Online Game: Me, with Unparalleled Comprehension
Chapter 387 Departure, Observing the Battle
As dawn broke through the courtyard, a thin layer of mist enveloped it.
The stone table and benches were covered in dew, and a few trees swayed their leaves gently in the morning breeze.
Li Qinglu and the others were still asleep, and the doors were all closed.
Wu Feng didn't call them. He lightly lifted himself up and landed on the roof. Then he leaped off the roof and landed at the entrance of the front hall.
I pushed open the door and went inside, then sat down in the main seat.
Several servants were sweeping the courtyard when they saw him and quickly bowed.
Wu Feng waved to the servant standing at the door. The servant hurriedly ran over, bowing, "Your Excellency, what are your orders?"
"Go to the kitchen and get some breakfast. Porridge, steamed buns, some side dishes, anything will do."
The servant nodded quickly, turned around, and ran out.
Wu Feng leaned back in his chair, picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a glass of water, and took a sip.
Not long after, a servant came in carrying a tray.
Millet porridge, two baskets of steamed buns, a dish of pickled vegetables, and a dish of peanuts were placed on the table.
Wu Feng picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of a steamed bun, and then took a bite.
It tasted good. I took another sip of the porridge. The porridge was thick and tasted good too.
He ate quickly, finishing a basket of buns in just a few minutes, and then grabbed a second basket.
Pickled vegetables and peanuts are a perfect accompaniment to porridge.
When he had almost finished eating, Wu Feng put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a cloth.
He picked up his water glass, took another sip, and leaned back in his chair.
With a slight thought, he opened the management interface of Yingzhou City.
A semi-transparent light screen unfolded before his eyes, and he found the military section and clicked on it.
The situation of the military came up one by one.
On Mu Lingyun's side, five thousand soldiers had already left the military camp in the east of the city and headed towards the target county town.
The location is marked on the map; it's about thirty li from Yingzhou City, and we're still on the way.
On Xiong Batian's side, the five thousand men split into several teams and headed towards the mountain strongholds in different directions.
The map is marked with several red dots, which represent the locations of the target strongholds. The furthest one is more than forty li away from Yingzhou City.
On Zhou Tieshan's side, 5,000 men remained in the city, their marked location unchanged, still in the western military camp. The status bar read "Training in progress."
On Han Yufeng's side, five thousand soldiers had already left the military camp south of the city and headed towards the target county town.
On Zhang Heng's side, the 10,000 troops split into two groups. One group of 5,000 went to a county town to the east, and the other group of 5,000 went to a county town to the west.
The map marks two locations, both about thirty li apart.
On Li Hu's side, the players' teams were not displayed on the management interface.
But Li Hu said yesterday that he would make his own arrangements, so he should have already set off.
Wu Feng looked at the markings on the map and nodded.
Several armies have already headed to their respective locations; the faster ones have covered most of the distance, while the slower ones have left the city.
At this rate, they should arrive at their destinations around noon today.
He glanced at the city's status bar again.
Resources, food, and silver are all plentiful. The city's defenses are in good condition, with no abnormalities.
Everything is working properly, that's good.
Wu Feng closed the management interface, leaned back in his chair, and tapped his fingers lightly twice on the armrest.
Of the various legions, he wasn't too worried about Mu Lingyun's side. Mu Lingyun possessed considerable strength and combat ability, and was also a reliable leader.
Five thousand men are more than enough to take down a small county town.
There's no need to worry about Xiong Batian's side attacking the bandits.
The bandits in the mountain stronghold were of varying strengths, and Xiong Batian led five thousand men there, easily crushing them.
Although Zhang Heng led 10,000 men, Zhang Heng himself had never fought a battle.
However, he had a large army; ten thousand men could attack a small county town. Even if there were problems with the command, he could still win by virtue of his superior numbers.
Zhou Tieshan stayed in the city, so he didn't have much to worry about.
The person I'm most worried about is Han Yufeng.
Although Han Yufeng was quite strong, a second-rate martial artist, the weapon she was skilled with was not suitable for the battlefield.
Gathering intelligence, spying on the enemy, and assassination—these are things they might be good at.
But he might have some problems leading troops into battle.
With a force of several thousand people, troop deployment, siege warfare, and logistical support are not her strengths.
Moreover, she was a woman, and in ancient battlefields, soldiers generally did not have much trust in female generals.
Although many of the 5,000 soldiers she led were veterans, if there were any problems with command when it came to a real battle, things could easily go wrong.
Wu Feng thought for a moment, then stood up.
Let's go check on Han Yufeng's situation first.
He walked out of the front hall, through the corridor, around the screen wall, and out of the governor's mansion gate. The guards at the gate saw him and quickly bowed.
Wu Feng ignored him, pushed off the ground, and landed on a nearby rooftop.
Using the Lingbo Weibu technique at full power, he leaped across the rooftops and sped towards the south of the city.
After leaving the city gate, we walked south along the official road.
The morning breeze felt cool on my face.
Wu Feng quickened his pace, his figure becoming a fleeting shadow on the official road.
Han Yufeng's team had been traveling for most of the night and should be almost at their target county by now. He needed to hurry over and check on the situation.
When Wu Feng arrived, it was already broad daylight.
He stood on the branch of a large tree by the official road and glanced south.
Han Yufeng's troops were marching on the official road, arranged in two columns, with infantry in the middle, cavalry on both sides, and supply wagons following at the rear.
The procession stretched out for a long time, but it maintained an orderly formation from beginning to end. No one spoke, no one fell behind, and only the sounds of horses' hooves and footsteps mingled together, creating a muffled sound.
Despite marching all night, neither the men nor the horses seemed exhausted.
The soldier at the front stood ramrod straight, his long spear held upright, its tip gleaming in the morning light.
The infantrymen behind them marched steadily, showing no signs of fatigue despite having walked all night.
The cavalrymen kept their eyes scanning the bushes on both sides of the official road, remaining vigilant.
Wu Feng leaned against the tree trunk, arms crossed, watching the procession pass by.
Han Yufeng rode the black horse in the middle of the group, slightly ahead of the others. She was wearing a suit of iron armor, and her helmet was hanging next to the saddle.
He had a scalpel hanging from his waist.
Zhao Yu'e and Sun Yujiao followed behind her, both riding horses and wearing leather armor, making them quite conspicuous in the drab gray procession.
Wu Feng nodded as he watched the orderly march of the troops.
As a woman who came from a background as the leader of a mountain stronghold, she certainly had some tricks up her sleeve.
The soldiers he led weren't rigid, but they followed all the rules. Their marching, guard duty, and logistics were all well-organized and flawless.
He saw the troops but didn't intend to go out. Instead, he watched from the sidelines to see how well Han Yufeng could command the battle.
Wu Feng shifted to a more comfortable position against the tree trunk, took out a water bottle from his backpack, unscrewed the cap, and took a sip.
The group continued forward, and the gray city walls of the county town came into view.
It was more than half the height of Yingzhou City. The city gate was open, and a few civilians were walking out. When they saw the army coming from afar, they immediately turned around and ran back.
The guards at the city gate saw it too, and someone shouted at the top of their lungs, and the city gate began to slowly close.
Wu Feng observed from the sidelines.
Before long, the army arrived in the county town.
Han Yufeng did not rush to attack the city, but instead reined in her horse a short distance from the city gate.
She rode on her horse, glanced at the city wall, and then led Zhao Yu'e and Sun Yujiao to urge their horses forward a few dozen steps, stopping at the edge of the range of arrows.
Han Yufeng led her people directly to the entrance of the county town to challenge them.
She raised her head and shouted towards the city wall: "I am Han Yufeng from Yingzhou City, here to take over this city on the orders of the governor. Surrender and you will be spared. Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy."
The sound wasn't loud, but it was infused with internal energy, so everyone on the city wall could hear it clearly.
There was a moment of silence on the city wall.
