nearly 200 young men in the Medicine Temple Garden Disciple Camp, there were nearly 400 disciples in the Taoist temple, as well as Chen Qing and other chiefs and deacons, all of whom were directly incorporated into Chen Lie's Guard Camp.
At this time, Chen Qing and Su Ziling naturally rushed to Chen Lie's tent to listen to the orders of the Hou.
Chen Qing admitted that Chen Hai had some talent in military affairs such as training soldiers, but this was true, and he felt that he should come back immediately to assist his father in military affairs. Unexpectedly, he was so willful that he would continue to sneak towards the enemy territory with sixty or seventy people.
Chen Hai was incorporated into the army and mainly used his life in front of Li Xianghai's tent. Li Xianghai could vaguely guess what Chen Hai wanted to do, but it was not convenient to say it directly.
At this time, Su Yuan, who was sitting aside and helping Chen Lie sort out his copy, raised his head, as if he was thinking of something, and said to Chen Lie: "The young marquis was alone in the enemy's territory and returned rashly at this time. It is indeed dangerous to expose his whereabouts. It is not convenient to send someone to pick him up at this critical moment, but he should be able to send a swan to contact him at any time. If you really encounter any dangerous or favorable fighter jets, you can also send him a message in time."
There are not many Linghu in the army who have used the transmission, so Chen Lie can call for seven or eight heads to quickly pass the military orders in the Nantianmen Village Camp, but there will be no major problems when squeezed out. It is better than a master like Li Xianghai who personally went there.
Li Xianghai glanced at Su Yuan, thought about his words, and felt that he should have guessed that Chen Hai was infiltrating into the enemy territory to capture favorable fighter planes, so he suggested to Chen Lie.
Thinking of this, Li Xianghai pondered for a moment and suggested to Chen Lie: "After the Protector General ordered our 30,000 elite troops to go out of Yulong Mountain, he would occupy the camp in the southern foot of the village to protect the main force. However, the battlefield was ever-changing. We should draw troops from the generals' guard camps, reorganize an elite cavalry battalion that can move at any time and capture more powerful fighter jets..."
The eastern wing of the Yulong Camp was 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers and horses, mainly infantry, and a small number of mobile cavalry were mainly scattered in the generals' guard camps and patrol camps. These elites can also be said to be the core elites of the eastern wing soldiers and horses, and are the private soldiers of the generals, and no one is willing to hand over them.
However, as soon as Li Xianghai said this, the eyes of many generals gathered in the tent lit up, and no one objected, but looked at Chen Lie with great anticipation.
No one is stupid. After the Protector General announced his full plan, they knew that at least the first half of the battle they could not even drink meat soup.
They had already accepted their fate by sighing, but listening to Li Xianghai and Su Yuan singing and reunion, the smart people quickly figured it out.
Chen Hai's slut did not obey the order and returned to the camp. Didn't he just want to lurk to the Hexiang Army's defense line in advance and wait to capture the fighter plane?
At this time, they handed over the private soldiers in their hands and formed an elite cavalry battalion of two or three thousand people. Chen Hai really had any major enemy situation in the Hexiang Army's defense line. More than two thousand elite cavalry could intersperse seven or eight hundred miles a day and one night to destroy the enemy. This was the only way for them to gain military achievements in the first half of this battle.
Besides, the elite cavalry camp of two or three thousand people can be said to be the scouts sent by them. As long as Chen Lie leads the generals and more than 30,000 infantry main force to garrison the southern foothills, even if he complies with military orders...
