Chapter 1442: Testing the waters

If the Between Beijia army were mixed into the Western Luo army and suddenly gave Yuheng City such a blow, could the latter bear it?

This is the fundamental reason why Zhong Sheng sent He He Lingchuan to sit in Yuheng City—to defend the Panlong eastern line and guard against Between Beijia's attack! General Hong and the main force of Panlongcheng will soon launch a fierce attack from the northern line. Once Xianyou asks Between Beijia for help, the latter may exert pressure on Yuheng City on the eastern line to force Panlongcheng to divide its troops to support Yuheng City, thereby reducing the pressure on Xianyou.

So one of the difficulties in Yuheng City right now is to cut off the frequent harassment of Western Luo.

These are all open cards, and both sides are very clear.

"The Western Luo army is stationed in the Jin Xi Nation, usually harassing Yuheng City and the Longchuan trade route, and shrinking back to the Jin Xi Nation when encountering war." Wen Daolun said solemnly, "Although Yuheng City repelled them three times, I can clearly feel that the Western Luo army's attacks are becoming more and more proficient, and the last time there was some chapter and method."

He He Lingchuan felt surprised at first, but then thought, "Could it be Between Beijia playing tricks?"

"General He is amazing." This is not a guess, Wen Daolun gave him a thumbs up. "Both the army and officials of the Jin Xi Nation have our people. According to their report, the Western Luo Nation army stationed in their country is receiving training from Between Beijia generals, and many monsters have appeared in the army. In addition—"

He paused. "In the Western Luo army, there are also supervisors sent by Between Beijia. These days they are rectifying military discipline and have cut off many heads."

"This is planning to use them as cannon fodder on the battlefield." He He Lingchuan frowned. "What about the number of Western Luo troops?"

"More than 20,000. It is said that they are still increasing troops." Wen Daolun shook his head. "The total number of troops in the Western Luo Nation is less than 70,000, and they have already invested 20,000 or 30,000 here."

He He Lingchuan laughed. "The combat will of the Western Luo Nation army is not strong. Now that there are Between Beijia supervisors behind them, they can barely cheer up to harass the Longchuan trade route. Wait for me to use some means to scare them."

What level the Western Luo Nation army is, He He Lingchuan has not really dealt with, but Wen Daolun and Zhong Sheng have deep experience. It depends on whether Between Beijia can help this lump of mud onto the wall.

Wen Daolun also wanted to know, "What does General He plan to do?"

"I am not as kind as Master Wen, and I have just returned to Yuheng City, so I am afraid I have to kill some Western Luo people to sacrifice to heaven." He He Lingchuan naturally wants to aim at the weaknesses of the Western Luo army. "Master Wen will not object, right?"

It is worthy of being Butcher He, waving the butcher knife again as soon as he arrives at the Maohe Plain. Wen Daolun shook his head without hesitation. "General He, just let go and do it, I will definitely cooperate fully."

He is a Western Luo person, and his heart is mixed when fighting against the Western Luo army. But right now, he has already weighed the pros and cons in his heart. Panlongcheng is once again facing life and death, and he will not be constrained by that little sentiment.

Western Luo is no longer the Western Luo of the past, and they have long been Panlongcheng people.

"Good." He He Lingchuan said happily. "We must also put pressure on the Jin Xi Nation, don't let the Western Luo army and Between Beijia people live too comfortably there."

At this time, the two have returned to the government office. The office is brightly lit, and personnel are still working at their posts.

The sound of flapping wings came from the night sky, and birds flew by. Wen Daolun pointed to the sky. "There have been some strange bird monsters over Yuheng City recently. It is estimated that they were sent by Between Beijia to scout."

Bird monsters are natural scouts. Between Beijia is called the Northern Demon Nation, and of course it is not short of monsters.

Any national force that is an enemy of it will suffer this loss innately.

He He Lingchuan pulled Wen Daolun to the hidden side garden, first placed a barrier, and then whispered, "Master Wen, please keep an eye on this person Xin Yi for me."

Wen Daolun was surprised. "Is there a problem with this person?"

"Enthusiastic, humble, curious, and loves to deal with people."

"..." Can these be considered faults? "But I always feel that this person has another background, and his purpose is impure." He He Lingchuan whispered, "If I am not mistaken, he will also be very interested in Yuheng City's internal governance and economic and trade exchanges. But once it comes to fighting, I have no time to pay attention to him."

Wen Daolun nodded. "I will send someone to watch him."

"Don't use spies, this person has high cultivation, and it will be bad if he finds out."

"If secret sentries won't work, then watch him openly." Wen Daolun thought for a while. "Send him a few clever attendants or guides?"

He He Lingchuan snapped his fingers. "Master Wen's method is good, why didn't I think of it? Just send Skinny to his side."

Skinny is slick, and his mouth is like being smeared with oil when he speaks. Sending him to Xin Yi is just right.

After setting this small matter in a few words, Wen Daolun asked again, "In General He's opinion, when will Between Beijia have real action against Yuheng City?"

"Naturally, when Panlongcheng launches a fierce attack in the north." He He Lingchuan had already calculated it. "Before that, most of our side is small fights. No matter how outrageous I do, Between Beijia can only endure!"

The army in the local area must, of course, obey the overall strategic layout.

Both laughed.

He He Lingchuan continued, "This window period is very short. We must seize the opportunity to give Western Luo and Between Beijia some color. I think this is also the reason why Commander Zhong sent me here in advance."

In the following time, except for the first day of stationing and settling down and getting familiar with the environment, the West Mo Army was dismantled by He He Lingchuan and sent to the border and the Longchuan trade route.

He knew these two places so well that he could walk with his eyes closed, and he knew very well where it was suitable for ambush and where to place a retreat.

It was just to catch the Western Luo army by surprise.

Three days after the West Mo Army arrived in Yuheng City, the Western Luo army really came to harass again. This time, they learned the lessons of the previous few times, mainly focusing on concealment, dispersion, and small-scale surprise attacks.

Unfortunately, they met He He Lingchuan.

On this piece of land in the Maohe Plain, He He Lingchuan could hang them up and beat them.

In just two days, the West Mo Army defeated four raiding teams and captured more than 200 people alive.

Wen Daolun had captured Western Luo Nation prisoners before, and they were all sent to mines and farms as coolies; He He Lingchuan was not so kind, and sent people to push the prisoners directly to the border line.

There is a river on the border between Yuheng City and the Jin Xi Nation. Back then, after General Hong took Yuheng City, she could scare the Jin Xi army on the opposite side just by standing by the river.

Now that Panlongcheng is pressing the border again, the opposite side is, of course, facing a great enemy and gathering quickly.

Today the sky is clear, and the two armies are looking at each other across the river, and even the red tassels on the spearheads of the enemies on the opposite bank can be seen clearly.

He He Lingchuan stood at the very front, letting the enemies on the opposite bank see clearly, and then gave an order, and 200 heads fell to the ground! In an instant, the river was dyed red.

The opposite bank was immediately restless, and even the horses were uneasy and kicking their hooves.

He He Lingchuan also ordered people to insert the severed heads on poles and line them up along the river, must let the Western Luo army enjoy it well.

But although the opposite side scolded loudly, they didn't fight over.

So He He Lingchuan requested that the heads be hung for three days.
