Meanwhile, he secretly dispatched a talented young general to lead an elite force, preparing to seize Uto City at the opportune moment. At this very moment, far away in the city, Lin Feng remained completely unaware of these developments. Ever since he entered this city, he had been aimlessly passing the days, feeling utterly bored. He had only instructed his subordinates to continuously gather intelligence on any movements from Jing Kingdom, strictly ordering them to report back to him immediately if they detected any signs of activity.
On this day, the sun shone brightly, yet the atmosphere in the military camp was unusually tense. Just then, a soldier rushed in from outside the camp, calling out that he needed to see the general. Lin Feng was deep in thought about the next strategic deployment inside his tent when he heard the soldier's shouts. He immediately stood up and quickly exited the tent.
The soldier, panting heavily, knelt on one knee and cupped his fists in salute. "General, urgent news! A report just came in from outside."
Lin Feng furrowed his brow and said in a deep voice, "Do not panic; speak slowly. What has happened?"
The soldier took a deep breath to steady himself before replying, "Reporting to the general, Jing Emperor has issued an order for the troops at Liang Kingdom's border to retreat, and a large army is heading towards Uto City."
Lin Feng's heart leaped with joy as he thought to himself: It seems our plan has succeeded; the withdrawal is just as I anticipated. Since our strategic objective has been achieved, it is time to leave.
With this thought in mind, he asked with a serious expression, "Do you know how many troops the enemy is bringing?"
The soldier quickly responded, "According to our scouts, there are about thirty thousand enemy troops coming. Based on their marching speed, they are expected to arrive at Uto City within two days."
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng's heart sank. Thirty thousand troops were no small number; if they engaged in direct confrontation, it would be difficult for their side to withstand such an assault.
He made a swift decision and ordered his attendants nearby, "Quickly summon Generals Lu Yong and Mardu to discuss our military situation."
Before long, Lu Yong and Mardu hurried into the tent. The soldier did not dare delay and promptly relayed the intelligence he had just gathered to both generals.
After listening to the report, everyone’s expression turned grave. With thirty thousand enemy troops approaching, it seemed nearly impossible for their current garrison forces to defend the city.
Just as everyone was filled with concern, Lin Feng broke the silence. "There is no need for us to worry; we do not have to hold this city at all costs."
"Send my military orders and command all the Brave Soldiers to assemble at dawn tomorrow," Lin Feng said firmly.
The crowd fell silent, their faces showing confusion and uncertainty. Seeing Lin Feng's confident demeanor, as if he had everything under control, they ceased their inquiries and responded in unison, "Yes, General!"
The next morning, the military camp was already bustling with activity. Soldiers quickly packed their belongings and organized their weapons and equipment, preparing to embark on a new journey.
Before long, the army was fully assembled, with Lin Feng standing at the front of the ranks, looking dashing and resolute.
With a single command from him, the entire troop surged forward like arrows released from a bow, swiftly departing from Uto City. Their steps were synchronized, and their spirits were high, as if nothing could hinder their march.
The journey from Uto City to Tongguan was not an easy one. They still faced a long road ahead, approximately seven or eight days of travel awaited them.
