When the patrol soldier heard this, a look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face, and he said: "General, there are twenty of them. I feel that if they are followed privately, once they are discovered, I will not be my opponent."
"So... I came back to report the news first."
He originally thought he would be punished for saying this, but unexpectedly, Zhang Xun and Li Zhufeng both breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Xun even patted him on the shoulder to express his appreciation: "You did a good job!"
"This is a rare and good opportunity. The most important thing now is not to alert the enemy."
"In this case, you can take another twenty scouts with relatively good skills to explore the creek."
"If we can find out where the rebels are camping, we will come back and report immediately."
"If you can't find it, you should return as soon as possible. In short, this general will tell you that you must not be discovered by the rebels!"
"If you do this well, I will give you a hundred taels of gold as promised by this general!"
As soon as these words came out, the patrol soldier's eyes suddenly lit up.
One hundred taels of gold!
This money is enough for him to buy a large house with three entrances and three exits in Qiandu City, marry a wife, have a fat boy, and then live in peace for the rest of his life.
This is a life that he had never dared to imagine before, and now it is right in front of him!
Who wouldn't be excited to change?
"Don't worry, General, I will fulfill my mission!" After saying that, he immediately turned around and left, as if there was wind in his footsteps.
Zhang Xun and Li Zhufeng looked at each other and both became excited.
The soldiers have been anxious for more than half a month and are no longer in a state of complete victory.
But, so what?
They have a total of 25,000 people!
Where is Liu Jing? The only people I can really fight are just over 10,000, and the rest are all wounded!
In addition, Zhang Xun is the number one martial artist in Da Qian. Apart from the King of Zhongshan, he has never failed in any battle in his life.
Can Liu Jing be afraid of Liu Jing, who has suffered repeated defeats?
It can be said that as long as he can find Liu Jing's stationed place, he is sure to annihilate the opponent!
As Zhang Xun and Li Zhufeng waited eagerly, about an hour later, the patrol soldier came back with his men!
"General, we found the enemy's garrison!"
"There is still some distance from here, but it is a dense forest. They are stationed in the dense forest. It is really...unbelievable."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xun couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
On weekdays, when everyone sets up camp, they always look for a flat, open place.
Stationed in a dense forest...how to make a fire to cook? How to sleep?
He really couldn't imagine it!
And if Liu Jing does this, isn't he afraid of the army defecting?
Really... a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers!
No wonder they couldn't find it after searching for half a month.
After all, who in the right mind would think of camping in a dense forest? If a fire breaks out while cooking, the entire army will be wiped out!
When they were looking for it, they didn't even check the dense forest.
Who would have thought that I almost missed it.
This is really a wild goose hunt for half a lifetime, but in the end, the goose almost pecked out the eye.
"Go down with the order, tie up the war horses, equip them with short blades, gather the whole army, and walk to the dense forest! You will lead the way!"
I was speechless, but Zhang Xun would not hesitate at all when making the decision.
After a while, the 25,000-strong army gathered, each of them equipped with a short sword, and even more, they also held a small round shield.
The eyes were flashing with the light of tigers and wolves, and they looked like they were sharpening their knives to attack pigs and sheep.
I've been holding it in for a full half a month, so it's not surprising that I'm in such a state.
Zhang Xun stood on the high platform, overlooking the entire army, and said: "I won't say any more nonsense. Just one sentence, we have discovered the enemy. Now let's set off and annihilate them all!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
A simple sentence, but it completely ignited the army, and for a while, the shouts of killing were loud.
"The whole army attacks!" Zhang Xun shouted, striding at the front of the army.
Half a step behind him was Li Zhufeng, who was also fully armed.
A moment later, in a dense forest, Zhang Xun and others moved forward cautiously.
Although it was still night now, it was already past dawn after struggling for so long, so I could still see clearly with the hazy light on the horizon.
It's hard to tell without seeing it accurately.
Zhang Xun's strategy is to try not to make a sound and sneak attack the opponent while he is still sleeping!
Regardless of whether they calculated mentally or not, they still used more to defeat fewer, and they would definitely win by surprise.
However, after advancing for a while, piles of simple earth stoves suddenly appeared in front of them.
There is no one.
Zhang Xun immediately became alert, and Li Zhufeng even shouted: "The whole army lies down!"
Whoosh!
Sure enough, the next moment, a sharp sound broke through the air.
An arrow almost grazed his scalp!
Li Zhufeng had such reaction ability, but it did not mean that ordinary soldiers also had such reaction ability.
In such a round of indiscriminate shooting, at least hundreds of people died!
Zhang Xun, who was at the front, narrowed his eyes slightly. He had good martial arts skills, and a mere arrow could not hurt him.
Seeing this, he shouted: "Those with shields raise their shields to defend, and those without shields hide behind trees!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the arrow rain suddenly stopped, and instead, bursts of killing cries suddenly came from all directions!
It's the rebels!
It is divided into four routes: east, west, north and south, enough for more than 10,000 people to kill together.
If Zhang Xun didn't know that he had been ambushed by this time, then his reputation as the number one martial artist in Da Gan should be given away.
So he quickly turned around and looked at the patrol soldiers from last night.
But I saw that the patrol soldier was pale and confused at the moment.
It’s over!
The hundred taels of gold are gone! The big house is gone! The mother-in-law and the fat boy are gone too!
It’s already a bit disappointing!
Seeing this, Zhang Xun frowned. If the patrol soldiers did not surrender to the enemy, it meant that Liu Jing had already discovered their marching route, and this time he deliberately set an ambush for them!
In this dense forest, surrounded by people from all sides, it is difficult to escape even if you escape!
For ordinary people, it is tantamount to a dead end!
But Zhang Xun was not panicked. After all, the gap in military strength was there!
Twenty-five thousand against ten thousand, still under Zhang Xun, there is no reason to lose!
As long as the soldiers can withstand the first round of panic, they will find that these ambush soldiers are all paper tigers!
"Don't panic, the entire army will follow my orders!"
"Those with shields stand on the outside, and those without shields rely on trees and short blades to fight back!"
This was his brilliance. Before coming, he made all the soldiers abandon long spears, lances and other weapons that were restricted in the dense forest, and use short blades and small shields instead.
On the other hand, many of the rebels still had long weapons in their hands.
This is also their advantage that cannot be ignored!
Comparing the two, he really didn't know how he could lose!
A moment later, the two armies met, and the shouts of killing were loud!
