Chapter 132: Found the fleeing officers and soldiers

"General."

On the way, Zhuo Zilin met the team of spies who had returned to report military information.

The spy captain reported the situation to him.

"Well, what's the situation you found out?" Zhuo Zilin dismounted and handed the horse to the guard next to him.

The spy captain cupped his hands and said, "We found that those officers and soldiers, as well as Mr. Zhao's personal guards, are indeed with the people of Jackdaw Town."

"They guarded the position of the mountain pass, built fortifications, and prepared a large amount of defensive materials."

"It looks like they are preparing to resist us."

Zhuo Zilin frowned after hearing what the spy captain said.

"It seems they know that we want to eliminate them."

"It seems so."

"Then did you see any symptoms or anything like that in them?"

The spy captain was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, shook his head and said: "General, according to our observations, they are all in good condition, and they don't look like they are infected."

"oh?"

Zhuo Zilin nodded and said, "I understand. You can go back and report to General Zhao."

"yes."

The spy captain led his team and left Zhuo Zilin's forward army to find Zhao Chong.

A general next to Zhuo Zilin said: "General, it seems they are preparing to resist."

"Um."

"General, with our strength, it is more than enough to take them down. We are just worried about the terrain. We don't know what the terrain is like over there?"

Zhuo Zilin thought for a moment and said, "When we arrive, don't rush to attack. Let's understand the situation first."

"OK."

They are not in a hurry to attack. After all, the opponent is well prepared to defend. If they attack rashly, they will suffer losses.

Moreover, they were frightened along the way. After all, this place was too narrow and it was extremely inconvenient for soldiers and horses to pass through.

Soon after, they arrived near the mountain pass.

Zhuo Zilin asked the army to stop and start stationed in place, and sent people to understand the surrounding situation, wanting to reconnoiter the terrain here first.

And the other side.

The officers, soldiers and guards on the mountain pass also discovered the Tiefeng Army below the mountain pass.

Liu Tiancheng observed it and said to Guo Kaien beside him: "This is General Zhuo, General Zhao's deputy general. He has always been unparalleled in resourcefulness. We have to be careful."

Guard captain Guo Kaien nodded and said: "General Liu is right."

"There's nothing to worry about." Master Li suddenly smiled and said: "No matter how smart he is, it will not be easy for them to attack Jackdaw Town."

"Um."

Thinking about the location of Jackdaw Town, it is simply a majestic pass. It is simply impossible for them to deal with it.

Soon after, Zhuo Zilin's reconnaissance of the mountain pass came to an end, and a serious problem was placed in front of him.

"It's really steep. The only road leading to Jackdaw Town is the mountain pass."

"But the passage of the mountain pass is only more than one foot wide, with cliffs nearly 100 meters high on both sides. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack."

"As long as they block the mountain pass, it will be difficult for us to even move forward."

Zhuo Zilin sighed.

"General, how can we complete the mission?"

In this situation, it was difficult for them to complete their mission, and it also made these generals a little worried.

"It is obviously impossible to set up a ladder, and the siege equipment will not work. The only direction in which we can attack is the mountain gate of the mountain pass, but I am afraid that in order to prevent us from attacking, they will block the mountain gate with huge rocks."

"So, the mountain gate may not be able to be breached."

"You report the matter to General Zhao first, and I will take a look at it here and think of a solution."

Therefore, the mountain pass in front of us can only be conquered wisely, not attacked by force.

"clear."

So, while Zhuo Zilin was preparing, he sent someone to contact the other party first.

"People on the other side, listen, we are from the Tiefeng Army. You should know how powerful we are. We hope that you will not make fearless resistance and surrender obediently. We will treat you well, otherwise, once we are captured, we will kill you. Not a single piece of armor is left.”

"Now, I will give you an hour to think about it. After an hour, if there is no reply, we will default to your choice to resist to the end."

After saying that, the soldier turned and left.

After the soldiers left, Master Li, Guo Kaien and Liu Tiancheng gathered together and began to discuss.

"What do you think of what they said?" Guo Kaien asked first.

"I don't think it's credible at all." Master Li shook his head.

"Yes, I think if you believe it, you are a fool." Liu Tiancheng also frowned. He knew the city lord's ambition and temper very well.

This time, they learned the truth about the plague, and it was impossible for them to go back alive.

Once they surrender, they will die faster.

"Then what should we do?" Guo Kaien asked.

"It goes without saying that if we resist to the end, I don't believe they can attack." Master Li snorted coldly, not having the slightest favorable impression of the Tie Feng Army.

"Okay." Guo Kaien thought for a while and felt that it was the same. There was no other choice except this road.

So, an hour later, when the soldier who was delivering the message came over again, he heard someone above say: "Get the hell out of here, if we don't surrender, if you have the ability, fight us!"

"That's right, although we don't have as many people as you, we are more than enough to defend this place."

With the mountain pass as a support, they were more confident and didn't take these guys seriously at all.

The soldier didn't even have a chance to speak. After being scolded, he said bitterly: "Well, you asked for it, don't regret it."

Liu Tiancheng took out his bow and arrow and said: "Come on, say one more word."

However, the other party ran away in disgrace.

Obviously, he was afraid that Liu Tiancheng would shoot him to death.

"Okay, we have completely broken with them. For our safety, we have to prepare for the battle quickly."

"Okay."

Although they have the advantage of the terrain of the mountain pass, they are facing the Tiefeng Army, which is good at fighting and has rich experience.

And they are just rookies who are on the battlefield for the first time.

When the news of their refusal to surrender reached Zhuo Zilin, he was not surprised. Instead, he smiled and said, "It seems that we have another battle to fight."

"Hahaha." The surrounding generals also laughed when they heard his words, as if they did not take the mountain pass in front of them seriously at all.

"Order the soldiers to start making pots and cooking."

"As for fighting, we will talk about it later."

"Yes."

They started to get busy and did not rush to attack. This also made the defenders of the mountain pass secretly relieved.
