C2520 The Thoughts in His Heart

While the despotic general and Wang Cheng were preparing for the war, Mo Lei had also received the news. Originally, after the night attack last night, Mo Lei already had some worries in his heart. Therefore, he was naturally more vigilant of the surrounding situation. He also sent out more of his men.

Moreover, the subordinates of the domineering general and the others, Wang Cheng's subordinates... Including the people Shi Dafu left behind, there were about two to three hundred thousand of them. With so many people, there was definitely a huge crowd. Even if the area outside the pass was vast and sparsely populated, with so many people gathered together, that was also a very big goal.

Furthermore, the despotic general and the others were prepared to have a decisive battle with Mo Lei and the Great Lu Dynasty army today. Therefore, they had never thought of hiding their troops. This way, it would naturally be easier for Mo Lei and the others to obtain the news.

In fact, Huang Feng had gotten the news much earlier than Mo Lei. Furthermore, Huang Feng had already known about it before yesterday's night attack. Not far from them, there was a large group of people gathering. However, Huang Feng didn't have any friendly relationship with Mo Lei, Lin Yu, and the others. He stayed here to protect Princess Qi's safety. As for the other matters, he didn't care. So... He didn't tell Mo Lei, Lin Yu, and the others what he knew.

"So, they want to have a decisive battle today?" After Mo Lei heard scout's report, he called all the generals under him to his tent. Lin Yu and a few high rank generals from Great Lu Dynasty also came to share the information he knew.

Although both sides had been fighting in the past and were worried, they were now grasshoppers on a rope. The surrounding enemies would not care about whether the army from Great Lu Dynasty or Fengjue Country's army. After charging over, they would definitely slash randomly. Therefore, at this moment, they, who had always been the enemy,... They had to work together.

Although Lin Yu came from the Aristocratic Family, but, in terms of military and combat command, naturally, he couldn't be compared to Mo Lei, who had been in the battlefield for many years. Therefore... The command of the United Army naturally fell on Mo Lei's head. Although some of the generals of the Great Lu Dynasty were dissatisfied, after all, in this United Army... The number of their soldiers was greater than the number of Fengjue Countries. In their point of view, this command naturally belonged to them.

However, Lin Yu had the highest status amongst them, so he had no objections. Even if they were dissatisfied, they could only hide it in their hearts at this moment.

Of course, Lin Yu didn't want to be subservient to anyone. However... He knew his own ability, although he had a certain level of commanding ability. He didn't feel that his talent was inferior to anyone else's... But... He was still young and lacked battle experience, and this wasn't a small matter. Once he gave orders and caused the war to fail... Then... He would definitely be held accountable for the failure of the war in Cangling Mountain. It had caused him to lose a lot of face in the hearts of the king and the officials. At this time, if he failed again, it might not be as simple as being demoted. He might not even be able to keep his life.

For the sake of his future and for his own life, Lin Yu wouldn't be foolish enough to fight Mo Lei for the command of the battlefield at this moment. That would be harming him.

However, even if he knew that Mo Lei had a lot of experience in commanding the battlefield, however, Lin Yu was still very pessimistic about the current situation. In fact, there was already a big gap between the two of them in terms of strength. Plus, the night attack last night was obviously part of their plan. This made Lin Yu even more uncertain.

However, what he could do now was to cooperate with Mo Lei as much as possible to win this battle.

"Yes, they are gathering, and they don't have any intention of hiding it." The captain of scout reported.

"How many people are there?" Mo Lei asked.

"No less than two hundred thousand." Captain scout said.

He could only estimate one number. After all, the despotic general and the others were not easy to deal with. They could not really let them get too close, so they could only look at them from afar and estimate a rough number.

However, even if it was just a rough number, it was enough to make everyone present feel shocked. One had to know that the allied forces of two countries on their side added together. It was only slightly more than a hundred thousand, half less than the other side.

Although Mo Lei, Lin Yu and the others were very confident, the individual soldiers under his command were more powerful than the other side. However... With such a huge difference in numbers, it can be said that there is a huge disadvantage... Furthermore, the cavalry brought by the despotic general was not weak. Even if they could not compare to the army of Fengjue Country that had been on the battlefield for a long time, however... To defeat the army of Great Lu Dynasty, there was no problem at all.

Therefore, the pressure in everyone's heart was huge.

"Let the troops gather. This is a head-on battle. We will fight with our true strength. Nothing else is useless." Mo Lei said to everyone.

Although he felt a tremendous pressure, however, on Mo Lei's face... No despair could be seen. To Mo Lei... The current situation was indeed very dangerous. However, it hadn't reached the point of complete despair yet. If they were to really fight, it was really uncertain who would win and who would lose. Their chances of winning were naturally not high, but there was still some.

"Yes!"

The generals received the order. The endurance in their hearts naturally could not be compared with Mo Lei's. Especially those who came from the Great Lu Dynasty. Their hearts were already crumbling. Initially, they thought that they were here to protect Princess Qi. If they were to face the enemy, they would only have to face the unarmed rebels. The pressure would not be too great.

However, only now did they realize that it was not the case. They had to face not only the rebels, but also the armies of the surrounding countries. Those armies were also stronger than them.

Moreover, the mud soldiers that they previously thought had no combat strength seemed to be not as easy to deal with as they had imagined. The night attack last night was brought by those mud soldiers. They had a conflict with those people last night. They fought... Although they won in the end, it was not as easy as they thought. Moreover, those mud men's weapons and equipment were actually quite good.

This made the generals of the army from the Great Lu Dynasty feel even more uncertain. And now, when they heard that the number of enemies was twice their own, the pressure on them instantly became even greater.

"General Lin, shouldn't we have made plans earlier?"

After coming out of Mo Lei's tent, the generals from the Great Lu Dynasty surrounded Lin Yu and asked.

When these people faced Lin Yu, their attitudes were very low. Although some of them had higher positions than Lin Yu, however, they didn't dare to show any disrespect in front of Lin Yu. Because, they knew Lin Yu's background. Furthermore... ， the Imperial Guards wasn't an ordinary army. It was the army that the Emperor trusted the most. Lin Yu was a lieutenant in the army, so his future was naturally not something that the people of the local army could compare with. Lin Yu would definitely be promoted faster than them in the future. He would surpass them. It was only a matter of time.

Who would offend a young man with a bright future now? Therefore, even those with higher positions than Lin Yu were very polite to him.

"Plan? What plan?" Lin Yu asked.1

"General Lin, we all think that the people of Fengjue Country want to defeat that enemy. The possibility is very low, and there is a high chance that we will lose. We must make plans in advance. Only by doing so can we reduce our losses. " One of the generals said.

"You all think so?" Lin Yu looked at the others and asked.

The others looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

"Silly!" Lin Yu angrily rebuked, "At this time, we want to protect ourselves more. We can only work with the people of Fengjue Country. If that's the case... Only then will we have the chance to win. If Mo Lei loses... Do you think the enemy will let us go? You tell them that we are from the Great Lu Dynasty, and they will let us live? "

Everyone fell silent.

"Once Mo Lei is defeated, we will all die!" Lin Yu said, "Among us, there are not many cavalry. But... There are many cavalry in the enemy. Once we lose... In such an empty pass, there was no way we could outrun the four-legged cavalry. When the time comes, we will definitely be caught and killed. "

"But, can we win by coordinating with those people from the Fengjue Country?" Someone asked.

"We might not be able to win, but at least we have a chance of winning." Lin Yu said, "Even if there is a glimmer of hope, we have to fight with our lives on the line."

Everyone stopped talking. Lin Yu thought they had made up their minds. In the end, he said, "All of you better put away the little thoughts in your hearts, or else... What awaits all of you is the danger of death. When the time comes... No one can save you."

After saying that, Lin Yu left.

The others looked at each other. One of them said, "What should we do?"

"I think he is worried about himself. I heard that the defeat in Cangling Mountain made the Emperor very dissatisfied with him. Therefore, we must not fail this time." Another man said.

"That's right." The person next to him said, "Withdraw at the right time. When the time comes, we can find a reason to expand. Nothing will happen. After all, we are at a disadvantage. Retreat is only to preserve our strength, but Lin Yu can't. He has already failed once. There can't be any more failures. He had to win this battle because he had lost. Her Highness the Princess was in danger. As the person in charge of the escort team, the responsibility is the greatest."
