Chapter 1711: With the Steel Spear in Hand Today, We Shall Surely Scatter the Lives of the Enemy Invaders

Now that there is the cavalry of the Holy Cross Army, everything will become different.

He looked at the map and asked the shivering Chief of Staff in a deep voice.

"Has the supply line of the Holy Cross Army been found?"

The Chief of Staff sneezed and said: "Reporting to the General, the supply lines of the Holy Cross Army have been grasped. They have two most important supply lines, one of which leads to Hamburg, but Britain has now cut off their maritime transport routes, so this route is not to be feared."

"The other one is located on the North German Plain." The Chief of Staff drew the route on the map and said: "The Holy Cross Army's supply line transports through there to the troops."

"And our current position is in the Central German Highlands."

After hearing these reports, Ling Chen nodded. He looked at Diana standing to the side and asked: "Diana, is there a route that allows us to pass through quickly?"

Diana thought for a while and said: "If it's a main road, there are only these three routes leading to the North German Plain."

"Now these three are all under the control of the Holy Cross Army."

Ling Chen said again: "I don't need a main road, a small path will do, as long as horses can walk on it."

After hearing this, Diana thought for a long time and said: "There is indeed another route that can lead from here to the other side of the North German Plain, but it is winter now, and it might be a bit difficult for cavalry to travel together. This route must bypass the mountains, and the road is surely slippery at this time."

"It is difficult for people to pass, let alone horses."

After listening, the Chief of Staff laughed loudly, and a smile also appeared on the corner of Ling Chen's mouth.

Diana, however, looked at the expressions of these two people with confusion and frowned: "Why, is what I said wrong?"

"Chief of Staff, tell me, why are you laughing at me?"

The Chief of Staff glanced at Ling Chen, then looked at Diana and said: "It is better to let the General explain this to you."

Diana looked at Ling Chen in confusion.

Ling Chen smiled: "This matter is actually very simple. You probably don't know what kind of combat experience our Longyan Army cavalry has had."

"You only need to tell them how to take this route."

Diana glanced at Ling Chen, somewhat disbelieving; she had never witnessed the demeanor of the Longyan Cavalry.

However, Diana still said: "Alright, I will draw the route and tell them, but this route needs to pass through the mountains. Under the current circumstances, it might be very difficult for the cavalry to pass."

"General, you must think it over."

Ling Chen waved his hand and said: "No matter, just point out the way."

Diana marked the route of this small path on a zoomed-in map and handed it to Ling Chen. Ling Chen opened it, took a look, and nodded faintly.

With such a route, the cavalry unit established by their Longyan Army would definitely be able to raid the supply line of the Holy Cross Army in the shortest time and at the fastest speed.

"Chief of Staff, pass the order: select thirty expert horsemen to raid the supply line of the Holy Cross Army. Once their raid succeeds, we will immediately launch an attack!"

The Chief of Staff's expression immediately became serious and he said: "Yes!"

The Chief of Staff turned and went out, arriving at the barracks to select thirty cavalrymen.

Although Ling Chen did not bring the war horses of the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry when he set out on the expedition, it did not mean he had not brought cavalry. Ling Chen's original intention was to seize the enemy's war horses and use them for his own purposes.

Moreover, when the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry was fighting in Tsarist Russia, they also faced extremely cold lands, and marching on the battlefield was also very difficult.

For them, crossing hills was simply the easiest of conditions.

Soon, the Chief of Staff gathered thirty Longyan Cavalrymen.

At this moment, they held Long Spears in their hands and carried Long Bows on their backs, already standing in battle array.

Ling Chen saw these Longyan soldiers and nodded with satisfaction, shouting in a deep voice: "Bring the wine!"

Other Longyan soldiers poured full bowls of wine, and Ling Chen's sharp

gaze swept across every one of their faces.

Every Longyan cavalryman was filled with killing intent!

Ling Chen said in a deep voice: "Very good, I appreciate the look in your eyes right now."

"However, I hope you don't just have this look now. Do not let fear or cowardice appear in your eyes after I finish explaining the mission!"

"If anyone does not want to participate in this mission, you can withdraw now. I, Ling Chen, will absolutely not blame you!"

"I will count to three. After three, the remaining people stay. If anyone flees, the crime shall be punishable by death!"

Ling Chen looked at each of them and shouted coldly: "One!"

The thirty Longyan soldiers remained unmoved, their eyes unwavering.

Ling Chen stared at them with extreme sharpness, killing intent surging from his gaze. Ling Chen shouted in a deep voice: "Two!"

The crowd remained unmoved, and the Chief of Staff watched the soldiers he had selected with a stoic expression.

Ling Chen's gaze, like a blade, finally swept over everyone's eyes. These thirty people confronted the legend of the Longyan Army, the legendary God of Killing, without the slightest sign of fear.

They remained even more unmoved.

Ling Chen gathered all the strength in his chest, transforming it into fierce killing intent, and it erupted like a landslide: "Three!"

The crowd remained the same, their expressions as firm as rock, like a spear standing proudly in the world, unmoved.

A thin layer of sweat appeared on the Chief of Staff's forehead, and he looked at the Longyan soldiers he had selected; not one of them flinched.

Ling Chen cast an appreciative look and smiled: "You are very good. In this mission, it is destined that some of you will not return."

"It is even possible that your entire army will be ambushed."

"Soldiers, are you ready?" Ling Chen asked.

The crowd stared at Ling Chen and said in a deep voice: "With the steel spear in hand today, we shall surely scatter the lives of the enemy invaders!"

This was the slogan of the Longyan Army; a single slogan was enough to show how firm their determination was.

Ling Chen nodded. These were the Warriors of the Longyan Army. Everyone said he was heartless, but no one understood why this decisive and murderous general still had so many people following him.

He could send a unit of the Longyan Army to their deaths for the sake of war, but that was just Ling Chen in the eyes of those so-called pure-hearted scholars.

They did not understand the cruelty of war.

And they did not know the pain of personally announcing the sacrifice of these soldiers who had fought side-by-side with him.

Ling Chen took a breath and said slowly and deeply: "I order you to go deep behind enemy lines, cut off the enemy's supply line, and reduce the pressure on the front-line operations."

"Understood!"

The crowd shouted in unison, their voices like a thunderclap.

Ling Chen raised the bowl of wine in his hand and shouted, "Drain this bowl of Yinzhou Drunk; heroes should naturally drink fine wine!"

Ling Chen drank it all in one gulp, and with a bang, the large bowl shattered.

The soldiers did the same; the fiery liquor entered their throats, an indescribable pleasure. They set off on their steeds, thirty men departing to sweep away the enemy invaders!

Seeing this scene, Diana was moved by the emotion, yet she felt an indescribable sensation. She whispered to the Chief of Staff, "What is the General doing?"

The Chief of Staff replied, "He is performing a farewell ritual."

Diana did not understand; she did not know the meaning of those two words. Immediately after, she heard a sound from the horizon.

"With steel spears in hand today, we shall surely scatter the lives of the enemy invaders!"
