Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Linghu Yuan is Qian Wanli's confidant and one of his most capable generals.

But even Linghu Yuan looked unhappy when he heard the news, because he knew how heavy this order was.

"General...if we proactively attacked the railway tracks and killed their transport team, it would mean we would really be going to war with Daqian."

Others may not know about Daqian’s strength, but how could they in the Western Regions not know it?

If they were really dragged into this situation, the situation would become extremely difficult.

The chances of winning the war will be very slim.

But Linghu Yuan was a subordinate general and didn't know a lot of core information.

Only Qian Wanli understood that Qin Ming had actually been killed long ago.

Everything we are doing now is just a supplement to the battlefield.

If they really wanted to attack the Western Regions, they would have already arranged troops here.

It is impossible to specifically support a force to replace Daqian and help them rule the Western Regions.

Ultimately, it's all about fame and fortune.

After considering various factors, Qian Wanli judged that Daqian still wanted the Datong sect to represent this war.

They won’t actually send troops here.

To do so would damage their reputation.

With Daqian's strength, there is really no need to damage its reputation in a small Western Region.

"Don't worry, go and beat them, but don't let the tanks get in."

"I'm going to give you 30,000 men this time. You must block all their roads."

"Yes!"

Linghu Yuan looked at Qian Wanli's determined eyes and realized his determination. Since that was the case, he naturally didn't say much.

That night, their troops numbered tens of thousands.

The railway lines built by Daqian were blown up at multiple points.

Although they had said at the beginning that these rails must not be moved.

After all, this also concerns future trade between the two sides.

But the war has reached a fever pitch, and both sides have revealed their true intentions.

It would be unreasonable to still take care of their rails at this time.

Soon, the news of the destroyed railway tracks was reported to Daqian through the channels of various chambers of commerce.

The news was quickly reported in newspapers.

This further intensified the anger of the people.

Incidentally, this also gave Qin Ming and his transport troops more motivation to send troops at will.

However, what surprised Linghu Yuan was that he had been wandering around outside for two days and had not seen any of Daqian's transport troops.

In desperation, he had to leave his troops where they were, personally led a few people back to the camp on horseback, and informed Qian Wanli of the news.

"General, I have blown up all their railroad tracks, but there is one strange thing..."

"What's strange?"

"It's like this. I've arranged for more than a dozen troops to search along the railway tracks over the past few days. Besides the railway tracks, there are also various official roads."

"I have arranged for people in every location to report to me immediately if they sense their transport troops approaching."

"But what's strange is that in the past few days, Daqian's troops haven't made any moves at all. There's not even a trace of transportation."

After Linghu Yuan told Qian Wanli everything he had seen and heard, Qian Wanli also fell into confusion.

"How is this possible? Since they want to support the Datong Sect, they should at least send the supplies as soon as possible..."

At this time, they hadn't even reacted yet.

Before giving this order, Qin Ming had actually already transported all the things to the headquarters.

Just wait for a suitable opportunity and you can send it directly to the battlefield.

The court's decision publicized in the newspaper was the opportunity he had been waiting for.

"If they haven't delivered it yet, forget it. You should send half of the men stationed on the various official roads and railroads and station them in Tianwuze according to the original route."

Qian Wanli couldn't figure this out, so he decided not to hesitate any longer.

There is a saying that goes, "Speed ​​is the essence of war."

They have now occupied the edge of the swamp.

The next step is to lead people to explore the interior and set up base.

The more areas you can control, the more you can attack and defend in the future.

When the decisive battle comes with Qin Ming, the advantage gap between the two sides will become greater!

They must occupy this area before Qin Ming's support arrives.

Only then can we take advantage of the time and place to fight Qin Ming.

Although this war may be difficult, if we can make good use of this swamp.

Qian Wanli believes he still has a chance of winning!

After all, Qin Ming is a human, not a god, and it is impossible for him to be more familiar with the Western Regions than himself!

"it is good!"

Linghu Yuan did not dare to delay and set out again with a group of troops that night.

He entered Tianwu Lake with several other generals.

It was just a coincidence that the route he chose happened to be the location where Elder Song had buried the mines.

That night they groped their way into the swamp and established a route for transporting supplies.

Suddenly, a wailing sound came from the troops on the front line!

"what happened!?"

Linghu Yuan was also a little scared, after all, they now knew that Daqian was behind the Datong Sect.

He knew the opponent's combat capability very well.

If possible, he did not want to have a head-on confrontation with the enemy, but his luck was so bad that the vanguard troops advancing in front seemed to have encountered an enemy attack.

"General, there are mines ahead!"

Followed by a loud shout.

Linghu Yuan's eyes suddenly widened.

"How is this possible? When did they plant mines? And this is a swamp. Even if they did, they wouldn't go off."

Linghu Yuan knew that Daqian had weapons like landmines.

But the swamp is muddy and wet, how could it be buried here?

"I do not know!"

Everyone was very surprised. They didn't know why there were landmines ahead, but the advancing troops actually stepped on them, and hundreds of people were injured.

"Take me over there and have a look."

Linghu Yuan, who was a little skeptical, got off his horse directly.

He also arranged for his men to take him to the edge of the area that had just been bombed by mines.

Under his arrangement, several soldiers reluctantly sent their war horses over.

The sound of a few whip cracks echoed crisply on the horse's back.

Their horses were instantly frightened.

Keep running forward.

Soon, a muffled thunder was heard from the ground.

At the same time, their horses that were galloping forward were instantly blown into the sky, with blood and flesh splattered everywhere.

"This this……"

Linghu Yuan could hardly believe his eyes. He had personally robbed Daqian's transport troops in the past few days.

He knew clearly that the other side had no transport troops entering at all!

The Datong sect has never used this thing.

So when were these mines delivered?

Is this a ghost?
