"The priest is well-informed." Diana praised.
The priest said very humbly: "Little things, little things."
Diana smiled softly and looked at General Ling Chen. Although Ling Chen didn't tell her anything during the days following the Long Yan Army, he could infer it based on his observations over the past few days.
She also had a general understanding that Long Yanjun might be running out of food and grass.
Now that we have the news about Austrian food and grass, it should be able to alleviate the urgent needs of the Long Yan Army.
She looked at General Ling Chen. This general who usually didn't show much expression was actually breathing heavily at this moment!
General Ling Chen's eyes flashed with heat!
Food and grass, just use the pillow when you really want to sleep.
I didn’t expect the food and grass to come like this.
"Father, how did you know about Austria's grain and grass news?" Ling Chen asked.
Although he was excited, he did not believe blindly.
The matter of food and grass is no small matter, especially now. It is impossible for Austria not to know about the food and grass problem of Long Yan Army.
Now the Protestant godfather who was saved by chance will tell you about the news about food and grass here.
Although it was a coincidence, Ling Chen didn't believe in the existence of coincidences without reason.
Ling Chen looked at the priest calmly, as if his sharp eyes could see through everything about him.
The priest straightened his expression and watched the expression of the general from Long Yan change again and again. He also realized how important the news of food and grass he had just spoken was.
"As for the news about Austrian military rations, we actually happened to know that the Alps are connected to the Vienna Basin and connect many Austrian cities."
"The mountains here are connected with the mountains, so there are roads. When we fled here, we happened to find the Austrian army transporting grain and grass from here along a very secret path."
"Regular shipping."
After hearing this, Ling Chen frowned.
He didn't hear anything wrong in the priest's words. It seemed like a very simple coincidence.
His decision to divide his troops into two groups was also an impromptu decision, and it was impossible for the Austrians to guess it.
unless……
Ling Chen looked at the priest and Diana and asked in a deep voice: "There are not many Protestants in Austria. Most of them believe in Catholicism. Now the Catholic Church has issued an order to hunt down heretics."
"How did you escape here?"
The priest and Diana looked bitter: "Originally, we were all Austrian rebels, launching a holy war against the Catholic Church, but you know that our numbers are small and our equipment is not well-equipped."
"So once the war started, our rebel army was quickly defeated."
"Many people have returned to the embrace of the Lord on the road. We, the believers, were the only ones left out of the original 10,000 people."
"We were chased here by the Catholic army."
Ling Chen didn't say anything after listening.
There was silence in the cave, and the three people fell into silence.
In the end, less than 200 people from a team of 10,000 people survived.
No one knows how many unrecordable things happened.
There is no such thing as death in war.
Ling Chen patted the priest on the shoulder, looked at Diana, and said, "I will take you here immediately."
The priest and Diana raised their heads and looked at Ling Chen's expressionless face, but they felt the firmness in his tone.
Inexplicably reassuring.
It's as if this man's ability to do such a thing is as simple as saying these words, giving people a sense of security.
Diana nodded heavily.
Ling Chen looked at the priest again: "Father, I need your help. I need you to take me to the path you mentioned tonight."
The priest agreed.
Ling Chen came out of the cave. It was sunny after the rain. Although it was gloomy, he could still see things clearly. He went to the camp outside and summoned the captain responsible for arranging the Longyan Army.
"General, please give instructions!"
Ling Chen looked at the captain who was as tall as a pine tree, nodded, and asked, "Have you checked out the terrain around here?"
"Report to General, we have mapped the weak points, commanding heights, and terrain of this area. General, please take a look."
After that, the captain handed over a topographic map of the valley.
Ling Chen opened it and took a look. The terrain map was very detailed, even though it was in a valley.
But there are not many commanding heights that can form conditions for assault.
But the jungle here is the most dangerous. If the enemy launches a surprise attack from the jungle, it will be difficult to defend.
After Ling Chen looked carefully, he suddenly remembered something.
"Send people into the natural cave to explore the terrain inside. I don't want the enemy to attack us from behind!"
"Yes, General!" The captain said in awe of Ling Chen.
The situation inside the cave was automatically ignored by him. Generally speaking, caves in mountains do not have penetrations.
But there are no absolutes.
No one knows what is going on inside the cave and whether there is a secret passage.
As for those Protestants, there are less than 200 people left. It is unrealistic to count on them.
At this moment they were beaten to pieces.
Hope time can heal all wounds.
It is impossible for them to continue fighting.
"Pay attention to protection. This jungle is indeed dangerous. You need to cut down part of it to leave a view and a buffer zone."
The captain nodded, but was a little confused. They were only staying here for one night, so they must be so cautious.
As long as enough hidden stakes are arranged in the jungle, the crisis on the jungle side can be solved.
Even if there is a sneak attack, they can retreat in time.
If you want to clear out an empty area, it will take too long to waste energy and world.
"Captain, do you have any questions?"
The captain nodded and immediately asked: "I don't understand why the general is so cautious in this place."
"We're only here for one night after all!"
Ling Chen looked at him and said in a deep voice: "Because this may be a trap."
The captain was stunned. Trap?
When he led the inspection just now, he found nothing, let alone the Austrian army, except for these Protestants.
There are no other traces at all.
How could it be a trap.
"General, this..."
Ling Chen took a long breath, looked in the direction of the natural cave, and said, "This trap is to induce us to protect these Protestant believers."
"Now we're in the trap."
"But, now we don't have any traces of an ambush, we can leave." The captain responded.
Ling Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head. The Austrian army had spent a lot of effort to let him step into his trap.
Now that you are in a trap, if you act rashly, the Austrian army will definitely launch military operations faster.
The Austrian attack will not come too late, and in order to prevent the Longyan Army from falling into trap, they have also prepared a bombshell news.
Food and grass are what Long Yan's army is most in need of right now.
Regardless of whether this news is true or false, Long Yanjun will take risks and take risks for the sake of food and grass.
