Chapter 1860: Today with the Long Spear in Hand, We Shall Surely Scatter the Enemy's Life!

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, we have already grasped the supply lines of the Holy Cross Army. 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 uses that to transport to their troops."

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

Upon 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 moment and said, "If you mean main roads, there are only these three routes leading to the North German Plain."

"Currently, all three are under the control of the Holy Cross Army."

Ling Chen said again, "I don't need main roads, small paths will do, as long as horses can travel on them."

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

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

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

Diana, however, looked at the expressions of these two people with a puzzled face and frowned, "Why, was 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 and said, "This matter is actually very simple. You probably don't know what kind of combat experience our Longyan 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 requires crossing the mountains. Under the current circumstances, it might be very difficult for the Cavalry to pass."

"General, you must think this through."

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 Holy Cross Army's supply line in the shortest time and at the fastest speed.

"Chief of Staff, pass the order: select thirty skilled horsemen to raid the Holy Cross Army's supply line. Once they succeed in the raid, we will immediately launch an attack!"

The Chief of Staff's expression immediately turned serious as 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 went on the expedition, it did not mean he had not brought cavalry. Ling Chen's original goal was to seize the enemy's War Horses and use them for his own.

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

To them, crossing hills was a condition that could not be simpler.

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, having long been ready for battle.

Ling Chen saw these Longyan soldiers and nodded quite satisfied, shouting in a deep voice, "Bring the wine!"

Other Longyan soldiers filled large bowls with wine, and Ling Chen's sharp gaze swept across the face of every one of them.

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, those who remain 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, and killing intent surged from his gaze

as Ling Chen shouted in a deep voice, "Two!"

Everyone remained unmoved, and the Chief of Staff looked at the soldiers he had selected with a stoic expression.

Ling Chen's gaze, like a blade, finally swept across everyone's eyes. These thirty people stood in confrontation with the legend of the Longyan Army, the legendary God of Slaughter, without the slightest bit of fear.

They were even more unmoved.

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

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

A layer of fine sweat appeared on the Chief of Staff's forehead, but he looked at the Longyan soldiers he had selected and saw not one of them flinching.

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

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

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

Everyone stared at Ling Chen and said in a deep voice, "With the Long Spear in hand today, we shall surely scatter the enemy's life!"

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 General still had so many people following him.

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

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 heavily, "I order you to penetrate deep behind enemy lines, cut off the enemy's supply lines, and alleviate the pressure on the front-line combat."

"Understood!"

Everyone shouted in unison, their voices like a thunderclap.

Ling Chen raised the bowl of wine 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, and they set off on their steeds, thirty men departing to sweep away the enemy invaders!

Seeing this scene, Diana was stirred by the emotion, but she had an indescribable feeling, and she whispered to the Chief of Staff, "What is the General doing?"

The Chief of Staff replied, "He is performing a send-off ritual."

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

"With steel guns in hand today, I shall surely make the enemy invaders perish!"
