Chapter 1500: The Soft Rib of a Powerful Opponent

Although Panlongcheng/Yuheng City now appeared very strong, everyone knew that the most powerful nation in the world was Beijia. The Jinchi Nation did not have the courage or confidence to truly refuse Beijia, especially since Beijia's army had already marched into the Jinchi Nation.

Although this army was here to destroy Yuheng City, if the Jinchi Nation didn't listen, it certainly wouldn't mind giving the Jinchi Nation a small lesson.

He Lingchuan could understand the difficulties of the Jinchi Nation, but that didn't mean he wouldn't cause them some trouble.

So, as soon as He Lingchuan turned around, he assigned an important mission to Xin Yi: blow up the transfer warehouse on the front line of the Jinchi Nation! Xiluo was almost poor as a dog, barely scraping together these twenty thousand people to conquer the Maohe Plain, and most of the grain and grass were provided by the Jinchi Nation.

The Jinchi Nation collected grain from within the country and sent it to the transfer warehouse behind the front line for the Xiluo Nation to use.

He Lingchuan set his sights on the transfer warehouse.

You want to remain neutral, but you won't listen? Then I will personally help you cut off the grain!

In fact, it wasn't just the transfer warehouse behind the Xiluo army; He Lingchuan also ordered spies lurking in the Jinchi Nation to burn down several large granaries of the Jinchi Nation at the same time! Of course, the most difficult mission was the transfer warehouse, so He Lingchuan asked Xin Yi to take action personally.

He had doubts about this person's identity, and given Xin Yi's power, he was truly the best candidate to carry out this mission.

Xin Yi had been hovering around He Lingchuan and Wen Daolun, learning both how to govern the army and how to govern the city, busy and enjoying it. He Lingchuan gave him this mission, and Xin Yi didn't hesitate, agreeing in one breath.

He Lingchuan could see that he was also a bit itchy for action.

It's hard for a coward to pretend to have backbone;

It's actually not easy for a capable person to pretend to be incapable.

Xin Yi probably figured this out too, and in some aspects, he no longer hid it. For example, he had sparred with He Lingchuan twice on the drill ground. Although it was friendship first and stopping at the point, He Lingchuan clearly knew that he hadn't used his full strength at all! With He Lingchuan's current level, he could throw Meng Shan out within five moves. But when facing Xin Yi, he still felt that this person was unfathomable, unable to even probe the bottom.

Let everyone make the best use of their talents, and let everything be used to its fullest; he sent Xin Yi to blow up the transfer warehouse, no problem.

If he unfortunately died for the cause, then let it be a major loss for Yuheng City and Lingshan. How can there be no deaths in war? So many good men in Yuheng City and Panlongcheng had shed blood on the borders, why couldn't people from Lingshan shed a few drops of noble blood? Xin Yi didn't seem to feel the danger in it and talked excitedly about the process of blowing up the transfer warehouse.

Unlike the inherent impression of ordinary people, a granary is not just a large warehouse standing on the ground. The transfer warehouse covered a large area, with a total of seven granaries, each separated by more than fifteen zhang, which was for the safety needs of fire prevention, theft prevention, flood prevention, and moisture prevention.

Therefore, if Xin Yi wanted to destroy the enemy's grain and grass to the greatest extent, he had to blow up as many granaries as possible in a short time.

He blew up five in total.

This was truly not easy, and he ignited true fire, which was not as easy to extinguish as ordinary fire.

Of the other two that were not bombed, one was right next to the main tent, so it was inconvenient for him to take action; the other was empty inside, with no grain at all.

So, after Xin Yi took such a trip to the opposite bank, the Xiluo army only had one granary of grain and grass left.

Seeing Xin Yi, everyone in the military camp was full of praise. Xin Yi, while happy, also asked He Lingchuan: "It was just blowing up a few granaries, does it have such a big effect?"

"Yes, it has a huge effect!" He Lingchuan said solemnly, "Mr. Xin, do you know why I asked you to take action at this time?"

Xin Yi was consistently humble: "I would like to hear the details."

"The Beijia army has arrived in the Jinchi Nation and will arrive here within two days. According to reports from scouts, the number of troops is approximately between thirteen thousand and sixteen thousand." He Lingchuan said solemnly, "The speed of Beijia's troop deployment is faster than we expected."

"So?"

"It marches so fast, which means its supplies are very light."

Xin Yi said "Oh": "It brought very little grain and grass?"

"The journey from Beijia to the front line of the Jinchi Nation is long, and this troop was sent here in advance, so the march was a bit rushed." Beijia's original tactic was probably to use the Xiluo army to harass Yuheng City, and once the northern front of Panlongcheng started fighting, they would send the Beijia army mixed with the Xiluo army to invade the Maohe Plain together.

But He Lingchuan led the Tiger Wing Army to Yuheng City and beat the Xiluo army miserably, almost causing them to collapse. Plans couldn't keep up with changes, and Beijia had to send its own army in advance to stabilize the situation.

"There is a reason why Beijia didn't send it here earlier." He Lingchuan smiled and said two words: "Grain."

He was the commander leading the troops, not only having to worry about victory or defeat but also having to worry about the food and drink of ten thousand people, so he was particularly sensitive to logistics supply.

"Oh?" Xin Yi thought for a moment, "Oh—!"

He was naturally intelligent and quickly grasped the trick: "It seems that General He is going to make a fuss about this later."

"Mr. Xin draws inferences about other cases from one instance." This fellow was truly not an ordinary person.

"But in this way, Beijia's pressure will first fall on Yuheng City and the Ximo Army." This seemed a bit different from Xin Yi's initial understanding.

Shouldn't the main battlefield be on the northwestern front of Panlongcheng? Who would be so suicidal as to first go and stroke the tiger's whiskers of Beijia? "It's better than falling on General Hong and Commander Zhong." He Lingchuan said solemnly, "They have already borne too much!"

Xin Yi looked at him, slightly moved.

To dare to shoulder such a heavy responsibility alone, Panlongcheng actually had such a young and fierce general!

The two walked silently, looking across the water at the opposite bank. The chaos that Xin Yi and the others had just caused had already been covered by the thick night.

But He Lingchuan always felt that there were people on the opposite bank silently observing here and evaluating here.

Xin Yi suddenly said: "When I set fire to the transfer warehouse, before I left, I saw the Xiluo army arrive, surrounding a young girl. She commanded calmly and even derived a divine ability. At her age, having such cultivation is very remarkable."

The young girl who appeared in the army could only be Lu Wushuang.

Qingyang at this time was less than thirty years old.

"You actually saw her! That should be the new military supervisor, and she will also be our opponent next." He Lingchuan smiled, "Find a way to kill her, and this front line will be much easier to fight."

Xin Yi wondered: "Why? She is just a military supervisor of the Xiluo army."

And not of the Beijia army.

He Lingchuan could only be vague: "I always feel that this woman is extraordinary."

He couldn't say that she would grow up to be a generation of State Preceptor in the future and also participated in the destruction of Panlongcheng.

Xin Yi said "Ah": "If I had known this earlier, I would have tried to slaughter her just now."

This guy's tone was not small, He Lingchuan glanced at him: "I think you will see her again soon, so don't hold back when the time comes."
