Chapter 191 Someone Outside the City
Long Yi and Long Er hurried over to report.
"Mr. Mo, Madam, we just received news that our people found someone camping ten miles outside the city. The camp is quite large and it seems that there are quite a few people." There was a hint of anxiety and worry in Long Er's tone.
"Who is the leader?" Mo Tianyu frowned slightly, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
"I heard that he is a general named Li Qing. I have never heard of this man's name before, and I don't know his background." Long Er answered respectfully.
Hearing this, Ye Zirou tilted her head slightly and asked, "Does Tianyu know this person?"
"I don't know him. Maybe he was newly canonized in recent years." Mo Tianyu said after thinking for a moment.
A look of confusion appeared on his face, and his mind was full of questions about this sudden appearance of Li Qing.
"Who cares? If he knows what's good for him and retreats voluntarily, we will let him go. If he insists on seeking death, we will make sure he never returns."
There was a gleam of ruthlessness in Ye Zirou's eyes, and she spoke in a firm tone.
Her words were full of arrogance, as if she was not afraid of any invading enemy.
"Ah."
Mo Tianyu nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with Ye Zirou's statement.
Ye Zirou turned around and gave instructions to Long Yi and Long Er.
“Long Yi and Long Er, tell Brother Jiang and his men to step up patrols and make sure every corner is covered. Any suspicious signs must be reported promptly.
Have Xiao Fangcai and his sniper team prepare for combat, have the soldiers be alert and ready to fight at any time, you guys go down and prepare as well, and follow me to the city wall later to take a look."
At the same time, Li Qing was also preparing for the attack.
He sent out scouts to try to find the weak links in Tianzi City's defense.
His eyes were full of confidence and determination, as if victory in the war was already in his grasp.
Although he was well aware of Mo Tianyu's power, he felt that Mo Tianyu was no match for him, a rising star.
He believed that with his own strength and wisdom, he would be able to capture Tianzi City and make great military achievements for the country.
He called several capable lieutenants to discuss the next course of action.
"Everyone, we must act cautiously when attacking Tianzi City this time. Although Mo Tianyu is famous, we must not be afraid of him.
We must make full use of our advantages in manpower and equipment to find the best time to attack." Li Qing's eyes were firm and his voice was steady and powerful.
The deputy generals nodded in agreement.
One of the deputy generals said: "General, we can first conduct a detailed survey of the terrain around Tianzi City, find out the terrain advantages that can be used, and formulate a more accurate battle plan."
Another deputy general also put forward his own suggestion: "We can also send some spies into the city to collect intelligence and understand Mo Tianyu's troop deployment and defense measures."
Li Qing listened to the suggestions of his deputy generals and gradually came up with a more complete battle plan in his mind.
He gave the order: "According to what was just said, act immediately. The team that surveys the terrain must set out as soon as possible, and the spies must be smart and reliable. They must bring back useful intelligence to me in the shortest possible time."
Meanwhile, on the Tianzi City side, Ye Zirou led Long Yi, Long Er and others to the city wall in a heroic manner.
After climbing up the city wall, Ye Zirou narrowed her eyes slightly, and raised the telescope together with Mo Tianyu, looking solemnly at Li Qing's camp in the distance. The continuous tents were clearly visible.
"It seems that Li Qing came prepared." Ye Zirou frowned slightly and said in a serious tone.
At this time, Ye Zirou and Mo Tianyu almost simultaneously saw a person sneaking towards them.
"Someone is coming." Mo Tianyu said in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the approaching figure, his heart full of vigilance.
Although his voice was not loud, it instantly made the atmosphere around them tense.
Everyone suddenly became nervous, everyone clenched their weapons, staring at the person who was getting closer and closer.
"Little Fang, it's up to you." Ye Zirou tilted her head slightly and looked with a smile at Zheng Fangxing who was already ready for battle.
Zheng Fangxing had a determined look on his face. He had already set up his sniper rifle and was waiting quietly.
He nodded slightly and responded, "Don't worry, Sister Ye, if there is any threat, I will make sure he has no way back."
Zheng Fangxing's finger rested lightly on the trigger, his eyes fixed on the sight, waiting attentively for Ye Zirou's order.
Ye Zirou stared at the man intently.
"Xiao Fangxing." Ye Zirou made a shooting gesture while speaking.
Zheng Fangxing's eyes suddenly became stern, and he pulled the trigger hard. With a loud "bang", the bullet flew out like lightning and hit the man accurately. The man fell to the ground.
"Beautiful!" Ye Zirou praised.
As the enemy fell, cheers broke out on the city wall.
"Well done, Xiao Fangxing!" Mo Tianyu patted Zheng Fangxing on the shoulder, his eyes full of appreciation.
Zheng Fangxing smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Mo."
However, in the camp where Li Qing was, when the sudden noise was heard, it disappeared without a trace in an instant.
At first, everyone did not take it seriously and continued to concentrate on discussing their battle strategies.
Time passed minute by minute, and after a long time, someone finally came to his senses.
"Where is the soldier who went to investigate?"
At this moment, everyone realized as if they had just woken up from a dream that the soldier had been gone for a long time.
An atmosphere of uneasiness began to spread, as if a dark cloud was hanging over everyone's heart.
"You! Go and see what's going on!"
As the order was given, a soldier immediately took the order and left.
He ran towards the direction of the sound with quick steps, praying silently in his heart that no unexpected situation would occur.
The entire camp fell into tension and silence. Everyone was quietly waiting for news, their mood becoming increasingly heavy.
The assigned soldier walked quickly in the direction the soldier was heading, his heart filled with anxiety and confusion.
Along the way, he carefully observed the surrounding situation, fearing that he might encounter any accidents.
But he was stunned by the scene before him—his companion was lying in a pool of blood, already dead.
His face turned pale and he trembled as he reported the bad news to Li Qing.
At the same time, Zheng Fangxing suddenly spoke: "Sister Ye, look! There seems to be another person coming over there."
Hearing this, Ye Zirou quickly raised the telescope in her hand again and began to observe carefully in that direction.
"Sister Ye, do you want to shoot him?"
However, Ye Zirou shook her head.
"No, he's here to look for someone, let him go back."
After receiving Ye Zirou's instructions, Zheng Fangxing, who had been holding the trigger tightly and was full of vigilance, slowly loosened his fingers.
