"Your Majesty, I have something to report for my humble position."

Just when Zhang Chengxu was about to express his determination in front of Wang Lin again, a voice sounded from outside the camp.

Everyone was stunned. If there was no urgent matter in the large tent, no one would dare to interrupt them. Besides, this person's voice didn't sound very familiar. He probably wasn't a messenger sent to deliver messages on weekdays, or even a member of the military.

However, in this heavily guarded Daxia military formation, if not the soldiers of Daxia, who would it be?

While everyone was still confused, Wang Lin had already responded.

"come in."

After saying this, the various thoughts that everyone had just had in their minds finally had a response.

I saw a guard wearing a flying fish uniform and an embroidered spring knife at his waist. With Wang Lin's permission, he generously opened the curtain of the tent and took two steps forward to kneel in front of Wang Lin.

Then, with Wang Lin's permission, Jin Yiwei walked to Wang Lin's side and whispered a few words to Wang Lin.

After hearing Jin Yiwei's words, Wang Lin's eyes were immediately covered by a thick layer of haze.

"I know, please go down."

Seeing Wang Lin's eyes darken and become terrifying, everyone here knew that the news sent by Jin Yiwei this time was probably not good news.

Sure enough, when the Jin Yiwei walked out of the tent, Wang Lin said: "Now there is another large army attacking my camp. General Dai, how do you think we should respond?"

After everyone heard this, a look of shock appeared on their faces.

This is no wonder for them. After all, in the military camp, military reports come first. But now Wang Lin did not rely on the military's intelligence system, but relied on the Jin Yiwei to instantly know the military situation in the army. No wonder everyone looked so surprised.

It was only now that they had a little understanding of what Jin Yiwei was doing.

This was also because this was today's urgent report, and because Wang Lin was actively sharing it with them in the camp, they knew that Jinyiwei's intelligence system had become so powerful.

A prince who can control the life and death of anyone in the empire, coupled with all-pervasive ears and eyes.

The combination of the two is enough to frighten anyone in the world.

It is precisely because of this that both Dai Tianye and Zhang Chengxu present have a little more respect and fear for Wang Lin in front of them.

Dai Tianye was shocked for a long time before he recovered from the shock Wang Lin brought to him. He cupped his hands to Wang Lin in front of him:

"The general is incompetent, and he doesn't even know how many people there are on his side."

"But if we follow the general's humble opinion, we can still use a large formation with eight golden locks to face the enemy."

"The last time it was used against the enemy, this formation almost wiped out the entire enemy army. If it can be used again today, no matter how many barbarians come, they will never come back!"

After listening to Dai Tianye's words, Zhang Chengxu and others also had smiles on their faces.

Especially Zhang Chengxu, who commanded his squad of 100 people to kill the enemy bravely in the military formation last time. Relying on the power of the Eight-door Golden Lock Formation, it was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables for them to annihilate the enemy.

The most brave man in the army beheaded six enemy heads.

This is a great victory for a record of this scale.

The function and efficacy of the eight-door golden lock can be seen clearly.

However, after listening to Dai Tianye's speech, Wang Lin's face didn't look happy at all.

He looked into the distance and spoke slowly.

"The enemy general this time is Chi Lun, a strong general among the barbarians. And this time, the opponent has a siege vehicle as a response. If the intelligence is true, I am afraid that the military formation will be unsustainable in the face of the catapult."

After hearing Wang Lin's words, Dai Tianye's expression suddenly condensed.

Although the Hu people are brave, they are not good at attacking cities. This is almost an iron rule in everyone's hearts at the moment.

But the people of Daxia know this, the people of other tribes know it, and the Hu people themselves naturally know it well.

Therefore, on their way south, the Hu people finally launched a secret artifact-the catapult.

Different from the catapults that usually appear on the battlefield, this catapult has been improved, has a longer range, and is more accurate. What's more important is that the catapult throws not only stones, but also specially forged projectiles filled with countless gunpowder.

As long as it is smashed against the city wall through a catapult, all the advantages of Daxia that originally had the advantage of the city wall will be gone.

At that time, the barbarian's cavalry will instantly kill the person in front of the person without any precautions.

When the time comes, not to mention the city's defenders, even the people in the city will instantly lose the intention to fight again after seeing this scene that is like a punishment from heaven.

Thinking of this, Dai Tian Zhi had a vague feeling of uneasiness: "If they had such large-scale equipment, would they obediently attack our military camp? In this case, wouldn't it be overkill?"

Just halfway through saying this, Daitian Zhizi already had the answer.

That is a cruel, but more realistic answer.

Wang Lin looked at the look in Dai Tianye's eyes and knew that he had already guessed 70-80%, so he said the correct answer himself: "Yes, these barbarians are not trying to attack our camp."

"Their target is Luqiu City!"

This time Wang Lin led the team heading north to defend against the enemy, which numbered tens of thousands of people.

With such a huge army and the fact that Luqiu City is only a small city, the military camp would definitely not be placed in the city on weekdays. Instead, they chose several locations about ten miles away from Luqiu City, forming a close relationship with the location of Luqiu City.

If the enemy is preparing to attack the city, they must deploy early.

"May I ask, Your Majesty, how far is the Hu army from here?" Dai Tianye looked at Wang Lin and asked.

"There are still about two days' journey. Therefore, there are still two days left, which is enough for us to discuss strategy and deployment."

At this time, although Dai Tianye breathed a sigh of relief, he also frowned and fell into deep thought.

Two days is neither long nor short.

If the ordinary Hu army came this time with a large number of people, Dai Tianye would not be under any pressure.

However, the opponent possesses a trebuchet that has been said to be magical on the battlefield in recent times, which makes Dai Tianye feel a little tricky.

After all, I haven't seen this thing yet. I only know that he helped the Hu people conquer three cities in Daxia.

The current Huren should be losing consecutively, and now they are going to show off their real skills.

Just when everyone was thinking hard, Wang Lin's words caught everyone's attention.

"If you don't have any ideas yet, I have a suggestion here."
