Chapter 262 Mission Impossible
After that, Lu Xuan did not continue to pay attention to the matter of the Imperial Guards. Instead, he focused on the upcoming battle.
Now Lu Xuan's physical strength has been fully restored and his true energy has been restored to more than half. If he really wants to fight, he will lead troops to break the formation without any pressure. However, this operation is too technical. At the same time, due to the revival of magic, Lu Xuan is not sure whether there are some unexpected dangers in this battle, so he decided to fight this war in a more orthodox way.
The time is too short, and most of the combat power is just infantry, but Lu Xuan knows the key to the cavalry, so he still gathers two teams of thousands in advance.
The main reason is that there are not enough war horses. In this continent, if you want the best war horse, of course, you will trade with the Dothraki. However, Daenerys has a special identity, and is the wife of Kaor, a Kalixi. After the death of the King of Horses, most tribes left her. It can be seen that they do not agree with Daenerys leading a tribe. Therefore, Astabo has never been able to establish a stable trade relationship with the Dothraki. War horses are considered scarce resources in the city.
"The opponent's mercenary group is now only twenty miles away from us. In theory, this distance can be launched at any time. However, according to the urinary nature of those mercenaries, they cannot fight in a short period of time. According to our informant reports, they are now raising prices and demanding higher commissions. This is an opportunity for us.
The second son group, the blowing group, and the Explosion Group were the main forces of this attack. However, the three mercenary groups did not trust each other, and each other wanted to go first. The camps were also wary of each other. The arrangement of the entire camp was as bad as shit. So, I planned to have a tentative attack tonight. Two thousand-man teams raided their camp. But I wouldn't really attack, I just pretended to be a feint and tried their quality."
To be honest, Lu Xuan saw the arrangement of the opponent's garrison camp. He almost had to concentrate everyone on a wave of arbitrage. As long as the Wugui attacked the forward, the forward arrow formation pushed forward from the front. The 40,000 people on the opposite side would definitely be defeated at one touch. However, Wugui would be gone in the future, and one less was used. Before the new army he trained, this Wugui legion still needed to retain its vitality as much as possible.
"Sir Jora, you will lead this raid. Listen, take a team of thousands of cavalry to raid the enemy camp. But don't really go. When you are about to approach the enemy camp, make some big noise and alarm the enemy. Then you fire a round of rockets at the camp, then turn around and run. There is no need to do any substantial battle."
"How could I take a cavalry and bypass all the posts and approach the enemy's camp?" Jora said that you seemed to be a little too despised by me.
"You don't need to worry about this. Daenerys and her dragon will help you clean up all the posts in advance. The dragon is too small to participate in large-scale battles. But sneaking into those small posts at night is definitely a perfect hunter."
"I understand, I'll prepare now."
"Okay, let's talk about the spy problem in the city. So far, our anti-espionage operation has been pretty good. In the past three days, we have caught twelve spies that have penetrated outside. But now, I want to tell you that the spies we have locked up are not twelve, but fifteen. There are three more people, who are under surveillance but are free. Because I need the cooperation of the three of them to perform a play."
Qiaola's feint was very smooth, just as Lu Xuan said, in the night, the other party had no intention of chasing him.
Daenerys, who possessed the dragon, could see it more clearly.
"The second son group was attacked, but the rest of the mercenary groups had no intention of rescue. They just took some defensive measures to prevent themselves from being attacked. The overall reaction was similar to what you wanted to guess, or even worse. It was basically certain that these guys had no desire to attack at all. In addition, that guy had successfully escaped back to the camp."
"It's also a problem for the enemy to be too angry. If you run away as soon as you fight, it's hard for you to wipe out them all. So try to see if they're greedy enough."

Swan was a spy, mediocre and slick. It was actually a bit difficult for him to enter Astabo to inquire about military information. But there was no way, and the slave owners would not accept the rejection. So he came. He has been in this industry for some years, and Swan has not had many achievements, but he lives well and has accumulated some experience.
His mission is mainly to collect information from the defenders in the city, how many people are distributed, those who may be bribed, and other similar information.
Swan also got some valuable information. For example, he found out that the young and strong in the city joined the army enthusiastically, and the number of soldiers guarding the city was far beyond his estimate. At the same time, he also learned that although there were many people, the verbal weapons and armor in the city were in short supply. Except for those who were pure, the rest of the defenders did not have enough armor and weapons at all.
After getting this information, Swan felt that he could submit it. No matter how deep the information was, he would never dig it out even if he had it. Because those things were easy to die.
But fate is so dramatic that he doesn't want to dig deeper information. But the information comes to him.
The person who came was a wealthy businessman in the city. Of course, he also had another identity, a former good master.
"We used to have everything, and everyone in this city was to bow to our feet. But now, those slaves, they all became free people. Our glory as good Lords is gone. We will not allow this to happen. We want to kill Daenerys and take back everything we have. But after that battle, we have lost the capital to confront her head. So, tell your master, we can cooperate."
The visitor gave a large number of terms for cooperation. It was nothing more than various commercial concessions after recapturing Astarpo. These were not something that people like Swan should care about. What he really cared about was that the other party told him a secret about the secret passage of Astarpo.
"That was a group of smugglers secretly developed by drainage channels hundreds of years ago. Later, they were sealed. But for hundreds of years, the fences had long been decayed and vulnerable. With the help of those secret passages, your people could bypass the defenders and quickly enter the city. Even the impotence could not defend it under the attack inside and outside."
