Chapter 332 A Lone Army Deep into Enemy Territory!

"So, Miss Lin's 20,000 troops have ventured deep into enemy territory alone?" Lian Qiao exclaimed in shock, "That's incredibly dangerous!"

Ma Zheng nodded heavily: "After the Rongdi win, they will pursue this army with all their might, and it will probably be difficult to withdraw."

"What should we do?" Peony asked anxiously.

"We can only wait for the army to come to our rescue, but the army, having suffered such a setback, is unlikely to send troops easily," Ma Zheng analyzed. "We still have to rely on ourselves."

"How can we rely on ourselves? 150,000 people are gone, and 20,000 are just prey for them." Peony said anxiously, "But it's too late to count on us."

They were still ten days away from the main army, and it would take the army at least twenty days to reach the front line, so there was no time to break in and rescue them.

Moreover, the reinforcements this time number only 50,000, so even if they arrive, the probability of winning is not high.

Shen Li composed herself and said almost expressionlessly, "Bring me the map."

Ma Zheng took out a map from his pocket and spread it out on the ground.

Shen Li looked towards the border between Da Zhao and Rong Di, a long border line with Langya Pass, guarded by Li Yuanhua, right in the middle of it.

She glanced at it briefly and then picked up her pen to write a letter. Even though her eyes were very calm, those close to her could still notice the slight tremors that appeared when she wrote.

Forsythia and Peony were also worried, because they knew how much their young mistress cared about Miss Lin, and they were both praying that nothing would happen to Miss Lin.

"Send someone to deliver my letter to General Xu." Shen Li quickly wrote the letter and handed it to Ma Zheng.

"Yes."

"Order to change course and march towards Moxian County."

Ma Zheng was taken aback when he heard this, and then he saw the location of Mo County on the map. It was a county town bordering the Rongdi people and the closest defensive pass to them, called Mokou Pass.

The Mokou Pass has always been garrisoned by a small number of troops because the area is poor and mountainous. When the local people encounter Rong and Di people, they would go up the mountain to hide. After the Rong and Di people robbed the pass a few times but couldn't get anything, they rarely came back.

Mokou Pass is five days' journey from Langya Pass, meaning that this is the shortest route to enter the Rongdi region.

“Sir, fighting requires following orders. Besides, you are a civil official. If you send troops without authorization, you will be beheaded.” Ma Zheng did not carry out this second order.

“I have a gold medal in hand. His Majesty granted my permission when I came here. Men under three thousand can be at my command and do not need to obey generals’ orders.” Shen Li narrowed her eyes: “Go and do it.”

“...Yes.” Ma Zheng hesitated for a moment, but still went.

After all, a thousand men entering the Rongdi territory sounded far more dangerous than Lin Wan'er's twenty thousand troops, but since the superiors had given the order, he, as a soldier, couldn't be afraid of death.

“Miss, I know you’re anxious, but we can’t help you now. You need to calm down,” Lianqiao advised from the side.

Shen Li closed her eyes briefly, her voice calm: "I am very calm. I will not gamble with everyone's lives, and I also believe that she is not someone that anyone can arrest."

Lin Wan'er is a strategic genius; even if only her side remains after the battle, she might still achieve remarkable feats.

But despite her belief, she couldn't wait any longer and needed to quickly enter Rongdi to help Lin Wan'er.

Fifteen minutes later, the team set off again, this time changing its direction slightly and moving at a faster speed than before.

The battle report came two days later, saying that General Xiao Qi had requested to lead 10,000 men to invade the Rongdi territory again. Judging from their momentum, they were not only there to fight, but also to demand people.
