Chapter 887: The Vanguard Sets Out (Part 2)

The day after Deng Jiaer returned to the vanguard camp, Su Cheng led the main force to Fuka City.

After Su Cheng led the main force to Fuka City, he took over the vanguard position and the task of besieging Fuka City.

After handing over the task of siegeing Fuka City to Su Cheng and the main force, the vanguard troops under the command of Deng Jiaer broke out and marched eastward.

Their destination was a hill.

A hill that Deng Jiaer accidentally discovered on the road when he went to inquire about the Xilan Army's intelligence.

According to Deng Jiaer's plan, the vanguard troops will camp on this hill and establish a blocking position to face the Xilan army...

…

…

After the vanguard began to move, the scouts responsible for monitoring its movements hurriedly passed this important information back to Nikita's desk.

These days, Xilan's army has been stationed in place, recovering the strength of the generals while collecting intelligence.

Regarding the intelligence that the vanguard of the Eastern Route Army had begun to move, Nikita attached great importance to it and hurriedly summoned the senior generals in the army to hold a military meeting.

"Two days ago, the vanguard troops of the East Route Army, with a total strength of more than 10,000 people, began to move."

After the military meeting began, Nikita did not have any greetings with the generals in front of him, but bluntly told them the latest information.

"Not only has the vanguard of the Eastern Route Army been moved, but the location of the main force of the Eastern Route Army has also been detected."

As soon as Nikita finished speaking, a general sitting not far from him said excitedly:

"Have you found the location of the main force of the East Route Army? Where is the main force of the East Route Army now?"

These days, they have been stationed in place and collecting intelligence.

In collecting intelligence, the most important task of the scouts is to confirm the approximate location of the main force of the Britannia Army's Eastern Route Army.

It goes without saying how dangerous it would be to advance rashly without even knowing the approximate location of the main force of the Eastern Route Army.

The main force of the Eastern Route Army, whose approximate location is unknown, is like a sword hanging over the head of Xilan's army, which will suddenly strike down at who knows when and where.

Precisely because it was so dangerous to be unable to confirm the location of the main force of the Eastern Route Army, the generals were so happy after hearing that their approximate location was finally confirmed.

As soon as the general finished speaking, Nikita nodded and continued:

"According to the intelligence gathered by the scouts, the total strength of the main force of the East Route Army is approximately 60,000 to 80,000 people."

"They finally showed up two days ago, at the gate of Fuka City."

"Two days ago?" At this moment, a general who was keen on numbers frowned and said, "Two days ago... wasn't this the day when the vanguard of the East Route Army started moving?"

"That's right. After the main force arrived at Fuka City, the vanguard troops handed over the task of besieging Fuka City to the main force."

"And I started to move, heading east."

"In other words, the troops besieging Fuka City have now changed from the vanguard force to the main force."

"And where the vanguard is going is still unknown. We only know that they are coming east."

Having said this, Nikita paused for a moment, as if thinking about something.

After a short moment of silence, he then said in a deep voice:

"My guess is that the target of the vanguard should be us.

The enemy's vanguard intends to attack us. "

"What?!" As soon as Nikita finished speaking, many generals present exclaimed in unison.

"The vanguard came to the east to meet us - this hypothesis is very likely." Nikita then said in a deep voice, "If they didn't come to meet us, then I really don't understand why they It will suddenly come to the east."

"But, but, Commander." A general raised his doubts, "According to the intelligence from the scouts, isn't the total strength of the East Route Army's vanguard force only more than 10,000 people? They want to fight with this force alone. us?"

The total strength of the East Route Army's vanguard force was only over 10,000.

And they have a total of 50,000 combat troops.

Although 10,000 of these 50,000 people are new recruits who cannot fight and can only build up their momentum, there are still 40,000 elite Central Guard soldiers.

Anyone who has studied arithmetic can figure out who has the greater advantage.

Therefore, after Nikita put forward the idea that "the vanguard force is here to meet them", many generals expressed doubts about this.

Listening to the questions of these generals, Nikita sighed silently.

"Quiet."

Nikita's voice was not loud.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the tent quickly became quiet.

Everyone turned their heads and turned their attention to Nikita, waiting for Nikita to speak.

After everyone fell silent and turned their attention to him, Nikita continued in a deep voice:

"No matter whether the enemy's vanguard is coming to attack us or not, we cannot take it lightly."

"We've been here a long time and it's time to start moving,"

"As long as we get closer, we can know whether the enemy's vanguard is really coming to attack us."

"After this meeting is over, you will go to your respective units and convey orders to the soldiers to prepare to break camp and march."

All the generals: "Yes!"

"To be honest, I'm looking forward to the enemy's vanguard really coming to meet us."

At this point, Nikita's face showed a faint smile.

"After all, the enemy's vanguard is only more than 10,000 people, and I have 50,000 people."

"50,000 vs. 10,000, the advantage is on me."

After listening to Nikita's somewhat playful words, the generals in the tent burst into laughter.

...

...

This meeting was not long.

After informing the generals to prepare to move the camp, Nikita dissolved the temporary meeting.

As soon as the generals left the big tent, the smile on Nikita's face slowly changed.

From a smile to a bitter smile.

Then he sighed lightly.

It was indeed as he said just now, he was somewhat looking forward to the enemy's vanguard really coming to meet them.

But while looking forward to it, he was a little scared.

He was a little afraid that the enemy's vanguard commander-Deng Jiaer had prepared a trick to deal with them, so he dared to challenge him with only 10,000 people with 50,000 troops.

However, compared to this, Nikita was more afraid.

That was - the vanguard's commander had been secretly replaced.

It had been secretly replaced from Deng Jiaer to Su Cheng.

This was Nikita's biggest fear.

If Su Cheng was to lead the troops, Nikita would be terrified even if it was more than 1,000 people, let alone more than 10,000 people.

If Su Cheng really led the troops to fight him, no matter how many troops Su Cheng brought, Nikita would not be surprised or surprised.

Nikita could only pray in his heart: the vanguard's commander must not be changed, must not be changed...

As long as the vanguard's commander was still Deng Jiaer, even if she prepared a trick to deal with him, Nikita was still confident that he could win the battle.

Decades of military service gave Nikita enough confidence.

He didn't believe he would lose to an unknown 18-year-old girl.
