Rebirth: So what if my husband is a little crazy? He loves me.

Chapter 128 Surprise Attack

Shen Li fell asleep quickly this time, and even thought of Gu Chang'an for only a short while, but she could still hear Lin Wan'er returning very late.

The next day, when the sun was high in the sky, Daliang did not launch another attack on the city. Instead, they sent an envoy to ransom Yuwen He.

Lin Xiao was very pleased with himself. He sent someone to appease the envoy and wrote a memorial to the capital, saying that he was asking His Majesty to handle the matter, but in reality, he wanted His Majesty to know about such a big thing.

Moreover, the current Da Zhao is no longer in a state of being forced to release the God of Light. Now it has no shortage of people or food, and the Yuebei Pass is high and sturdy, which is not something that Da Liang can easily defeat.

It was Daliang that couldn't afford to wait out the war, so naturally they weren't in a hurry to negotiate.

So, just half a day later, the Liang general Mengta launched another full-scale attack on the city. Liang really couldn't afford to wait any longer. If they couldn't quickly take Yuebei Pass, they would have to retreat.

Now, less than three months into the war, some people in the court have been pessimistic about it in front of His Majesty, saying that he is only concerned with his own military achievements and disregards the people and the stability of the court.

Even if His Majesty is decisive, too many such voices will inevitably shake his resolve, and His Majesty is probably under great pressure, with the blame being shifted to him at any time.

He seemed to be enjoying great success, but there was only one path ahead of him: to capture the northern border of Vietnam.

Otherwise, the outcome might not be good.

As a top-notch general, Lin Xiao knew all too well that the more fiercely the enemy attacked, the more it meant they were at their limit, and this time the advantage lay with him.

He is patient.

So no matter how much Daliang challenged them, none of the three city gates opened, and Lin Ao was so anxious inside the city that he jumped up and down in frustration.

Shen Li was equally anxious. She tried to sneak onto the city wall more than once, but Lin Wan'er always brought her down very seriously.

"Don't you trust my abilities?"

"Your role isn't on the battlefield, and you know this battle won't last long, so why are you so impatient?" Lin Wan'er frowned and scolded her.

Shen Li was taken aback for a moment, then said with a smile, "This is the first time someone has said that I can't keep my temper. I just don't want to be a freeloader."

"I'll contact you if I need anything." This time, Lin Wan'er had two soldiers watching over her.

Shen Li had no choice but to stay in the barracks, but she didn't have to wait long before the Great Liang army withdrew once again.

Three days after Yuwen He was captured, the Liang army suddenly withdrew its troops again, and this time it was during the day.

The soldiers looked puzzled, but Lin Xiao and the others had been waiting for this moment.

News from the northern desert must have reached Monta.

Shen Li also received a message from Lian Qiao that same day, delivered by Shadow: the Northern Desert had invaded Daliang, and the Daliang emperor was furious and ordered Mengta to send people to support the Northern Desert, while giving him one last month to attack the city.

If the border at Yuebei Pass is not captured within a month, military law will apply.

Lin Xiao was overjoyed upon hearing the news: "We've finally got what we've been waiting for! Whether we can get revenge for the bullying we've suffered these past few months depends on you guys."

"Please give your instructions, General." Xiao Qilin, Wan'er, and the others clasped their hands in obedience.

Lin Ao was the most eager to try.

"Tonight, the three of you will lead three 10,000-strong teams to launch a surprise attack on the Liang camp. Nephew Xiao and Wan'er, you two will attack the left and right flanks. Ao'er, take advantage of the chaos in the army to raid the rear supply camp," Lin Xiao ordered.

"Yes!" Lin Ao accepted the order.

"General."

"Father."

Xiao Qi and Lin Wan'er said in unison, "Send me to launch a surprise attack on the rear."

This tactic clearly involves feints on the left and right flanks, while the rear is the final, most difficult, and dangerous part of the mission.

Everyone knows that those guarding provisions and military supplies are the most elite fighting force and are the best protected by the entire army.

"Don't argue with me, Father has already assigned it to me," Lin Ao said, dissatisfied. He finally had a chance to charge into battle, and everyone was trying to take it from him.

"Father, what we need more of in the rear is contingency planning. If you send me there and the timing isn't right, I will definitely come back and won't take any risks," Lin Wan'er persuaded.

"No way." Xiao Qi became even more anxious when he heard that Lin Wan'er wanted to go.

Shen Li sat to the side. In her opinion, Wan'er and her cousin were both capable enough to support the sneak attack, but Lin Ao was not so suitable and was a bit too reckless.

“You should always choose the most suitable person, and not favor your daughter.”

Lin Ao: "...Little sister, I'm still here."

Lin Xiao faced another difficult choice and finally changed the person to Lin Wan'er. It wasn't that Xiao Qi was unsuitable, but the Xiao family had only this one son left among all their meritorious members, so he absolutely could not be taken advantage of.

As for his own daughter, wasn't it also a painful decision for him to send her away?

"I will certainly not fail in my mission," Lin Wan'er accepted the military order before Xiao Qi could speak.

Xiao Qi had no choice but to obey, but he gave Lin Wan'er a few more instructions before each of them led their troops into action.

Shen Li followed behind Lin Wan'er. As long as she quietly blended into the group, no one would pay attention to her.

While others couldn't see it, Lin Wan'er wasn't blind. She asked her, "Are you really planning to go? The rear is very dangerous. If the timing is wrong, you won't be able to get out."

“Then I can at least bring you out.” Shen Li’s tone was calm in the first half of her sentence, but when she felt the atmosphere was heavy, she said in a lighter tone, “It won’t be that easy to surround me. You have some heavy weapons here, right?”

"Have you thought it through?" Lin Wan'er remained serious. "You have so many people around you who are worth cherishing, and you haven't even taken your revenge yet."

"Who on this battlefield has no time to live? Now that I'm here, I can't let this trip be in vain." Shen Li tapped her forehead: "Stop being so indecisive, give me the weapon."

Lin Wan'er laughed after being hit, and said cheerfully, "Alright, let's go together then. The heaviest weapon weighs a hundred pounds, and the lighter ones..."

"This is it." Shen Li chose a spear weighing over a hundred pounds. Although it was not as heavy as the halberd, it was still an absolute heavy weapon.

Lin Wan'er was stunned when she saw that Shen Li had easily made a few moves. She had always thought that she was only inferior to Shen Li in terms of literary talent, but she did not expect that she could not even beat her.

Is this a monster?

Three cavalry units quietly emerged from the city gate and sped towards the distant camp.

For the past three months, Da Zhao had been on the defensive, and this was the only time he took the initiative to attack.

The border city of Daliang was also built against the mountain, and was very far from the city of Dazhao. There was a river more than ten meters wide in between. So, in order to facilitate the attack on Daliang, the camp was set up near the riverbank close to Dazhao, and the whole army rested in the tents.

The light cavalry of the Great Zhao were extremely fast, and within half an hour they had simultaneously attacked the left and right flanks.

At that moment, Monta was gathering his generals to discuss reinforcements and adjustments to the tactics for attacking Yuebei Pass. He had no idea that Da Zhao would dare to counterattack. By the time he heard the commotion in the camp, two cavalry units had already stormed in.

The soldiers of Daliang had already gone to sleep and were caught completely off guard.
