"Teacher, there's something I don't understand."
As the army marched, Li Cunxiao suddenly spoke.
Bai Feng smiled.
"Feel free to speak."
Li Cunxiao nodded slightly and said,
"Teacher, why aren't we staying under Marshal Yue's tent for a few days? Why are we leaving?"
"Wouldn't using Marshal Yue's Yan City as a stronghold to attack Linying be more stable?"
In truth, Li Cunxiao had wanted to ask Bai Feng this question from the start.
If that was the case, Yue Fei would probably trust them even more, and things would be much simpler.
If they were to leave and ask for provisions, wouldn't they be eroding Yue Fei's trust?
What if Yue Fei didn't trust them?
If they did this, they would be suspected of being spies for the Jin!
Bai Feng shook his head.
"If that's the case, aren't you worried that Zhao Gou will put pressure on Yue Fei?
"If Zhao Gou finds out about letting unknown soldiers fight on the front lines and using a Song Dynasty city as a stronghold, he will definitely use this as a crime to restrict Marshal Yue.
"If we separate and develop from Linying, which has already been occupied by the Jin Men, it will be much better than the current situation."
"Moreover, as long as Marshal Yue doesn't report our existence to the Jin or subtly informs Song Gaozong, nothing will happen."
Upon hearing Bai Feng's words, Li Cunxiao nodded thoughtfully.
Indeed, if they were to do as he said, it would be even more inappropriate to work under Yue Fei.
Moreover, Li Cunxiao didn't like the feeling of living under someone else's roof.
Bai Feng's actions had changed them from living under someone else's roof to fighting alongside him. This way, he would be able to gain Yue Fei's trust.
"But Teacher, how should we fight these one hundred and twenty thousand Jin soldiers?
"From our last clash, we can see that they are far stronger than the Qiang."
Li Cunxiao couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
Although Li Cunxiao could still kill these Jin soldiers, he was still able to do so.
But he could clearly sense that the Jin soldiers were far stronger than the Qiang soldiers.
Most of these soldiers were well-trained and had great teamwork. They didn't look like barbarians at all. It was no wonder that they weren't a tribe but had established a country.
With the addition of the Northern Mansion Army, Li Cunxiao was confident that he would be able to kill at least twenty to thirty thousand Qiang soldiers before escaping.
"It doesn't matter. Although these Jin soldiers are strong, they are not invulnerable."
"They are too arrogant and conceited. If we take advantage of this, we will be able to make them suffer a great defeat."
Bai Feng said with a faint smile.
Were the Jin soldiers strong?
He was indeed very strong.
However, the Jin soldiers had just wiped out the Liao Kingdom and were brimming with confidence.
However, even at this stage, it was enough to claim their lives.
As the saying goes, arrogant soldiers are bound to be defeated. This was one of the reasons why they had never been able to defeat Yue Fei.
In their eyes, the Song Nation's army was just a bunch of clay chickens and pottery dogs. They only needed to sweep through the entire Southern Song Nation.
However, after being successfully resisted by Yue Fei, they immediately felt extremely uncomfortable.
To them, even being resisted was a mistake.
If such an army encountered an army that was much stronger than them, the outcome was self-evident.
…
Yan City was not far from Linying City, but it was not close either.
Bai Feng did not advance rashly along the way. Instead, he observed the situation as he advanced.
After all, this was the territory of the Jin people. It was very likely that they would encounter some Jin soldiers. If that happened, they would be in big trouble.
Although Bai Feng wanted to fight them head-on, now was not the time.
The most important thing now was to ensure that there were no Jin soldiers other than the enemies in Linying City.
As expected, after marching for a day, just as they were about to reach the outskirts of Linying City, Bai Feng saw a group of Jin soldiers not far away. They were rushing towards him in a grandiose manner.
Bai Feng could not help but narrow his eyes and carefully observe these soldiers.
The attire of these soldiers was very similar to that of the Wanyan Zongbi army. However, they were not the Wanyan Zongbi army.
This was because the flag of this group of Jin soldiers was different from that of the Wanyan Zongbi.
"Sir, could it be that there are other Jin soldiers other than the Wanyan Zongbi?"
Li Cunxiao could not help but frown as he narrowed his eyes at the group of Jin soldiers in front of him.
"Let's hide for now and try not to clash with them here."
"Linying City is nearby. It's hard to say if these are the advance troops of the Wanyan Zongbi."
Bai Feng and the rest were currently in the dense forest and had not yet set out.
These Jin soldiers could not see the situation inside.
Therefore, he had not been exposed yet.
There were about twenty to thirty thousand Jin soldiers. They were all infantry and did not have any cavalry. Their marching speed was not fast.
"Look at the map. Where is this place?"
Bai Feng asked in a deep voice.
Li Cunxiao quickly looked at the map in his hand.
"This place is about twenty miles away from Linying City."
"But the strange thing is that the closest place is not Linying City, but a place called Wulidian."
Wulidian?
Bai Feng could not help but be taken aback.
Wasn't Wulidian the place where Yue Fei defeated the Jin soldiers?
There were soldiers stationed here. It seemed that this was the army that was defeated by Yue Fei in history.
The commander of this Golden Man army was called Ali Duo Jin.
This guy was not famous in history. The only record of him was that he was defeated by Yue Fei at Wulidian and died here.
However, Ali Duo Jin was one of Wanyan Zongbi's most trusted generals. He was definitely not weak.
Moreover, when Yue Fei was defeated, he also paid a heavy price.
Although this person only had twenty to thirty thousand soldiers, his combat strength was not to be underestimated.
This was a parallel world. The troops would adjust according to the strength of their own troops.
After all, they were not Qiang people and could directly charge forward to fight.
"Twenty miles..."
Bai Feng could not help but narrow his eyes.
"Let's observe their movements first."
"Find a chance to kill them all."
Bai Feng narrowed his eyes. His gaze became extremely sharp.
"Yes, sir!"
Li Cunxiao immediately received the order and ordered all the soldiers to deploy.
This was because Ali Duo Jin's troops were now marching towards the dense forest!
"If I'm not wrong, they want to ambush Marshal Yue's troops."
Bai Feng finally understood.
Although this incident would not happen in history for a few months.
However, due to his appearance, some things should be changed.
For example, the timing of Ali Duo Jin's attack had been greatly increased.
However, this was not a bad thing for Bai Feng.
Since they were here to attack and there were no reinforcements around.
