Yenti expected that these outsiders would disregard the 2,000 troops outside of Shang Yuan city and directly draw forces to attack Sanson City.

At this point, Jang Wei as thoughts shifted.

Have the outsiders not launched another attack on the city in the past 2 days.

No, Wong Tong replied his mood complex.

While it was indeed a relief that they hadn't tea attacked, it also left him feeling like a fool, especially since he had been on edge for two whole days.

Have reconnaissance troops been sent out of the city to investigate the situation? Jang Wei asked again.

Yes, there were.

No signs of the enemy were found near Han City.

Should we report this to his majesty? taking the road behind Son City.

Even if it were just one person on horseback, it would take three days for a one-way trip.

A roundtrip would take six to seven days.

According to his majesty s previously arranged plan at noon 3 days later the siege of Shang Yuan city would officially begin and I would immediately set off after resting for one day in Son City to form a pinsir attack with the 2,000 troops from Shang Yuan city.

Capturing Sona city in one go there simply wouldn't te be enough time.

At this point Jang wei paused for a moment took a breath and then continued.

Moreover, according to your statement, there are basically no traces of the enemy near Sang Han City.

Considering the arrangement over at Shang Yuan City, it's very likely that the enemy came for a surprise attack.

After failing, they immediately retreated back to Sea City.

What do you think we should do? Wong Tong, who had been tense for two days, now felt drowsy as he relaxed, forcing himself to ask, "During my troops rest period, you should send out a reconnaissance team of 100 men to conduct a thorough search around Son City.

If they still can't find any signs of the enemy, it means they have truly retreated.

In that case, I will just need to continue with the original plan.

" Jang Wei's words were quite decisive.

Upon hearing this, Wong Tong felt speechless.

100 men.

Was that still called a reconnaissance team? That was practically a vanguard.

However, at this point, Wong Tong didn't te care much anymore.

Previously, he was worried about sending out too many people due to the limited troops in the city, fearing they would be intercepted and suffer losses, which would be detrimental to his defense later.

But now that reinforcements had arrived, this issue was obviously no longer a concern.

100 men would have to do.

He just wanted to quickly arrange things and then return to his residence for a good night.

as sleep.

The next morning, the 100 troops quickly dispersed.

Although they were just ordinary soldiers from the garrison and not trained reconnaissance troops, having 100 men was enough for them to complete a thorough search around Sanghan City, "Damn, how did this mess fall on us?" One soldier dressed in shield and axe gear from Song City walked anxiously along the road, muttering to himself, which made the soldier beside him visibly irritated, "Who told us we weren't on guard last night? Now those on guard are all asleep and this task has fallen to us.

Hasn't he it? Stop whining and hurry up.

Let us finish searching and get back quickly.

As they spoke the soldier had already looked around and said, "All right, nothing here.

Let us move to the next place.

" "Wait, we haven't t checked over there yet.

" "Over there?" The soldier frowned, looking impatiently in the direction pointed by the other soldier.

"What's over there? A few trees, a thicket, some rocks.

Do you think the outsiders are hiding in that thicket or up in those trees? With that, the soldier shook his head in disbelief and turned to leave while the other soldier clearly didn't te want to wander around alone in the wild and hurriedly followed him.

Time passed and soon it was nearing evening.

To quickly bring back the reconnaissance results to Song Hon City, the soldiers sent out for reconnaissance began to return at sunset.

By the time the sun had completely set, the entire wilderness had once again fallen silent until a strange bird call broke.

The quiet coup coo with a rhythmic call.

It seemed to send out some kind of signal.

Then, under the moonlight, the leaves of a large tree suddenly shook and a figure dressed in leaf camouflage gracefully jumped down from the tree.

while another figure also emerged from a thicket about 1 to 200 m to the left of the large tree following the guidance of the moonlight.

The figures moved towards one direction and once they gathered together, they discovered that there were actually a dozen people hidden in this area.

Chapter 278.

Marching the search results from the reconnaissance team reassured Gangi somewhat.

After resting for a night in Son City, he led 1,000 troops out of the city, planning to cover 70% of the distance on the first day while conserving the soldiers energy.

On the second day, which was a day of the attack, they would rush to Sona City, rest briefly, and then directly launch the siege.

Having formulated the plan, Jane Wei did not let his guard down.

He kept the soldiers vigilant along the way and dispatched reconnaissance troops to scout the surroundings.

However, it turned out that he seemed to be a bit overly anxious as there were no incidents along the route.

With 1,000 troops, he completed the first day of marching safely and soundly.

It seemed the enemy had indeed retreated back to Sea City, Jang Wei thought to himself.

The siege army outside Shang Yuan City was no joke.

Not to mention, they had already utilized siege towers.

Who would dare to ignore such a threat? Thinking of this, Jang Wei felt a bit more at ease, setting up camp for the night.

The calm night allowed him to relax his tense nerves even more.

Early the next morning, after letting the soldiers eat a bit of dry rations, the army began to advance again.

His marching efficiency was quite steady, according to the plan.

He estimated he would have about an hour to rest his troops before the siege at noon.

General, ahead is Si.

And indeed, that was the case.

Listening to a report from one of his soldiers, although it was before the battle, Jang Wei still sighed in relief, at least so far.

The entire plan had not encountered any errors.

He looked up to confirm the position of the sun in the sky.

There was still some time before noon.

Jang Wei waved his hand, signaling his soldiers to sit down, eat something, and rest for a while to make final preparations before the battle.

However, just at that moment, a series of piercing sounds suddenly reached Jangi's ears.

Before he could think, he saw a rain of arrows coming directly toward their disordered formation from the distant sky.

An ambush caught off guard by this sudden attack.

Jangi's troops suffered immediate casualties from the volley and the already disorganized formation became even more chaotic in an instant.

As the commanding general, Jang Wei was filled with shock and anger.

He never expected that the enemy would not be ambushed near Son City, but rather near Sun-ha City.

Everyone stay calm.

All shield and axe soldiers form a defensive formation to block the reign of arrows.

Halbert soldiers be aware of the infantry units attacking from the surroundings.

Jang wei swung his bronze sword to deflect the arrows shot at him while loudly giving orders.

At the same time, his gaze quickly swept over a unit of archers positioned on a distant high ground.

Damn, it was the terrain this unit of archers had hidden under the high ground.

using the elevation to affect their line of sight.

Although he figured out how this unit of archers had emerged, Jang Wei could not shake off his unease, who was the commanding general on the opposite side.

Why would they choose to set an ambush at this position? The siege army from Shang Yuan City was already pressing in.

Were they planning to abandon Sona City, or was this ambushing forced the city defense troops from the eastern border city? In an instant, Jang Wei's mind raced with thoughts.

But the enemy clearly had no intention of letting him think further.

As the archers revealed themselves and launched their attack, the ambushing shield and ax troops on the other side also charged out rapidly dressed in bronze armor.

Gujan led the charge at the front of the troops.

His gaze swept over Jang Wei, who was seated on horseback, and a flicker of disappointment crossed Gujun's eyes.

He was eager to kill the enemy general to vent his anger.

But regardless, as long as they were enemies, they had to be eliminated.

The ambushing forces waiting for him were more than Jang Wei had anticipated.

The moment the two side shield and axe soldiers collided, they nearly scattered the formation that Jang Wei had just managed to stabilize.

Alarmed, Jangi quickly began directing the shield and axe troops at the front to engage the enemy, while his mind grew even more puzzled.

So many troops.

Did these outsiders really intend to abandon Sona City? It was incomprehensible.

Songha City was a strategic location and abandoning it would mean losing at least half of the advantages they had accumulated in the early stages.

Wait, could it be? As thoughts raced through his mind, Giani quickly considered another possibility.
