Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Chapter 1362 3 Elite Troops Attack the Camp (Part 2)

How big is the encampment for 15,000 people?

In any case, to the scouts led by Niu Gao, the entire area in front of them was filled with tents!

"Why are there so many people?"

Even though everyone who came was a fearless warrior, seeing such a large expanse of tents still made them a little apprehensive.

"The number of people is indeed a bit too many."

Even though Niu Gao was brave, his face was very pale at this moment. The idea of ​​a hundred riders raiding a camp sounded very impressive, but the prerequisite was that they had to survive.

If one doesn't survive, one won't be remembered in history, but will become a laughingstock for overestimating one's abilities.

"Lieutenant General Niu, we only have three hundred men. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to even break through this camp!"

“Yes, Deputy General Niu, why don’t we go back and tell General Yue that we have discovered the enemy’s camp and request reinforcements from the main force?”

……

The scouts that Niu Gao brought out were mostly veterans. Although they weren't exactly battle-hardened, they had been fighting on the battlefield for several years. Faced with such a huge gap in strength, they couldn't calculate the possibility of winning.

"General Yue is not going to retreat."

Others may not know, but Niu Gao knew very well that Yue Fei would definitely not retreat this time. Even if he was outnumbered, he would go forward without hesitation.

"Leave two people here with me to keep watch, the rest of you go back to provide backup."

Niu Gao hid himself in the shadows of the grass, raised his telescope, and tried to find a weakness in the enemy camp.

Seeing that they couldn't persuade him, the scouts gave up. They left two men with Niu Gao to continue scouting, while the others quickly returned to provide backup.

Sure enough, when they encountered Yue Fei and explained the situation ahead, Yue Fei, as expected, also refused to retreat.

"Before we came out this time, our mission was to scout out the enemy's situation and inflict as much damage on them as possible."

"Just because the other side has a large number of people, are we going to slink back like this? Do you want to be laughed at when you go back?"

"General, if the enemy were few in number, we would certainly fight to the death. But there are at least tens of thousands of people in that camp, dozens of times more than us. If we continue to insist now, it would be just showing off!"

The scouts tried to persuade him again, but Yue Fei refused.

"We're wearing the best gear, carrying the best weapons, and riding the best warhorses. Everything about us is top-notch, yet we're tempted to retreat just because we see a large number of enemies? Is that what men do?"

"Back when Xiang Yu, the King of Chu, was at Gaixia, how many men did he have by his side? How many were the Han army? Were they afraid?"

"Let's go! Let me go and take a look! As long as the enemy hasn't discovered us, we still have a chance of victory,"

Because of Yue Fei's insistence, the group had no choice but to continue forward. When they met up with Niu Gao and the others, Niu Gao was still trying to find a breakthrough.

"Old Niu, how's it going?"

"General, there are at least 10,000 people here, but probably no more than 20,000."

Niu Gao said that he had just looked around and found that although there were many people, it was still within his tolerance range.

"Oh? Why do you see it?"

“The Jin army’s tents are generally small enough to squeeze in ten soldiers, and large enough to hold about thirty. I just calculated that number.”

Niu Gao has a lot of experience.

"Is there anything we can exploit? Or are there any weaknesses they have?"

Yes, there.

Niu Gao pointed in a direction, indicating to Yue Fei to use his clairvoyance.

"That place was piled high with grain and supplies, which is very unusual. The Jurchens would not usually leave grain and supplies out like that. There is only one explanation: someone must have delivered grain and supplies to them today."

"Really, so much grain... Hey, wouldn't it be a sight to see it all burned?"

Yue Fei also saw the mountain of grain and fodder, which were all flammable. In a situation where fewer people were fighting against more people, setting fire to the grain and fodder to create chaos was undoubtedly a very good option.

"Old Niu, in a little while you'll take a hundred men and sneak in from that place, then steal the grain and fodder for me!"

Without hesitation, Yue Fei directly instructed Niu Gao to take charge of this important matter.

"The rest of you, follow me and Zaixing, charge! Let's light the fire and buy them time!"

"Me? General, how about we switch? You go light the fire, and Zaixing and I will charge into the enemy lines?"

When Niu Gao heard that he was in charge of lighting the fire, he immediately felt something was wrong. Compared to charging into battle, lighting the fire should have been easier to survive. Yue Fei's life was definitely more valuable than his own, and he couldn't let anything happen to Yue Fei.

"Niu Gao, this is a military order. Do you intend to disobey it?"

Yue Fei glared at Niu Gao, stopping him from continuing.

"I told you to light the fire, so do it properly. If you manage to set all this grain on fire, you'll have accomplished a great feat!"

"……Yes."

Seeing Yue Fei's resolute gaze, Niu Gao knew that there was no point in saying anything more, so he immediately changed his expression and firmly accepted the task.

“General, there’s a large tent over there, and the way the tent is decorated is something I’ve never seen before. It’s probably the leader of this group of Jurchens.”

Niu Gao continued to share the information he had just received.

“Since we’re going to fight, we should definitely go in and out quickly. I’ve taken a look, and the closest way to that big tent is to rush down from that hill. After we get there, we can rush out from another direction and cut their camp in two.”

"This is the closest distance, suitable for your charge, General. We can also use rockets as we charge to further confuse the others."

"I will definitely light the fire and support the general at the same time. As long as the enemy cannot react and encircle us quickly, our chances of safely retreating will be much greater!"

"Alright, Lao Niu, go and prepare. I'll keep two cans here, and the rest of the kerosene is yours."

Yue Fei looked at the route pointed out by Niu Gao and was quite satisfied with it, so he agreed to the strategy.

Without delay, everyone immediately split up and took action. When Yue Fei and the others arrived at the starting point of the charge, Yang Zaixing stood directly at the front.

"Revival?"

"Brother, you are the commander, and I am your vanguard."

Yang Zaixing's iron spear was itching for action; he stared intently at the Jin army camp's fence, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

"So you can't be the first one, I have to be the first one."

Looking at Yang Zaixing's back, Yue Fei felt proud to have such a brother. He thought Yang Zaixing was very strong and reliable.

"Okay! But you keep this one."

Yue Fei handed the short gun he was carrying to Yang Zaixing.

"Brother, aren't you using this gun?"

Yang Zaixing was somewhat surprised.

"You're the vanguard, use this gun to protect me!"

Yue Fei patted Yang Zaixing on the shoulder, then ripped off the holster from his back.

Under the moonlight, what was revealed was a ten-foot-long gold-plated spear, with the four characters "Li Quan Divine Spear" engraved on the shaft. The spearhead was a sharp snake tail, and the spear tip gleamed with a cold light, clearly a divine weapon!

This gun was specially made for Yue Fei by Tang Long at Ren Yuan's request!

“Li Quan, oh Li Quan.”

Yue Fei stroked the spear in his hand, his eyes fixed on the large tent not far away, his tone full of anticipation.

"If you have a spirit tonight, then help me kill the enemy!"

"I will use the blood of the Golden Man to forge your sword!"
