C483 War Broke out in the New Year's Chapter
" Do you know the exact number of Barbarian Army? "
"The exact number is still being calculated, but the vanguard force of Barbarian Clan is at least 200 thousand." The voice of the messenger sounded a little heavy.
200 thousand!
Zhou Fengmiao and Xueling looked at each other in surprise.
Generally speaking, the vanguard forces were responsible for investigating information and probing attacks. It was impossible for them to have a large scale, but the Barbarian Clan's vanguard forces were as large as two hundred thousand!
How large was the large force following behind them?
"The Barbarian Clan did not attack earlier and did not attack later. Why did they choose to attack at this time?" Zhou Fengmiao narrowed his eyes. He had a premonition.
Although he had fought countless battles with the Barbarian Clan, most of the time, both sides engaged in wild battles. Attacking cities! There were very few battles, let alone attacking the heartland of the enemy. This was an extremely unwise action. If one was not careful, one could suffer heavy losses.
However, the Barbarian Clan had to do this.
Could it be that the Barbarian Clan's attack was related to Yang Xuan's discovery?
A vague guess flashed across Zhou Fengmiao's mind. He quickly cleared his distracting thoughts. The most important thing right now was to deal with the Barbarian Clan's attack.
"Who is the commander of the Barbarian Clan's vanguard army?"
"Third Prince of Barbarian Clan, Lesha."
"Him again?" Zhou Fengmiao frowned deeply when he heard the name. In the previous exchange, Lesha's insidious and cunning had left a deep impression on Zhou Fengmiao.
Zhou Fengmiao thought to himself.
Although the Barbarian Clan's attack this time was very powerful, Zhou Fengmiao wasn't really worried about the safety of Profound Gate Pass.
Profound Gate Pass was the border of the entire country. After several generations of management, it had become a true war fortress. Relying on the geographical location, it was enough to withstand dozens of times the enemy's military force without breaking through. Not to mention, those who could stay in Profound Gate Pass were all elites who had experienced hundreds of battles.
It was basically impossible for Barbarian Clan to break through Profound Gate Pass directly.
Zhou Fengmiao was very clear about this, so he was worried that the Barbarian Clan would attack from the east and attack from the west. Or, it could be said that they had other conspiracies.
After careful consideration, Zhou Fengmiao quickly made a decision.
"Pass down my order. Order the Greedy Wolf Army outside of the pass to send scouts to the outer area. Spread out 50 miles and search for traces of the Barbarian Clan. If we find any traces of the Barbarian Clan, retreat and prepare for defense. If there are no traces of the Barbarian Clan..."
Zhou Fengmiao hesitated for a moment and said, "Then gather all the troops and prepare to enter the battlefield from the side at any time. We will give the Barbarian Clan a swift strike!"
"Order the Tiger Army to immediately gather in the southeast and launch a feint attack on the southeast post road. If the defense of the southeast post road is weak, turn the void into reality and take back the post road in one go. If the defense is tight..."
Zhou Fengmiao had a cold smile on his face and said, "Then turn around and prepare to attack at the same time with the Greedy Wolf Army and defeat the Barbarian Army in one go!"
"The military order is swift. Quickly send the order!"
After Zhou Fengmiao finished speaking, he waved his hand and a token emitting a faint light flew out from his sleeve and flew into the hands of the messenger.
Holding this small token, the messenger cupped his hands at Zhou Fengmiao and exerted force with his feet. He instantly turned into a ray of light and fled into the distance.
"Xueling." After the messenger left, Zhou Fengmiao looked at Xueling who was standing by the side and ordered, "Get the giants to gather and prepare to charge at any time. Wait for the order to cooperate with Tan Lang and the Tiger Troop to charge together!"
Xueling cupped his hands in response, turned around, and left the tent. A faint spiritual light lingered on his body, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After everything was arranged, Zhou Fengmiao looked at Wang Mang, who had been waiting for orders. He was silent for a while, and then said, "I want to organize the defense of the city. For the time being, I don't have the energy to investigate Hsu San's whereabouts."
"General!" Wang Mang's eyes turned red when he heard that. Hsu San brought Wang Mang into Greedy Wolf Army with one hand. He had become Wang Mang's master and father's close relative a long time ago.
"Don't worry, let me finish." Zhou Fengmiao waved his hand to signal Wang Mang to calm down. He thought for a while and said slowly, "The siege of Barbarian Clan is the most important thing right now. I really don't have the extra energy to deal with other things right now. But finding Hsu San's whereabouts is urgent. How about this... "
Zhou Fengmiao thought for a while and finally chose the person he trusted the most from the people he could transfer. He said to Wang Mang, "I will send a team with you to find Hsu San's whereabouts."
"Stephen will come in!"
"Yes!" The guard outside the door responded and quickly left. After a while, General Stephen, who had a straight face, walked in.
"Yuwen, I have an extremely confidential task for you." Time was tight, and there was no time for Zhou Fengmiao to chat. Therefore, Zhou Fengmiao went straight to the point and said, "Wang Mang will tell you the specific situation later, I only have two requests for you."
At this point, Zhou Fengmiao's voice became low and there was a hint of killing intent in it. "One, I will give you the highest authority. You will be responsible for me directly. The content of the mission must be absolutely confidential. You must not reveal it to anyone other than me. Second, you must not reveal it to anyone else. You must be decisive in your actions. If there is anyone who dares to stand in my way... "
Zhou Fengmiao took a deep look at Stephen and said coldly," Whether it is the General or the Marquis, Commander or the aristocratic families, kill without mercy! "
The voice that contained boundless killing intent caused the temperature of the entire tent to drop by a few degrees. Being rushed by this killing intent, Wang Mang, who was at the side, could not help but shiver.
Stephen General's face was as stiff as always. His eyes were serious and cold, as if he did not understand what Zhou Fengmiao meant. He just responded in a solemn tone, "I understand."
Zhou Fengmiao seemed to be very satisfied with Yuwen Jian's attitude. He waved his hand, and the token and rough yellow paper that emitted rich spiritual light flew in front of Yuwen Jian.
The difference between Yuwen Jian and the messenger was that the token in front of him was a bright golden color. The majesty that the token emitted made people's heart palpitate.
This was Zhou Fengmiao's personal token!
"Destroy the slip of paper immediately after reading it."
After giving the order, Zhou Fengmiao wanted to leave.
"Right!" When he walked to the door, Zhou Fengmiao suddenly remembered something. He added, "Yang Xuan is also involved in this matter. If you meet Yang Xuan, you have to cooperate with him as much as possible. Also, Xue Da and the others seem to be still in the camp. Take them away when you leave. Leave it to Yang Xuan. "
"Yes, general!"
Yuwen Jian lowered his head and replied. He raised his head again, and saw that Zhou Fengmiao had already disappeared without a trace.
"Tell me everything that happened." Yuwen Jian faintly glanced at Wang Mang, then opened the note.
"Yes!" Wang Mang swallowed his saliva, and looked at Yuwen Jian with fear in his eyes. Obviously, he had heard the name of this cold-faced general, "Four hours ago..."
