Zongwu: Start as Jinyiwei, invincible and powerful!

Soon, the scout was brought before Lin Fan and Wang Shao.

Wang Shao asked anxiously, "What news have you found? Report it immediately."

The scout said respectfully, "We have discovered a Liao army fifty miles ahead, engaged in battle with the Northern Mang army. The Liao army is in a critical situation."

Lin Fan asked, "Do you know how many troops each side has?"

The scout said, "We don't know the exact number, but judging by their size, the Liao army and ours should be about the same number, around 100,000."

"As for the Northern Mang army, it's slightly smaller, but its combat power is terrifying, and the Liao army has no way of resisting it."

The scout had just returned to the military camp and had no idea that Lin Fan had arrived with another army of 30,000 warriors.

Wang Shao frowned slightly upon hearing this and asked Lin Fan, "Master Lin, what do you think we should do now?"

Lin Fan pondered for a moment and said, "Since we are here to support the Liao Kingdom, and now that the Liao army is being attacked by the Northern Mang army, it is natural for us to send troops to help."

Wang Shao said worriedly, "But, I'm worried..."

Wang Shao paused mid-sentence, glanced at the scouts and some guards nearby, and said, "You go down first."

"Yes, General!"

Upon hearing this, the scout and the soldiers guarding nearby responded respectfully and then retreated.

After they left, Wang Shao said to Lin Fan, "Sir Lin, I believe you are aware of the combat effectiveness of the Song army."

"If it were Shunfengzhang, it would be fine, but the war is not going well now. I'm afraid the Song army will not be able to help the Liao army if they go."

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Don't worry, General Wang. I naturally know the situation of the Song army."

"So this time, I will personally lead my 30,000 volunteers as the vanguard. After we achieve victory, you will lead the Song army to launch a counterattack against the Northern Mang army."

Wang Shao was shocked when he heard this. "This... the fighting power of the rebel army, is there any problem?"

In Wang Shao's opinion, the fighting power of the volunteer army that Lin Fan temporarily gathered might not even be as strong as that of the Song army.

After all, there is a big gap between the formation of this army and that of the regular army of the Song Dynasty.

"Don't worry, you will see the fighting power of this rebel army when the time comes!" Lin Fan said calmly.

"But..." Wang Shao was still a little worried after hearing this and wanted to say something else.

Lin Fan waved his hand, interrupting Wang Shao. "Alright, that's settled. Otherwise, is General Wang going to lead his Song army directly into a head-on confrontation with the Northern Mang army?"

Wang Shao's tone faltered when he heard Lin Fan's words. He could only say, "Then Lord Lin, be careful. Don't put yourself in danger."

Lin Fan was sent by the Great Zhou court, and was also the regent appointed by the previous emperor and the young emperor's uncle.

Wang Shao was worried that if anything happened to Lin Fan, the Great Zhou court would probably send troops to punish their Song State.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, General Wang. However, I value my life very much and will not put myself in danger."

"However, regarding logistical supplies, General Wang, please do not let down the rebels I brought with me."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shao immediately said, "Don't worry, Lord Lin. I will personally monitor the people below and will definitely not let them withhold food and wages."

Lin Fan nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Next, Lin Fan found Su Xinghe and others, explained the combat plan to them, and once again gathered the island masters of the thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands together to give them a lecture.

Afterwards, Lin Fan led 30,000 volunteers, had a hearty meal, and then headed straight north.

"General Wang, you and the Song army must not fall too far behind. Don't let the battle end before your Song army arrives."

Before leaving, Lin Fan said to Wang Shao half-jokingly.

Wang Shao said solemnly: "As long as the righteous army led by Lord Lin can really make a breakthrough, I will lead the Song army to the battlefield on time. Otherwise, I am willing to be subjected to military law!"

Lin Fan smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go!"

Among these 30,000 troops, 15,000 are death warriors rewarded by the system, and the other 15,000 are from the 36 caves and 72 islands.

Their lives are completely in Lin Fan's hands.

Therefore, at Lin Fan's command, the 30,000-strong army marched forward without any delay.

Lin Fan led an army composed entirely of warriors, and their physical strength was naturally much superior to that of ordinary armies.

In less than half a day, the 30,000-strong army arrived at the place where the Northern Mang and Liao armies were fighting, as reported by the scouts.

During this period, we also took a break.

The place where the two sides fought was a vast plain with a very wide view.

Therefore, when Lin Fan arrived with an army of 30,000, both the Liao Kingdom and the Northern Mang discovered this army flying the flag of the Song Dynasty.

The Northern Mang side also received news that the Great Zhou was preparing to support the Liao Kingdom.

Originally, the commander of Beimang was somewhat worried when he saw the Liao army's reinforcements arriving.

However, after recognizing that the other side was the Song army, they immediately felt relieved.

When they saw the number of the enemy troops, they felt more at ease.

As for the Liao Kingdom, it had always looked down on the Song Kingdom. When it saw that the Great Zhou had only sent the Song army, and there were only 30,000 of them, it was disappointed.

In the Liao army camp, the Liao army's chief general, Yelu Xiong, learned that the only support they had was the Song army, and that there were only 30,000 of them. He couldn't help but frown and said in a cold voice:

"It seems that the Great Zhou has no idea of ​​the principle of "lips and teeth are cold". We can no longer rely on the Great Zhou. If all else fails, I think our Liao Kingdom should simply choose to surrender to either the Northern Mang or the Northern Yuan."

Yelu Hong, who was sent as an envoy to the Great Zhou, was also in the military tent at this time. Upon hearing Yelu Xiong's words, he stepped forward and said:

"General, the Great Zhou sent the Song army here simply because they are closer and can provide support more quickly. They promised to send the army they sent on the previous eastern expedition to provide support later."

"Moreover, the one leading the army this time is the Minister of War of the Great Zhou, the regent of the imperial court, and the father-in-law of the young emperor. I heard that he is very good at fighting. We might as well see the results of the battle against him first."

Yelu Xiong snorted coldly, "What's so powerful about them? Those Central Plains people have always been powerful only against their own people."

"This time, the Northern Mang army he faces is no match for the Sui Dynasty's rebel forces. Well, let's see how capable Lin Fan is!"

Lin Fan naturally didn't know that he was being looked down upon by both warring parties.

After arriving at the edge of the battlefield, Lin Fan took a look at the formations of both sides, then said to Su Xinghe:

"Go to the Liao army camp in person and tell them that we will attack the Northern Mang army from the left wing, and have them support from the right wing later. After you've conveyed this message, return directly. It doesn't matter whether they follow your orders or not."

"Yes, Master!" Su Xinghe agreed respectfully, and then went to pass on the order.

After Su Xinghe left, Lin Fan pointed his sword diagonally and shouted, "All troops, attack!"

As soon as the voice fell, Lin Fan took the lead and headed towards the Beimang army!
