Lu Yong hurriedly approached Lin Feng, his expression serious as he reported, "General, after a fierce battle, the enemy has been repelled!"
Lin Feng nodded slightly. His deep and piercing gaze scanned the surroundings before he waved his hand gently, signaling his guards to step back.
Once the crowd dispersed, Lin Feng and Lu Yong stepped into the spacious tent together.
As soon as they entered, Lin Feng eagerly asked, "Uncle, what exactly happened?"
Lu Yong took a deep breath, steadying himself before responding, "In the depths of the night, a small team of agile and well-trained soldiers suddenly emerged from the shadows. Judging by their movements and targets, it seems their purpose was to seize our supplies."
Hearing this, Lin Feng felt a jolt of shock and silently blamed himself for neglecting to take precautions against an enemy raid on their provisions. His brow furrowed as he quickly inquired, "What is the current situation with the supplies? Were they defended?"
Lu Yong's face showed difficulty as he sighed helplessly. "In the heat of battle, our Brave Soldiers were solely focused on repelling the enemy. By the time we stabilized the situation and checked on the supplies, we found that a large portion had already been burned."
As he spoke, Lu Yong shook his head, his face filled with regret.
Lin Feng's expression darkened further at this news. He pressed urgently, "How much supply is left? Can it sustain our army's needs moving forward?"
After a moment of silence, Lu Yong slowly raised his head and replied gravely, "According to rough estimates, what remains is only enough to last for three days."
This sudden night raid struck Lin Feng like a bolt from the blue, leaving him in disbelief. He widened his eyes in shock, unable to comprehend how Hulanmu could pull off such a maneuver. He had always believed that Uto City was too preoccupied with its own troubles to consider anything else; reality had delivered a heavy blow to his assumptions.
Hulanmu, this seasoned veteran of many battles, truly lived up to his reputation! This move was indeed unexpected and difficult to guard against.
Faced with this unforeseen situation, Lin Feng's mind became a whirlwind of confusion as various thoughts surged like a tide, leaving him momentarily at a loss.
However, he understood that in such critical moments, it was essential to remain calm and rational. Taking a deep breath, he worked to steady his frantic heart and sought a glimmer of strategy amidst the chaos.
Standing beside him, Lu Yong furrowed his brow in worry and said, "Right now, our rations are only enough for three days. If we don't come up with a better plan soon, we might starve here before the enemy even arrives."
Lin Feng was well aware of this grim reality, but at that moment, what clever scheme could he devise?
For a time, both men fell silent; the atmosphere was so tense it felt as if it could drip with water.
As time passed second by second, when everyone was feeling despair, Lin Feng suddenly had a bright idea. He slapped his thigh excitedly and exclaimed, "That's right! We may not have food, but Uto City does!"
Hearing this, Lu Yong was momentarily taken aback, then hesitantly asked, "That may be true, but the food is inside the city. How are we supposed to get our hands on it?"
Lin Feng furrowed his brow and pondered for a moment before slowly replying, "Let me think this through carefully. But before that, give the order to reduce the rations for the Brave Soldiers. We need to conserve as much as possible for emergencies."
After saying this, he shook his head helplessly, clearly feeling quite troubled by the current situation.
On the towering walls of Uto City, Hulanmu stood like a statue. His weathered face was illuminated by the moonlight, making him appear even more resolute. His eyes were fixed intently on the distant horizon outside the city, as if he could penetrate the darkness and see everything clearly.
Today, Hulanmu had meticulously planned and dispatched a team of elite soldiers with the purpose of testing the rumored Fourth Prince's military capabilities.
As time ticked away and night deepened, the entire world fell into a tranquil silence. Suddenly, a faint flicker of firelight appeared on the distant horizon.
