The Republic of China: A Letter of Appointment Creates the Most Powerful Warlord

"Marshal, the artillery is about to fire, we have to retreat quickly!" Jin Junli came to Zhang Ye anxiously, reported to him loudly and urged him to evacuate his current position as soon as possible.

Although they were standing at a considerable distance from the front line of fierce fighting, it would never be a wrong thing to be more cautious at this moment of war and rapidly changing situation.

After all, no one can guarantee that the enemy will not suddenly use powerful heavy artillery to increase the attack range. If such a situation really occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Just as Jin Junli finished speaking, a deafening roar was heard coming from far away.

Boom boom boom boom...

Immediately afterwards, the rebels' first line of defense at the forefront was instantly overwhelmed by overwhelming artillery shells.

In an instant, dust rose into the air like billowing yellow smoke, covering the sky and the sun, and raging flames shot straight into the sky.

Apart from the dense landing points of artillery shells and the flying debris of earth and rocks, there was no sign of life on the entire battlefield.

Half an hour later, at the rebel headquarters, Zhang Ye stood quietly at the door, holding an unburned cigarette in his hand, his brows furrowed, his eyes fixed on the battlefield in the distance that was still under constant bombardment.

Just as he was lost in thought, a soldier responsible for collecting intelligence came running all the way and rushed straight in front of him.

Running so fast, the soldier nearly stumbled and fell to the ground. Without even taking a breath, he spoke impatiently, "Marshal, something's not right! According to our latest intelligence analysis, the real target of these damned dwarfs might not be Quancheng!"

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, a look of deep surprise instantly appeared on Zhang Ye's face, which was originally as calm as water.

I saw him narrowing his eyes slightly, the corner of his mouth with the cigarette butt in his mouth slightly raised, and a trace of deep doubt flashed across his eyes without a trace.

After a brief pause, he chuckled and said, "The news of my presence in Quancheng cannot be hidden. Those guys will not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

The head of the intelligence team standing nearby nodded solemnly, then handed the latest information they had just received to Zhang Ye and analyzed it clearly, "We're not entirely clear on the situation at the moment, but judging by the enemy's unusual military movements and deployments, we can't rule out the possibility of them 'encircling and attacking reinforcements'!"

"Haha... It seems that these guys are determined to wipe out these rebels in one fell swoop!" Zhang Ye sneered, took the crucial intelligence document casually, lowered his head and began to look at it carefully and meticulously.

Just as his eyes swept across a key piece of information in the intelligence, he was suddenly startled. The enemy had actually sent out several smaller troops, and secretly set up ambushes on several main roads in Quancheng without anyone noticing.

At this moment, Zhang Ye couldn't help but have the same guess as that intelligence officer.

Apart from the strategic plan of "surrounding the point and attacking the reinforcements", he really couldn't think of what these dwarfs were trying to do.

If the other party just wanted to capture them, they would not have to go to the trouble of setting up an ambush along the way. They could simply sneak into the city and carry out a decapitation operation while the two armies outside the city were fighting fiercely and the situation was in chaos.

However, now, all the signs before us indicate that things are not as simple as they seem.

"Give this information to Jin Junli, and leave it to him to decide how to act next!" Zhang Ye held the information, frowned slightly, and a hint of hesitation appeared in his eyes.

After a brief contemplation, he finally made up his mind to leave the matter to Jin Junli and others.

After all, everyone has a unique way of thinking and adaptability, and perhaps letting them do it will bring unexpected gains.

Then, Zhang Ye slowly turned his head and cast a sharp gaze at Lu Shan who was standing beside him.

He lowered his voice and whispered to Lu Shan in a serious and cautious tone, "Immediately arrange for reliable personnel to quietly open up a hidden path. We must always be prepared to evacuate in order to deal with any possible emergencies!"

The reason for making such an arrangement is that Zhang Ye knows very well that the world is unpredictable and no one can accurately predict what action the enemy will take next.

Especially for those cunning dwarfs, if they secretly planned some sinister and cunning surprise attack plan, then this retreat route reserved in advance could become the key to their lives.

In this way, even if they encounter unexpected changes, they will be able to react quickly and have enough time and space to deal with it calmly, so that they will not be beaten by the enemy like headless flies, running away in a panic, and even unable to find a safe hiding place.

Of course, Zhang Ye had never considered the option of engaging in a head-on confrontation with the enemy from the beginning.

At this moment, the situation they face is extremely grim. Whether in terms of troop strength, weapons and equipment, they are far inferior to their opponents.

In this situation, if you choose to rush forward regardless of the consequences, it would be like a moth flying into a flame and seeking your own death.

"Don't worry, Marshal!" Lu Shan looked around cautiously. After making sure there was no one else around, he lowered his voice and responded carefully, "I've already arranged for people to prepare. This matter is absolutely safe and highly confidential. Even if it's the rebels, we have taken precautions!"

I have to say, this kid has always been so meticulous and thoughtful in doing things.

When Zhang Ye decided to stay and continue observing, he prepared for the future and began to carefully plan the subsequent retreat in advance, because he was worried that if there was any unexpected emergency, everyone would not be trapped in a desperate situation.

"Hey! That's a brilliant move!" Zhang Ye gave Lu Shan a thumbs-up with a smile on his face, praising him generously: "At critical moments, we really have to rely on our own people!"

Before he finished speaking, as if suddenly remembering something extremely important, he turned to look at the person in charge of gathering and transmitting intelligence and asked, "By the way, what's that Military Advisor Park doing now? The battle situation on the front lines is already utterly chaotic, and people's heads are about to be beaten into dog heads! Would he take advantage of this critical moment to turn against us and betray us?"

"There's no sign of betrayal yet." The intelligence officer shook his head slightly. A hint of doubt rose between his brows when he mentioned this man. "We have spies in his mansion, but the old man has been staying indoors all the time, hasn't seen anyone, and hasn't issued any orders. It's very strange!"
