Summoner's Road to Hegemony

Chapter 239
The headquarters of Xiannan City in Saudi Arabia.

Lin Ruofeng leaned over to look at the sand table in the middle of the headquarters, and beside him was an orderly who was reporting.

"Reporting to the head of the regiment, the left army of deputy head Zhuge arrived in Linhe County half a day ago, and is now provoking the enemy's defense forces. One day ago, the right army of head Wang Chaozhun also arrived in Linshan County, and has already provoked the enemy's defense forces. The two sides engaged in several small-scale battles, and our losses were greater than those of the other side."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Don't interrupt the message."

When the herald heard the regimental leader's comfort, a warm sun seemed to rise in his heart.
"No hard work, for the prosperity of the empire, for the honor of the First Legion."

The herald stretched out his right hand and put it on his left heart, bowed respectfully to Lin Ruofeng, turned around and continued to collect information.

Lin Ruofeng stood up straight, looked at the herald's leaving figure, and said:

"Now that the two armies on the left and right have fought against the opponent's defense forces, the Empire of the Sun has indeed divided its troops into three armies, each with 50 people, but our armies on the left and right are all recruits. If it takes a long time, the opponent will surely It will be discovered, and by then our central army's raid plan will fail."

Lin Ruofeng glanced at Tian Dan and the second and third captains standing in the headquarters, his eyes turned cold:

"Send the order, speed up the whole team to cross the river, and besiege Tucheng."

Tian Dan did not have any doubts, but Li Bi, the third captain, took the lead in objecting:
"Regimental commander, you can't. Although the Nanhe River is not the largest river in the kingdom of Sha, the narrowest ferry is [-] meters wide and [-] meters deep. Fighting across the river is a taboo for military strategists."

The second captain, Niu Zhuangshi, scratched his head. He couldn't organize his words well, but he still nodded and said:
"I don't read much, but I once fought a horse bandit. At that time, we were ambushing by the river. There were as many as a hundred horse bandits. Our team was only ten people, but we stayed on the bank. They came one by one. Let's hack them to death one by one. I think if we cross the Nanhe by force, we will be like those horse bandits."

Lin Ruofeng frowned. He was opposed by two of his subordinates before he started his expedition, but in order to dispel his concerns, he still explained:

"The other team's coach thinks so too. They will definitely launch an attack when we are less than half the people crossing the river. As long as the people crossing the river in front can hold on to their positions desperately, the troops crossing the river behind will cross the river safely."

After Lin Ruofeng finished speaking, Li Bi frowned and said:
"This is a method, but who are the first people to cross the river? Can they hold their positions? In addition, after successfully crossing the river, they will face the 50 elite troops of the Sun Empire. Although we have 90 elite troops, they have soil. The city can be let go, if we attack the city, the damage will be too great."

Lin Ruofeng knew very well that if he wanted to keep military secrets, he should not say it lightly, and release the solution when the problem came to an end, so that the enemy would not know in advance and react in advance.

"I have a specific combat policy, but I will announce the policy after crossing the river. Now I will tell you my policy for crossing the river. I will take the lead in crossing the river with the first brigade and stabilize the position. The second and third brigade are behind us. When you secure your position, speed across the river.”

After Lin Ruofeng finished speaking, Li Bi was taken aback and said emotionally:

"No, no, Commander, you are the commander-in-chief of the First Army Corps. How can you personally take risks? You must know that the first team to cross the river will definitely be attacked by the most violent local attack. That is a person who has a narrow escape from death. It would be me. If I fight for my life, I will definitely open a way for the following troops to get off the shore."

Lin Ruofeng grinned, and patted Li Bi's shoulder:

"Since you were so excited when you heard that I personally crossed the river, what would other people think? What would our soldiers think? They would think this way: Our coach crossed the river first to meet the enemy for the safety of the follow-up brother crossing the river. If you can do this, then you should speed up the speed of crossing the river."

"Uh," Li Bi was obviously confused by Lin Ruofeng's jumping thoughts. He vaguely felt that Lin Ruofeng's words made sense, but the coach personally took risks. This has never happened or should not even happen. He has been in the army for more than ten years. I have never met a commander who was willing to take risks for his troops.

"Okay, you don't need to say more, hurry up and prepare the troops to cross the river. If you are really worried about my comfort, then cross the river faster."

Lin Ruofeng gave the death order, and Tian Dan and the others had no choice but to leave.

An hour later, Lin Ruofeng and Tian Dan stood at the ferry of Nanhe, behind them were the first, second and third battalions ready to go.

On the other side of the Nanhe River is the army assembled by the Sun Empire. The people of the Sun Empire are not blind or foolish, and they are naturally prepared for defense when the Saudi army gathers.

At this time, Qin Laiyin was sitting on the temporary podium with her hands on her forehead, looking at the Saudi troops across the river.

"My God, what's the situation on the other side? Are they really going to cross the river right under our noses? Doesn't this mean that our Sun Empire's Hao Erlang is not in their eyes?"

After Qin Laiyin finished speaking, the 40 elite soldiers of the Sun Empire shouted in unison, and rose into the rolling thunder with overwhelming momentum.

The 90 troops assembled by Saudi Arabia turned pale when they saw the neat queue on the opposite side. They were going to cross the river with their lives!

Lin Ruofeng stood on the temporary command podium and shouted to the three brigades behind him:

"Brothers, don't be afraid. I will be the first to cross the river myself and open up a safe landing place for you. With me here, I won't let the Sun Empire's motley crew move you in the slightest."

Lin Ruofeng's words spread far away through the voice amplifier, but it was still a bit difficult for 90 people to hear them all, but the messengers had already conveyed Commander Lin's words to every soldier's ears.

When Lin Ruofeng spoke with a voice amplifier, Qin Laien, the head of the Sun Empire Legion on the other side of the river, naturally heard it:

"This commander named Lin Ruofeng is not a fool, is he? He exposed his intentions and position before the battle started. Does he really treat our Sun Empire's good men like garbage? Does he really treat our elite troops as a ragtag army? Is he gone? Is he mentally ill?"

Qin Laien laughed back in anger, pointed to the other side of the river and asked Qin Yu:

"This is the person you gave a high evaluation to? You lose to such a person everywhere?"

Qin Yu explained embarrassingly:
"As far as I know, this kid is really brave. It seems that he never knows how to write fear, but when it comes to marching and fighting, I really don't know that he is at such a level."

Qin Lanen smiled and said coldly:

"Hmph, whether you are a real fool or just pretending to be stupid, I will make you come and go. If you have the guts, just cross the river. When you cross the river, I will give you the most violent attack."

For the first time in his life, this white-bearded Sun Empire Expedition Commander and the younger brother of the Sun Empire Emperor felt that he was being looked down upon by others, and a strong anger rose from his heart.
