Chapter 2118 The prisoners are coming
Wu Fan knew from the black shadow four-winged bird that the people who were held hostage were all heading back to their original cities, and he nodded with satisfaction.
However, this matter did not seem to be over yet.
Because if Shi Wenhao knew the situation here, he would definitely send people to the surrounding cities to capture the people. After all, this was their best way to crack the traps and formations outside Linshui City, and they had no reason not to use it.
Moreover, with this failure, they would only send more people next time. By then, it would not be easy for Wu Fan to solve it according to the method just now.
"I have to think of a way to solve this matter." Wu Fan thought to himself.
Go and assassinate Shi Wenhao directly?
Wu Fan was a little tempted. He was still in the appearance of Sun Hao. It was not difficult for him to sneak into the military camp of Shuiyue Country. He even had the opportunity to get close to Shi Wenhao. With Wu Fan's understanding of Shi Wenhao, it was not impossible to kill Shi Wenhao by surprise.
Shi Wenhao is a "scholar general" with rich theoretical knowledge, but his command and skills are not that strong. Not to mention that Wu Fan can use summoned creatures, even if he doesn't summon them, it is not impossible to kill Shi Wenhao by relying on his own skills.
But think about it carefully. Killing Shi Wenhao is easy, but it is difficult to really save Linshui City. After all, Shuiyue Kingdom is one of the four superpowers. Needless to say, the discipline of the army is definitely not comparable to the mob of ordinary rebels. Even if Shi Wenhao, the main general, dies, there will be other generals who will soon stand up to take charge of the overall situation, and the army of Shuiyue Kingdom will not be in chaos.
Moreover, Shi Wenhao's real ability is not that great. On the contrary, among the generals he brought, there are many veterans on the battlefield. If the general who stands up to take charge of the overall situation at that time is such a general, then for the army of Shuiyue Kingdom, the death of Shi Wenhao is not a bad thing, and for Heishui Kingdom, it is not a good thing either.
At the same time, the killing of the commander, no matter what the other soldiers thought of the commander, would arouse their hatred and morale. At that time, they might have no bottom line in doing things. Linshui City was better, but the surrounding cities might suffer.
Therefore, Shi Wenhao could not be killed, at least not for the time being.
Since Shi Wenhao could not be killed, Wu Fan could only think of other ways.
Just when Wu Fan was in trouble, he suddenly heard a piece of news from the black shadow four-winged bird.
A team was coming towards Linshui City and was approaching here.
Wu Fan immediately asked for more detailed information, and then came to a conclusion:
The captives from the Black Water Kingdom from Shanling Pass were about to arrive in Linshui City!
After learning the news, Wu Fan was overjoyed.
This was good news for him and Linshui City.
Wu Fan had already released the captives in Shanling Pass, in order to let them rush back to the country and participate in the battle of Linshui City. Those captives were all from Pengchuan, and they were highly credible. They would not avoid Shuiyue Country like some other people.
Sure enough, after Wu Fan released them, they rushed to Linshui City day and night. Shanling Pass was originally a border pass, not far from Heishui Country, and the area of Heishui Country was not too large. With those soldiers rushing day and night, they were finally about to arrive at Linshui City.
The Shuiyue Country army stationed outside Linshui City should not know the arrival of this captive army at present. Their attention was on Linshui City. After entering the territory of Heishui Country, they did not encounter any resistance at all. All the troops that dared to be enemies with them were now concentrated in Linshui City. Therefore, they did not pay much attention to the surrounding areas.
When he knew that the army from Shanling Pass was about to arrive, Wu Fan had an idea.
"Hurry up, faster!"
"Follow up, don't fall behind!"
"The army of Shuiyue Kingdom is besieging our capital, General Peng needs us now! Everyone, work harder!"
...
Dozens of miles away from Linshui City, there is an army marching fast. This team is the army from Shanling Pass of Nanping Kingdom.
After the defeat of Shanling Pass, more than 100,000 soldiers of Heishui Kingdom were captured. Wu Fan only let Peng Chuan and several generals around him leave in the early stage, and the rest were kept in Shanling Pass for detention.
For the prisoners, the guards of Shanling Pass will naturally not be too polite, and let them work every day. However, Wu Fan has explained that they should not be abused. Therefore, although these more than 100,000 prisoners work every day, their bodies have not collapsed and they can go to the battlefield at any time.
When deciding to release these captives, Wu Fan even equipped them with weapons and armor. Of course, this was also a big risk. After all, these more than 100,000 people were a force that could not be underestimated. If they took the weapons and equipment and turned around to attack Shanling Pass, it would be troublesome. After all, most of the defenders in Shanling Pass had been transferred by Wu Fan.
Fortunately, the captives did not turn around to attack Shanling Pass. After they learned the reason for their release from the defenders of Shanling Pass, they immediately rushed to Linshui City.
In fact, they really didn't think about attacking Shanling Pass. After all, they didn't know that the defenders of Shanling Pass had been transferred, and they had suffered a disastrous defeat here before, and now they didn't have the main generals. In this case, they were not sure to attack Shanling Pass again.
Even at the beginning, these captives thought that the people of Shanling Pass gave them weapons and equipment in order to lure them to attack Shanling Pass. In this way, the guards of Shanling Pass could justifiably eliminate them without bearing the stigma of slaughtering captives.
It was precisely because of these reasons that they did not have the idea of attacking Shanling Pass, and they were also thinking about Linshui City. However, they did not believe what the guards of Shanling Pass said at the beginning. It was not until they entered their own country and asked the locals about the situation that they were sure that the guards of Shanling Pass did not lie to them. Shuiyue Country was indeed attacking their Heishui Country and was about to arrive at Linshui City.
At the same time, they also learned that Peng Chuan had killed Qi Feng, occupied Linshui City, and was preparing to use Linshui City as a base to fight a battle with the army of Shuiyue Country.
After learning the news, the released captives rushed towards Linshui City without any hesitation. Most of them were Peng Chuan's men, so they would naturally stand on Peng Chuan's side at this time. Even though a small number of them were not Peng Chuan's die-hard fans, they were influenced by their comrades around them and the killing of Qi Feng, so they had no choice but to follow the large army to Linshui City.
