Chapter 560: Chapter 560 The Army Pressures the Territory (4)_1

The grain and grocery stores are steadfast supporters and could remain open all day. In addition, places like taverns could operate around the clock.

Seeing that he didn’t have to intervene, Lin Ziyin felt completely at ease.

The public was very cooperative. Perhaps life in the border town was not easy, and the people of the Northern Land cherished their living environment more and felt a stronger sense of belonging to the Northern Land. All the orders issued by the officialdom were executed by everyone according to the rules.

As soon as it was past noon, there were hardly any pedestrians on the streets. The citizens staying at home each prepared various "battle weapons", ranging from hoes, sickles to kitchen knives.

The spontaneous behavior of the public to protect their home could not be separated from Situ Gong’s policy of pacification.

"What do you need the carriage team for?" Hong Ying couldn’t help but ask.

"There might be a big battle in a few days." Lin Ziyin gave a non sequitur reply.

Hong Ying and Lun Luo looked at each other. Although they didn’t understand her intention, they still obeyed her orders and sent a message through a carrier pigeon as soon as Jue Hui returned.

Three days later, the army of the North Country arrived outside the city, as expected, and set up camp thirty miles away.

"Lege has just arrived, the army is still exhausted, launch a night attack immediately," Chu Suifeng ordered.

"Just send a small squad." Situ Gong said.

Inside the camp, all the generals and strategists began to express their opinions.

That night, a small squad wearing dark clothes quietly set off from the border city, heading for the enemy’s camp.

"Brothers, just set the supplies on fire and leave," the leader of the squad ordered quietly.

"Yes." over a dozen men in black replied in low voices.

These men huddled in the dark, observing the enemy camp, and found that the Tatars were quite vigilant. There were soldiers carrying weapons everywhere in the camp.

"It’s just ahead." Suddenly, someone said with surprise.

Everyone saw the tightly-covered supplies and were overjoyed, "Go!"

They silently approached and instantly took down two patrolling soldiers.

A few shadows quickly used torches to set fire to the supplies, "Let’s go."

Once successful, they immediately left. The National Master had said, not to be greedy.

"You want to leave? There is no way out." Suddenly, a laughter echoed, followed by the torches being lit around them.

"Damn, it’s a trap." The leader of the men in black was taken aback. However, he quickly calmed down, "Brothers, fight for your lives. Anyone who gets a chance must escape."

"Got it."

"No one is allowed to leave." Vanguard Timur stared mockingly at the men out in the light, then waved his hand, "Shoot arrows."

Those apt for nighttime attacks are naturally nimble. The men in black reacted with swift agility, wielding their weapons to fend off the incoming arrows as the rain of arrows fell upon them.

"Charge!"

"Kill!"

A fierce battle immediately ensued.

At this moment, the sound of charging drums sounded not far away.

"Damn, the Northern Land army is launching a night attack, prepare at once." Timur’s voice rose, and the North Country soldiers were immediately thrown into confusion.

"Don’t panic." A dark-skinned man emerged, Timur saw him and paid his respects, "National Master."

"Situ Gong and Chu Suifeng wouldn’t be so foolish, even if there are troops coming out, it may not necessarily be the main force." The man with the black face was none other than Lege, the military advisor of the North Country.

"Master National Teacher, I have already dispatched troops to deal with the enemy." A burly man stepped forward, this man was Bayal, the chief commander of the North Country.
