Chapter 160 Action Group

Liao Xingwen simply ignored the gyroman's provocation and ordered the battlefield to be cleaned.

But what surprised him was that Liang Jingwu led an army of 50,000 people out of the border.

This scene shocked Liao Xingwen!

Beilinguan is Daxuan's most important line of defense, so the army will not get out easily.

In other words, once the situation is critical and the Tuoluo Kingdom's army presses the border, even if the people outside the city are sacrificed, Beilinguan cannot be depleted of troops.

Liang Jingwu brought almost all the soldiers from Beilinguan.

"General, what are you doing?"

Liang Jingwu did not explain much, but directly ordered the army to press forward for hundreds of miles.

The more than 800 people in Tuoluo Kingdom, seeing the black mass of Daxuan soldiers, did not have the courage to provoke them, so they fled in embarrassment.

Liang Jingwu sneered.

The army pressed forward for ten miles and then stationed on the spot.

Liang Jingwu moved a chair, leaned on his sword, and looked into the distance.

Liao Xingwen couldn't help but wonder, "General, this is a small group of cavalry, why do we need to mobilize a large army?"

Liang Jingwu said solemnly: "Who told you it was just a small group of cavalry?"

With that said, he handed a bloody note to Liao Xingwen.

"This is what the scout risked his life to pass back. Take a look."

When Liao Xingwen opened it, his expression suddenly changed.

"The Royal Court of Beidu dispatched an army of 40,000 troops, approaching Beilin Pass? This...how is this possible? The Royal Court of Beidu has clearly transferred an army of 30,000 troops, and the troops are insufficient. How can there be so many people?"

Liang Jingwu said coldly: "The Royal Court of Beidu transferred 30,000 troops. It is completely fake. It is just for us to see...the purpose is to paralyze us."

"Have you seen those hills and ravines in the distance? Maybe the Tuoluo Kingdom's army is hiding behind them."

"The cavalry just kept provoking you, and their purpose was to lure you deeper... Once you chase them, you will never come back."

"But this trap was probably set for me. I guess they didn't expect that you would be leading the troops this time."

Liao Xingwen was shocked.

"The general really has a clever plan. If it hadn't been for your instructions, I would have fallen into the trap."

Liang Jingwu waved his hand and said, "It's not me, it's Ning Chen... As far as the current situation is concerned, everything is pretty much what he expected."

"he?"

Liao Xingwen was stunned.

Liang Jingwu smiled and said: "Are you shocked? I was also shocked when I heard his speculation."

"But he said, make bold assumptions and be careful to verify... Anyway, if you guess wrong, there will be no loss to us."

"General Chen is right. Ning Chen is a talented general... He has qualities that others don't have, that is, he is bold and careful, dares to think, and dares to do."

"To be honest, I kind of admire this guy... There are some things that we only dare to think about, but he doesn't hesitate and takes action directly. This guy is a man of action."

Liao Xingwen looked around, "Why don't you see General Ning? It seems like you haven't seen him since last night."

Liang Jingwu smiled and did not answer.

"General, does the scout have any other news?"

The smile on Liang Jingwu's face faded, and he said solemnly: "I'm afraid all our scouts will be eliminated."

Liao Xingwen's eyes darkened, but he quickly cheered up and said, "General, I will personally lead people to conduct reconnaissance ahead."

Liang Jingwu waved his hand, "No need, they like to hide, so just hide... Now is not a good time to take action."

He wanted to buy time for Ning Chen.

If Tuoluo Kingdom's army was dispersed and fled back to the royal court of Beidu, they might encounter Ning Chen and others.

Ning Chen and others walked forward on foot. The cavalry of Tuoluo Kingdom was very fast.

The reason why they went on foot was because they only had a thousand people, and there was no baggage camp to transport food and grass. They were covered in heavy snow and lacked food and grass. The horses would starve to death halfway through the journey.

Therefore, he must delay for time... on the premise of ensuring the safety of the people outside the customs, at least for a few days.

What he is most worried about now is that the Tuoluo Kingdom army is unwilling to let him delay.

These people traveled a long distance, were exhausted, lacked food and clothing... I was afraid that they could not help but take the initiative.

...

Here, Ning Chen and others stopped to rest.

Ning Chen took a bite of the hard dried meat, grabbed a handful of snow, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it.

There is no way, in this world of ice and snow, it would be nice to eat some.

Also, they can't make a fire.

Making a fire in this open place can easily be discovered by the enemy.

He could make a smokeless stove, but it would be a waste of time. They were marching in a hurry, not for an outing, and the soldiers did not have enough time to rest.

Although the scouts continued to report that the front was safe... Ning Chen did not dare to be careless at all.

He pulled up the snow on the ground, dug out some grass roots with a knife, and chewed them in his mouth.

Feng Qi came over and asked, "Is it delicious?"

Ning Chen nodded, "It's sweet and can also supplement vitamins. You can take one too."

Feng Qizheng took one, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and then his face wrinkled.

"Bah..." He spat out everything in his mouth.

Others couldn't help laughing... It's so silly and cute. Can grass roots be delicious?

However, everyone couldn't help but be filled with admiration as they watched Ning Chen put each strand into his mouth.

Yuan Long couldn't help but said: "General Ning, you look fair and clean, but your drive to endure hardships really doesn't look like a pampered young man."

Ning Chen couldn't help but glance at him, "Who told you that I am a pampered young man? You may not have suffered the hardships I have endured."

He shook the grass root in his hand, "I have eaten things that taste worse than this... Don't underestimate this grass root, it can fill your stomach and keep you alive."

At this time, the scout came to report that a large number of horse hoof prints were found ahead.

Everyone immediately became alert.

"Have you found the enemy?"

The scout shook his head.

Ning Chen immediately said: "Brother Qi, pass the order down, everyone lie down, and don't make any noise."

"Lao Pan, Lao Feng... You two follow me."

Ning Chen looked at the scout, "Lead the way."

Led by the scout, Ning Chen and others moved forward.

After walking about one kilometer, a black sky road appeared on the white snow, just like a stroke drawn on a piece of white paper.

Ning Chen and his men went forward to check.

Pan Yucheng said: "Looking at the traces, there are quite a few people."

Ning Chen observed the horseshoe prints on the ground, "The horseshoe prints are frozen, which means that this group of people has been there for some time... This road is so wide and deeply trampled. It would take tens of thousands of people to create this effect, right?"

Pan Yucheng nodded.

Ning Chen looked at the scout, "Based on your experience, how many people can create such an effect?"

The scout thought for a while and said, "General, based on my experience, at least 30,000 to 40,000 people."

Ning Chen smiled widely and couldn't help laughing.

"Look at these horseshoe prints, they are heading towards Beilin Pass. I bet right, hahaha..."

Pan Yucheng said: "You mean, the army of the Beidu Royal Court really went to Beilin Pass?"

Ning Chen nodded.

Feng Qizheng said excitedly: "So, the Beidu Royal Court is now short of troops and weak in defense?"

Ning Chen nodded again.

Feng Qi was jumping for joy, "Great... Kill through the Beidu Royal Court and capture Zuo Ting King alive."

Ning Chen looked at the scout, "Pass my order, keep moving forward."
