Free Web NovelChapter 1067: Chapter 1027: Who Are You?
This time, in order to ensure absolute security, Lin Yi not only deployed troops here, but also behind the city’s wall, in the area connected to other cities, troops were arranged.
Similarly, in their primeval forests, a total of fifty to sixty thousand soldiers were thrown in.
With this, it’s fair to say that Suiyang City was directly surrounded, using a total of one hundred thousand soldiers. Not only considering Lin Yi’s methods but even by forceful attack, victory wasn’t out of reach!
Moreover, Lin Yi directly deployed troops to their rear, effectively cutting off their reinforcements and retreat paths while being able to launch a surprise attack on their military camps.
It can be said that the walls have lost any function for them.
This way, it means no more siege warfare but rather a confrontation battle, this time relying on manpower. Furthermore, there weren’t many cavalry there, and Lin Yi used mostly infantry.
Under equal forces and battle types, the outcome could go either way.
More importantly, Lin Yi’s troops have the advantage of surprise; they arrived undetected, guaranteed to catch them off guard.
At that moment, in their shock and fear, they are likely to suffer a devastating defeat.
Then, combined with an internal and external assault, this would be a war with no suspense.
However, Lin Yi never planned for such; he had stated many times before, he wants people, not merely a victory in battle.
Because of this, after deploying both sides’ troops, he leisurely put on their uniform and sneaked back into the camp.
As for Lin Yi’s attire, naturally, it was the deputy general’s outfit he snatched last time.
Regarding those who were knocked unconscious by Lin Yi, were they not discovered?
Have they still not woken up after so long?
The answer is no.
They have long been awake.
However, they can’t appear in Zhao Country’s military camp anymore.
The reason, of course, isn’t that Lin Yi killed them, but that he took them all away, and on departure, threw them into a helicopter, transporting them to the Shanhaiguan barracks, where they are undergoing indoctrination by the National Guardian Soldiers, brainwashing them, attempting to convert them.
Of course, this is what Lin Yi demanded; otherwise, following previous practices, they would have been executed long ago.
But now, under Lin Yi’s orders, they are being persuaded.
Indeed, there’s a thought of training involved here, as Lin Yi needs generals who can persuade surrender, hence experimenting on them is quite suitable, cultivating a batch of personnel capable of taking on the role of political commissars.
After all, a well-led unit is critically decided by the commissar. If a unit’s commissar is formidable, its core cohesion would certainly be immensely strong.
Because of this, Lin Yi has very high standards for the commissar role.
Therefore, various trainings are conducted for them.
Meanwhile, he constantly exercises their capability, reciting real events to them, further establishing Lin Yi’s foundational principles.
Only by erecting proper beliefs for everyone can Lin Yi peacefully sit in that position without worrying about them.
No need to fear any intentions of mutiny from below.
Anyway, these are all side issues; let’s focus on Lin Yi at this moment, after donning the deputy general’s attire, he once more infiltrated the camp.
This time, he played a high-stakes game, not waiting for anything, after all, the next conference was uncertain when it would occur.
He directly arrived outside the main general’s residence, boldly pushed the door open, and walked in.
As for why no one stopped him, his clothing’s rank speaks for itself. Generally, people wouldn’t stop him, plus, people of his rank within the entire camp wouldn’t exceed 100. freēwebnovel.com
This ranking grants a green light for meeting the commander.
Besides, previously the commander instructed that, during this special period, excessive formalities weren’t needed.
Thus, Lin Yi found a perfect opportunity.
Upon entering, he discovered four or five people gathered in the residence’s hall, studying a map, and the leader was the old man seen before, undoubtedly the Grand General of Zhao Country.
Seeing Lin Yi walk in, the old man was startled, furrowing his brows slightly, and asked:
"Which camp are you from? What are you doing here? Why doesn’t this old man remember you?"
Admittedly, the old man’s judgment was sharp; despite nearly a hundred such ranked individuals, he held some memory of each.
Yet, upon scouring his memory, he couldn’t find a match for Lin Yi, causing him to frown and look at Lin Yi with a puzzled expression.
Of course, despite his confusion about Lin Yi’s identity and which camp he belonged to, he never suspected Lin Yi’s true identity as a spy of the National Guardian, a traitor!
Such a thing, regardless of historical context, hasn’t been recorded.
Especially infiltrating to a general’s position, it’s even more unbelievable.
After all, generals have limited movement, even deputies rarely separate from the main forces.
Their movements are generally confined within the core area of the troops.
Their primary mission is command, not front-line combat, therefore, even when inspecting camps, they don’t easily venture outside, staying in the central area.
As for the outermost area?
Generals usually don’t go, unless essential, and would bring many men with them if necessary.
Should any issues arise, it would be broadcast throughout the camp instantly, impossible for someone to impersonate and infiltrate. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
In today’s era, no one can disappear unnoticed...
