Chapter 152 Something's Wrong

at the same time,

Just after Wang Shun led his troops back to reinforce,

The Imperial Guards responsible for surveillance also delivered the message to Han Yilin immediately.

"grown ups."

"Wang Shun has led the main force away from Yiling County and is currently heading to Youxuan County."

Upon hearing the report,

Han Yilin's lips curled up into a triumphant smile.

"They've taken the bait."

If Wang Shun remained in the city

They held the city to the death.

Even if they eventually manage to breach the city walls, they will inevitably pay a heavy price.

But now,

Now that Wang Shun has left the city, he can be manipulated at will.

of course,

After all,

Or is it because Wang Shun is not in his own county?

under these circumstances,

It was impossible to sit idly by and ignore one's own stronghold, which gave Han Yilin a huge opening.

"Keep an eye on him. Report to me immediately if Wang Shun makes any moves."

"yes!"

The Imperial Guards received their orders and departed.

Han Yilin then ordered the army to continue advancing.

only,

Yiling County was still quite a distance from here, so Han Yilin didn't press the matter too hard.

the whole process,

It maintained a normal speed throughout.

Along the way,

If I see an area that can be explored, I'll take the opportunity to raid it and earn some extra money.

These areas,

All of them were chosen at the blue difficulty level.

By using GG's bonus, you can upgrade the treasure chest to purple quality.

In addition,

It should be a troop movement of the Pingtian Army.

Along the way

No outposts or vanguard camps were found, and not even any trace of the Pingtian Army was discovered.

The march went very smoothly.

That night,

Han Yilin chose to set up camp about ten miles away from Yiling County.

The distance isn't far, but it's not close either.

It was basically located at the intersection between two counties, which would prevent it from being discovered by Yiling County, and would not delay the attack on the city tomorrow. However, the county behind it had already fallen to the Pingtian Army.

......

the other side,

Northwest of Youxuan County,

All day long,

Wang Shun hurried along and finally entered the territory of Youxuan County at night.

this way,

He didn't dare to rest at all.

The soldiers behind him were exhausted, and many of them had blisters on their feet.

Even so,

Wang Shun still showed no sign of stopping.

after all,

Youxuan County is his stronghold; once it is captured, all his efforts will be in vain.

at this time,

One of the accompanying military officers rode forward and said, "Sir, the soldiers have been traveling for a whole day and are almost exhausted. The situation ahead is still unknown. If we continue to advance now, we may not be able to exert our full fighting strength if we encounter the enemy."

"Why don't we rest here for the night and send out scouts to find out the enemy's deployment at dawn, and then decide whether to enter the city or fight them?"

This general,

It's about getting up early to play games.

A special talent that Wang Shun drew.

now,

Upon hearing the suggestion, Wang Shun frowned: "But the problem is, there are fewer than two hundred militiamen in the city. What if they are breached tonight?"

this matter,

Throughout the entire day, Wang Shun remained on tenterhooks.

I was afraid I wouldn't make it back in time.

however,

The general shook his head: "Sir, if the enemy really wanted to attack the city, they would have launched an attack during the day with thousands of troops."

"The fact that Youxuan County has not yet fallen indicates that the enemy has no intention of attacking the city for the time being."

"On the contrary, our troops are exhausted and the ranks are scattered. If we rashly approach the county town, the enemy may suddenly come out of the city to attack, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Besides, it's already late at night, and even if there are no ambushes outside the city, it's not a good time to fight the enemy."

This time,

Wang Shun nodded.

That makes sense; it really is true.

Especially when he noticed that many soldiers behind him were panting heavily, and many had collapsed to the ground,

This state,

It's obvious that we can't fight a war.

and,

In military terms,

Although Wang Shun was impulsive, he would still listen to the advice of his generals.

Professional matters should be left to professionals.

Thinking of this,

He could only suppress his impatience.

"it is good."

"We'll camp here tonight."

The order was issued.

The soldiers, who were already exhausted, immediately felt a great sense of relief.

quickly,

A simple camp,

Regenerating in place,

Campfires were lit throughout the camp.

now,

Wang Shun sat in his tent, his eyes fixed on the map interface. The army of more than a thousand men was still eyeing the city from outside.

But at that moment,

During this free time, Wang Shun, who had calmed down, suddenly noticed a problem.

Within his own Youxuan County,

But there were only two hundred militiamen.

Such defensive strength,

It stands to reason,

If the enemy had put in even a little effort to launch an attack, they probably would have taken the city long ago, but they didn't launch a single attack all day.

When traveling,

Wang Shun hadn't thought that far ahead yet.

But now,

His eyes were fixed on the map, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

Something's not right!

"Something's definitely not right..."

A strong sense of unease welled up within Wang Shun, and he suddenly felt as if this army was waiting for him.

He stared intently at the red dots on the map, and the more he looked, the more he felt that this army that had suddenly appeared outside Youxuan County was not there to attack the city at all.

Since the emergence of this army,

They constantly patrolled outside the city, creating the impression that they might launch an attack at any moment.

But unfortunately...

The actual siege operation

Not even once.

This feeling,

It was as if the other side was standing there specifically, waiting for him to lead his main force back.

"Could it be... that their real target isn't Youxuan County?"

The moment this thought arose

Wang Shun's heart skipped a beat.

after all,

Appearing here,
